POCATELLO - To the rest of the country, Scott Stevens is the Idaho weatherman who blames the Japanese Mafia for Hurricane Katrina. To folks in Pocatello, he's the face of the weather at KPVI News Channel 6.
The Pocatello native made his final Channel 6 forecast Thursday night, leaving a job he's held for nine years in order to pursue his weather theories on a full-time basis.

You forgot Moonbat Alert!
I thought Paul Wolfowitz had a weather machine....
Methinks it was a cave men angry at the morons that invented the wheel.
It's the SUN stupid!!! The Sun is the electromagnetic etc. generator that is providing all of our energy and causing all the commotion that you dimwit RATs can't comprehend! And you can't do anything about it!
You banned the freon, did things get better?
Does the aforementioned technology exist?
I don't know.
Is it within the realm of possibility?
Why not?
If it does exist, would the ruling classes use it against their enemies?
Without a doubt.
He was on C2C-am last night!
He comes from the right town. Pocatello is named after a Shoshone War Chief (He who strays from the path), which really fits this lunatic.
Karl Rove exposed!! Seriously, you have GOT to go to this nut's web site. Some really neat photos and insight into a mind that mirrors academia's worldview. He even quotes W as saying a weapon devastated the Gulf Coast as support for his views.
I posted this thread for amusement purposes only. I do not supports this nut's claim. My first post made clear how I felt.
Sorry, YOU, I meant enwirowako RATs.

Malaysia to Battle Smog With Cyclones
NEWS BRIEF: "Malaysia to Battle Smog With Cyclones"
by Chen May Yee,
Staff Reporter of the Wall Street Journal
Thursday, November 13, 1997, page A19.
"KULA LUMPUR -- Malaysia's war on smog is about to get a new twist. The government wants to create man-made cyclones to scrub away the haze that has plagued Malaysia since July. 'We will use special technology to create an artificial cyclone to clean the air', said Datuk Law Hieng Ding, minister for science, technology and the environment. The plan calls for the use of new Russian technology to create cyclones -- the giant storms also known as typhoons and hurricanes -- to cause torrential rains, washing the smoke out of the air. The Malaysian cabinet and the finance minister have approved the plan, Datuk Law said. A Malaysian company, BioCure Sdn. Bhd., will sign a memorandum of understanding soon with a government-owned Russian party to produce the cyclone."
"Datuk Law declined to disclose the size of the cyclone to be generated, or the mechanism. 'The details I don't have', he said. He did say, though, that the cyclone generated would be 'quite strong'. Datuk Law also declined to disclose the price of creating the cyclone. But, he said, Malaysia doesn't have to pay if the project doesn't work."

Malaysia calls in Russian rainmakers

"Q: Let me ask you specifically about last week's scare here in Washington, and what we might have learned from how prepared we are to deal with that (inaudible), at B'nai Brith.
A: Well, it points out the nature of the threat. It turned out to be a false threat under the circumstances. But as we've learned in the intelligence community, we had something called -- and we have James Woolsey here to perhaps even address this question about phantom moles. The mere fear that there is a mole within an agency can set off a chain reaction and a hunt for that particular mole which can paralyze the agency for weeks and months and years even, in a search. The same thing is true about just the false scare of a threat of using some kind of a chemical weapon or a biological one. There are some reports, for example, that some countries have been trying to construct something like an Ebola Virus, and that would be a very dangerous phenomenon, to say the least. Alvin Toeffler has written about this in terms of some scientists in their laboratories trying to devise certain types of pathogens that would be ethnic specific so that they could just eliminate certain ethnic groups and races; and others are designing some sort of engineering, some sort of insects that can destroy specific crops. Others are engaging even in an eco- type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves."

Catarina hits Brazil
"Pick up any text book on hurricanes and it will tell you that the one place where hurricanes do not occur is the South Atlantic Ocean. The atmosphere does not provide enough spin near the surface to get them started and winds higher in the atmosphere tend to shear off any that do make a start. Hence, it was with some amazement that meteorologists watched the first ever recorded hurricane develop off the coast of Brazil in the last week of March."

Modern technologies unable to predict weather changes Pravda
"The director of the Russian geophysical observatory of the Russian Meteorological Service, A.Voyeikov, says that the process of making a weather forecast for Russia, the USA, Europe and Canada is much more complicated in comparison with other states. "Atmospheric processes are not stable on these territories, and cyclones may occur absolutely incidentally," Voyeikov said."

Special unit of Russian aviation uses cement particles and acids to change weather
Pravda
"Russian news programs often report about intentions of Moscow or St.Petersburg governments to improve weather on the threshold of an important event. Russian meteorologists say that such practice is used presumably in Russia, whereas weather services of foreign states do not send their aircrafts to bomb rainy clouds with cement and acids.
Lev Fyodorov is certain, however, that Russia is not the only state that uses weather-affecting technologies. The USA fights for sunny weather too, when the US government prefers to clear the sky above Washington, for example. "Rain can ruin holidays in the States too. When Putin or Bush step up on a tribune outdoors, it stops raining, if it was raining, of course," the expert said."

SAN FRANCISCO - An unexplained power surge in the West Coast's main
electrical transmission line caused blackouts and other power power
disruptions across eight Western states early Wednesday, shutting down a
nuclear plant and forcing doctors to operate by flashlight.
As many as two million customers from Arizona to Washington went without
power for periods ranging from a few seconds to several hours when a
stretch of the giant 500-kilovolt Pacific power grid went dead just after
midnight.
The blackout darkened the homes of 1 million California customers and
interrupted power to patches of Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Oregon, Washington,
Idaho and Montana.
An initial inspection showed no breaks in the section where the trouble
began, a 60-mile line between Tracy and Fresno in California's Central
Valley.
"We believe it was a power surge from outside our service area, and a
substation tripped to prevent an overloading of our system, just as a
circuit breaker would do in your house," said Bill Sessa, Pacific Gas &
Electric Co. spokesman.

It's a 'new era' of hurricanes
CNN
"CNN) -- Hurricanes aren't behaving like many of us are used to them behaving. They're bigger and meaner, and more numerous than many people have seen.
Charley, Frances, Ivan and Jeanne tore up parts of Florida last year. After tweaking Florida, Katrina and Rita are wreaking havoc this year along the Gulf Coast from Alabama to Texas.
But don't rush to blame it on global warming, experts warn.
Max Mayfield, director of the National Hurricane Center in Miami, told a Senate subcommittee on Tuesday that we're in a period of heightened hurricane activity that could last another decade or two."

China rain-making creates a stormBBC
"Relations between neighbouring Chinese cities have become stormy over the use of controversial technology which encourages rainfall.
Drought-stricken central Henan province has been using a method called cloud seeding, in which chemicals are shot at clouds, the China Daily reported.
The method did bring rain to Henan - but not equally to all areas.
Meteorological officials in one city accused neighbouring colleagues of over-using the method, the paper said."

Why is this summer so hot? Toronto Star
"As the heat wave continues to fry Greater Toronto, residents are left with a burning question: Why has this summer been so hot and humid?
The answer is anything but simple.
"No one wants to answer that question because none of us really knows," said Ellen Wall, a professor of environmental sciences at the University of Guelph.
What is clear, say meteorologists, is that air from the south produces warm weather, while air from the north results in cool weather. Unlike last summer, when lots of northerly air flew over Toronto, most of the air this summer has its roots in the Gulf of Mexico and the pollution-thick Ohio valley, said David Phillips, a senior climatologist with Environment Canada.
This southerly air explains the warm temperatures, said Phillips.
What is not known is why the high-pressure system that has hovered over Toronto in recent weeks, resulting in week-after-week of record-breaking heat, has refused to budge."

You mark my words, they're going to rule the world.
Those juwish neocons have everything.
They get even shares of Iraq, for one thing!
:) Glad your having fun! When your done i suggest you read a few of the articles i pointed out?
Thanks....
