many humans have prophecized about this concept for hundreds of years, yet the vector of our progress has not changed. if fate does not exist, then there must be some collective goal towards self-destruction.

And how often do laws stop the us government from doing what they want? They just call t something different and carry on. It's not environmental modification, it's ecosystem adjustment [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

And it would be so easy to convince citizens we need to do it.

"Look! Scary aliens are coming for us! We need to make space weapons! And spaceworth warships!"

Just like terrorism in the middle east. Al Qaeda is coming for us, we must invade Iraq, etc.

It would make sense. The U.S. and its main rivals are locked in M.A.D. so they have to resort to proxy wars and other less direct methods like cyber warfare, economic warfare etc etc. Weather war would be hard to trace and is far more devastating over a wider area Not to mention the demoralizing affects of such actions. Causing drought conditions for instance could lead to famine which leads to internal strife causing a revolt or coup. Then you send in recovery crews to profit from redevelopment. Pretty sweet deal these guys are working.

causing a drought to start an uprising? why do that when we can freeze assets of a country's leader/s, effectively manipulate their economy, not physically harm any of its citizens other than what they do to themselves, and get lucky if they unite and rebel against their leader/s with US economic sanctions which are generally viewed as a positive measure by the international community. the international currency is the us dollar for a reason, but lots of people are impatient now and days. unfortunately.

It's not that simple these days unless you're going to have a media blackout on it. With 9/11 and increased public awareness of what happened before it to get certain laws passed and things done, people know that there's some shady shit going on behind the curtains that we're not meant to have any interest in or awareness of.

Anyone remember the partition of Sudan in 2011? Totally oil based and allowing big businesses to get in there and get it out for cheap. Remember that on the news? It was mentioned in the UK but not frequently or for long.

Even the most hardcore tinfoil hat wearer is going to have a job explaining to someone on the street that the weather can be controlled.

Also the US dollar took a knock as the international currency when Obama increased the debt ceiling. Printing mo' money just depreciates the currency (like 1kpp doesn't go as far as it used to etc)

TL;DR - if you see Bush/Towers on a poll, be sure to vote for it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Between last year and the previous year the China yuan changed from 2% to 9% of global monetary exchanges. This is not an insignificant amount. The more we play games with the value of our currency the less appealing it is to other countries. Also, despite the shadow numbers the Chinese government puts forth about their economics, their economy will overtake ours. If we continue down current spending levels their currency will be worth more than ours.

Rome fell before, it will fall again.

Do you really think that the GDP and economic gains of China is in any way sustainable? Even now they are performing extraordinary measures to mask a huge economic slowdown. China will continue to be competitive in a monetary market...but the dollar will continue to be the safest and most stable method to store funds. Also its easier to spend.
