Yakuza Caused Katrina
Weatherman Scott Stevens claims that "Japanese gangsters known as the Yakuza caused Hurricane Katrina." Here are more details (thanks to John for sending me the link):Scott Stevens says after looking at NASA satellite photos of the hurricane, he is convinced it was caused by electromagnetic generators from ground-based microwave transmitters. The generators emit a soundwave between three and 30 megahertz and Stevens claims the Russians invented the storm-creating technology back in 1976 and sold it to others in the late 1980s. Stevens says the clouds formed by the generators are different than normal clouds and are able to appear out of nowhere and says Katrina had many rotation points that are unusual for hurricanes. At least ten nations and organizations possess the technology but Stevens suspects the Japanese Yakuza created Katrina in order to make a fortune in the futures market and to get even with the U.S. for the 1945 bombing of Hiroshima.
Also check out Scott Stevens's website, Weather Wars, where he elaborates on his theory of scalar weather (as he calls it) and provides a lot of hurricane imagery to make his case. Stevens really seems to believe his theory, so I would classify it as a conspiracy theory rather than a hoax.
Update: Here's a page with more pictures of supposedly artificially created scalar weather phenomena.

It seems that these Yakuza are more cunning than orignally suspected, check out this other website about the yakuza and Bush Sr. family member doing a multi million dollar business deal with the Yakuza. The house of Saud and now the Yakuza, this family is out of control.
Seriously, that Scott guy is completely bat shit, anyone wanna bet on the hi/low for the number of days for him to lose his job? I'm saying 2.

Posted by Jz on Sun Sep 18, 2005 at 04:07 AMHiro, that isn't as far fetched as causing hurricanes from Earth's surface.
It is possible with today's technology to instigate an earthquake; Many of the world's largest hydroelectric dams have increased the size and number of quakes in their area by surprisingly high amounts. Aswan High Dam in Egypt nearly tripled the number of earthquakes there, and doubled their average intensuty since it filled. The effect is the mass of water upon the ground causing pressure to increase upon local fault lines, plus some seepage of water into the fault itself.
Also, pumping water directly into a fault line acan cause a quake by making a fault line more slippery; The US geological Service tried that along minor branches of the San Andreas Fault to see if they could reduce the seismic stress in the main fault line back in the 1970's. Takes millions of litres to do it, and since you need large numbers of drilling rigs to do it, it doesn't seem as if it would go unnoticed.
Refer to the book "War In 2080" for a discussion of this and weather warfare. Forget the author offhand.

Yeah, I noticed in his bio that he got bounced out of Albany, New York to wind up back home in eastern Idaho. And we know what kind of blond conspriacy wackos love Idaho.

OK, so who wants to join me in creating yet another wild conspiracy theory for fun and profit? How about. "Oil: Really just colored water; The Arab's Will Conquer the World Conspiracy". Let's sell t-shirts and videos!!!

Posted by rad on Sat Sep 24, 2005 at 08:50 AMGrand scale weather modification is plausible.
Several tons of cross-linked sodium polyacrylate, the powdery stuff found in baby diapers, spread over the tops of clouds could absorb the water out of them, fall to the ocean and dissolve without a trace. Has been done before on thunderstorms. Could weaken a hurricane by allowing clear channels of dry air into the eye. If you watch the radar loop of Rita you can see dry streaks appear in the north west corner of the storm starting Friday around noon.

FYI: Scott Stevens is a weather forecaster, NOT a meteorologist! He doesn't even hold a B.A. or a B.S. degree in meteorologic sciences, let alone physics. So his knowledge of the subjects he purports to be an expert on is limited at best. And as to his integrity, well... one has to question it, when he was fired/resigned from WRGB in NY for lying on his resume'. He's made his living as a superficial TV personality, why should anyone expect anything different now.
Posted by Koza on Mon Sep 26, 2005 at 09:08 PMI just forwarded some of this stuff to a guy who seems to think that most conspiracy theories are planted by the real conspirators, the Catholic church, to divert attention from themselves as they take over the world. I will be interested in his response.
Posted by John on Fri Oct 21, 2005 at 08:18 PMman you people are dumb
this techonology WAS PATIENTED 20 YEARS AGO.
you can go online to the patent office and read it for yourself. OMG are you THAT clueless, yes you can create and disperse those types of events. they are much easier than say a tornado which appears and dissipates rapidly.
OMG get a clue you stupid people
for all you idiots go read it then shut up

Um, you are aware that a patent for a product means nothing, aren't you? You don't even need a working prototype, you can patent an idea for one. It doesn't matter that the device doesn't exist and probably never will. Please be aware of your facts before calling people 'idiots'. You've only displayed your own ignorance here.
Posted by Charybdis in Hell on Fri Nov 25, 2005 at 07:57 AMOMG.. what an arguement.. what an idiot.
"Um, you are aware that a patent for a product means nothing, aren't you? You don't even need a working prototype,"
this only displays how CLUELESS you are.
if you were not an idiot, you would.
1. READ THE PATENTS
2. READ THE PATENTS
3. READ THE PATENTS.
THEY VERY CLEARLY SHOW YOU WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN YOU LOOK AT CLOUD FORMATIONS, YOU TOOL.
20 YEARS AGO BILLIONS OF DOLLARS WERE INVESTED IN THIS TECHOLOGY, YOU TOOL.
It is people like you who IGNORE the OBIVOUS and play the flame game to distract from the TRUTH.
this is why your an idiot. this is why you dont deserve an adult response..
YOU HAVE NO DEBATE, ONLY DISTRACTION..
R E A D then debate or SHUT THE F UP.

Let us think about this some more..
disreguard people living in a fantasy land..
1. Ideas from almost 100 years ago in Russia have been worked on by countries since then to establish weather control. This is a VERY WELL PROOVABLE DOCUMENTED F A C T. Both by US and Russian newspapers and lawmakers.. ITS IN THE RECORD PEOPLE!!!!!
2. In the 80s, billions of dollars were dumped into the "Star Wars" program. Out of that 8 patents were made. Multiple contractors were involved in this techology and real people like you an me make a paycheck working for an on these types of programs.
3. In the 90s, the programs were canceled due to lack of funding. the goals setout for 2010 were pushed back to 2025. at this time a document was published in the US government with subject matter of "controlling the weather by 2025". In this document the same types of controls are meantioned that were the hopes of Tesla and also what was in those patents. its the same deal, simply put, managing focused energy.
4. 2005 rolls around and we have ample evidence of these types of events taking place. there is video and data proof that shows the disburances in the atsmosphere percisly as those that were exactly described by the Star Wars problem.. You can READ THE PATENTS and clearly see that.
So what you people are telling me is that this program, those compaines and the war for the weather has all of a sudden just "dropped off planet earth, and its all hokey pokey". That
IMPOSSIBLE NATURAL EVENTS are taking place, and that they DO NOT DEFY EXPLINATION, because simply, IF YOU READ THE PATENTS THEY SHOW YOU EXACTLY WHAT THIER DOING.
who's living in a fantasy land..
is it more likly that
A. People are in a struggle for power and control of the world, and will stop at nothing to obtain it. Governments have worked towards and PROOVEN success with these types of instruments
or
b. All of this is a lie, all that money was taken and stolen from the governments. And all the "strange things" happening right now are just RANDOM OCCURANCES.. (even thou the manual is right in front of you)
sure buddy.. keep on truckin.
when the shit comes down, and you're freaked out and illprepared.. just remember you were WRONG.

OK, Cluess In Hell, given you are correct about patents and the success of the research. Grant also that this technology is in a working state at the present time and has been long enough to have been used in the timeframe we are discussing.
Doe sit seem reasonable that a criminal organistaion like the Yakuza would be able to obtain access to it? Unlikely, they have a distinct non-violent approach to natural disasters - The proof being that they actually are first on the scene with relief efforts during earthquakes in their own country, such as the supplies of water they gave out during the Osaka earthquake some years ago. That is recorded fact; Also, they have a distrust of foreingers and are so not likely to work with them on gaining this technology that it seems even more ludicrous to suggest it.
As to your assertions about weather control by US governments - Shadow or otherwise - It would seem counterproductive for them to strike at their own people with such a device, particularly when they need the oil refineries to be in operation to support their war effort. Granted some form of racist agenda, there are far easier ways of removing the population of African-Americans in the south than weather warfare - The K3T variant of scrub typhus which the CDC in Atlanta has does the job a whole lot faster and would never be detected in time by anyone who counted.
I am with Leo Szilard on the possibility of such things: Those ruthless enough to do it haven't got the intellect to carry it out, and the ones clever enough have far more interesting things to do with their time.
