Conspiracy or Coincidence?

9/24/2017

THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE

According to the Natural News online news publication, "nearly every 'official source' is constantly lying to the public" about medicine, agriculture, geology and of course, meteorology.

Oddly, a plethora of hurricanes and earthquakes have occurred in places that, hauntingly, the United States have issue with: Mexico and Korea. Some experts say it is likely that these "natural disasters" are not natural at all, but instead, man-made phenomena.

With reports revealing that weather weaponization technology is real, and the United States Government recognizes and has granted 175 patents on weather modification/weaponization technology, is it possible that the US has secretly launched geological warfare on these countries? What information does there exist that proves or disproves this theory? Hmm..you decide.

Those natural disasters are geological coincidences. First, not only did the disasters occur in different countries, but they also occurred in the U.S. Why would we attack ourselves? Why would we cause our own selves millions of dollars in damage, purposely? Second, if you could recollect your memory to August 28, when the eclipse occurred you should know that the moon and ocean are connected. Which explains the reason behind the hurricanes,and for earthquakes the tetonic plates must have been tampered with by the hurricanes which could've caused an earthquake.

I wholeheartedly agree. The US government is not stupid enough to attack itself so heavily, even if it was to draw attention away from their actions. We are not a subtle country, we love being gaudy. Creating a weather machine capable of that magnitude is something the US would probably brag about, just to validate their military superiority.

I have to agree. Although there are suspicions that the government creates catastrophes to distract the general audience, the recent natural disasters are too much. The distraught caused by these disasters are straining the country's budget and faith.

I wouldn’t say ,the natural causes would be man made ,due to the fact our countries would not want to have to Pay for the damages caused “the man-made cause “ . A reference would be like the Riot in Detroit,the city caused damages to the city and in the end had to come out of pocket in order to fix the city back up . Maybe the meteorologist(s) have new technology that allows them to know if the causes were “man-made” or just “nature’s calling “

I disagree, I think America has more money than it could ever need so spending money would be a problem.

E. Hernandez

9/26/2017 07:32:59 am

I think it's just a coincidence, it seems unlikely that the US would do that. Not only did the US enemy's been struck by a natural disaster. Even the US itself was struck by hurricane Harvey and Irma. Other countries such as Puerto Rico have also had terrible hurricanes/earthquakes. The timing makes this seem like the disasters are man-made, due to tensions with North Korea and others.

D Parker

9/28/2017 09:22:55 am

I agree. Why would the United States attack other countries and themselves over conflict not including them? If the technology were accessible and advanced enough, they’d use it against their enemies. The U. S. is more oriented on actual combat, threats and bombs, not toying with science. This is just my honest opinion, but I doubt any American would even think of this idea.

I agree. Why would we harm ourselves in the midst of hurting others? it’s just a coincidence this happened in between all the tensions around the world. If we had access to such technology we would use it against our enemy as much as possible.

D. Carter 1st period

9/26/2017 07:46:55 am

I honestly do not believe that all the natural disasters that have recently happened are a big coincidence. I believe that this is a conspiracy. The human race now has the technology to modify the weather. Since we now have the technology we can make our own natural disasters when and where we want to. All othe the hurricanes right after another couldn't just be a coincidence.

D. Tonche 1st pd

9/26/2017 08:47:50 am

I criticize your opinion, if the government was capable to control the weather, why haven't they used it to their advantage? For example, prevent the radical droughts in California or increase our crops surplus.

D. Tonche 1st pd

9/26/2017 08:43:47 am

My father questions the government from time to time, he always brings up conspiracy theories during a conversation of the government. One particular time he brought up the matter that the government created a machine that has the ability to control the weather, and it also has the potential to create natural disasters that can affect millions of lives. At the time I thought my dad was taking things out proportion and improbable for that to happen. If you ever scope the internet you are guaranteed to find others who believe in this theory. In my opinion the public creates these conspiracies to cope with the ongoing events in the world. Since news outlets have a greater impact among the public, people tend to feel overwhelmed with the distressing headlines. In attempt to make themselves feel better about the world, they blame the government for their misery. Now I will admit that the government has done numerable of sketchy things to get the masses in control but harnessing the power of mother nature seems to drastic to me. To conclude this prolonged narrative, i think the government is incapable of creating a machine strong enough to reach the depths of the ocean yet alone to control the weather.

Victor ajuobi

9/27/2017 07:44:05 am

I believe your statement is true but not based off this topic as the government has done some sketchy things but killing a whole bunch of people to test weapons isn't one of them. The government would have nothing to gain out of this. The consequences would also be very hard on the US government if this was true.

T.Dawson 4th

9/30/2017 07:32:27 am

Your argument is feasible. The government is sketchy , but to control the forces of nature is something that sounds surreal, movie like. I too have my conspiracies about the government, but this seems far fetched. The recent events are all a coincidence. There is such a thing as global warming.

Tho I said that it was harp there is a more likely idea that it is all coincidence

victor ajuobi

9/27/2017 07:40:48 am

I believe that these incidents with hurricanes and earthquakes are not man made because the amount of damages and destruction will not be a goal of the US just to test out weaponize weather technology. The extent of this being a secret weaponize program is really small. The US has nothing to gain from weaponize weather technology right now as a nuclear weapon crisis could happen with North Korea so my guess is that there focus is on that. There is just too many incidents that happened with hurricanes and hurricanes this year, which is quite normal to happen as the earth has seasons like this all the time. The US is most likely more focused on other type of weapons as weather isn't exactly the most easiest to control.

A. Fobbs 7

9/28/2017 06:39:46 am

I will have to differ on that. How is it humanly possible to control the weather. Even so why would we use it against our own country? Only nature can control it self. That sounds impossible to do.

D. Parker

9/28/2017 09:20:25 am

Humans can alter weather and nature SOMEWHAT. An example is global warming that occurs from fracking for oil and pollution from cars and trash. We however can not control these things at will. I wouldn’t chalk this up to the military because the technology isn’t advanced enough to control weather so easily.

C.villanueva 1st

9/29/2017 07:33:05 am

Hope Aleman

9/29/2017 09:35:34 am

I disagree. I mean, sit back and really think about it. I believe the US government is a government that would go as far as self destruction to manipulate the minds of its people. The US government is a narcissistic one in the eyes of many people, and with people like Trump in office, no type of crazy is too crazy.

I think it could be true that its man's fault that we have hurricanes. However, I don't think we can make hurricanes and earthquake on purpose. The cause of these hurricanes and them being so big is probably just change in climate due to the world heating up because of globe warming. Since we have been killing our planet with toxic gas and other harmfully things. Still,the internet and media lies about everything and everyone, so we can,t believe everything.

C.villanueva 1st

9/29/2017 07:39:11 am

I agree, the media lies to us all the time and make us believe things. They technically manipulate us and what us to question the government. We do have something to do with it but it couldn't go so far, the earth is just a mystery.

D. Parker

9/28/2017 09:06:58 am

I believe that natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornados and wild fires are somewhat man made. These can occur from pollution and other human acts such as fracking for oil. In most cases, natural events are just as the name implies - natural. Humans can only accelerate (or decelerate) this occurrences. Humans however aren’t completely to blame for natural disasters and the most we can do is prepare for them.

Tyreanna GuilLotte 6th

None of it actually makes sense. Different people say different things. But In reality i dont think people would want to hurt there selves an then have to pay a arm an a leg for it.
if the theories arent true then this is all just a coincidence that this is all happening while America is on the brink of war with korea.but if the the theories are true that these natural disasters are man made and not so natural at all America as a whole should be cautious.

A. Fobbs 7

9/29/2017 10:26:43 am

I agree with the fact that it dosn't make since. I don't understand how somone came up with a theory such as that. How could that be possible? Can why would they test it on us? Or just test it on North korea frist to see if it works.

R. Garcia 1st

9/30/2017 11:59:03 am

I think it makes sense,the u.s has developed some technology capable of altering the weather. the u.s has issues with other countries, and if the u.s decided to attack it would go unnoticed since it is, after all hurricane season. This does not mean i believe it is a geological conspiracy. To alter the weather would affect the U.S as well in this i agree with your statement.

T. Dawson 4

9/29/2017 02:42:14 am

The hurricanes and earthquakes that have recently occurred are geological consequences. Although the U.S. has tensions with Mexico and North Korea, other locations were affected. One of these locations was Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico is a common wealth of the United States . To attack your own territory makes no sense. If it were just countries that the U.S. had tense relationships with, then I would think it was the government.

C.villanueva 1st

9/29/2017 07:24:34 am

I believe that things happen for a reason. In other words, I believe it was a coincidence because its crazy to think that someone as normal as us even with so much technology could cause this much destruction. Why would someone even think of doing this much harm and they would probably target one certain area so its highly unlikely it was a conspiracy. Earthquakes and hurricanes happen all the time, just because it hasn't occurred the way it did recently doesn't mean its impossible. People probably had some doing in the way we've been treating the earth like a giant garbage can or a place to store the smoke but it would only be the push to these natural causes.

I.Florence

9/29/2017 10:44:47 am

Global warming is real and I believe it is contributing factor to the recent hurricanes. But due to it being hurricane season, hurricanes are expected. Global warming has probably just made it a little worse. I agree with your statement especially when you stated "...it's highly unlikely it was a conspiracy." In order for a conspiracy to be a conspiracy, it has to be intentional. By that I mean, a specific group has a plan intended to do harm. So the likelihood of that is unlikely.

C. McCowin 7th

9/30/2017 06:58:24 am

I strongly agree with your statement. The way you explained why the hurricanes and earthquakes are a coincidence is really why everything is happening the way it is. The government is not that strong to be controlling the weather, and why would they want to cause this much destruction to their own nation and cause this much harm to their people? Just because Trump is president and everything he is causing to America doesn't mean that he will go as far as creating hurricanes and earthquakes to destroy this nation.

Alaysha Moore

9/29/2017 07:36:58 am

This is not a coincidence this is a conspiracy because first off hurricane season doesn't usually come this early, second off with north Korea trying to attack the United States, I feel that this is a conspiracy. Just like the prompt said weaponized technology could have caused these hurricanes back to back. But why the nation turn back against themselves , that makes no sense. If you think about it the nation is not only putting other people in danger but they're putting themselves in danger too, if they're actually using the weaponized technology. But you what believe what any and everybody says.

I disagree with your comment because with global warming and with God's word, hurricanes and earthquakes can happen naturally and early. The government is not able to control the weather, even if there was a thing such as weaponized technology. I believe that the nation and the people are smarter than putting themselves in danger. And North Korea is definitely planning on attacking the United States.

Hope Aleman

9/29/2017 09:31:30 am

I've noticed that majority of people seem to believe that these disasters are geological coincidences, however, Is it too far of a stretch to think that they are possibly geological conspiracies? Its a widely known thought that the US government is secretive and manipulative, so it might just be a possibility that these "natural disasters" were launched to create a subtle yet affective warfare. Its already been proven that weather weaponization technology is real, and with these "natural disasters" occurring in places that we are currently having issues with, it's hard to believe that they are just coincidences.

I.Florence

9/29/2017 10:59:19 am

You are right that it is not too far stretched to think that natural disasters are possibly geological conspiracies. But I do not believe this was really a form of weather weaponization. Countries would have retaliated with other natural disasters or even war. Especially if they have powerful allies. In addition you mentioned, " "natural disasters" occurring in places that we are having issues with. The recent location of natural disasters have not really occurred in countries we have problems with. For example, Mexico just had an earthquake. The only problem problem with Mexico and the U.S is President Trump. I don't think this problem is big enough to produce a powerful earthquake, but I do like your point of view.

J. Maple

9/29/2017 12:26:25 pm

But are we that advanced that we can create a category 6 hurricane? It is much too far of a stretch to think that all of this is due to political tension between the US and other countries. None of the countries we have tension with are quiet fighters. They won't be the ones to use smoke and mirrors if it comes down to it. And the fact that these hurricanes are hitting the coasts adds to the point that they are just coincidental.

T.Shelton 1st period

B. Haynes 1st

9/30/2017 10:43:50 am

While I understand your point, is the U.S. government really that advanced in technology? Are we, in general, that advanced in technology? I believe that while nature can be altered by factors such as it being the "season," or global warming, it's a bit of stretch to say nature can be changed by technology. Also, you mentioned that hurricanes hit areas that America is currently having issues with. Does that explain Hurricane Harvey or Hurricane Irma?

I. Florence 1st

9/29/2017 10:35:04 am

Due to it being hurricane season, I believe the recent occurrence of hurricanes are geological coincidences. Even though there is no such thing as earthquake season, I believe earthquakes are geological coincidences too. There have been reports of weather weaponization, but I do not believe our technology is advanced enough to control the weather. If weather weaponization is real, the occurrence of natural disasters will be higher than compared to now due to countries wanting to harm each other. Even though I have watched a video of a machine making clouds, I highly doubt natural disasters are being produced.

J. Maple 1st

9/29/2017 12:20:49 pm

Due to the secretive and manipulative nature of the government, it is not improbable that the government can control natural disasters. But the question to ask is to what extent would they be able to achieve this? These natural disasters are so great in magnitude that new categories had to be created to measure their destructiveness. These disasters are merely geological coincidences, most likely caused by global warming, an issue that US government officials do not see as a real problem. Also, the damage inflicted on Florida and Houston effected the infrastructure of those places. Why would the US do that to themselves? Everyone in America will always find a way to doubt and spread unrest in the same country they should feel privileged to live in.

I. Chancellor 1st period

9/30/2017 11:57:33 am

I agree with you that the US government, causing the natural disasters, can be debatable. By having a secret force of very smart scientists, create it, without the rest of the world and its people know. With all honesty, that is true, that the power of the hurricanes are to much in magnitude and the government would not have the brain to do. In a like manner, I think it is a geological coincidence, and that is also true that they are not concerned with global warming and doing this, does not have significance to their point, that global warming is made up. That is true that Houston and Florida suffered, but they did destroy Black Wall Street and other places known or not, with great damage,but for right now, I would say no to the government ,messing with the weather. But however, sometimes that unrest and doubt people spread, is actually exposing the true, that is actually going on in secret, but again, no to messing with the weather.

B. Criss

9/29/2017 08:37:48 pm

The natural disasters that keep occurring are coincidences. As people we are not capable of controlling the weather but we do affect the weather. With our constant use of fossil fuels we cause the earth to over heat which changes the temperatures of our oceans that causes hurricanes and sunamis. The moving of the earths plates under the dirt causes earthquakes which humans do not affect at all. So no humans do not control the weather although we wish we could.

Zakamion Murry 7th period

9/29/2017 10:47:29 pm

All the lately natural disaster that’s have been happening are just a coincidence. Why would we hurt ourselves and our territories while trying to hurt others? I don’t think our government is dumb enough to do that. The only way we could possibly effect these natural disasters is the Climate change and global warming. Also if we had any power to control weather wouldn’t we do something to North Korea already?

B. Haynes 1st

9/30/2017 10:34:31 am

I agree with you, Summer. With the occurrences of Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma, I doubt that the conspiracy of the government being able to control the weather is true. Even if those hurricanes never happened, how could one actually create natural disasters that didn't result from things such as the weather to global warming?

I. Chancellor 1st period

In a like manner, I agree that these are geological coincidences. But however, I disagree with you about hurting themselves and territories because of the Black Wall Street in Tulsa and Seneca Village in New York and other places known or not, which have destroyed by non-blacks and the government. To me, they are dumb to do that, do to the two situations brought up in the sentence above, but the weather, no. With all honesty, that is true about the them effecting the natural disasters with global warming. In agreement, I think they would do evil things to North Korea with the weather because they are, our top enemies.

Conspiracies like theses are what I live for .With all the popularity surrounding Area 51 , conspiracies like theses have awaken. I honestly do believe that the U.S government has formed a way to control weather . The reason I believe this is because the hurricanes seemed to come out of nowhere . Some people believed that it was global warming and I could see why but I don’t think global warming could do that. There’s this thing called Haarp that the government built back in 1952 . Now why did I bring that up ? Because it government papers it’s known for being weather modification . The government will not tell people this which makes people blind and dumb . Also there’s a movie coming out called Geostorm that shows what the government could do with that type of power .

C. McCowin 7th

Earthquakes and Hurricanes are geological coincidences. I believe this mainly because of The Bible. There are many bible verses that discuss earthquakes and hurricanes. In Luke 21:11, the verse says, "There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven." In Nahum 1:3, this verse says, "The Lord is slow to anger and great in power, and the Lord will by no means clear the guilty. His way is in whirlwind and storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet." So, this is evidence from The Bible that hurricanes and earthquakes are all created by God. Also, I personally believe that there is no such things as conspiracies.

R. Garcia 1st

B. Haynes 1st

The hurricanes and earthquakes that have recently occurred are simply geological coincidences. Nature is a natural, and while it can be altered by humans and how well we take care of the Earth, nature is cause and effect. It’s not realistic to expect fantastic results in response from the Earth when humans are the ones who burn fossil fuels. Humans are the ones who clear trees that absorb carbon dioxide, and send heat trapping gases in the air, which are some of the main causes of climate change: the very reason nature is mad. Not to mention the fact that it’s hurricane season, and if anything, this same situation would have happened even if the Earth was in good condition, only there wouldn’t be as many hurricanes. Humans just amplified the outcome.

These natural disasters are geological coincidences. With all honesty, Mother Earth is speaking and she is making a point, that people are not taking care of her Earth and as a result, she is sending deadly natural disasters, to be heard. Which is the reason why other countries signed the Paris Climate Deal, but Donald Trump and another country, to stop these things from happening. Additionally, scientists are proving that the Earth is getting warmer and that the warmer it gets, the deadly natural disasters are going to be. Lastly, Mother Earth does not need us, we need Mother Earth.

R.Garcia

9/30/2017 10:48:08 am

Although i do see why the hurricanes and earthquakes that recently occurred would be considered to be geological conspiracies, they are nothing more than just geological coincidences. They are geological coincidences for one main reason, that the United states would not benefit from attacking the countries it is in conflict with. Years after developing forms of controlling the weather, people realized the major damage such acts might cause. Because of this representatives from multiple countries made an agreement at a U.N. “Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques” in 1977 (it was about what its title suggests). To attack other countries, would mean the U.S. would break the agreement, and as a result cause major problems, and quite possibly, a war that the U.S. would have no benefit in taking a part in.

J.Grant

The natural disasters that are current currently are not playing they are coincidences. These coincidences are affected by human beings when we use non-renewable resources. The use of these non-renewable resources cause the Earth to overheat. And because the Earth overheat it cause natural disasters such as hurricanes tsunamis earthquakes. Also these natural disasters happen because Earth as a natural way of rearranging itself.

Conspiracy it is. I say this because not only have the US exposed that it is technology to manufacture weather, the natural disasters happened in place of tension or beef with the US. Also, I think the US government is trying to control population (races). What better way to do it then by making what seem natural kill off the races that are the topic of discussion in today’s society. If you think that is a coincidence you are just as green as a freshman in highschool.

Many have different opinions on what is going on in the world right now, whether it is a scientifically or religious aspect. The natural disasters happening right now are geological conspiracies. Right now, everyone is being affected, different countries right after each other. This is news, people from across the countries are experiencing the same thing. Hurricane after hurricane, earthquake after earthquake, its happening so fast in the time span of less than two months. These hurricanes are not small either, they reach the maximum categories. They destroy countries and islands. Earthquakes too, they reach a high magnitude level leaving countries upside down.

The earthquakes are geological coincidence. I don't believe that the government would affect so many people. U.S. has issues with Mexico and Korea, but this disaster have been affecting the U.S. territory also. As an example there is Texas and Puerto Rico, they have been affected by two strong hurricanes. Therefore everything that has been happening it's a coincidence and not been caused by the government. The weather is something that can't be controlled therefore the government is not responsible for the natural disasters.
