NO LANDFALLS FOR HURRICANES IN US IN A DECADE
This story caught my eye this week, because while it seems completely unrelated to the "digital financial system" chaos I've been blogging about this week, it is oddly related to them. The story was spotted by W.G. who shared it along with a speculation that in this case I think is entirely warranted, and which, in this case, also impinges directly upon those digital systems chaos I've been concerned about in this week's two previous blogs. The story, as pointed out in the accompanying email W.G. sent to me, simply notes that this was an unusual hurricane season because no Atlantic hurricanes made landfall on the North American continent, an oddity especially after the previous year's disastrous hurricanes and storms. This year Jamaica was effected, and I have already blogged about my suspicions regarding that storm possibly being geoengineered. But W.G. asks a more significant question and outlines a more significant scenario to accompany the following story:
Why no Atlantic hurricanes made landfall in the U.S. this year for the first time in a decade
The answer to the question posed in the headline is the following:
The 2025 hurricane season is drawing to a close without a single one making landfall in the continental United States — for the first time in a decade.
After developing in tropical Atlantic waters near the equator, multiple storms this year initially appeared to be following paths that could have taken them toward the U.S. East Coast. But as they got closer, all of the systems that formed since the start of the season on June 1 ultimately veered northward and traveled back out to sea.
"They began to turn northward, away from the U.S. coastline, over and over again. We saw that repeatedly," said Greg Postel, a meteorologist at The Weather Channel. "It was really the dominant mode of the hurricane tracks this year."
It was an unusual phenomenon, at least compared with recent years. Postel said many who studied this hurricane season will likely remember it as "the year of the 'recurvature,'" which is when hurricanes "curve" away from land instead of striking it. That pattern can result from a variety of atmospheric conditions interacting with each other, according to Postel and other experts.
And here's the long convoluted answer in the article:
"When I look at the steering currents, the winds that determine where the hurricanes go at the core of the season, there was basically a big upper-level trough — an area of low pressure that hung out over the eastern U.S.," Rosencrans told CBS News. "It's spinning out there, and it's picking up these storms and causing them to go more to the north rather than continue their track to the west and potentially enter the Caribbean or the Gulf, at which point they're almost guaranteed to hit the U.S."
The area of low pressure weakened part of something known as the Bermuda High, which is among the leading forces influencing a hurricane's path.Where and when a hurricane is steered, and whether it travels northward, depends on the strength and location of the Bermuda High during a hurricane season, according to NOAA's hurricane research division.
Also called a "subtropical high," the Bermuda High is a ridge of high pressure in the North Atlantic where air circulates in a clockwise direction. A strong Bermuda High pushes hurricanes farther west before turning them northward, toward Florida and the Gulf of Mexico, whereas a weaker Bermuda high turns them northward sooner, either toward the East Coast or out to sea.
The upper-level trough that lingered over the East Coast took shape in tandem with a dip in the jet stream, which together produced a low-pressure area close to the surface of the ocean just several hundred miles from land, said Rosencrans. That weakened the western part of the Bermuda High, just several hundred miles from the shores of the continental U.S., and pushed the high-pressure ridge in the opposite direction.
Postel noted that such a pattern in the jet stream "is very good at deflecting incoming tropical systems out to sea."
"Why [the dip in the jet stream] was there globally, in the sort of scheme of the general circulation, is not entirely clear, but it's certainly something that characterized this hurricane season," he said. (Emphases added)
So to boil all this down for the sake of illustrating W.G.'s speculation, (1) an area of low pressure and (2) a corresponding area of a weak high pressure (the Bermuda high) combined to (3) push the jet stream further south than normal, and this in turn (4) pushed the hurricanes away from landfall on the continent.
But as W.G. put it to me in the accompanying email: isn't one the the possible uses of the HAARP (High Altitude Auroral Research Project) ionospheric heater to create just such areas of high and low pressure, and thereby to manipulate the jetstream, which in turn would allow one to "steer" storms? Answer, yes. These possibilities were not only outlined by Dr. Nick Begich and Jean Manning in their crucial book on the HAARP project, Angels Don't Play This HAARP, but such uses were actually part of the original patents themselves, and were certainly mentioned by the "inventor" of the HAARP project, plasma physicist Dr. Bernard Eastland. And, let it be noted, Begich and Manning's book appeared in 1995, contemporaneous with Bill Clinton's Secretary of Defense William Cohen warning the world about such things as weaponized weather.
Steering hurricanes by such means sounds like the purest fantasy. But allow me to add a personal anecdote to W.G.'s speculation. Back 2005 when hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans with such devastating effect, I and Richard C. Hoagland (among others) were convinced we were watching at least a steered storm, if not a completely engineered one. The reason? We were watching the weather radars very closely as the storm tracked east to west through the Gulf of Mexico. When it was due south of New Orleans, it appeared to pause briefly(gathering more energy), and then abruptly changed course almost 90 degrees from its original track and headed due north, directly toward New Orleans. What happened next had the phone lines between us burning, because we both saw the same thing. The jet stream suddenly plunged south as the storm approached the city, as if someone were trying a last ditch effort to drive the storm away. We both thought that perhaps we had just witnessed a real live "weather war" being waged.
The bottom line here is that not only are weather modification and manipulation technologies in existence, but the basic mechanisms for steering storms has been known for some time as a matter of public record. As authoress Elana Freeland has put it, "There is no more any such thing as purely natural weather." She's right. Every odd pattern - such as the absence of landfalls for Atlantic hurricanes for the first time in over a decade - must now entertain the idea that these are not mere statistical blips, but possibly engineered patterns. Once we add into the mix an actual "weather warfare" possibility, the interpretive task becomes even more difficult as it becomes wider with possibilities. If there was a "weather war" being waged on this country last year, then it would appear that for the moment they have been checked.
Add weather warfare capabilities to the manipulation of equities and commodities markets, and one has a very powerful toolbox of financial manipulation and exploitation as well.
Just please do not wed artificial intelligence agents to technologies like HAARP...
See you on the flip side...
