Climate Chaos: Landslides kill in Nepal and L.A.

As a consequence of climate chaos -- brought about by geoengineering, weather modification, and the military-industrial complex's aerosol dispersion/chemtrail programs now extended worldwide -- Nepal and Los Angeles have been flooded by unexpected rain bursts. The downpours, following periods of drought conditions that kill off supportive vegetation that usually holds the ground in place, caused landslides that buried many alive and led to control efforts.

There was no chance of finding any of the more than 150 people believed to have been buried by a massive landslide in northern Nepal, an official said.

Rescuers had recovered only eight bodies since the landslide early Saturday blocked a mountain river, causing the water to form a lake that was threatening to burst and sweep several villages. Rainfall Sunday hampered search attempts.

"We have no chance of fiding any of the missing people alive under this pile of debris," said Yadav Prasad Loirala, who heads the government's Department of Natural Disaster Management. "We have names of 159 people who ar3e believed to be missing and buried, but there could be even more people."

Northern foothills of Los Angeles - A thunderstorm that lasted only about an hour and dropped more than 4 inches of rain Sunday [after sprinkling on Saturday night] from Glendora to Oak Glen and Angeles Crest Highway near Wrightwood.

It caused flash floods, mudslides, evacuations, washed away cars, created massive debris flows that choked roadways, stranded residents and campers, and caused at least four people to be rescued from surging floodwaters, law and fire enforcement agencies said.
 
The storm’s fury did the most damage in the Mt. Baldy area and the community of Forest Falls in San Bernardino County.
 
In the Angeles National Forest, a rock slide covered all lanes of the Angeles Crest Highway at mile marker 66 near Little Jimmy Road west of Wrightwood around 4:15 pm, and a smaller slide was reported a few minutes later on San Gabriel Canyon Road at Crystal Lake Road above Glendora, according to the California Highway Patrol.
 
A slide near the Mt. Baldy Fire Station, reported at 5:18 pm, closed Mt. Baldy Road, the CHP reported.
 
The National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning through 7:00 pm Sunday in the eastern San Gabriel Mountains.
 
Four to five people and dog became stranded by raging floodwater and were unable to reach their vehicle, Sgt. Rebecca Rodriguez of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s San Dimas Station said. They were airlifted to safety by a sheriff’s helicopter about 5:30 pm, she said.
 
An overturned vehicle was found near the intersection of Bear Creek and Mt. Baldy roads, but no one was inside, Rodriguez said.
 
In San Bernardino County, flash flooding washed out parts of Forest’s Falls main road, causing evacuations, and one resident had to be saved by swift water rescuers, authorities said. More

Climate Chaos: Geoengineering and Weather Manipulation

One Killed, Thousands Stranded Clean up crews are clearing debris, trying to reach those stranded by sudden Southern California storms yesterday.
.
Climate engineering, also referred to as geoengineering, is the deliberate and large-scale intervention in the Earth’s climatic system.
 
Host Rob Simone welcomed two experts on Saturday night, Dane Wigington and Scott Stevens, for a discussion on how the Earth's weather systems are being deliberately manipulated and used to disrupt the world's climate, rain patterns, snowfall, seasons, ability to grow food, and more.
 
Beyond the damage that tampering with the atmosphere has on the environment, Wigington declares that weather manipulation, conducted by the military-industrial complex (MIC) via clandestine programs such as HAARP and chemtrail spraying, also constitutes an "all out assault on life on Earth."

The weather is being used as a weapon by U.S. MIC (thelivingmoon.com)
.
To that end, he contends that the rise in deaths caused by respiratory illnesses as well as the explosion in both autism and Alzheimer's disease coincide with the emergence of chemtrail contamination.
 
You're destroying my world (Clarke)
On a broader level, Wigington suggests that natural disasters, such as hurricanes, typhoons, and earthquakes, are being created by programs like HAARP as a way of allowing the United States to gain a foothold in foreign territories under the cover of "humanitarian" relief. But this is actually covert war. He points to Buddhist Thailand refusing to let the U.S. build an airbase in their country in 2011 then subsequently being afflicted/attacked with record flooding shortly thereafter. (The same happened with much worse consequences for Buddhist Japan, which was threatened then hit with quakes, a tsunami, and the subsequent nuclear disaster at Fukushima.

In addition, Wigington theorizes that Middle East nations are subjected to intense droughts as a means of destabilizing unfriendly-to-the-West regimes the U.S./MIC wishes to topple. "This whole situation is such a tangled web of corruption and insanity," he laments, noting that those who control the weather are using their power and knowledge to benefit financially from the hardships they create.

Joining the program in the second half , meteorologist Scott Stevens talked about the origins of secret weather modification and the agenda behind it. According to Stevens, the desire to control the weather arose in the Soviet Union at the advent of the Cold War as the Russians were desperate to gain a military advantage over the U.S. This experimenting with geoengineering, Stevens explains, culminated in the mid-1970's where the U.S. experienced bizarre weather conditions such as snow in Miami.
 
Based on Stevens' research, the U.S. Army revealed this secret weather war to Pres. Reagan in 1984, which resulted in the creation of the U.S.'s Strategic Defense Initiative as well as America's entering the dirty game of geoengineering.
 
Shuttle shoot down using weather

Stevens also claims that the disasters that befell the Challenger and Columbia space shuttles were not  accidents. What were they instead? "They were shoot downs," spawned from the ongoing international battle for control of the environment. Stevens alleges that, at the time of the Challenger launch, there were Soviet ships off the coast of Cape Canaveral that insisted on being in the area for reasons that remain unknown.
 
However, he added, "72 seconds later, they blew the O-ring, and we lost the shuttle." Regarding the Columbia re-entry explosion, he cites an explosive photograph taken by an amateur astronomer that shows a "right-angled, corkscrew lightning strike" that intercepted the path of the shuttle and caused it to disintegrate.

L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti will announce today the Los Angeles River is receiving $1 billion to rehab 11 miles of it [where it is not paved but is allowed to percolate into the ground].

Rehabbing the river from downtown to Elysian Park is seen as the first step toward rehabilitating the entire 51-mile stretch of the river. The Army Corps of Engineers will recommend a $1 billion proposal to revitalize 11 miles along the Los Angeles River, which gives Mayor Eric Garcetti one of his first major political wins, reports the Los Angeles Times:

It was never a sewer, just flood control. A $1-billion proposal to restore an 11-mile stretch of the L.A. River received support from US Army Corps of Engineers this week (Jae C. Hong).

After originally pushing for a cheaper $453-million plan, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced this week that it now supports a more robust, $1-billion proposal that would widen the river and restore habitat along an 11-mile stretch north of downtown through Elysian Park.

Speaking in a grassy park beside the river, Army Corps Col. Kimberly Colloton said the decision not only recognized "the importance of the river to Angelenos, but it validates its place as a waterway of national significance." More

Mysterious RAIN storm sweeps through L.A.

A mysterious rainstorm swept through Los Angeles yesterday, concentrating in the foothill suburb of Pasadena, headwaters for the mostly concrete Los Angeles River. While there were no fatalities, it did lead to many collisions because the inhabitants of this desert megalopolis do not know how to drive in rain, sleet, or snow, which rarely is a problem. 

(Oh no, it's raining!) The cause of the storm is unknown, probably a coincidence. These sorts of things just happen sometimes. A dancing flash mob was observed in Hahamongna in the vicinity of Devil's Gate Dam, but they did not expect flash flooding.

Their Native American ceremonial activities are not thought to be connected to either last night's showers or a second storm forecast for Southern California, which is expected to pass with more disruptions than the first rains. The region is now bracing for the larger of the two storms, which is expected to arrive on Thursday night and last through Saturday or Sunday.

LA Rain: Full list of advisories
Nearly an inch of rain fell in downtown Los Angeles (five miles south of Pasadena), with the San Gabriel Mountains getting up to two inches of rain. The California Highway Patrol reports there were about 111 collisions in L.A. County between 5:00 and 9:00 am Thursday morning. That is more than double the total of a non-rain day.
