support of Total Force Army and Air Force operations in the CONUS…

These military “weather forces” are tasked with exploiting the weather for air, space,
cyberspace, and ground operations that serve the four military branches and Intelligence
Community. Certainly, they are concerned with the chemical and electromagnetic technology
that delivers “force multiplication,” but not with the decision-making.
From our mainstream media, we hear a lot about agencies like the EPA (Environmental
Protection Agency), NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), USGS (U.S.
Geological Survey) and NASA, but not about the agencies pivotal to the creation and
maintenance of our ionized atmosphere, including intelligence agencies. Here is how I
characterize NASA:

• ​National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) a psychological intelligence
operation tasked with confusing public knowledge of covert space defense, space
weapons, unmanned satellite and rocket launches, and plasma research.
• ​NASA’s Ames Research Center, whose Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Project
(SETI) is a cover story for “Human Factors” (PSY-Warfare Division), e.g., MK-
ULTRA; at Sunnyvale, CA. (e.g., Project Snowbird, Project Aquarius, Project Tacit
Rainbow)

More important by far to the geoengineering matter at hand are two intelligence agencies: the
National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA).
The National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) flies, controls, and collects information from spy
satellites of the IC and DoD, monitors exotic propulsion traffic, and coordinates energy beam
weapons, all from the Pentagon basement and Dulles Airport, Virginia.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) works with the DoD and the ODNI through the
NRO. As part of the Intelligence Community (IC), the NRO employs private security employees
to fly American spy satellites for the DoD and ODNI. Investigative journalist Tim Shorrock in
his 2008 book Spies for Hire: The Secret World of Intelligence Outsourcing writes that 95
percent of NRO employees are defense and security contractors working for the military-
industrial-intelligence complex: “With an estimated $8 billion annual budget, the largest in the
IC, contractors control about $7 billion worth of business at the NRO, giving the spy satellite
industry the distinction of being the most privatized part of the Intelligence Community.” 11
The career of Donald Kerr, Jr. is an excellent example of the NRO overlap of intelligence
with physics. Thanks to his Cornell University BSEE in 1963, MS in Microwave Electronics in
1964, and Ph.D. in plasma physics in 1966, Kerr became director of the Los Alamos National
Laboratory (1979–1985), then deputy director of Science and Technology at the Central
Intelligence Agency (2001–2005), director of the NRO (July 2005–October 2007), and deputy
DNI (July 11, 2007 to 2009). In fact, plasma physicist intelligence officer Kerr took the helm of
the NRO just in time for Hurricanes Dennis (July 8, 2005, Category 4), Emily (July 14, 2005,
Category 4), Irene (August 12, 2005, Category 3), Katrina (August 29, 2005, Category 5), and
Rita (September 20, 2005, Category 5).

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) (2003) develops imagery and map-
based intelligence (IMINT) and is horizontally integrated with the NSA, one being the eyes, the
other being the ears. The NGA employs 15,400 people, many working in its four-football-fields-
