SL would be celebrating another expensive and sadly hollow Independence Day tomorrow, February 4^th, with great pomp and pageantry. The celebration at Independence Square in Colombo would be held despite the geo-engineered Weather disaster Ditwah, which devastated the country less than three months ago, killing more than 600 people. Many more lost homes and livelihoods.

The Ditwah Twister storms late last year dealt a massive blow to Sri Lanka’s economy and society. It was not as deadly as the 2004 Asia Earthquake and Tsunami Disaster that killed 30,000 people in Sri Lanka and displaced hundreds of thousands. 200,000 died in Aceh, Sumatra Island, Indonesia during the Christmas Tsunami of 2004.

Is it because the International Monetary Fund’s Managing Director Kristalina Geogieva is due in geostrategic Sri Lanka at the center of the Indian Ocean world hit by strange weather disasters, that the National Peoples Power government of President Anura Kumara Dissanayaka seems as pleased as punch, and all but forgotten the Ditwah Tragedy for a grand Independence celebration?

In any event, it may be appropriate share a recent Open Letter to the United Nations Development Program Representative in Sri Lanka, Ms. Azusa Kubota on the problem of Geoengineering, weather warfare, and Anthropocene climate disasters that impoverish Global South countries, with the IMF’s Kristalina Geogieva at this time.

The letter below calls on the UNDP to urgently set up a Research Program to study and investigate the hostile use of plausibly deniable” environmental modification technologies and Geoengineering as part of Hybrid Economic Warfare in the Indian Ocean region including in Sri Lanka and other islands, particularly Sumatra, Indonesia.

Particularly relevant to such a research investigation would be recent un-natural Monsoon-related climate Disasters across the Indian Ocean world, reminiscent of Operation Popeye during the Vietnam War and the Environmental Modification or ENMOD treaty.

This is in light of the fact that weather disasters seem to be the new face of hybrid economic warfare and Disaster Capitalism in the Global South: That is the delivery of plausibly deniable” Exogenous Economic Shocks to Make the Economy Scream” and impoverish emerging economies by the crashing Euro-American Empire as de-dollarization gathers force in the Asian Century.

Pumping and Dumping Emerging Economies with Shocks: Manipulating Data and Metrics

Ever since Sri Lanka was ‘upgraded’ by the World Bank to an Upper Middle Income Country (MIC) in 2019, the Island has faced mysterious Exogenous Economic shocks. This, after a 10-year period of calm and economic growth between May 2009 (when the Armed Conflict ended) and 2019, when the geostrategic island was hit by the mysterious ISIS claimed Easter Sunday bombings of luxury hotels, Churches and Chinese scientists, 4 of whom died at the Kingsbury Hotel. After the Easter attacks the joint  Indian Ocean marine research project between the Chinese academic and Sri Lanka’s National Aquatic Research Agency (NARA) was aborted, and the Chinese research vessel Shi Yan-3 left the Colombo Harbour.

The 2019 Easter attacks and security lockdowns were followed by a series of other mysterious exogenous economic shock: the Covid-19 Lockdowns in 2020-21, during which the economy crashed and people were impoverished and National institutions, data, and oversight systems were debilitated.

Then in 2022 the Gen-Z Araglaya protests for regime change and staged Sovereign Default transpired. This was amidst a blockade of oil and gas reaching Sri Lanka while the US Navy ironically conducted a Sea Vision Training program” in the Seas of Sri Lanka (much like Cuba and Venezuela today). This enabled the IMF to come to Sri Lanka’s rescue and upend economic sovereignty and Policy Autonomy.

The current IMF Extended Fund Facility program for a bailout of predatory hedge funds like BlackRock and their secret unnamed EuroBond holders has deepen the USD debt trap that Sri Lanka was pumped and dumped into by the World Bank Upgrade to an Upper MIC Debt trap in 2019.

Meanwhile, The IMF’s mission and mandate creep into Sri Lanka’s Domestic Debt Restructure under the EFF has significantly deepened Sri Lanka’s US dollar debt trap to impoverish the country and reverse its Upper Middle Income Country Status.

The Shock Doctrine to Making the Economy Scream: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism

MICs are NOT eligible for concessionary loans when disasters strike since concessionary loans are reserved for Less Developed Countries (LDC). Hence MICs and Emerging economies like Sri Lanka appear to be PUMPMED AND DUMPED INTO AN MIC Trap, being forced to borrow from private capital markets at predatory interest rates, and kept impoverished by the manipulation of metrics and data?

Indeed, since 2019 there appears to be a systematic pattern of Exogenous Economic Shocks or Staged disasters like ISIS Terror attacks, Covid-19 Panicdemic Lockdowns, Gen-Z protests for Regime Change, in order to to reverse economic development and growth, debt trap Global South countries like Sri Lanka and erode economic sovereignty and policy autonomy.

 Is it an accident that after the Covid-19 Lockdowns Shock Doctrine, 56 countries were in or near Default and forced to go to the IMF which upends National Economic and Policy Sovereignty of debt trapped Global South Countries?

The Environmental Risk Premium Business

Staged Disasters also send up RISK PREMIUMS and borrowing costs as well as insurance premiums, once again benefiting the Creditor Club of the OECD Colonial Club de Paris and the Eurobond financial gravy train.

Increasingly, Environmental Disasters Risk Premiums are a growth sector along with Green and Blue Bonds and scams at this time in the financial industry. As we know Debt-for-Nature-Swaps or Environmental, Social and Governance Bonds are based on the Financiaization, Monetization and commodification of Mother Nature’s largess in Global South countries, including marine, forest and mineral wealth, with dubious and spurious AI based Net Zero Carbon credit calculations

It is in light of this apparent Environmental Disaster Narratives-linked gravy train of  international corruption in the Global Financial system that it would be appropriate for BOTH the United Nations and  IMF to undertake a research study and investigation on the use of Environmental Modification Technologies, weather warfare, Climate disasters, mass impoverishment in the Global South and the relevance of the ENMOD Treaty. Such an investigation would need to include analysis of criminal intent into the Global Climate Crisis narrative, green and blue bonds and scams, and the hostile use of Geoengineering and Environmental Modification to stage Climate Disasters, impoverish people and debt trap Global South countries.

Please see below an Open Letter to the UNDP Resident Representative in Sri Lanka.

Dear Ms. Kubota,

It was good to meet you at the Open University CEPA meeting yesterday.

Given yesterday’s discussion on disasters and environmentalism, I’d like to share a recent piece at the link below that may be of interest to you and your colleagues: From the 2004 Christmas Tsunami to Twister Ditwah: Weather Warfare Escalates in the Indian Ocean as Russia Enters?

From the 2004 Christmas Tsunami to Twister Ditwah: Weather Warfare escalates in the Indian Ocean as Russia Enters?

At this time, I would suggest that the UNDP URGENTLY set up a research program to study recent weather disasters and the relevance of the ENMOD Treaty. Recent environment disasters seem designed to deliver Exogenous Economic Shocks that stymie economic growth, and de-develop, and impoverish countries in the Indian Ocean World at this time despite the rise of the Asian 21st Century.

As Fabian Derulle has argued “Natural Disasters are not all natural”. Please see this link. https://journaljgeesi.com/index.php/JGEESI/article/view/727

Based on an extensive research and literature review in a research paper, Deurlle states in the Journal of Geography, Environment and Earth Science”: “In conclusion, the use of military climatic and environmental modification technologies appears to be the most relevant explanation to understand the increase in natural disasters over the last 20 years.” 

What used to be deemed ‘development-induced disasters’ now get clubbed under Anthropocene epoch “climate change” / global warming environmental disasters with a lot of Media Hype. However, to my knowledge we are still in the Holocene.

There No mention of Geoengineering, weather warfare and the use of weather modification technologies in the “Climate Disaster” narrative promoted by the United Nations even though we have the ENMOD treaty or the Environmental Modification Treaty on the hostile use of weather modification technologies dating back to the use of Rainmaker Cloud seeding technology to extend monsoons and to flood the Ho Chi Minh trail during the Vietnam War in the 1970s. 

The ignorance and elision about the ENMOD treaty is one of the reasons for growing skepticism about the UN’s CoP summits and the Environmental Climate Disaster narrative, which increasingly seems to be part of the so-called “global polycrisis”, a psychological operation to spread fear and promote Global Governance under the Rubric of the “Climate Emergency”. 

The UN’s Climate Emergency” narrative which serves many Corporate interests, particularly Green Tech. and Green and blue bond finance, ironically upends the UN’s own Core Principle of National Sovereignty, and Policy Autonomy of countries, while attenuating local development priorities and needs in countries in the Global South — in the name of the CLIMATE EMERGENCY. 

The “climate emergency” is much like the “Covid-19 Emergency” narrative and fear psychosis whereby the whole world was Locked down, as Emergency-authorized injections were forced on people, and economies destroyed by the World Health Organization (WHO), and Big Pharmaceutical Companies which profited from promoting the Covid-19 EMERGENCY.

Thankfully, the United States under President Trump has exited the WHO and Paris Climate Accords and Green New Deal to financialize and Commoditize Mother Nature with dubious AI generated, Net Zero jargon and Carbon Credit calculations in order to market green, blue, ESG bondscams to countries that have been debt-trapped in Eurobond and IMF odious debt spiderwebs.

Debt for Nature Swaps or ESG bonds increasingly serve to Greenwash the world’s biggest vulture funds, including BlackRock’s Bond scams, and enable further Debt trapping of Global South countries, now  in the name of Environment Conservation. Is this not the new Disaster Capitalism, marketed by the UNDP with a Green environmentalist mask that needs to be exposed? 

There is a long history of biowarfare and chemical warfare that is also relevant to geoengineering and weather warfare (including the generation of earthquakes and Tsunamis in the Bikini Atoll back in the 1950s with nuclear and hydrogen bomb tests, as part of Hybrid Economic Warfare that the climate disaster narrative masks. 

The Use of Weather as a Force Multiplier in Kinetic and Cyber operation is detailed in this US Defense Department Report “Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025” : https://dn720709.ca.archive.org/0/items/WeatherAsAForceMultiplier/WeatherAsAForceMultiplier.pdf

Indeed, it seems that environment related events are on a continuum of Anthropogenic crisis brought about by unplanned urban and rural development to staged disasters that are geoengineered with weather modification technologies as part of HYBRID ECONOMIC WARFARE and Green DISASTER CAPITALISM in the world of increased hybrid economic warfare where weather modification is used as a “force multiplier” or to stage kinetic ‘disasters’ that de-develop and impoverish countries. 

Would be interested to know your thoughts on this matter as the climate disaster and poverty narrative is being promoted by CEPA to echo the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterrez’s ‘Climate Boiling’ narrative amid over-generalized claims of the Anthropocene climate crisis, which never mentions the Military Business Industrial Complex/War Machine that is the single largest environmental threat to the planet. As you know the United States as over 750 environment polluting military bases around the world.

In the context, I’d like to share with you an important article that links these analyses published at my Substack: https://drdarini.substack.com/p/safeguarding-the-planet-from-environmental

Please feel free to share with your colleagues at the UN.

Finally, suggest that Naomi Klein’s book “The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism” which has a chapter on Sri Lanka after the 2004 Christmas Earthquake and Tsunami Disaster in the Indian Ocean world and the Degrowth debates in an interesting book: The Geopolitics of Green Colonialism, published last year at Pluto Press, may be of interest to you and your colleague, Kanni Wignaraja at UNDP.

Kanni was a year junior to me in high school at Ladies’ College in Colombo and at Princeton University where I did my doctorate in Anthropology and she did a Master’s Degree in public policy. I would be happy to debate her on the subject of the Faux Anthropocene and Green Blue ESG Sustainability Bonds and scams that the UNDP is promoting at this time! 

Once again, suggest that the UNDP perhaps in partnership with the World Bank and IMF urgently set up a research program on the relevance of the ENMOD treaty to apparent weather disasters that stymie economic growth and development and enable Disaster Capitalism in the Indian Ocean World at this time of hybrid economic warfare by the crashing Euro-American Empire.

The opportunity costs to Real Development priorities and needs, including research and education, in terms of diverted funds, time and energy resources as per the UN’s Green Hoax and related Disaster preparedness agenda in the name of the Davos/WEF mantra ‘Build Back Better’ (BBB), for Global South countries is incalculable. Indeed, it is a crime.

Kind regards,

Dr. Darini Rajasingham
