See&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_heat_waves\">this<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2020, with the onset of the infamous UN Agenda 2030, the news and fake news about the heat, the man-made CO2-provoked climate-change\u201d reaches new heights. To press that point, forest fires are not just made by paid arsonists, but by military grade&nbsp;<strong>Directed Energy Weapons<\/strong>&nbsp;(DEW) and other means of&nbsp;<strong>Environmental Modifications (ENMOD) technologies.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is called geoengineering \u2013 and what we are witnessing today, in the last three years and even way before, is an outright war with highly sophisticated weaponized laser-directed electromagnetic energy. The energy is so strong, it blows up entire buildings on impact, with towers of flames, but it spares trees, blows up and burns cars, but not tires \u2013 and also boats on the sea, far from burning forests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is how the beautiful Hawaiian island, Maui, and her major city Lahaina was destroyed. For more on this \u2013 see further down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nre.navy.mil\/organization\/departments\/aviation-force-projection-and-integrated-defense\/aerospace-science-research-351\/directed-energy-weapons-cdew-and-high-energy-lasers#:~:text=Directed%20energy%20weapons%20(DEWs)%20are,or%20destroys%20an%20adversarial%20capability.\">Directed Energy Weapons are defined as electromagnetic systems capable of converting chemical or electrical energy&nbsp;<\/a>to radiated energy, then these energies are fired by laser beams with the speed of light on specific targets. DEWs&nbsp;can produce forces that range from deterrent, to damaging, to destructive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In parallel with these horrendous heat waves come typhoons, hurricanes and tsunami-like floodings around the world, especially but not exclusively, in the northern hemisphere. Most of them are also the result of geoengineering. Scandinavia was hit by deluge-like rains, causing floods throughout Norway and Denmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Extreme floodings were also experienced in Japan and northeastern China. Beijing registered almost simultaneously record heat waves, closely followed by extreme typhoon-caused torrential rains and consequential flooding. Natural? You bet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just a thought: The self-styled masters of the universe think linear. That is what their minds have been trained for. What if these weather and climate modifications they now carry out on specific \u2013 always more diverse \u2013 targets, develop their own dynamic, since they are not linear, but, yes, dynamic \u2013 and have long-lasting effects much different from those intended by the Globalist Cult? \u2013 Just saying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now while everybody screams climate-change, climate-change, climate-change\u201d, always referring to man-made CO2 emissions,&nbsp;<strong>on July 6, 2023, the Aviation Tracking System, Flightradar 24\u201d, registered a record number ever of civilian airplanes in the air \u2013 some 134,384 airplanes.&nbsp;<\/strong>This does not include military airplanes and other non-civilian flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flightradar24.com\/blog\/gaps-in-the-map-where-aircraft-arent-found-on-flightradar24\/\">this<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/direct-energy-weapons-create-forest-brush-fires\/5828967\/screen-shot-2023-08-15-at-4-24-25-pm\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screen-Shot-2023-08-15-at-4.24.25-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5828970\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Have you noticed, airlines put on your ticket or your flight reservation&nbsp;<strong>how many kilograms of CO2 your flight produces<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 and so far, mostly on a voluntary basis they suggest you pay for the global warming or climate change damage\u201d you cause. Nobody has been able to provide a clear answer what happens with this money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe the money helps compensating for the airlines\u2019 losses during the covid hoax, or it flows into budgets of governments. The same way traffic fines do. Speeding infractions are not reduced by the fines, nor are the numbers of civilian flights reduced by the CO2-emission charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you noticed, the media must have a restraining order not to speak about military CO2 emission, let alone war-emissions. Just imagine, CO2 emissions of the Ukraine war and other armed conflicts around the globe, dwarfs all civilian car and industrial CO2 emissions worldwide. But nobody talks about it. Very strange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Back to DEWs and other ENMOD technologies<\/em><\/strong>.
