Well, this is pretty wild folks… Those crazy conspiracy theorists are at it again, but can you blame them? First they told us they can’t control the weather. Now they admit “yes we can, but only in small areas” and they call it cloud seeding. Now news has come out that “cloud seeding operations” took place in Texas just two days before the recent floods, but you’re obviously a conspiracy theorists if you draw any connection between those events: BREAKING: CEO of a weather modification technology company has confirmed that cloud seeding operations took place in Texas just two days before the flood occurred, says it does not mean they are connected. — Leading Report (@LeadingReport) July 8, 2025 Gee, I really do miss the old days back in 2024 when everyone told me chemtails and cloud-seeding were not real! Whatever happened to all of that? Now we’re just admitting it’s real? Apparently so, according to “Rainmaker” CEO August Dorko — errrr, sorry…..Augustus Doricko, the 25-year old CEO of cloud-seeding company Rainmaker. Check this out: This man, Augustus Doricko, admits that his company Rainmaker controls the weather nation-wide. He talks about how you could weaponize it, and explains that China has invested hundreds of millions of dollars into weather control technology. He even says Rainmaker shouldn’t be… pic.twitter.com/deahGmsl5l — Nitz (@NickWalshNitz) July 6, 2025 And while he tells us true weather control and weather attacks are not real, he also seems to suggest we cannot cede “not real” control of these weapons to China: He says it a little before 6 minutes: pic.twitter.com/mukqnwhYYK — Nitz (@NickWalshNitz) July 8, 2025 Sorry man, which is it? They’re not real or we can’t possibly let China have them? Here’s more, from Bloomberg: According to Doricko, Rainmaker flew a brief 20-minute cloud seeding mission in south-central Texas last Tuesday, but suspended all operations that same day due to abnormally high moisture content in the air. The two clouds seeded during the Tuesday flight would have dissipated after a few hours and would have had no effect on the floods several days later, he added. Cloud seeding involves using chemicals, often particles of silver iodide, to trigger the formation of ice crystals or droplets from water that’s already present in a cloud but not being efficiently turned into rain. Though the technique has been studied for decades, it remains difficult to predict the additional rainfall that cloud seeding operations can generate, with estimates ranging widely from 0% to 20%. What’s clear is that the technique would not have been able to generate the record-breaking rainfall seen in Texas. So much rain fell that the Guadalupe River at Kerrville, one of the epicenters of the floods, rose some 26 feet (8 meters) in less than an hour overnight on Friday. “Based on the meteorological evidence, the Texas floods were caused by a powerful natural weather system, with thunderstorms fed by very moist air from the warm Gulf of Mexico,” said Andrew Charlton-Perez, professor of meteorology at the University of Reading in the UK. Here he is with Steve Bannon, judge his credibility for yourself: Augustus Doricko, CEO of “Rainmaker” a cloud seeding company, discusses the Texas floods.His largest project produced 10 million gallons of rain and states that he sees no evidence that cloud seeding caused this catastrophic flooding.

Cloud Seeding Company Involved: A company called Rainmaker Weather Technologies had been contracted by local water districts for cloud seeding—a weather modification method that aims to increase rainfall by dispersing substances into the air. Conspiracy Theories Spread: After the floods, conspiracy theorists began blaming cloud seeding for causing or intensifying the storms, alleging weather manipulation or geoengineering. CEO Speaks Out: David Stooksbury, CEO of Rainmaker, publicly denied the accusations, explaining that cloud seeding cannot create storms and only enhances existing clouds by a small percentage. Scientific Consensus: Meteorologists and atmospheric scientists strongly reject the idea that cloud seeding can produce such extreme weather, calling the accusations scientifically unfounded. Media Misinformation: Social media posts, videos, and influencers amplified false claims, including accusations that cloud seeding was being used for depopulation or warfare. Rainmaker’s Role Misunderstood: The company clarified it only works with permission from local agencies to augment rain during droughts and operates under strict regulations. State Officials Reaffirm Safety: Texas authorities and fact-checkers reiterated that cloud seeding has been safely practiced in the state for decades and had nothing to do with the May floods. Distrust of Government & Science: The surge in conspiracy theories reflects a broader trend of public skepticism toward official explanations, fueled by past government secrecy and distrust in media. No Link to Trump Administration: There is no connection between the Trump administration and the flooding or the cloud seeding programs mentioned in these reports.
