Ben Livingston, a former Navy physicist, sits down with Prison Planet.tv to argue that the US government has controlled the weather for decades and chose not to use that power. Livingston recounts his 1966 assignment from the Naval Weapons Research Laboratory to a Marine fighter squadron in Vietnam, where his aircraft carried cloud-seeding equipment instead of guns, tasked with finding storms and maximizing their rainfall to slow enemy troop movement. He says he briefed President Lyndon Johnson on the program's effectiveness. The interview turns to Project Storm Fury, where Livingston says the Stanford Research Institute concluded the government already knew how to weaken hurricanes and would bear liability if one caused mass casualties. Having flown 265 missions into hurricane eyes himself, Livingston calls the failure to blunt Hurricane Katrina political rather than technical, and voices his anger on camera. The conversation closes on chemtrails, which Livingston frames as a continuation of the same covert weather program into the present day.
