Weather Experiments & Flooding In NM

Rainfall augmentation projects regularly operate in an area devastated by floods

Ruidoso, New Mexico recently experienced catastrophic flooding from exceptionally heavy rainfall. This area is a frequent target of geo engineering experiments, and that is raising a lot of questions about potential connections.

A recent news clip:

Unfortunately, sloppy practices and a lack of transparency make it difficult to get straight answers.

The NM Interstate Stream Commission is charged with issuing weather modification licenses, and there’s a specific way they’re supposed to do this. However, the ISC regularly fails to comply with legal statutes.

A company out of Texas, Seeding Operations and Atmospheric Research, regularly conducts experiments in Eastern New Mexico.

In 2021, they applied for a weather modification license from the NM Interstate Stream Commission.

This is an excerpt from the lengthy application:

Notice, SOAR’s owner, Gary Walker, requested two exceptions to the regulations. He had failed to file 120 days in advance of the proposed start date, and he wanted to provide an insurance policy in lieu of the required surety bond. The exceptions were approved.

This is a description of the insurance coverage, which Walker provided with his application:

This policy appears to provide the bare minimum coverage for Walker and his pilots, but it’s wholly inadequate coverage for a large-scale event. This is not accidental; legislators thoughtfully exempted the State of New Mexico, the Interstate Stream Commission and Gary Walker himself from any liability for harm to the public.

This policy certainly wouldn’t touch the millions of dollars in property damage which Ruidoso has sustained, both this year and last. Wrongful death claims would likely exceed a million dollars each, and the economic loss is staggering.

If a connection is ever scientifically established between weather modification experiments and floods, the potential for litigation is mind-boggling.

Although New Mexico intended to protect itself from responsibility, they have failed to maintain the licensing process, and that creates an extra legal vulnerability, because it appears that SOAR, and others, are currently operating without licenses.

In early 2022, the last record of licensing available, SOAR usually flew out of Roswell, NM. This excerpt from the license application offers insight into how weather modification experiments work:

This is another excerpt from the license application, describing Walker’s experience, and the airplanes his company uses:

From the application, this is Walker’s description of cloud seeding boundaries and the type of chemicals used:

In July 2024, Ruidoso, which is located in Lincoln County, was struck by severe flooding. SOAR operated weather modification experiments there, in the same month.

This is an excerpt from the Rainfall Augmentation Report for 2024:

These are the flight reports for July 2024, notice Lincoln County was included, despite having just been severely flooded:

SOAR went back to Lincoln County in August 2024, too:

In 2024, SOAR flew out of Portales and Artesia:

Weather modification records for 2025 won’t be available before late in the fall. Until then, locals are left to speculate about the role weather modification experiments might have played in the floods which have devastated Ruidoso.

It’s difficult to trust the Interstate Stream Commission. A group of unpaid political appointees, they operate without oversight from outside their own department. According to records supplied by the ISC itself, they are not in compliance with weather modification licensing requirements.

The public is largely excluded from the decision-making process surrounding weather modification experiments. The legislation it operates under only allows one opportunity for public input, and that occurs during licensing.

Prior to issuing licenses, the ISC is required to run legal notices in regional newspapers, twice per area. There’s a two-week window for filing a public protest, which results in a hearing before the ISC.

Only one person has ever protested, and she withdrew her complaint before it was heard.

Now that licensing appears to have been halted altogether, the legal notices aren’t being published. This means that the public is no longer allowed to comment directly to the ISC. Their rules forbid it. Public commentary is only permitted by a person who formally protests.

The net result for New Mexicans is simple: a handful of political appointees are empowered to make potentially life-altering decisions for the entire state.

Have questions? You must be a conspiracy theorist who hates science and farmers. Worried about potential health risks? Grok and Google AI will sooth your fears with obvious lies. Want a chance to vote on weather modification laws? Too late, you got shut out decades ago.

Expected to put up and shut up, locals are growing increasingly angry and worried.

If weather modification is so safe and wonderful, why isn’t the public kept fully informed? Why aren’t the experiments widely announced and discussed? Why is the public kept at arm’s length?

While Ruidoso braces for more rain, SOAR and other weather modification companies continue to treat New Mexicans like lab rats. Walker and his cohorts are free to fill their pockets with public funds, without any fear of accountability.

Prayers for Ruidoso.
