Haarp can be used to trigger rain,earthquakes and Tsunami's....as a matter of fact a treaty was signed by some nations not to use weather as a weapons of war,mind you Katrina was triggered by Haarp

jp philips:

silver dioxide is too toxic to be toiled with and when mixed will rain water will cause Ag poisoning, pls confirm if JB is using silver iodide or the dioxide, if anyone wants to learn the art of rain making he should go pay school fees.
it is Silver Iodide or chloride (silver Halides: AgHalides) that causes Nucleation of water molecule to make rain.

The process of 'rain making or holding' as circumstances may demand is an acknowledged 'art' practiced by mankind from yore & passed down from one generation to another. In Africa today with the infusion of western education alongside christian & Islaimic tenets/religion into our cultural lives/mores, its practice is near extinct, derided and ascribed to the mythicsm of 'juju'. Whilst in other climes, the rain~making art & its procedures have not only been documented but also further improved upon

Inik: Its juju, there's no scientific proof.
Is it also juju that road construction companies uses to hold back the rain? if it has no scientific proof?

Okija juju: Hahahahahahaaaaaa cheesy




The ways of the gods, are not the ways of man.. Everything on the surface of the earth can be controlled by Man.



Genesis 1:26

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

jmoore: Yes it is scientific, same applies to rainmakers.
Most of the things done in africa are scientific but hidden under the guise of juju.
i know about scientific rain making but not rain holding. Furthermore i 'll like to say though, many magic tricks are either scientifical or have a scientific version not all are scientific. Also there many coincidences have been erroneously tagged as magic. Beware

Its called iha mmiri in igbo. Dere are people who r responsible for making rain fall or hold d rain from falling. I remember wen I was in secondary school and the president as at den. Obasanjo was coming 2 umuahia and I heard dere was a battle between rainmakers in umuahia. One party was trying 2 make rain fall while d other was trying 2 hold d rain from falling. It was funny as I watched rain fall and stop continously.
