Underdog & Weather Modification 1963 (Truth in Cartoons Lies in the News)

Video Transcript:

Everything is perfect, we believe. Our top top scientists assure us that we will have beautiful weather for the next 12 hours. Oh! It's a huge storm! But this is impossible. Our scientists promised us good weather and they're never off. Eh! Ha ha ha ha! Look what happens to the world. When I use my weather machine, I push the key for rain and it pours. Watch this. Simon Says, Tornado Twins! At least 89 are dead in Joplin, Missouri after a tornado cuts through the heart of the city. Rescue crews still searching for trap survivors. 2,000 buildings have been damaged or destroyed. The tornado touching down around dinner time last night. And it left a path of destruction a half to 3 quarters mile wide. Witnesses spoke of vehicles being picked up and thrown into homes and parts of the city now unrecognizable. Disregion everyone with hurricanes and tornadoes unless they do what I ask! Heh heh heh! You are in our clutches! Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Will someone come to sweep Polly's rescue? Will someone stop Simon Bar sinister and using his weather machine against the earth? That was only a very small test in my weather machine. Wait until you see the next one! Heh heh heh heh! Simon Says, Lightning! I also pad over 30 to 100 lightning strikes just in the last hour and a few hours. In soon I shall be the first to control the world! Hurry Cad, set up my weather machine! Weather machine! What does he mean by that? Did you soon see what my weather machine can do? I will soon be taking over your earth! Heh heh heh! Hurricane Sandy crashing on shore, winds now at 90 miles per hour and this storm is so big, so vast! I shall rule the world! I'm not raging! It is chaos along the Jersey Shore, the super storm battering the barrier island in the crosshairs Atlantic City. Now the top secret government project! One of the most dangerous projects the United States government has ever attempted. When aimed at the sky, it can change the weather. With a billion watts, you easily move a cloud wherever you want it to move it using hard. When aimed at the ground, it can set off earthquakes and tsunamis. Earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, all at once! I shall rule the world! Take a wild ride to the Arctic Tundra and confront the ultimate conspiracy weapon. Part the real life, Doomsday Machine! It's an outbreak! The gates to what could be the most dangerous weapon the world has ever seen. To this place where the US military is blasting the skies with millions of watts of energy. A place with the innocent name of fun. We can stop you, no matter what kind of machine you have. Will his weather machine work? Will he be able to force the Earth to surrender? I warn you that unless you do just as I ask, I shall cause weather which will wipe you out. You're only trying to frighten us, Simon Barth's sinister. We don't believe in your machine. No, then allow me to demonstrate for you. Simon says, rain! He really did it! So the river in St. Louis will be 40 feet higher than it was at the start of the year. Just complete weather whiplash for a lot of folks here. Unless you want hurricanes, earthquakes, and floods all at once. I command you to surrender to me. I would press every key on my weather machine and destroy the Earth. I did come down the heart of the city. 25 to 30% of this city was severely, severely damaged. So, you know, there are storms in the forecast. There are more storms in the forecast. And I think life was only a very small test in my weather machine. Weather machine? What does he mean by that? Wait until you see the next one. In the crosshairs, Atlantic City. Simon says tornado twist! We've got another storm system brewing. Jerry Smith is an author. He writes about the military's desire to harness the weather and use it as a weapon of mass destruction. What I have for you is one of the most dangerous projects the United States government has ever attempted. It's going on live in our atmosphere and the general public are still blissfully unaware of it. Harp. High frequency, active, auroral research program. You are in our clutches. It is a field of antennas on the ground in Southeast and Alaska, so linked together as to work as one giant antenna. It's 360 antennas. Each can generate 10,000 watts. 3.6 million watts, collectively. The largest legal AM radio station in the US is only 50,000 watts. But they're not broadcasting out. They're broadcasting up. When Harp is fired up, all those antennas shoot powerful radio waves into the ionosphere, the upper most part of the atmosphere. They literally heat it. They create irregularities that allow the ionosphere to bounce powerful radio signals back to Earth. Simon says lightning! Big oil companies develop the Harp technology, but when the US government realized its wider potential, it bought up all the plans. By the time work began in 1993, Harp was in the hands of the military. Jerry Smith says those hands turned the tool into a weapon. The Harp array seems to be based on a set of patents for a ground-based our words weapon system. It may be good to have violent Reagan's field destroy incoming missiles and things of that nature if they're fired at it. Exactly. This same set of patents also describes how it could be used to manipulate the weather over North America. Missile defense and weather control. The weather manipulation is all too plausible. Simon, say recent events like the Indonesians in Nali and Hurricane Katrina. Just over the ridge. The Americans interview. 180 towers spread out over 35 acres. This is Harp. What do you think? You have Ethiopia. No rain. Let's bring rain to Ethiopia. You have too much rain flooding in one place. It looks perturb the jet stream and see if we can halt whatever the weather cycle is occurring. The military saw the potential and bought up the plans. I mean you could wage wars and nobody would ever know it. Weather machine? What does he mean by that?
