The Idea that the Yakuza created Katrina as some sort of revenge plot for the bombing of Hiroshima is one of the craziest I have come across.

Even theoritically plans for weather manipulation require massive amounts of energy like 10% of the entire US energy output. To think a mafia like the Yakuza could manage such a feat is

Yakuza activities consist of mainly merchandising, loan sharking and or management of gambling houses

Well if I were the Yakuza wanting revenge for Hiroshima I'd have dropped a few nuclear bombs on all the major US cities. So much easier and cheaper

My guess is that the chinese and the russians had something to do with the births of the latest storms .

My guess is they don't.

Hurricans are caused -- if you want to get back to root causes -- by a combination of temperature deltas on the surface of the earth (both sea and land); and the coriolis effect.

My guess is that there is technology that can magnify storms and earthquakes. I met people talking about these events in advance of them happening.

So the question being more that" if you know in advance then you must have control" Be them revenge acts or population control there pretty evil doings. If you havn't noticed it always seem to be the world's poorest places that are getting hit..

Cloud seeding would work on hurricanes in the same way a swimming pool pump could empty Lake Michigan......

The original hypothesis is that if you get enough rain or cool air into a hurricane you can diminish its velocity and strength.

Hurricanes get their strength from sea surface temperatures. And are basically one giant rainmaking machine. So I don't quite know what he's getting at here.....

First off, excellant analogy!

Secondly, that's exactly correct. What would really need to do would be to put giant refridgeration units below the surface of the entire Atlantic hurricane region to keep the waters too cold for hurricanes to form. But how realistic is that!

Not To HAARP On The Topic, But...

Somehow, I think the Yakuza are more interested in what happens in Japan than the Gulf of Mexico. After all, business is business.

A more credible hypothesis (in my opinion) involves HAARP or a HAARP-like analog being used to channel energy into weather systems, or to create earthquakes or other "natural" disasters.

Whether this is happening or not, I certainly don't know.

But I consider it a possibility, and am always keeping an eye open for clues.

There's something going on.

Well, you're the expert.
However, I wonder why people would venture into cloud seeding if it wouldn't work at all, invest tens of thousands of dollars in useless airplane modifications for no reason. And I also wonder why the US army used this cloud seeding in Vietnam.
I myself am not sure if this would actually work. The best way to see if it does or doesn't would be to actually test it on a hurricane.
