Augustus Dorico, welcome to the show, man. Thanks, dude. So, weather manipulation is on everybody's mind right now, and you make it rain, so I thought this would be a fascinating interview to be able to talk to somebody that knows weather. Actually, what the hell's going on, hopefully. So, welcome.
Yeah, yes. Thank you. Something or other about it, right? I think about weather mod most minutes of most hours of most days awake or not. And it rained and snowed, actually. Snow we're even better at than rain right now. It's slightly easier. So, talk about the differences.
How much have you looked into, you know, the weather manipulation stuff? There's a lot of conspiracies out there on it.
Dude, I run a weather manipulation company. So on the one hand, I know a lot about the research that the United States is doing, that China is doing, that the Europeans are doing, that the Middle Easterners, Saudi and the Emirates are doing.
But then also I get letters in the mail about once or twice a week from guys that have just like totally lost their mind that say like, if you repeat this activation phrase, it will rain over you immediately because I've like typed it into the code of the ether. You know, someone that did like too much DMT or something.
So I've got the full spectrum of the actual science down to the most schizo theories and a lot of stuff in between. Nice.
Did you see the thing that just happened in Switzerland? Yeah. That glacier that...
Whatever happened, it just cracked off and completely buried that entire village. Yeah, it was like a town of 1,300 people or something, I think. That was a disaster. Is there suspicion that that was manipulated? Not yet, but I'm sure it's coming out. Yeah, yeah, probably. It's funny, actually. A lot of what we do right now in the Western US is snowpack enhancement.
So trying to prevent the glaciers from melting away, cracking, becoming unstable, and collapsing. What did you say? Snow melt? Snowpack enhancement. So making more snow.
