Over the weekend, many of us watched in horror as record-breaking floods swept through Texas, leaving families shattered and entire communities reeling from the destruction.
My heart goes out to everyone affected by this tragedy.
In the aftermath, something curious began to happen across major news outlets. Did you notice the sudden flurry of interviews and articles about a company called Rainmaker—an outfit specializing in weather modification technology known as “cloud seeding?”
It turns out that just days before the torrential downpours, Rainmaker had been actively seeding clouds over the region. If you remember, the same practice recently made headlines in Dubai, where, prior to the massive flooding, authorities proudly claimed responsibility for inducing artificial rainfall to combat drought.
Of course after the floods, they downplayed the ability of their geoengineering to cause any meaningful amount of rainfall.
Of course.
Look, I don’t claim to have all the answers, and I definitely don’t know enough about weather modification and geoengineering to be able to have a strong opinion on whether it had any impact in Texas or Dubai, but what I do know is that there is a pattern here that I recognize.
For many people, this is the first time they’ve heard that weather modification is not only real, but happening right now in places around the world. Maybe even in the skies above them right now. Only a few short weeks ago, if you dared to mention cloud seeding—or any other form of geoengineering—you’d be labeled a conspiracy theorist.
But now that mainstream news is talking about it as if it’s always just been common knowledge, people are accepting it as if it's always been the norm.
And this is the pattern we’ve seen again and again.
An idea gets ridiculed and dismissed as paranoid nonsense…until the very people denying it turn around and normalize it as if it were never controversial at all.
It’s a story as old as modern propaganda itself, and one that we thought was important enough to write a book about.
In The Tuttle Twins Guide to True Conspiracies, we explore how this dynamic has played out for decades—from the CIA’s mind control programs to Operation Popeye, when the U.S. government used weather modification to flood the Ho Chi Minh trail during the Vietnam War.
Think about that: even during the 1960s, governments were weaponizing the weather to pursue their objectives. Yet somehow, most people continue to scoff when they hear that something similar could be happening now. They’re conditioned to believe whatever those in power say—until the story shifts, and the same institutions start admitting (or even celebrating) what they denied for years.
If there’s one lesson here, it’s this: so many so-called conspiracies aren’t theories at all. They’re simply truths waiting to be acknowledged.
That’s why it’s so important to teach our kids to question the official narrative, look for evidence, and think for themselves. The independence of thought they develop today will be the armor they need tomorrow, when headlines change and yesterday’s “misinformation” becomes today’s fact.
And since today is the final day of our Independence Day Sale, it’s the perfect time to pick up our one-of-a-kind history books and curriculum. Because one of the best defenses against propaganda is having a worldview solidly rooted in true history.
