(2024 - 25) Ecuador mainstream media and 'The National Geographic' talks openly about 'Cloud Seeding

(2024) Ecuador mainstream media and 'The National Geographic' talks openly about 'Cloud Seeding with silver iodine' here in Ecuador, it can at times get out of hand and go array ⛈- a lil dabb will do yah✈️ There are several posts in this EED fb group about 'Cloud Seeding / Bombing' in the past 2-3 years- see here: (26APR24) WHAT IS CLOUD BOMBING? ECUADOR IS APPLYING THIS TECHNIQUE DUE TO ENERGY CRISIS (and seems to be really working well in the Cuenca-Mazar area)😳🌊💦💧☔️⛈

Ecuador is working on several solutions to face the energy crisis, which has caused blackouts from four to ten hours a day. One of them is cloud bombing. This was revealed by Roberto Luque, Minister of Energy in charge, this Friday, April 26, 2024.

Luque detailed, in an interview with Ecuavisa, that they are working with a rain stimulation program and, apparently, it is giving very good results. The Minister of Energy in charge avoided giving further details, but affirmed that it has a low cost.

“We have been stimulating clouds since Wednesday (April 24, 2024) with certain tests. I don't have the details because we are looking at how to improve. I will give the details in the future when it is prudent,” Luque said.

The announcement is made in the midst of the energy crisis, caused by the lack of rainfall and problems in the hydroelectric power plants. Therefore, it was expected that with the rains of the last days the reservoirs would increase their level and the distribution of energy would improve.

In view of this situation, several solutions have been proposed, such as barges, but now cloud bombardment, used in countries such as Mexico, Dubai or Saudi Arabia, is also being considered to mitigate the low water levels of the coming months. It was also used in Ecuador in 1992 during the government of Sixto Durán Ballén.

How cloud seeding works-

Cloud seeding is a weather manipulation with the objective of causing rain or snow. It was first employed in Massachusetts, USA, by Vincent Joseph Schaefer and his team in the 1940s.

This technique should not be applied to just any cloud, as they must select those that contain water below zero degrees Celsius. In this way, the moisture is condensed into droplets, according to National Geographic.

Moreover, the results will vary depending on the conditions. Therefore, experts emphasize that the right type of clouds and appropriate temperature and wind scenarios are required. For which meteorological studies of cloud humidity, wind speed and others are required.

Cloud seeding consists of the release of silver iodide through drones, airplanes and even rockets with the objective of creating more water droplets or the vapor condensation necessary to cause precipitation.

Manuel Mustieles Ibarra, creator of the chemical solution called 'RainMaker', detailed to Expansión Política how the silver iodide works, which when in contact with a humid environment crystallizes and encourages rain to fall.

“The airplanes are loaded with silver iodide and with a sprinkler we spray the solution to the clouds, it is like when we apply spray to the hair. It is a great advantage because there is no fire, no explosions, what we have is a completely stable, colorless and environmentally friendly liquid,” says Mustieles Ibarra."

12MAR25 The Ecuador Report by 'JJinEcu'

 11MAR25- a_politik0 / A-POLITICO - Following, 'DE ESCALOFRIOS CONTUNDENTE REVELACIONES EL DIA DE HOY... #ecuador🇪🇨 #informacion #justicia #teleamazonas #ecuavisa #nadieestaseguro - Motivacional Conquistas - Bruno Purificação - https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMBY1CJx3/ 📺Audio of video translated:📟 "He is showing on the computer all the years the first individual was arrested: 20, 22, 22, 22, 24 and he is free. This one kills this one and when he killed him, he also killed 3 more. This one here on 19, 21, 21, 22 even though he was caught with 2 fire arms, his innocence was ratified.

[Since he is not giving names and just pointing, I am using letter for them from now on] "A" kills "B" and B's gang kills A's family and 5 people are killed. Among those 5 is A's brother, who had been arrested in 2024 for drug trafficking. "C", because he was B's gang bodyguard kills A and he was arrested in 2024 for trafficking and in 2022 for drugs. Only in this case there are 9 people dead for someone who should not have been free. He (A) was detonated the problem but they (pointing at the rest) should have been in prison.

So like this one, we have numerous cases with situations that develop. 4 dead. 5 dead. The effective job of the police is to capture all of them. We capture them. We put them in the hands of the justice system. With evidence and everything. All of them free. And they end up being criminals, but also victims of murder. And if they are not victims of murder, they are the one doing the killing. For us to process a person, we take a whole day. While we get to the audience [court] and in an hour it says freed."😤

Yes now going into our 8th year in same spot and time slot- Mardi Gras in New Orleans, also known as Carnival in Ecuador, has been in full swing since Jan. 6 and will close with a grand, final celebration on March 4, better known as Fat Tuesday.

"Originating from French traditions, the annual carnival celebration that began in Louisiana during the 1700s has transformed into a month-long event. The festivities include parades throughout the historic French Quarter, as revelers eat king cakes and toss green, purple, and gold beads into the crowd.

Mardi Gras, which began as a religious holiday, has become a weeks-long celebration, one that gives millions the opportunity to let loose and over-indulge before Lent, a 40-day season of prayer and fasting observed by Christians...", - https://www.usatoday.com/.../fat-tuesday.../78216632007/
