Memos from 1965, under the Lyndon Baynes Johnson regime, noted that federal funding for the secret program was set to be four times higher in 1967 – the same year the US began spraying toxins over Vietnam to cause floods and landslides. 
While giving the commencement address at Southwest Texas State University in May 1962, then-Vice President Johnson said: 'He who controls the weather will control the world.' After LBJ became the 36th president, he went on to oversee two infamous projects designed to manipulate the weather – Project Stormfury and Project Popeye, which was used to artificially extend Vietnam's monsoon season in 1967.

The US government has maintained that weather modification has been used only to help weaken dangerous storms and induce rain in drought-stricken areas.

The highlighted are of the document reads, "Federal support for 1967 will be four times that for 1963 and over twice as large as that of 1965. The copy of the letter from President Johnson to the Secretary of Commerce shows that an expanding program has White House backing."

From the DailyMail:

Once top-secret CIA files have detailed America's plans to control the world by manipulating the weather. 

The documents, declassified in 2003, discussed the controversial topic of weather modification, the tactic of launching rockets or using planes to dump chemicals into the atmosphere that alter the climate and local storm systems. 

Although the resurfaced documents from 1965 did not mention the specific chemicals used in the experiments, they did discuss the need for more funding of the weather modification projects that would soon be used as a weapon of war.

In fact, the memos noted that federal funding for the secret program was set to be four times higher in 1967 – the same year the US began spraying toxins over Vietnam to cause floods and landslides.

One post on X claimed: 'The CIA has been poisoning the sky and controlling the weather since 1965!'

The 18-page report was recently shared by conspiracy theorists, years after it was quietly placed into the CIA's public archives, including a letter praising the classified operation from US President Lyndon B Johnson.

Johnson's endorsement of the CIA's weather modification project came just three years after he gave an ominous speech on the future of America and the work to create 'weather satellites' with the power to strengthen storms.
