[15] From Weather as a Force Multiplier: A pilot program (Project Popeye) conducted in 1966 attempted to extend the monsoon season in order to increase the amount of mud on the Ho Chi Minh trail thereby reducing enemy movements. A silver iodide nuclei agent was dispersed from WC-130, F4 and A-1E aircraft into the clouds over portions of the trail winding from North Vietnam through Laos and Cambodia into South Vietnam. Positive results during this initial program led to continued operations from 1967 to 1972. E. M.

[125] Some of the governments currently supported by MPRI programs to “ develop and enhance peace operations and humanitarian assistance capabilities among selected African armies” -- and defend, for example, oil infrastructure – include Columbia, Equatorial Guinea, Croatia and Nigeria, while MPRI has (in the past, at the very least, and possibly today) provided raw military force and violence in such places as Angola, Sri Lanka and Burma. MPRI maintains a computer database of some 7000 retired military personnel with specialized skills available on short notice. MPRI also assisted with the US supported invasions of Rwanda in 1994, Zaire in 1996, and then Congo (formerly Zaire) in 1998. MPRI’s support for the government of Equatorial Guinea helps to shield the ruthlessness and brutality that has occurred in gross violation of Guineans’ basic human rights over the past few decades.

[283] In Perverse Subsidies, Dr. Norman Myers and Jennifer Kent estimate that the average American taxpayer shells out at least $2,500 a year to fund government support for destructive projects in fossil fuels, road transportation, agriculture, water and fisheries. Then the same taxpayer turns around and spends another $2,500 to fix the environmental problems those payments produce and to pay higher prices for consumer products.
