The Thai story on rainmaking
[edit]There evidence is there showing that the US was definitely practicing cloudseeding since the 1940s. Royalists in Thailand push the idea that the king of Thailand at that time created it. The Thai story of it on wikipedia needs to be carefully reviewed so that there is no stolen honor. The king may have brought it to Thailand but he certainly didn't originate the ideas or technique. There are also questionable organizations which exist such as the Eureka Organization which seems to be some sort of an entity created to put a stamp on at least some obviously false truths people are pushing. That also should be looked into and supported better on wikipedia. Words can easily be twisted to rewrite history and facts here on wikipedia. Nations and people with ego problems seem to be doing it here with 'dictators' just becoming 'leaders' on a page. It's disturbing. For those interested in cloudseeding and this story about Thailand look into it. If you say something enough, the people will believe it and in Thailand many certainly do.
Another note that conflicts with the Thai version of truth is that the first success of rainmaking in Thailand corresponds with Operation Popeye during the Vietnam war which shows rainmaking was used and done right in the local area of Indochina starting in 1967 as a planned operation against the North Vietnamese and VietCong before Thailand even started its first attempt in 1969.

Prayer does nothing ...
[edit]... yet this article makes it sound like a factual thing:
