Control the Weather, Control the Money… Control the World?

Carlton Preston
Posted Mar 28, 2026

Something isn’t adding up.

The weather feels more extreme. The explanations feel thinner. And the more you look, the more questions you find.

At the same time, food prices are rising, energy costs are volatile, global tensions are increasing and yet we’re told everything is “under control.”

Maybe.

But what if the bigger story isn’t about any one issue?

What if it’s about control itself?

The Sky Above Us

Look up.

Most days, I do.

And what I see are long white streaks stretching across the sky. Some say they’re just contrails...normal jet exhaust. Others say they’re something more.

The divide is real.

Some people never question it. Others can’t stop.

Years ago, somewhere between 2005 and 2008, I attended a gathering in Hollywood, California that stayed with me. I met G. Edward Griffin, author of "The Creature From Jekyll Island," an expose of the Federal Reserve system and in the same room was music producer Quincy Jones.

That night, a documentary on atmospheric spraying, what many call “chemtrails,” was shown.

Not as entertainment.

As something serious.

And it left me with a question I’ve never been able to fully answer:

If something is being dispersed into the atmosphere on a large scale… how do the people doing it avoid the consequences themselves?

Same air. Same water. Same planet.

No easy answers.

One name that continues to surface in this discussion is Dane Wigington, who has spent years studying geoengineering and weather modification. His work suggests that large-scale atmospheric intervention may already be underway, with consequences we don’t yet fully understand.

You don’t have to agree with all of it.

But you should at least ask:

What if even part of it is true?

This Idea Didn’t Start Yesterday

The idea of controlling the weather isn’t new.

As far back as the late 1950s and early 1960s, political and military thinkers were already exploring its strategic value. Lyndon B. Johnson reportedly spoke about the power tied to weather control.

Think about that.

Control rainfall… you influence agriculture.
Control storms… you affect infrastructure.
Control climate… you influence economies.

That’s not fringe thinking.

That’s leverage.

Now Add Money to the Equation

Here’s where things get more interesting and more uncomfortable.

The same mindset shows up in the financial system.

Central banks create money out of nothing. Interest rates are manipulated. Markets are stabilized until they aren’t.

Over the past fifty years, this system has produced enormous wealth, especially at the top.

That didn’t happen by accident.

It happened within a structure designed to influence outcomes.

Once again, the same theme appears:

Control.

Control the money.
Control the markets.
Control the outcome.

Weather, Money, and Power: The Same Game

At first glance, weather, money, and geopolitics seem unrelated.

They’re not.

Control the weather, and you influence food production.
Control food production, and you influence populations.

Control the money supply, and you influence economies.
Control economies, and you influence nations.

Now combine them.

That’s not just influence.

That’s system-level power.

And when that kind of power concentrates, the effects ripple globally.

A drought here.
A flood from atmospheric rivers.
Energy instability in one region.
Agricultural pressure in another.

Whether natural or influenced, the outcome is the same:

Power shifts, and someone benefits.

When Food Becomes Unaffordable

There’s another layer most people are missing.

Energy drives everything.

When energy prices rise, fertilizer costs rise. When fertilizer costs rise, food production drops—or prices increase. When food prices increase, pressure builds across entire societies.

We’re already seeing the early stages of this.

And history is very clear on what follows.

When food becomes expensive, people struggle.
When it becomes scarce, systems strain.

What’s interesting is that this dynamic was described long before modern economics.

Revelation 6:5–6 (KJV) says:

“And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
And I heard a voice… A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny…”

In plain terms:

Food priced at a level most people can barely afford.

The “balances” suggest a measured distribution. The pricing suggests scarcity tied to labor.

Sound familiar?

Now connect it to today:

-   rising energy costs
-   fertilizer constraints
-   fragile supply chains
-   geopolitical stress around grain and fuel

It doesn’t take much imagination to see where this leads.

When Disasters Raise More Questions Than Answers

Now consider the growing number of devastating fires in recent years.

From Malibu and Pacific Palisades to Altadena and even the catastrophic fires in Hawaii, the scale of destruction has been hard to ignore.

The official explanations point to familiar causes: dry conditions, high winds, and infrastructure failures.

And in many cases, those explanations may be valid.

But for many observers, certain details raise additional questions.

There have been reports during some events of fire hydrants running dry at critical moments, limiting response efforts. Others have pointed to unusual patterns in damage where some structures are destroyed while others nearby remain standing.

Public leadership has also come under scrutiny. During key moments surrounding major fire events, Karen Bass was reported to be outside the country, raising questions about coordination and crisis response.

Even public figures have expressed skepticism. Mel Gibson, speaking after losing his own property, suggested that some aspects of these events did not appear entirely straightforward.

Now, whether one agrees with these concerns or not is not the central issue.

What matters is this:

People are asking more questions and trusting less.

The Pattern Most People Miss

Step back far enough, and a pattern begins to emerge.

Control the sky.
Control the money.
Control the food.

At that point, you’re not just influencing the world.

You’re shaping it.

But history carries a warning.

Every time systems become too centralized…
too engineered…
too controlled…

They eventually break.

Not because of politics.

Because complexity doesn’t cooperate with total control.

The Question That Matters

So here’s the real question:

What happens when the systems designed to control everything… stop working?

Because we may be closer to that moment than most people think.

Multiple systems are under pressure at once:

-   financial systems strained by debt
-   geopolitical tensions rising
-   supply chains showing cracks
-   environmental patterns are becoming less predictable

Individually manageable.

Together?

Something else entirely.

Final Thought

You don’t have to accept every theory.

You don’t have to jump to conclusions.

But you should ask better questions.

Because when people stop questioning power…
Power expands.

And when power expands without limits…
History tends to repeat itself.

The only question is:

Are we paying attention this time?
