The Lithium Reserves belong to the People of West North Carolina
Introduction
This outstanding analysis by Greg Reese was first published on GR on October 8, 2024. Greg Reese’s text and video below document the history of Environmental Modification Techniques (ENMOD) applied to Hurricanes as well as the issue of Lithium Production in West North Carolina Asheville.
Reese confirms that last year:
“the Department of Defense entered a ninety-million-dollar agreement with Albemarle Corporation to increase domestic production of lithium for the nation’s battery supply chain. Specifically, from Kings Mountain, North Carolina starting by 2025″
In Part I we feature Greg Reese’s text and video. In Part II, we focus on the Tragic Aftermath of Hurricane Helene
Part I
How to Steer Hurricanes, Flood Homes, and Steal Lithium
by Greg Reese
We have had the technology to create, control, and steer hurricanes for decades.
“Project Cirrus is the first Official attempt to modify a hurricane. It was run by General Electric with the support of the US military. The official theory was that by changing the temperature outside the eye-wall of a hurricane, which they did by seeding the clouds with various compounds such as silver iodide, a decrease in strong winds will result.
On October 13, 1947, Project Cirrus targeted a hurricane heading out to sea. Approximately 180 pounds of dry ice was dropped into the clouds. The crew then reported a “pronounced modification of the cloud deck”. And the hurricane abruptly changed direction and made landfall near Savannah, Georgia. The public blamed the government.
Irving Langmuir, who pioneered General Electric’s atmospheric research department, and admired that the project was about learning how to weaponize the weather, also claimed the reversal of the hurricane had been caused by the project, but the government denied it for twelve years.
After a short delay, the project officially continued. And in 1965, Project Stormfury had targeted Hurricane Betsy for seeding. On that day the storm immediately changed direction and made landfall in Southern Florida. Congress blamed it on Project Stormfury but the government claimed that the hurricane changed direction before they ever had a chance to seed it. And after two months of Congressional hearings, the project was allowed to continue.”

In 1997, U.S. Defense Secretary William Cohen admitted we have the technology to control the weather, including earthquakes and volcanoes. The U.S. government has placed gag orders on employees of the national weather service.
In October of 2012, after Hurricane Sandy weakened to a tropical storm, microwave imagery shows a thick red beam immediately followed by Sandy growing into a category 1 hurricane and taking an unexplained “left Turn” into New Jersey.
The push towards alternative energy demands more lithium. And according to the U.S. Geological Survey, the United States has over 6 million tons of identified lithium resources. The majority of this lithium has been identified in Kings Mountain, North Carolina. Kings Mountain is believed to have one of the largest resources in the world. But the biggest problem is that people live there. And they don’t want their quiet towns turned into lithium mines.
“People in Cherryville have been pushing against a proposed lithium mine for the last several years, but everyone we spoke with here said it’s too divisive of an issue to share their opinion on camera. Cherryville is a small, quiet town.”
~ Local news reporter
“I think it’s good that we keep it small.”
~ Anonymous resident
“So quiet, many don’t feel comfortable speaking out against Piedmont Lithium’s proposed mining operation nearby.”
~ Local news reporter
“I think we’re a silent majority. I think a lot of people are afraid to say anything about it because they are bringing a lot to the town as far as money.”
~ Anonymous resident
Last year, the Department of Defense entered a ninety-million-dollar agreement with Albemarle Corporation to increase domestic production of lithium for the nation’s battery supply chain. Specifically, from Kings Mountain, North Carolina starting by 2025.
This is the same area experiencing what is being described as biblical floods.
While the Federal government spends billions on foreign wars and illegal immigrants, they simply can not be bothered with the health and well-being of the American people. Especially those living on coveted mineral rich land.
Part II
West North Carolina’s Tragic Aftermath
by Michel Chossudovsky
.
Confirmed by independent and social media reports, the devastation in West North Carolina is beyond description.
Amply documented, there is abuse and neglect by FEMA. This is denied by the mainstream media and the governor of North Carolina who accuses social media reports as “mis-information”.
Jordan Chariton interviewed Amanda Campbell, a resident of Forest City, North Carolina—which is about an hour from Asheville— about the devastation she witnessed in Asheville as a result of Hurricane Helene.
Campbell also criticized inaction and lack of support from FEMA in helping desperate Asheville residents who are trapped and/or desperately waiting for help.
Dead Bodies Piling Up. FEMA and the Federal government are not doing enough. “They Left and Never Came Back. The people are Helping the People”
“Around us the damage is incredible. They are stranded, they are not getting help. There are so many dead bodies, I cannot describe how bad it is.
FEMA is there. They were there. But the did nothing. People are helping people.
They watch their neighbours die. There are people who are still trapped.”

4. North Carolina Governor’s Press Conference
Polittical divisions are unfolding within the government of North Carolina. See the video on Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson below
September 29, 2024. Press Conference.
“11 people in our state have died” as announced by the Governor provides a biased picture of what is happening.
The testimony of Amanda Campbell (above), published two days prior the Press Conference dispels several of Governor Roy Cooper’s statements.
5. Lieutenant Gov Mark Robinson Expresses His Concern
Confirms the nature and seriousness of the disaster. Mark Robinson is committed to Build Back

6. Mark Robinson‘s Reaction to Gov. Roy Cooper’s Press Conference
Who’s involved in misinformation?
Roy Cooper accuses Lt. Gov Robinson of “misinformation” and incompetence. Mark Robinson states that the Governor has repeatedly failed.
***
In recent developments the Governor of North Carolina Roy Cooper (October 19, 2024, the date of this interview is not confirmed) in an interview with a journalist stated the following:
“We have plans for local governments. You know in some areas, you just shouldn’t build back. And we’ve been able to convince certain communities and people that buyouts are better.”.
7. Gov. Roy Cooper. Rebuilding. “Buyouts are Better”
.
8. Citizens of West North Carolina. Do Not Give In! You Own the Land and You Own the Underground Lithium
“The US has 6 million tons of identified lithium resources. The majority of this lithium has been identified in Kings Mountain, North Carolina. Kings Mountain is believed to have one of the largest resources in the world.” (Greg Reese)
Citizens of Western North Carolina are currently in despair in the wake of Hurricane Helena. They own that land. Beneath that land are billions of dollars worth of reserves of lithium.
As long as they hold on to their land acting together with their fellow citizens, the inhabitants of Western North Carolina are the owners of the underground lithium reserves.
They are also entitled to rebuild their communities with the support of the Federal government.
And as long as they do not give in to political pressures, they are entitled to claim extensive royalties from the Lithium conglomerates. This is a project –which requires cohesive and honest actions by the City and District Councils in support of the citizens of West North Carolina,
Who are the Big Money actors behind the Lithium Project?
Two companies, Piedmont Lithium and Albemarle Corp, are behind the lithium project.
And Guess who controls these two lithium companies: The giant portfolio companies: BlackRock and Vanguard. (see Peter Koenig)
“Black Rock just signed a $90M contract for lithium in town hardest hit by hurricane”…
And Another Guess What: Bombshell
Douglas Emhoff’, The Future? First First Gentleman, Husband of Vice President Kamala Harris has “Financial Ties to Piedmont Lithium”
Douglas Emhoff, Kamala Harris’s husband, (image right) has been involved in high-stakes corporate law for decades, but it’s his investments that are now drawing attention. Emhoff has financial ties to companies like Piedmont Lithium, a fact that should concern all Americans.
While his wife advocates for clean energy initiatives, pushing policies that increase domestic mining, Emhoff’s investments in lithium extraction companies position him to profit handsomely from these policies.

A note on Environmental Modification Techniques.
There is no fool proof evidence that ENMOD techniques were used to trigger the disaster in West North Carolina.
There is however evidence that ENMOD techniques are fully operational.
Gregg Reese essentially refers to cloud seeding technologies.
The more advanced electromagnetic technologies used to modify the weather have been fully operative since the mid-1990s. This is confirmed by official documents of the U.S Air Force.

ANNEX
Video: Cherryville City Council ETJ Relinquishment
On Monday May 8th, 2023 the Cherryville NC City Council officially agrees to the ETJ Relinquishment giving the Gaston County Government control over what happens on Cherryville’s land in regards to Piedmont Lithium.
Watch to hear from citizens, the city council, and Piedmont Lithium on the matter.
Of relevance, that was in early May 2023, almost a year and a half prior to the Hurricane catastrophe.
