Weather Trading Derivatives, The Epitome Of Disaster Capitalism

"Weather trading derivatives" are nothing more than a disaster based gambling casino run by the same global powers that are in many ways orchestrating the disasters in the first place. Weather "forecasts" are now the scheduled weather, major "forecasting" organizations are also owned by the power elite. "Weather risk management"  is the term for the industry that is thriving from the rapidly increasing occurrences of weather disasters. A mission statement from one of the disaster capitalist companies is below.

Derivatives

The weather can generate substantial economic losses. It is essential to take such risk seriously.

Adverse developments in temperature, precipitation, wind, or other weather variables can result in losses for a multitude of companies and state entities. Risks derived from weather moves, independently of whether they are of a extreme or moderate nature, constitute an extended and permanent threat to a country´s productive capacity. Fortunately, these days there exist financial solutions that can provide efficient cover.

Bolsas y Mercados Españoles (BME), through its BME Clima project, endeavours to assist those entities with economic exposures to the weather. The goal is to offer information, data, and specialized advice that can help clients gain awareness as to their exposures, analyze the historical and current behavior of the relevant variables, as well as understand the solutions available in the weather risk management markets.

The weather is possibly the most extended risk within the business community. Unlike other sources of risk, such as interest rates or currencies, weather risk can be inevitable.

"Global catastrophe reinsurance" industry is growing exponentially along with the exponential increase in "natural" (engineered) disasters.

As temperatures tumble in North America, weather derivatives warm up.

The completely engineered cool-down of the eastern US in the last two years has made fortunes for weather derivatives trading. The engineered drought in the US West has done the same.

One of the more arcane financial innovations quietly continues to change and grow. Unusual atmospheric patterns don't hurt.

Many have concluded that financial profit is the primary motive behind the ongoing climate engineering insanity, the true reality is exponentially larger, more complicated, and much more dire. From the methane release planetary emergency unfolding in the Arctic, to collapsing marine ecosystems, to the dying of forests around the globe, there are many layers to the immense challenges we face and geoengineering is connected to them all. In addition to all of this,  the highly toxic climate engineering fallout is literally contaminating the entire planet and all living organisms on it. There will never be a shortage of those that are willing to profit from misery and destruction, but their "gains" will be short lived. Like pirates filling their pockets with loot while the entire ship goes down, the disaster capitalists will soon be forced to face the consequences of what they have so willingly participated in. We who are awake must combine our efforts to expose and halt the insanity while there is yet some part of the planet's life support systems left to salvage. DW

  4. Some good informed comments by readers of this page. Some persons will question how military operations are funded by international banking and "trade" agreements. Here's how corporate/capitalism holds everyone in bondage to the insanity of planned eco-destruction:

    Park Avenue: money, power and the American dream

    740 Park Avenue in New York city, is home to the wealthiest and most influential group of power brokers the world has ever known. Yet most Americans continue to believe they're living in a democratic utopia.

    Private property rights? Human rights? Access to health care? A survivable wage? Education? America is all about freedom and justice for all – who can afford it.

    • Thanks Dane, you have great courage. From now on I will only support your efforts, as all other issues take a back seat to the unfolding disaster awaiting us. I'm sure you're well prepared for the onslaught of kookery charges headed your way, if you haven't been marginalized already. 

  5. Thank you, as always, Dane, for these most informative updates. I am sharing this with Russ Tanner's website OrbisVitae.com.

    PRESS ON! We must not ever stop with our exposing these harmful crimes being committed by our governing authorities. Their day of accounting will come…… Unfortunately, their ignorance is causing all the severe weather conditions, and sicknesses. Thank you, Dane. God Bless You!  PRESS ON!

    Seems like everything means profit/ money .Risks for them seem to not exist or seem to be worthfull.I wonder what the consequences of more actions Like  This one .I saw this link on Ameg facebook page:

    http://www.energy.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/legislation?ID=8e8b0faf-cf79-47b1-b05b-b7c9dfe161d3

    The curiosity killed the cat …or playing with fire ?

    • Bella_Fantasia says:

      Thank you, Ana, for that link.  That's from Lisa Murkowski, US Senator from Alaska, who seems perfectly willing to play with fire. 

      Imagine the absurdity of collecting methane (somehow?) in order to burn it again as fuel?  Only a fools would think they could keep a lid on it. 

      I'm sitting here imagining what will happen when Shell actually punctures sea floor.  I'm imagining methane from the clathrates and hydrates will spontaneously combust from the drilling machinery on the rig. 

      I hope it will be the swan song for Arctic drilling.

      Ana, your excellent comments and photos are always appreciated : )

    • Ana says:

      I agree with you Bella Fantasia about this law .
      your comments and links are also appreciated! Your kind words to me were the best that happened to me today! You’ve made my day!  Thank you  a lot Bella Fantasia!…Was good to come here again  to read this article from DW to show it to my sister!

    Yet another one of the many ways the monetary markets are against the general populations of all countries.  I found an interesting video while searching TX flood films on youtube.  A recording under the caption "Flood waters Burleson Texas May 2015 shows 2 small rotations in a swollen body of water.  One, the suction is counter clockwise, the Second one the water is suctioning down clockwise.  This is proof our magnetic fields are disturbed.  Water does not drain clockwise in this part of the hemisphere.  What's up with this?   Anybody out there notice anything like this in your neck of the world?   Stay safe

    As Ralph Ely says, in the end times I'm sure they will pay. What good do all the riches of this world bring when in the process one sells their soul to evil. I'm having a hard time in posting with this Captcha Code stuff. Something or someone I think is interfering, my computer is upgraded and updated??? Here in the Southwest, New Mexico our rain clouds got decimated again yesterday and sent up North towards Albuquerque or further up?!

      Thanks a million Andrew from Scotland!! One of the most cogent overview's I have ever read. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO ALL WHO VISIT HERE!!

    To put an end to Climate Engineering, the people of the World MUST tear down the Rothschild’s global power structure.

    Their power started with the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 which gave the Rothschild's private ownership of America’s banking and money supply. Now, the entire money supply which they privately print, is all being paid back to the Rothschilds with compounding interest all the time. Almost all countries worldwide have this same big problem, since almost all have a Rothschilds owned Central Bank. Now, the Rothschilds power is being reinforced by the TPP. Further, the Rothschilds want to rule globally using a World Currency.

    Rothschild privately owned Central Banking is where they are getting the money for the Genocide they are deploying.

    Climate Engineering, Vaccines, GMO, Fluoride in the water, pharmaceuticals, economic crashes, and full control of the media and bribery of the government are how they are implementing the Genocide.

    Central Banking is the root cause of this atrocity and must be abolished, all countries must create SOVEREIGN currencies and public national banks to end the Genocide.

    The stock market itself is fundamentally immoral; it exists chiefly to extract wealth from the less-rich and give it to the obscenely rich.  I've never understood the desire to have more than one needs (so Thomas Hobbes was at least partly wrong), let alone the desire to have more money than one needs.  All this greed in our consumption-driven world, which I believe is more programmed than natural, is going to have to be overcome, replaced by empathy and mutual support and the desire to see others (not just humans, but all living things) flourish, if we are to overcome the problems that face us now.

    When I was a child, I used to lie outside under our maple tree and stare for hours at the beautiful pattern the leaves made against the (then) clear blue sky.  At about 8 or 10 years old, I started wondering about "beyond the sky" and trying to imagine infinity.  That was the beginning of my awareness that everything in the universe really is interconnected (helped by reading books about Native Americans and their respect for the web of life). 

    Now kids lie in bed and stare at a tiny, 2-dimensional facsimile of the world, and even if they do go out, they can't see beyond the sky any more.  It's going to take some work, convincing the younger generation that the web of life is theirs, too.

    The sad truth is that masses of people allow the few to wreak havoc by being complicit. If people were in their senses and if they had any respect for life, they would have long ago been crying out against the insane destruction. But instead, they consume themselves into a sick stupor and then whine for more. 

    • Milla says:

      I get annoyed as you about the complicity of the sheeple, but the anger is misplaced in some respects because the sheeple, particularly the US sheeple, are actually controlled by trauma-based fear, mind control through advertising and programming of all sorts, including religions and culture itself. (Culture is operating programming and it basically runs on male-dominant competition for status, territory and if you explore it deeply enough, you will find patriarchy is a culture of death.)

      Under these terms, of course, the people react as sheeple, having been materially herded off the land (patriarchy has roots in pastoralism) into constant stress and want. 

      I am not excusing the sheeple, they are a profound disappointment, but the power of programming is at this point too much for the many. Doesn't matter. We only need about a quarter of all people to wake up to make the changes we need. So let's not start blaming the victims all the time and put the blame where it needs to go

  12. Ralph Ely says:

    The Global Power Elite and their willing Accomplices, have violated so many Spiritual Laws, Moral Laws, Biological Laws and Man-made Laws in their quest for World Domination, it would be almost impossible for a Judicial indictment to be brought against them, considering the size and scope of those violations.  I submit that indictment and final judgment will have to be left to their creator.        (I trust he will show no mercy in the end.)

    Those trying to profit from Humanities suffering, as a result of GeoEngineering and the other Power/Control programs, are forgetting what is taught in Biblical writings and Academic text.  In simple terms it is that "every living creature, all living plant life, the water, the air and the whole of the planet is all interconnected and dependent on each other."

    I remember a science teacher putting it this way, "All of creation is like a bunch of dominos, standing on end, and all in a straight line.  If one falls they all fall."  (That man was Mr. McCormick, 8th grade)

    Most of us were taught these Natural Truths in Church Sunday School and had a firm grasp of them from our School Teachers by 8th Grade graduation.

    It is a sad commentary however to note that none of these Truths appear to be emphasized or taught in most of today's Religious or Educational Institutions.

    The dummying down in our Halls of Learning and lack of Spiritual Leadership has shredded our "Mental Ozone Layer" and allowed the "Toxicity of Greed" to deplete our character of Honesty and Honor, much in the same way GeoEngineering is shredding "Earths Protective Ozone Layer."

    A lot going on, from what I read lake mead dropped more than a foot in 24 hour. If this can be verified thru a official source, then this is huge just huge. Especially in connection with geoengineering and the artificial Californian drought. Who can confirm this?

    • SD says:

      It will certainly be interesting to see how real estate values respond to the drought situation in CA, NV and AZ. Lake Mead's water elevation chart has been trending towards zero for over ten years now.  And yes, I also saw that report about quake damage/ sinkhole, but suspect an equipment error.

  14. Marc says:

    Folks, we would be naive if we actually thought anything such as morals or ethics governs the behavior of these groveling devotees of the quick buck. I promise you these sick f***s don't give a rat's ass about whatever harm their actions contribute to planetary meltdown. That said, I am afraid we have an extreme problem on our hands because essentially what we have are compulsive gamblers here with a serious, out-of-control addiction. The scheme is so vast, so intricate and so impenetrable that I actually don't hold out any hope whatsoever for a way to stop it, short of apocalypse. This vast, gnarly creature is very much like unto a cancer, hell bent on multiplying itself until it destroys the ability of it's host to live and thrive. At which time it discovers, "Gee, oh-oh, I think I f****d up." 

    Sorry if I sound hopeless but I cannot indulge in false hope in the face of such monstrous dysfunction, nor will I close in on myself, assume a fetal position and wait for the end. I am really trying to retain a glimmer of "something" that will pull me through to the next day. But we are losing (have lost) our once beautiful skies, which every human on earth, whether they admit it or not, innately adores. We are all so naturally connected to the weather, because this is a fundamental and sublimely beautiful part of human experience, as it has been since before we were humans. People will still talk about the weather in the form of "small talk", before they talk about anything else. Every day, I mean EVERY DAY, I wake up and look outside to see what kind of skies we have, perhaps in the vain hope that this nightmare will have ended. But alas, the horror movie always continues, albeit with apparent ebbs and flows but the bottom line always returns to remind us that we are, IN ACTUAL FACT, being subjected to massive and deadly aerosol disbursement. And all for what???!!!? To fight global warming? Bullshit! Any academic argument that contends we "must consider geoengineering" to save ourselves from warming is a smokescreen being laid down by insidious elements of the cabal or just simple maligned reasoning. 

    When the full realization dawns that the entire planet has become a casino for the wealthy and the priveleged, thanks to geoengineering's power to rip and shred and twist and deluge and burn, why, then, we discover a profound truth about ourselves. We discover that the human species is sore in need of "evolution", not in the biological or anthropological sense, but in the region of the HEART, where love of Self, love of Earth, and love of one another find expression.

    Clearly the Genocide has begun, all funded by the World Central Banking Oligarchy, namely the Rothschilds. Stop using the money supply they printed and actually own, since this entire money supply is constantly being repaid back to them, and funding the Genocide.

    Use barter, or BitCoin.

    Americans should team up and just quit their jobs, thereby halting the government, and forcing them to stop banking with the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank or using a World Currency which the World Central Banking Oligarchs will also control, and to force Congress to print a SOVEREIGN currency and create a National Bank.

    Thank you, Dane and colleagues, your work is outstanding and your tireless efforts greatly appreciated! 

    As the dots continue to connect in this global mass ecocide and prodigious crime against humanity the world will ever see, we piece together the evolution of corporate greed and destruction of our natural world. 

    Weather Derivatives are big business and the Koch Bros were one of the first pioneers of it, along with now defunct corporate criminal entity Enron, found guilty on multiple conspiracy and fraud charges.

    According to the Weather Risk Management Association (WRMA), weather is an "industry", a "commodity". The following quote is from their history section:

    In 1997 three transactions involving Willis, Koch Industries, and Enron marked the beginning of a new way of managing weather risk.

    As we know, the climate denial machine is funded by big oil, Koch Bros, but what people may not be aware of is that Koch Bros also profit from metals, aluminum, aluminum alloys, etc.  Koch Supply and Trading Energy Derivatives Brochure  The dots continue to connect.

      Nice connection. But a bigger one is that the US military depends on aerosol for its EMF wars. Earthquake generation, targeted floods and droughts. So Cock brothers and other useless "traders" profit, but who is the #1 culprit? US Military.

  17. Jeremy m says:

    Hello Dane just like after 911 we all saw a strange stock sell off in airlines before the event, we are sure to see more of this crap in the near future with our weather. Many thanks , the sky is blue for a change!

    Ps. What is with this round green ball on the radar today?
