Have there and are there on-going local cloud seeding and hail suppression efforts...yes. They have been going on for years and years. The North Dakota Air Resource Board has been in place for many years to help reduce the chance for hail in t-storms in western ND. They only attempt in the summer and to suppress hail. I know some Univ of North Dakota students and pilots participate in that.....UND is located in Grand Forks and UND has a very well known aviation flight school.

But are contrails in the sky airlines spraying chemicals....nope.

And that will put this to an end. Nothing I will say on this will convince you otherwise. But boy I sure do wish we had that much power to alter storms or create weather. I would have five feet of snow in Grand Forks each winter and below zero (F) temps all the time....but since that doesnt occur we have to rely on mother nature to determine it.

Have a good evening...

Well ... then I reinstate my comment that I don't believe you ... because anyone with common sense can look into the skies and see that certain aircraft are spraying aerosols that have nothing to do with contrails. At the same time we have government officials and government funded climate scientists telling us that they are developing and field testing geoengineering aerosols that are released from high flying aircraft as part of the geoengineering scheme that they claim must start very soon to combat global warming. They even claim this geoengineering scheme know as Solar Radiation Management (SRM) and Stratospheric Sulfate Aerosols (SAG) will alter the weather patterns. They even tell us that these aerosols are non-dissipating trails that will expand and form artificial clouds that block sunlight, similar to what a Volcano eruption does, that will help reduce global warming.

This is what our own top climate scientists are telling us and you are going to continue to push the chemtrail conspiracy theory line?

So this action is illegal per the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act of 2012.

All that WPEA 2013 required was that the nondisclosure policy (aka "gag order") not apply to internal reporting of violations and that it carry this statement:

"These provisions are consistent with and do not supersede, conflict with, or otherwise alter the employee obligations, rights, or liabilities created by existing statute or Executive order relating to (1) classified information, (2) communications to Congress, (3) the reporting to an Inspector General of a violation of any law, rule, or regulation, or mismanagement, a gross waste of funds, an abuse of authority, or a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety, or (4) any other whistleblower protection. The definitions, requirements, obligations, rights, sanctions, and liabilities created by controlling Executive orders and statutory provisions are incorporated into this agreement and are controlling."

That is the only provision in WPEA 2013 (full text: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/112/s743/text) concerning gag orders, so how did this make these actions illegal?

Because it is not just a government weather monitoring and reporting agency. It is also the military navigation agency (in combination with NGA) for the federal government.

1. a non disclosure agreement is not a gag order

A non-disclosure agreement (NDA), also known as a confidentiality agreement (CA), confidential disclosure agreement (CDA), proprietary information agreement (PIA), or secrecy agreement (SA), is a legal contract between at least two parties that outlines confidential material, knowledge, or information that the parties wish to share with one another for certain purposes, but wish to restrict access to or by third parties. It is a contract through which the parties agree not to disclose information covered by the agreement. An NDA creates a confidential relationship between the parties to protect any type of confidential and proprietary information or trade secrets.

It's a covenant not to complete.
