Obviously the EPA is a defunct agency and is receiving over 8.1 Billion $ per year to operate. This is an agency that needs to be dissolved. Any country paying dues and offering support to the UN and/or the WHO should cease and desist as these organizations are allowing the continued and aggressive use of the aerial spraying and the HAARP.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comBlogger67125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4589177009524441810.post-38678441840396139502017-08-12T10:27:00.000-07:002017-08-12T10:27:20.630-07:00Is There A Remedy for the "DEAF EAR" Syndrome?An Arizona Town Hall meeting of citizens with their Senator about the geoengineered toxification of their air, land, water, plants, and bodies appears to fall on nothing but deaf ears. Have you been officially stone-walled when you've needed to know more about the geoengineering military-ops taking place above your head? They came to understand that to get official response, they must:<br />
<br />
1. File claims of harm/damage with the appropriate state agency<br />
2. Carefully assemble then submit evidence to that agency<br />
3. Get organized and push that claim really hard<br />

Global climate engineering is completely disrupting Earth's natural
systems and contaminating the entire planet in the process (due to the
highly toxic heavy metal and chemical fallout from these programs).
Those in power (who control corporate media) are doing everything they
can to mask the severity of what is unfolding from the public's view for
as long as possible. The scenario of converging catastrophes we face
(environmental and human health impacts) is completely non-linear. The
rate of biosphere destruction and global die-off is accelerating at an
unimaginably exponential rate. Though there are countless forms of
anthropogenic damage to the biosphere and climate system, the ongoing
global climate intervention programs are the greatest and most immediate
overall threat we face short of nuclear cataclysm.<br />

<b><a href="http://www.wakingtimes.com/2016/04/07/nasa-confesses-to-dosing-americans-with-air-borne-lithium/" target="_blank">Waking Times</a></b><br />
<br />
<b> </b>There’s the official explanation for why NASA is spraying lithium, <b>a pharmaceutical drug most often used to treat people with manic depression or bi-polar disorder</b>,
into our ionosphere, and then there is the probable reason(s). It would
be easier to accept NASA’s official explanation if they were not so
secretive about everything they study and do in space – but one thing is
for certain – NASA’s own personnel have admitted that lithium, along
with other chemicals, are intentionally being placed into our
environment regularly. It is possible that many of NASA’s own employees
aren’t even aware of the true motivations for carrying out such a
project, ironically displaying the very behaviors that these
chemicals/pharmaceuticals are meant to instill.<br />
<br />
In the first bomb-shell video a NASA employee (<u><a href="mailto:Douglas.e.rowland@nasa.gov%29">Douglas.e.rowland@nasa.gov)</a></u> admits that lithium is being sprayed in the atmosphere, and says that it is “harmless to the environment.”<br />
<br />
Before I give you NASA’s official explanation of<b> why they are spraying psych-meds over hundreds of thousands of Americans,</b> I’d like to point you to some references so that you can do your own research, and discover that this is no <a href="http://www.wakingtimes.com/2014/06/16/fluoride-toxicity-longer-conspiracy-theory/" target="_blank">conspiracy theory</a>. It is very real, and there is ample scientific documentation to corroborate what I put forth here:<br />
A <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12656420">Pub Med abstract</a> titled, <i>Feasibility of Aerosol Vaccinations in Humans </i>discusses
how an increase in antigen volumes can be beneficial in aerosol
delivery of vaccines, and could be used in “developing countries and
disaster areas.” The abstract also admits that <b>several thousand human subjects have already been aerosol vaccinated with live attenuated measles and influenza A vaccines.</b>
The executive summary further states that aerosol vaccinations are
ideal for “large populations.” This has apparently been happening since
as early as 2003.<br />
Another discussion of aerosolized vaccinations can be found in <a href="http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1407417">The New England Journal of Medicine</a>. <i>A Randomized, Controlled Trial of Aerosolized Vaccines Against Measles</i> states that these vaccines were tested on children in India that were as young 9 months old.<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.who.int/immunization/sage/meetings/2012/november/3_MeaslesAerosolVaccineProject-report_SAGE.pdf">World Health Organization</a>
has been researching aerosol vaccines for years now, as have
“philanthropic” agencies which have clear aims to sterilize the
population. It is also worth noting that the pharmaceutical industry has
been <a href="http://healthimpactnews.com/2013/are-aerosol-vaccines-forced-upon-populations-via-plane-or-helicopter-the-wave-of-the-future/#sthash.TxmdIH5x.dpuf">absolved from any legal responsibility</a> for medicating the masses since they were awarded <a href="http://www.hrsa.gov/vaccinecompensation/index.html">legal protection from all lawsuits</a> by Congress in 1986. This law was challenged, but <a href="http://healthimpactnews.com/2011/commentary-and-background-on-us-supreme-court-decision-to-give-total-liability-shield-to-pharmaceutical-companies/">upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court</a> in 2011. Many powerful agencies are making sure that we “take our medicine.”
<br />
In fact, <b>many nations are participating in our unwitting, forced vaccination</b>,
and the dumping of any number of attenuated viruses, chemical
concoctions and other ‘chemtrails’ on our heads with dogged frequency.<br />
<br />
The Office of the Gene Technology Regulator (OGTR) considered giving a license application to PaxVax Australia (PaxVax) for the intentional release of a <a href="http://www.ogtr.gov.au/internet/ogtr/publishing.nsf/Content/dir126lic-toc~dir126lic-cond">GMO vaccine</a> consisting of live bacteria into the environment in Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia and Victoria. They planned to release cholera on their people.
<br />
According to the regulator, this <a href="http://www.wakingtimes.com/2015/09/08/the-public-continues-its-fight-against-gmo-giant-monsanto/" target="_blank">GMO</a> vaccine qualified as a limited and controlled release under section 50A of the <i>Gene Technology Act 2000</i>.<br />
Of course, we can’t ignore the USA. <a href="http://childstudycenter.yale.edu/news/article.aspx?id=2691">Michael Greenwood</a> wrote an article stating that:<br />
<blockquote>
“The incidence of human West Nile virus cases can be significantly reduced through <b>large–scale aerial spraying that targets adult mosquitoes</b>, according to research by the Yale School of Public Health and the California Department of Public Health.”</blockquote>
<i>So, hopefully we’ve established that this <b>IS</b> happening. But why?</i><br />
As more nations refuse <a href="http://www.wakingtimes.com/2013/08/16/7-reasons-why-genetically-modified-foods-will-never-be-labeled-and-why-it-wont-matter-in-the-future/" target="_blank">genetically modified food</a>, and refuse to drink <a href="http://www.wakingtimes.com/2015/09/15/doctors-list-50-reasons-why-you-must-stop-drinking-fluoridated-water-now/" target="_blank">fluoridated water</a>, which has been <a href="http://wakingscience.com/2016/02/fluoride-officially-classified-as-a-neurotoxin-in-worlds-most-prestigious-medical-journal/">named as a neurotoxin</a> by one of the world’s premiere medical journals, the power structure that desires a complicit population has to figure out a way to alter our neurochemistry.<br />

<br />
<b>Lithium alters how we think by changing the levels of serotonin and norepinephrine secreted by our endocrine system. Lithium strongly alters the brain system,</b> yet the NASA employee in the above video states that “it is not dangerous” and doesn’t harm the population. Even doctors who normally prescribe this medication for the mentally ill have said that it is dangerous because it is <a href="https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/09/130926103031.htm">hard to figure out proper dosing</a>. Surely, spraying copious amounts of lithium indiscriminately into the air via aerosols should be questioned – but here’s NASA’s official stance on this practice:
<br />
<blockquote>
<i>“The project is studying neutral and charged particles in the ionosphere and how each affects the way the other moves resulting in currents in the region. The variations matter because all of our communications and GPS satellites send signals through the ionosphere. A disturbed ionosphere translates to disturbed signals, so scientists want to know just what causes the ionosphere to behave in specific ways.” </i><i>(<a href="http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/sunearth/news/rockets-atmosphere_prt.htm"><i>NASA</i></a>)</i><i> </i></blockquote>
Meanwhile, should the over-medicated start to <i>actually</i> figure out what is being done to them, the <a href="http://chemtrailsmuststop.com/2015/10/government-gets-unusually-desperate-imposes-gag-orders-on-nws-and-noaa/">government has imposed gag orders</a> on the National Weather Service (NWS) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) who might easily refute the ridiculous claims of NASA.<br />
<br />
Notably, every single person who works for NASA, the NWS or NOAA are paid with tax payer dollars.<b> This means that we are paying to be medicated and poisoned.</b>
<br />
Here, to corroborate information being given by the NASA employee in the video, is the <a href="http://sites.wff.nasa.gov/code840/lithium.html">Code 8440 RMMO</a> which states the exact purpose of using Wallops Flight Facility to launch a rocket containing lithium thermite:<br />
<blockquote>
“<b>Purpose:</b> The primary purpose of this mission was to test the loading methods for lithium canisters to be flown on the upcoming Kudeki (Kwajalein, April 2013) and Pfaff (Wallops, June 2013) missions, and verify their functionality under sounding rocket launch and space flight conditions.<br />
<b>Rocket Type: </b>Two-stage Terrier MK70 Improved-Orion<br />
<b>Location:</b> Wallops Range<br />
<b>Launcher:</b> MRL<br />
<b>Date of Launch:</b> January 29, 2013<br />
<b>Time:</b> 17:50 EST<br />
<b>Experiment results:</b> Thermistor data looked nominal. Good report from airborne optical platform of recorded video and lithium clouds also visible by ground observation.’</blockquote>
We also learn from this specific call that <a href="http://stateofthenation2012.com/?p=23501">lithium has been dumped in our skies since 1970</a>. <b>If you wanted to medicate the masses to create mindless, slave-like prisoners who didn’t even know they were imprisoned, this is surely a good way to do it.</b> Spraying lithium into our skies, along with countless other bacteria, viruses, prions, parasites, fungi, carcinogens, toxins, hormone-altering drugs, anti-flora and anti-fauna, as well as gene-altering micro-dust is nothing more than bio-warfare against the world’s citizenry. You can <a href="http://ahrcanum.com/2012/03/27/chemtrails-released-by-nasa-rocket-launch/">call them chemtrails</a> or something else, the effect is the same.<br />
<blockquote>
<i>“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. …We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. <b>Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society</b>. …In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, <b>we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons</b>…<b>who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses</b>. <b>It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind</b>.” ~ <a href="http://www.wakingtimes.com/2016/03/25/he-was-the-father-of-modern-mind-control-propaganda-for-the-ruling-elite/" target="_blank">Edward L. Bernays</a>, Master Propagandist</i>

</div>
Thom Hartmann has written an article entitled “The Mainstream Media’s Criminal Climate Coverage.” Given what we know about global warming, he said, “it’s hard to see the mainstream media’s coverage – or lack thereof – of climate change as anything less than morally and ethically criminal.”<sup>2</sup> This is harsh criticism. Is it justified?<br />
<div align="CENTER" style="text-align: left;">
<b>1. America’s Climate Complacency</b></div>
A Washington Post story, reporting the results of a Pew Research poll in 2013, headlined its story, “Americans Are Less Worried about Climate Change than Almost Anyone Else.” In 2014, a poll of 20 wealthy countries found that America leads the world in climate denialism, with 52 percent of the U.S. population stating that climate change is a natural phenomenon (rather than being the result of burning fossil fuels) and denying that the world is headed for environmental disaster unless it quickly changes its habits.<sup>3</sup><br />
Why is the United States first in climate complacency? According to leading climate scientist James Hansen, there is in this country “a huge gap between the public’s understanding of the situation and the scientific understanding.”<sup>4</sup> But why does this gap exist in America?<br />
Physicist Joe Romm, who started the website Climate Progress, has written that, although “our scientific understanding of business-as-usual projections for global warming has changed dramatically,” the U.S. public largely “remain in the dark about just how dire the situation is. Why? Because the U.S. media is largely ignoring the story,” which Romm called “the story of the century, if not the millennium.”<sup>5</sup><br />
Romm is far from the only person to give this assessment. Eric Pooley, one of America’s leading journalists, offered a parable:<br />
<blockquote>
“Suppose our leading scientists discovered that a meteor, hurtling toward the earth, was set to strike later this century; the governments of the world had less than ten years to divert or destroy it. How would news organizations cover this story? Even in an era of financial distress, they would throw teams of reporters at it and give them the resources needed to follow it in extraordinary depth and detail. After all, the race to stop the meteor would be the story of the century.”</blockquote>
In Pooley’s parable, carbon-using humanity is the meteor, which is threatening to destroy civilization. This threat is, Pooley said, the “great story, of our time. But news organizations have not been treating it that way.”<sup>6</sup><br />
Likewise, Hartmann said: “The mainstream media is failing us when it comes to covering the story of the century.” Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ross Gelbspan said that the climate crisis is “undoubtedly the biggest story of this millennium.”And in her inimitable way, Rebecca Solnit wrote that people a century from now “will think the newspapers should have had a gigantic black box above the fold of the front page every day saying “Here are some stories about other things, BUT CLIMATE IS STILL THE BIGGEST STORY OF ALL.”<sup>7</sup><br />
However, granted that the U.S. media have not done a good job, is it fair to blame them for the fact that America has more climate denialists, and less concern about climate change, than other wealthy countries? After all, fossil-fuel companies, especially ExxonMobil and Koch Industries, have spent tens of millions of dollars to fund dozens of organizations, including the Tea Party, to make climate denialism appear to have arisen spontaneously from concerned citizens.<br />
However, according to journalist Mark Hertsgaard, the responsibility of the fossil-fuel companies does not lessen that of the media. “As a journalist,” he wrote, “it shames me that the [carbon] lobby could never have succeeded without the assistance of the media.”<sup>8</sup><br />
<div align="CENTER" style="text-align: left;">
<b>2. How the Mainstream Media Have Failed</b></div>
A central reason for the media’s failure involves the journalistic norm of “balanced” reporting. As one discussion put it: “Balance aims for neutrality. It requires that reporters present the views of legitimate spokespersons of the conflicting sides in any significant dispute, and provide both sides with roughly equal attention.”<sup>9</sup><br />
<b>False Balance</b><br />
In a study entitled “Balance as Bias,” Maxwell Boykoff and Jules Boykoff said:<br />
<blockquote>
“[B]alanced reporting can actually be a form of informational bias. Despite the highly regarded IPCC’s [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s] consistent assertions . . . , balanced reporting has allowed a small group of global warming skeptics to have their views amplified.”<sup>10</sup></blockquote>
In explaining how balance can be bias, the Boykoffs quoted Gelbspan, who wrote:<br />
<blockquote>
“The professional canon of journalistic fairness requires reporters who write about a controversy to present competing points of view. When the issue is of a political or social nature, fairness – presenting the most compelling arguments of both sides with equal weight – is a fundamental check on biased reporting. But this canon causes problems when it is applied to issues of science. It seems to demand that journalists present competing points of views on a scientific question as though they had equal scientific weight, when actually they do not.”<sup>11</sup></blockquote>
With regard to the idea of giving equal weight to “both sides,” Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway, authors of the great book Merchants of Doubt, said:<br />
<blockquote>
“[O]nce a scientific issue is closed, there’s only one ‘side.’ Imagine providing a ‘balance’ to the issue of whether the Earth orbits the Sun, whether continents move, or whether DNA carries genetic information. These matters were long ago settled in scientists’ minds. Nobody can publish an article in a scientific journal claiming the Sun orbits the Earth.”<sup>12</sup></blockquote>
Disputing this issue, Washington Post denialist Charles Krauthammer wrote: “There is nothing more anti-scientific than the very idea that science is settled, static, impervious to challenge.”<sup>13</sup><br />
However, although “science” is never settled, because new facts are continually found, some of which require new theories, this does not mean that there are no settled facts. Although plate tectonics was once fiercely debated, it no longer is. Climate science is still evolving, with many remaining questions (such as “climate sensitivity”). But central issues have been settled, including the fact that increased CO<sub>2</sub> in the atmosphere is raising the planet’s average temperature and that this global warming is causing climate disruption.<br />
Not only is this a consensus today, with over 97 percent of the world’s active climate scientists agreeing, consensus has existed for a long time. As early as 1997, the Washington Post published a story entitled “Consensus Emerges Earth Is Warming – Now What?”<sup>14</sup><br />
Recently, however, the media have largely ignored the distinction between disputed opinion and settled fact. As a result, the media have produced bias. Having studied the stories about global warming in the U.S. “prestige press” (the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, and the Wall Street Journal) between 1988 and 2002, Boykoff and Boykoff reported that a majority of the stories were “balanced” in this sense:<br />
<blockquote>
“[T]hese accounts gave ‘roughly equal attention’ to the view that humans were contributing to global warming, and the other view that exclusively natural fluctuations could explain the earth’s temperature increase.”</blockquote>
For stories to be truly balanced, they should give only as much attention to the views of contrarian scientists as their numbers represent. In 2014, English comedian John Oliver, on his faux TV news show, “Last Week Tonight,” humorously demonstrated what true balance would be. Having described the typical TV debate between a climate scientist and a climate denier, he pointed out that the debate should really be statistically representative of the two positions. So after having two more people join the denier, Oliver brought in 96 more to join the scientist.<sup>15</sup><br />
Gelbspan had suggested something like this many years ago, saying that, if reporters about the climate used the relevant type of balance, a story would primarily discuss the views of mainstream scientists, ”and the skeptics a couple of paragraphs at the end.”<sup>16</sup><br />
In any case, the problem with false balance is that it gives unknowing readers the impression that the scientific community is divided on the issue, and this problem primarily exists in the U.S. media. According to a 2012 report comparing the New York Times and Wall Street Journal with leading newspapers in Brazil, China, France, India, and the United Kingdom:<br />
<blockquote>
“America is unique when it comes to giving a platform to climate deniers and skeptics. According to a new analysis of data released [in 2011], American newspapers are far more likely to publish uncontested claims from climate deniers, many of whom challenge whether the planet is warming at all.”<sup>17</sup></blockquote>
A particularly egregious example of giving an unworthy scientist a platform, in the name of false balance, appeared in an otherwise excellent Associate Press story about the recent IPCC report, which said that if global warming continues, there will be “severe, pervasive and irreversible impacts for people and ecosystems.” The AP then quoted denialist John Christy as saying: “Humans are clever. We shall adapt to whatever happens.” But “quoting John Christy on climate change,” said Romm, “is like quoting Dick Cheney on Iraq.”<sup>18</sup><br />
Sometimes, moreover, the press does not even give equal attention to climate science. A 2014 report showed that fringe scientists who rejected the consensus have actually received most of the press coverage, while those who said that “greenhouse gases have caused strong global warming” received only 15% of the coverage.<sup>19</sup><br />
<b>Explicit Denialism</b><br />
Beyond the implicit denialism involved in false balance, there is also a lot of explicit denialism in American media.<br />
The two media giants who are worst in reporting on the climate are owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation: Fox News and the Wall Street Journal (WSJ). In September 2012, the Union of Concerned Scientists examined the articles during the previous year in the WSJ’s opinion section dealing with climate science, finding that the “representations of climate science were misleading 81 percent of the time.” But that was pretty good compared with Fox News, whose stories over a six-month period in 2012 “were misleading 93 percent of the time.”<sup>20</sup><br />
In 2013, the WSJ published an opinion piece entitled “In Defense of Carbon Dioxide,” in which the authors said: “[T]he conventional wisdom about carbon dioxide is that it is a dangerous pollutant. That’s simply not the case. Contrary to what some would have us believe, increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will benefit the increasing population on the planet by increasing agricultural productivity,” ignoring that this is true only in cold countries.<sup>21</sup><br />
CNBC has not been much better. Examining its stories that dealt with either “global warming” or “climate change” during the first half of 2013, Media Matters found that 51 percent of the stories “cast doubt on whether manmade climate change existed.” The only scientist that CNBC hosted about climate was William Happer, the chairman of the denialist George C. Marshall Institute, who was one of the authors of the aforementioned WSJ opinion piece, “In Defense of Carbon Dioxide.”<sup>22</sup><br />
Even the Washington Post has given a lot of space to denialists. In 2011, the editor of the Post’s editorial pages wrote, “The GOP’s climate-change denial may be its most harmful delusion.” But then he continued to publish pieces by his resident denialists, Charles Krauthammer and George Will. Krauthammer, whose claim that there is no settled science was cited earlier, has written so much that Joe Romm referred to a 2014 piece by Krauthammer as “his umpteenth falsehood-fest.”<sup>23</sup><br />
Will’s anti-scientific nonsense had gotten so bad in 2009 that other Post reporters contradicted him in a news article. But his perversity continued: In 2014, Will mocked the finding that 97 percent of climate scientists believe that carbon pollution is causing global warming. Asking rhetorically, “who did the poll?” Will suggested that the finding was no more worthy of belief than “100 Authors Against Einstein” produced by a Nazi publishing company. What Will did not tell readers was that what he called a “poll” was actually, as Romm pointed out, “a peer-reviewed analysis of more than 10,000 recent scientific papers on climate science.”<sup>24</sup><br />
Fortunately, a reaction against denialism in the media has begun. In general, good newspapers do not publish letters that are based on the denial of basic science, and in 2013 the Los Angeles Times enacted this policy with regard to climate science, with letters editor Paul Thornton explaining:<br />
<blockquote>
“I do my best to keep errors of fact off the letters page. . . . Saying ‘there’s no sign humans have caused climate change’ is not stating an opinion, it’s asserting a factual inaccuracy.”</blockquote>
Hartmann responded by saying:<br />
<blockquote>
“It’s time for the rest of the media to follow suit. All media outlets, TV, radio, print or otherwise should immediately stop publishing the factual inaccuracies of climate change deniers.”<sup>25</sup></blockquote>
Next, Forecast the Facts, hoping to speed up the process, created a petition addressed to five leading newspapers, saying:<br />
<blockquote>
“The Los Angeles Times recently announced that they are refusing to publish letters that deny climate change. . . . Sign the petition below to tell the editors of The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, and The Wall Street Journal: our country’s most respected newspapers should refuse to print letters that deny basic science.”</blockquote>
In addition, CREDO Mobilize started a petition addressed to all newspapers, “Tell Newspapers: Don’t Publish Climate Change Deniers.”<sup>26</sup><br />
In the U.K., the BBC, perhaps responding to John Oliver’s show, announced that its programs will henceforth give denialists only the amount of coverage their prominence merits. But by the beginning of 2015 this policy has not yet been adopted by most of the U.S. media companies.<sup>27</sup><br />
<b>Reduction of Coverage</b><br />
The U.S. mainstream media’s coverage has also failed by giving inadequate coverage, which can be regarded, along with false balance, as implicit climate denial.<br />
Although the U.S. media’s coverage of climate change has never been very high, its coverage went up in 2009, that being the year of the “Climategate” allegations and the climate conference in Copenhagen – which had been widely discussed as the world’s last chance to prevent catastrophic climate change. But although there were lots of “climategate” stories, “only a few of the major U.S. news outlets,” reported the Energy Daily, “published accounts of the Copenhagen gathering, which received heavy coverage by news outlets in Europe and Asia.”<sup>28</sup><br />
Since 2009, moreover, the coverage has consistently gone down, in spite of the increasingly extreme weather and the ever-fasting melting of glaciers (which is becoming so bad that Glacier National Park will soon need to change its name, and the same will be true of the Peruvian mountain range called Cordillera Blanca, or “White Range”). In spite of all such developments, the number of articles in the U.S. media mentioning global warming declined from 2,286 to 2006 to 1,353 in 2013.<sup>29</sup><br />
This type of implicit climate denial can be illustrated by actions of the New York Times and the Washington Post.<br />
NYT Eliminates Climate Desk: The most important of the reductions in coverage was what happened at the New York Times in 2013. At the beginning of that year, the Times eliminated its climate desk, which consisted of seven reporters and two editors. Describing the changes as merely “structural,” the paper’s executive editor, Jill Abramson, declared: “We will continue to cover these areas of national and international life just as aggressively.” But as venerable journalist Dan Froomkin asked, “How is that possible?” And Margaret Sullivan, the Times’ public editor, said that preventing the coverage of the environment from suffering “will be a particular challenge.”<sup>30</sup><br />
The warnings by Froomkin and Sullivan were not misplaced. Near the end of 2013, Sullivan reviewed how the Times’ environmental coverage had fared since its “structural changes.” Whereas in 2012, there were 362 print articles that featured climate change prominently between April and September, during those same months in 2013 this number dropped to 247. In addition, the number of front-page stories slipped from nine to three.<sup>31</sup><br />
When the results for the entire year came in, the number of NYT stories mentioning either “global warming” or “climate change” had plummeted more than 40 percent. According to the University of Colorado, which tracks such changes, this drop was bigger than that of any other newspaper. This was a radical change from 2012, when the Times “had the biggest increase in coverage among the five largest U.S. daily papers,” and when Glenn Kramon, assistant managing editor of the Times, had said: “Climate change is one of the few subjects so important that we need to be oblivious to cycles and just cover it as hard as we can all the time.”<sup>32</sup><br />
NYT Eliminates Environmental Blog: Two months after the Times’s elimination of its climate desk, it canceled its Green blog, which had a dozen contributors in addition to its two editors. The Times had created the Green blog in 2008, which was to keep readers up to date on “the high-stakes pursuit of a greener globe.” Then in 2010, “taking things up a notch,” the Times introduced a “more ambitious online effort, broadening our lens to include . . . politics and policy, environmental science and consumer choices.” This was timely, the paper’s editors explained, because the Wall Street Journal had shut down its green blog. The NYT’s blog’s editor, Tom Zeller, said: “Better informed citizens are crucial to building a better, greener civilization.”<sup>33</sup><br />
But three years later, the paper’s editors wrote: “The Times is discontinuing the Green blog, which was created to track environmental and energy news and to foster lively discussion of developments in both areas.” This surprise announcement led Curtis Brainard, the editor of the Columbia Journalism Review, to write:<br />
<blockquote>
“The Green blog was a crucial platform for stories that didn’t fit into the print edition’s already shrunken news hole. . . , and it was a place where reporters could add . . . information to pieces that did make the paper.”<sup>34</sup></blockquote>
The editors who made this decision, continued Brainard,<br />
<blockquote>
“should be ashamed of themselves. They’ve made a horrible decision that ensures the deterioration of the Times’s environmental coverage at a time when debates about climate change, energy, natural resources, and sustainability have never been more important to public welfare.”<sup>35</sup></blockquote>
Similarly, Drexel University’s Robert Brulle, who according to the Times is “an expert on environmental communications,” said: “The NY Times coverage of the environment has continued its journey from bad to worse. It continues to abrogate its responsibility to inform the public about critical issues.” More sardonically, Slate entitled its response: “The Times Kills Its Environmental Blog to Focus on Horse Racing and Awards Shows.”<sup>36</sup><br />
It did not take long for the Times’s reduced coverage to be noticed. In August 2013, for example, the New York Times failed to cover the NOAA’s [National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s] 258-page State of the Climate report, which is used to set U.S. climate policy. This failure, said Media Matters, “calls into doubt the extent to which the paper can be trusted to maintain strong attention to environmental issues in the face of recent organizational changes.”<sup>37</sup><br />
Washington Post Does Likewise: The same weekend, the Washington Post reassigned its top environmental reporter – who was a bright spot on a paper blighted by climate deniers such as George Will and Charles Krauthammer. Making a lipstick-on-a-pig announcement, the editors said:<br />
<blockquote>
“We’re very excited to announce the latest evolution of our political team — an online strike force that will help lead our journalism during the day. Juliet Eilperin will return to the world of politics to cover the White House. Juliet has had a terrific run on the environment beat, becoming one of the country’s leading reporters on climate change.”</blockquote>
Joe Romm wrote:<br />
<blockquote>
“Yes, no point in keeping one of the country’s leading reporters on climate change on the story of the century. She had a good run, but that climate story is so five minutes ago.”<sup>38</sup></blockquote>
Then the following year, the Post dropped first-rate blogger Ezra Klein, who regularly informed readers about science-based coverage of climate change, and replaced him with a website called the “Volokh Conspiracy.” This website was aptly named, pointed out a writer at Grist, because many of its bloggers promoted the idea that global warming is a conspiracy, a hoax. It is alarming, said Romm, that “[new owner] Jeff Bezos of the Washington Post would think such uninformed conspiracy mongering belongs at the Post.”<sup>39</sup><br />
<b>Television’s Inadequate Coverage</b><br />
In addition to reducing its coverage, U.S. television networks commonly give woefully inadequate coverage to important events, sometimes ignoring them completely. Saying that “the TV news is a disgrace,” media critic Todd Gitlin wrote,<br />
<blockquote>
“Despite the record temperatures of 2012, the intensifying storms, droughts, wildfires, and other wild weather events, the disappearing Arctic ice cap, and the greatest meltdown of the Greenland ice shield in recorded history, their news divisions went dumb and mute.”</blockquote>
Moreover, Gitlin said, “The Sunday talk shows, which supposedly offer long chews and not just sound bites. . . , were otherwise occupied.” Media Matters, he reported, gave this summary of the TV coverage of climate change in 2012:<br />
<blockquote>
“The Sunday shows spent less than 8 minutes on climate change. . . . ABC’s This Week covered it the most, at just over 5 minutes. . . . NBC’s Meet the Press covered it the least, in just one 6 second mention. . . . Most of the politicians quoted were Republican presidential candidates, including Rick Santorum, who went unchallenged when he called global warming ‘junk science’ on ABC’s This Week. More than half of climate mentions on the Sunday shows were Republicans criticizing those who support efforts to address climate change. . . . In four years, Sunday shows have not quoted a single scientist on climate change.”<sup>40</sup></blockquote>
In June 2013, President Obama gave a major speech, laying out his plan to cut carbon pollution. But except for MSNBC’s Melissa Harris-Perry, the Sunday morning news shows, which supposedly deal with the big stories of the week, ignored it. For the most part, those who relied on TV for their news had to rely on Jay Leno, David Letterman, and Jon Stewart.<sup>41</sup><br />
In 2014, the IPCC’s massive fifth assessment report, on which it had been working for several years, was published. MSNBC appropriately devoted almost 20 minutes to it, laying out the risks detailed by the report along with the ineffective attempts to cut carbon. But the coverage by both Fox News and CNN was pathetic.<br />
Fox News did what one would expect: It spent only five minutes on it, most of which was devoted to attacking the idea of climate change, with Bill O’Reilly accusing the climate scientists of wanting to destroy the economy with its “phantom global warming theory.” Although CNN did not attack the IPCC report, it virtually ignored it, devoting only one minute and eight seconds to it. CNN’s Jack Tapper did acknowledge that “all of human civilization could be at risk,” but CNN considered this point deserving of only 48 seconds.<sup>42</sup><br />
<b>Ignoring Climate Change while Discussing Extreme Weather</b><br />
Given the increasingly extreme weather of the past several years, the media were virtually forced to discuss it. But they usually have not felt compelled to connect the extreme weather with climate change, which was true of both newspaper and television coverage. This was even true of 2013, which was “a big year for climate,” especially “the increase in ferocity of our weather.” The extreme weather events of that year included “deadly flooding in Colorado, the string of major wildfires across the American West, and bouts of unseasonable temperatures across the country.” But according to Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, a study of 450 stories in the nightly news showed that “96 percent of extreme weather stories never discussed the human impact on the climate.”<sup>43</sup><br />
(This failure cannot be justified by the reluctance of climate scientists to attribute particular weather events to global warming. Climate scientists now agree that, in Kevin Trenberth’s words, “Global warming is contributing to an increased incidence of extreme weather because the environment in which all storms form has changed from human activities.” Likewise, James Hansen said: “We now know that the chances these extreme weather events would have happened naturally — without climate change — is negligible.”<sup>44</sup>)<br />
Media Matters reported essentially the same thing, referring to the Midwest floods in the spring of 2013. Whereas ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN had devoted a total of 74 segments to the flooding, not one mentioned climate change (CBS came the closest, mentioning that heavy downpours have increased). Media Matters found the newspaper stories hardly better. In a total of 35 articles about the floods, only one by USA Today mentioned climate change. Reuters and the Associated Press, Los Angeles Times, New York Times, and Wall Street Journal stories remained silent about it.<sup>45</sup><br />
Even NPR was guilty of this failure. In 2013, after commenting about an NPR story that mentioned the melting of glaciers without explaining why, Joe Romm said, “apparently we won’t be hearing more about why more glaciers are receding or speeding up — or what it all really means for humanity, like say, that whole sea level rise thing.”<sup>46</sup><br />
<div align="CENTER" style="text-align: left;">
<b>3. The U.S. Media’s Ultimate Crime</b></div>
In 2014, a host for a CNN show, reflecting on what it would take to change the thinking and actions of average Americans, wrote:<br />
<blockquote>
“Here’s what is missing from our national conversation about climate change: an emotional charge that hits you in the gut. . . . We need in-your-face cause and effect. Every day, it seems, a new extreme weather catastrophe happens somewhere in America and the media’s all over it, profiling the ordinary folks wiped out by forest fires, droughts, floods, massive sinkholes, tornadoes. But do reporters covering the who, what, when, where and how, ever talk about the real why? . . . . No. It’s still considered inappropriate to talk about the big elephant in the field, namely what we have long accepted as an act of God is increasingly becoming an act of man.”<sup>47</sup></blockquote>
As for what a good story would be like, an example was provided by reporter Clayton Sandell of ABC News. In a segment headed “Extreme Weather from Mother Nature,” Sandel said:<br />
<blockquote>
“Scientists say human-caused climate change is already helping shift the planet’s natural balance. Creating more heat waves, drought, and intense downpours. A stormy and expensive reality, that’s already on our doorsteps.”<sup>48</sup></blockquote>
In addition, a writer for the New Yorker has explained how slight changes in typical presentations could help people connect extreme weather with climate change. Whereas exceptionally cold weather generally weakens Americans’ belief in climate change, in the UK it strengthens it. The reason for the difference, concluded researchers at Cardiff University, is that the UK media “had framed the weather within the context of climate change, emphasizing that it was unnatural, rather than simply cold. Perhaps,” said the writer, “if people here were told that it’s not just brutal out there, it’s unnaturally brutal, they, too, might jump to a different conclusion.”<sup>49</sup><br />
Accordingly, there are simple things the media could do that could help the public understand the reality and seriousness of climate change. But as it is, Gelbspan said, the U.S. press coverage of the crisis is “a betrayal of the public trust.”<sup>50</sup><br />
The culpability of the American press has also been expressed by journalist Wen Stephenson, who had worked at NPR, PBS, the Atlantic, and the Boston Globe. In an open letter to his former journalism colleagues, Stephenson said:<br />
<blockquote>
“[Y]ou are failing. Your so-called ‘objectivity,’ your bloodless impartiality, are nothing but a convenient excuse for what amounts to an inexcusable failure to tell the most urgent truth we’ve ever faced. What’s needed now is crisis-level coverage.”</blockquote>
Spelling out what this would mean, Stephenson continued:<br />
<blockquote>
“In a crisis, the criteria for top news is markedly altered, as long as a story sheds light on the crisis topic. In crisis coverage, there’s an assumption that readers want and deserve to know as much as possible. In crisis coverage, you ‘flood the zone.’ The climate crisis is the biggest story of this, or any, generation — so why the hell aren’t you flooding the climate ‘zone,’ putting it on the front pages and leading newscasts with it every day?”<sup>51</sup></blockquote>
Besides being an inexcusable failure and a betrayal of the public trust, the U.S. media’s failure can be considered the ultimate crime.<br />
Writing in the Guardian, Stephan Lewandowsky said: “The media failed to accurately report facts prior to the Iraq War; climate reporting is failing in similar fashion.” Some journalists who had supported the Bush-Cheney administration’s claims about weapons of mass destruction felt anguish about having used “’evidence’ now known to be bogus” to support the push for war. “The lethal fallout from misinformation a decade ago,” wrote Lewandowsky, “primarily affected the people of Iraq.” But “the fallout from misinformation about climate change is likely to affect us all.”<sup>52</sup><br />
Indeed, some journalists – besides Eric Pooley, who was quoted above – have said that unmitigated climate change threatens the very continuation of civilization.<br />
<ul>
<li>In his criticism of the mainstream media’s climate coverage as criminal, Hartmann said: “After all, the future of all life on Earth is at stake.”</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>In his critique of U.S. press coverage as a “damning betrayal of public trust,” Gelbspan said climate change “threatens the survival of our civilization.”</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Romm said that “unless we start cutting carbon pollution soon, the impacts threaten to destroy the stable climate that made modern civilization possible.”<sup>53</sup></li>
</ul>
Moreover, it has become a consensus among scientists, along with others who know the scientific facts, that climate change caused by global warming threatens to bring civilization to an end.<br />
<ul>
<li>“Global warming,” said Nobel laureate Paul Crutzen, “[is] raising concerns about the [ability] of Earth’s environment . . . to maintain viable human civilizations.”</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Lester Brown subtitled a book Mobilizing to Save Civilization.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>National Medal of Science recipient Lonnie Thompson, explaining the new outspokenness of climate scientists, responding to the question of why sober climatologists have begun speaking out publicly about the dangers of global warming, said that “virtually all of us are now convinced that global warming poses a clear and present danger to civilization.”</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Former Vice President Al Gore, speaking of the climate crisis, said: “What hangs in the balance is the future of civilization as we know it.”</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>In 2011, Lester Brown, Bill McKibben, and a large number of other environmental leaders, wrote a letter to the presidents of the United States and China, saying: “It is time to publicly acknowledge that the continued burning of fossil fuels threatens the survival of civilization.”</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>In 2012, twenty previous winners of the Blue Planet Prize said that “society has no choice but to take dramatic action to avert a collapse of civilization.”<sup>54</sup></li>
</ul>
The destruction of civilization, some writers have pointed out, would amount to suicide:<br />
<ul>
<li>New Yorker writer Elizabeth Kolbert famously said: “It may seem impossible to imagine that a technologically advanced society could choose, in essence, to destroy itself, but that is what we are now in the process of doing.”</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Mohamed Nasheed, while he was the president of Maldives, said that if the nations fail to sign a commitment to bring carbon emissions down, they will in effect have signed a “global suicide pact.”</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Paul and Anne Ehrlich, saying that climate disruption is threatening human civilization with collapse, added: “Humankind finds itself engaged in what Prince Charles described as ‘an act of suicide on a grand scale.’”<sup>55</sup></li>
</ul>
However, unlike suicide in the normal sense, the suicide involved in the destruction of civilization would take not simply the politicians, media moguls, owners of fossil-fuel companies, and others who actively caused it, but all the rest of us, too. Accordingly, in light of the stakes, the U.S. media’s coverage of climate change is not simply a crime, but the ultimate crime.<br />
In 2013, Tom Engelhardt, recognizing that genocide is usually considered the ultimate crime, coined the term “terracide” to describe an even more ultimate crime, writing:<br />
<blockquote>
“To destroy our planet with malice aforethought, with only the most immediate profits on the brain, with only your own comfort and wellbeing (and those of your shareholders) in mind: Isn’t that the ultimate crime? Isn’t that terracide? It would be, because it would be not only the ‘ultimate crime against humanity’ but also ‘against most living things.’”<sup>56</sup></blockquote>
The fossil-fuel companies are guilty of the ultimate crime, he said, because they are earning their “profits directly off melting the planet, knowing that their extremely profitable acts are destroying the very habitat, the very temperature range that for so long made life comfortable for humanity.”<sup>57</sup><br />
As indicated, Engelhardt directs his indictment at fossil-fuel companies. But as Hartmann and Hertsgaard both pointed out, the fossil-fuel companies could never have been able to continue their polluting ways – long after the scientific community had reached consensus about connection between fossil-fuel emission, global warming, and climate change – without the assistance of the media. And so the U.S. media share the responsibility for terracide.<br />
Noam Chomsky has explicitly connected the U.S. media to the ultimate crime: Besides writing that “we are moving toward what may in fact be the ultimate genocide – the destruction of the environment,” Chomsky said: “The media cooperate by not even reporting the increasingly dire forecasts of international agencies and even the U.S. Department of Energy.”<sup>58</sup><br />
<div align="CENTER" style="text-align: left;">
<b>Conclusion</b></div>
Accordingly, Hartmann’s charge is correct in spades: Besides being guilty of betraying the public trust, the U.S. mainstream media’s climate coverage is guilty of facilitating the move toward the ultimate crime, terracide.<br />

Chemtrails are made from the toxic residue of processed coal ash. Please show everyone this video: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6r0GqbH9Os" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?<wbr></wbr>v=F6r0GqbH9Os</a>
<br />
<br />
This is the game changer. <br />
<br />
Chemtrails are COAL ASH - even the
ingredients add up to the findings of soil, water and air tests being taken all over the world. <br />
<br />
This is a VERY important video, so please download, translate/upload, and forward it to all.<br />
<br />
This is some of the most important inf<span class="text_exposed_show">ormation, on the planet, and it must go viral!</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show"><br /> NOW, we have a real tool, to stop the chemtrail attack on our planet!</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show"><br /> Time to roll up our sleeves, and get to work!</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show"><br /> Blessings to all!</span><br />

<br />
Evidently the EPA also reclassified
Coal Ash in Dec. 2014 to be regarded as safe. Coal
ash is not considered toxic waste, according to the 'NEW' EPA ruling, in
December, 2014. This means it is considered the same as sand, so there
is no tracking. This is what the coal plant owners wanted, and since
nobody spoke up, this is what we
get. <br />
<br />
The coal plants have had free reign to ship the stuff where ever they
want, with no tracking from the government for MANY years. <br />
<br />
EPA CALLED IT SAFE IN
DEC 2014 so not regulated. (not regulated at this time but remains HIGHLY toxic)<br />
<br />
This
is the southeast report on where the coal ash is coming from. Maps of additional sources will be posted to the public. My
source tells me that it is being trucked and railed in to the
geoengineering airports.<br />

<br />
This message is from a U S A F pilot. who (allegedly) flies Aerosol
Tankers. as part of the secret Program called. Indigo Skyfold. A geo
engineered aerosol "chemtrails" program.<br />
<br />
Please, may I call
your special attention to the part of his testimony which implies: "a
very new "extremely toxic" chemtrail mix, is going to be sprayed. Using
new technology, that makes these special chemtrails, completely
invisible."<br />
<br />
If you have a Geiger counter, with an alpha/beta
probe, please test the aerosol fallout. now. and after January 20, 2015.
The best way to test the aerosols, is to wipe your car hood and
windshield. with a clean paper towel, after a dry period of heavy
spraying. Then, test the towel for alpha and beta radiation. This is
especially important in California. which has no natural radon sources
upwind.<br />
<br />
By the way. the building at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HqqnrQWC5U#">7:30</a>.
is the International Criminal Court. at The Hague Netherlands. This is
where the criminals behind these programs need to be taken, to be put on
trial, while the world watches.<br />

better job of narration, please let me know or upload your own video!

January 14, 2014<br />
<br />
This clip was forwarded to me by a subscriber who has become a friend. I'm told it concerned an urgent matter and came from credible source; a Special Forces fighter who is close with the subscriber's family.<br />
<br />
This message, itself is from a US Air Force pilot, who claims to fly aerosol tankers, as part of a secret geo-engineering aerosol, "chemtrails" program called Indigo Skyfold.<br />
<br />
The clip calls special attention to: a new, radioactive, "extremely toxic" chemtrail brew, that will soon be sprayed by the end of January, 2015, using a new technology, that makes these new chemtrails "completely invisible."<br />
<br />
It asks those who have Geiger Counters, with alpha/beta probes, to please test the aerosol fallout, now - and then again, after January 20, 2015. <br />
<br />
The advice given here, as the best way to test the aerosols, is to wipe down your car hood and windshield with a clean paper towel, after a dry period of heavy spraying. Then, with the Geiger Counter, test the towel for alpha and beta radiation. This is especially important in California, which has no natural radiation sources, upwind.<br />
<br />
By the way, the building which appears at Running Time 7:30 is the International Criminal Court at The Hague, Netherlands. This is where the the uploader says that the criminals behind these programs need to be taken, to be put on trial, after the world has seen this.<br />
<br />
The narration track, here comes from text-to-speech program, made this way, to protect the identity of the the uploader, who asks that if anyone can perform a better narration, to please feel free to add your own audio to the video and to upload your own version. <br />
<br />
For this purpose, I have created a fully-corrected transcript of the chemtrail pilot's testimony, with Running Time, that appears below. <br />
<br />
This video has been denbunked by Metabunk.com, a site which retired Air Force Environmental Hygiene Specialist, Kristen Meghan has referred to as the ultimate anti-chemtrail hoax site.<br />
<br />
The uploader's main concern is to not allow this video disappear from the Internet!<br />
<br />

0:01 Greetings, friends.<br />
0:04 This video will be sent for remix on my original channel,<br />

0:23 who allegedly flies aerosol tankers,<br />
0:27 as part of the secret program called<br />
0:30 Indigo Sky Fold, a geo-<br />
0:33 engineering aerosol chemtrails program.<br />
0:37 Please,<br />
0:39 may I call your special attention to the part of his testimony<br />
0:42 which implies a very new, extremely toxic chemtrail mix<br />
0:47 is going to be sprayed, using new technology<br />
0:51 that makes these special chemtrails completely invisible.<br />
0:56 If you have a Geiger Counter with an Alpha-<br />
0:59 Beta probe, please test the aerosol as follows: now<br />
1:04 and after January 20th, 2015.<br />
1:08 The best way to test the aerosoles is to wipe your car hood<br />
1:12 and windshield with a clean paper towel,<br />
1:16 after a dry period of heavy spraying. Then,<br />
1:20 test the towel for Alpha and Beta radiation.<br />
1:23 This is especially important in California,<br />
1:26 which has no natural radiation sources, upwind. And<br />
1:31 by the way, the building at [Running Time] 7:30<br />
1:34 is the International Criminal Court at The Hague, Netherlands.<br />
1:38 This is where the criminals behind these programs need to be taken,<br />
1:43 to be put on trial, while the world watches.<br />
1:48 P.S.<br />
1:49 If anyone can do a better job of narration,<br />
1:52 please let me know or upload your own video.<br />
1:55 Don't let this disappear from the internet<br />
1:59 Testimony:<br />
2:02 "My cousin, who was fired by our dictator<br />
2:05 "just before making<br />
2:07 "[rank withheld] sent me information given to him by a friend<br />
2:11 "who was still an Air Force pilot. This pilot is saying that he flies chemtrail<br />
2:17 "flights.<br />
2:19 "This pilot told my cousin that this global engineering<br />
2:22 "effort goes by the name of Indigo Sky Fold - <br />
2:26 "at least, within the circle of the pilots and aviation crews that he works with.<br />
2:32 "They are told to fly specific routes and satellite com links<br />
2:37 "control the aerosol dispersal patterns. He says that they only make course<br />
2:43 "corrections<br />
2:44 "from time to time and [mainly, only] perform landings and takeoffs.<br />
2:49 "Pilot navigation and maintenance crews<br />
2:53 "are rotated constantly and only spend about 18 months<br />
2:58 "at one given base.<br />
3:00 "He states this is to keep pilots and their families from making too many<br />
3:05 "friends<br />
3:06 "and ending up with 'loose lips'.<br />
3:09 "Plus, they also rotate between day<br />
3:13 "and night flights. One base for daytime flights<br />
3:17 "and one for night. Each base covers a 250 mile zone <br />
3:22 "and each fleet squadron of planes<br />
3:26 "can cover three States or an even larger swathe of ocean.<br />
3:32 "They are told to simply do their job and shut the f*ck up.<br />
3:36 "Their superiors will only tell them it's a matter of "National Security"<br />
3:42 "and without these flights, our enemies' newest<br />
3:45 "technological weapons of war could easily penetrate America's airspace,<br />
3:51 "at will. We are dedicated and committed to keeping our Allies safe<br />
3:56 "from the same skyward threats, so we extend the arm<br />
4:00 "of protection to those countries who support our efforts.<br />
4:04 "Hostile nations are also building atmospheric shields,<br />
4:09 "while in the same discourse, trying to explore weaknesses<br />
4:14 "in our ever-developing air and space-based technologies."<br />
4:19 Sounds more like a PR statement to me. I think this pilot<br />
4:23 either believes what he is told or<br />
4:27 he is simply trying to sugarcoat their genocide project.<br />
4:32 December 8th, 2014<br />
4:37 my firewall detected multiple intrusion attempts<br />
4:40 when I Googled the Indigo code, as well, 0 [results] were to be found on the Internet<br />
4:46 for this operation. That is unique.<br />
4:51 I received a rather lengthy reply<br />
4:54 from the chemtrail pilot. Here is that text<br />
4:58 from his or her email:<br />
5:02 "First of all, I would like to say I do not agree with my mission assignments<br />
5:07 "but what soldier ever truly does? several of us have considered bucking<br />
5:12 "the ranks<br />
5:14 "and going AWOL, from time to time.<br />
5:18 "We are kept in the dark, when it comes to getting<br />
5:21 "honest answers about but we are really spraying.<br />
5:25 "Should they discover that we or our families<br />
5:28 "are actively inquiring about the so-called chemtrails term,<br />
5:32 "then automatic and swift disciplinary<br />
5:35 "actions will be taken. HAARP and radar<br />
5:39 "are two other non-allowed research subjects.<br />
5:42 "Unless our children are learning about this in their schools,<br />
5:47 "we are not allowed to educate ourselves<br />
5:50 "or our children, through any public tutoring system.<br />
5:55 "I would not intentionally spray my children or family with toxic<br />
5:59 "aerosols but you must know: eighty percent<br />
6:04 "or better do not have any family or children.<br />
6:08 "Indigo pilots are chosen from the top ranks<br />
6:12 "within the Air Force,<br />
6:14 "Navy and Coast Guard.<br />
6:17 "Most of the pilots are hardened to humanity<br />
6:20 "and could care less about killing off unwanted<br />
6:23 "or leeching aspects of America and the world.<br />
6:27 "I swear to you, the majority of the pilots<br />
6:31 "are like machines. I call them 'tanker terminators.'<br />
6:37 "I should<br />
6:37 "not be telling you this, but nearly one-third of all flights<br />
6:42 "are being orchestrated from small, unnamed Islands<br />
6:45 "where newly-constructed bases are being built,<br />
6:50 "at a rate of eight per year.<br />
6:53 "On these extremely remote islands, there are HAARP<br />
6:56 "arrays of every possible design, with many arrays surrounding these islands<br />
7:02 "within the depths of the ocean, itself. The Navy has developed sophisticated<br />
7:07 "underwater construction technology, that allows fully autonomous robot<br />
7:12 "submersibles<br />
7:13 "to travel great distances and even manufacture parts for these massive<br />
7:19 "underwater arrays, as they progress across the open sea floor.<br />
7:24 "Every time that you see or hear about military<br />
7:27 "exercises at sea, they are basically there to give support and resupply<br />
7:33 "their army of underwater robotic minions.<br />
7:37 'There is possibly one acquatic robot per plane<br />
7:41 "and will soon be double that.<br />
7:44 "You will never be able to Google Earth search any of this,<br />
7:48 "other than an occasional error and blurring some island bases<br />
7:52 "or smudging images of underwater arrays.<br />
7:55 "It is impossible to locate all these artifacts.<br />
7:59 "They even paint fake clouds over some of our island installations<br />
8:05 "to keep prying eyes away." I have been shown some of these images<br />
8:10 by civilian friends. That is the reason<br />
8:13 I know this.<br />
8:15 "I completely understand your concern for human safety<br />
8:20 "but here is the kicker:<br />
8:22 "We are shown videos, in our training of catastrophic destruction to our Homeland<br />
8:28 "by a very sophisticated weapons.<br />
8:31 "Then, told that these will be the consequences,<br />
8:34 "if we don't fly!<br />
8:37 "Our efforts, in building a defense of atmospheric weapons <br />
8:40 "shield are the only missions of their kind<br />
8:43 "in the world. We are paid more than any other pilot<br />
8:47 "for our service, other than Air Force One pilots,<br />
8:51 "who make as much or more - and are also kept in a dark secret world,<br />
8:56 "for their protection.<br />
8:58 "They tell us that that secrecy is our protection<br />
9:01 "and not to listen to any public rhetoric.<br />
9:06 "We all know about cyber program, Flashpoint<br />
9:09 "or FP03, as it is known, within the veteran community.<br />
9:14 "This program is a self-destruct sequence<br />
9:17 "that can be remotely-activated from any ground,<br />
9:21 "water, underwater-based or<br />
9:24 "other air mobile unit. The signal is encrypted through three satellites<br />
9:29 "and cannot be jammed or blocked.<br />
9:33 "At any given moment, you could only have fifteen seconds,<br />
9:37 "to make peace with your God.<br />
9:40 "They tell us that FP exists, to keep planes from accidentally going down, in<br />
9:46 "heavily-populated areas<br />
9:48 "They can remotely-detonate our planes<br />
9:51 "over 'safe zones' but, in the back of our minds<br />
9:55 "we are pretty sure this as a failsafe program<br />
9:59 "to keep pilots from turning over assets to<br />
10:02 "any public, private or civilian authorities.<br />
10:07 "Have you ever seen any member of the crew that survived the few crashes that have<br />
10:12 "occurred?<br />
10:13 "Every plane that has gone down was completely destroyed<br />
10:17 "for a good reason. I'm sure.<br />
10:21 "We risk our lives in more ways than one<br />
10:24 "every single time that we fly, especially night flights.<br />
10:29 "They are ordering us to fly at lower and lower altitudes<br />
10:33 "we feel like massive dark-force Empire<br />
10:37 "crop-dusters and know that, one night,<br />
10:41 "Bubba or Billie-Jo will fire their long rifles at us.<br />
10:45 "When we spray their moonshine-making operations<br />
10:49 "or pass over an illegal Mary Jane crop.<br />
10:54 "I know for a fact, that some planes have been shot at,<br />
10:58 "and subsequently brought down by mostly Russian,<br />
11:03 "Chinese and Korean weaponry but<br />
11:06 "the media will never cover these events, as they are not allowed to report<br />
11:12 "on our flights, either. That must be true,<br />
11:15 "for I have yet to see a detailed or in-depth report of our missions,<br />
11:20 "on any public venue, other than conspiracy shows and the government<br />
11:25 "websites.<br />
11:27 "I risk everything, for disclosing so much<br />
11:30 "information and you will find very few like me.<br />
11:34 "Even my own flight crew would have me arrested<br />
11:38 "and court-martialed, if they knew of this dialogue<br />
11:41 "That is why I cannot email you directly.<br />
11:46 "But, from but what your cousin tells me, you're<br />
11:49 "also risking everything, just to get this information out to your colleagues,<br />
11:54 "I salute you, Sir, for standing up to the Establishment<br />
11:58 "and Big Brother<br />
12:01 "I would love to go home tomorrow and not track<br />
12:04 "up one more single minute a flight time<br />
12:07 "except for a sweet little Piper Cub<br />
12:10 "or rat-tail [uninelligible] racer.<br />
12:13 "I miss those beautiful, blue skies from my youth<br />
12:16 "and I am ashamed for hazing over that dream.<br />
12:20 "Maybe more of my fellow pilots will read or hear about this<br />
12:25 "and decide to come forward, as well.<br />
12:28 "I only know a small fraction of the larger picture<br />
12:31 "and they compartmentalize everything,<br />
12:35 "so they become aware of any new,<br />
12:38 "significant developments. I will email your cousin.<br />
12:43 "He senses a wavering within the ranks<br />
12:46 "and feels that it kinda mutiny<br />
12:49 "is being boiled to the surface of this whole geoengineering,<br />
12:53 "global whitewashing, if you catch my drift."<br />
12:59 My cousin still has friends in high places, too<br />
13:02 so, he is helping to protect him.<br />
13:06 Last word from the pilot was:<br />
13:10 "All pilots on leave are required to report to their CO by December <br />
13:16 "15th<br />
13:17 "for special training operations, to qualify for Indigo Phase Two<br />
13:22 "flights.<br />
13:23 "Expect it to be initiated by January 21st."<br />
13:28 Those were his words, not the actual Air Force message.<br />
13:33 He wanted me to stress that.<br />
13:36 He believes that the focus of their flights will be moved to<br />
13:40 areas east of California and Texas,<br />
13:43 in order to progress the drought, further into the heartland.<br />
13:48 Plus, he feels that a very new, extremely-toxic chemtrail mix<br />
13:53 is going to be sprayed, using new technology<br />
13:56 that makes these special chemtrails completely invisible.<br />
14:02 'Atmospheric Shield of Protection': he doesn't believe that, either.<br />
14:07 End of message<br />

Trees and whole forests around the globe are in steep decline. So much of the population has completely given up any connection to the natural world and thus they do not notice how rapidly tree health has deteriorated in almost all locations. All over the world formerly healthy forests are now in very poor condition. The condition of the trees has gone from bad to worse and few take note of this, let alone show any concern.<br />
<br />
The ongoing global climate engineering programs have decimated the ozone layer. Ozone layer destruction has long since been a known and recognized consequence of introducing particulates into the atmosphere. Atmospheric spraying of nano particles is a primary aspect of solar radiation management (SRM). In short, <a href="http://www.geoengineeringwatch.org/geoengineering-is-destroying-the-ozone-layer/">geoengineering is destroying the ozone layer</a>.<br />
<br />
Levels of UVB are now often up to 1000% higher than official agencies are disclosing, these are extremely dangerous levels. How do we know levels are this high? <a href="http://www.geoengineeringwatch.org/uvb-radiation-is-off-the-charts-metering-proves-this-fact/">Because we can and are metering UV radiation</a>. We are now even detecting UVC radiation at the surface, UVC is the last band of UV radiation before x-ray radiation.<br />
<br />
We are told by all “official” monitoring agencies that UVC is stopped 100,000 feet up in the atmosphere, this is also a lie. Back to the trees, what is all this radiation doing to them? The 2 minute video below illustrates one example of the harm being done.<br />

Jet Stream Manipulation Nightmare</h2>

This is likely the most compelling short video of all from the HAARP Report. Segments in this short clip show the wall of ionosphere heater induced high pressure that completely blocks the flow of moisture into the Western US. At the 3:30 point in the video through the 4:15 point, this is most visible.<br />
<br />
I would recommend viewing this segment several times to fully grasp the degree to which the climate engineers can control and horribly alter the climate system. The west to east flow of moisture literally hits a wall and then splits to the north and the south.<br />
<br />
Meteorologically speaking, this phenomenon is astounding, yet, the whole climate science community continues to remain completely silent. Worse, many in the meteorological/climate science arenas and mainstream media actually try to explain away the extreme weather modification as “natural”.<br />
<br />
By doing so they are helping to hide the lethal climate engineering crimes.</div>

<div>
Pinal County Airpark, Marana, AZ (confirmed & verified location of chem-trail planes)<br />
<br />
Pinal Airpark is located just north of Marana, AZ. This airport is crowded with many large aircraft, while it has no passenger terminal. [ Within this small AZ town is a second airport called the Marana Regional Airport that does have a passenger terminal with public flights and is advertized as a general aviati<span class="text_exposed_hide">...</span><span class="text_exposed_show">on reliever airport for Tucson International Airport. ] Although the Pinal Airpark is currently a county-owned airport, it has a long history of ties with the military dating back to 1942.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="text_exposed_show"> This is a photo showing the numerous large crafts parked on the ground at this airport using Google Earth. Then you will see a link to some photos of Evergreen Air showing the large chem-trail planes and many have the red or blue & white patterns that they use. Then you will see a link to Marana Aerospace which is the commercial aircraft maintenance & aircraft "boneyard" CIA front used to hide the chem-trail operations conducted there on a daily & ongoing basis. Whistle blowers have confirmed this airport is very busy with chem-trail plane activities, and I believe they have no reasons to lie about it. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="text_exposed_show">Evergreen was given a no contest bid that gave them all the facilities in Marana, Arizona that previously belonged to CIA’s Air America (Pinal Air Park, Arizona). The security at the Pinal site is said to be as severe as that of Area 51. It is run as a military base where one lost pilot got an armed escort immediately off the operational base. The 10 year pilot said it was nothing like anything he has ever seen. This county airport is located out in the desert in this very small town located close to Tucson, Yuma, and Phoenix, Arizona which are all huge metropolitan areas. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="text_exposed_show">This is one of the most busy chem-trail base of operations in the entire USA. Once again, this air port has numerous large air craft like an international airport, but has no passenger terminal. Too me, all of this information along with the whistle blower information confirms this as a base of operations for chem-trailing. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="text_exposed_show">Evergreen works from over 100 bases and employees 4,500 people. Delford Smith privately owns the company. They admittedly “perform” for the CIA. Hopefully someone that lives in the immediate vicinity of this airport can chime in with further information.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.geoengineeringwatch.org%2Fevergreen-air%2F&h=HAQH6sZbW&enc=AZN6PyZ9oDEdHUaSdou7bzlzmoEh86sdJf1nyqmQiduF5hb-ZNTVLSjNIKZ8WRHFGDwEI8lQ5JApyqvSJiULoO8kkw4WVx_LKiU-6gixi9E-ZG-OnnMb-Bb82V6w7mwHJFPtIeqTpX9jUzfFbWT-8l6l&s=1" onclick="LinkshimAsyncLink.swap(this, "http:\/\/l.facebook.com\/l.php?u=http\u00253A\u00252F\u00252Fwww.geoengineeringwatch.org\u00252Fevergreen-air\u00252F&h=HAQH6sZbW&enc=AZN6PyZ9oDEdHUaSdou7bzlzmoEh86sdJf1nyqmQiduF5hb-ZNTVLSjNIKZ8WRHFGDwEI8lQ5JApyqvSJiULoO8kkw4WVx_LKiU-6gixi9E-ZG-OnnMb-Bb82V6w7mwHJFPtIeqTpX9jUzfFbWT-8l6l&s=1");" onmouseover="LinkshimAsyncLink.swap(this, "http:\/\/www.geoengineeringwatch.org\/evergreen-air\/");" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank">http://<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>www.geoengineeringwatch.org<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>/evergreen-air/</a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fmaranaaerospace.com%2F&h=NAQFWcZxi&enc=AZM5dC_G_fEpycHGlnWJukWB5gEcFiViunsifTwIPEjfY-NS2jg-xpL4S_q1HVKtp9OSQ6WAkV0QEb2P5IWq9Su3jhXmfuoFSK5bkLgbUELOStk-e3l1NqUVN4ssY3tJlcZBiVz0d6gYFx29GTE06RqU&s=1" onclick="LinkshimAsyncLink.swap(this, "http:\/\/l.facebook.com\/l.php?u=http\u00253A\u00252F\u00252Fmaranaaerospace.com\u00252F&h=NAQFWcZxi&enc=AZM5dC_G_fEpycHGlnWJukWB5gEcFiViunsifTwIPEjfY-NS2jg-xpL4S_q1HVKtp9OSQ6WAkV0QEb2P5IWq9Su3jhXmfuoFSK5bkLgbUELOStk-e3l1NqUVN4ssY3tJlcZBiVz0d6gYFx29GTE06RqU&s=1");" onmouseover="LinkshimAsyncLink.swap(this, "http:\/\/maranaaerospace.com\/");" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank">http://<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>maranaaerospace.com/</a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.livingmarana.com%2Fabout-marana%2Fairports%2F&h=UAQGwxn7n&enc=AZOyCdPmrOhAWh1jl-Gi97rtf8LN4o3nmlqlWF5p3-sgbwlQrc3VIJpPvJ1s3sUtw8cZYFsixqT8NR7W-M4St2o6Y3Ow-lUORx1mlJxu9yQ-UU3EnSKGvWIpZtutj44eP7fKSTUgKETdsTgQkQUlTFzY&s=1" onclick="LinkshimAsyncLink.swap(this, "http:\/\/l.facebook.com\/l.php?u=http\u00253A\u00252F\u00252Fwww.livingmarana.com\u00252Fabout-marana\u00252Fairports\u00252F&h=UAQGwxn7n&enc=AZOyCdPmrOhAWh1jl-Gi97rtf8LN4o3nmlqlWF5p3-sgbwlQrc3VIJpPvJ1s3sUtw8cZYFsixqT8NR7W-M4St2o6Y3Ow-lUORx1mlJxu9yQ-UU3EnSKGvWIpZtutj44eP7fKSTUgKETdsTgQkQUlTFzY&s=1");" onmouseover="LinkshimAsyncLink.swap(this, "http:\/\/www.livingmarana.com\/about-marana\/airports\/");" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank">http://<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>www.livingmarana.com/<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>about-marana/airports/</a><br /> <br /> [ Here is a link to the Marana Regional Airport (2nd airport in a very small desert community) with passenger terminal; notice little or no air craft at this public airport because this town is so remote.

When the ship is going down, one must prioritize their time, their actions, and their energy. The planet is dying. Though there are countless forms of damage to Earth from human activities, climate engineering is mathematically the greatest single source, it is the epitome of human insanity. Our society has been very well trained to turn two blind eyes to the big picture, and to simply spend their time and energies only on their own pursuit of personal pleasures. If this paradigm is not overturned, and people do not choose to stand and face the challenges closing in on us, we will have no chance. Now is when we decide why we are here. Now is when we decide what it means to show our love for our children. If life on Earth is to have any possibility of survival, if our children are to have any chance of a future, we must all stand together in the battle to preserve what life is left on our once thriving planet. If we do not act today, we will not have tomorrow.</div>

<b><span style="font-size: small;">Monsanto Has Purchased “Climate Corporation” For Nearly A Billion Dollars, Why?</span></b><br />
<br />
Monsanto purchased “The Climate Corporation” in 2013, why? Because those who are connected to the climate engineering insanity (and the decimation it is causing) need to control the flow of information in order to better capitalize from the ever increasing engineered disasters. Controlling the message makes for better manipulation of the farmers struggling from the geoengineered destruction.<br />
<br />
The post below was sent to me from activist Melody Meachum, my gratitude to her for this. It is a summary of statements made by Monsanto and the Climate Corporation just prior to the purchase being completed, the message is sickening for those that know the truth of the matter. Monsanto and Climate Corporation state how much they will be able to help the agriculture communities when in reality their goals have long since been clear to any who investigate, to capitalize off the engineered decimation being carried out on our planet. I spoke in front of “The Climate Corporation” headquarters in San Francisco at the request of the “March Against Monsanto” group. At this event I made clear the connection between Monsanto, The Climate Corporation, and climate engineering (the photo above was taken at this event). Below is a short comment from Melody Meachum followed by the carefully crafted public propaganda message from the Monsanto/Climate Corporation merger group.<br />

Monsanto to acquire The Climate Corporation October 3, 2013 Category: Technology by the Monsanto Company<br />
</div>
<div>
Monsanto Company announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire The Climate Corporation for a cash purchase price of approximately $930 million. The acquisition will combine The Climate Corporation’s expertise in agriculture analytics and risk-management with Monsanto’s R&D capabilities, and will provide farmers access to more information about the many factors that affect the success of their crops. The companies’ combined capabilities will support greater productivity while utilizing the planet’s finite resources more precisely.<br />
</div>
<div>
The acquisition is expected to expand on The Climate Corporation’s leadership in the area of data science, which represents the agriculture sector’s next major breakthrough, and will immediately expand both the near- and long-term growth opportunities for Monsanto’s business and Integrated Farming Systems platform.<br />
</div>
<div>
“The Climate Corporation is focused on unlocking new value for the farm through data science,” said Hugh Grant, chairman and chief executive officer for Monsanto. “Everyone benefits when farmers are able to produce more with fewer resources. The Climate Corporation team brings leading expertise that will continue to greatly benefit farmers and their bottom-line, and we want to expand upon this tremendous work and broaden their reach to more crops and more world areas. We look forward to working closely with our distribution partners and others in the agricultural industry to bring this suite of information resources to the farm.”<br />
</div>
<div>
The Climate Corporation was founded in 2006 by a highly successful team of software engineers and data scientists formerly with Google and other leading Silicon Valley technology companies. Since that time, the company has built the agriculture industry’s most advanced technology platform combining hyper-local weather monitoring, agronomic data modeling, and high-resolution weather simulations to deliver a complete suite of full-season monitoring, analytics and risk-management products.<br />
</div>
<div>
“Farmers around the world are challenged to make key decisions for their farms in the face of increasingly volatile weather, as well as a proliferation of information sources,” said David Friedberg, chief executive officer for The Climate Corporation. “Our team understands that the ability to turn data into actionable insight and farm management recommendations is vitally important for agriculture around the world and can greatly benefit farmers, regardless of farm size or their preferred farming methods. Monsanto shares this important vision for our business and we look forward to creating even greater experiences for our farmer customers.”<br />
</div>
<div>
The Climate Corporation has a core set of support tools to benefit farmers. These include products that help them boost yields on existing farmland and better manage risks that occur throughout a crop season. The Climate Corporation will continue to offer its current risk-management products including an online service that provides crop planning, monitoring, and recommendations, and insurance offerings through its network of independent agents.<br />
</div>
<div>
The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the first quarter of Monsanto’s 2014 fiscal year. Following the acquisition, The Climate Corporation will operate its business to retain its distinct brand identity and customer experience. The company will continue to maintain headquarters in Silicon Valley and all of its employees will be offered continued employment.<br />
</div>
<div>
Combined Company to Be a Leader in Data Science, Acquisition Expected to Drive Near-and Long-Term Growth Potential<br />
</div>
<div>
The acquisition of The Climate Corporation represents a natural extension of Monsanto’s vision to increase crop productivity, conserve more of our planet’s natural resources and improve the lives of people around the world. It will also greatly expand The Climate Corporation’s capabilities in data science, agriculture’s next major growth frontier, an area that represents a potential opportunity of $20 billion beyond Monsanto’s core focus today. The companies estimate the majority of farmers have an untapped yield opportunity of up to 30 bushels to 50 bushels in their corn fields, and they believe that advancements in data science can help further unlock that additional value for the farm. The combined capabilities will immediately expand both the near- and long-term growth opportunities of Monsanto’s Integrated Farming Systems platform and research and development pipeline in the coming years.<br />
</div>
<div>
Longer-term, the combination is expected to broaden the product choices available to farmers beyond Monsanto’s current row crop and vegetable portfolio, both inside and outside of the United States. This includes the delivery of insight and decision-support tools that could increase agriculture productivity on a billion planted acres around the globe.<br />
</div>
<div>
Monsanto and The Climate Corporation share a commitment to delivering innovation for farmers through a broad range of choices and service providers. Monsanto noted that, consistent with its broad-licensing and multi-channel approach to technology, it intends to deliver the value of The Climate Corporation’s current and future applications through its distribution network.</div>

Injecting sulphur into the stratosphere to
counteract global warming would have the dangerous side effect of
deleting polar ozone. So say researchers in the US and Germany who have
calculated that such a geo-engineering approach might delay the recovery
of the Antarctic ozone hole by decades and lead to significant losses
of ozone over the Arctic.</div>
<div class="standfirst">
<br /></div>
<div class="articleBody">
In recent years, scientists have put forward several geo-engineering
schemes to cool the planet and mitigate the effects of global warming.
One of the most popular, proposed by atmospheric chemist and Nobel
Laureate Paul Crutzen, would be to regularly inject large amounts of
sulphate particles into the stratosphere. These particles would block
the Sun's rays and cool the Earth's surface, in the same way that major
volcanic eruptions do.<br />
<br />
"Our study shows that trying to artificially cool off the planet using
global geo-engineering solutions might have dangerous side effects on
our society and all life on Earth," team member Simone Tilmes told <cite>environmentalresearchweb</cite>.
"Pumping large amounts of sulphur into the stratosphere can result in a
much thinner ozone layer for several decades, especially in the
Northern Hemisphere in winter and spring, and delay the recovery of the
ozone hole that occurs each winter over Antarctica by 30 to 70 years."<br />
<br />
Tilmes and co-workers analysed how the ozone layer thinned in the past
as aerosol content in the atmosphere varied. This included the effect of
major volcanic eruptions on ozone loss. The researchers then
extrapolated these observations into the future. Although the sulphates
from volcanoes do not directly destroy ozone, they provide a surface on
which chlorine gases – from chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), for example –
can become activated to produce chemical reactions that do destroy it.<br />
<br />
The team also looked at the effect of reduced amounts of CFCs in the
atmosphere as a result of the ban on these chemicals by industrialized
nations in the early 1990s (the Montreal Protocol). Finally, the
researchers considered what impact large quantities of particles from
geoengineering would have on ozone.<br />
<br />
The conclusion is that injecting particles into the stratosphere over
the next 20 years could temporarily reduce the ozone layer in winter and
spring by as much as 100 to 230 Dobson units, depending on the size of
the particles. Smaller particles cause greater ozone destruction. To get
an idea of the severity, the average thickness of the ozone layer in
the Northern Hemisphere is just 300 to 450 Dobson units.<br />
<br />
Tilmes and colleagues say that actual ozone depletion could differ from
these estimates if polar winters were unusually cold or warm. And more
severe ozone loss could occur if a major volcanic eruption occurred at
the same time as an injection experiment.<br />
<br />
The ozone layer is important for life on Earth because it protects
organisms from dangerous ultraviolet radiation emitted by the Sun, which
can increase the incidence of various types of cancer. <br />
"This work warns about one side effect from artificially cooling down
the planet," continued Tilmes. "However, it is important to address this
subject in more detail – our study is a projection of past atmospheric
conditions into the future, but we did not include estimates of how a
changing climate can affect atmospheric conditions. We also did not
consider the effect of geo-engineering on ozone in lower latitudes."<br />
<br />
More research is needed to understand if global geo-engineering can be accomplished safely, she added.<br />
<br />
"We should not forget that, although geo-engineering might be considered
in the future, the most important way to solve the problem of global
warming is to reduce and eventually stop the consumption of fossil
fuels," she said.<br />
<br />
The work was reported in <cite>Sciencexpress</cite>.<br />

<div class="im">
Though many of these "science studies" do not admit geoengineering is
already going on, this fact is not hard to confirm for any that do even
the slightest investigation.<br />
<br />
Numerous references are posted below this article.<br />
<br />
<b>At A Crossroad</b><br />
<br />
The
gravity of our collective crisis cannot be overstated. Current UV
metering makes clear we are now being exposed to dangerously high levels
of UV radiation, specifically UVB and UVC.<br />
The metering performed
in Northern California, on which this statement is based, was done by a
pair of identical state-of-the-art, brand-new, science-grade meters
guaranteed to be scientifically calibrated to a range within 4%. As
stated earlier in this article, the tech who did this metering is a 40-
year veteran in environmental measurement and interpretation.<br />
<br />
Here in Northern California, we are already seeing frighteningly visible
damage to foliage, trees, and plants. The ramifications of extremely
high UV levels to all life forms – including us – are grave. As the
die-off of other species go, so will we. We are in the 6th Great Mass
Extinction – right here, right now! (References below)<br />
<br />
If
geoengineering continues unabated, and the ozone layer is completely
destroyed, it will be game over for us all. No ozone layer = no life on
Earth.<br />
<br />
It's that simple.<br />
<br />
Global geoengineering is tearing apart the entire fabric of life on our
planet.
• Geoengineering is poisoning our air, waters, and soils.
• Geoengineering is pushing increasingly erratic atmospheric processes
resulting from human-propelled climate change past the Chaos threshold
into unpredictable, self-reinforcing, cascading events.
• Geoengineering is disrupting the jetstream and all natural weather
patterns, which in turn is fueling catastrophic climate feedback loops –
the most dire of which are mass methane hydrate releases from the
Arctic tundra and seafloor.
• Geoengineering is destroying the stratospheric solar radiation
shielding, which protects all life on Earth. <br />
Alarmism?<br />
<br />
Do your own honest investigation and find out.<br />
<br />
Global
awareness of these lethal programs is rising quickly, but not fast
enough. Its up to all of us to help shine the light on this
life-or-death issue.<br />
<br />
Every day counts.</div>

<br />
The Science paper notes that loss of ice in
the Artic threatens to release significant amounts of carbon dioxide and
methane from the soils of Siberia and Northern Alaska, potentially
accelerating climate change. The researchers also note that an
increasingly cited remedy for climate change—geo-engineering the climate
by launching sulfate particles directly into the atmosphere in order to
reflect sunlight away from Earth—would accelerate the process of ozone
loss by increasing the reactive surface area for the conversion of
chlorine to free radical form, as was observed after the eruption of
Mount Pinatubo in 1991.<br />

UVB: a band of ultraviolet radiation with wavelengths from 280-320 nanometers produced by the Sun<br />
<br />
UVB is a kind of ultraviolet light from the sun (and sun lamps) that has
several harmful effects. UVB is particularly effective at damaging DNA.
It is a cause of melanoma and other types of skin cancer. It has also
been linked to damage to some materials, crops, and marine organisms.
The ozone layer protects the Earth against most UVB coming from the sun.
It is always important to protect oneself against UVB, even in the
absence of ozone depletion, by wearing hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen.
However, these precautions will become more important as ozone depletion
worsens. NASA provides more information on their web site<br />
<br />
UVC: a band of ultraviolet radiation with wavelengths shorter than 280 nanometers<br />
<br />
UVC
is extremely dangerous, but it is completely absorbed by ozone and
normal oxygen (O2).<br />

<b>GEOENGINEERING WOULD DESTROY THE OZONE LAYER</b><br />
<br />
A Geo-engineering conference was held in Canberra this week see here.
‘Geo-engineering’ is taking radical steps to dramatically and rapidly
cool the planet. One of the ideas being discussed at the conference is
to fire sulfa particles into the atmosphere, one professor has spoken
out about this:<br />
Professor David Karoly, of the University of
Melbourne’s School of Earth Sciences, says another ‘pie in the sky’
solution is to shoot sulfur particles in the atmosphere to shield the
earth from the sun.<br />
He says that would destroy the ozone layer.<br />
“Ozone depletion would cause more UV radiation which would cause skin cancers – killing people,” he said.<br />
“We know the mechanism for this, because it’s the process that affects the Antarctic ozone hole.”<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Professor Colin Pritchard's latest research published in journal <em>Public Health</em>
has found that the sharp rise of dementia and other neurological deaths
in people under 74 cannot be put down to the fact that we are living
longer. The rise is because a higher proportion of old people are being
affected by such conditions -- and what is really alarming, it is
starting earlier and affecting people under 55 years.</span>

<span style="font-size: large;">Of the 10 biggest Western countries the USA had the worst increase in
all neurological deaths, men up 66% and women 92% between 1979-2010.
The UK was 4th highest, men up 32% and women 48%. In terms of numbers of
deaths, in the UK, it was 4,500 and now 6,500, in the USA it was 14,500
now more than 28,500 deaths. </span></div>
<div id="seealso">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Professor Pritchard of Bournemouth University says: "These statistics
are about real people and families, and we need to recognise that there
is an 'epidemic' that clearly is influenced by environmental and
societal changes."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">Tessa Gutteridge, Director YoungDementia UK says that our society
needs to learn that dementia is increasingly affecting people from an
earlier age: "The lives of an increasing number of families struggling
with working-age dementia are made so much more challenging by services
which fail to keep pace with their needs and a society which believes
dementia to be an illness of old age."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">Bournemouth University researchers, Professor Colin Pritchard and Dr
Andrew Mayers, along with the University of Southampton's Professor
David Baldwin show that there are rises in total neurological deaths,
including the dementias, which are starting earlier, impacting upon
patients, their families and health and social care services,
exemplified by an 85% increase in UK Motor Neurone Disease deaths.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">The research highlights that there is an alarming 'hidden epidemic'
of rises in neurological deaths between 1979-2010 of adults (under 74)
in Western countries, especially the UK.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">Total neurological deaths in both men and women rose significantly in
16 of the countries covered by the research, which is in sharp contrast
to the major reductions in deaths from all other causes.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">Over the period the UK has the third biggest neurological increase,
up 32% in men and 48% in women, whilst women's neurological deaths rose
faster than men's in most countries.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">Professor Pritchard said, "These rises in neurological deaths, with
the earlier onset of the dementias, are devastating for families and
pose a considerable public health problem. It is NOT that we have more
old people but rather more old people have more brain disease than ever
before, including Alzheimer's. For example there are two new British
charities, The Young Parkinson's Society and Young Dementia UK, which
are a grass-roots response to these rises. The need for such charities
would have been inconceivable a little more than 30 years ago."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">When asked what he thought caused the increases he replied, "This has
to be speculative but it cannot be genetic because the period is too
short. Whilst there will be some influence of more elderly people, it
does not account for the earlier onset; the differences between
countries nor the fact that more women have been affected, as their
lives have changed more than men's over the period, all indicates
multiple environmental factors. Considering the changes over the last 30
years -- the explosion in electronic devices, rises in background
non-ionising radiation- PC's, micro waves, TV's, mobile phones; road and
air transport up four-fold increasing background petro-chemical
pollution; chemical additives to food etc. There is no one factor rather
the likely interaction between all these environmental triggers,
reflecting changes in other conditions. For example, whilst cancer
deaths are down substantially, cancer incidence continues to rise;
levels of asthma are un-precedented; the fall in male sperm counts --
the rise of auto-immune diseases -- all point to life-style and
environmental influences. These `statistics' are about real people and
families, and we need to recognise that there is an `epidemic' that
clearly is influenced by environmental and societal changes."</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><br /></strong>Good
afternoon. My name is Sandra Steingraber. I’m a biologist and a
Distinguished Scholar in Residence at Ithaca College. I’m 53 years old
and the mother of an 11-year-old son and a 14-year-old daughter. I’m
married to an art teacher, and we all live in the village of
Trumansburg, which is about 15 miles to the northeast, as the crow
flies.Sandra Steingraber. (Portrait by Robert Shetterly / Americans Who
Tell the Truth)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />On March 18, 2013, together with 11 other local
residents, I stood in the driveway of this site, which is owned by the
Kansas City-based energy company called Inergy and located on the west
bank of Seneca Lake. In so doing, I broke the law and am charged with
trespassing. Before my arrest, I and the others with whom I linked arms,
temporarily blocked a truck carrying a drill head from going where it
wanted to go. This is my first experience with civil disobedience. Here
is an explanation of my actions.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />First, and most importantly, this
act of civil disobedience is a last resort for me. Prior to this, I and
other community members have taken every legal avenue to raise the
serious health, economic, and environmental concerns associated with the
Inergy plant. However, time and again, we’ve been deterred from
participating in the decision-making process. For example, Inergy has
declared the geological history of the salt caverns to be proprietary
business information, so that much of the basic science on the
structural integrity of the salt caverns is hidden from view. How can we
offer informed public comments and raise scientific objection when we
are denied this fundamental information?</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />Inergy has asked for
fast-track FERC approval and that we fear that authorities are poised to
rubber stamp these applications before the public has had a chance to
review all the relevant information and the full impacts of these
combined projects have been considered.<br />This act of civil
disobedience was also undertaken to bring attention to the fact that
this company has been out of compliance with the Clean Water Act every
quarter for the last 12 quarters—which is as far back as the data
go–exceeding its effluent discharge limit. For this behavior, the
company has been fined, not once, but twice, to the tune of over
$30,000.<br />Effluent discharge means that the company dumps chemicals
directly into Seneca Lake, which is a source of drinking water for
100,000 people.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />It is my belief that paying trivial fines does not
excuse the crime of salting the lake. And it’s because I have such a
high respect for the rule of law that I will be choosing not to pay a
fine for my act of trespassing and will instead will show responsibility
by accepting a jail sentence.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />Second, I seek by my actions to shine a
spotlight on the dangerous practice of converting abandoned salt
caverns into storage containers for highly pressurized hydrocarbon
gases, namely propane and butane. Legal or not, this practice is
tantamount to burying giant cigarette lighters in the earth.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />This
form of liquefied petroleum gas storage has a troubled safety record.
Leaks, explosions, and collapses have occurred in at least ten other
places. Additionally, the fleets of diesel trucks and the planned 60 ft.
high flare stack—even absent calamitous accidents—will add hazardous
air pollutants to our communities. Thus, my small, non-violent act of
trespass is set against a larger, more violent one: the trespass of
hazardous chemicals into water and air and thereby into our bodies. This
is a form of toxic trespass.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />Lastly, I desire to bring attention to
the rapid build-out of fracking infrastructure in New York. Even as we
are engaged in a statewide conversation about whether our governor
should maintain or lift the current moratorium on shale gas extraction
via horizontal fracking in New York, technology that further entrenches
our dependency on shale gas—pipelines, storage, compressor stations,
processing plants—is being rapidly deployed. These infrastructure
investments make fracking in New York State more likely and aid and abet
fracking in other states, where it is associated with sickness and
misery among people causes devastation to land, water, and air quality.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />In
a time of climate emergency, the transformation of the Finger Lakes
into a massive transportation and storage hub for climate-destroying
fossil fuel gases that have been fracked out shale in other states is
the absolute wrong form of development.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />I am a biologist, not a lawyer. But when I looked up my crime on Wikipedia, here is what it said:<br />Trespass
to land involves the wrongful interference with one’s possessory rights
in [real] property. William Blackstone’s Commentaries on the Laws of
England articulated the common law principle… translating from Latin as
“for whoever owns the soil, it is theirs up to Heaven and down to Hell.”
In modern times, courts have limited the right of absolute dominion
over the subsurface. For instance, drilling a directional well that
bottoms out beneath another’s property to access oil and gas reserves is
trespass, but a subsurface invasion by hydraulic fracturing is not
[emphasis added].</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />In other words, trespassing laws are unjust. They
make a criminals of people who stand on a lakeshore purchased by an
out-of-state fossil fuel company only interested in the hollowed out
salt chambers that lie 1500 feet beneath the surface, while, at the same
time, allowing drilling and fracking operations to tunnel freely under
homes, farms, and aquifers, shatter our bedrock, and pump the shards
full of toxic chemicals.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />I broke the law by standing in a privately
owned driveway. Fossil fuel companies are not breaking the law by
trespassing into the atmosphere with heat-trapping gases and so creating
planetary crisis. There are the disparities that I seek to communicate
with my actions and, out of respect for the fidelity of law, with my
willingness to accept a jail sentence rather than pay a fine.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />As a working mother of two school-aged children, this is a decision I have reached after much discernment.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

of Sloan-Kettering Institute and Dr. Emmanuel Mandel of the Jewish Chronic
Disease Hospital in 1963 and funded by the U.S. Public Health Service and the
American Cancer Society, raised concern within PHS and brought about an
investigation by the hospital. Drs. Mandel and Southam were subject to a
disciplinary hearing before the Board of Regents of the University of the State
of New York. The hospital's internal review and a suit against the hospital
prompted concern and debate at the NIH. Edward J. Rourke, Assistant General

ethical, moral, and legal aspects of clinical investigation" at its meetings of
September and December 1965. Terry's interest in this was motivated in part by

the 1962 Drug Amendments were not applicable to nondrug-related research. See

28 . Beecher's criticism involved many aspects of
the research, including the risk assessment, usefulness of the research, and
the question of informed consent. On this last point, Beecher argued that
while consent was important, he disputed the belief that it was easily
obtainable. In his talk at Brook Lodge, Beecher questioned the "naive
assumption implicit in the Nuremberg Code," that consent was readily
obtainable. Beecher indicated the difficulty of obtaining truly informed
consent may have led many researchers to treat the provision cavalierly and
often to ignore it. Henry K. Beecher, "Ethics and the Explosion of Human

concluded, reflect the proposition that the Nuremberg Code is a "document
fundamentally about nontherapeutic experimentation." Thus, the "types of
experiments that U.S. judges have found the Nuremberg Code useful for setting
standards have involved nontherapeutic experiments often conducted without
consent. . . . Many of these experiments were justified by national security
considerations and the cold war." George J. Annas, "The Nuremberg Code in U.S.

<h1>
<span style="font-size: small;"> All information containing new and unprecedented
conclusions begins by being violently opposed by those who create the
prior information and those who subscribe heavily to it. This is very
much the case with the link between Autism Spectrum Disorder and
vaccines; mainly the MMR vaccine and other thimerosal-containing
vaccines.</span></h1>
<a href="http://rasica.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/skull-vaccine.jpg"></a><br />
It is clear that the stance from mainstream science is that there is
no link between vaccines and autism. You can find more about that <a href="http://www.webmd.com/brain/autism/news/20130329/another-study-sees-no-vaccine-autism-link" target="_blank">here</a>.
But for many people this does not dispel all concern. Dr. Hooker, PhD,
PE says that the recent U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) study on vaccines and autism is “perhaps the most flawed and
disingenuous study” he has ever encountered.<br />
<br />
Given the number of firsthand cases that make their rounds stating
that children are immediately affected by certain vaccines, and parents
are noticing something is ‘wrong’ suddenly with their child, it is easy
to see why people are still concerned. In every vaccine and autism link
article we have on CE, there are many comments from parents stating that
they watched their child change within hours and days of getting
certain vaccines. So is there truly reason to be concerned? Are we just
paranoid? Or is there something we have not figured out completely yet?<br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a><br />
Regardless of the droves of faithful people hanging onto every word the
CDC gives them about the safety of vaccines, I think it is incredibly
important that we look at all of the information that truly exists and
make our own educated decision. Many claim it is dangerous to question
vaccines, and I have been threatened on many occasions for writing about
it, but it isn’t going to take away the fact that people are being
damaged by vaccines. That is a cold hard fact that every parent needs to
know before deciding to vaccinate their child.<br />
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://rasica.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/governmenthealthcare-jpg.jpeg"><br /></a></div>
The truth is, there have been several court cases where families have
been granted damage payouts due to what vaccines and their ingredients
have done to their children. The cases are directly linked to autism and
brain damage, and each injury has been deemed “caused by vaccines.”
Below I have supplied three links to court cases. Please take the time
to check out each one to understand them further.<br />

<br />
Is there more evidence linking vaccines to autism? Yes. While some
studies exist to state that there is no link between vaccines and
autism, I have found several that do show a link.<br />
<br />
Given the existence of these studies and their results, I think we
need to truly examine whether or not vaccines are safe and if it makes
sense for us to blindly follow what we are told to do when it comes to
vaccines regardless of the dangers.<br />
<br />
I can already hear the comments that will come in from people stating
the dangers of this post and that this is some conspiracy, but it is
not. Realize that this is much more of a real and serious issue than
many think.<br />
<br />
Below is what I have come across in terms of studies, thanks to the
tireless research of people out there who care about uncovering the
truth.<br />

<b>Viral / Immune studies:</b><br />
<a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12145534" target="_blank">Abnormal measles-mumps-rubella antibodies and CNS autoimmunity in children with autism</a> Autoimmunity
to the central nervous system (CNS), especially to myelin basic protein
(MBP), may play a causal role in autism, a neurodevelopmental disorder.
Because many autistic children harbor elevated levels of measles
antibodies, we conducted a serological study of measles-mumps-rubella<br />
(MMR) and MBP autoantibodies.<br />
….over 90% of MMR antibody-positive autistic sera were also positive
for MBP autoantibodies, suggesting a strong association between MMR and
CNS autoimmunity in autism. Stemming from this evidence, we suggest that
an inappropriate antibody response to MMR, specifically the measles
component thereof, might be related to pathogenesis of autism.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9756729" target="_blank">Serological association of measles virus and human herpes virus-6 with brain auto-antibodies in autism</a><br />
This study is the first to report an association between virus
serology and brain autoantibody in autism; it supports the hypothesis
that a virus-induced autoimmune response may play a causal role in
autism.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21993250" target="_blank">Hypothesis: conjugate vaccines may predispose children to autism spectrum disorders</a><br />
Conjugate vaccines fundamentally change the manner in which the
immune systems of infants and young children function by deviating their
immune responses to the targeted carbohydrate antigens from a state of
hypo-responsiveness to a robust B2 B cell mediated response.<br />
<br />
This period of hypo-responsiveness to carbohydrate antigens coincides
with the intense myelination process in infants and young children, and
conjugate vaccines may have disrupted evolutionary forces that favored
early brain development over the need to protect infants and young
children from capsular bacteria.<br />

had any allergy-related respiratory symptom in the past 12 months was

associations between vaccination and subsequent allergies and symptoms
were greatest among children aged 5 through 10 years.<br />

Review is made of 107 cases of neurological complications of
pertussis inoculation reported in the literature. The early onset of
neurological symptoms was characteristic, with changes of consciousness
and convulsions as the most striking features. The question of aetiology
is considered and contraindications are discussed….as is the grave
danger of further inoculations when a previous one has produced any
suggestion of a neurological reaction.<br />

Our results show that: (i) children from countries with the highest

(ii) the increase in exposure to Al adjuvants significantly correlates
with the increase in ASD prevalence in the United States observed over

Curt Linderman speaks with Dr. Russel Blaylock about the devastating
health effects of the chemtrails and geoengineering policies, which have
been implemented in secret without public consent.<br />

<h3>
<a href="http://www.thenhf.com/article.php?id=3298" target="_blank">Chemtrails, Nanoaluminum and Neurodegenerative and Neurodevelopmental Effects</a></h3>
By Russell L. Blaylock, M.D.<br />
<br />
The Internet is littered with stories of “chemtrails” and
geoengineering to combat “global warming” and until recently I took
these stories with a grain of salt. One of the main reasons for my
skepticism was that I rarely saw what they were describing in the skies.
But over the past several years I have notice a great number of these
trails and I have to admit they are not like the contrails I grew up
seeing in the skies. They are extensive, quite broad, are laid in a
definite pattern and slowly evolve into artificial clouds. Of particular
concern is that there are now so many dozens every day are littering
the skies.<br />
<br />
My major concern is that there is evidence that they are spraying
tons of nanosized aluminum compounds. It has been demonstrated in the
scientific and medical literature that nanosized particles are
infinitely more reactive and induce intense inflammation in a number of
tissues. Of special concern is the effect of these nanoparticles on the
brain and spinal cord, as a growing list of neurodegenerative diseases,
including Alzheimer’s dementia, Parkinson’s disease and Lou Gehrig’s
disease (ALS) are strongly related to exposure to environmental
aluminum.<br />
<br />
Nanoparticles of aluminum are not only infinitely more inflammatory,
they also easily penetrate the brain by a number of routes, including
the blood and olfactory nerves (the smell nerves in the nose). Studies
have shown that these particles pass along the olfactory neural tracts,
which connect directly to the area of the brain that is not only most
effected by Alzheimer’s disease, but also the earliest affected in the
course of the disease. It also has the highest level of brain aluminum
in Alzheimer’s cases.<br />
<br />
The intranasal route of exposure makes spraying of massive amounts of
nanoaluminum into the skies especially hazardous, as it will be inhaled
by people of all ages, including babies and small children for many
hours. We know that older people have the greatest reaction to this
airborne aluminum. Because of the nanosizing of the aluminum particles
being used, home filtering system will not remove the aluminum, thus
prolonging exposure, even indoors.<br />
<br />
<div class="wdca_ad_item wdca_custom_ad">
<div class="wdca_ad_body_full">
<a href="http://consciouslifenews.com/cln-newsletter-signup-bonuses/" target="_blank"></a>
</div>
</div>
In addition to inhaling nanoaluminum, such spraying will saturate the
ground, water and vegetation with high levels of aluminum. Normally,
aluminum is poorly absorbed from the GI tract, but nanoaluminum is
absorbed in much higher amounts. This absorbed aluminum has been shown
to be distributed to a number of organs and tissues including the brain
and spinal cord. Inhaling this environmentally suspended nanoaluminum
will also produce tremendous inflammatory reaction within the lungs,
which will pose a significant hazard to children and adults with asthma
and pulmonary diseases.<br />
<br />
I pray that the pilots who are spraying this dangerous substance
fully understand that they are destroying the life and health of their
families as well. This is also true of our political officials. Once the
soil, plants and water sources are heavily contaminated there will be
no way to reverse the damage that has been done.<br />
<br />
Steps need to be taken now to prevent an impending health disaster of
enormous proportions if this project is not stopped immediately.
Otherwise we will see an explosive increase in neurodegenerative
diseases occurring in adults and the elderly in unprecedented rates as
well as neurodevelopmental disorders in our children. We are already
seeing a dramatic increase in these neurological disorders and it is
occurring in younger people than ever before.<br />

Barbara Ludy can no longer work because of the disease. </div>
</div>
</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
But his most life-threatening encounter has been with
coccidioidomycosis, or valley fever, for which he is being treated here.
Coccidioidomycosis, known as “cocci,” is an insidious airborne fungal
disease in which microscopic spores in the soil take flight on the wind
or even a mild breeze to lodge in the moist habitat of the lungs and, in
the most extreme instances, spread to the bones, the skin, the eyes or,
in Mr. Klorman’s case, the brain. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
The infection, which the <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/" title="C.D.C. Web site.">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention</a>
has labeled “a silent epidemic,” is striking more people each year,
with more than 20,000 reported cases annually throughout the Southwest,
especially in California and Arizona. Although most people exposed to
the fungus do not fall ill, about 160 die from it each year, with
thousands more facing years of disability and surgery. About 9 percent
of those infected will contract pneumonia and 1 percent will experience
serious complications beyond the lungs. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
The disease is named for the San Joaquin Valley, a cocci hot spot, where
the same soil that produces the state’s agricultural bounty can turn
traitorous. The “silent epidemic” became less silent last week when a
federal judge ordered the state to transfer about 2,600 vulnerable
inmates — including some with H.I.V. — out of two of the valley’s eight
state prisons, about 90 miles north of here. In 2011, those prisons,
Avenal and Pleasant Valley, produced 535 of the 640 reported inmate
cocci cases, and throughout the system, yearly costs for hospitalization
for cocci exceed $23 million. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
The transfer, affecting about a third of the two prisons’ combined
population, is to be completed in 90 days, a challenge to a prison
system already contending with a federal mandate to reduce overcrowding.
Jose Antonio Diaz, 44, who has diabetes and was recently relocated to
Avenal, is feeling “very scared of catching it,” said his wife, Suzanne
Moreno. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
Advocates for prisoners have criticized state agencies for not moving
the inmates sooner. “If this were a factory, a public university or a
hotel — anything except a prison — they would shut these two places
down,” said Donald Specter, the executive director of the <a href="http://www.prisonlaw.com/" title="Prison Law Office Web site.">Prison Law Office</a>, which provides free legal assistance to inmates. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
The pending transfer has underscored the complexities and mysteries of a
disease that continues to baffle physicians and scientists. In Arizona,
a study from the <a href="http://www.azdhs.gov/phs/oids/epi/disease/cocci/" title="Arizona Department of Health Services.">Department of Health Services</a>
showed a 25 percent risk of African-Americans with newly diagnosed
valley fever developing complications, compared with 6 percent of
whites. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
“The working hypothesis has to do with genetic susceptibility, probably
the interrelationships of genes involved in the immune system,” said Dr.
John N. Galgiani, a professor at the University of Arizona and the
director of the <a href="https://www.vfce.arizona.edu/" title="The center s Web site.">Valley Fever Center for Excellence</a>, founded in 1996. “But which ones? We’re clueless.” </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
Kandis Watson, whose son Kaden, 8, almost died, had a gut feeling that
“something was not right,” she said, when Kaden began feeling sick two
years ago. The pediatrician prescribed antibiotics, but Kaden’s health
deteriorated, with a golf ball-size mass developing at the base of his
neck. The infection enveloped Kaden’s chest, narrowing his trachea.
</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
Kaden was essentially breathing through an opening the size of a straw,
said Dr. James M. McCarty, the medical director of pediatric infectious
diseases at <a href="http://www.childrenscentralcal.org/Pages/Default.aspx" title="Children s Hospital Central California Web site.">Children’s Hospital Central California</a>
in Madera, where Kaden spent six months. Today the boy is back to his
mischievous self, surreptitiously placing a green plastic lizard in his
mother’s hair. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
But how he contracted valley fever is still guesswork. “I think he got
it being a boy, digging in the dirt,” Mrs. Watson said. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
Kern County, where Bakersfield is located, had more than 1,800 reported cases last year. At <a href="http://www.kernmedicalcenter.com/" title="Kern Medical Center Web site.">Kern Medical Center</a>,
Dr. Royce H. Johnson and his colleagues have a roster of nearly 2,000
patients. Many, like Mr. Klorman, have life-threatening cocci
meningitis. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
“I got a bad break,” said Mr. Klorman, who is known as Joe. Until
illness forced his retirement, he preferred a squad car to a desk job.
Now he travels four hours round trip three times a week so Dr. Johnson
can inject a powerful antifungal drug into his spinal fluid. In other
patients, the disease has been known to eat away ribs and vertebrae.
</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
“It destroys lives,” said Dr. Johnson, whose daughter contracted a mild
form. “Divorces, lost jobs and bankruptcy are incredibly common, not to
mention psychological dislocation.” </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
Once athletic, Deandre Zillendor, 38, dropped to 145 pounds from 220 in
two weeks, and lesions erupted on his face and body. “You keep it
forever, like luggage,” he said of the disease. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
Todd Schaefer, 48, who produces award-winning pinot noirs in Paso
Robles, was told by his doctors that he had 10 years to live. That was
10 years ago. But valley fever has disseminated into his spinal column
and brain, and his conversation is interrupted by grimaces of pain.
Ruggedly handsome, he still outwardly resembles the archetype of the
California good life. But Mr. Schaefer has had a stroke, a hole in his
lung, two serious heart episodes and relapses that “put me on the edge
of life,” he said.

Ms. Ludy takes several pills a day to treat a serious case of cocci. </div>
</div>
</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
He believes he got infected with valley fever atop a tractor during the
construction of Pacific Coast Vineyards, which he runs with his wife,
Tammy. One doctor initially suggested bed rest, chicken soup and
cranberry juice. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
Today Mr. Schaefer can no longer can drink wine, and he begins every
morning retching. “I told her to leave me,” he said at one low point, of
his wife, who is 37. “She’s too young, too beautiful.” </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
Dr. Benjamin Park, a medical officer with the C.D.C., said that the
numbers of cases are “under-estimates” because some states do not
require public reporting. They include Texas, where valley fever is
endemic along the Rio Grande. In New Mexico, a 2010 survey of doctors
and clinics by the state’s public health department revealed that 69
percent of clinicians did not consider it in patients with respiratory
problems. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
Numbers spike when rainfall is followed by dry spells. Many scientists
believe that the uptick in infections is related to changing climate
patterns. Kenneth K. Komatsu, the state epidemiologist for Arizona,
where 13,000 cases were reported last year, said that another factor may
be urban sprawl: “digging up rural areas where valley fever is growing
in the soil,” he said. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
In Avenal, citizens have become activists, looking into possible
environmental factors, including a regional landfill that accepts
construction waste. Three of the four children of James McGee, a
teacher, have contracted the disease, including Marivi, 17, who was
found convulsing in the ladies’ room at school. Dr. McCarty of
Children’s Hospital is seeing an increasing number of children from
Avenal. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
Valley fever was a familiar presence during the Dust Bowl, and in
Japanese internment camps throughout the arid West. Yet there is still
no cure, and research on a fungicide and a potential vaccine have been
stalled by financing issues. One company, Nielsen Biosciences Inc., has
developed a skin test to identify cocci but has not yet been able to
make it financially viable. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
Part of the difficulty is that cocci is “a hundred different diseases,”
Dr. Johnson said, depending on where in the body it nests. His patients
include farm workers, oil field workers and construction workers.
</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
One of his patients, Barbara Ludy, 61, had a job that involved taking
care of a man who is quadriplegic. She was strong enough to lift his
175-pound frame, plus his wheelchair, into a van. Cocci meningitis
affected her ability to think, to remember, to walk, to live
independently. When her weight dropped to 71 pounds, her distraught
daughters went to Goodwill to buy their mother size zero clothes.
</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
One daughter, Jennifer Gillet, now takes care of her mother full time.
Ms. Ludy is recuperating, slowly. And things are looking up: She is now a
size 10. </div>
