Chemtrails - Peanut Butter And Barium Sandwiches
The Chemistry Of The Modern Sky

By Nicholas Jones 
Earth Day 2002
>From 100777.com - Truthseekers Newsletter #12

Earth Day approaches. A time for appreciation, reflection and action.
Activists mobilize to defend the responsible stewardship of this precious
blue
sphere. Global warming remains the big issue on the podium and in Big Media.
But the focus on chimney stacks and car exhaust rising from the ground is
distracting world attention from a far more apocalyptic operation underway
in
the sky: global warming mitigation. While environmentalists have long argued
that a warm, fuzzy blanket of greenhouse gas threatens to melt polar ice
caps,
one of the most ambitious global engineering initiatives in earth's history
may have already started above and over our heads.

Evidence is now literally floating in the air for various projects underway,
documented by patents and confirmed by whistleblowers, in militaryspeak:
aerial spraying, scattering and chaff operations. We, mere mortals on the
ground, may use the term "chemtrails", and without Our consent, it appears
that heavy metals are being released into the upper atmosphere at an
alarming
rate - to save us from ourselves - as proposed in a paper delivered before
the
22nd International Seminar on Planetary Emergencies, in 1997, by E. Teller
et
al.

The author, to be more precise, is 'E' for Edward, preceded by 'Dr.', the
co-father of the H-Bomb and darling savant of the US Department of Defense
and
the military-industrial-academic establishment, the same Dr. T who in the
50's
invented a perky little radiation mascot, Readi Killowat, while proposing to
create artificial harbours by nuking the coastline. Although we got the
bomb,
thankfully, the glowing harbours never got the green light. But on April 24,
2001, the New York Times confirmed that he had indeed "promoted the idea of
manipulating the earth's atmosphere to counteract global warming." The Spin:
a
lining of aluminum chaff scattered into the upper atmosphere to create a sun
screen - like a giant emergency blanket wrapping the earth - to reflect UV
radiation back into space and save the world!

Brilliant! A chrome-plated planet. But here's the catch: What goes up, must
come down. Over three months, three separate rainwater and snow samples from
Chapel Hill, North Carolina were collected and submitted for 'double-blind'
laboratory analysis in March, 2002. Tests were ordered for several elements
which should not be present in normal rain or snow. The result was
devastating
news about the health of our ecosystem: all samples consistently revealed
enough of the following materials to indicate that they were present in the
atmosphere "in large amounts... and concentrated form" through a "very
controlled delivery (dispersion)," primarily: aluminum and barium.

Follow the chemical trail, from A-Z. Aluminum, inhaled or ingested, as we
have
all been warned, makes us forget the warnings that aluminum makes us
forget.... in other words: Aluminum - bad. Barium compounds that dissolve
well
in water (like rain) will cause a whole host of symptoms, from breathing
difficulties to brain swelling. Barium is hygroscopic, a dessicant or drying
agent: itchy eyes, burning throat, asthma, allergies, nose and lung bleeds.
Barium - really bad. Just ask Readi Kilowatt's chemical counterpart, Mr.
Yuk!
Most of us will remember the mean, green man who stopped us from downing a
bottle of Bleach when we were six. The Mr. Yuk for our corner of earth is
technically the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) in the south, and
Environment Canada, where it snows. However, barium hasn't even been
classified by the EPA with respect to human carcinogenity because no studies
have even been done on people. Surprisingly, aluminum is also a no show on
the
list of haza!
rdous air pollutants.

But check any Material Safety Data Sheet and you'll find barium clearly
marked: "DANGER! MAY BE FATAL IF SWALLOWED" with the "Health Rating: 3 -
Severe (Life)". Hey kids, bring out your "GOGGLES and GLOVES" Mr. Yuk's
taking
you on a picnic! But, here's the scary part, on the same Data Sheet, under
Environmental Toxicity: "No information found". Barium has twenty times more
chronic lethality than the worse organic-chlorinated pesticide (private
interview with R. Mike Castle, Nationally Accredited Environmental Risk
Auditor). Confusing? Not really - nobody with enough acuity to read has been
reckless enough to intentionally release barium into the ecosystem. Until
now.

When anhydrous barium (mon)oxide reacts with water, forming barium hydroxide
(commonly known as soluble barium salts), the chemical reaction liberates a
lot of heat. And where there's heat, there's fire. Let's connect the dots.
Follow closely: February 17, 2002 UP Science News headlines, "Pollution
drying
up rainfall" - when particles are too small to seed nice fat raindrops, "the
clouds that do form... have a hard time to rain." These tiny particles are
called "aerosols" by scientists, and long term exposure is now "an important
environmental risk factor for cardiopulmonary and lung cancer mortality"
(Journal of the American Medical Association). Bad news for the humans.

It gets worse for the earth, and here's where the heat turns up: a third of
the United States and even vast tracts of Canadian Prairie are suffering
from
acute drought conditions, some of the worst shortages in years. Rivers are
literally drying up. Reservoirs are at record low levels. New York has
declared a drought emergency. Montana is officially a drought disaster area.
Even the UN warns of severe water shortages by 2025 - globally. Back to the
lab: barium has a much lower "specific heat" value of 0.19 as compared to
air
(1.003) and water (4.184). When introduced at higher altitudes, barium will
have a net effect of increasing the temperature of the atmosphere. Ergo: it
gets hot and dry.

Why would anyone want to do that to the earth? Ask the military: In 2025 (a
familiar date), US aerospace forces plan to "own the weather" by
"capitalizing
on emerging technologies and focusing development of those technologies to
war-fighting applications."(The Weather as a Force Multiplier, August 1996).
In a summary table, under the column "DEGRADE ENEMY FORCES", among all the
nasty options we find: "Precipitation Denial - Induce Drought". The smoking
gun, not surprisingly always sits on the rack in a Department of Defense
pick
up truck. Technicians working at the Tesla Center, Wright Patterson Air
Force
Base, in Dayton, Ohio, have positively identified aluminum, barium, polymer
webs with melanin, ethylene glycol-based monoacrylates and other heavy
metals
used extensively for weather modification projects for years (R. Mike
Castle).

What a wicked, tangled web it is - literally. And here's where we find the
other half of our sandwich: DYN-O-Gel. Sounds like a product Ronco might
distribute, but it is actually the trade name for cross-linked aqueous
polymer, US Patent 6,315,213 awarded two years ago to one Peter Cordani -
when
dispersed into a storm it forms a gelatinous substance which falls to the
ground, "thus diminishing the clouds ability to rain." Dial-O-Matic in the
weather!

And if you took your Pocket Fisherman to Florida Bay last month, you would
have probably caught some of those "gelatinous blobs floating in it and
spider-web-like filaments." In January, fishermen in the Bay of Mexico began
to report on a zone of lifeless water, about the size of Lake Athabasca,
they
dubbed "black water". By early April, divers off Key West found dead and
dying
sponges, a trail of devastation and no answers. Clearly, none of the baffled
marine biologists read Woman's World magazine: an article in the March 19
edition proudly announced that a Florida research firm had discovered "a
powder that will give you perfect weather every day," and that in a
top-secret
test, this weather wonder drug was scattered over a storm by military
planes.
The company spokesman: Peter Cordani. The product: DYN-O-Gel. The Spin: it
will "protect the lives of millions, but it'll protect your leisure time,
too."

The most plausible explanation for "black water": a recent real world test
on
a hurricane released enough Gel into the atmosphere to kill everything in
the
sea below. What goes up, must come down. So what about humans breathing in
this miracle product? Mike Castle explains how these fine acrylic acrylate
powders will suck all the moisture from your lungs, sticking the insides
together - in two words: "extremely toxic". Not advised.

Mr. Yuk take cover! The scientists are playing God but there are no
environmental impact assessments for these compounds or any other kinds of
weather manipulation chemistry. So why are they being sprayed into our
skies?

Look Up! Connect the Dots. Follow the Patents. Smell the Air. Taste the
Water.
Control the Spin. Tell Everyone. The Truth is Copyright Free.

FDA Says It Won't Regulate Implanted ID Chip
Tue Oct 22, 5:30 PM ET

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Sales of an identification chip intended to be
implanted in a person's body will resume immediately now that the US Food
and
Drug Administration (news - web sites) (FDA) has completed its review of the
device, the chip's maker Applied Digital Solutions Inc. announced Tuesday.
The company made headlines this spring after a Florida family became the
first
ever to be implanted with VeriChip. The device, about the size of a grain of
rice, is implanted under the skin and works by emitting a radio frequency
that
transmits a unique verification number. The company says the chips could
eventually replace medical alert bracelets and cards of the sort that alert
emergency medical personnel to conditions such as allergies. Palm Beach,
Florida-based Applied Digital Solutions said it received a letter from the
FDA
ruling that VeriChip is not a regulated medical device "for security,
financial and personal identification/safety applications." The decision
clears the way for the company to market and distribute VeriChip for those
purposes. Applied Digital said it voluntarily suspended its marketing of the
device in the US 5 months ago pending FDA review.

U.S. Military Proposes Illegal Bioweapons Research
by Russ Kick

Village Voice, 10 May 2002

According to documents unearthed by a nonprofit government watchdog, the
United States military has proposed the development of biological weapons
that
would violate international treaties and federal law. In fact, they may have
already developed some of these illegal, treaty-busting bioweapons. Using
the
Freedom of Information Act, the Sunshine Project has recently pried loose
some
damning documents from the Marine Corps, which seems to be overseeing this
area of research.

Biological
warfare means the use of disease to do the same thing. This includes any
microorganism, virus or bioactive substance that can be delivered by
conventional warhead or even civilian means.

Large Sunspot "162" So Large, Visible With Naked Eye...
by AstroAlert News & Mitch Battros (ECTV)

10/22/02

A large sunspot complex has rotated into view around the northeastern limb
of
the Sun over the last several days. This spot complex is believed to have
been
responsible for a major coronal mass ejection off the east limb of the Sun
on
14 October while it was still on the back side of the Sun (see
http://www.spacew.com/astroalert.html  for details). At the present time,
the 
spot complex does not appear to be a highly probable source of major solar
flare activity. But this does not preclude the possibility of observing
another coronal mass ejection from the area of this sunspot.

This spot complex has the size to become visible to the unaided (but
protected) eye, particularly as it rotates toward the central region of the
solar disc over the next 2 to 3 days.
A single comprehensive web page that is dynamically updated every 1 to 2
minutes has been setup to help monitor the Sun and the space environment.
This
new resource is available at:
http://www.spacew.com/plots.html.  It contains numerous plots to track
current solar activity and space weather conditions, as well as the latest
SOHO spacecraft images and ground-based
H-alpha solar images. It also contains (to our knowledge) the most recent
SOHO
"difference" images available anywhere on the Internet. These difference
images are particularly valuable for rapid and early detection of coronal
mass
ejections.

Gun Control's Twisted Outcome
Restricting firearms has helped make England more crime-ridden than the U.S.
By Joyce Lee Malcolm, professor of history at Bentley College and a senior
adviser to the MIT Security Studies Program
November 2002
 
On a June evening two years ago, Dan Rather made many stiff British upper
lips
quiver by reporting that England had a crime problem and that, apart from
murder, "theirs is worse than ours." The response was swift and sharp. "Have
a
Nice Daydream," The Mirror, a London daily, shot back, reporting: "Britain
reacted with fury and disbelief last night to claims by American newsmen
that
crime and violence are worse here than in the US." But sandwiched between
the
article's battery of official denials -- "totally misleading," "a huge
over-simplification," "astounding and outrageous" -- and a compilation of
lurid crimes from "the wild west culture on the other side of the Atlantic
where every other car is carrying a gun," The Mirror conceded that the CBS
anchorman was correct. Except for murder and rape, it admitted, "Britain has
overtaken the US for all major crimes."

ACTION ALERTS


WESTERN SHOSHONE DEFENSE PROJECT:

ACTION ALERT
October 9, 2002

VOICE YOUR OPPOSITION TO SB 958 AND HR 2851 AND SUPPORT FOR A WESTERN
SHOSHONE
LAND BASE

Senator Reid's bill to pay the Western Shoshone for their land was marked up
to the Senate Floor recently at a hearing in the Senate Indian Affair's
Committee. The bill may be pushed through as part of Senator Inouye's Indian
Omnibus Bill later this week.

A majority of the Western Shoshone tribes and Western Shoshone traditional
people oppose the claim's distribution bill, SB 958, because it is an
attempt
to strip them of their land rights, by plans to open the alleged "public"
lands to privatization under Senate Bill 719.

SB 958 is part two of an ugly process that was begun by the Indian Claim's
Commission. For two decades the ICC carried out a flawed and discriminatory
process that denied the Western Shoshone their right of equality before the
law, the rights to a fair trail and the right to property, and ended with
the
payment to the Western Shoshone for their land. The legislation was
introduced
despite the fact that a majority of Western Shoshone tribal and traditional
leaders oppose it. Nevada Representative Gibbons introduced a companion
House
bill, HR 2851.

Please make calls to your Senators and Representatives to stop the bill as
it
is currently written from passage. Advocate for alternative legislation that
ensures Western Shoshone land rights and secures a Western Shoshone
homelands.

Talking points:

· It is time for the U.S. to reverse the tide of wrongs committed against
Native Americans. Tell them you support a reasonable alternative to the
proposed legislation that addresses the legitimate need of the Western
Shoshone for a land base, one that includes an agreement and timeline to
negotiate with the Western Shoshone to establish a Western Shoshone
Homeland.

· Any proposal to distribute Western Shoshone claim's money must be agreed
upon by the tribal governments.

· Both referendums used to justify the distribution were shams developed by
a
private interest group without input or agreement by the tribal leadership.
The majority of federally recognized Western Shoshone tribal governments
oppose SB 958 and HR 2851.

· The ballot language crafted by this private interest group was
deliberately
misleading. The first referendum ballot stated that the acceptance of the
claim money would not affect Western Shoshone land rights. While the
Department of the Interior is the supposed "trustee," it confirmed at the
recent Senate Indian Affairs Committee that they had not monitored the vote
process, or conducted an independent verification of the votes.

· The sponsors of the ballot did not use a legitimate voting process, i.e.,
they did not provide voter confidentiality, had no voters' lists to know who
was eligible to vote, and published no description of how the vote would be
conducted nor how the vote was tallied. In fact, there is no verification
that
the "voters" were Shoshone or actual, individual voters. No attempt was made
to notify Western Shoshone outside of a newspaper ad in the community in
which
the vote was held.

· The U.S. has a history of violating treaties it has signed. Not only has
the
U.S. broken its Treaty with the Western Shoshone, the U.S. is in violation
of
the human rights treaty we signed as a member state of the Organization of
American State's Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. Learning that
the
U.S. was pursuing claim's distribution legislation, the OAS released a
preliminary report citing the deficiencies of the Indian Claim's Commission
process which led to the 1979 payment to the U.S. Interior Department on
behalf of the Western Shoshone and urging the U.S. to remedy the situation
either legislatively or otherwise. The U.S. should be working to correct its
mistakes and not finalizing them with the claims distribution.

Interest High Around Agri-Fibre Conference: November 13-15 in Winnipeg,
Manitoba, Canada

October 22, 2002 - Exploring innovative and value-added uses for non-food
agri-fibres, such as wheat, flax and hemp straw, is the focus of the Ag-Fibe
2002, Growing our Industries, Conference and Exhibition being held at the
Fairmont Hotel in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, November 13-15, 2002.
Technical
program details are available at http://www.agrifibre.mb.ca

"This event will help raise the level of interest and awareness about
economic
opportunities in the agri-fibre industry. Environmentally friendly natural
fibre materials are used to manufacture everything from automobile parts to
ethanol - the growth potential for utilizing "green" material for industrial
purposes is phenomenal" said Joe Laxdal, Conference Chair. "It will also
provide a forum for national and international experts to share and exchange
ideas and information related to this new and growing sector of the
agriculture value-added industry.

The conference is already attracting producers who supply raw materials,
industry investors such as banks and financial institutions, manufacturers
and
processors, researchers, government agencies, and students enrolled in
agriculture and agri-business disciplines.

During the three-day event speakers from across Canada, the United States
and
Europe will discuss the opportunities and challenges associated with
commercializing and marketing agricultural bio-mass (agri-fibre); issues
around manufacturing, preprocessing, storing and handling agri-fibre, as
well
as providing the latest information related to research and development into
agri-fibres.

Some of the featured speakers include:
Bo Smeder, M.Sc., President, Creando Fibretech AB - Karlstad, Sweden
Donna A. Johnson, President, Pinnacle Technology, Inc. - Lawrence, Kansas
Dr. Shahab Sokhansanj, P.Eng., Oak Ridge National Laboratory - Oak Ridge,
Tennessee
Dr. Lindsay Easson, Agricultural Research Institute of Northern Ireland
Belfast, Ireland
Geof Kime, President, Hempline Inc. - Delaware, Ontario
Darrell Lischynski , Manager of Energy & Processing Section, Prairie
Agricultural Machinery Institute - Humboldt, Saskatchewan
Amy M. Hartman, Development Specialist, Dow Chemical Company - Elie,
Manitoba
Brenda Colegrove, Product Development Leader, Dow Chemical Company Freeport,
Texas
Bill Cruickshank, Manager, Biochemical Conversion, CANMET Energy Technology
Centre Ottawa, Ontario
Ellen C. Lee, Technical Specialist, Ford Motor Company - Dearborn, Michigan

An industry showcase and trade show will feature the latest products and
technologies currently being used in Canada and around the world. Meanwhile,
an AgFibe Theatre, which will operate during the conference, will feature
presentations from industry innovators, academic papers and virtual tours of
agri-fibre operations.

The Straw to Gold (Manitoba) Association is spearheading the Ag-Fibe 2002
Conference with support from the Manitoba and Federal governments. "Manitoba
is seen as a leader in Western Canada in the production and processing of
agri-fibre," said Laxdal.

The Province is home to a number of agri-fibre-based companies. Ecusta and
Schweitzer-Mauduit both process flax fibre for the North American paper
industry. Dow BioProducts manufactures "woodstalk", a wheatstraw
particleboard
from its plant in Elie, Manitoba. ErosionControlBlanket.com specializes in
making rolled erosion control products made from natural fibres such as
hemp,
wheat and barley. Combined, these Manitoba industries use in excess of
800,000
tonnes of agri-fibre annually.

Meanwhile, in Saskatchewan companies are using agri-fibre to produce
insulating panels for the automotive industry, wood substitutes and egg
trays.
Urban Forest Recyclers of Swift Current successfully uses canary seed straw
and flax straw as a fibre strengthener to manufacture commercial egg trays.
The company maintains about 40 per cent of the entire North American egg
tray
market and exports almost 90 per cent of its products to the United States.

"Whether it's using agri-fibre in producing thermoplastics, insulation,
automotive components, building products such as roofing shingles and
siding,
paper products or textiles, finding new uses for surplus bio-mass materials
is
both environmentally and economically beneficial, " noted Laxdal. "Ag Fibe
2002 will examine the exciting opportunities that exist in developing new
uses
for agri-fibre."

Delegate Registration is $410 CDN + GST and includes all sessions, meals and
social functions. Exhibition Booth registration is $760.00 CDN + GST.

OPINI0N PIECES


Your Turn: Consider the poll data on fluoride issue
By Lois Eckroat

SPECIAL TO THE RENO GAZETTE-JOURNAL
10/20/2002 10:04 pm

Like most locals, I am watching the debate surrounding fluoridation with
enormous interest. It seems that all possible arguments have been thrown
into
this fierce battle. The ammunition of scientific/medical observations,
political/freedom issues, emotional/rhetoric stances, health, practical and
financial considerations have been exhausted. Both sides produce dentists,
other medical professionals as well as those from the general public to
enhance their opinions.

As we ponder who is winning, the results of two opinion polls we conducted
as
former editors of Nevada Health Alliance, I trust, will reveal less known
aspects to you. As a non-profit organization we were not financially
motivated. Our mission was based on unreserved dedication to health and
optimum objectivity. This is how we proceeded: First, we sent a
questionnaire
to all local dentists. Though less than one third responded, we identified
10
dentists who stated they were in opposition to mandating fluoridation. Out
of
those 10, four did not wish to be identified for fear of reprisals from the
American Dental Association. Second, we commissioned eight health
professionals to opinion poll a cross section of people of no particular
mind
set. Out of 300 people polled, only six favored mandatory fluoridation.
Proponents of fluoridation mandate expressed general confidence that
fluoridation, if optimally limited to one part per million, would protect
against tooth cavities, how!
ever, most admit this is not proven by testing.

I am listing the reasons given for objecting to mandated fluoridation in the
priority order given in this poll:

Violation of freedom to choose: Most felt that sodium fluoride is a
poisonous
chemical and strongly expressed having a choice in what "to put in their
bodies."

Health threat: In general it is believed that limiting daily sodium fluoride
intake to 1 ppm is impossible, since collectively, cereals, canned/bottle
juices, other foods, toothpaste etc. easily exceed the danger level of 4
ppm.

Most believed the overfluoridation leads to fluorisis, brittle bones, I.Q.
lowering and cancer.

Frustration with elected officials, who seem to represent the views of
industrial power, the FDA, AMA and ADA rather than the people of Nevada.

Cost: Most felt mandatory fluoridation to be an unnecessary tax burden.

Bad personal experiences with fluoridation: Many included horror stories
with
their responses, some from local dentists.

Feeling of deception: Many questioned the integrity and motives of health
professionals in not explaining the difference between calcium fluoride and
sodium fluoride. Calcium fluoride occurs naturally in water in minute
quantities and is believed to be beneficial or at least harmless. Sodium
fluoride, most felt, is a dangerous toxic by-product of chemical processing.

Our conclusion: Fluoridation mandate is primarily considered a freedom of
choice issue. We also observed the opponents of mandatory fluoridation, in
general, were better informed.

I, KONTROLLED
By George Piccard

   Three days ago, I was enjoying an extended lunch with a friend of mine.
We
were dining at a local Indian Cuisine joint.  The place offers a buffet
lunch,
is really quite good, but don't ask me what I was eating.  Aside from rice,
everything  gets conceptual.

 I'll admit to being the guilty party: I had been suffering a brain cloud
for
the previous week.  So the talk was small, and my thought train was barely
rolling until Jose Padilla, a.k.a. Abdullah al-Mujahir, drifted through
synapse town.  If you've thumbed through any news rags recently, you'd know
him as the detained unlawful combatant who was planning on detonating a bomb
full of radioactive contaminants.  If I understand the story: Jose grew up
in
Chicago, got mixed up in some Latino gangs, went to prison where he found
Allah, becomes an Al Quieda recruit, plans to terrorize, and is apprehended
by
US officials, is being held without being charged, and-- well enough about
him.  

 I was about to express this little rage to my good friend over rice and
stuff, and then I did something unthinkable.  I actually looked around to
see
who might be listening.  I consider myself lucky to have been aware of it.
Was I concerned about the plastic vase being bugged?  My pal wearing a wire?
No.  I had the sense that what I was thinking wasn't an appropriate topic
for
public conversation.

   Instead of choking on my thoughts, I leaned over the table and said in a
low voice to my friend "You know, you really gotta be careful about what you
say in public these days."

   I proceeded to vent about the Hispanic Muslim, which by the way seems
newsworthy on its own merits.  I rant for a bit about how I'm at sixes and
sevens over an American citizen being held indefinitely without even being
charged, and it's not like there isn't a shadow element of the Central
Intelligence Agency that couldn't drum up some evidence if they lacked the
'hard' evidence to prosecute the cretin.  I think I would be satisfied if
just
the appearance of equal justice was maintained.  Well, if not satisfied at
least comforted- but what the hell am I saying here?!

     And then it's on to how post nine eleven America makes even less sense
than Christian Fundamentalism.  It turns out that 2500 people have been
'detained' without being charged since the Terrorism struck our country.
And,
and, and, now I'm looking over my shoulder to see who might be listening?

   Of Course I was preaching to the choir.  My friend is Jerry E. Smith, he
is
no stranger to paranoia.  He's been warning me for years that we (the
writers,
dissenters, artists) would be the first to be rounded up and shotted when
the
blue-capped army rolls in.  He has a flare for the traumatic.

    Once again, the Liquid Conspiracy is subtle enough that people more or
less seem to agree with whats happenin' 'round here.  At least publicly they
do. We believe we should have that 'steely resolve' and grin and bear it as
the freaking fourth Reich possesses Uncle Sam.  Lord knows we won't be
calling
the Catholic church over to perform the exorcism.

     And this is no time for talk of supporting civil rights, unless your a
celebrity bitching about being searched in an aiport.  I actually heard Pat
O'Reilly of the FOX News channel show bearing his name use the term 'Civil
Rights' in jest, as he moves his head from sided to side.  Remember how Rush
Limbaugh changed the definition of the term "Liberal" ?  Don't get me wrong,
I
kind of like O'Reilly, with his smug demeanor and bratty attacks.  Again,
what
am I saying-- I like this guy?

     Well, despite this disturbance in the force, lunch seemed to settle
well.
 Now, having recently spotted Big Brother in action, I was ultra aware of my
oppression.  My eye was caught by a story posted on Drudge about the Film
"Wind Talkers".  It appears that the Pentagon had effectively censored
director John Woo's film by requesting he remove scenes they deemed as
inaccurate.  Woo complied, lest he lose military cooperation for the
production.  One of the screenwriters is quoted as saying "The integrity is
still there."  I suppose it is still there, screaming and thrashing in
attempt
to capture our attention.  I say to the Military  "Make war not film."

      My synchronicity train rolls on, as Saturday I find myself at a
Birthday
Party for my sons friend, and in a conversation with a newspaper journalist
about how Hollywood Video and Blockbuster Video have censored a vast number
of
films they deemed inappropriate for families.  Movies like "Crash", "The Bad
Leutenient"  and "Requiem for a Dream."  The offensive thing to me about
this
is that they rent the films, with family-appropriate edit, but never
indicate
that the movie has been altered.  Worse yet, in our area, there is only one
remaining independent video rental house.  And it's 20 minutes from
downtown! 
The big guys have hoisted everyone else out of the market.  Worse yet,
nobody
seems to give a damn.

     Well I do.  I believe that I can decide which films are appropriate for
my personal viewing.  I can protect my family from objectionable material
well
enough on my own.  It is an outrage that someone would put themselves in a
position I consider to be my responsibility.  And since when does the
Government of our United States get to decide who is too guilty to get a
trial?   And since when do I look over our shoulders to see who's listening?
Should I feel compelled to lower my voice when speaking of  Civil Rights?
The Bill of Rights?  Human Rights?

     Talk to me.  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR


Re: "An informative discussion about fluoridation - the pros and cons" from
OVER THE TRANSOM 27

Dear Mr. Smith,

As business owners and managers [Everlasting Health, 1515 S. Virginia
Street,
Reno, NV 775 324-7382] we have recently taken a non-biased poll of 500 of
our
customers who wanted to participate with how they felt about mandatory
fluoridation. We found that most of the 500 customers polled were pretty
well
informed. Out of that 500 only seven wanted our water fluoridated and three
of
them stated it was because "all of the other cities have it". Most felt that
aside from the fact that it is a dangerous chemical, it is also a freedom of
choice issue.  

The wording on the voting ballot also concerns us in that the chemical that
proponents of forced fluoridation plan to use to "adjust" the level of
"naturally occurring" fluoride is not the same one that occurs naturally in
our water supply. Sodium fluoride is not calcium fluoride!

When fluoride is free in the school system for any student whose parents are
misinformed badly enough to allow it's use and dentists can use it in any
amount they feel they can get away with, for the time being, why would any
person who can read and/or listen campaign for adding this dangerous
chemical
to our water?

I have to work and Hans is out of town Saturday. We cannot come to this
debate
but I certainly hope that the health freedom of choice is well represented
at
this meeting.

Thank you,
Lois Eckroat

To which I replied:

Dear Lois,

Thanks for your letter!

Sorry you can't make it to tonight's gathering on fluoride.  Do feel free to
join us at the Sparks Denny's any Saturday night [for the "no name eater's
group, founded by Jim Keith].

The local cable access show WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL has done a
couple
of shows on fluoride, and many other health issues.  In fact, this coming
Wednesday, will be on alternative medicine and cancer, with several
homeopathic doctors, including Dr. Brody.  Do be sure to watch (SNCAT at 8
PM).  You might want to visit www.knowfree.com and check out what tapes are
available.

--Jerry E. Smith

To which she replied:

Dear Mr. Smith,

Thank you for the invitation to Denny's any Saturday night and I will watch
SNCAT if I can manage to be near a TV when this show airs. Doctor Brodie is
always interesting and very knowledgeable. I have sent the results of this
poll to the Reno Gazette Journal and they have ask for a release from me to
print it in "Your Turn" on the opinion page (reprinted above in the OPINION
PIECES section of this publication). I was hoping to have it run a little
closer to the election but we must take whatever we can get.

This issue is so important! I came to Nevada 16 years ago from a little town
of about 30,000 in the Midwest where our water was fluoridated about 45
years
ago. There is hardly a family living there that hasn't been touched by
cancer,
all of the children have fluorosis and brittle bones are big business as
fractured hips and arms from falls on the ice and snow is very common in the
long icy winters there. Usually that is how the end begins for those that
escape cancer. My husband was one that did not escape it and paid the
ultimate
price for having healthy teeth five years ago. Bless his heart, he was
always
so proud of his beautiful teeth.

The doctors and dentists in my home town are very wealthy. None of them
struggle to get started and to survive like they do here. My home town
boasts
two major hospitals, one of them much larger than Washoe Med, and at last
count 264 medical doctors, 78 dentists and all of the staff that surrounds
these practices. All of them are thriving and support the local Country
Club,
Send their children to Harvard, Yale and have much more luxury than our
local
doctors here which, in itself, is quite shameful.  Now, if you put the
calculator on the figures, that's 30,000 people divided by 342 doctors.
Since
my daughter is a CPA and does accounting for more than 47% of the doctors in
this town she reports that her lowest paid doctor client grosses $675,000.00
annually. Charging $60.00 per visit on the average and Mr. or Ms. Doctor
sees
four patients per hour and usually works only four days a week. I don't know
of any doctor who works more, however, many work less. That is only
$396,288!
.00 annually and that does not take into consideration any vacations and
holidays. Now if that low paid doctor sees 32 patients a day, (that is 4 per
hour for 8 hours) 4 days a week times 4.3 weeks in a month, times 12 months,
that low paid doctor is just about seeing every person in town, man woman
and
child twice a year. We know that isn't true because there are about 341
other
doctors who are making more money than he is. With the facts we know we can
safely assume that this is a town of very sick people. Since fluoride is the
only thing they do that we don't do may we assume that fluoride makes
doctors
and dentists very rich and the rest of us very sick? Something to think
about,
wouldn't you say? Forgive me for getting so wordy. I can only blame it on
this
fluoride and the freedom of choice issue.

"Dark Funds" for government operations (Principle HMI). The following are
the
patent listings (Hughes Aircraft) for the CHEMTRAIL substances generated
under
contract and control of the USAF: The following 4 patents are registered to
Hughes Aircraft. Each contains the complete set of CHEMTRAIL chemicals:
Patent
# 5,397,366 (Storage Cells) HERE Please read the context of these patents.
It
is very informing !!! The key is the 3rd patent #4,791,076. This is for a
special carbon fiber that is doped with the CHEMTRAIL elements (Titanium,
Aluminum, Barium, Magnesium, Calcium).

This type of fiber is used to make highly reflective mirrors/space dishes.
If
it is ground into particulate, it can become airborne (lightweight). The
USAF
HAARP (High Altitude Active Aurora Research Project) creates "electronic"
mirrors in the atmosphere to beam signals worldwide (do a search on HAARP -
lots of sites).

This came in from Juanita Cox:

The long-term implications of drugs and medical procedures must be fully
considered, because over the past few years more money has been spent on
breast implants and Viagra than is spent on Alzheimer's Disease research.

The medical community expresses concern that by the year 2030 there will be
a
significant number of people wandering around with huge breasts and
erections
who can't remember what to do with them.

On June 24, 2002 I received this email:

mr jerry we the mexican people have an old saying . if god can not do this
or
thath then the gringos can do it . but there is a question still in my mind
thath all the pages about haarp show or almost all  the ufos phenomena thath
is still not really solid evidence  THATH STILL IN NOT REAL . can you
explian
thath tanks jesus valdes berlanga

To which I replied:

Dear Jesus,
 
I am not sure just what aspect of HAARP you are unsure about.  Does it exist
at all?  Yes, it can be easily proven that there is a facility with that
name
in Alaska.  From my website I have links to the official HAARP websites
operated by the United States Navy and the University of Alaska, as well as
links to articles in major publications, such as the daily newspaper for
Anchorage.  Those official websites will tell you a great deal about what
HAARP physically is and what they want to the public to know of what they
are
doing with it.  Official information about HAARP is easily obtained from the
Navy and the University of Alaska.  They will tell you that it is an
ionospheric research device and some of the experiments planned for it.
Beyond that it is a matter of studying the scientific literature, and
analysis
of what technically trained individuals have written, and deciding for
yourself which of the claims about what HAARP may or may not be able to do
are
true.

I received this way back on Wednesday, November 07, 2001, and misplaced it
for
a while.  It seems remarkably cogent to my editorial in the last issue on
"Communism, Fascism and the Decline of America" ...


Hi,

There is a lot of evidence that freemasonic interests were behind the
development of both The Nazi regime and the Soviet Union. The purpose was to
overthrow the monarchies of both the Kaiser and the Czar, and free up the
wealth that they were hording; thus integrating their economies into the
world
financial systems. What most people don't know is that fascism was
originally
a Left-Wing movement. Italian Fascism was based on Anarcho-syndicalism and
the
original German Social Nationalists like Strasser were socialists that
wanted
to overthrow Capitalism and abolish the State, and replace it with Guild
Socialism and village communes. The early variants of Fascism were more like
Anarchism, Italy's fascism was more like authoritarian Communism that took
Anarcho-Syndicalism to its logical Stalinist-like development. Hitler took
the
Left-Wing Fascist movements and based them also on the Communist-statist
model, and like "Moose the Deuce" in Italy, took Social Nationalist Fascist
A!
narchism and turned into Statist Communo-Corporate State Fascism like we
have
in the so-called democracies, just more extreme. Right-Wing Fascism is
really
just the transmutation of various Left-Wing Fascist Movements, statist and
anarchical. If their is division in the elite camps between the commie
fascists and the corporate ones, it will make it more likely the NWO won't
work out because of their division, and that's all right by me.

Take care,
David Crowley

Subject: consequences and questions

Mr. Smith,

There is a belief that is shared by many Native Americans that the end times
will be brought about by a shifting of the magnetic poles,  which will take
place under entirely natural circumstances.  My friend believes that the use
of HAARP technology is accelerating the process of this magnetic shift,
resulting in a state of confusion, for lack of a better description, among
all
living things.  For example signs of confusion exist in the patterns of
birds
nesting habits.  The old saying is that the harsher the winter, the closer a
bird will build it's nest to the trunk of a tree.  If you take the time to
look, you will see that birds are confused. One family may build next to the
trunk of the tree, while in the next tree a nest sits on the edge of a limb.
In much the same way couldn't this shifting of magnetic poles affect the
psychological well being of human beings?  Could the growing rate of mental
illness and violence in our society be attributed to these shifts in magne!
tic polarity, and is our government so concerned with defense technology
that
it would sacrifice the well being of it's own people to conduct research in
this field of study? (Excuse the naive nature of this rhetorical question.
Of
course they would.)
 
I feel that we live in times of almost surreal insanity, only three years
ago
I was witness to the murder of my brother on the streets of New Orleans and
there was no real reason for the tragedy, other than the excuse that the
shooter was "afraid".  This was his explanation after he had confronted us
and
verbally assaulted us in a night club, while armed and trained in the use of
fire arms by the military. My brother and I were unarmed, and aside from a
bit
of a scuffle, the murderer faced no real danger.  I have read in recent
articles that fish who have previously displayed no predatory instincts are
attacking one another at alarming rates in both the Pacific and Atlantic
oceans.  Do you think there may be a connection to unprovoked violent
episodes
and psychological illness as a result of the HAARP project? (In animals of
all
kinds, including humans?)
 
I would certainly appreciate any insights you might have on this subject,
and
I would like to say that I have an enormous amount of respect for your
writing
on a subject that has been entirely disregarded by the media. I look forward
to hearing from you.
 
Best of luck to you and yours.
 
Jason Graham 

To which I replied:

Jason,
 
I must say this is a difficult question to answer -- and I say that from
having spent the last decade and a half trying to answer it!  All your
points
and conjectures match mine.  But, as you may have guessed, I have no solid
answers.  I have read many, many folks' attempts to solve this mystery.  One
that comes to mind it the alleged "Planet X," whose approach, it is claimed,
is causing these disruptions.  Of course many, of several religions, believe
we are in the End Times.  Millennialism has been growing for several decades
and has yet to "crest."  All I can say is I prefer a "safe" approach, which
in
part calls for no military (or other) projects that threaten the stability
of
major natural systems.  Yes, I do fear that HAARP could contribute to a
polar
shift, although that is one of my lesser worries about the program.

HISTORICAL DOCUMENT


The Virginia Act For Establishing Religious Freedom
Thomas Jefferson, 1786

Well aware that Almighty God hath created the mind free; that all attempts
to
influence it by temporal punishments or burdens, or by civil
incapacitations,
tend only to beget habits of hypocrisy and meanness, and are a departure
from
the plan of the Holy Author of our religion, who being Lord both of body and
mind, yet chose not to propagate it by coercions on either, as was in his
Almighty power to do; that the impious presumption of legislators and
rulers,
civil as well as ecclesiastical, who, being themselves but fallible and
uninspired men, have assumed dominion over the faith of others, setting up
their own opinions and modes of thinking as the only true and infallible,
and
as such endeavoring to impose them on others, hath established and
maintained
false religions over the greatest part of the world, and through all time;
that to compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation
of
opinions which he disbelieves, is sinful and tyrannical; that even the!
 forcing him to support this or that teacher of his own religious
persuasion,
is depriving him of the comfortable liberty of giving his contributions to
the
particular pastor whose morals he would make his pattern, and whose powers
he
feels most persuasive to righteousness, and is withdrawing from the ministry
those temporal rewards, which proceeding from an approbation of their
personal
conduct, are an additional incitement to earnest and unremitting labors for
the instruction of mankind; that our civil rights have no dependence on our
religious opinions, more than our opinions in physics or geometry; that,
therefore, the proscribing any citizen as unworthy the public confidence by
laying upon him an incapacity of being called to the offices of trust and
emolument, unless he profess or renounce this or that religious opinion, is
depriving him injuriously of those privileges and advantages to which in
common with his fellow citizens he has a natural right; that it tends also!
 to corrupt the principles of that very religion it is meant to encourage,
by
bribing, with a monopoly of worldly honors and emoluments, those who will
externally profess and conform to it; that though indeed these are criminal
who do not withstand such temptation, yet neither are those innocent who lay
the bait in their way; that to suffer the civil magistrate to intrude his
powers into the field of opinion and to restrain the profession or
propagation
of principles, on the supposition of their ill tendency, is a dangerous
fallacy, which at once destroys all religious liberty, because he being of
course judge of that tendency, will make his opinions the rule of judgment,
and approve or condemn the sentiments of others only as they shall square
with
or differ from his own; that it is time enough for the rightful purposes of
civil government, for its officers to interfere when principles break out
into
overt acts against peace and good order; and finally, that truth is great !
and will prevail if left to herself, that she is the proper and sufficient
antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict, unless by
human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and
debate,
errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict
them.

Be it therefore enacted by the General Assembly, That no man shall be
compelled to frequent or support any religious worship, place, or ministry
whatsoever, nor shall be enforced, restrained, molested, or burdened in his
body or goods, nor shall otherwise suffer on account of his religious
opinions
or belief; but that all men shall be free to profess, and by argument to
maintain, their opinions in matters of religion, and that the same shall in
nowise diminish, enlarge, or affect their civil capacities.

And though we well know this Assembly, elected by the people for the
ordinary
purposes of legislation only, have no powers equal to our own and that
therefore to declare this act irrevocable would be of no effect in law, yet
we
are free to declare, and do declare, that the rights hereby asserted are of
the natural rights of mankind, and that if any act shall be hereafter passed
to repeal the present or to narrow its operation, such act will be an
infringement of natural right.
