U.S. government scientists
are bombarding the skies
with the acid-rain causing
pollutant sulphur dioxide
in an attempt to fight
global warming by
“geo-engineering” the
planet, despite the fact
that injecting aerosols
into the upper atmosphere
carries with it a host of
both known and unknown
dangers.
Such programs merely
scratch the surface of
what is likely to be a
gargantuan and overarching
black-budget funded
project to geo-engineer
the planet, with little or
no care for the unknown
environmental consequences
this could engender.
The proposal to disperse
sulphur dioxide in an
attempt to reflect
sunlight was again raised
in a London Guardian
article this week
entitled, Geoengineering:
The radical ideas to
combat global warming, in
which Ken Caldeira, a
leading climate scientist
based at the Carnegie
Institution in Stanford,
California, promotes the
idea of injecting the
atmosphere with aerosols.
“One approach is to
insert “scatterers”
into the stratosphere,”
states the article.
“Caldeira cites an idea
to deploy jumbo jets into
the upper atmosphere and
deposit clouds of tiny
particles there, such as
sulphur dioxide.
Dispersing around 1m
tonnes of sulphur dioxide
per year across 10m square
kilometres of the
atmosphere would be enough
to reflect away sufficient
amounts of sunlight.”
Experiments similar to
Caldeira’s proposal are
already being carried out
by U.S. government -backed
scientists, such as those
at the U.S. Department of
Energy’s (DOE) Savannah
River National Laboratory
in Aiken, S.C, who this
year conducted studies
which involved shooting
huge amounts of
particulate matter, in
this case “porous-walled
glass microspheres,”
into the stratosphere.
The project, which reached
its conclusion this past
April, is closely tied to
an idea by Nobel Prize
winner Paul Crutzen, who
“proposed sending
aircraft 747s to dump huge
quantities of sulfur
particles into the
far-reaches of the
stratosphere to cool down
the atmosphere.”
Such programs merely
scratch the surface of
what is likely to be a
gargantuan and overarching
black-budget funded
project to geo-engineer
the planet, with little or
no care for the unknown
environmental consequences
this could engender.
What is known about what
happens when the
environment is loaded with
sulphur dioxide is bad
enough, since the compound
is the main component of
acid rain, which according
to the EPA “Causes
acidification of lakes and
streams and contributes to
the damage of trees at
high elevations (for
example, red spruce trees
above 2,000 feet) and many
sensitive forest soils. In
addition, acid rain
accelerates the decay of
building materials and
paints, including
irreplaceable buildings,
statues, and sculptures
that are part of our
nation’s cultural
heritage.”
The health effects of
bombarding the skies with
sulphur dioxide alone are
enough to raise serious
questions about whether
such programs should even
be allowed to proceed.
The following health
effects are linked with
exposure to sulphur.
- Neurological effects and
behavioural changes
- Disturbance of blood
circulation
- Heart damage
- Effects on eyes and
eyesight
- Reproductive failure
- Damage to immune
systems
- Stomach and
gastrointestinal disorder
- Damage to liver and
kidney functions
- Hearing defects
- Disturbance of the
hormonal metabolism
- Dermatological effects
- Suffocation and lung
embolism
According to the LennTech
website, “Laboratory
tests with test animals
have indicated that sulfur
can cause serious vascular
damage in veins of the
brains, the heart and the
kidneys. These tests have
also indicated that
certain forms of sulfur
can cause foetal damage
and congenital effects.
Mothers can even carry
sulfur poisoning over to
their children through
mother milk. Finally,
sulfur can damage the
internal enzyme systems of
animals.”
This graphic proposes,
“Spraying aluminum
powder and barium oxide
into high levels of the
atmosphere, again
delivered by aircraft, to
increase planetary
reflectance (albedo) and
cloud cover.” High
levels of barium have been
found in substances
associated with
chemtrails.
Fred Singer, president of
the Science Environmental
Policy Project and a
skeptic of man-made global
warming theories, warns
that the consequences of
tinkering with the
planet’s delicate
eco-system could have
far-reaching dangers.
“If you do this on a
continuous basis, you
would depress the ozone
layer and cause all kinds
of other problems that
people would rather
avoid,” said Singer.
Even Greenpeace’s chief
UK scientist - a staunch
advocate of the man-made
global warming explanation
- Doug Parr has slammed
attempts to geo-engineer
the planet as
“outlandish” and
“dangerous”.
Stephen Schneider of
Stanford University, who
recently proposed a
bizarre plan to send
spaceships into the upper
atmosphere that would be
used to block out the Sun,
admits that
geo-engineering could
cause “conflicts between
nations if geoengineering
projects go wrong.”
Given all the immediate
dangers associated with
bombarding the atmosphere
with sulphur dioxide,
along with the unknown
dangers of other
geo-engineering projects,
many people are concerned
that “chemtrails”
could be a secret
component of the same
agenda to alter the
Earth’s eco-system.
Reports of chemtrails, jet
plumes emitted from planes
that hang in the air for
hours and do not
dissipate, often
blanketing the sky in
criss-cross patterns, have
increased dramatically
over the last 10 years.
Many have speculated that
they are part of a
government program to
alter climate, inoculate
humans against certain
pathogens, or even to
toxify humans as part of a
population reduction
agenda.
In conducting Google
searches, one finds
discussion, such as this
example, of using sulphur
dioxide as a jet fuel
additive to be dispersed
over the world during
routine commercial
flights.
“I suggest that both the
sulphur dioxide and the
silica particles could be
delivered into the
stratosphere by dissolving
an additive in jet
aviation fuel,” writes
engineer John Gorman, who
has conducted experiments
to test the feasibility of
such a scenario.
“We would want to burn
fuel containing the
additive specifically when
the aircraft was cruising
in the lower
stratosphere,” he adds.
Earlier this year, KSLA
news investigation found
that a substance that fell
to earth from a high
altitude chemtrail
contained high levels of
Barium (6.8 ppm) and Lead
(8.2 ppm) as well as trace
amounts of other chemicals
including arsenic,
chromium, cadmium,
selenium and silver. Of
these, all but one are
metals, some are toxic
while several are rarely
or never found in nature.
The newscast focuses on
Barium, which its research
shows is a “hallmark of
chemtrails.” KSLA found
Barium levels in its
samples at 6.8 ppm or
“more than six times the
toxic level set by the
EPA.” The Louisiana
Department of
Environmental Quality
confirmed that the high
levels of Barium were
“very unusual,” but
commented that “proving
the source was a whole
other matter” in its
discussion with KSLA.
KSLA also asked Mark Ryan,
Director of the Poison
Control Center, about the
effects of Barium on the
human body. Ryan commented
that “short term
exposure can lead to
anything from stomach to
chest pains and that long
term exposure causes blood
pressure problems.” The
Poison Control Center
further reported that
long-term exposure, as
with any harmful
substance, would
contribute to weakening
the immune system, which
many speculate is the
purpose of such man-made
chemical trails.
Indeed, barium oxide has
cropped up repeatedly as a
contaminant from suspected
geoengineering
experimentation.
KSLA also put
aerosolized-chemical
testing in its historical
context, citing a
voluminous number of
unclassified tests exposed
in 1977 Senate hearings.
The tests included
experimenting with
biochemical compounds on
the public. KSLA reports
that “239 populated
areas were contaminated
with biological agents
between 1949 and 1969.”
One of the accepted
truisms of scientific
study is the fact that if
scientists are proposing
an idea, then those
scientists with access to
the bottomless pit of
black-budget secret
government funding are
already doing it.
It is highly likely that
chemtrails are merely one
manifestation of
“geo-engineering” that
is taking place without
proper debate,
notification or any form
of legality, and with a
callous disregard for the
potential dangers to both
our health and our
environment.
(CNN) -- Comic actor
Bernie Mac died early
Saturday of complications
from pneumonia, according
to a family member and his
publicist. He was 50.
Bernie Mac
Bernie Mac, 50, had been
hospitalized in his
hometown, Chicago, with
pneumonia.
He had been hospitalized
in Chicago, Illinois, for
more than a week with the
lung infection.
Danica Smith, the
comedian's publicist, had
said Thursday that Mac's
condition was "stable,"
The Associated Press
reported.
"When I got the call this
morning, it was just
devastating news," said
Chicago Sun-Times
columnist Stella Foster.
"Let's face it: Bernie Mac
was one of a kind. He was
the best of the best in
terms of giving you a good
laugh. "
Smith previously said the
pneumonia wasn't related
to sarcoidosis, a lung
disease Mac had, which had
been in remission since
2005, according to AP.
