Le verifiche sulle rilevazioni dell’Agenzia regionale da Milano a Monza
L'Ue, sottostimati i dati sullo smog
Il dossier europeo sulle centraline: le cifre Arpa inferiori ai valori reali del Pm10 anche del 40 per cento
MILANO -Quanto sono veri i dati sullo smog che vengono divulgati da anni ai cittadini milanesi e lombardi? Le autorità, Regione e Arpa, forniscono rilevazioni affidabili sull’inquinamento? Per scoprirlo bisogna tornare indietro di tre anni, al 31 gennaio del 2007. Quel giorno la centralina dell’Arpa a Monza registra 101 microgrammi per metro cubo di polveri sottili. Ma accanto a quella stazione, in quel periodo, c’è un laboratorio mobile, sistemato lì dai tecnici della Commissione europea. Stanno facendo un «controllo di qualità» sulle stazioni di rilevamento lombarde. Il risultato di questa seconda centralina, che utilizza le tecnologie più avanzate e all’avanguardia, è radicalmente diverso: circa 180 microgrammi di Pm10, quasi 80 in più del valore che verrà riferito ai cittadini. Sarà così anche nei giorni a venire: tra il 30 gennaio e il 2 febbraio 2007, i dati che l’Arpa ha divulgato ai lombardi sono sempre più bassi di quelli reali, con «discrepanze » che vanno da un paio a 30 o 40 microgrammi. Conclude il rapporto dei tecnici europei: «La comparazione... ha evidenziato che, in particolare ad alti livelli di Pm10», la centralina dell’Arpa «sottostima le concentrazioni».

Conclude il rapporto dei tecnici europei: «La comparazione... ha evidenziato che, in particolare ad alti livelli di Pm10», la centralina dell’Arpa «sottostima le concentrazioni».
«Sottostima sistematica» - I rapporti seguenti andranno avanti con relazioni su altre campagne di controllo, concludendo che durante le prime verifiche i dati registrati dall’Arpa sono «sistematicamente » più bassi di quelli reali. Che sopra una certa soglia (120 microgrammi) la sottostima delle macchine regionali diventa «drammatica». A pagina 6 del primo rapporto (concluso nel novembre 2006, relativo a Monza), c’è addirittura una conclusione che nel testo è stata «nascosta» sotto un grafico e dice testualmente: «I dati della rete locale sottostimano i valori delle concentrazioni di circa il 40 per cento» rispetto agli strumenti dei tecnici europei.
La ricerca - I rapporti sono stati redatti ogni 6 mesi, a partire dal novembre 2006, da un’équipe specializzata del Joint research center, il Centro comune di ricerca di Ispra, direzione generale della Commissione europea che si occupa della ricerca scientifica. Il lavoro è frutto di un accordo tra Commissione e Regione Lombardia siglato nel 2006 e costato al Pirellone 6 milioni di euro. Lo studio è articolato in quattro aree: «identificazione delle sorgenti dell’inquinamento», «analisi delle opzioni tecnologiche per l’abbattimento dello smog», «monitoraggio della qualità dell’aria», «valutazione integrata». È una sorta di «bibbia» della ricerca ambientale sull’inquinamento, in corso ormai da oltre tre anni. La Regione però non ha mai diffuso i risultati. Né ai cittadini, né agli altri enti locali. Fino ad oggi sono stati ultimati 7 rapporti: il Corriere ha potuto consultare i primi sei grazie all’impegno dei «Genitori antismog », che da anni si battono per la ricerca della documentazione scientifica sull’inquinamento che le istituzioni «nascondono » ai cittadini.
Macchine e polveri - Per le rilevazioni del Pm10 nell’aria, l’unico metodo di riferimento stabilito dalle leggi europee è il gravimetrico (si pesano le polveri depositate sui filtri). È concesso usare macchine con sistemi diversi, purché siano calibrate sul metodo gravimetrico. L’accuratezza delle rilevazioni dipende in questo caso da molti fattori: tipo di macchina/centralina, manutenzione, applicazione di coefficienti per la correzione degli errori, aggiornamenti tecnologici. Per questo un certo limite di incertezza è tollerato. A colpire però nelle campagne di controllo in Lombardia, soprattutto durante le prime verifiche, è l’incertezza a senso unico: nella stragrande maggioranza dei casi, i dati dell’Arpa sono inferiori a quelli rilevati con le tecnologie di Ispra. Diciotto giorni su 18 nelle verifiche a Pioltello nel 2006; 13 su 13 a Monza nel 2007; 13 giorni su 14 a Milano- via Pascal sempre nel 2007. Ancora nel 2007 vengono realizzate altre due campagne: a Bergamo l’allineamento dei dati per la prima vola è buono; ma a Busto Arsizio, dice Ispra, la centralina «sottostima regolarmente i valori del Pm10 tra il 10 e il 20 per cento».

Pollution: the biggest killer on Britain's roads
Air pollution from traffic is killing vast numbers every year - and the problem is getting worse. Andrew Marszal
16 Feb 2010
What is the biggest killer on our roads? It's not black ice, or drunk driving, or even badly installed accelerator pedals. In fact, it's air pollution – and it's getting worse. According to the most recent official figures – published back in 1998 – up to 24,000 people in Britain die before their time every year as a result of air pollution caused by vehicles, compared with 2,600 killed in road accidents. Yet EU researchers say that this figure could represent less than half of the true toll, given that new studies are increasingly linking long-term exposure to traffic pollution to a range of chronic diseases.
Air pollution from traffic is killing vast numbers every year - and the problem is getting worse. Andrew Marszal

What is the biggest killer on our roads? It's not black ice, or drunk driving, or even badly installed accelerator pedals. In fact, it's air pollution – and it's getting worse. According to the most recent official figures – published back in 1998 – up to 24,000 people in Britain die before their time every year as a result of air pollution caused by vehicles, compared with 2,600 killed in road accidents. Yet EU researchers say that this figure could represent less than half of the true toll, given that new studies are increasingly linking long-term exposure to traffic pollution to a range of chronic diseases.
Last week, the House of Commons's Environmental Audit Committee heard evidence that about 35,000 people – or 51,500, if you use the methodology devised by the European Topic Centre on Air and Climate Change – died prematurely in 2005 as a result of exposure to tiny airborne particles generated by traffic. Professor Frank Kelly, an environmental health expert at King's College London, claimed that about 3,500 and possibly up to 8,000 deaths in London alone could be attributed to this kind of pollution.
At first sight, this idea seems strange. The pea-souper fogs that once defined our capital city have long vanished, the last straw being the so-called Great Smog of 1952, when a thick cloud of pollution settled over London and penetrated deep into its inhabitants' lungs for five days. The resultant 12,000 deaths led to new policies that aimed to cut industrial emissions – the main source of air pollution at the time. A couple of decades later, the fumes caused by traffic congestion (most notoriously in southern California) seemed to have been similarly defeated by the catalytic converter.
Although modern pollution is less visible, it is no less prevalent. Road transport is now responsible for up to 70 per cent of air pollution in urban areas, the two main culprits being nitrogen dioxide – increasingly believed to be a major cause of asthma in children and present at higher levels in London than any other capital in Europe – and tiny airborne particulates. Both are emitted by the combustion of fuel, although other particulates – sometimes as much as half of the total – can come from road dust and brake and tyre wear, which are harder to measure – or regulate.
Despite tighter emissions standards, both nitrogen dioxide and the particulates have remained in the atmosphere thanks to the rise of diesel engines, which emit less carbon dioxide but produce smaller and more chemically complex particulate matter damaging to human lungs. Indeed, diesels have risen from powering eight per cent of new car registrations in the early 1990s to more than 40 per cent today, while traffic volumes have risen by a quarter.
So what are the dangers? A report by the US-based Health Effects Institute, which draws on more than 700 recent studies, shows "strong evidence" that cardiovascular and lung disease can be the result of long-term exposure to high levels of air pollution. Particularly dangerous manifestations can include atherosclerosis – a hardening of the arteries which can lead to heart attack or stroke – and a narrowing of the airways known as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. These findings were not factored into the 12-year-old Defra figures for early deaths, which are yet to be updated to include the long-term effects of exposure. Nor did they include the fact that the HEI report points to stunted lung development in children and possibly complications during pregnancy as further likely hazards for those in highly exposed areas, such as homes sited within 500 metres of a major road (a category that includes nearly 12 million people in England alone, including a disproportionate number of poorer families and ethnic minorities). According to one study, children growing up with high exposure are unlikely ever to attain full lung function.
In its submissions to the Environmental Audit Committee, the Department for Transport insisted that adequate efforts were being made to reduce the impact of harmful traffic emissions. However, Graham Pendlebury, the department's environment and international director, has had to concede that a relatively small proportion of our resources is committed to air quality. Germany, for example, has roughly 40 "low emission zones" in city centres, designed to reduce pollution in the worst-hit areas; here, we only have one, which operates across London.
No wonder, then, that Britain has breached EU limits on airborne particulates (which are based on World Health Organisation recommendations) every year since the rules came into force in 2005, and is equally woeful in terms of nitrogen dioxide, for which new rules came in this year. EU limits for nitrogen dioxide for the whole of 2010 were breached in less than a month in London, and scores of town and cities are set to exceed the levels now in force.
The European Commission has launched legal action to force Britain to comply (the Government has until June to apply for an extension, although its last appeal for such was rejected back in December). If we are punished, the cost is expected to be about £300 million. Embarrassingly, the process will come to a head around the time of the 2012 Olympics, which London has promised will be the greenest ever.
As if this wasn't bad enough, the National Audit Office revealed last month that Britain is not on target to meet even its own objectives on five different air pollutant types. Progress in improving air quality has, it said, largely stalled over the past decade. Particulate matter is still most heavily concentrated in London, though several other cities, including Glasgow and Birmingham, avoided EU fines only after last-minute appeals for extensions.
What can be done? Giving evidence to the Commons committee, Prof Kelly said that the Government, the Mayor of London and local councils had to act decisively, as in the same way they had over obesity or smoking, adding that we need to reduce the number of vehicles on the roads "by at least 20 to 30 per cent". Some experts say that emissions from power stations and domestic gas boilers must also be addressed, with greater use made, for example, of clean renewable energy, and the promotion of the boiler scrappage scheme, which subsidises cleaner, modern gas boilers.
Others point out that air pollution and its devastating impact on public health have long been kept in the shadows by the more headline-grabbing concerns of the green movement: the decision to promote diesel engines, on the basis of their relatively lower carbon footprint, is a classic example. It would be ironic if we succeeded in saving the planet, only to choke to death in the process.

Elevated silver, barium and strontium in antlers, vegetation and soils sourced from CWD cluster areas: do Ag/Ba/Sr piezoelectric crystals represent the transmissible pathogenic agent in TSEs?

High levels of Silver (Ag), Barium (Ba) and Strontium (Sr) and low levels of copper (Cu) have been measured in the antlers, soils and pastures of the deer that are thriving in the chronic wasting disease (CWD) cluster zones in North America in relation to the areas where CWD and other transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) have not been reported. The elevations of Ag, Ba and Sr were thought to originate from both natural geochemical and artificial pollutant sources—stemming from the common practise of aerial spraying with ‘cloud seeding’ Ag or Ba crystal nuclei for rain making in these drought prone areas of North America, the atmospheric spraying with Ba based aerosols for enhancing/refracting radar and radio signal communications as well as the spreading of waste Ba drilling mud from the local oil/gas well industry across pastureland. These metals have subsequently bioconcentrated up the foodchain and into the mammals who are dependent upon the local Cu deficient ecosystems. A dual eco-prerequisite theory is proposed on the aetiology of TSEs which is based upon an Ag, Ba, Sr or Mn replacement binding at the vacant Cu/Zn domains on the cellular prion protein (PrP)/sulphated proteoglycan molecules which impairs the capacities of the brain to protect itself against incoming shockbursts of sound and light energy. Ag/Ba/Sr chelation of free sulphur within the biosystem inhibits the viable synthesis of the sulphur dependent proteoglycans, which results in the overall collapse of the Cu mediated conduction of electric signals along the PrP-proteoglycan signalling pathways; ultimately disrupting GABA type inhibitory currents at the synapses/end plates of the auditory/circadian regulated circuitry, as well as disrupting proteoglycan co-regulation of the growth factor signalling systems which maintain the structural integrity of the nervous system. The resulting Ag, Ba, Sr or Mn based compounds seed piezoelectric crystals which incorporate PrP and ferritin into their structure. These ferrimagnetically ordered crystals multireplicate and choke up the PrP-proteoglycan conduits of electrical conduction throughout the CNS. The second stage of pathogenesis comes into play when the pressure energy from incoming shock bursts of low frequency acoustic waves from low fly jets, explosions, earthquakes, etc. (a key eco-characteristic of TSE cluster environments) are absorbed by the rogue ‘piezoelectric’ crystals, which duly convert the mechanical pressure energy into an electrical energy which accumulates in the crystal-PrP-ferritin aggregates (the fibrils) until a point of ‘saturation polarization’ is reached. Magnetic fields are generated on the crystal surface, which initiate chain reactions of deleterious free radical mediated spongiform neurodegeneration in surrounding tissues. Since Ag, Ba, Sr or Mn based piezoelectric crystals are heat resistant and carry a magnetic field inducing pathogenic capacity, it is proposed that these ferroelectric crystal pollutants represent the transmissible, pathogenic agents that initiate TSE.

Questions parlementaires 10 mai 2007 E-2455/07
Question écrite posée par Erik Meijer (GUE/NGL) à la Commission
Objet:
Préoccupation croissante à l’égard des traces laissées par les avions, lesquelles ne contiennent plus uniquement de l’eau, mais engendrent des voiles laiteux de longue durée, conséquence potentielle de la présence de baryum, d’aluminium et de fer.
1. La Commission sait-elle que depuis 1999, les citoyens américains et canadiens se plaignent de plus en plus fréquemment d’un nouveau type de traces laissées dans l’air par des avions? Ces traces peuvent parfois rester en suspension pendant plusieurs heures et atteindre une extension largement supérieure, entraînant la formation de voiles laiteux baptisés « aerial obscuration » (« obscurations aériennes »). La Commission sait-elle que ce nouveau type de traces se distingue nettement des fines et courtes lignes blanches présentes dans l’air, baptisées « traînées de condensation » depuis l’invention du moteur à réaction, lesquelles ne restent pas plus de 20 minutes dans l’air et ne peuvent apparaître que si la vapeur d’eau se condense sur les particules de poussière en raison de la faiblesse des températures et d’un taux d’humidité élevé?
2. La Commission sait-elle que les enquêtes menées par ces plaignants, les observations des pilotes et les annonces des pouvoirs publics aboutissent de plus en plus fréquemment à l’hypothèse qu’en l’espèce, l’avion diffuse dans l’air sec de petites particules composées de baryum, d’aluminium et de fer, une substance immédiatement baptisée « chemtrails » (« traînées chimiques ») dans le cadre du débat en cours aux États-Unis?
3. Étant donné que ces traînées chimiques,
contrairement aux traînées de condensation, ne constituent pas un sous-produit inévitable du trafic aérien actuel, la Commission connaît-elle la finalité de la diffusion planétaire artificielle de ces substances d’origine terrestre? Possède-t-elle des effets favorables sur la production de pluie, les télécommunications ou la lutte contre le réchauffement de la planète?
4. Dans quelle mesure les obscurations aériennes et les traînées chimiques sont-elles actuellement présentes dans l’espace aérien européen, sachant que nombre de citoyens de notre continent sont désormais persuadés de leur présence croissante et s’inquiètent face au manque d’informations concernant ce phénomène et à l’absence d’explications à l’intention du public? Qui prend l’initiative de diffuser cette substance et d’où proviennent les financements?
5. Abstraction faite des conséquences positives recherchées par la diffusion de ces substances dans l’air, la Commission en connaît-elle également les inconvénients potentiels pour l’environnement, la santé publique, le trafic aérien et la réception des signaux télévisuels?
6. Comment empêcher des États européens ou des entreprises de prendre des mesures unilatérales dont les conséquences transfrontalières peuvent être considérées comme néfastes par d’autres États ou par des organisations de citoyens? Une coordination est-elle d’ores et déjà assurée sur ce plan? L’Union joue-t-elle un rôle à ce niveau ou attendez-vous à y jouer un rôle à l’avenir? Quels sont vos objectifs à cet égard?

- Réponse donnée par M. Dimas au nom de la
Commission - 26 juin 2007
1. La Commission a connaissance des affirmations que de tels modes et phénomènes existent. Cependant, la Commission n’a connaissance d’aucune preuve appuyant de telles affirmations. L’ampleur à laquelle les traînées de condensation des avions se forment et la vitesse à laquelle elles disparaissent est dans un premier temps déterminée par la pression, la température, et l’humidité relative pour un niveau de vol donné. Les propriétés du carburant et de la combustion et l’efficacité globale de la propulsion peuvent aussi avoir un impact. Tout changement ou tendance de l’importance des observations de traînées de condensation restant visibles ou se développant en nuages plus étendus pourraient donc être dus à des facteurs tels que:
conditions météorologiques
volume du trafic
efficacité des moteurs
2. La Commission a connaissance de telles affirmations mais n’a connaissance d’aucune preuve que des particules de baryum, d’aluminium, ou de fer sont émises, délibérément ou non, par des avions.
3. Non. Il ne peut être exclu que le relâchement de telles particules pourraient affecter les précipitations ou le changement de climat, mais, comme indiqué ci-dessus, la Commission n’a connaissance d’aucune preuve que de tels relâchements existent.
4. La Commission n’a connaissance d’aucune preuve que de telles méthodes sont employées en Europe.
5. Aucune des substances auxquelles il est fait allusion n’est dangereuse en soi (texte original: none of the substances referred to are hazardous per se), mais certains effets sur l’environnement et la santé publique ne peuvent être écartés si des relâchements à grande échelle se produisaient.
6. Comme indiqué ci-dessus, la Commission n’a connaissance d’aucune preuve suggérant qu’il y a des raisons d’agir.

Fiche toxicologique n° 125 - Baryum et composés
Toxicocinétique - Métabolisme
Les composés solubles des sels de baryum sont rapidement absorbés dans le tractus gastro-intestinal et les poumons. Le baryum absorbé se dépose dans les muscles, les poumons et surtout dans les os. Chez l’animal, l’absorption gastro-intestinale varie de 0,7 % à 85 % selon l’espèce (chlorure de baryum, environ 50 % chez le chien et 30% chez le rat et la souris), l’âge (absorption plus importante chez les animaux jeunes) et la nourriture (absorption diminuée en présence de nourriture dans le tractus gastro-intestinal). Chez le rat, après exposition orale à de faibles concentrations, l’absorption des sels de baryum est fonction de la solubilité de ces composés dans le milieu acide du tractus gastro-intestinal supérieur (chlorure > sulfate > carbonate); à fortes concentrations, l’absorption diminue car la conversion des sels de baryum en chlorure de baryum dans l’estomac est limitée. Dans le tractus respiratoire, les composés du baryum sont bien absorbés, y compris ceux qui sont peu solubles dans l’eau. L’absorption nasale et alvéolaire de chlorure de baryum est estimée, chez le rat, à 60-80% de la dose, 4 h après l’exposition.
La demi-vie du sulfate de baryum dans le tractus respiratoire inférieur est de 8j chez le chien (1,1 µg/l, 30-90 min. d’exposition). Chez le rat, 24h après instillation intratrachéale de sulfate de baryum marqué (2µg), 15,3 % de la radioactivité a disparu des poumons, soit par un mécanisme de clairance mucociliaire (7,9 %), soit par passage sanguin (7,4 %). Le baryum absorbé dans le sang disparaît en 24h; il se dépose dans les muscles, les poumons, et surtout dans les os (78% de la charge corporelle, 24h après exposition et 95 % après 11j), préférentiellement dans les zones de croissance et sur la surface. Dans les muscles, la concentration de baryum diminue lentement à partir de 30h après l’exposition; dans les os, la demi-vie d’élimination moyenne est d’environ 50j (66j dans le crâne et 88j dans la région caudale). De fortes concentrations sont parfois mesurées dans les yeux, principalement dans les structures pigmentées. De faibles quantités sont décelées dans l’aorte, les reins, le foie, la rate, le cerveau, le coeur et le pancréas et disparaissent en quelques jours. Le baryum peut traverser la barrière placentaire et atteindre le foetus.
Chez l’homme et le rat, le baryum est excrété essentiellement dans les fecès (95-98%) et faiblement dans l’urine (2-5%). Chez l’homme, environ 75% de la dose est éliminé en 3 jours et 10 à 20% pendant les 42 jours suivants; l’excrétion totale suit un modèle à 3 compartiments avec des demi-vies biologiques de 3,6, 34,2 et 1033 jours. Chez le rat, l’excrétion fécale représente 20% de la dose en 24h, contrairement au calcium qui est excrété essentiellement par l’urine.
Mode d’action
Le baryum se fixe aux protéines (54% de la dose), active la sécrétion de catécholamines par les surrénales et stimule les muscles. Ses effets toxiques sont essentiellement dus à une action sur les flux de potassium à travers les membranes des cellules excitables (nerfs, muscle, coeur). L’exposition de telles cellules au baryum provoque une diminution rapide de la perméabilité au potassium et de son efflux; ceci entraîne une baisse du potentiel de repos membranaire avec une hyper-irritabilité et une augmentation d’activité. Puisque le baryum augmente le transport actif du potassium du milieu extracellulaire vers la cellule et diminue son excrétion passive, il en découle une hypokaliémie.
Après ingestion aiguë ou administration parentérale de
fortes doses, le baryum induit une hypersalivation,
une dyspnée, des vomissements, des diarrhées, une
hypokaliémie, des effets cardiovasculaires
(hypertension et arythmies), des effets musculaires
(faiblesse, tremblements et paralysie), des
convulsions et la mort par arrêt cardiaque et
respiratoire. Les effets cardiaques et musculaires sont liés à une perte importante de potassium, du milieu extracellulaire vers la cellule, et sont réversibles après administration de potassium. L’action hypertensive du baryum n’est pas réversible après injection de potassium; elle serait due à une stimulation directe des muscles lisses artériels.
Des rats et des lapins ayant reçu une dose intratrachéale de carbonate de baryum (50 mg) présentent une sclérose pulmonaire, visible 9 mois après l’exposition, qui progresse vers une pneumonie fibreuse avec nécrose des membranes muqueuses des bronches. Le lapin (0,6ml/kg d’une suspension contenant 85% de sulfate de baryum, intratrachéal) ne présente pas de modification de la ventilation pulmonaire, du taux des gaz sanguins ou du poids des poumons; cependant, bronchopneumonie, bronchite ou bronchiolite réversibles sont observées pendant la première semaine.
Le chlorure de baryum dihydraté est irritant pour la peau, les yeux (iritis réversible) et le tractus respiratoire.
Subchronique et chronique
Aucun signe clinique n’est détecté chez des rats (2000 ppm, 15j) ou des souris (346 ppm, 15j) exposés au chlorure de baryum dans l’eau de boisson. Les souris exposées à 692 ppm (15j) présentent une augmentation de poids du foie.
A la dose de 1000 ppm de chlorure de baryum pendant 90j, des modifications ultrastructurelles apparaissent dans les glomérules rénaux du rat unilatéralement néphrectomisé; à 4000 ppm, on observe une baisse de poids, une diminution de consommation hydrique, une dilatation des tubules rénaux et une augmentation de la létalité. Des symptômes identiques sont observés chez la souris (4000 ppm, 13 sem.) avec une baisse de poids du foie et une néphropathie, multifocale à diffuse, caractérisée par une dilatation tubaire, une régénérescence et une atrophie.
Des rates exposées pendant 16 mois à 1, 10 ou 100 ppm (0,051- 0,51- 5,1 mg Ba/kg/j) dans l’eau de boisson, présentent, à la forte dose surtout, une augmentation de la pression artérielle moyenne ; la nourriture contenant un apport limité en calcium et potassium, pourrait contribuer à cet effet.
Une exposition au chlorure de baryum pendant 2 ans à des doses allant de 500 à 2500ppm, dans l’eau de boisson, induit, chez le rat, une baisse de poids corporel et une augmentation de la concentration de baryum sérique et osseux. Chez la souris, des doses semblables augmentent la létalité, la concentration de baryum sérique et le taux de néphropathies.
Le NOAEL (dose sans effet toxique observé), par voie orale chez la souris, est de 200 mg Ba/kg/j en exposition subchronique, 75 mg Ba/kg/j (mâles) ou 90 mg Ba/kg/j (femelles) en exposition chronique; chez le rat, le NOAEL subchronique est de 65 mg Ba/kg/j et le NOAEL chronique 60 mg Ba/kg/j (mâles) ou 45 mg Ba/kg/j (femelles).
Des rats mâles, exposés, par inhalation, à de la poussière de carbonate de baryum (5,2mg/m3, 4h/j, 6 mois), présentent une pression artérielle élevée, une baisse de la prise de poids, une diminution du taux sanguin d’hémoglobine, de glucose, de protéines, de cholineestérase et de thrombocytes, une augmentation du taux sanguin de leucocytes, de phosphore et de phosphatase alcaline et du taux urinaire de calcium. A l’autopsie, on observe une sclérose pulmonaire périvasculaire et péribronchique. Le NOEL (dose sans effet observé) est 0,8 mg Ba/m3, 4h/j, pendant 6 mois.
Génotoxicité
In vitro, le nitrate de baryum et le chlorure de baryum dihydraté ne sont pas mutagènes dans le test d’Ames sur S. typhimurium TA97, TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537, avec ou sans activation métabolique. Le chlorure de baryum est mutagène pour les cellules de lymphome de souris en culture en présence d’activateur métabolique mais n’induit pas, avec ou sans activation métabolique, d’aberration chromosomique ou d’échanges entre chromatides soeurs dans les cellules ovariennes de hamster chinois.
Cancérogenèse
Aucune augmentation de l’incidence tumorale n’est observée après exposition, dans l’eau de boisson, de rats ou de souris des deux sexes à 5 mg Ba/l (sous forme d’acétate de baryum), pendant toute la durée de leur vie ou à 2500 ppm de chlorure de baryum dihydraté pendant 2 ans.
Après exposition au chlorure de baryum dihydraté on observe une diminution par rapport aux témoins, en relation avec la dose, du taux de phéochromocytomes de la médullosurrénale et de leucémies à cellules mononucléées chez le rat mâle (500-2500ppm, 2 ans) et d’adénomes hépatocellulaires chez la souris mâle (2500ppm, 2 ans).
Effets sur la reproduction
Par voie orale, aucune modification cytologique testiculaire ou vaginale n’est observée après exposition au chlorure de baryum chez le rat (1000, 2000 ou 4000 ppm) ou la souris (500, 1000 ou 2000 ppm) dans l’eau de boisson pendant 60 jours pour les mâles ou 30 jours pour les femelles. Après accouplement, il n’y a pas de modification du taux ou de la durée de gestation, de la survie des petits ou du taux d’anomalies externes. Chez le rat, à la plus forte dose, on observe une légère réduction du nombre d’implants par mère et de la taille des portées à la naissance ainsi qu’une diminution significative, réversible en 5 jours, du poids des petits. Chez la souris, la taille des portées est diminuée pour la dose de 1000 ppm uniquement.
Une exposition, par inhalation, du rat mâle au carbonate de baryum (5,2 mg/m3, 4h/j, 6j/sem, 4 mois) diminue la mobilité spermatique, la résistance osmotique des spermatozoïdes et provoque la desquamation de l’épithélium des canaux spermatiques; chez les femelles (13,4 mg/m3, 4h/j, 6j/sem, 4 mois), on observe un raccourcissement de la durée du cycle ovarien et une atrésie folliculaire. Une augmentation de la létalité foetale est notée après accouplement de rats mâles, exposés à 5,2 mg/m3, avec des femelles non exposées ou de femelles exposées (13,4 mg/m3) avec des mâles exposés ou pas; dans ce cas, les nouveau-nés présentent un déficit de développement. Le NOAEL (dose sans effet toxique observé) est de 1,15 mg/m3.
Toxicité sur l’homme
Aiguë
Les intoxications aiguës résultent principalement d’ingestions volontaires ou de contaminations alimentaires. Elles sont particulièrement graves pour les composés solubles, ainsi que pour le carbonate de baryum, insoluble dans l’eau mais soluble en milieu acide.
Les effets toxiques sont liés à une stimulation des muscles lisses, striés et du muscle cardiaque, une hypokaliémie ainsi qu’à une irritation du tractus gastro-intestinal.
Le tableau clinique débute par des troubles digestifs à type de douleurs abdominales parfois violentes, de diarrhées pouvant être sanglantes, d’une hypersialorrhée, de nausées, de vomissements accompagnés d’une asthénie.
Rapidement surviennent des crampes, des contractures musculaires, puis une paralysie flasque, progressive des quatre membres, du diaphragme, des voies aériennes supérieures. Un cas de rhabdomyolyse a été décrit pour le BaCO3.
Des troubles cardio-vasculaires sont également présents à type de brady- ou tachycardie, d’extrasystoles ou de fibrillations ventriculaires et d’hypertension. Quelques rares cas de comas, non expliqués par les perturbations métaboliques ainsi que des convulsions, ont été rapportés lors d’intoxication liée au passage accidentel de sulfate de baryum dans le sang lors d’opacifications digestives.
Physiologiquement on observe une hypokaliémie accompagnée d’une acidose.
La mort peut survenir par insuffisance respiratoire ou fibrillation ventriculaire.
Les intoxications décrites par voie pulmonaire sont très rares. Un cas mortel très ancien est cité avec de l’oxyde de baryum. Un cas est décrit par inhalation de carbonate de baryum ayant entraîné des symptômes identiques à ceux décrits par ingestion. Pour les composés solubles, l’éventualité de ce risque est à prendre en compte.
Un cas d’intoxication aiguë a été décrit lors d’une brûlure, par du chlorure de baryum, de 20% de la surface corporelle, dont 5% au troisième degré.
Chronique
Les études sur des populations professionnellement exposées de manière chronique sont relativement rares ou anciennes.
Parmi les populations exposées aux composés insolubles par inhalation, principalement les mineurs, de nombreux cas de barytoses ont été décrits. Il s’agit d’une pneumoconiose de type non collagéneuse, avec une réaction stromale minimale, une absence de fibrose et de destruction de l’alvéole pulmonaire et un caractère réversible des lésions.
Cliniquement, on n’observe aucun symptôme, la fonction
pulmonaire n’est pas modifiée. Seule la radiographie
pulmonaire montre des micronodules, très nombreux et
diffus sur l’ensemble du poumon. Leur nombre peut les
faire apparaître confluents. Ils traduisent
essentiellement la présence de sulfate de baryum, du
fait de sa radio-opacité. Après cessation de
l’exposition, ces images disparaissent
progressivement.
Quelques études rapportent la présence d’hypertension,
de bronchite chronique, de troubles cardiaques mal
définis parmi les populations exposées
professionnellement ou par contamination
environnementale (eau chargée en baryum
principalement). Elles sont cependant toutes
partielles ou critiquables sur le plan méthodologique.
Ces effets ne sont donc pas démontrés.
Sur la peau et les muqueuses, l’oxyde et l’hydroxyde de baryum peuvent exercer une action caustique. Des dépôts osseux avec ostéonécrose, visibles en radiographies, en particulier au niveau du maxillaire et du fémur, ont été décrits.
Recommandations
En raison de la toxicité et des propriétés explosives du baryum et de ses composés, des mesures sévères de prévention et de protection s’imposent lors de leur stockage et de leur manipulation.
Manipulation
Les prescriptions relatives aux zones de stockage sont applicables aux ateliers où sont utilisés le baryum et ses composés. En outre:
Instruire le personnel des risques présentés par les produits, des précautions à observer et des mesures à prendre en cas d’accident.
Éviter l’inhalation de vapeurs ou de brouillards.
Effectuer en appareil clos toute opération industrielle qui s’y prête. Prévoir une aspiration du produit à sa source d’émission, une ventilation générale des locaux ainsi que des appareils de protection respiratoire pour certains travaux de courte durée, à caractère exceptionnel ou pour des interventions d’urgence.
Procéder à des contrôles d’atmosphère.
Éviter le contact du produit avec la peau et les yeux. Mettre à la disposition du personnel des vêtements de protection, des masques, des gants et des lunettes de sécurité. Ces effets seront maintenus en bon état et nettoyés après chaque usage. Le personnel chargé du nettoyage sera averti des risques présentés par les produits.
Prévoir l’installation de douches et de fontaines oculaires.
Ne pas fumer, boire et manger dans les ateliers.
Observer une hygiène corporelle et vestimentaire très stricte: passage à la douche et changement de vêtements après le travail, lavage des mains et du visage avant les repas, séparation stricte des vêtements de travail et des effets personnels.
Ne jamais procéder à des travaux sur ou dans des cuves et réservoirs contenant ou ayant contenu du baryum ou ses composés sans prendre les précautions d’usage.
En cas de déversement accidentel de baryum ou d’un de ses composés solides, récupérer immédiatement les déchets - en évitant de générer des poussières - dans des récipients prévus à cet effet, propres et secs, résistants et étanches, mis sous atmosphère inerte (pour le baryum). Lorsqu’il s’agit d’un composé soluble du baryum, laver à grande eau la surface souillée.
En cas de déversement accidentel de liquide contenant des composés solubles, récupérer le produit après l’avoir recouvert de matériau absorbant inerte et non combustible (sable, vermiculite). Laver ensuite à grande eau la surface souillée.
Ne pas rejeter à l’égout les eaux polluées par des composés du baryum.
À défaut de recyclage possible, éliminer les déchets dans les conditions autorisées par la réglementation.
Au point de vue médical
Pour les composés solubles du baryum :
On se montrera prudent avant d’affecter des sujets atteints de cardiopathies à des postes comportant un risque d’exposition à ces composés.
La surveillance médicale comportera éventuellement une surveillance électrocardiographique. La nécessité d’une radiographie pulmonaire est laissée à l’appréciation du médecin du travail. On recherchera particulièrement des symptômes digestifs ou pulmonaires, des crampes ou faiblesses musculaires, une hypertension. Le dosage du potassium plasmatique peut être envisagé en cas d’exposition notable. L’importance de cette surveillance sera ajustée en fonction des résultats de l’évaluation des risques.
En cas de projection sur la peau ou les muqueuses, laver immédiatement à l’eau tiède pendant 15 minutes. S’il existe une brûlure étendue une hospitalisation en urgence est nécessaire.
En cas d’ingestion accidentelle, si le sujet est conscient, tenter de le faire vomir; alerter le médecin et organiser un transfert vers un milieu hospitalier.
En cas d’inhalation accidentelle, une hospitalisation pour traitement éventuel et surveillance est nécessaire.
Pour les composés insolubles du baryum:
L’affectation de sujets atteints de pathologies pulmonaires sera discutée en fonction de leur état et du niveau d’exposition prévisible.
Une radiographie pulmonaire à l’embauche est nécessaire, sa réalisation périodique par la suite est laissée à l’appréciation du médecin du travail.
Le baryum peut être dosé dans le plasma ou dans les urines, dans tous les cas en fin de poste. Il existe cependant de larges variations individuelles. Chez des sujets non professionnellement exposés, on retrouve 0,2 µg/100ml dans le sang total (écarts: 0,047 à 0,24), 2,7µg/l dans l’urine (0,25 à 5,7). Il est nécessaire d’éviter toute contamination du tube de prélèvement.

Toxic Barium In Chemtrails -
What It Means
By Dick Eastman
11-25-7
If a mass of barium is vaporized in space, within seconds much of the barium becomes ionized by the suns rays, producing a highly reflective ionic cloud which deflects newly arriving solar energy back into space, thereby preventing the ground from warming to the temperature it otherwise would have attained.
Cooler-than-otherwise surface temperature means the air immediately above the ground will not heat as much as it would have, not expand and rise (evacuate upwards) as it would have, and not create the lower air pressure (relative vacuum) in that location that would have obtained otherwise. In short, laying cloud causes air pressure to be higher in regions where the sun has been prevented from reaching the ground. Oversimplifying somewhat, it means that there will be less « pull » and more « push » affecting movement of air in neighboring regions of near-surface air than otherwise; and that, of course, means control of the weather.
By using this push-pull
(« high-pressure-block/low-pressure-suck ») technique, the movement of neighboring parcels of air—the parcels may be wet, dry, hot or cold, or rotating (cyclonic) -- can be redirected from the course that a super-high-speed computer pre-determined they would have taken to new courses calculated during the process. The calculations take into account (plug into the set of simultaneous equations that comprise the model) all of the variables (interacting factors) fed in real time from sensors collecting data from thousands of points in land, sea air and space. The planes laying reflective cloud change their course seveal times in the middle of a run as new computations dictate the latest requirements in the weather intervention to effect the desired result.
It is impossible to predict weather more than two or so weeks in advance, because of the errors that creep in each time you multiply a number shortened in the decimal places (man is limited in his data measurements to only so many decimal places and each time different measures are multiplied accuracy is lost, the prediction becomes accurate to fewer and fewer « significant figures. » But the fact that no one computation can predict weather too far ahead ( because of the just-mentioned rounding of data numbers that takes place both in the initial gathering data and in subsequent multiplication of these numbers in « running the model ») does not rule out effective weather modification, as mathematician John von Neumann pointed out. The problem of prediction is solved by continuous computing and building the desired weather effect through successive short-run approximations.
Clandestine weather modification is done by continuous high-speed computing generating tolerably accurate short range-predictions of ,1) what will happen without intervention and 2) what will happen towards the desired event given a « fitted » a trial intervention. When an intervention is found that moves the weather system closer to producing the desired effect, the CWM planes are instructed to execute that intervention. And even as the planes are heading to their assigned targets a new intervention is being computed for achieving the next approximation to what is needed to get what is wanted. In this way short-range interventions following one after another so that the final goal—a drought in one place, a flood in another, a hurricane landing on a particular point on a coast -- is attained. This is clandestine weather modification—also called weaponized weather modification—or perhaps more dramatically but no less accurately, playing God with peoples lives.
The new weather modification leglislation passed by Congress has been crafted to conceal, not to regulate this activity. The legislation does not recognize the technology and so these interventions are exempted. (It’s like a company continuing to sell a cancer-causing product simply because the Food and Drug Administration has not officially recognized this effect.)
Also, there are those who argue that the laying of ionized cloud is part of a benevolent plan to save the earth from global warming due to greenhouse-effect-producing gases in the atmosphere. While it is true that physicist Edward Teller did make such a proposal, the last thing you should think is that weaponized weather modification has anything to do with the government secretly saving us from global warming. Global warming a deception, the result of selecting the research, suppressing research, and differentially rewarding researchers for the conclusions they reach. Global warming is a cover for the use of weather technology by the most powerful people in the world for their own economic and geopolitical benefit. Global warming is more real than space aliens at Roswell or ray guns bringing down the twin towers of the WTC. Increased carbon dioxide is not a threat, but a potential boon to mankind. The global warming deception both conceals weather crimes (unlegislated crimes against humanity) for profit and it is used as an excuse for international agencies (copntrolled by the weather atrocity perpetrators themselves) to take over more of the economic activity of the human race.
Dick Eastman
Yakima, Washington
Clandestine Weather Modification
I spent several years on the « chemtrail issue », eventurally calling the activity « clandestine weather modification » and determining that it works like this:
The cloud cover that is generated causes the surface of the earth (land or sea) to be cooler than otherwise.
Cooler surface means the air directly above the ground or ocean will be less warmed than otherwise, which means less air will rise than would have risen otherwise, which means the pressure in that area will be higher than it would have been otherwise, which means that air flows will be redirected.
Note: Whenever a high pressure area is to your right you will have wind at your back. This is called the Buys-Ballot rule. Thus, to create wind at your back create high pressure at your right—or more specfically, have an aircraft lay cloud so that to your right the ground will be cooler with less thermal energy from the sun, with the near-surface air therefore less heated, and the pressure therefore higher. Explanation: Air does not just pour straight into a low pressure area. This is because of the spinning of the earth producing the Coriolis Effect. Try tossing a ball back and forth with someone while standing on a gigantic rotating platter. The air molecules are like the ball moving in straight lines over the rotating earth.
With this simple ability to create higher than otherwise pressure by laying cloud, if you have an amazingly high powered/fast computer (the National Science Foundation computer was the fastest known in the world the last time I looked) and a powerful enough weather model (systems of simultaneous equations with thousands of real data coefficients all continuously updated) then you can control major weather events with this proviso:
Even with the most complete data, the best model and the fastest computer, mankind’s continuing inability to gather data and compute data out to enough decimal places will yield eventual big-time error as approximation/estimate computations are multiplied too many times in the computation (fancifully called the « chaos » effect.) This limits the ability to predict weather in a single computation to perhaps a week or two.
However, this is enough to modify weather because all
that is needed is a succession of fresh short-term
interventions. Continuous inverventions and continuous
re-computing affording successive approximations to
the desired effect to enable clandestine weather modification; and so parcels of air that are hot or cold, wet or dry, spinning or not spinning, can be redirected.
If hot air is contained in one area, its movement slowed by high pressure areas blocking its usual movement, that air will become hotter, i.e. as when Yugoslavia was fried in 124 degree heat to bring down Slobodan Milosovic. The Sahara heat from the south was kept in the Mediterrainian area by chemtrailing—I call it « cloudtrailing »—creating high pressure in Central Europe where it would ordinarily have circulated. The air parcel hung in the Mediterrainain getting hotter and hotter.
Also when you put « chemtrailed » cloud cover over the central Pacific south of the equator, the higher-than-normal air pressure—remember the sea surface gets cooler than normal so the air above the sea does not get warmed as much -- the air does not rise as it would have; it does not create the relative vaccum (low pressure) to maintain the wind.
So in this way you stop the prevailing winds (the air moving west) and this in turn stops the South Equatorial Current normally pushed by those winds, which in turn stops the Peru Current behind it (replacing the water that went west) that normally brings cold arctic surface waters (and fish) up the west coast of South America. And you have created the El Niño effect which devestates the economies of many countries (including our own).
The conspiracy is that El Niño and other high-impact weather events really are under control of powerful private interests.
Of course there are other aspects to it: Using the spin of one system to accelerate another of smaller scale; changing the radius of a cyclonic system to speed it up; altering the intensity of hurricanes by seeding near the wall of the eye etc. My goal here is merely to convince you of the validity of one aspect of current CWM technology. I have merely presented the simple model of redirecting weather movements by the creation of high pressure zones. I do not deny that the weather is complex. Remember, the economy is not complex either, but the supply and demand model nevertheless provides players with power to predict and control economic events.
No critic on usenet weather and physics newsgroups has ever touched this argument. The science is rock solid and the computation, modelling, monitoring and cloud-laying systems all exist. Billions have been spent—and the elite does not spend money like that merely to know when to put their cars in their garages. No meterologist or earth scientist has agrued against what I am saying and many meterologists have said they are open to the possibility. An Israeli meterologist who read my articles on CWM on the Usenet in the late 1990’s informed me that Israel gets 21 percent of its rain from weather modification.
Also, National Science Foundation has given its weather models and global weather monitoring feedback to Red China, while it does not share this super data with the National Weather Service. The Chinese are the world’s experts in medium-term weather modification. Yet in the United States weather modification is a taboo subject. Americans still think of it in terms of cloud seeding or carboning the sky to warm and dissipate cloud (the van Stratton effect). We are left to guess what methods the Chinese use. My guess is that they use CWM.
I suppose I would have gotten further in getting the word out if I didn’t put so many ideas in one sentence all the time. Editing my own writing is impossible because when I try I only think of more qualifying and elaborating phrases to include, etc. I invite anyone to break down the above and put it out on their own. It never has recieved a clear statment for the general public.
The existence and criminal use of CWM is something that everyone in the world should be made to understand. Forget the « Global Warming » myth—which I believe is mere cover for what is really being done. The people who brought you 9-11 are capable of doing a lot worse with CWM—in fact they already have.
One more thing: The people who are controlling the weather are more interested in destroying crops for geopolitical purposes (weaponized weather modification) and for economic purposes than for « benefiting farmers. » If you buy agricultural commodities futures (rights to buy farm products in the future at a given price) and then destroy this crop around the world using CWM to raise the price (supply and demand) you really « make a killing » in every sense of the word.
Did I mention that hurricane systems can also be steered by this process? A hurricane is simply a spinning parcel of air. The rotating parcel moves along like any other parcel of air, pushed and pulled by differences in air pressure in neighboring regions. There is as much money to be made following a hurricane as there is following the invasion of a Muslim country. Katrina? And remember, the ruling minority are Malthusians—they think it is doing God a favor to kill off surplus population. In this way they justify their depradations.
And were tornadoes in Washington D.C. on recent year meant to send the same message as the anthrax scare?
Google Dick + Eastman + Clandestine Weather Modification in google groups from about 1998 to 2002 and you will see about a hundred messages with documentation, first hand observation, an inventory of the technology at the service of clandestine weather modification, debate, and forwarded letters sent to me from individuals around the world—including a letter from a man who layed chemtrails over the Indian Ocean but didn’t know what the mission was about.
Unfortunately I left all this behind me following 9-11 and especially after the Pentagon security camera video was released in March 2002.
One more thing: When you tell people about this they just reply by dropping the name HARP as if that magic word makes everything I have uncovered about the true purpose of « chemtrailing » irrelevant and so is forgotten. HARP is a system that can heat parcels of air (whatever else it does) and so can create low pressure areas, instead of high ones, -- or so I speculate—but that does not change the fact that creation of high pressure areas by laying cloud is being done with disastrous effects on agriculture, water needs, farm communities, all regions hit by steered cyclonic weather and the general economy.
Bottom line: Chemtrails—cloudtrails -- although less conspicuous than in the late 90’s (perhaps because some of us are on to them) is still being done and it is still mass-murder and a crime against humanity if there ever was one.

Oversimplifying somewhat, it means that there will be less « pull » and more « push » affecting movement of air in neighboring regions of near-surface air than otherwise; and that, of course, means control of the weather.
By using this push-pull
(« high-pressure-block/low-pressure-suck ») technique, the movement of neighboring parcels of air—the parcels may be wet, dry, hot or cold, or rotating (cyclonic) -- can be redirected from the course that a super-high-speed computer pre-determined they would have taken to new courses calculated during the process. The calculations take into account (plug into the set of simultaneous equations that comprise the model) all of the variables (interacting factors) fed in real time from sensors collecting data from thousands of points in land, sea air and space. The planes laying reflective cloud change their course seveal times in the middle of a run as new computations dictate the latest requirements in the weather intervention to effect the desired result.
It is impossible to predict weather more than two or so weeks in advance, because of the errors that creep in each time you multiply a number shortened in the decimal places (man is limited in his data measurements to only so many decimal places and each time different measures are multiplied accuracy is lost, the prediction becomes accurate to fewer and fewer « significant figures. » But the fact that no one computation can predict weather too far ahead ( because of the just-mentioned rounding of data numbers that takes place both in the initial gathering data and in subsequent multiplication of these numbers in « running the model ») does not rule out effective weather modification, as mathematician John von Neumann pointed out. The problem of prediction is solved by continuous computing and building the desired weather effect through successive short-run approximations.
Clandestine weather modification is done by continuous high-speed computing generating tolerably accurate short range-predictions of ,1) what will happen without intervention and 2) what will happen towards the desired event given a « fitted » a trial intervention. When an intervention is found that moves the weather system closer to producing the desired effect, the CWM planes are instructed to execute that intervention. And even as the planes are heading to their assigned targets a new intervention is being computed for achieving the next approximation to what is needed to get what is wanted. In this way short-range interventions following one after another so that the final goal—a drought in one place, a flood in another, a hurricane landing on a particular point on a coast -- is attained. This is clandestine weather modification—also called weaponized weather modification—or perhaps more dramatically but no less accurately, playing God with peoples lives.
The new weather modification leglislation passed by Congress has been crafted to conceal, not to regulate this activity. The legislation does not recognize the technology and so these interventions are exempted. (It’s like a company continuing to sell a cancer-causing product simply because the Food and Drug Administration has not officially recognized this effect.)
Also, there are those who argue that the laying of ionized cloud is part of a benevolent plan to save the earth from global warming due to greenhouse-effect-producing gases in the atmosphere. While it is true that physicist Edward Teller did make such a proposal, the last thing you should think is that weaponized weather modification has anything to do with the government secretly saving us from global warming. Global warming a deception, the result of selecting the research, suppressing research, and differentially rewarding researchers for the conclusions they reach. Global warming is a cover for the use of weather technology by the most powerful people in the world for their own economic and geopolitical benefit. Global warming is more real than space aliens at Roswell or ray guns bringing down the twin towers of the WTC. Increased carbon dioxide is not a threat, but a potential boon to mankind. The global warming deception both conceals weather crimes (unlegislated crimes against humanity) for profit and it is used as an excuse for international agencies (copntrolled by the weather atrocity perpetrators themselves) to take over more of the economic activity of the human race.
Dick Eastman

Clandestine Weather Modification
I spent several years on the « chemtrail issue », eventurally calling the activity « clandestine weather modification » and determining that it works like this:
The cloud cover that is generated causes the surface of the earth (land or sea) to be cooler than otherwise.
Cooler surface means the air directly above the ground or ocean will be less warmed than otherwise, which means less air will rise than would have risen otherwise, which means the pressure in that area will be higher than it would have been otherwise, which means that air flows will be redirected.
Note: Whenever a high pressure area is to your right you will have wind at your back. This is called the Buys-Ballot rule. Thus, to create wind at your back create high pressure at your right—or more specfically, have an aircraft lay cloud so that to your right the ground will be cooler with less thermal energy from the sun, with the near-surface air therefore less heated, and the pressure therefore higher. Explanation: Air does not just pour straight into a low pressure area. This is because of the spinning of the earth producing the Coriolis Effect. Try tossing a ball back and forth with someone while standing on a gigantic rotating platter. The air molecules are like the ball moving in straight lines over the rotating earth.
With this simple ability to create higher than otherwise pressure by laying cloud, if you have an amazingly high powered/fast computer (the National Science Foundation computer was the fastest known in the world the last time I looked) and a powerful enough weather model (systems of simultaneous equations with thousands of real data coefficients all continuously updated) then you can control major weather events with this proviso:
Even with the most complete data, the best model and the fastest computer, mankind’s continuing inability to gather data and compute data out to enough decimal places will yield eventual big-time error as approximation/estimate computations are multiplied too many times in the computation (fancifully called the « chaos » effect.) This limits the ability to predict weather in a single computation to perhaps a week or two.
However, this is enough to modify weather because all
that is needed is a succession of fresh short-term
interventions. Continuous inverventions and continuous
re-computing affording successive approximations to
the desired effect to enable clandestine weather modification; and so parcels of air that are hot or cold, wet or dry, spinning or not spinning, can be redirected.
If hot air is contained in one area, its movement slowed by high pressure areas blocking its usual movement, that air will become hotter, i.e. as when Yugoslavia was fried in 124 degree heat to bring down Slobodan Milosovic. The Sahara heat from the south was kept in the Mediterrainian area by chemtrailing—I call it « cloudtrailing »—creating high pressure in Central Europe where it would ordinarily have circulated. The air parcel hung in the Mediterrainain getting hotter and hotter.
Also when you put « chemtrailed » cloud cover over the central Pacific south of the equator, the higher-than-normal air pressure—remember the sea surface gets cooler than normal so the air above the sea does not get warmed as much -- the air does not rise as it would have; it does not create the relative vaccum (low pressure) to maintain the wind.
So in this way you stop the prevailing winds (the air moving west) and this in turn stops the South Equatorial Current normally pushed by those winds, which in turn stops the Peru Current behind it (replacing the water that went west) that normally brings cold arctic surface waters (and fish) up the west coast of South America. And you have created the El Niño effect which devestates the economies of many countries (including our own).
The conspiracy is that El Niño and other high-impact weather events really are under control of powerful private interests.
Of course there are other aspects to it: Using the spin of one system to accelerate another of smaller scale; changing the radius of a cyclonic system to speed it up; altering the intensity of hurricanes by seeding near the wall of the eye etc. My goal here is merely to convince you of the validity of one aspect of current CWM technology. I have merely presented the simple model of redirecting weather movements by the creation of high pressure zones. I do not deny that the weather is complex. Remember, the economy is not complex either, but the supply and demand model nevertheless provides players with power to predict and control economic events.
No critic on usenet weather and physics newsgroups has ever touched this argument. The science is rock solid and the computation, modelling, monitoring and cloud-laying systems all exist. Billions have been spent—and the elite does not spend money like that merely to know when to put their cars in their garages. No meterologist or earth scientist has agrued against what I am saying and many meterologists have said they are open to the possibility. An Israeli meterologist who read my articles on CWM on the Usenet in the late 1990’s informed me that Israel gets 21 percent of its rain from weather modification.
Also, National Science Foundation has given its weather models and global weather monitoring feedback to Red China, while it does not share this super data with the National Weather Service. The Chinese are the world’s experts in medium-term weather modification. Yet in the United States weather modification is a taboo subject. Americans still think of it in terms of cloud seeding or carboning the sky to warm and dissipate cloud (the van Stratton effect). We are left to guess what methods the Chinese use. My guess is that they use CWM.
I suppose I would have gotten further in getting the word out if I didn’t put so many ideas in one sentence all the time. Editing my own writing is impossible because when I try I only think of more qualifying and elaborating phrases to include, etc. I invite anyone to break down the above and put it out on their own. It never has recieved a clear statment for the general public.
The existence and criminal use of CWM is something that everyone in the world should be made to understand. Forget the « Global Warming » myth—which I believe is mere cover for what is really being done. The people who brought you 9-11 are capable of doing a lot worse with CWM—in fact they already have.
One more thing: The people who are controlling the weather are more interested in destroying crops for geopolitical purposes (weaponized weather modification) and for economic purposes than for « benefiting farmers. » If you buy agricultural commodities futures (rights to buy farm products in the future at a given price) and then destroy this crop around the world using CWM to raise the price (supply and demand) you really « make a killing » in every sense of the word.
Did I mention that hurricane systems can also be steered by this process? A hurricane is simply a spinning parcel of air. The rotating parcel moves along like any other parcel of air, pushed and pulled by differences in air pressure in neighboring regions. There is as much money to be made following a hurricane as there is following the invasion of a Muslim country. Katrina? And remember, the ruling minority are Malthusians—they think it is doing God a favor to kill off surplus population. In this way they justify their depradations.
And were tornadoes in Washington D.C. on recent year meant to send the same message as the anthrax scare?
Google Dick + Eastman + Clandestine Weather Modification in google groups from about 1998 to 2002 and you will see about a hundred messages with documentation, first hand observation, an inventory of the technology at the service of clandestine weather modification, debate, and forwarded letters sent to me from individuals around the world—including a letter from a man who layed chemtrails over the Indian Ocean but didn’t know what the mission was about.
Unfortunately I left all this behind me following 9-11 and especially after the Pentagon security camera video was released in March 2002.
One more thing: When you tell people about this they just reply by dropping the name HARP as if that magic word makes everything I have uncovered about the true purpose of « chemtrailing » irrelevant and so is forgotten. HARP is a system that can heat parcels of air (whatever else it does) and so can create low pressure areas, instead of high ones, -- or so I speculate—but that does not change the fact that creation of high pressure areas by laying cloud is being done with disastrous effects on agriculture, water needs, farm communities, all regions hit by steered cyclonic weather and the general economy.
Bottom line: Chemtrails—cloudtrails -- although less conspicuous than in the late 90’s (perhaps because some of us are on to them) is still being done and it is still mass-murder and a crime against humanity if there ever was one.

Chemtrails Coming Out Of The Closet?
By William Thomas
8-31-5
Nearly seven years after extensive « lay downs » of lingering and spreading white plumes were first reported smearing skies over across North America, Europe is in an uproar and Washington could be close to coming clean about chemtrails.
At least the Bush White house will soon have a legitimate weather control agency to finally « launder » one of the biggest cons ever perpetrated.
Introduced in the US Senate on March 1, 2005, Bill S517 calls for a US « Weather Modification Advisory and Research Board » to officially commence operations in October 2005. When passed as expected, this law will make large-scale chemical alteration of the atmosphere legal across a formerly free and beautiful land called America.
It’s already happening. Less than two weeks before the bill was introduced, Linda wrote from « up here in the mountains of northeast Georgia » of the worst spray day she had ever seen. « Not one day in the past two months have we had a blue sky with normal clouds, » Linda wrote. Even normal clouds « are ‘laced’ with whatever the hell is coming out of those white planes that have no engine sounds, even when they fly low enough to see there is no printing anywhere on the planes. »
Several years ago the US Air Force stated that it was repainting its silver aircraft white, and retrofitting its jet tanker fleet with « hush kits » to silence their engines.
DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THE WEATHER
Whatever fresh environmental disaster Bill S517 accomplishes, this bill will ease the way for admission of a project suspected by many and confirmed by air traffic controllers at America’s biggest airports. When and if the US public demands that their government « do something » about the extreme weather pummeling their neighborhoods, Washington will be able to officially reply, « We are. »
Intended to « develop and implement a comprehensive and coordinated national weather modification policy, » the board is tasked with coordinating state and federal weather modification efforts. It’s direct mandate is stepped-up research and development aimed at developing experimental « models, devices, equipment, materials, and processes » to change or control, « by artificial methods » the development of clouds and/or precipitation in the troposphere. This weather-forming region of the atmosphere lies between Earth’s surface and the stratosphere, starting around 35,000 feet.
The federal weather modifiers will now directly oversee the cloud-seeding operations currently being carried out over dozens of states to increase rain and snowfall for irrigation, electrical power and winter recreation purposes. As droughts intensify under an onslaught of moisture-absorbing chemicals dispensed behind ozone-destroying jet tankers, and future towns wash away in sudden flash floods triggered by rain-inducing atmospheric tinkering, these unnatural disasters and other « inadvertent » effects of weather modification will be closely « studied » by the newly created board.
But no studies have been released on the implications of wide-scale alteration of regional atmospheric heat balances.
Large-scale weather modification is banned under the United Nations Environmental Modification Convention signed by Washington in 1970.
CHEMTRAILS 2005
Meanwhile, recent heavy « Chemtrail » spraying over Portland, Oregon and Canada’s west coast has eased off once again. Another long-time Chemtrail « hot zone », Santa Cruz, California continues reporting clear blue skies unmarked by the chemplanes’ ugly scrawl.
As recently as May 2005, a Swiss resident sent photographs to Meria Heller’s website, reporting: « Today was one of the heaviest Spraying in Switzerland ever. »
CHEMTRAILS CLOSE-UP
Some Canadians also have their eyes wide open. in June 2005, large graffiti spray-painted on a major overpass in West Vancouver advised motorists: WAKE UP, LOOK UP, CHEMTRAILS ARE EVERYWHERE.
AIR FORCE INSIDER DESCRIBES WEATHER MOD MISSIONS
An active duty air force crew chief has described environmental combat missions already being flown by specially-outfitted C-130 Hercules transports, which can be reloaded, refueled and relaunched in just 10 minutes to continue their assault on violent storms afflicting US communities. Flown by regular air force pilots, these « science flights » include onboard meteorologists, who painstakingly log the results of each mission.
Big storm fronts and hurricanes require a vast amount of absorbent chemicals to reduce their destructive power. To achieve the fast turn-around times needed to complete their missions, flights of returning C-130s taxi to a stop and immediately commence refueling as the empty onboard spray canister is removed. as soon as the empty canister is clear of the aircraft, a waiting truck wheels a semi-trailer-size container of sky-seeding chemicals to the plane’s lowered rear ramp, where it is slid inside on rails like a gigantic « soda dispenser ».
The crew chief added that other spray missions spread (barium) chemtrails to facilitate 3D radar mapping of the entire continental United States. He also said that the air force has been spraying storm fronts « for a long time ». The military’s main interest, he added, is experimentation aimed at gaining control of the weather for military use.
Did the air force spray this year’s first Caribbean hurricane, in which the western quadrant disintegrated just before making its Texas landfall? « There’s no reason they wouldn’t, » the crew chief replied.
But C-130 turboprops would not necessarily be used to try to influence hurricanes that typically release more energy than all atomic arsenals combined. Referring to the 757s recently modified for aerial spraying, the crew chief told willthomas.net, « We’ve got them, but I can’t talk about them. »
He added that many people in the air force « are aware of William Thomas » and his reporting on chemtrails. The crew chief confirmed that this reporter « has it mostly right » concerning the application and purposes behind chemtrails. But would not elaborate on my reporting.
EUROPEAN CHEMTRAIL UPROAR
Meanwhile, the chemtrails controversy has taken Europe by storm following a series of articles by Swiss freelance journalist Gabriel Stetter in the German popular science magazine Raum+Zeit (Space and Time), circulation circa 50,000.
Stetter’s first article, « White Skies » created a public relations nightmare for Greenpeace when it informed readers in January 2004 how « Thousands of people were thoroughly shocked when they realised, and were informed by Greenpeace in Germany, Switzerland and Austria that-for some reason or other-Greenpeace has no interest in the Chemtrail question whatsoever. »
The Swiss government also came under public pressure to explain the checkerboards being painted in its skies. On March 5, 2004 the Environment Department in Berne, Switzerland responded to an inquiry by Rudolf Rechsteiner, Social Democratic member of parliament, admitting that « A number of ideas exist that show how it would be possible to reduce global warming by technical means, at least in the short term. »
But these ideas, the government office hastened to add, « are no more than theoretical. We are not aware of any practical application of these methods, either at home or abroad. »
Ten days later, Greenpeace Switzerland climate and transport expert Cyrill Studer wrote an internal memo assuring colleagues that while he had « heard of the chemtrails phenomenon, » for the present, Greenpeace « will not be following up the theme of chemtrails. »
Two reasons for inaction by Greenpeace climate change activists were given. First, Studer explained, « There is not a sufficiently solid scientific basis » for Greenpeace to risk its budget and reputation verifying this « supposed phenomenon ». To do so, he added in his memo to Greenpeace staff, « would overstretch our capacities.Important elements of our climate campaign would suffer, particularly the promotion of energy efficiency and of renewable energies, or our active influence in present-day politics. »
Outside Greenpeace’s corporate offices, the controversy continued. On June 11 German Greenpeace spokeswoman Kristine Läger told concerned constituents:
The idea of reducing global warming by putting chemicals in the atmosphere has been around a long time. There are various proposals in this direction, suggesting the chemicals should be independently sprayed and that they should be mixed with the fuel of ordinary passenger aircraft. Whether in Germany such proposals have reached the point of actual realization is highly questionable. So far as we are aware there are no indications from research and observation of weather and climate that these so-called chemtrails exist. Nor are we aware of any project that has been realized in practice.. in all probability this is not happening.
But Gabriel Stetter believes that the Greenpeace « Rainbow Warriors » know all about the rainbows in the sky. They probably also know of geoengineering studies to reduce incoming sunlight and slow global warming issued by the National Academy of Sciences. « And they may even have taken a look at the Welsbach Patent, » he writes. « But they have no idea what conclusions to draw from the chessboard pattern suspended in the Hamburg sky or the aluminium-enriched ‘rainbows’.
« Supposing the word ‘chemtrails’ appeared in print in the Greenpeace Magazine, » Stetter speculates. « How many tens of thousands of people more would look up into the sky and recognize that the supposedly Utopian « proposal » has long moved on via « spraying trials » to a systematic, long-term spreading of cloud cover over the whole of Europe? »
Back in Basel, Gabriel Stetter quoted unsourced opinion polls showing that in this « stronghold » of chemtrails believers, one in ten people « have already heard of them despite the media blackout. Several thousand people in the prosperous town at the bend in the Rhine know that the chemtrails phenomenon suggests that something is seriously wrong. »
Among these Swiss chemtrails activists, he explained, « are well-to-do people, who because of their environmental awareness have been for a long time, in some cases for decades, members of Greenpeace. »
Not any more.
« Veteran anti-nuclear activists, campaigners for animal welfare or against electrosmog-in their alarm they had all turned to Greenpeace because of the chemtrails, which are visible everywhere in the skies above Basel. But a painful experience awaited all of them. They were palmed off with the same unsatisfactory answers that we have by now grown tired of hearing. The consequence drawn by these elderly, well-to-do activists from Greenpeace’s lack of interest was the immediate cancellation of membership of many years, the withdrawal of legacies, and the withholding of payments to Greenpeace until further notice. »
As Brian Holmes notes on his website, www.holmestead.ca, the October 2004 issue #131 of the Raum + Zeit contained many pages of letters from readers responding positively to Stetter’s first article in issue #127. « Many of these letters are illustrated with color photographs supplied by the readers themselves. »
Former six-year a board member of Greenpeace Germany, Monika Griefahn chaired the Committee for Culture and Media of the Federal German Parliament when she replied to a letter from two chemtrails dissenters in July 2004, stating, « I am in basic agreement with your concerns. Instead of making a concerted and determined effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions throughout the world, experiments of various kinds are being carried out in the earth’s atmosphere in order to cure the symptoms. »
GERMAN PARLIMENTARTIAN « ADMITS » CHEMTRAIL
Former six-year a board member of Greenpeace Germany, Monika Griefahn chaired the Committee for Culture and Media of the Federal German Parliament when she replied to a letter from two chemtrails dissenters in July 2004, stating, « I am in basic agreement with your concerns. Instead of making a concerted and determined effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions throughout the world, experiments of various kinds are being carried out in the earth’s atmosphere in order to cure the symptoms. »
After assuring her correspondents, « I share your concern over the use of aluminium or barium compounds which have a considerable toxic potential, » the parliamentarian went on to say, « however, so far as I am aware the extent of their use is so far minimal. »
« At last! » Stetter announced in the German science magazine. « There we have it. In the skies of Germany, so Social Democratic member of Parliament Monika Griefahn tells us, aluminium and barium compounds are being spread just as tens of thousands of concerned citizens have observed, documented and bitterly deplored. »
Thanking the Honorable Griefahn her for her courage, Stetter suggested, « Maybe one day statues of politicians like Monika Griefahn or the equally plucky US Congressman Dennis Kucinich will adorn in marble splendor the squares of newly verdant German or American cities. »
That would be nice.
But the public outcry in Europe will have to spread to North America if we are to stop this massive, illegal and continuing air and atmospheric pollution.

chemtrails basics
-- CHEMTRAILS --
Covert Climate Control?
Under the banner of some top-secret scientific agenda, the US military continues to weave chemical-laden contrails in the skies, causing health problems for unprotected people on the ground.

For nearly three years, chemtrail observers have hoped an official would step forward to explain the origin and purpose of broad white plumes criss-crossing the skies above a dozen allied nations. Their wait is over...
It was nearly noon when S.T. Brendt awoke and entered the kitchen of her country home in Parsonsfield, Maine. As she poured her first cup of coffee, the late night reporter for WMWV Radio could not have guessed that her life was minutes away from drastic change. Her partner Lou Aubuchont was already up, puzzling over what he had seen in the sky a half-hour before. The fat puffy plumes arching up over the horizon were unlike any contrail he had ever seen, even during his hitch in the Navy.
Like breath exhaled on a winter's day, the contrails he was used to seeing would flare briefly in the stratosphere as hot moist engine exhaust flash-freezes into a stream of ice-crystals. These pencil-thin condensation trails are pretty to watch but short-lived, subliming into invisibility as exhaust gases cool quickly to the surrounding air temperature.
But in late 1997, Aubuchont started observing thicker 'trails extending from horizon to horizon. Hanging in the sky long after their creators had flown from view, these expanding white ribbons would invariably be interwoven by more thick lines left by unmarked jets, Air Force white or silver in colour.
On this March 12th morning in 2001, Lou did not mention his sighting as S.T. indulged in caffeine. Sipping gratefully, she glanced out the window. It looked like another gorgeous, cloudless day. But not quite. Brendt baulked at several chalk marks scrawled across the crystalline blue sky. "Contrails or chemtrails?" she jokingly remarked. Lou got up and looked. What kind of clouds run exactly side by side in a straight line? he wondered. It's just too perfect to happen naturally. When he said he wasn't sure, S.T. stopped smiling and went outside.
Looking up towards the southeast over West Pond, she spotted the first jet. A second jet was laying billowing white banners to the north. Both aircraft appeared to be at over 30,000 feet. Turning her gaze due west, Brendt saw two more lines extending over the horizon. She called Lou. Within 45 minutes the couple counted 30 jets. This isn't right, S.T. thought. We just don't have that kind of air traffic here. While Lou kept counting, she went inside and started calling airports. One official she reached was guarded but friendly. He had relatives in West Pond.
The Air Traffic Control manager told Brendt her sighting was "unusual". His radars showed nine commercial jets during the same 45-minute span. From her location, he said, she should have been able to see one plane.
And the other twenty-nine? The FAA official confided off the record that he had been ordered "by higher civil authority" to re-route inbound European airliners away from a "military exercise" in the area. "Of course, they wouldn't give me any of the particulars and I don't ask," he explained. "I just do my job."
Excited and puzzled by this information, S.T. and Lou got into their car and headed down Route 160. Looking in any direction they could see five or six jets flying at over 30,000 feet. Never in the dozen years they'd lived in rural Maine had they seen so much aerial activity.
A former US Navy Intelligence courier, Aubuchont was used to large-scale military exercises. But he told S.T. he had never seen anything this big. "It looked like an invasion," he later recounted.
Another driver almost went off the road as he leaned over his dashboard trying to look up. As they passed, he acknowledged them with a nod.
As far as they could see stretched line after line. Two giant grids were especially blatant. Instead of dissipating like normal contrails, these sky trails grew wider and wider and began to merge. Looking towards the Sun, Aubuchont saw what appeared like "an oil and water mixture" reflecting a prismatic band of colours. He couldn't call it a rainbow. Rainbows aren't sinister.
As Lou and S.T. completed their errands, the jets kept them company, leaving lines and even circles that resembled smoke rings. Even living near Kennedy, LaGuardia and Newark jetports, Aubuchont had never seen so many big jets performing identical manoeuvres in the same sky. When they returned to Parsonsfield around four, the lines were starting to merge into a dingy haze.
Richard Dean called back. After receiving S.T.'s message, the assistant WMWV news director had gone outside with other news staff and counted 370 lines in skies usually devoid of aerial activity.
Brendt put in another call to the FAA official. He had never heard of chemtrails. In their first face-to-face interview, the chain-smoking controller responsible for air traffic over the northeastern seaboard repeated his earlier statements on tape. Similar military activities were ongoing in other regions, he added. On his 'scopes he could track the tankers flying north into Canadian airspace.
Speaking before witnesses at WMWV on condition of strict anonymity, our "Deep Sky" source answered a series of yes/no questions I helped Brendt prepare when she contacted me.
After nearly three years on this case, I wanted to corroborate extremely high levels of aluminum [aluminium] powder found in samples of rainwater falling through thick sky plumes over Espanola, Ontario, in the spring of 1998.
The Espanola lab tests were conducted after residents began complaining to the provincial environment ministry. Severe headaches, chronic joint pain, dizziness, sudden extreme fatigue, acute asthma attacks and feverless "flu-like" symptoms over a 50-square-mile area coincided with what they termed "months of 'spraying'" by photo-identified US Air Force tanker planes.
The USAF denied the intrusions. But former Ontario Provincial Police Officer and Supreme Court expert witness Ted Simola reported lingering Xs and numerous white trails, some of which "just ended" as if they had been shut off but remained in the sky.
Another Espanola resident told me that mental confusion and short-term memory loss were so prevalent that forgetting where their cars were parked had become "a standing joke" in the tiny town.
On November 18, 1998, the people of Espanola petitioned Parliament. Addressing the Canadian government on their behalf, defence critic Gordon Earle explained:
"Over 500 residents of the Espanola area have signed a petition raising concern over possible government involvement in what appears to be aircraft emitting visible aerosols. They have found high traces of aluminum and quartz in particulate and rainwater samples.
"These concerns combined with associated respiratory ailments have led these Canadians to take action and seek clear answers from this government. The petitioners call upon Parliament to repeal any law that would permit the dispersal of military chaff or of any cloud-seeding substance whatsoever by domestic or foreign military aircraft without the informed consent of the citizens of Canada thus affected."
The Ministry of Defence eventually replied: "It's not us."
Which was true. While the US Air Force counts 650 four-engine KC-135 Stratotankers and 50 KC-10 Extenders in its active inventory, Canadian Forces do not fly armadas of tankers. But they do operate the biggest radar installation in Canada at CFB Comox on Vancouver Island, easily capable of tracking the American formations coming up from the south.
"Was the classified operation a radar experiment?" we asked Deep Sky.
"That wasn't what I was told."
Were ATC radars "enhanced or degraded", we wanted to know. The barium spread in exercises conducted out of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base acts as an electrolyte, enhancing conductivity of radar and radio waves. "Wright Pat" has also long been deeply engaged in HAARP's electromagnetic warfare program.
A SKY SHIELD TO COMBAT GLOBAL WARMING?
The puzzle pieces fell into place with Deep Sky's revelation that ATC radars were being "degraded" by tanker-released particles showing up as a "haze" on their screens. This radar characteristic matched the high concentrations of aluminum powder found along with a preponderance of quartz particles in Espanola's chemtrail-contaminated rainwater.
The tankers' aluminum powder emissions also matched the Welsbach patent. Issued in 1994 to the Hughes aerospace giant "for Reduction of Global Warming", the sky shield blueprint calls for dispensing microscopic particles of aluminum oxide and other reflective materials into the upper atmosphere to reflect one or two per cent of incoming sunlight. Computer simulations by Ken Caldeira at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory calculated that this would be enough to stop warming over 85 per cent of the planet, despite an anticipated doubling of carbon in the atmosphere within the next 50 years.
Lawrence Livermore priced the aerial spray program at US$1 billion dollars a year--a cheap fix to maintain massive petroleum profits in the face of Kyoto's internationally agreed carbon cutbacks.
Livermore's founder, Edward Teller, lobbied hard for another chance to play with planetary processes. At the 1998 International Seminar on Planetary Emergencies, the Father of the H-bomb presented his Next Big Idea. Having earlier pressed for detonating nuclear bombs to carve new harbours out of American coastlines, Teller now called for reflective chemicals to be spread like mirror-shades over the Earth. Or at least over allies who could agree in secret for this unprecedented geoengineering experiment to be carried out over their unsuspecting constituents.
In a draft report leaked to me soon after it appeared for peer review in May 2000, an expert panel chosen among 3,000 atmospheric scientists looked at Caldeira's computer simulations and agreed that Teller's scheme might work. But the IPCC warned against unpredictable upsets of the atmosphere, as well as against angry populaces reacting to "the associated whitening of the visual appearance of the sky".
Caldeira was so concerned he went public, warning that deflecting sunlight would further cool the stratosphere, concentrating icy clouds of ozone-gobbling CFCs that could destroy Earth's solar radiation shield.
Was the sky shield experiment already underway? Deep Sky hinted that it was.
Were the tankers involved in weather modification? Our FAA source hesitated before responding. "That approximates what I was told."
For the third interview we rephrased our key question. Were the tankers repeatedly observed on ATC radars involved in climate modification? I caught my breath as Deep Sky confirmed that this is what he was told was the object of the missions.
Here at last was our "smoking nuke" admission. After years of "airliner" double-speak, we could now corroborate Deep Sky's report of military aircraft dispensing reflective materials with an earlier report by a Canadian aviation official.
On December 8, 2000, Terry Stewart, the Manager for Planning and Environment at the Victoria International Airport, had broken this story wide open when he responded to a caller's complaint the previous day of Xs, circles and grids being woven over the British Columbia capitol. Leaving a message on an answering machine tape, later heard by more than 15 million radio listeners, the public servant explained: "It's a military exercise, US and Canadian Air Force exercise that's going on. They wouldn't give me any specifics on it."
Stewart added that he found the incident--one of hundreds reported over Canada's west coast since the fall of 1998--"very odd".
Tasked with defending Canadian airspace in the region, CFB Comox chose instead to defend a classified collaboration. "No military operation is taking place," the base information officer tersely told me when I called for details. But Stewart later told the Vancouver Courier that his information had come directly from CFB Comox.
CONTRAILS vs CHEMTRAILS
Across the strait from the island air base, a concerned mother of three children was noticing that people in Gibsons were coming down with ailments that coincided with constant chemtrail activity. Suzanne Smart's husband contracted asthma; their children were always sniffling and coughing. Smart ended up in the small coastal town's Emergency unit with a sore throat, "super-stiff" neck, pounding headache and ears "ringing like crazy". Even her teeth hurt.
It was all very nerve-wracking. Smart contacted a Transport Canada investigator who had noticed the jet trails too and was convinced it was normal contrail activity. Why he took special notice of normal contrails was not explained. But the TC official told Smart he hoped the Canadian equivalent of the FAA would be notified of any military exercises taking place.
On June 17, 2001, after photographing massive plumes over Gibsons, Smart checked with aviation authorities and found that no airline flight plans had been filed for that airspace at that time. Official weather data showed that when her photos of multiple white plumes were taken, the 30 per cent humidity at 30,000 and 35,000 feet was less than half that needed for contrails to form.
As NOAA meteorologist Thomas Schlatter explains, for even short-lived condensation trails to form, "we're talking temperatures lower than about minus 76 degrees Fahrenheit, and humidity at jet altitudes of 70 per cent or more".
Smart sent her findings to Transport Canada with a request for an explanation of how contrails could form when they couldn't. "It is my understanding," she wrote, "that the only way to form jet trails at yesterday's low humidity is to introduce very fine particulates into the atmosphere."
Smart's homework hit like hardball. According to the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, the only way to form artificial clouds in warm dry air is to introduce enough particulates into the atmosphere to attract and accrete all available moisture into visible vapour. If repeated often enough, the resulting rainless haze can lead to drought.
Following standard procedure to ignore all evidence contradicting the official line, Transport Canada's Randy Phillips responded by advising Smart to check out the "urban legends" website ridiculing chemtrails.
Col. Walter Washbaugh, Chief of the Congressional Inquiry Division for the Secretary of the Air Force in Washington, DC, also calls chemtrails "a hoax". In an April 20, 2001, letter to a US senator, Washbaugh blamed the increased number of contrails on "significant civil aviation growth in the past decade".
He was right. A National Science Foundation study has found that, in certain heavy traffic corridors, artificial cloud cover has increased by as much as 20 per cent since the jet age took off. Dr Patrick Minnis, a CERES atmospheric researcher and ardent chemtrails critic at NASA's Langley Research Center, reports that cirrus cloud cover over the United States is up five per cent overall because particulates in engine exhaust are acting as cloud-forming nuclei. As the number of flights currently exceeds 15 million annually worldwide, the NSF, NASA and EPA predict artificial clouds will intensify as air travel continues climbing sharply.
What about chemtrails? Colonel Washbaugh ascribed widely reported grid patterns to overlapping aircraft flying north-south, east-west airways. The only thing wrong with this explanation, an air traffic controller told me in Texas, is that US airways do not run north-south.
The biggest laugh came when the colonel told the senator: "The Air Force is not conducting any weather modification and has no plans to do so in the future."
In fact, attempts to steer hurricanes by spraying heat-robbing chemicals in their paths began in the 1950s. The recipe for creating "cirrus shields" was outlined in an unusually arrogant US Air Force study. Subtitled "Owning the Weather by 2025", the 1996 report explained how "weather force specialists" were dispersing chemicals behind high-flying tanker aircraft in a process the air force calls "aerial obscuration".
Official denials reached new altitudes of absurdity when another colonel claimed: "The US Air Force does not conduct spraying operations over populated areas." USAF spokeswoman Margaret Gidding told a Spokane newspaper: "The Air Force doesn't do anything that emits anything other than a normal contrail, which is vapor."
So were their replies. Apparently Anderson and Gidding had forgotten how US Air Force spray planes crippled a country and a culture by dispensing over Vietnam thousands of tons of "Agent Orange" defoliants containing dioxin toxins as hazardous as plutonium.
SEEING IS BELIEVING?
In the end, it has proved impossible to continue skywriting giant billboards advertising government duplicity, while insisting they are not there. By the summer of 2001, the controversy entered a new phase. Pictures of contrails were being distributed to newspapers by the Associated Press, and "chemtrails" could be overheard in coffee shop conversations across an entire continent.
When it comes to chemtrails, seeing is disbelieving official disinformation. As public awareness grows, people like war veteran David Oglesby are looking up. The 11 fat plumes fanning out over his Coarsegold, California, home did it for Oglesby last June.
"The trails formed a grid pattern," he told WorldNetDaily News. "Some stretched from horizon to horizon. Some began abruptly, and others ended abruptly. They hung in the air for an extended period of time and gradually widened into wispy clouds resembling spider webs."
A retired US Air Force radar tech named Shimera called a colonel responsible for all military operations in central California. "What would you say if I said there are three aircraft up there right now?" Shimera asked. "Are they there?"
"No," the colonel replied. "They are not there."
The Houston study is not so easily dismissed. Mark Steadham was looking for contrails when he started observing the skies over this busy Texas hub last winter. Using FAA tracking software called Flight Explorer to identify each aircraft, Steadham clocked contrails trailing from Boeing, McDonnell-Douglas and Airbus airliners. All but two of these condensation trails sublimed into invisibility within five to 20 seconds; the only exceptions persisted for two and 25 minutes.
Flight Explorer does not show altitudes for military jets, but, according to the FAA, tankers and transports usually transit continental airspace at around 30,000 feet to ensure safe separation from airliners flying between 35,000 and 39,000 feet. Military "heavies" flying below 30,000 feet should not leave contrails at all. Major-General Gregory Barlow confirms that Air Force tankers do not perform refuelling missions at contrail-forming altitudes.
But Steadham found just the opposite in his study. While observing air traffic for 63 days, the Houston skywatcher found that thick white plumes laid by similar-sized military aircraft--at the same time, in the same airspace as 20-second airliner contrails--lingered for four to eight hours.
GLOBAL CHEMTRAIL REPORTS
Sightings of oddly lingering plumes sometimes resembling rocket trails are not confined to North American skies.
While on leave in Italy in the summer of 1999, the US Navy's Kitty Chastain sat on her hotel balcony and watched aerial grids being laid all day just offshore over the Bay of Naples. "People were coughing all over Naples," she wrote. On the bus ride in from the base, Chastain explained chemtrails to many sailors with hacking coughs.
On October 12 that same year, a Paris correspondent reported "...heavy activity from all directions, X upon X. The pilots here seem to like to play chicken; they fly right at each other and then one will swerve, their trails forming pitchforks and Xs." No contrails were being left by "normal planes" in the same skies. But the next day, planes flying over Paris "from all directions" obscured the sky with more Xs that continued into the evening.
In Spain on April 27, 2000, American tourist John Hendricks dashed off a quick email from El Café de Internet: "Were we surprised to see that the chemtrails are as bad here as they are anywhere, both in Mallorca and in Barcelona." He and his wife "took plenty of pictures" before noticing a postcard they'd bought captured a perfect chemtrail.
"Add Sweden to the list," a Swedish resident wrote after spotting eight to 10 parallel 'trails and contracting flu for the first time in years. Weather conditions at the time were not conducive to contrail formation. "I know the commercial routes, and we have a bunch of them, but not where these trails were."
Chemtrail activity has been reported in at least 14 allied nations including Australia, Belgium, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Holland, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Scotland, Sweden and the United States. Croatian chemtrails began the day after that country joined NATO.
ATMOSPHERIC ORGANISMS
Many chemtrail observers note that chemtrails are often laid down at the leading edge of approaching frontal systems. While rare "sundogs" form ice-crystal circles around the Sun in advance of strong winds, much more common "chemdogs" create prismatic solar halos during stable weather.
More and more observers, like this Vancouver resident, wonder why "on the days of heavy spraying you will notice a rainbow around the Sun". Many more people who have been healthy all their lives wonder why they keep getting desperately sick whenever the chemplanes appear.
Unlike the refined aluminum in cooking utensils that is tenuously linked to Alzheimer's disease, aluminum oxide is as inert as sand and is not considered toxic.
But in a story headlined "Tiny particles can kill", the August 5, 2000, edition of New Scientist reported that "city-dwellers in Europe and the US are dying young because of microscopic particles in the air".
Looking at byproducts of hydrocarbon burning, a Harvard School of Public Health team determined particulates with a diameter less than 10 microns as being a serious threat to public health. (A human hair is about 100 microns across.) In 1987, US environmental regulations limited airborne concentrations of particles less than 10 microns in diameter.
But air pollution has grown worse. On April 21, 2001, the New York Times warned: "These microscopic motes are able to infiltrate the tiniest compartments in the lungs and pass readily into the bloodstream, and have been most strongly tied to illness and early death, particularly in people who are already susceptible to respiratory problems."
David Hawkins, a lawyer for the Natural Resources Defense Council, speaks for "about a quarter-million Americans who have died prematurely as result of fine-particle exposure".
That number may be boosted sharply by chemtrail spraying. On December 14, 2000, the New England Journal of Medicine reported that inhaling particulate matter of a size 10 microns or smaller leads to "a 5% increased death rate within 24 hours".
Teller's sunscreen calls for spraying 10 million tons of talcum-fine reflective particulates of 10 to 100 micron sizes.
Allergic reactions to airborne fallout do not explain the entire syndrome of chemtrail-related illness. Falling blood temperatures accompanying symptoms of intense yet feverless "flu" is a classic sign of chronic fungal infection. Blamed for a host of auto-immune dysfunction, from chronic fatigue to fibromyalgia and multiple sclerosis, the fungus within us also signals its presence in sharp joint pain, sudden extreme fatigue, sudden dizziness, mental confusion and short-term memory loss.
After nearly three years of intense investigation, I have found no proof that chemtrails constitute a deliberate biological attack. Research for my books on the Gulf biowar and earlier germ warfare experiments (Bringing The War Home; Scorched Earth) show that bio-attacks are conducted at low level and never in daylight, in order to avoid ultraviolet sterilisation of toxins.
The biohazards in chemtrails may be bad LUC. The "Law of Unintended Consequences" states that every human intervention creates unpredictable consequences. Chemtrails can cause drought by soaking up all available moisture, and drooping chemical curtains fall through vast colonies of UV-mutated bacteria, viruses and fungi living in the upper atmosphere. Could these malevolent micro-organisms be piggy-backing on the plumes?
A series of balloon flights made in the US during the 1960s collected startling stratospheric samples swarming with bacteria and fungi as well as viruses bigger than any known at the time.
If viruses fall from the sky, most would land in the sea. Dipping their beakers into coastal seawater, scientists found as many as 10 million large virus-like particles per quart. As one researcher said: "No one knows where they come from or what they do. Their size and shape match the virus-like particles found in the upper atmosphere."
Other life-forms, even tinier than bacteria, are also thriving in our atmosphere. The discoverer of nanobacteria, Dr Robert Folk, describes the most populous organisms on Earth as "dwarf forms of bacteria, about one-tenth the diameter and 1/1000th the volume of ordinary bacteria".
The Professor Emeritus at the University of Texas figures that these ultra-tiny bugs are "possibly an order of magnitude more abundant" than normal bacteria that swarm everywhere.
Since chemtrails are commonly spread over populated areas where temperature differentials are greatest and solar shading most needed, it is probable that particulate-laden plumes are precipitating airborne viruses, bacteria and fungi down into human lungs and respiratory systems unable to recognise or resist the alien invaders.
This possibility was further strengthened when Dr Folk chose a lightweight metal as a matrix to grow bugs too small to be seen by optical microscopes. Folk viewed under electronic magnification entire ecologies of swarming nanobac. The bacteria were feasting on (he called it "metabolising") aluminum.
PUBLIC CONCERN SPREADS
Are we worried yet? An August 2001 WorldNetDaily poll asked Americans: "Do you think 'chemtrails' are anything to worry about?" Forty-three per cent answered "Yes"; another 30 per cent wanted more information on chemtrails--a total 73 per cent of US respondents concerned about chemtrails.
As lawyers across the US discuss filing the "Mother of All Lawsuits" against Boeing, Bush and the US Air Force, their case now appears tight enough to force further disclosures. The last glaring evidential gap--photos of ground-based chemtrail operations--may soon be forthcoming.
What to do?
A British campaigner involved in another bid to reclaim individual sovereignty and local autonomy held out the best hope for change when she told a CBC radio interviewer: "The only way to get government to do anything is if enough people stand up and shout, 'This is ridiculous!'"
Stay tuned. With chemtrails confirmed as a military operation aimed at climate modification, the biggest trial is about to begin--in the court of public opinion.
