  CHEMTRAILS CONFIRMED

  "Chemtrails" is the term widely used to describe the brilliant white
  plumes laid down by U.S. Air Force tanker planes photo-identified
  over North America and a dozen other allied nations. Unlike normal
  condensation trails - which form when hot engine exhaust momentarily
  condenses in the frigid stratosphere like exhaled breath on a cold
  day - chemical trails linger for hours, turning clear skies into
  milky haze in a process the U.S. Air Force calls "aerial obscuration"
 
  Chemtrail Ban Sought In Congress
 
  "Chemtrails" also appear in House Resolution 2977. Introduced last
  October by Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich, this bill called for the
  peaceful uses of space, and a ban on "exotic weapons". Section 7 of
  the "Space Preservation Act of 2001" sought specifically to prohibit
  "chemtrails".
 
  Kucinich recently told the Columbus Alive newspaper (Jan. 24, 2002)
  that despite official denials, as head of the Armed Services
  oversight committee he is well acquainted with chemtrail projects.
  "The truth is there's an entire program in the Department of Defense,
  'Vision for 2020,' that's developing these weapons," Kucinich told
  reporter Bob Fitrakis. The U.S. Space Command's 2020 vision calls for
  "dominance" of space, land, sea and air.
 
  The unusual white plumes reported by Air Canada pilots, police
  officers and former military personnel over Canada and the U.S.
  during the past three years are often contrasted by brief, pencil-
  thin contrails left by commercial jets flying above them.
 
  Contrails form when water vapor clumps around dirt particles acting
  as nuclei. According to NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
  Administration, contrails can only form at temperatures below minus
  76 degrees, and humidity levels of 70 percent or more. Even in ideal
  conditions, contrails rarely last more than 20 minutes.
 
  But atmospheric studies by NASA and NOAA - including TARFOX, ACE-
  Asia, ACE-I and II, INDOEX and Project SUCCESS - confirm that
  artificial clouds and contrails can be manufactured under conditions
  of low humidity by dispensing particles from aircraft. The smaller
  the size of the nuclei introduced into the atmosphere, the greater
  the rate of artificial cloud formation.
 
  Canadians Petition Parliament
 
  Canadians were the first to complain about chemtrails to their
  federal government. On Nov. 18, 1999, NDP Defense critic Gordon Earl
  petitioned Parliament on behalf of 550 residents of Espanola, Ontario
  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."
 
  According to CBC Newsworld (Aug 29, 1999), "Many in the community
  have reported respiratory problems and strange aches and pains. Town
  council heard that some believe military jets are dropping material
  over the town as part of a weather experiment" - after laboratory
  tests confirmed the presence of aluminum in rainwater falling through
  chemtrails over Espanola five-times higher than provincial health
  safety limits.
 
  The Ministry of Defense eventually replied, "It's not us."
 
  Studies Prove Chemtrails Cannot Be Contrails
 
  The "airliner" argument collapsed along with the Twin Towers, when
  heavy chemtrails were reported over Vancouver Island and widely
  separated U.S. cities despite the grounding of all commercial flights
  last Sept. 11, 12 and 13.
 
  Photographs of heavy aerial gridding over Santa Fe, New Mexico and
  B.C.'s Sunshine Coast also contradict official weather data showing
  high altitude humidity at the same times and locations to be less
  than one third the moisture needed for contrails to form.
 
  In Houston, Texas, Mark Steadham conducted a 62 day survey of jet
  traffic over that busy hub. Using a computer program called Flight
  Explorer, Steadham identified commercial and military aircraft
  sharing the same sky. The contrails from commercial jets dissipated
  within 22 seconds. The plumes left behind at the same time by big
  military jets persisted for four to eight hours.
 
  Canadian and U.S. Aviation Officials Confirm Chemtrails
 
  The first break in an investigation begun by the Environment News
  Service in Jan. 1999, came 11 months later when Victoria airport
  authority Terry Stewart returned a call to a Victoria resident
  concerned about the X's and grid patterns being laid over the B.C.
  capitol. "It's a military exercise, a U.S. and Canada air force
  exercise that's going on," Stewart reported on Dec. 8, 2000. "They
  wouldn't give me any specifics on it."
 
  The "specifics" came in March the following year, when Maine radio
  reporter S. T. Brendt called a senior Air Traffic Control manager
  after she, her news director and staff counted 370 plumes filling
  skies normally devoid of commercial aircraft. During his hitch in
  U.S. Navy Intelligence, Brendt's husband had never seen an aerial
  armada this big. "It looked like an invasion," Lou Aubuchont said.
 
  The FAA manager told Brendt he had been ordered to redirect incoming
  commercial flights around "military exercises" on several occasions
  that month. In follow-up interviews at the WMWV studios, the
  government official confirmed widespread chemtrail activity. As they
  flew north into Canada, he said, the planes were spraying a substance
  that showed up as a "haze" on Air Traffic Control radar screens.
 
  This characteristic signature of radar beams reflecting off fine
  aluminum particles confirmed the Espanola lab tests. It also matched
  a patent issued to Hughes Aircraft Corp. in 1994. This practical
  blueprint described spraying reflective aluminum particles into
  Earth's greenhouse atmosphere, "For the Reduction of Global Warming".
 
  Computer simulations at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory showed
  that spraying 10 million tons of aluminum oxide into the upper
  atmosphere would reflect between one and two percent of incoming
  sunlight. The predictions promised no net warming over 85 percent of
  the earth surface, despite a predicted doubling of CO2 within the
  next 50 years.
 
  The biggest lobby pushing for a reduction in global warming are
  insurance companies bigger than Big Oil and the international trade
  in arms. Multinationals such as the Swiss Reinsurance Company and
  Lloyd's of London report unsustainable losses incurred by Extreme
  Weather Events caused by a rapidly warming planet. It is feared that
  if they go bankrupt, so will the money markets and banks that back them.
 
  Andrew Dlugolecki - director of one of the world's six biggest
  insurance groups, CGNU - warned the Hague two years ago that unless
  action is taken to curb global warming, the resulting damage will
  exceed the dollar value of all the world's resources by 2065.
  "Already we're beginning to run out of money in the insurance
  industry," Dlugolecki declared.
 
  It was Edward Teller, father of the H-bomb, who called for spraying a
  chemical "sunscreen" at a 1998 International Seminar on Planetary
  Emergencies. Besides disturbing regional weather patterns, Teller's
  chief climate modeler, Ken Caldeira worries about negative health
  effects. The atmospheric scientist who crunched the numbers on
  Teller's "sky shield" further warns such a project could, "destroy
  the ozone layer". Caldeira believes the U.S. government will publicly
  admit to chemtrails this spring.
 
  Health Hazard
 
  Scientists say aluminum oxide as inert as sand poses no toxic threat.
  But after examining more than 3,000 health studies published since
  1997, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency confirmed a strong
  link between tiny particulates and thousands of premature deaths each
  year.
 
  According to a New York Times feature, "Tiny Bits of Soot Tied to
  Illnesses" (April 21, 2001), numerous health studies show that
  "microscopic motes - composed of metals, carbon and other ingredients
  - 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."
 
  In a report headlined, "Tiny particles can kill" New Scientist (Aug.
  5, 2000) reported a Harvard "Six Cities" study, which "identified
  particles with a diameter of less than 10 microns as threat to public
  health."
 
  Barium Chemtrails
 
  A scientist working at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base told Columbus
  Alive (Dec. 6, 2001) that two different chemtrails projects are
  currently being conducted by the U.S. military. One involves creating
  clouds to cool global warming.
 
  Chemtrails are also being deployed by the Pentagon to suspend a
  mixture of barium stearate and fine iron particles as a temporary
  atmospheric antenna for conducting radio and radar waves over the
  horizon. The soapy stearate used to carry the airborne iron particles
  appears in the sky as prismatic bands of color.
 
  Barium-iron chemtrails were reportedly used to create long range
  radio-and-radar "ducting" during sustained air strikes on Iraq,
  Kosovo, and Afghanistan. The scientist interviewed by Fitzrakis also
  stated that barium chemtrails are being used in conjunction with an
  "atmospheric heater" called HAARP in Gakon, Alaska.
 
  HAARP's inventor Bernard Eastland told this reporter that the
  principal purpose of this multi-million watt weapon is to "steer the
  jet stream" and change the weather. His patent calls for spraying
  barium in the atmosphere to enhance the effects of HAARP. "Wright-Pat
  has long been deeply engaged in HAARP's electromagnetic warfare
  program," Eastlund told Columbus Alive.
 
  If some of the chemtrails being sprayed overhead contain compounds
  for conducting electromagnetic energy, residents of all affected
  communities could be in even graver danger from the intense
  electromagnetic radiation emitted by cellphone and microwave
  transmitter towers, radar installations at military bases, high-
  voltage power lines, high-power military relay towers and myriad
  other well-documented sources of "electronic smog" - 15 million times
  more intense than natural background levels.
  Barium chemtrails could accidentally amplify these already hazardous
  electromagnetic emanations.
  Canadian military officers at Canadian Forces Base Comox spokesmen
  have heatedly denied the existence of this joint military operation.
  But Terry Stewart told the Vancouver Courier (Aug. 15, 2001) that his
  information confirming the Canada-U.S. military exercise came
  directly from CFB Comox.
