Dennis Kucinich Names Chemtrails As 'Exotic Weapon'


Rep. Kucinich's HR 2977 Names Chemtrails As An 'Exotic Weapon'

After years of denial from government, military, and environmental agencies, the reality of the controversial issue regarding the covert programs known as Chemtrails has been acknowledged.
 
On October 2, 2001 Congressman Dennis Kucinich, Ohio introduced H. R. 2977 during the 1st Session of the 107th Congress of the United States. The "Space Preservation Act of 2001" seeks to "preserve the cooperative, peaceful uses of space for the benfit of all humankind by permanently prohibiting the basing of weapons in space by the United States, and to require the President to take action and implement a world treaty banning space-based weapons."
 
In the bill Chemtrails are listed as an "exotic weapons system". Ironically in Section 7 - Definitions. The complete text of the bill may be found at Clifford Carnicom's website, "Chemtrail Crimes and Coverup Documented".
 
The bill also addresses such things as particle beams, electromagnetic radiation, plasma, or extremely low frequency (ELF) or ultra low frequency (ULF) energy radiation, and mind-control as weapons. All of these areas have been researched and pondered by those investigating chemtrails and working to gain accountability for those programs.
 
They can't have it both ways. Water vapor is not a weapon.
 
This is a call to all those of conscience. This is a time when action is needed. It is time. The lies have gone on long enough. We can tell the Air Force and the Navy and the other agencies involved in this criminal activity, "No, You may NOT own the Weather ...Period!" We may not have another chance.
 
On behalf of the members of Chemtrail Tracking USA, Clifford Carnicom's Board, Chemtrail Central and the many other groups and individuals working diligently to get accountability, we urge your listeners to respond. Contact government and media, demand answers. If not now, when?
 
We know what we see. We did not consent. We want it stopped.

Rep Kucinich Rewrites HR 2977 - 'Chemtrails' Disappear

By Lorie Kramer
seektress@ev1.net
1-27-2

The "Space Preservation Act of 2001" originally introduced in the House by Rep. Dennis Kucinich as HR 2977 has been re-written.
 
The new, revised bill, HR 3616, "Space Preservation Act of 2002" was introduced January 23, 2002.
 
Re-writing bills is a common enough practice as a bill goes through the legislative process. However, the differences between HR 2977 and HR 3616 are more than just a few tweaks here or there.
 
By its conspicuous appearance in 2977, the term 'chemtrails' received a form of credibiity within the official government process never seen before...producing the hope that one courageous Representative had finally had the fortitude to take the issue of chemtrails to a level of Congressional scrutiny long overdue.
 
Even though chemtrails are sprayed/deployed in the 2-6 mile high range, and not the 60 mile altitude stated in 2977, the simple fact of their inclusion in Kucinich's 2977 list of weapons systems was deemed a major breakthrough by tens of thousands of citizens and researchers across the country who have been monitoring and investigating the spraying going on in the skies of America for the past three years.
 
In Rep. Kucinich's revised new (some woud say 'emasculated') Bill, HR 3616, there is no longer any mentio whatever of:
 
* chemtrails,
* particle beams
* electromagnetic radiation
* plasmas
* extremely low frequency (ELF) or ultra low frequency (ULF) energy radiation
* or mind-control technologies
 
as weapons systems covered in the measure.
 
In fact, 'Exotic Weapons' - as boldly-stated in HR 2977 - are not even mentioned in HR 3616. So, what happened here? Did someone have a 'friendly chat' with Rep. Kucinich? Did the Congressman inhale a bit too much aluminum during his morning job? Did he look up one day and find himself standing under a big 'X' and feel his knees get a little wobbly?
 
As stated in Kucinich's first version of his "Space Preservation Act of 2001" -
 
"The term 'exotic weapons systems' includes weapons designed to damage space or natural ecosystems (such as the ionosphere and upper atmosphere) or climate, weather, and tectonic systems with the purpose of inducing damage or destruction upon a target population or region on earth or in space."
 
Apparently Rep. Kucinich is no longer concerned about the effects of the testing and use of exotic weapons systems on natural ecosystems and living organisms on the planet.
 
Although chemtrails are no longer stated as a weapons system, or even mentioned in HR3616, the question of the components of the RFMP / VTRPE warfare system is raised.
 
HR 3616 states -
 
"To preserve the cooperative, peaceful uses of space for the benefit of all humankind by prohibiting the basing of weapons in space and the use of weapons to destroy or damage objects in space that are in orbit, and for other purposes."
 
The intent of this passage remains fuzzy. Example: Are Imaging satellites used with the RFMP / VTRPE system broadly defined as part of a weapons system ?
 
HR 3616 further states -
 
"The terms 'space-based weapon' and 'space-based system' mean a device capable of damaging or destroying an object or person by directing a source of energy against that object or person."
 
The word "directing" is clearly the key. Strictly speaking, the RFMP system does, by imaging, provide information to direct a source of energy against that particular object or person
 
HR3616 also says -
 
"4) civil, commercial, or defense activities (including communications, navigation, surveillance, reconnaissance, early warning, or remote sensing) that are not related to space-based weapons or systems."
 
They could say the RFMP is not a weapon - it does not "fire a bullet," but it is part of a weapons system. There are clearly serious issues of definition in Kucinich's new Bill. It is conceivable that the RFMP / VTRPE weapons system may fall in the area covered by HR3616.
 
It remains a mystery as to how the word 'chemtrails' appeared in HR 2977 to begin with. Investigation into that point is ongoing. Who actually is authoring the text of these bills? Why such an emphasis on "exotic weapons" in HR 2977 but then nothing mentioned about them in HR 3616?
 
My call to Rep. Kucinich's Washington office last week was brief. I was told there had been "quite a few" calls regarding HR 2977. I was then told my questions should be directed to the person on the congressman's staff who handled that bill. I was then transfered to that person and received...big surprise...their voice mail service. I left a message with my contact information. No reply has been received to date. I will place a follow-up call again this week. We suggest others do the same.
 
Even though the term 'chemtrails' has been removed from the revised bill, efforts to continue to educate and alert others about the chemtrail issue go on. Many thanks to those who have taken the time to contact their Congressional Representatives, keep it up.
 
We still know what we see. We still didn't consent. We still want it stopped.

KBR gives troops drinking water laced with corpse juice

KBR Sued for Giving Soldiers Ice with 'Traces of Body Fluids and Putrefied Remains'
Posted by Jason Rosenbaum, The Seminal at 4:04 PM on December 4, 2008.

The scandals for this war profiteer just keep coming. 

The scandals for KBR just keep coming.  The former Halliburton subsidiary responsible for the sexual assault of Jamie Leigh Jones and the accidental electrocution of a U.S. soldier is now subject of a class-action lawsuit for exposing employees to "unsafe water, food, and hazardous fumes" at the largest U.S. installation in Iraq.

According to the Army Times, Joshua Eller, a former technician with the 332nd Air Expeditionary Wing, said that while he was stationed at Balad Air Force Base in 2006, he experienced skin lesions that spread and became worse, along with debilitating blisters on his feet, vomiting, cramping, diarrhea, and severe abdominal pain.

As former KBR Water Purification Specialist Ben Carter described in this clip from Iraq for Sale and in his Congressional testimony, KBR failed to provide adequate water safety, resulting in toxic drinking and bathing water. 
 
This war profiteer also failed to manage a medical incinerator properly, instead disposing medical waste and human remains in an open air burn pit.  Eller claims that at one point, he saw a wild dog running around the base with a human arm in its mouth that KBR had dumped into the pit.  And the grizzly kicker, the suit accuses KBR of using mortuary trucks that "still had traces of body fluids and putrefied remains in them when they were loaded with ice" later served to U.S. troops.

ARE U.S. TROOPS COMING HOME FROM IRAQ?  Don't hold your breath to be exhaled on inauguration day, 2009.  Campaign promises to "end the war in Iraq" are now being re-calibrated as the next administration moves toward "reality" and Obama is reminding Americans that he only promised to remove "combat forces" in 16 months and indicated that a "residual force" might have to be left behind until such time as "ground commanders" indicate they are no longer needed, including the possibility of (by mutual agreement with Iraq) leaving these forces there beyond the 2011 "deadline" for withdrawal set by SOFA.  http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/04/us/politics/04military.html?_r=1&partner=rss&emc=rss&pagewanted=all
 
IF MUMBAI WAS "INDIA'S 9/11," WILL INDIA LEARN FROM U.S. MISTAKES ON RESPONSE TO THE ATROCITY?  Juan Cole hopes so, as he recalls how the U.S. demonized Muslims as a people and failed to recognize the "assymetical" character of modern terrorism with their foolishness about "state-sponsored" terrorism that led to the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.  The rise of "communal violence" against Muslims and Indians and the persistent demands by India on the government of Pakistan to restrain such terrorists are not good indications that India is, in fact, learning from U.S. mistakes in dealing with terrorism.  http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article21370.htm
 
"THE VICTIMS OF MUMBAI WILL BE MOURNED BY AMERICANS, AS THEY SHOULD BE.

WILL NAFTA DIE ON JULY 20, 2009?  Unlikely as that may seem, it is a firm campaign promise made by both President-elect Obama and Secretary of State-designee Clinton in the heat of their primary election battle earlier this year in Ohio.  In response to persistent questioning by the late Tim Russert, both candidates made firm commitments to exercise the "opt out" provision of NAFTA, allowing the U.S. to abrogate the treaty on 6 month notification to Mexico and Canada.  Though an Obama aide told a Canadian contact that the Senator was not serious about his anti-NAFTA statements that were just "campaign rhetoric," Al Giordano has the tape to prove that both Obama and Clinton made that promise and he is waiting til 7/20/09 to see whether the two officials make good on that promise after they are sworn in on 1/20/09.  http://narcosphere.narconews.com/thefield/welcome-secretary-clinton-obamas-promises-be-kept

      Pravda: USA is a pyramid that must collapse

      The US administration refuses to comment on the forecast made by Russian scientist Igor Panarin, who said that the financial crisis may split the United States into six entities. "I am perplexed and therefore I think I will have to decline comment," White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said.

      USA is a pyramid that has to collapse

      USA proudly displays its double standards
      Russia to build new base for monstrous nuclear submarines
      Queen Elizabeth has to work sometimes too, just a little
      More...

      Several days ago US and other Western mass media discussed the interview of Russian Professor Igor Panarin, who predicted a civil war in the United States by 2009 and said that the war would eventually result in the collapse of the nation.

      Igor Panarin, the dean of one of the departments of the Diplomatic Academy of the Russian Foreign Ministry, originally presented his apocalyptic report at an international conference in Australia in 1998. He repeated his forecast on November 24 of the current year to the Izvestia newspaper. His forecasts seemed totally unreal ten years ago, although they obtain a whole new meaning under the condition of the global economic crisis.

      "It was clear back then that the financial and economic power is the major destructive power for the USA. The dollar is not secured by anything. The nation's foreign debt was growing like an avalanche, although it didn't exist at all in the beginning of the 1980s. The debt exceeded the mark of two trillion dollars in 1998, when I made my report. Now it makes up over 11 million. This is a pyramid that will definitely collapse," the scientist said.

      The scientist believes that it currently goes about the replacement of the regulation system in a global financial scale. America will not be the world regulator anymore. Two countries may take its place: China with its enormous reserves and Russia as a country that could play the role of the regulator on the Eurasian space.

      As far as the fate of the USA is concerned, the aggravation of the financial crisis will destabilize the situation on both the employment market and between the states and the federal center. The political structure of the United States will become a lot more vulnerable.

      "There is no joint legislation on the territory of the country. The common Highway Code does not exist there either. The framework which holds the USA together is rather fragile. The armed forces in Iraq mainly consist of non-citizens of the USA. They serve there because they promise to grant them US citizenship," Igor Panarin said.

      As a result, the country will split into six parts. "The first part is the US Pacific Coast. Here is an example. The Chinese make about 53 percent of San Francisco's population. An ethnic Chinese used to be the governor of the State of Washington, whereas its capital, Seattle, is dubbed as the gateway for Chinese emigration to the USA. The Pacific Coast gradually falls under the influence of China. The second part is the south and the Mexicans. The Spanish language is widely spread there, it has almost become a state language of the territory. Texas openly fights for its independence. The Atlantic Coast represents a different ethnos and a different mindset, which may split into two. Central depressive regions make the final group. I have to remind here that five central states of the USA, where Indians live, declared their independence. It was considered a joke, a political show, but it's a fact. Canada's influence is strong in the north. We can claim Alaska after all, it was granted on a lease," the scientist said.

      Russians say HAARP Poses Global Threat

      HAARP Poses Global Threat
      15.01.2003 Source: URL: http://english.pravda.ru/russia/20445-0

      The use of the new geophysical weapon might lead to the global catastrophe

      A lot of specialists and scientists believe that unpredictable natural disasters and several man-caused catastrophes that struck Europe and Asia in the summer of the year 2002 say that there might be certain global reasons that caused them all. First and foremost, it goes about a possibility of secret geophysical weapon tests. Those tests were either secret or unauthorized. The Russian Federation State Duma spent almost a year, considering the global threat of the HAARP program. The Duma finally prepared two addresses: to President Putin and to the UN, international organizations, parliaments and governments of all countries, to the scientific community of the world, as well as to mass media. The Russian parliament suggested the global banning of HAARP tests. In September of the year 2002 the State Duma of Russia discussed this question and conducted the voting in order to send the mentioned addresses to the adequate addressees. One hundred and eighty-eight deputies voted for the address to President Vladimir Putin, whereas the same subject for the UN returned 220 votes. This proved that Russian parliamentarians were rather concerned about the development and possible use of geophysical weapons.

      It is well known that the USA and the USSR concluded an agreement at the end of the 1970s. Pursuant to the agreement, scientific developments in the field of geophysics for military purposes were banned. All the works in the field became secret too. However, the works continued anyway, despite the signed document. It was simply conducted under the disguise of the scientific research or the development of the double-purpose technology. The point and the purpose of those developments were rather vague and even mysterious.

      A lot of specialists and scientists believe that a special American program HAARP is one of those developments. American scientist Bernard Eastlund is considered to be the godfather of this program. He received the patent for the method and for the device to measure the layers of the Earth atmosphere, the ionosphere and/or the magnetosphere. It is an open secret that the USA (probably, not the USA alone) has already constructed high-frequency transmitter facilities. Those devices can heat the earth environment up to the state of plasma by means of pumping ions. This makes it possible to control the environment, which might show considerable influence on the atmospheric phenomena. The owners of this weapon are able to program floods, twisters and storms, even earthquakes in any region of the planet. It is also possible to paralyze civil and military electric surveillance systems, and even to affect the mentality of whole nations.

      There is a suspicion that the unusual natural disasters and man-caused catastrophes of the year 2002, the unexplainable indifference of several nations on the post-Soviet territory might be linked to USA's tests of geophysical weapons of low capacities. However, neither American politicians and scientists, nor the world community know, if it is going to be possible to stop the work of the geophysical weapon, if it is used at its full capacity. This is the major problem. It is quite possible that the first full capacity use of the geophysical weapon might end up in a global catastrophe. Does it seem to be science fiction? Not really, as a matter of fact. High frequency transmitter facilities already exist. They are located in Norway and at an army base in Alaska. The short description of the program and some photographs can be found on the official site Haarp.alaska.edu. Another high power transmitter facility, a more powerful one, is going to be put into operation in Greenland soon. When this happens, the geophysical weapon will be capable of covering Eurasia from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast.

      The information on this subject appeared on several Ukrainian websites on September of 2002. In this connection, I think that the Ukrainian parliament must support the initiative of the Russian State Duma as well. The Ukrainian Academy of Sciences ought to consider the issue of HAARP's potential threat to Ukraine. Adequate institutions ought to collect all the information available and identify Ukraine's stand on the subject.

      Yuru Solomatin Ukrainian deputy, the secretary of the Ukrainian committee for the economic policy, nature management and for the liquidation of Chernobyl tragedy consequences.

      Can't afford UF?...Try Harvard.

      Parental financial contribution eliminated from families earning $60,000 or less.

      http://www.fao.fas.harvard.edu/

      Welcome to the Harvard College Financial Aid Office. We are eager to help you and your family understand our financial aid programs and to assist you in finding ways to meet your college costs. Our goal is to work with each family to ensure access to the Harvard education students have worked so hard to secure. All of our financial aid is awarded on the basis of demonstrated financial need—there are no academic, athletic or merit-based awards. Harvard meets the full need of every student, including international students, for all four years.

      Building on the success of the Harvard Financial Aid Initiative (HFAI), which eliminated the parental contribution from families earning $60,000 or less, Harvard recently announced major financial aid enhancements to ensure greater affordability for middle- and upper-middle income families. Beginning in the 2008–09 academic year, parents with incomes of $180,000 or less will be asked to contribute significantly less to the cost of a Harvard education. Additionally, home equity will no longer be considered in determining a family's ability to contribute and students will not be expected to take out loans, which will be replaced by need-based Harvard scholarship. To learn more about the details of this initiative, (click here: FAQs about the new initiative)

      We look forward to working with you,

      9/11: Evidence of "Targeting Laser" to guide jet to strike South Tower

       
      Evidence of "Targeting Laser" to guide jet to strike South Tower
       


      See the "Targeting Laser" dot on the building as it tracks from left to right, continues across the fireball and extinguishes only after appearing on the building next to it. It is turned off when it reaches midpoint of building to the right. This targeting laser was one of the systems that was used to guide the large Boeing plane into the tower. The Boeing was not a real passenger plane with passengers aboard. It is more likely that it was remote controlled and full of explosives. The flash seen just before impact at the nose of the plane was likely some type of proximity device that initiated the explosives upon impact. Later in this video you will see a small jet powered aircraft that was likely used to project the "IR Beam" on the tower that the Boeing used as a homing signal to focus on the target (the South Tower) and make final approach adjustments. It is called a UAV (with laser designation). If you study this and other footage, you will notice that the plane appears to bank 16% port just as the IR Laser homing image appears on the tower. The timing is perfect.

      Some have commented on the appearance of "flickering" of the laser image. This is part of the "coding" of the laser so that targeting sensors do not mistake some other image when seeking a target.

      The "dot" is not paper or a reflection. This projection does not react to wind or the explosion... it continues undisturbed. Also, if it were a solid object or reflection, it would have appeared on numerous other videos. IR is invisible to human eye, but not to the camera that got the shot of the dot.

      It must be noted that the small UAV in this footage is NOT a Global Hawk. It is something else, and I am doing further research (links posted below). *Camera Planet* footage.

      Panel Seeks Changes in E.P.A. Reviews

      Panel Seeks Changes in E.P.A. Reviews

      http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/04/science/04epa.html?_r=1&th&emc=th

      The Environmental Protection Agency must revise its approach to assessing environmental health hazards and other risks, because current practices hinder useful and timely regulation, an expert panel of The National Research Council says.

      The council, the research arm of the National Academy of Sciences, said the agency should scrap some of the assumptions on which its decisions have been based and reduce its focus on individual chemicals and other hazards to consider how they act in combination. It should also accept that uncertainty was always an issue and seek to provide practical information to policy makers as quickly as possible.

      The report, which the panel produced at the behest of the E.P.A., was made public Wednesday and is online at www.nas.edu.

      Determining whether something is a hazard and, if so, how great and to whom is a crucial step in devising appropriate environmental regulations, the panel said, and the field is advancing as testing systems and other technology advance.

      But assessing environmental risks is highly complex and full of uncertainty, it continued, and at the E.P.A., "the regulatory risk-assessment process is bogged down," with some assessments taking a decade or more. For example, the report cited an assessment of trichloroethylene, a commonly used solvent, that has been under way since the 1980s and is not expected before 2010.

      The environmental agency's conclusions about risk are usually crucial in establishing regulatory goals. As a result, they are often subject to intense political or economic pressure. When the Bush administration proposed changes that it said would streamline risk-assessment procedures, critics called the proposal an effort to weaken environmental regulation. In a 2007 report, the academy dismissed the proposal as "fundamentally flawed," and it was withdrawn.

      Thomas A. Burke, an epidemiologist at the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University, said the new report focused on the use of "defaults," assumptions that are made about one factor or another in the face of uncertainty.

      "Many of them are founded on good science," he said, "but there are some hidden assumptions. Right now, when we don't have information on a pollutant, we treat it as if there's no risk. That's a so-called hidden default."

      Dr. Burke added, "We really need to address these gaps."

      Another issue the report cited was the effect of cumulative exposures to a variety of environmental hazards. Usually these hazards are studied one by one. But Dr. Burke said, "You have to consider not just the one compound but you have to ask broadly, because people are exposed to many, many thousands of substances."

      A spokesman for the American Chemical Society said it would have no comment on the report until members had had time to read it.

      Joel Tickner, a professor of environmental health at the University of Massachusetts at Lowell who studies chemicals in the environment, said that while he had not seen the report, its focus on speeding environmental review and consideration of cumulative effects was overdue.

      "We put a lot of effort into finding more complex ways to characterize the problems while we don't put nearly as much resources into studying solutions," Professor Tickner said.

      He, too, cited trichloroethylene, saying, "Given that we know trichloroethylene is a neurotoxin and a carcinogen and that there are very good alternatives, it makes no sense to put so much resources into studying it."

      Professor Tickner said that by focusing on safer alternatives for processes like degreasing, industries in Massachusetts had reduced their use of the compound by 90 percent.

      "But as long as we are uncertain, we assume there is no problem," he said. "That provides almost an incentive to having scientific uncertainty."

      Boeing Airborne Laser Successfully Activates High-Energy Laser

      With the achievement of the first firing of the laser aboard the aircraft in September, the team has now completed the two major milestones it hoped to accomplish in 2008, keeping ABL on track to conduct the missile shoot-down demonstration planned for next year.

      The company said the test was the final stage of the first full ground test of the entire weapon system integrated aboard the aircraft.
      Boeing is the prime integrator for the ABL program. The company said the test was carried out at Edwards Air Force Base in California by its industry teammates and by the U.S. Missile Defense Agency.

      In the test, the laser beam traveled through the beam control/fire control system before exiting the aircraft through the nose-mounted turret. The beam control/fire control system steered and focused the beam onto a simulated ballistic-missile target, the company said.

      This test is significant because it demonstrated that the Airborne Laser missile defense program has successfully integrated the entire weapon system aboard the ABL aircraft, said Scott Fancher, vice president and general manager of Boeing Missile Defense Systems.

      With the achievement of the first firing of the laser aboard the aircraft in September, the team has now completed the two major milestones it hoped to accomplish in 2008, keeping ABL on track to conduct the missile shoot-down demonstration planned for next year, Fancher said.

      Michael Rinn, Boeing vice president and ABL program director, stated that the next goal for the ABL project would be to conduct several longer-duration laser firings through the beam control/fire control system.

      Once we complete those tests, we will begin demonstrating the entire weapon system in flight, Rinn said. The team is meeting its commitment to deliver this transformational directed-energy weapon system in the near term.
       
      Boeing said the latest success followed a series major breakthroughs in the formerly troubled program. It noted a 2005 test that confirmed the high-energy laser could be fired with deadly levels of duration and power in the System Integration Laboratory at Edwards AFB.

      Last year the Airborne Laser was subjected to many flight tests that confirmed its ability to monitor, target, hit and destroy airborne targets, including taking offset readings to allow for atmospheric conditions, and then firing an effective high-energy laser's simulated lethal beam on the target.

      In September the laser reached its first light milestone when the high-energy laser was shot into a calorimeter aboard the aircraft.
      The ABL's goal is to produce a speed-of-light capability to all types of ballistic missiles including intercontinental ballistic missiles during their boost phase of flight.
