More on Chemtrails, aka geoengineering

There has been a solid mass of clouds in the mornings for the past week.  The only time we used to see this is when it was going to rain or snow–otherwise, we saw clouds separately floating by.  (and they had shapes like turtles and dragons and such :p)

I saw them spraying in the late afternoon, just before it got dark one day this week.  I’m sure they’re spraying at night to make a solid cloud cover.

Also,  when asking the previous question of who is profiting off of this, who has the power to do this, and who pretends to give a rip about people’s health….but the destruction left behind is evidence of the contrary….well, this might shed some light on that.  A lot of money involved with two scientists being judge and jury and eliminating public input—broad public input.  Note the same ones sponsoring tar sands are also sponsoring this–now what is that line you’re feeding me about geoengineering helping global warming??  People who advocate the tar sands are not interested in the environment.  Bitumen is hazardous to the environment, to humans, to animals.

“The stakes are very high and scientists are not the best people to deal with the social, ethical or political issues that geoengineering raises,” said Doug Parr, chief scientist at Greenpeace. “The idea that a self-selected group should have so much influence is bizarre.”

~~~~~~~~

Word.

The hubris of scientists is amazing.  They actually think they are superior to nature….when nature has repeatedly made fools out of scientists. And as pointed out–who are they to decide if this is the right thing to do?  Arrogant and smug about how Keith is so smart he has it all figured out…including the disasters that await from geoengineering.  Not.

They are making me ill.  They are making others ill.  They have freaking heavy metals in them—which any scientist would know that spraying neurotoxins over people will eventually build up in their bodies and make them ill.  It is no coincidence when I jog with clear blue skies, I feel good afterward.  And if I jog when chemtrails have been sprayed, I feel tired and as the other day illustrates, resulting in a migraine with pale and swollen face.

Let’s take a quick look at some of the things science has brought us:  the application of chemicals for agriculture…and the illnesses that followed.  DDT nearly drove the Eagle to extinction.  Agent Orange not only defoliated Vietnam, but cause multiple birth defects for not only the Vietnamese, but the U.S. veterans, as well.    And let’s not forget the horrible experiment of DES on women.    A good video on it here.

And here’s a summary of scientists behaving badly.  It’s ironic that it mentions Stephen Colbert.    I saw on a promo ad tonight that Colbert is supposed to host David Keith.  He said in a previous show that the guest “better not say anything bad” about Bill Gates because Bill Gates is a friend of Colbert’s.  So, is that how it is, Stephen?  You’re now actively promoting Bill Gates agenda and no one better say anything against megalomaniacal Gates?   Yeah, not too credible.  I gave Colbert waaaay more credit than that.

Oh…and the author better check up on the true nature of Orcas.  They’re not whales, for one thing.  And they only kill in captivity.

…and you want to frack this…?

Only a heartless person would want to ruin this by fracking….

Anti-fracking activists struck by vehicle

(I really wanted to take some time off, but there is just too much stuff going on…)

Natives protesting fracking on their land have been run over.  I’m unclear about the first paragraph and whether the persons were run over by SWN vehicles.  In the posted tweets, note the upside down Canadian flag (on the mylar balloon)–I have to wonder if that were purposeful, as they have flown the U.S. flag upside down as a signal of distress.   And support is growing around the world, with Ireland expressing their solidarity with the Elsipogtog.  Bless the Irish 🙂

In this link,  the journalists have rallied around Miles Howe, the journalist arrested three times so far:

The Canadian Association of Journalists issued a press release Monday calling on “the RCMP to either lay charges or stop harassing a journalist working in New Brunswick arrested for the third time on Nov. 28,” referring to Media Co-op’s Miles Howe.

“RCMP behaviour suggests they are unfamiliar with the charter rights of a free press and the allowances those rights permit journalists while covering controversial and volatile situations,” CAJ president Hugo Rodrigues said.

This just in:  RCMP arrests Santa.  For shame.

Caption:  “Well, that about sums it up.”  Yep….except the politician needs to be wearing a blazer with all the corporate logos that sponsor him/her on it…..and their pockets full of cash they bribe with…

On a hot summer day, nothing sounds better than a cool drink of water….

(sorry for the visual, but you get the point…contaminated water is unappealing to look at as harmful to the body.)

The Warriors send their greetings and Thanks.

Blessings to the defenders of the water and land…

Haiti in turmoil…still…

Haitians are protesting...but you wouldn’t know that listening to the nightly nooz…which has a morbid fixation on Obamacare and Obama’s popularity…because, you know, that is waaay more important than what is going on around the world, such as the First Nations protests or Haitian protests…or pretty much any protests around the world.

 

…and in my own backyard…Enbridge

I found this piece on the deceptive PR by Enbridge.  Sadly, the article doesn’t go far enough and mention the pipeline coming through northern Indiana….just a stone’s throw away from Lake Michigan.

Three years?  Three freaking years to clean up an oil spill?  This alone should be reason enough not to trust Enbridge.  They don’t have the first clue on how to clean up after their many messes.  And they really don’t care….it costs money to clean up and they really don’t care about the environment, much to their protestations.

“We clearly can not accomplish all of that in the remaining weeks of 2013,” says Jason Manshum, an Enbridge spokesman. He blames the company’s difficulty in getting a local permit for a dredge pad near the Morrow Lake delta.   The company wanted to dump sludge from the river on the pad site.    People and businesses near the site fought against it.

~~~~~~~~~

I don’t blame the folks fighting against having the sludge placed nearby.  See…Enbridge doesn’t have a plan in place for what to do when a leak happens.  I say dump the sludge on the properties of the Enbridge execs and let them deal with it.  I have a feeling that if this was the law, Enbridge and all the other energy companies would suddenly change their myopic views.

Last night, the Kalamazoo Board of Commissioners agreed to let Enbridge use part of a county park as part of the company’s plan to dredge a section of the river near Morrow Lake.

<sigh>

Yeah…let’s contaminate a park…./snark

Note in the comments that pipelines are not subject to aggressive inspections or inspectors….

 

Speaking of the Native Tribes

Continuing coverage of the Mi’kmaq protests in Canada~

The injunction is explained:

The above journalist was arrested.

His arrest, for the third time (he was not charged in either of the two previous arrests) is unacceptable and it appears to be the state’s preferred strategy for stopping him from getting the word out about protests in Elsipogtog.

~~~~~~~~

I think this is as clear a case as any for harassment.  Howe was not charged in the previous two arrests…so they’re going for a third…?

Here’s the video of his arrest.  Note the officer taking a video of the person who is taking the video of the officers arresting Howe.  Three officers for an unarmed person who is not resisting arrest?  Really?

The update below the video link states Howe has been released and is in good spirits.

Another article on more arrests.  What I don’t understand is that they had left the protest…and then they were arrested.

A note up for a rally tomorrow.

 

 

Suzuki showing support for First Nations

David Suzuki is supporting the Elsipogtog protests.  Thank you, David!

Meanwhile, the trucks arrive in convoy. Another pic here.

Harper spies on the peaceful group. Note that their own intelligence says they do not see them as a violent threat….yet, they show up in riot gear and tear gas the peaceful protestors. I’m glad to read that they are also protesting Enbridge, which is in my own backyard.  “We want to keep the people and environment safe…”  bwahaha, that’s rich.  If you really cared about the environment, you wouldn’t be building a pipeline to begin with.

(DN also covered this happening in the U.S. towards nonprofit groups that big business perceives as threats. Big Brother has arrived.)

Lastly, this pic of a smiling female Warrior.

The War against Teachers

Reclaim Reform has this somber post up on the worldwide attack on the teachers, the teacher’s unions, and free speech, as well. The last video (world wide) really got to me–treating these folks like animals!  Take note that World Bank demanded the austerity measures….

Setback for First Nations protestors in Canada

Keeping up with the First Nations protests in Canada–

A judge has ruled that indigenous protestors are not to interfere with fracking by SWN….even though it is on Mi’kmaq land.

There are other ways to silence free speech and protests.

A video here on the damage already being done just by exploration.  He describes the water from the broken aquifer as having an oily consistency.  I hope that he has taken samples of the water for testing. And that he goes back in the Spring to access the damage to the Earth, plants, and wildlife.

From the piece:

Water Flowing from Shotholes or Testholes

Requirements when water comes to surface or flows from shotholes or testholes

1(1)If water is released from an aquifer or stratum while drilling a shothole or testhole and comes to the surface or flows from the shothole or testhole, the permittee shall, without undue delay, notify the Minister and ensure that all drilling on the flowing hole is discontinued, that no explosive charge is loaded into the shothole and that the flow of water is confined to the aquifer or original stratum in accordance with section 2 of this Schedule or in a manner proposed by the permittee and approved by the Minister.

1(2)If water is released from an aquifer or stratum and comes to the surface or flows from a shothole or testhole following the drilling of the testhole or the drilling or detonation of the shothole, the permittee shall, without undue delay, notify the Minister and ensure that the flow of water is confined to the aquifer or original stratum in accordance with section 2 of this Schedule or in a manner proposed by the permittee and approved by the Minister.

1(3)If a shothole is flowing before an explosive charge is detonated, the permittee shall ensure that the charge is detonated.

1(4)Without undue delay, the geophysical licensee shall submit to the Minister a report, on a form provided by the Minister, with respect to each flowing shothole or testhole

(a)after the flow of water has been confined to the aquifer or original stratum under subsections (1) and

(2), or (b)after reasonable attempts have been made to confine the flow of water to the aquifer or original stratum under subsections (1) and (2).

1(5)If, after reasonable attempts have been made, the flow of water from a shothole or testhole cannot be confined in accordance with section 2 of this Schedule, the geophysical licensee shall, as soon as possible, submit to the Minister for his or her approval a plan for the control and management of the flow of water.

1(6)If water flows from a shothole or testhole when drilling operations are in progress, the permittee shall ensure that the process referred to in subsection 2(2) of this Schedule is complied with when any subsequent shotholes or testholes in the sequence are drilled.”

Anonymous has this posted on the Warriors being held in solitary confinement.

Parents being arrested for protecting their children’s water….for protecting the future.

Finally, Idle No More has this up for anyone wishing to help the Elsipogtog.

Silkwood

Karen Silkwood died on this day nearly forty years ago.  Her death was ruled an accident, but there was controversy surrounding her.  I didn’t want to let this day go by without putting her story out there.  Her story highlighted another aspect of the nuclear industry–manufacturing.  As always, when there is a profit to be made, corners are cut to obtain the biggest profit.

Karen was asking questions and that is never a popular with manufacturers who cut corners on safety.

I hope she is at peace.
