Karen Warnick - The Independent
PHOENIX - She might be retired from political life, but former state senator Karen Johnson is not retired from being an activist. After serving in the House of Representatives for eight years and the senate for four, Johnson retired in 2008 to her home in Linden where she now has time to garden and become more active in issues that concern her.
One of these issues took her on a recent trip back to the state capital to try to bring the subject of chemtrails and geoengineering to her former colleagues, including Governor Jan Brewer and Senator Sylvia Allen who is from Snowflake.
Taking several people active in the chemtrail debate with her, Johnson visited the House, the Senate and Governor Brewer's offices, dropping off packets that contain the DVD "What in the World Are They Spraying," and articles and information on the subject.
The documentary was produced by G. Edward Griffin, Michael J. Murphy and Paul Wittenberger. Griffin is a writer and documentary film producer with many successful titles to his credit. Listed in Who's Who in America, he is well known for tackling difficult and controversial topics and presenting them in clear terms that are easy to understand. One of his most popular books is titled "The Creature from Jekyll Island."
The video attempts to answer the question of what is being sprayed in our skies and why. The answers they find are extremely disturbing. The producers visited Johnson at her home in Linden and she became part of the documentary. According to the website www.suite101.com
"Research indicates that the trails are part of a geoengineering program that may already be in its initial implementation phase. Scientists at the Carnegie Institution are using taxpayer money to lay the groundwork for injecting the atmosphere with materials they believe will artificially cool the planet, in a bid to stave off what we are told is modern civilization's greatest threat to date, anthropogenic global warming."
Mike and Bridget Conroy of Phoenix were also a part of the group and have spent years researching the chemtrail issue and conducting air samples. Their website, www.arizonaskywatch.com, tracks their work with pictures, articles and lab reports.
Though it was moving day and most legislators were not in their offices, the group met with Senator Allen for a few moments in her office. Senator Allen stated that she has been getting calls from her constituents on the issue and is interested in taking a look at the packet.
Other members of Johnson's group included friends Dinah Lundell and Doug and Judy Staab. A reporter from the Capitol Times newspaper was also there to do a short interview with Johnson.
Johnson managed to find a few other officials including Kevin Kinsall who works for Brewer in Environmental Quality. He took the packet and said he would review it and get back to Johnson.
Senator Cecil Ash from District 18 also promised to look into the issue. He is Chairman of the Health and Human Services committee.
Governor Brewer was not in her office, but staff members were handed the packets and asked to pass them on to their legislators. Johnson hopes that enough of them will become interested in the information to start a public dialogue on the issue. She also would like to see Arizona declare the state a "no-fly zone" for chemtrail spraying.
"The data found from the producers shows that one of the chemicals being sprayed is aluminum oxide which is toxic to all life," said an angry Johnson. "Alzheimer's has increased rapidly since they started spraying in the late 1990s."
Despite the fact that the chemtrail spraying has reportedly been going on since around 1998, there is little official recognition of the issue and in most cases out right denial. Johnson hopes that by bringing attention to the issue, it can be forced out into the open before too much damage is done.

NOAA Weather Spawning
by Dr. X in Ohio
Watching the Commercial Live Titan Radar for the past ten days,
my study has clearly defined a HAARPs ChemTrails Generated
Spawning of Snow Storms over the Western Tier of the United States.
Locations of developement are over the Dakatos, Calgary, Alberta, Canada. E mail accounts of atmospheric Spraying of both Di-Bromide Dessicants in Washington, Oregon, Vancouver, BC and with the levels or
organic bacterium contained, precip. Nucleating particles and their horrendous sprayings have been causative of massive Flu Like Symptoms,
shortness of Breath, Low Blood Oxygen Levels and general Malaise.
These Storms are borne of the HAARPs ELF wave forms, which cause
Coldness in the areas of Radiation, includes the GWEN Towers auxillaries.
Super Frozen Snow Ice Crystal-laden Clouds are carried high twoard the Tier of US an Canada...then launched around Minnesota to dive SouthEastward.....across the Great Lakes Region...picking up more Moisture.
Then these Storm Systems are collided with Gulf Moisture Streams over
the Plains States....and travel Eastward, across Ohio and onward to New York, DC and Virginia. One after another...relentless.
These Artificial Storms also keep the Grounds Frozen in the Bread Belts, Farmers continue to belay the planting of Grain Crops as a result.
Poison our air, poison our precip. horribly pollute the Surface Waters (eventually Groundwaters) with 12 known Carcenogens as Heavy-Metals
biological organisms such as a mutated e-coli (Genetically mutated with Fusarium Fungus) causaing a respiratory-nightmare for those inhaling or exposing themselves to it...even for brief periods, or getting their heads wet with Snow, rain etc. The Pneumonia is Bacterial and Fungal...so is TB.
This is just an observation from one that has constantly watched these
Demon Driven Minions continue to 'force-technologies' that will eventually
harm all Living things on this Planet.
Call for an immediate Abolishment of NOAA, EPA, Coast Guard, DNR's
Here, take a look for yourself...Live Titan Radar...just roll out to see the entire US...look over to the left...Canada, upper Tier US....see how they dive SE to roll across the Great Lakes...like a conveyor Belt...hey, but that's money money money for Salt for roads, more Foods to be purchased, more Electrical power for heating, more Natural Gas usage, more of everything...just use more, $$$$
Get it ?

Chemtrails are Real: Can They Spray Us? Yes They Can
Please read this bill passed by Congress, especially the exceptions...
U.S. CODE TITLE 50, SECTION 1520(a) S 1520. Repealed. Pub Law. 105-85, Div. A, Title X, S 1078(g), Nov. 18, 1997, 111 Stat. 1916S 1520a. Restriction on the use of human subjects for testing of chemical or biological agents
(a) Prohibited activities The Secretary of Defense may not conduct (directly or by contract)- (1) any test or experiment involving the use of a chemical agent or biological agent on a civilian population; or (2) any other testing of a chemical agent or biological agent on human subjects.
(b) Exceptions Subject to subsections (c), (d), and (e) of this section, the prohibition in subsection (a) of this section does not apply to a test or experiment carried out for any of the following purposes: (1) Any peaceful purpose that is related to a medical, therapeutic, pharmaceutical, agricultural, industrial, or research activity. (2) Any purpose that is directly related to protection against toxic chemicals or biological weapons and agents. (3) Any law enforcement purpose, including any purpose related to riot control.
(B) Such terms include exotic weapons systems such as--
(i) electronic, psychotronic, or information weapons;
(ii) chemtrails;
(iii) high altitude ultra low frequency weapons systems;(iv) plasma, electromagnetic, sonic, or ultrasonic weapons;
(v) laser weapons systems;
(vi) strategic, theater, tactical, or extraterrestrial weapons; and
(vii) chemical, biological, environmental, climate, or tectonic weapons.
(C) 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.
WEBMASTER'S COMMENTS:
H.R. 2977 was re-written and the revised bill, H.R. 3616, the "Space Preservation Act of 2002", was introduced on January 23, 2002. The word "chemtrails" was deleted from the revised bill as well as any reference to particle beams, electromagnetic radiation, plasmas, ELF, ULF, or any mind control technologies.
Apparently, Congress wants to continue "legally" using chemtrails and other weapons of mass destruction against their constituents and the people of Earth.
The military is empowered to continue lethal experimentation by devious wording of Section 1520a Chapter 32 of U.S. Code Title 50. The law states that the Secretary of Defense may NOT conduct any chemical or biological test or experiment on civilian populations, unless such tests are for medical, therapeutic, pharmaceutical, agricultural, industrial purposes or for research in general or for protection against weapons or for law enforcement purposes, including riot control. So DOD may not use us for guinea pigs, unless it is for any "good" reason under the sun! The law states that human subjects must give informed consent. But a nasty loophole in Section 1515 of Chapter 32 allows informed consent to be suspended by executive order during a period of national emergency, a situation under which this nation perpetually labors by deliberate hobgoblin design.

An Appeal to Obomba about Chemtrails
And a very important message in vid#1 from A C Griffith, an investigative researcher with a background in radio communications technology and intelligence gathering for the Air Force, National Security Agency (N.S.A.) and the Central Intelligence Agency (C.I.A.). He holds top secret clearance and is married to a lawyer judge and his Father-in-law was a Justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia.
A C Griffith has come to the forefront with his revelations on how our country is being destroyed right before our eyes and why it is so important that we be both informed and prepared for what is coming.
Mr. Griffith personally infiltrated the chemtrail program headquarters so many years ago. They been doing if for decades, its true.

Mystery Goo Turns Icicles Green and Yellow in Snyder, N.Y.
FAA Dismisses Suggestions That Gunk Is 'Blue Ice' From Passing Jetliners
Video here: http://abcnews.go.com/US/splatterings-green-goo-fall-sky-snyder-ny/story?id=12649849

Most of the houses along Washington Highway and Berryman Drive have taken down their Christmas lights, but are now sporting green or yellow icicles. The sides of houses are splashed with a deep brown substance and sidewalks are also spotted with the stuff.
Residents say the material appeared between 9 a.m. and midnight last Tuesday.
Initial suspicions focused on "blue ice," the frozen human excrement known to fall from passing jetliners, but the FAA investigated and quickly dismissed that possibility.
"The local flight standards inspectors investigated the situation and determined it was not from an aircraft," FAA spokeswoman Arlene Salac told ABC News.
The Amherst Town Supervisor's Office said that they are looking into the situation.
"We have contacted our emergency services people and we also have a waste water treatment plant in town and the interim engineer for that is trying to get the debris tested," said Lisa Kistner, a spokeswoman for the town supervisor.
One resident provided Kistner with her own theory.
"We received a call this morning from a woman who owns a house on the same street, Washington Highway. She gave us her explanation because it happened to her last year," Kistner said.
"She said it's actually because the seagulls eat fast food at McDonald's, which upsets their digestive tract. They were eating French fries out of paper bags... As soon as she got the fast food restaurants to make sure all of their trash was cleaned up in their parking lots, she no longer had that problem," Kistner said. "She suggested that someone check the fast food parking lots because that is probably the root cause of this issue."
Bird experts who have seen pictures of the goo agree that they resemble bird droppings.
"The splotches we see on the siding are consistent with what we would expect from a large flock of birds such as European starlings, a species that is found in large numbers in upstate New York at this time of year," said Miyoko Chu, a spokesperson for the Cornell Lab of Ornithology after looking at video of purple splotches on house sidings.
But after seeing additional video showing green and yellow gunk on homes, Chu was baffled.
"More recent footage shows larger areas of greenish yellow wash, and we do not know what that is," she said.
Chu wasn't so sure about the French fry-eating seagull theory.
"The size of the droppings would suggest to me that it's a smaller bird than a seagull. Small numerous droppings on siding are not what you expect to see from seagulls, which are larger birds," she said.

UNDIAGNOSED DISEASE, FATAL - PAPUA NEW GUINEA: NORTHERN, REQUEST FOR

A ProMED-mail post

Ten people have died reportedly from an unknown disease in remote
villages along the Owen Stanley Range in Northern [Province?], The
National reports [see].
This has caused panic and a health concern among other villagers and
[in] nearby areas, as the disease causes extreme swelling to various
parts of the body, then they die.
Public servants, who live in Port Moresby, were recently in these
villages for the Christmas and New Year festive season and witnessed
this disease.
In the Fafia local level government of Musa, 10 villagers in Upper
Musa along the 2 main rivers had contracted the disease, causing the
Middle and Lower Musa people to fear for their lives because of the
risk of infection.
The symptoms include painful swellings from the legs, which then
spread to the arms and hands, the stomach and then the head before it
kills the person.
Musa villagers are concerned because there was a lack of medical
personnel to attend to those affected. "The health facilities, such as
the buildings that are there, are rundown. They have been [in] that
state for the past 12 or so years," one public servant said. He said
because of this and the lack of drugs, there were no health workers
around. Leaders in Middle and Lower Musa villages are now requesting
officials from the provincial and national health authorities to
investigate.
They are fearful that the disease may be water-borne as they are
located downstream from the affected area, and that the water may be
contaminated with bacteria. The source said the inability to get
medical assistance to these people was a case of negligence and
ignorance by the provincial government. "This also applies to other
basic services such as setting up and running a school in this area."

[Outbreaks of mysterious illnesses in remote regions of Papua New
Guinea have been reported by ProMED-mail in the past. At times, these
illnesses have been attributed to influenza, dysentery, and cholera.
The news release describes the current illness as painful swelling
that starts in the legs and then spreads to the arms and hands, the
abdomen and finally the head before it kills the person. Swelling that
starts in the legs (possibly dependent edema), and then involves the
abdomen (possibly ascites) and finally the face, suggests kidney

Neither the presence of fever, respiratory symptoms such as shortness
of breath, nor diarrhea are mentioned as part of the clinical picture.

possibly water-borne; exposure to a toxin is not mentioned. The region
lacks the resources to readily diagnose the illness. ProMED-mail would
very much appreciate confirmation of the clinical presentation and
information on the results of investigations of these reported
undiagnosed deaths in Papua New Guinea.

UNDIAGNOSED DIE-OFF, FISH - NEW ZEALAND: REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
****************************************************************
A ProMED-mail post

International Society for Infectious Diseases

Hundreds of dead snapper have washed up on Coromandel beaches, leaving
holidaymakers perplexed. People at Little Bay and Waikawau Bay, on the
north east of the peninsula, were stunned when children came out of the sea
with armfuls of the fish and within minutes the shore was littered with them.
A resident, whose family have lived at Little Bay for the last 30 years,
said she had never seen anything like it. "It was so surreal," she said.
"It's such an incredible waste -- it could've fed the whole northern tip of
the Coromandel."
People with binoculars said the snapper stretched as far as they could see
and boaties reported "a carpet of floating fish further out to sea all
along the coast".
"We initially thought 'woohoo a free feed' but they had really cloudy eyes
and you could see the birds had been at them. Some of them had no eyes,"
the Little Bay resident said.
Her parents called the Department of Conservation and were told it was most
likely the fish had starved due to weather conditions, but Pearsall did not
think that was the case as many of the fish looked big and healthy. The
Fisheries Ministry are currently investigating the situation and said they
could not yet say what the cause was.
"Any commercial operators must record and report their catch," said
ministry field operations officer for Waikato, Bay of Plenty and the
Coromandel Brendon Mikkelsen. "They're equally as concerned as we are ...
it's not in anybody's interests for fish to be abandoned at sea."
Mikkelsen said it had happened before but given the quantity of fish it was
very concerning. People saw floating snapper in the water as early as 5:00
am yesterday [4 Jan 2011] but the ministry only received reports 12 hours
later. Mikkelsen urged people to get in touch as soon as they saw anything
amiss.

Officials Blame "Fireworks" for Sweden's Dead Birds
Undiagnosed die-off, avian - Sweden: jackdaws
**********************************************
A ProMED-mail post
ProMED-mail is a program of the
International Society for Infectious Diseases
In this report:

[1] Falkoping, Sweden
Date: Wed 5 Jan 2011
Source: The Local [edited]
A county veterinarian has speculated that the birds that fell from
the sky in central Sweden on Tuesday [4 Jan 2011] may have been
frightened by fireworks, then run over by a car after landing on the
road in the dark. Shortly before midnight on Tuesday, residents found
50 to 100 jackdaws on a street in Falkoping southeast of Skovde. The
incident echoed a number of unexplained incidents earlier this week
across the southern US.
"We have received information from local residents last night. Our
main theory is that the birds were scared away because of the
fireworks and landed on the road, but couldn't fly away from the
stress and were hit by a car," he explained to The Local on Wednesday
[5 Jan 2011]. He added that they likely had difficulty orienting
themselves in the dark and although they have received one report
involving a vehicular collision with the birds, ter Horst believes
they may have been hit by more.
The site where the birds were found has now been blocked for a
veterinary inspection of the birds. Emergency services had cordoned
off the area earlier on Wednesday [5 Jan 2011] .
Anders Wirdheim of the Swedish Ornithological Society (Sveriges
ornitologiska forening, SOF) believes the jackdaws likely were
frightened in the middle of the night, then flew around in the dark
and collided with various objects. "Jackdaws spend the night in trees
in large flocks. If they are frightened, hundreds of birds could take
flight at once," he told TT.
Wirdheim noted that the affected bird species in the [recent mass
bird die-off in Arkansas] US are also those who spend the night in
large flocks. He added that the birds' situation may have aggravated
because they are weakened.
"This winter has been unusually tough and jackdaws may be in poor
condition. That makes it easier for them to fly into different
objects. There is very little food in the wild compared with previous
years and I see dying birds every day," he said.

The cause of death of the jackdaws found dead on the streets of
Falkoping, in central Sweden, was external force, not infection or
disease, showed the autopsy completed on Wednesday [5 Jan 2011]. 5 of
the dead birds were autopsied by the National Veterinary Institute,
(Statens veterinarmedicinska anstalt, SVA) and results showed that
the birds had died of acute blunt force.
According to Marianne Elvander, zoologist at SVA, the jackdaws were
killed by severe internal bleeding. None of the birds showed sign of
infection or illness.
"Our assessment is that they weren't carrying any contagious disease,
but figuring out exactly what did kill them, other than being some
sort of external force, is rather outside our area," said Olov
Andersson, SVA's information officer, to TT news agency.
"What comes to mind is that they may have flown up, and been hit, or
something of the sort," he speculated, a theory defended by most experts.
The birds may have been frightened by something in the middle of the
night, flown about blindly, and died in collisions with different
objects in the dark.

[Jackdaws (Corvus monedul) are dark plumage passerine birds in the
same genus as crows and ravens. They live in large flocks near urban
areas, coming to roost together in trees at night.
Both this Swedish mass bird die-off and the recent incident in
Arkansas over the New Years holiday has been proven to be caused from
trauma. Both incidents show similar patterns in that it happened at
night during extreme weather conditions in birds that roost in big
flocks. When startled, the birds fly off blindly and hit other
objects and crash to the ground. There are possibly more incidents
like this which are unrelated, occurring locally around the world but
are under reported. The international news coverage has raised the
public's awareness, and so more incidents are likely to be reported.

CDC (Finally) Issues Warning About Fluoride
After decades of poisoning the American people with toxic fluoride chemicals dumped into the water supply, the CDC today issued a warning that fluoride was causing permanent harm to tens of millions of people.
The CDC then suggested that fluoride poisoning levels in public water supplies be lowered to 0.7 mg per liter. Does this announcement signal the beginning of the end of the era of fluoride poisoning? Read my feature story for details on this breaking news:
http://www.naturalnews.com/030952_CDC_fluoride.html
Also on the fluoride front, Citizen Journalist Anthony Gucciardi reveals the truly disturbing truth about the toxicity of fluoride:

Check it out: Join our new "No Fluoride" Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/no.fluoride
P.S. Several people have told me they're working on their "personal health transformation videos" to upload to our new contest at Naturalnews.TV. But so far, nobody has entered a video! And that means the $1800 in prizes are there for the taking. YOU could win by uploading a video that talks about how natural health helped you improve your own health!

Power line blamed for bird kill in Louisiana
--------------------------------------------
Louisiana's state wildlife veterinarian says at least some of an
estimated 450 birds that died near Baton Rouge may have flown into a
power line.
Jim LaCour said Tuesday [4 Jan 2011] the grackles, starlings,
brown-headed cowbirds and red-winged blackbirds had broken beaks and
backs. He says some live birds had broken wings but ran too fast to catch.
The bird deaths Monday came a few days after about 3000 blackbirds
fell from the sky in central Arkansas. Scientists there say
celebratory fireworks on New Year's Eve likely sent the birds into
such a tizzy that they crashed into homes, cars and each other before
plummeting to their deaths. Officials say such massive wildlife kills
are not uncommon.

Remembering The Ocean Ranger
Ocean Ranger was the worlds largest semi-submersible mobile offshore drilling unit that sank in Canadian waters on 15 February 1982. It was drilling an exploration well in the Grand Banks area, 267 kilometres (166 mi) east of St. John's, Newfoundland, for Mobil Oil of Canada, Ltd. (MOCAN) with 84 crew members on board when it sank. There were no survivors of the accident.
The vessel was approved for 'unrestricted ocean operations' and designed to withstand extremely harsh conditions at sea, including 100-knot (190 km/h) winds and 110-foot (34 m) waves. Prior to moving to the Grand Banks area in November 1980, it had operated off the coasts of Alaska, New Jersey and Ireland. The joint Federal-Provincial Royal Commission on the Ocean Ranger Marine Disaster found that the crew were not trained, the safety equipment was inadequate, there were no safety protocols for the supply ship, and that the rig itself had a number of design flaws
