THE VOICE OF THE DURANGO HERALD
ON NOVEMBER 19, 2002
Dear Jennifer,
Oh, how weary I become when reading articles about the non-debate over chemtrails or, more correctly, aerosol emissions. I am not a rocket scientist but I am smart enough to draw conclusions from ground based observations without the use of instrumentation. In order for contrail ice crystals to form, a nucleus of some solid material is needed. Over the ocean, salt crystals are present pretty high up and so vapor trails can form and persist for a long time there. However, when the atmospheric conditions between 20 to 40 thousand feet over the arid southwest do not vary widely, why is it that contrail formation does? Today, there were a few contrails to the southwest of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Five or six parallel lines at the level of the setting sun with two new short contrails being created from two jets fling a divergent pattern so that it appeared as a “V” intersecting the parallel lines. That these contrails were in a limited space in the sky and the fact that no other aircraft, and there was plenty of it, were emitting any trails whatsoever is indeed puzzling or should be. Often these jets leave just a thick wisp of a trail or they leave a long line of dashed trails across the whole sky. Are they turning their engines off and on? And so frequently? And why the “X’s” which have been observed and documented all over the country (and there are thousands of photos on the web of these patterns)? FAA law does not allow commercial aircraft to cross flight paths so close and so quickly. These jets are therefore under military control. And what about the prismatic colors often observed in the resultant aerosol haze illuminated by sunlight. If the haze was primarily water vapor, carbon monoxide and negligible amounts of hydrocarbons, the prismatic colors would essentially be that of a rainbow. But, instead it is either magenta and green or broad bands of orange and yellow. All elements through which sunlight passes give a signature color which is totally unique to that element. Through spectroscopy a number of heavy metals have been shown to be ever present in our breathable atmosphere. All heavy metals, as you may know, cause the dementia symptoms associated with Alzheimer’s Syndrome. The now common haze which obscures distant landmarks is always with us in New Mexico where before one could view the distant mountains with great clarity. It could be explained if the humidity weren’t so low that my knuckles are always cracking from the dryness. The television news has explained it in three different ways and never with reference to their past explanations so they are relying on everyone’s rapidly diminishing short term memories. Aphasia is a symptom of Alzheimer’s. A Mongolian dust storm which looped over the arctic to settle with it’s resultant haze in the American southwest. Air pollution from Mexican factories hard at work after trade treaties and pacts were put into effect. Also, and my personal favorite because it is the most believable, air pollution from industrialized China. “Made in China” is hard to avoid when shopping for non food items. Those tireless Chinese children are doing a tremendous job providing us with oodles of a vast variety and of much esteemed cheap, plastic crap. Did you know that China is also where most of the worlds barium is mined? Allegedly, it is a very important component in the aerosol sprays. It absorbs eight times it’s weight in water and can do so below 60 degrees Fahrenheit which is about the temperature of the atmosphere where the jets fly. It is also a heavy metal and is easily ionized by the sun. Remember, that if an atom is ionized it is unstable and throws off sub atomic particles which is another way to say radiation. Not all radiation is harmful in small quantities but do you want to breathe barium in it’s ionized form? Barium also causes asthma, which has reached epidemic proportions in this country and also is a powerful immune suppressant. In the barium mines the workers all have what’s called baritosis, a special type of asthma, which surprisingly is worse on the weekend when they’re not in the mines working. It gets better when they return to work. Did you also realize that we have a flu season every year and that it can last over 8 to 9 months? The incidence of allergies have risen so much that pharmaceutical companies’ profits have tripled on their allergy medications and it can only be coincidence that those rise in profits also mirror the rise in aerosol operations which began in earnest in the fall of 1998.
If these trails were indeed normal water vapor and their persistence could be logically expected over the high deserts, why then do they appear one day when the upper atmosphere contains less humidity than days where they’re not present and the humidity is higher? Why are there breaks in the appearance of these trails in the late summer and early fall? For weeks we see none at all. Then it begins again and the sky is a tortured mess. The sky is never, ever dark blue anymore. It’s more like a silvery, powder blue. These are good questions. The meteorological experts don’t have to spend time on them because their single sentence denials and obfuscation are sufficient to put the matter to rest and those who insist on presenting the real facts can be easily dismissed as fanatics and conspiracists. How convenient the popularity of the one liner put-down proves to be for those in authority who wish to diminish any detractor. People are still in awe of the science professors who prostitute their degrees and positions to parrot the party line. So few feel they have the edumacation to challenge those with their fancy degrees.
If one were to ignore what is being fed to the masses and actually start watching with an open mind and the thirst for real knowledge, one would probably arrive at similar conclusions. In fact there are millions of people throughout America – and I include Central and South – who have reached a similar conclusion. If it were not for the Internet we would all be truly isolated in our knowledge. As we watched George Bush ascend to his throne, the media insisted that most Americans were in favor of him and his policies. I know that not to be the truth, but since the major media have become the public relations arm of the military -industrial complex all facts are irrelevant and truth is false and up is down and etc, ad infinitum, ad nauseum, as long as it serves their appetites for their ever growing wealth, power and control.
Please do not hand this over to the Homeland Security folks. I am but a simple man who works with very old people to brighten their lives a little. My job holds meaning for me, my life has purpose and I wish we could all breathe better. If more of us feel a little less hopeless, helpless and a little more brave we could put an end to the present tyranny.
One of the saddest things in all that is happening now is that we have forgotten that we will all be held responsible to a much higher authority for our lack of action. Fear was never a good excuse to do nothing.
