The annual Earth Day celebration has come again, how much additional damage has been inflicted to our environment in the last year? How much longer can the wholesale plunder of our planet continue before the consequences become total? Our soils, water and air are all toxic to various degrees, and the pace of contamination continues to escalate. What will it take to expose the climate engineering component in the planetary contamination equation. Weather catastrophes also continue to accelerate rapidly. Again, climate engineering operations are inarguably connected. Can the current course of the human race be altered in time to avoid total near term extinction? The latest installment of Global Alert News is below.
Many in first world nations are metaphorically whistling through the graveyard and ignoring the wider horizon. This equation must change. If the full focus of populations is not very soon concentrated on the fight to save our collapsing planet, our time here will soon be over. Rapidly unfolding events and related headline reports will help to wake ever larger segments of society. Our collective efforts can yet make a difference if we do not yield to the gathering storm. Share credible data from a credible source, make your voice heard, make every day count.

It is encouraging to see the younger generation waking up to the critical climate engineering issue at the International Honeybee Festival in Palisade, Colorado, on April 13th, 2019.
This week's GeoengineeringWatch.org outreach booth is at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds, Santa Rosa, California, and is shown below. My most sincere and continuing gratitude to the Gem Faire exhibition organizers for facilitating and setting up this very effective booth in every week's Gem Faire location. The schedule for upcoming Gem Faire events is HERE. A geoengineeringwatch.org booth will be at all events, thanks to the steadfast support of Gem Faire.
We had massive spraying all over the S.F. Bay Area today. A lot of people are sick and the concerts of the San Francisco Renaissance Voices were all canceled due to so much illness and inability to sing, due to the heavy spraying. We have people who are suffering from "allergies," and "flu-like illness," when it's really toxic heavy metal poisoning and the irritation from the scratchy nanoparticulate metals we're all being forced to breathe.
The measles outbreak got a lot of air time today on NPR and local public radio news. UCLA canceled classes. The way the mainstream media is spinning this short-term low-mortality viral infection, you'd think it was a hemorrhagic fever like ebola: https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-measles-quarantine-california-university-20190426-story.html This is the first time in my life that I've heard of a major university shutting down due to…. a simple outbreak of…. measles… We had measles parties when I was in grade school, most kids got exposed, stayed home for a few days and were back in school the following week. Never heard of measles attacking college-aged kids– you're supposed to be exposed to this when you're something like 5 to 11 years old. The measles is problematic when you have a case after puberty, so you're supposed to get exposed and get it over with before then. NO ONE died of measles at my elementary school or in any of the other schools in our county. Death by measles was virtually Z-E-R-O, we never heard of kids dying in droves from measles, for God's sake! But the mainstream media's taking their cues from Big Pharma and blowing it all out of proportion to scare people into getting vaccinated with the virus, which actually causes the measles. My neighbor, who grew up in Germany, developed a case of polio just a few days after she was given the polio vaccine by Americans in the 1950s…..
Thanks D e n n I e, I have been singing/playing my whole life. Having swollen but not itchy eyes, I started to believe that it was allergies causing me to have a deep productive cough after every singing event. Nope. What you posted rings true. Horseman too. We are all much more alike than we are different. I guess the rest of my days on the planet will be lived with a broken heart. I cannot separate myself from the destruction of nature.Thanks to all you – who know and speak and teach and heal. Your good nature keeps some of us going. D e n n I e -I got the filter you suggested 2 years ago. Works great. Thanks a million.
This complete lie about vaccines is nothing but a money grab by Big Pharma. The industry is counting on people's ignorance, and while there is still a lot of ignorance, more people are waking up to the manipulations, thankfully. I had measles, mumps, and chicken pox all in the first grade with no problem — and NO vaccines — and now have lifetime immunity. Vaccines are not necessary and never have been — they are filled with toxins and carcinogens, and if everyone would refuse to take these poisons, we could put this corrupt industry out of business, which is what they deserve.
The trees are leaning more and more and their leafing is slow. Shrubs are shriveled. Where is the EPA? Are they another dead government watchdog department? When trees start falling on everything including power lines, are we going to be told it' too much rain? Whatever we are told by the "experts", it will be lies and deceit. The trees are telling me what I need to know. This will cause chaos and destruction around the world. Maybe then people will wake up, but will they believe the lies and deceit they're spoon fed? I see deforestation, depopulation and starvation. I wrote to my senator weeks ago, but no response yet. I'll give it 2 more weeks only.
Brenda, about that letter to your Senator… Don't hold your breath.

LA Times had a story about Geoengineering this morning. Same baloney about proposals, concepts, experiments. Even a comment from our good buddy Caldeira.
Watched light SRM activity from my front yard here in Orange County, CA Thursday evening at approx 7:30 PM. Material sprayed from aircraft turned light PINK color just before sunset, dead giveaway to aerosol/ particulate composition. NOT water vapor.

Dane and ALL, please permit me to rant for a bit, I chose this neck of the woods I ended up in when it was out in the middle of nowhere. There were no fighter jets over head on a daily basis like it is these days, "except Sunday's". That seems to be the pattern so far. I'm soooo damn tired of those fighter jets flying down my valley and being SOOOOO LOUD!!! People stop and think a minute when they watch me give them the two bird solute as they fly by 300 feet above our heads. I've seen them even lower as they fly below my cabin following the valley. I'm only 300 feet above the valley, you do the math. Regulations say they are aloud no lower than 500 feet. Even then it wreaks havoc on the life that is sensitive to it. Like me, my dog and my Mustangs. We all get our guard hairs up when we get buzzed by those flying sports cars with weapons. Today was the first time I have witnessed a perfect tic tac toe pattern in the sky over my immediate region. Interesting that it coincides with several "prescribed burns" currently taking place in my area. That tic tac toe pattern wasn't exactly "high in the sky". Already the wild fire count board on the edge of town is at "14!!".That's only for Okanogan County. "Holy smokes", pun intended. "There never has been historically any fires in April". None to write home about anyway. When I got up this morning, I was greeted with a valley full of smoke. I could hardly see 3 to 5 miles away but the smoke in the valley was much more dense. Then came the morning breezes, blowing north to south, which gave me a front row seat to the assault above today's sky. I wonder what the "results" were from todays "experiment?" I've spent most of my life living on the "right side"(wink), east side of the cascades. I've never seen a dryer spring. I've never seen so many sick trees in concentration and no bias as to the assault on our trees. Rapidly no species is exempt from the affects of the Geo engineering assault. I notice that species of trees that flourish along creeks beds are not doing so well. So that eliminates the drought factor per say. It also eliminates beaver habitat. "All" ranchers owe their lands fertility to a beaver. Sad that most don't "get it". Interesting that beaver pelts were worth a lot when the power structure was taking over "the west". Now days they're worth about 50 cents an hour for your time and trapped out as a "nuisance" critter that makes bog lands… that turn into very fertile ranch lands. If I had the pleasure of sharing a camp fire with you, I have a great true story for you about a man that bucked the system of ranching and won out big time on his ranch. Back in 1953. Anyway, enough of my rant. I'm worried for what is to come to this part of north america, wild fires. Sometimes I roll up my driveway and wonder what it will look like after a fire comes through. With all the city type folks moving in up here, I'll be on my guard every day. I've seen some pretty dumb ass things that could have cost a lot of damage. Each year the forest becomes more volatile, combustible. Each year the masses become more entwined in the false matrix of perceptions. Anyone remember the slogan, "it's not nice to fool with mother nature". Ironic what the slogan was selling. "Things that shouldn't be"…..
Heavy dispersion over Portland, Oregon today, now we all get to suck in this poison. The lunacy of it all is in plain sight but the masses are asleep or unwilling to acknowledge what's happening, I'm treated as a leper when people I know, family included, deny,deny,deny. I will not be silenced and I don't understand the apathy. Why do some turn away and some prefer to fight? So many with coughs and general malaise. My neighbor got a flu shot and got a severe flu, his response to me was " It could have been a lot worse but I had a flu shot". My sister contracted pneumoia after receiving two pneumonia vaccinations. As Dane always says, CONNECT THE DOTS. Thanks to Dane and company for all you do.
Robert, thank you for your contribution. I copied and pasted it in an email to my mom and my brother which both live in Portland. Both fall under the category of "deny, deny, deny". As per usual, I will get no reply what so ever. I do not understand their apathy at all. My mother and brother have more than a genius IQ. Go figure. (Thank you Lord for 'my' groundedness). I have several friends around the valley that got a "flu shot" and then contracted what ever was in the mix injected into them, just like your folks did. I've gathered a great distrust for anyone carrying a needle. It's not just for hard drugs anymore. Needles are all about control and calculated death. Just sayin…..
Stockholm syndrome
Nawabshah Pakistan is forecast to have high temperatures of 110 or higher for the next 9 days starting April 25 according to Foreca.
I'm a very skeptical person.
A lot is needed for me to suspend my doubts.
I came to the geoengineering issues quite late comparing to other individuals, but i looked at the credible data from credible sources,
and in conjunction with that, i made my own observations, using my sens of reason, my logic, and what i can remember from my 44 years of living under the sky, here in northern France.
Strange behaviors from planes, the trails, irregular routines, low altitude flying with or without spraying (an article from a local newspaper said we are under a corridor but the jets fly so high we should barely see or hear them…), and all the other classical signs , and more.
Strange climate patterns and cloud patterns, no clear skies anymore, etc, etc, also, it seems, fallout after heavy spraying and few wind.
9/11 : the day several robust laws of physics, and architecture, have been violated, the same day that unprecedented and highly improbable things have taken place, if one believes the official story…
geoengineering : it hasn't been deployed yet, it's condensation, something change in the atmosphere because of climate change, blablabla…
They are spraying.
When you don't know something is technologically possible, it will seem natural (or magic..). And it's only one bias plaguing the mind of our fellow human beings, constantly staring down at glowing screens lately.
For the moment, very few around me are ready to only begin to consider it seriously when i point out there's something the matter. .
Eternal gratitude to the honorable mister Wigington for carrying on trying to wake people up.

"First, do no harm" no longer applies with the medical/pharmaceutical industry, since laws are being passed for forced vaccinations. We are being hit from all sides in a war against the people. (See Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. speaking about vaccines, as well as Del Bigtree of The Highwire. Both of these men have based their research on scientific facts, not to mention the thousands of vaccine injured children).
As with the aerosols, this stuff will be everywhere, and we’ll all be swimming in it. If the mind-altering possibilities are as severe as reported, it might even be worse.
The destructive effects of all this stuff are well known. It’s not an accident.
There is a very dark agenda assaulting our biological integrity, and operating on numerous fronts.
CDC (the largest purchaser of vaccines) recommends that 36 vaccines be administered to children by the time they are 5 years of age in order to be admitted to school. Enforcing mandatory vaccinations against the wishes of their parents or guardians is a direct violation of 7 of 10 tenets of the Nuremberg Code (not to mention being a violation of the Hippocratic Oath).
If I were given an audience to speak with America's legislators, I would say, "You support the protecting of America's children, right? How would you like to be injected with 36 vaccines in order to keep your job? Do you have children or grandchildren and have they had their shots? What is the state of their health?"

Dane,
Will you please provide a link to the article about the micro plastics? There are so many in recent years, and I can't find the particular one with the "Look up" quote. I have several samples of polymer fibers that rained down in Colorado last fall and videos showing them in the air around the Stratospheric Aerosol Injections in the days leading up to finding them on the ground, but don't know what to do with the samples. I also have snow melt saved from 3 seperate storms here in Colorado this winter. I recently took a snowball out of the freezer that I had saved from a Feb. manufactured winter storm and held a lighter to it. The flame burnt and left char marks on the surface of the ice, and there was a distinct plastic/petro smell.
Thank you again and again for all of your efforts to sound the alarm.
Peace and Blue Skies,
Kelly
Hello, Kelly, I have attached an example link on the micro plastics, there are dozens more that can be found with an online search of the subject. FYI https://www.motherjones.com/environment/2019/04/a-shocking-discovery-shows-just-how-far-wind-can-carry-microplastics/
UNION OF CONCERNED SCIENTISTS
UCS Position on Solar GeoengineeringFebruary 2019

We are all tired of all the environmental groups lying to us. Geoengineering is in the news alot these days.
1.The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) strongly opposes any deployment of solar geoengineering b ecause solar geoengineering technologies pose significant environmental, ethical and geopolitical risks, challenges and uncertainties.
Dane, there is some very good news on Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDA's). This is what a British Court recently ruled concerning NDAs.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/0/non-disclosure-agreements-everything-need-know-ndas-misuse/?WT.mc_id=e_DM995692&WT.tsrc=email&etype=Edi_FAM_New_ES&utm_source=email&utm_medium=Edi_FAM_New_ES_2019_04_23&utm_campaign=DM995692
This ruling might also help Wikileaks Co-Founder Julian Assange, Chelsea Manning, Edward Snowden, and even encourage weathermen to speak out about how they are told what to say and what NOT to say. In other words, reading from a script may be just one option among many others. This also applies to politicians. I think this will become very big. And I thought you should know. There is a lot to read, so have fun.
VSF: The Barents Observer is an excellent resource to learn what is actually occurring in the Arctic, especially the Russian Arctic. In a related story to the microplastics in fish (below), the Barents Observer reports that Moscow is sending their ‘garbage’ including hospital and military waste to a remote area in the Arctic. "Thousands protested in Arkhangelsk on 7th April. String of arrests follows rallies in Arkhangelsk. Police makes series of detentions and issues major fines in bid to stagger growing protests against the building of a major garbage dump in the south of the region. The dump will reportedly handle about 6 percent of the total volume of household waste produced in Moscow. And it is made for operations in a 20-years time span. It is located in a remote forested area near the border between the regions of Arkhangelsk and Komi. Environmentalists say they facility could inflict serious damage to nature and contaminate the vulnerable wetlands in the area."

Motivated by trash
“What motivated us to investigate microplastics in Greenland is that we saw plenty of plastic debris when we went there in previous years to study arctic fish communities,” says professor Jørgen Schou Christiansen from UiT.
Christiansen and colleagues have travelled regularly to Northeast Greenland since 2002 in connection with the TUNU Programme, a broad research effort to learn more about fishes and other marine fauna in the Arctic. Northeast Greenland has barely been studied, so the TUNU expeditions provide important baseline data.
The researchers sampled water to study microplastics in the water column. They also wanted to see if fish ingested microplastics. The researchers picked out fish species with two different feeding strategies: the polar cod (Boreogadus saida) which feeds in open water or in areas where there is sea ice, and the bigeye sculpin (Triglops nybelini) which feeds on or near the bottom of the ocean. The polar cod is associated with sea ice that also stores a lot of microplastics, so the species could be particularly exposed to microplastics pollution. Christiansen and his colleagues found plastic debris in their water samples at a concentration of 2.4 items/m3 ±0.8 SD, which is higher than in most seas at lower latitudes.
Both fish species had in fact eaten microplastics. The researchers found that 34% of the bigeye sculpins contained microplastics, while 18% of the polar cod contained microplastics.

I guess I can really be depressed that only seventeen people showed up to our sixth Global Geoengineering Demonstration, or I can appreciate the only clear sunny day in the year, or the most AWAKE and DEDICATED TO AWAKENING people in my vicinity!
The thing about the Sri Lankan bombings is that Israel has been training Sri Lanka's emergency teams for 'mega-terror attacks'. The program, a joint effort of the American Jewish Committee and United Hatzalah, began in December 2018 and continued into January.
As usual, Israel has the most amazing timing.
Andrew: Given the con job that is 9/11, it should not be surprising there might well be a Mossad role in these ruthless horrific crimes against innocent people. These are psychopaths who insist on marrying the world to Israel’s “pain.” The Sri Lankan Government has stated this slaughter was planned and executed by an “international terrorist network.”
From 2009 and very enlightening: http://www.effedieffe.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=61777&fbclid=IwAR2NsbLwBIhD5FL2hlj_eQSyFmJmFA3OEmIl_Ua3UwXKtudInWrY2yG3g1w
The analysis of the Mossad-driven Sri Lankan terror even is as comprehensive as it gets. It's so typical. Reminds me much of the Hebrew slave ship owners profiteering by human suffering and injustice, as well as the conquering of Armenia by the Young Turks, who were neither young nor Turkish but in fact rather elder Zionist Jews in disguise, in an effort to control the trade in the area at a time in the modern era when the Industrial Revolution would need so much oil and Jews could make a killing (Rothschilde banks for oil money). Divide and conquer is indeed a specialty of these "royal" Purple spirits. They believe they are the "rightful" Kings of the Earth and that "god" has given them the "right" to bully everyone who isn't them into submission under their royal purple thumbs.
I am reporting once again from Thuringia in Germany.
The weather is crazy these days. At the beginning of April they sprayed like hell. The whole sky had turned white for days. Then they tried to cool down by massive additional spraying. They managed to create a strange kind of snowflake while the temperatures were between 5°C and 8°C, just around freezing at night, which helped me to point out to a few other people that something strange had happened. After 3 cooling days it got really hot the next days until today. The temperatures rose by 20°C in 24 hours depending on the region. Now we have a weather which is usual in early summer. But it is extremely dry. Seems as if we get the next heavy spring drought, while Iran is flooded. The April wild fires that occurred in the last week are included, I mean "April wild fires"? here, at this time really? We lost a lot of trees last year. The drought made the trees weak and now they are under parasite infestation. Less the economic point, but the forests die if this drought continues.
so I observed the jetstream anomaly and also realized that we have even more of these strange circles on the rain radar maps here than usual. The whole country is now covered with these radio broadcasts. They are on and pulsing all the time. It looks like rain on this map, but if you look out the window, there is not a single cloud. The sky seems clear, of course, but if you take a closer look, you can see that there is a thick layer of blurry dust/smog when you stand on a hill and watch the wide horizon.
On the positive side, the insect population in my garden seems to be better than in most parts of the country. The hornets and bees occupied the nests I put at their disposal. And also the birds started to breed. It is so sad that all these wonderful creatures have to suffer from our human ignorance when it comes to the beauty of nature.
Well, to some things in my head that have struck me over the last few weeks.
Since the Germans are gratefully subjected to the elites for genetic reasons, they are now begging for their next stage of enslavement. I think some people have noticed that the Thunberg campaign attracts youth, but it's just a big con. As more and more people get to know the air travel escapades of Green Party member and head of the German Thunberg campaign Luise Neubauer, it becomes even clearer that it is not about climate protection, but about the introduction of a CO2 tax that benefits the opulent and costs the poor.
I found this: http://www.theartofannihilation.com/the-manufacturing-of-greta-thunberg-a-decade-of-social-manipulation-for-the-corporate-capture-of-nature-crescendo/
i would say this is a good analysis of what the elites are planning and how they are trying to control the confusion they have caused. There are some documents of the Bundestag's scientific advisory board that show that they are also informed about the topic of climate change and geoengineering. The report is written as if they are talking about future plans, but read between the lines and you should be able to link the points.

Translation page 15:
Evaluation of geoengineering
The term geoengineering describes an attempt to specifically influence the climate system in order to reduce future global warming. These are large-scale interventions in a complex system whose side effects are inadequately understood. Two basic methods of geoengineering can be distinguished: the manipulation of the global radiation budget (Solar Radiation Management – SRM), which directly influences the incoming solar radiation, and the reduction of the carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere (Carbon Dioxide Removal – CDR). Both methods are described in detail in the literature (e.g.
B. The Royal Society, 2009; UBA, 2011; Rickels et al., 2011). Climate calculations using Earth system models have shown that most of the methods currently under discussion have little effect on global warming (<
8
%) and are usually associated with serious side effects on the climate system and ecosystems (Keller et al., 2014). SRM would be the only method to effectively reduce global warming; however, the cooling of the atmosphere thus achieved would be associated with extensive side effects and uncertainties. On the one hand, SRM would present global intergovernmental cooperation with unprecedented challenges, since SRM measures could be used by individual states for their own purposes, but would at the same time have global impacts. Furthermore, a temporary suspension of geoengineering by SRM would catapult the earth's surface temperatures back to their "normal state" without the intervention. The consequence would be rapid climate change within a few years (Keller et al., 2014) with unforeseeable consequences for people and societies. Last but not least, the application of SRM would have a considerable influence on systems of all sizes, for example on the
Monsoon circulation, local weather patterns, ocean circulation and the ozone layer. From WBGU's point of view, the risks of using SRMs to combat climate change are disproportionate to their potential benefits. WBGU therefore rejects the use of SRMs. In contrast to SRM, CDR could also address the problem of ocean acidification, and sudden changes in surface temperatures, such as in the event of a stop in the use of SRM, would be largely ruled out. What many CDR techniques have in common is that they are extremely area-intensive and sometimes have considerable side effects on the bio- and geosphere. > Ocean alkalinization: By accelerating the natural chemical weathering of rocks, CO2 could theoretically be bound more quickly from the atmosphere and released into the oceans. Accelerated carbon sequestration can be achieved by crushing and grinding, for example, olivines (limestone and silicate rocks) (Köhler et al., 2010). The conditions for this are similar to those of modern mining, the processes would be extremely energy-intensive and require an extensive infrastructure and considerable amounts of rock (3 billion tonnes of olivine would be able to produce only 9
% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions, Köhler et al., 2010). The crushed rock would have to be introduced over large areas into the oceans in order to reach the deep water there. Both on land and in the ocean, this method is highly invasive and many side effects cannot yet be assessed (e.g. the ecosystemic consequences of an alkalinisation of the oceans). WBGU advises against this technology.
> Manipulation of marine biomass production: The reinforcement of marine carbon sinks by increased biomass growth in nutrient-limited ocean regions could be achieved by fertilization with micro- (z.
B. iron, iron fertilization) and macronutrients (e.g.
e.g. nitrogen, phosphorus). The sinking of biomass into deeper ocean layers could lead to a long-term storage of the bound carbon. However, the effectiveness of this method depends on a number of physical and biological factors (e.g.
B. deep water formation or premature re-emission of the stored carbon into the atmosphere by bacterial decomposition of the biomass). The results from model studies and local experiments are sometimes contradictory and not robust enough to quantify the effectiveness of large scale ocean fertilisation (e.g.
B. Jin et al., 2007; CBD, 2009; Smetacek et al., 2012). In view of the partly unexplored potential side effects of ocean fertilization on marine ecosystems, WBGU also rejects this geoengineering procedure. > Large-scale afforestation: Because of the limited areas under cultivation and the competition between the production of food, timber and bioenergy and the preservation of biological diversity, natural ecosystems and ecosystem services, large-scale afforestation would only make sense in areas that have not yet been used and for which no valuable natural ecosystems would have to be converted. Some studies, for example, deal with the vision of a greening of semi-deserts and deserts by means of artificial irrigation with desalinated seawater (e.g.
B. Sahara, Australian Outback; Ornstein et al., 2009; Keller et al., 2014). Simulations with Earth system models show that large-scale afforestation of these areas reduces the CO2 content of the air a little, but the temperature is not reduced, but even increases slightly. The main reason for this is the lower reflectivity of forests compared to deserts and thus the increased absorption of solar radiation (Keller et al., 2014). A further serious disadvantage is the immense cost of irrigating these desert areas and the consequences in the event of a failure of irrigation. The influences of the destruction of desert ecosystems and the probably strong reduction of the Sahara dust transport and the associated fertilization of the Atlantic and the rainforest in the Amazon region have not been investigated so far. Due to the high costs, the negative impact on air temperature and the as yet unexplored effects on ecosystems, this method does not appear to make sense at present. > CO2 binding from the air by chemical sequestration: The direct binding of CO2 from the air could theoretically also be achieved by chemical sequestration (Direct Air Capture – DAC). So far, however, the testing of this technology has been limited to a few areas, and the scaling of DAC to dimensions that would have a significant influence on atmospheric CO2 concentrations is not feasible with today's technology and is very energy-intensive. However, research and development work could significantly reduce energy and cost requirements (Lackner et al., 2012).

The truth can no longer remain hidden, as Dane has been saying for so long. Even here in Germany. The only solution for the future is to overcome the current social and economic model in which we are trapped. The rule of the opulent few over the poor masses can no longer prevail, we must stop it to help the earth save and preserve lives instead of killing the planet.
Anyway, these reports of the scientific advisory board of the Bundestag in the German-speaking area are a help to reach the people. Because then I can refer to Dane's page without being considered "crazy", where you will find the many patents, further links and data on this topic. We are working against time, but for everyone else we can open their eyes, this is an important step in the right direction.
Perhaps something to think about, but also something to laugh about: FUTURAMA – S04E08 – Crime of the Hot
Take a good look at this episode! It covers all aspects of what geo-engineering is, why and how to solve global warming with it from the perspective of the powerful, who or what should be "sacrificed" to stop global warming? I haven't seen television in over 15 years, but a dose of Futurama must be there from time to time. only In english, of course.
Greetings to all activists here, thanks to Dane as always with his hints and news.
David
@ David Bach in Thuringia: Almost exactly the same could be said about the spraying and the weird temp swings here in Northern California. Today was H-O-T. It's watering season in Northern California once again. Loads of insects from all the rain. Should be a banner year for rodents of every stripe. I can't wait until summer when it gets really hot…..
Dane and ALL my friends I haven't met yet, (been a while since I wrote those words).
Dane, this weeks broadcast was very well done. I appreciate your accuracy in point. Anymore it seems like there are more dots to connect than people to connect them! Sheesh, I get worn out just thinking about it! Seriously though, you are the grounding beacon of our world. 'Simply' by just inspiring others to follow your/our foot steps.
I'd like to touch on the topic of wild fires this evening. Yesterday I took myself and my faithful dog for a drive up into "the burn area". The remnants of the 2015 Okanogan complex fire. It stopped just a mile up the hill from me. I drove up to the snow line so to say. If I had a more aggressive 4×4 I may have gone further, but I don't. My little old 4×4 ranger putts along just fine. It was the second time I have visited the area since the fire. It is always good to observe what the snow melt leaves behind. I was scouting just what I would run into when I go up there on horse back and get deeper in depth, more than just driving down a road. Tell ya this much, "the land I once knew will never be the same again". Trees don't rebound like they used to. Neither does the forest floor and the soil beneath it. I finished the fire proofing project for my neighbor. Looks a lot better with a view and all, but I look at all those stumps, big and small, they all had a life. I studied a lot of video and I'm convinced that getting the "wild fire" out of the tree tops and down on the ground is key to fire proofing a home or barn or what ever. I spent 19 years mildly grooming this place. I'm ready for "the fire" this year. Only one aspect concerns me about any potential wild fire coming through, "the wind". Let that sink in for a moment. The winds of 2015 during the fire were unprecedented. That fire went exactly where it was intended to go. Uphill, down hill, didn't matter. And as per usual, a multi layered agenda. I watched log truck after log truck for months on end, loaded to scale with what would have lived if they didn't get cut it down, trees. Some of the diameters of logs on those trucks were a serious slap in the face for anyone that can add two plus two. They took 3 of my most favorite trees just a half mile from here. The fire didn't even get close. But let me tell ya, I wouldn't mind being the one that got to mill up that old growth timber, "if they had to go". Myself, I liked them just the way they were, tall, large and grand. So many trees that would have lived were murdered via back door legislation. That really makes me want to fight back even more. Mark my words, somewhere along the line this year, we're going to hear about "unmanaged lands". "That's why why they burned so bad". I call bullshit. Give me my rains of historical past and I'll be happy growing my trees. Well guess what, "the rains didn't come". And every time it did rain, the winds the next day took it all away. "Strange days indeed". The older larch fir here are coning out in unprecedented form. This is not good. It means that the aerosols have filtered down to tap root level. "The tree is shutting down", casting its seed. Doing what it is supposed to do. "Question", how many of those bazillions of seeds will stand a chance in the climate they have been cast into?" I've seen an unbelievable amount of dead seedlings over the past 5 years in my region.
Anyway, enough of that ramble. "Parallels in nature". Been a while since I wrote about them. Some of you may know I have been trimming my mare down to a respectable weight so we, I, can ride this spring summer and fall. I can not express enough how a critter can memorize a path, a terrain, a direction. The later being the most impressioned, "direction". They remember everything. It will be interesting riding through the burn for the first time. My Mustangs know the area well. There was a day when my neighbor would come over in the morning and ask, "how's your back feeling?" I'd look a little closer over his shoulder and see his trailer was already to be hooked up and then I'd reply, "oh, my back is hurting me real bad today, when we leaving?" The usual reply was, "5 minutes". After enough times through that, I became ready in "4" minutes. The more our back hurt the more we were prone to being the man from snowy river. Often in reverse, we went "up" the hill(s). There's nothing like riding the high cascades. Trails are for followers, we rode in a 'direction'. Trails are boring, direction will keep you on your toes. And remember, always tread lightly. "Parallels in nature".
Love and strength to ALL, 'a' simple horseman
Today is world Earth day and here is our contribution toward awareness.
Many will take to the streets and protest against anthropogenic decimation of this planet, condemning industry and the lack of action on behalf of our politicians. A climate emergency has been declared in many circles yet climate engineering goes unmentioned. Despite mounting evidence of the already deployed global climate engineering assault for over 70 years, we have a myriad of denialism and ignorance that is concealing from the masses ultimately what is the most catastrophic endeavour by mankind. In response to a lack of action and mockery of relevant agencies, and the mass censoring of our ability to relay information we also have taken to the streets to tell the world that their skies are being sprayed and the whole biosphere is being decimated by what amounts to complete omnicide.
My most sincere thanks to all those that have contributed to this effort,
Sezer.

According to archived news reports, Senator/Dr. Richard Pan received about $95,000 in donations from Big Pharma iin exchange for his support and authorship of SB 277. I wouldn't be surprised if Big Pharma has put a similar amount of money in his pocket to push SB 276 into law in California. A public hearing and rally on SB 276 is scheduled tor this Wed at 1:30pm in Sacramento in the John L. Burton Hearing Room #4203. I am located in the SF Bay Area and am looking to fit this hearing into my schedule this week.

Anti-vaccine families crowd California Capitol to protest bill restricting exemptions
BY HANNAH WILEY | Sacramento Bee

https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article229590264.html
Hundreds of vaccine-skeptical families crammed into the Capitol on Wednesday afternoon where they battled a bill that would give the state authority over whether children receive medical exemptions for mandatory vaccines.
Sorry if this is double post. I think the Earth will rapidly heal even if it kills most of us in the process and regenerate if we stop the spraying, microwaves, cutting, pollution.
We've got Global Alert News is aired on WAMF in New Orleans, LA (http://wamf.org/), KABF in Little Rock, AR (http://www.kabf.org/) and Acorn International Radio (http://acornradio.org/). Please support and thank these stations if you can specifically for Global Alert News (Geoengineering Watch). Please post here if you donate so we do not overpay ($250 a month). This is a large listening audience. I, like many others, have put my savings safety net income into this because there is no future if we don't awaken the masses. I have no financial interest in these nonprofit community radio stations.
No luck, yet, with radio stations in ATL. I sent thanks to your stations.
Did I forget the link about the Siberian wildfires? When I post a comment is disappears into the ozone for awhile.
http://axisoflogic.com/artman/publish/Article_84202.shtml
Very few hotspots showing up on worldview near Baikal. But do look at the impressive fires and smoke south/southeast of Moscow…well actually, it is now pretty much everywhere south of Moscow!
Ah, there they are – now showing up on Worldview near Lake Baikal on 25th. The fires from the original report were, according to local papers: 2 spread across from China and the rest started by various means…electrical cables, refuse dumps, etc…sounds familiar.
Wildfires/hotspots now well north of Moscow.
April 21st and the headline is 'Hundreds Lose Homes as HUGE wildfires Ravage Trans-Baikal'. That is the Siberian steppes, and there aren't even any leaves on the trees yet. There might even be snow on the ground, but it was hard to tell from the photos.
I'm wondering whether the presence of atmospheric methane is directly influencing these fires. Anyway, wildfires in April in Siberia certainly is a bad omen.
I will post this. Maybe it would help if we started promoting mental awareness. What I mean is…I have started telling people when they say something negative about environmentalists or sometimes I just say it when it seems appropriate. "If it were not for the environmentalists, we all would have stopped breathing a long time ago. You're welcome." And I continue by saying that if environmentalists just sat down and clasped their hands we would have landfills all over our land, all water tables would be frack poisoned, etc. We were the brakes that kept that from happening. This is to change attitudes and outlooks and to steer everyone's consciousness to who/and their deeds is truly at fault. Something we need to bring about as well. Credibility is very important. It has always been used as a weapon against us. so go ahead pat your environmentalist self on the back unabashedly. People need to know who the white hats are.
I say to a friend that I used to harass every time they used a disposable plastic cup and this went through several stages…he stopped in his tracks one day when (he halfway apologies for using it) I said go ahead, it does not matter anymore. Looked at me quizzickly. It is that bad now, I said. I do not think he uses them anymore. I think he got the shock of his life.
In the context of these discussions, these thoughts on the philosophy of the phenomenon seem relevant –
Quietly whispering behind the contest between fools who tritely "have faith in mankind," and those equally foolish who resign our fate to the intransigence of human nature, is the basis for our existence as spirits in the flesh of human beings – that we are to learn the great art of harmony together in this cherished little theatre we call our physical world. But until mankind at large realises this as the keystone to all forces in the world – that we would finally awaken together to choose a more genuinely enlightened basis for a civilisation, or even perhaps simply less founded upon fear and unquenchable greed, we must continue to consider the following –
As for Pericles' Athens, our empire has met its match – the organic consequences of its own ego, with its most formidable enemy becoming itself. Empires have come and gone through the ages, with the instinct of life perennially budding amongst the rubble and ashes of lesser human ambitions, though onward toward each possibility that Socrates' words and the prophets' sublime implications might finally outmaster fear, greed and false pride. But now we face a different sort of enemy, the consequences of unmitigated self destructiveness – a biophysical chain reaction – only achievable through unarrested metastasis of trophoblastic materialism.
So it is become… as the ancient Athenians had harvested the succulent but unfruiting saplings of their newfound logic, but with the appetites of men now soon served a rotting garnish from a worldly crown downward, smug arrogance a fatal epidemic among its technocrats who have forgotten their legacies emblemised by Auschwitz, Fukushima and Bhopal, bloodlust and hopelessly convoluted vengeance persistently forgetting its many Wounded Knees, but shortly, in the absence of a resolute miracle somehow rescued from the incest of religious dogma or from the clutches of its barren sister, atheism itself… to be permanently vanquished in the rising shadow of its Malthusian limit.
Very soon, our choices of convenience and rationalised denial will exact their cost, a new kind of regret beyond the barnacles of juvenile indolence – a deeper tarnishment in the greater arena of culpable negligence, a generalisation of adultery placed on trial where consciousness is ultimately distilled from the body, and the eye of awareness of our deeds no longer has the luxury of an eyelid.
***
Is it not from the very spaces left by those fallen crowns from whence the awakening will once again find light among the dross, if only our extinction does not this time claim the day first? But do we, in such circumstances as now, prudently tarry for yet another debut of kings and pawns?

My 266th email, titled 'Climate Chaos within 21 months. Global 1.1C rise by midsummer 2020? / Notre Dame'
When will they lob 200 nukes down volcano cones to initiate the 2 year nuclear volcanic winter to refreeze the Arctic (and Antarctic)? This has nothing to do with a nuclear war, although that could be used as a distraction.
The ongoing intensive, toxic (and therefore extremely profitable for those companies whose business model relies on disease and ill health) geoengineering and atmospheric spraying has delayed the nuclear option by over 6 years. However, because it is a covert operation, the general public has carried on with 'business as usual' and nothing has been achieved to prevent climate catastrophe and our extinction.
Sam Carana has posted another update on the rapid global warming:
A long term 'exponential' trend line (1880 – 2019) shows a further 1.1C increase by 2025.
A shorter 'exponential' trend line (2000 – 2019) shows a further 1.1C increase by autumn 2020.
A linear trend line for the last 8 months shows a further 1.1C increase by midsummer 2020…(ok, we have had that before but not starting quite so late in the year, and it had peaked by now).
A 1.1C increase will cause major food shortages, the collapse of our so called 'civilisation', and an extinction level event for all life forms on earth.
'Scientists say that the Bering sea has reached climate conditions not expected until 2050'. We will read a lot more of these "earlier than expected" headlines this year.
The Notre Dame smoke detectors went off for 23 minutes before anyone acted. The fire department was called when the flames became visible.
Methane in the atmosphere is combustible when it reaches between 5% . Currently it is about .3%, but that will change quickly. Do we have to wait until the atmosphere ignites to become convinced that methane is a problem?
All that money being given to rebuild Notre Dame, but so little being given to combat poverty and global heating.

Andrew- I so appreciate your posts.
I went online tonight with intent to write and post the same sentiments you wrote (cut and pasted below) regarding the monies being given to Notre Dame's fire. I found it such a representation of exactly what humanity is today- all about self. I immediately thought of the wildfires in Ca and other parts of the world destroying lives not just buildings…
It was a "record" amount of "giving" in so little time- a billion dollars??? and all the art was convemiently saved ahead of schedule.
"All that money being given to rebuild Notre Dame, but so little being given to combat poverty and global heating."
Thanks sea. Many of the churches in Syria and the Levant that have been destroyed by US/UK/France/NATO backed terrorists were more than 1000 years older than Notre Dame, such as The Virgin Mary church (Umm Zunnar) in Homs which was built about 50AD then desecrated and destroyed from 2012.
For those who share this info and get discouraged because people don't seem to get it, please don't give up. I talk to anyone who'll listen, even if it's just a brief comment. The ongoing weather weirdness is a topic that often comes up and serves as a great opening. They might not carry on with the conversation topic the first time, (or second or third) or seem interested or even listen but consider that you're planting a seed.
Store cashiers are prime candidates especially at health food stores. There's two I gave flyers to who said they were interested. Next time, neither had gone to this site. The third time through one of them said, "How are you liking this weather?" I lightly said, "Oh, don't get me started on the weather, remember the flyer I gave you about climate engineering?" He still hadn't checked it out so I shared a bit more and the lady in line behind me joined in and agreed that the sky hasn't been truly blue for years. He got concerned and started asking more questions. I gave the website to the women in line and saw him writing it on his hand. That was progress. Small progress, but progress. Every little bit we do moves us forward and it's better than nothing. Even some people who once said,"Don't tell me, I don't want to know…" have become more receptive the more blatant it gets.
Thanks to everyone who cares, especially when/if you make an effort to inform and share. When you do, those of us who take action aren't so alone.
Stunning presentation Dane. Your last 10 minutes of remarks nailed it where the Sun don't shine in this world… Our brothers and sisters and nieces and nephews, have sold their souls to the Devil…
BRILLLANT SHOW-
War Is A Racket
By Major General Smedley Butler
WAR is a racket. It always has been.
It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.
A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small "inside" group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.
https://www.ratical.org/ratville/CAH/warisaracket.html
Smedley Butler wrote this book 84 years ago. And we STILL don't "get it" mostly because we teach our kids lies, LIES and MORE LIES, in history textbooks. I do not know how any of these teachers can peacefully sleep at night when they know they have to keep propagating lies, LIES and MORE LIES, just to keep their stupid damned job, stupefying and dumbing down ever more generations of people.
Here is the truth of what happened at Custer's Last Stand: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLkikhr1-aA The forensic scientists were able to exhume the bodies as they were buried right where they fell. Turns out the Indians, with their accurate oral traditions, have been telling the truth all along while the White Man writes down his prettified lies about the reality of this war, perpetuating his lies to his own children. SHAME–!!! WHERE IS THE HONOR?
They're yanking our chain in Anchorage, Alaska. First of all, it's way too hot historically, especially over the last few years. For the last few weeks we've had temperatures around 45F, and the ice has been gone for over a month. (The spring equinox a month ago saw the hottest temperatures ever in Alaska for March.) In 1982 there was still ice on the ponds (albeit unstable) in the middle of May.
Over the last week we've been 'treated' with 'rain mixed with snow' even with these temperatures in the mid- to high-40's F. Actually we've been blasted with nucleated snow, that turned to pouring rain, then turned back to nucleated snow. The snow would melt immediately. Just a half hour ago we had snowflakes at 51F! Soon it may rain. They sky has been made white, while the 'cloud cover' moved in from the east over the nearby mountains, a few miles away. A couple of hours ago it had been so-called sunny with pale blue skies.
The most important take away from this 'weather' is first of all, the moisture is coming in from south via the warmer Gulf of Alaska, and second, the weather script readers do not even bother to explain how there can be snow at nearly 50 degrees F. Unfortunately, neither is anyone asking. When I casually point it out, I'm glared at, apparently for interrupting the conversation.
All I say is something like, " How can it be snowing at 48 degrees?"
Another unseasonably warm evening in Buenos Aires. Last night it was way too hot for this date! I'm still waiting for the sound-only version of the youtube to download using VideoDownloadhelper. Other youtube videos I download come in at 250-600 KB/sec, while this one is downloading at 24 KB/sec. This has been the reality for Dane's alerts for several months now. Youtube must be "throttling" them.
If it were not for your weekly dose of earth and sky reality I would have kicked the bucket already… Just from the toxic brain dead deniers everywhere that work against nature and all life. It IS like an asylum must have been. Thanks for all you do and your pep talks for the geo engineering truth squad out here. Everyone have a peace filled week.
These weekly programs are greatly appreciated. Calling attention to what is unfolding has cost me many friends and family, as well as work. Truth remains a moral imperative, and it will win in the end. Those of you regularly comment here are also greatly appreciated. For many of us, this program is our only connection to sanity and other aware beings. Even in the midst of great health challenges caused by this tremendous crime against the Earth, I march forward and speak the words of my heart. Social engineering can be called a great success when the masses no can see what is front of their eyes. I would encourage everybody to fortify their strength by fully embracing the spiritual truth of reality as well. In the end, THIS is the Truth that endures.
Human extinction could occur as early as next year according to the latest post from Sam Carana of Arctic News.
VSF: For those of you who are not yet aware of the BELT and ROAD INITIATIVE, here is a brief summation. While our corporate controlled media has kept silent, the Belt & Road project is slowly steadily surely changing global alliances. A recent April 20, 2019 update reveals that China’s Belt & Road “continues to win over Europe.”
"The new model of development which has increasingly won over central, and eastern Eurasian countries as well as Greece and Italy have provided a breath of fresh air for citizens everywhere who are looking with despair upon a Trans-Atlantic system which can do nothing but demand obedience to a defunct set of rules that commands only austerity, hyperinflationary banking practices and no long term investment into the real economy. Thus the technocratic mobilization against the BRI over the past days in response to this new paradigm can only be seen as an absurd attempt to save a system which has already failed."
Federico PIERACCINI | 03.04.2019 | WORLD / Europe, Asia Pacific | FEATURED STORY
Belt and Road Initiative in Full Swing in Europe
The multipolar transformation that is occurring across the Eurasian continent confirms the industrial and diplomatic cooperation between China and the European continent in spite of strong opposition from the United States.
Xi Jinping's visit to Europe confirms what many of us have been writing about over the past few months and years, namely, the reality of an ongoing global transformation of a world dominated by the United States to a pluralistic one composed of different powers collectively shaping a multipolar world.
Europe therefore finds itself in fortuitous position, balanced as it is between its old world links to the United States on the one side and the fledgling Eurasian one being ushered in by Russia and China on the other.
Countries like Germany and France, but even the United Kingdom, have long implemented commercial policies that encourage integration between the countries of the Eurasian supercontinent. In 2015, the United Kingdom was among the first Western countries to join the Chinese Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), which finances projects of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
The Chinese BRI mega project kicked off in 2014 with the ambitious goal of integrating trade between China and Europe by sea and by land, in the process incorporating all the countries in between. The idea, as a natural consolidation of trade, is to shorten the delivery times of goods by rail and integrate sea routes. The project covers not only ports and rail lines but also the construction of technological infrastructure to achieve global interconnectivity using the 5G technology developed by the Chinese tech giant Huawei.
Germany and France have over the years deepened their partnerships with Beijing. Paris in particular boasts historical ties with China stemming from the nuclear cooperation between China General Nuclear Power Group (CGNPC) and Électricité de France (EDF) stretching back to 1978, as well as the aerospace one between Airbus and the Chinese aviation companies that has been ongoing since 1985.
… for US strategists the two greatest dangers lie in the possibility of Moscow and Beijing, or Moscow and Berlin, cooperating and coordinating their efforts. The Berlin-Moscow-Beijing triangle, with the addition of Rome and Paris, represents a scenario for Washington that is unprecedented in terms of its challenge to US hegemony in Europe.

Rumors of War: Washington Is Looking for a Fight
Philip M. Giraldi / April 18, 2019
Philip Giraldi (born c. 1946) is a former counter-terrorism specialist and military intelligence officer of the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and a columnist and television commentator who is the Executive Director of the Council for the National Interest. Giraldi is a founding member of the Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity. In September 2015 Giraldi and 27 other members of VIPS steering group wrote a letter to the President challenging a recently published book, that claimed to rebut the report of the United States Senate Intelligence Committee on the Central Intelligence Agency's use of torture.
Giraldi: It is depressing to observe how the United States of America has become the evil empire. Having served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War and in the Central Intelligence Agency for the second half of the Cold War, I had an insider’s viewpoint of how an essentially pragmatic national security policy was being transformed bit by bit into a bipartisan doctrine that featured as a sine qua non global dominance for Washington. Unfortunately, when the Soviet Union collapsed the opportunity to end once and for all the bipolar nuclear confrontation that threatened global annihilation was squandered as President Bill Clinton chose instead to humiliate and use NATO to contain an already demoralized and effectively leaderless Russia.
American Exceptionalism became the battle cry for an increasingly clueless federal government as well as for a media-deluded public.
When 9/11 arrived, the country was ready to lash out at the rest of the world. President George W. Bush growled that “There’s a new sheriff in town and you are either with us or against us.” Afghanistan followed, then Iraq, and, in a spirit of bipartisanship, the Democrats came up with Libya and the first serious engagement in Syria. In its current manifestation, one finds a United States that threatens Iran on a nearly weekly basis and tears up arms control agreements with Russia while also maintaining deployments of US forces in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia and places like Mali. Scattered across the globe are 800 American military bases while Washington’s principal enemies du jour Russia and China have, respectively, only one and none.
Never before in my lifetime has the United States been so belligerent, and that in spite of the fact that there is no single enemy or combination of enemies that actually threaten either the geographical United States or a vital interest. Venezuela is being threatened with invasion primarily because it is in the western hemisphere and therefore subject to Washington’s claimed proconsular authority. Last Wednesday Vice President Mike Pence told the United Nations Security Council that the White House will remove Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro from power, preferably using diplomacy and sanctions, but “all options are on the table.” Pence warned that Russia and other friends of Maduro need to leave now or face the consequences.
The development of the United States as a hostile and somewhat unpredictable force has not gone unnoticed. Russia has accepted that war is coming no matter what it does in dealing with Trump and is upgrading its forces. By some estimates, its army is better equipped and more combat ready than is that of the United States, which spends nearly ten times as much on “defense.”
Iran is also upgrading its defensive capabilities, which are formidable. Now that Washington has withdrawn from the nuclear agreement with Iran, has placed a series of increasingly punitive sanctions on the country, and, most recently, has declared a part of the Iranian military to be a “foreign terrorist organization” and therefore subject to attack by US forces at any time, it is clear that war will be the next step. In three weeks, the United States will seek to enforce a global ban on any purchases of Iranian oil. A number of countries, including US nominal ally Turkey, have said they will ignore the ban and it will be interesting to see what the US Navy intends to do to enforce it. Or what Iran will do to break the blockade.
But even given all of the horrific decisions being made in the White House, there is one organization that is far crazier and possibly even more dangerous. That is the United States Congress, which is, not surprisingly, a legislative body that is viewed positively by only 18 per cent of the American people.
… “Our goal is to change the status quo and impose meaningful sanctions and measures against Putin’s Russia. He should cease and desist meddling in the US electoral process, halt cyberattacks on American infrastructure, remove Russia from Ukraine, and stop efforts to create chaos in Syria.” … “ … efforts in Congress to hold Russia accountable for its bellicose behavior against the United States and its determination to destabilize our global world order.”
The Senatorial commentary is, of course, greatly exaggerated and sometimes completely false regarding what is going on in the world, but it is revealing of how ignorant American legislators can be and often are. The Senators also ignore the fact that the designation of presumed Kremlin surrogate forces as “foreign terrorist organizations” is equivalent to a declaration of war against them by the US military, while hypocritically calling Russia a state sponsor of terrorism is bad enough, as it is demonstrably untrue. But the real damage comes from the existence of the bill itself. It will solidify support for hardliners on both sides, guaranteeing that there will be no rapprochement between Washington and Moscow for the foreseeable future, a development that is bad for everyone involved. Whether it can be characterized as an unintended consequence of unwise decision making or perhaps something more sinister involving a deeply corrupted congress and administration remains to be determined.

Susan you find so many important articles to read thank you for your efforts. When I want to get a dose of realty I come here..depressing that it may be:(
Hello Pat in SF! Thank you for your kind words. Yes, I know that I often post reports that are dark. I sometimes joke and call myself 'the priestess of doom'! 🙂 However, I would always rather know the truth, no matter how bad – and so I continue to lift up rocks. I have been on this search for some 30 years now, since I first read Eustice Mullins so long ago. My deep Faith in our Creator serves and sustains me. I know this, our Home planet will eventually return to her harmonic core resonances. World without end!
hello Dane,
It’s been awhile successfully I have posted any comments. I read all the news updates you send .Those of us that are aware are still having a hell of a time trying to wake up the sleeping un aware public. They either don’t care or refuse to believe . It’s not mentioned on mainstream news and never will be so the general public don’t believe it’s happening.
Here in So. Cal the weather is hot then artificially ice neucleated to drop 30 degrees like today. Yesterday hot as hell and today over cast and very chilly. The jets fly under the cover of DARKNESS 2:00AM TILL BEFORE SUNRISE. They still spray during the day too because they know that they have won . Nobody notices so there is outcry of wonder or anger. They have put most of the population to sleep. Now I’m more or equally concerned about coming of “THE INTERNET OF THINGS” and the thing that makes it all work is the very dangerous 5 G transmitters. The powers are moving forward at a fast track speed to lay out all the infrastructure. High levels of microwave will finish us all off as well as every other living thing . Plant or animal or insect. The stupid greedy bastards ONLY care about profits. We are talking trillions of dollars . And of course the unsuspecting public thinks this is a great idea too. Faster Interned speed but at what cost to the well being of all living things. The Ai will soon be all that’s left . Much like Sky Net and the terminator . We are there now ! They have the technology and are ready to launch it. The most troublesome aspect is the possibility of “ Silent Sound” and the broadcasting of subliminal messages for TOTAL MIND CONTROL. I’m surprised that your site has not been censored for telling the truth . The truth now seems to be the enemy of the state.
I could go on this rant and fill a book but it’s time to get back to creating artwork. Thank you Dane for all that you are trying to accomplish .
