"I spent twelve years in Scientology. I progressed to the "secret upper levels" of Scientology which are chiefly involved with the exorcism of demons. I didn't realize when I got into Scientology that I would be involved in demonic and satanic practices when I got onto these upper levels. Nor was it told to me that L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology, was a practicing Satanist, and that this was his religion, and the "religion" behind Scientology. The facts are carefully concealed from the beginning Scientologist." Hollywood, Satanism, Scientology and Suicide

John Hinckley is in the News Again
In 1982, John Hinckley was found not guilty by reason of insanity of shooting then President Ronald Reagan.
Today, Hinckley is in the news as he seeks more freedom from his current residence, a D.C. psychiatric hospital.“This man is not dangerous,” said Mr Hinckley's attorney Barry Wm. Levine.

But what about John Hinckley?
Some think he was/is a victim of some type of mk-ultra mind control:
"Another mind-controlled victim who has been unfairly victimized is John Hinckley, the young man who wounded President Reagan. Hinckley was programmed in Lexington by an aide to a British Intelligence psychiatrist, who had previously programmed Son-of -Sam satanic cultist Berkovitz at a Westchester, N.Y. mind-control facility. Like Patrick Purdy, who massacred seven Vietnamese children in a Stockton, California schoolyard, Hinckley had associated with neo-Nazis and had been prescribed mood-altering neuroleptic pharmaceuticals."

HINCKLEY AND BUSH FAMILIES WERE CLOSE FRIENDS
by Connie Cook Smith

Everyone knows who John Hinckley, Jr. is. This youngest Hinckley son is now being permitted unsupervised visits within the Washington, DC metropolitan area--away from his mental facility, after nearly killing President Reagan in 1981. But a much more interesting subject is, who is John Hinckley, Sr.?
In 1980, Hinckley Sr. was a Texas oilman who, the records show, strove mightily to get fellow Texas oilman George H.W. Bush the Republican nomination for president. The Bushes and the Hinckleys were frequent dinner companions.
But far beyond their social connection, neither Bush nor Hinckley wanted Ronald Reagan to become president, because Reagan was opposed to tax breaks for the oil industry to which Bush, Hinckley and other Texans were highly dependent.
The effort to make Bush Sr. president in 1980 failed; but he and his friend and backer Hinckley Sr. got the next best thing – the "heartbeat away from the presidency" office of Vice-President of the United States.
A couple months later, Hinckley Jr. shot Reagan, and Bush Sr. very nearly did become president at that time, after all. Curiously, only one time was it announced on the news about the connections between the Bush and Hinckley families: An almost bewildered John Chancellor on NBC Nightly News reported "the bizarre coincidence" that Vice President Bush's son, Neil, and Scott Hinckley had dinner plans for March 31, 1981 -- now cancelled, of course. [But even Chancellor failed to mention the close friendship between the the assassin's father and Vice President Bush--let alone the rest of the corporate media.]
Reports indicate that the Bush family strove mightily to keep this information from the American people. And some reports list this incredible "coincidence" -- directly linked to the assassination attempt of President Reagan -- as one of the most spiked stories of the last century.
In other words, the brother of the shooter and the son of the vice-president (and their wives) had a dinner date for the day after the shooting. But it really wasn’t such "a bizarre coincidence." Those two families were very close; but the press never focused on that critical fact as it should have. If Reagan had died, the oilmen’s interests would have been served.
Some people think that Hinckley Jr. was mind-controlled, CIA-style, to shoot Reagan. George Bush Sr. was head of the CIA a few years before. Others think that young Hinckley wanted to please his dad and get Bush, his dad’s candidate and close friend, into the presidency for him after all.
Interestingly, legal experts note that the crime occurred in Washington, D.C., the only venue in the United States at that time which recognized an insanity defense. If the kid committed the crime in D.C., he would never serve hard time? Well, coincidentally, that's where he committed it.
A very good read on the Hinckley-Bush connections is a book that came out about 20 years ago, entitled, "The Afternoon of March 30." It was published as a novel in order to protect the author. This book is now more relevant than ever, and it can be obtained at:
http://www.nathanielblumberg.com/bush.htm.
But there’s another coincidence to mention. In January of 1963, President John F. Kennedy announced his plan to cut the tax breaks for the oil industry. Oilmen H.L. Hunt, George H.W. Bush (head of Zapata Petroleum), and others were no doubt enraged. What a curious twist of fate that Kennedy was shot in Texas later that same year.
In the 1990's, LBJ’s now-undisputed mistress Madeleine Brown announced that LBJ told her that Kennedy was murdered "by the oil people, and aspects of the CIA."
And gosh, one more coincidence – we now have another Bush, the oilman’s son, becoming U.S. President in a very quirky election. And many individuals believe he gave the American people completely phony reasons for invading Iraq-- one of the most oil-rich nations in the Middle East.
Hmm....
[ Sidebar: Many other significant facts concerning the Bush and Hinckley families have remained unexplored and unexplained, in addition to other matters related to the assassination attempt detailed in Blumberg's book which is found at:
http://www.nathanielblumberg.com/bush.htm :
1. Neil Bush, a landman for Amoco Oil, told Denver reporters he had met Scott Hinckley at a surprise party at the Bush home January 23, 1981 [Nine weeks before Hinckley's brother John Jr. attempted to assassinate President Reagan--which would have elevated Bush Sr. to the presidency], and approximately three weeks after the U.S. Department of Energy had begun what was termed a "routine audit" of the books of the Vanderbilt Energy Corporation, the Hinckley oil company. In an incredible coincidence, on the morning of March 30 [the day of the Reagan assassination attempt by John Hinckley, Jr.], three representatives of the U.S. Department of Energy told Scott Hinckley, John Hinckley Jr.'s older brother and Vanderbilt's vice president of operations, that auditors had uncovered evidence of pricing violations on crude oil sold by the company from 1977 through 1980. The auditors announced that the federal government was considering a penalty of two million dollars. [This, on the same day that his brother John--the youngest son of Vice President Bush's close friend--attempted the assassination!] Scott Hinckley reportedly requested "several hours to come up with an explanation" of the serious overcharges. The meeting ended a little more than an hour before John Hinckly Jr. shot President Reagan.
2. Excerpts from an interview by Theresa Walla, United Press International, March 9, 1985: Journalism professor Nathaniel Blumberg was so disturbed about the investigation into the attempted assassination of President Reagan that he turned his suspicions into a 377-page novel.
In The Afternoon of March 30 , Blumberg blends fact and fiction in looking at the unreported "connections" between Hinckley's family and that of Vice President George Bush, the man who came within a heartbeat of the presidency of the United States.
"What I'm really after is the case to be officially reopened," said the Rhodes scholar and former dean of the University of Montana journalism school. "If they can answer all the questions satisfactorily, I'll be delighted," he said in an interview. "In truth, I don't think all the questions can be answered without opening up a whole new can of worms."
Blumberg's unease is now focused on the indifference shown to what he calls "the story behind the story." Bush, he said, has questions to answer in connection with the attempt. So do the FBI and the judge who presided over Hinckley's trial, according to Blumberg.
"I'm not saying there was a conspiracy to assassinate Reagan," Blumberg emphasized. "I'm saying there was a conspiracy to keep significant information from the public that it has a right to know."
Blumberg asks his readers to consider his contentions that journalists were fed a barely believable story full of inconsistencies. A long-time media critic, he decided the example warranted more than a critique of press performance in a crisis. Such efforts, he said, usually "go out there and die." Instead, he chose to weave his questions into a novel so it would reach a broader audience and allow him to probe problems in society and corruption in government, as well as maladies of the U.S. press.
His book chronicles the adventures of a fictitious Montana newsman who follows the information trail deserted by the national media. His documentation is put in the form of an article the fictitious hero is writing. Blumberg published the book on his own Wood FIRE Ashes Press to retain total control over the quality.
"Have you ever heard an author say what a great job his publisher did with a book?" he asks. But, without a commercial advertising campaign, he's had to market the book in an "organic, straightforward fashion." Blumberg says he mails out several copies of the novel each week and expects it to "stay alive as long as people continue to care about justice." ]

MORE LINKS AND RESEARCH ON REAGAN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT:
[ Special thanks to Virginia Raines ( rainesco@earthlink.net ) for yet more intriguing information and incredible links concerning Bush-Hinckley, evidence that Hinckley did not carry out the assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan. At the least, there has been much left out and covered up. And anyone who has the least bit of interest in getting to the TRUTH of 9-11 should take note that incredible evidence and even strikingly curious "coincidences" get swept under the rug in key historical cases such as this one. Moreover, one only needs to examine the useless 9-11 Commission which refuses to publicly examine officials in charge on the day of the attack UNDER OATH as an example of how to cover up the largest mass murder in U.S. history. Here is Virginia Raines' research and look at further evidence in the Reagan assassination attempt:
There are further questions -- particularly the World Vision connection. Here are a few bits to add to the query. Please share this information with Connie or anyone else who has doubts about the official story of the attempt on Reagan's life.
Reagan was blackmailed into taking on Bush as VP. Within just a few months, Bush Sr. was essentially co-president (or more).
"Bush is functioning much like a co-president. George is involved in all the national security stuff because of his special background as CIA director." -- White House press secretary James Brady, March 1981 Chapter XVII - 'The Attempted Coup D'Etat of March 30, 1981' 'George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography' by Webster G. Tarpley & Anton Chaitkin.
Video Evidence: Did Hinckley Really Shoot Reagan?
http://www.noveltynet.org/content/paranormal/www.parascope.com/mx/articles/hinckley.htm
[[Note that Reagan didn't think he was hit by a bullet at all -- and that leaves another question about just what happened; this is snipped from another page of the Tarpley and Chaitkin book]]
"Only the sixth and last bullet found Reagan, striking his armpit and tunneling into his chest. The president felt a sharp pain but thought it was only from Parr pushing him so hard. He looked at Parr and made a feeble joke: 'You sonofabitch, you broke my rib' just as the limousine raced away from the scene."
Namebase: (see social network diagram by clicking link)
http://www.namebase.org/main4/World-Vision.html
[[snipped from an intenet list -- this portion written by Brian Downing Quig]]
Of course there was a connection to Bush. The information below is very uninformed. At the time John Hinkley "shot" Reagan Hinkley's brother was having dinner with one of the Bush sons. Hinkley's father was a close friend of Bush senior and the number 2 man in a CIA front called WORLD VISION SOCIETY. The WORLD VISION SOCIETY purported to feed the world's hungry while all along their purpose was to manage refugee camps from which to recruit assassins. Today the WORLD VISION SOCIETY manages the refugee camp at the old Jones Town location where the CIA's Hmong mercenaries now are.
Chapman, the assassin of John Lennon, worked at a WORLD VISION SOCIETY managed refugee camp for the Cuban boat people at Fort Chaffee with the remnents of ALPHA 66. As Lennon was shot, president elect Reagan and his chosen CIA Director Bill Casey clinked champaign glasses a few blocks away in a New York City hotel. That is how they set the tenor of their administration.
And remember, the doctors said they removed a disc from Reagan--not a bullet. Barbara Honegger thinks Brady was the intended victim because of what he knew about the deal Reagan cut with the Iranians to delay the hostage release.
http://www.babelmagazine.com/issue82/jonestown.html:
Jonestown, CIA, World Vision, Hinckley and Bush from Internet posting:
One of the strangest CIA connections to Jonestown was World Vision, an evangelical order which often fronts for the CIA. They performed espionage work for the CIA in Southeast Asia while Operation Phoenix (the murderous project that left 40,000 people dead) was in full effect. In Honduras, they maintained a presence at CIA contra recruiting camps in the war against the Sandinistas. In Lebanon, the fascist Phalange butchered Palestinians at World Vision's camp. In Cuba, their refugee camps hosted numerous members of the anti-Castro terrorist group Alpha 66 of Bay of Pigs fame.
After the Guyana massacre, World Vision developed a scheme to repopulate Jonestown with CIA-linked mercenaries from Laos. Laos, of course, was where the CIA was running its "secret war" during Vietnam, which for the most part was a smokescreen for a widespread opium trafficking operation.
One particularly important World Vision official was John Hinckley, Sr., an oil man, reputed CIA officer, and friend of George Bush. You may have heard of his son.
Less than four months before Hinckley Jr. became known as Jodie Foster's biggest fan, another member of the World Vision order, Mark Chapman, gunned down John Lennon in what may have been a practice run for the bigger hit on President Reagan. One of the policemen who found him was convinced that he was a mind-controlled assassin. Chapman was clutching a copy of the novel "Catcher in the Rye," which was also owned by John Hinckley Jr. (The book was written by J.D. Salinger, who worked in military intelligence with Henry Kissinger during World War II.) Before going to trial, Chapman pleaded guilty after a voice in his head (which he attributed to God) commanded him to do so.
Considering the history of World Vision and what went on previously in Guyana, it is possible that the real purpose behind repopulating Jonestown was to create another breeding ground for brainwashed zombies like Chapman and Hinckley. Near Jonestown there was a place called Hilltown, a compound of 8,000 blacks that followed cult leader Rabbi David Hill, who held his flock with an iron fist. Hill had so much power that he was referred to as the "vice prime minister" of Guyana. There was also another place in Guyana called "Johnstown," as well as similar operations in the Philippines and Chile. It appears that Jonestown (and World Vision's later attempt) is hardly the exception to the rule of using obscure locations in Third World nations as laboratories for covert cult operations.
[[The "Cleon" mentioned here would be Cleon Skousen, I think. Gritz isn't always the best source for information, but what he says here can be found in other reports as well.]]
http://www.ez-websites.com/grudge/bo.htm
Excerpts from a talk given by Lt. Col. "Bo" Gritz in Mesa, Arizona on April 4, 1992:
In Mesa, I met with him [Cleon Skaas(?)] and I said, "Why in the world did Ronald Reagan sell us down the tube by taking George Bush as his running mate?" And I really didn't know that Cleon knew Ronald Reagan rather well. But he told me: He said, "Bo, George Bush was Ronald Reagan's greatest opponent," (if you'll remember, back in the 1980 elections), "and Ronald Reagan said he would never have him. Then, Ronald Reagan was invited to New York to go see Rockefeller. When he saw Rockefeller, he was told, 'If you do not take my head of the Trilateral Commission'" (remember, the Council on Foreign Relations, George Bush) "'as your running mate, the only way you'll see the inside of the White House is as a tourist.'"
Two months after he was inaugurated, two months is all that Ronald Reagan lasted. March 30th, 1981, two months after his inauguration in January of 1981, he was shot -- was he not? And the news said that he was shot by John Hinckley, Jr., and that John Hinckley, Jr., was some kind of a Jodie Foster freak. And that he came out of nowhere, and that he shot Brady in the head, and he shot a policeman in the neck, and he shot a Secret Service man and blew him back over the vehicle, and he shot Ronald Reagan. Right?
Well, remember the hardware. That's why I gave you a little introduction... I did. [Gritz had talked earlier about some sophisticated "tools of the trade."] Soon as I see this stuff I begin to wonder, because I've been a part of these kinds of operations. Let's just go back and review. It's all in the book [*Called to Serve*(?)], and so, very quickly I'll run down through you.
When Brady was shot, no question. Here we've got John Hinckley, Jr., Oh, by the way, is John Hinckley, Jr., just some kind of a "weirdo?" Isn't it strange that John Hinckley, Sr., is the owner of Vanderbilt Oil? And, of course, George Bush is the owner of Zapata Oil. Was it a coincidence, then, that John Hinckley, Sr., and George Bush are neighbors *for years* in Houston, Texas, working together? Is it any coincidence that John Hinckley, Sr., when you go back through the FEC, the Federal Election Commission, his own record of giving maximum donations every year to Mr. Bush even when he started running for Congress. Well now, does that make his son, John Hinckley, Jr., seem a little bit less of a coincidence? I think it does. Here's why:
When the President was shot, if you'll remember, he was pushed into the car by a man named Jerry Parr(sp?) that was his Secret Service guard. Jerry Parr fell on top of him and, I just saw in the *Reader's Digest* where Jerry Parr was telling his "valiant story." And the limousine tore off, didn't it? Now it was *five minutes later* that the ambulance arrived and they put the Secret Service man, the Washington, D.C. policeman, and Brady in the ambulance and *it* roared off. Using normal time-rate/distance, who should have arrived at George Washington University Hospital first? The President should have. Well, who did? You know it's a trick question. The ambulance arrived 15 minutes before the President. When asked, "What happened?" the Secret Service simply responded, "We got lost."
The Secret Service does not get lost in Washington, D.C. They don't get lost in most places of the world. And so, now the investigation starts to get a little interesting. When they take Ronald Reagan in, they can see that he... matter of fact, his heart almost stopped. And he is convulsing; there's blood on his lips. They know he's hurt... seriously. But they can find no wounds. They X-ray him *3 times* and can find nothing.
Finally, a nurse notices a tiny entrance wound right at the seventh rib, underneath the armpit. And a doctor takes a probe, and by... very carefully, because they couldn't see it on X-ray, the doctor is able to extract what he said was a planchet, thinner than a dime, that was one-quarter inch from Ronald Reagan's aorta.
Now, Ronald Reagan says... as a matter of fact, let me just see if I can just read it to you... best what Ronnie says. I've got all this in the book... This came right out of a newspaper:
I knew I had been hurt, but I thought that I'd been hurt by the Secret Service man landing on me in the car. As it was, I must say it was the most paralyzing pain. I've described it as if someone hit you with a hammer. But the sensation, it seemed to me, came after I was in the car and so I thought that maybe his gun or something had broken a rib. I set up on the seat, and the pain wouldn't go away -- and suddenly, I found I was coughing up blood. Now you see, to almost anyone else you might say, "Well, just some kind of a fluke." But I'm a skeptic. Because I know how these things have happened ever since they "took out" John Fitzgerald Kennedy. I think maybe JFK was the last honest President that we had... ]

Sirhan Says He Was Victim of Mind Control
RFK assassin Sirhan Sirhan alleges conspiracy theory, seeks release from prison

Sirhan Sirhan, after being arrested for the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy in 1968.
Attorneys for Sirhan Sirhan, the man who assassinated Robert Kennedy in 1968, have asked that he be released from prison, alleging that he was a victim of "mind-control" and never actually shot Kennedy.
Less than a week after the anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Sirhan's lawyers have presented their own Kennedy conspiracy theory, alleging that in Sirhan's 1969 trial the court ignored evidence that there were actually two shooters in RFK's assassination. Sirhan's legal team is also arguing that the revolver found on Sirhan was not responsible for the gunshots that killed Kennedy.
"Though the practice of hypno programming/mind control is hardly new, the public has been shielded from the darker side of the practice," Sirhan's court filings say. "The average person is unaware that hypnosis can and is used to induct antisocial conduct in humans."
Attorneys William F. Pepper and Laurie D. Dusek argue that Sirhan at least deserves a new trial, alleging that the original 1969 proceeding were marred by fraud when the court allowed a substitute bullet to be used in place of the real bullet removed from Kennedy's neck.
In addition, Sirhan's attorneys say recently discovered audio recordings provide evidence that as many as thirteen gun shots were fired at the time of Kennedy's assassination assassinated. As CNN explains, the details get even stranger from there:
Sirhan Sirhan has long claimed that he cannot remember the actual assassination. Harvard Medical School hypno-programming expert Daniel Brown recently worked with Sirhan, claiming to successfully help him remember the assassination for the first time. Brown says Sirhan claims that due to "mind control," Sirhan believed he was at a gun range shooting at circular targets.
Pepper and Dusek also represented Sirhan during his recent unsuccessful attempt to win parole from Pleasant Valley state Prison in Coalinga, California, where he is currently serving a life sentence.

The attorneys further assert that Sirhan was hypno-programmed to be a diversion for the real assassin and allege that Sirhan would be easily blamed for the assassination because he is an Arab. Sirhan, 67, is a Christian Palestinian born in Jerusalem whose parents brought him and his siblings to America in the 1950s.The California attorney general's office has so far declined to comment on Sirhan's court filings.
Sirhan "was an involuntary participant in the crimes being committed because he was subjected to sophisticated hypno programming and memory implantation techniques which rendered him unable to consciously control his thoughts and actions at the time the crimes were being committed," court papers said.
Sirhan Sirhan has long claimed that he cannot remember the actual assassination.

Why Did Christians Ban Christmas in 1647?
LINK: http://missionarytoamerica.wordpress.com/articles/when-christians-banned-christmas/
When Christians Banned Christmas
Although many may say that Christmas is for Christians, history shows that instead of embracing the “holiday,” Christians throughout the years have stood against it. Even some of the very men that founded America fought to outlaw its observance.
In the 1640’s, the English Parliament discussed enacting a ban on Christmas because they believed that it was directly contrary to Christianity. One of the main reasons that the Puritans believed this was because the holiday was a mixture of “pagan revelry” and Catholic mandates. Being strongly against the ways of Catholicism, many Puritans forbade the attendance of mass in England, from which the name “Christmas” was derived.
In 1647, parliament not only passed a law banning Christmas, but also Easter, Whitsun and all of the special “saints” days instituted by the Catholic church.
When the Puritans came to America, they carried with them a desire to worship God in spirit and in truth, and to reject the ways of England. They continued to take a stand against the mandates of the Vatican, which they viewed as idolatrous. Additionally, they despised the way that many celebrated the Vatican-mandated holiday of Christmas by indulging in all sorts of drinking and gluttonous feasting. The Puritans believed these acts blasphemed the name of Christ.
In 1656, Hezekiah Woodward distributed a pamphlet about Christmas, which stated:
”Christ-Mass Day, the old Heathens Feasting Day, in honor to Saturn their Idol-God, the Papists Massing Day, the Profane Man’s Ranting Day, the Superstitious Man’s Idol Day, The Multitudes Idle Day, Satan’s – that Adversary’s – Working Day. Taking to heart the heathenish customs, Popish superstitions, ranting fashions, fearful provocations, horrible abominations, committed against the Lord, and His Christ, on that day and days following …”
On May 11, 1659, the Massachusetts Bay Colony legislature passed a law banning any observance of Christ’s mass, declaring:
“For preventing disorders arising in several places within this jurisdiction, by reason of some still observing such festivals as were superstitiously kept in other countries, to the great dishonor of God & offence of others, it is therefore ordered … that whosoever shall be found observing any such day as Christmas or the like, either by for-bearing of labor, feasting, or any other way, upon any such account as aforesaid, every such person so offending shall pay for every such offence five shillings, as a fine to the county.”
It is said that some, however, continued to celebrate the holiday in secret, and looked for priests who held mass services despite the prohibition against doing so.
While the law against Christmas was repealed in 1681 by English-appointed governor Sir Edmund Andres in an attempt to make the laws of the colony like those of Charles II in England ─ from whence the Puritans had departed ─ many individuals continued to stand against its observance. When Boston’s first Episcopal Church, King’s Chapel, began to hold services in commemoration of the holiday, not everyone attended. Judge Samuel Sewall wrote in his journal in 1697: “[My son] tells me that though most of the boys went to the church, yet he went not.”
Even though some continued to celebrate Christmas through the years, the Puritans believed that doing so demonstrated one’s support of the Roman Catholic Church, which they disdained. They were set against ecumenicalism, both regarding the traditions of Rome and the traditions of the land that they fought to be free from: England.

Judge Samuel Sewall wrote in his journal in 1697: “[My son] tells me that though most of the boys went to the church, yet he went not.”
Even though some continued to celebrate Christmas through the years, the Puritans believed that doing so demonstrated one’s support of the Roman Catholic Church, which they disdained. They were set against ecumenicalism, both regarding the traditions of Rome and the traditions of the land that they fought to be free from: England.

The American Association for Aerosol Research Conference Provides More Clues About Chemtrail/Geoengineering Programs
Could the agenda behind chemtrail/geoengineering programs be more than what geoengineers are admitting?As awareness of these damaging programs increases around the world, theories about them include weather control, population control, morgellons disease, food control, etc. On October 3-7, 2011, scientists from around the world gathered in Orlando, Florida for the American Association for Aerosol Research (AAAR) conference.
The lectures at this conference included; “Air Quality Modeling”, “Health Disparities”, “Ambient Air Particle Pollution”, and an area of particular interest to many who are aware of the chemtrail/geoengineering issue, “Aerosols, Clouds and Precipitation”.
While geoengineering was not the main focus of the event, some of the lectures provided vital clues as to what some of the true agendas of these damaging programs might be.
As was exposed in the groundbreaking documentary, “What in the World Are They Spraying?”, Geoengineer’s models include spraying 10 to 20 million tons of toxic aluminum oxide and other aerosols into our atmosphere for the stated goal of cooling the planet.
While geoengineers insist that their models are to cool the planet, studies suggest that adding aerosols into our atmosphere can create a temporary regional cooling at the cost of an overall warming of the planet as the aerosols create a blanket and trap heat.
These studies contradict the very premise of geoengineering which leads many to ask the question, what are the true reasons for these programs?
Geoengineers also insist that these programs are only in the developmental stages however, mounting evidence suggests on-going deployment as we continue to see dramatic changes in our skies, our weather and the amount of aluminum and other aerosols in our atmosphere.
“Aerosols, Clouds and Precipitation Interactions: Anthropogenic and Natural Effects”, was one of the lectures that discussed how aerosols in our atmosphere can affect weather. The lecture covered the role of aerosols in cloud and precipitation formation.
The first part of the lecture discussed the brightening of clouds associated with increases in aerosols that serve as cloud condensations nuclei. This appears to be directly related to chemtrail/geoengineering programs because, the lecture discussed how different aerosols will distribute cloud water among smaller droplets and more effectively reflect solar radiation.
Also discussed was the fact that increases in atmospheric aerosols will lead to the increase of cloud lifetime, the reduction of precipitation efficiency and the removal of cloud water.
From this lecture and many other well documented studies, we know that putting certain aerosols into our atmosphere will not only reflect the sun but also affect a cloud’s ability to produce rain and thus the increase and decrease of rain fall in certain regions.
Dr. Hui Su of NASA, a participant at the Aerosol and Precipitation Symposium, was asked if she has noticed a considerable increase in stratospheric aerosols. She replied by stating that she has noticed a significant increase but has not measured the composition of the aerosols.
This observation was also noted in a recent study by the National Ocean Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). While both have failed to acknowledge the source and composition of these particles, evidence points towards ongoing stratospheric aerosol geoengineering programs.
Dr. Su went on to say that putting aerosols in the stratosphere impacts temperatures, water vapor and clouds leading to droughts and other negative consequences to our atmosphere including ozone depletion.
When asked about the idea of adding aerosols into the atmosphere from geoengineering programs, she stated the idea is “scary” and concurred that it could give governments and corporations the ability to corporatize and thus control our weather.
At the AAAS meeting in 2010, geoengineers boasted about their ability to heat up over 400 square miles of our atmosphere. According to aerospace expert Mark McCandlish, heating up parts of the atmosphere can create artificial high pressure and low pressures systems and thus give these entities the ability to steer storms.
In order to heat up the atmosphere, a conductor is needed. While aluminum is not a great conductor in wire, it is a very effective conductor in the sky because of its light weight and other properties.
Perhaps this is why we continue to see increasing amounts of lightning along with increases of aluminum in rain tests around the world.
Who benefits from weather modification and weather control programs? Weather began to be traded as a tradable commodity at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange in 1997. Interestingly enough, this is when many believe chemtrail/geoengineering programs began their full-scale deployment. Major commodities are directly affected by weather and temperatures.
According to Chicago Mercantile Exchange Trader Michael Agne, when investing in these types of derivative options, corporations in the energy and insurance business would stand to make profits from certain catastrophes, however it should be noted that these derivatives would most likely be used as a hedge to their existing business risks and any gains would be used to offset insurance payouts or other types of inherent risk.
At least that is the intent of most futures derivative contracts, to hedge certain types of risk. However, this does not rule out the plausibility of excess gains above and beyond the offsetting of potential inherent business risks.
He went on to state that it is most likely possible that certain groups would be able to amass capital gains through the use of these derivatives.
While the idea of corporations chasing profit at the expense of the general public is nothing new, it seems to indicate an even broader agenda to chemtrail/geoengineering programs.
As we see the corporate take-over of our land, water and other natural resources, is it possible that they also intend to take over the world’s weather? While weather modification has been used to create rain in specific areas for years, weather control seeks to usurp the authority of nature and completely control the Earth’s weather systems.
As a matter of fact, corporatization/control of our weather has long been a stated goal of the U.S. corporate military as discussed in “Owning the Weather in 2025”.
Iran’s controversial president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stated that Western countries were using technology to suppress rain from his country and other parts of the world to create drought.
Why would governments be interested in creating droughts in other parts of the world? If we examine the goals of the corporate elite who have stated that their agenda is to consolidate power into the hands of a few by creating world government, we begin to see how weather control is essential in bringing this agenda to fruition.
Weather control can be used as a weapon as it gives certain governments the ability to create drought and famine in other regions. This can destroy a countries ability to grow food and thus remain sovereign and independent. When a country is desperate for food, it will allow other governments to impose their rule and authority upon it in exchange for rain and other resources.
This is the basis of the Hegelian dialectic, problem-reaction- solution. The problem is little or no rain, the reaction is starvation and desperation, the solution is given by the entity that has the ability to send rain and/or GMO seeds that grow in drought conditions.
Geoengineering has the potential to not only be an effective weapon of war, but it can also give corporations, certain governments and, as stated by Geoengineer David Keith, “give(s) man God-like power.”
While geoengineers continue to claim that their damaging programs are designed to save the planet from global warming, overwhelming evidence points towards the consolidation of power into the hands of a few by controlling natural systems and resources.
As we continue to see an increase of aluminum related illnesses and eco-systems around the world collapse, we need to ask the question, is allowing man to have God-Like power a good idea? We also need to ask if we are willing to suffer the consequences of continuing to live in on a planet where every breath that we take is filled with aluminum oxide and other damaging particles.
It is incumbent for those of us who are aware of this issue to take a stand and demand our God given right to live in a natural, healthy environment.

- STOP CHEMTRAIL SPRAYING>SPRAYING HARD OVER MAUI THESE DAYS!!
KEVIN O says:
- Interesting stuff, Michael. You’re making me think now that it originally comes from European banking families and their eugenicist academics, then the day to day management is done by weather derivatives market participants who work with our military. That would be the classic good old boy network, wouldn’t it? If this is true, then our military probably has guys working as liaisons to the weather derivative markets. All paid for by the American people digging their own graves.
- I’ve written so many letters with no response. EPA,DNR,Politicians etc. Finally I got a letter back from my useless congressman Doc Hastings. As expected he listed all the usual corrupted agencies, NASA,EPA,NOAA,FAA,saying these agencies “have found there is no scientific evidence that chemtrails exist” (yeah I know the word is taboo)
M A says:
However you do get the same non-response if you call them by their Christian name: “Stratospheric Aerosol Geoengineering” and Con. Hastings knows this.
He sent me a link to an EPA document he said they supposedly published “in response to all the inquiries.” The document however is dated September2000 before chemtrails evolved to the destruction I’ve photographed. These are no mere ‘trails’ any longer. Here is the document if you like to collect sanitized documents: http://www.epa.gov/oms/regs/nonroad/aviation/contrails.pdf
there are photos and diagrams in color even…oh wow. The usual bs about water vapor etc. (So why didn’t the EPA at least reply by email and send this link?)
I don’t know what else to do. No one answers or seems to care. My NW state must be in one of the cold areas mentioned. (weather never settled and nights were 38-40 degrees off and on all summer) Commercial farms were a month late on most everything. Everyone I asked said their vegetable gardens have been getting sicker every year for the last 8 years or so. Progressively worse. I’ve printed up pdf files from online, scientific, military etc, not simply opinion, included photos, and copy of the movie to make a good report in a bound notebook and sent that off to Congress. NO REPLY.
- This article is clear, concise, and makes several logical links to the dual benefits that the PTP see as ‘beneficial to them’.
MontgomeryScott says:
I had previously read about the ‘Weather Derivatives’ trading tranche, some years ago, but had in fact forgotten about this element of the scheme. I appreciate the reminder, Micheal J. Murphy.
The Pinal Airpark, in Pinal County, Arizona, houses a few (hundred) of these aircraft, courtesy of ‘Evergreen International’, ‘Aviation division’. Their primary bragging rights are that they convert aircraft into aerial spraying platforms, their most recent being the conversion of the 747-200 series into an aerial spray platform (this info is on their homepage website). THEY were also the private aviation firm responsible for shuttling the senators and Congressmen and President into occupied Iraq, after the ‘Mission Accomplished’ thingie.
MOST of these aircraft are twin-engine (at the tail), painted WHITE (with no markings), and, i believe, contracted by the CIA (as Evergreen has a long history of doing, ever since 1978 or perhaps prior, starting with the ‘Air America’ black operations program). Old L10-11′s, D.C.10s, D.C. 9s, and the like, are most frequently observed over my ‘airspace’.
(At LEAST, this is the primary progenitor within the 48-state CONUS)
You will have to do your own research, and come to your own conclusions, regarding my highly-educated opinion on this matter.
Thank you for allowing me to post.

- One of the more recent BUG vids had Mr (unincorporated) Owens and his travelling companion explain, with conviction, the real reason for aerial aerosols: to mediate (or promulgate) glacial melting due to the lack of the ozone layer burnt from nuclear fallout. I’m not clear on the motivation (to speed or slow melting) or science, so if Bob Tuskin can ask Scott to further explain….
scott owsley says:
Thanks in advance
- Scott Owen (BUG) from believersunderground has talked about this at length. This chemtrail phenomena is known as the “Shield of Ra” project, Google it!
Mike Kent says:
-
- Has anyone given any thought to the potential interactions between the metal nano particles being injected into the atmosphere, and HAARP excitation? I suspect that would be research rich with potential…but I lack the background to pursue this!
-
- Not only does the article lie by omission, the comments are lies or idiots. The chemtrails are hiding Planet X and thats why theyve sprayed every day globally for the past four years. Planet X is causing the exponential rise in seismic and volcanic activity and is why the treasonous governments have been building underground cities like mad since they announced they found Planet X in 1983.
AntiLieGuy says:
- Seems a lot of people are aware, concerned, and educated about this spraying. Yet, as with everything with a confrontation, which this is on the people of the entire planet, nothing ever changes or will make things better until the people decide to act accordingly. Fight fire with fire.

Received this email from a wonderful friend today. Had to post and add the video - thanks Leda!
"All is Well With My Soul" by Horatio G. Spafford
This hymn was written after two major traumas in Spafford’s life. The first was the great Chicago Fire of October 1871, which ruined him financially (he had been a wealthy businessman). Shortly after, while crossing the Atlantic, all four of Spafford’s daughters died in a collision with another ship. Spafford’s wife Anna survived and sent him the now famous telegram, “Saved alone.” Several weeks later, as Spafford’s own ship passed near the spot where his daughters died, the Holy Spirit inspired these words. They speak to the eternal hope that all believers have, no matter what pain and grief befall them on earth.
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
Refrain:
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live:
If Jordan above me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.
But, Lord, ’tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,
The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord!
Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul!
And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.

Christmas is the division line between those who serve the True and Living God and the god of mamon. Sad that this day is set aside to recall the humble beginnings of the Greatest King who ever lived…marked with so much fakery and sin….also sad that some families never have time to get together other than on this day.
Christmas is every day: He is alive in my heart and each day adds new mercies every morning.
