      <description>Agricola Apocalypse:
Agricultural Warfare Part II
By Stephen Guptill

 

The Core Of It: 

The following article is not intended to scare the reader, nor is it hyperbole or wild imaginative speculation. Many years now, people have been telling me of various conspiracy theories, and many are easily debunked; however along the way, many of the seemingly unconnected events occurring around us became utterly entwined, along with the realization that many of the conspiracy theories held are actually disinformation, injected into the internet to cause confusion on every topic. 

Below this article you will find substantial amounts of information and an in depth list of source material, and while gathering up the items, a couple articles were found buried in the depths of the internet which independently come to the same conclusion and were included for the reader. 

People of science started messaging me and directing my attention to articles published by scientific elements which are being utterly suppressed; many blanks of information, which are crippling many of the 'wild conspiracy theories' to critical analysis, are filled in with these articles. 

Since writing Agricultural Warfare, an extended library of information has flooded my screen and life. Crops, wild trees and myself have been infected with strange fungus, white mildews, and aluminum toxicity. 

In the sky, jets criss cross forming grid patterns and large bars of cloud which pancake out forming artificial Columbus clouds. With these techniques of geoengineering they have pulled storms from over Halifax to over Wolfville's fields in an hour. The trail they leave pulling a storm cloud along, one can witness the strength of the storm ebb as a result of the shift in direction, and as it is stretched out into an artificial shape. 

They have pulled a storm from the west and a storm from the east, and caused them to collide over Wolfville's fields. 

I have watched this with my own eyes, diligently paying attention for a couple years in Halifax, then a year and a half in Wolfville; to cloud behaviour, weather before, during and after the spraying, and time patterns of spray. I have watched the skies intently since I was a child looking for U.F.Os, so have some template of weather behaviour to draw from in understanding what is normal/abnormal. 

They spray on hot days, the P.R. campaign is that the sprays (Aluminum bromide, silver, and then some.) reflect the rays of the Sun, lowering the temperature on Earth. They use the same equipment used in modern forest fire water bombers; a pressurized nozzle output, oddly enough when the wild fires out West are raging and the skies fill with water bombers the grid spraying over our skies peters out. 

After two days or so of this, grid spraying there will be a day where everyone feels 'heavy', animals are lazy, bugs even do not leap out of the way as they normally will to avoid being crushed underfoot. 

Solar panel enthusiasts have reported up to 80% loss of uptake on these days, compared to a 'normal over cast day'. 

It might rain on this day, if not it will look like it wants to, but the air will not feel or smell like it is going to, because the natural conditions are simply not there. 

Through this geoengineering technique, they can draw water to crops, ensuring proper watering levels and sunny periods. 

Likewise; by insuring a crop against failure, investors can flood/cause a drought and force a crop to fail, cashing in on the insurance. Speculative trading on food crops is an entire article in and of itself, being responsible for the last decade of food riots, massive increase in prices and so on. 

The Fungus And Mass Extinction: 

The sprays used in the sky leave heavy metals in the soil, aluminum in particular being an enemy of almost all biological life, directly destroying genetic material. Plant life is the first sign, the root systems when detecting aluminum in the soil, will shut off all nutritional uptake to protect the plant's genetic code from damage. Trees weaken from the center of the trunk out as fungus infiltrates it's innards, then break off easily in wind storms. Smaller grassy plant literally melts from the top down, turning into a blackish pool like effect. Aluminum also strips the soil of bacteria, destroying the balance which keeps fungus in check, leading to massive fungal infections, turning Pine needles a hazy white, which can be rubbed off; Similarly, Monsanto's Round Up causes the same breech in the immune systems of plant life, also leading to fungus infection, which is then followed by a beetle which thrives in a symbiotic relationship with the fungus feeding off Lodgepole Pines. 

I have seen this in trees around Wolfville, directly outside the law office next to the hardware store is a stand of trees that displays this mildew; and plant life surrounding bogs which GMO corn fields drain into which can be found on the TransCanada Trail running from downtown Wolfville to the farm fields (Full of GMO Soy and Corn.) to the West. 

These plants display a white mildew on their leaf fronts, the same mildew found on crops around Wolfville, crops which are not genetically modified, remember that farmers them self know that the 'gasses (RoundUp et al.) drift for miles'. 

&quot;Goss' wilt and sudden death syndrome&quot; is the name of this epidemic when naturally occurring. 

I have seen the carcasses of birds, exploded from within after farmers spray their fields; and on one occasion a dead mouse, who's body was turned inside out with fungus filiments trailing outwards in all directions.

 

The three of them formed a triangle around a massive set of GMO crops; all sprayed with BT which explodes insects from the inside out; and uptakes to the next animal to eat them, the bird who exploded most dramatically being directly in the center of a soy feild. The other two on the Dykelands trail, and next to the rail way trail to the West of town. The bodies stay around and slowly dry up, as scavangers will not touch them.

An article from 1995 points out: 
&quot;&quot; in 1976 Ralph Byther and Roy Davidson, plant pathologists with the Western Washington Research and Extension Center in Puyallup, Washington, received a diseased Pacific dogwood branch (similar to the Eastern flowering dogwood) from a correspondent living near Vancouver, Washington, across the Columbia River from Portland, Oregon. Anthracnose is the ordinary term plant pathologists use to describe a set of disease symptoms in a wide variety of trees -- oaks, sycamores, even citrus -- that are attacked by fungus. But the coal-dark blotches on the dogwood leaves Byther and Davidson were investigating was not caused by any ordinary fungus. This fungus, belonging to the genus Discula, was a species that could not be identified because it had never been seen before.&quot;&quot; 

According to Wikipedia: &quot;The first GMOs were bacteria in 1973&quot;. 

The time line for fungus infections around the world's wilderness escalates as GMO science proceeds forward from this point. 

Long term, we will see the death of all ecosystems, natural habitat, wildlife, and plant life, there will simply be no wilderness. Up to 90% of populations currently falling to the fungus die, leaving the remaining 10% to survive for the entire species. 

Much evidence shows Bill Gates and Monsanto are heavily invested in these geoengineering techniques. 

Monsanto owns patents on aluminum and fungus resistant crops; along with making attempts at fungus resistant GMO bees. 

Currently there is a farmer who commits suicide every thirty minutes in India, because of debt accrued with Monsanto. 

How It Effects You, Here, Now: 

Here in the Annapolis and Kings County Valley farm belt we sit on a figurative, yet very real; unstable nuclear bomb; it ticks away, it's time of detonation maybe calculated, with enough data, otherwise it might as well be considered a randomly occurring detonation. 

This Doomsday Device is known properly as Genetically Modified Organisms. 

All around us, deadly Round Up Ready Crops are growing, for uncountable kilometers, nothing on The Internet indicates how much farm land is being used in Nova Scotia for GMOs. 

Monsanto is busy donating seeds to 'poverty stricken farmers', without anyone realizing that their seeds are more expensive to buy, must be bought the next year, must be propagated with Monsanto chemicals, and will kill all life around the field eventually. Instead of using natural plants, bugs, birds and animals to do all this work for free. 

The plants uptake the Glysophates in the RoundUp by design, which means you eat it at the dinner table; however it often leeches back into the soil, and washes into the water table. 

One study notes: 
&quot;&quot;In general, commercial formulations (e.g. Ron-do(R) and Roundup(R)) were more toxic than glyphosate alone. For example, Tsui &amp;amp; Chu (2003) observed a 7 folds higher toxicity of Roundup(R) than the IPA salt of glyphosate in the green algae Selenastrum capricornutum (Table 1).&quot; 

We are awash in this substance. 

The tap water tastes terrible because of it, as spring moves in, the smell of the air changes no longer to cow pooh, but chemical gas, the water becomes even stranger tasting, and the direct effects of this substance is lesions on the skin of humans and genetic unraveling. 

 

After being sprayed from around 50 feet away last spring near a local field by accident, I have had skin lesions, and have to continuously clean them out when they form. Each appears as an ingrown hair, but the hair is not as a normal ingrown hair is, there is a knot of hard tissue like substance over it, which is made up of white threads, after these are removed the hair can eventually be released if properly cared for. &quot;Agrobacterium-Mediated Transformation of Fusarium oxysporum&quot; or just &quot;Fusarium&quot; seems to be the most likely culprit for the lesions, as many other other have been infected with this fungus after exposure to Round Up and reported/photographed the same wounds 

Two reports state that: 
&quot;A 54 year old man in Brazil was diagnosed with Parkinsonism following accidental spraying; he developed skin lesions six hours after being exposed to spraying, and a month later he developed Parkinson's disease symptoms  . The other case involved a woman in Serbia who ingested 500 milliliters of glyphosate solution and developed Parkinsonism along with lesions of the brain's white matter and pons (part of brain stem), and altered mental status.&quot; 

That is not the only fungus to attack humans in relation to Monsanto's sprays either; also roaming larger every day are: Basidiobolus Ranarum and Cryptococcus Gattii. 

Basidiobolus Ranarum is: 
&quot;A rare fungal infection that can create a cancer like mass in the gastrointestinal tract has emerged in Arizona and other desert regions, Mayo Clinic researchers say.&quot; 

While Cryptococcus Gattii is: 
&quot;... an airborne fungus usually found in the tropics. But researchers announced today that new, deadly strains are thriving in Oregon, and spreading. These strains kill 25% of people who come into contact with them.&quot; 

Not to mention the hazardous gene found in GMOs for the last twenty years which: 
&quot;...it was discovered to have a recombination (fragmentation) hotspot that would enhance unintended horizontal gene transfer and recombination, and in the process create new viruses or activate old ones, and trigger cancer in animal cells by well-known processes of 'insertion carcinogenesis'. The CaMV 35S promoter was known to be highly promiscuous in being able to function in most if not all species across the living world (including human cells, as it turned out). To make matters worse, many synthetic versions of the promoter have been constructed with additional enhancers for gene expression and sequences from other sources, all of which increase its instability (tendency to fragment) as well as its ability to drive inappropriate gene expression.&quot; 

Specifically, we need to really think about and understand the follow excerpts: 
~&quot;Monsanto and the European Commission (EC) have known about birth defects since the 1980s. Industry studies found statistically significant skeletal and/or visceral abnormalities as well as reduced viability and increase in spontaneous abortions in rats and rabbits exposed to high doses of glyphosate. Lower doses were later shown to cause dilated hearts. The EC dismissed all the findings.&quot; 

~&quot;GM soybean-fed female rats gave birth to excessive numbers of severely stunted pups, with over half of the litter dead by three weeks, and the surviving pups were sterile.&quot; 

~ &quot;Neurotoxicity effects include Parkinsonism have emerged following acute exposure. Exposure to glyphosate resulted in oxidative stress in lab animals and death of neuronal cells, correlating with Parkinsonian pathology. Acute exposure in fish resulted in acetylcholine esterase (AChE) inhibition. An epidemiological study linked glyphosate -exposure to Attention-Deficit-Hyperactive disorder in children, a disorder associated with AChE inhibition. The original neurotoxicity studies carried out by industry were ruled invalid by the US Environment Protection Agency and urgently need re-examining by independent scientists.&quot; 

This is being cushioned with a new Public Relations Campaign against the &quot;perceived threats of un-natural/un-healthy food&quot;, the focus is on a &quot;psychological disorder&quot; now know as: Orthorexia Nervosa. 

It has been defined as a fear of any GMO products, refined sugars, highly processed foods, and unexplainable ingredients, with an 'obsession' for reading the labels of food to find out what is inside the package. 

Understand that: 
Healthy eating is now considering a &quot;psychological disorder&quot;. 

Who Is Monsanto? 
That is a question which is harder to answer than not. 

Monsanto is no longer Monsanto, they recently were packaged up in a deal and now go by the name: Pharmacia; who is owned by none other than: Pfizer. That is an entirely other bag of worms, which I have not dug into for this article for fear of never finishing the piece in a timely manner; but at a brief glance I see much the same behaviour as found from Monsanto/Pharmacia of Government infiltration and subversion. 

Wikipedia states: &quot;Pharmacia is the modern transliteration of the Greek word Pharmakeia which means pharmacy the making and dispensing of poisons, pharmaceuticals or medicines as well as cosmetics, lotions, perfumes etc.&quot; 

To skip over what is already public knowledge about their role in chemical production, including Agent Orange, a precursor to RoundUp, and agriculture, we find a mess of business men, politicians, and even members of the so called: Environmental Protection Agency. 

Instead of a massive slurry of information, here are some distilled bits to start the adventure.

The Meat And Potatoes: 

What is the real reason behind the spraying in the sky? The United States Government found geoengineering to be too unpredictable for dispersal of large hurricanes, with it often making the storm worse and more unstable in studies done from the 1950s onward. They were however, blindly dumping chemicals into massive storms. 

China utilized the technology to keep rain clouds at bay during the 2008 Olympic Games; their programs include artillery shells and handheld rocket launchers firing exploding rounds into the sky which disperse the same payload that Monsanto is using in their grid spraying operations. 

Environment Canada's article on aluminum salts specifically states in reference to the use of aluminum: 
&quot;This process has been used for many years to treat phosphorus in wastewaters, as well as to reduce phosphorus levels in runoff from land fertilized with poultry litter and restore phosphorus-enriched eutrophic lakes (Lewandowski et al. 2003).&quot; 

Nitrogen/phosphate induced blooms are currently causing a flesh eating fungus to spread through dolphin populations within the Indian River Lagoon, in Florida, along with other nasty effects on the other wildlife found there; including cancerous growths all over turtles. 

Monsanto's heavy investment in geoengineering becomes clear now, their crops cause phosphate blooms, and to keep this all in check, they are criss crossing the sky with aluminum dust. If they were not doing this, the damage caused by their crops would be too evident to deny, to blatant to avoid eye contact with. 

We sit now on the brink of oblivion itself; 
her mighty jaws salivating and wide open waiting for us. 

Through Colony Collapse we see the bee is going insane, the fungus causing them to become irate and restlessly leave en mass from the hive; failing to assist in the pollination of vital plant life. 

Before the bees, we saw bananas, previously the chosen crop of banana immune to the fungus invasion, crippled, and almost pushed to extinction in recent years by fungus, yet again caused directly by the application of Round Up. 

Now we see amphibians dying off in droves, tadpoles with white tales, acting drunk, infected with a fungus, a sign the extinction is in your area. 

On top of the bees we find that:
&quot;The number of monarch butterflies that completed an annual migration to their winter home in a Mexican forest sank this year to its lowest level in at least two decades, due mostly to extreme weather and changed farming practices in North America, the Mexican government and a conservation alliance reported on Wednesday.&quot;

Not only are crops being sprayed with RoundUp and other pesticides, but Agriculture Canada admits to spraying the entire FOREST with these chemicals, 'to keep pests in check', instead of leaving nature to balance herself. 

I saw myself the newest victim's to make headlines in &quot;mysterious mass die offs&quot;, again caused by a fungus. 

A small brown bat lay wounded, bringing him home he soon woke up and became very friendly, interacting with my girlfriend and I like a small puppy or kitten, very intelligent animal too, again like a cat or dog, not the fearsome creature portrayed in Hollywood films. 

After calling around to find him help, as he had a busted leg, we were informed to look carefully at him, low and behold, we found white splotches. 

Turns out up to 7+ million bats have died in the East North United States alone in recent years from White Nose Syndrome, and our little friend had it. 

He passed away within the night and was submitted to Natural Resources who are investigating the spread through Nova Scotia. 

&quot;The Forest Service estimates that the die-off from white-nose syndrome means that at least 2.4 million pounds of bugs (1.1 million kg) will go uneaten&quot; 

Monsanto spray ends up causing even more bugs (Tougher bugs, too.) in the long run. 

It was the time with the bat, and reading about White Nose Syndrome that all the pieces clicked together in my mind, fungus everywhere, killing everything, aluminum in the sky, phosphate blooms in the water... My YouTube channel is filled with videos exploring each of these topics in depth as I found my way through the fog; explicit language warning is in effect on those videos as I experience monumental amounts of frustration trying to understand what was happening around me. 

SOLUTIONS: 

This situation is overwhelming in scope and reality. 

It effects us all, and as individuals we may appear powerless against such monumentus forces. 

However, choosing to side with Nature allies you with the most powerful force on Earth. 

The word &quot;Wilderness&quot; has been thought to originally mean: &quot;Self Willed Place&quot;; referencing the forests ability to grow in lush abundance. 

By consciously choosing to phase soy, refined corn products like corn syrup, and corn starch, along with enriched wheat, and palm oil, out of our diets, and eventually over time, learn to grow our own food at home, using non-GMO heirloom seeds. 

Learn to practice the art of seed saving, investing in seeds is a better investment of money than gold in my opinion. 

Study the techniques of Aquaponics and Wicking Systems, simple closed loop technologies which enable robust plant growth, and less work for the end user. 

Will Allen produces 1 million pounds of food a year off three acres of land using Aquaponics and Wicking Systems. 

They can be stacked so that 1 acre can become four, five, or however many layers one adds; the whole system is gravity fed, so with ingenuity only one fish pump is required for an entire farm. 

All the excess fish pooh from the pumps goes into the Wicking Systems, constantly improving the soil inside the buckets. 

GO FISHING (Or hunting.)! A great way to spend time in nature and capture your own dinner! Nothing gets you closer to your food than killing it yourself. I feel more grateful, and truly appreciate my supper and the animal's loss of life when done this way. 

Educating others is of the utmost importance right now, many people out right refuse to look at their diet closely and understand what is happening inside them, even with signs all around them of the impending global event. Even on issues such as Nestle using Child Slaves in Africa to harvest chocolate, along with Animal Testing in labs for their food lines, which Mars also commits acts of, the average mindless consumer (Zombie.) will laugh nervously and still purchase their animal's food from these monsters. 

Every active mind counts! 

WAKE UP! 

&quot;Vote with your dollar&quot;, refuse to purchase any products made by Pfizer, write them and let them know this, their existence as a corporation depends on the consumer. 

Hassle your local MP, let them this is not acceptable; we pay them $144,000+ a year to: &quot;represent us, not for them to represent Ottawa to us.&quot; in Justin Trudeau's words. 

Find ways to communicate with local farmers, let them know how bad this is getting and that they are key to avoiding the coming catastrophe. 
To summarize: 
Focus on simple solutions utilizing basic, currently available technologies which require no special skill or training to build and assemble in the average home. 

Learn to Learn, the more you can Learn to Learn the more you can Learn on your own through any activity, a human is a full spectrum animal, capable of a wide degree of activities and creative expressions; as such focusing on a single specialized talent is not desirable, but inevitable through the process of enjoyment/requirement of the activity/knowledge base involved. 

To specialize is still okay, as again, it will happen naturally and in groups works out well to bring balance to a project, but to focus exclusively on a specialized talent will blind to the growth of other natural talents. 

This means we are all engineers, designers, gardeners, artists, musicians, and so on, and to intertwine these multiple disciplines enables a support system for one to prop up the other, our society tends to separate these skill sets into different language systems/syntax, to mix them together will benefit our society as much as it did Ancient Egypt. 

I have established a data base of information on Aquaponics, Wicking Systems, various kinds of light bulbs and their effects, and more at Operation: Eden; which is a project that took around three or four years of very random research, life living and events to give birth to, and form into what it has become.

      <title>Sea die-out blamed on volcanoes </title>

      <description>Undersea volcanic activity has been blamed for a mass extinction in the seas 93 million years ago. 

In the so-called &quot;anoxic event&quot; of the late Cretaceous Period, the ocean depths became starved of oxygen, wiping out swathes of marine organisms. 

Researchers from the University of Alberta, Canada, found a tell-tale signature of underwater volcanism in rocks dating to the period. 

Their findings have been published in the journal Nature. 

At the time of the anoxic event, the average temperatures were higher than those of today, researchers say. 

Palm trees grew in what would later become Alaska and large reptiles roamed northern Canada. The Arctic Ocean was ice-free and scientists think it would have had a temperature we might describe today as lukewarm. 

However, the oceans were also hit by a mass extinction which wiped out a type of large clam common at the time as well as tiny ocean creatures known as foraminifera, which live on the sea floor. 

Ocean chemistry 

Helped by a sudden sluggish shift in ocean circulation, the remains of these minuscule organisms littered the sea bed in thick layers, and over geological time became transformed into oil. 

After the extinction, levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere dropped and Earth lurched into a sudden, but short-lived, period of cooling. 

Geologists have pondered for years as to the cause of this extraordinary eve

According to Steve Turgeon and Robert Creaser from Alberta's department of Earth and atmospheric sciences, the answer to the cataclysm lies in volcanic eruptions which took place on the ocean floor. 

These appear to have altered the chemistry of the sea and possibly of the atmosphere also. 

The clue can be found in levels of two forms, or isotopes, of osmium found in black shale rocks. 

The sedimentary rocks they analysed came from cores drilled from the sea bed off the coast of South America, and from mountains in Italy. 

Future warming 

The bed of the present-day Caribbean was formed by the huge lava flows thought to have been involved. However, the researchers say the flows would have preceded the extinction by up to 23,000 years. 

Two theories, which are not mutually exclusive, have emerged to explain the chemistry of what happened next, says Tim Bralower, a geologist at Pennsylvania State University, US, who reviewed the paper. 

One possibility is that the volcanoes spewed out metal-rich fluids that seeded the upper level of the ocean with micronutrients, he says. 

Tiny life forms on the sea surface, called phytoplankton, gorged on the food, and storing up carbon as they grew. They then sank to the sea floor and decayed, stripping the ocean of oxygen. 

The other is that the volcanoes disgorged clouds of CO2 to the atmosphere, warming the climate to the extent that Earth's ocean circulation system ground to a near-halt. 

Beyond the surface layers, water was no longer turned over and anoxia (lack of oxygen) was the result. 

Dr Bralower says that figuring out the post-volcanism scenario could help scientists wrestling with some of the unknowns of climate change today. 

These include the impact of higher temperatures on marine circulation and whether controversial schemes to sow the ocean with iron filings, to spur phytoplankton growth and thus soak up CO2 from the atmosphere, would ease warming or cause oxygen starvation in the ocean depths.

      <title>The new narrative of the Democrats: Blame lay-offs on corporate right-wing revenge.</title>

      <description>So much for private sector layoffs due to Obamacare being branded as &quot;rightwing corporate revenge&quot;.

Only a foolish person would have thought such nonsense to begin with, yet there are a lot of foolish people who resides in this country. The supporters of dear leader can't explain away that Obamacare is indeed what Republicans,conservatives and leading corporate and healthcare leaders said it was going to be all along, a &quot;jobs killer&quot;. Since they can't explain it, they are now in a pitiful effort trying to make it out to be a vast right wing CEO's revenge against the working man theory. That theory can only hold up as long as companies and business owners were known to have backed Mitt Romney. So what's going to be the excuse, when a company starts laying off workers who's CEO and executives were known to have been backing Barack Obama? Well, lets take Stryker Corporation for example. Strkyer is a medical equipment manufacture. Jon Stryker is the heir to the Stryker company. He's on the Forbes fortune 400 list of richest people with a net worth of $1.4 billion dollars. You know, I thought that the whole rich thing was suppose to have been exclusive to white republicans. Jon is a billionaire &quot;white Democrat&quot;. Anyways, Strkyer Corporation has announced it is going to be closing a plant and laying off workers as are result of the Obamacare excise tax. So why would a die hard progressive Democrat activist white billionaire support a person who' policy would be so harmful to his business? So could this be said that a Democrat cared more about getting Obama re elected then caring what was going to happen to his employees as a consequences? Since Jon was a donor and supporter of Obama, this puts to rest that Obamacare layoffs are just a right wing thing. It is simply a bad law that is impacting businesses regardless of political affiliation of the owners and CEO's of the companies.
Combine Stryker with the dozens of corporations who have announced huge layoffs within days after the election, it's a certain that the u3 unemployment rate will be back above 10% early in the new year. This isn't even close to being the tip of the iceberg. On a side note to what  is now the  &quot;new normal&quot; going forward, John Metz who is a Denny's franchisee owner of 48 Denny Restaurants has just announced that they are going to be charging a 5% surcharge on each customer's check to pay for Obamacare, and they will be cutting their employee's hours to deal with it. Obamacare dictates that any company which has full time employees must provide them with healthcare. Under Obamacare, a full time employee is considered anyone who works a minimum of &quot;30&quot; hours. In the real world, 40 hours is full time. The subheadline under the story by the Daily Mail explains it all.

&quot;The fast-food business owner is set to hold meetings at his restaurants in December where he will tell employees, 'that because of Obamacare, we are going to be cutting front-of-the-house employees to under 30 hours, effective immediately.'
Darden Restaurants which owns Red Lobster, Olive Garden and Long Horn Steak House was reported a few months ago that it was cutting back employee hours in certain restaurants as a test to see if it could become company policy nationwide in order to deal with Obamacare.

      <title>8 Deliberate Suicidal Steps Towards Hell on Earth</title>

Like you, I could spit nails over the current onslaught of horrific destruction being perpetrated by the insane powers that be. I don't think this can be screamed about enough. And more than that, we need to look the Endgame square in the face.

We've gone over these before, but let's do a quick recap of just a few aspects:

 1. Geoengineering and Terraforming . Filling our skies with toxic metal oxide chemtrails to use weather as a &quot;force multiplier&quot; in their drive to control earth. This includes engineered sea-killing algae blooms, atmospheric heaters and electromagnetic warfare causing mass animal die-offs and creating more desert areas worldwide. Then they HAARP it all up and spin, crack or fry anything in their path. Sick fuckers.

 2. Genetic Modification of anything they can get their hands on.  Now it's trees and shrubs, along with fish, animals and insects in addition to genetically destroying the food chain. Don't forget, all this ultimately changes the human genome. It's pure disgusting insanity.

 3. Release of previously banned pesticides and herbicides  that besides infecting the entire food chain is contributing to the decimation of the world's life-giving bee population, a sure indicator of an unsustainable food supply system.

 4. Mindless medication at any cost and for any reason . Vaccines, drugs, poisoned water and foods and toxic air. All clearly nti-life.

 5. Delirious raping of earth's resources , including poisoning the water table through fracking, killing the oceans with oil and waste, and putting banned toxic substances on it to boot to cover up their perfidy...just for starters...

 6. Electromagnetic soup  is swirling around screwing and growing stronger by the day with humanity, set deliberately on the same frequency as the human nervous system...be it cell phones and towers, WIFI, smart meters, GWEN towers and the like.

 7. War and more war . Besides the rapacious and wonton mass and often robotic destruction by more and more weapons technologies in the hands of mad war lords, the use of depleted uranium and other highly toxic materials is rendering huge areas of our planet unusable for generations to come, while horribly mutating babies and children.

 8. The nuclear kill shot:  If all that's not enough, why not build high profit poorly planned nuclear time bombs around the world producing enough nuclear waste to destroy the world hundreds of times over-while &quot;testing&quot; atomic bomb devices thousands of times in our delicate atmosphere for decades?

  Why? Open Your Mind, We Have Serious Enemies  

 


This is where we need to really stand back and see what's really going on. We need to attack each of these issues any way we can, but obviously these idiots are in collusion with one another politically, financially, economically...and most of all, spiritually.

And very likely with another inter-dimensional source.

So why would anyone or anything on this inhabited planet behave so deliberately irresponsibly and destructively? And don't give me that corporate bankster greed coverall. Sure that's part of the cause and what's used to get the lower levels on board. When you connect the dots you can see there's much more than that going on.

What's their end game? They've stored good non-modified seeds in a vault in Norway. The elites have their food and riches in giant underground vaults with accompanying bases. All documented.

So what's the plan? Just kill off the earth and this superfluous, unwanted 90+% population overflow they so disdain while they wait it out underground? Are they that crazy?

Or do they also know of a coming cataclysm where earth is set off  of its axis or something of that sort?

Or both? Idiotic any way you look at this display of psychotic self-serving behavior.


We're Talking Surreal, Folks

Unfortunately what I'm laying out here is well documented. They haven't even hardly tried to hide it. They just don't let it into mainstream consciousness as their media mongrel watchdogs keep everyone watching Disney froth or the phony political bullshit. Very well orchestrated, but absolutely insane.

Machiavellian even falls short. Satanic beyond your wildest dreams is more like it.

Where's this coming from? Insane means &quot;unclean&quot;. But more than that we're talking non human. That's why people can't grasp the depths or motivation behind all this. And no, not everyone being used is in on the full plan or are aware of that.

It's all compartmentalized. Many times over.

This driving force to subdue our world into a totally controlled energy unit to be vamped has been around for millennia. From this beyond fascist &quot;order&quot; they hope to create this pseudo-spiritual Satanic techno-race that will want to no doubt conquer other races and planets and solar systems. This is what NWO insider spokes-scientist Michio Kaku calls a Type 2 civilization.


Yes, It's Hard To Believe

It's hard to believe we're on a planet with such psychopathic, parasitic control freaks whose sole aim is domination for their selfish purposes. When the vast majority of the world are loving, caring and sharing compassionate individuals, you have to consider this an invasive or mutant species that needs to be exposed and put in its place.

Fast and furious, to use a phrase properly...

Instead the world has been carefully lulled into voluntary submission. Just as they designed. Their ultimate M.O. is for us to conform or die. Mostly die is how they want it at this point. Those who remain they want to be &quot;transhuman&quot;. In fact, they're so recklessly pursuing their megalomaniacal plan they don't care what humanity morphs into, as long as it's shrunken to a manageable half billion dumbed-down fully controllable batch of chipped up nano particled droids.

All possible with genetic engineering, drugs, and invasive nano and computer implant technology.  And driven by a deeply occult-scientific agenda.
  Epilogue - Popular Kickback Is Good  

When societies face these types of scenarios, from the decimation of the planet to draconian clamp downs, it always has a powerful kickback effect. When it starts to become so in your face obvious to a broader and broader swathe of people, the wake up accelerates exponentially.

We need to fan those flames of Truth and Freedom by feeding those awakening with empowering information!

Truth and Love always win in the long run. The test is within you and your life. When you get it you'll change and be motivated to reach out to others. And on it goes.

Keep on, folks! We need to step on it in these final laps around the track. They're itching to pull the plug on the internet so get the word out while you can!

Screw the bastards and their fear and confusion agenda. Be strong and affirmative and full of love and confidence.</description>

      <description>Deep in the desert of southern California sits one of the worst environmental sites in America-a former tourist destination that has turned into a toxic soup: the Salton Sea.

The sea was born by accident 100 years ago, when the Colorado River breached an irrigation canal; for the next two years the entire volume of the river flowed into the Salton Sink, one of the lowest places on Earth. The new lake became a major tourist attraction, with resort towns springing up along its shores. Yet with no outflow, and with agricultural runoff serving as its only inflow, the sea's waters grew increasingly toxic. Farm chemicals and ever-increasing salinity caused massive fish and bird die-offs. Use of the sea for recreational activities plummeted, and by the 1980s its tourist towns were all but abandoned.

The skeletons of these structures are still there; ghost towns encrusted in salt. California officials acknowledge that if billions of dollars are not spent to save it, the sea could shrink another 60 percent in the next 20 years, exposing soil contaminated with arsenic and other cancerous chemicals to strong winds. Should that dust become airborne, it would blow across much of southern California, creating an environmental calamity.</description>

The Answers are everywhere, up to the people to take the action, 
People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.
Evolution or Mankind? 
Many can argue this. What if ? What do you think?

Barium
4.1.4. Vegetation and wildlife Despite relatively high concentrations in soils, only
a limited amount of barium accumulates in plants. Barium
is actively taken up by legumes, grain stalks, forage
plants, red ash leaves, and the black walnut, hickory, and
brazil nut trees. The Douglas fir tree and plants of the
genus Astragallu also accumulate barium. No studies of
barium particle uptake from the air have been reported,
although vegetation is capable of removing significant
amounts of contaminants from the atmosphere. Plant leaves
act only as deposition sites for particulate matter. There
is no evidence that barium is an essential element in
plants (Reeves, 1979). (No information is available on barium levels in wild-
life.)

&quot;It
 is an obsolete gas weapon which was first developed by the Germans in 
WWI. (We gave Saddam Hussein thousands of tons of this crap for use 
against the Iranians in the Iraq/Iran war). It is essentially a &quot;lung 
agent.&quot; But, unless you get a really good dose, chances are it will not 
kill you, but it will disable you -- Which is the whole idea. But that 
is another subject.

&quot;It takes some time for it to &quot;reveal 
itself&quot;-usually a couple of days after exposure. By then, considerable 
damage has been done to the lungs of the victim.

&quot;Why Phosgene? 
If you wanted to murder millions clearly you do not want it to be 
obvious. So, you would not use some of the more lethal nerve agents 
which can kill very quickly.

&quot;Ideally, you would use a biological agent, and then blame the epidemic on &quot;natural causes.&quot;

&quot;So, how do you prepare the victims for this biological assault.

&quot;If
 this is a multi stage weapon, the use of phosgene would make sense. 
Here is why. Because of the multi year chemtrailing program, people 
already have compromised immune systems. They have reduced levels of 
Vitamin D in their bodies. And the presence of Aluminum and Barium and 
other heavy metals, further retards the effectiveness of the immune 
system. No doubt Phosgene will damage human lungs and if it is sprayed 
in a low enough concentration the victims will just assume that they 
have a bad case of bronchitis. The combination of a retarded immune 
system and damaged lungs is the one-two punch prior to the introduction 
of a &quot;designer&quot; biological agent.

      <description>SALMON, Idaho - A record number of big-game animals perished this winter in parts of Montana, Idaho and Wyoming from a harsh season of unusually heavy snows and sustained cold in the Northern Rockies, state wildlife managers say.

&quot;Elk, deer and moose -- those animals are having a pretty tough time,&quot; said Wyoming Game and Fish biologist Doug Brimeyer.

Snow and frigid temperatures in pockets of Idaho, Montana and Wyoming arrived earlier and lingered longer than usual, extending the time that wildlife were forced to forage on low reserves for scarce food, leading more of them to starve.

Based on aerial surveys of big-game herds and signals from radio-collared animals, experts are documenting high mortality among offspring of mule deer, white-tailed deer and pronghorn antelope.

This comes as big-game animals enter the last stretch of a period from mid-March through early May that is considered critical for survival.

Wildlife managers estimate die-offs in the tens of thousands across thousands of square miles that span prairie in northeastern Montana, the upper Snake River basin in Idaho near Yellowstone National Park and the high country of northwestern Wyoming near the exclusive resort of Jackson.

      <title>The 10 Leading Theories For Dead Birds And Fish</title>

      <dc:creator>boomersooner</dc:creator>
      <description>As the mainstream media attempts to downplay the latest die-off event, which has now gone global, it is worthwhile to keep track of the story lines.

Mainstream Explanations: Lightning, hail, mid-air collision, power lines, and New Year fireworks for the birds . . . but disease for the fish.  This is even rolling eyes in the mainstream media.  Birds are incredibly sensitive to their environment (think Canary in the coal mine), and the thought that they were caught by surprise, or that they &quot;fowled&quot; up their flight pattern is patently ridiculous.  And where are the roasted birds from this lightning strike?  And what about fish dying in the same region?  Just a &quot;disease&quot; coincidence.  One mainstream headline has to be enshrined as the saddest attempt at sensationalism, while revealing an obvious natural conclusion Falling Birds Likely Died From Massive Trauma.  Really?

Meteor showers: We are in a period of intense seasonal meteor showers, and several perennial YouTubers reported hearing sonic booms in the area that could have indicated a local shock wave.  This would be one non-conspiratorial, natural cause that actually makes sense, but it is hard to connect to both birds and fish, unless it produced a disabling frequency.  There were indeed other sound anomalies according to the report highlighted above.

New Madrid Fault Line: An excellent article by The American Dream collated data about the recent earthquake activity along this fault line that runs along the mid-eastern section of the U.S.  Combined with gas fracking, the immense geological activity in the region, and the BP oil drilling disaster, which off-gassed the dispersant, Corexit, into the atmosphere, and we should be wondering about any mass deaths in the region.  Nevertheless, this has turned into a global event, so the above could be a side effect of something larger, or a direct contributing factor.

Government testing: The long history of government testing has been exposed by many researchers.  The strange component to this die-off is that only certain species have been affected, but within the entire region.  And some reports have indicated that the organs of these birds were liquefied, which could indicate a possible virus. Could this implicate species-specific bio-weapons? It is on record that discussions have taken place about race-specific bio-weapons; perhaps this is a test of delivery capability?

GMO mutation: Mike Adams of Natural News sets forth an interesting theory: this latest event is local, but the die-offs are happening across species as bee populations and bats are also declining.  Adams points out that Monsanto has a corporate office in Arkansas.  Just wondering.

Geoengineering: Could spraying in the area have caused this type of fallout?  Perhaps something new added to the mixture? Chemtrails have quickly moved from conspiracy theory to documented fact.  So much so, that the powers-that-be have had to admit to the program, but a beneficial one in their view.  Between cloud seeding and possible connections to HAARP, chemtrail fallout must be considered, especially as it is being conducted nearly worldwide.  Rosalind Peterson has been at the forefront of connecting geoengineering to GMOs as a combined source for oxygen-depleting algae blooms that very well could affect a wide spectrum of natural systems. Furthermore, some believe that the delivery system for chemtrails can also disperse pathogens.  If there is a flu or disease outbreak in the coming days or weeks among the human population in areas where the birds have fallen, the chemtrail connection could be made.  If this happens, the contagion could be blamed on a new, deadly bird flu.  A last possibility connected to chemtrails would be nanoparticles.

HAARP: Birds and fish can be susceptible to subtle frequency alteration.  An interesting YouTube post from a long-time fisherman mentioned the &quot;pearl&quot; plate behind the eye of the affected type of drum fish in this event.  He made a plea for anyone in the area to look for signs of damage to this plate.  Both birds and fish navigate in highly coordinated ways that indicate that they move and communicate via frequencies.  Could the HAARP array in Alaska have short-circuited their navigation systems?  Or, perhaps this is the beginning of a cascading effect from decades of electromagnetic pollution emanating from EMF and ELF waves shot around the planet via a wide range of modern communications.

Scalar Weapons: These directed energy beam weapons can be deployed via satellite and create a wide range of &quot;natural disasters&quot; that can be tuned to certain frequencies.  Their radius is reported to be several miles.  Even crazier is that we have been told that the dead birds encountered massive trauma.  One of the reported abilities of scalar weapons is to create a Tesla shield of plasma, like a bubble, that could explode anything that enters its airspace.  Some have speculated that this technology is in full operation.  But what if it truly is still at the testing phase?  Remember, this is happening in South America, too.

Project Blue Beam: Were they testing a sound generator for the global theater of alien invasion?  This one is &quot;out there&quot; for sure, but NASA itself has announced its preparation for such a scenario. Project Blue Beam, like its counterpart HAARP, uses the natural energy present in the ionosphere as both a visual and acoustical device.  Again, perhaps they are not at the ready stage yet, but, like Tesla, have made an unintentional misstep.

Geomagnetic and other Earth changes: As anyone can see from the above range of possibilities, we are facing an array of human tampering.  However, the backdrop to this are the anomalies beginning to take form with the apparent wandering of our magnetic pole, as even National Geographic reported that the north magnetic pole is racing toward Russia.  Add to this a dwindling magnetosphere and falling oxygen levels, and the deaths among more delicate species might portend a larger problem.  Finally, an increase in sun activity and magnetic storms might be weakening our overall natural habitat.

The widespread die-off of nature should lead us to look more intently at the world around us, and to question our relationship to it, and our effect upon it. Perhaps this is what we should have been doing all along.

      <title>Underwater Photographer Takes Video of Aggressive Jumbo Squid Near San Diego</title>
      <pubDate>Fri, 17 Jul 2009 02:29:42 -0400</pubDate>
      <link>http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=6ae_1247810168</link>
      <dc:creator>bellava</dc:creator>
      <description>Thousands of jumbo flying squid-aggressive 5-foot-long sea monsters with razor-sharp beaks and toothy tentacles-have invaded the shallow waters off San Diego, spooking scuba divers and washing up dead on tourist-packed beaches.

 Roger Uzun, a veteran scuba diver and amateur underwater videographer, swam with a swarm of the creatures for about 20 minutes and said they appeared more curious than aggressive. The animals taste with their tentacles, he said, and seemed to be touching him and his wet suit to determine if he was edible.

&quot;As soon as we went underwater and turned on the video lights, there they were. They would ram into you, they kept hitting the back of my head,&quot; he said.

&quot;One got ahold of the video light head and yanked on it for two or three seconds and he was actually trying to take the video light with him,&quot; said Uzun, who later posted a 3-minute video with his underwater footage on YouTube. &quot;It almost knocked the video camera out of my hands.&quot;

Scientists aren't sure why the squid, which generally live in deep, tropical waters off Mexico and Central America, are swarming off the Southern California coast-but they are concerned.

In recent years, small numbers have been spotted from California to Sitka, Alaska-an alarming trend that scientists believe could be caused by anything from global warming to a shortage of food or a decline in the squid's natural predators.

In 2005, a similar invasion off San Diego delighted fisherman and, in 2002, thousands of jumbo flying squid washed up on the beaches here. That year, workers removed 12 tons of dead and dying squid.

This summer, the wayward squid have also been hauled up by fisherman in waters off Orange County, just north of San Diego.

Research suggests the squid may have established a year-round population off California at depths of 300 to 650 feet, said Nigella Hillgarth, executive director of the Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

Swarms off the coast-and the subsequent die-offs-may occur when their prey moves to shallow waters and the squid follow, and then get trapped and confused in the surf, said Hillgarth, who saw a dying squid on the beach last weekend.

&quot;It was an amazing privilege to touch a creature like that and see how amazingly beautiful it was,&quot; she said. &quot;They have these wonderful eyes. ... They look all-seeing, all-knowing.&quot;

That's the kind of description that pulls veteran divers such as Raleigh Moody back to the pitch-black water, despite the danger.

&quot;My usual dive buddy, he didn't want to come out,&quot; said Moody, as he prepared for a night dive with another friend. &quot;There are some divers (who) just don't want to deal with it and there are some like me that, until they hear of something bad happening, I'm going to be an idiot and go back in the water.&quot;</description>

      <title>Honeybees under attack on all fronts </title>
      <pubDate>Tue, 17 Feb 2009 05:18:07 -0500</pubDate>

      <description>THE world's honeybees appear to be dying off in horrifying numbers, and now consensus is starting to emerge on the reason why: it seems there is no one cause. Infections, lack of food, pesticides and breeding - none catastrophic on their own - are having a synergistic effect, pushing bee survival to a lethal tipping point. A somewhat anti-climactic conclusion it may be, but appreciating this complexity - and realising there will be no magic bullet - may be the key to saving the insects.

A third of our food relies on bees for pollination. Both the US and UK report losing a third of their bees last year. Other European countries have seen major die-offs too: Italy, for example, said it lost nearly half its bees last year. The deaths are now spreading to Asia, with reports in India and suspected cases in China.

But while individual &quot;sub-lethal stresses&quot; such as infections are implicated, we know little about how they add together. The situation should become clearer in the next few years as the US government, the EU and others are pouring money into bee research. The UK, for example, has doubled its annual research budget, allocating lb400,000 a year for the next five years.

On top of that, the UK National Bee Unit will get lb2.3 million to map the problem. This money is urgently needed, says Peter Neumann of the Swiss Bee Research Centre in Berne, who runs COLLOSS, a network of researchers studying colony loss in 36 countries. &quot;We don't have the data to assess the situation in Europe, never mind the world,&quot; he says.

The main stress facing bees is the varroa mite, a parasite from Siberia that has now spread everywhere but Australia. Mite infestations steeply reduce bees' resistance to viral infection. Worryingly, the mites are developing resistance to the pesticides used to control them, forcing beekeepers to use methods that are often less effective.

French and German beekeepers blame their losses on insecticides called neonicotinoids - but France banned them 10 years ago and its bees are still dying. Neumann suspects a wider problem, citing experiments showing that agricultural chemicals that are safe for bees when used alone are lethal in combination. &quot;Farmers increasingly combine sprays,&quot; he says. They also leave few flowering weeds, depriving bees of essential nutrients from different kinds of pollen, he adds.

Meanwhile viruses may cause a syndrome dubbed colony collapse disorder (CCD) in the US, in which adult bees abandon their hive, leaving the healthy queen and young bees to die. Diana Cox-Foster of Penn State University in University Park, where the syndrome was first identified, says viruses, including one called IAPV, duplicate the symptoms of CCD in her greenhouse studies. There is no IAPV or CCD in the UK, says Mike Brown of the National Bee Unit, yet bees are still dying.

At the root of the vulnerability to these stresses could be the way breeding has affected the bees' genetic make-up. By being highly selected for calmness and honey production, honeybees have lost other useful characteristics, says Francis Ratnieks of the University of Sussex, UK. In research to be published in the journal Heredity, he describes a way to breed for &quot;hygienic&quot; bees that, unlike most commercial bees, clear out infected young and can resist varroa mites.
