POST 392 D CATCH UP

Hello Folks How many times have the authorities denied Chemtrails, well here it 40 years later and all the conspirator's and their theories about chemtrails were certainly known as the law states and other 'exotic weaponry' every statute and clause has been broken. I am lost for words.

After all this time

Chemtrails have officially arrived  to cool the earth. What was once lambasted as a conspiracy theory is now in plain view, headquartered at NOAA and backed by Congressional funding.
Climate alarmists seem bent on destroying the earth as they have now institutionalized meddling with the atmosphere. If the people of the world do not stop this madness, we can only hope that the earth is resilient enough to bounce back from these parasitic attacks.

                                 A BILL


 
To preserve the cooperative, peaceful uses of space for the benefit of 
all humankind by permanently prohibiting the basing of weapons in space 
 by the United States, and to require the President to take action to 
    adopt and implement a world treaty banning space-based weapons.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Space Preservation Act of 2001''.

SEC. 2. REAFFIRMATION OF POLICY ON THE PRESERVATION OF PEACE IN SPACE.

    Congress reaffirms the policy expressed in section 102(a) of the 
National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958 (42 U.S.C. 2451(a)), stating 
that it ``is the policy of the United States that activities in space 
should be devoted to peaceful purposes for the benefit of all 
mankind.''.

SEC. 3. PERMANENT BAN ON BASING OF WEAPONS IN SPACE.

    The President shall--
            (1) implement a permanent ban on space-based weapons of the 
        United States and remove from space any existing space-based 
        weapons of the United States; and
            (2) immediately order the permanent termination of research 
        and development, testing, manufacturing, production, and 
        deployment of all space-based weapons of the United States and 
        their components.

SEC. 4. WORLD AGREEMENT BANNING SPACE-BASED WEAPONS.

    The President shall direct the United States representatives to the 
United Nations and other international organizations to immediately 
work toward negotiating, adopting, and implementing a world agreement 
banning space-based weapons.

SEC. 5. REPORT.

    The President shall submit to Congress not later than 90 days after 
the date of the enactment of this Act, and every 90 days thereafter, a 
report on--
            (1) the implementation of the permanent ban on space-based 
        weapons required by section 3; and
            (2) progress toward negotiating, adopting, and implementing 
        the agreement described in section 4.

SEC. 6. NON SPACE-BASED WEAPONS ACTIVITIES.

    Nothing in this Act may be construed as prohibiting the use of 
funds for--
            (1) space exploration;
            (2) space research and development;
            (3) testing, manufacturing, or production that is not 
        related to space-based weapons or systems; or
            (4) civil, commercial, or defense activities (including 
        communications, navigation, surveillance, reconnaissance, early 
        warning, or remote sensing) that are not related to space-based 
        weapons or systems.

SEC. 7. DEFINITIONS.

    In this Act:
            (1) The term ``space'' means all space extending upward 
        from an altitude greater than 60 kilometers above the surface 
        of the earth and any celestial body in such space.
            (2)(A) The terms ``weapon'' and ``weapons system'' mean a 
        device capable of any of the following:
                    (i) Damaging or destroying an object (whether in 
                outer space, in the atmosphere, or on earth) by--
                            (I) firing one or more projectiles to 
                        collide with that object;
                            (II) detonating one or more explosive 
                        devices in close proximity to that object;
                            (III) directing a source of energy 
                        (including molecular or atomic energy,

                        (ELF) or ultra low frequency (ULF) energy 
                        radiation) against that object; or
                            (IV) any other unacknowledged or as yet 
                        undeveloped means.
                    (ii) Inflicting death or injury on, or damaging or 
                destroying, a person (or the biological life, bodily

                or tectonic weapons.
            (C) The term ``exotic weapons systems'' includes weapons 
        designed to damage space or natural ecosystems (such as the 
        ionosphere and upper atmosphere) or climate, weather, and 
        tectonic systems with the purpose of inducing damage or 
        destruction upon a target population or region on earth or in 
        space.
                                 
Take note under Definitions Bii 'Chemtrails.
On a personal note I was issued a subpoena in 2018 and 2019 early in the year to testify chemtrails existed as all governments denied they existed and I was shamed and named as a conspiracy nerd and freak. Many more of my POSTS will be proved non conspiratorial as the opening up occurs. 
Recent allegations of fraud committed by one of the most prolific researchers in perioperative medicine, Don Poldermans, have left many clinicians in a state of disbelief …
The effects of fraud in perioperative medicine are particularly caustic owing to a profound domino effect. Many investigators devoted their academic careers to following the footsteps of investigators such as Poldermans.
Similarly, funding agencies supported this line of enquiry, incurring significant cost and expense. Most importantly, hundreds of patients were exposed to treatments that may have been harmful in an effort to advance this research agenda …
Because research misconduct in perioperative medicine can be so damaging, we present strategies to prevent such events in the future. Without such reform, fraud in research may very well continue. The price for such misconduct is simply too great to pay."

Policy makers, researchers, and funders need to think about corruption as an important area of research in the same way we think about diseases. If we are really aiming to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and ensure healthy lives for all, corruption in global health must no longer be an open secret," Garcia writes.14
"Corruption is an open secret known around the world that is systemic and spreading. Over two-thirds of countries are considered endemically corrupt according to Transparency International … Corruption in the health sector is more dangerous than in any other sector because it is literally deadly …
It is estimated that, each year, corruption takes the lives of at least 140,000 children, worsens antimicrobial resistance, and undermines all of our efforts to control communicable and non-communicable diseases. Corruption is an ignored pandemic."

"It is estimated that the world spends more than US$7 trillion on health services, and that at least 10-25% of global spending is lost directly through corruption, representing hundreds of billions of dollars lost each year.
These billions lost to corruption exceed WHO's estimations of the amount needed annually to fill the gap in assuring universal health coverage globally by 2030. However, the true cost of corruption for people is impossible to quantify because it can mean the difference between wellness and illness, and life and death," Garcia writes.

The above are some of the highlights from the link and video.


Please read  and digest that H.R.2977 carefully these are crimes against humanity. This is indeed psychotic madness and conspiracy people are called crazy. The Space Fleet has been let out and let us see what else will be revealed. The Deep State no longer cares for our welfare we are mere pawns in the game, guinea pigs and  fodder for these large Global Corporations, they have no allegiance to a faith, a country or politics and as you see they just do as they please.

ADDENDUM
THE HONEY BEE’S PLEA

The honey bee in the banner at the top of this newsletter has been speaking to us for over one hundred and fourteen years. Its numbers ever diminishing, its message ever more urgent, it waits for a sleeping world to finally listen. “Now!” it says. “Wake up before it’s too late, there is no more time!”

On the
Isle of Wight, off the southern coast of England, Giuglielmo Marconi built the world’s first permanent radio station. And the bees’ first warning to humanity was heard. “They are often to be seen crawling up grass stems, or up the supports of the hive, where they remain until they fall back to the earth from sheer weakness, and soon afterwards die,” wrote Augustus Imms of Christ’s College, Cambridge in 1906. Ninety percent of the bees had already vanished from the entire island. Unable to find a cause, he called it, simply, Isle of Wight disease. Swarms of healthy bees were imported from the mainland, but it was of no use: within a week the fresh bees were dying off by the thousands.

The description, more than a century later, is exactly the same. On
November 19, 2019, a 5G antenna was placed 250 meters from Angela’s house in Melbourne, Australia. “I photographed the new mast going onto the cell tower,” she writes, “and the next day, I was in the driveway talking to our carpenter, and we saw bees dropping on the driveway then dying. I managed to film one trying to collect pollen, but it was hanging upside down and could not seem to make it to the centre of the flower, then it rolled off the petals to the ground.”

Today, two months later, their beautiful garden, full of old world trees and plants, is silent and barren. “We have no insects -- none,” wrote Angela last week. “Our cumquat once laden all year has no new fruit coming. No olives on the way on our olive tree so laden last year. We dug soil yesterday -- no worms either -- nothing -- all gone. I walked the dog late tonight, it was dark and a poor magpie was down the street under a street lamp hoping for a cricket I think. It was silent. I took birdseed back but the bird had gone -- it must be hungry to be out at night.”

In the midst of plenty the bees are starving to death. In 2009, Neelima Kumar, at
Panjab University in India, placed cell phones in some bee hives and turned them on for ten minutes. The concentrations of glucose, cholesterol, total carbohydrates, total lipids and total proteins rose precipitously in the bees’ blood. After just ten minutes’ exposure to a cell phone, the bees were not able to digest their food, or use the oxygen they were breathing. Their metabolism had come to a standstill.

“Wake up!” say the bees.

“Wake up!” said parents with their children who assembled last Saturday at the Church on the Roundabout in Newport on the Isle of Wight to protest plans to turn their island into a Smart Island -- to bring Isle of Wight disease back to the island of its birth.

Radio waves are poison to life. They penetrate skin and bones, cell walls and mitochondria. They prevent electrons from our food from combining with the oxygen we breathe. They give us diabetes, and heart disease, and cancer. They disorient migratory birds, and they kill outright tiny forms of life that pollinate flowers and have high rates of metabolism.

In the mid-1990s, the invisible fire that Marconi had lit became a conflagration. For the first time in human history, radio waves began to be broadcast not only from tall towers scattered widely across the landscape, but from the hands of men, women and children everywhere. And in 2020 this has brought us to the brink of extinction -- not just of bees, and not just of humanity, but of all life on Earth.

I asked, in a previous newsletter, “which do we want more: our phones or our planet?” There is only one sane answer. I ask all of you who are reading this newsletter to join with me in putting this world back on a path to survival by throwing away your cell phones, now, today. Not next year, and not tomorrow. Today. There is no other option. Tomorrow we can deal, if we dare, with climate change. But if we are to have time to answer that urgent call, we must first deal with this emergency. We must extinguish this fire.

I vote for life. Do you?

SLOVENIA VOTES FOR LIFE, AT LEAST FOR NOW

Last Friday, while people in 250 cities were preparing for the first Global Day of Protest against 5G, Slovenia became the first country in the world to refuse 5G, at least temporarily, because of objections from scientists and the public. The Ministry of Public Administration had called a four-hour Public Consultation on Radiation Aspects in Ensuring the Operation of 5G Technologies. Among the speakers were Gregor Kos, president of the political party, Za zdravo družbo (For a Healthy Society), and Igor Šajn from Stavbna biologija Slovenije (Building Biology of Slovenia).

The four-hour meeting lasted six hours. The Minister for Public Administration, Rudy Medved, announced that
Slovenia is officially postponing the implementation of 5G in his country “due to possible health effects of EMFs.”

On Monday, the Prime Minister of Slovenia resigned, which means that there will be new elections held, probably in April, and that 5G will be the main issue for Gregor Kos’s political party in the elections. On March 10, his party will bring in scientific experts from other countries for an all-day event on the health and environmental effects of 5G, which will take place in the Slovenia National Council (the upper house of Parliament) and will be broadcast live on national television.

60 MORE SATELLITES WERE LAUNCHED TODAY

This morning, at 9:06 a.m., SpaceX launched another 60 “Starlink” satellites, bringing the number of these satellites in low orbit around the Earth up to 240. These are already streaking photographic plates at observatories around the world, although they are not even one percent of what SpaceX is ultimately planning. SpaceX already has permission from the Federal Communications Commission to litter our night skies with 12,000 satellites, has applied for an incredible total of 42,000, and is now launching them, 60 at a time, twice a month, indefinitely into the future, unless someone puts a stop to it. If they are all launched, they will far outnumber the approximately 9,000 visible stars, and will be brighter than all but 172 of them.

This act of global vandalism threatens to put an end to astronomy, and to ruin the night sky forever for all of humanity, for migratory birds that orient themselves by the stars, and for all other creatures who enjoy life under the eternal unchanging sky.

This act of global vandalism also threatens to bring about the sudden extinction of all or most life on the surface of the Earth, as the 12,000+ satellites will be located in the Earth’s ionosphere, and will emit extremely powerful pulsating beams of radiation into it. The ionosphere is a source of high voltage, charged at all times to an average 300,000 volts. It controls the global electrical circuit which connects every living thing -- bird, animal, tree and human -- to the Earth and sky; the electrical circuit that courses through our veins, which the Chinese call qi, and the Indians call prana. An eternal circuit of life that has been gentle and unchanging for three billion years.

The Astronomers’ Appeal, called Safeguarding the Astronomical Sky, launched just a few weeks ago, already has 1,300 signatures of professional astronomers from 48 countries. They are asking for the Starlink project to be put on hold, immediately, and for all governments to abide by international treaties -- the same treaties that are invoked in the International Appeal to Stop 5G on Earth and in Space:

The Outer Space Treaty of 1967 requires that the use of outer space be conducted “so as to avoid [its] harmful contamination and also adverse changes in the environment of the Earth.”

The United Nations Guidelines for the Long-term Sustainability of Outer Space Activities (2018) requires users of outer space to address “risks to people, property, public health and the environment associated with the launch, in-orbit operation and re-entry of space objects.”

“THE INVISIBLE RAINBOW: A HISTORY OF ELECTRICITY AND LIFE”
WILL BE IN BOOKSTORES ON MARCH 2

The book that I published in hardcover on Earth Day of 2017 has been picked up by Chelsea Green, the environmental publishing house. They are publishing a paperback edition that will go on sale on March 2, 2020. It will be available in the USA and the UK from Chelsea Green, as well as from Amazon and bookstores.

I wrote this book in order to tell a history that has never been told before, and to explain to a stubborn world just what it is that makes everyone’s lights turn on, and their appliances run; what it is that we have been sending through wires and broadcasting through the air without a thought; what it is that we are holding in our hands, giving to our children to play with, and pressing against our heads. I wrote it to describe to a world in peril what life was once like, and what it could be like again -- if we wake up in time.

About 370 copies of the hardcover edition are left. They can be purchased from me until they are sold out.

POST 392 C MORE THAN 5G AND FAR OUT SPECULATION

OOH WELCOME and hold tight.


I am going out on a limb here and I expect howls of derision and fake, conspiracy and all he rest of it--go on I can take it---although  I would rather not.  Usually those who hurl abuse and threats are frightened and are challenged by their own tight clenched bottoms and fists getting red and heart palpitations as they see this maniac spouting off on an unproved provocative narrative of sheer unbelief and madness.
Never the less I do not deny or shut out opposition and discussion and research will justify one or the other but denial and threats prove the opposition of little but holding fast to media and cultural constipation and at best verbal poisonous acrimony and diarrhoea. So poop away. 

Way back when Russia was said to be responsible for the Novichok poisoning of the Skripals in Salisbury which you can read in depth in; POST 349 More Robotics July 3rd 2018, Post 349 A Urgent Update July 4th July 2018, Post 349 B 9th July 2018 and Post 349 C Special 27th July 2018 you will see the conspiracy over Novichok and the samples sent to four OPCW appointed laboratories and they all were adamant that it was a Novichok derivative but not from where BUT  the Swiss laboratory Spiez said it was probably BZ and you can read all about this further way back in POST 354 A Extra special 11th. September 2018,  Post 354 C Jazz or Classic 19th September 2018. 
 Then look at this; 

The brilliant Corbett Report on the Third Annual Fake News Award
2019 not only humorous but astoundingly brilliant
So we see that the OPCW is politically biased and has been caught out over lies about Douma in Syria and the banning of the Russian Olympic team for four years.
So it will be interesting if they get involved in this allegedly stealing of the corona virus and investigating of Porton Down in the UK which hasn't arisen yet as they say the Skripal case is on going.
NOW if you read what Boris Johnson said at the Salisbury attack can you trust this man as a prime minister or anything and what was he was privy too before the attack again see back Posts mentioned?

In our research in our lab which was closed down once over the Stargate / wormhole / black hole experiments we opened up with fresh personal and went into 5G and I reported it in back Posts and climate change with the Cosmic Rays and 6th extinction, however  our latest finding are startling; apart form biological weapons now being brought into the political arena and another set of 'sanctions and threats'and money making rubbing of gleeful hands by Big Pharma and another set of vaccines (remember the SARS vaccine and the non take up of it and later  on sold as the flu virus vaccine) 
In my research it is postulated that chemtrails might have been the carrier of bacteria and viral infections and also using aluminium to reflect and bounce certain adjutants back, now I believe if you see the latest research on frequencies and capturing the frequencies as Peter Gariav has shown then 5G could facilitate as a carrier wave and the internet carry a ' Digital Frequency Viral Mode  another  reason not to do Fibre Optics which are faster and less EMF fog that WI FI and Smart devices, also does not have the surveillance capacity in the same way.

Then there is Elon Musk's 'Starlink' satellites and his vision of 50,000 satellites to form a spacial internet and I wonder what he has in them as well. Astronomers are complaining about them see back Posts.

May I stress all views here are my own and any resemblance or any already published is not my plagiarism and is entirely accidental and innocent of malicious intent.  
In the above image the brain has magnetite which is the Earth's most natural magnetic ore and is found in crystalline form in the brain albeit liquid crystal and of course and our research has found nano particles of it. Our research shows that 5G is 'attracted to  magnetite' by association with micro waves and electrical fields bearing mind where there is magnetism there is electricity and vice versa.
Courtesy  Physics and Radio -electronics 
I will leave my research at that and say that a connection between capturing the frequencies of organic matter and inorganic matter and using 'wave' technology and instead of say using syringes one just like StarTrek uses a frequency generator like a remote TV hand control / device is the 'secret' and using carrier waves (research basic radio broadcasting and the modulation of carrier waves which piggyback voice / music and so on) is the latest and part of the so called 'phantom wave' that Russian scientists have found.   
So digital and wave technology can carry all sorts of information in coded frequencies as does fibre optics to your computer and cell / mobile phones and the frequencies below.
Bioelectric Resonance Frequency

Motor Control Cortex                      10Hz                    Information Induced through Modulation                  

Auditory Cortex                               15Hz                   Motor Impulse coordinator

Visual Cortex                                   25Hz                   Images on the brain by passing the eye. 

Somalosensory                                 9Hz                     Phantom touch sense.

Thought Center                                20Hz                   Imposed subconscious thoughts.

These are from panel underneath very old copy  above. Now all this far more advanced.

To conclude you might to look at POST 340 YOU NEVER KNOW April 4th 2018 on more on magnetite in the brain and body and references to to other work in this field.
Remembering these are invisible energies and frequencies and unless you have equipment or a sensitive of and above psychic ability it would be difficult to ascertain whether it  is hypnosis, subliminal, ego brain washed, childhood or trauma.
The key is deep meditation---not imagery, intentionising,mantra, yantra, mandala, affirmations, prayer, suppression, distraction or depression, another reason to ditch WI FI  and wireless tech and get at least wired and protest 5G. 

Awakening to the true self.

Be Aware, Be Well

POST 392 B NOW OR NEVER (URGENT NOTICE)

Warm Greetings.  Many thanks to 'Access Now Express' for this special edition. The main points of all that is worrisome about 5G is expressed here and this is the tip of the iceberg. As I see it digital rights is human rights and with robotics workers rights and the list can be extended.

Domain sale could do irreparable harm to millions of charities, NGOs warn

On Wednesday in Davos, the directors of 11 global NGOs released a new open letter warning against the transfer of control of the .ORG top-level domain to a private equity firm. "Certain public goods should never be for sale," said Kenneth Roth of Human Rights Watch. "We don't auction off the town square. Similarly, ICANN shouldn't approve the sale of .ORG, which is the essential haven where civic groups gather the world over." READ MORE VIA REUTERS

It could easily be weaponized for crimes like stalking or foreign spying and its use of images from Facebook would violate the company's terms of service. But if your face is already in the database, it's too late to opt out. "Absent a very strong federal privacy law, we're all screwed," said Al Gidari, a privacy expert at Stanford Law SchoolREAD MORE VIA THE NEW YORK TIMES

The E.U. is funding dystopian artificial intelligence projects

Last week the news broke that government leaders in the European Union are considering a five-year ban on AI-powered facial recognition in public spaces. If lawmakers are so concerned about the risks, why are flawed and ethically questionable AI systems being tested and implemented across EuropeREAD MORE VIA EURACTIV

Microsoft president Brad Smith calls for AI regulation in Davos

"We should not wait for the technology to mature before we start to put principles, and ethics, and even rules in place to govern AI," said Smith at a forum press briefing. However, in contrast to Google's Sundar Pichai, he has appeared reluctant to embrace an outright ban on the use of facial recognition technology, arguing that we should "address this problem with a scalpel instead of a meat cleaver." READ MORE VIA GEEKWIRE

Black-boxed politics: opacity is a choice in AI systems

Facial recogition is only one of the problematic uses of AI, and its use in decision-making for everything from content moderation to criminal justice to welfare services threatens the rights to equality and non-discrimination. Consensus continues to build behind regulation of AI that is based on the international human rights framework, including following principles of transparency. As part of his research on AI as a Mozilla Fellow, our own Daniel Leufer joins co-authors Agata Foryciarz and Katarzyna Szymielewicz to counter the misconception that AI systems have to be a "black box." READ MORE VIA MEDIUM

We're banning facial recognition. We're missing the point.

Renowned security expert Bruce Schneier, a board member at Access Now, points out that facial recognition technology is just one of many tools used in the modern mass surveillance apparatus, and efforts to dismantle it must consider the laws, policies, and technologies for its three components: identification, correlation, and discrimination. READ MORE VIA THE NEW YORK TIMES

Peyo a wonderful Horse--it made me weep.
After all that stuff above Peyo I felt to end on the hope and love of Peyo and all our dearest cousins in nature and those humans who feel compassion and deep respect for life and its gifts.
I have seen and known humans and animals that yes, trees and plants and special places that have a 'something' in them that is beyond logic and technical scientific academic logic, intellect and nohow. I feel this in me at times a special glow and smile, a smile from the heart. How I wish I could feel this more often.

Be Well and Smiling.
