I caught one of your radio talk shows and have visited your website. It is one of the best expose's I've seen on the subject. I've been following this issue since first reports of spider web gunk being dropped from the skies in 1994, along with people getting seriously sick from it. At that point these were merely interesting observations happening 'somewhere else.'
That changed as I relaxed on my deck on the first Sunday in June 1998 right before taking off for a week-long seminar. I noticed billowing clouds coming out from behind a jet passing overhead, and it just didn't look like a normal contrail. Within days I broke out with severe hives all over my body (large purple blotches that covered about 30% of my torso), along with pressure pain on my feet and hands, and very achy muscles when doing only about 40% of my normal workouts. After bumping around in the poor excuse we call managed health care in this country, an old-school dermatologist with a 3 pill combo knocked this out over the following 8-12 months. However, milder symptoms are still showing up and I suspect my immune system is merely dealing with it better. My point here is that yes, bodies do have allergic reactions to this stuff they are dumping on us. I also remember the winter of '99 when they showered this area with very heavy chemtrails and in the next 48 hours nearly everyone came down with a hacking cough from which it took many months to recover (I'm still not sure I am totally over it.) Absentee rates at work were around 30%, and although it acted like the flu, and it met the criteria for an 'epidemic', the CDC stated that it was not the flu.
On the more technical side, I work as an engineer for a large company, supporting the mechanical systems for integrated chip fabrication plants. I am a degreed mechanical engineer, with professional engineering registration in 3 branches of engineering. By late 1999, it occurred to me that perhaps the best way of gathering data on this was analyzing new and used air filters. One thing that every fab does is move a LOT of outside air through their makeup air handlers, typically hundreds of thousands of cubic feet per minute for a large fab. These particular make up air handlers (MAHs) have 3 levels of filtration: prefilters that are rated at 30% efficiency, intermediate filters at 95%, and final filters that are HEPA filters. HEPAs filter out 99.99+% of the particles larger than .3 microns. Also of interest was the opportunity to analyze a filter from an air handler that ran outside air through it continuously from 1989 to January 1996 when it was taken out of service, prior to the chemtrail program going into 'production' mode locally. I had the samples cut out of each filter, weighed, and dissolved in nitric acid, then analyzed for Ba, Al, and Mg. (Expensive analysis, and some of the peaks were masked by Ti.) I took the results and normalized them for the known face velocities of the air through the filters and the number of hours each filter was in service. I also had a new, identical HEPA filter analyzed as a control. The results were interesting, to say the least. There is a level of Ba and Al in the new filter media, but Mg was not detected. On the filter that was only in service prior to 1996, the Ba levels were about 30% higher than the new filters, but that isn't much Ba collection in 7 years of operation. It is a good indication of the amount of ambient Ba in the air prior to 1996. Cifford Carnicom (who should be considered a public hero for his efforts on this topic) had researched Ba in the atmosphere, and said references indicated there really shouldn't be any, and prior to 1996 my data supports that. When I looked at the pick up rate of the other HEPA filters that were in service in 1999, the normalized rate of Ba increase was 255:1 in one case and 601:1 in the other filter. So, my conclusion is that by 1999 there were 2.5 orders of magnitude more Ba in the air than earlier that decade. The ratio on the intermediate filters was 39:1. Doing best guess estimates of probable size based on published filter efficiencies vs. particle size led to a average particle size estimate of 0.18 microns. Due to the limited data set this could be off a bit, but it gives something to work with. Aluminum is prevalent in dust and dirt, so it's presence would not by itself be alarming. But the normalized amounts should be comparable over time. The results were somewhat unexpected. The pre-1996 filters showed no Al, which is surprising to me. Probably most of this must have been filtered out as larger particles in the pre-filters, which I didn't analyze because I knew I was looking for smaller particles. Because no Al (or Mg) was found in the pre-1996 filters, the above normalized ratios can't be used (can't divide by zero), but there was a significant amount of Al, and a moderate amount of Mg showed up.
More testing would be interesting to quantify what is going on, but I personally don't need any more 'convincing'. The jury is in. It is happening. I just don't know all of the reasons why. Another place to poke around would be with x-ray technicians and radiologists (I don't know any). All those patients filtering Ba (opaque to x-rays) through their lungs should have required some adjustments in the sensitivity of x-ray equipment or exposure time, however small and gradual over the past several years. I'm sure that astronomers have a lot of data they have stumbled upon since they have to look through this fine particulate haze, but since many of them are federally funded or use funded facilities, they likely can't or won't talk.
Chronic barium intoxication disrupts sulphated proteoglycan synthesis: a hypothesis for the origins of multiple sclerosis.
Purdey M.
High level contamination by natural and industrial sources of the alkali earth metal, barium (Ba) has been identified in the ecosystems/workplaces that are associated with high incidence clustering of multiple sclerosis (MS) and other neurodegenerative diseases such as the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Analyses of ecosystems supporting the most renowned MS clusters in Saskatchewan, Sardinia, Massachusetts, Colorado, Guam, NE Scotland demonstrated consistently elevated levels of Ba in soils (mean: 1428 ppm) and vegetation (mean: 74 ppm) in relation to mean levels of 345 and 19 ppm recorded in MS-free regions adjoining. The high levels of Ba stemmed from local quarrying for Ba ores and/or use of Ba in paper/foundry/welding/textile/oil and gas well related industries, as well as from the use of Ba as an atmospheric aerosol spray for enhancing/refracting the signalling of radio/radar waves along military jet flight paths, missile test ranges, etc. It is proposed that chronic contamination of the biosystem with the reactive types of Ba salts can initiate the pathogenesis of MS; due to the conjugation of Ba with free sulphate, which subsequently deprives the endogenous sulphated proteoglycan molecules (heparan sulfates) of their sulphate co partner, thereby disrupting synthesis of S-proteoglycans and their crucial role in the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signalling which induces oligodendrocyte progenitors to maintain the growth and structural integrity of the myelin sheath. Loss of S-proteoglycan activity explains other key facets of MS pathogenesis; such as the aggregation of platelets and the proliferation of superoxide generated oxidative stress. Ba intoxications disturb the sodium-potassium ion pump--another key feature of the MS profile. The co-clustering of various neurodegenerative diseases in these Ba-contaminated ecosystems suggests that the pathogenesis of all of these diseases could pivot upon a common disruption of the sulphated proteoglycan-growth factor mediated signalling systems. Individual genetics dictates which specific disease emerges at the end of the day.
