Abstract
High levels of Silver (Ag), Barium (Ba) and Strontium (Sr) and low levels of copper (Cu) have been measured in the antlers, soils and pastures of the deer that are thriving in the chronic wasting disease (CWD) cluster zones in North America in relation to the areas where CWD and other transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) have not been reported.
The elevations of Ag, Ba and Sr were thought to originate from both natural geochemical and artificial pollutant sources – stemming from the common practise of aerial spraying with `cloud seeding' Ag or Ba crystal nuclei for rain making in these drought prone areas of North America, the atmospheric spraying with Ba based aerosols for enhancing/refracting radar and radio signal communications as well as the spreading of waste Ba drilling mud from the local oil/gas well industry across pastureland. These metals have subsequently bioconcentrated up the foodchain and into the mammals who are dependent upon the local Cu deficient ecosystems.
A dual eco-prerequisite theory is proposed on the aetiology of TSEs which is based upon an Ag, Ba, Sr or Mn replacement binding at the vacant Cu/Zn domains on the cellular prion protein (PrP)/sulphated proteoglycan molecules which impairs the capacities of the brain to protect itself against incoming shockbursts of sound and light energy. Ag/Ba/Sr chelation of free sulphur within the biosystem inhibits the viable synthesis of the sulphur dependent proteoglycans, which results in the overall collapse of the Cu mediated conduction of electric signals along the PrP-proteoglycan signalling pathways; ultimately disrupting GABA type inhibitory currents at the synapses/end plates of the auditory/circadian regulated circuitry, as well as disrupting proteoglycan co-regulation of the growth factor signalling systems which maintain the structural integrity of the nervous system.
The resulting Ag, Ba, Sr or Mn based compounds seed piezoelectric crystals which incorporate PrP and ferritin into their structure. These ferrimagnetically ordered crystals multireplicate and choke up the PrP-proteoglycan conduits of electrical conduction throughout the CNS. The second stage of pathogenesis comes into play when the pressure energy from incoming shock bursts of low frequency acoustic waves from low fly jets, explosions, earthquakes, etc. (a key eco-characteristic of TSE cluster environments) are absorbed by the rogue `piezoelectric' crystals, which duly convert the mechanical pressure energy into an electrical energy which accumulates in the crystal-PrP-ferritin aggregates (the fibrils) until a point of `saturation polarization' is reached.
Magnetic fields are generated on the crystal surface, which initiate chain reactions of deleterious free radical mediated spongiform neurodegeneration in surrounding tissues. Since Ag, Ba, Sr or Mn based piezoelectric crystals are heat resistant and carry a magnetic field inducing pathogenic capacity, it is proposed that these ferroelectric crystal pollutants represent the transmissible, pathogenic agents that initiate TSE.

It's a fact: in the operations of clandestine and illegal geoengineering are also involved civilian airlines (mostly engaged in spraying during tje day) and oil companies. Edward Teller few decades ago suggested to use commercial airplanes to spread nanoparticles into the atmosphere officially in order to block the sunlight and cool the planet. In fact, the infamous "scientist" believed that military planes were not sufficient for the task. His advice was unfortunately followed. Teller believed that commercial aviation could be worked to spread these particles at a cost of 33 cents per liter (The patent Hughs of 1991 confirms that the particles can be spread by means of jet engines).
This confirms a report of a manager of an airline, forced by the obligation of silence to remain anonymous. He said that commercial aviation cooperated and still cooperate with the military one in the geoengeneering. The airline manager's statement, posted by C.E. Carnicom, is very important: “The few airline employees who were aware of Project Cloverleaf were all under the control of their past and to be informed before they made us sign non-disclosure agreements which basically stated that, if they had told something about what they knew, they would be imprisoned. They were told that the government would pay our airline together with others, to spread special chemicals by means of commercial aircrafts. When they asked them why they were limited to equip military aircrafts to release these chemicals, they declared that there were not enough military airplanes available to release chemicals in the atmosphere all over the world. Then someone asked why all this secrecy. Some government representatives declared that, if people knew that aircrafts are spreading poisons into the air, environmental groups would have unleashed Hell and called for the end of spraying operations”.
The use of commercial aircrafts is very "useful": it is not necessary to install the appropriate mechanisms on aircraft, since it is sufficient to use fuel additives. These fuels contain heavy metals and polymeric compounds. They spread chemicals during the day, when civilian aircrafts cooperate with the military ones that continues during the night.
A fuel used is the aluminum borohydride, a chemical compound with the formula Al(BH4 )3. It is a volatile compound, pyrophoric, liquid and it is commonly used as rocket fuel, aviation fuel additive and as a reducing agent in the laboratories.
The aluminum borohydride is formed by the reaction between sodium borohydride with aluminum chloride. The aluminum borohydride reacts with water, releasing hydrogen. By means of this reaction generates a trail that, although it is not due to the phenomenon of condensation, debunkers call it contrail. Here is the cheat! The formula is the following:
Another fuel is ALICE (acrostic formed by words “aluminum” and “ice”): it is a propellant consisting of nanopowders of aluminum and water. After the components have been mixed, are cooled to make them stable.
Another fuel completely suitable to the geoengineers’ purposes (destruction of natural clouds, air drying, making the atmosphere similar to ionosphere... ) is the Stadis 450: it includes the barium.
Many metals are used in chemtrails activities because they are paramagnetic. The paramagnetism in Physics is a phenomenon link to a material immersed in a magnetic field: it takes on an intensity of magnetization in the same direction of the inducing field and a value proportional to the intensity of this. If an external magnetic field is applied, a paramagnetic material is magnetized in the direction of the field. The most common are platinum, chromium, palladium, manganese, lithium and aluminum. Even barium, calcium, strontium and uranium are paramagnetic.
Recent analyzes, made in France by scientific laboratories, established that the aviation fuels also include phthalates. Phthalates are a family of chemical compounds used in the plastics industry as plasticizers or as substances added to the polymer in order to improve the flexibility and moldability.
Phthalates of light alcohols (dimethylphthalate, diethyl phthalate) are used as solvents in perfumes and pesticides. Phthalates are also frequently used in the preparation of nail polish, adhesives, paints and even food.
These neurotoxic pollutants penetrate into the pilots’ cabin and passengers’ cabin, because the contaminated air is taken from outside, usually by one or more motors. It is no coincidence that we know aerotoxic syndrome cases since the mid-nineties of the twentieth century.
Let us ask for which reason the prices of airline tickets of several companies are often very low. Could it be that some low cost companies receive money to do their "dirty work”? Follow the money trail… If we analyse by means of special instruments, such Flightradar 24 , the courses of passengers aircrafts and cargos, we can see that they follow unusual courses, rather bizarre. Not only! The digital data often indicate airports of departure and landing linked to other planes which have already taken off or landed. This means that the furious, incessant comings and goings of civilian aircrafts engaged in poisoning the entire biosphere, is hidden behind false information.

Dr Karjoo claims that his studies show a link between Morgellons and silicone silica. He does not quote Geoengineering, but we know that chemtrails compounds contain the material (especially nanomaterials) found by Dr Karyoo too.
According to a recent press release from the Morgellons Medical Center, Dr Rahim Karjoo claims that his research has revealed a connection between the the Morgellons skin phenomenon and the toxicity of silicone silica. Dr Karjoo began his work in the 1990s when he was examining hundreds of cases where patients that had received silicone breast implants suffered from a skin condition that Dr. Karjoo termed “Karjoo’s Phenomenon”.(1) Three week’s after patients had the silicone implants removed, their skin condition healed and the “Karjoo Phenomenon” disappeared for good.Rahim Karjoo has been the Director/Pathologist of Doctors Hospital of West Covina, CA and the American Medical Diagnostic Labs. Karjoo has also taught at the University of Southern California, the University of Connecticut Medical School, Pahlavi University School of Medicine in Iran, and was a member of the Clinical Pathology Teaching Staff at Yale University. According to the press release, Karjoo is in the process of publishing his findings in both medical and environmental journals.
How Morgellons disease began
In the summer of 2001, Mary Leitao became concerned when her 3 year old son’s skin near his lips became irritated. He pointed to his skin and said the one word he knew to describe what it felt like, “bugs.” While rubbing the lotion that the doctor had prescribed for scabies onto the boy’s skin, she felt odd fibers that were emerging from the boy’s skin. As a biologist by career, the mother was both alarmed and intrigued. She removed the filaments and examined them under a microscope, but they looked like nothing at all she had ever looked at under the scope. The fact that she had worked as a medical researcher for five years made that even more surprising. The fibers, according to Leitao, were either red, black or blue and would fluoresce under certain lights. After verifying that the fibers were really coming from her son’s skin and not some external source, she continued her research on the fibers in a real biology lab. However, most answers came from the Internet, where Leitao discovered that the fibers were only the first symptom of the illness – other sufferers reported that later would come neurological issues. (3) By 2006, her son Drew started to experience the neurological effects of the disease. Her husband passed away in 2004 of cardiac arrhythmia, leaving Mary alone to raise the family while battling the mysterious disease.
Today, in 2012, the Morgellons Research Foundation that she founded is no longer active, and the C.D.C.'s conclusion about Morgellons is that it is an “unexplained dermopathy”, not caused by infection or parasites. According to the Mayo Clinic:
“C.D.C. experts note that the signs and symptoms of Morgellons disease are very similar to those of a mental illness involving false beliefs about infestation by parasites (delusional parasitosis).” (2) The stance of the C.D.C .and mainstream science is a bit absurd, with the admission that the symptoms of Morgellons includes “fibers, threads or black stringy material in and on the skin”, yet still referring to the disease as likely being psychological in nature – as though patients can will strange, black fibers to grow from their skin.
Dr Frank Vasey published an article stating that silica "debris" from breast implants can cause "silicone related disorders" (6)
Toxicity of Silicone Silica
Dr Rahim Karjoo references his work and observation of the skin condition in reaction to the toxicity of silicone silica, as a solution to the Morgellons mystery. Karjoo says that the term “Morgellons” is a misnomer for the disease, and would like to officially rename it to Skin Phenomenon of Granulomatous Dermatoses. After observing the condition in silicone breast implant patients, and then learning about sufferers of “Morgellons Disease” in subsequent years, Karjoo founded the Morgellons Medical Center, where Karjoo claims that he has successfully treated numerous Morgellons sufferers.
On his site, Karjoo writes:
“Contamination of the toxic materials released in the environment and also those put in the food and used inside the human body as well as those to be used on the skin surface. I will only explore one of them and that is silica, which is Silicone dioxide. Those governmental agencies should prohibit the use of these products and inform the public regarding the possible side effects, such as the awful disease they call ‘Morgellons’.”
As evidence, Karjoo has publicly published the images and analysis that he has performed on case studies where he has discovered silica particles, and other nanoparticle contaminants as well.
In "Case 3″, Karjoo explains, “shows silicone, silica particles (nanoparticles) are seen on skin surface of most morgellons disease cases.
”In a few cases, Karjoo discovered other nanoparticles, such as polyurethane.
Karjoo writes, “Image 4 Case 4 shows superficial invasion of polyurethane nanoparticles on the skin.
”While it may be easy for skeptics to brush aside Dr. Karjoo’s claims that toxic nanoparticles are to blame for Morgellons Disease, there are actually some preliminary findings in other medical circles that could support Karjoo’s claim.
Nanoparticles in the environment
According to an article published in the Journal of Nanobiotechnology in 2004 titled “Nanoparticles – known and unknown health risks”, Oleg Salata of the University of Oxford contends that while nano-science is seeing “massive investment” worldwide, nanoparticles are making their way into a greater number of consumer products.Salata writes that the “potential effects of their widespread use in the consumer and industrial products are just beginning to emerge.”The article dives into some of the potential effects that those nanoparticles could potentially have on human health. Such nanoparticles are now used in all kinds of everyday products, including “sunscreens, toothpastes, sanitary ware coatings and even food products.” (4)
The most alarming part of the paper is the revelation that nanoparticles used in skin cream medications or in sunscreen may ultimately end up infiltrating into the very deep parts of hair follicles.“TiO2 particles are often used in sunscreens to absorb UV light and therefore to protect skin against sunburn or genetic damage. It has been reported by Lademann et al in [82] that micrometer-sized particles of TiO2 get through the human stratum corneum and even into some hair follicles – including their deeper parts.”If Dr Karjoo observed that patients with silicone implants experienced a similar skin condition that cleared up after the implants were removed, it could indicate that silica nanoparticles, as well as other nanoparticles, could offer an important clue to understanding and solving the mysterious illness known today as Morgellons disease.

In a recent article, Prof. L. Blaylock warns the people, pointing out the serious dangers associated with the inhalation of aluminum, one of the many metals contained in the so-called "chemtrails": if we are not able to stop these criminal operations, the health of humans and the environmental equilibrium shall be irreversibly compromised. We thank Ron for the notice.
The Internet is littered with stories of “chemtrails” and geoengineering to combat “global warming” and until recently I took these stories with a grain of salt. One of the main reasons for my skepticism was that I rarely saw what they were describing in the skies. But over the past several years I have notice a great number of these trails and I have to admit they are not like the contrails I grew up seeing in the skies. They are extensive, quite broad, are laid in a definite pattern and slowly evolve into artificial clouds. Of particular concern is that there are now so manydozens every day are littering the skies.
My major concern is that there is evidence that they are spraying tons of nanosized aluminum compounds. It has been demonstrated in the scientific and medical literature that nanosized particles are infinitely more reactive and induce intense inflammation in a number of tissues. Of special concern is the effect of these nanoparticles on the brain and spinal cord, as a growing list of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s dementia, Parkinson’s disease and Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS) are strongly related to exposure to environmental aluminum.
Nanoparticles of aluminum are not only infinitely more inflammatory, they also easily penetrate the brain by a number of routes, including the blood and olfactory nerves (the smell nerves in the nose). Studies have shown that these particles pass along the olfactory neural tracts, which connect directly to the area of the brain that is not only most effected by Alzheimer’s disease, but also the earliest affected in the course of the disease. It also has the highest level of brain aluminum in Alzheimer’s cases.
The intranasal route of exposure makes spraying of massive amounts of nanoaluminum into the skies especially hazardous, as it will be inhaled by people of all ages, including babies and small children for many hours. We know that older people have the greatest reaction to this airborne aluminum. Because of the nanosizing of the aluminum particles being used, home filtering system will not remove the aluminum, thus prolonging exposure, even indoors.
In addition to inhaling nanoaluminum, such spraying will saturate the ground, water and vegetation with high levels of aluminum. Normally, aluminum is poorly absorbed from the GI tract, but nanoaluminum is absorbed in much higher amounts. This absorbed aluminum has been shown to be distributed to a number of organs and tissues including the brain and spinal cord. Inhaling this environmentally suspended nanoaluminum will also produce tremendous inflammatory reaction within the lungs, which will pose a significant hazard to children and adults with asthma and pulmonary diseases.
I pray that the pilots who are spraying this dangerous substance fully understand that they are destroying the life and health of their families as well. This is also true of our political officials. Once the soil, plants and water sources are heavily contaminated there will be no way to reverse the damage that has been done.
Steps need to be taken now to prevent an impending health disaster of enormous proportions if this project is not stopped immediately. Otherwise we will see an explosive increase in neurodegenerative diseases occurring in adults and the elderly in unprecedented rates as well as neurodevelopmental disorders in our children. We are already seeing a dramatic increase in these neurological disorders and it is occurring in younger people than ever before.

An article of Alessandro Bianchi (RT) describes a "fantastic" world invaded by terrifying arms of every kind: direct-energy weapons, geophysical weapons, wave-energy weapons, genetic weapons, psychotronic weapons, chemtrails. Even if the author focuses the Russia only and although he seems to refer anything to the future, we know that many nations own these weapons and they are using them for many decades.
A speech by the Russian Defense Minister promising to modernize his army caused a firestorm in the Western media – which accused Russia of developing mind control weapons that turn people into zombies. The truth is more complex, but no less scary.
“The development of weaponry based on new physics principles – direct-energy weapons, geophysical weapons, wave-energy weapons, genetic weapons, psychotronic weapons and so on – is part of the state arms procurement program until 2020,” Minister Anatoliy Serdyukov reported to President-in-waiting Vladimir Putin during their latest meeting.
Some media focused on “psychotronic” weapons – wonder devices that use energy waves to control enemy behavior, effectively turning him into a “zombie.” Several papers went on to speculate that these would be used internally against political “dissidents.”
While rumors of Soviet, then Russian psychotronic weapons have surfaced repeatedly for decades, not one has been able to produce a working psychotronic gun, or even explain what mystery rays would allow its owner to control other people’s brains.
Although it involves reading into his words (and military officials the world over often either overstate or try to conceal their country’s military capabilities) it is more likely that the minister referred to something more akin to infrasonic weapons. These unleash sounds at a frequency lower than the human ear is able to detect or cope with. Previous tests have revealed that these weapons can demoralize their targets and even cause brain damage. On the other end of the scale, ultra high frequency noise also causes severe discomfort. Perhaps, Russia possesses militarized versions of the high-pitched Mosquito emitters that have been used in the U.K. to stop teenagers (who are better able to hear them than adults) from loitering in public.
More alarming is Serdyukov’s mention of genetic weapons. These are commonly understood as biological weapons modified in such a way that they would target, say one race, but not another. So far, it has been difficult to engineer viruses precisely enough that they would attack only the enemy, but none of your own side. Furthermore, these weapons are banned by the international Biological Weapons Convention – to which Russia is a signatory – and developing them would earn Russia severe censure from the international community.
Direct-energy weapons – such as heat rays – are another innovation that have been long-advertised but has seen limited action. Heat rays, such as used in the US Active Denial System deployed in Afghanistan and Iraq, cause unbearable pain to the skin of the target, forcing them to run away, but are not intended to kill. They are often used for crowd control, but are cumbersome and take time to set up.
Meanwhile, lasers have been a weapon of choice for every military buff since at least Star Wars. While they are undoubtedly destructive, gathering enough energy to power one makes them hard to produce – rather than nifty hand guns, we are more likely to see giant missile interceptors. The cost of the technology remains prohibitive.
Perhaps the most terrifying category of potential weapons is geophysical – those that use the environment. For example, a charge detonated in a correct place could set off an earthquake or a tsunami, while chemicals released in the air can ground an enemy air fleet with a severe storm. It is unclear how far these technologies have advanced, but by their very nature, they are likely to unleash unbridled destruction.
So even without turning them into zombies, there are plenty enough new ways to disable or kill potential enemies. But bearing in mind their cost and impracticality, more likely than not, it is conventional rockets and bullets that will dominate the military conflicts in the next decade at least.

N.A.S.A., the pseudo-scientific and military agency, notorious for lies, manipulations and the "education" programs which teach the students to confuse chemtrails with harmless clouds, admits the Geoengineering. In the following article the author quotes trimethylaluminum, a poisonous compound sprayed by chemical planes. Moreover the description about "milky, white clouds" perfectly matches with the mortal trails we see every day in the sky. Let's forget scientific aims: everything is a disgusting pretext to pollute the atmosphere and control the planet.
High in the sky, 60 to 65 miles above Earth's surface, winds rush through a little understood region of Earth's atmosphere at speeds of 200 to 300 miles per hour. Lower than a typical satellite's orbit, higher than where most planes fly, this upper atmosphere jet stream makes a perfect target for a particular kind of scientific experiment: the sounding rocket. Some 35 to 40 feet long, sounding rockets shoot up into the sky for short journeys of eight to ten minutes, allowing scientists to probe difficult-to-reach layers of the atmosphere.
In March, N.A.S.A. will launch five such rockets in approximately five minutes to study these high-altitude winds and their intimate connection to the complicated electrical current patterns that surround Earth. First noticed in the 1960s, the winds in this jet stream shouldn't be confused with the lower jet stream located around 30,000 feet, through which passenger jets fly and which is reported in weather forecasts. This rocket experiment is designed to gain a better understanding of the high-altitude winds and help scientists better model the electromagnetic regions of space that can damage man-made satellites and disrupt communications systems. The experiment will also help explain how the effects of atmospheric disturbances in one part of the globe can be transported to other parts of the globe in a mere day or two.
The five sounding rockets, known as the Anomalous Transport Rocket Experiment (ATREX), will launch from N.A.S.A.'s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia releasing a chemical tracer into the air. The chemical -- a substance called trimethylaluminum -- forms milky, white clouds that allow those on the ground to "see" the winds in space and track them with cameras. In addition, two of the rockets will have instrumented payloads to measure pressure and temperature in the atmosphere.

Another research about Morgellons links the desease to some species of Algae: probably Algae are not a causative agent, but just something that maybe has a relation with symptoms. Some researchers think that Algae, Fungi and Bacteria are copyed by nanostructures in the fibers. These fibers, quoted in the article and found in Morgellons sufferers, are biotechnological materials, as Sofia Smallstorm demonstrated.
There are six particle types that are consistently recovered from the skin surface of those suffering from Morgellons disease, 1) ribbon-like fibers, 2) rounded fibers, 3) capsule-like particles, 4) black flakes/grains, 5) worm-like particles, and 6) stellate-shaped (“starfish-shaped”) particles. The fibers are often pigmented and may luminesce under ultraviolet light.
Current Morgellons research at a laboratory in Massachusetts shows that individuals affected by Morgellons disease have been in contact with soil and/or water containing cyanobacteria (blue-green algae), algae, aquatic fungi, water molds and lichen (algae and fungi). This assemblage of organisms and associated bacterial populations, is common in soil and aquatic environments where cryptobiotic soils are present and/or in environments where nutrient rich conditions promote the development of algae blooms.
Dermal contact with a water source and/or inhalation of aerial dust containing cyanobacteria and algae may lead to the progressive colonization of organisms that are capable of feeding on or consuming these photosynthetic producers, thus contributing to the wide range of symptoms reported by Morgellons sufferers. Incidental growth of these opportunistic populations, such as actinomyces, aquatic fungi and true fungi, are known to promote disease in humans, as they consist of species capable of degrading either cellulose or keratin (skin/hair). Evidence for the presence of opportunistic micro- organisms in samples is indicated by the occurrence of capsule-like Morgellons particles that have been identified as parasitized pine pollen grains. Chytrid populations are obligate parasites of frogs, nematodes, algae, cyanobacteria plants and pine pollen.
These findings serve as a focus for further understanding the ecological significance of the organisms identified in this study and the rôle they may play as causative agents of Morgellons disease.
