Sign Up to see what your friends like. Dane Wigington geoengineeringwatch.org The power structure is beginning to panic as the public wakes up to the criminal climate engineering insanity. The growing police state is completely out of control and becoming unimaginably blatant with their actions. In recent weeks Washington has placed "gag orders" on the following agency employees, "The National Weather Service", the "National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration", and the "US Department of Commerce". This is a massive red flag that should trigger alarm bells everywhere. Bill Hopkins, the executive vice president for the National Weather Service employees organization (NWSEO) said this: “As a taxpayer, I find it highly disturbing that a government agency continues to push gag orders to hide how they operate. This is the work of the American government, owned by the American public, and should be open to the American public.” Jeff Ruch, the executive director "PEER" (Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility) said this about the "gag orders". “The National Weather Service is about the last place where national security-style secrecy rules need to be enforced,” Ruch noted that the broad scope of the gag orders put much of what goes on inside the agency under wraps. “Everyone is free to talk about the weather except for the people working inside the National Weather Service. Go figure.” Some time ago I personally spoke to an NOAA scientist that said "we all know it is going on (climate engineering) but we are afraid to speak out, we have no first amendment protection". The new "gag order" is a further muzzling of the NWS and NOAA. It is likely there are many in the National Weather Service and NOAA that have had enough of lying about what is really going on in our skies. Massive atmospheric aerosol spraying assaults are constant around the globe. Almost all meteorologists have so far denied the all too obvious ongoing climate engineering operations. Other weather agencies and personnel have also been actively engaged in public deception. What did BBC "meteorologist" Ian Fergusson say about the picture below? "When rain, ice crystals or snow falls but evaporates before reaching the ground, it's a (natural) phenomenon called 'virga' or 'fallstreak'." The so called "experts" are naming jet aircraft sprayed aerosol clouds as if they are produced by nature. A report from PEER contains the following statement: This summer, the National Weather Service began requiring a signed confidentiality agreement (Exhibit I) from NWSEO participants along with all participants on the OWA teams. These agreements purport to bind NWSEO representatives from communicating with its members, members of Congress or any other person regarding agency plans and how they are determined. These agreements also do not contain terms allowing reports of actual or impending law or rule violations, gross mismanagement, waste or abuse. The PEER report continued with this: The National Weather Service, NOAA and Commerce are presently implementing and enforcing nondisclosure agreements which violate the law. We are officially living in an Orwellian police state where any who dare to try and tell the truth are dealt with severely. Forcing the employees of "national" weather and climate agencies to sign "confidentiality agreements is extremely alarming (with unimaginable potential consequences), but not surprising given what we know about the cataclysms being caused by the rapidly growing climate engineering elephant in the room. Some may mistake the "gag order" to be only about union issues, this is not the case as quotes above (taken from the PEER reports) make clear. The decimation and mortality that has already been inflicted on our biosphere and all life from global geoengineering is so immense it could never be calculated. The weather warfare insanity is finally becoming all but impossible to hide, the recent "gag orders" are a sign of true desperation on the part of the power structure. Now more than ever we must all keep up our pace in the battle to expose and halt climate engineering.

Reply Tammi Broglen Bedard says: October 22, 2016 at 8:43 am They actually had a cloud naming contest, making up new names for the different so-called new cloud formation. One new name is a Jellyfish clouds Cush says: January 25, 2017 at 11:43 am I have read over two dozen comments on this article and just watched Spicer's press conference today. I cannot believe that no one is addressing and protesting this gag order that has been implemented on the EPA, NOAA, the National Weather Service, etc etc! WHY?? When the Press Secretary was asked about this he stated that this was done internally and not demanded by the White House. That is BS! We are not living in Russia, North Korea or China or are we?? We MUST all stand together on this issue! What if we experienced a domestic environmental crisis and our funding is frozen as well as the gag order still implemented? What is the reason for this gag order in the first place?? THIS IS CRAZY and I feel like I am in the Twilight Zone! 2. Snow Goose says: February 24, 2016 at 6:55 pm Here in Canada we have some Ostrich on farms. The biggest part of the population that have feathers migrate with their heads up their Ass around here though.They are called Chicken's. That is because they are afraid. Afraid to speak out because they think they will get plucked and thrown into the Deep Fryer. That's happening right now. They just don't know it. It is so easy to see and hear up in the sky each day. Our TV stations do the same thing. They BS everyone about the weather and the cloud formations and all the Foul Chicken people eat it up like Chicken Feed. As long as they get fed they don't care even if it is Bull Shit they are being fed. They have to feed their gullet so Bull shit will do. It's all them people driving around with Mercedes that get me. They don't eat Bull Shit. They are the ones shoveling it into the Mouth's of the Chickens. All the Chicken's eat it right up. They love Bull Shit more then Chicken Feed. Reply Vani says: February 26, 2016 at 10:37 pm It is so sad… 3. Donna says: January 21, 2016 at 9:43 pm And people who are suffering from Ostrich Syndrome wonder why we are so distrustful of our governments. For those that don't know what Ostrich Syndrome is: It means that they have their heads buried in the sand, therefore totally unaware of the issues happening in the world around them. Reply RMG says: February 24, 2016 at 3:40 pm I am wondering if there is some sort of handheld device that can be pointed at these clouds of " contrail vapor" and have the contents be analyzed. We do this in the medical field all the time. With oximeters. Etc. surely this technology is not beyond our reach and might convince more of the public to open their eyes to chemtrails. 4. Jose Carlos Hidalgo Romero. says: November 3, 2015 at 4:35 am We are more and we have more force that them. So, we need to letf the negative thoughs and take action now. The best way to begin change the things is release and report these criminal actions. Don´t worry if some people don´t believe it. That`s normal… I would like your support to the campaign against the aerosols in Europe. God bless American People. https://secure.avaaz.org/es/petition/Parlamento_Europeo_Inmediato_cese_de_fumigaciones_clandestinas_de_Geoingenieria_climatica/ Reply 5. Edward Carberry says: October 27, 2015 at 7:07 am In the evenings I will see and East / West plane seemingly flying slow. The new stuff ( bad) I see disappears quickly or doesn't show up at all! I can hear them up above the clouds I think they use it to hide there actions! When it does clear ( relative) the sky's are full of the chemicals! It would be good to have a high power camera to take pictures of the planes to show company logo's on them! I try to see them with my lens and not to see much. Reply gina olondriz says: November 3, 2015 at 4:44 am I hear the planes at night sometimes at 2 a.m. I can only assume they are chemtrailing, could be commercial planes going in and out but I wouldn't be surprised if they are doing it at night too. John Jacobson says: March 5, 2016 at 1:55 pm I'm in Oregon and see the trails almost daily when it's clear. When it's raining I 'feel' it's ongoing. I do not live near an airport yet hear planes overhead during all days and nights.I have photographed the wild chemtrails in our sky. I'm a fan of http://www.foodbabe.com A lady that's made an incredible impact on fast food places among others for them to publicize what's in their food.

New York Toronto London Auckland Sydney Mexico City New Delhi Hong Kong For my mom and dad PART 1 The Fall CHAPTER 1 Gregor had pressed his forehead against the screen for so long, he could feel a pattern of tiny checks above his eyebrows. He ran his fingers over the bumps and resisted the impulse to let out a primal caveman scream. It was building up in his chest, that long gutteral howl reserved for real emergencies -- like when you ran into a saber-toothed tiger without your club, or your fire went out during the Ice Age. He even went so far as to open his mouth and take a deep breath before he banged his head back into the screen with a quiet sound of frustration. "Ergh." What was the point, anyway? It wouldn't change one thing. Not the heat, not the boredom, not the endless space of summer laid out before him. He considered waking up Boots, his two-year-old sister, just for a little distraction, but he let her sleep. At least she was cool in the air-conditioned bedroom she shared with their seven-year-old sister, Lizzie, and their grandma.

Introduction Introduction Welcome to the 20th Annual Café Shapiro! I am excited to introduce the 20th Annual Cafe Shapiro anthology and invite you to read the following inspiring and thoughtful University of Michigan stu- dent authored poems and short stories. These works will draw you into the creative process, welcome you to think and rethink your assumptions, and connect you with the students through their individual expression. You will find a unique window into the Michigan learning experience. When Cafe Shapiro first launched twenty years ago, it was a bold experiment, a student coffee break designed as part of the University’s Year of the Hu- manities and Arts (YoHA). As the University celebrates its bicentennial, Cafe Shapiro is an example of how past innovations become a part of current cam- pus traditions. YoHA set out to explore the role of the arts and humanities in civic and community life through a variety of programs. Twenty years later, Cafe Shapiro continues its tradition of featuring undergraduate student writers nominated by their Professors to perform their works and through during so continues to demonstrate the value of the arts and humanities.
