After reading this article I hope there aren’t any people left who thing the powers that be want the best for people. If it was harmless, why were they spraying it over the country; if it was dangerous, why were they spraying it over the country? The Ministry of Defence turned large parts of the […]

Fukushima radiation ‘3 times higher than thought’

September 10, 2011

It could be decades before the Fukushima area is habitable again. To top that off, we recently heard that the earthquake created mudslides and fissures on the ocean floor; scientists fear the eco-system may never recover. As if that wasn’t bad enough for the sea life, new research shows that the radioactive substances released into […]

There still seems to be a lot of people who don’t ‘believe’ in weather modification. It does exist. Here is a video from Fox News discussing the possible use of cloud seeding in Texas (again) to ease the severe drought conditions there right now. http://video.foxnews.com/v/1146076363001/weather-modification-to-ease-texas-drought/ Related articles 8/26/2011 – INTENSE HAARP RING in Hurricane Irene […]

Is Yesterday’s News Tomorrow’s Fuel?

I find this sort of thing really exciting. Every day, new and innovative solutions to appease our climate concerns are developed – now if only those gready businessmen would fully back ideas that didn’t involve drilling, exploding, polluting and poisoning! Yesterday’s news could be tomorrow’s fuel. Tulane University scientists discovered a strain of clostridia bacteria, […]

Keystone XL Pipeline Protests – time to listen?

August 31, 2011

I would think it is going to cause slight embarrassment that a NASA chief and presidential campaign writer have been arrested for protesting against the Keystone XL Pipeline.
