Chapter Two of Three
Debunking the Myths
Before an analysis can be done of the most common explanations given for the aerosol program, we must first look at the various explanations through the clarifying lens of Psychological Operations (psyops) to circumvent deliberate attempts to mislead and deceive us as previously described in Chapter One. The background found there will assist us in this second installment as we examine each rationale presented to us by both the mainstream and alternative media. As stated in the previous chapter, some of the reasons and justifications offered are intentional disinformation while others are simply speculation based solely upon limited and unconnected information, quite often promoted by sincere individuals just trying to learn ‘the truth’.
What are missing from most analyses of this subject are two things - the issue of intent and the muddling of facts. As more and more people delve into the aerosol issue, they can clearly see something is happening over their heads. And they are beginning to realize what they see in the sky is not normal, with persistent aerosols formed into grid patterns or aerosol lines which slowly disperse to turn the entire visible sky a milky white. There are other strange anomalies all adding up to one thing, visual evidence that can be captured on (digital) film making it difficult to dispute. Unfortunately this phenomenon is often described using the psyops captured and subverted term ‘chemtrails’ by those who are waking up to the issue. This is precisely why the terms ‘persistent trails’ or ‘persistent aerosol trails’ are used throughout this series of three essays.
Another observation we can document is the increased levels of aluminum, barium and various other metals in our soils and our bodies. Aluminum seems to be one of the more commonly referred to metals and presents as one which is consistently much higher than ‘normal’. These elements are also identified as ‘chemtrails’ which emanate from the persistent aerosols that are visually observed. But by using the same co-opted word to describe two different findings, it is implied they are created and spread at the same time by the same people with the same intent.
Once we separate them from each other and use better terminology to describe them, we can more easily recognize that many of the explanations given don’t accurately reflect reality and we can discard those that do not work. This helps us to better understand the true goals of this program or set of programs……or at the very least, to recognize what they are not. Sometimes it helps just to eliminate some of the mental clutter.
The issue of intentionality is critically important in this analysis. Given this is a global program conducted at the highest levels of many different sovereign governments, including their militaries, private networks and contractors involving significant sums of money to operate, one thing appears certain; they don't do random. Meaning if the goal is to apply nano-metals into the troposphere, stratosphere, or other levels of our atmosphere, persistent trails are not necessary. Therefore it is reasonable to postulate that the persistent aerosols are being applied for a very specific reason, with the subsequent understanding this is where the program has its most significant public exposure since it is so visually obvious.
There clearly exists a need and a reason for the persistent trails to behave in this manner. If the goal was to apply only nano-metals, this could easily be done with non-persistent aerosols. The nano-metals could be mixed into the jet fuel used by passenger and military aircraft and expelled during normal flight operations. Or they could be directly applied to the atmosphere via aircraft spray systems or other applicators at higher altitudes which are not visible from the ground. Clearly the persistent aerosols are either a unique program or are at the very least intended for different needs with different outcomes.
With this initial analysis providing a deeper and more nuanced understanding of several contributing factors, we can now begin to examine each of the major explanations we are presented with and see if any of them fit as a primary reason for these aerosol operations, thus worthy of the scope, size and psychological operations marshaled for these programs. They are outlined below.
Amber Waves of Grain
1) The perpetrators are trying to kill or poison us
The simple fact is ‘they’ possess much more effective ways to slowly kill us and at a much lower cost, so why would they do it this way? However, it would not be surprising to learn they were willing to sacrifice people getting sick (and dying) from higher levels of Aluminum as an unintended, but necessary, consequence of the unavoidable fallout. The so-called healthcare industry operates more like a ‘sickcare’ industry which profits from its ‘customers’ and is more than willing to harvest even more income from increasingly sicker people. Alzheimer’s has been on the rise over the last few decades and it is a very costly illness to ‘treat’ given the amount of specialized (and expensive) care stricken individuals require. These sociopathic perpetrators and their profiteering enablers would not miss out on an opportunity to benefit significantly from people becoming sick(er).
This is not to say that toxins or poisons are not, or never have been, added to the aerosols. The US has a long history of testing harmful biological, chemical and radioactive materials on U.S. citizens, and many other people around the globe, without their knowledge or consent. Those suffering from Morgellons disease are likely the result of some type of toxic material inserted into the aerosols at some point. However, if they really wanted to kill or poison us they are doing a really poor job. If the goal was just to make us sick, persistent trails are inefficient and ultimately unnecessary.
2) Taking over the food supply
There are some who speculate these programs are being executed for, or in collusion with, Monsanto. Since the aluminum in the soil is increasing and Monsanto now has a Genetic Engineering (GE) aluminum resistant seed, there is a belief these programs are intended to benefit their takeover of the food supply. More likely though Monsanto was informed, either during or after the program was conceived, that there would be an increase in metal concentrations due to the unavoidable fallout and were directed to develop a GE crop for this type of problem. Persistent trails again are unnecessary.
3) Mind Control/Entrainment
This explanation may be valid as a side benefit, but persistent trails has been going on for a long time and doesn’t seem to be needed since propaganda, pharmaceuticals, fluoride, and various I-things (to name just a few) are sufficient to further the zombification of the masses. Persistent trails are also unnecessary in this case.

4) Military Applications
There are many stated military uses already made public for certain types of aerosols. For example, Operation Popeye was a highly classified weather modification program during the Vietnam War in Southeast Asia (1967-1972). Others, such as chaff, are dispersed in the atmosphere as a radar countermeasure. While these types of applications exist and are now well-documented, their existence by itself does not sufficiently explain the reason for a massive global program combined with a coordinated effort to mislead and misinform the populace.
5) Weather Modification
Contrary to popular belief weather modification is not a myth and does appear to be one aspect of the operation, especially with the persistent aerosol trails. But more likely it is not the primary reason for these programs. There are many forms of weather modification, from applications in warfare going back decades and now openly admitted, to current efforts intended to address issues such as persistent regional drought. The use of silver iodide was even reported recently on my local evening news to describe cloud seeding efforts designed to generate increased rainfall from existing clouds.
There are some in the alternative community pushing the idea this is being done solely for profit. While there are certainly those who will profit from this opportunity, and weather derivatives may be an easy mark for those profiteers, it is not reasonable to explain this as the primary motive behind these programs, especially when it is so much easier to be handed billions of dollars by the central banks and their crony capitalists as we have seen repeatedly done over the last decade.
It may be that some of the persistent trails are in fact used for weather modification programs. There appears to be more frequent persistent trails in advance of, and around, developing weather systems. These trails seem to be intentional since they are seen via satellite images and could be used as targeting gaps or anomalies in other lines, hence many of the grid patterns shown in photos over the past decade. It would also seem logical and possible they could also be used for mapping the multi-layered and evolving wind and weather patters that can be seen on global wind maps.
The persistent trail lines would provide much more detail and localized information about what is happening within the different atmospheric layers, allowing them the opportunity to better influence existing weather systems. It is much easier to modify weather than it is to create it from scratch. However, observed persistent trails behave in many different ways, not just grid patterns. This would imply different purposes - more on this line of thought in Chapter Three.

6) Weather Creation
We also need to distinguish between modification and creation. The Kardashev scale of technological advancement states, “a Type I civilization has achieved mastery of the resources of its home planet, Type II of its solar system.” While it is unlikely the group or groups running these programs have achieved Type II status, Type I is easily a possibility. But even if they have reached Type I status, it does not automatically imply doing so would include the ability to create and control weather. The earth's climate and weather systems are extremely complex and difficult to model, let alone control. The energy coming in from space and our sun exerts far more of an impact upon our weather than anyone in ‘authority’ is willing to admit to or even seriously discuss.
Some popular websites and discussion forums promote the belief all of our weather is manufactured and the sole reason for the persistent aerosols. While the U.S. Air Force did have a stated goal of owning the weather by 2025, this does not mean the ability to create the weather like storms and droughts where and when it is desired. Ownership or control does not imply creation.
7) Global Warming Mitigation
Solar Radiation Management (SRM) is something which is openly discussed, with information about its various aspects easily found whether it be from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), patent searches, university research or ‘news’ covered in puff pieces by the mainstream ‘alternative’ media like “Democracy Now!” or “Breaking the Set”. SRM has often been referred to as Stratospheric Aerosol Geoengineering (SAG) and now Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI). The key here is to distinguish the difference between stratosphere and troposphere.
Many of the patents for SRM, as well as what is being publically discussed and proposed, is about applying metals and nano-metals high in the stratosphere to reflect the sun's light back into space to mitigate Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW). Commercial airplanes and those currently applying persistent aerosols are mainly flying in the troposphere or at the very bottom of the stratosphere. What is being offered to us as a solution to AGW is conflicted and false from the very start, relying upon the assumption you would not know the difference between them.
All the SRM parties identify with, and admit to, global spraying as a potential option to address the threat of global warming with the theory that certain particles sprayed into the stratosphere would help block the sun from cooking our planet due to our carbon emissions. However, according to the ‘experts’, it is only being ‘tested’ in limited cases and would be deployed only if deemed necessary.
Considering how this public ‘meme’ is being slowly rolled out alongside the global warming agenda, we should not be surprised when groups start demanding this spraying activity be started to save us from planetary destruction. Let us not fall for this bait, but instead see Solar Radiation Management for what it is, a limited hangout psyop in which spraying is acknowledged and claimed to be needed. We need to see the AGW psyops for what it is so these false programs cannot be used as an opportunity to publicly explain and justify what is already happening in our skies.
Now that we have examined each of the theories above and have recognized their weaknesses, which prevent them from being the primary reason for the aerosol programs, thereby invalidating any of them from explaining as a primary cause what is going on in our sky, we can move on to Chapter Three where we will offer several alternative theories for the programs. While these theories may not be the only answer, or even the correct one, they are the only ones that can withstand scrutiny above all others.

The start and stop points of the contrails as well as the persistence of the contrails I observe are not natural in my opinion. (desert climate, low humdity, well outside a major metropolitan area) They hang for hours then spread out like clouds depending on the wind.

WOW. Chemtrails addressed and exposed on ZH. That's bad fucking ass.
It's about time. Well, done, fellas, truly.
I concur. About time we saw this on zerohedge. It is not conspiracy theory to question what we are seeing.
ZZZZZOOOOOOMMMMMM
On several occasions ZH's contributor George Washington has discussed this topic both directly and indirectly.
We are only as sick as those subjects we do not openly discuss. Ultimately it matters little if an answer is arrived at or not. What is important is we begin to talk about those subjects no one in 'polite' company talks about.

Metallic aluminum when exposed to air is always totally coated with aluminum oxide. All reactions are assumed to occur on interfaces. An aerosol containing aluminum would always be aluminum oxide on all exposed surfaces. For metallic aluminum to interact with its environment it would have to be in solution as an aluminum ion.
Mitigating global warming with aerosols is an unprovable delusion. It's the same as taking any kind of dietary supplement and claiming it has protected you from cancer because you've not developed cancer. It's a logical error. How can you disprove that something you do has not prevented something you fear? Only after it fails. That it doesn't fail proves nothing.
My Airstream travel trailer proves the metallic aluminum is coated with aluminum oxide statement. : )
"Metallic aluminum when exposed to air is always totally coated with aluminum oxide. All reactions are assumed to occur on interfaces. An aerosol containing aluminum would always be aluminum oxide on all exposed surfaces. For metallic aluminum to interact with its environment it would have to be in solution as an aluminum ion."
References please.
"Mitigating global warming with aerosols is an unprovable delusion."
Did you read the article or are you assuming this is what the article is professing?
"How can you disprove that something you do has not prevented something you fear? Only after it fails. That it doesn't fail proves nothing."
Totally agree with you. Was there something in the article that compelled you to say this?
Metallic aluminum surfaces are highly reactive with oxygen and form a tight covering of alumina, unlike iron oxides which are porous. The confusion and the misuse of aluminum oxide as a source of metallic aluminum and/or aluminum ions to react with living tissue is apparent in this link. http://stopsprayingcalifornia.com/Aluminum_Oxide_Particles.php Alumina is insoluble in water and the aluminum in alumina not removable in organic processes.
In re surface reactions http://www.wikidoc.org/index.php/Reactions_on_surfaces
I had read also part three and was negating any possibility that global warming might be mitigated with aerosols, not implying that the article had chosen this as the TPTB
of note: aluminum is non-magnetic, thus transparent to the earth's magnetic field.
It could (I suppose without checking) interfere with laser guided weapons. That would explain the secrecy.
The basic problem I have with the chemtrail theories is scale. Either you invoke some homeopathic principle, or you have just too vast an area to cover for a substantive effect, at least on a global scale. Of course you could argue limited test runs to establish feasability of a global program for whatever purpose, but should push come to shove, I doubt there are enough aircraft in the world to carry out such a program, especially over long durations.
It's possible that chemtrails are something more along the lines of crop circles - an intentional mystery (with fortean overtones) designed to gauge the reaction of populations to unexplained phenomena. This kind of research would be easy to conduct in our present internet environment, and I think it's no coincidence that the circles started appearing about the same time as the internet. I notice the chemtrail theories also date from around that time.
I have listened to a government meeting on weather modification and the use of releasing particulate metals in areas of population. The speakers were asked what are the long term effects on humans of metals dispersed into the air and settling down to the ground and waterways. They stated that no long term studies had been done.
As a child I remember playing in clouds of DDT when trucks sprayed our neighborhoods during summer days. TPTB at the time said DDT was safe. The MSM even produced public information TV spots showing a person drinking a glass of liquid DDT saying "See, so safe I can drink it".
In Alaska, the USAF funded and maintained a test facility exploring HAARP technologies. Basically an array of antennas that could focus energy into the ionosphere to modify weather. Some folks say persistent trails of metals were used to augment this testing. A few other countries like Russia and Norway, I believe, also setup facilities to explore weather mods.
Weather modification is quite seductive. If made possible, good and bad could be done with it. Our military laid out the benefits of mods used in conflicts.
My point is that groups are experimenting with releasing particulates into high altitudes over many populated areas around the world.
Who is funding these projects? Why does the MSM provide cover? Why doesn't the EPA publish results soil and water metal concentrations in areas where trails are seen? Its cheap to test. It's what we fund them to do?
My family on both sides has no history of cancer but my cancer may just have had help from the DDT I played in as a child. Who knows and who should care about persistent trails that may have heavy metals? My guess are parents who have children and loved ones living where they exist.
3) Mind Control/Entrainment
This explanation may be valid as a side benefit, but persistent trails has been going on for a long time and doesn’t seem to be needed since propaganda, pharmaceuticals, fluoride, and various I-things (to name just a few) are sufficient to further the zombification of the masses. Persistent trails are also unnecessary in this case.
-----
This is classic rationalization, and not very intelligent on the surface. Why?
Well, think about it for a second. Are dimwits a danger to the predators-that-be? Not really. Who might be a danger to the predators-that-be?
NON-dimwits.
Now look at those items:
- propaganda : dimwits voluntarily consume mainstream media.
- bad drugs : dimwits voluntarily consume dangerous drugs.
- fluorine : dimwits voluntarily consume dangerous chemicals.
- ithings : dimwits voluntarily buy products that fry their brains.
And so, the predators-that-be have no problem with dimwits. For all practical purposes, dimwits are toast already. Even worse, dimwits happily and voluntarily support and finance the predators-that-be.
So, now that the predators-that-be have the dimwits of this planet completely under control, and suffer absolutely zero danger from dimwits whatsoever...
Who conceivably could be a problem for the predators-that-be?
NON dimwits.
Now look at those items again:
- propaganda : non-dimwits avoid mainstream media.
- bad drugs : non-dimwits avoid dangerous drugs.
- fluorine : non-dimwits avoid dangerous chemicals.
- ithings : non-dimwits avoid dangerous products.
Get the picture?
The predators-that-be are correct to be unconcerned about dimwits any longer. The dimwits are utterly insane, numbed, clueless, enslaved and brain-damaged. Furthermore, when any real or imagined disaster strikes, the habituated response from every dimwit is... to beg the predators-that-be to take more power over their lives.
And so, at this late stage of their agenda, the only remote worry the predators-that-be might have is...
NON dimwits.
And... what is the nature of those chemtrails?
EVERYONE, including non-dimwits who lives near any major nation gets continually dosed with those chemtrail chemicals whether they like it or not. And further, EVERYONE, including non-dimwits eats food dosed by those chemtrails... even natural and organic foods (except a small percentage grown far, far away).
And so, chemtrails are the easiest, cheapest and most obscure way to destroy the health and brains of NON-dimwits.
The only way to avoid being destroyed?
Get outta dodge. Far out!
Where have I heard that advice before?
Nice analysis honestann. I concur.
Getting out is definitely a key survival tactic for, as you say - this late stage. And you need permission to get out - a passport. I think this can devolve further into a virtual lockdown state at some point. So, go soon and/or learn to sail a boat.
Sadly, it seems this is the late stage. I wonder where it is that they live and get their food and air from? Or, are they detoxing their way through this while avoiding the poisons set on our tables?
I admit the process isn't necessarily easy. But hey, it's your freaking life we're talking about here (and your family, if you have one).
I freely admit taking the actions I did was easier for me than for many folks. However, people can take steps to overcome them. I am a bit surprised to hear your comments about passports... maybe I missed some important news items the past few years, but I thought travel was still fairly easy.
Oh, just for fun, let's consider this issue. In the three years I've lived here, I have visited what I considered interesting places in 16 fictional nations. In every case I just flew my tiny little airplane to some remote location, flew around, landed, did my hiking, took my vacation photos, got back in my airplane and flew away. I never asked for permission, never asked for a visa, never did any paperwork, etc.
Yes. I am a thoughtful and careful individual, and I very much don't visibly flaunt my freedom. Just the opposite - usually I arrive at my location and land at night or just after dawn. I carefully research my landing options well before I travel. Since my dinky little airplane can land and takeoff in less than 80 meters of roll, all I need is a short bit of remote roadway, often a stretch of private road to a private ranch. 80 meters isn't very much in the boonies... I've landed in several front yards (with prior communication and agreement). Whenever I can, I like to land between 2am and 4am under a full moon. I have great night vision, so being dark adapted under a full moon is almost like flying in daytime.
My point? Who needs passports. Who needs permission? You can buy the same airplane I did, except you can get the virtually identical light sport aircraft model if you don't have a pilot license already. Then you only need 20 hours training and a freaking drivers license to legally fly the sucker in the USSA (even less elsewhere).
I suspect your boat solution works too, though having little boat experience, I wonder how difficult it might be to travel thousands of miles to a good destination. At economy speed (240kph) I average slightly better than 70mpg, and with my extreme range tanks (twice as much fuel), I can fly over 4000km non-stop. And with my in-cabin fuel blatters accessories I could fly over 6000km non-stop... though that's a long, long ride at only 240kph.
Obviously your boat or my airplane may not be the best approach for many folks. Probably, if I was less independent (and not a private pilot), I'd probably try to find some like minded folks, including a pilot, share the expense of some old DC3 or something, and fly a couple dozen people to freedom at the same time. Actually, probably a water vessel is better for larger groups of escapees.
But seriously... is it really difficult to get outta dodge already? I hadn't heard that. Sure, maybe difficult to "get permission from a target nation to permanently move" (to some but not all destinations). But... why would anyone think they need permission to travel the earth? Snakes and lizards don't ask permission to crawl across fictional borders, birds don't ask permission to fly across fictional border, so why would any freedom lover do so?
With the increasingly suckoid global economy, there's gotta be a lot of cheap vessels on the market at bargain prices.
It is not difficult to travel out of the USSA at this time. But the fact that one needs permission to leave one plantation and to enter another is bizarro. If you are too free thinking and outspoken, the plantation may even revoke your day pass to keep you close. And there don't seem to be any places that aren't plantations, just some better - others worse and maybe you can be let alone for longer or shorter times depending on which you choose. The less "first world" the better - for now I guess. I have a place in mind.
Your aircraft seems interesting. Got noise cancellation technology onboard for stealth night flights? Does it have a name? Flight Of Fancy perhaps?
; )
Yes, I understand what you mean.
No noise cancellation, but a very shallow glide ratio (something like 17:1 with no help from updrafts). And it can fly very high --- some dude flew one over mount everest about one year ago with a slightly different variant of the engine. Personally I stay below 25,000 feet. At 17:1 and 5 miles up, I'll let you do the math... you can be very quiet for a very long time that way! If you need to. I really haven't, though I do tend to glide the last 10 miles or so.
The airplane is no secret, I've mentioned it before in my messages. It is a pipistrel virus sw with 100hp 912iS rotax engine, with extreme range tanks, full glass cockpit including GPS, 3-axis autopilot... and what else do you need?
PS: You may well hear or read lower estimates of fuel economy (30mpg~50mpg), but they're about the older engines and not slowing down 40kph~50kph from cruise speed (287kph) to economy speed (230kph~250kph). That 70mpg to 75mpg of mine is averaged over many thousand kilometers. My longest hop when flying across the south pacific is about 3850 kilometers. As you can imagine, I always fly that hop at economy speed.
Thank you from the few.
Ann I agree with most everything you say but that omg RUN thing? Really? Panic is not a plan.
Panic? For many years I explored the planet for a place to escape. Just over 3 years ago I finally moved to my personal paradise, and spent 90% of my life savings to create a self-sufficient place in the extreme boonies with no access by land vehicle, 125km from the nearest human being. Life is great with my tiny little super-efficient high-tech 70mpg carbon-fibre airplane makes that no problemo. No need for land vehicles any more.
I totally love living here... best decision I ever made. My standard of living and peace of mind (not to mention peace and quiet) are now astronomical.
No panic involved. Took two years to implement. And I am a single wimpy 5'5" 105 pound female, all by myself. If I can do it, anyone with fortitude can... though I admit being a scientist, engineer, private pilot and life-long intransigent individualist did make it easier for me than for some. When I say "all by myself", I don't mean I built everything by hand myself. I didn't. Except for the solar-power system and the technological infrastructure (which I did myself), I paid others to build everything, and others to help me get everything out to my remote site and assemble the large pieces. I'm no grunt worker, unfortunately.
Sure, maybe someone just starting today should move quicker. I saw in general pattern what was coming since when my age was still in single digits, with increasing clarity as time passed.
BTW, panic is only appropriate when you have far less time than you need to take appropriate action. Well, seems to me that people still have enough time to take appropriate action. And so, panic is not yet necessary. Yet.
However, how many people will take the endless obvious signals that they need to get outta dodge? When will people actually get outta dodge? Fact is, millions of us have gotten outta dodge in the past 5 to 10 years, and probably a few million more will get outta dodge before time is so short that panic is unavoidable.
Which means, don't wait. Make your plans, then move.
Or, do the easy thing, just hang around, and let yourself be thrown under the bus.
Everyone has this choice, and the choice is theirs to make.
Hey honestann, are you looking to establish any sort of community outside of family in your remote corner of the world? Just wondering. Being alone is not the same as being lonely - this I get. But simply for safety and comaraderie, are you interested in having neighbors at all? Are you sub-trpoical or tropical? Do you see the Southern Cross or Ursa Major at night?
"It's the end of the world as we know it - but I feel fine..."
Cheers!
Originally I thought so. But after building my whole place out, and loving it so much here, I got a bit paranoid. Literally nobody on the planet knows I am here, or that anyone or anything is here. I made my place invisible from anywhere on the land, and even from the air it is not visible... unless by some total freak accident some very low-flying helicopter was to accidentally wander very close by. Even if they did, my place doesn't look like much from above or nearby (on purpose), so no reason anyone flying past would imagine someone was hiding here.
And so, I decided not to bring others to my own little paradise.
However, a few others have asked me something similar, and I always agree to help them find locations, help with design and self-sufficient systems. And if something great appears likely to happen (get built), I might even set up a tiny "vacation hut" in the pico-community. If chosen by a group, one utterly awesome location in particular that I found would definitely attract me to opt for a "tiny home away from home".
I am very secretive about where I chose, for the obvious reasons. However, I have said that I live in the southern hemisphere, somewhere between the most eastern point on south america and most western point on australia. I'm sure other places in the southern hemisphere outside that range would be great, but I simply lack personal experience anywhere east of the mid-atlantic or west of western australia.
I don't want to be too specific, but you can be fairly confident that the center of the milky way passes within a few degrees of the zenith from my digs. Same goes for that other very special location I mentioned, which (in my opinion) is the most awesome location to live on planet earth (yet far away from human beings, though not as far as my place is). Mind-blowing views, great weather all year, totally unique combination of environments, just awesome. But if you like shopping malls, well, you won't find any of them for at least 100km. In fact, you won't find much of anything for nearly 100km, not even a convenience store.
If you have a tiny group seriously thinking about something along these lines, I am willing to try to help. And if it becomes clear the groups is actually gonna "go for it", I might be willing to be more directly involved. And if you choose somewhere that really appeals to me... on some tiny island in the south pacific, or the high andes, or somewhere else awesome, I might be inclined to hedge my bets with a tiny vacation hut.
I have to say, though, that after active, enthusiastic and promising starts and the first few months, two other groups just... gradually... petered out. So, I really do prefer to help people who will follow through.
PS: I don't have family. I work via internet with a few other volunteers scattered across the world (southern-hemisphere) on a breakthrough technology that will change everything (well, for us anyway). I really am a loner type, and quite happy this way. But I have nothing against really good folks, either.
do you have a web site?
Whatever for? I have nothing to sell, love solitude and privacy, and not looking to be popular or social. I'm willing to help people seriously dedicated to setting up their own [self-sufficient] paradise, but don't need a website for that.
its concepts like this where I double take and look at the shit ton of friends and family I have around here, otherwise...I'd be long gone from this locale...
Yes, shit tons of family and friends tend to do that. Personally, I simply cannot tolerate dishonesty, stupidity and insanity... which means I cannot tolerate the vast majority of human beings any closer than internet-length.
I understand that most humans "need" company. I don't. I do enjoy my interactions with the other collaborators with on the project I mentioned, but they are all sane, honest, rational, friendly people - which is more-or-less a requirement of working on our project.
Everyone has to make their own decision. Long ago I used to think people would form mutual support groups, sorta like I've heard the Amish did or do. You know, so if some government predator shows up, you push a button that alarms your friends, and a couple dozen heavily armed friends show up and chase away or eliminate the predators.
But that hasn't happened... at least not that I know, and not people willing to go all the way to protect themselves and their fellows from fictional authoritarian predators. The one and only positive sign I've seen was that Bundy ranch in Nevada issue, and frankly I'm hard pressed to understand how that happened.
Also, frankly, that approach doesn't work unless thousands or tens of thousands of these kinds of mutual support and defense groups form, because the predators-that-be will go to any lengths to demonstrate their absolute dominance if they can. Which they can over a few groups, but not thousands.
All I can say is, if you want to stay, carefully make some brilliant plans, and execute them perfectly. And do not trust anyone in your circle of family and friends to NOT tell everything they know about you and your preparations to the predators when the time comes. They WILL squeal like pigs, and you must count on that in your planning.
What if the Pilgrims hadn't run?
Not necessary to equate leaving with panic or defeat. It is another survival tactic. Perhaps even a remote command center?
First off the Pilgrims had a place to run too. You can run but you cant hide from this. Not really.
Secondly some things are worth fighting for. Win or loose sometimes you must fight. The future is one of those things worth fighting for. I for one am tierd of watching the self serving set the course. May be there is not a dam thing I can do about it? Maybe?
We should try. They fear a concesus forming as they should. Some very sharp and well focused people all over the world are starting to get it. The tradespeople are catching on fast now. Those are the only ones that matter.
Getting your system out of the fiat is good. Dine and dash? Not so much.
An accident of birth is no reason to remain somewhere you're not welcome.
Welcome to earth.
Welcome to normal.
Welcome to your choice.
But remember, it is your choice.
So......other than #3 you liked the article?
Wonderful. Thank you for commenting.
Hey, I like your stuff, and look forward to your conclusion (which I assume will be part 3). However, I had to respectfully say something, without trying to be annoying.
Your treatment of #3 felt very much like when people work long, hard and diligently to understand something, then finally "figure it out" (in their own mind). What very often happens is... from that moment on, they are so sure they've "figured it out", that they too easily wave off other alternatives (even ones that previously they considered leading contenders).
Most folks have no idea how utterly nefarious, diabolical and predatory the predators-that-be are. Well, probably they always have been, but haven't had the advanced technology they do now, not to mention the endless supply of utterly amoral "scientists" and "engineers" who will say anything and do anything and kiss their feet for a pat on the head and a paycheck.
I don't know what your payoff in #3 will be (assuming there is one), and I look forward to it, and will consider it objectively. However, at the very least, I wonder what is your reaction to the weakness I claim to see in your comments about #3.
Keep up the good work.
PS: I don't see chemtrails where I moved to in the southern hemisphere 3 years ago. And I don't recall seeing them anywhere in my trips back and forth across the south pacific ocean in the past 3 years, not when I was flying (my own plane), and not when I spent a few days on various tiny islands. So... whatever they're doing, it would seem to have to be something that gets the job done without global coverage. Also, it is blatantly clear that the predators-that-be would openly brag about their chemtrail programs if they were able to explain they are beneficial. They haven't.
Ummmmmm...........it seems you don't understand that I did not write this piece or this series. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I guest posted it for Morpheus_at_TIF. Please scroll back to the very first comment under the article where I clearly state who wrote it and I introduce Morpheus to the readers. Here is the link.
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-12-14/skyception-chapter-two-%E2%80%9...
Directly under my comment introducing Morpheus you will find that he responds and accepts authorship of the piece.
His 'name' is also placed under the title all the way at the top.
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-12-14/skyception-chapter-two-%E2%80%9...
Plus there are dozens of references to Morpheus in the comments. Plus Morpheus has left comments about the article he wrote.
Also Chapter Three was already posted elsewhere and the link has been placed at least a dozen times in the comment section as well as in the very first comment by me. Here it is again.
Chapter Three is posted exclusively on TwoIceFloes.com with no membership required. Please click here for the third and final chapter of Skyception.
Thank you for your comments. Please click the link above and read chapter three.
Yeah, sorry, I did miss that. My fault. Also, I have an informal policy of not following links from ZH, just to control how much time I spend on the internet. So I'll wait to see part 3 when it appears here.
ZH is pretty much my only "time-waster" (time not spent on our project), except walking around under the southern sky late at night. I'm trying to get up the courage to go cold turkey on ZH too. Wish me luck. Many people will be happy to see my messages vanish! Me too.
No, Honestann. I liked hearing about your flying, your plane, and your escape from dodge.
Actually you have me a little interested in foreign destinations and planes & boats again.
Unfortunately I am not much of a techy, so any life I live is probably going to be simple.
A simple life in south america or island in the south pacific is perfectly plausible. No need to emulate a technut like me. Even NZ is possible (English speaking), but their predators-that-be hold their noses high and get very snobby about who they "allow in", so on that basis alone I crossed NZ off my list.
Most people don't know it, but there are some pretty nice islands (up to 10+ km) with some pretty high elevations (up to a few thousand feet) in the south-pacific that still have a population of zero. But that's probably too much hassle for someone like you, unless you have a collaboration of a few people.
Nonetheless, there is no reason not to move in a conventional way to some nice but remote place in the south pacific. Maybe Cooke Islands, maybe... damn, can't think of the name off hand, but also great and in the same neck of the ocean. Or Vanuatu, a fairly libertarian set of islands (but mostly not as pretty as most others).
Don't assume my way is the only way. Actually, a move can be very easy. The biggest barrier is fear. But no need for fear. In my experience, if you're willing to behave in a happy, humble and helpful way, you'll be accepted in pretty much any remote island or location in the part of the world that I know about.
And you'll even find some way to earn a living within a year. So if you can live for a year on savings (say, $15,000 or so), by the time that runs out, you'll have some other way to keep yourself going.
The biggest barrier for most folks is... you have to take that "leap of faith". Or think of it as "play the odds". Like I said, IF you are happy, humble and helpful (the locals see you that way), you're chances are excellent. Better than if you stay at home (eventually, anyway).
It is literally true that you can sell everything, buy a conventional round-trip airplane ticket to a great many places in south america and south pacific, fly there, and simply STAY. Don't be a jerk, act like you belong there, and nobody will EVER ask for "your papers". Once they get used to seeing you around for a year or three, everyone will swear on your behalf that you're a local and have lived there forever. Besides, they just don't care.
In some places like Chile, you can literally get a permanent rentisa visa. Just live there for a year, then apply. All you need to show is that you have enough money to support yourself, which some documents say can be as low as $300 per month! Of course, you don't want to live that cheap a life (probably), though you can in far northern and far southern Chile (forget the middle, too expensive).
If you tell me what kind of climate and environment and population density you like (boonies, village, tiny town, town, small city, big city), maybe I can give you a few ideas. But, if you like living on an island, you just can't beat the feeling of peace, quiet, happiness, contentment and essential "near absence of government" attitude that prevails.
Also, consider this tip, which makes such a move much easier for some. You don't have to stay! Obviously you can move back to your comfort zone, or better yet, go try another location before you tuck tail and "go home". But you CAN always go home. You CAN. What would stop you if you had to, or wanted to? Answer: nothing. And so, in fact (if you have the right perspective), moving to the southern-hemisphere (or just somewhere close like Acapulco, Mexico) can be thought of as a test. Which it is... since you CAN move back if you want.
You know how much chance you'll want to move back? About 2%. What some people do is put everything they don't take with them on a pallet in some friend or relative's garage, then move. After 1 month, 3 months or 6 months when you realize "no way I'm moving back to that crazy rat-race", you call some shipping company to pick up your pallet and send it to you. A whole 40-foot container worth of stuff costs $3500 to ship to Chile or Argentina, and a little more to random islands in the south-pacific.
Yes, you are correct. I don't have to buy a house or land in one of the places I try. Renting can give you flexibility to pull up roots and try a different niche.
I don't know a lot about island location, but have followed retirees type info which draws me toward places with hospitals. Philippines has like 7,000 Islands, but also lots of people & pirates & Rebels. Manila is too busy, too crowded and too poor. Plus it is hot so as you say many might try for highlands. Malaysia might be that way.
deleted the rest.
Great comment on a great article.
Wonderfully speculative...the best part being Tarpley's signs of gatekeeping which I hadn't come across before. Really two eassays in one, one speculating on solar and cosmic weather being the driver of "chem trails " and or global warming; the other on the various forms of and the recognition of psychological operations. I'm not certain if this was a waste of time reading this piece or not. Time will tell.
"I'm not certain if this was a waste of time reading this piece or not. Time will tell."
By the time you figure out this was not a waste of time you will have forgotten the article, thus never knowing you were wrong in your assessment.
At least read Chapter Three. Maybe that will convince you one way or another.
That recognition thing is super ok with me. Clean a lot of filters so to speak?
