I would like to address the letter to the editor in the Comox Valley Record, by Kenneth MacDonald, in response to my letter to the editor. Firstly, I did not appreciate the pompous, condescending tone of his letter. Labelling concerned citizens, such as myself, as well as the many others who are concerned about this problem, "pot smokers" and "simple minded", reveals much about his attitude toward the public, and his maturity level.

He attempts to debunk chemtrails with half-truths, apparently in the hopes that those "simple minded" people, who do not take the time to delve further into the subject, will see this as an explanation. What an insult to our intelligence! If the chemtrails do not come from the military, then why hasn't the military been more forthcoming about where they do come from, and what they are? One would expect that an organisation whose job it is to serve the public, would certainly be willing to address the public's concerns, if there was nothing to hide.

Why, at the beginning of April, did Barack Obama admit that they are "looking into" spraying pollution particles into the atmosphere to deflect the suns rays (http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D97ECHLG1&show_article=1)? Why has the US governnment categorized chemtrails as an "exotic weapons sytstem" (see Bill H.R. 2977), if they don't exist? If they don't exist, why did the UK government openly admit to spraying large areas of the population for biowarfare research purposes (http://www.guardian.co.uk/Archive/Article/0,4273,4398507,00.html)? Finally, what about the US governments Indirect and Semi-Direct Aerosol Campaign (http://acrf-campaign.arm.gov/isdac/)? Although Kenneth is so obviously far more enlightened than we concerned civilian peons, it appears he is just "simple-minded" enough to overlook a few important facts.

PS. I should hope Kenneth's attitude toward individuals who are concerned enough about the safety of their families to ask questions and voice those concerns, is not representative of the attitude of military personnel, in general!

Oops,

I jumped to conclusions in my earlier post. The Record did in fact print my chemtrail letter. I assumed that since 2 issues had been published since writing the letter, they were not going to print it, as a previous letter I sent was published immediately. Sorry for jumping to conclusions like that, and a big thanks to the Record for printing my letter. -Tanya

Disappointed...

I was very dissapointed to see that my letters to the editors of Courtenay's 2 main newspapers were never published. This says a lot about how controlled the media is. You would think the fact that we are being sprayed with poisons was important, what with the papers focussing so much lately on being "green", and Earth Day, and the like. You would think it would be in the public interest to let people know the military, our military, is participating in joint operations with the US, is pumping (apparently aluminum, barium, "harmless" virusses, etc.) into our atmosphere, into the air we breathe each day, and worse yet LYING about it. You'd think people would at least want to know about this. But no. Apparently there are more important things.
I bet many folks in the CV don't realize that the Echo (and most of the print media in Canada) is owned by Conrad Black, member of 3 organisations (The Bilderberg Group, The Trilateral Commision and the Council on Foreign Relations) whose objective is to implement a "New World Order" and to depopulate the earth by 90%, 'cause 6 Billion is too hard to control, you know. Hmm, could these chemtrails have ANYTHING to do with said depopulation program? I know, I know. This is all just conspiracy theory, right? Nothing to worry about, head back in the sand.
Fortunately there are a few local publications (The Cumberlander, The Word) who aren't controlled by big media interests, and that allow anyone to have their say. I have and will continue to try to get this message out through less censored publications, as well as the internet and word of mouth. Thanks to the internet, I realize I'm not alone. As I suggested below, check out the growing number of local YouTube chemtrail videos. Search "Comox Chemtrails" on Google, and discover for yourself that people have been trying to bring this issue to light for years now, and it is being supressed.
To military personnel, newspaper editors and others who's actions (or lack thereof) have served to supress the issue of chemtrails, who might say "It's classified", or, "It's too controversial", or whatever your excuses may be, I would ask of these people, which is more important. Your jobs, money and reputation, or the health, safety and human rights of the citizens of the Comox Valley and our children? Your answer will be evidenced by whether you choose to continue to cover up this issue.

What are these strange lines in the sky?

CFB Comox Caught Lying About Chemtrails


"On December 8, 2000, Terry Stewart, the Manager for Planning and Environment at the Victoria International Airport, responded to a caller's complaint about the strange patterns of circles and grids being woven over the British Columbia capitol. Stewart left a message on an answering machine tape - a message that later was heard by more than 15 million radio listeners. Stewart explained: "It's a military exercise, [a] US and Canadian Air Force exercise that's going on. They wouldn't give me any specifics on it."Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Comox on Vancouver Island is Canada's biggest radar installation. CFB Comox is easily capable of tracking the US formations coming up from the south. When asked for a response to Stewart's statement, the base information officer at CFB Comox replied tersely that: "No military operation is taking place." Stewart later told the Vancouver Courier that his information had come directly from Comox. By the summer of 2001, pictures of contrails were being circulated by the Associated Press and the word "chemtrails" could be overheard in coffee shop conversations across the continent." -Found at http://www.earthisland.org/

Chemtrails Vs. Contrails


"What's the difference between a jet contrail and a chemtrail? According to the U.S. Air Force, jet contrails form above 33,000 feet when hot engine exhaust momentarily condenses ice crystals into pencil-thin vapor trails that quickly vanish like the wake behind a boat. Chemtrails (CTs) look like contrails initially, but are much thicker, extend across the sky and are often
laid down in varying patterns of Xs, tick-tack-toe grids, cross-hatched and parallel lines. Instead of quickly dissipating, chemtrails expand and drip feathers and mare s tails. In 30 minutes or less, they open into wispy formations which join together, forming a thin white veil or a "fake cirrus-type cloud" that persists for hours." -From Chemtrail FAQ's at http://www.rense.com/


My Concerns...


Recently (over the past couple of months), I have been noticing what I believe to be chemtrails in the sky above Courtenay. The trails I have observed last several hours, slowly spreading out to form wispy cloud-like formations. Most any time I look outside (except, of course, when it's really cloudy), I see these chemtrails, often in parrallel lines, or criss-crossing in a grid pattern accross the sky. The only time I have not seen any chemtrails lately, was for a few days around the Easter holiday, which co-incided with the Snowbird's visit.
As of today, they are back out in full force. I am very concerned, as I have learned chemtrails are associated with a variety of health complaints, many of which I personally suffer from. There are several theories as to what the purpose of these military operations might be, from weather control, to, more disturbingly, population control. Whatever their reasons, we have the right to know what's going on, and we are entitled (whether the powers that be believe so, or not) to have a say into what gets sprayed into the air we breathe. I invite anyone living in the Comox Valley to go outside on a clear day, and see for yourself. They're not hard to find once you know what you're looking for.
On some days, the majority of "clouds" in our skies, are actually chemtrails that have been sitting for awhile. I try to keep a positive attitude, but sometimes it can be downright depressing when everytime I look up I see plumes of who-knows-what lingering in an otherwise beautiful sky.
Hopefully, this blog will get people asking questions, and paying attention to what I feel is vandalism of our beautiful scenery and an assault on our environment,
our children and us. Maybe, if enough of us demand answers, the military will finally admit what they have been denying for so many years.


So What's The Point Of Chemtrails, Anyways?


"There are currently three main hypothesis:

Weather Modification

Humans have had the ability to physically affect the weather since learning how to seed clouds in 1946, or possibly 1880. The popular conception of weather manipulation is limited to cloud seeding, but the possibility that the extents of our abilities may have progressed in the meantime is definitely plausible. The fact that the military is very interested in weather control is no secret and many propose that the Chemtrail Phenomena is a part of this. If true, what is the goal of the weather modification and what negative effects could it have on the environment? NASA is currently conducting several programs that are studying the effects of contrails on weather and the effects do not appear to be beneficial.

Population Control

The use of chemical and biological agents by a government against it's own people is, unfortunately, a historical fact. Even unintentional accidents can occur. But, some people suggest that Chemtrails could actually be part of a program to reduce the population and many feel Chemtrails have caused them to become ill and perhaps they are right. If the Chemtrails contain biological agents then people already weakened by other factors may have even died as a result of the additional strain on their systems, but could such a diabolical purpose be the ultimate goal? History has taught that even the most unconscionable schemes can be made into reality by men filled with fear and hate, and with such weapons in the hands of government we must remain vigilant until answers are forthcoming.

Inoculation Program

Chemical and biological weapons have been used for centuries but have recently entered the world stage as a primary threat. Biological agents have the ability to spread and multiply in casualties. These bioweapons are easy to produce and difficult, but possible, to defend against. The recent actions of the military to require anthrax vaccines for all service personnel show that this matter is of high importance. Some propose that the government may be quietly releasing bioagents to vaccinate citizens via the air. This could account for reported illnesses since a vaccine sometimes makes a person sick. Municipal water supplies might not be universal enough and could be easily sampled and tested, but everyone breathes the air. And the federal government rules the air." -Found at http://www.chemtrailcentral.com/

Whatever the purpose of these operations, the trails I've witnessed are definitely NOT normal jet contrails. If the military want to continue to deny the existence of chemtrails, they should be providing the public with an explanation as to why these trails last for several hours, why they are laid out in parallel lines or grids across the sky, and why, unlike contrails, they fan out. We have the right to know!


Are Chemtrails Affecting YOU?


"Thousands of North Americans are complaining of acute asthma-like attacks, gastrointestinal problems, and lingering severe flu-like illnesses including a persistent dry hacking cough that eventually goes away – only to return. Other symptoms of chemtrail-related illness include sudden acute gushing nosebleeds, dizziness, migraines, joint pain, twitching eyelids and sudden extreme fatigue. Short-term memory loss and the inability to concentrate or enunciate simple thoughts are also common complaints. In Espanola, exposed townspeople all started forgetting where they’d parked their cars." -Found at http://www.willthomas.net/

Aside from these health concerns, I don't think the citizens of Courtenay-Comox should have to be reminded that the military is spraying poisons into our air, every time we look up. If kids spraypaint walls we call that vandalism, which is illegal. Which is worse? Both can be looked at as defacing our surroundings, but the implications posed by the presence of chemtrails is much more of a health and environmental hazard, and certainly a much sadder sight to behold than graffiti.
