Being “Green” and what it is costing you and your families

By: Bridget Conroy and Mike Caraway

The Big Hoax, the Bigger Lie and the Real Truth

Be an Educated Consumer and Protect the Future

Defenders of Wildlife and Mr. Green Gore list the compact florescent light bulbs as their first ‘bullet point’ for being “green” and what you can do to stop global warming:

 

*”One CFL bulb in every home is equivalent to taking 1 million cars off the road - 5,000 CFL’s save 1.3 million lbs of CO2” (quote from Defenders of Wildlife and Al Gore.  What pure bs! This statement alone identifies Al Gore and his minions as liars!

 

The 40-billion-a-year lighting industry alone stands to gain a ‘windfall’ from people switching to CFLs.  With the tax credits and a manufacturing boom, they also have a responsibility to label each package with proper handling instructions.

It is a fact of life that multi-national industries are raking in the Big Green Bucks. That is their business, but they absolutely must comply with safety and health recommendations to protect the health and future of our families, citing all EPA tips for end-of-life management to prevent or mitigate mercury release. This must be clearly stated on every package of CFLs , also a sign must be placed on every shelf where these CFLs are sold. Let every citizen be advised, and they can make informed decisions about which measures of “Being Green” best serve their families. (See the CFL petition in our articles section.)

 

This is NOT an internet hoax! (As claimed by Al Gore’s Arizona spokesperson, Mr. Scotty Johnson, when the issue was raised during his presentation of the inconvenient slide show).

 

Not one person in the audience questioned this statement, it then becomes written in stone!

 

 

We handed Mr. Johnson the EPA health and safety instructions which reads: recommended tips for safe end-of-life management to prevent mercury releases, which he did not read until several days later and then emailed us to say, oops, we were right. Being right is not going to protect the children of our community, only proper labeling on the CFL packaging and signs on every shelf where these bulbs are sold can ensure adequate measures to protect the public, especially that of the children.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Below is ‘verbatim’ from EPA Arizona, this is not a hoax!

 

“Recommended tips for safe end-of-life management to prevent mercury releases.”

 

If a Compact Fluorescent Lightbulb breaks:

  • Shut off the heat or air-conditioning in the room, open the windows and leave the room for 15 minutes, allowing mercury vapors to dissipate.
  • If the bulb breaks on a smooth surface, scoop up the fragments with a stiff piece of paper or cardboard and place everything in a lidded glass jar or sealed plastic bag. If it breaks on carpeting, carefully pick-up the fragments.
  • Use duct tape to pick up remaining fragments. Place the tape in a sealed jar or sealed bag.
  • For smooth surfaces, wipe the area clean with damp paper towel or disposable wet-wipes and place it in a sealed jar or sealed plastic bag.
  • For carpeting, vacuum until all fragments and powder are gone. Remove the vacuum bag and place it in a sealed plastic bag.
  • Immediately put all sealed plastic bags with clean up materials in an outdoor trash can.
  • Wash hands immediately.
  • **The next several times you vacuum the area, turn off the heat or air-conditioning and open the windows before you start.
  • **Keep the heat and AC off and windows open for 15 minutes after vacuuming.
  • **High humidity can shorten the life span of CFL, so ventilate the bathroom well if you use them there.
  • **CFL's are not recommended for use with dimmer switches.

I guess we might assume that the old time mercury thermometers did not harm anyone, so why should the compact mercury lightbulbs be harmful? Actually, we have seen hundreds of heads nod in acceptance to this false idea, and to a dangerous effect. The health effect of mercury vapor when inhaled will cross the blood brain barrier, which will deeply and seriously impact the brain's function, but where are the truth seekers?

We are not petitioning against these bulbs. No, because to do so would label us as an enemy of the environment and no one wants to be the enemy these days.

We only demand proper label instruction for “end of life” safety and health recommendations, as stated by the EPA. We wish to protect the children, the fragile, and yes, to protect the stupid too.

Protect your families and communities!

When we attended the rally at City Hall in Los Angeles for the opening of “An Inconvenient Truth”, we brought our own signs pointing to the unmentioned weather geo-engineering projects that are impacting our atmosphere, using HAARP electromagnetic transmissions into the metal plasma that our atmosphere has become, due to aerosol spraying. Many of the people attending the rally wanted to find out more about what we were saying, but the organizers of the rally tried to have us arrested, showing that they want to keep this information covered up. Thankfully, the City Hall police knew that this is still America, so we could freely speak in a public place, and they refused to arrest us.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Geo-Engineering our Environment: What Else is Green – Money and Algae.

 

“Polluters pay dearly to meet clean-air standards, so the market for 'credits' is booming. Carbon-eating algae could turn into a cash machine”.

 

It appears the people will do anything to prevent the nightmare, dooms-day scenario presented by the billion dollar, government funded campaigns of geo-engineering. This issue of global warming or climate change has gradually become a religious jihad.

 

It will pit neighbor against neighbor and family members against one another. “Mr. Green” is driving this machine called “climate change” and he wants to take you along for the ride of your life. The climate jihad is almost in the open now, armed with more than their stupidity.

 

Climate has always changed throughout recorded history; this is the nature of climate. Volcanoes erupt and counter balance atmospheric conditions, which turns the tables of climate very nicely. I hope the AP article below, dated February 13, 2008, will encourage people to continue our effort to speak the truth, and to continue to educate your representatives.

 

Take heart, because our voice is being heard, usually studiously ignored, but once in a while we can see the change of tides, as with Planktos Inc.:

 

The board of directors of Planktos Corp. (Pink Sheets:PLKT) today announced that the company has been forced to indefinitely postpone its ocean fertilization efforts once intended to promote marine plant life and generate ecological offsets for the global carbon credit market. "A highly effective disinformation campaign waged by anti-offset crusaders has provoked widespread opposition to plankton promotion in the environmental world, and has caused the company to encounter serious difficulty in raising the capital needed to fund its planned series of ocean research trials.” (AP- March 22, 2008)

For Planktos, Inc. the tide of funding is as empty as the Bay of Tampa and just perhaps our letters to U.S. Congress have had some impact. It is a bit late, for much of the damage has already occurred in our oceans, by the algae promoting practices of geo-engineering and Planktos practices of dumping iron into the oceans, to create a "carbon sink" of algae to absorb carbon dioxide. Please understand, this is a “cap and trade” practice.

Being “green” in this case of dumping Iron into the oceans, might refer to more algae bloom. Planktos Inc. is simply a method of ‘grabbing’ the dollars; generated by “cap and trade” geo-engineering” schemes. Geo-engineering and “cap and trade schemes are clearly about making billions of dollars, with little concern to the health of our families or that of our environment.

The Planktos Inc. green machine has dried-up.

 

Being “green” is about the greenbacks in the pockets of those who are clearly exploiting our families’ health and future without pause or conscience.

 

Our assertion is that private companies are cashing-in on the “carbon credit” for the theoretical prevention of global warming, without oversight and to the serious detriment of our environment, and potentially serious health impacts to our families, in the name of “Being Green”.

 

This chocolate bar may seem innocent and unrelated to the climate change swindle. But when you buy this chocolate bar, or a climate change lip balm, shampoo, etc., the manufacturer takes a tax write-off, then contributes some of the money from their inflated price and profits to a "Cap and Trade" broker, like one of Al Gore's or buddy's companies, which then invests the money into a firm like Planktos or a private weather modification company, which uses it for an unproven, unaccountable, unregulated geo-engineering project, like algae bloom promotion or weather control. So we pay many times over, in many ways, for this chocolate bar.

 

While one arm of Congress was subsidizing Planktos, the other was investigating the mysterious rise of Harmful Algal Bloom. The Congress found the following:

 

(1) A harmful algal bloom is a condition that occurs in ocean waters when a significantly large and highly concentrated growth of phytoplankton or algae produces biotoxins or otherwise causes negative effects.

 

(2) A common harmful algal bloom event known as Red Tide occurs when appropriate conditions allow for massive overgrowth of micro algae, causing phytoplankton blooms that discolor the water.

 

(3) Harmful algal blooms commonly occur in waters off the East and West coasts of the United States, as well as in the Gulf of Mexico, the Great Lakes, and the waters surrounding the offshore territories of the United States.

 

(4) Harmful algal blooms cause dangerous respiratory distress, burning eyes, and other ailments to individuals in affected areas, as well as the nationwide potential of severe food poisoning from the consumption of contaminated shellfish.

 

(5) Harmful algal blooms cause severe impacts to natural resources by way of illness and death to marine mammals, fish, sea turtles, and sea birds as well as coral reef and sea grass communities. As massive algal blooms die, their decomposition depletes oxygen from the water resulting in hypoxic (“twirling disease”) and anoxic conditions leaving vast dead zones in our coastal oceans and lakes.

 

(6) Harmful algal blooms cause significant economic harm to businesses and individuals engaged in fishing and shellfishing, as well as to communities and businesses that depend on their coastal location for tourism.

 

(7) Because harmful algal blooms are affected by many variables, including weather and currents, it is impossible to predict the location, timing, or duration of harmful algal blooms, and further study is needed to understand how these variables, as well as other environmental factors, may cause or contribute to the formation or maintenance of harmful algal blooms.

 

(8) The Harmful Algal Bloom and Hypoxia Amendments Act of 2004 provided a research framework for addressing harmful algal blooms and for consolidating research efforts.

 

THE ELEPHANT IN THE KITCHEN: Geo-Engineering in the Atmosphere –

 

Since at least 1998, a world-wide tropospheric aerosol program has been injecting metals, such as aluminum, barium, iron, manganese, magnesium, silicon, and others into our atmosphere. (Look in our articles section for the various “scientific” and military purposes and methods of geo-engineering OUR atmosphere.)

Dumping tons of particulate matter from aircraft has geo-engineered our planetary atmosphere into a highly charged, electrically-conductive plasma.

We know from the HAARP patents and military information about “non-lethal weapons”, as well as from our own eyes, that the plasma of ionized metals, which has been created in our atmosphere by aerosol operations, is being used to conduct various micro-, radar, extra low frequency, and other advanced electro-magnetic, wave energies. We have come a long way from the days of dry ice and silver iodide in the science of weather manipulation and control.

 

HEALTH EFFECTS (You can see more details in our articles and Arizona water charts sections):

 

Aluminum, Lung Disease, and Alzheimers --

 

Long lasting uptakes of significant concentrations of aluminum can lead to serious health effects, such as:

     -- Damage to the central nervous system

     -- Dementia

     -- Loss of memory

     -- Listlessness

     -- Severe trembling

Inhalation of finely divided aluminum and aluminum oxide powder has been reported as a cause of pulmonary fibrosis and lung damage. This effect, known as Shaver’s Disease, is complicated by the presence in the inhaled air of silica and oxides of iron. Inhaled aluminum goes directly to the brain, and medical specialists confirm that it causes oxidative stress within brain tissue, leading to formation of Alzheimer's like neurofibrillary tangles. Aluminum has been shown to be implicated in Alzheimer’s disease. Also reported in Maricopa County Health records, we have an extreme increase in the numbers of deaths due to Alzheimer’s between 2001 and 2005, when the aerosol operation was at its height.

I guess we might then conclude that people with diminished cognitive function ate too many meals from aluminum cookware? I can hear this now, is everyone nodding his or her head?

 

Barium and Organ and Immune System Damage --

 

A proven suppressant of the human immune system, atmospheric barium weakens human muscles, including those of the heart.

 

Small amounts of water-soluble barium may cause a person to experience breathing difficulties, increased blood pressures, heart rhythm changes, stomach irritation, muscle weakness, changes in nerve reflexes, swelling of brains and liver, kidney and heart damage. Barium has also been shown to turn off the body’s T-cells, which are critical to body’s immune system.

 

EPA reports that because PM10 and sub-micron pollution particles bypass lung filters and directly enter the blood stream, they cause radical changes in the endocrine and nervous systems. They can trigger high blood pressure and cause heart attack within two hours of inhalation. They cause the blood to become sticky, making it tougher for the heart to pump and increasing the risk of blood clots and vessel damage. Unfortunately, the aerosols being sprayed into our air are sub-micron in size, not to mention the metals as toxins in and of themselves.

According to the Maricopa County, Arizona, Dept. of Health, between 2001 and 2005, death due to atherosclerosis has increased by 90%. Hypertensive heart disease mortality increased by 42%. I have heard all the ideas of bad diets and smoking. These bad habits are not exclusive to the increased death rate. How can this be when war is being waged at our front doors, in the air we breathe? Perhaps the pharmaceutical industry is doing a bang-up business, and aren't we so happy about that? Especially if we own pharmaceutical stock?

Except, I wonder, why has the suicide rate increased also between 2001 and 2005, by 56%?

EFFECTS ON THE NATURAL WORLD (You can see more details in our articles section, and our “Strange Animal Deaths” forum):

Colony Collapse Disorder --

 

 

The earth's bee population is less than half of what it was 20 years ago. There are no more wild hives to pollinate crops. The planet is losing an essential part of the food chain, which will mean higher prices for the food that is available.

 

The majority of states are affected by CCD, and losses of 50% to 90% of colonies are being reported. The implications for agriculture are enormous.

 

 

 

Global dimming --

 

Scientists, who monitor the Earth's reflectance by measuring what is known as the moon's earthshine, have observed that the amount of light reflected by Earth -- its albedo -- has increased since 2000. The result has been less sunlight reaching the Earth's surface.

 

"Our findings have significant implications for the study of climate change," said Philip R. Goode, PhD, principal investigator and distinguished professor of physics at NJIT. "The results raise questions about how global temperatures can still rise when the amount of sunlight reaching the surface has decreased." The scientists find that the seemingly paradoxical result is due to an increase in the cloud cover coupled with a peculiar re-arrangement of the clouds, but are unsure why this is happening.

 

Agricultural crops and trees need direct sunlight in order to produce crops. Solar powered panels and cars also need direct sunlight to operate efficiently. Lack of sunlight promotes growth of mold and fungus, which impacts our health, crop production, and the entire environment.

 

From slower plant growth to less frequent precipitation, further dimming could eventually lead to food and water shortages in some regions. Other effects include increase growth of fungus and mold, lower crop yields, dying of the trees, and vitamin D deficiencies in humans.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our Food Supply --

 

The National Farmers Union reports, “The USDA projects global grain supplies will drop to their lowest levels on record. Further, it is likely that, outside of wartime, global grain supplies have not been this low in a century, perhaps longer”.

 

 

 

“Most important, 2007/08 will mark the seventh year out of the past eight in which global grain production has fallen short of demand. This consistent shortfall has cut supplies in half—down from a 115-day supply in 1999/00 to the current level of 53 days. The world is consistently failing to produce as much grain as it uses. The current low supply levels are not the result of a transient weather event or an isolated production problem: low supplies are the result of a persistent drawdown trend.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“In addition to falling grain supplies, global fisheries are faltering. Reports in respected journals Science and Nature state that 1/3 of ocean fisheries are in collapse, 2/3 will be in collapse by 2025, and our ocean fisheries may be virtually gone by 2048. Aquatic food systems are collapsing, and terrestrial food systems are under tremendous stress.

 

 

 

 

What can we do against something so big?

 

The geo-engineering operations against us, our families, and the natural world seem so overwhelming that a lot of people cannot even allow themselves to see it. Those of us who see what is going on have to point it out to the rest, so that together we can fight back.

 

 

Everything that is sprayed into our skies settles on our yards, gardens, and even on our children. The soil samples from the pristine mountain area of Cochise Stronghold in Southeastern Arizona, as determined by lab analysis, showed 2,650,000 parts per billion of aluminum, 44,000 parts per billion of barium, 3,550,000 parts per billion of iron, and 1,140,000 parts per billion of manganese. Remember that with each gust of wind these toxins are being re-suspended in the air we breathe, devastating our immune systems. This is a war on us.

 

 

Only a small percentage of the military atmospheric modification projects are visibly obvious. What we can't see is equally dangerous.

Owning the weather along with the developed electromagnetic pulse energy is all part of this lovely package.

Electromagnetic pollution is only part of the horrific realities we endure.

The Department of Homeland Security has been put in charge of weather-related threats and anomalies, as well as some strange animal death cases. With two sets of weather modification / mitigation bills having stalled in Congress, which we think is due to liability concerns, the executive branch has made weather and “climate change” a national security issue. The military program is supposedly not subject to the same checks and balances as laws passed by Congress.

Owning the weather owns the war. Manipulating the atmosphere owns the war.

 

 

 

 

 

There are many public activities that we can participate in, to raise awareness about the atrocities being commited in the name of geo-engineering, one person at a time.

 

We recently brought our own signs to an anti-war demonstration. Of course we are against this latest war, which so reminds us of the Vietnam war, including the wanton destruction of innocent lives and the natural environment for the profit of a few, and the stupifying thinking that we have to keep destroying the people of a foreign country to "spread democracy", or because there will be a "bloodbath" if we stop. How can anyone encourage our young men and women to give up their precious lives so a few perverted fascists can become richer?

 

Yet we also find ourselves asking: "What about the war on us, our children, our families, our loved ones, that is being waged daily in plain sight right above our heads? Do we have nothing to say about that?"

 

If the powers who are running these toxic operations did not fear we the people, wouldn't they openly admit what they are doing?

 

  Think about it.

  Catch them in their lies.

  Expose the impact of their actions

        on our health and on the natural world.

  Show up at their parades, their speeches, and

        their public rituals.

  Tell the truth to their many faces.

  This is a life or death situation, for us

        and our loved ones.

  We're counting on you!

  Yes, you in the media too.

  It will be our just desert and reward if we   

        continue to so stupidly and blindly follow the

        leader and believe what is being spoon-fed to

        us, as just "so much warm smooth pabulum"

        yummy.

  

It will be our just and due reward if we so stupidly and blindly ignore the war being waged at our front door.

Apathetic stupidity and personal cowardice is the enemy staring us in the face.

People, begin to think for yourselves.

It is a lonely road, not to belong to the greater herd, but the health and future of our families are

     depending on you to do independent thinking and then to speak  the truth.

Do your own thinking or someone will do it for you.

Just so you know.
