BTW, considering how much we have passively altered global weather patterns
with pollution, is anyone besides me alarmed that we are now actively
tampering with Mother Nature? When will we learn not to mess with Mother Nature?

Mystery Contrails Said Analyzed To Be Ehtlyene Dibromide

Ethylene Dibromide Follow-Up
Your website viewers may be interested in this EDB followup. We shouldn't be
too hasty to conclude that our government is trying to exterminate us with
ethylene dibromide (EDB). Our government has been known to make mistakes, big
ones, without malice, and
this is just one more of them. Occam's Razor points out a logical, simpler and
less sinister explanation for the use of such a compound.
For many years, the cloud seeder of choice was Silver Iodide, which was both
expensive and produced less than optimal results. I believe that the origins
of the health problem we're seeing with ethylene dibromide (as a seeder) can
be resolved by a quick glance at the Periodic Table of Elements.
Bromine sits directly above Iodine on the chart, which translates into very
nearly identical chemical properties for the two elements. In its haste to
engineer the weather, our government scientists would be driven by the
periodic table to look for cheaper ways to create rain on demand, and that
would instantly cause the scientists to select and test a (preferably already
existing) bromine compound. Plus, the scientists would conclude prior to
testing that the chemically lighter bromine compound just might diffuse
better, form a condensate nucleus better and ultimately cause more
precipitation than the old silver iodide. Mark this up to more government
failure to test the product for its intended use before overpurchasing. Are we
seeing more precipitation as a result of these tests? (OOPS!) And it would
make sense to a government which overpurchased to dump the stuff in the sky
where again the scientists would have told you that it would diffuse so as to
be ineffective at ground level. They didn't take into account the tendency of
the stuff to form glops and clobber pedestrians after being combined with JP-8
exhaust products which leave the final compressor stage at elevated
temperatures. You can usually follow the money trail to the source of a
government snafu.
Now for the clincher.
Some of your readers are claiming relief from their ethylene dibromide
poisoning by ingesting silver compounds. Remember Silver Iodide? Well, it
makes as much sense to bind your (unintentionally) extra bromine to silver as
it did to bind iodine to silver for the original cloud seeder. Silver bromide
is the result, and your system will eliminate it just as it will any other
unnecessary chemical compound. But, your system will have a difficult time
with any extra silver you ingest over and above the amount needed to bind the
bromine in your system. Please let your readers know that overdoses of heavy
metals can cause them as many problems as the bromine compound that got them
into respiratory distress in the first place. Only ingest heavy metal
compounds as prescribed by a licensed physician and after ethylene dibromide
poisoning has been confirmed--which is not an "at the Doctor's office test"
as explained by the fact sheet below! However, your patients may wish to steer
their Doctor towards a test for excessive bromine after exposure to the
falling goop (as opposed to just assuming they've got the flu) because this
stuff is so difficult to detect once it gets into your system.
You may also wish to advise your readers to inform their elected
representatives that the bromine compounds belong in certain over-the-counter
medications--not as an aerosol to be administered in a medically uncontrolled
environment such as walking down the street.

The lab director of Aqua-tech Environmental using samples taken from JP-8
contaminated fields of Maryland and Pennsylvania, reported today (9/18/97)
that ethylene dibromide, otherwise known as EDB, has been the contaminate in
the fuel and water samples submitted by farmers, pilots and tanker drivers.
EDB is one of the most tightly controlled EPA substances and was banned in
1983 due to its carcinogenieity. EDB is a pesticide that apparently is being
placed in the jet fuel and dispersed on a daily, almost non-stop basis
in our skies. The lines filling our skies are not contrails. The lines are
dispersed and may linger for hours, slowly filtering down to unsuspecting
pests, and I guess we're the PESTS.
Water samples are contaminated with EDB and crops are dying. EDB is just one
more avenue for the New World Order folks to starve us to death and make us
ill by weakening our already compromised immune systems. Exposure to this
toxic chemical may lead to cancer, liver and kidney damage, pulmonary edema,
damage to a developing fetus and reproductive organs of both men and women.
Let's not forget that the chemical may also cause sterility. Doesn't that fit
into their plan for population control? They have really found the perfect chemical.
EDB is a carcinogen and a mutagen that may also cause eye and skin irritation,
cardiopulmonary arrest, and binds to DNA. Skin blisters and respiratory
failure are other conditions caused by ethylene dibromide. The conditions are
too numerous to list but this will give you an idea of problems caused by this
chemical. EDB is a carcinogen at any exposure level and humans are more
susceptible than animals to the acute toxic affects. This does not mean that
it will not kill animals. We have reports from California and Wyoming of the
birds dying.
Ethylene dibromide was used in leaded gasoline until 1983 to remove lead from
engines and was found in engine exhaust. This chemical is a heavy liquid with
a chloroform-like odor that becomes a gas at temperatures greater than 40
degrees F. The higher the temperature it is dispersed at the more toxic It
becomes, therefore dispersing from a jet would be ideal, The compound is
stable, meaning it does not easily decompose. This would account for the
substance staying in the sky for long periods of time. EDB is only slightly
soluble in water, but dissolves easily in organic solvents. JP-8 is considered
an organic solvent. A water sample from rain would be an excellent way to
verify contamination and a fuel sample so much the better.
Please note that EDB is a colorless liquid, with a sweet odor, however no
smell does not mean you are not being exposed. Substances are also added that
counteract the smell. Pilots please note that dispersing JP-8, along with
these toxic chemicals is killing people. You are not counteracting any type of
biological that has been spread, or any antidote of any type.
We now have proof that our government is using chemical agents on populated
areas. They are adding it to military jet fuel. Have you ever looked up at a
vapor trail behind military aircraft flying so high a symbol of America's
power. Look again!! Commerical jets also leave a lovely (non-toxic) vapor
trail when the heat from the turbines come in contact with the cool air,
condensing the water droplets into steam. Softly the lines diffuse into the
blue sky. So what is different about the military aircraft? The answer is
simple. It's the fuel. JP-8+100 is some really bad stuff.
When you look up over the skies of New York City on a clear, sunny morning you
see the military aircraft making patterens across the sky with their vapor
trails. The smoke is thick and does not go away. When it comes in contact with
the sunlight it turns to a purple
color, then dissipates into an overcast purple haze.
So what is this purple haze? A fuel sample of JP-8+100 was taken to an
independent lab (NON GOVERNMENT FUNDED) and broken down. The sample revealed
two toxic substances. 1. Ethlyene Dibromide 2. Zinc Chloride.
1. EDB attacks the liver, lungs , and skin, causing liver damage, lung and
skin cancer. Also, EDB lowers the immune system by depleting the body of B
vitamins and zinc. Answer to the problem--use a B Complex vitamin and Zinc.
2. We don't know the effects of Zinc Chloride yet.
