this link.
CCJ Publisher Rick Alan Rice dissects
the building of America in a trilogy of novels
collectively calledATWOOD. Book One explores
the development of the American West through the
lens of public policy, land planning, municipal
development, and governance as it played out in one
of the new counties of Kansas in the latter half of
the 19th Century. The novel focuses on the religious
and cultural traditions that imbued the American
Midwest with a special character that continues to
have a profound effect on American politics to this
day. Book One creates an understanding about
America's cultural foundations that is further
explored in books two and three that further trace
the historical-cultural-spiritual development of one
isolated county on the Great Plains that stands as
an icon in the development of a certain brand of
American character. That's the serious stuff viewed
from high altitude. The story itself gets down and
dirty with the supernatural, which inATWOOD
- A Toiler's Weird Odyssey of Deliveranceis the
outfall of misfires in human interactions, from the
monumental to the sublime.The
book features the epic poem"The
Toiler"as
well as artwork by New Mexico artist Richard
Padilla.

Meets Larry McMurtry
Western Crime
Novel
I am offering another
novel through Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing service.
Cooksin is the story of a criminal syndicate that sets its
sights on a ranching/farming community in Weld County, Colorado,
1950. The perpetrators of the criminal enterprise steal farm
equipment, slaughter cattle, and rob the personal property of
individuals whose assets have been inventoried in advance and
distributed through a vast system of illegal commerce.
It is a ripping good yarn, filled
with suspense and intrigue. This was designed intentionally to
pay homage to the type of creative works being produced in 1950,
when the story is set. Richard Padilla
has done his usually brilliant work in capturing the look and feel of
a certain type of crime fiction being produced in that era. The
whole thing has the feel of those black & white films you see on
Turner Movie Classics, and the writing will remind you a little
of Elmore Leonard, whose earliest works were westerns.

What the Huh?
California Contrails
By RAR
In 1996,
there was a paper published by the Air War College of the Department of
Defense titled "Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather by
2025" (use
this link to read the document). That abstract showed pretty clearly
that the Defense Department was conversant at least 20 years ago with the idea of militarizing
weather solutions. Would that include weather modification for the
purpose of influencing the citizens that the government represents?
KC-135 and C-130 aircraft are being used
for purposes that may include population control, according to federal
government whistle blower Kristin Meghan. She had an eleven-year career
doing bio-environmental engineering: monitoring health and environmental
standards through soil testing and remediation at U.S. Air Force
facilities. After noticing shipments of carcinogenic materials,
documented with Material Safety Data Sheets, arriving at an Air Force
Logistics Facility in California, where she was assigned, she started
looking into the notion of chemtrails and charting contrail dissipation
rates. She did sampling that found berryium (aluminum) in the soil in
the areas in which unusual contrails had been charted.
Meghan has
an inquiring mind, and an active imagination. Working at a Depot
Maintenance Base, where airplanes are torn down and rebuilt, she noticed
that these airplanes in maintenance were left white and without
insignias or identifying markings, for a time, after
sanding and repainting. She reasoned that, in their unmarked states, they would make perfect
vehicles for spraying chemical into the sky, producing what have come to
be known as "chemtrails".
Why would
the U.S. Government want to do such a thing to the environment? There
are two conspiracy theories, one that the U.S. government is secretly fighting
global warming by putting chemical dust in the atmosphere
(geo-engineering) for the purpose of reflecting sunlight. The notion is
that the health of our environment is much worse than government
environmental policy would lead you to believe, and the government is
resorting to emergency means to delay a planetary disaster. The other is that the government is performing
population management, on some level; or, otherwise put, spraying the
populace with a control substance.
Some people
suspect that both are true; that spraying aluminum spheres reflects the
light of the sun while also affecting population control through higher
mortality rates and lower birth rates.
Marking Christmas Eve
While
driving to my mother-in-law's house on Christmas Eve, 2014, I happened
to look up at the sky overhead, and there was a thick white cross in the
sky, stretching from horizon to horizon, almost perfect in its symmetry.
It looked like the reticule in a rifle scope, sighting in on California,
or up to the heavens, depending upon your point of view. It was so
defined, and seemingly so stuck in place in the sky, that it was really
noticeable.
I have not
really been very interested in the chemtrail controversies, because
there are just so many conspiracy items that one can hardly keep up with
them all. (Personally, I enjoy Bigfoot and both ancient and contemporary
extraterrestrials, mostly because everything else on TV is boring.) The
chemtrails conspiracy does dovetail rather nicely with Freedom of
Information Act discoveries of some pretty startling U.S. government
documents. In the late 1950s, for instance, there developed a plan
titled Operation Northwoods, in which "false flag" attacks on U.S.
populations would be staged to mobilize military actions against Fidel
Castro's Cuba. And you also have, in the U.S., a history of CIA
initiatives (MKUltra) aimed at manipulating the psychology of the
nation's citizens. The permanent government (versus our elected
representatives) of the U.S. has shown willingness to create programs to
manipulate the population through technological means.
The video
presented here is well-worth watching, because it presents scientists
discussing dramatic changes in the levels of certain particulates that
are showing up in U.S. soil samples. There is a contamination of the
environment taking place, in which aluminum and berryium are somehow
flooding into our ecosystem.
Diary Notes on Western Skies
As a
California resident, I have noticed some odd things in the sky. Below
are recent diary notes from April 4,
2015.
* * * * *
There was a
strange contrail crossing the eastern sky this morning.
I was up early, like 3:30 a.m., and working at my desk next to an
eastern facing window, which provides spectacular views of the sunrise
each morning.
Around the
time the sun first hinted at showing up this morning, when the horizon
was pink and blue, I noticed a contrail, such as you see left by jet
airplanes, that stretched across my entire field of view, north to
south. It was not wide, but it was dense, which was made noticeable by
the way it was picking up the hues of the morning sunrise. It was like a
thin but bright rainbow across the sky and it was beautiful. I’d never
really seen anything quite like it. In fact, I rushed to find my mobile
phone, which I never use, to try to take a photograph of it – which I
hardly know how to do – but I found that it was not charged. I came back
up to my office and watched it, amazed that it hadn’t dissipated in any
noticeable way, but remained a ribbon across the sky.
In fact, a
good twenty minutes after I had first noticed it, the contrail was still
there, and still intact, but had moved further to the east, as if blown
in a uniform fashion, as a line in the sky moving as a front in an
easterly direction. Or was it staying still and the rotation of the
earth simply changing my vantage point? Whatever, the line was still
there, quite visible and thick in the sky, blown a little wider than it
had been when I first saw it, but still quite intact. It was a little fluffier
looking than it had been before.
It is now
7.24 a.m. The contrail is still there, crossing my entire view of the
horizon, maybe an hour after I first noticed it. It is still largely
intact, a little fluffy, and very white against a robin’s egg blue sky
that is scuffed with wispy white clouds, creating a powdery effect.
I just
noticed that there is a second and third contrail paralleling the one
that has had my attention, which I can see in the eastern horizon, equal
distant apart, like how I used to apply fertilizer to field crops.
I just
finished writing that and looked a little higher in my horizon to see a
jet passing overhead, moving right to left across my field of vision,
and leaving a thick powdery contrail, but this one is only half as long
as the others, at best, and it is breaking up quickly. Very white.
And right on
its heels is another plane, a little further to the east but traveling
parallel to the one I just mentioned, and it is leaving a thick, white
contrail that is also breaking up rather quickly. So why can I still see
the much older contrails in the distance still intact, moving like a
front across the sky? - RAR
Spraying St. Louis '53-54
In
2012, a reporter named
Emily Anne Epstein,
writing for The Daily Mail in the U.K.,
revealed U.S. government documents that showed that
the U.S. Army had secretly sprayed radioactive
particles over low-income housing districts in St.
Louis, Missouri. There purpose was to test chemical
warfare technology.
Below are excerpts
from the piece she published on September 29, 2012.
Use this link to read the entire piece and see
some of Ms. Epstein's photographic evidence.
The United States
Military conducted top secret experiments on the
citizens of St. Louis, Missouri, for years, exposing
them to radioactive compounds, a researcher has
claimed.
While it was known
that the government sprayed 'harmless'zinc
cadmium silfide particles over the general
population in St Louis,Professor
Lisa Martino-Taylor, a sociologist at St. Louis
Community College, claims that a radioactive
additive was also mixed with the compound.
She has accrued
detailed descriptions as well as photographs of the
spraying which exposedthe
unwitting public, predominantly in low-income and
minority communities, toradioactive
particles.
'The study was secretive for reason.
They didn't have volunteers stepping up and saying yeah, I'll
breathe zinc cadmium sulfide with radioactive particles,' said
Professor Martino-Taylor toKSDK.
In Corpus Christi, the chemical was
dropped from airplanes over large swathes of city. In St Louis, the
Army put chemical sprayers on buildings, like schools and public
housing projects, and mounted them in station wagons for mobile use.
Despite the extent of the experiment,
local politicians were not notified about the content of the
testing. The people of St Louis were told that the Army was testing
smoke screens to protect cities from a Russian attack.
'It was pretty shocking. The level of
duplicity and secrecy. Clearly they went to great lengths to deceive
people,' Professor Martino-Taylor said.
Previous investigations of the
compound were rebuffed by the military, which insisted it was safe.
However, Professor Martino-Taylor
believes the documents she's uncovered, prove the zinc cadmium
silfide was also mixed with radioactive particles.
She has linked the St Louis testing
to a now-defunct company called US Radium. The controversial company
came under fire, and numerous lawsuits, after several of its workers
were exposed to dangerous levels of radioactive materials in its
fluorescent paint.
Senator Roy Blunt called the findings
'absolutely shocking.'
'The idea that thousands of
Missourians were unwillingly exposed to harmful materials in order
to determine their health effects is absolutely shocking. It should
come as no surprise that these individuals and their families are
demanding answers of government officials,' Senator Blunt said.
