Publisher’s Note: One year ago this month, the Vermont Independent began a systematic investigation into what we now believe to be the most important and most under-reported global environmental story of our time – the secret “geoengineering” of our skies. Below is the original story (dated March 29, 2016) we shared with our colleagues at Project Censored in San Francisco, California. Interestingly, they declined to publish it at the time, citing their concerns about the lack of scientific evidence for so-called “chemtrail” claims. After one year of research, we at the Vermont Independent feel certain that geoeingineering is happening, it is pervasive, and it is having troubling long-term impacts on entire ecosystems. Look for more stories re: this phenomenon in the months ahead. In the meantime, we are including GE-related images from central Vermont skies shot on Sunday afternoon, April 9 (photos #1 and 2, taken at 4:00 pm, after spotting “persistent contrail” activity over Mad River Glen ski area beginning at 11:30 am) and early Monday morning, April 10 (photo #3 – taken at 4:40 am looking south with a western moon set – Burlington International Airport’s first commercial flights do not depart until 5:30 am, according to their official flight board).

Here is our March 29, 2016 story–>

For decades now, and largely in secret, the U.S. military-industrial complex has been engaged in the systematic “spraying” of large swaths of our sky in one of the largest and least-discussed global planetary experiments in human history.  When human observers on the ground make it a point to “look up” and study our heavens, they witness strange anomalies beyond simple and expected patterns traditionally made by water vapor ice crystals or typical commercial airline traffic.  Instead, critical observers witness a variety of spray patterns: parallel lines, crosshatch lines, X, O, or U turn lines, even circular shapes. These spray patterns possess two unusual behaviors: 1) they stay visible for lengthy periods of time, and 2) they slowly spread out across significant sections of our sky, often for hours at a stretch.

These observed persistent ‘contrails’ are visible for several hours – and mounting scientific evidence suggests the contrails are aerosol sprays of metal oxides meant (according to patent information and official “future subjunctive – this may be something we should try someday” sources) to reflect incoming solar thermal energy so as to cool the Earth by 1-2% and offset the greenhouse effect of increasing atmospheric CO2. (Note: the Internet is full of disinformation sites on this issue, and consulting these can make the unwary researcher doubt his own eyes and mind.) The “spraying” patterns reported by observers for more than 15 years have characteristics that contradict disinformation sources (official and unofficial). To wit, typical commercial flight patterns differ from these oft-witnessed heavy spray trail patterns in at least three distinct ways: 1) commercial airlines don’t go East-West AND North-South in the same patch of sky; 2) commercial airlines do not fly in patterns that make X, U or 0 shapes; 3) commercial airlines do not fly heavily one day and not at all the next.

What’s in these sprays in our skies — and are these sprays toxic? Global scientific data collection paints a picture of a multi-year systematic effort to engage in “climate geoengineering” through this spraying program, with troubling environmental consequences. For example, post-spray rainwater tests made in Canada, the United States, Europe, and New Zealand reveal the presence of aluminum, barium, strontium, and other heavy metals in varying amounts that are unsafe, often radically so, according to various official criteria (EPA, US states, Canadian provinces, UN, etc.). Numerous U.S. patents from the mid-1970s to the present, meanwhile, confirm the aerospace industry and the U.S. military’s high level of interest in aerosol spray technology, including electromagnetic technology, as well as an interest in specific metals/chemicals/oxides and their requisite particulate size.

The problem with aerosol sprays is that what goes up, comes down, either in months or in one to two years. When these sprays fall to earth, they are invisible and easily penetrate deep into human tissues as they are breathed, drunk, and eaten in food grown in heavy-metal-laced soils toxic to life. Citizens in various communities worldwide have organized hearings and protests and submitted petitions to government officials requesting clarification about what’s being sprayed on them and also to demand such spraying cease and desist. These communities include Victoria, BC and Espanola, ONT; Shasta, CA;  Suffolk County, NY; Aigina, Greece; Ghent, Belgium; and elsewhere.

What is so surprising about this climate geoengineering story is the almost-complete mainstream media/news blackout re: this spraying phenomenon, particularly given the massive amount of visual evidence available on the Internet. Independent media coverage of this story is robust.
