'Chemtrails' pose dangerous pollution

While much press and public attention has been focused on the recent 10- count federal indictment against the W.R. Grace Co. for conspiring to hide the deadly dangers of its asbestos-laden vermiculite mine in Libby, Mont., absolutely no press or public awareness will occur regarding W.R. Grace's part in a far larger environmental and public health disaster.

Named as the supplier in the original 1976 patent for the Powder Contrail Generator, W.R. Grace manufactures the highly toxic chemical titanium dioxide. Known for its resistance to ultra violet rays, titanium dioxide is used in paint.

But it is also mixed with other toxic chemicals such as barium and aluminum and regularly sprayed into the atmosphere by Air Force KC-135 tankers jets.

Popularly known as "chemtrails," the aerial application of these chemicals can be seen almost daily in the skies over Sandpoint and other cities all across the nation. Those long white lines in the sky crossing back and forth are particle-emitting overflights which dump the chemicals into the atmosphere at 40,000 ft. Independent scientific studies indicate that these chemicals are showing up in snowpack and soil samples. Under the guise of "Air Force climate experiments", these chemical-dumping overflights have gone largely unnoticed by an unobservant, uninformed population.

If brought to light in a courtroom, this deliberate pollution of the environment will likely lead to a class action lawsuit which would dwarf the recent indictment handed down to W.R Grace.
