Residents from Kingman and surrounding communities attended a town hall meeting convened by Arizona Senator Kelly Ward, on what exactly is falling from Mohave County skies and is it sickening some of its residents.
More than 100 residents attended a town hall to express their frustration over what exactly is being sprayed in the skies and wondering if it is harmful.
Senator Ward called the meeting baby steps in getting answers to the increased levels of barium, aluminum, strontium and other heavy metals in residents blood.
Arizona Department of Environmental Quality administrative counsel faced many questions and outrage after lack of answers and interest by state officials.
Counsel insisted that their department has no jurisdiction over what is emitted from aircraft or its engines, and went on to explain the Federal Environmental Protection Agency sets the air standards for aircraft, which are enforced by the Department of Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administration.
They also recommended filing a complaint with the EPA or the FAA.
Ward said she would talk to U.S. Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Prescott, and other elected federal officials and promised future town halls on the subject.
Barium has been found in blood systems, which is sickening people.
One resident asked if the rain water has been tested for barium and other toxic metals.
A woman said several family members have died from brain tumors and wondered why someone from the EPA or the FAA was not present at the town hall.
Another woman spoke of chaff, saying it is used by the Air Force to spray a fibrous chemical from fighter jets to avoid detection.
Chaff is actually made up of strips of metal foil or metal filings to obstruct radar detection.
She said fighter jets, flying at higher altitudes than commercial airliners, spray the chemicals that are then collected by airliners water vapor before dropping to the ground.
Were being sprayed like were bugs and thats not OK
Several people spoke of moving to the county years ago and seeing blue skies and now seeing a constant haze.
One woman spoke of numerous species dying off including birds, bees and fish globally.
Another woman spoke of seeing unmarked aircraft taking off in Phoenix with spray nozzles attached to the tail or wings.
Someone else asked where to send medical evidence of increased levels of toxic metals.
Another man said that former President Dwight Eisenhower warned Americans of the military industrial complex just before he left office in 1960.
Officials from the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) seemed ill-prepared to deal with the medical and technical aspects of the complaints repeatedly claiming they had no jurisdiction in FAA matters.
Senator Ward suggested a second meeting would follow, much to the appreciation of those in attendance.
The town hall was full of testimony establishing that unmarked aircraft have been repeatedly spraying aerosols from unmarked military aircraft while civilian airliners were leaving no trails, even while flying in the same air space as the unmarked jets.
Multiple lab tests that revealed high concentrations of toxins and contamination were submitted to ADEQ as evidence.
Paper Writes Dumb Article About Senator's Dumb "Chemtrails" Hearing
An Arizona state senator scheduled a hearing this week about the "chemtrails" epidemic plaguing the area around Lake Havasu. A local newspaper wrote about the conspiracy theory as if it were fact, and further down the anti-science rabbit hole we go.
The first line is a doozy.
Mysterious white streaks in the skies over Mohave County are the subject of a meeting next week scheduled by state Sen. Kelli Ward.
Contrails. The word you are looking for is contrails. The word is a portmanteau of "condensation trails," or the thin wispy clouds that form when the warm, moist jet exhaust left behind by high-flying aircraft condenses when it comes in contact with the extremely cold, moist air of the upper atmosphere. The result is a cirrus cloud that lasts from a few seconds to hours depending on the humidity levels that day.
They are far from "mysterious." A+ reporting. Let's keep going.
[The senator] says the meeting was called to respond to concerns by her constituents about the so-called chemtrails that appear in the sky after jets fly by.
"So- called chemtrails," eh?
Immediately next to this so-called paragraph is a photo of a sky full of contrails with the caption "chemtrails are shown over Lake Havasu City." Y'see, we're not saying that these so-called chemtrails exist, but look at this here picture we incorrectly titled "chemtrails." Coincidence!? I think not.
The state senator sponsoring the hearings, Dr. Kelli Ward (who holds both a B.S. in psychology and a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine), says that the meeting is not to see if chemtrails exist, but rather to calm citizens irrationally concerned that they're being sprayed with billions of gallons of toxic chemicals by the Delta red-eye from LAX.
Ward said she is confident that the air and water in Mohave County are safe and pointed to naturally occurring minerals that could account for heightened levels of mercury and other minerals in blood tests.
"I have gotten a lot of communications from people who are concerned and there has been a sense that no one has been doing anything for them to address those concerns," she said. "I can't do field tests on the water, but I can connect them to the people who do."
The newspaper interviewed two Havasu residents to see what they had to say about the epidemic. One small business owner says that he read on the internets that chemtrails are real, and that since the government lies to us, "there's definitely something going on." Another resident had this to say after noting that she's seen chemtrails for about two years now:
"Every time they do chemtrailing there is some dramatic change in the weather. I noticed it this weekend and then it got very windy," Cramer said. "I'm not a scientist and I don't know what's in the (chemtrails). I think we have a right to know instead of worry about it every day."
The scariest part of the article is the fact that two representatives from the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality are passing up the chance to say "this is a ridiculous conspiracy theory and you people should be ashamed of your stupidity" to punt on the issue entirely. The agency told the News-Herald that the meeting will focus "on the department's lack of regulatory authority over any type of chemical spraying."
Hell, fly me out there (on a chemmobile, of course) and I'll hold the meeting for you. Are you ready?
That's all they need to say at the meeting. Despite what Mohave County's finest thinkers may have to say about the matter, chemtrails do not exist exist.
If that fails, my next advice is to step outside and take a nice, deep breath.
CONSPIRACY THEORY: OBAMA ORDERS CHEMTRAILS TO POISON ARIZONANS
Another week, another Obama-is-trying-to-kill-us-all Tea Party-fueled conspiracy theory.
Well, where to begin? Youve undoubtedly seen contrials in the sky? Those long, thin-looking clouds behind airplanes caused by water vapor. Well, you can see them, and ask yourself, Hey, what causes those? I bet science can explain that? Or you can be like Arizona State Senator Kelli Ward (R-Craycraytown) and suggest that those contrails are actually chemtrails (see what they did there?), that is, chemical weapons being sprayed by government airplanes on citizens on the orders of President Obama yeah, yeah, yeah.
Science can explain those long white things. Or not. Whatever.
Yes. Chemtrails. A problem so non-existent that Sen. Kelli-with-an- I Ward held a public meeting and even had the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality on hand to answer questions from concern citizens. And guess what? It was all recorded.
There was a brief, fact-laden presentation of sorts by the ADEQ, which, of course, was automatically suspect because, 1) its a government agency and 2), its all science-y. And, ta-da, after that, the audience was invited to ask questions and provide comments.
Ill wait here while you go pop some popcorn. But let me warn you, after watching about 10 minutes of this, youll be ready to give up on this democracy thing.
The audience, many apparently fresh from tipping 10 percent at Dennys, had some great points and very informed questions. Ive summed up their major points here:
These chemtrails, these chemical weapons Obama is spraying on us? Is there any antidote for the heavy metals we are now ingesting on our food and water?
God I hate Obama.
How do extraterrestrials figure into all of this?
Is Obama an extraterrestrial?
Does that disqualify him for being president of the United States?
How do states rights come into play here?
Just how much of our tax dollars are being spent on killing us with chemical weapons?
Can this be done cheaper?
At the 55:45 mark, perhaps the first time the word poop was said in a public meeting.
My favorite comment: This goes to concerned citizen and weather guru Jennifer Cramer. According to Cramer, the chemtrials are a government plot to change the climate of Arizona. How does she know? Every time they do chemtrailing there is some dramatic change in the weather. I noticed it this weekend and then it got very windy, Cramer said. Im not a scientist and I dont know whats in the (chemtrails). I think we have a right to know instead of worry about it every day.
Wind. Obamas most nefarious weapon.
Second favorite comment: The woman who devised a way to conduct an at-home heavy metal test so you yourself can find out what exactly youre being poisoned with (fast forward to the 1:33 mark). Theres a simple test you can take with hydrogen peroxide and red wine in your mouth. And when you spit it out, you will see all those nanoparticles collect in the bowl.
I tried this test a dozen times last night. Got really, really drunk and suffered burns in my esophagus.
According to a meeting recap in the New York Daily News, neighbors will hopefully learn that contrails are frozen water vapors that follow jets at high altitudes.
LF's Paper-Boy and Spammeister is going above and beyond the call of doo-doo here.
You see those criss-cross plumes of white smoke that have been lingering in the blue sky for hours? Chyeah, it's merely some pilot getting all his hours in, or practicing his aerial tic-tac-toe boxes...
In other words, NOTHING TO SEE HERE. Just return to your barium-seeded homes, poisoned land and air and ask no questions. The authoritahs are just here to help. Cuz they care and would never hurt you.
