thesis



         The inhabitants of Earth are being systematically marshalled           on every page of history—if we are willing to look beyond the official
         into a compliant state. “Globalisation” is a euphemism for a           curricula of both classroom and mainstream media “education”.
         long-planned totalitarian government on a planetary scale,
         affecting every detail of our lives. The means of accomplishing        Nonetheless, the situation is not hopeless. The entire population of
         this sweeping goal are legion and concerted. What is                   Earth is made up of individuals. Thankfully there is much we can do

         multifunctional “weapons” designed to facilitate complete              our bodies, minds and spirits.
         control over the bodies, minds and souls of every human being
         on Earth.                                                              Some of these measures are surprisingly simple.

         That aerosol spraying is taking place globally cannot be
         credibly denied. And that no government is willing to take
         responsibility for explaining the phenomenon is in itself
         both disturbing and revealing. The aerosol trails cannot be
         dismissed as “normal aviation activity” or even as benign.
         Neither can the proliferation of man-made clouds, spread by
         means of electromagnetic stroking, be explained as consistent
         with historic meteorological patterns. Attempts to justify it all in
         terms of “mitigating global warming” are futile.

         Nano-technolgy has produced new phenomena that combine
         aerial and terrestrial components in a deadly mix that is able to
         decimate entire populations.

No amount of placard waving or amassing of signatures will change the outcome. The issue lies far deeper than the merely political level. It is essential to understand the deep-laid ideology that is driving the accelerating rush to globalism together with its historic roots if we are to truly understand the phenomenon of aerosol spraying in Earth’s atmosphere. There is cogent evidence of an epic struggle for global domination thesis The inhabitants of Earth are being systematically marshalled on every page of history—if we are willing to look beyond the official into a compliant state. “Globalisation” is a euphemism for a curricula of both classroom and mainstream media “education”. long-planned totalitarian government on a planetary scale, affecting every detail of our lives.

Thankfully there is much we can do taking place above our heads is just one of the numerous as individuals to both safeguard our physical survival, and to protect multifunctional “weapons” designed to facilitate complete our bodies, minds and spirits. control over the bodies, minds and souls of every human being on Earth. Some of these measures are surprisingly simple. That aerosol spraying is taking place globally cannot be credibly denied. And that no government is willing to take responsibility for explaining the phenomenon is in itself both disturbing and revealing. The aerosol trails cannot be dismissed as “normal aviation activity” or even as benign. Neither can the proliferation of man-made clouds, spread by means of electromagnetic stroking, be explained as consistent with historic meteorological patterns. Attempts to justify it all in terms of “mitigating global warming” are futile. Nano-technolgy has produced new phenomena that combine aerial and terrestrial components in a deadly mix that is able to decimate entire populations. page 6 page 7
