Dit is een Burgerinitiatief om 40.000 handtekeningen te verzamelen om het heimelijk toepassen van Weermodificatie, Geo-engineering door middel van het sproeien van zogenaamde Chemtrails op de agenda van de samenleving en de Tweede Kamer te zetten. Heeft u hier voor of tegen kunnen stemmen? Piloten, doctoren en wetenschappers vertellen de waarheid over chemtrails: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPnWaBsMYnY Via zoekmachines is er veel info en beeldmateriaal te vinden. Op de TU Eindhoven wordt er openlijk College over gegeven. Er moet snel duidelijkheid over komen. Teken deze petitie dus!

- Trump wil de zon blokkeren -
- Maandag 27 maart 2017, 23:03 uur - NPO Radio 1 - Geo-engineering, het opzettelijk grootschalig ingrijpen in de biosfeer van de aarde met als doel klimaatverandering tegen te gaan, is verboden door de VN. Toch wil Trump precies dat gaan doen: deeltjes de ruimte in sturen om zonlicht te absorberen of te weerkaatsen - Klik op de foto - - NOS op 3 6 April 2017 -

- SP Tweede Kamer erkent dat Geo-Engineering / Chemtrails plaatsvindt en weigert onderzoek -
- 22-06-2016 - Telefoon gesprek met SP Tweede Kamer 22-06-2016. Debbie Brenkman afdeling milieu erkent dat Geo-Engineering plaats vindt. Tijdens het gesprek zegt ze duidelijk het niet te ontkennen. Tegelijkertijd beweert zij dat het op zeer kleine schaal wordt uitgevoerd dat niet schadelijk is voor gezondheid en milieu. - Maandag 27 maart 2017 | NTR | Laurens Gaukema -
Verschillende hooggeplaatste ambtenaren onder Trump lobbyden in het verleden stevig om experimenten in geo-engineering toe te staan. Kranten zoals de Guardian vrezen daarmee dat de Trump-regering een aankomend experiment met zwavel in de lucht zal toestaan. Hoogleraar milieusysteemanalyse Rik Leemans (Wageningen Universiteit) legt in Nieuws en Co uit waarom geo-engineering een riskant en omstreden idee is. - Klik op de foto - |

Human Vulnerability
Dr Andrija Puharich in the 50′s/60′s, found that clairvoyant’s brainwaves became 8 Hz when their psychic powers were operative. He saw an Indian Yogi in 1956 controlling his brainwaves, deliberately shifting his consciousness from one level to another. Puharich trained people with bio-feedback to do this consciously, making 8 Hz waves. A healer made 8 Hz waves pass into a patient, healing their heart trouble, her brain emitting 8 Hz . One person emitting a certain frequency can make another also resonate to the same frequency. Our brains are extremely vulnerable to any technology which sends out ELF waves, because they immediately start resonating to the outside signal by a kind of tuning-fork effect. Puharich experimented discovering that
A) 7.83 Hz (earth’s pulse rate) made a person feel good, producing an altered-state.
B) 10.80 Hz causes riotious behaviour and
C) 6.6 Hz causes depression and According to Barry Trower seviar SEXIUAL ABUSE with MEN
