Early efforts at ENMOD operations using the exhaust streams of jet engines in flight to disperse cloud-seeding agents were briefly described in section 2 above. To begin this section readers should begin by noting that the Air Force 2025 document outlines ENMOD operations based on disbursement of substances through jet engine afterburners. [179]
Naturally, as with the military’s “interests” in ionospheric modification programs (HAARP) for military communications benefits, we are again told here that “no known military applications of this technology have been realized.” [180] What is more alarming however is the evidence that the agents being dispersed by these methods are not at all ‘safe” as described above.
This ENMOD subject area, euphemistically known as CONTRAILS – for condensation trails – but more appropriately dubbed CHEMTRAILS – for chemical trails -- has become a major area of public inquiry and alarm, as evidenced by the range of critiques and analyses posted on the Internet, the citizens groups taking action against it, and the petitions to the U.S. Congress calling for a full scale investigation.
According to a large citizen’s research group: since 1998, U.S. Air Force tanker planes have been intensively spraying broad white plumes over virtually every major city and rural areas in the U.S. and Canada. Chemtrail spray planes have also been sighted over England, Europe, Australia, Mexico, Bahamas, Brazil, Croatia and Puerto Rico. Thousands of eyewitnesses -- including pilots, police officers and military personnel -- report seeing up to eight or more tankers laying chemtrails in X-patterns, parallel rows, tic-tac-toe or cross-hatched lines. [181]
According to ENMOD expert and author Dr. Rosalie Bertell, “I am absolutely certain that chemtrails are happening.” [182]
Notes author Bob Fitrakis:
“U.S. patent number 6315213…is described as a method of modifying the weather and should concern the public. A scientist from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base acknowledges that planes are spraying barium salt, polymer fibers [read: plastics], aluminum oxide and other chemicals in the atmosphere to both modify the weather and for military communications purposes.” [183]
As an aside to the main theme of this writing, we can be reasonably assured that at least some of the UFO sightings reported throughout the 1950s and 1960s were due to secret aerospace and intelligence programs, including psychological operations (Psyops) by the intelligence community. As noted in the above paragraph, the CIA and DIA have admitted to fabricating reports of UFO sightings in order to mask the very real sightings of futuristic aerospace technologies. This can be easily understood in the context of secret aerospace research and development programs needing to test prototypes of top secret airborne weapons and platforms while simultaneously needing to deter and deny any public knowledge of their existence. Such platforms certainly included the single Nazi prototype of the Go 229 V3 flying wing; the CIA’s secret “assets” the Helio Courier; the early experimental prototypes of UAVs; and other weapons and intelligence “assets” which have yet to emerge from black programs of the defense establishment. It is likely that some of the disc-shaped objects reported as UFOs were/are the aerospace test-beds for anti-gravity propulsion systems – developed and tested at Groom Lake.
As for the CIA’s Project MK-ULTRA, this secret program born in the “50s went far beyond “mind-control experiments using LSD.” Unaware that there were guinea pigs for the CIA, and sometimes forcibly held against their will, subjects were given a ‘sleep cocktail” of varying doses of Thorazine, Nembutal, Seconal, Veronal and Phenergan, and then subjected to 150 volts of electroshock for periods twenty to ninety times longer than normally applied by physicians, two to three times a day for fifteen to thirty days, and sometimes as long as sixty-five days. [184]
The CIA was interested in creating a blank mind that could be reprogrammed. The Rockefeller Foundation funded the sensory deprivation MK-ULTRA research, and the program continued for 20 years, involving over 750 subjects. Nelson Rockefeller and CIA Technical Services Director Dr. Sidney Gottlieb were intimately involved; the program was shielded behind the National Institute for Health. [185] As President Eisenhower’s special representative to the Special Planning Coordination Group – the NSC ‘special Group” charged with covert operations – Rockefeller also had oversight responsibilities for the CIA’s development of its clandestine aviation capabilities. The formal U.S. “national security” doctrine of “plausible deniability” was born under President Eisenhower and Nelson Rockefeller and the ‘special Group”. [186]
It is curious to note that right-wing apologists for the permanent warfare economy often seek to deflect attention from legitimate issues and government activities like black programs, covert operations, assassinations, CIA drug-running operations, mind-control experiments and similar realities, by labeling them as “conspiracy theories” and then ridiculing those who attempt to bring such very real programs and activities to light as “conspiracy theorists”. In this vein, the specter of “black helicopters” is often thrown up as some sort of outrageous product of the conspiracy theorist’s imagination – entities having no basis in fact.
On the contrary, black helicopters
are very real -- products of Sikorsky, United Technologies and others – and
the deployment of these black helicopters in operations designed to perpetuate
terror are equally real. Two examples of U.S.-supported terrorist operations
using black helicopters procured from the U.S. warmaking establishment come
quickly to mind: [1] black helicopters have been deployed under Plan Columbia,
where innocent men, women and children in Columbia are suffering under U.S.
led military operations perpetuated in the interests of oil, drugs and money-laundering;
and [2] black helicopters have been used by the government of Sarawak, Malaysia,
to terrorize indigenous people who have blockaded roads to stop the indiscriminate
pillage of their traditional lands, the logging of tropical forests in particular,
and the concomitant genocide of the indigenous people.
