CHEMTRAILS: Is U.S. Gov't. Secretly Testing Americans 'Again'?

Could a strange substance found by an Ark-La-Tex man be part of secret government testing program? That's the question at the heart of a phenomenon called "Chemtrails."
In a KSLA News 12 investigation, Reporter Jeff Ferrell shows us the results of testing we had done about what's in our skies.
"It seemed like some mornings it was just criss-crossing the whole sky. It was just like a giant checkerboard," described Bill Nichols. He snapped several photos of the strange clouds from his home in Stamps, in southwest Arkansas. Nichols said these unusual clouds begin as normal contrails from a jet engine. But unlike normal contrails, these do 'not' fade away.
Soon after a recent episode he saw particles in the air. "We'd see it drop to the ground in a haze," added Nichols. He then noticed the material collecting on the ground.
"This is water and stuff that I collected in bowls. I had it sitting out in my backyard in my dad's pick-up truck," said Nichols as he handed us a mason jar in the KSLA News 12 parking lot back in September after driving down from Arkansas.
KSLA News 12 had the sample tested at a lab. The results: A high level of barium, 6.8 parts per million, (ppm). That's more than three times the toxic level set by the Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA.
Armed with these lab results about the high levels of barium found in our sample, we decided to contact the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality. They told us that, 'yes,' these levels are very unusual. But at the same time they added the caveat that proving the source is a whole 'nother matter.
We discovered during our investigation that Barium is a hallmark of other chemtrail testing. This phenomenon even attracted the attention of a Los Angeles network affiliate, which aired a report entitled, "Toxic Sky?"
There's already no shortage of unclassified weather modification programs by the government. But those who fear chemtrails could be secret biological and chemical testing on the public point to the 1977 U.S. Senate hearings which confirmed 239 populated areas had been contaminated with biological agents between 1949 and 1969. Later, the 1994 Rockefeller Report concluded hundreds of thousands of military personnel were also subjected to secret biological experiments over the last 60-years.
But could secret testing be underway yet again? "I'd rather it be something inert and you know something that's not causing any damage but I'd like to know what it is," concluded Nichols.
KSLA News 12 discovered chemtrails are even mentioned by name in the initial draft of HR 2977 back in 2001, under the Space Preservation Act. But the military denies any such program exists.
It turns out, until just nine years ago the government had the right, under U.S. law, to conduct secret testing on the American public, under specific conditions. Only a public outcry repealed part of that law, with some "exceptions."
Mark Ryan, Director of the Poison Control Center, explained that short term exposure to barium can lead to anything from stomach to chest pains, with long-term exposure causing blood pressure problems.
Ryan addressed concerns by chemtrail researchers that barium could be meant to wear down a person's immune system. "Anything that causes ill effects on the body long-term, chronically, is going to affect your ability, it's just constantly working on the body. So from that aspect yeah it's a potential."
Ryan told us he's conducted research of his own about secret government testing on the public. But he's still a bit skeptical about chemtrails at the moment, especially considering that his Poison Control Center has seen no calls about barium exposure.

Chemtrails - Part 2 - The Real Purposes (english sub)by trettomahawk1,561 views
carnicom . com has a film, a host of evidenciary documents, lab test results, five plus years of research. Aluminum can be a real problem because the blood barrier to the brain does not recognize aluminum as a heavy metal and is a neurotoxin that has been suggested to have causal health links to Alzheimer's. Krill oil, fish oil, chinese mushroom extracts help the brain push it out and samples of Aluminum can be found in hair as reported in one test. German study about polymer fibers as well.

Okay, there really R chemtrails. There is a great deal of evidence as well as govt. documents (patents as far back as 1991) 2 reveal that. Yes, the conspiracy theorist movement is gaining momentum, but there R a lot of people who are troubled by what is happening in the world today. Given the govt. history of secret experimentation on the general public, it's easy 2 understand why. Sifting through the speculation and facts is a real task. Finding the sources 2 back up claims is important.

The reported was really sorry for the mistake. He even admitted it! He came out with an entire statement!
Just remove this darn video unless you ofcourse wanna prove that conspiracy theorists are the ones that are spreading the disinfo. Which is what u are doing right now.

Uh, please look up a video I have made. I researched this news story and have contacted the reporter. The story is wrong, in many ways. First, no good sample of can be collected on the ground. His sample would be contaminated with ground level stuff. Second and third, the lab report at 0:58, he says the wrong number, then the wrong unit of measure. He's off by a factor of about 1000, and the actual amount is way below toxic and is what is expected of any sample, just about anywhere.
