If Big Agra kills of all the pollenators, who will pollenate their vast fields of non-renewable harvest? Something to ponder...

When oh when are people going to wake up and look up and take notice? Chemtrails are not make believe. They are real and purposeful. We are all being poisoned by the residues spread from sea to shining sea in these poison plumes. Barium, one of the main ingredients in the stew, now being detected SCIENTIFICALLY at alarming rates in the soil, water and air....(gee, where's it coming from - "Duh!" as Home Simpson says)...will cause all sorts of problems...like lowering immunity. Fungus among us??? Anybody notice an increase of it in your environment? I sure do. As an organic gardener for decades, suddenly it's turning up in places I've never had problems and widespread. I believe the fungus increase is also linked to the chemtrail constituents. Fungus in bats noses, in bees, in us...and yes, pesticides, pollution and more also are players in this unfolding epic tale...Mercola is right - something is terribly wrong in a big, big way.

Hello all, I am new to this site but find the article interesting. I do wildlife control for a living in Florida. Bats and Bees are a large part of my business. Rabies in bats is becoming common in my part of Fl, the european bee is becoming Africanized and in my experience is not going to stop.

Bat houses are a 50/50 idea as to if the animals will use them or not. They roost high up in condos and the problem is they are nasty housemates, odor, droppings, and the young entering the home itself, they are protected here in FL. so exclusion is the only solution.

The owners of the properties are part time residents, and just want them out. I have spent 4 years in 1 complex moving them and they continue to multiply in one season out growing the the bat houses I install.

The same is true for Bees the Dept. of Agriculture is now saying to destroy all hives. The Government Plan if there is one here is confusing.

My personal belief is that due to the above mentioned problems in the comments section peoples minds are going. I know mine is, God help us all because we don't seem to be able to do anything besides Band-Aids on our own or collectively.

What about interactions?

Mad Cow disease turnedx out to be

1. Pesticides ran the animals doen on copper.

2. They got to much molybdenum, a metal that mimics copper in some ways,

3. Some kind of energy-excitement--such as sonic booms or UV light at Colorado's high altitude--caused the collapse of the protein shape of a normal brain protein called prions.

4. When one prion collapses, it causes neighboring prions to collapse the same way. Eating brain tissue with collapsed prions caused the collapse of the prions in the new animal's or human's brain tissue.

5. Cells die, forming spongy holes in the brain. Two Nobel prizes were awarded for discovering the "infectious" aspect of a protein.

Medical science has yet to catch up with steps 1-3. They were discovered by a British Organic Beef farmer. Dr. Mercola has emphasized step 3--with cell phone radiation being the malefic energy source. I am personally interested in using the chemical instruments at my state college to see whether metallics have a similar role in the mysterious bee diseases. I hope somebody in a bat-rich area can do similar investigations on bats.

pesticides-->metal imbalances--> plus disruptive energy input --> disease????

If the whole series is required, then individual steps would get no harm done, or negative results. That would answer a lot of puzzles.

Money, population control, and deception are some of the factors we are facing these days. Big companies are out to gain more money at the expense of you and your family's health; a population control method must be spun to either control and reduce the population (by any means possible) becase the world's population is growing while resources are declining, and deception is the icing on the cake to make you see, feel, or believe in a comfortable idea or thing, while in actuality, it is not.

We live in or at least notice a vicious cycle occurring here. Money must be made, gaining more control over resources while declining the population (or the competition) is needed, and a deception to make you believe none of such things are happening. How is this done? You start with foods and beverages. Devastating chemicals are put in to foods and drinks (even tap water) to make you believe that diet sodas will help you lose weight and to manipulate your taste buds (just a couple examples). Over time, your chemically-saurated diet will take it's toll on the body in the form of cancers and other diseases. Doctors will say "it's because of genetics or family history." The big Pharm companies use chemical remedies to attempt to counteract the bodily-damage done by the chemical diet. Other companies that do harm like cell phone companies and vaccine companies will deny everything and will get much help from the FDA. This keeps both sides of the equation employed and wealthy while the middle-factor, you the customer/consumer, experience deteriorating health and pain beyond your wildest imagination. In the long run, the world's population will decrease, thus decreasing competition for the world's resources.

Awareness, education, and spiritual growth are true remedies to avoid falling a victim. I didn't know much about bats until I read Dr. Mercola's article and the subsequent comment articles. Meditate on the present and pray for wisdom, guidance, love, and peace for future.

GMOs, which the inventers said were harmless, cell phones, which the manufacturers claim are harmless, not to mention pesticides. Then we need to look at herbacides, and even some of the plastics we use every day, and slowly we are killing our home, and all the creatures with whom we share our home. Has anyone given a thought as to what will happen if all the bees, and the bats, die off? Well not even the "Alchemists" down at Monsanto, or DuPont can build a bionic bee, or bat. Already we are seeing food shortages, and once the birds, the bats, and the bees are extinct, our time is very short.

I can recall people laughting at those of us who said we must be good stewards of the land, because if we continue to abuse the land we will write our own doom. My ancestors had a very healthy respect for this land and the way they spoke of the spirit which lay within the land and the animals, to bad this healthy respect for the land no longer exists. Microwaves are killing everything, and we look the other way. Even those of us here are not too willing to give up our cell phones. Too few of us are willing to write to our congressional representatives and demand these dangers be addressed.

Well guess what when the birds, and bats, and bees are all gone, we will only have ourselves to blame. Yes someone else is doing the damage, but we need to speak up and attempt to make a difference.

Something is throwing things off balance, and, little by little, nature is dying. "Eventually, it will no longer be a gradual occurrence", but rather like when you put a stick into a turning bicycle wheel, everything will abruptly come to a halt, and likely fall.

Dr Mercola "Eventually" you say, I say open your eyes the rider is already flying head long over the handlebars. We ars seeing the devastation of food security, increased incidence of disease, the destruction of our environment. We sit pretty here in the western world while individuals in third world countries are suffering immensely and by and large it is a result of our western society using the rest of the world as its garbage dump. As an example recently Chinese made products have been recalled on a major scale and I have to wonder...are they just selling us our own garbage back again???? Let us not arrogantly assume we are better than anyone else on our collective home. Does the majority of the public really believe that what we have sown we are not reaping.

Add to all the above information, the secret "Chemtrail" daily spraying our gov't is doing in the skies that affect our health, planet and the bees, birds etc! Search the internet on the dangers of Chemtrails & you will see how it causes respiratory & immune system health problems! Our gov't is in business to deceive, delude, dumb-down & dustract a society that needs the truth! They are in business to protect the corporations & their profits before any concern for individuals!!

I hardly comment anymore as it seems it has all already been said.

I will say I hold my head in shame to the slight contibution I have made to the state of the world.

We all should.

Have we taught our children to listen to the world and observe, or to ignore all in pursuit of temporary temporal gratification of greed, envy, which results in waste and damage to the enviroment?

To seek fame and fortune is only vanity.

I think it is strange the govemment says the food crisis is only temporary and prices will begin to recede in two years; after increasing similarly to the previous two.

It is nice to see many here are begining to see the whole picture.

To those who are and Mercola and his staff for spreading the truth; I Salute you.

Oh whoa. We live in Beijing. Last year there were bats at dusk. Not a lot, but you'd see like 10 or so every evening and they'd circle inbetween the tall apartment buildings in our complex just munching away, and twittering.

This year, no mosquitos, interestingly enough. And no bats either, not a one.

I love bats. I did a summer volunteer at a wildlife refuge set up in a woman's basement. She had birds, squirrels, critically injured this and that, and lots of bats, they were her specialty. We'd feed them meal worms and care for them until they got well and released them. So sweet, bats are. Good times.

I am glad to see that one of your readers (Mikoch) is aware of chemtrails. We have been ringing the bell on this insidious governmental program that has been going on for more than 10 years. Despite what some say are its reasons, the government does not even acknowledge their existence. (Chemicals being sprayed are aluminum, barium, and silica, with traces of other chemicals and even parts of human cellular material. Speculative reasons abound. Some believe it is to prevent global warming. But unfortunately, the same reflective particles that would keep out infra-red rays, would also trap all heat that did reach the earth, thereby increasing global warming. This does not mean chemtrails are not meant to prevent global warming, it means, as usual, govermnent scientists are really stupid.

Another reason put forth is that it has to do with population control. After many of the heavy spraying days, multitudes of people come down with flu-like symptoms and hospital emergency rooms experience a flood of elderly patients. Life expectancy is somewhere in the vicinity of 72 years. If life expectancy could be lowered by just two years by constantly administering continuous lung ailments, it would help greatly in population reduction of a group (aged) that puts a huge burden on medical resources, not to mention social security. In the mid-seventies, there was a plan hatched by none other than the evil, war criminal, Henry Kissinger, that we should begin to think about population reduction. He proposed a plan that would withhold or reduce aid to starving nations. I would also point out that when proposals in the United Nations came up to increase aid to African nations, it is ALWAYS the U.S. that vetos the proposals. Instead of getting food, Africans got the man-made disease of AIDS.

Thomas Jefferson said we should have a revolution every 20 years - that's when people had courage.

Now, we are a nation of spectator sheep and the revolution is long OVERDUE.

What has happening on earth is actually fulfillment of Bible's prophecy. But the Bible gives us hope as the book of Revelation chapter 11 verse 18 states: "...But the nations became wrathful, and your own wrath came... and to bring to ruin those ruining the earth."

I do believe that the same thing killing the birds, bees and bats are pesticides. I spoke to an Entomologist Phd for a couple of days. He also says that there is a tiny wasp that gets into the bee hives and also kills the bees. Scientists are also finding Molds and Funguses that pesticides don't kill and that is another problem.

In Florida we are gearing up with all the "treehuggers" for a fight with the Dept of Agriculture. We are at a

loss for land to grow organic because of all the GARBAGE sprayed overnight.

When they were going to spray us a month ago, I called the County and told them, "If you spray on my land I will have you in court so fast it will make your head spin".

If we would be told what they are spraying (and that is our right) look it up and see the side effects. Then call our County Depts and State Ag Depts in droves, you can bet they would listed if enough of us make the calls.

Testing is being done on spraying safe Silver and Hydrogen Peroxide on crops along with transplanting

plants next to crops that bugs hate. Marigolds, Geraniums ect. We wouldn't need Monsanto, Dow and all the other Billion Dollar Corporations.

The continued use of pesticides is the greatest threat to life on earth.

Just as the use of antibiotics on our bodies kills off the beneficial microbes that we need to survive, pesticides kill off whole food chains of species in the name of preserving one foolishly planted monocrop.

Being an electronics engineer, I am not advocating a total throw back to an earlier lifestyle without modern tech, but much of today's Bio-tech is pure Bio-hazard, and guess what new industry is getting the biggest boost from local, state and federal legislation? BIOTECH.

TELL YOUR REPS AND SENATORS TO CLOSE DOWN THE "PHARM" So we all might live to see our grandchildren.
