Smoking Gun: The HAARP and Chemtrails Connection

No matter how deeply disturbing the thought of using the environment to manipulate behavior for national advantage is to some, the technology permitting such use will very probably develop within the next few decades. – Dr. Gordon J.F. MacDonald 1968

In order to increase functionality and effectiveness, ionospheric heaters are used in combination.Peter A. Kirby, Contributor
Activist Post

Located on an United States Air Force site near Gakona, Alaska, the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Project (HAARP) is the world’s largest and most functional ionospheric heater. Construction began in 1993. Today, HAARP can generate super high powered beams of directed energy. HAARP is designed to shoot these energy beams 200 kilometers up into the sky; affecting an area known as earth’s ionosphere. In doing this, HAARP can perform a number of functions.

The known uses of HAARP are: weather modification, power beaming, earth tomography (mapping of our planet’s interior), Star Wars-type defense capabilities, enhanced communications, communication disruptions and mind control. For an in-depth discussion about what HAARP does and how it does it, you must read the 1995 book Angels Don’t Play this HAARP by Dr. Nick Begich and journalist Jeane Manning. You can freely access a searchable .pdf here: http://freedomfchs.com/adpthaarp.pdf 

Although lesser ionospheric heaters do not generate energy beams as powerful or possess the same functionality as HAARP, similar facilities are located around the world. Along with a smaller facility located near Fairbanks, Alaska, other ionospheric heater locations include: Puerto Rico, Norway, Russia, Tajikistan, Peru and the Middle East. The latest word is that Russia, China and the United States have set up HAARP-like facilities in Antarctica. (Source)


The HAARP website explains the differences between HAARP and other ionospheric heaters like this, “HAARP is unique to most existing facilities due to the combination of a research tool which provides electronic beam steering, wide frequency coverage and high effective radiated power collocated with a diverse suite of scientific observational instruments.” HAARP can be remotely operated. HAARP employs technology originally envisioned and demonstrated by 
American inventor Nikola Tesla.


HAARP is jointly managed by the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Navy and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in conjunction with the Geophysical Institute of the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. Here’s more from the HAARP website:

Technical expertise and procurement services as required for the management, administration and evaluation of the program are being provided cooperatively by the Air Force (Air Force Research Laboratory), the Navy (Office of Naval Research and Naval Research Laboratory), and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Since the HAARP facility consists of many individual items of scientific equipment, both large and small, there is a considerable list of commercial, academic and government organizations which are contributing to the building of the facility by developing scientific diagnostic instrumentation and by providing guidance in the specification, design and development of the IRI [HAARP]. BAE Advanced Technologies (BAEAT) is the prime contractor for the design and construction of the IRI. Other organizations which have contributed to the program include the University of Alaska, Stanford University, Cornell University, University of Massachusetts, UCLA, MIT, Dartmouth University, Clemson University, Penn State University, University of Tulsa, University of Maryland, SRI International, Northwest Research Associates, Inc., and Geospace, Inc.

The HAARP website notes that, “…major construction at the facility was completed during 2007.”

12 U.S. patents are commonly recognized as applicable. A man named Dr. Bernard Eastlund is listed as the inventor on two of these patents and a co-inventor on another. Dr. Eastlund is commonly acknowledged as the inventor of HAARP.

The 12 HAARP patents were all assigned to ARCO Power Technologies Incorporated (APTI); a subsidiary of Atlantic Richfield Company (ARCO). APTI also won the initial contract to build HAARP. In 1994, APTI was sold to a company called E-Systems. E-Systems then changed APTI’s name to Advanced Power Technologies Incorporated. Largely involved in communications and information systems, E-Systems gets most of its business from and has extensive ties to the National Security Agency and the Central Intelligence Agency. In 1995, Raytheon acquired E-Systems. Raytheon, the defense contracting behemoth, now holds all 12 HAARP patents. 

chemtrails_zombiesWeather Modification

As far back as 1958, the chief White House advisor on weather modification, Captain Howard T. Orville, said the U.S. defense department was studying “ways to manipulate the charges of the earth and sky and so affect the weather” by using an electronic beam to ionize or de-ionize the atmosphere over a given area.The seminal 1996 Air Force report ‘Owning the Weather 2025’ outlines a weather modification program utilizing ground based support such as HAARP.Let us reference a passage from Nick Begich and Jeane Manning’s book Angels Don’t Play this HAARP:

Eastlund’s enthusiasm for planetary-scale engineering came through just as clearly in an interview with Omni Magazine. While acknowledging that many of the uses of his invention are warlike, he also talked about ‘more benign’ uses. His view of benign included using the technology to reroute the high-altitude jet stream, which is a major player in shaping global weather. Another way to control the weather with his technology would be to build ‘plumes of atmospheric particles to act as a lens or focusing device’ for sunlight, he told Omni. With this, the people controlling the antennae could aim in such a way that the return beams would hit a certain part of the earth. With the heating ability, they could experiment until they could control wind patterns in a specific place.

The Omni article explained. ‘What this means, he says, is that by controlling local weather patterns one could, say, bring rain to Ethiopia or alter the summer storm pattern in the Caribbean.’

United States patent #4,686,605 ‘Method and Apparatus for Altering a Region in the Earth’s Atmosphere, Ionosphere and/or Magnetosphere’ is one of the 12 HAARP patents. Dr. Eastlund is credited as the inventor. It states, “Weather modification is possible by, for example, altering upper atmosphere wind patterns or altering solar absorption patterns by constructing one or more plumes of atmospheric particles which will act as a lens or focusing device.”I know that quote on the surface looks like a connection between HAARP and chemtrails, but, before we think we have the smoking gun, realize that they are probably talking about particles precipitated from the ionosphere forming a lens without the need of chemtrails; as outlined elsewhere in the patent. The good news is, the patent goes on:

Also as alluded to earlier, molecular modifications of the atmosphere can take place so that positive environmental effects can be achieved. Besides actually changing the molecular composition of an atmospheric region, a particular molecule or molecules can be chosen for increased presence. For example, ozone, nitrogen, etc. concentrations in the atmosphere could be artificially increased. Similarly, environmental enhancement could be achieved by causing the breakup of various chemical entities such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrous oxides, and the like. Transportation of entities can also be realized when advantage is taken of the drag effects caused by regions of the atmosphere moving up along diverging field lines. Small micron sized particles can be then transported, and, under certain circumstances and with the availability of sufficient energy, larger particles or objects could be similarly affected.

That, my friends is a smoking gun. They are talking about introducing small particles into the atmosphere and then using HAARP to move them and the matter around them for the purpose of weather modification.

HAARP can be used in conjunction with chemtrails in order to modify the weather. Disbursed metallic particles such as aluminum, barium and strontium (the main chemtrail ingredients) may increase the atmosphere’s conductivity and therefore enhance HAARP’s weather modification performance.

A grand history of releasing stuff into the atmosphere as part of scientific research exists.

In the early 1960s our U.S. military dumped 350,000 2-4cm copper needles into the ionosphere attempting to create a ‘telecommunications shield.’

The HAARP executive summary says:

DOD [Department of Defense] agencies already have on-going efforts in the broad area of active ionospheric experiments, including ionospheric enhancements. These include both space and ground based approaches. The space-based efforts include chemical releases (e.g., the Air Force’s Brazilian Ionospheric Modification Experiment, BIME; the Navy’s RED AIR program; and multi-agency participation in the Combined Release and Radiation Effects Satellite, CERES).

Patent #4,686,605’s description states, “It has also been proposed to release large clouds of barium in the magnetosphere so that photoionization will increase the cold plasma density, thereby producing electron precipitation through enhanced whistler-mode interaction.” Barium is the second most common chemtrail ingredient.

These chemical releases are not all necessarily chemtrails, but they show our military’s extensive atmospheric chemical release activities involving ground and space based monitoring and support.

Lastly, let us refer again to Angels Don’t Play this HAARP:

…there is a super-powerful electrical connection between the ionosphere and the part of the atmosphere where our weather comes onstage, the lower atmosphere. Furthermore, scientific theories describe how the electrical energetic levels of the atmosphere are connected to cloud processes.

Chemtrails may enhance this connection between the lower and upper atmosphere. Then, when HAARP manipulates the ionosphere, the lower areas of the atmosphere (where our weather happens) can be manipulated accordingly.

Power Beaming

United States patent #5,068,669 titled ‘Power Beaming System’ outlines the technical details of how to remotely power airplanes.

Let us refer to a passage from ‘Angels Don’t Play this HAARP.’ Dr. Nick Begich and Jeane Manning reference an ‘Aviation Week’ article:

This ‘Star Wars’ technology developed by ARCO Power Technologies, Incorporated [patent #5,068,669’s assignee] was used in a microwaved-powered aircraft. The aircraft was reported to be able to stay aloft for up to 10,000 hours at 80,000 foot altitudes in a single mission. This craft was envisioned as a surveillance platform. The craft had no need for refueling because the energy was beamed to it and then converted to electrical energy for use by the aircraft. Flight tests were undertaken at Tyendinga Airport near Kingston, Ontario, Canada in the early 1990’s. This test by APTI most likely involved this patent…

If HAARP is powering the chemtrail airplanes, this would be a great logistical advantage as the planes would not need to be grounded for fueling. The airplanes would probably only need to be grounded for payload and maintenance and therefore could remain in the sky, performing their functions without interruption for long periods of time. This would also be an advantage because the more time these planes spend in the air, the less chance there is of the program being exposed. It’s incredibly difficult (as this author has learned) to expose something going on at 40,000 ft. in the sky. The power beaming need not be constant as the airplanes could utilize capacitors.

Little HAARPs

It is reported that smaller, mobile versions of HAARP exist.

Let us refer again to Angels Don’t Play this HAARP:

Is it possible that the HAARP scientists could have miniaturized the technology so that they don’t need such a large area of land and electrical power as called for in Eastlund’s pattents? Manning asked him.

“It’s entirely possible,” he [Eastlund] replied. “They have had a lot of good engineers working on it for some time. I would hope they have improved it.”

Aviation Week reports in 2008 that the United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is developing an airborne version of HAARP. BAE Systems, the article tells us, is to demonstrate this unit by towing it, ‘behind a helicopter.’

Here is a picture of what is described as a mobile HAARP ship:

It has been speculated that this HAARP ship was used to trigger the March 2011 magnitude 9.0 Japan earthquake.

There may be many HAAARP-like facilities of which we are not aware. There may be HAARP-like technology all around us! As noted earlier, ionospheric heaters such as HAARP are used in combination to increase capabilities and effectiveness.

A little HAARP atop the Rocky Mountains at North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) might work well. This is also the location from which I speculate the airplanes are commanded.

A Pattern of Deception

When it comes to HAARP, our government has shown a pattern of denial and obfuscation. In many instances, the HAARP website and the military contradict each other and/or the authors of ‘Angels Don’t Play this HAARP.’

The HAARP website claims that HAARP is not used for weather modification and the military has never admitted to these capabilities. The patents, Nick Begich, Jeane Manning and the European parliament say HAARP can modify the weather.

Although the HAARP website claims experiments are only being carried out in a relatively small portion of the ionosphere directly over the facility, the HAARP executive summary says, “For broader military applications, the potential for significantly altering regions of the ionosphere at relatively great distances (1000 km or more) from a [ionospheric] heater is very desirable.”

The HAARP website claims that HAARP does not make holes in the ionosphere. The European parliament and the authors of Angels Don’t Play this HAARP say it does.

The HAARP website and the military deny that HAARP is a ‘Star Wars’ defense type weapon. The European parliament and the authors of Angels Don’t Play this HAARP insist it is; the patents support their position. Angels says:

In February, 1995, the Star Wars missile defense shield was supposed to be dead. The United States House of Representatives by a 218 to 212 voted to kill the program. Yet HAARP continues on while the motives of the military are hidden from the world.

The military and the HAARP website both claim that HAARP is not a classified project, but leaked documents show that the military planners intend to keep the program under wraps.

The HAARP website contradicts itself about military involvement. In their self-description, they say they are a military project, but in the FAQs, they say HAARP is, “not designed to be an operational system for military purposes.” All this while the military’s executive summary says HAARP is to ‘exploit’ ionospheric processes for Department of Defense purposes.

Dr. Eastlund has contradicted the official military position many times. Even though they have been exhaustively proven, our military denies connections between Eastlund, APTI and HAARP. Eastlund himself said in a 1988 NPR interview that the military had tested some of the ideas presented in the patents. According to Dr. Begich and Jeane Manning:

Eastlund said in a 1988 radio interview that the defense department had done a lot of work on his concepts, but he was not at liberty to give details. He later told Manning that after he had worked within ARCO for a year and applied for patents, Defense Advanced Research Project agency (DARPA) had combed through his theories then gave out a contract for him to study how to generate the relativistic (light speed) electrons in the ionosphere.

Here’s more about Eastlund from Angels:

Eastlund told Chadwick of National Public Radio that the patent should have been kept under government secrecy. He said he had been unhappy that it was issued publicly, but, as he understood it, the patent office does not keep basic ‘fundamental information’ secret. ‘You don’t get a patent if you don’t describe in enough detail to another person how to use it,’ he said. Specifics of military applications of his patent remain proprietary (secret), he added.

I guess it’s just a matter of who you trust. I choose to trust the patents, Nick Begich and Jeane Manning because, about HAARP, the government has been caught lying. To my knowledge, the authors of ‘Angels Don’t Play this HAARP’ have not once yet been found to be lying. The patents speak for themselves.

Conclusions

Even the technocratic European parliament found serious concerns about HAARP. A 1999 European parliament committee report, after hearing Dr. Nick Begich and others, concluded:

[the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Protection] Regards the US military ionospheric manipulation system, HAARP, based in Alaska, which is only a part of the development and deployment of electromagnetic weaponry for both external and internal security use, as an example of the most serious emerging military threat to the global environment and human health, as it seeks to interfere with the highly sensitive and energetic section of the biosphere for military purposes, while all of its consequences are not clear, and calls on the Commission, Council and the Member States to press the US Government, Russia and any other state involved in such activities to cease them, leading to a global convention against such weaponry;

I speculate that HAARP, when and if used for nefarious purposes (such as weather modification in co-operation with chemtrails), is remotely operated from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory and/or Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. During my humble investigation, I found that these three locations have produced much of the leading research and development. HAARP is an incredibly high-tech machine. You need highly skilled scientists and engineers to run the thing. The best place to run HAARP would be from a laboratory where the technology was developed. Also, most people (top scientists included) are generally not so hot about relocating to the wilds of Alaska. As noted earlier, HAARP can be remotely operated.

We know HAARP can modify the weather. If one could, don’t you think they would? Weather control is god-like power. Chemtrails may be sprayed to enhance the effectiveness of these operations. If this is the case, our government’s pattern of lying and obfuscation about HAARP makes perfect sense and is consistent with behavior exhibited by others associated with every aspect of chemtrails, geoengineering and the related activities I outline.

War Toys: US Kicks-off Global Drones Race – Ultimately to Collect Data and Search Citizens

War Toys: US Kicks-off Global Drones Race – Ultimately to Collect Data and Search Citizens

Last week, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez showcased his country’s first unmanned drone. It seems that an international race to dominate the sky has gone underway and the South American country has become a player in the game of drones with the help of Iran, Russia and China. Retired Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor joins us to explain why more and more countries are rushing to get their hands on an unmanned aircraft.

Air Force Set to Be Deployed Inside U.S. to Collect Data and Search Citizens

 

By Alex Thomas
theintelhub.com
June 7, 2012

The United States Air Force, through the use of unmanned aerial drones, is set to be deployed inside the United States to collect data, investigate places of interest, and share data with local police agencies.

An unclassified Air Force Memo from late April documents the fact that the military is operating drone aircraft domestically and that, through a complete end run around the Constitution, can essentially share it with local law enforcement even if it has no relation to terrorism.

While many articles have already been published detailing the fact that the military is or will be sharing information they collect with local law enforcement, a more startling fact has been largely ignored by the corporate controlled media. (until now)

In a recently published op-ed, Andrew Napolitano outlined the fact that once the military identifies something of interest they can apply to a military commander for permission to conduct searches of American property and or citizens which in turn is a form of martial law.

“It gets worse. If the military personnel see something of interest from a drone, they may apply to a military judge or “military commander” for permission to conduct a physical search of the private property that intrigues them. And, any “incidentally acquired information” can be retained or turned over to local law enforcement. What’s next? Prosecutions before military tribunals in the U.S,” wrote Napolitano.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation has also publicly commented on the fact that the Air Force is now openly recording information on the American people in domestic situations.

“We’ve seen in some records that were released by the Air Force just recently, that under their rules, they are allowed to fly drones in public areas and record information on domestic situations,” explained Jennifer Lynch, of the EFF.

Madison Ruppert, writing for EndtheLie.com, detailed the broad exceptions to a guideline that is supposed to limit the military from non-consensual surveillance.

While the U.S. Air Force’s guidelines claim that drones are not allowed to carry out “non-consensual surveillance” on U.S. citizens or property, there are plenty of exceptions to this allowing such surveillance to occur.

Some of these many exceptions outlined in the Air Force documents include:

– Investigating or preventing clandestine intelligence activities by foreign powers, international narcotics activities, or international terrorist activities

– Protecting DoD employees, information, property and facilities

– Preventing, detecting or investigating other violations of law

Seems pretty broad, doesn’t it? “Other violations of law” leaves the door wide open for the drones to be used for just about everything. After all, jaywalking is a violation of law. Does this mean that if a drone captures someone jaywalking, the use of military drones in U.S. airspace is somehow justified?

That’s right, the Air Force now has the authority to carry out drone surveillance on American citizens for essentially any violation of law.

Sadly, we now live in a country were 30,000 drones are set to be launched by various law enforcement agencies, the military, and private companies.

The idea of the military not being used against the American people has now been completely thrown out the window with the only hope citizens of this country have left being the support of individual military members who choose to go against these Unconstitutional directives.

 

 

US Space Command: The Proof is in the Patches

US Space Command: The Proof is in the Patches

Written by David Wilcock

As you may already know, I have been fortunate enough to interact with multiple witnesses who have worked in various levels of the UFO cover-up — some at levels significantly above the need-to-know basis of the President of the United States.

When you speak with the top-level insiders in the black-ops community, you often hear them mention THE RULES.

These projects are so compartmentalized that only the high-level people are even aware that THE RULES exist — or of how far-reaching they are.

It has taken me years of interviews to explore and unravel this strange subject — particularly because of the potential for confusion.

Sometimes, when insiders talk about THE RULES, they are talking about guidelines their own group insists they follow — such as secrets they must keep, disinformation they are expected to pass along, who gets to know how much, what mistakes are bad enough to get you killed, et cetera.

However, over the course of many conversations, I increasingly realized there was another level of THE RULES — a level they have absolutely no control over.


WHAT ARE “THE RULES”?

In this greater cosmic sense, THE RULES are a set of principles that the insider black-ops community has felt, for at least the past century, were as fixed and unchangeable as the Universe itself.

They also believed THE RULES would continue, unaltered, for millions of years. Apparently they have time-viewing technology that led them to believe this was the case.

The idea that this was a manipulated timeline, and not necessarily the real future, was far too mind-blowing for them to ever consider — particularly since you have people living within these timelines, and you can go and visit them and live there yourself.

Nonetheless, all ETs visiting the Earth must operate within THE RULES. It is impossible for them not to.


WHO MAKES “THE RULES?”

One day, only a few weeks ago, I finally got smart enough to bluntly ask one of my main contacts, “Who makes THE RULES?”

The reply was: “Who makes gravity? Who makes the sun rise and set? Who makes the Galaxy spin?

“We don’t know who makes THE RULES, David, but we have no choice but to follow them. There is no workaround. There is no other way. That’s why they’re THE RULES.”

This is a strange subject, and will undoubtedly lead to some folks laughing and thinking I’m crazy… but this is what you hear about when you talk to these insiders yourself.

At the highest levels of the UFO cover-up, it is well-understood that events on Earth, and indeed throughout the inhabited galaxy, are being managed and controlled — by unseen forces.

Some things are allowed to happen… and others are not.

 

THE ‘QUARANTINE’

As one key example of THE RULES, our Earth is under a ‘Quarantine’ that prevents most ETs from being able to enter our airspace in a way that would be visible to the naked eye — except in rare, unpredictable and brief bursts of time.

This is the main reason why we don’t see more visible UFOs — particularly in the case of negatively-oriented ETs. In fact, without this Quarantine, negative ETs would have invaded and taken over this planet eons ago.

This Quarantine also appears to allow those planetary controllers here on Earth to do whatever they want. Or so they thought.

The Quarantine is maintained by a vast network of super-advanced, indestructible satellites surrounding the Earth — built by very high-level ETs. These satellites keep humanity locked in — and everyone else locked out.

The insiders do not know who built these satellites, nor precisely why they are there. It’s simply another part of THE RULES.

When you view the patches of US Space Command or Navy Space Command, they picture the Earth surrounded by two circles, similar to the typical depiction of electron orbitals around an atom.

This symbolizes the Quarantine — which protects us from the bad guys.

 

LET’S SEE SOME PATCHES

On this official military website, you can find a patch commemorating the 25th anniversary of Air Force Space Command — from 1982 to 2007. You can see the two rings around the Earth clearly depicted, as well as a stylized image of a back-engineered ET spacecraft in flight:

air-force-space-command-25th-anniversary

 

From what I’ve heard, these triangular craft are enormous in size — taking quite some time to walk from one end to the other — and are already in operation throughout the galaxy. The shape you see in these emblems is almost exactly what they look like.

There is an official website you can visit for the Naval Space Command and the US Space Command. There is also a Wikipedia page for the US Space Command, linked from an even more detailed Unified Combatant Command page.

UNITED STATES SPACE COMMAND

If you read this US Space Command page, you will find very specific information about who was in charge, when they were in charge, and what they allegedly were up to… and it includes the following emblem, featuring the rings I’m talking about:

united_states_space_command_emblem

Notice the crosses on each of the rings. We’ll get back to that in a minute.

You can also read about US Space Command in this article on Space.com — in an interview with Gene McCall, chief scientist for the Air Force Space Command. Naturally, the article attempts to put a mundane spin on the story and does not include any real ‘juice’ of Disclosure.

AIR FORCE SPACE COMMAND

You again see the rings around the Earth in the Air Force Space Command patch. This was originally featured on the official Air Force Space Command website, which has since been taken down.

However, at this website, there is a comprehensive series of mirrored links to what was originally on these official websites — along with the now-defunct links. I suggest saving your own copy in case it gets taken down.

When you go to this mirror site and sort through the images and text, this triangular metallic flying machine image appears over and over again on various badges and emblems — along with the two “quarantine rings”:

airforce_spacecommand

 

Also, again notice the two crosses on either side of the delta-shaped spacecraft — crosses that directly contact the rings.

These, I believe, are meant to be Knights Templar crosses.

 

THE “KNIGHTS TEMPORAL”

In a Project Camelot interview, Gordon Novel revealed that these insiders like to refer to themselves as the Knights Temporal:

http://www.projectcamelot.org/lang/en/gordon_novel_interview_transcript_en.html

K: When you say “we,” who’s we?

The Knights Temporal

G: Well, I have a group of folks that I call the Knights Temporal.

The most prominent aerospace engineers and physicists in the world today are all part of a team we call the RAM group. We call ourselves the Knights Temporal.

We took a page out of the idea of the Templars, who basically blackmailed the Pope to give them the fiefdoms over Europe. They created the banking orders we have today.

Since we believe the technology is rooted in time, we call ourselves the Knights Temporal. The alien technology, the UFO, is basically a flying time machine. That’s what we believe, and it’s all we know about it.

What Novel does not say here is that these international bankers did not merely “take a page out of the idea of the Templars.” These groups are the direct descendants of the Knight Templars — and have still kept all their secrets.

 

NAVAL SPACE COMMAND

The same two “quarantine rings” appear in the emblem for the Naval Space Command, also mirrored at the above site:

naval_spacecommand

 

“TOP HAND” AT VANDENBURG AFB

This next patch can be found on the official Vandenburg Air Force Base website on Strategic Air Command.com.

Again we see a cross on one of the Earth’s protective rings. The sword, as we shall see, appears to be a Knight Templar blade.

With the line “Strengthen the Shield,” there is a clear implication here that the two rings around the Earth could be some sort of ‘shield’ that we want to make sure stays strong.

Further, there is the suggestion that this shield may be at least partially enforced by that same weird delta-shaped craft:

top-hand-sharpen-the-sword-strengthen-the-shield

 

AFSST 76TH SPACE OPS

Also check out this “AFSST 76th Space Ops” patch from the same site — the official Vandenburg Air Force Base website on Strategic Air Command.com.

Again we see one of the “quarantine rings” as well as the same flying metallic triangle — this time with wings around it just in case you didn’t get the point that it flies.

Two smaller delta-shaped craft also flank the AFSST acronym at the bottom:

afsst-mission-complete

Here’s a shot of the original Strategic Air Command page in case it disappears. Notice the Knight Templar glove holding lightning bolts in the insignia at the top left:

strategic-air-command-patches

JOINT FUNCTIONAL COMPONENT COMMAND FOR SPACE

The “quarantine rings” and flying metallic triangles show up again in the emblem for the Joint Functional Component Command for Space, which has its own official Wikipedia page here:

uss-stratcom-jffcc-space

As it says on the Wikipedia page, according to Lieutenant General William L. Shelton, “Our prime mission directive in JFCC SPACE is to ensure our freedom of action in space, while preventing adversary use of space against us.”

 

SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE

These badges from Schriever Air Force Base follow the same theme — quarantine rings and peculiar aircraft operating far outside the Earth’s atmosphere.

Notice the difference in size between the small black delta-shaped craft and the larger metallic delta-shaped craft in the first badge below.

That size difference may not be an indication that one is closer than the other — it may acutally be a direct indication of how huge the larger craft is in comparison to the black one:

space-test-experimentation-space-test-squadron

This next badge is particularly interesting because of the emblem that appears at the bottom:

usaf-history-heritage

I have been told this Pegasus “Master of Space” logo is worn by staff who have direct, high-level involvement with extraterrestrial human civilizations — typically those working for Space Command.

The Pegasus legend of the ‘winged horse’, used by the Gods to travel in Greek mythology, may well indicate some sort of extraterrestrial craft.

This follows the same chain of reasoning presented in Episode Two of this season’s Ancient Aliens on History Channel, which I am a repeat participant in.

 

THIRD PAGE OF BADGES FROM SCHRIEVER AFB

There are so many goodies on the third page of badges from the Schriever AFB site — delta craft, Templar swords, Templar gloves, quarantine rings, et cetera — that I had to just post the whole thing:

military-space-patches-1

There are many, many indications of the Knight Templars here — and indeed, many insiders have said the Air Force is much more involved in the UFO cover-up than other organizations.

You probably caught the Masonic compass in the image on the bottom right. There is a Templar glove below it holding a sword of fire.

I was particularly fascinated by the Templar Knight gloves that had a mysterious energetic force coming off of them on the 310th Communications Flight badge — suggesting the mastery of hidden Universal powers:

310_communications_flight

 

FOURTH PAGE OF SCHRIEVER AFB BADGES

The fourth page of badges from the Schriever AFB contains additional enigmas — including a straight-ahead Templar skull and crossbones symbol:

military-space-patches-4


The 50th Contracting Squadron badge at the top left may be a nod to the fact that human beings appear all over the galaxy — hence we see the image of a human body away from the Earth, and the Pegasus logo alongside it.

The 50th Space Communications Squadron badge at the top right has the Templar glove, again with the suggestion of a “Thunderbolt” coming out of it.

According to the second episode of this season’s Ancient Aliens, which I did plenty of research for but didn’t get in fast enough to make the cut, the many ancient ‘Thunderbolt’ legends appear to refer back to a working ET weapon that was used in historic times.

Such a weapon then later became mythologized in such stories as Zeus’ Thunderbolt, Thor’s Hammer, Odin’s Spear, Poseidon’s Trident, Vajra’s Spear, et cetera.

 

THOUGHTFORM ENTITIES AND PROTECTING EARTH

The nasty-looking hooded being on the 23D Space Operations HQ badge, second over from the bottom left, clearly seems to represent the “Thoughtform Entities” I have been told these guardians of Earth are actively defending us against.

Notice the being has at least two faces — one made by the two winglike eyes in the middle, and another in profile view on the left-hand side, where a pointy nose, brow and chin are all clearly visible.

The rear of the head, in profile view, suggests pointy ears. I have indeed heard from an insider, recently, that at least one ET group does in fact have pointy ears — and looks very similar to certain ‘gargoyle’ faces we see on many Templar-designed buildings.

23d-space-operations-squadron-semper-vigilans

Whether you agree with what they’re doing or not, the people I speak to are absolutely convinced that the Earth would be much worse off if they were not doing their jobs.

This desire to protect humanity from outside negative forces is a strong rationale for why they continue to stay involved in these jobs, even though there are many questionable ethics involved.

It is certainly interesting to see a hooded being looming over the Earth on a badge dedicated to “space operations.”

FIFTH PAGE OF BADGES FROM SCHRIEVER AFB

The fifth and final page of badges from Schriever AFB has even more goodies. First, here’s the full view:

military-space-patches-2


Notice the two stylized birds flanking the star on the bottom-center image. They most definitely appear to be depictions of the Phoenix.

What better symbol to choose if you’re describing a journey through a stargate — where you appear to ‘die’ and dematerialize on one end, only to be ‘reborn’ from the other?

As you’ll see in a minute, this was the original Air Force logo!

Now let’s explore some more of these images in detail.

THE STARGATE

First of all, as we see below in its larger form, we have a badge that may very well be showing us a pentagonal Stargate vortex emerging from the Northwest United States:

21st-space-operations-sq-gateway-to-the-stars

More than one insider has told me that the ‘ancient’ stargates look like tunnels lined with individual points of light, in a clear geometric relationship to each other, and which spiral in on themselves as you look more deeply into the wormhole.

The points of light may very well be in a pentagonal relationship to each other along the circumference of the circle, though no one has told me this. I also never thought to ask until now — but it may very well be.

A slight hint of this stargate pattern appears in the movie Minority Report, when you look off to the right in this particular shot:

minority_report_interface

Getting back to this 21st Space Operations badge, it even features the words ‘gate’ and ‘star’ right in the description — Gateway to the Stars.

 

IS THE AIR FORCE LOGO PARTLY INTENDED TO DEPICT A STARGATE?

The five-pointed star with a circle inside of it is a common feature of the basic Air Force badge, which went through two different stages of development. This is apparently another homage to the stargates or ‘portals’ being used at the insider levels.

I already pointed out the original Air Force logo, where the pentagon is flanked with stylized Phoenix birds on either side. This logo then went through an evolution into its current form, as these images depict:

new_af_aaf

aflogo_history

air_force_logo

 

 

WHAT TYPE OF AIR TRAFFIC ARE THEY CONTROLLING?

Check this one out from the Air Force Communicators and Air Traffic Controllers Association.

In the center you have the pentagonal Air Force / stargate logo — flanked with the Phoenix birds of fire.

Then you’ve got a jet on the right and “something else” on the left — our delta-shaped craft once again — protecting a triangular-shaped Earth in the same ‘quarantine loops’ I’ve been showing you:

warfighting-integration-chief-information-officer

The triangle shape appears to indicate the tetrahedral energy signatures that run through the Earth and other planets, as Richard C. Hoagland has been asserting since at least 1993.

The tetrahedral energy appears at the 19.5-degree latitude, north or south, on any given planet.

On solid planets it emerges as volcanoes, such as Hawaii on Earth and the enormous Olympus Mons on Mars.

On gas planets we have the Great Red Spot of Jupiter, the Great Dark Spot of Neptune, cloud bands on Saturn, et cetera — all at the magic 19.5-degree latitude.

 

DEFENDERS OF THE DOMAIN

One of the most compelling pieces from Schriever AFB is this next badge below.

Here, we see a simplified but undeniable diagram of the Global Grid I have written about for so many years.

The real Grid is not made of a square pattern like this, but is otherwise extremely similar — including the spherical ‘nodes’ where the lines cross.

We also see a Knight Templar in full royal regalia:

schriever_defenders-information-assurance

Even the clovers carved into the knight’s mask are obvious, stylized versions of the Templar cross:

information-awareness-close

 

THE NORAD LOGO

The official NORAD logo (NORth American Aerospace Defense command) also contains the ‘quarantine loops’ around the Earth.

This time the loops appear stylized as wings — and we also see the Templar sword with stylized ‘thunderbolts’ coming off of it:

north_american_aerospace_defense_command

 

310TH SPACE WING

More goodies can be found on the official page for the 310th Space Wing:

310-space-wing-division

This next badge from the above website caught my eye in particular.

It is a seemingly earlier version of the same 310th Communications Flight badge I showed you before. Again we see the delta-shaped craft and the Earth with quarantine rings in the middle.

We also prominently see the knights’ gloves with thunderbolts coming off of the fingers.

Again, this badge suggests the Templar Knights may have possessed mystical capabilities to manipulate energy — either by thought alone, or with some form of ‘thunderbolt’ technology, as we see in many ancient myths:

310_communications

310_flight_text

PLENTY OF EVIDENCE

Of course, none of this is absolutely conclusive proof that there is any off-planet work going on within Space Command, nor that they have access to stargate ‘portal’ technology or interstellar delta-shaped craft.

However, I have spoken to several different insiders who have given me various pieces of this puzzle — and they all fit together very well.

When independent witnesses keep telling you the same things, you start paying attention.

It is highly, highly interesting that we see so much redundancy in the symbolism of these various military badges — over and over again. I’ve only given you a brief sample of what you can uncover with your own research.

 


THE QUARANTINE DROPS AFTER 2012

Everyone ‘in the know’ is well aware of THE RULES, and the Quarantine that exists around the Earth.

Apparently you can’t just fly a ship out of Earth’s atmosphere without opening a hole in the Quarantine first. This had to be done for all the Apollo missions, I am told, as otherwise they would have never made it out of here alive.

The ETs that have been working with the US and other governments for the past century apparently possess technology that allows for short-term openings to be made in the Quarantine.

Space Command is very glad we have the Quarantine, as it protects us from outside invading forces. When random holes occur, Space Command uses their own ships to further defend the Earth — as their badges indicate.

Another very interesting point I’ve been told is that Space Command and its affiliates have reason to believe the Quarantine will drop some time after 2012. This is a significant part of the transformation we are now going through.

At this point, the Earth will enter into open contact with its ET neighbors.

There is also the implication or suggestion that the dropping of this Quarantine will also enhance the mystical and psychic abilities of the average person as well.

 

EVERYTHING CAN BE FOUND IN “THE LAW OF ONE”

The ‘Quarantine’ is one of a variety of very specific data points that were revealed in the Law of One series, most of which came through in 1981 to Don Elkins, Carla Rueckert and Jim McCarty of L/L Research.

The best way to introduce yourself to this staggeringly complex body of information — all of which is now free to read online — is to consult the Study Guide I have posted at this site. I highly recommend you explore this research, and feel it is one of the best possible uses of your time.

I have pointed out to several insiders now that everything they’re telling me — all the most significant data points — can be found in this one series from 1981.

I consistently urge that they read it, as they would be shocked to discover how well the material lines up with what they already know.

However, everyone is ‘too busy’ — and the big discovery still remains waiting in the wings.


LAW OF ONE ON THE ‘QUARANTINE’

If you feel you have the time, here’s a full list of all the places where the ‘quarantine’ is discussed in the Law of One series — and it is a fascinating read:

http://lawofone.info/results.php?search_string=quarantine&search_type=any&numeric_order=1&ss=1&sc=0

These two sets of quotes from Sessions Six and Twelve really stand out for me:

6.25 Questioner: Do any of the [positive Confederation ETs] come here at this time in spacecraft? In the past, say, thirty years?

Ra: I am Ra. We must state that this information is unimportant. If you will understand this, we feel that the information may be acceptably offered. The Law of One is what we are here to express. However, we will speak upon this subject.

Each planetary entity which wishes to appear within your third-dimensional space/time distortion requests permission to break quarantine, as you may call it, and appear to your peoples.

The reason and purpose for this appearance is understood, and either accepted or rejected. There have been as many as fifteen of the Confederation entities in your skies at any one time; the others available to you through thought.

At present [1981] there are seven which are operating with craft in your density.

Their purposes are very simple: to allow those entities of your planet to become aware of infinity, which is often best expressed to the uninformed as the mysterious or unknown.

 

12.3 Questioner: Is there any effort on the part of the Confederation to stop the Orion chariots [piloted by negative, “service to self” ETs] from arriving here?

Ra: I am Ra. Every effort is made to quarantine this planet.

However, the network of guardians, much like any other pattern of patrols on whatever level, does not hinder each and every entity from penetrating quarantine — for if a request is made in light/love, the Law of One will be met with acquiescence.

If the request is not made, due to the slipping through the net, then there is penetration of this net.

12.5 Questioner: I don’t understand how the Confederation stops the Orion chariots from coming through the quarantine?

Ra: I am Ra. There is contact at the level of light-form or lightbody-being, depending upon the vibratory level of the guardian.

These guardians sweep reaches of your Earth’s energy fields to be aware of any entities approaching. [DW: The satellites I have heard about from the insiders appear to be the automated detection system that alerts these ‘Guardians’.]

An entity which is approaching is hailed in the name of the One Creator.

Any entity thus hailed is bathed in love/light, and will of free will obey the quarantine due to the power of the Law of One.

12.6 Questioner: What would happen to the entity if he did not obey the quarantine after being hailed?

Ra: I am Ra. To not obey quarantine after being hailed on the level of which we speak would be equivalent to your not stopping upon walking into a solid brick wall.

12.7 Questioner: What would happen to the entity if he did this? What would happen to his chariot?

Ra: I am Ra. The Creator is one being. The vibratory level of those able to breach the quarantine boundaries is such that upon seeing the love/light net it is impossible to break this Law.

Therefore, nothing happens. No attempt is made. There is no confrontation.

The only beings who are able to penetrate the quarantine are those who discover windows or distortions in the space/time continua surrounding your planet’s energy fields.

Through these windows they come. These windows are rare and unpredictable.

 

This is only one of many hundreds of examples where I have found a perfect correspondence between what the top-level insiders tell me and what we find written in the Law of One series.

 

THE ‘QUANTUM LEAP’

I have worked for years to flesh out the Law of One’s cosmology into a scientific thesis — with stunning results, as you can find in my videos, conferences, radio shows, articles and books.

A window of 2011 to 2013 was given in the Law of One series as a time where a ‘quantum leap’ would occur in Earth’s history, propelling us into an amazingly beautiful new Golden Age.

Once this shift fully takes place — which may involve 100 to 700 years for the full transition to complete — the average human being will have all the abilities attributed to Jesus and other ‘Ascended Masters’ — and more.

Even though it may take some time for this transformation to occur, there is no question that the initial ‘quantum leap’ in 2011-2013 is something absolutely remarkable, breathtaking and unprecedented in Earth’s history.


A GALACTIC TRANSFORMATION

This ‘quantum leap’ is the result of our Solar System traversing into a more highly-charged region of the galaxy — wherein the actual physics of matter, energy and consciousness irreversibly shift.

This galactic transformation propels the Earth into an energetic state called ‘Fourth Density’ — as opposed to our current ‘third.’

These same energy states appear in the human body as the seven chakras. They also constitute what most people mistakenly call “dimensional levels”, which apparently exist as planes of existence throughout the entire Universe.

The shift into fourth-density is essentially a graduation from the yellow, self-oriented center to the green, heart-oriented perspective.

No mention of the Mayan Calendar ever occurred in The Law of One, as Dr. Don Elkins knew nothing about it — nor the importance of the 2012 date in many ancient prophecies.

It is highly ironic that the most accurate and comprehensive body of 2012 prophecy information makes no mention of the Mayan Calendar whatsoever… nor any of the other common talking points related to 2012.

 

THE MOST ADVANCED SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION ON EARTH

Obviously, until this shift actually happens, we cannot be certain of what will occur — nor of exactly how it will occur.

Nonetheless, there are hundreds of specific, highly technical scientific data points in the Law of One series that have since been proven correct.

This makes it highly unlikely that the whole model will fall apart when it comes to the Fourth-Density Shift.

I have yet to find a single contradiction or error in the Law of One cosmology. In fact, the more I follow up on the leads we were given, the more advanced and beautifully perfect the model becomes.

I struggled for many years with the frequently-mentioned concept of a parallel universe where time is three-dimensional — but finally this year I solved this greatest of all mysteries, and truly understood how and why it was the key to everything.

My upcoming book The Source Field Investigations — due for release next May — is significantly more evolved than any other presentation I’ve given on this subject.

The CONVERGENCE film script has now been brought fully up to date with these latest breakthroughs as well, and we hope to have a finished draft ready to show directors, actors and investors by early January.

Who dumps technology more advanced than NASA on to NASA and thinks nothing of it? This admission of at least this segment of a secretive space program is quite revealing. It will probably slip by mainstream media, but sit up and take notice, this is a serious admission here.

NASA gets two military spy telescopes for astronomy

(Washington Post) The secretive government agency that flies spy satellites has made a stunning gift to NASA: two exquisite telescopes as big and powerful as the Hubble Space Telescope. They’ve never left the ground and are in storage in Rochester, N.Y.

It’s an unusual technology transfer from the military-intelligence space program to the better-known civilian space agency. It could be a boost for NASA’s troubled science program, which is groaning under the budgetary weight of the James Webb Space Telescope, still at least six years from launch.

Or it could be a gift that becomes a burden. NASA isn’t sure it can afford to put even one of the two new telescopes into orbit.

The telescopes were built by private contractors for the National Reconnaissance Office, one of 16 U.S. intelligence agencies. The telescopes have 2.4-meter (7.9-foot) mirrors, just like the Hubble, but they have 100 times the field of view. Their structure is shorter and squatter.

They’re “space qualified,” as NASA puts it, but they’re a long way from being functioning space telescopes. They have no instruments — there are no cameras, for example. More than that, they lack a funded mission and all that entails, such as a scientific program, support staff, data analysis and office space. They will remain in storage while NASA mulls its options.

“It’s great news,” said NASA astrophysics director Paul Hertz. “It’s real hardware, and it’s got really impressive capabilities.”

The announcement Monday raised the obvious question of why the intelligence agency would no longer want, or need, two Hubble-class telescopes. A spokeswoman, Loretta DeSio, provided information sparingly.

“They no longer possessed intelligence-collection uses,” she said of the telescopes.

She confirmed that the hardware represents an upgrade of Hubble’s optical technology.  MORE HERE

Anything fishy here? Two telescopes on mothballs better than Hubble? Are they toying with us? This is just nuts news.

Secret Space Program?

You really think we get the whole story about anything, especially regarding military or technological advancements?

I personally met a man in New Mexico who used to work at the infamous Area 51. You can imagine how I tried to wangle information out of him, but he was tight-lipped. When I came back at him the third time after trying to act indifferent he finally said, “Let’s just put it this way. The stuff I worked on back in the 60′s still hasn’t come out.”

And my impression was he was a low-level tech.

There’s a lot of testimony as well as conjecture about Moon and Mars missions and the like you can read about on line, as well as many other “forbidden” realms of research. That we’re surrounded by technology that far surpasses what has been introduced into the mass mind is a no-brainer, so to speak.

It’s thought that black-op advances are decades if not centuries ahead of “known” technologies.

So What.

These psychos are on a path of self destruction—-hence—psycho-path.  We just don’t want it to be at the expense of the innocent. Nice thing is we can’t be eliminated, we’re multi-dimensional eternal consciousness.

Now THAT has their knickers in a twist!

Be well, be aware. But this tech stuff we do need to keep an eye on to see what these wackos are up to.

Keep on informing, helping others find out who they truly are, and keep the wake up rolling.

Love, Zen

Drone filmmaker denied visa

A Pakistani student is unable to accept his film festival award because he is denied the right to enter the U.S.

http://www.salon.com/2012/05/18/drone_filmmaker_denied_visa/singleton/

That the U.S. is routinely killing innocent civilians in multiple Muslim countries is one of the great taboos in establishment media discourse. A film that documents the horrors and Terror brought by the U.S. to innocent people — and the way in which that behavior constantly strengthens the Terrorists, thus eternally perpetuating its own justification — threatens to subvert that taboo. So this filmmaker is simply kept out of the country, in Pakistan, where he can do little harm to U.S. propaganda (as usual, U.S. government claims of secrecy based on national security are primarily geared toward ensuring effective propagnada — of the American citizenry). Isn’t it time for another Hillary Clinton lecture to the world on the need for openness and transparency? “Those societies that believe they can be closed to change, to ideas, cultures, and beliefs that are different from theirs, will find quickly that in our internet world they will be left behind,” she so inspirationally intoned last month. – Glenn Greenwald

 

Drones: As military Use Expands, Civil Use Being Developed

Just a few days after a senior US counter-terrorism expert warned  that US drone strikes were turning Yemen into the “Arabian equivalent of Waziristan”, US drone strikes yesterday aped the tactic of ‘follow up’ strikes used by the US in Pakistan.

According to CNN, a strike in which seven  suspected Al-Qaeda militants were killed was followed by a strike on local residents rushing to the scene to help the injured.  Local sources said that between eight and twelve civilians were killed in the second, follow-up strike.  A Yemeni security officials expressed regret for the civilian casualties and injuries. “The targets of the raids were not the civilians, and we give our condolences to the families of those who lost a loved one.”

Over the past few weeks US drone strikes and other military activity has been ratcheted up in Yemen as the White House has given ‘greater leeway’ to the CIA and JSOC to launch attacks.  Micah Zenko at the US Council on Foreign Relations estimates there will be more US strikes this month in Yemen than there has ever been in a single month in Pakistan.  For details see the Bureau of Investigative Journalism’s excellent database of US covert activity in Yemen.

Drone strikes continue in Pakistan of course and no doubt in Afghanistan although almost no details of these are released.  Last week the US apologised after a strike killed a mother and her five children in Afghanistan but it was not revealed if the strikes was from a drone or a manned aircraft.

Drone fatalities continue to spread around the globe.  As we reported last year, US drones from Iraq were moved to Turkey to help the Turkish military “monitor” Kurdish separatists.  Today (16 May) it was revealed by the Wall Street Journal that information from one of these drones led directly to a Turkish military attack in which 38 civilians were killed last December.   Last week an engineer  working for an Austrian company was killed and two others injured when a drone they were demonstrating to the South Korean military crashed.

Meanwhile preparations aimed at  enabling the use of unmanned drones to fly  in civil airspace continues at a brisk pace both in the US and the UK.

Yesterday the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced that it had met the deadline for the first changes demanded by the new FAA Act aimed at allowing drones to fly in US civil airspace by September 2015.  The Act mandated that the FAA must streamline the process for government agencies to gain Certificates of Authorization (COA) to fly drones  within US civil airspace within 90 days.

Meanwhile in the UK BAE Systems has begun a series of flight tests over the Irish Sea as part of a programme aimed at allowing  unmanned drones to fly within UK civil airspace. BAE Systems is one of a number of military aerospace companies funding the ASTRAEA (Autonomous Systems Technology Related Airborne Evaluation & Assessment) programme.  According to the  ASTRAEA website it is “a UK industry-led consortium focusing on the technologies, systems, facilities, procedures and regulations that will allow autonomous vehicles to operate safely and routinely in civil airspace over the United Kingdom.”

According to The Engineer, BAE has fitted an “autonomous navigation system” on a Jetstream 31 passenger aircraft to enable it to fly without a pilot – although a pilot was on board in case of problems.

A BAE spokesperson told the Guardian that the tests “will demonstrate to regulators such as the Civil Aviation Authority and air traffic control service providers the progress made towards achieving safe routine use of UAVs [unmanned air vehicle] in UK airspace.”  Further flights  will take place over the next three months  testing infra-red systems as well as ‘sense-and-avoid’ systems.

UPPERSBERGER TO BE CHALLENGED ON CONFLICT OF INTEREST IN CAMPAIGN FUNDING BY DRONE-MAKERS

  When the 2012 national Know Drones Tour comes to Baltimore on Thursday, May 3, it will challenge Congressperson C.A. “Dutch” Ruppersberger, a member of the House Unmanned Systems (Drone) Caucus, to reallocate $190,000 in campaign contributions[1] that he has received from drone makers and related businesses to benefit children in US drone strike zones and to the Baltimore City Schools.

“The Congress has done no effective oversight of US drone warfare and has opened US skies to drones carrying weapons and to drone surveillance of the US public,” said Nick Mottern, director of the Know Drones Tour.  “Congressman Ruppersberger, as a member of the House Armed Services Committee and the House Permanent Committee on Intelligence, has direct responsibilities related to drone war and drone surveillance,” Mottern continued, “and he can avoid any appearance of conflict of interest by sending his drone industry campaign contributions to kids who are being harmed by the US infatuation with drones and by resigning from the drone caucus, a lobbying group for the drone industry within the Congress.”

Max Obuszewski, a long-time advocate for peace and justice made this observation: “It is shocking that the Obama administration has used drone strikes to murder U.S. citizens.  This horrible affront to due process suggests that the Bill of Rights is being shredded.”

The tour, endorsed by Baltimore Pledge of Resistance, the National Campaign for Nonviolent Resistance, Code Pink, War Resisters League and others (below), uses 8’ long replicas of the MQ-9 Reaper drone to do sidewalk education on the legal, ethical and civil liberties concerns raised by the surge in US drone warfare and drone surveillance.

 The Know Drones Tour is endorsed by: American Civil Liberties Union (Philadelphia),American Friends Service Committee, Brandywine Peace Committee, Bryn Mawr Peace Coalition, Brooklyn For Peace, Bryn Mawr Peace Coalition, Catholic Peace Fellowship (Philadelphia), Coalition for Peace and Justice (Southern New Jersey), Code Pink, Interfaith Peace Network of Western New York, Granny Peace Brigade (Philadelphia), International Action Center,Occupy Wall Street – Anti-War, National Campaign for Nonviolent Resistance, Pakistan Solidarity Network, Pax Christi – Greensburg, PA, Peace Action New York, Peace Center of Delaware County (PA), Pledge of Resistance-Baltimore, United National Antiwar Coalition (UNAC), Upstate NY Coalition to Ground the Drones & End the Wars, Veterans for Peace, Chapter #128 (Buffalo, NY), Veterans for Peace (Philadelphia), Voices for Creative Non-Violence, War Resisters League, WESPAC Foundation, Western New York Peace Center, Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (Philadelphia), World Can’t Wait.
