Censored Gulf dispersant news: Act of war (Pt II) The art of chemical warfare

EPA, DoD, PetroChem corporations: bed fellows to rid “pests”

Chemical warfare on Americans in the Gulf Coast region and beyond has been planned and researched by the EPA, DoD and petro-chemical companies for decades according to government documents, some cited within this report below.

It is tragically naive to think that the Gulf region aerial pesticide spraying will stop before the mission is complete. The major agency holding the key to halt the genocide, the agency portrayed as the government body protecting the public and environment, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), has been collaborating with chemical companies and the Department of Defense (DoD) for decades rather than protecting the public from their kill-off agenda. This collaboration increased during the Bush administration, its fruits finally overtly witnessed in Obama' Gulf operation.

"From environmentalists and wildlife specialists to fisherman and businessmen along the Gulf Coast the message is the same: BP is not only strangling the news of what is actually occurring in the Gulf of Mexico with the oil disaster but has co-opted key federal regulatory and oversight agencies to advance its agenda and that of its oil partners, including Halliburton, Anadarko, and Transocean," writes Wayne Madsen now in New Orleans.

BP, Coast Guard, NOAA, FAA, EPA are all engaged in one of the largest cover-ups in U.S. history,  as well-organized and well-prepared to apply as the very pesticides they spray on people of the Deep South.

During Bush’s first four years in office, the EPA entered fifty-seven corporate research and development agreements with individual corporations or industry associations, many of which were chemical corporations, compared to thirty-four such agreements in Clinton’s 2nd term.(1) The American Chemical Council is now EPA’s leading research partner. Furthermore, the EPA gains over 90% of its funding from petro-chemical companies, as documented in Josh Tickell’s FUEL film.

In April 2005, EPA’s Science Advisory Board warned that the agency was no longer funding credible public health research.

The Department of Health and Human Services has, nevertheless, set aside $10 million to 'study cleanup workers and gulf residents over time'(2) to research effects of the Gulf aerial spraying military operation, one of, if not the largest non-consensual human experiment to date. The EPA is involved in this research project.

In Louisiana hospitals, doctors and nurses are “manning” decontamination tents, no doubt monitoring - non-consensual human research, even if patients sign a consent form. What real choice do scared, hopeless people have under the circumstances?

Compounding this horror is EPA sharing its bed with the Department of Defense, working hand-in-hand for its federally funded research projects, including many related to “possible effects” of “pesticides.”

According to the 2005 government paper, The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Collaborate to Enhance on Site Detection and Identification of Pesticides and Nerve Agents and the Department of Defense: “The Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Pesticide Programs maintains the National Pesticide Standard Repository (NPSR), located at the Environmental Science Center (ESC), in Fort Meade, MD. Analytical standards of all pesticides registered for use in the United States must be sent to the NPSR.”(3)

In Chapter II of the document, Federal And Department Of Defense Guidance Of The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Collaborate To Enhance On Site Detection And Identification Of Pesticides And Nerve Agents, it is stated that the EPA regulates pesticide use within the U.S. under authority of two laws, the Federal Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), and the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA).[575] FIFRA classifies pesticides as either restricted or general use.

Dod Pesticide 'Champions' says EPA

DoD Directive 4150.7 "Department of Defense Pest Management Program" provided policy for DoD pest management and control operations worldwide for all services. Furthermore, a U.S. Department of Defense article entitled “EPA Names DOD ‘Champion’ for Pestitcide Management” states:

"The Department of Defense (DoD) Armed Forces Pest Management Board (AFPMB) has been recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a 'Champion' in their Pesticide Environmental Stewardship Program. EPA recognized AFPMB for its extraordinary level of commitment and outstanding efforts to reduce pesticide risks and protect human health and the environment.

"The AFPMB is one of more than 130 members of the program established in 1994 to reduce risks associated with pesticides. Dr. Janet Anderson, director of EPA's Biopesticides and Pollution Prevention Division, said that DoD, the only federal agency awarded Champion status in 2002, deserved the award for "pushing the envelope by setting ambitious goals and implementing strategies for reducing pesticide risk."

The overview in the document entitled, “Two Sample Spectra Comparing Pesticides With Chemical Agents” further highlights the depth of the DoD – EPA relationship. This states:

"The US EPA Office of Pesticides Programs (OPP) Analytical Chemistry Branch (ACB) and the U.S. Air Force collaborated to support Homeland Security by producing a library of infrared spectra that would be used with a portable Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) detector to compare and identify pesticides that might be used at a possible terrorist or Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) site.

This same document’s “TAB C-3 – Pesticide Guidance, Reference Information, and Research” Overview includes background information on federal and Department of Defense guidance in effect during the “Gulf War.’ It lists internet sites supplying referenced information about pesticides, and federally-funded research projects related to possible effects of pesticide use during the “Gulf War.”

Under “II. Federal And Department Of Defense Guidance” in this document it is stated, “The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates pesticide use within the US under the authority of two laws — the Federal Insecticide Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), and the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA).[575] FIFRA classifies pesticides as either restricted or general use.”

Also important in understanding just how well established, deep-seated and global in nature the toxic aerial spraying research on humans program is DoD Directive 4150.7, "Department of Defense Pest Management Program.” This provides a policy for DoD pest management and control operations worldwide for all services. (Emphasis added) Modelled after EPA standards, DoD’s stated policy has been to "establish and maintain safe, efficient, and environmentally sound integrated pest management programs to prevent or control pests that may adversely affect health or damage structures, material, or property." (Emphasis added)

Several research projects have been investigating possible health effects of multiple chemicals, including pesticides. The Department of Veterans’ Affairs, working through the Research Working Group of the Persian Gulf Veterans Coordinating Board, have coordinated the projects. The Annual Report of this working group discloses one of its aims:

“Investigate innovative technologies for improving methods for real-time and cumulative monitoring of pesticide exposure, and identify useful biomarkers to assist in post-exposure assessments.[p. 587]

The document, DoD 4150.7-P, September 1996 on Page 12, states that the Secretary of Defense may submit to EPA for approval, a plan for certification of DoD employees as applicators of restricted use pesticides. Aerial spraying can be conducted without state certification.

In Chapter 2 on Page 13 of this paper, it is stated: "EPA, DoD employees certified in accordance with the plan may, without obtaining any additional State certification, use and supervise the use of restricted use pesticides while engaged in the performance of their official duties.” (Emphasis added)

This document provides “standards of competency required by the Department of Defense.” Category 11 is of interest, Aerial Application Pest Control:

"Individuals certified in this category must successfully complete the core and appropriate category(s). They must complete a training program and pass a written examination that covers the following areas: general principles, meteorological aspects, legal aspects, environmental aspects, DoD spray systems and aircraft, aerial spray math, aerial spray maps, contingency operations, spray system calibration, swath characterization, pesticides and pesticide safety, and aerial spray in the military." (7)

The petrochemical-military-industrial complex operation conducted today in the Gulf to "disperse" oil might be officially classified “experimentation." With years and millions of dollars spent on such research and pesticide application on humans, however, this operation’s health effects on the human population are better known than admitted.

Public response is denial, an initial sign of shock, when hearing that  its military, the EPA and chemical corporations have been preparing for chemical warfare on its people. Facts remain, however, that in blatant contempt of the Nuremberg Code, using both legal loopholes and “national security” as justification, secret programs involving non-consensual human experimentation of chemical weapons of mass destruction in the form of pesticide aerial spraying, have been and are conducted, even on our children, nothing more than "pests" to the Illuminati.

There is no end to death and destruction through aerial chemical spraying that the U.S. military and its bedmates, EPA and chemical companies. Madsen reports:

What is actually 'closed' at Fort Jackson is a major joint BP-Coast Guard Corexit operation. WMR has also been informed by a reputable source that BP has been engaged in night time spraying of a bleaching agent on Louisiana beaches to make it appear that the beaches are being cleaned up. The planes, which fly at night, disregard flight regulations by flying with their lights out. The operations have been approved by the Coast Guard and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)."
 

The deliberate aerial poisoning of Americans with a chemical weapon of mass destruction now obvious in the Gulf of Mexico and coastal region is not only an act of war on the American population. As the poisoned waters and air circumvent the planet, this operation is a national security risk to nations throughout the world.

    At the core of a human is their soul, their life - if you will. When I compute that into an analogy by name - I sadly come to the conclusion of a deeper meaning behind the name "COREXIT" or perhaps more appropriately "CORE - EXIT". The "nickname" for the dispersant is "TOP KILL" - how apt for it WILL kill many on "the top" as will their poisoning of the gulf will kill underwater life as well. Chemical warefare is a conclusion I came to a while ago,and by the contents of this well articulated article I CAN SEE that I am not alone in my understanding, and shall do my best to insure that the numbers sharing this knowledge WILL be exponentially increased.

    Hmmm, I was hoping to see something damning, but all I see is unfounded allegations, and huge leaps in logic. After the effects of Agent Orange on Vietnam Vets, I am glad to hear that the DoD and EPA are working together closely. The EPA being funded by chemical producers is a possible cause for concern, but is much the same as drug companies paying for drug trials. The independent watchdog ensures honesty while the benefactor pays for the research. DoD personnel may use restricted access pesticides, provided they have appropriate certification. The same applies to civilians - the only difference is the certifying body. Setting aside $10m to monitor people's health sounds like a good idea, not proof of guilt.

    None of this however proves a conspiracy or even implies "Chemical warfare on Americans".

    I'm not saying that these things are not happening. What I'm saying is that this article fails to join any dots.
