stratosphere and troposphere via jets, drones, ships, and rockets.
                   In short, our atmosphere is no longer conducting natural charge, current, and voltage. Instead,
               we  are  now  breathing  from  a  ramped-up  amplifier  /  condenser  /  antenna  built  of  conductive
               nano-metals and ionized electrons. Tiny and almost weightless for maximum long-lasting loft,
               metal  nanoparticles  offer  multiplied  surface  area  and  attract  moisture  for  generating  storms.
               Besides attaching to and ionizing molecules of oxygen, those in the upper atmosphere bond with
               and  draw  unknown  organisms  down  into  our  atmosphere,  creating  chemical  synergies  our
               immune systems know nothing about. Yet we are forced to breathe this chemical witches’ brew
               while  the  nanoparticles  (including  “smart  dust”  and  “dusty  plasma”)  breach  our  blood-brain
               barrier.
                   Thus it is no longer only the unseen world of wireless radio waves and microwaves pulsing
               through our bodies and brains that we must take into account but nano-synergies that our Earth
               and immune systems are so far ill-equipped to handle. 4
                   The  military-industrial-intelligence  complex  gave  the  green  light  to  nanotechnology  more
               than twenty years ago, about the time that jets began spewing nano-metals. Nano-scale materials,
               tools and devices now exceed profits of $1 trillion per year.
                   The nano-revolution—like the non-ionized radiation revolution—occurred very quietly so as
               to avoid public attention and government safety trials and standards. Owning the weather was the
               overarching military-industrial-intelligence objective, not health. Nor was it the first time that the
               biosphere  had  to  serve  as  collateral  damage  for  open  field  “research”  under  Section  1520a
               Chapter 32 of U.S. Code Title 50, “Restrictions on use of human subjects for testing of chemical
               or biological agents”:

                     Title 50 defines the role of war and national defense, and Chapter 32 sets limits on chemical and biological warfare
                     programs.  While  the  Secretary  of  Defense  may  not  conduct  any  chemical  or  biological  experiments  on  civilian
                     populations,  the  loophole  lies  in  allowing  for  medical,  therapeutic,  pharmaceutical,  agricultural,  and  industrial
                     research  and  tests,  including  research  for  protection  against  weapons  and  for  law  enforcement  purposes  like  riot
                          5
                     control.

                   It is not just the size and chemical signatures of nanoparticles that makes them a planetary
               hazard,  it  is  their  unnatural  relationship  with  Nature.  Nanotechnology  is  about  taking  apart,
               reconstructing, and condensing Nature at a molecular level measuring 1/80,000th the diameter of
               a  human  hair.  Polystyrene  carboxylated  nanoparticles  are  in  food  additives  and  vitamins  (all
                                         6
               FDA-approved, of course).  “Nano-enabled products” span medicines, textiles, laundry detergent
               and fuel additives, dental fillings, food packaging, and skin care. A campfire naturally produces
               carbon nanotubes, but titanium dioxide (TiO ) added to processed foods, toothpaste, gum, paint,
                                                           2
               paper, plastic, etc., is not “natural” but engineered, which places corporations like Kraft, Nestle,
               Hershey, Campbell,  and  Unilever squarely in  the  nano-food  business. It  is  not  just  Monsanto
               GMOs that we need to research.
                   But  the  Food  and  Drug  Administration  (FDA)  views  nanos  as  fundamentally  no  different
               from  the  silver  or  titanium  they  come  from  and  so  allows  corporations  to  simply  label
               nanoparticles  as  “additives.”  The  truth  is  that  Nature  at  the  nanoscale  has  far  different
               properties.  Copper  becomes  transparent,  aluminum  explosive,  solids  liquid.  At  the  molecular
               level, the laws of physics and chemistry governing color, solubility, strength, reactivity, toxicity,
               etc. work differently and may represent a danger to the biosphere. More research is needed.
                   Both the Center for Food Safety and the Energy & Environment Legal Institute are suing the
               EPA for not protecting citizens or the environment from what boils down to military-industrial-
