Chemtrails - JP8 Tungsten

Jet Fuel - Leukemia Clusters

From George Holden

Bingo ! This is becoming obvious to all of us who have done our

homework over the last several years. Here's an opportunity to chip away at

part of the jet-aerosol chaff operations via concerned citizens coalitions

that are working against Leukemia clusters globally+gulf war vets. There's a

growing constituency within these groups mounting globally. Now's the time

more than ever to network with the Leukemia+Gulf War groups and concerned

citizens abroad if you create the time. This is may be our last chance. Yes,

the aerosols tie in with DARPA and biologicals.......taggant weapons.....

 

I contacted Dee Lewis, activist grassroots organizer of C.R.I.

(Citizens Response Initiative), a resident leading grass-roots investigation

of the Calvine-Florin area's cancer incidence via JP8-tungsten. Lewis is

leading a grass-roots community effort to find the reasons behind a spate of

leukemia and lymphoma cases in and around her subdivision just north of Elk

Grove, CA. Driven by a sense that something is amiss in the local

environment, Lewis has not accepted " random occurrence " as an answer. After

the Sacramento Bee article came out last weekend I decided it was time to

contact her. She lives about 20 minutes away from me and we're meeting this

Saturday for the first time.

 

There's a small airport (Sacramento Executive Airport) due south ,

approx about 5 miles of where Hope and I live and just slightly southwest 3

miles of where the Leukemia clusters are in Dee Lewis' neighborhood.

 

I have seen KC-135 and KC 150 tanker planes come from this direction

directly overhead north since 1999 (actual ops 1996), spraying aerosol chaff

cloud shielding that lingered for hours. My thoughts? These jets are dumping

fuel near landing at the airports around these homes. There's no JP8 fuel

lines running through the Elk Grove neighborhood. Tungsten has been found in

tree samples near the Leukemia clusters.What else? Spraying on our

children,animals, farm crops and water? Tungsten was not found in the

earlier tree ring samples as mentioned in the URL below until recently.

There was a note below:

 

Tungsten is used to harden turbine blades in jet engines, Aluminum

Oxide is an abrasive. If Aluminum Oxide was being directly injected into jet

engines. NOTE: aluminum, oxides are confirmed in use within numerous govt

documents on aerosol chaf ops.ie

greenhouse gases. In addition, it is estimated that the U.S. Armed

Forces dispense about

500 tons of aluminum chaff per year (USAF 2001), with most (but not

all) aluminum chaff

being released during training exercises within the continental

United States (conservative)

Is there any tie in with testing the new MOAB Daisy Cutter here?

We know that aluminum oxides,thorium,barium,nickel are in the mix.

of these cloud aerosols....Tungsten is relatively new. Perhaps with the grit

plumes affecting the turbine engine blades and jack screws and all the

downed planes last 2 years is one of the reasons for tungsten. Tungsten is

not a natural occuring substance in the trees tested. Just think we are

breathing these particulates.

 

The article below is from the link that Kim sent. Thanks Kimmers!

(ED NOTE: You're welcome, George!) Please read the entire article and source

links below URL. I have an archive of all the Bee articles.+Dr.Len Horowitz

also sent confirmation of EDB being used-sprayed over his home in Idaho.

More on that later....

 

Leuren,you worked on the Fallon issue with residents there ,What

else do you have? Dee confirmed JP8 was used extensively in the gulf war

from her sources. Many people sick as you know. We have all known about JP8

and Gulf War Syndrome via DU,JP8 chaff aerosols. Doug your thoughts? You

mentioned 'Operation Chad' when we met in Davis last November. Looks like

that was a weather mod op? What else do you have? any docs? Please send

any resources re back, Thanks.

 

Quick note by Mike Castle re: these elements/aerosols (CERA):

 

" Barium, the element is not radioactive unless compounded with a

known radioactive isotope....remember, Barium is opaque to gamma radiation,

barium silicate/sulfate or barytes, used in the coatings materials " inside "

nuclear power plant domes...why? Shielding capability to be opaque to

radiation and/or reflects (not absorbed). Works the same way with

electromagnetic radiation...like,microwaves, ELF etc.......

 

Thorium on the other side of the training session,tonight... thorium

IS radioactive at the magnitude of order of 2% of its mass. Thorium oxide

has the exact same properties. Now, Thorium IS the material identified by

Welbach Refractory Agents used/patented by HughesAircraft Corp. that

" reflects " and absorbs low emmissitivity wave length IR back into

Space,causitive (I doubt it) global cooling...That is a major portion of the

stuff they spray into the high altitude Stratosphere up around Canada and

THE WEST COAST US. You guys get hammered with this kinda ChemTrails.

 

UV summers anyone?

(02/23/2003) Study links high levels of tungsten to childhood

leukemia clusters in Nevada, Arizona and California; two of the clusters

also share proximity to military bases and pipelines carrying a highly toxic

jet fuel.

 

(06/13/2001) A U.S. senator has demanded that the U.S. Navy hand

over documents that could reveal if a link exists between a kerosene-rich

fuel called JP-8 or Jet A and a cluster of 14 childhood leukemia cases near

a naval airbase in Nevada.

 

The military plans to universally use the JP-8 fuel until at least

2025 in everything from jets to trucks to camp stoves and it is estimated

that 60 billion gallons are used worldwide each year. Most military and

commercial jets use JP-8, but concerns about its health risks have mounted

since it was introduced to U.S. airbases in the 1990s after trials in

Britain in the 1980s.. The Air Force was the first service to use JP-8 and

airmen began noticing health problems soon after, according to articles in

the Air Force Times.. Ed Note:( Owning the weather by 2025, there's that

magic number again... " Full Spectrum Dominance " - this is part of the space

weapons program as in HR 2799 The Space Preservation Act of 2001 sec 7b)

 

The low volatility of JP-8 means it stays on skin and clothes longer

than other fuels. Workers have complained of smelling and tasting JP-8 for

many hours after exposure. Headaches, dizziness and light-headedness are

common side effects, according to Air Force reports. In 1993, the Nevada Air

National Guard members in Reno reported upper respiratory and skin

irritations, according to a 1994 Air Guard report.

 

Because of its higher flash point, JP-8 does not fully combust in

jet engines and more of it comes out of the back of the aircraft than when

other fuels are used. Animal tests have shown that it can cause lung, kidney

and liver damage, and is highly toxic to the immune system. At least three

laboratory studies have linked the fuel to DNA damage. Last year, Congress

authorized $5 million for a study of the fuel at six Air Force bases and the

Pentagon has even commissioned studies to determine whether JP-8 exposure

contributed to Gulf War syndrome.

 

In 1993, the Fallon Naval Air Station adopted JP-8 and the fuel

began running through the 6-inch pipe from Sparks to Fallon.. The air

station uses about 34 million gallons per year. Dr. Gary Ridenour, a Fallon

internist, said he began seeing Fallon workers with skin and respiratory

problems in 1994. He said he attributed the health problems to the new jet

fuel and began researching JP-8 studies. He said because the fuel evaporates

so slowly, workers can bring it home on their clothing. He said fuel from

jet exhausts and fuel-dumping also reach the ground.

 

" There are more and more reports that make the use of this fuel

highly questionable, " Ridenour said. " There are no medical articles to

support the use of JP-8. The fuel may not be the cause of the leukemias, but

it may be linked to the cluster, and health concerns about JP-8 warrant

inspection of the entire fuel pipeline and exhaustive exposure studies at

the base and in the town. " ED Note: (oxymoron or moron-oxy?)

 

Harry Reid, a senator for Nevada, has filed formal requests to the

Navy, the federal Office of Pipeline Safety, and pipeline company Kinder

Morgan to disclose records related to JP-8 leaks and spills around the

airbase in Fallon, Nevada. " When we talk about causes of the leukemia

cluster, jet fuel is the number one thing mentioned, " says Reid.

 

JP-8 consists of a complex mixture of hydrocarbons, including

polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and benzene, a known carcinogen. Its low

freezing point means it can be used in all climates. The Pentagon views JP-8

as a " universal battlefield fuel " for NATO, capable of powering trucks,

tanks and even infantry stoves as well as planes.

 

But military personnel and people living near airbases can be

exposed to a superfine mist, or aerosol, of unburnt JP-8 produced as a

plane's engines warm up before and during takeoff. In breath tests for PAHs,

all airbase personnel studied have tested positive for JP-8 exposure. Animal

studies have shown that inhaling JP-8 increases lung permeability and can

damage the DNA of lung and liver cells - and thus potentially cause cancer.

 

Research has also shown that it is extremely toxic to the immune

system. Mark Witten, a toxicologist at the University of Arizona, Tucson,

whose work is funded by the U.S. Air Force, was astounded by what JP-8 does

to mice that inhale it. " It's just wrecking their immune systems, " he says.

" I've never seen a chemical that can so completely wipe out an animal's

defences. "

 

Part of the problem with JP-8 is that it doesn't readily evaporate,

so it's more likely to soak into the skin and lungs. What's more, there's

some evidence that the performance-enhancing additives in the fuel disrupt

the molecular arrangement of the outermost layer of skin, poking holes in

the body's main barrier against alien chemicals.

 

Even after brief exposure, the number of immune T-cells in mice

plummet and their thymus (where immune cells mature) shrinks, while B cells

proliferate.. So severe and sustained are the effects that Witten and his

colleague, David Harris, also at the University of Arizona, worry that

repeated exposure could increase the risk of autoimmune diseases and cancer,

especially in the presence of other risk factors such as pesticides.

 

Witten has exposed rodents to aerosols of JP-8-containing droplets

between 1.5 and 1.8 micrometres across - similar to those created by jet

engines. Even a single, hour-long exposure to an aerosol containing 50

milligrams of JP-8 per cubic metre increased lung permeability in mice and

caused the loss of cilia, the hair-like projections that waft dirt out of

bronchial tubes. " This will allow dust, pollen and other stuff in the lungs

to set up a chronic inflammatory state, " says Witten.

 

Witten is now studying whether JP-8 causes breaks in DNA strands in

the animals' bone marrow cells, potentially triggering leukaemia. It's

already known that the children of parents who are exposed to hydrocarbons

at work have a greater risk of developing acute lymphoblastic leukaemia -

the type of childhood leukemia in 13 of the 14 confirmed cases in Fallon.

 

" ItÕs too early to state that JP-8 is involved, but there is a

leukemia and immune-deficiency disease cluster at a Coast Guard base in San

Diego right at the end of a runway used by military planes and (civilian)

aircraft using Jet A fuel, which is similar to JP-8, " says Witten. He said

Italian troops who used JP-8 in Bosnia also reported a cluster of leukemia

cases. Ed Note: (What's too early at this point in assessing the

that JP8 is indeed part of the issue and problem. How many more

lives will it take after " the study is completed? " )

 

Witten said if the fuel turns out to be the cause of the leukemia

cases in Fallon, other residential areas near military bases and some

civilian runways should experience the same problems. " San Diego, Bosnia and

Fallon, the common denominator is JP-8. ... My nightmare scenario is that

there are fifty other clusters like Fallon out there, " he says.

 

Other researchers are studying the effects of repeated exposure to

JP-8. Carol Baldwin of the University of Arizona exposed five rats to

aerosols containing 1,000 milligrams of JP-8 per cubic metre over five

weeks. Each week, they breathed the aerosol for an hour a day on five

separate days. Finally, for an hour a day on three further days they

breathed an aerosol containing 2,500 milligrams of fuel per cubic metre. The

rats became hyperactive. In trials lasting three minutes, they reared onto

their hind legs an average of 17 times - more than twice as often as animals

that had not breathed JP-8.

 

In addition, the animals had previously learnt the location of a

platform submerged in a tank of water, but after exposure to JP-8, they had

forgotten where to find it. However, they could learn new tasks, which

suggests that the fuel had specific effects on memory - perhaps by

interfering with a brain region called the hippocampus.

 

Meanwhile, Steven Kornguth of the University of Wisconsin, Madison,

has exposed mice to aerosols containing 1,000 or 2,500 milligrams of JP-8

per cubic metre for an hour a day over one week. Compared to control

animals, their retinas and cerebellums contained up to five times as much

glutathione S-transferase, an enzyme that detoxifies many harmful

substances. This raises the possibility that JP-8 could disrupt vision and

proprioception - the sense of where one's body is in space.

 

Short-term exposure to the fuel also causes rashes, respiratory and

skin problems. " I went up to a Montana Air Guard base in Great Falls and the

workers and mechanics who had contact with the fuel had hands like crabs, "

Witten said.

 

David Leith, an environmental engineer at the University of North

Carolina School of Public Health in Chapel Hill, is developing instruments

to measure the density of JP-8 aerosols. In a trial in Alaska, the plume

created by a jet exceeded 200 milligrams per cubic metre of JP-8 - the

maximum his device could register.

 

The effects of exposure to aerosols and spills on children and

pregnant women have yet to be studied. But when pregnant mice are exposed,

Harris recently discovered, up to 70 percent of offspring die and surviving

pups have abnormal white blood cells.

 

Although the U.S. Navy vigorously denies that JP-8 poses any risk,

leukaemia experts such as Peter Domer of the University of Chicago agree

that Witten's concerns are well founded. Hydrocarbons in JP-8 such as

naphthalene and benzene are capable of causing the sorts of genetic damage

seen in childhood leukaemia, Domer says. [sources]

JP 8 Tungsten Leukemia military cluster doc.

 

(02/23/2003) Study links high levels of tungsten to childhood

leukemia clusters in Nevada, Arizona and California; two of the clusters

also share proximity to military bases and pipelines carrying a highly toxic

jet fuel. (JP 8)

 

Laboratory testing in a south Sacramento County neighborhood haunted

by fears of a leukemia cluster found no trace of cancer-causing contaminants

in the tap water but did find unexpectedly high levels of tungsten in area

trees. Tungsten, a metal used in hardening tools ( jet turbine blades) and

military ammunition, has recently drawn the attention of federal researchers

investigating two childhood leukemia clusters in Fallon, Nevada and Sierra

Vista, Arizona. (and now Elk Grove California, and Kansas)

 

25 PAGES of documentation here>

http://eces..org/earth_crash/showarticle.php?id=291

 

This report ties together many other reports into one full document,

Tungsten is used to harden turbine blades in jet engines, Aluminum Oxide is

an abrasive. If Aluminum Oxide was being directly injected into jet engines

as some have claimed, well you get my drift (their drift actually)

 

This one is worth printing as a complete source on these military

leukemia clusters.
