Raytheon, the MITRE Corporation, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the Department of Energy, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and countless others consisting of just about every famous scientific institution in the Western world are hereby implicated in the development and execution of the largest scientific effort in Human history. Probably over a trillion dollars has been spent. Hundreds of applicable patents have been filed. Thousands of papers have been published. It's called the New Manhattan Project and just like the original Manhattan Project, you're not supposed to know about it. We all paid for it, but we also paid for a gigantic disinformation campaign designed to keep us as mushrooms; in the dark and covered in manure. Please read "Chemtrails Exposed" and learn about where the New Manhattan Project comes from, who put it together and who is doing it today. No other single book gives you the detailed history and current state of this Project like "Chemtrails Exposed." "Chemtrails Exposed" is light on the science and heavy on the information enquiring minds want to know; the who, what, when, where, why, and how. It's heavy on presenting well-organized information from the best sources in an easy to read and understand fashion. It's not Earth's climatological temperature fluctuations which threaten Man's existence here on this planet. Man's existence is threatened by mad scientists and corrupt governments conducting reckless experiments while claiming that the guinea pigs are to blame. This book serves as a preliminary investigation into violations which should result in the largest class-action lawsuit in history. I suggest that you read and understand just exactly what it is that they have been up to. The arrogance of the establishment is killing us and our planet. The information detailed here can help stop it and remediate it.
