Greens appeal to working people who are exploited by capitalism and live without economic security. The Greens appeal to the most oppressed and marginalized sectors of society-to racially oppressed minorities, to immigrants, to sexual minorities."

"The Greens appeal to feminists who want to end once and for all the age-old subordination of women."

"These groups-concerned citizens, exploited workers, oppressed minorities, feminists-constitute a majority of society. The challenge for the Greens is to bring them together in a majoritarian coalition." This is what the Green Agenda is and in their own words.

Why would the Greens attempt to discredit the United States military? "The Greens understand that in a world of global corporations operating in global markets where US military forces will intervene to maintain corporate rule, no country, let alone any local jurisdiction, can long survive as a democratic island in a sea corporate dictatorship. The Greens are by necessity an international movement that coordinates its actions, develops common demands, and acts in solidarity to create a democratic globalization from below to replace today's corporate globalization from above."

MORE: "Greens support civil disobedience wholeheartedly when it is an effective tactic to advance the movements toward their goals."

Evolution Of The Controversy

Part I
The Whispers
1/5/2000

The earliest I can find reference to the idea that contrails are other than normal is from Bill Brumbaugh, an evangelist now based in Bozeman, Montana, who hosts "The Proactive Newshour", formerly on several now-defunct shortwave networks and currently on Libertyworks radio.com internet and on satellite audio feed.

According to information supplied by Brumbaugh to me, and confirmed by an associate of his, "Rick Flores", Brumbaugh developed concern that Ethylene Dibromide was present in jet fuel and was being burned, not sprayed, causing harmful pollution which was hazardous to health. He appears to have originated the idea sometime in 1995, based on his own comments and those of "Flores" that
were sent to me via email:

Excerpt from message of 10/6/99 from "Rick Flores" to
Bill Brumbaugh(cc'd to Jay Reynolds)-

"You remember several years ago when I actually took the time out to obtain
the fuel samples because I too was curious as to the validity of the "JP8,"
"Contrail" stories that you initiated in Southern California. Being a commercial pilot I was able to verify first hand some of the information you were using for your stories on Contrails. "

Excerpt from a message of 3/31/99 from Bill Brumbaugh to Jay Reynolds-

"I am aware that we have been receiving record amounts of photons in the last few months, but that does not reach back to 1995 when according to pilots I have spoken with, changes were made in the jet fuel composition. At the same time in 1995, I was advised that refueling teams in hangars were then under law, required to wear full body protective gear while refueling."

The pilot Brumbaugh refers to is "Flores", and Brumbaugh has refused to cite any documentary evidence that any such "law" has required such precautions. Current military concerns over JP-8 jet fuel are mainly based on their benzene content. Benzene, a carcinogen, is a natural component, in small amounts, of crude oil and almost all petroleum based fuels including gasoline.

The change from JP-4 to JP-8 jet fuel by the military was to use a less flammable, and thus less hazardous fuel. Ethylene Dibromide has never been a constituent of jet fuels at all, it was used in all gasoline products when tetraethyl lead was included in the formulation of "leaded gasoline" to prevent preignition or "cylinder knocking" EDB was used for the purpose of passing the lead through combustion to prevent lead deposition on engine combustion section parts such as valves and sparkplugs.

Since "knocking" was never a problem of jet engines, EDB was never needed. Some news reports have erroneously attributed soil contamination by EDB , such as at the Massachusetts Military Reservation, to jet fuel spillage when in fact the source of the EDB was spillage of aviation gasoline, probably from before the advent of the military's transition to jet aircraft.

My exchanges with Brumbaugh and "Flores" were instructive because these two cannot seem to keep their stories straight, from which some valuable conclusions can be drawn.
