The City Edition
Chemtrail or contrail? Either way, it's just another dry day over Northern California.
According to two documentary films, What in the World are They Spraying? and Why in the World are They Spraying?,
chemtrails are part of an undisclosed mission of the U.S. Air Force to
create drought in some states, flooding and powerful storms in others.
Here's the inside story behind the aluminum oxide aerosol sprayings,
including an explanation about why they're so prevalent over
California, and what you can do to protect yourself from contamination.. Note: ChemtrailSafety.com is a new website presented as a public service by The City Edition.

From the article: By the time the scientific expedition first reached the whales in June they soon found 305 bodies and 32 skeletons of the sei whales - a protected species.

The Chilean government has already ordered an investigation in the mass beaching. This article links to The Express (UK).

Greece Is a Crime Scene, and Vulture Funds Are to Blame - An Interview with Greg Palast
This article by Michael Nevradakis links to TruthOut.org.
Investigative reporter and bestselling author Greg Palast discusses the results of his investigation into the actions of so-called vulture funds and their role in the destruction of the Greek economy. According to Palast, "I've been investigating the causes of Greece's collapse; it's a crime scene; it's not something that was a matter of Greeks living beyond their means or being lazy, olive pit-spewing slackers, as the Germans would have it. In fact, I actually looked it up: The average Greek worker works 400 hours more a year than the average German worker."

The experimental Ebola drug ZMapp is the product of a "convoluted convergence of U.S. and Canadian federal agencies and industrial partners that's typical for treatments of potential value against biowarfare and bioterrorism," according to this 8/5/14 article in Forbes. "The U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) has been a critical driver of much of this work as they maintain biosafety level-4 facilities in Frederick, Maryland, and have extensive expertise with non-human primates as a model for human infectious diseases." The research and development of ZMapp and related drugs described here calls to mind Leonard Horowitz's 1996 book, Emerging Viruses: AIDS and Ebola - Nature, Accident or Intentional. (A video broadcast with Dr. Horowitz took place in August.) For more background, see also The City Edition's 2006 article about Liberia and President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, "Sometimes You Win."
