Circles within circles around the Taliban
Posted by seumasach on January 27, 2010
In an extraordinary interview timed for the London Conference, the commander of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) forces in Afghanistan, General Stanley McChrystal, said: “As a soldier, my personal feeling is that there’s been enough fighting.”

Ulrich Warnke has drawn attention to the role of EM radiation in disorientating bees (CCD). In particular, he has drawn attention to the role of HAARP as a major source of such radiation. Is the fact that the role of EM radiation in CCD is a taboo issue, indeed, virtually a national security issue related to this and do we face a “perfect storm” , the degradation of species, including humans, environment and planet through the utilisation of this technology for both communications and war?
