Will PH be part of the U.S.'s missile defense system?
Will the Philippines form part of the U.S.'s missile defense system in Asia?According to a report on the Wall Street Journal, the Philippines may be used as a site for a powerful radar called the X-band. The third X-Band is meant to complete a radar arc that will allow the U.S. to keep track of missile launches from North Korea and from China.
An X-Band radar has been in place in northern Japan since 2006 and the Wall Street Journal report said Washington and Tokyo are already in talks to put up another one in southern Japan.
"Some U.S. defense officials have focused on the Philippines as the potential site for the third X-Band," the WSJ report said.
Another X-Band radar, a seaborne one docked in Pearl Harbor, was deployed to the Pacific to monitor North Korea's failed missile launch earlier this year.
The report follows a decision made by the U.S. to shift a majority of its warships to the Asia-Pacific region by 2020. It aims to bring 60 percent of its battle ships to the region.
The U.S. has military agreements with the Philippines, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, and Australia.

A hero in a tragedy
Masbate,
south Luzon (Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN) - It was a toss-up between
hitting a population center and the sea with the crippled aircraft
approaching the Masbate Airport.
Capt. Jessup Bahinting decided to head for the water instead, sparing
casualties on the ground but losing instead Interior Secretary Jesse
Robredo, his copilot and his own life as well, in the tragic crash of
the twin-engine Piper Seneca at 4:30pm on Saturday.Senior Insp. June Paolo Abrazado, the only survivor, recounted the harrowing moments before the aircraft fell off Masbate City in a three-page statement in Filipino, a copy of which was obtained by the Philippine Daily Inquirer Tuesday.
Robredo's body was retrieved from the sea on Tuesday morning. Bahinting and his Nepalese student copilot Kshitiz Chand's bodies have yet to be retrieved from the hull of the plane.
Abrazado, Robredo's police aide who clambered out of the aircraft
before it sank and was rescued later by fishermen, said that the pilot
was looking for the runway to make an emergency landing while the plane,
which already lost its right engine, was flying very low over the city."There's the runway! There's the runway!" Abrazado quoted Bahinting exclaiming as they approached the airport.
But the aircraft missed the runway, glided to the left and headed toward the residential area of Barangay (village) Ibingay, he said. It seemed to him that Bahinting avoided crashing into Ibingay, one of the most populous villages of the city.
Like bomb explosion
As the plane banked to the right, sparing the village, it wobbled, "nosed up and nosed down," and finally plunged into the sea, he said.
"The sound of the crash was indescribable. I can't explain it. But it was like the explosion of a bomb," he said. "My initial reaction was to hug Secretary Robredo," he said.
Abrazado said he lost consciousness after that.
"When I regained consciousness, seawater was already rushing into the plane and the right side of the plane appeared to have disintegrated," he said.
"But the door of the plane remained locked by a latch. There was a piece of wood that apparently pierced the glass pane of the plane. And the water kept rushing in," he said.
Nowhere in sight
Abrazado said he looked around but could not see Robredo.
"We were seated beside each other. I did not know if it was me or he who got displaced. I just reached for my seatbelt because seawater was flooding the inside of the plane. I saw light coming in and I tried to surface. I did not know which part of the plane the light was coming from. I was rattled. I was losing my mind. I tried many times to unfasten my seatbelt but it seemed I could not even move my hands. When I unbuckled it, I squeezed myself out from the plane. I had drank seawater mixed with gasoline and I became dizzy.
As he floated away, he saw the plane bobbing up, with its tail the only visible part above the water. The tail, he said, was perpendicular to the surface.
"Then I could not move my hands again. I was still wearing my shoes and pants. I said to myself that I would die because I could not even move my arms. I assumed that my arms were broken," he said.
Then he saw his bag floating. "I summoned all the physical strength I could to reach for the bag. My face was aching. My body was failing me. I grabbed the bag and it kept me afloat long enough until a fisherman came to rescue me."
Abrazado said for about 15 minutes he was shouting and calling for help while the bag he was holding on for dear life was also slowly sinking.
"When I was rescued by a fisherman, I looked back at the plane. I saw no one from the plane was following me. I could only see what looked like debris," he said.
He said he told the fisherman to rush him to the Masbate police office. But the fisherman told him that a rescue team was waiting.
Abrazado's nose was bleeding by then.
Danger signs
Before the crash, Abrazado had sensed there were problems with the plane.
"While we were still up in the air, the display panel that also displayed a directional map kept on flashing: 'aviation expires 18 or November 28 2010.' I can see from the panel a distance notification that said 20 to 26 miles. I don't know what the expiration message meant. I wanted to inform the secretary about it but I did not want him to worry. I just made the secretary laugh by saying that there were many cases when a plane was flying with only one engine functioning," he said.
"We were relieved when we saw the runway. Then when we were about to relax, we began to be aware of the problem," he said.
The aide said the plane began to swoop nose down when the pilot glided it to the right. "It was then that the pilot lost control of the plane.
"I wondered why the pilot chose to land in Masbate when he said we were returning to Cebu. In fact, I was able to reserve a plane ticket from Cebu to Manila."
'Check engine' warning
Abrazado said when the group took off from Cebu, Robredo was rushing to go home because the Naga Airport would not allow a plane to land if they left Cebu at 2pm. They would be diverted to Legazpi City.
"Secretary Robredo was able to talk to the one in charge of the Naga Airport tower, and he got a go signal," he said. "But we still took off at 3pm."
Abrazado said he noticed that the plane looked old but he said the pilot told them that it was in good condition.
"I noticed that the copilot looked like a trainee and that he was a foreigner," he said.
"After we took off from Cebu and while we were in the air, the display panel suddenly blinked and displayed: 'Check engine,'" he said.
"The pilot told us that there was a problem and they could not proceed to Naga. Then Secretary Robredo told the pilot to just return to Cebu."
"I felt the plane turn and I started coordinating with our staff in Cebu and asked them to book a Cebu-Manila ticket," he said. "Secretary Robredo was relieved that we were returning to Cebu but we noticed that the flight was taking longer than expected."
Then, Abrazado said, the right engine suddenly shut down and he and Robredo got worried.
Still, the plane was running well, he said, although the pilots were trying to restart the engine that malfunctioned. The copilot even had a very relaxed demeanor when he turned to them at the back, he said.
"We asked the pilot if we were nearing Cebu and we were informed that we would be making an emergency landing in Masbate Airport instead," Abrazado said.
He said he tried to coordinate with the Legazpi Airport staff to provide a chopper as Robredo had an urgent engagement in Naga.
"While I was doing that, the plane was flying very close to the surface of the sea and I thought the plane was just making a final approach to the runway. I said to myself, we can survive this. I said even when the plane makes a water landing, I can manage to bail out and save my boss," he said.
Abrazado failed to do that. He was knocked out when the plane crashed into the water and Robredo disappeared from his sight when he regained his senses.

does batman really ended in the dark knight rises?
Warning: Spoilers about the ending of "Dark Knight Rises" lie ahead!
Throughout Christopher Nolan's "Dark Knight" trilogy, one question consistently emerged: How long can Bruce Wayne keep suiting up as Batman?
In "The Dark Knight," Wayne memorably informed trusty butler Alfred that "Batman has no limits." Not the case for Bruce Wayne as a man, Alfred pointed out, to which Bruce replied, "Well, I can't afford to know them." In "The Dark Knight Rises," however, Wayne learned the hard way that both he and his elemental alter ego do have limits. No one can suffer the back-breaking pain of Bane and walk away consequence-free. And just as there's an end to what the Caped Crusader can accomplish, there's a line that Nolan as a storyteller refused to cross: killing Batman.
Though
many signs pointed to the ultimate demise of Bruce Wayne by the end of
"Rises," the hero survived and flew off with an unexpectedly happy
ending. But even though he lived to fight another day (come on, you really
think he'll stay retired?), Wayne certainly felt his fair share of pain
throughout the "Dark Knight" conclusion. And from actor Christian
Bale's perspective, that kind of reckoning was always coming his way.
"He's always been destined for some kind of a fall," the actor told MTV News. "We know that he's altruistic, we know his motives are born from genuine, sincere pain and a very understandable desire for revenge. We know he's attempting to turn that into something good, but we [also] know he has this monstrous personality inside of him. He's forsaken his life for that. Unless you make some serious changes, you know that something will befall him that's not going to be healthy.
Click here for the latest news on the tragedy in Aurora, Colorado.
"He's almost begging for a downward spiral," Bale continued. "He's begging for pain. He wants to have that pain inflicted upon him. It's something that's been a concern throughout all of these movies. That's expressed in a scene in 'Batman Begins' by Alfred, who is always the heart of these stories. 'And then what? And then what? How does this end?' "
Well, it doesn't end with the death of Batman, we know that much. Asked if there was any part of him that wanted to see Bruce die in the end, Bale smiled and said, "Not from an acting point of view. Not from any desire to never have to act again. I've enjoyed immensely playing the role."
Do
you think Batman should have died at the end of "Dark Knight Rises," or
are you happy he lived? Sound off in the comments section below!

Robin next after darknight rises
After seeing the I am still mesmerizing how epic it was., however its sad since it has to end. There are some confusion in the ending scene where Alfred(trusted person of the Wayne family) is Italy and he saw Selena Kyle and Bruce Wayne in the restaurant after the Batman was announced dead then people of Gotham comemorate him as a hero for what he has done to Gotham. Maybe what Chris Nolan tries to tell us that Batman the persona is dead but Bruce Wayne the man is alive and he will hang up the cowl and the cape permanently. We also saw the ending where Robin Blake enters the bat cave and does gives us a hint that Nolan may create another film which is Robin. Robin is known for many as a sidekick of Batman but he is a stand alone hero maybe Chris Nolan will be making the Robin film( I hope he does) and we may see Bruce Wayne again training Robin. Personally I hate reboots of the film which is great and made an Icon for me Bale is the best Batman and Nolan is a realist which makes the batman film even better. I hope to see Robin in the big screen and Nolan to direct it will be so awesome. I included you a video from you tube and this guy explains the end scene well and check out this costume concept for robin

Carabuena suspended from Philip Morris
Carabuena, the motorist who was caught on video hitting traffic enforcer Saturnino "Sonny" Fabros, has been suspended from work Thursday. On top of that, he might also just lose his driver's license.
Cigarette maker Philip Morris Fortune Tobacco Corp. (PMFTC) said it has suspended its executive, "pending the outcome of the investigation."
It noted, however, that Carabuena was "on his personal time and not on duty for the company at the time."
A video of Carabuena mauling traffic enforcer Saturnino Fabros has been spreading through social networking sites since Tuesday.
Fabros said he told Carabuena off for making a wrong turn near Tandang Sora in Quezon City.
"PMFTC reiterates that it does not condone inappropriate conduct by any of our employees," the company said.
The suspension came a day after a petition dubbed "Robert Blair Carabuena is Bad for your Corporate Health", which urges PMFTC to fire Carabuena, made rounds online.
"[Carabuena] has now also become the poster boy of Philip Morris International (PMI). His behavior is a disservice to the corporate image of PMI and the global goodwill it has earned all these years. We call on PMI to immediately act on this unforgivable incident and accordingly fire him," the petition said.
Meanwhile, MMDA already asked the Land Transportation Office (LTO) to revoke Carbuena's license, Yves Gonzales, head of the MMDA traffic disclipline office told Yahoo! Southeast Asia in a phone interview.
"MMDA Chairman Francis Tolentino has drafted a letter to LTO Assistant Secretary Virginia Santos, asking them to look into the case and if possible revoke the license," Gonzales said.
The LTO also confirmed that licenses may be revoked under certain grounds.
"Pwede po talagang i-revoke ang license, kung halimbawa gumamit ka ng sasakyan na ginamit sa krimen (Licenses may indeed be revoked, such as in cases when motorists use vehicles identified in criminal cases)," Daisy Jacobo, chief of LTO's traffic safety division.
Tolentino on Wednesday said "abusive and arrogant motorists like him (Carabuena), who obviously do not have serious regard to the rule of law, have no right to be in the road in the first place."

obama wants to see martians
President Barack Obama placed a congratulatory telephone call to the
NASA team behind the Mars "Curiosity" rover, joking he might go for a
Mohawk to emulate flight director Bobak Ferdowsi, and quipping that he
needed to be told "right away" if the probe finds any little green men.
"If, in fact, you do make contact with Martians, please let me know right away," he said in the call. "I've got a lot of other things on my plate, but I suspect that that will go to the top of the list. Even if they're just microbes, it will be pretty exciting."
Obama offered a personal shout-out to "special Mohawk Guy" (yes, the White House transcript capitalized "Guy"). "I, in the past, thought about getting a Mohawk myself, but my team keeps on discouraging me," Obama said. "And now that he's received marriage proposals and thousands of new Twitter followers, I think that I'm going to go back to my team and see if it makes sense."
"It does sound like NASA has come a long way from the white shirt, black dark-rimmed glasses and the pocket protectors," the president said. "You guys are a little cooler than you used to be."
On a more serious note, Obama congratulated the team on Curiosity's successful landing on the Red Planet a week ago and praised the technical skill required as "mind-boggling."
"What you've accomplished embodies the American spirit, and your passion and your commitment is making a difference," he said."
"'Curiosity' is going to be telling us things that we did not know before and laying the groundwork for an even more audacious undertaking in the future, and that's a human mission to the Red Planet," Obama said.
And he pledged his "personal commitment to protect" government investments in science and technology.
"If, in fact, you do make contact with Martians, please let me know right away," he said in the call. "I've got a lot of other things on my plate, but I suspect that that will go to the top of the list. Even if they're just microbes, it will be pretty exciting."

bourne legacy no.1 in canadian box office
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Action movie "The Bourne
Legacy," with new star Jeremy Renner, raced to the No. 1 spot on U.S.
and Canadian box office charts with an estimated $40.3 million in ticket
sales over the weekend.
New adult comedy "The Campaign" debuted in second
place, winning $27.4 million at domestic theaters. The two new movies
knocked three-time box office champion "The Dark Knight Rises" to third
place."Bourne Legacy" is the fourth movie in the spy franchise that previously starred Matt Damon and has grossed nearly $1 billion around the world. Damon played a CIA assassin with memory loss who tried to discover his true identity while evading the CIA's attempts to kill him.
Universal cast Renner in the new movie in an effort to reboot the series for future sequels. Renner plays agent Aaron Cross, who tries to escape his CIA pursuers with the help of genetic scientist Marta Shearing, played by Rachel Weisz.
Universal and privately held Relativity Media produced "Bourne Legacy" for about $125 million. Opening weekend sales beat Universal's projections for a $35 million debut.
Nikki Rocco, Universal Pictures' president of domestic distribution, said the film performed as expected, and that the studio was happy with its opening weekend.
"It's a validation, it's a successful rebooting of the franchise," she said, adding that it gives Universal an opportunity to continue the Bourne saga.
"The Bourne Legacy" nabbed $48.1 million worldwide over the weekend, bringing its global total to $88.4 million.
"The Campaign" also exceeded pre-weekend forecasts, which had the film debuting with around $20 million. The movie stars Will Ferrell and Zack Galifianakis as two candidates facing off against each other in a race for U.S. Congress.
Dan Fellman, president of theatrical distribution for Warner Bros., said the political comedy played especially well in Washington and Boston as the U.S. presidential campaign gets into full swing.
"We think that the real campaign will add to our 'Campaign'," he said.
"Dark Knight Rises," the final movie in a Batman trilogy starring Christian Bale, took in $19.5 million at North American (U.S. and Canadian) theaters over the weekend. The blockbuster has grossed over $390 million in the U.S. and Canada since its July 20 debut.
"Hope Springs," a new romantic comedy/drama, finished the weekend in the No. 4 spot with $15.6 million. The film stars Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones as an aging couple trying to bring a spark back to their marriage.
"Hope DOES spring," said Rory Bruer, president of distribution at Sony, who expects the film to continue to play well among older audiences.
In fifth place, family film "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days" earned $8.2 million during its second weekend in theaters.
Despite doing well overseas, science-fiction reboot "Total Recall" took in a meager $8.1 million its second weekend, taking a tumble from its tepid $26 million opening.
Comcast Corp's Universal Pictures released "Bourne Legacy." "The Dark Knight Rises" and "The Campaign" were distributed by Warner Bros., a unit of Time Warner Inc.. Sony Corp's film studio released "Hope Springs," and News Corp's 20th Century Fox studio distributed "Diary of a Wimpy Kid."
bourne producer says manila scene is the best

“Millions and millions of fans worldwide will be rocketed through San Andres, raced through the Pasay Metro Rail Station, careened down Magsaysay Boulevard, and stopped very quickly at the end of the ride in Navotas Fish Port,” he shared at the red carpet screening of the film last August 5 at the Newport Performing Arts Theater in Resorts World Manila.
Best of the franchise
Crowley, who produced all four “Bourne” movies, is proud of its latest installment, particularly the chase sequence filmed in the streets of Manila.
“The movie you’re about to see is being talked about as better than the first three, and the Manila chase as one of the best chases ever.”
He explained that the Philippine shoot required production people to bring an international team of action specialists, 30 containers of gear from Los Angeles, over 100 people from New York, Los Angeles, Vancouver, Paris and London; and hundreds of local technicians, drivers and assistants with some “with resumes that stretch back to “Apocalypse Now.”
Crowley also mentioned that for the film’s rooftop chase, they replaced 50 roofs in San Andres, Manila and spent a lot of time working with MMDA (Metropolitan Manila Development Authority) and other local officials in planning traffic diversions for the motorcycle chase.
Asian premiere
The August 5 screening is three days ahead of the film’s release in Manila on August 8 and five days in advance of the US premiere. Crowley explained that the special screening is the production’s way of paying Manila back.
“We felt an obligation to pay back to the people who let us have control of the city for two months. We created huge traffic jams and all of the problems that come from making a good movie,” he said.
Crowley added that this is the only special screening in one of the countries the latest “Bourne” installment was shot in. It is also the film’s Asian premiere.
Will they make more movies in the Philippines after “Bourne”?
“If there is a script that happens to be set in the Philippines or a script that is set somewhere else and would be easier, better to do in the Philippines then we would suggest it, because we really did have a successful experience here,” Crowley replied.

________________________________________________________________________________
personally I have not gone to see the movie myself but I think the movie is good. Rener is a good actor and they had the excellent choice in Rachel Weiz as the partner for Rener. Judging from the trailes it looks really good looks like there will be a lot of going on in the movie which is kind of my taste for an action movie. Anyways here's some reviews from rottentomatoes.com for some ideas what you will be seeing in the movie but I may warn you there are some spoilers here so ready yourself for that.

CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER updates
Anthony Russo spoke a bit about his take on the character and the tone of the film in the midst of the Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour.
Take a look at the excerpts from the conversation below.
I think Chris Evans is good at comedy, especially dry comedy, but Captain America as a guy -- what I love about him is that there's kind of a nobility, a heroic quality to him. With the comedic sensibilities you and your brother have, is that going to be part of it, I guess? Is that part of the conception process and the scripting process?
It definitely is. I mean, we're trying to grow him as a character, and certainly he's come a long way, from where he started in pre-World War 2 to where he is in modern-day America. So the character has room for growth because of that huge journey that he's been on, Number 1. Number 2, part of the appeal of these movies is the ensemble. Captain America isn't the only character in the film, there are other characters that are perhaps lighter in nature.
Bucky, perhaps?
Yeah, exactly.
You're going with an existing story for "Captain America," right?
In a way. I mean, they're all sort of rooted in what's come before, but they're all also their own jumping-off point as well.
How did you sell yourselves [to get the job for] "Captain America"?
We were comic book geeks from a young age and big fantasy geeks. We got to talk to them in detail about that history. They knew that we understood the brand really well and the characters really well. It was a long process, actually, of talking to them over and over again, through a series of meetings over a long period of time. And I think they just -- we were really passionate about the movie, incredibly passionate about the movie. They felt that, and they felt like it was the right match.
What did you love about [Ed] Brubaker's "Winter Soldier" [comic-book] story that made you say, "Oh yeah, I know what we can do with this"?
Well, we like the [story]. I can't talk too much about specifics, that's the way Marvel handles things. I can say in general that there's sort of a darker, edgier sensibility at work there that we found appealing, and that is going find its way into Captain [America] in the modern day.
Where are you at in terms of production? Are you in active pre-production? Do you have a production start date?
We have a release date, April 2014. We are going to go into production early next year.
"Captain America: The Winter Soldier" opens in AMC Theatres on April 4, 2014.

Protoype trailer
is the PHILIPPINES under attack by China's HAARP?
I was listening to PAGASA weathermen reporting the other day, and he seems to be out of words to explain the unusual weather condition. He confirmed though that we are still very much in the summer season; however, he gave no valid explanation where was these rain coming from. I look at the 3D model of the past days weather activities and it's illogical to find a singular mass of dark cloud in the midst of calm topography.
Could this be a HAARP attack from China? After learning that China along with 3 other countries (USA, Israel, and Germany) have this type of geo-engineering technology; it made me suspicious of our weather condition. After all we have this recent tension with China over there at West Philippines sea.
Maybe most of you is asking what is a HAARP? Basically, it is a weather altering devise (cloud engineering) and although it has been denied many times of its possibility to be used as a weapon...many theorist think otherwise. Just think about this: is it possible, for a super powerful laser to super heat the ocean, create a huge evaporation that will gather enormous amount of water that will turn the clouds dark in a particular area? Or add some toxic chemicals into the clouds, oh well simply to poison the people you want exterminated?
The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) is anionospheric research program jointly funded by the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Navy, the University of Alaska, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).[1]Built by BAE Advanced Technologies (BAEAT), its purpose is to analyze the ionosphere and investigate the potential for developing ionospheric enhancement technology for radio communications and surveillance.[2] The HAARP program operates a major sub-arctic facility, named the HAARP Research Station, on an Air Force–owned site near Gakona, Alaska.The most prominent instrument at the HAARP Station is the Ionospheric Research Instrument (IRI), a high-power radio frequency transmitter facility operating in the high frequency (HF) band. The IRI is used to temporarily excite a limited area of the ionosphere. Other instruments, such as a VHF and a UHFradar, a fluxgate magnetometer, a digisonde, and an induction magnetometer, are used to study the physical processes that occur in the excited region.Work on the HAARP Station began in 1993. The current working IRI was completed in 2007, and its prime contractor was BAE Systems Advanced Technologies.[1] As of 2008, HAARP had incurred around $250 million in tax-funded construction and operating costs.HAARP has been blamed by conspiracy theorists for a range of events, including numerous natural disasters. Various scientists have commented that HAARP is an attractive target for conspiracy theorists because according to computer scientist David Naiditch, "its purpose seems deeply mysterious to the scientifically uninformed".[3]
MORE THAN JUST TYPHOON
Aside from HAARP's undeniable capabilities to alter the weather, it was also blamed for other major earthquake and tsunami. How it was done was quite complex but the simplest explanation I can come up is the principle of domino effect. Hurt one part of the environment and the rest will follow.
Before the devastating Japan tsunami, eye witnesses had recorded Chemtrail (chemical trail spraying) or cloud formations that was commonly link to HAARP activities...so was it a man-made tsunami? There are also reports of seeing persistent chemtrail before the huge Haiti earthquake. (see video for proof)
Evidence of Chemtrail. Aside from supper heating the ocean or playing with the Earth's ionosphere...there are also harmful chemical sprayed to clouds
In an article, A Sylph Encounter (April 2012), I made a promise to share what is a chemtrail, well maybe it's about time to talk further on this subject. The strange Philippine weather reminded me of that promise as a blessing in disguise?
CHEMTRAIL
First, as I've pointed out before, Sylphs are spiritual creatures appearing in cloud form while Chemtrail is man-made strange cloud formation which appear as a result of aerosol spraying or HAARP activities. The distinction is quite easy if you become more aware to this phenomenon. Take note, the chemical content of this spraying is very very harmful to us and our environment.
For the uninformed on what is a chemtrail, they would probably think that it was just natural jet plane exhaust, and I don't blame you if you believed that propaganda; I was made to believe that lie too before. But after actually observing a jet-plane cruising across the sky, I have not witness a horizon to horizon trace mark similar to the trail chemical spraying leaves...plus the aftermath of chemtrail seems to instantly affect cloud formation if you wait to observe and unlike jet-trails that easily disperse, chemtrail stays for hours and they even spread. I'll be showing you images of Chem-trail activities to further illustrate...
Wait! A point of attention that I must share with urgency. An anonymous source shares that it does not only affect Global warming but also is Creating a blockage in the brain of the interaction of various amino acids that relate to higher consciousness and the increase of dopamine in the brain producing a listless, euphoric state of lower, reactive mind.
Although I haven't thoroughly examined the possibilities of the above report, I feel that it must be shared as precaution...however, I don't know how to physically deter this attack, as I am still researching on this matter but I know one sure method that never fails...and that is prayers. Continue praying to God that we may all pass the test of tribulation. Always trust in the name of Jesus Christ.
CHEMBUSTERS
The good news however is that, recent chemtrail watchers had discover that there are growing number of chembusters appearing to stop the genocidal aerosol spraying in our atmosphere. Among these chemtrail busters are Sylphs who literally do battle with these clouds. I also heard concern organizations setting up chemical altering devises, which I will share sometime later, again, if God allows.
Additional Info:
Geo-engineering refer to large-scale technological proposals to fix global warming or climatic changes by altering the condition of our oceans, clouds, weather, and atmosphere using latest technologies. The danger about this technology is; it is not generally accepted by the Scientific community.
Examples of geoengineering schemes is Ocean Fertilization or dumping nutrients into the seas to grow algal blooms, however the biochar that it produces deliberately pollute the upper atmosphere with sulphur and aluminum properties that reflect the sun ray. The result is also called white clouds or stratospheric aerosols

Kristen Stewart's reason for Cheating on Pattinson
Kristen Stewart reportedly admitted that she was prompted to cheat due to “her own insecurities”.
The
actress recently publicly apologised for cheating on her beau Robert
Pattinson with her Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders.Robert has several friendships with gorgeous high-profile celebrities such as singer Katy Perry and his Remember Me co-star Emilie de Ravin.
Kristen is said to have been extremely jealous of his tightknit relationships with other women.
“Kristen’s admitted her own insecurities may have pushed her to cheat,” a source told the US edition of OK! magazine.
Robert is struggling with his own anxieties, as the actor is reportedly awake at night wondering if Kristen made other transgressions during their relationship.
“He totally trusted her, so this has really rocked his world,” the insider explained. “Rob’s now started to question everything. He’s looking back at all of the other men in her life and wondering who she might have been with.
“She swore Rupert was her only mistake, but Rob just doesn’t believe her. He’s going nuts trying to come to terms with all this.”

Olympic Duel-Bolt vs Blake
The
countdown towards what is being hyped as the fastest race in history
begins on Friday as the Olympic athletics gets under way with all eyes
on the prospect of a thrilling 100m shootout.
For the first time since the advent of electronic timing, the field
for the blue riband event of the Games will comprise the four fastest
men in history -- champion Usain Bolt, Yohan Blake, Asafa Powell and
Tyson Gay.Bolt rewrote the record books at the 2008 Beijing Games with a dazzling sprint double that turned logic on its head and forced a recalibration of what had previously been thought humanly possible.
The good news for the London organisers is that the ebullient 25-year-old is back, professing himself ready to mount a successful defence of his 100m and 200m titles from four years ago in his bid to "become a legend".
"I am the Olympic champion and I have to show the world I am the best," Bolt said on the eve of the Games.
The even better news is that he will have a titanic battle on his hands, the first chinks in his armour revealed when he was beaten in both the 100 and 200m in the Jamaican Olympic trials by training partner Blake.
Blake, crowned world champion in Daegu last year after Bolt sensationally false started in the final, is a serious gold medal contender.
"My philosophy is that the sky's the limit," Blake said. "I've always wanted to be at the Olympics. It's everyone's dream.
"I've got no message for Usain Bolt. He's a good guy. I'm not focusing on Usain."
Other rivals in the 100m will likely be another Jamaican, Powell and the Americans, Gay and Justin Gatlin.
Gatlin won the 100m title in Athens in 2004 but was barred from defending his title in Beijing after he was banned for doping offences.
Gay, who has committed to racing just the 100m in London, has made a slow start to the season, but came through the US trials alongside Gatlin, and said he was ready for the challenge after an injury-plagued period.
"It's a lot of pressure, I'm not going to lie. The missing piece in my heart is an Olympic medal," said Gay, who will turn 30 four days after the 100m final on Sunday.
"It's really special to come here and compete for a medal. I came up short in 2008.
"Now I'm fully focused on these Games, and not my age or 2016, to leave with a medal."
But athletics is not all about one man and his roadshow, although meeting organisers and the general public may beg to differ.
Track and field will run from Friday through until August 12, the last 10 days of the Games, at the newly-built Olympic Stadium, with an estimated 2,000 athletes competing in 47 events.
The men will compete in 24 events and the women in 23, with the latter's schedule lacking the gruelling 50km race walk.
The US team suffered one of its worst showings in Olympics history but still finished atop the gold medal standings in Beijing thanks to its men's 4x400m relay squad winning the penultimate race of the competition.
The Americans finished with seven golds, nine silvers and seven bronzes for a total of 23. Russia came second with 18 medals (six gold, five silver, seven bronze and Jamaica third with six golds, three silvers and two bronzes.
Kenya bumped up their medal count to 14 (5-5-4) with gold medal-winning performances in the men's 800m and women's 1500m, and the late Samuel Wanjiru claiming the men's marathon title.
The US team, always happy to have their sport centre stage every four years, will again be major contenders, with incredible strength in depth in the sprints and hurdles.
On the track it remains to be seen how the Ethiopian duo of Kenenisa Bekele and Tirunesh Dibaba shape up against a formidable-looking Kenyan middle and long-distance team led by 800m world record holder David Rudisha.
The two multi-medal-winning long-distance runners claimed the men and women's 5000m and 10,000m doubles within a day of each other.
But Bekele is battling to regain his form after a two-year-long battle with an achilles tendon problem, and has so far looked off the pace.
