This article was sent to me, and I am asking people who are qualified to
have and opinion to check it out.  So far I have received a reply from by
biochemist brother which is pasted on below.  It sounds hard to believe, but
AAAS is a long time well respected organization for many years.

What Are They Spraying Us With? - Pt II 
Could Aluminum, Barium and Other Substances From Stratospheric Aerosol
Geo-Engineering Programs be Destroying Eco-Systems around the World?
By Michael J. Murphy

What would you do if you were told that toxic substances being sprayed into
the sky are falling to the ground and decimating eco-systems around the
world?   This very claim, made by concerned citizens outside the American
Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) meeting last month in San
Diego, sparked my interest to investigate further. 

 The AAAS meeting hosted several top geo-engineering scientists who gathered
to discuss the "plausibility" of implementing various geo-engineering
programs throughout the world.  One of the options addressed was the
stratospheric aerosol geo-engineering (SAG) , AKA  chemtrail program,  where
scientists discussed the "plausibility" of spraying aerosol aluminum, barium
and other particles into the sky to block the sun as a means to "reduce" the
Earth's temperature.   When asked specifically about the potential risks
associated with using aluminum in the program as an aerosol, scientists
replied by stating that they have not studied much about the risks
associated with aluminum and added that something terrible could be found
tomorrow that they haven't looked at.  When probed further about the
deployment of existing aerosol programs, the scientists stated that no
aerosol spraying programs have been deployed to date. 

 The concerned citizens I met outside the meeting were claiming quite the
opposite.  They came in protest after witnessing airplanes that they believe
are regularly spraying aerosols into the upper-part of the sky.  Many from
this group have tested and found extremely high levels of aluminum, barium
and other substances in their soil, rain, water and snow.  Ironically, the
substances that they reported finding are the same substances the scientists
are "considering" implementing in the various aerosol spraying programs
discussed at the meeting.  They also believe that these substances are
leading to the destruction of eco-systems and are coming from already
deployed SAG programs.   Due to the severity of this issue and my desire to
know the truth, I was led to Shasta County in the Northern part of
California to investigate not only the claims of what is being reported in
the sky, but also claims of what is in the rain, water, snow and soil from
what many residents are saying is the result of SAG programs. 

The first stop on this trip led me to Dane Wigington's beautiful 2000 acre
property overlooking Lake Shasta.  As we toured his breath-taking land, he
pointed to multiple trails that blanketed the sky.  He claimed the trails
are present on most days above Northern California.   Wigington referred to
this as a "moderate spraying day".  Like many other residents in Shasta
County, Wigington moved to the area to get away from the heavy pollution of
Southern California that he grew up with as a child.  His dreams of living
off the land and becoming one with nature are now coming to a grinding halt
as he is focusing his time and energy on the issue of geo-engineering. 

Wigington became concerned about SAG when he began to notice dramatic
changes in the solar power that he uses to supply his home and property.
Owner of one of the largest residential solar systems in Northern
California, he began to notice very high declines in solar power.  It can be
decreased by as much as 60 percent on what he calls "heavy spraying days".
Wigington said, "The trails are literally blocking the sun".   He also went
on to say that he regularly samples the fine dust layers on top of his solar
panels and other outdoor surface areas and frequently finds very high levels
of aluminum and barium.  Wigington believes that these are a product of SAG
programs. 

At the same time as finding decreased solar power, Wigington also began to
witness dramatic changes on his property as the trees, grass, insects and
wildlife started dying.  This led him to get his first rain test just four
years ago.  The results were shocking as they found aluminum levels at 7
ug/l or 7 parts per billion.  Although aluminum can be found around the
world in smaller quantities, geo-hydrologists told him that this number was
quite high.  Since that time, he has had aluminum tests escalate as high as
50,000 percent to 3,400ug/l.  That is literally toxic rain.  These results
prompted him to get additional pH tests from two USDA soil scientists which
yielded more shocking results.  The pH of the soil was 6.6 in one area and
7.4 in another.  This is over 11 times the normal alkalinity of the soil
which should be in the range of 5.0 to 5.5.  It is important to note the
tests were taken in the forest far removed from any highway or industry. 

When asked what these changes can do to the ecosystem, Wigington replied by
saying that it is devastating.   He went on to say, "if this continues, we
can only expect to see things get much worse.  Not only are we seeing our
trees dying here, but also a major decline in our wildlife and fish".  As a
matter of fact, Wigington stated that according to The National Oceanic
Atmospheric Administration, the salmon run, once seen in abundance in this
area has declined from 769,868 in 2002 to 39,530 in 2009.  That is over a 90
percent decline.  Amazingly enough, this decline started occurring about the
same period of time when residents began to see a dramatic increase in what
they believe to be SAG programs.  Wigington's efforts to get these issues
and test results addressed has been largely ignored by government agencies
and officials. 

After a closer look at Wigington's property, my initial awe of the beauty
and breath taking views led to sadness, frustration and anger over the
contamination that is literally destroying the eco-system.  This led me to
investigate further by seeking an expert in biology.  I packed up the car
and headed north to the breathtaking town of Mt. Shasta.   Mt. Shasta has
been known for its beauty, clean air and as being the source of water for
some bottled water companies.  Many travel from around the world to mountain
climb and vacation in this beautiful part of Western America. 

Francis Mangels, BS in Forestry, Masters in zoology and a retired soil
conservationist and wildlife biologist who worked for the U.S. Forest
Service for over thirty five years, welcomed me into his beautiful home in
the town of Mt. Shasta to discuss the "hidden" crisis that is occurring.
Mangels alerted me to the rapid decline of fish in the nearby rivers and
streams.  Mangels brought me to a nearby creek that had an abundant supply
of fish just a few years ago.  Because the primary diet of the fish in the
creek is aquatic insects, he performed a standard sample method to measure
the amount of insects present.  The samples he had performed before the
alleged aerosol spraying campaign had yielded an average of 1000 aquatic
insects.  Our sample yielded only 31. This is over a 96% decline from
samples taken just a few years ago.  Mangels stated that because the fish
live off of the insects, they are literally starving.  This rapid decline is
likely due to changes in the chemistry of the water.  The only changes that
Mangels is aware of are the dramatic increases of aluminum, barium and
strontium which he believes is from SAG programs. 

We also took time to test the pH of nearby soil and snow which contained
over 10 times the alkalinity of the normal pH.  Mangels has evidence that
this drastic change in pH is also due to the massive increases of aluminum.
He stated that forests, fields and farm ecologies thrive in acidic soils.
Aluminum acts as a buffer that increases alkalinity and can decimate
ecologies in large amounts.  Mangels also pointed out that snow on Mt.
Shasta was tested and sent to theEnvironmental Protection Agency (E.P.A.)
who found results that contained 61,100 ug/l or parts per billion of
aluminum and 83 ug/l of barium.   The normal amount of aluminum in the snow
at Mt. Shasta is 0.5 ug/l.  Drinking water allowable is 50ug/l.  That means
that the snow on Mt. Shasta has tested at 1200 times more poisonous than
water standards allow for aluminum.  Mangels said, "Mountain climbers that
come from around the world are drinking the poisonous water from the snow on
the mountain".   Mangels went on to say that government action is required
at just 1000 ug/l of detected aluminum.  Although he alerted several
government agencies of these findings, no governmental action has been taken
to date. 

Mengels brought me to several other locations around the town of Mt. Shasta
where he tested the soil, rain, water and snow that also yielded tests that
revealed the pH to be over ten times the normal alkalinity.  He went on to
say that these types of changes in soil, water and snow are very uncommon
except in other areas around the world where people have been witnessing
what many believe to be spraying from SAG programs.  Mengels also stated
that these changes have produced an "ecological crisis" and will have
horrible consequences if continued.  Mengels said, "Losses to our economy
will be incredible and are on their way as we speak.  Tree growth will be
decreased which will result in the loss of logging jobs.   It is also
causing the decline of naturally occurring plant and grassgrowth that occurs
in the normally acidic soils of grazing pastures, resulting in the demise of
our grazing industry, fishing industry, and worst of all, basic agriculture
in Northern California." 

What is amazing is that these tests and many others throughout the world are
largely being ignored by the very governmental entities that are required to
address them.   Some politicians, like Mt. Shasta City Council member Ed
Valenzuela may choose to ignore the issue. Valenzuela was made aware of the
mass contamination at a city council meeting where he stated that the city
did not want to sample the water for aluminum because the request was a "can
of worms" that would, "open a Pandora's box" that the city would have to pay
for.  Although several local citizens volunteered to pay the $22.00 cost of
the test at an EPA lab, both Republican Committee Chairman Russ Porterfield,
and Valenzuela voted no to having the water tested. The mayor Stearns wanted
the test, but was overruled by a 3-2 vote.   This response is not uncommon
as Mengels has presented this issue and his scientific data to over 15 local
and federal agencies including Senator Feinstein and Senator Boxer's office.
To date he has received no response or action. 

Is it a coincidence that the substances found in the rain, snow and soil in
this region and around the world match the exact substances that scientists
are "considering" implementing in various geo-engineering campaigns
throughout the world?  If not, then why have agencies and officials largely
ignored these findings that are destroying our planet's eco-system?   Could
it be that officials are fearful of exposing a massive cover-up of a
world-wide ecological crime?  Or is it the belief that this issue is simply
too large and too complicated a problem for them to tackle?  Whatever the
reason for this ignorance, we need to demand that our questions and shocking
test results get addressed not only in Shasta County, but in every part of
the world.  Our future on this planet is dependent on this issue being
addressed. 

 Because this movement has come under attack from those who appear to be
protecting the many political and corporate interests associated with SAG,
it is essential that all of us around the world get involved by testing the
rain, snow, soil and various outdoor surfaces and reporting the results to
our elected officials and local environmental agencies.  We must also reach
out and educate all those involved with SAG who might be unaware of the
environmental implications associated with their programs.  Testing for pH
changes and metals is simple and can be performed almost anywhere at a
nominal price.

To clarify things:  looking at my national soil pH map califfornia has a
very steep and varied pH range with the soil on the the northern coast being
much acidic than that found inland/south whic tends to be basic as you
disccovered.. pH 9 IS very alkaline.  soil pH's  of less than 5 are rare but
not unheard of. Decomposed pine/fir needles are very acidic which is why
they only be used in compost in small amounts -unless of course if you have
alkaline soil.  maybe that could be the case in Shasta.  One sample from
under conifers and other from different microclimate eg limestone present.

pH is defined as the negative logarithm of the concentration of H+ ions
(which "cause" acidity), meaning that as it works out, a pH of 5 is in fact
10 times more acidic than pH 6 

by that accepted convention.
