Chemtrails? I stumbled onto this site which suggests that, if you’re among those noticing more contrails these days, some of them may represent secret government experimental spraying campaigns over populated areas, which are making numbers of people feel ill.

These I feel are in fact the deployment and

experiments with military countermeasures against Bio-Warfare.

Another probably smaller percentage still are weather control

experiments. Both of these programs have been outlined in the

defense budget proposals and have been funded by DARPA as has

been established by our research and that of other independent

researchers. I feel what we are seeing here are the deployment of

both the Oily Water detergent based bio-warfare countermeasures,

and the antigen producing spores being developed by MaxGen under

DARPA contract.

It is these programs and their unforeseen or possibly considered

acceptable effects that are causing the wide spread suffering felt by a

certain percentage of the population.

Bye-bye, Barry McCaffrey. Ariana Huffington bids a fond farewell as another drug czar bites the dust. Only this one left a legacy of the U.S. boondoggle involvement in the Colombian “interdiction”, which may be stacking up to be our biggest and most ill-advised foreign misadventure since Indochina.

New battleground: resistance moves into cyberspace. The Lebanese Daily Star reports on Hezbollah accusations of an Israeli denial of service attack on Hezbollah’s website after the kidnapping of three Israeli soldiers on October 7th. Noting that a large number of these increased “hits” came from North American sites, the Hezbollah webmaster concluded, “It’s obvious that the Americans are conspiring with Israel to cripple our site.” (It’s obvious he doesn’t understand distributed denial of service attacks.) The article includes links to mirrors of the Hezbollah site in case it’s down. [via The Web Today]

Al Gore knows that some of you peek behind the scenes of his campaign. Read the HTML code of this page from his official campaign website and see a special message for you. [via Memepool]

Nader supporters urge at least some to vote for Gore. A group calling itself “Nader’s Raiders for Gore” accuses Nader of going back on a pledge to campaign only in those states where a vote for him would not hurt Gore’s chances. ‘”It is now clear that you might well give the White House to

Bush. As a result, you would set back significantly the social

progress to which you have devoted your entire, astonishing

career,” the group wrote Friday in its open letter to the

consumer advocate.’ The appeal has been rejected by Nader’s press secretary. “Greens for Gore” has taken a similar stance. “If the last minute exit or public opinion polls in your state

show Gore or Bush clearly projected to win, then vote Nader. If

it is too close or undecided at that point, then vote for Al

Gore.” I’ve previously blinked Nader advisor Steve Cobble’s “Your Vote Doesn’t Matter,” suggesting that progressives vote for Nader in states where (and only where) one of the major candidates has locked in the electoral college votes already. Singer Ani Difranco, a Nader supporter, has written an open letter urging Oregonians to vote for Gore.

An article in The New Republic suggests that Nader may actually be seeking a Gore defeat by working so hard for swing state votes. The theory is that a Bush presidency would galvanize the progressive movement. [The last time I remember anyone reasoning like that was when people jokingly suggsted we might bring on the Revolution by electing George Wallace!]

These CNN maps show the status of the races for each state’s electoral votes. They will be updated regularly until Election Day, and can help you decide whether, and how, to waste your very own vote. Here are the current “tossup” states:
