About my pictures:
Since 2014 I've been documenting the daily, destructive, poisonous chemtrail activity in the Dayton, Ohio area -- home of the notorious Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (visited by every important person on Earth, and even a few Aliens ;-) -- and apparently from my photo and video documentation, Chemtrail Central. This area has been getting chemtrailed on a massive, daily basis and is being conducted, as they say, “in plain sight”. I've got over 10,000 high-resolution pictures already uploaded and available for free on Flickr, with thousands more on the way:

Arik Levy | Confessions Instlalations
Arik speaks to us of the passionate, and often destructive, relationship that we can have with an object. In this way, he extols love in that it is able to breathe life into inanimate objects. “This is a chair that I designed with love and that I had made so it could be purchased with love, wounded with love and then healed with love. This is an object’s reason for being.” Arik embraces the materialism of our world without inhibition and even exalts its stature: “Behind the money that I spend, there are all the efforts undertaken to earn it. A purchase is thus an act of love.”

Tobacco :
A highly disproportionate Government taxation is forced on the purchasers of a singled out long time publicly sold legal product ? Tobacco users must now pay the equivalent of over 4 times the amount of Government sin tax on their product as do the users of alcohol pay tax on their product even though stats show that alcohol use ranks twice as much in cost to society due to substance use as does tobacco ? www.flickr.com/photos/74039487@N02/52649460406/in/datepos...

A stifling, superfluous, unimaginable and shocking Sin Tax has been placed on cigarettes ? The Maders street window in downtown Kentville is allowed to display Government gambling ads but not the product he's been selling for the last 50 years, and so Maders has instead posted a sign that reveals the massive Government Sin Tax that is currently being charged to the customer on their purchases of tobacco ? He was later ordered to take this information down ? www.flickr.com/photos/74039487@N02/9344935900
When legally purchasing a tobacco product you are now charged a Government Sin Tax at a proportional rate equivalent to over 4 times more than charged on alcohol even though the alcohol product is far more destructive and far more costly to society ? The extreme difference in taxation and the obvious discrimination shown against one legally sold product over another is a direct result of many years of lobbying by those who are biased against smoking but do not appear to have a problem with other more harmful bad habits such as smoking marijuana, alcohol, junk food, obesity, energy drinks, gambling, etc ? Over the years there's been loads of one product only negative misinformation and gaslighting submitted by the lobby in order to stack their case that has served to convince and encourage Government (s) to levy outrageous sin taxes on the lone product lobbyists have chosen to singularly target ? Consequently, has the fair and normal progression of the placement of a tax on a product by a Government(s) been negatively influenced by discrimination, bias and an attack aimed at one consumer product only ? And, has the biased outside interference now caused an extraordinarily harsh and unjust taxation to be imposed on a long time legally sold product and on certain Canadian citizens ? And would such an unfortunate and very unfair discriminatory situation constitute a form of harassment or a form of consumer fraud against this injured group of Canadian citizens ? A Class action tax recovery suit and an application for a fair share of the recent 24 billion dollar tobacco reclamation suit to compensate consumers for large financial losses is being considered ? www.flickr.com/photos/74039487@N02/52649460406/in/datepos...
August 16, 2023 - Unfortunately, cancer diagnosis rates have gone way up in a new generation ? Studies find that cancer diagnosis rates are going up in younger adults, driven largely by a rise in women and in people in their 30s ? But, unlike previous generations, this is a generation made up of far fewer cigarette smokers ? www.cnn.com/2023/08/16/health/early-onset-cancer-increase...
May 13, 2024 - May 13, 2024 - Many have quit smoking but as the number of persons who smoke cigarettes keeps going down the cancer death rates blamed on them keeps going up ? Monday's issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal says Cancer is still your leading cause of premature death in Canada. Stats Canada data says it has accounted for 25 per cent of the deaths in 2022, however more people than ever are now surviving. Researchers projected there will be 247,100 new cancer diagnoses and 88,100 cancer deaths in 2024, up from last year ?

Sept 4th, 2023 - A tenacious, well funded, well-organized and anti tobacco lobbying campaign with its laser focus continually on the tobacco products seems to have failed miserably in their promise to reduce and to even eliminate heart and lung disease ? Figures now show that after many years of a strategy focusing mainly on tobacco, that while on their watch cancer rates have risen significantly instead of going down as their lobby has promised the donors ? This is especially true among young adults (who are mostly non smokers) ?

For years now cancer societies have directed their energy and primary focus on the tobacco products ? While the attack has always been targeted mainly on this one singled-out product alone, smoking has gone way down but the cases of cancer keeps on steadily increasing as never before ? Has the cancer societies biased blinkers on, one product only strategy taken the wrong path and has it even prevented discovery of the real causes of all of these cancers ? If it isn't the smoking, then what is it ? and why aren't they getting warning labels on whatever it is ?

Lawyers rubbing hands together in eager anticipation ? There's a pending 500 billion dollar, (that's with a 'b') tobacco industry suit still up for grabs ? www.ctvnews.ca/health/provinces-must-seek-anti-smoking-me...
May 31, 2023 - Canada has created a brand new Cabinet position called Minister of health and Addictions, and Carolyn Bennett has started off with yet another repeated attack on tobacco by ordering that 50 additional dire warning messages ( 25 in French and 25 in English) must be placed on or within the cigarette package that is already overcrowded with many dire warnings and graphic pictures ? This is getting interesting ? First they favor alcohol products by giving them a generous 4 times the Sin Tax break over tobacco products, and then they create and pass legislation that legalizes and enables smoking cannabis, and then they create more legislation in Bill C-218 that will open the flood gates to enable legal at home and mobile phone sports parlor betting and casino gambling as never before seen or imagined in Canada - And then after aiding, abetting and enabling all of these social vices through new Liberal legalization, they will then create a Cabinet position called the Minister of mental health and addictions, and her first order of business is to once again go after tobacco while ignoring and never mentioning sports parlor betting, on-line gambling, marijuana or alcohol ?

Ottawa May 31, 2023 - Canada has made history, (and the Guinness book of records) ? The Canadian Government has ordered that 50 new dire warnings be placed on or inside cigarette packages that are already 75% covered with multiple warnings and graphic images and must always be hidden away from public view in drawers in stores ? Meanwhile the number 50 also just happens to be the same number of new at-home on-line gambling las vegas style gambling casinos and sports betting parlors that quickly opened for business in Canada following this same Liberal Government's recently enacted Bill C-218 ?

Lobbyists claim 10's of thousands of Canadians die each year from smoking but strangely enough not one of the 10's of thousands of official death certificates posted will ever list or use the word 'smoking' as an official cause of that particular death ?

Each year the Province of Nova Scotia publishes an official Government financial statement showing tax revenue collected from sales of Sin Tax legal adult recreational products. The Sin Tax products listed are : alcohol ( NSLC sales ), tobacco, gambling (Atlantic lotto/casino), and, now Cannabis (NSLC ) ? According to numbers stated and based on total purchases, the smokers appear to be paying 4 tax dollars into the Government coffers for every 1 tax dollar the drinkers pay in ? This would be equivalent to 4 times more Provincial tax now being charged to the smoker as that being charged to the alcohol purchaser ? www.flickr.com/photos/74039487@N02/52649460406/in/datepos...

'Let's just blame it all on smoking ? easy,,,,,,eh !'
Stats Can, October 16, 2017 - The Conference Board of Canada says that although the number of actual smokers have decreased dramatically, the deaths and health care costs attributed to smoking are still increasing dramatically ? They explain that the reason for the paradox may lie in the way they compute statistics. Calculations include all lifetime sickness and negative health problems (both physical and mental) that are ever incurred by the smoker in an entire lifetime even if they had quit and are a non smoker ? And so, even if you happened to smoke at one time or another in life and quit, all of your health issues and illnesses experienced in your lifetime will be seen by them as caused by smoking ? And so, for example, If an ex smoker dies naturally at say age 80, his death and all of his lifetime sickness and negative medical issues even if a non smoker for 50 years are viewed by them as being caused by smoking ? www.cbc.ca/news/business/smoking-economic-cost-1.4357096
Desperate tobacco Lobbyists stoop to play the race card and to weaponize the common cigarette ? Lobbyists falsely portray menthol cigarettes to be a racist weapon that was specifically invented, manufactured and distributed to harm blacks in America ? As a direct result of this kind of gaslighting a long time freedom of choice and guaranteed right has now been taken away from citizens after menthol smokes were banned in the USA in a move similar to Canada ? read "How the tobacco industry targeted Black Americans with menthol smokes" www.npr.org/2022/04/29/1095291808/tobacco-industry-target...

Why do they always place high priority on the smoking habit only and why do they hide and never mention all the other bad habits and why has this bias that is now shown on one product become so politically correct ? It is noticed that they never show such strong opinions against pot, gambling, obesity or alcohol ? In Countries where those in power do not hold a personal grudge or strong bias towards one particular product, for example Turkey, where today's normal and rational price for a pack of Marlboro is $ 1.73 American when purchased at the local downtown tobacconist ? www.thesun.co.uk/money/24653882/kings-speech-charles-rish...

Global news 2023 - It seems strange that although smoking and smokers are way down, Rob Cunningham's Canadian Cancer Society says deaths per year caused by smokers are way up ? They also claim that 1 in 3 cancer cases in Canada are still being caused by these same smokers ? Given that in the last 10 years the actual number of smokers has gone down by half, it was interesting when Cunningham and the Minister of Health said recently that in 2022 there were a whopping 46,000 deaths related to smoking ? This is 10,000 or 30% more than it was 10 years ago in 2011 when there were only 36,000 deaths reported caused by smokers even though there were twice as many smokers smoking then ? And so the 46,000 deaths related to smoking figure used in 2022, 23, 24, 25, and 26 don't make any sense ? Are these numbers misinformation and are they being exaggerated and manipulated in order to get the results wanted ? globalnews.ca/video/10194704/tobacco-free-generation-the-...
While the number of actual cigarette smokers continues steadily on a downward trend each year - for some odd reason the cancer rates blamed on them keeps going in the other direction, and at an alarming rate upwards ? The latest figures from the Canadian Cancer Society in 2023, 24, 25 and 26 claim in their official public reports that smoking tobacco causes 46,000 Canadian deaths per year ? 46,000 deaths are actually up 30 % from 10 years ago even though actual smokers are 50% less since then ? cancer.ca/en/about-us/news/2023/june/stop-big-tobacco

May 25,2022 - The big gambling companies are running ads that emphasize 'limited play' and 'safe' gambling ? Is this not the same as the alcohol industry running ads to encourage the drinking of alcohol by telling you how many beers you can safely drink per day, or, how about the tobacco industry running ads promoting smoking thru a suggested amount of safely smoked cigs per day, or the marijuana industry recommending the number of joints to safely get high on each day ? Or, what if they were to spin : You're 'good' if you drink but You're 'great' if you safe drink this number of drinks every day, or, you're 'good' if you smoke cigarettes but You're 'great' if you safe smoke by only smoking so many cigarettes per day, or , you're 'good' if you smoke pot but you're 'great' if you only do this many grams per day ? ref, "All those sports betting ads you're seeing,, It's illegal says the Alberta gaming commission ?" www.cbc.ca/player/play/2302654019728
Jan 22 2024 - Although smokers have co-operated and 1 out of every 2 smokers has quit during the last 10 years and the numbers are now down to a tolerable 11 % in Canada as compared to rates like 40% or 50% in other countries like Russia and China, a few radical anti tobacco lobbyists are still unsatisfied and are demanding that further legislation be introduced for a total nation wide ban on all tobacco products ?
'It's never enough' and 'we'll never be satisfied' seems to be a standard moto in the never ending, blinkers on, one-product only, singular, blind sided attack on the one social product that they don't happen to approve of ?

It also seems a bit rich when Rob Cunningham and his Canadian Cancer Society don't appear to have any problem at all with this new run of smoking ads by the top Provincial Doctor ?

Jul 22, 2026 - In their ongoing quest for notoriety, the powers-that-be have ordered cigarette packages to be re engineered and re-designed not to make room for the addition of more product but instead to increase the showcase area size of the package cover ? The added space will be needed to accommodate a fresh new series of 13 upgraded ultra sickening pictures and warnings that are to be added to the existing 73 others that are now over-crowding current package covers ? Messages will also be added to the extended upper flap inside cigarette packages says Karine LeBlanc.
Do these people really think that by continually using this idea for political gain as they deliberately hide or ignore the thousands of other possible causes of cancer that they are actually helping to find the cure for cancer ?

APT and NCPTT partnered to present nondestructive evaluation methods for historic structures. The workshop provided guidance for professionals and students in the use of diagnostic nondestructive testing for historic structures. It was intended for technically oriented graduate and practicing engineers, architects, preservation consultants, and contractors who were not familiar with this subject area.

Working in the fields of archeology, architecture, landscape architecture and materials conservation, the Center accomplishes its mission through training, education, research, technology transfer and partnerships.
The destructive force of Cyclone Ului, last March, reached inland to the head of the Pioneer Valley.

Destructive Fire in Brattleboro.
$30,000 Destroyed.
The most destructive fire that has ever occurred in Brattleboro, took place this afternoon. At about two o'clock P. M. the cry of fire was raised, and hardly had our citizens rushed into the streets to answer call, when the roof of the Vermont House was seen to be on fire for nearly the whole of its length. The firemen and citizens generally rushed to the scene of the disaster, and the Fire companies of this village and West Brattleboro had their engines on the ground and ready for operation in the briefest possible time. But it was soon found that no supply of water at all adequate to the emergency could be had, and while the fire companies and a small portion of the crowd did what they could to check the progress of the flames, the attention of the multitude was chiefly directed to saving the contents of the Vermont House and of those buildings so intimately connected with it, that its destruction would also ensure their ruin. All hope of saving the Hotel seemed to be at once abandoned, and while the devouring flames were steadily making their way through the devoted building, our citizens were engaged in carrying from the House its furniture and fixtures, and in emptying of their contents the dwelling house of Mr Asahel Clapp immediately North of and connected with the Vermont House, and the store of Messrs Townsley & Son, immediately South of and also united with the burning building. By the most active and energetic exertions all the movables in the buildings except those which were very bulky were removed.
It was thought possible at first to save the store of Messrs. Townsley & Son, notwithstanding its immediate contiguity to the Vt. House, and we now think the fate of that building might have been averted if suitable means had been used. A very heavy solid wall of brick intervened between the two buildings, and afforded a protection which, if well aided by water, might have proved effectual. But the water was not to be had, or rather was not had, though it was but a few rods to the river, and hundreds of able bodied men, who might have formed two or three double columns to and from the water, stood calmly and looked on, whether ignorant what to do or too lazy to do it, we know not. In less than an hour from the commencement of the fire, the walls of the Vermont House began to fall, and the heat from the mass of burning matter was so intense that the store yielded to the fury of the fire. Immense volumes of flame were soon pouring from every door and window, the dry wood-work of the interior burning like so much tinder. At the same time the fire was extending Northwardly to the house of Mr. Clapp, and Eastwardly to the barns and out-buildings of the Vt. House, which were soon enveloped in flames. All efforts were now needed to prevent the spread of the fire to Williston's Stone Block at the South, and the Bank and Congregational Church at the North, all of which were in imminent danger. The store of Messrs. Fisher & Haven, in the Stone Block, was emptied of its contents. The wood work of that building caught fire once or twice, but was extinguished without difficulty. When the Townsley store fell, water was applied as liberally as possible and the progress of the fire in that direction was checked.
In the meanwhile the fire was intensely hot at the North end of the Vermont House, and in the dwelling house of Mr Clapp. The roof of the Bank was covered with carpeting torn from the floor of the hotel, which was kept well soaked with water. The engines were also brought to play upon the Church which by this time was scorched almost from sill to steeple-top, and in momentary danger of bursting into flames. Ten or fifteen minutes drenching of the church accompanied by an active pouring of water on the ruins of Mr Clapp's house, prevented any farther progress of the fire, and by half past four the flames were checked, so that fears of a greater calamity were allayed.
The buildings burned were the Vermont House, a splendid structure of brick and wood, three stories high, built and furnished with new and costly furniture in 1850; the store of Messrs Townsley & Son, also of brick, and three stories high, built about five years ago, and Mr Clapp's house, a wooden building two stories high and rather old.
The Vermont House and out-buildings cost Capt. Lord $25,000; the store was worth between $4,000 and $5,000; and the house not far from $2,000, so that the whole damage to buildings cannot fall short of $30,000 and perhaps exceeds that. The Vermont House and the store were well insured---the precise amount we do not know---Mr Clapps house was lightly insured. The damage to goods, furniture, &c., by removal is great but how much cannot now be estimated. The streets, stores, houses, and offices in the vicinity of the fire are full of the property which was hurriedly deposited in the most convenient place. The river bank is also loaded with goods which were thrown down in a confused heap. Quite as much to be deplored as the destruction of property is the injury to the business of the village.---The Vermont House will probably never be rebuilt, and though the enterprise of Messrs. Townsley & Son, will soon rise superior to this misfortune, their large business must necessarily suffer greatly. The origin of the fire is unaccountable.
As we write the Aurora is streaming brilliantly above the ruins, like hope hovering over the couch of despair. We accept it as an omen of a speedy restoration of that part of our village to its former beauty.

I correctly forecast single costliest natural disaster ever world wide in great detail.
On the evening of June 15, 1896, the northeast coast of Hondo, the main island of Japan, was struck by a great earthquake wave (tsunami), which was more destructive of life and property than any earthquake convulsion of this century in that empire. The whole coastline of the San-Riku, the three provinces of Rikuzen, Rikuchu, and Rikuoku, from the island of Kinkwazan, 38° 20' north, northward for 175 miles, was laid waste by a great wave moving from the east and south, that varied in recorded height from 10 to 50 feet. A few survivors, who saw it advancing in the darkness, report its height as 80 to 100 feet. With a difference of but thirty minutes in time between the southern and northern points, it struck the San-Riku coast and in a trice obliterated towns and villages, killed 26,975 people out of the original population, and grievously wounded the 5,390 survivors. It washed away and wrecked 9,313 houses, stranded some 300 larger craft—steamers, schooners, and junks—and crushed or carried away 10,000 fishing boats, destroying property to the value of six million yen. Thousands of acres of arable land were turned to wastes, projecting rocks offshore were broken, overturned, or moved hundreds of yards, shallows and bars were formed, and in some localities the entire shoreline was changed.
They were all seafaring communities along this coast strip and the fisheries were the chief industry. The shipment of sea products to the great ports was the main connection with the outer world. A high mountain range bars communication with the trunk railway line of the island, and this picturesque, fiord-cut coast is so remote and so isolated that only two foreigners had been seen in the region in ten years, with the exception of the French mission priest, Father Raspail, who lost his life in the flood. With telegraph offices, instruments, and operators carried away, word came slowly to Tokyo, and with 50 to 100 miles of mountain roads between the nearest railway station and the seacoast aid was long in reaching the wretched survivors. When adequate idea of the calamity reached the capital and the cities, men-of-war, soldiers, sappers, surgeons, and nurses were quickly dispatched, and public sympathy found expression in contributions through the different newspapers, amounting to more than 250,000 yen, for the relief of the injured. The Japanese journalist and photographer were quickly on their way, and the vernacular press soon fed the public full of horrors, yet the first to reach the scene of the disaster was an American missionary, the Rev. Rothesay Miller, who made the usual three days' trip over the mountains in less than a day and a half on his American bicycle.
There were old traditions of such earthquake waves on this coast, one of two centuries ago doing some damage, and a tsunami of forty years ago and a lesser one of 1892 flooding the streets of Kamaishi and driving people to upper floors and the roofs of their houses. The barometer gave no warning, no indication of any unusual conditions on June 15, and the occurrence of thirteen light earthquake shocks during the day excited no comment. Rain had fallen in the morning and afternoon, and with a temperature of 80° to 90° the damp atmosphere was very oppressive. The villagers on that remote coast adhered to the old calendar in observing their local fêtes and holidays, and on that fifth day of the fifth moon had been celebrating the Girls' Festival. Rain had driven them indoors with the darkness, and nearly all were in their houses at eight o'clock, when, with a rumbling as of heavy cannonading out at sea, a roar, and the crash and crackling of timbers, they were suddenly engulfed in the swirling waters. Only a few survivors on all that length of coast saw the advancing wave, one of them telling that the water first receded some 600 yards from ghastly white sands and then the Wave stood like a black wall 80 feet in height, with phosphorescent lights gleaming along its crest. Others, hearing a distant roar, saw a dark shadow seaward and ran to high ground, crying "Tsunami! tsunami!" Some who ran to the upper stories of their houses for safety were drowned, crushed, or imprisoned there, only a few breaking through the roofs or escaping after the water subsided.
Shallow water and outlying islands broke the force of the wave in some places, and in long, narrow inlets or fiords the giant roller was broken into two, three, and even six waves, that crashed upon the shore in succession. Ships and junks were carried one and two miles inland, left on hilltops, treetops, and in the midst of fields uninjured or mixed up with the ruins of houses, the rest engulfed or swept seaward. Where the wave entered a fiord or bay it bore everything along to the head of the ravine or valley and left the mass of debris in a heap at the end. Where the coast was low and faced the open ocean the wave washed in and, retreating, carried everything back with it. Many survivors, swept away by the waters, were cast ashore on outlying islands, or seized bits of wreckage and kept afloat. On the open coast the wave came and withdrew within five minutes, while in long inlets the waters boiled and surged for nearly a half hour before subsiding. The best swimmers were helpless in the first swirl of water, and nearly all the bodies recovered were frightfully battered and mutilated, rolled over and driven against rocks, struck by and crushed between timbers. The force of the wave cut down groves of large pine trees to short stumps, snapped thick granite posts of temple gates and carried the stone cross-beams 309 yards away. Many people were lost through running back to save others or to save their valuables.
One loyal schoolmaster carried the emperor's portrait to a place of safety before seeking out his own family. A half-demented soldier, retired since the late war and continually brooding on a possible attack by the enemy, became convinced that the first cannonading sound was from a hostile fleet, and, seizing his sword, ran down to the beach to meet the foe. One village officer, mistaking the sound of crashing timbers for crackling flames, ran to high ground to see where the fire was, and thus saved his life. Another village officer, living on the edge of a hill, heard the crash and slid his screens open to look upon foaming waters nearly level with his veranda. In a moment the waters disappeared, leaving a black, empty level where the populous village had been a few minutes before. Four women clung to one man, seeking to escape to high ground, and their combined weight resisting the force of the receding wave they were all saved. The only survivors of another village were eight men who had been playing the game of "go" in a hillside temple. Eight children floated away and left on high ground were believed to be the only survivors of one village, until one hundred people were found who had been borne across and stranded on the opposite shores of their bay. One hundred and fifty people were found cast away on one island offshore. From two large villages on one bay only thirty young men survived, hardy, muscular young fishermen and powerful swimmers, yet in other places the strongest perished, and the aged and infirm, cripples, and tiny children were miraculously preserved. The wave flooded the cells of Okachi prison and the jailers broke the bolts and let the 195 convicts free. Only two convicts attempted to escape, the others waiting in good order until marched to the high ground by their keepers. The good Père Raspail had just reached Kamaishi from his all-day walk of 50 miles over the mountains and entered his inn, when his assistant called to him from the street. The priest came to the veranda, but in an instant the water was upon him. He was seen later, swimming, but evidently was struck by timbers or swept out to sea, as his body has not been recovered. Japanese men-of-war cruised for a week off Kamaishi, recovering bodies daily. The Japanese system of census enumeration is so complete and minute that the name of every person who lost his life was soon known, and the Official Gazette was able to state that out of a population of 6,529 at Kamaishi 4,985 were lost and 500 injured, while 953 dwellings and 867 warehouses and other structures were destroyed or carried away, and 176 ships carried inland or swept out and lost.
The survivors were so stunned with the appalling disaster that few could do anything for themselves or others. With houses, nets, and fishing-boats carried away and the fish retreating to further and deeper waters, starvation faced them, and, the great heat continuing while so many bodies were strewn along shore and imprisoned in ruins, the atmosphere fast became poisonous. The north-coast people are opposed to cremation and insisted on earth burial, which delayed the disposal of the dead and augmented the danger of pestilence. Disinfectants were sent in quantity, and the work of recovery and burial was so pressing that soldiers were put to it after all available coolies had been impressed. The Red Cross Society, with its hospitals and nurses, had difficulty in caring for all the wounded, the greater number of whom, besides requiring surgical aid, were suffering from pneumonia and internal inflammations consequent upon their long exposure in wet clothing without shelter and from the brine, fish oil, and sand breathed in and swallowed while in the first tumult of waters. Besides the generous relief fund subscribed by the people, the government has made large assignments from its available funds and sent stores of provisions, clothing, tools, etc., to the 60,000 homeless, ruined, bereaved, and starving people of the San-Riku coast.
The wave was plainly felt two hours later on the shores of the island of Yesso, 200 miles north of the center of disturbance on the San-Riku coast, the water advancing 80 feet beyond high-tide mark on the beach at Hakodate. Eight hours later there was a great disturbance of the waters on the shores of the Bonin islands, more than 700 miles southward, the water rising three or four feet and retreating violently. Six hours later, on the shores of Kaui, the most northern of the Hawaiian islands, distant 3,390 miles, the waters receded violently and washed on shore in a wave some inches above the normal height.
The plainest inference has been that the great wave was the result of an eruption, explosion, or other disturbance in the bed of the sea, 500 or 600 miles off the San-Riku coast. The most popular theory is that it resulted from the caving-in of some part of the wall or bed of the great "Tuscarora Deep," one of the greatest depressions of the ocean bed in the world, discovered in 1874 by the present Rear-Admiral Belknap, U. S. N., while in command of the U. S. S. Tuscarora, engaged in deep-sea surveys.
The "Tuscarora Deep" is nearly five and one-third statute miles in depth, being exceeded, so far as known, only by the still more profound depths discovered last year in the South Pacific by Commander A. F. Balfour, of the British Navy.
That disturbances were taking place in this tremendous abyss was again suggested at six o'clock on the morning of July 4, when the Canadian Pacific Railway Company's mail steamer Empress of Japan, sailing directly over it in a smooth sea, was shaken as if a propeller blade had been lost or the ship had struck an obstruction. Every one was roused by the peculiar shock, but no visible explanation was furnished. The destructive wave and this incident together should stimulate further investigation of this dangerous, bottomless pit of the Pacific ocean, which owes its discovery to United States explorers by deep-sea soundings.

About my pictures:
Since 2014 I've been documenting the daily, destructive, poisonous chemtrail activity in the Dayton, Ohio area -- home of the notorious Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (visited by every important person on Earth, and even a few Aliens ;-) -- and apparently from my photo and video documentation, Chemtrail Central. This area has been getting chemtrailed on a massive, daily basis and is being conducted, as they say, “in plain sight”. I've got over 15,000 high-resolution pictures already uploaded and available for free on Flickr, with thousands more on the way:

The Wrath of Car is quickly approaching over the center of Beirut again in another destructive attempt to annihilate Lebanese Starforce Starcom Base. The intergalactic dOve Invaders are doing their level best to stop the Car God from completely annihilating Lebanon but it seems like nothing will stop these giant SUV high altitude destroyers with gas nozzle powered directed energy beam weapons of commercialistic dominance disintegrate our great and beautiful land. They are destroying our people, our land, our environment and trying to force us to convert to the way of Car and forever be enslaved to Car. There goes the intergalactic dOve Invaders again. They keep directing their full COO power directly at Car and their COO rays keep bouncing off some mysterious force field. We must and I repeat we must find the secret to Car and disable the gearshift of capitalistic militaristic boombastic conquested doom of our lands before Car becomes the only God we know of and we have to pray and kneel to Car in super skin tight choking crusty faded jeans for the rest of eternity. Another good reason why people should have not tried to culturally reform Lebanon eons ago because it made Lebanese people for the taking. Oh, know...........I don't think the Intergalactic dOve Invaders can hold Car off much longer. Pakistani Starfleet Headquarters, please send help at once! Meanwhile the dOvemaster is trying to contact the dOvestar which may be our last hope. We have already found out that Car has it's headlights set on Persia Iraq too. This is Lebanese Starforce Field Commandress Faridah signing off with my flip communicator mobile. OH NO!!!!!!!!!!! Car is beginning to deploy that terrible oil steeling ray of death again. We must run. Everybody run for your lives.
Red Lily Bug
Colorful and Destructive
Bright red and rather attractive when you first meet them. Then you discover the colourful Red lily bug, (technically a beetle, but who cares,) has devastated all of your lilies.
Lilioceris lilii to give it its proper name, has been a lily pest in the UK since the early 1900's.
The scarlet lily beetle (Lilioceris lilii), or red / leaf lily beetle, is a leaf beetle that eats the leaves, stem, buds and flower of lilies, fritillaries and other members of the family Liliaceae. They mainly lay their eggs on Lilium and Fritillaria species. Observed in absence of Lilium and Fritillaria species, the numbers of eggs laid were significantly less and the survival rate of eggs and larvae were lowered. It is now a pest in most temperate climates where lilies are cultivated.Lily leaf beetles overwinter in the soil and come out early in spring whereas adults stay in moist environments.
Life cycle
During the winter, adult lily leaf beetles rest in an undisturbed protective environment, normally shaded, cool and moist. Lily leaf beetles overwinter in soil or plant debris underneath the lily leaf plants they fed on during the previous summer and sometimes in gardens or woods quite a distance away from their host plants. In early spring, they emerge to feed on young lily leaves and mate. Females can lay up to 450 eggs each season by laying about 12 eggs on the underside of an individual lily/fritillaria leaf in irregular lines along the midrib to conceal them. Hatching of the eggs occurs in about 6 days. The larvae begin to feed underneath the leaf and working up to the rest of the plant, feeding for up to 24 days. They then burrow themselves in the ground to pupate in a cocoon formed by saliva and small particles of soil. In about 20 days, they emerge as adults and continue to feed until winter. In some cases, they are able to go through this cycle more than once in a single year.
I correctly forecast single costliest natural disaster ever world wide in great detail.
On the evening of June 15, 1896, the northeast coast of Hondo, the main island of Japan, was struck by a great earthquake wave (tsunami), which was more destructive of life and property than any earthquake convulsion of this century in that empire. The whole coastline of the San-Riku, the three provinces of Rikuzen, Rikuchu, and Rikuoku, from the island of Kinkwazan, 38° 20' north, northward for 175 miles, was laid waste by a great wave moving from the east and south, that varied in recorded height from 10 to 50 feet. A few survivors, who saw it advancing in the darkness, report its height as 80 to 100 feet. With a difference of but thirty minutes in time between the southern and northern points, it struck the San-Riku coast and in a trice obliterated towns and villages, killed 26,975 people out of the original population, and grievously wounded the 5,390 survivors. It washed away and wrecked 9,313 houses, stranded some 300 larger craft—steamers, schooners, and junks—and crushed or carried away 10,000 fishing boats, destroying property to the value of six million yen. Thousands of acres of arable land were turned to wastes, projecting rocks offshore were broken, overturned, or moved hundreds of yards, shallows and bars were formed, and in some localities the entire shoreline was changed.
They were all seafaring communities along this coast strip and the fisheries were the chief industry. The shipment of sea products to the great ports was the main connection with the outer world. A high mountain range bars communication with the trunk railway line of the island, and this picturesque, fiord-cut coast is so remote and so isolated that only two foreigners had been seen in the region in ten years, with the exception of the French mission priest, Father Raspail, who lost his life in the flood. With telegraph offices, instruments, and operators carried away, word came slowly to Tokyo, and with 50 to 100 miles of mountain roads between the nearest railway station and the seacoast aid was long in reaching the wretched survivors. When adequate idea of the calamity reached the capital and the cities, men-of-war, soldiers, sappers, surgeons, and nurses were quickly dispatched, and public sympathy found expression in contributions through the different newspapers, amounting to more than 250,000 yen, for the relief of the injured. The Japanese journalist and photographer were quickly on their way, and the vernacular press soon fed the public full of horrors, yet the first to reach the scene of the disaster was an American missionary, the Rev. Rothesay Miller, who made the usual three days' trip over the mountains in less than a day and a half on his American bicycle.

Tobacco :
A highly disproportionate Government taxation is forced on the purchasers of a singled out long time publicly sold legal product ? Tobacco users must now pay the equivalent of over 4 times the amount of Government sin tax on their product as do the users of alcohol pay tax on their product even though stats show that alcohol use ranks twice as much in cost to society due to substance use as does tobacco ? www.flickr.com/photos/74039487@N02/52649460406/in/datepos...

A stifling, superfluous, unimaginable and shocking Sin Tax has been placed on cigarettes ? The Maders street window in downtown Kentville is allowed to display Government gambling ads but not the product he's been selling for the last 50 years, and so Maders has instead posted a sign that reveals the massive Government Sin Tax that is currently being charged to the customer on their purchases of tobacco ? He was later ordered to take this information down ? www.flickr.com/photos/74039487@N02/9344935900
When legally purchasing a tobacco product you are now charged a Government Sin Tax at a proportional rate equivalent to over 4 times more than charged on alcohol even though the alcohol product is far more destructive and far more costly to society ? The extreme difference in taxation and the obvious discrimination shown against one legally sold product over another is a direct result of many years of lobbying by those who are biased against smoking but do not appear to have a problem with other more harmful bad habits such as smoking marijuana, alcohol, junk food, obesity, energy drinks, gambling, etc ? Over the years there's been loads of one product only negative misinformation and gaslighting submitted by the lobby in order to stack their case that has served to convince and encourage Government (s) to levy outrageous sin taxes on the lone product lobbyists have chosen to singularly target ? Consequently, has the fair and normal progression of the placement of a tax on a product by a Government(s) been negatively influenced by discrimination, bias and an attack aimed at one consumer product only ? And, has the biased outside interference now caused an extraordinarily harsh and unjust taxation to be imposed on a long time legally sold product and on certain Canadian citizens ? And would such an unfortunate and very unfair discriminatory situation constitute a form of harassment or a form of consumer fraud against this injured group of Canadian citizens ? A Class action tax recovery suit and an application for a fair share of the recent 24 billion dollar tobacco reclamation suit to compensate consumers for large financial losses is being considered ? www.flickr.com/photos/74039487@N02/52649460406/in/datepos...

May 31, 2023 - Canada has created a brand new Cabinet position called Minister of health and Addictions, and Carolyn Bennett has started off with yet another repeated attack on tobacco by ordering that 50 additional dire warning messages ( 25 in French and 25 in English) must be placed on or within the cigarette package that is already overcrowded with many dire warnings and graphic pictures ? This is getting interesting ? First they favor alcohol products by giving them a generous 4 times the Sin Tax break over tobacco products, and then they create and pass legislation that legalizes and enables smoking cannabis, and then they create more legislation in Bill C-218 that will open the flood gates to enable legal at home and mobile phone sports parlor betting and casino gambling as never before seen or imagined in Canada - And then after aiding, abetting and enabling all of these social vices through new Liberal legalization, they will then create a Cabinet position called the Minister of mental health and addictions, and her first order of business is to once again go after tobacco while ignoring and never mentioning sports parlor betting, on-line gambling, marijuana or alcohol ?

Each year the Province of Nova Scotia publishes an official Government financial statement showing tax revenue collected from sales of Sin Tax legal adult recreational products. The Sin Tax products listed are : alcohol ( NSLC sales ), tobacco, gambling (Atlantic lotto/casino), and, now Cannabis (NSLC ) ? According to numbers stated and based on total purchases, the smokers appear to be paying 4 tax dollars into the Government coffers for every 1 tax dollar the drinkers pay in ? This would be equivalent to 4 times more Provincial tax now being charged to the smoker as that being charged to the alcohol purchaser ? www.flickr.com/photos/74039487@N02/52649460406/in/datepos...

Stats Can, October 16, 2017 - The Conference Board of Canada says that although the number of actual smokers have decreased dramatically, the deaths and health care costs attributed to smoking are still increasing dramatically ? They explain that the reason for the paradox may lie in the way they compute statistics. Calculations include all lifetime sickness and negative health problems (both physical and mental) that are ever incurred by the smoker in an entire lifetime even if they had quit and are a non smoker ? And so, even if you happened to smoke at one time or another in life and quit, all of your health issues and illnesses experienced in your lifetime will be seen by them as caused by smoking ? And so, for example, If an ex smoker dies naturally at say age 80, his death and all of his lifetime sickness and negative medical issues even if a non smoker for 50 years are viewed by them as being caused by smoking ? www.cbc.ca/news/business/smoking-economic-cost-1.4357096

Global news 2023 - It seems strange that although smoking and smokers are way down, Rob Cunningham's Canadian Cancer Society says deaths per year caused by smokers are way up ? They also claim that 1 in 3 cancer cases in Canada are still being caused by these same smokers ? Given that in the last 10 years the actual number of smokers has gone down by half, it was interesting when Cunningham and the Minister of Health said recently that in 2022 there were a whopping 46,000 deaths related to smoking ? This is 10,000 or 30% more than it was 10 years ago in 2011 when there were only 36,000 deaths reported caused by smokers even though there were twice as many smokers smoking then ? And so the 46,000 deaths related to smoking figure used in 2022, 23, 24, 25, and 26 don't make any sense ? Are these numbers misinformation and are they being exaggerated and manipulated in order to get the results wanted ? globalnews.ca/video/10194704/tobacco-free-generation-the-...

Or, what if they were to spin : You're 'good' if you drink but You're 'great' if you safe drink this number of drinks every day, or, you're 'good' if you smoke cigarettes but You're 'great' if you safe smoke by only smoking so many cigarettes per day, or , you're 'good' if you smoke pot but you're 'great' if you only do this many grams per day ? ref, "All those sports betting ads you're seeing,, It's illegal says the Alberta gaming commission ?" www.cbc.ca/player/play/2302654019728

I took this photo to represent addiction, with a specific addict in mind
I have known quite a few addicts of various substances/habits and it's so, well, destructive. It ruins relationships, homes, and the lives of all around them. The worst part is not knowing what to do or how to help. If you know anyone with an addiction to anything, do not hesitate to speak up and say that you're worried and want to help. It's a long and stressful road, but do not give up. Giving up on someone who needs your help is only letting them become worse.
I made this photo sitting on my floor with some matches and a bowl of water at my feet. In case any of you didn't know, this is a royal flush-- the highest scoring hand in cards. I burned away the Queen's corner to show the King's face, because I wanted to, in a way, personify the photo and give a face to the addiction. I also cropped the photo to put his face in a certain spot to use the rule of thirds. I feel like this photo turned out really well and shows destruction-- like that of addiction-- nicely.
About my pictures:
Since 2014 I've been documenting the daily, destructive, poisonous chemtrail activity in the Dayton, Ohio area -- home of the notorious Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (visited by every important person on Earth, and even a few Aliens ;-) -- and apparently from my photo and video documentation, Chemtrail Central. This area has been getting chemtrailed on a massive, daily basis and is being conducted, as they say, “in plain sight”. I've got over 10,000 high-resolution pictures already uploaded and available for free on Flickr, with thousands more on the way:

I correctly forecast single costliest natural disaster ever world wide in great detail.
On the evening of June 15, 1896, the northeast coast of Hondo, the main island of Japan, was struck by a great earthquake wave (tsunami), which was more destructive of life and property than any earthquake convulsion of this century in that empire. The whole coastline of the San-Riku, the three provinces of Rikuzen, Rikuchu, and Rikuoku, from the island of Kinkwazan, 38° 20' north, northward for 175 miles, was laid waste by a great wave moving from the east and south, that varied in recorded height from 10 to 50 feet. A few survivors, who saw it advancing in the darkness, report its height as 80 to 100 feet. With a difference of but thirty minutes in time between the southern and northern points, it struck the San-Riku coast and in a trice obliterated towns and villages, killed 26,975 people out of the original population, and grievously wounded the 5,390 survivors. It washed away and wrecked 9,313 houses, stranded some 300 larger craft—steamers, schooners, and junks—and crushed or carried away 10,000 fishing boats, destroying property to the value of six million yen. Thousands of acres of arable land were turned to wastes, projecting rocks offshore were broken, overturned, or moved hundreds of yards, shallows and bars were formed, and in some localities the entire shoreline was changed.
They were all seafaring communities along this coast strip and the fisheries were the chief industry. The shipment of sea products to the great ports was the main connection with the outer world. A high mountain range bars communication with the trunk railway line of the island, and this picturesque, fiord-cut coast is so remote and so isolated that only two foreigners had been seen in the region in ten years, with the exception of the French mission priest, Father Raspail, who lost his life in the flood. With telegraph offices, instruments, and operators carried away, word came slowly to Tokyo, and with 50 to 100 miles of mountain roads between the nearest railway station and the seacoast aid was long in reaching the wretched survivors. When adequate idea of the calamity reached the capital and the cities, men-of-war, soldiers, sappers, surgeons, and nurses were quickly dispatched, and public sympathy found expression in contributions through the different newspapers, amounting to more than 250,000 yen, for the relief of the injured. The Japanese journalist and photographer were quickly on their way, and the vernacular press soon fed the public full of horrors, yet the first to reach the scene of the disaster was an American missionary, the Rev. Rothesay Miller, who made the usual three days' trip over the mountains in less than a day and a half on his American bicycle.
There were old traditions of such earthquake waves on this coast, one of two centuries ago doing some damage, and a tsunami of forty years ago and a lesser one of 1892 flooding the streets of Kamaishi and driving people to upper floors and the roofs of their houses. The barometer gave no warning, no indication of any unusual conditions on June 15, and the occurrence of thirteen light earthquake shocks during the day excited no comment. Rain had fallen in the morning and afternoon, and with a temperature of 80° to 90° the damp atmosphere was very oppressive. The villagers on that remote coast adhered to the old calendar in observing their local fêtes and holidays, and on that fifth day of the fifth moon had been celebrating the Girls' Festival. Rain had driven them indoors with the darkness, and nearly all were in their houses at eight o'clock, when, with a rumbling as of heavy cannonading out at sea, a roar, and the crash and crackling of timbers, they were suddenly engulfed in the swirling waters. Only a few survivors on all that length of coast saw the advancing wave, one of them telling that the water first receded some 600 yards from ghastly white sands and then the Wave stood like a black wall 80 feet in height, with phosphorescent lights gleaming along its crest. Others, hearing a distant roar, saw a dark shadow seaward and ran to high ground, crying "Tsunami! tsunami!" Some who ran to the upper stories of their houses for safety were drowned, crushed, or imprisoned there, only a few breaking through the roofs or escaping after the water subsided.
Shallow water and outlying islands broke the force of the wave in some places, and in long, narrow inlets or fiords the giant roller was broken into two, three, and even six waves, that crashed upon the shore in succession. Ships and junks were carried one and two miles inland, left on hilltops, treetops, and in the midst of fields uninjured or mixed up with the ruins of houses, the rest engulfed or swept seaward. Where the wave entered a fiord or bay it bore everything along to the head of the ravine or valley and left the mass of debris in a heap at the end. Where the coast was low and faced the open ocean the wave washed in and, retreating, carried everything back with it. Many survivors, swept away by the waters, were cast ashore on outlying islands, or seized bits of wreckage and kept afloat. On the open coast the wave came and withdrew within five minutes, while in long inlets the waters boiled and surged for nearly a half hour before subsiding. The best swimmers were helpless in the first swirl of water, and nearly all the bodies recovered were frightfully battered and mutilated, rolled over and driven against rocks, struck by and crushed between timbers. The force of the wave cut down groves of large pine trees to short stumps, snapped thick granite posts of temple gates and carried the stone cross-beams 309 yards away. Many people were lost through running back to save others or to save their valuables.
One loyal schoolmaster carried the emperor's portrait to a place of safety before seeking out his own family. A half-demented soldier, retired since the late war and continually brooding on a possible attack by the enemy, became convinced that the first cannonading sound was from a hostile fleet, and, seizing his sword, ran down to the beach to meet the foe. One village officer, mistaking the sound of crashing timbers for crackling flames, ran to high ground to see where the fire was, and thus saved his life. Another village officer, living on the edge of a hill, heard the crash and slid his screens open to look upon foaming waters nearly level with his veranda. In a moment the waters disappeared, leaving a black, empty level where the populous village had been a few minutes before. Four women clung to one man, seeking to escape to high ground, and their combined weight resisting the force of the receding wave they were all saved. The only survivors of another village were eight men who had been playing the game of "go" in a hillside temple. Eight children floated away and left on high ground were believed to be the only survivors of one village, until one hundred people were found who had been borne across and stranded on the opposite shores of their bay. One hundred and fifty people were found cast away on one island offshore. From two large villages on one bay only thirty young men survived, hardy, muscular young fishermen and powerful swimmers, yet in other places the strongest perished, and the aged and infirm, cripples, and tiny children were miraculously preserved. The wave flooded the cells of Okachi prison and the jailers broke the bolts and let the 195 convicts free. Only two convicts attempted to escape, the others waiting in good order until marched to the high ground by their keepers. The good Père Raspail had just reached Kamaishi from his all-day walk of 50 miles over the mountains and entered his inn, when his assistant called to him from the street. The priest came to the veranda, but in an instant the water was upon him. He was seen later, swimming, but evidently was struck by timbers or swept out to sea, as his body has not been recovered. Japanese men-of-war cruised for a week off Kamaishi, recovering bodies daily. The Japanese system of census enumeration is so complete and minute that the name of every person who lost his life was soon known, and the Official Gazette was able to state that out of a population of 6,529 at Kamaishi 4,985 were lost and 500 injured, while 953 dwellings and 867 warehouses and other structures were destroyed or carried away, and 176 ships carried inland or swept out and lost.
The survivors were so stunned with the appalling disaster that few could do anything for themselves or others. With houses, nets, and fishing-boats carried away and the fish retreating to further and deeper waters, starvation faced them, and, the great heat continuing while so many bodies were strewn along shore and imprisoned in ruins, the atmosphere fast became poisonous. The north-coast people are opposed to cremation and insisted on earth burial, which delayed the disposal of the dead and augmented the danger of pestilence. Disinfectants were sent in quantity, and the work of recovery and burial was so pressing that soldiers were put to it after all available coolies had been impressed. The Red Cross Society, with its hospitals and nurses, had difficulty in caring for all the wounded, the greater number of whom, besides requiring surgical aid, were suffering from pneumonia and internal inflammations consequent upon their long exposure in wet clothing without shelter and from the brine, fish oil, and sand breathed in and swallowed while in the first tumult of waters. Besides the generous relief fund subscribed by the people, the government has made large assignments from its available funds and sent stores of provisions, clothing, tools, etc., to the 60,000 homeless, ruined, bereaved, and starving people of the San-Riku coast.
The wave was plainly felt two hours later on the shores of the island of Yesso, 200 miles north of the center of disturbance on the San-Riku coast, the water advancing 80 feet beyond high-tide mark on the beach at Hakodate. Eight hours later there was a great disturbance of the waters on the shores of the Bonin islands, more than 700 miles southward, the water rising three or four feet and retreating violently. Six hours later, on the shores of Kaui, the most northern of the Hawaiian islands, distant 3,390 miles, the waters receded violently and washed on shore in a wave some inches above the normal height.
The plainest inference has been that the great wave was the result of an eruption, explosion, or other disturbance in the bed of the sea, 500 or 600 miles off the San-Riku coast. The most popular theory is that it resulted from the caving-in of some part of the wall or bed of the great "Tuscarora Deep," one of the greatest depressions of the ocean bed in the world, discovered in 1874 by the present Rear-Admiral Belknap, U. S. N., while in command of the U. S. S. Tuscarora, engaged in deep-sea surveys.
The "Tuscarora Deep" is nearly five and one-third statute miles in depth, being exceeded, so far as known, only by the still more profound depths discovered last year in the South Pacific by Commander A. F. Balfour, of the British Navy.
That disturbances were taking place in this tremendous abyss was again suggested at six o'clock on the morning of July 4, when the Canadian Pacific Railway Company's mail steamer Empress of Japan, sailing directly over it in a smooth sea, was shaken as if a propeller blade had been lost or the ship had struck an obstruction. Every one was roused by the peculiar shock, but no visible explanation was furnished. The destructive wave and this incident together should stimulate further investigation of this dangerous, bottomless pit of the Pacific ocean, which owes its discovery to United States explorers by deep-sea soundings.
