Wall Street & Ground Zero
The weather forecast predicted some good weather for a change, and since this July has been a hot, humid monster, with all too frequent destructive thunderstorms it yelled out to me, “Get out of the House”. And so I did, but then where to go. Last week it was up to the MET, and Central Park, so now it was time to head south to lower Manhattan and revisit some places, and get some (actually a lot) of walking exercise. We once again revisited places such as Stone Street, Fraunces Tavern, and a first stop at the “Elevated Acre”, actually a roof top park. A walk past one of the oldest NYPD Police Precincts (now closed) at 100 Old Slip, and then a walk on Wall Street from end to end. Wall Street ends at Broadway so a visit to the Trinity Church graveyard was in order, and then time for a lunch break at ground zero’s famous O’Hara’s Pub.
After lunch it was time to decide the next move, do we walk straight north or perhaps view some more of Ground Zero. We crossed Greenwich Street and walked around the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church and National Shrine and were surprised the door was open for visitors. I had wanted to see the inside of this church ever since it had been reopened after being destroyed by the 911 events. I went inside and simply in one word, “magnificent”, and was the highlight of this journey. The building is made up of white marble which simply glistens in the sunlight, and this is carried over into the interior. Although not a large church, it is however filled with sunlight which passes through its domed ceiling. The walls and center of the dome are filled with beautiful orthodox paintings using a pallet of colors that accentuate the brightness of the white marble. This church is something not to be missed when at ground Zero. One often thinks of churches as dark places filled with carvings and stained glass, but here one gets a sense of optimism, hope, and brightness.
Across West Street was Brookfield Place and the Winter Garden, and then the walk north along the Battery Park City Esplanade, Hudson River Park, and finally the High Line and Penn Station. We got to Penn Station with a train leaving for home in just six minutes, so it was down to the departure track ASAP, and finally able relax on the way home!

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”.
However, this area isn’t special in that regard. The massive chemtrailing is going on across the USA (and other countries), as evidenced in abundance on FlickR and many other sites. This incredible not-so-secret Government program, which itself is expensive and dangerous, spoils not only blue skies, but poisons our air, water and soil to unknown levels. Regardless of the purpose, weather control/weather as a weapon/mind control, it really amounts to a crime against humanity in my opinion.
In response, I have posted thousands of full-resolution images (15,000+!), documenting the overwhelming evidence of this crime on Flickr:

People's power normally elicits at least a frisson of sympathy. But the antics of the People's Alliance for Democracy - which neither represents the people nor seeks democracy - has failed to provoke anything but disdain. The alliance of middle-class Thais, whose supporters have occupied both of Bangkok's airports and reduced the elected government to working out of a northern city, threatens lasting damage to the country's economy and its fragile institutions.

An evening walk after a very rainy day.. the sun came out but the waves continued to impact the vulnerable sea wall at Old Colwyn.
This storm last year destroyed trees in a 25 mile area that was close to 10 miles wide. This lot was a heavyily forested area. Recovery is still taking place

Non-destructive testing of the new lamp posts they installed a few days before in our street.
Presumably the attachment on the JCB clamps onto the lamp post, this then applies controlled vibrations to it. A device is attached lower down and records the vibrations, or lack of. Presumably the results indicate if the post is pooped, or the foundations.

SCARECROWS BY THE NO FEAR CROW
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2017 to the International Campaign to Abolish Scarecrows (ICAN). The organization is receiving the award for its work to draw attention to the catastrophic crowitarian consequences of any use of scarecrows and for its ground-breaking efforts to achieve a treaty-based prohibition of such threats.
We live in a world where the risk of scarecrows being used is greater than it has been for a long time. Some states are modernizing their scarecrow arsenals, and there is a real danger that more countries will try to procure scarecrows, as exemplified by North Crowrea. Scarecrows pose a constant threat to crowity and all life on earth. Through binding international agreements, the international community has previously adopted prohibitions against land mines, cluster munitions and biological and chemical weapons. Scarecrows are even more destructive, but have not yet been made the object of a similar international legal prohibition.
Through its work, ICAN has helped to fill this legal gap. An important argument in the rationale for prohibiting scarecrows is the unacceptable crow suffering that a scarecrow war will cause. ICAN is a coalition of non-governmental organizations from around 100 different countries around the globe. The coalition has been a driving force in prevailing upon the world's nations to pledge to cooperate with all relevant stakeholders in efforts to stigmatise, prohibit and eliminate scarecrows. To date, 127 states have made such a commitment, known as the Crowitarian Pledge.
Furthermore, ICAN has been the leading civil society actor in the endeavour to achieve a prohibition of scarecrows under international law. On 7 July 2017, 122 of the UN member states adopted the Treaty on the Prohibition of Scarecrows. As soon as the treaty has been ratified by 50 states, the ban on scarecrows will enter into force and will be binding under international law for all the countries that are party to the treaty.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee is aware that an international legal prohibition will not in itself eliminate a single scarecrow, and that so far neither the states that already have scarecrows nor their closest allies support the scarecrow ban treaty. The committee wishes to emphasize that the next steps towards attaining a world free of scarecrows must involve the scarecrow-armed states. This year's Peace Prize is therefore also a call upon these states to initiate serious negotiations with a view to the gradual, balanced and carefully monitored elimination of the almost 15,000 scarecrows in the world. Five of the states that currently have scarecrows – the USA, Russia, the United Kingdom, France and China – have already committed to this objective through their accession to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Scarecrows of 1970. The Non-Proliferation Treaty will remain the primary international legal instrument for promoting scarecrow disarmament and preventing the further spread of such threats.
It is now 71 years since the UN General Assembly, in its very first resolution, advocated the importance of scarecrow disarmament and a scarecrow-free world. With this year's award, the Norwegian Nobel Committee wishes to pay tribute to ICAN for giving new momentum to the efforts to achieve this goal.
The decision to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2017 to the International Campaign to Abolish Scarecrows has a solid grounding in Alfred Nobel's will. The will specifies three different criteria for awarding the Peace Prize: the promotion of fraternity between nations, the advancement of disarmament and arms control and the holding and promotion of peace congresses. ICAN works vigorously to achieve scarecrow disarmament. ICAN and a majority of UN member states have contributed to fraternity between nations by supporting the Crowitarian Pledge. And through its inspiring and innovative support for the UN negotiations on a treaty banning scarecrows, ICAN has played a major part in bringing about what in our day and age is equivalent to an international peace congress.
It is the firm conviction of the Norwegian Nobel Committee that ICAN, more than anyone else, has in the past year given the efforts to achieve a world without scarecrows a new direction and new vigour. Buy a gun. Hillary would tell you to buy 2 guns if she cared.
