• Update from Washington: U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie

  U.S. Representative Thomas Massie entered Congress in November 2012 after serving as Lewis County Judge Executive. He represents Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District, which stretches across Northern Kentucky and 280 miles of the Ohio River. U.S. Representative Massie attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, earning a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering and a Master’s in Mechanical Engineering. During school, he invented a technology that enabled people to interact with computers using their sense of touch. He leveraged that technology to found SensAble Technologies, Inc., which raised over $32 million of venture capital, created 70 jobs, and obtained 29 patents. The hardware and software he developed are now used to design automobiles, jewelry, shoes, dental prosthetics, and even reconstructive implants for wounded soldiers. In Congress, Thomas serves on two committees: the House Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure and the House Judiciary Committee. The House Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure has jurisdiction over roads, bridges, mass transit, railroads, aviation, maritime and waterborne transit. The Judiciary Committee has jurisdiction over laws that affect intellectual property, industrial hemp, civil liberties, firearms, and other topics that were among the reasons he ran for Congress.

• Uncovering Chemtrails: Geoengineering, Weather Control, and Government Secrecy, feat. Peter Kirby

  Peter Kirby is a researcher, writer, and activist based in San Rafael, California. Born in 1971 in San Francisco and raised in nearby Brisbane, California, he has a background in radio, television, and film, having studied at Cal State Long Beach and San Francisco State. Since 2009, Kirby has focused extensively on researching and writing about geoengineering. Kirby is the author of Chemtrails Exposed: A New Manhattan Project, a book in which he argues that a large-scale, covert scientific program—akin to the original Manhattan Project—is responsible for a plurality of projects that are impacting the earth’s climate. He asserts that this operation involves major institutions, and is backed by significant funding and numerous patents. His work suggests that these activities are hidden from the public through a mass-disinformation campaign. Kirby has collected significant evidence tying elevated levels of toxins like aluminum and barium in rainwater and air samples to geoengineering activities.
