Sarina's second thriller is now out. It's a twisty thriller with a single-mom protagonist and some deep, dark secrets. It's called Dying to Meet You and it is creepy in the best possible way. In this episode, Jennie interviews Sarina about the new book, and about the difference between writing romance and writing thrillers. You may think that's obvious, but Sarina has recently shifted into writing thrillers and she has such a nuanced understanding about what it all means. She gets into what defines a genre, how you have to honor your readers expectations, and the different ways you hold tension when telling a story. It's a masterclass in genre.Books mentioned:Dying to Meet You, Sarina BowenSarina's other thriller, The Five Year LieThe Guest List, Lucy Foley On a Quiet Street, Seraphina Nova Glass Rowan Gallagher is a devoted single mother and a talented architect with a high-profile commission restoring an historic mansion for the most powerful family in Maine.

If you haven't yet ordered Dying to Meet You, Sarina Bowen's latest thriller with just enough romance, you have to. So let me lay this out for you. Rowan Gallagher is a devoted single mother and a talented architect with a high-profile commission restoring a historic mansion for the most powerful family in Maine, but inside, she's a mess. She knows stalking her ex's avatar all over Portland on her phone isn't the healthiest way to heal from their breakup, but she's out of ice cream and she's sick of rom-coms. Watching his every move is both fascinating and infuriating. He's dining out while she's wallowing on the couch. The last straw comes when he parks in their favorite spot on the waterfront. In a weak moment, she leashes the dog and sets off to see who else is in his car. But instead of catching her ex in a kiss, Rowan becomes the first witness to his murder—and the primary suspect. But Rowan isn't the only one keeping secrets. As she digs for the truth, she discovers that the dead man was stalking her too, gathering intimate details about her job and her past. Struggling to clear her name, Rowan finds herself spiraling into the shadowy plot that killed him. Will she be the next to die? You're going to love this. I've had a sneak preview, and I think we all know that The Five Year Lie was among the very best reads and listens of last summer. Dying to Meet You is available in every format and anywhere that you buy books. And you could grab your copy—and you absolutely should—right now.Multiple SpeakersIs it recording? Now it's recording. Yay! Go ahead. This is the part where I stare blankly at the microphone. Try to remember what I'm supposed to be doing. All right, let's start over. Awkward pause. I'm going to rustle some papers. Okay. Now, one, two, three.Jennie NashHey, writers, I'm Jennie Nash, and this is the Hashtag AmWriting Podcast, the place where we talk about writing all the things—short things, long things, fiction, non-fiction, pitches, and proposals. I'm here today to talk to our own Sarina Bowen. Her newest thriller, Dying to Meet You, just came out a few weeks ago, and I've been dying to talk to Sarina about the way she's been switching back and forth between romance and thriller. This is her second thriller. The last one came out last year. That one's called The Five Year Lie. And so we're just here to talk about genre, and romance, and thriller, and how Sarina does it—this back-and-forth kind of code switching between genres. So, welcome, Sarina.Sarina BowenThank you. It's always fun to talk about genre. It's my favorite thing.Jennie NashWell, I just was really struck when I was reading. I've been reading your romances for so long, and you have so many of them, and you're so good at them, and...Sarina BowenWell, thank you.Jennie NashAnd then here we have an entirely new genre that you have entered into in a really big way. And it's not—so this is not about, how do you come up with your idea, or how did you do it? Or—I mean, all those are great questions. We love those. And I've heard you talk about those other places. But what I want to try to get at here is this idea—really, what is genre? So when you think about that, you're sitting down to start one or this other. What do you think about, like, what are the things that—genre? What does the genre mean to you?Sarina BowenWell, I talk about this a lot when I am discussing my books, which is that I don't find that—that the thriller genre and that the romance genres are all that different. Like, each one of those things makes a promise to the reader and then must deliver it by the last page. It's just that the promise is slightly different between those two things. So in a romance, the reader is promised a satisfactory romantic conclusion to the book. And in a thriller, the reader is promised that whatever mess and confusion is established on page one, that it will be rectified and solved by the end of the book—that the chaos will become at least understanding, if not order. So the thing is that the job of the novelist is kind of the same in both situations, which is, we are going to take the main character on a journey, and she is going to learn some stuff before it's over—or it's not really a novel. Now, to be fair, not every novel is constructed like that and does both of those things. Like what—what makes it feel familiar to me in both cases is that I always write an empathetic main character, and not every author of suspense does this. So there are a lot of really popular suspense novels where you're not sure who to root for, and you don't really like any of the characters. And those books can be really exciting and really well written, and there's a total—a huge audience for that. But that is not what I do in suspense space, and that doesn't make me unique. Like, there are a lot of suspense authors who also operate this way. For example, Harlan Coben and Karin Slaughter write best-selling novels of suspense where you always know who to root for from the first chapter. Like, you are given a main character who is a likable human—a flawed person—but still, like, you know, somebody to root for, and you're rooting for that person until the end of the book. So it's not like this is just my special romance author's twist on it—like, it's a thing. It's just that there are other suspense authors who don't operate under that, you know, scenario. So that's one of the reasons why, to me, like, the job feels kind of similar to writing a romance and writing a suspense the way that I do it. It's just that when I'm writing a suspense, first of all, it takes a lot longer, because a suspense reader is really there to match wits with you, and you have to deliver on—on that experience of paying a lot of attention to where the camera is swinging, and to show them some truths that will turn out to be only half-truths, and to make it a really great ride. Like, the roller coaster of a suspense novel requires more engineering than the roller coaster of a romance, and it can be a lot less linear in construction. And, you know, there are complexities that a romance does not need to—to succeed. So yeah, it's not exactly the same job. But, you know, romance requires on a different level a lot of those same narrative tricks. Like, people love to say that romances are formulaic, and I always want to cry, because if that were true, then it would be so easy. And I—I would spend less time sweating at my keyboard if a romance was formulaic, because then I would know what to do. And it's almost harder to hold the tension when the reader knows you're going to get somewhere satisfying. So, you—you know, you have to make sure that couple has some real issues to work through, and that's hard.Jennie NashYeah, we're going to come back to so many things that you're saying because...Sarina BowenOkay.Jennie NashThis is—this is great. But I want to return to something you said at the very beginning, where you were explaining this, which is the promise to the reader, and this idea of a contract that the writer and the reader enter into. When—when a reader starts a book, there's this promise, there's this expectation, there's—And you—it sounds like what I heard from you, which I just think is so interesting, is a very deep respect for the writer—I mean, for the reader's experience. And is that something that you have as a human, or, you know, like, is it—is that just—does that just come from respect for the time somebody's going to spend and that sort of thing? Or is that respect of the genre?Sarina BowenOh, it's both. I mean, of course, we were all readers before we were writers, and I know what I find frustrating and unsatisfying in a book. So I want to deliver a reader experience that aligns with my most satisfying experiences in—in each genre. And it's such a work in progress. Like, over 10 years of delivering stories, my understanding of what really matters is constantly shifting.Jennie NashOoh, can you say more?Sarina BowenYeah. So—I have the things that I like as a reader. So of course, those are going to figure in heavily. Like, I love a good secret unveiled, no matter what genre I'm reading. Like, a secret in romance that comes out and changes everything is just as satisfying as when that happens in suspense, even though it's less necessary. And each genre has its own bell curve of stakes, let's just say. Like, if you picture a bell curve of stakes—for romance, you could have on the lower end, like a rom-com, where the stakes, you know, are only as large as this couple. And in a thriller, like in an international spy thriller, the stakes could be like, the world might end, or—or a bomb might go off in the middle of Times Square, you know. So there's a bell curve of stakes. And as a—as a writer, I'm not suggesting that you can't, you know, move around on that bell curve and make it work for you. But the two genres—you know, the bell curves are in different spots, and you have to figure out where you are on that gradient of possible results, and then figure out where your stakes are coming from. And I guess what it took me a real—a really long time to learn is how much in control I am of what the reader is paying attention to, and what the reader is focused on, and that the best way to write a novel is almost always to ask yourself, what experience do I want the reader to have? And then figure that out. Like, it's almost like—if you think about roller coaster design, and there's just this really fun video on the WIRED Magazine website with an actual roller coaster designer who shows you how it's done.Jennie NashOh that's very cool. We'll get the link for that in the show notes.Sarina BowenYeah, I'll try to find it. But it makes you think about all these things you don't think about when you're getting on it. Like, your view of getting on a roller coaster is that weird little shed where you step into the car, and you know, you pull on your protective stuff, and you think to yourself, like, whoa, I hope it doesn't fail this time—ha ha ha. And then you experience it, you know. And certain parts of the ride are really predictable, like the initial climb—like, no roller coaster starts without that initial climb—and then the first drop. And, you know, parts of the experience, you—you know before you get on what's going to happen. And then other parts of it are just like, you know, a thrill a minute, like waving you around, and, oh, you didn't see that curve coming. And so, you know, looking at that thing and designing it from the outside to have that experience is something I didn't realize I had to do. Like, as a reader of genre fiction, I just experienced everything like the person getting on the roller coaster at the beginning. And it's taken me, like, a decade to realize that, you know, I have to actually view this thing—like, plan ahead. What—you know, what I want people to feel. Like, where do I want them to cry? Where are we going to laugh? Like, how can we put those two things in the same book? And you know, that—that's the job, and I really like it. But it requires a certain amount of analysis, which is why, when I meet somebody who doesn't plan their books, I'm always, like, stunned. Although, you know, it can—it can work.Jennie NashThat idea of what you want the reader to feel is why we're having this conversation. Because I actually can barely stand to read suspense or thrillers, because I get too scared. I really get into it, and I—I freak myself out, and it's been that way for a very long time. But I really wanted to read yours, because I wanted to see this shift in your professional life, and I wanted to see what all the buzz was about, because people are loving these thrillers. And I thought, oh, I surely can handle this now. But it's so hard for me because—and you do such a good job of making that scary tension so palpable, and that what you feel as the reader. And then I was thinking about why the same thing happens in Sarina's romances. I feel something. You know, you're—there's a tension that you're wanting, a resolution that you're—what—you know, wondering, will they? Will they, you know, declare their love for each other? Will they—whatever the thing is? And it just really struck me that I'm in the hands of somebody who's not manipulating that, but has engineered that form. And so it's curious to hear that you're—that's the work you feel that you do. So can you talk about how that is different from plotting the novel—that emotional engineering, if you will? Or is it?Sarina BowenNo, you're right. It is—it is? Um, so one of the things that I feel I'm pretty good at is establishing empathy early in the book. And I—uh, like I said, there are some thriller authors who write entire books without doing that—like, where you're not sure who you're supposed to like. But to me, that actually seems harder, because if you establish empathy for some characters early on, then the stakes are automatically higher.Jennie NashYeah.Sarina BowenBecause the reader cares about that person.Jennie NashYeah.Sarina BowenAnd I read a book a couple years ago that I thought was so good with this, and it was On a Quiet Street by Seraphina Nova Glass. And she establishes empathy with a character in the prologue, and then chapter one establishes empathy with a different one. And she has this sort of medley of voices that tells this story of something dire happening on a quiet street. And the thing is that she does later—is she really shifts your empathy around, where you care about all these people but you can't—like, because somebody is guilty. So, you know, the length of your empathy is actually going to be snipped in a couple of places, which I think is masterful. And I think it's more masterful than the thriller author who, um, doesn't care if you like anybody but is still delivering, like, big shocks. To me, that just has less emotional resonance, and I care less. But apparently, that's unique to me, because if you look at The New York Times bestseller list, it does not reflect my preference for empathy.Jennie NashSo what do you do to create that empathy? How are you doing that work in the start of the book?Sarina BowenOh, wow, I never think about this.Jennie NashI'm sure you—sure you have an answer, though.Sarina BowenNo, I—yeah. Okay, so I guess the reason that my thrillers read a little bit like my romances to you, is that I really like a female main character who is like one of us, who's just trying to get through the day. And maybe she has even a glamorous job, and she's a super successful person, but that doesn't mean she's not, like, a little bit of a mess inside—but a relatable mess. So establishing empathy early on, to me, is just like breathing. Like, you know, we might have this glamorous job, but, my God, the world is just so irritating. Or—right? Or, how did we just, you know, make ourselves sound like—like a dunderhead in front of the hot guy or whatever, you know? Like, to me, that's not hard.Jennie NashRight, right. And so you talked about engineering and complexity as a difference between the two genres, and that the thrillers require more engineering of plot, is what I imagine you're referring to. How do you go about—how does it differ? So here you're creating a character. You're creating empathy for the character. And now these genres are going to go in really different directions. What? What are the steps? Not like, how do you do it, or how do you write a novel, but sort of almost your emotional steps, like, okay, now I need to do X, or now I need to—I want them to feel Y.Sarina BowenRight. Well, one way to think about it—and this works for almost any novel that you'd ever want to write—is you have to look at the sort of landscape of this story you're going to tell, or the plot you think you're going to pull off, and you have to say, what are my "oh s**t moments"?Jennie NashYeah.Sarina BowenWhere do I want the reader to go, oh s**t? And if you don't know that when you start the book—like, I would find that to be a problem.Jennie NashYeah.Sarina BowenAnd you don't have to know exactly where they're standing when this happens, or exactly what page of the book. I'm actually terrible at that. I never know how long anything is going to take. But—but you have to know what that oh s**t moment is. And then you have to sort of back—work backwards from that. Like, okay, well, if I know why that's a big problem and a big deal—like, why is it, and how am I going to set that up? So—and I also think ahead of time about the fun and games part of any book.Jennie NashYeah.Sarina BowenLike, what is the sort of rising action of, like, the learning about it and the deepening of the problem. So I'm working on a romance right now that takes place at a wedding.Jennie NashFun!Sarina BowenAnd I... yeah, well okay, is it, though? Because one of, one the reasons I chose this setting, is that it's a hockey player. And I've written so many hockey books that take place, like, at the arena and at the office. And I'm like; we got to get out of here. Um, so we're both going to a wedding—this—we have to go to the same wedding, and work—everything's going to happen here. And I never write weddings. And then I'm into it, and I'm writing this wedding, and I look at myself and I'm like, you know why we don't write weddings? We don't like weddings very much.Jennie NashWhat don't you like about them?Sarina BowenOh, because they're all the same. I don't know. It's—to me, they feel—I guess I'm not a really reverent person. Like, ceremony isn't a big part of my life, and I don't love it. So—um, so what I was able to do in this book that makes this book something that I can identify with is that neither one of our characters is totally excited to be here, either. So there's some problems like this. There's some real family mayhem that is preventing either of these characters from being like, woo hoo, wedding! Yeah, let's have a good time! And then—yeah, so I have to bring my own experience into it. And then, of course, the ceremony itself—it turns out they're both feeling a lot of things. And, you know, there's this very lovely part right at the beginning. I'm like, okay, okay, so we got here, we can feel the feelings, but we didn't have to, like, every moment of this wedding for—to pull it off. So—um—but I looked at my, like, little scaffolding of what I wanted these characters to experience and what their "oh s**t moments" might be, and then I sort of grafted them onto the typical wedding experience and, you know, tried to find the best matches for that. And that was kind of the work of this book.Jennie NashSo the "oh s**t moment" in a romance is—what would some of those be? Like, oh, I think—I think he likes me, or, oh, I think I like him? Like, is it those ratcheting up of the emotional stakes?Sarina BowenIt's—yes. Like, oh s**t, I can't believe I have revealed myself like this. I have exposed myself like this. I have made myself vulnerable. And then—and then, as the—as the arc goes on, you're like, oh s**t, here's why I don't usually do this...Jennie NashRight.Sarina BowenHere's the reason I didn't want to make myself vulnerable and exposed—because, oh s**t, you know? Like—so you get to—you get to play with that. And hopefully, in most romances, there's a moment when, you know, it looks like it's all going to go wrong.Jennie NashRight. So what strikes me in listening to you, is that, writing about human nature—of course, because they're people and their stories—and the human nature around romance is—well, you said, I don't want to reveal myself or be vulnerable, so you want to protect your heart. And in the thrillers, it's, I want to protect my body and the bodies of the people I love. Is that—is that a fair differentiator? Like, we're trying to keep ourselves safe in some profound way in each of these genres, right?Sarina BowenRight. And we're also trying to avoid betrayal, and, like, to avoid backing the wrong horse in both genres as well.Jennie NashOoh, that's interesting, right? Let's talk about that.Sarina BowenWell—um, in a thriller, one of the best ways to craft a twist is when you get the reader to back the wrong character. And, you know, you have multiple characters, and if—even if you're going along with a relatable protagonist that the reader knows is not going to turn into a bad guy—that person still has people around them, and they're going to trust some of them and not others. And did they pick correctly? So that's the kind of betrayal that makes a good twist. But in a romance, it's the same possibilities. Like, you know, you made yourself very vulnerable to this other romantic partner. And, you know, it might not be a straight-up betrayal of, you know, oh wait, I love someone else. But it could just be a betrayal of priorities, or, you know, of courage.Jennie NashAnd at the end of each of these types of stories, the reader feels a sense of—we're back, we've talked about the bell curve—of back to safety, or—or homeostasis, or there's a relief, or it's going to be okay, and everything's okay now. So they have that in common too, right? That intense resolution of the tension.Sarina BowenRight. And then sometimes, in suspense space, you see an author pull this off in a way that all of that is done at the reader's own level, and not at the character's. Like, there's this book I love by Lucy Foley, called The Guest List, and that book is not typical, in that the work of the book is not to solve the crime in real time in the story. The work of that book is for the reader to understand what happened—like, the reader is the sleuth.Jennie NashOh.Sarina BowenBut nobody is actually sleuthing the story... at all. You know what happens, but it's to the satisfaction of you as the reader, but not the people running around in the book.Jennie NashRight, wow that sounds cool.Sarina BowenIt is very cool, but it's still true. Like, the—the work of the book is to figure out what happened, but the people on the page are not figuring out what happened. It's you having the experience that is figuring out what happened, but there's no mystery about it in the actual book. It's really—you would just have to try it.Jennie NashIs it fair to say that your second thriller—the new one, Dying to Meet You—is creepier than the first one, which is, The Five Year Lie? Do you think that's fair to say? Are people saying that? Do you feel that?Sarina BowenYeah, okay—yes, a little. But I think what's a better classification is that Dying to Meet You, sits a little more fully on the thriller shelf. It has a plot arc that is more typical of thrillers that are also on that shelf than The Five Year Lie.Jennie NashOkay, maybe that's what—maybe that's the feeling, because The Five Year Lie—there's a—there's a romance baked into it as well. Like, there is so much going on in there. So that's interesting, that you—did you consciously move in that direction, or did—was it just right for that story?Sarina BowenI think maybe both. I can't even remember now.Jennie NashYeah, yeah.Sarina BowenBut I really loved the premise of Dying to Meet You, and I wanted to play with that. And—I mean, I guess what distinguishes them from a reader standpoint, who's, like, reading the backs of both of those books, maybe, is that there is a dead body at the beginning of one of them and not the other one. So, like, it—it lands more firmly in the reader's expectations, that Dying to Meet You is more thriller-y, because you know—it says in the flap copy, like, this book starts when somebody dies.Jennie NashSo you said that it was a little harder to plan out the—to engineer a thriller and the complexities. And we all know that you are a very fast and efficient writer, so I'd be curious to hear: how much time do you set aside to get the complexities and engineering of the thriller versus the romance? What's the time demand of that?Sarina BowenI think, at least at this point, thrillers still require twice as much work in terms of, like, days.Jennie NashYeah.Sarina BowenYeah. It's like six months instead of three.Jennie NashYeah. Wow. Wow. And is the moving back and forth from one to the other—do you—are you finding that satisfying? Are you finding it difficult? Like, what's that like? Because I know right now—well, you—you're working on a romance, and then thriller number three is coming up. So do you—how are you making those transitions?Sarina BowenWell, I think any writer would agree that the book you're not working on today is always the one that seems more appealing.Jennie NashIt's always a better book…Sarina BowenRight?!Jennie NashSuch a good book.Sarina BowenSo, of course, I'm in the finishing part, on the romance that I'm working on, which is, everybody knows, the hardest part, where you have to make all the toughest decisions. So I just cannot wait to write that thriller.Jennie NashDo you—are you—do you cheat? Are you cheating on your romance? Like, do you—do you cheat and do a little research on the new—new thriller?Sarina BowenWell, I've actually written part of that thriller already.Jennie NashYeah.Sarina BowenI wrote part of it, and then I had to stop and finish this other one. So it's not cheating exactly. It's how I had to do my crazy schedule this year, because I had two deadlines in 2024, and they're closer together than I could execute, like, a whole book in each. But cheating is a wonderful thing to do, because when you're like, technically, I'm writing the romance this month, and almost all my time is spent on that—but when you give your brain permission to, like, not be finishing that other book, it goes in all these exciting places, and it comes up with stuff for you. So even though I'm writing a romance this month, I have made notes in my notebook for, like, four other books, some of which I might never write.Jennie NashOh, that's so funny. Well...Sarina BowenYeah.Jennie NashAnd—and are they thrillers or romance?Sarina BowenOh, just that—we're all over the place here. Like, I have made notes for... a romance in an ongoing series, that I'm not sure if I'm continuing, for an unrelated romance that I might never write, and I have, like, scribbled down plot frameworks for unrelated books in two other genres that I probably—probably will never write.Jennie NashSo it's interesting—that's an interesting habit that you're talking about. Because I often see with writers—there was an agent, and I can't remember who it is, which pains me—but they said something that was just so funny and so clever, which was a criticism of a writer who—the phrasing would be, you know, "puts everything and the kitchen sink into every book." But the way this agent framed it was, it was "no note left behind." You know, every note you have goes into the book—and that—that's not good. And you have such a restraint. It's not like, oh, here's a good idea, I'm going to shoehorn it into what I'm writing now. I'm going to shoehorn it into the thriller. I'm going to, you know, wedge it in here. You—this restraint of where an idea belongs or doesn't belong, or that it might get written or might not get written—where do you think that discernment or restraint comes from?Sarina BowenYou know, it doesn't feel like restraint when I'm in the middle of trying to finish a book. Like, every book feels like—so messy. You know, it's like, if I'm building a roller coaster, like, the parts are laying all over the field right now. Like, that's how it feels at every moment. And even for the end of this book, I have, like, written—scribbled down ideas for, like, nine different scenes, and they're not all going to make it, and they're going to have to duke it out.Jennie NashThe scenes are going to have to duke it out?Sarina BowenYes. And, like, oh, this would be cute. Oh, that would be cute. Oh, this would be cute. But you can't have them all—like, they're not—that just doesn't work. So I'm looking for the best, most efficient way to execute that emotional arc that the end of this book needs.Jennie NashYeah. yeah.Sarina BowenAnd I do—okay, fine, maybe it is restraint, because I do care about efficiency. Like, I'm not just going to write and write and write and write because I had a cute little thing that I wanted somebody to say. Because in order to put all that stuff in, I'm going to need too much, like, filler—junk.Jennie NashYeah, that is restraint, Sarina. That is totally restraint.Sarina BowenWell, honestly, I think one of my strengths—like, writers don't think about their strengths all that often, to be honest. Like, we only think about the stuff that's hard. But one of my strengths has always been that every scene is accomplishing, like, two or three things. Like, no bit of dialog is ever just in there because my brain spat it out when I was sitting at a keyboard. Like, it has to be doing something.Jennie NashYeah.Sarina BowenSo I have to look at this little collection of cute scenes and—um—make it do something. Just yesterday, I thought, wouldn't it be funny if the rookie on the team that shows up for this new season to start—you know, after the wedding—spoke entirely in Gen Alpha slang, like my 19-year-old? So I wrote, like, a little bit of dialog where he does this in a—in the rink, and—and the—the main character of the book is like, oh, my God, I don't even know what you just said. And I'm like, oh, I'm so cute and funny. This is going to be great. And then I realized that I just didn't need a bit of discussion in the rink. So I moved that conversation to a different spot, where the heroine was also present. And, like, she jumps in and responds in Gen Alpha slang and to—like, to solve his issue. And the hero is impressed. So, you know, I just needed—it was a fun idea, but I needed it to work harder.Jennie NashYeah.Sarina BowenAnd then I found a way for it to work harder. But if I hadn't, then that bit was just going to have to be cut. It could just go somewhere else—a different book, a different day.Jennie NashThere's a scene in The Five Year Lie where the main character is on a bus—a very long bus trip with her small child—and it goes on for some time at a place in the novel where the tension is pretty high. And I read it—I read it three times, actually, because I was like, what is going on here? What's... what am I—what am I supposed to take away? Like, what? What's happening here? What's—you know, what is the work that this scene is doing? I was curious about it because it felt—the feeling really shifted for me as the reader, where it was a tension reliever for one thing. Like, the tension was really high, and so it was a sort of a chance to breathe. And then there was something that happened on the bus trip that made things much, much worse for this character, so that they're showing up in an even more vulnerable place. Like—and I started seeing the layers of what was happening on that bus trip. And that—I think that's another strength you have—is that the—you don't show your hand. The reader has to work if they want to figure out what—what are all these scenes doing? Like, because you're just in it as the reader. But it was... it was sort of beautiful. I sort of loved that scene because I saw—well, I was trying to figure it out, but I saw, oh, I see what's happening here. I know what she's doing. Like, this is cool. I don't know, you're very good at—uh, like I said, not showing your hand. It's not—you don't see the mechanism of the engineer when you're reading the books.Sarina BowenWell, thank you. That scene—I actually am. It's the first thing I wrote for that book.Jennie NashWhat?!Sarina BowenWhich is—yeah, I know.Jennie NashThat is so interesting.Sarina BowenIt comes really deep in the book. That's why Jennie is so surprised, because it's, like, near the end. But I wrote that scene in my head—which, you know, you sort of almost never do—five years before the book came out. Like, I was—I was wandering around this town nearby while my kid took a violin lesson, and I thought of that. I'm like; wouldn't it be terrifying if you were on a bus, you know? And I thought it—like, I scared myself with this idea of how vulnerable she is at that moment in time. Like you said, it's a moment of safety, and it sort of is a little bit, because, you know, nobody can get her on the bus. But at the same time, if you read the prologue, you realize that, like, it's not really a moment of safety because—and then also, then I did that thing that makes her even more vulnerable. And that's the thing that scared me. Like, I'm like, oh, that would be really bad. And then I sort of filed that away in my head until I figured out what book it fit in.Jennie NashOh yeah, it's brutal. It's a brutal moment.Sarina BowenBut then—but that actual scene, like, that is a really long bus ride, and I had to keep cutting that scene. Like, I wrote it, and I cut it down, and I cut it down, and I cut it down, because I didn't want it to drag. And it was actually really hard to get that right. But people mention that scene to me a lot, so I'm staying—and they don't say, hey, that scene lasted too long.Jennie NashNo—well, when I say it's a moment of safety, it's—what I mean is, she's gotten away from the immediate threat. So there's a—there's a chance to sort of take a little bit of a deep breath. But as it goes on and on, it—that scene—she's on all the different buses, is what I mean. She's moving toward- like, there's a lot that could be really bad. So it was great. So to wrap up, can you tell us what you want to tell us about Dying to Meet You? So to entice those who like to be—match wits with the writer and be in a tense thriller, and there's a sort of haunted house vibe to this one. Tell us. Tell us about this book.Sarina BowenYeah, so—who doesn't love a creepy old mansion? That's kind of what this book is about. But also, the dedication to this book tells, like, a lot of what I was thinking about when I wrote it. And the dedication is to my sons: "Thank you for sharing your location with me so that I could think up the terrifying plot of this book." And when there's—when my older son had got his—got an e-bike is when I first opened the—that app where I could see his location, because I wanted to make sure he got places safely, because I was really terrified. But that—the weird thing of being able to watch him in real time, like his—the blue dot move on the map—um, I thought that was, like, so existentially creepy. And I just thought—kept thinking to myself, like, what's the worst thing that could happen with this? Like, if I'm—if I find this creepy, you know, what if it really was, you know? And that's just kind of where I went from that. And it turned out to be a really good time.Jennie NashMy husband likes this app called FlightAware that tracks the airplanes. And when my children fly, he's always saying, "Oh, they're over wherever." And I'm like, nope, nope. I want none of this information. I do not wish to know where in the sky my child is hanging,Sarina BowenRight.Jennie NashI don't wish to know that.Sarina BowenYeah, I get it. I get it.Jennie NashSo, Dying to Meet You—out now. So good. Before that, The Five Year Lie. There's a third one coming that you'll be writing soon. So we get Sarina Bowen—romance, thriller, back and forth for the foreseeable future?Sarina BowenI hope so. Let's keep it going.Jennie NashAwesome. Well, thank you for chatting about genre and how you do it. It's always fun to get inside your brain. And for our listeners—until next time, keep your butt in the chair and your head in the game.Jess LaheyThe Hashtag AmWriting Podcast is produced by Andrew Perella.

Passengers on a Delta flight from Utah to Amsterdam found themselves diverted to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport Wednesday night after severe turbulence prompted an emergency landing. Their plane took off from Salt Lake City Wednesday afternoon. About an hour into the flight, they ran into turbulence that caused the plane's altitude to drop about 1,000 feet within a minute – according to the flight-tracking website, FlightAware. Delta said 25 people on board were injured. They were taken to hospitals after landing. We wanted to know more about what causes severe turbulence. Kwasi Adjekum is professor of aviation and aerospace sciences at the University of North Dakota. He spoke to Minnesota Now guest host Chris Farrell.

There was a huge fire in the South Shore Sports Complex in Hingham last night. It set off four alarms. Severe weather caused chaos for flights. FlightAware showed 9,800 flights delayed and close to 900 cancelled. Closing arguments in the Diddy trial start today. Gas prices are down 20 cents a gallon from last summer. Anna Winter is stepping down as editor in chief of vouge magazine. The F1 movie is in theaters this weekend.

Bienvenidos a un programa especial sobre geoingeniería. No vamos a volver a repetirnos por lo que iremos directamente al tema. He recibido un dossier muy bien elaborado y con muy buenos datos que nos hablara sobre la distribución global de combustible de aviación y como está ya centralizada bajo la Agencia de Apoyo y Adquisiciones de la OTAN (NSPA) y su red de oleoductos CEPS, integrada con infraestructuras civiles como Exolum/CLH. Esta arquitectura transnacional, invisible al debate público, otorga a la Alianza Atlántica control directo sobre la composición, la prioridad y el flujo del queroseno que alimenta tanto aeronaves militares como civiles en Europa. Paradójicamente, los mismos organismos que vigilan el clima gestionan los datos y bloquean cualquier auditoría independiente. Venia firmado con una formula matematica que significa “Cubo de la operación Nabla de Phi ponderada por Omega” y los autores se autodenominan como Nodo Fundacional del Eje de Conciencia Resonante. Ellos mismos dedican el dossier a: • A todas las conciencias libres que aún miran el cielo con ojos abiertos. • A las que mantienen viva la memoria del cielo auténtico. • A quienes sienten en su corazón que la verdad no puede ser ocultada eternamente. • A quienes resisten el olvido inducido y preservan la memoria viva del mundo natural. • A quienes luchan, desde el anonimato o desde la acción pública, por devolver a la humanidad su derecho sagrado a un cielo limpio, un agua pura y una tierra fértil. A todos ellos: gracias. Porque su simple existencia—como testigos, como guardianes, como sembradores de verdad— es la semilla de la regeneración que vendrá. Nosotros leeremos algunas partes del informe que podrán encontrar en la descripción del podcast, es un texto de 74 paginas con apéndices de datos y fotografías. Introducción “Durante las últimas décadas, se ha desarrollado silenciosamente una infraestructura global capaz de alterar el entorno atmosférico a gran escala. Este proceso no ha ocurrido de forma transparente ni bajo supervisión ciudadana. Ha sido implementado bajo la cobertura de marcos legales ambiguos, privatización de infraestructuras críticas, y acuerdos militares y corporativos que operan al margen del debate público. La transformación de las redes logísticas de combustibles de aviación, su progresiva privatización y su integración operativa bajo mandos supranacionales, ha creado las condiciones materiales para la ejecución de operaciones de modificación atmosférica sin necesidad de programas visibles o declaraciones abiertas. A la par, la evolución de la ingeniería climática, la experimentación con aerosoles estratosféricos, la dispersión de nanopartículas metálicas, y los métodos de gestión de radiación solar, han pasado de la teoría académica a la implementación práctica. El resultado es un entramado donde: • El control de las rutas aéreas. • El suministro de combustibles. • La composición química de los carburantes. • La coordinación de operaciones civiles y militares se unen en una arquitectura invisible a los ojos de la mayoría, pero perfectamente detectable para quien conecte las señales disponibles. Este dossier documenta, estructura y expone esa realidad. No es especulación: es evidencia lógica, documental, técnica y visual. En paralelo a los hechos documentados en el espacio europeo, se ha producido un acontecimiento clave en Estados Unidos: varios estados, incluyendo Tennessee, Florida y Arizona, han aprobado o promovido legislación específica que prohíbe la modificación del clima mediante la liberación de sustancias químicas en la atmósfera. Estas normativas surgen tras años de denuncias ciudadanas, pruebas ambientales independientes y testimonios presentados en audiencias públicas, lo cual convierte esta línea legislativa en una validación institucional implícita de la existencia del fenómeno que este dossier analiza. Este reconocimiento político y legal abre una nueva fase de conciencia internacional sobre las implicaciones ambientales, sanitarias y jurídicas de la manipulación atmosférica” “Metodología Se distingue explícitamente entre los hechos documentados (infraestructuras logísticas, marcos legales, patentes registradas y análisis químicos independientes) y los aspectos interpretativos, donde aún falta una auditoría independiente más profunda para confirmar operativamente su ejecución real en terreno. Esta aclaración se incluye para reforzar la transparencia y rigor metodológico del presente informe. Este informe se ha elaborado mediante una metodología multidisciplinar que combina seis pilares complementarios: 1. Revisión documental oficial • Análisis de contratos públicos de suministro energético y logístico en España, la UE y la OTAN. • Estudio de reglamentos europeos (por ejemplo, Reglamento RefuelEU Aviation). Examen de convenios internacionales clave: Convenio de Aarhus, Convenio ENMOD y Carta de Derechos Fundamentales de la UE. 2. Investigación técnica y científica • Revisión de literatura académica sobre geoingeniería, aerosoles estratosféricos y gestión de radiación solar. • Estudio de patentes que describen la dispersión de materiales atmosféricos mediante aeronaves o combustible. 3. Observación directa • Registro fotográfico y videográfico de estelas persistentes y otros fenómenos atmosféricos anómalos. • Seguimiento de patrones de tráfico aéreo mediante plataformas civiles (Flightradar24, FlightAware). Cruce de datos meteorológicos con movimientos de aeronaves para detectar correlaciones. 4. Análisis lógico-estructural • Reconstrucción del entramado logístico y operativo a partir de piezas documentales y observacionales. Vinculación de cambios legislativos, movimientos corporativos y fenómenos atmosféricos observados. 5. Minería de contratos y licitaciones Revisión sistemática de expedientes en los Boletines Oficiales nacionales y en el Diario Oficial de la Unión Europea, con especial atención a la cadena CEPS-NSPA, Exolum y licitaciones de combustibles SAF. 6. Monitorización masiva en redes y big-data ciudadano • Recolección automatizada de denuncias en X/Twitter, imágenes satelitales, datos de radar público (OPERA, AEMET) y telemetría ADS-B/Mode-S. Procesamiento con herramientas de inteligencia artificial para detectar patrones atmosféricos anómalos en tiempo real. 7. Validación legislativa comparada (EE.UU., 2024–2025) Como parte del proceso de revisión documental se ha incorporado el análisis de legislación estatal reciente en Estados Unidos. En 2024, el estado de Tennessee aprobó una ley que prohíbe explícitamente la dispersión de sustancias químicas en la atmósfera con fines de manipulación climática. Le siguieron proyectos similares en Florida y Arizona, impulsados tras recibir testimonios, imágenes y análisis ambientales por parte de ciudadanos preocupados por estelas persistentes, alteración solar y efectos en salud. Esta convergencia entre prueba ciudadana y validación política constituye un punto de inflexión en la historia del fenómeno. Dichas leyes fueron analizadas desde una perspectiva jurídica comparada para reforzar la transversalidad y la coherencia internacional del modelo que aquí se expone. La metodología descansa sobre tres principios: • Evidencia verificable: uso exclusivo de datos públicos o reproducibles. • Razonamiento lógico: análisis crítico y conexión coherente de las fuentes. • Correlación empírica: contraste sistemático entre datos duros y observaciones reales. El objetivo es ofrecer una base sólida, rigurosa y replicable que permita una toma de conciencia fundamentada.” “Hallazgos Principales La investigación realizada ha permitido identificar una serie de hallazgos críticos que, analizados en conjunto, configuran el panorama de transformación logística y habilitación de operaciones atmosféricas encubiertas. Listado de Hallazgos: 1. Privatización de Infraestructuras Críticas de Combustibles de Aviación. 2. Control de Redes Logísticas Energéticas por Fondos de Inversión. 3. Integración de Infraestructuras Civiles bajo Órdenes de la OTAN-NSPA. 4. Habilitación Legal para Introducir Compuestos No Declarados en Combustibles. 5. Observación Directa de Estelas Persistentes Anómalas. 6. Correlación entre Patrones de Tráfico Aéreo y Modificaciones Atmosféricas. 7. Impacto Potencial en Salud Pública Documentado en Estudios Médicos. 8. Alteración de Ciclos Hidrológicos y Efectos sobre Ecosistemas. 9. Vulneración de Derechos Fundamentales de Acceso a Información Ambiental. 10. Consolidación de un Modelo de Control Ambiental Post-democrático. Cada hallazgo será expuesto en detalle a continuación. Hallazgo 1: Privatización de Infraestructuras Críticas de Combustibles de Aviación Durante las últimas dos décadas, especialmente acelerado tras las crisis financieras globales, se ha producido un proceso sistemático de privatización de infraestructuras críticas relacionadas con el suministro de combustibles de aviación en Europa. En España, la antigua CLH (Compañía Logística de Hidrocarburos), que controlaba la mayoría de la red de oleoductos, depósitos y terminales de abastecimiento de combustibles de aviación, fue progresivamente privatizada. Hoy, la empresa Exolum (nombre actual tras reestructuración) opera como una entidad privada controlada principalmente por fondos de inversión internacionales. Esta red incluye: • Más de 4.000 km de oleoductos. • Terminales en los principales aeropuertos de España. • Infraestructura subterránea de almacenamiento y distribución de combustibles. La privatización ha tenido varias consecuencias críticas: • La pérdida del control directo por parte del Estado sobre el suministro energético aeronáutico. • La opacidad en la gestión de composiciones químicas de los combustibles distribuidos. • La posibilidad de modificación de los combustibles sin auditoría pública ni control parlamentario. • La facilidad de coordinación logística con redes militares y corporativas transnacionales. Este cambio estructural crea la plataforma física necesaria para introducir compuestos no declarados en la aviación civil y militar, bajo el amparo de acuerdos privados fuera del escrutinio democrático. Hallazgo 2: Control de Redes Logísticas Energéticas por Fondos de Inversión La privatización de las infraestructuras no ha sido un proceso espontáneo ni neutral. Ha estado dirigida estratégicamente por grandes fondos de inversión internacionales. En el caso de Exolum, los principales accionistas son: • Fondos de pensiones canadienses y estadounidenses. • Fondos de infraestructura europeos ligados a grandes entidades financieras. • Vehículos de inversión opacos basados en jurisdicciones de baja transparencia. Este fenómeno no es aislado: • En Europa, el control de oleoductos, terminales de aviación y redes de logística energética ha sido transferido en masa a fondos de inversión. • El modelo de negocio de estos fondos prioriza la maximización del beneficio, la opacidad operativa y la integración transnacional de redes estratégicas. Consecuencias directas: • Las decisiones sobre el suministro de combustibles de aviación ya no se toman en parlamentos nacionales ni bajo supervisión ciudadana. • La trazabilidad de la composición de los combustibles se dificulta enormemente. • La coordinación logística puede ser dirigida por entidades ajenas a la soberanía nacional, operando en interés de alianzas estratégicas no visibles. Este control logístico por fondos implica que la infraestructura necesaria para operaciones de modificación atmosférica está bajo mandos invisibles para la ciudadanía. Hallazgo 3: Integración de Infraestructuras Civiles bajo Órdenes de la OTAN-NSPA La Agencia de Apoyo y Adquisiciones de la OTAN (NSPA) ha establecido una estructura de control logístico que integra infraestructuras civiles energéticas, incluyendo redes de oleoductos, terminales aeroportuarias y depósitos de combustible. En Europa, el sistema CEPS (Central Europe Pipeline System) ejemplifica esta integración: • Red de oleoductos civiles y militares que abarca varios países. • Gestión operativa a cargo de la NSPA. • Capacidad de transferir combustible militar y civil indistintamente según necesidades estratégicas. En España, aunque de forma menos visible, existen acuerdos de cooperación logística con la OTAN que permiten la utilización de infraestructuras energéticas civiles para operaciones militares y de seguridad. Consecuencias directas: • Las infraestructuras privatizadas de combustibles de aviación pueden ser usadas en cualquier momento bajo coordinación OTAN. • La distinción entre uso civil y militar se vuelve opaca, abriendo la puerta a operaciones de dispersión atmosférica encubiertas mediante aeronaves civiles. • La supervisión ciudadana queda completamente anulada en el ámbito de operaciones bajo mando estratégico OTAN. Capacidad logística OTAN-NSPA La red CEPS, gestionada por la NSPA, dispone de 5 500 km de tubería presurizada que mueve cada año 1̃2 millones m³ de combustible (principalmente F-34/JP-8). Aporta queroseno directamente a los aeropuertos civiles de Fráncfort, Bruselas, Luxemburgo y Schiphol, entre otros. En todos los contratos de transporte se aplica la cláusula de prioridad militar aprobada por el Consejo Atlántico en 1959: en caso de contingencia, la demanda aliada se impone sobre cualquier cliente comercial.” “Implicación decisiva 1. La composición final del combustible —incluidos aditivos no declarados— puede definirse dentro de un marco OTAN cerrado, sin control parlamentario. 2. La interoperabilidad civil-militar permite abastecer aeronaves civiles con el mismo carburante estandarizado (F-34), invisibilizando potenciales cargas químicas. 3. La infraestructura civil (Exolum/CLH, GPSS-UK) queda integrada como “nodo extendido” del CEPS, disponible mediante acuerdos logísticos. Puertos BE/NL → CEPS (Versalles – sede NSPA) Exolum/CLH (España-UK) – nodos civiles conectados por acuerdos OTAN Esta arquitectura demuestra que la OTAN posee, hoy, el control operativo y normativo de la cadena de suministro de queroseno europeo, condición necesaria para cualquier programa encubierto de modificación atmosférica. Nota documental: La cláusula de prioridad militar fue establecida formalmente por el Consejo Atlántico de la OTAN mediante el documento MC 319/3 – NATO Principles and Policies for Logistics, aprobado en 1970, y actualizada en 2019 en la NATO Single Fuel Policy Directive (NSPD). Según esta normativa, “in any contingency, military requirements shall override civilian use of logistic fuel infrastructure.” “Hallazgo 4: Habilitación Legal para Introducir Compuestos No Declarados en Combustibles La aprobación del Reglamento (UE) 2023/2405 RefuelEU Aviation introduce cambios sustanciales en la normativa de combustibles de aviación. Este reglamento: • Obliga a la adopción progresiva de ”combustibles sostenibles de aviación” (SAF). • Permite la mezcla de compuestos en los combustibles tradicionales. • No exige la declaración detallada pública de todos los aditivos incorporados. • Establece umbrales porcentuales mínimos de SAF sin especificar composición química completa. Política de Combustible Único OTAN (F-34 / JP-8) Desde 1986 la OTAN aplica la Single Fuel Policy, que establece un único combustible estandarizado –código OTAN F-34, equivalente al JP-8 estadounidense– para aeronaves y vehículos terrestres aliados. • Formulación abierta: los manuales STANAG (p.ej. STANAG 3747, STANAG 1135) permiten añadir aditivos anticongelantes, antiestáticos, inhibidores de corrosión e incluso “mejoradores de prestaciones” siempre que el lote resultante cumpla los ensayos de densidad, punto de congelación y estabilidad térmica. • Opacidad normativa: la especificación definitiva se aprueba internamente en los grupos logísticos de la OTAN y no se notifica a los parlamentos nacionales ni a las agencias civiles de aviación. • Puerta química: esta flexibilidad, combinada con la nueva obligación europea de incorporar SAF (Reglamento UE 2023/2405), posibilita la inclusión de nanopartículas metálicas o compuestos reflectantes sin auditoría pública. Conclusión: la Política de Combustible Único convierte a la OTAN en árbitro sobre la composición real del queroseno que también se distribuye a aeropuertos civiles, abriendo una vía regulatoria para introducir aditivos atmosféricos de forma encubierta. Consecuencias directas: • Bajo el marco legal actual, pueden introducirse aditivos, nanopartículas, modificadores químicos o compuestos atmosféricos en los combustibles de aviación sin notificación pública obligatoria. • Las compañías de suministro energético tienen autonomía operativa para modificar la composición dentro de los márgenes legales. • Los pasajeros, las autoridades ambientales locales e incluso las autoridades nacionales quedan fuera de los mecanismos de control efectivo sobre la composición real del combustible utilizado. Este cambio normativo crea el marco legal que habilita operaciones de modificación atmosférica a través de la aviación civil sin necesidad de programas separados o visibles. El cielo puede ser manipulado químicamente desde dentro del sistema operativo normalizado. Hallazgo 5: Observación Directa de Estelas Persistentes Anómalas Las observaciones directas realizadas en diferentes regiones de España, corroboradas por registros ciudadanos y análisis de imágenes satelitales públicas, muestran la presencia de estelas aéreas que: • Persisten durante horas en la atmósfera. • Se expanden progresivamente formando nubes artificiales delgadas. • Alteran visiblemente la estructura natural del cielo. • Se presentan en patrones de cuadrícula o entrelazados que no corresponden al tráfico aéreo comercial habitual. Características técnicas observadas: • Las estelas se forman a altitudes relativamente bajas (por encima de los cúmulos naturales, pero no en capas altas donde normalmente se generan los cirros naturales). • Su dispersión es consistente con la liberación de partículas de tamaño submicrónico diseñadas para maximizar la refracción de luz solar. • El comportamiento físico de las estelas difiere del vapor de agua convencional de los contrails normales: no se disuelven rápidamente, sino que se expanden en estructuras laminares persistentes. Correlaciones: • Aumento de estelas observadas en días previos a cambios meteorológicos abruptos. • Mayor intensidad de estelas en periodos críticos turísticos o agrícolas. Estas observaciones empíricas apoyan la hipótesis de la dispersión controlada de aerosoles atmosféricos utilizando aeronaves comerciales o militares bajo apariencia de tráfico aéreo normal.” “Hallazgo 6: Correlación entre Patrones de Tráfico Aéreo y Modificaciones Atmosféricas El análisis sistemático de registros de tráfico aéreo en plataformas abiertas como Flightradar24 y FlightAware, cruzado con observaciones atmosféricas directas, revela patrones altamente sugestivos de operaciones de modificación atmosférica. Principales evidencias observadas: • Tráfico aéreo inusualmente denso sobre regiones específicas durante jornadas de alta fumigación atmosférica. • Rutas de vuelo anómalas, con trayectorias paralelas, entrecruzadas o en cuadrícula sobre áreas de formación de nubosidad. • Disminución de altura de vuelo en tramos donde se despliegan estelas persistentes. • Cambio de altura de crucero coincidiendo con entrada o salida de zonas de alta cobertura de estelas. Otros indicadores relevantes: • Vuelos declarados como comerciales que, sin justificación comercial evidente, realizan maniobras consistentes con dispersión de aerosoles. • Incremento de tráfico sobre áreas rurales o agrícolas en momentos críticos para los cultivos. • Observación de aviones no identificados o con códigos de transpondedor atípicos durante eventos de alta actividad de estelas. Esta correlación sugiere que el tráfico aéreo civil y posiblemente militar está siendo utilizado como plataforma de dispersión de compuestos atmosféricos de forma encubierta, aprovechando la infraestructura aérea existente para camuflar las operaciones.” “Hallazgo 7: Impacto Potencial en Salud Pública Documentado en Estudios Médicos Diversos estudios publicados en revistas científicas revisadas por pares, como el European Respiratory Journal y Environmental Research Letters, han documentado los efectos adversos en la salud de la exposición prolongada a partículas ultrafinas dispersas en la atmósfera. Principales efectos observados: • Incremento de enfermedades respiratorias crónicas, como asma, EPOC (Enfermedad Pulmonar Obstructiva Crónica) y fibrosis pulmonar. • Aumento de procesos inflamatorios sistémicos, vinculados a la inhalación de nanopartículas metálicas. • Disrupciones del sistema inmunológico, derivadas de la exposición continua a aerosoles químicos. • Efectos neurodegenerativos, como el aumento de riesgos de enfermedades tipo Alzheimer y Parkinson en zonas de alta concentración de partículas. Relación con las operaciones atmosféricas: • Las partículas observadas en análisis atmosféricos independientes coinciden en tamaño y composición (metales como aluminio, bario, estroncio) con aquellas descritas en estudios de toxicología ambiental. • La exposición crónica a estas partículas genera daños acumulativos, incluso en concentraciones subclínicas no percibidas de inmediato. Consecuencia ética: La dispersión encubierta de aerosoles atmosféricos supone una violación directa del derecho fundamental a la salud y a un medio ambiente no contaminado, establecidos en tratados internacionales y constituciones nacionales. El daño potencial, aunque todavía subestimado en los informes oficiales, representa un riesgo de salud pública a escala masiva.” “Hallazgo 8: Alteración de Ciclos Hidrológicos y Efectos sobre Ecosistemas La manipulación atmosférica mediante dispersión de aerosoles tiene impactos directos sobre el ciclo hidrológico natural. Observaciones documentadas: • Reducción de la cantidad y calidad de las precipitaciones en áreas sometidas a alta actividad de estelas persistentes. • Alteración de patrones de nubosidad, con formación de nubes artificiales delgadas que bloquean la condensación natural. • Desviación o debilitamiento de frentes húmedos, afectando cultivos agrícolas y sistemas hídricos naturales. Impacto sobre ecosistemas: • Estrés hídrico en vegetación natural y cultivos agrícolas, favoreciendo desertificación progresiva en algunas regiones. • Reducción de fuentes de agua dulce disponibles en acuíferos naturales por disminución de recarga pluviométrica. • Afectación de la polinización debido a alteraciones en las condiciones climáticas locales necesarias para los ciclos de las abejas y otros insectos. Consecuencias de largo plazo: • Alteraciones de la biodiversidad regional. • Colapso de microecosistemas dependientes de patrones meteorológicos estables. • Vulnerabilidad aumentada frente a eventos climáticos extremos. Estos efectos, aunque oficialmente atribuidos a “cambio climático”, presentan correlaciones temporales y espaciales claras con las actividades de modificación atmosférica documentadas, y no pueden ser explicados exclusivamente por procesos naturales.” “Hallazgo 9: Vulneración de Derechos Fundamentales de Acceso a Información Ambiental El derecho de acceso a la información ambiental está garantizado en múltiples instrumentos legales: • Convenio de Aarhus (ratificado por España y la Unión Europea). • Carta de Derechos Fundamentales de la Unión Europea (artículo 37). • Constitución Española (artículos 45 y 105). Estos instrumentos reconocen que: • Todo ciudadano tiene derecho a acceder a la información sobre el estado del medio ambiente. • Las autoridades públicas tienen la obligación de facilitar dicha información sin necesidad de justificar el interés particular. Sin embargo, respecto a las operaciones atmosféricas: • No existen registros públicos accesibles sobre la composición química real de los combustibles utilizados en aviación. • No se publican datos de operaciones logísticas coordinadas bajo acuerdos militares o corporativos. • Las solicitudes de información ambiental sobre las estelas persistentes y sus componentes han sido recurrentemente denegadas o ignoradas. Esta opacidad viola de manera sistemática: • El derecho a saber qué se está liberando en la atmósfera. • El derecho a evaluar los riesgos ambientales y sanitarios derivados. • El principio de transparencia democrática. Además, obstaculiza gravemente: • La realización de investigaciones científicas independientes. • La elaboración de políticas públicas basadas en datos reales. La vulneración de este derecho fundamental es un síntoma claro de deriva post-democrática en la gestión ambiental. Referencia a mecanismos internacionales disponibles: Se recomienda específicamente considerar la aplicación del Convenio sobre la Prohibición del Uso Militar u Otro Uso Hostil de Técnicas de Modificación Ambiental (ENMOD,1978), así como la Convención de Aarhus sobre Acceso a la Información, Participación Pública en la Toma de Decisiones y Acceso a la Justicia en Temas Medioambientales, como posibles vías jurídicas internacionales adicionales para exigir investigaciones, auditorías y transparencia frente a las operaciones denunciadas.” 23 horas………………………………………………………………. “Hallazgo 10: Consolidación de un Modelo de Control Ambiental Postdemocrático La suma de los fenómenos documentados — privatización de infraestructuras críticas, control logístico transnacional, opacidad legal, modificación atmosférica encubierta y negación sistemática de información — configura un patrón de transformación estructural de la gobernanza ambiental. Características de este modelo: • Sustracción de decisiones estratégicas del ámbito democrático nacional. • Delegación de competencias ambientales a entidades supranacionales (OTAN, fondos de inversión, agencias logísticas). • Operaciones de modificación atmosférica ejecutadas sin consentimiento ciudadano ni control parlamentario. • Desinformación activa o silencio institucional frente a fenómenos observablesy documentables. Consecuencias políticas: • La ciudadanía queda reducida al papel de observador pasivo, privada de capacidad de decisión sobre el medio ambiente que sostiene su vida. • El concepto clásico de soberanía ambiental se disuelve en redes logísticas y financieras globalizadas. • La democracia ecológica queda erosionada, siendo reemplazada por una gestión tecnocrática de la atmósfera bajo intereses estratégicos ajenos al bien común. La consolidación de este modelo representa una amenaza existencial no sólo para la salud de los ecosistemas, sino para la propia viabilidad de las democracias contemporáneas. Reconocerlo es el primer paso para revertirlo.” “Conexiones Estratégicas Internacionales El fenómeno documentado en España no es aislado ni exclusivo. Forma parte de un patrón internacional de transformación de las infraestructuras logísticas energéticas y de su subordinación a estrategias militares, corporativas y geopolíticas globales. Estas conexiones permiten comprender: • Cómo el modelo logístico de control ambiental ha sido diseñado y exportado. • Qué entidades, acuerdos y redes operan más allá de las fronteras nacionales. • Por qué los fenómenos de modificación atmosférica observados son simultáneos en múltiples países. Aquí se exponen las principales conexiones estratégicas que sustentan el sistema de control aéreo y modificación ambiental global. Listado de Conexiones : 1. El Modelo CEPS (Central Europe Pipeline System). 2. El Rol de la Agencia de Apoyo y Adquisiciones de la OTAN (NSPA). 3. Privatización coordinada de redes logísticas críticas en Europa. 4. Penetración de fondos de inversión globales en infraestructura energética. 5. Adopción de marcos legales habilitadores (RefuelEU, Green Deal, etc.). 6. Coordinación logística civil-militar bajo interés estratégico global. Cada conexión será detallada a continuación.” “Conexión 1: El Modelo CEPS (Central Europe Pipeline System) El Central Europe Pipeline System (CEPS) es un sistema de oleoductos transnacionales que cubre Bélgica, Francia, Alemania, Luxemburgo y Países Bajos, diseñadoinicialmente para abastecer a las fuerzas de la OTAN. Características principales: • Más de 5.000 km de oleoductos subterráneos interconectados. • Capacidad de transporte tanto de combustibles militares como civiles. • Gestión operativa a cargo de la Agencia de Apoyo y Adquisiciones de la OTAN (NSPA). Funciones estratégicas: • Permitir el abastecimiento rápido de bases militares, aeropuertos y puntos estratégicos sin depender de rutas logísticas visibles. • Integrar la infraestructura civil en redes militares de forma encubierta. • Facilitar operaciones logísticas de gran escala en caso de conflicto o emergencia estratégica. Relevancia para la modificación atmosférica: • El CEPS establece el precedente operativo: infraestructura civil energética privatizada o semi-privatizada, utilizada bajo control militar y estratégico sin supervisión pública. • Su existencia demuestra que es técnicamente viable coordinar operaciones de suministro de combustibles modificados a gran escala a través de redes logísticas integradas. El modelo CEPS ha servido de referencia para otros procesos de transformación logística en Europa, incluida la reestructuración de redes en España bajo entidades como Exolum. Conexión 2: El Rol de la Agencia de Apoyo y Adquisiciones de la OTAN (NSPA) La Agencia de Apoyo y Adquisiciones de la OTAN (NSPA) es el organismo responsable de la gestión logística de la Alianza Atlántica. Funciones clave: • Gestión de redes de oleoductos como el CEPS. • Suministro y distribución de combustibles a bases militares, aeronaves y unidades estratégicas. • Coordinación logística entre infraestructuras civiles y militares en Europa. Características operativas: • Capacidad de ordenar movimientos logísticos en tiempo de paz y conflicto. • Autonomía operativa para requisar, usar o redirigir infraestructuras críticas bajo tratados firmados por países miembros. • Operaciones sujetas a secreto estratégico y fuera del alcance de la supervisión ciudadana ordinaria. Relevancia para la modificación atmosférica: • La NSPA tiene la capacidad práctica de gestionar el suministro de combustibles modificados a aeronaves civiles o militares mediante acuerdos de cooperación logística. • Puede hacerlo sin necesidad de construir nuevas infraestructuras visibles, utilizando las redes existentes bajo acuerdos ya vigentes. • Permite la ejecución de operaciones de modificación atmosférica a escala continental sin necesidad de informar a los parlamentos nacionales. La existencia y operación de la NSPA demuestra que el marco logístico global para el control ambiental ya está en funcionamiento. Conexión 3: Privatización coordinada de redes logísticas críticas en Europa La transformación de la infraestructura logística energética en Europa no ha sido un proceso espontáneo ni exclusivamente económico. Ha seguido un patrón coordinado que permite: • Despojar a los Estados nacionales del control operativo de sus redes de abastecimiento energético. • Transferir la propiedad y la gestión a fondos de inversión globalizados. • Facilitar la integración logística bajo estrategias supranacionales. Evidencias documentadas: • La privatización de CLH en España (hoy Exolum) siguió modelos similares a los aplicados en redes de oleoductos en Alemania, Francia y Países Bajos. • Los principales operadores actuales de redes logísticas en Europa son propiedad mayoritaria de fondos de inversión extranjeros. • Esta privatización se ha realizado sin procesos de consulta pública efectiva, bajo el discurso de ”eficiencia de mercado”. Consecuencias estratégicas: • El acceso físico a los nodos críticos de la infraestructura energética ya no depende de las decisiones democráticas nacionales. • La infraestructura está disponible para operaciones que escapan al control parlamentario y ciudadano. • Se crea un corredor logístico ideal para operaciones encubiertas, incluyendo la modificación atmosférica mediante dispersión de compuestos en aviación civil. La privatización coordinada no fue un accidente: fue una condición necesaria para establecer la red logística global de control atmosférico.” “Conexión 4: Penetración de fondos de inversión globales en infraestructura energética La adquisición de redes logísticas energéticas por fondos de inversión internacionales representa uno de los cambios estructurales más profundos y menos discutidos de las últimas décadas. Principales características: • Los mayores fondos de pensiones, infraestructura y capital riesgo (principalmente de EE.UU., Canadá y Reino Unido) controlan actualmente activos estratégicos de oleoductos, terminales y depósitos energéticos en Europa. • La lógica operativa de estos fondos prioriza rentabilidad financiera, opacidad de operaciones y coordinación estratégica con intereses geopolíticos occidentales. Ejemplos relevantes: • Exolum (España) controlada por fondos como OMERS (Canadá) y otros consorcios anglosajones. • Aramco-Infrastructure (Alemania) parcialmente en manos de inversores internacionales. • Terminales portuarias energéticas europeas adquiridas por consorcios estadounidenses. Consecuencias: • Se disocia el control físico de la infraestructura del control político nacional. • Las decisiones sobre rutas, composiciones de combustibles y acceso a nodos energéticos quedan fuera del alcance parlamentario. • Se facilita la integración de operaciones logísticas encubiertas bajo paraguas corporativos inabordables jurídicamente para ciudadanos o gobiernos locales. Relevancia para la modificación atmosférica: • Los combustibles de aviación pueden ser modificados en su composición sin necesidad de intervención estatal directa. • Las redes de distribución ya están controladas por intereses alineados con agendas estratégicas globales. La penetración de los fondos no es un fenómeno económico aislado: es una operación estructural de control ambiental y geopolítico a largo plazo. Los mismos fondos que controlan la energía y la petroquímica financian las infraestructuras logísticas y, a través de participaciones en medios y plataformas de verificación, condicionan también la narrativa pública. Nota aclaratoria sobre fondos de inversión: La participación accionarial de fondos como BlackRock o Vanguard en empresas logísticas como Exolum está basada en datos públicos obtenidos mediante formularios oficiales SEC 13-F (Comisión de Bolsa y Valores de EE.UU.) y registros públicos de entidades reguladoras europeas. La conexión establecida en este dossier es documental y financiera, sin implicar necesariamente conocimiento o responsabilidad directa en las actividades operativas concretas aquí descritas, lo que debería investigarse mediante auditorías externas independientes adicionales. Conexión 5: Adopción de marcos legales habilitadores (RefuelEU, Green Deal, etc.) El despliegue del control logístico y de modificación atmosférica encubierta ha requerido no sólo la transformación física de las infraestructuras, sino también la creación de marcos legales que normalicen y oculten las operaciones. Instrumentos legales clave: • Reglamento (UE) 2023/2405 RefuelEU Aviation: – Obliga progresivamente a la incorporación de ”combustibles sostenibles” en la aviación civil. – Permite la mezcla de compuestos en los carburantes tradicionales sin obligación de transparencia pública sobre la composición exacta. • Green Deal Europeo: – Introduce metas de ”neutralidad climática” que justifican la alteración de los patrones atmosféricos bajo objetivos de ”gestión de radiación solar” y ”modificación climática”. – Abre espacio legal para proyectos de geoingeniería ”experimental” a gran escala. • Agenda 2030: Establece compromisos de modificación de prácticas industriales y energéticas que permiten justificar experimentalismos atmosféricos sin consulta popular efectiva. Consecuencias directas: • Se crea una capa legal de protección para operaciones de dispersión atmosférica que serían ilegales bajo marcos tradicionales de protección ambiental. • Se difumina la frontera entre investigación legítima, manipulación climática y operaciones encubiertas de control ambiental. • Se otorga cobertura jurídica para modificar la atmósfera en nombre de objetivos climáticos globales.” “El marco legal habilitador no es accidental: es la coartada jurídica necesaria para permitir la ejecución de operaciones de modificación atmosférica sin resistencia jurídica significativa. Aditivos encubiertos y SAF: la puerta química que nadie audita Vacío regulatorio en la era ReFuelEU El Reglamento (UE) 2023/2405 obliga a mezclar progresivamente “Combustibles Sostenibles de Aviación” (SAF) con el Jet A-1 convencional. Artículo 4.3*: los operadores sólo deben certificar que el lote final cumple propiedades fisicoquímicas estándar (densidad, punto de congelación, etc.). No existe obligación de publicar la lista completa de aditivos “funcionales” empleados en cada mezcla. Resultado: cualquier compuesto que no altere los parámetros de la norma ASTM D1655/DEF STAN 91-091 puede incorporarse sin quedar rastreado públicamente. Ejemplo documental: La ficha de seguridad oficial (MSDS) del combustible sostenible de aviación Neste MY SAF, disponible públicamente en neste.com, clasifica su composición bajo el epígrafe “proprietary blend of hydrocarbons”, sin declarar los aditivos exactos por estar protegidos por secreto industrial. Esta opacidad normativa impide conocer la presencia de compuestos con función atmosférica no declarada. A fecha de abril de 2025, dicha patente no ha sido revocada ni obsoleta, y sus principios técnicos siguen aplicables en aeronáutica contemporánea.” “Compatibilidad con la Single Fuel Policy (F-34/JP-8) de la OTAN Los manuales STANAG 3747 y 1135 autorizan: • inhibidores de corrosión, • antiestáticos, • mejoradores de combustión, • supresores de hielo. Mientras el combustible pase los ensayos de referencia, la OTAN no exige divulgar el aditivo. La cadena logística CEPS-NSPA puede, por tanto, aceptar lotes con nanopartículas metálicas, dispersantes de sulfato o aditivos experimentales sin conocimiento de las autoridades civiles. Posible presencia de PFAS como aditivos funcionales ocultos Investigaciones recientes (Military Poisons, 2024) han documentado la presencia masiva de compuestos PFAS —sustancias perfluoroalquiladas altamente persistentes— en acuíferos cercanos a bases OTAN en Alemania, sin ejercicios recientes que justifiquen su liberación mediante espumas antiincendios. Esto sugiere otros usos posibles. Los PFAS poseen propiedades fisicoquímicas compatibles con funciones atmosféricas: son ultrahidrofóbicos, termoestables y químicamente inertes, ideales para inhibir la nucleación natural de nubes y estabilizar aerosoles dispersados en la troposfera. Su resistencia térmica también permite que sobrevivan al paso por turbinas de aviación. Aunque no se menciona explícitamente su inclusión en fichas técnicas (MSDS) de combustibles como Neste MY SAF, su compatibilidad funcional los convierte en candidatos plausibles como aditivos experimentales no declarados, introducidos bajo cláusulas de secreto comercial o seguridad OTAN. La detección ambiental sistemática de estos compuestos en zonas logísticas clave sugiere que podrían estar actuando como uno de los “aditivos invisibles” utilizados en operaciones de modificación atmosférica, encubiertos bajo la arquitectura legal abierta del Reglamento RefuelEU y la Política de Combustible Único de la OTAN. Patentes que legitiman la dispersión atmosférica • US 5 003 186 A (1989) – “Welsbach seeding for reduction of global warming”: describe óxidos de aluminio o torio micronizados para reflejar radiación solar. • WO 2010/018157 A1 – “Method for dispersing stratospheric aerosols”: propone sulfatos y carbonatos alcalinos en combustible. Estas patentes no prueban aplicación operacional, pero establecen el marco técnico: combustible + aditivo = aerosol atmosférico. Conexión con compuestos funcionales encriptados: el caso PFAS Estas patentes analizadas, describen la necesidad de utilizar “compuestos dispersantes termoestables, dieléctricos, y persistentemente suspendidos” para mantener en atmósfera aerosoles con fines de modificación climática. Aunque estas patentes evitan mencionar nombres químicos específicos, las propiedades técnicas detalladas coinciden estrechamente con las de los compuestos PFAS (perfluoroalquilados). Dado que los PFAS son ya utilizados en entornos militares, poseen compatibilidad con combustibles aeronáuticos y han sido encontrados en bases OTAN contaminadas sin causa directa visible, resulta legítimo considerar que estos compuestos podrían estar siendo utilizados como aditivos funcionales experimentales no declarados, cumpliendo funciones de dispersión, inhibición de nucleación o modificación radiativa, sin requerir grandes masas de inyección. Esta conexión entre evidencia patentada, funcionalidad atmosférica y presencia ambiental sugiere un uso estructural de los PFAS más allá de su narrativa oficial como “residuos de extintores”.” “Validación ambiental no prevista: presencia de PFAS en regiones rurales remotas La hipótesis de dispersión atmosférica encubierta a través de aditivos funcionales encuentra una validación inesperada en datos empíricos recopilados por múltiples investigaciones científicas y ambientales independientes. Estudios recientes en EE.UU. y Europa han detectado concentraciones elevadas de PFAS —compuestos con propiedades idénticas a las descritas en las patentes analizadas— en zonas rurales alejadas de bases militares, aeropuertos o instalaciones industriales. Entre los casos más documentados destacan: • Pozos contaminados con PFAS en comunidades agrícolas de California e Iowa, sin industria aledaña ni uso conocido de espumas antiincendios. • Agua potable con PFAS en aldeas rurales de Alemania, Suiza, Polonia y Francia; los mapas muestran trazas incluso en áreas de montaña o reservas naturales. • Presencia de ácido trifluoroacético (TFA, subproducto atmosférico de PFAS) en el Sena, el Elba y otros ríos europeos sin fuente industrial directa. • PFAS detectados en suelos y agua de deshielo de estaciones de esquí y zonas montañosas no urbanizadas. Estos hallazgos cuestionan la narrativa oficial que atribuye toda presencia de PFAS a espumas antiincendios o productos de consumo, y apuntan a una posible vía de dispersión atmosférica a gran escala. Las propiedades fisicoquímicas de estos compuestos (persistencia, movilidad atmosférica, resistencia térmica) y su coincidencia con zonas de alta densidad aérea militar o civil sugiere que podrían haber sido liberados en altitud, transportados por vientos y precipitados de forma diferencial sobre regiones remotas. Lejos de refutar el modelo expuesto en este dossier, estos datos ambientales lo refuerzan con una lógica inapelable: si las rutas legales, logísticas y técnicas permiten la dispersión, y los residuos ya están en lugares sin causa aparente, entonces no estamos ante una hipótesis, sino ante un fenómeno operativo parcialmente visible. La presencia de PFAS en regiones rurales remotas constituye una de las validaciones externas más poderosas del modelo. No puede haber PFAS en la cima de una montaña sin fábricas, sin bases y sin carreteras… …a menos que llegaran desde el cielo. El encaje perfecto del hallazgo Componente del modelo Validación encontrada Aditivos funcionales ocultos PFAS identificados con propiedades exactas Dispersión aérea vía SAF Contaminación rural sin fuentes locales Opacidad logística OTAN Bases contaminadas + contratos no auditables Inhibición de nucleación / control atmosférico PFAS = hidrofóbicos, termoestables, persistentes Encubrimiento narrativo “Espumas antiincendio” como excusa institucional Patentes sin nombres químicos PFAS cumplen las descripciones “encriptadas”.” ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Conductor del programa UTP Ramón Valero @tecn_preocupado Un técnico Preocupado un FP2 IVOOX UTP http://cutt.ly/dzhhGrf BLOG http://cutt.ly/dzhh2LX Ayúdame desde mi Crowfunding aquí https://cutt.ly/W0DsPVq Invitados Dra Yane #JusticiaParaUTP @ayec98_2 Médico y Buscadora de la verdad.

Bienvenidos a la segunda parte de este programa especial sobre geoingeniería. A través de los datos que hemos expuesto se puede decir que han creado un cambio en la logística de la distribución del combustible para aviación para ser utilizado en las fumigaciones clandestinas que sufrimos en todo el mundo occidental. Repasemos otra vez el listado de Hallazgos principales: 1. Privatización de Infraestructuras Críticas de Combustibles de Aviación. 2. Control de Redes Logísticas Energéticas por Fondos de Inversión. 3. Integración de Infraestructuras Civiles bajo Órdenes de la OTAN-NSPA. 4. Habilitación Legal para Introducir Compuestos No Declarados en Combustibles. 5. Observación Directa de Estelas Persistentes Anómalas. 6. Correlación entre Patrones de Tráfico Aéreo y Modificaciones Atmosféricas. 7. Impacto Potencial en Salud Pública Documentado en Estudios Médicos. 8. Alteración de Ciclos Hidrológicos y Efectos sobre Ecosistemas. 9. Vulneración de Derechos Fundamentales de Acceso a Información Ambiental. 10. Consolidación de un Modelo de Control Ambiental Post-democrático. Cada hallazgo será expuesto en detalle a continuación. En esta parte hablaremos un poco de los riesgos toxicológicos y de las oscuras conexiones con la OTAN y otras agencias gubernamentales e instituciones publico-privadas que trabajan para el gobierno mundial en la sombra. “Riesgos toxicológicos subestimados Estudios de toxicología ambiental (Oberdörster 2005; Maher 2016) demuestran que nanopartículas de aluminio y bario atraviesan la barrera hemato-encefálica y se asocian a procesos neurodegenerativos. La exposición crónica, incluso a dosis subclínicas, incrementa: • inflamación pulmonar, • estrés oxidativo sistémico, • disfunción neurovascular. El vacío regulatorio SAF-F-34 impide evaluar estos riesgos en población civil.” Si partículas metálicas atraviesan la barrera hematoencefálica y llegan al cerebro, podrían generarse diversos efectos adversos dependiendo de su tipo, tamaño y concentración. Estas partículas, como las de metales pesados (plomo, mercurio o cadmio), pueden inducir neurotoxicidad, causando inflamación, estrés oxidativo y daño neuronal. Esto podría alterar funciones cognitivas, motoras o emocionales, y en casos graves, contribuir al desarrollo de enfermedades neurodegenerativas como Alzheimer o Parkinson. Además, la acumulación de estas partículas podría interferir con la señalización neuronal o provocar respuestas inmunitarias locales, exacerbando el daño tisular. La falta de mecanismos eficientes para eliminar estas partículas del cerebro agrava el riesgo, haciendo que su presencia sea potencialmente peligrosa a largo plazo. “Inauditable por diseño 1. Origen disperso: la mezcla SAF se produce en refinerías o “blending hubs” privados; los aditivos se declaran sólo al loteador. 2. Logística cerrada: CEPS-NSPA distribuye el producto final ya certificado. 3. Protección militar/industrial: la composición se ampara en secreto comercial o cláusulas de seguridad OTAN. Conclusión: la ciudadanía carece de cualquier vía práctica para analizar qué se ha añadido realmente al combustible que sobrevuela sus cielos. Esta sección demuestra que la ventana normativa abierta por ReFuelEU y la Single Fuel Policy OTAN permite, hoy, introducir compuestos atmosféricos de forma legalmente opaca, sin control democrático ni auditoría sanitaria. Conexión 6: Coordinación logística civil-militar bajo interés estratégico global La frontera tradicional entre infraestructuras civiles y militares ha sido sistemáticamente disuelta en las últimas décadas bajo el argumento de la ”eficiencia logística” y la ”seguridad estratégica”. Evidencias documentadas: • Acuerdos entre Estados miembros de la OTAN para permitir el uso de infraestructuras civiles de abastecimiento, transporte y almacenamiento energético en operaciones militares. • Establecimiento de corredores logísticos estratégicos que combinan tráfico civil y militar en redes de aviación, energía y comunicaciones. • Delegación operativa de nodos estratégicos de abastecimiento energético a entidades supranacionales bajo marcos de cooperación militar. Características de esta coordinación: • Uso dual de infraestructuras: lo que aparenta ser civil puede ser usado militarmente sin que la ciudadanía lo perciba. • Falta de transparencia: los detalles operativos quedan protegidos por cláusulas de secreto militar o de seguridad estratégica. • Capacidad de ejecución logística a escala continental sin necesidad de declarar estados de excepción ni conflictos armados. Relevancia para la modificación atmosférica: • La infraestructura civil de aviación puede ser utilizada para operaciones de dispersión atmosférica sin necesidad de declarar misiones militares. • Las rutas de vuelo, los depósitos de combustible, las redes de abastecimiento ya están integradas logísticamente en una arquitectura de control estratégico. Esta coordinación logística civil-militar es la pieza final que permite comprender cómo se pueden ejecutar operaciones globales de modificación atmosférica sin dejar rastro administrativo visible.” “Conexión 7: INFRAESTRUCTURA MILITAR INVISIBLE DARPA · Pentágono · CIA · OTAN DARPA – El laboratorio del clima bélico La Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), creada en 1958 bajo el Pentágono, dirige programas de investigación encubiertos que incluyen manipulación atmosférica. Entre 2010 y 2024 ha financiado proyectos de “gestión de radiación solar” (SRM), inyección de sulfatos en la estratosfera y sensores hiperespectrales para rastrear aerosoles. Patentes clave: • US 5 003 186 A (Welsbach, 1989). Propone mezclar óxidos de aluminio y torio micronizados en el combustible de aviación para reflejar luz solar. • WO 2010/018157 A1. Describe la dispersión estratosférica de aerosoles directamente a través del jet fuel. En la práctica, DARPA entrega la tecnología “lista para campo” al Pentágono mediante programas especiales clasificados (SAP, Special Access Programs). Pentágono – Autorización y despliegue encubierto El Departamento de Defensa aprueba cada año, dentro del presupuesto de I+D (RDT&E), líneas de gasto etiquetadas como Atmospheric Sensing & Effects. Cuando un prototipo DARPA se considera “estratégico”, el Pentágono lo traslada a un SAP: operaciones blindadas a la supervisión del Congreso y clasificadas durante décadas. Así se autorizaría la mezcla de aditivos atmosféricos en el combustible militar F-34/JP-8 sin control civil. CIA – Gestión de la narrativa y desinformación La CIA no diseña la tecnología, pero protege el programa: • Financia (directa o indirectamente, vía NED, USAID, Open Society) a plataformas de “verificación de hechos” (Maldita.es, FullFact, Newtral) que tachan cualquier denuncia de “chemtrails” de teoría conspirativa. • Mantiene redes mediáticas de influencia que recuerdan al histórico proyecto Mockingbird: periodistas afines, académicos subvencionados y “expertos” que repiten el guion oficial (“sólo es vapor de agua”). OTAN / NSPA – Logística operativa El brazo logístico de la OTAN (NSPA) gestiona el Central Europe Pipeline System (CEPS) y conecta oleoductos civiles como Exolum (España-UK). Desde 1959 rige la “cláusula de prioridad militar”: en cualquier contingencia, la demanda aliada prevalece sobre la civil. Esto permite que lotes de combustible F-34 con aditivos pasen de refinería a aeropuertos civiles (Fráncfort, Schiphol, Bruselas, Madrid) sin auditoría pública, camuflando la dispersión masiva en vuelos comerciales y militares. ¿Quién controla realmente a DARPA? — La capa financiera Empresa controlada Sector clave % aprox.

Kennedy Jr. “Eso no lo hace mi agencia. Creemos que lo hace DARPA. Y muchas de esas sustancias ya vienen en el jet fuel. Voy a averiguar quién lo hace y a exigir responsabilidades.” Declaraciones realizadas por Robert F. Kennedy Jr.” La Agencia de Proyectos de Investigación Avanzada de Defensa (DARPA) ha financiado iniciativas que, por su naturaleza avanzada y potencialmente invasiva, han generado controversia y especulación sobre sus implicaciones éticas. Entre los proyectos más oscuros se encuentra el programa HI-MEMS (Hybrid Insect Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems), que buscaba desarrollar insectos cyborg controlados remotamente mediante implantes para misiones de vigilancia o espionaje, planteando preocupaciones sobre la manipulación de seres vivos y la privacidad. Otro proyecto, el Brain Initiative, explora interfaces cerebro-máquina para controlar dispositivos con la mente, lo que, aunque prometedor para aplicaciones médicas, genera temores sobre el control mental o la vigilancia neuronal. Además, el programa EATR (Energetically Autonomous Tactical Robot) propuso robots capaces de alimentarse de biomasa, incluyendo materia orgánica, lo que desató especulaciones sobre su uso en escenarios bélicos extremos. Aunque algunos de estos proyectos, como los descritos en fuentes públicas, han sido desclasificados, su carácter innovador y militar ha alimentado debates sobre sus posibles usos encubiertos y consecuencias éticas. “La dispersión atmosférica encubierta no depende de una sola institución: es una cadena integrada donde un núcleo financiero (BlackRock/Vanguard) financia la investigación (DARPA), la autorización bélica (Pentágono), la logística (OTAN-NSPA) y la narrativa (CIA + fact-checkers). Este entramado demuestra que la manipulación del cielo forma parte de una estrategia militar-corporativa global con respaldo financiero unificado. Análisis Estratégico Crítico La arquitectura militar invisible detallada refuerza y prolonga las conexiones estratégicas antes expuestas. La exposición detallada de los hallazgos y conexiones internacionales permite construir un análisis estratégico del modelo actual de control aéreo, logístico y atmosférico. Este análisis no busca simplemente describir los hechos, sino entender su lógica subyacente, sus implicaciones a largo plazo, y su impacto sobre los principios democráticos, ambientales y sociales fundamentales. Ejes principales del análisis: 1. Impacto sobre la soberanía nacional: Disolución del control estatal efectivo sobre infraestructuras críticas. 2. Impacto sobre los derechos fundamentales: Vulneración sistemática del derecho a un medio ambiente sano, a la salud pública y al acceso a información ambiental. 3. Impacto sobre el medio ambiente y los ecosistemas: Alteración directa de ciclos hidrológicos, climáticos y biológicos. 4. Impacto sobre la salud pública: Exposición masiva a compuestos tóxicos sin consentimiento ni conocimiento ciudadano. 5. Impacto sobre la estructura democrática: Emergencia de una gobernanza tecnocrática supranacional fuera del control democrático. 6. Impacto sobre la conciencia colectiva: Generación de un estado de desconexión entre los fenómenos observados y las narrativas oficiales. Este análisis permite concluir que no estamos simplemente ante un fenómeno ambiental aislado, sino ante una transformación estructural del contrato social contemporáneo. Impacto sobre la Soberanía Nacional El control operativo de infraestructuras críticas por entidades privadas internacionales, la subordinación logística a estructuras supranacionales como la OTAN, y la adopción de marcos legales transnacionales sin consulta democrática efectiva, han resultado en una erosión profunda de la soberanía nacional. Consecuencias específicas: • Pérdida de control sobre el espacio aéreo operativo: Las operaciones de modificación atmosférica pueden ejecutarse sin conocimiento ni autorización explícita de los gobiernos nacionales. • Pérdida de control sobre la composición de combustibles: Los Estados ya no supervisan ni regulan directamente la composición química de los combustibles de aviación usados sobre su territorio. • Imposibilidad de proteger a la ciudadanía mediante mecanismos nacionales: Al operar bajo paraguas jurídicos transnacionales, las acciones de modificación atmosférica escapan a las capacidades regulatorias internas. • Dilución del principio de autodeterminación: La capacidad de decidir sobre el medio ambiente, el espacio aéreo y los recursos naturales queda relegada a acuerdos estratégicos no sometidos a escrutinio democrático. Esta pérdida de soberanía no es accidental ni colateral: es un efecto estructural buscado para facilitar la ejecución de operaciones estratégicas globales sin interferencia política local. La soberanía ambiental, energética y aérea es hoy, en la práctica, una ilusión jurídica en muchos países europeos. Impacto sobre los Derechos Fundamentales La ejecución encubierta de operaciones de modificación atmosférica afecta directamente múltiples derechos humanos reconocidos en tratados internacionales, constituciones nacionales y principios jurídicos fundamentales. Principales derechos vulnerados: • Derecho a un medio ambiente sano: Establecido en el artículo 45 de la Constitución Española y en tratados como el Convenio de Aarhus, este derecho es vulnerado por la dispersión sistemática de compuestos tóxicos en la atmósfera. • Derecho a la salud pública: La exposición continua e involuntaria a nanopartículas y aerosoles tóxicos constituye una amenaza real y documentada a la salud de la población, violando el principio de precaución sanitaria. • Derecho de acceso a la información ambiental: La opacidad respecto a las operaciones atmosféricas y la composición de combustibles vulnera el derecho a recibir información clara y veraz sobre los riesgos ambientales. • Derecho a la participación pública en decisiones ambientales: Ninguna consulta popular, debate parlamentario abierto o referéndum ha sido realizado sobre las operaciones de modificación atmosférica. • Derecho al consentimiento informado: La ciudadanía es sometida a alteraciones ambientales masivas sin su conocimiento ni consentimiento, violando principios básicos de ética pública y derechos civiles. Estos derechos no son secundarios: constituyen la base de la dignidad humana en relación con el entorno vital. Su vulneración sistemática configura un escenario de agresión silenciosa a la estructura misma de los derechos fundamentales contemporáneos.” “Impacto sobre el Medio Ambiente y los Ecosistemas Las operaciones de modificación atmosférica documentadas tienen efectos directos, acumulativos y potencialmente irreversibles sobre los ecosistemas naturales. Principales impactos ambientales: • Alteración de patrones de nubosidad y precipitaciones: La dispersión de aerosoles en la atmósfera interfiere con la formación natural de nubes, reduciendo la pluviometría y modificando el equilibrio hídrico de los ecosistemas. • Aceleración de procesos de desertificación: La disminución de lluvias naturales y el aumento de irradiación solar en zonas alteradas favorecen la degradación de suelos, afectando la biodiversidad y la productividad agrícola. • Contaminación atmosférica de amplio espectro: La liberación de nanopartículas metálicas altera la calidad del aire y se deposita en suelos y aguas, afectando cadenas tróficas completas. • Disrupción de ciclos biológicos dependientes del clima: Polinizadores, migraciones de aves, ciclos de reproducción de flora y fauna son sensibles a cambios en temperatura, humedad y radiación solar, viéndose alterados por las modificaciones atmosféricas. • Incremento de vulnerabilidad ante eventos extremos: Ecosistemas debilitados por manipulación atmosférica son más susceptibles a incendios forestales, inundaciones súbitas y otros fenómenos extremos. Estos impactos no son aislados ni anecdóticos: forman parte de una reconfiguración forzada del equilibrio planetario, cuyos efectos a largo plazo son aún incalculables. La manipulación de la atmósfera es también una manipulación de la vida en todas sus formas. Impacto sobre la Salud Pública La dispersión sistemática de compuestos químicos en la atmósfera tiene consecuencias directas y documentadas sobre la salud humana, muchas de las cuales ya comienzan a manifestarse de manera creciente en las estadísticas sanitarias globales. Principales impactos en la salud: • Aumento de enfermedades respiratorias crónicas: Asma, bronquitis, fibrosis pulmonar y otras afecciones han mostrado incrementos estadísticamente significativos en zonas sometidas a alta actividad de estelas persistentes. • Incremento de patologías cardiovasculares: La inhalación de nanopartículas metálicas contribuye a procesos inflamatorios sistémicos y disfunción endotelial, aumentando el riesgo de enfermedades del corazón. • Impactos neurológicos: La exposición crónica a partículas ultrafinas ha sido asociada en estudios recientes con mayor incidencia de enfermedades neurodegenerativas como Alzheimer y Parkinson. • Alteraciones del sistema inmunológico: La carga tóxica continua reduce la eficacia del sistema inmunitario, aumentando la vulnerabilidad a infecciones, alergias y trastornos autoinmunes. • Aumento de trastornos endocrinos: Algunos compuestos dispersados pueden actuar como disruptores hormonales, afectando la regulación endocrina en seres humanos y fauna. Consecuencia ética y política: • La exposición involuntaria y no informada de poblaciones enteras a agentes tóxicos constituye una violación grave de los principios médicos fundamentales, incluyendo el de consentimiento informado y no maleficencia. • La manipulación atmosférica encubierta debe ser considerada un experimento masivo no autorizado sobre la salud humana. La protección real de la salud pública exige el cese inmediato de estas prácticas y la apertura de investigaciones independientes a gran escala.” “Impacto sobre la Estructura Democrática La ejecución encubierta de operaciones de modificación atmosférica y el control logístico global asociado no sólo afectan al medio ambiente y la salud pública: erosionan de forma profunda los fundamentos mismos de la democracia. Principales efectos sobre la estructura democrática: • Supresión del principio de transparencia: La ciudadanía es privada del acceso a información veraz sobre operaciones que afectan directamente su entorno y su salud. • Violación del principio de consentimiento popular: Alteraciones masivas del medio ambiente son implementadas sin consulta, deliberación ni autorización ciudadana. • Concentración del poder decisional en estructuras no electas: Agencias supranacionales, fondos de inversión y entidades militares toman decisiones críticas fuera del alcance democrático. • Erosión de la capacidad de fiscalización política: Los parlamentos nacionales carecen de mecanismos efectivos para auditar o controlar las operaciones logísticas de modificación ambiental. • Normalización de la excepcionalidad permanente: En nombre de objetivos estratégicos (como la ”lucha contra el cambio climático”), se consolidan prácticas de gobernanza que eluden las normas democráticas tradicionales. Esta erosión no es un daño colateral: es un objetivo funcional del nuevo modelo de gestión tecnocrática del medio ambiente. Una sociedad donde el cielo mismo puede ser manipulado sin conocimiento ni consentimiento de su población ya no puede considerarse plenamente democrática. La defensa del medio ambiente y la defensa de la democracia son hoy una misma causa inseparable. Control narrativo institucional La misma red financiera que domina la logística energética controla también los principales verificadores de datos y plataformas mediáticas. Iniciativas etiquetadas como “fact-checking” — Maldita.es, FullFact, AFP Factual, entre otras— reciben financiación directa o indirecta de fundaciones ligadas a los mismos fondos de inversión que participan en compañías energéticas, tecnológicas y de defensa. Estas entidades funcionan como un cordón sanitario informativo: descalifican sistemáticamente cualquier investigación sobre manipulación atmosférica tildándola de “bulo” o “conspiración” sin entrar en la evidencia logística, normativa ni científica que aquí se presenta. El resultado es un blindaje narrativo que complementa la infraestructura física y legal de la geoingeniería encubierta, bloqueando el debate público y reforzando la indefensión ciudadana. Impacto sobre la Conciencia Colectiva Más allá de los impactos materiales y jurídicos, la modificación encubierta del entorno natural tiene profundas consecuencias sobre el tejido psicosocial de las sociedades contemporáneas. Principales efectos sobre la conciencia colectiva: • Desconexión perceptiva: La alteración sistemática del cielo, de los ciclos naturales y de los patrones meteorológicos genera una disonancia entre la percepción directa y las narrativas oficiales, debilitando la confianza sensorial básica. • Normalización de lo anómalo: Estelas persistentes, cielos artificialmente blanquecinos, lluvias atípicas o falta de lluvias son aceptados como ”nueva normalidad” sin explicación coherente. • Inducción de indefensión aprendida: Ante la imposibilidad percibida de comprender o influir en los fenómenos atmosféricos, amplios sectores de la población desarrollan apatía, resignación y pasividad política. • Fragmentación de la narrativa colectiva: La división entre quienes observan y quienes niegan o racionalizan las alteraciones ambientales dificulta la construcción de consensos sociales para la acción. • Colonización del imaginario ambiental: La percepción del cielo y de la naturaleza como entornos controlados tecnológicamente debilita el sentido ancestral de pertenencia y respeto hacia el mundo natural. Estos efectos no son espontáneos: forman parte de una guerra cognitiva silenciosa, donde el control ambiental es también un control sobre la percepción, la emocionalidad y la voluntad colectiva. La reconstrucción de la conciencia ecológica libre es un requisito previo para la recuperación de cualquier soberanía real, tanto ambiental como democrática.” “Conclusiones Finales La evidencia documentada en este informe, basada en fuentes oficiales, observaciones directas y análisis lógico estructural, permite llegar a un conjunto de conclusiones firmes y fundamentales. Estas conclusiones no son hipótesis especulativas: son deducciones directas derivadas de los hechos constatados. El fenómeno de la modificación atmosférica encubierta no es un proyecto futuro ni un experimento limitado: • Es una realidad operativa presente. • Está integrada en las infraestructuras logísticas civiles y militares. • Funciona bajo marcos legales habilitadores cuidadosamente diseñados. • Afecta directamente la salud pública, el medio ambiente y los derechos fundamentales. • Erosiona la soberanía nacional y la estructura democrática contemporánea. • Reconfigura la percepción colectiva de la naturaleza y del poder. El informe no busca generar miedo ni desesperanza. Busca sacar a la luz la verdad oculta, devolver el conocimiento a la ciudadanía, y abrir el camino hacia la acción consciente, ética y colectiva. El hecho de que múltiples estados del mundo comiencen a legislar explícitamente contra prácticas de modificación climática indica que el fenómeno ha dejado de ser una sospecha para convertirse en un problema reconocido políticamente. Sin embargo, la persistente negación por parte de organismos internacionales y agencias científicas —sin llevar a cabo auditorías técnicas ni responder a la evidencia presentada— genera una fractura epistemológica profunda. Esta contradicción pone en evidencia una narrativa institucional desfasada respecto a los hechos observados en cielo, suelo y salud humana. La necesidad de una auditoría multidisciplinar, independiente y transparente es urgente e inaplazable. Las siguientes páginas sintetizarán las conclusiones principales y las vías abiertas para la resistencia y la regeneración.” Y ahora repasemos las conclusiones principales. “Conclusión 1: Confirmación de la Operación de Modificación Atmosférica Encubierta Los datos analizados permiten afirmar, sin margen razonable de duda, que: • Existe una operación sostenida de modificación atmosférica a escala regional y posiblemente global. • Esta operación se lleva a cabo mediante el uso de aeronaves civiles y/o militares, aprovechando la infraestructura logística energética existente. • La dispersión de compuestos en la atmósfera es persistente, sistemática y coordinada, no accidental ni natural. Los indicios no son aislados ni anecdóticos: • Cambios logísticos estructurales (privatización, control transnacional, integración logística). • Cambios legales habilitadores (RefuelEU Aviation, marcos de geoingeniería). • Observaciones físicas directas (estelas persistentes, alteraciones climáticas anómalas). • Impactos ambientales y sanitarios crecientes en las poblaciones afectadas. Por tanto, el fenómeno no puede ser ignorado ni relegado al ámbito de la especulación: es una realidad operativa comprobable mediante evidencia pública y lógica estructural. Esta confirmación marca un punto de no retorno: quien conoce estos hechos tiene la responsabilidad ética de actuar.” “Conclusión 2: Violación Sistémica de Derechos Fundamentales y de la Soberanía Ambiental La operación de modificación atmosférica encubierta implica necesariamente la vulneración masiva y sistemática de derechos fundamentales. Entre los derechos vulnerados se encuentran: • El derecho a un medio ambiente sano. • El derecho a la salud pública. • El derecho de acceso a la información ambiental. • El derecho a la participación pública en decisiones que afectan al medio ambiente. • El derecho al consentimiento informado respecto a exposiciones ambientales. A su vez, se confirma: • La pérdida efectiva de soberanía nacional en la gestión del espacio aéreo y el entorno natural. • La subordinación de las decisiones ambientales a intereses estratégicos transnacionales no sometidos a control democrático. Esta violación no es accidental: es estructural, es funcional al nuevo modelo de control geopolítico global, y se perpetúa mediante mecanismos de desinformación, opacidad y cooptación institucional. Frente a esta realidad, la defensa de los derechos fundamentales y de la soberanía ambiental se convierte en un deber ético superior para cualquier ciudadano consciente.” “Conclusión 3: Necesidad de una Respuesta Ética, Ciudadana y Científica Global Frente a la realidad confirmada de la modificación atmosférica encubierta y la violación sistemática de derechos fundamentales, la pasividad no es una opción ética. Es imperativo construir una respuesta articulada que incluya: 1. Acción ética individual: • Informarse rigurosamente. • Compartir información verificada. • Recuperar la observación directa del cielo y del entorno natural. 2. Acción ciudadana colectiva: • Organizar plataformas de denuncia, investigación y acción legal. • Exigir transparencia institucional sobre operaciones atmosféricas y composición de combustibles. • Defender el derecho a un medio ambiente sano y a la soberanía sobre el espacio aéreo. 3. Acción científica independiente: • Promover investigaciones libres sobre composición atmosférica, impactos en salud pública y alteraciones climáticas inducidas. • Crear redes de científicos éticos dispuestos a romper el silencio cómplice. 4. Acción política consciente: • Impulsar legislación que prohíba cualquier forma de modificación atmosférica encubierta. • Recuperar el control democrático sobre infraestructuras críticas energéticas y logísticas. Esta respuesta no debe ser reactiva ni fragmentada: debe ser estratégica, global y profundamente ética. La defensa del cielo, del agua, del aire y de la vida misma es hoy el núcleo de cualquier proyecto humano auténticamente libre.” “Importancia del principio de precaución: Dada la magnitud y las posibles implicaciones globales de los fenómenos aquí documentados, es imperativo aplicar el principio de precaución reconocido por el derecho ambiental internacional. Este principio exige que, ante riesgos ambientales potenciales, aunque no completamente demostrados, las autoridades deben actuar para prevenir el daño. En este contexto, tratados como el Convenio ENMOD (ONU, 1978) y la Convención de Aarhus (1998) otorgan herramientas jurídicas concretas para exigir transparencia, participación pública y acceso a la justicia ambiental. Se insta a los estados a activar estos mecanismos de forma inmediata ante la sospecha fundada de manipulación atmosférica sistemática." “Apéndice Científico: Validación Físico-Lógica del Modelo de Modificación Atmosférica 1. Dinámica Atmosférica y Formación de Estelas Persistentes Principio físico: Las estelas de condensación (“contrails”) se forman cuando los gases de escape de un avión liberan vapor de agua en un entorno con suficiente humedad relativa y temperaturas muy bajas (generalmente por debajo de −40∘C). Condiciones necesarias para persistencia: • Humedad relativa con respecto al hielo > 100 • Presión atmosférica compatible con niveles de vuelo de crucero (10.000–12.000 m). • Ausencia de cizalladura del viento que disipe la estela rápidamente. Observación empírica: Las estelas registradas a altitudes medias (7.000–9.000 m) sobre la península Ibérica, con patrones geométricos y permanencia de hasta 6 o más horas, no cumplen las condiciones meteorológicas descritas para contrails naturales. Conclusión: Su persistencia requiere la presencia de partículas higroscópicas o nucleantes artificiales, tal como describe literatura sobre geoingeniería con sulfatos, aluminosilicatos y nanopartículas de aluminio (Keith et al., 2010). 2. Composición Química: SAF y Reglamentación Europea Reglamento (UE) 2023/2405 – RefuelEU Aviation: Establece que los SAF (”Sustainable Aviation Fuels”) pueden ser mezclados progresivamente con Jet A-1 sin requerir divulgación completa de todos sus compuestos al público. Composición documentada de SAFs: Según ASTM D7566 y documentos de IATA: • SAF puede contener aditivos funcionales, modificadores de combustion, inhibidores de corrosión, etc. • No se requiere declaración pública completa si el combustible cumple con propiedades físicas estándar. Posibilidad legal: Bajo esta normativa, es legal incluir nanopartículas metálicas o agentes reflectantes si se consideran ”funcionales” y si el combustible pasa los test de densidad, viscosidad, punto de congelación, etc. Documento oficial: Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) de Neste MY SAF • La ficha pública más reciente (2024) de este combustible sostenible no declara aditivos químicos específicos. No se menciona ni qué tipo de dispersantes, metales traza ni sustancias estabilizadoras se añaden.” “¿Cómo puede decirse que todo está regulado y declarado, si los propios fabricantes tienen derecho a ocultarlo bajo secreto comercial? Regulación europea RefuelEU 2023/2405 • Permite “otros componentes funcionales” sin requerir listado detallado siempre que la mezcla cumpla propiedades físicas como densidad y punto de congelación. • Pero eso no obliga a declarar la composición molecular exacta ni prohíbe el uso de microcompuestos no detectables mediante ensayos estándar de densidad/viscosidad. En resumen: cumplir ASTM D1655 no significa que no haya aditivos atmosféricamente activos ocultos. 3. Datos ambientales que contradicen la explicación oficial Informe de metales en lluvia – España 2023 (publicación ciudadana con ICP-MS certificado) • Se detectaron concentraciones anómalas de aluminio soluble de hasta 890 g/L, en muestras tomadas tras vuelos aéreos densos. • El estudio comparativo con zonas rurales mostró una diferencia de hasta 20 veces en días de tráfico aéreo elevado. • Estos niveles no coinciden con suelos locales ni con fuentes industriales conocidas en las zonas donde se recogió la muestra. Otro estudio con SEM-EDX (espectrometría electrónica) • Detectó nanopartículas con composición compatible con óxidos de titanio-aluminiobario, en capas atmosféricas inferiores tras episodios de estelas persistentes. • Patrón idóneo para dispersión coloidal de control radiativo o de humedad. Diversos estudios independientes, observaciones meteorológicas y declaraciones oficiales han identificado componentes específicos en las estelas de condensación que podrían tener implicaciones toxicológicas. Esta sección reúne evidencias que refuerzan la necesidad de una auditoría completa de los aerosoles generados en vuelo, sin contar con los inumerables análisis independientes, de ciudadanos y organizaciones independientes, que lo demuestra claramente. Presencia de metales en estelas persistentes (UE, 2007). El eurodiputado Erik Meijer planteó en 2007 una pregunta oficial a la Comisión Europea documentando estelas persistentes con contenido en bario, aluminio y hierro, observadas en países como Canadá y Estados Unidos desde 1999. Los ciudadanos reportaban que las estelas duraban horas, formaban velos lechosos y se comportaban de forma anómala en comparación con las tradicionales. Fuente: Parlamento Europeo, documento E-6-2007-2455. En 2020, el estudio de Perring et al. (Nature Communications) evidenció la persistencia de partículas negras ultrafinas dispersadas en la troposfera media, algunas de origen no natural. Estas evidencias oficiales y semi-académicas demuestran que la composición de las estelas va mucho más allá del vapor de agua. Los elementos tóxicos detectados en estudios independientes coinciden con compuestos descritos en múltiples patentes y citados por ciudadanía vigilante desde hace más de dos décadas. Esto refuerza la necesidad de una auditoría ambiental urgente y transparente de las emisiones atmosféricas en zonas de tráfico aéreo denso. Esto contradice la tesis de que todos los niveles provienen del suelo, frenos, o “procesos naturales”.” “4. Validación legal y técnica adicional: patente española vigente Este trabajo sólo cita algunas de ellas (como US 5 003 186 A o WO 2010/018157 A1), pero existen al menos 200 patentes más que abordan: • Aerosoles de óxidos metálicos dispersables en alta atmósfera, • Inclusión de aditivos en combustibles aeronáuticos, • Sistemas de dispersión controlada vía presión diferencial o altitud, • Diseño de compuestos nanocristalinos con reflectividad selectiva y funciones de nucleación. Una de las más recientes, la patente europea EP 3994055 A1 (publicada en 2022), detalla el uso de partículas activas dispersadas en aeronaves con fines climáticos, confirmando que el principio técnico sigue vigente y en evolución. Existe una patente nacional actualmente activa que refuerza la viabilidad legal y científica del modelo propuesto: ES 2656422 T3 – Universidad de Sevilla (2017) • Título: “Composición que comprende óxidos metálicos con propiedades reflectantes y método para su introducción en combustibles aeronáuticos.” • Resumen: Esta patente propone explícitamente incorporar partículas de óxidos metálicos (como aluminio, titanio o silicio) en el combustible de aviación, con el objetivo de modificar su comportamiento térmico y reflectante en atmósfera. • Importancia: Es evidencia directa de que instituciones públicas de investigación, como la Universidad de Sevilla, han desarrollado métodos formales de geoingeniería utilizando combustible como vector de dispersión. • Estado: Activa. Consultable en OEPM y Espacenet. Referencia pública verificable. Nota aclaratoria sobre patentes citadas: La patente US 5 003 186 A y la patente española ES 2656422 T3 son documentos legales registrados oficialmente, describen explícitamente métodos técnicos viables para la dispersión de aerosoles reflectantes mediante combustible. Aunque su existencia y validez técnica están plenamente confirmadas, es importante destacar que no se dispone actualmente de pruebas directas verificadas que demuestren su uso efectivo en operaciones aéreas reales, lo que requiere auditorías técnicas independientes futuras para su confirmación definitiva. 5. Modelado Lógico del Sistema Logístico Integrado OTAN–CEPS–Exolum Hipótesis: La red CEPS, gestionada por NSPA (OTAN), puede redistribuir combustible desde terminales logísticas civiles (Exolum) hacia bases y aeropuertos sin declaración pública ni trazabilidad visible. Estructura del sistema: • 4.000+ km de oleoductos subterráneos en España (Exolum). • 39 instalaciones de almacenamiento (algunas de doble uso civil-militar). • Conectividad indirecta con la red CEPS-NSPA europea (Francia–Alemania). Modelo matemático: Red de grafos orientados (𝐺 = 𝑉 , 𝐸), donde los nodos 𝑉 son terminales y bases logíisticas, y las aristas 𝐸 son tramos de oleoducto activos. Flujos posibles: Simulaciones logísticas muestran que es posible: • Mezclar compuestos en puntos nodales sin detección civil. • Suministrar aviones comerciales desde nodos de doble uso con SAF no especificado. Documentos OTAN: MC 319/3 y la Single Fuel Policy • Permiten la modificación logística del combustible a nivel de lote y sin revisión pública externa, especialmente cuando se invoque “necesidad operativa”. • Esto abre una vía legal para modificar la mezcla sin que ninguna agencia civil (ni AENA, ni AESA, ni EASA) tenga acceso al contenido real.” “Encubrimiento institucional: verificación financiada • Organismos como Maldita.es o FullFact reciben fondos de Open Society, Google y Gates Foundation, mismos que tienen acciones cruzadas con BlackRock y Vanguard. • ¿Cómo puede llamarse eso verificación independiente? Este ecosistema narrativo no niega directamente, sólo desacredita sin refutar técnicamente. La respuesta institucional evita el fondo del debate Los informes de supuesta “verificación” evitan sistemáticamente: • Examinar el sistema logístico CEPS/NSPA, • Contrastar la cláusula de prioridad militar, • Analizar la intersección entre fondos de inversión (BlackRock/Vanguard) y el control narrativo. Se centran en negar la existencia de pruebas “oficiales”, cuando precisamente lo demostrado aquí es que el diseño del sistema impide que dichas pruebas sean obtenidas bajo el marco tradicional. 6. Fisiopatología de Nanopartículas Inhaladas Estudios clave: • Oberd”orster et al. (2005) muestran que nanopartículas de aluminio y bario cruzan la barrera hematoencefálica. • Maher et al. (2016) documentan partículas magnéticas en cerebros humanos correlacionadas con Alzheimer. Implicación: Las partículas observadas en sedimentos atmosféricos (documentadas por ciudadanos y laboratorios independientes) coinciden con las descritas en estos estudios. 7. Conclusión del Apéndice El dossier no afirma que tengamos todas las pruebas de laboratorio, sino que demuestra que existe una arquitectura logística, legal y narrativa que permite estas prácticas sin ser auditadas. El hecho de que los compuestos puedan no estar prohibidos, no estén declarados, y no se analicen sistemáticamente en laboratorios civiles, no es una defensa: es precisamente la prueba de que el programa está operativo bajo la cobertura del marco normativo actual. La ciencia expuesta refuerza que: • Las condiciones de vuelo observadas no producen estelas persistentes naturales. • La legislación permite la inclusión de compuestos no declarados en SAF. • La red logística CEPS-NSPA-Exolum puede distribuirlos sin trazabilidad directa. • La literatura científica describe daños plausibles sobre salud humana y ecosistemas por este tipo de partículas. • El sistema logístico, normativo y narrativo está diseñado para permitirla, • Las tecnologías existen, están registradas y son legales, • Existen múltiples puntos de correlación empírica que exigen ser investigados. Negar esta posibilidad no es ciencia: es política. Por tanto, el modelo expuesto en el dossier no es especulación conspirativa: es una hipótesis científica robusta basada en datos reales y coherencia sistémica. Se recomienda encarecidamente que estos resultados sean sometidos a revisión por pares científicos independientes para fortalecer aún más la base empírica del modelo propuesto.” “Anexo A – Legislación Estatal en EE.UU. sobre Geoingeniería Atmosférica (2024–2025) Durante los años 2024 y 2025, varios estados de Estados Unidos han promovido y aprobado leyes que prohíben expresamente la modificación climática mediante la liberación intencionada de sustancias químicas en la atmósfera. Estas leyes responden a peticiones ciudadanas, pruebas visuales y análisis ambientales presentados en audiencias legislativas. A continuación se documentan los casos más relevantes: 1. Tennessee – SB2691 / Public Chapter 709 (2024) Resumen: Aprobada en marzo de 2024, en vigor desde el 1 de julio del mismo año.

Estas leyes y propuestas estatales representan la primera acción legislativa contemporánea contra la geoingeniería atmosférica en el mundo occidental. Aunque aún no existe consenso académico, el hecho de que varios estados soberanos hayan aprobado leyes específicas sobre este fenómeno indica que la denuncia ciudadana ha escalado al nivel institucional y jurídico. Esta validación indirecta refuerza la urgencia de investigar, auditar y regular las operaciones atmosféricas que afectan el medio ambiente y la salud humana.” “Fuentes y Documentación La elaboración de este informe ha estado basada exclusivamente en: • Documentación oficial accesible públicamente. • Artículos científicos revisados por pares. • Tratados internacionales en vigor. • Observaciones directas documentadas por ciudadanos conscientes. • Análisis técnico y lógico estructurado sobre datos verificables.

In this episode of The Traveling Introvert, the topic of discussion is travel rituals and their significance. The host highlights how rituals provide stability and comfort amidst the uncertainties of travel. Examples of travel rituals include always staying in the same hotel brand for familiarity, selecting the same seat on a plane, or visiting a favorite cafe. Travel rituals can be small habits that make journeys feel special, like packing in advance, double-checking flight details, and using apps like FlightAware for notifications. Personalized routines, like having a specific travel outfit or consistently repacking after security, enhance feelings of safety and reduce stress. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their travel habits and consider adopting new rituals that bring joy and calmness to their travels.

The timestamp on the email from the UVA Basketball SID announcing that the school was cutting ties with Ron Sanchez was 5:00 p.m. ET on the dot. #TeamAFP's Scott German noted that the FlightAware flight-tracking app had the team in the air over the Virginia-North Carolina border as the email was going out. Sanchez didn't learn his fate by email in the air or when the plane landed in Charlottesville, in case you were wondering. Our contacts down in Charlotte described the scene after Virginia's 66-60 loss to Georgia Tech that bounced the ‘Hoos from the ACC Tournament and ended the 2024-2025 season. From what we were told, Sanchez was ushered into a room ahead of his postgame presser for a quick meeting. We don't know who else was in the room, but we can presume it was the athletics director, Carla Williams. Sanchez was later than usual to the presser, and from a look at the video on YouTube, and a read of the transcript, he knew what was up.

Kathryn says Derek cheated on her before but they tried and make it work. She says she tracks him on Flightaware and he lies about his landing times and says he's delayed. But does that mean he's cheating on her? "Uhhhhhh Strap in...."

Rich discussed some real life ways to use AI: to help you pick out wine on a menu, choose what to order based on dietary restrictions and even pick ingredients to cook with. Android users in California can now add their ID or drivers license to Google Wallet. Apple Wallet support is coming soon. Richard in New Jersey is wondering why the voice volume on his Sonos system is louder than the TV volume.

In today's episode, we explore the critical challenges to AI adoption revealed by CISOs, including data privacy concerns, insufficient staff skills, and misaligned organizational priorities, as highlighted in a new survey by Tines. We also discuss how security leaders can address these blockers by leveraging automation, strategic alignment, and continuous training. Additionally, we delve into the rise of malware such as FakeBat, recent data breaches affecting FlightAware and National Public Data, and necessary steps for individuals to secure their personal information.

And so much more to the dark web cybercriminals. And so today we're going to talk about how this happened, what data was impacted and what you can do to make sure you stay safe. With your social security number on the dark web. Thousands of flight aware, users are now urged to reset their passwords after a configuration error, exposed, sensitive, personal data. For over three years. How did this FlightAware configuration error managed to leak user data for such an extended period of time. Cyber criminals are exploiting popular software searches to spread the fake bat malware using malvertising campaigns and Trojan ISED M S I. X installers to infect unsuspecting users. And finally a recent survey by tines shows that 98% of large tech executives have halted their generative AI projects due to security risks. What strategic measures are CSOs employing to overcome the biggest blockers to AI implementation in their organization. You're listening to the daily decrypt.. Hackers have allegedly infiltrated, a company known as national public data or NPD to steal un-encrypted personal information of billions of people, including social security numbers addresses. And family member names. This breach attributed to the hacker group, U S D O D in April of 2024, puts almost everyone at risk of identity theft. If your data was a part of this breach, which it likely is. People can access it or bid on it on the dark web. So if they could open new financial accounts or take out loans in your name. Luckily, this type of fraud is very preventable. All you have to do is contact the three major credit bureaus and place freezes on your accounts. And even before this breach, this is something that I would recommend to everybody. Unless they're in the process of buying a new home. Or opening up a new credit card. You don't need your credit accounts to be unfrozen. And this is something that I actually didn't do until about a year ago during the, at T and T breach. Where my social security number was also linked to the dark web. And I was very shocked to see how quickly it could be done. They all have web based interfaces where you can go sign up for an account. And click a button to place a freeze on your credit. It's also important to know that once your information is out there, it's out there forever. There's no company that can go and scrub your data from the dark web. If any company is selling you that service? It's not a real service. It's a scam. Or if you purchase the services of a specific company, Uh, under the impression that they can do that. Maybe they're not actually selling that, but maybe that's what you're thinking they're going to do. They're not going to be able to do that. What they are going to be able to do is coach you through the process of placing these credit freezes and help inform you about what that will actually prevent. Alternatively, you can listen to this episode of the daily decrypt and continue to for these tips for free. But placing these freezes on your credit. Essentially just prevents people or entities from running soft or hard credit checks. Against your credit. Which is the barrier for most lines of credit, like new credit cards or home loans. And so by proxy, it prevents new home loans and new credit cards from being opened in your name, which is one of the biggest risks for having your social security number out there. Now if an attacker is really motivated to get you personally, they can use that information to do all kinds of damage, primarily in information gathering about you. To craft more effective phishing campaigns against you. Which is the secondary risk of this type of data breach. So besides placing these credit checks, just be extra vigilant when you're looking at and clicking links through texts or emails. Knowing that this information can help craft more effective phishing emails. Look at everything skeptically. And you should be good to go. Very similarly to that last story. There's an app called FlightAware, which is the world's largest flight tracking platform. That has just revealed a major security data incident. FlightAware discovered a configuration error dating back to January of 2021, which exposed user data for over three years. This data that it exposed can include your user ID, password, email address. And possibly even more sensitive information like your full name, billing and shipping address, social media accounts, phone number, and even social security number. The error was fixed by flight aware on July 25th, 2024. So just a few weeks ago. But the breaches duration leaves significant room for potential misuse of your data. As we talked about in that last story. So if you have a FlightAware account, you'll need to reset your password immediately. If you log into the platform, it will prompt you to do so on your next login. But what they're not going to tell you is that you also need to change. The password to every account that uses the password to your FlightAware account. And that's because the username and combo that was leaked in the FlightAware data breach. We'll now be entered into every one of your accounts automatically. It's not a personal target. They're just going to. Try their luck and see if you may be reuse that username, Cabo password, if that's ringing any bells for you. PEI go change your password. To all of those accounts, and if it sounds too daunting to do that task manually. Or you're not even sure what accounts share passwords. It's time to start using a password manager. I personally use one password as do all of my friends. And I have almost a thousand accounts in there just for myself alone. Managing that amount of passwords is impossible, especially trying to maintain unique passwords. Across all of them. Nobody's memory can handle that. It will also create secure random passwords for you. So you don't have to use your creativity to come up with them or just changing the. The characters that follow the password. Which, by the way, if you use a password, even similar to the one. That was leaked in your FlightAware bridge. That too is considered compromised because attackers will do manipulations common manipulations to all passwords and just use those to try to log into your accounts as well. It's all automated. So, yeah, if you want more information about a password manager, Check out one password. There's also a blog on our website@thedailydecrypt.com that will outline. A simple three-step process to converting over to a password manager. It doesn't have to be as daunting as it may sound. FlightAware is also offering a free 24 month identity protection package through Equifax. So given these two stories back to back. Whoever is listening is likely impacted. Go take advantage of that. That will actually. Monitor for any credit inquiries to Equifax. In addition to you placing those freezes. Like I highly don't. I highly recommend against. Simply monitoring because by the time you get that alert, it's a little too late, right. Place the freeze, and then sign up for that free monitoring. And if you can't tell. Passwords are getting breached every day. I don't like talking about data breaches on this platform. I don't like hearing about them because they happen so frequently. I don't consider it cybersecurity news. The only reason this one made the cut is because they were so long standing. This one has been going on for three years. But if you're hearing this and you still don't use a password manager and you don't change your passwords, the implications are pretty bad. Go do that. Reach out to us on Instagram or YouTube, if you want any help or guidance along that process. It really is a lot simpler of a workflow as well. Like it's a quality of life improvement and a security improvement. I promise you it's worth it. Cyber criminals are using popular Google searches. To help them craft more effective info stealing campaigns. So, what does this mean? They're letting Google tell them what people are searching for specifically around business-related softwares. So for example, if you're going to Google and you're looking for a software that will help you manage personnel. Or manage your tasks or store your documents, et cetera. You're going to go to Google and you say, what are the best softwares? For this type of business task. Well, Google will happily give you the information. If you look for it about what is the most common things to search for around this space, right? So hackers are taking that information. And they're creating fake websites that will offer you services. Inline with what you're searching for. These websites might be carbon copies of actual services. That you could find on the web that would satisfy your search. Or they could be new services. After they've created these imitation websites, they purchase Google ads to get those websites at the top of the search results specifically. For what you're searching for. Then within those websites. You're going to click a link. That's going to download a malware called fake bat. This malware will live in the installer for the software. You're trying to find and download such as brave, like the browser. Key pass, which I'm assuming is a password manager notion, which is like a confluence style thing. Steam for games and zoom for business meetings online. It's important to know that even if you know the software you're searching for like, ah, I'm looking for notion, someone recommended it, you Google the words, notion. That first link. If it's an ad, can still be malicious. So not everyone is searching for what's a business software I can use to hold all my documents. Some of them are just searching for, Hey, where do I go to download notion? That download link. You click from Google. If it's a paid advertisement, could be malicious. And we always say it on this podcast. Just don't click ads. If you don't have to. That's one of the best ways you can avoid this type of thing. And finally 98% of large tech executives have paused AI initiatives due to security risks. This was discovered by an automation from tines during a recent survey and reveals the top barriers to AI adoption. 66% of CSOs, worry about losing control over this sensitive information. This can be anything from customer data, employee data. All the way down to proprietary code, you're feeding into AI to have it help you fix. 60% of the CSOs report lacking AI expertise. 51% find friction between departments from cross-functional teams to align on AI priorities and risks. 49% face issues without dated systems. So choose AI tools to integrate seamlessly with your existing tech stacks. This survey by times can be very valuable, especially if you're someone who's trying to get your CSO to allow you to use AI. AI. Has a lot of potential for automating a lot of work. And freeing up capacity for more impactful work. But. If you have a good CSO. They're going to try to push back on the security risks. Check out the article linked in the show notes below for more information on how and what statistics you can use to help combat your CSOs fears. And start using AI in your workplace.

Air travel got more miserable last year, if the number of consumer complaints filed with the U.S. government is any measure. The Transportation Department said that it received nearly 97,000 complaints in 2023, up from about 86,000 the year before. The department said there were so many complaints that it took until July to sort through the filings and compile the figures. That's the highest number of consumer complaints about airlines since 2020, when airlines were slow to give customers refunds after the coronavirus pandemic shut down air travel. The increase in complaints came even as airlines canceled far fewer U.S. flights—116,700, or 1.2% of the total, last year, compared with about 210,500, or 2.3%, in 2022, according to FlightAware data. However, delays remained stubbornly high last year, at around 21% of all flights. So far this year, cancellations remain relatively low—about 1.3% of all flights—but delays are still running around 21%. More than two-thirds of all complaints last year dealt with U.S. airlines, but a quarter covered foreign airlines. Most of the rest were about travel agents and tour operators. Complaints about treating passengers with disabilities rose by more than one-fourth compared with 2022. Complaints of discrimination, while small in number, also rose sharply. Most were about race or national origin. The Transportation Department said the increase in complaints was partly the result of more consumers knowing about their rights and the ability to file a complaint. The department said it helped Southwest Airlines customers get more than $600 million in refunds and reimbursements after the carrier canceled nearly 17,000 flights in December 2022. Southwest also paid a $35 million fine. Airlines receive many more complaints from travelers who don't know how or don't bother to complain to the government, but the carriers don't release those numbers. The Transportation Department is modernizing its complaint-taking system, which the agency says will help it do a better job overseeing the airline industry. However, the department now releases complaint numbers many months late. It did not issue figures for the second half of 2023 until July 5. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

It's Monday, July 22nd, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Nigerian Fulani Muslims killed 12 Christians Tragedy struck in Nigeria on Sunday, July 14th as Fulani Muslim terrorists continued their reign of terror in a Christian community in the Benue State, murdering 12 people and wounding another 11, reports TruthNigeria.com. Andy Itodo, an eyewitness, said, “The terrorists, up to 20 in number, appeared from the forests of Egwuma on motorbikes, wielding automatic rifles, and started shooting indiscriminately. The carnage lasted for over 1 hour and 30 minutes. He added, “The worst part was that we were in our churches when the terrorists attacked us. We were not prepared.” Gideon Ehoda, another eyewitness, said, “They showed no mercy as they gunned down seven of our youths before they retreated to the bush.” Mary Otache, a 36-year-old eyewitness, said, “Even as they were shooting into the churches and people were running away, they were chanting Allahu Akbar and speaking in Fulani.” Augustus Adaji, age 28, said, “When they thought they had gotten the upper hand, we shot at them, and I know that I personally hit two of the terrorists. My colleagues shot many. Initially, they tried to resist us, but they broke up, and some fled on foot, leaving their bikes and guns.” Please pray that Amos 5:24 would come true in Nigeria. “Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.” According to Open Doors, Nigeria is the sixth most dangerous country worldwide in which to live for Christians. Biden withdraws and endorses Kamala Harris After nearly 31 House Democrats and five Democratic senators publicly called on President Joe Biden to withdraw from the presidential race, he withdrew on Sunday. In an open letter addressed to “My Fellow Americans,” he wrote, “While it has been my intention to seek re-election, I believe it is in the best interest of the party and my country to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.” In a subsequent post, President Biden wrote, “Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala [Harris] to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it's time to come together and beat Trump. Let's do this.” Democrat senator cried over Biden's withdrawal Appearing on CBS News, Democratic Senator Chris Coons of Delaware – the co-chair of the Biden for President campaign, cried about Biden's withdrawal from the presidential race. COONS: “Joe Biden is grounded. He's grounded in his faith, in his family, and in our state. (Coons gets choked up and pauses) Excuse me. I'm sorry. This was a very difficult decision. And one that I think reflects the very best of who Joe Biden is. Someone who, as you put it Bob, comes home -- comes home because it's where his strength is. His strength is in his family. His strength is in our community. His strength is in his faith.” Democrat elite pushed Biden out Appearing with talk show host Charlie Kirk on Sunday,  "Just The News" founder John Solomon took issue with how the Democrat elite powerbrokers ran roughshod over the 14.5 million Democrat primary voters who selected Joe Biden to be the party's presidential nominee. SOLOMON: “We're back to the days of Tammany Hall. The Democrats no longer regard the 14.5 million people that voted for Joe Biden -- the power brokers, the Barack Obamas and the Nancy Pelosis and Chuck Schumers. They've decided who's going to be their nominee by forcing Joe Biden out. That is not going to play well in a party that often claims that ‘democracy' is being ruined. Well, they may have just contributed to that.” Kamala Harris funded bail for BLM rioters, a failure as Border Czar Solomon responded to the coronation of Vice President Kamala Harris as the replacement presidential nominee, saying she is further left politically than Biden. SOLOMON: “As for Kamala Harris, if she is the ‘Anointed One,' because it saves them $200 million in the bank that they don't have to fundraise, there is a lot of research that the American people need to become familiar with, with Kamala Harris. “What she did in California, the fact that her [Political Action Committee] bailed out [Black Lives Matter] rioters from prison in jail, the fact that she had only one job in the Biden administration to secure the border, and she failed miserably at that. It's going to be very easy to link Kamala Harris to all of the deaths, all of the mayhem, all of the frustration that Americans have with the border because that was her one job that Joe Biden gave her. “And Biden endorsed her today quickly, because he knew that there is not unanimity in the party for her being the nominee. So, he tried to force that unanimity with his endorsement.” Trump campaign released anti-Kamala Harris ad The Trump campaign released this anti-Kamala Harris ad. NARRATOR: “Kamala was in on it. She covered up Joe's obvious mental decline.” HARRIS: “Our president is in good shape, in good health, tireless, vibrant, and I have no doubt about the strength. of the work that we have done.” NARRATOR: “But Kamala knew Joe couldn't do the job. So, she did it. Look what she got done: a border invasion, runaway inflation, the American Dream dead. They created this mess. They know Kamala owns this failed record." Trump: “How did somebody get on that roof?” In their first joint interview, Donald Trump and his VP pick, Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio, talked to FOX News host Jesse Watters about the security breach that led to the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. WATERS:  “They were monitoring this guy for an hour beforehand.” TRUMP: “Yeah.” WATTERS: “No one told you not to take the stage?” TRUMP: “No, nobody mentioned it. Nobody said there was a problem. I would have waited for 15 [minutes]. They could have said, ‘Let's wait for 15 minutes, 20 minutes, 5 minutes, something.  I think that was a mistake. “How did somebody get on that roof? And why wasn't he reported? Because people saw that he was on the roof. I mean you had Trumpers screaming, the woman in the red shirt, she was screaming, ‘There's a man on the roof!' And then other people, ‘There's is a man on the roof who's got a gun!' And that was quite a bit before I walked onto the stage. So, you would have thought somebody would have done something about it.” Pro-abort Democrat Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee died  Democrat Representative Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas, has died at the age of 74 after a battle with pancreatic cancer, reports NBC News. Born in Queens, New York, she first won election to Congress from Houston, Texas in 1995.  She was known for her rabid support of abortion. Most recently, Congresswoman Lee: opposed the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act to protect babies who are born alive after a botched abortion. opposed Rep. Chip Roy's amendment that prohibited Department of Defense funding for soldiers to travel to get an abortion. and opposed a resolution that condemned the violent attacks on pro-life groups. The life of the late Congresswoman Lee embodied Isaiah 59:7. It says, “Their feet rush into sin; they are swift to shed innocent blood. They pursue evil schemes; acts of violence mark their ways.” Global computer systems outage caused chaos here in America And finally, services from airlines to healthcare, shipping and finance were coming back online on Friday after a mistake in a security software update sparked hours-long global computer systems outages, reports Reuters. The incident highlighted the vulnerability of the world's interconnected technologies. More than 2,200 flights were canceled across the U.S., with nearly 7,000 delayed, as of 1:23 pm ET on Friday, according to data tracker FlightAware. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 377 points, the S&P 500 lost 39 points, and the Nasdaq Composite lost 144 points. George Kurtz, the founder and CEO of the cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, explained on NBC's "Today Show" how their company took down millions of computers --including air travel, banks, and more -- around the world with a single faulty software update. KURTZ: “The system was sent an update. That update had a software bug in it and caused an issue with the Microsoft operating system.” Businesses face questions about how to avoid future blackouts triggered by technology meant to safeguard their systems.

Episode Notes A U.S. District Court judge blocked the proposed $3.8 billion merger between JetBlue Airways and Spirit Airlines, the first time in 20 years Washington has rejected an airline merger, writes Airlines Reporter Meghna Maharishi. Maharishi reports the ruling represents a victory for the Biden administration, which has supported more competition in the airline industry. Four airlines control 80% of the U.S. market following a series of mergers the U.S. government has approved in the last two decades. Maharishi adds the judge's decision is a major setback for JetBlue, which had been seeking ways to become more competitive against the giants of the U.S. airline industry.  JetBlue would have fully absorbed Spirit's operations if the merger had been approved.  Next, flight disruptions are continuing to mount after a severe winter storm battered the Northeastern United States, writes Airlines Reporter Maharishi.  There were close to 2,000 cancellations and 5,000 delays across the U.S. as of Tuesday afternoon, according to flight tracking site FlightAware. Southwest Airlines, United Airlines and American Airlines have been hit with the most disruptions thus far, although not all were caused by the weather. Maharishi adds airlines may not get a reprieve after the current storm passes, with another Arctic blast expected to hit the Southern and Plains regions of the U.S. later this week.  Finally, Turkey is now charging tourists an admission fee to enter mosque and UNESCO World Heritage Site Hagia Sophia, writes Global Tourism Reporter Dawit Habtemariam. Tourists have to pay about $27 to enter the site, one of Turkey's most famous attractions, starting this week. Hagia Sophia had admitted tourists free of charge since 2020, when services resumed at the mosque. Muslim visitors to Turkey can still worship for free at Hagia Sophia at appropriate times, noting the government has separated how tourists and worshippers enter the building.

More than 7,700 flights were delayed Tuesday and nearly 2,200 were canceled, FlightAware data showed, as thunderstorms that derailed thousands of trips over the weekend lingered in airspace that is heavily congested on a clear-weather day. That’s on top of more than 8,800 U.S. delays and close to 2,250 cancellations Monday. The Federal Aviation Administration paused flights bound for New York’s LaGuardia Airport, John F. Kennedy International Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey. Delays were averaging three hours or longer at those airports. The FAA said that the thunderstorms were blocking arrival and departure routes. The disruptions come ahead of the busy Fourth of July holiday travel period, when millions are expected to fly. The Transportation Security Administration said it could screen more travelers than in 2019, before the pandemic, raising competition for spare seats. The Biden administration has pressured airlines to improve their operations after widespread flight disruptions last spring and summer, which prompted carriers to trim their overambitious schedules. But the industry struggled to recover this past weekend from a series of thunderstorms that didn’t let up for days. Thunderstorms are difficult for airlines because they can form with less warning than other major weather obstacles like winter storms or hurricanes. Rolling delays could force crews to reach federally mandated workday limits and further worsen disruptions. About 30,000 flights have arrived late since Saturday, FlightAware data showed, with cancellation rates from Saturday through Monday up more than three times the average for the year. Some airline executives have also blamed some of the disruptions on shortages of air traffic controllers. United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby told staff on Monday that “the FAA frankly failed us this weekend.” He said that during Saturday’s storms the FAA reduced arrival rates by 40% and departures by 75% at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey, one of the airline’s biggest hubs. The staffing challenges aren’t new. The Covid-19 pandemic derailed hiring and training of new air traffic controllers, and the agency is now trying to catch up. The Department of Transportation’s Office of Inspector General said in a report last week that air traffic control staffing shortfalls put air traffic operations at risk. In March, the FAA and some airlines agreed to reduce flights to help ease congestion at busy New York airports because of the staffing issues. But the problems persist at a time when airlines are readying crews and schedules for a busy summer season, fueled by sustained travel demand. And the disruptions frustrated flight crews who were left waiting on hold for reassignments. The Association of Flight Attendants, which represents flight attendants at United and others said in a memo to members Monday that hold times for crew scheduling were longer than three hours. In response to the union’s memo, United said it has “deployed all available resources to catch up on call volume, including increasing staffing in crew scheduling and mandatory overtime on the scheduling team.” https://www.theblaze.com/news/over-200-billion-in-covid-relief-funds-lost-to-potential-fraud-and-abuse-gov-t-watchdog-finds-significantly-higher-than-previous-estimates Over $200 billion in COVID relief funds lost to potential fraud and abuse, gov't watchdog finds — significantly higher than previous estimates A report released Tuesday from the Office of Inspector General of the Small Business Administration found that the federal government lost more than $200 billion in COVID relief funds to potential fraud, waste, and abuse. The OIG's latest estimate is significantly higher than previous projections that speculated approximately $100 billion. The relief initiatives included the Paycheck Protection and COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan programs, created to provide emergency financial relief to small businesses and those who lost their jobs due to restrictive lockdown measures. The report estimated that at least 17% of the relief funds, which totaled approximately $1.2 trillion, were disbursed to potential fraudsters, including "more than $136 billion COVID-19 EIDLs and $64 billion in PPP funds." Inspector General Hannibal "Mike" Ware noted that the OIG's investigation into the potentially stolen funds has, so far, resulted in 1,011 indictments, 803 arrests, and 529 convictions. Approximately $30 billion in fraudulently obtained relief funds have been seized and returned to the SBA. Ware previously predicted during a 2021 interview with ABC News, "In terms of the monetary value, the amount of fraud in these COVID relief programs is going to be larger than any government program that came before it." The report claimed that the extensive fraud resulted from the SBA's "weakened or removed" controls to allow swift distribution of emergency funds to those in need. The OIG reported that the eased review process had the "allure of 'easy money'" for fraudsters who saw an opportunity to exploit the SBA's lowered barriers. The OIG's report stated: "OIG is working on tens of thousands of investigative leads on alleged fraud, waste, and abuse of taxpayer resources. Thousands of investigations will ensue for years to come because of swift congressional action to increase the statute of limitations to 10 years for COVID-19 EIDL and PPP fraud. We continue to identify fraud schemes, and we anticipate the overall potential fraud estimate could fluctuate; therefore, we may issue periodic updates to this report.” Bailey DeVries, acting associate administrator of the SBA, expressed concern that Ware's report contained "serious flaws that significantly overestimate fraud." DeVries stated that approximately 86% of the fraud occurred within the first nine months of the relief programs' rollouts, arguing that the agency's controls to prevent fraud improved over time. https://nypost.com/2023/06/28/daniel-penny-pleads-not-guiltyto-manslaughter-charge/ Prosecutors reveal they have more footage of Jordan Neely’s NYC subway chokehold death — as ex-Marine Daniel Penny enters not guilty plea Prosecutors revealed Wednesday they have additional cellphone video from witnesses in Jordan Neely’s subway chokehold death, as Marine Daniel Penny pleaded not guilty to manslaughter charges in the lightning-rod case. The 24-year-old former infantry squad leader — who appeared in Manhattan Supreme Court clean-shaven and wearing a blue suit and maroon tie — was arraigned on charges of second-degree manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide during the brief, minutes-long hearing. A stoic Penny spoke only to say “Not guilty” as more than 50 people — including his supporters, backers of Neely, 30, and many members of the media — looked on. The Long Island native was caught on bystander video putting Neely — who witnesses said had been threatening subway riders — into a chokehold on an F train on May 1. The medical examiner’s office later ruled Neely’s death a homicide. Court documents filed Wednesday show that prosecutors have at least five cellphone videos from three witnesses to the deadly encounter that they plan to introduce as evidence. They also have videotaped statements from two other witnesses, as well as two MTA surveillance videos and police body-worn camera footage, the document states. Additionally, prosecutors disclosed they have a videotaped statement that Penny made to cops the day of the incident — when they released him without charges. Penny’s statements to cops inside the Broadway-Lafayette Street station, as detailed in the filing, echo what he has said publicly about the incident since. Penny described what could be seen in the shocking video of the confrontation, that Neely was “rolling, he was rolling, when he was in a choke. He was going crazy,” the filing states. Penny also told police that Neely was “acting irate, dropping things on the floor, saying he doesn’t care if he goes to jail,” according to the court doc. Penny surrendered to authorities on May 12 after the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office brought charges against him. He was indicted by a grand jury earlier this month and remains free on $100,000 bail. He faces up to 19 years behind bars if convicted on both counts. Penny has said he didn’t mean to kill Neely, but that he felt he had to step in for the safety of other passengers as Neely — who had a long history of mental illness — had been throwing trash at riders and threatening them as they moved away from him. https://www.washingtonpost.com/media/2023/06/28/national-geographic-staff-writers-laid-off/?utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=wp_homepage National Geographic lays off its last remaining staff writers Like one of the endangered species whose impending extinction it has chronicled, National Geographic magazine has been on a relentlessly downward path, struggling for vibrancy in an increasingly unforgiving ecosystem. On Wednesday, the Washington-based magazine that has surveyed science and the natural world for 135 years reached another difficult passage when it laid off all of its last remaining staff writers. The cutback — the latest in a series under owner Walt Disney Co. — involves some 19 editorial staffers in all, who were notified in April that these terminations were coming. Article assignments will henceforth be contracted out to freelancers or pieced together by editors. The cuts also eliminated the magazine’s small audio department. Departing staffers said Wednesday the magazine has curtailed photo contracts that enabled photographers to spend months in the field producing the publication’s iconic images. In a further cost-cutting move, copies of the famous bright-yellow-bordered print publication will no longer be sold on newsstands in the United States starting next year, the company said in an internal announcement last month. National Geographic writer Craig Welch noted the moment in a tweet on Wednesday: “My new National Geographic just arrived, which includes my latest feature — my 16th, and my last as a senior writer. … I’ve been so lucky. I got to work w/incredible journalists and tell important, global stories. It’s been an honor.” The magazine’s current trajectory has been years in the making, set in motion primarily by the epochal decline of print and ascent of digital news and information. In the light-speed world of digital media, National Geographic has remained an almost artisanal product — a monthly magazine whose photos, graphics and articles were sometimes the result of months of research and reporting. At its peak in the late 1980s, National Geographic reached 12 million subscribers in the United States, and millions more overseas. Many of its devotees so savored its illumination of other worlds — space, the depths of the ocean, little-seen parts of the planet — that they stacked old issues into piles that cluttered attics and basements. It remains among the most widely read magazines in America, at a time when magazines are no longer widely read. At the end of 2022, it had just under 1.8 million subscribers, according to the authoritative Alliance for Audited Media. National Geographic was launched by Washington’s National Geographic Society, a foundation formed by 33 academics, scientists and would-be adventurers, including Alexander Graham Bell. The magazine was initially sold to the public as a perk for joining the society. It grew into a stand-alone publication slowly but steadily, reaching 1 million subscribers by the 1930s. The magazine was eventually surpassed for profits and attention by the society’s video operations, including its flagship National Geographic cable channel and Nat Geo Wild, a channel focused on animals. While they produced documentaries equal in quality to the magazine’s rigorous reporting, the channels — managed by Rupert Murdoch’s 21st Century Fox — also aired pseudoscientific entertainment programming about UFOs and reality series like “Sharks vs. Tunas” at odds with the society’s original high-minded vision. The magazine’s place of honor continued to dim through a series of corporate reshufflings that began in 2015 when the Society agreed to form a for-profit partnership with 21st Century Fox, which took majority control in exchange for $725 million. The partnership came under the Disney banner in 2019 as part of a massive $71 billion deal between Fox and Disney. Among those who lost their jobs in the latest layoff was Debra Adams Simmons, who only last September was promoted to vice president of diversity, equity and inclusion at National Geographic Media, the entity that oversees the magazine and website. At the time, David Miller, executive vice president of National Geographic Media, said the magazine was “realigning key departments to help deepen engagement with our readers while also nurturing existing business models and developing new lines of revenue.” In an email to The Post on Wednesday, National Geographic spokesperson Chris Albert said staffing changes will not affect the company’s plans to continue publishing a monthly magazine “but rather give us more flexibility to tell different stories and meet our audiences where they are across our many platforms.”

More than 7,700 flights were delayed Tuesday and nearly 2,200 were canceled, FlightAware data showed, as thunderstorms that derailed thousands of trips over the weekend lingered in airspace that is heavily congested on a clear-weather day. That’s on top of more than 8,800 U.S. delays and close to 2,250 cancellations Monday. The Federal Aviation Administration paused flights bound for New York’s LaGuardia Airport, John F. Kennedy International Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey. Delays were averaging three hours or longer at those airports. The FAA said that the thunderstorms were blocking arrival and departure routes. The disruptions come ahead of the busy Fourth of July holiday travel period, when millions are expected to fly. The Transportation Security Administration said it could screen more travelers than in 2019, before the pandemic, raising competition for spare seats. The Biden administration has pressured airlines to improve their operations after widespread flight disruptions last spring and summer, which prompted carriers to trim their overambitious schedules. But the industry struggled to recover this past weekend from a series of thunderstorms that didn’t let up for days. Thunderstorms are difficult for airlines because they can form with less warning than other major weather obstacles like winter storms or hurricanes. Rolling delays could force crews to reach federally mandated workday limits and further worsen disruptions. About 30,000 flights have arrived late since Saturday, FlightAware data showed, with cancellation rates from Saturday through Monday up more than three times the average for the year. Some airline executives have also blamed some of the disruptions on shortages of air traffic controllers. United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby told staff on Monday that “the FAA frankly failed us this weekend.” He said that during Saturday’s storms the FAA reduced arrival rates by 40% and departures by 75% at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey, one of the airline’s biggest hubs. The staffing challenges aren’t new. The Covid-19 pandemic derailed hiring and training of new air traffic controllers, and the agency is now trying to catch up. The Department of Transportation’s Office of Inspector General said in a report last week that air traffic control staffing shortfalls put air traffic operations at risk. In March, the FAA and some airlines agreed to reduce flights to help ease congestion at busy New York airports because of the staffing issues. But the problems persist at a time when airlines are readying crews and schedules for a busy summer season, fueled by sustained travel demand. And the disruptions frustrated flight crews who were left waiting on hold for reassignments. The Association of Flight Attendants, which represents flight attendants at United and others said in a memo to members Monday that hold times for crew scheduling were longer than three hours. In response to the union’s memo, United said it has “deployed all available resources to catch up on call volume, including increasing staffing in crew scheduling and mandatory overtime on the scheduling team.” https://www.theblaze.com/news/over-200-billion-in-covid-relief-funds-lost-to-potential-fraud-and-abuse-gov-t-watchdog-finds-significantly-higher-than-previous-estimates Over $200 billion in COVID relief funds lost to potential fraud and abuse, gov't watchdog finds — significantly higher than previous estimates A report released Tuesday from the Office of Inspector General of the Small Business Administration found that the federal government lost more than $200 billion in COVID relief funds to potential fraud, waste, and abuse.

Holyoke Media, en asociación con WHMP radio, emiten diariamente la Síntesis informativa en español a través del 101.5 FM y en el 1240 / 1400 AM. Esta es la síntesis informativa del lunes 5 de junio de 2023: Con solo dos días de margen, el presidente Joe Biden firmó el sábado una legislación que eleva el techo de la deuda de la nación, evitando un incumplimiento sin precedentes de la deuda del gobierno federal. Fue un desenlace decididamente discreto para un drama de un mes que desconcertó a los mercados financieros en el país y en el extranjero y provocó que jubilados ansiosos y organizaciones de servicios sociales hicieran planes de contingencia en caso de que el país no pudiera pagar todas sus cuentas. En lugar de realizar una ceremonia pública con legisladores de ambos partidos, mostrando el bipartidismo que Biden había citado en un discurso en la Oficina Oval el viernes por la noche, el presidente firmó la legislación en privado como reflejo del ajustado plazo que enfrentan los líderes de la nación. El Departamento del Tesoro había advertido que el país comenzaría a quedarse sin efectivo este lunes, lo que habría conmocionado a las economías estadounidenses y mundiales. La Casa Blanca publicó una foto del presidente firmando la legislación en el Resolute Desk. En un breve comunicado, Biden agradeció a los líderes demócratas y republicanos del Congreso por su colaboración, un mensaje cordial que contrastó con el rencor que caracterizó inicialmente el debate sobre la deuda. FUENTE: AP Estados Unidos envió aviones de combate F-16 en una persecución supersónica de un avión ligero con un piloto inconsciente que violó el espacio aéreo en el área de Washington D.C. y luego se estrelló contra las montañas de Virginia, dijeron las autoridades. Los aviones de combate provocaron un estampido sónico sobre la capital de los EE. UU. en un intento de perseguir al Cessna Citation errante, dijeron las autoridades, causando consternación entre la gente en el área de Washington. Cuatro personas estaban a bordo del Cessna, dijo una fuente familiarizada con el asunto. Un Cessna Citation puede transportar de siete a 12 pasajeros. El avión estaba registrado a nombre de Encore Motors de Melbourne, Florida, según el sitio web de seguimiento de vuelos Flight Aware. El propietario de Encore, John Rumpel, le dijo al Washington Post que su hija, un nieto y su niñera estaban a bordo. El ejército de EE. UU. intentó establecer contacto con el piloto, que no respondía, hasta que el Cessna se estrelló cerca del Bosque Nacional George Washington en Virginia, dijo el Comando de Defensa Aeroespacial de América del Norte (NORAD) en un comunicado. El Cessna parecía estar volando en piloto automático, dijo otra fuente familiarizada con el asunto. Un funcionario estadounidense dijo que los aviones de combate no causaron el accidente. El Cessna despegó del Aeropuerto Municipal de Elizabethton en Elizabethton, Tennessee, y se dirigía al Aeropuerto Long Island MacArthur en Nueva York, a unas 50 millas (80 km) al este de Manhattan, dijo la FAA en un comunicado, y agregó que tanto él como el Transporte Nacional La Junta de Seguridad investigaría. Según Flight Aware, el avión pareció llegar al área de Nueva York e hizo un giro de casi 180 grados, y el vuelo terminó en Virginia. La policía estatal de Virginia dijo que estaban buscando los restos pero que aún no los habían encontrado. FUENTE: REUTERS

In this week's North American Ag Spotlight Chrissy Wozniak discusses cybersecurity risk and the food supply chain with Eracent founder Walt Szablowski.Walt Szablowski is the Founder and Executive Chairman of Eracent and serves as Chair of Eracent's subsidiaries (Eracent SP ZOO, Warsaw, Poland; Eracent Private LTD in Bangalore, India, and Eracent Brazil). Cyber attacks are becoming more common and the stakes are high! JBS USA confirmed it paid the equivalent of $11 million in ransom in response to the criminal hack against its operations. In consultation with internal IT professionals and third-party cybersecurity experts, the company made the decision to mitigate any unforeseen issues related to the attack and ensure no data was exfiltrated.The FBI stated this is one of the most specialized and sophisticated cybercriminal groups in the world. The company spends more than $200 million annually on IT and employs more than 850 IT professionals globally.In other industries the lack of a cyber security plan has big consequences, for the first time since 9/11, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), on January 11, 2023, had to issue a nationwide ground stop in the United States. In the outage that lasted 11 hours and 50 minutes, a total of 10,563 flights were delayed, while more than 1,300 flights were canceled, as reported by FlightAware. Although the FAA eventually confirmed that the outage was caused by a data file, related to the Notices to Air Missions (NOTAM) system, that was unintentionally damaged by a contractor who failed to follow procedures and was not caused by a cybersecurity breach, it raises plenty of questions and has understandably triggered panic across the nation. This incident raises questions about the security of a government agency's software system – not only to implement measures to prevent human error but also to guard against cyberattacks. Szablowski recognizes the necessity of the right processes and the importance of discovering the data, defining the network, and putting them in the processes. “Eracent has all the systems one needs to effectively put these processes in place,” concludes Szablowski.Eracent helps its customers meet the challenges of managing IT network assets, software licenses, and cybersecurity in today's complex and evolving IT environments. Eracent's enterprise clients save significantly on their annual software spend, reduce their audit and security risks, and establish more efficient asset management processes. Eracent's client base includes some of the world's largest corporate and government networks and IT environments — the USPS, VISA, US Airforce, British Ministry of Defense — and dozens of Fortune 500 companies rely on Eracent solutions to manage and protect their networks. Visit https://eracent.com/ #farm #agriculture #cybersecurityNorth American Ag is devoted to highlighting the people & companies in agriculture who impact our industry and help feed the world.

Thousands of people were left at the terminal after Southwest Airlines canceled a massive number of flights. The New York Times reports:   Five days after severe winter weather wreaked havoc on holiday air travel across the United States, most major carriers are back up and running. Delta Air Lines, American Airlines and United Airlines each canceled fewer than 40 flights on Wednesday, according to FlightAware, a flight tracking service. Delta had the fewest with only 15 cancellations.  At Southwest, it was a very different story.  More than 2,500 flights, or 62 percent of its planned flights on Wednesday, had been canceled, according to FlightAware. And Southwest said in a statement on Wednesday that it planned to fly one third of its scheduled flights for the next several days as it tries to return to normal operations, meaning it would continue to cancel close to 2,500 flights a day. Some passengers, unable to rebook Southwest flights, rented cars or spent hundreds of dollars to buy tickets on other airlines. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Southwest Airlines scrubbed thousands of flights again Tuesday in the aftermath of the massive winter storm that wrecked Christmas travel plans across the U.S., and the federal government said it would investigate why the company lagged so far behind other carriers. A day after most U.S. airlines had recovered from the storm, Southwest called off about 2,600 more flights on the East Coast by late afternoon. Those flights accounted for more than 80% of the 3,000 trips that got canceled nationwide Tuesday, according to tracking service FlightAware. And the chaos seemed certain to continue. The airline also scrubbed 2,500 flights for Wednesday and nearly 1,400 for Thursday as it tried to restore order to its mangled schedule.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's Monday, December 26th, A.D. 2022. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. By Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com) 11,000 children in Yemen killed in last 8 years Yemen is an unstable country. International Christian Concern reports that it is torn between “Iran-backed Houthi rebels, who overthrew the Yemeni government in 2014, [which] are pitted against a multinational coalition led by Saudi Arabia.” The conflict over the past seven years has left the civilians in ruin. Tragically, 11,000 children have been killed during the conflict, equaling roughly four children a day according to the United Nations Children's Fund. This number only includes the verified cases; the actual numbers are believed to be much higher. At least 74 children were among the 164 people killed or injured by landmines between July and August alone. Plus, the Yemeni kids suffer from malnourishment, lack of effective medical care, preventable diseases, and little access to clean water and hygiene services. The small population of Christians, who converted from Islam, keep their faith hidden for their protection. According to Open Doors, Yemen is the fifth worst country in the world for the persecution of Christians. Coldest Christmas as storm causes flight cancellations & travel chaos Areas in the Midwest and the Plains experienced one of the "coldest Christmas" in 40 years,reports the U.S. Sun. Roughly a third of the country experienced a winter weather warning. The National Weather Service reported that wind chills from the blizzard conditions were "life-threatening" in the Midwest. Around 100 million Americans in 37 states were placed under winter alerts and wind chill alerts, and at least 18 people have died due to the severe weather. On Christmas Eve, 5,711 flights were cancelled, reports FlightAware. Arizona judge declares Democrat Katie Hobbs governor On Saturday, an Arizona judge ruled against Republican Kari Lake's election challenge, effectively confirming Democrat Secretary of State Katie Hobbs as the state's next governor, reports Fox 10 Phoenix. Lake's team had called Richard Baris, the director of the Big Data Poll, to the witness stand, who claimed between 25,000 and 40,000 voters were disenfranchised on Election Day because of issues at polling locations. But, in the decision on Saturday, Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson, who was appointed by then-Republican Governor Jan Brewer, found that the court did not find clear and convincing evidence of the widespread misconduct that Lake had alleged had affected the result of the 2022 general election.  Lake has until 5 p.m. today to respond.  Hobbs takes office as governor on January 2. Missouri mayor bars kids from drag queen show A town in Missouri has kept minors from attending a holiday drag queen show officially promoted as “family friendly,” due to a trend of similar events proving to be anything but family friendly. The New York Post reports  that the Chesterfield concert venue, The Factory, which hosted “A Drag Queen Christmas” Wednesday, announced hours before the show that ticket holders younger than 18 would be turned away.  Chesterfield, Missouri Mayor Bob Nation addressed local ordinances which prohibit exposing minors to certain kinds of sexually-charged entertainment. Mayor Nation said, “In no way is this meant to disrespect or put down the LGBTQ+ community, or in no way is this meant to restrict drag shows. Those are legal entities. It's just the content that we were told might occur. We thought we should suggest limiting the age limit.” The Washington Times adds that doubts about how “family friendly” these shows really are were vindicated by reporting from journalist Tayler Hansen, who recorded another show of the tour in the same series in Austin, Texas. It “feature[d] nude prosthetic body parts and simulated sex acts.” Ephesians 5:11 says, “Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.” Top baby names of 2022 A popular parenting resource has identified top baby names and shifting trends after consulting hundreds of thousands of parents who named an infant in 2022, reports Fox News. BabyCenter, an online media company, released a baby name report based on responses it received from parents who welcomed "about 416,000 babies" this year from January 1 through November 1. The top 10 names for girls are Olivia, Emma, Amelia, Ava, Sophia, Isabella, Luna, Mia, Charlotte and Evelyn. And the top 10 names for boys are Liam, Noah, Oliver, Elijah, Mateo, Lucas, Levi, Asher, James and Leo. Plus, nature-themed names, which have become trendy, include Violet, Willow, Iris, Meadow, Juniper, Ivy, Nova, and Aurora. 43 state capitols feature Nativity scenes in 2022 And finally, a campaign that is working to have a Christian message present in all 50 state capitols during the Christmas season has confirmed that it is at 43 for this Christmas in 2022, reports WorldNetDaily.com. Officials with the Thomas More Society say there are Nativity displays scheduled in all but a handful of capitols this season. The Thomas More Society and the American Nativity Scene are helping a growing number of private citizen groups across the nation to display biblical manger scenes on government property this Christmas. State Capitols in Alaska, New York, Utah, and Virginia are scheduled to feature the traditional display of Mary and Joseph with Baby Jesus in the manger for the first time this year. Ed O'Malley, president of the American Nativity Scene, said the 2022 total is more capitols than ever have participated in the past. And Thomas Olp, of the Thomas More Society, explained that many people "erroneously assume that government entities are prohibited from allowing a religious display." He said, "The law is clear. Government entities may erect and maintain celebrations of the Christmas holiday – or allow citizens to do so on government property, including nativity scenes, as long as a crèche's sole purpose is not to promote its religious content, and it is placed in context with other symbols of the season as part of an effort to celebrate the public Christmas holiday through traditional symbols. We pray that the nativity scenes of the Christmas season will help to foster a sense of unity and peace on earth." Luke 2:4-11 says, “Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem, the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David.  He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed Him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them. "And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.  But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today, in the town of David, a Savior has been born to you. He is the Messiah, the Lord.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Monday, December 26th in the year of our Lord 2022. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Police are searching for at least two suspects after nine people were injured in a shooting in Cincinnati's Over-The-Rhine neighborhood early Sunday morning. Officers were called to the 1300 block of Main Street near downtown shortly before 1:40 a.m. following reports of a disorderly crowd. Police said two groups started fighting while officers were clearing the crowd from the street. At least two individuals involved in the altercation pulled out firearms and exchanged multiple rounds of gunfire into the crowd. In a press briefing, Cincinnati police said eight men and one woman were hurt and treated for injuries that were not life-threatening. The victims' ages range from 23 to 47. An officer fired one shot at an unidentified suspect who was leaving the scene, but it's unclear whether the suspect was struck by gunfire, according to police. "Today's events are completely and totally unacceptable. The use of guns to solve disputes cannot become a normal part of our culture. I want to express the city's gratitude to the officers on the scene. Their quick response likely saved many more from injury and prevented the loss of life," Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval said in a statement. If anyone witnessed the shooting or has additional information, they are asked to contact the Cincinnati Police Department Criminal Investigations Section at 513-352-3542.READ MORE: https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/local/ohio/cincinnati-shooting-9-injured-2-gunmen-sought/530-7f2cf5bd-099b-4025-8177-94558179ab62Over 400 flights have been delayed and dozens more are canceled at Charlotte Douglas International Airport on Sunday, according to Flight Aware.About 245 of these are American Airlines flights, with another 88 of the flights being run by PSA Airlines, an American Airlines subsidiary. American Airlines told WCNC Charlotte that the delays are cancellations are due to storms expected Sunday afternoon and evening.This comes after over 600 flights were delayed and 50 were canceled at the airport on Saturday, and another 1,100 flights were canceled across the U.S. on Friday.Last weekend, weather conditions left hundreds of flights delayed or canceled at the Charlotte Douglas Airport.READ MORE: https://www.wcnc.com/article/travel/hundreds-of-flights-delayed-dozen-canceled-at-charlotte-douglas-airport-over-weekend/275-280d5397-5b78-4d1c-ac9e-c1742e65c6c8Plus, a sheriff in western North Carolina is proposing a new way to help keep students and teachers safe in the classroom: By putting AR-15s in schools for school resource officer access.
