Welcome to the shadowy world of Project Evergreen, a cryptic initiative that has sparked numerous conspiracy theories and raised questions about its true nature. This clandestine project, shrouded in secrecy, has become a focal point for those who delve into the realms of weaponized information and political intrigue. What to Expect: Project Evergreen is said to be a weapon of mass information, a propaganda machine operating behind the scenes to manipulate narratives and control the flow of information. Whispers suggest that its influence extends far beyond conventional boundaries, weaving a web of deception and manipulation that stretches across the global landscape. Those who dare to dive into this mysterious project should brace themselves for a journey into the heart of a covert operation that transcends the ordinary. Hilary's Alleged Role: Conspiracy theorists speculate about the involvement of political figures, with Hillary Clinton being touted as the potential mastermind behind Project Evergreen. Rumors swirl around her alleged orchestration of a grand scheme aimed at shaping public opinion and securing political power. Theories range from her utilizing the project for personal gain to influencing world affairs through a carefully crafted web of misinformation. Evergreen Shipping Containers: The connection to Evergreen shipping containers adds another layer of intrigue. Some believe that these containers serve as more than just vessels for goods; they are rumored to be instrumental in the transportation of covert agents, secret documents, or even advanced technologies. The iconic green containers, once associated with mundane commerce, now take on a darker significance in the world of conspiracy. The Fate of the Children: As unsettling as it may sound, rumors circulate about the involvement of children in Project Evergreen. Speculations range from their unwitting participation in psychological experiments to more sinister possibilities like human trafficking. Theories abound regarding the fate of these children and the role they play in the clandestine operations orchestrated by Project Evergreen. Human Trafficking Allegations: Many question whether the project extends into the realm of human trafficking, with the green shipping containers being potential vessels for the illicit movement of individuals. The mysterious and distressing events within these containers are speculated to involve the exploitation and trafficking of innocent lives. As you embark on an exploration of Project Evergreen, be prepared to confront a landscape where truth and deception intertwine, and where every revelation raises more questions than answers. The journey is fraught with complexity, but for those daring enough to unravel its mystery, it promises a glimpse into the hidden forces that shape our world. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/qthelight/support

Project Evergreen's Ki Matsko rejoins the podcast to discuss SnowCare for Troops volunteer needs for Winter 2022-23. She is joined by special guest Brad Davis who offers a first-hand account of being involved with the program as both a soldier and a snow pro. For families of deployed military personnel, clearing driveways and sidewalks can be a real challenge. To meet that challenge, BOSS Snowplow and Project EverGreen established the SnowCare for Troops program to provide complimentary snow and ice removal services to these deserving individuals. Now in its eighth year, SnowCare for Troops has partnered with more than 1,500 snow removal volunteers to offer more than 5,000 military families with complimentary snow and ice removal services. SnowCare for Troops is more than clearing driveways and sidewalks of snow and ice- it is a means to ease the burden of deployments on military families. Interested military families and veterans can also register for participation in the SnowCare for Troops program by calling Project EverGreen at 888-611-2955 or registering online at projectevergreen.org/greencare-and-snowcare-for-troops/. The Snow Magazine Podcast is hosted by Snow Magazine Editor Mike Zawacki and is supported by the Accredited Snow Contractor's Association (ASCA). With education certification that gives you a measurable competitive advantage, a discounted insurance program, networking events, and opportunities to be a part of a legislative effort that is forever changing the professional snow contractor industry, your ASCA membership never stops working for you.
