Here is a sample of what i am speaking of:




EDIT: please tell me if the link works, as its my first time attempting to get a pic on this forum. I can add more. Some are straight sickening.

I would not say we arent raping the plains... almost EVERY farmer in northern Indiana is sold out to Monsanto GM corn fields. Reason being: Monsanto can guarantee the farmers a locked in price so they do it every time. There are farmers that still do their own thing, but once a monsanto pollen reaches their field and creates seed... Monsanto claims ownership of that farmer's field. There was a case recently where a farmer lost his entire farm, not just his field, his house, equipment, and fields. His farm. All because he fought back and took it to court.

On top of that, farming is a dying job. To get INTO farming you have to be a multi-millionaire. It is decreasing as the old farmers die out, and the farms that have been passed down generation after generation are the only ones left. The price of 1 acre up here is around $8,000-10,000, and equipment is half a million dollars. It is impossible for a young fella like me to want to be a farmer when i am older, it is not possible with the economic conditions. I believe monsanto is doing this also, pushing the farmers out and acquiring the land as they dry up.

We aren't physically raping the land. In the 20's and into the dustbowl years the literal farming the land to death made for barren top soil. Like the California Central Valley if you look at a Sat photo. So the whole upper Texas into Okie and Kansas back to Colorado with a large % of all that being bare soil. Hence...years with as many as 100 massive dust storms blowing the plains to sticks... That won't happen again is what I mean. The plains are covered with grass again for the most part.

It is happening here in Indiana it is called Roto Tilling. They are turning the topsoil into sand, and it does blow everywhere. If there were not a treeline separating the fields around here, nothing would stop the erosion. There are areas where ditches are dug, and filled right back in with the erosion blown straight off of the fields.

And i will show another pic just because i can!

Yes, i am aware of the term cloud seeding, as it was invented as a warfare tactic in Vietnam. We caused rains the lasted weeks in an attempt to flood the ho chi min trail. But you cant say we know one end of the spectrum without knowing the other? We would not be aware of only the north pole but not the south pole would we? Knowing the physics of how these things work is achieved by understanding the polarity that goes with it.

No, I'm not talking about 'cloud seeding'. You said you think 'chemtrails' break up rainclouds and prevent it from raining. I pointed out to you that that vast majority of chemtrail theories* claim the exact opposite.

*which i do not subscribe to

There has been a drought here in NC for as long as I have been a landscaper. Which is 20 years. Not one year that I can remember ended with a surplus of rain. My little creek in the back yard dried up last month and it usually only dries up for a week or two in August. My little pond id dry too. But what I want to know is, Where are all these mosquitoes coming from? There is no stagnant water. The pool is salt water. Where are they coming from?

And the ticks? Now there's a new tick that MAKES YOU ALLERGIC TO BACON!!!! This has to be the end times when you can talk a walk through the woods and never enjoy meat again because it will kill you. I let my dog out the other day for an hour and picked 6 ticks off it when it came in. In one hour. Luckily none of them were the devil tick what steals bacon, but still, she got 6 in an hour. She got out for 10 minutes today and I washed her soon as she got in and she had a dozen fleas. In 15 minutes of running through a yard being chased by a few kids and myself.

How about this? I had to quit my job because my equipment broke and I have zero dollars to fix it because my dog got parvo last month I spent ALL I had at the vet saving her life. All savings, everything. Worked though. She made it. Anyway, it has been around a month since I have worked and none of my customers have missed me. Their lawns haven't grown at all. If I lucked into a couple hundred dollars I could go back to making $95 a week. Yay!

Yeah, the drought is bad. Life sucks. We're all going to die. We live in a police state and it is only going to get worse. Bummer.
