Thank you for sharing this, Aragorn. And for all the very insightful responses from everyone. I have to admit I, too, have been feeling a need to stand up and do something to stop all this madness, especially after reading Pyschegram and Mandatory Intellectomy's posts in the Coronavirus thread about basically feeling cucked for not taking action. But the consensus here is right. Continue to share where you can discreetly, because standing up against this behemoth will not end well at this time. I have direct experience with this. I tried to be you (Aragorn) once, and it ended badly. I'll share what I went through so you and others can fully appreciate what it is we are facing.
As I've shared before, I currently work as a Biologist at a wastewater treatment plant in California. My field is toxicology, and my main duty is to perform seven-day chronic bioassays using small fish (fathead minnows) to determine if the water (effluent) we are releasing to the river is safe for the fish. We test not only to see how many fish survive, but also to see if they grow during the test. I've been there since 2001.
Around 2006-7 we started seeing a lot of dead fish in our bioassays, which are carried out by using effluent combined with our river water, from 100% river water/zero percent effluent (a control) to zero percent river water/100% effluent and several mixed dilutions in between. We also noted that sometimes fish survived but did not grow during the test, even in the river water.
When we did further investigations to see what was causing these fish to fail to thrive and even to die, we noticed that most of them had massive accumulations of material on their gills, sometimes so much material that they couldn't eat and potentially even suffocated. There were streamers of material that, under the microscope, revealed many, many bacteria; including one species that we had never seen before in our primary or secondary effluents or the river.
We then looked at other data we had collected concerning the samples we used in those tests, which included metals analyses, and we saw a pattern: the highest numbers of dead fish correlated with high, and sometimes *very* high, levels of aluminum as determined by ICP (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry) - sometimes as high as
4.0 milligrams per liter - which is at least a hundred times greater than average. All other metals were at normal levels, and the greater amounts did not correlate with increased river flow rates which sometimes does happen during the winter.
We then did some pathology studies, and we saw that the aluminum was scoring the fish's gills causing them to overproduce mucous, which served as a breeding ground for bacteria. Most of the fish were dying from septicemia. And most of the bacteria present on the gills that we saw were a species we had never seen before - a filamentous bacteria we saw in the water that, when attached to fish gills, took on a spirochete form. And after doing further analysis, we realized that that bacteria was present in the shipping water that came with the fathead minnows we were ordering from Oklahoma and using in the test - when before 2006, we had been getting those fish from Colorado.
So: now we had seen that fish were dying in my tests, and we had some smoking-gun evidence that aluminum in the river water was one of the primary causes, along with an invasive species of bacteria that we had unwittingly imported from another state. In addition, at that time there was a major kerfuffle regarding the dying off of a fish species in the Sacramento river that was homologous to the fathead minnows we used in our test: the Delta Smelt. Why did that matter? Because they had started dying out in the river since 2006:
Harbingers of a diminishing ecosystem, the smelt are almost extinct. Now, forces within the Trump administration could usher them into oblivion
www.theguardian.com
An entire species of fish, a species that served as a primary source of food for many larger fish, has basically disappeared from the Sacramento River. And: that fish had been tagged for preservation by the state government, which mandated extra releases of water from reservoirs - even during drought - in order to try to save them from extinction.
We knew all of this by 2014. We had enough evidence to trigger an investigation to see where that aluminum was coming from, and if it was involved in killing not only the fish in my tests but also the Delta Smelt. That is, in fact, why I HAVE my job: when stuff like this happens, we do these bioassays so that we can find out what is going on and investigate it so we can solve the problems. And I told my supervisor at the time this, with all this background and data, and do you know what he said?
He turned beet-red and told me, "You need to find another reason why these fish are dying."
(In retrospect I don't think my boss was completely pathological; he was just two years from retirement and didn't want to rock the boat. But he KNEW, and thought he was the only one - and he kept it to himself.)
That pissed me off. Why do my job then?? So I decided to go over his head.
That's when the "High Strangeness" started.
I started doing searches on-line for "aluminum in river water", and it took me to the website of Dane Wigington, who has been posting information on "Geoengineering" for a long time.
(That was probably the stupidest thing I ever did. That guy definitely has a screw loose, and may in fact be a honey pot for people like me wanting to "do good" - but I didn't know this at that time.)
So I contacted him and started sharing data, and he got me in contact with a few other scientists. Things were going good, until I stopped hearing from anyone. I kept sending e-mails and didn't get responses. Eventually I decided to contact him through a portal on his website, and there I discovered that he apparently had that happen often with people who tried to contact him, so he sent me another e-mail address. So we started communicating again...but then things went to another level.
My mail was being delivered open, including packages. Within a half-hour of sharing information, I would hear helicopters hovering directly overhead so close that my rafters shook. And then, when our e-mails became blocked again, I decided to try to send him all my information through his portal - and my computer died. I had to buy a new one. Then I tried to call him directly,
and my phone died.
At that point I gave up. I tried to do the right thing, and all it did was get me targeted and cost me $2000 to replace my computer and phone.
(BTW, as an aside - right after all of that happened, this article posted on Zero Hedge:
ZeroHedge - On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero
www.zerohedge.com
That happened in 2015. Before that, in 2014, Dane had referenced some of my data in videos saying that there was aluminum in the Sacramento River water. So I wonder: was that article a response to that information? Maybe they actually put aluminum in the drinking water, but even if so, it would not explain why the aluminum we found was present in the river *after* the water intake for the city, and *before* where we returned it to the river. And to top it all off? That year, we stopped doing metals testing in the river. The state took on those duties.)

And now? Here we are in the depths of the corona virus scam, and I am a microbiologist and molecular geneticist who earned a Master's degree in an anthrax lab via a CIA grant while working with the biowarfare department of Las Alamos National labs, and the subject of my thesis was a virus. I am also on this forum, which has a deep understanding of the greater reasons why all of this is occurring, which may make me one of the few around with a nearly complete picture of exactly what we are facing, and I feel completely powerless to do anything at all because I fully understand the forces arrayed against us and how futile it would prove to be.
And, get this: since I had an article published on SOTT, basically outing myself, I have had my e-mail accounts once again blocked; my MasterCard was cancelled; and again:
my mail is being opened. (I've also been active on-line sharing info, so it's probably not just that article that did it.)
I don't think I could have ever contemplated such an exquisite torture scheme for myself. I am watching all of this happen, knowing why and how and who is involved at a level that few can understand, and I can do nothing. And trust me: I DO want to do something. In fact, where I work they are rolling out mandatory temperature check stations next Friday. Now I will no longer be able to determine my own fate, and I will register a complaint. And I have admittedly spent much time honing my sword of knowledge, wondering if I do know enough to personally stand up to this beast and expose them in court if I bring a lawsuit. I often visualize myself wielding that sword and removing the heads of those who are doing this to us all, and I think I can approach them directly and bury them with that knowledge and background using powerful strokes...
...and then Harrison Ford shrugs, pulls out his gun, and shoots me dead.
And maybe 
His entire post is worth rereading.
so good.
