Fire Woodward
Editor & Publisher, Nov. 20:
In a highly critical Sunday column, Deborah Howell, ombudsman at the Washington Post since just October, took the paper's star reporter to task for his behavior surrounding the Plame/CIA leak, accusing him of what she termed two journalistic "sins." She wrote that the Post "took a hit to its credibility with readers," and "disappointment was rife in The Post's newsroom."
Her conclusion: "He has to operate under the rules that govern the rest of the staff--even if he's rich and famous." ...

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Akron and Santa Fe and ...
Is the Las Vegas Tribune a "real" newspaper or an online wannabe? The following story is linked appropriately at disinformation.com. As a footnote, I was going to write about the "chemtrail" phenomena for the Riverfront Times back in 2001, but was fired before I could do so -- which proves beyond a doubt that it is a goddamn conspiracy!! To the ramparts, my fellow Americans!!
The Las Vegas Tribune, Nov. 18:
Last year a concerned reader wrote to the Idaho Observer: "Driving across Idaho and Nevada we saw normal condensation trails in the skies above north Idaho and we were habitually looking up as we drove toward Las Vegas. We had noticed that the sparsely populated areas in Nevada had brilliantly clear blue skies and that the occasional airplane left vapor trails that dissipated normally. But as soon as we neared Las Vegas, in the skies directly above the city, we watched what appeared to be a military C-135 Transports spraying something over the populated areas. When the planes were no longer directly over Las Vegas, they continued flying leaving a vapor trail that dissipated normally."
It has been reported that the "chemtrails" contain ethylene dibromide -- a substance that has been an additive to gasoline and airplane fuels as well as a banned pesticide. Ethylene dibromide has been linked to kidney and liver damage and is an immunosuppressive and a lung irritant.
William Thomas, who has researched chemtrails since their appearance in the latter 90s, has noted stunted plant growth in once-healthy gardens and wilderness areas in Santa Fe and Aspen. Similar
plant problems are commonly associated with chemtrails in other regions of the U.S.
A brief history of the chemtrail phenomenon can be traced to a Washington state man who told award-winning investigative reporter William Thomas that he'd become ill on New Year's Day 1999 after watching several jets make strange lines in the sky. Within six months, Thomas, writing primarily for the Environmental News Service, has detailed 1000s of eyewitness reports of chemtrails from 40 states.
"Mainstream newspapers have gone out of their way to dismiss these eyewitness accounts," Thomas told the New Mexican newspaper in June 1999, "It's easier to sell UFOs to major media than a phenomena as close in many cities as the nearest window."
Especially disturbing for residents of heavily chemtrailed communities like Las Vegas is a "chemtrail sickness" associated with heavy spray days leaving many stricken people complaining of the "flu" and acute allergic reactions months after the flu season has ended. Upper and lower respiratory and gastrointestinal ailments remain unusually high in many spray areas, along with debilitating fatigue - and something even more worrying.
