Just to provide some humour , the contributor Art Vandelay on X is Art Vandelay a fictional character from the TV show Seinfeld.He is an alias created by the character George Costanza to fabricate stories and cover up his own actions.
Occupation: Initially portrayed as an importer/exporter (specifically for Vandelay Industries, a latex manufacturer).
Frequent use: George reused the alias throughout the series for various scams, job interviews, and cover stories (e.g., claiming he was close to a job at Vandelay Industries).

The same tyrants are also rapidly running towards a new illegal war against Iran to serve their israeli masters.
In the same vein, other subjects are regularly ignored by mainstream and alt-media alike while the technocratic regimes and their presstitutes are creating and broadcasting crises after crises.
One such subject is the well known phenomenon of climate or weather geoengineering, an ongoing practice since decades consisting in various actions such as cloud seeding, solar radiation management, or the HAARP program which brags about its capabilities to actually modify and even create weather patterns. Governments and media pretend that these are conspiracy theories or are simply ignoring the subject, while touting us that these programs are coming (a look at the white crisscrossing trails above our heads and the constant dimmed skies should warn us that they have been doing for a while).
Dane Wigington’s site geoengineeringwatch.org offers facts , data and actual scientific measurements of the highly toxic substances sprayed over our heads in the USA and all over the developed world (aluminum, barium, strontium nanoparticles).
Yet, not a word about it outside specialized sites like this. We can understand that the MSM and the criminal governments poisoning our skies, air, the natural world and us would want to hide as much as possible their criminal actions (like they do with their genocide in Gaza for example).
But why the silence from the alt-media?
here is a link to the movie “The Dimming”, if anything it is based on actual observations, scientific testing and real data, and what is going on over our head (which we can all see) is scary and the resulting level of destruction for the planet in mind-blowing.
