Why Catholic Zionist Changed His World View
Sept. 10, 2014, 6:25 p.m.

Phil Taylor and John Barber discuss Toronto's mayoral candidates, especially frontrunners current Mayor Rob Ford and challenger John Tory, whose SmartTrack subway TIF (Tax Increment Financing) plan assigns Toronto a $3 billion debt to be magically paid with property taxes from development.
Reality: This is a fleecing of the taxpayers. Political gusto translates into economic bust for the People.
Voters will use "strategic voting" --translation: "lesser evil" voting.
Barber says the major problem is a lack of money for independent political organizations to influence the vote.

Poisoning the Sky (TWO of TWO)
Sept. 9, 2014, 8:21 p.m.
For several years the IPCC and the British Royal Society have shown images of air planes spraying into the atmosphere and call it Solar Radiation Management, SRM. In fact spraying from airplanes is one of the best loved methods of SRM proponents because it is so cheap. However they claim that the program is not yet being deployed. In part one you heard from residents of Shasta County in Northern California. They began testing rain and snow after spraying events and found chemical that only appear after airplane activity has obscured the sky. They are beginning to name the chemicals in chemtrails, among them aluminum, barium and strontium. For that they are called conspiracy theorists.
One of the most famous defenders of aerial spraying is the scientist David Keith. He is a Harvard physicist, and advisor to Bill Gates and Gates' private geoengineering projects. David Keith's book: A Case for Climate Engineering, was published by MIT. Keith admits to risks of aerial spraying, including damaging the ozone layer, creating acid rain and disrupting rainfall. However he says that climate change is so serious and CO2 reduction politically so difficult that governments may need to resort to climate engineering. He was on the Stephen Colbert Show in December 2013. In this short excerpt Colbert makes fun of conspiracies.
