Chemtrail/Contrail
Mystery Spraying Solved?
Is This What's Going On?

The following data is profoundly interesting and may offer an answer to the
ongoing mystery of the spraying of American citizens from the air. The source
has asked to remain anonymous.
 
 
Aerosolized Vaccines And Contrails
 
Jeff,
 
This company, Maxygen, has been given a 6.7 million dollar grant from DARPA for the development of "aerosolized vaccines." Hhhhmmm. Interestingly, they are also working on an aerosolized anti-biological agent consisting of the commonly used protease, "subtilisin." This is an enzyme commonly found in laundry detergents. It has been found to be highly effective in beaking down bacterial cellular walls, causing the bacteria to literally explode into a harmless mass. The idea would be to spray any affected area or individuals with this enzyme foam and decontaminate them, without the need for toxic substances like formaldehyde. Apparently, it workd quite effectively. These clues may point towards an explanation of these strange contrails we've been witnessing all over the country.

DARPA Research And Development
 
Jeff,
 
The Program Manager is a Navy SEAL and MD, with the rank of Commander, Shaun Jones. Jones is known as "The Man from DARPA." I think the trail to solving the mystery contrails leads here. Just my hunch.

The goal of the Unconventional Pathogen Countermeasures program is to develop and demonstrate defensive technologies that afford the greatest protection to uniformed warfighters, and the defense personnel who support them, during U.S. military operations. While no defense may stop a determined adversary from unleashing biological weapon, a sufficiently robust array of pathogen defenses and countermeasures " deterrents in their own right " will reduce the probable damage that would result from biological weapons used in a particular operation.
 
The most sinister offensive biological warfare scenario employs surprise, immediate proximity, and rapidly lethal, persistent agents in overwhelming quantities. Under these circumstances, real-time sensing, donning of physical protection, and conventional nonmedical countermeasures are only marginally effective. An effective operational defense ideally requires instantly available or emplaced countermeasures that can defeat biological threats as they enter the body and before they reach and attack target cells and tissues.
 
The focus of the Unconventional Pathogen Countermeasures program is the development of revolutionary, broad-spectrum, medical countermeasures against significantly pathogenic microorganisms and/or their pathogenic products. These countermeasures will be versatile enough to eliminate biological threats, whether from natural sources or modified through bioengineering or other manipulation. They will also have the potential to provide protection both within the body and at the most common portals of entry (e.g., inhalation, ingestion, transcutaneous). Strategies include but are not limited to:
 
 
* Defeat of a pathogen's ability to enter the body, traverse the bloodstream or lymphatics, and enter target tissues.
 
* Identification of novel pathogen vulnerabilities based on fundamental, critical molecular mechanisms of survival or pathogenesis (e.g., Type III secretion, cellular energetics, virulence modulation).
 
* Construction of unique, robust vehicles for the delivery of countermeasures into or within the body.
 
* Modulation of the advantageous and/or deleterious aspects of the immune response to significantly pathogenic microorganisms and/or their pathogenic products in the body.

The goal of the Maxygen/Novo collaborative DARPA project is to create decontamination reagents for Biological Warfare (BW) pathogens using a powerful new platform technology, DNA shuffling. DNA shuffling is a revolutionary method for directed evolution. Maxygen uses a preferred format, called family shuffling, to create large libraries of chimaeric genes encoding industrial enzymes that will be screened for antimicrobial activity against spore forming BW pathogens. In this project we integrate Novo Nordisk's expertise in industrial enzyme technology and production with Maxygen's expertise in DNA shuffling and library screening technologies.
 
Pathogenic spore-forming bacteria like Bacillus anthracis, Clostridium botulinum, C. difficile, C. perfringens and C. tetani form spores which survive in harsh environmental conditions for extended periods of time. The spore nucleoid structure is surrounded by protective layers composed of peptidoglycan and proteins with unusual amino acids content. This structure provides unique resistance properties acting as a permeability barrier to prevent access to the underlying spore protoplast. Spores are able to survive exposure to chlorinated solvents, detergents, mechanical disruption, extreme temperatures, UV and ionizing radiation. These organisms can be bioengineered to maximize pathogenicity and the spores easily weaponized and stored. The possible use of spores in BW or terrorist activities argues for an enzyme-based, broad spectrum decontamination formulation for personnel, equipment and environment. Integration of our technologies and expertise will result in the development of effective spore-degrading enzymes and a novel platform for rapid enzyme development against a wide variety of wild-type and recombinant spore-forming BW pathogens.
