When he was asked whether he wanted to help tow some of the thousands of vehicles that were destroyed in the May 22, 2011, tornado in Joplin, Mike Forest jumped at the chance.
"The day after the tornado, he was there,'' said his wife, Dina, of Olathe, Kan. "It was the third week he was there that it happened.''
Forest awoke one morning to a blood-stained pillow from a nosebleed he did not know had happened. His shins were covered with blisters up to his knees. He had an excruciating headache.
He is now in the Shawnee Mission Medical Center in the Kansas City area, where doctors are trying to find out why he became ill and why he is still ill. His most recent tests include a spinal tap to determine whether he was exposed to something toxic.
"He's very sick. He describes it as someone taking a spoon and raking his bones. He has a headache that just disables him,'' said his wife in a recent telephone interview. "No one has a clue. If we don't get some answers here, we're going to the Mayo Clinic next. He can't go on like this.''

It is patently obvious that this hair-brained scheme would never work and that the idea is being put out there so conspiracy-minded people can refer to the changes in our cosmic and planetary environment as being the result of such 'geoengineering'.
The world is warming and the climate is changing. Although many want to prevent these shifts by reducing emissions of greenhouse gases that trap heat from the sun, some controversially suggest deliberating manipulating the planet's climate with large-scale engineering projects, commonly called geoengineering.
Instead of altering the climate by targeting either the oceans or the atmosphere, some researchers have suggested geoengineering projects that would affect the entire planet from space. For instance, projects that reduced the amount of solar radiation Earth receives by 1.7 percent could offset the effects of a global increase in temperature of 3.6 degrees F (2 degrees C). The United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has noted climate models suggest average global temperatures will likely rise by 2 to 11.5 degrees F (1.1 to 6.4 degrees C) by the end of this century.
"A 1.7 percent reduction is very small and will hardly be noticeable on Earth," said researcher Russell Bewick, a space scientist at the University of Strathclyde in Scotland. "People sometimes get the idea of giant screens blocking the entire sun. This is not the case ... as [the device] is constantly between the sun and the Earth, it acts merely as a very light shade or filter."
Comment: Well now, this is a very interesting development. With the recent admission from NASA that noctilucent clouds are the result of 'meteor smoke' - and that they are showing up in our skies with greater frequency and at further latitudes from the poles, along with the increased fireball flux that their rocket/missile cover-stories are failing to hide - they are clearly 'psyching' people with these fanciful crackpot schemes so that there is a reference point for such time that these effects (lower temperatures and decreased sunlight, among other things), which are already being caused by increased cosmic debris in the solar system, take ahold and people en masse begin to take notice.
As much as they have tried, so-called 'geo-engineering' doesn't work as it's supposed to. They can affect local weather fronts or set off earthquakes at targeted locations, but altering the climate in any particular direction is impossible because it is too non-linear - there are too many unknowns.
It takes extraordinary hubris to believe that you possess the technological capabilities of regulating how much sun reaches the planet's surface - hubris which at root is due to science having been taken over by psychopaths. But also, and much more importantly, getting these stories out there is important to the Powers That Be because people are sitting up and noticing that something is going on.
Whether or not such schemes actually work is besides the point. Just hyping them up reassures people that someone's doing something to take care of the situation, that Big Brother/Big Government remains in control. He doesn't; the Emperor has no clothes! There is nothing they can do to stop a cometary swarm, much less redirect or harness asteroids for combating so-called global warming.
The tornado that touched down in the area of the Spanish town of Gandia on Spain's South Eastern coast.
The fair was closed to the public when the tornado touched down, and all of those injured were fair workers, local media reported.
Fifteen people were seriously hurt and treated on site, the website for Gandia's town hall said.
The tornado ripped roofs off buildings, uprooted trees and overturned a truck which landed on cars.
Further North on the Valencia coast, two large cargo ships ran aground as a result of the high winds and seas.
In the provinces of Murica, Almeria and Malaga, 10 people were killed when the inclement weather caused flash floods that swept away cars and bridges and flooded many villages.
Two cargo ships ran aground on the Valencia coast
At least eight people have died after heavy rains triggered flash floods in southern Spain, officials have said.
The strength of the floods overturned cars, closed roads, damaged homes and forced hundreds to leave their properties.
The hardest hit areas were the provinces of Malaga and Almeria, and the Murcia region.
Further north in the town of Gandia, a tornado struck a temporary fairground, injuring 35 people, 15 seriously.
'Hit hard'
At least 600 people had to be evacuated from their homes in the Andalucia region, which contains Malaga and Almeria, officials said.

For thousands of years, the appearance of a comet in the terrestrial skies has provoked deep anxiety and even collective hysteria in humans the world over. The reasons for this response are not entirely clear. Working with historical testimony, David Talbott and his colleagues have concluded that comet fears originated in a global experience of catastrophe and terror. Behind all of the regional traditions and stories is the memory of the "Great Comet," the mother of all comets. The memory traces to the origins of world mythology, according to Talbott, and is particularly vivid in the story of a cosmic serpent or dragon threatening to destroy the world. The most common ancient ideas attached to a comet were the death of kings, the fall of kingdoms, cosmic upheaval, and the end of the world.
It is well worth asking why this collective anxiety can be provoked with the first appearance of a mere wisp of gas in the heavens. The question is especially appropriate today because of the approach of the Comet Elenin, which is predicted to pass within about 0.233 AU of the Earth in October of this year. Speculations about Elenin range from a theoretical NASA coverup of an "extinction level event," to theories that the comet is actually the ever-elusive planet "Nibiru" of author Zecharia Sitchin's lore. (For a thoughtful meditation on the credibility of some of these theories, see the Subversify.com piece, "Is Google Censoring Nibiru?"). It should be noted here that the leading proponent of the electric universe, Wal Thornhill, has refrained from predicting specific behaviors of Elenin due to the number of unknowns. These unknowns (discussed below) include the Sun's activity, and the constituent material of the comet itself.

The road was built as a place for parking excavators that will be used in the pending cleanup of the sinkhole, which emerged Aug. 3 in swamps between the Bayou Corne and Grand Bayou areas on property owned by Texas Brine Co., parish officials said in a blog post.
The sinkhole - filled with a liquid mixture of brine, mud, vegetative matter and other substances - has forced the evacuation of residents in 150 households in the two communities.
Comment: What are the officials in Louisiana hiding? This recent video gives an in depth discussion of the sinkhole's recent expansion, earthquakes increasing in the area, and the bubbling, 'radioactive' water of this potentially massive disaster.

Metsul goes on to say that lightning strikes numbered over 300,000 in four days in Rio Grande do Sul (the southernmost state in Brazil), which reported two million without power. Near the city of Camaquã, nearly a foot (300 mm) of rain was estimated, collapsing a bridge.
Huge hailstones punched holes in roofs, high winds (estimated near 100 mph) knocked down brick walls and radio antennas. Thousands of homes were damaged in southern Brazil as well as neighboring Argentina and Paraguay (where five people were killed). On the Uruguay coast, streets filled with sand and sea foam as winds gusted to 107 mph (172 km/hr).
Incredibly, less than 10 days later, a low pressure system has pulled up extreme cold from Antarctica and "Santa Catarina*" became a trending topic on Twitter this morning, as reports and photos of snow and temperatures below freezing (with wind chills as low as -30 C!) started pouring in.
An article from Estadao.com says (translation) says:
"Also there was record snow between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, in Bom Jardim da Serra and Urubici. According to Epagri / Ciram, responsible for monitoring weather conditions in Santa Catarina, the last time there was record snowfall in spring in the state was in 2000."
