Looking at
http://www.allvoices.com/contributed-ne ... ace/images
I do not see any ash clouds at all!
So satellites cannot spot the "ash cloud".
It seems the "ash clouds" are not seen on any land based radars!
It seems nobody has flown up to take a sample of the "ash cloud", i.e to establish size and content of ash particles.
How can weather report service companies report on "ash clouds" when nobody can see them?
So who decided to stop all flights in/to N.Europe because of an "ash cloud" that nobody can see (except just above a small volcano at Iceland)?

RTV has taken down its montage. This is another source; first few seconds are the Bond film with 'popping' soundtrack, the rest is library images of volcanic activity.

The militarist globalist parasite feeding off the fat of America has finished its prize public weapon striker, as bragged about repeatedly after 9/11 - read about that organization here:

Maybe these paranoid mofos will tuck themselves away into the deep recesses of Earth and we can seal off the caves.

This might be the NATO-COCOM exercise taking place behind this simulated smoke screen.

By the way skies are very blue all over Europe.

It seems there exists no official (peer reviewed?) government data confirming anything about this 'ash cloud' over Europe and that it should endanger flying, etc, etc. It seems it is just a rumour based on some computer simulations, so called climsims (climate simulations) or ashsims (ash simulations), that nobody can get hold of ... but that evidently media have some idea of ... so then it must be OK or ... not, as they publish the simshit and stop all real flights.

[kimlodrodawa]

In Denmark they are writing both that ashes have started to fall down and dust is seen on cars.
At the same time DMU says (dansk Milj? Unders?gelser) "Danish Enviroment Investigation" that so far no ashes have fallen down in Denmark and the air is more clean than ever.

I would not be surprised if by coincidence that the ash-cloud and grounding of the airports suddenly go back to normal at the same time as the NATO exercise is stopping around 22nd - 23rd April.........wouldn't that be an amazing coincidence.....????

Despite nothing can be measured in Denmark concerning the ash cloud.........then still many people are having irritations and all kind of funny symptoms.....
Should we guess that it is just a placebo effect-.......I guess so......

Maybe also it is another test to see how easy it is to fool people..........no one really question the official story about the cloud. Looks more and more as another Hoax by the ......who ever sit behind and pull the strings.....

The Danish weather forecast service get all their information from UK......meaning they have no independent investigation of it, and also nothing can be seen on the danish radar pictures at DMI -
DMI-Satelite

Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre and UK Metoffice is the source of the information as I understand all Europe is acting on the information from there.

The whole story just stinks...... <_<

RTV images of the/a volcano erupting

The first eight seconds are from a 1960’s Bond movie with appropriate, in fact baffling, sound effects.

I have been appreciating all the work on this thread about this suspect story re: fake photos and coincidental military excercises.

This post is about coincidences which support the view that the media / entertainment industries are complicit in this complete or partial hoax.


I was in the London underground when the Ash story was announced as travellers to Heathrow airport were warned of flight cancellations. I found it surreal that the underground walls featured posters for the upcoming tour of the band ASH, playing their A-Z material:



(A-Z = Alpha to Omega which is associating apocalyptic themes with the word "Ash")

The band's National tour begins tomorrow (April 19) and the band has not been slow to capitalise on the new connotations of their name. This new poster from the band's facebook page:

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=4 ... 6530446436


Yes, the band is having fun with this "coincidence".

Another coincidence:
ASH scheduled to play a live session on Lauren Laverne's show on BBC Radio 6 on April 15 2010, the day the volcanic ASH story broke!
Obviously the BBC is a public service and not a propaganda machine so it must be a total innocent coincidence rather than an inside joke / swaggering media machismo.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00rzmmc

Lauren Laverne:
Today, as a massive cloud of volcanic ash drifts into UK airspace, darkening our skies and causing travel chaos, other stations will be merely reach for the ASH best-of, to play you an indie classic by the Downpatrick trio, possibly Kung Fu, not so here at 6 music, oh no, were’re gonna be joined live by the band themselves live in session after eleven o clock, which ironic dove-tailing of indie music radio and news hasn’t been seen since the time we had the “Tallest Man on Earth” in session on the day the actual shortest man on Earth died.
...Marvellous and perplexing mysteries that the show contains

This is not the first craftily timed ASH appearance of the band on BBC 6.
On Feb 17th 2010, BBC 6 marked “Ash Wednesday” with an appearance by the band and playing 4 songs including “Jesus says” and “War with Me”.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00qts75


(Ash Wednesday is a day of repentence in the season before Easter.)

Ash the band has tended towards messianic/religious themes as well as James Bond / Star Wars themes.

Their video for the 2001 single "There's a star" was filmed on a volcanic beach in Iceland.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMZKWC1XSXc<img

Although there's no Lava in the video, the melody and instrumentation of the song is reminiscent of You Only Live Twice - the James Bond film which does feature volcanoes and lava...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDitUVMMzE0

from opening credits of You Only Live Twice

All I can say is, in the bond story, the volcano was a blatant reference to sexual orgasm:



So, in terms of "broad themes to exploit" we're seeing Bond among them...

The timing of the band Ash's tour dates and media appearances are odd, and given it's the BBC, not innocent in my opinion.

[idschmyd]

I think you're right. The Stinky BBCnt celebrating its stench. Great to see you snuffing it out, TM.

[simonshack]

It's business as usual. Here in Italy they keep saying:
"The grounding of the air traffic has hit the airlines even harder than on 9/11"... :rolleyes:

Poor, penniless airlines... Let's bail them out, folks. If you can, make a donation. Or you might never fly again.

An here's an article from the Netherlands :

AND NOW, right on cue, the latest news are that the HEKLA volcano has started erupting too - and a NEW smokefart is heading for Great Britain! This sh#t ain't over, folks!

Hekla Has NOT Started Erupting

Despite what many tweets would have, Mt. Hekla has not started erupting.This has been confirmed by Grapevine representatives on location, and the whole of the Icelandic media. We have no idea how this crazy rumour got started, but we imagine some genius spotted the R?V webcam of Hekla (their "Hekla watch," which has been ongoing for years, as Hekla is overdue for an eruption), spotted a plume or two and did some pretty awful guesswork.

Now, we love us some high spirited conjecture as much as the next hack journalist, but y'all folks should really make sure to make sure your tweets and retweets and untweets and fortweets have some grounding in reality before tweeting them all into oblivion.

There is enough disinformation going around as is.

Just wait and see. As the huge NATO exercise is ending the airports will for some STRANGE reason open up again. ;) (22nd - 23rd April)

Hekla Has NOT Started Erupting

Woah, really? It hasn't ?

Hmm, then I'll have to file a complaint with Italy's largest newspaper, my dear & trusted "LA Repubblica" ... :D
Does La Repubblica gather its news from 'tweeters' ?

E ha iniziato a eruttare anche l'Hekla, un vulcano situato nella frattura che attraversa l'isola da sud-ovest a nord-est. Si tratta di uno dei pi? attivi dell'Islanda: nell'ultimo millennio sono state registrate circa 20 eruzioni, l'ultima nel 2000.

http://www.repubblica.it/esteri/2010/04 ... i-3447102/

But of course, La Repubblica has great videos you can watch to witness the real thing in eruption:

How much in Taxes are going to save us from these catastrophic and horrific events in future.

I am pretty sure some jerk will show up soon and have a solution to get us out of fear mode but it will come at a price so be ready to open your wallets.

Good call, D. Duck, the fairy tales started to appear the same day you posted the above.

Things are getting worse! Send money!

“Climate Change A Global Security Threat, Says Strategic Study” April 17, 2010

“Climate change is a global security threat that affluent nations as well as poor states need to confront at whatever cost to head off a catastrophic chain of events, the London International Institute for Strategic Studies said in a new study. The IISS announced the new study as European air transport was hit by a volcanic eruption in Iceland that unleashed a huge pall of ash over the continent. Airports shut and people reported breathing difficulties in some areas amid scientific predictions the volcano under the Eyjafjallajokull glacier in Iceland could continue to spew lava for months.”

http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/Cli ... 6235825.jp “Climate change may trigger more volcanic eruptions” April 18, 2010

“Climate change could spark more volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and landslides, say scientists. In papers published by the Royal Society today, researchers warned that predicted consequences of rising temperatures such as melting ice, rising sea levels and even increasingly heavy storms and rainfall could affect the Earth's crust. Even small changes in the environment could trigger activity such as earthquakes and tsunamis and some evidence suggests the consequences of climate change were already having an impact on geological activity in places such as Alaska, say researchers writing in the journal the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A.”

Re-Think of Volcano Measures
Governments Must Base Decisions on Fact Not Theory


Paris - The International Air Transport Association (IATA) sharply criticized European governments for their lack of leadership in handling airspace restrictions in light of the Icelandic volcano eruption and urged a re-think of the decision-making process.

“We are far enough into this crisis to express our dissatisfaction on how governments have managed it - with no risk assessment, no consultation, no coordination, and no leadership. This crisis is costing airlines at least 200 million a day in lost revenues and the European economy is suffering billions of dollars in lost business. In the face of such dire economic consequences, it is incredible that Europe’s transport ministers have taken five days to organize a teleconference,” said Giovanni Bisignani, IATA’s Director General and CEO.

“Governments must place greater urgency and focus on how and when we can safely re-open Europe’s skies. This means decisions based on risk-management, facts and utilizing operational procedures that maintain safety,” said Bisignani.

IATA criticized Europe’s unique methodology of closing airspace based on theoretical modeling of the ash cloud. “This means that governments have not taken their responsibility to make clear decisions based on facts. Instead, it has been the air navigation service providers who announced that they would not provide service. And these decisions have been taken without adequately consulting the airlines. This is not an acceptable system particularly when the consequences for safety and the economy are so large,” said Bisignani.

“Safety is our top priority. Airlines will not fly if it is not safe. I have consulted our member airlines that normally operate in the affected airspace. They report missed opportunities to fly safely. The European system results in blanket closures of airspace. I challenge governments to agree on ways to flexibly re-open airspace. Risk assessments should be able to help us re-open certain corridors, if not entire airspaces,” said Bisignani.

To assist governments in assessing risk, airlines have conducted successful test flights in several European countries. The results have not shown any irregularities or safety issues. Airlines are also exploring various operational measures to maintain safe operations. These include day flights, restrictions to specific flight corridors, special climb and descent procedures, and more frequent detailed boroscopic engine inspections to detect damage.

The scale of airspace closures currently seen in Europe is unprecedented. “We have seen volcanic activity in many parts of the world but rarely has it resulted in airspace closures - and never at this scale. When Mount St. Helens erupted in the US in 1980, we did not see large scale disruptions, because the decisions to open or close airspace were risk managed with no compromise on safety,” said Bisignani, who urged Eurocontrol to establish a volcano contingency centre capable of making coordinated decisions.

Bisignani called for an urgent meeting of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the specialized agency of the UN, to define government responsibility for the decisions to open or close airspace in a coordinated and effective way based on real data and special operating procedures.
