“Sometimes in combination, multiple pesticides are many times more toxic than either one would be individually ...A chemical combination can be 1,000 times more toxic than each of the individual pesticides.”

September 25, 2008 Washington, D. C. - For two years, honey bees have been dying and disappearing in massive numbers throughout North America, Europe and spreading to other parts of the world. Half of Italy’s bee population died in 2007 and in September 2008, the Italian government issued a ban on four nicotine-based pesticides linked to honey bee deaths, including clothianidin and imidacloprid. Argentina has lost more than 30% of its bees and the British Beekeepers Association reports that one-third of English honey bee hives did not survive through this past spring. The Association says if colony collapse disorder continues, “honey bees will disappear completely from Britain by 2018, causing calamitous economic and environmental problems.”

Cell Phone Use Linked to Male InfertilityHands-Free Calls May Expose Sperm to Radiation
By Denise Mann
“Sept. 19, 2008 -- Men, beware: Using a hands-free device with a cell phone may affect your fertility if you keep your phone close to your testicles, Cleveland Clinic researchers warn in the journal Fertility and Sterility.
Men who use these hands-free devices tend to carry their cell phones in their pants pocket or clipped to their belts at the waist while in talk mode. As a result, they may be exposing their testicles to damaging radio frequency electromagnetic waves, explains Ashok Agarwal, Ph.D., head of the Andrology Laboratory and the Director of the Center for Reproductive Medicine at the Glickman Urologoical and Kidney Institute at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio.
‘The Bluetooth devices, which many people are using these days because of health or safety concerns, may not be always so safe. There is a downside,’ he says.
Cell Phone Radiation Affects Sperm Quality
To arrive at their findings, researchers collected semen samples from 32 men and divided each man's sample into two parts. They placed half of the semen samples 2.5 centimeters away from a 850 MHz frequency cell phone in talk mode for one hour. Most cell phones used in the U.S. are 850-900 MHz. They chose this distance because it is the typical distance between the testes and the trouser pockets.”
September 25, 2008 Washington, D. C. - On September 19, 2008, the published research of Ashok Agarwal, Ph.D., Director of the Center for Reproductive Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio made national and international headlines. This was Dr. Agarwal's second study of cell phone radiation on sperm and he reported: “On average, there was an 85% increase in the amount of free radicals for all the subjects in the study. Free radicals have been linked to decreased sperm quality in previous studies.” In another study, Dr. Agarwal found that 361 men who used their cell phones more than four hours a day had significantly lower sperm quality than those who used their cell phones for less time.

“I’m sure the CIA would have killed me to prevent my getting out and talking about the classified UFO stuff. We had 26 people to start with in that CIA Project Blue Book and I was the only one that survived and got out because my boss helped me with the phony body cover.”
September 24, 2008 Albuquerque, New Mexico - The following transcript is from the third taped interview I did by phone with Stein a day after I played excerpts from the previous two recordings with Stein's permission on Dreamland hosted by Art Bell. Since Stein had been warned that his or my or both of our phones were tapped, I called to check about any repercussions from the radio program. He said no one had called him at that point. I also asked him if he could send me copies of his Army Signal Corps discharge records from 1956 to 1960.

“This is a classic Titanic situation in the sense that what we saw with the Fannie and Freddie bailouts and the Bear Stearns bailouts and now the AIG request for more than forty billion more dollars from the federal government – it’s just like the Titanic where the rich and affluent were given the lifeboats and the rest of the people went under from steerage. The rich and powerful are too big to fail; the rest of us are too small to save.”

“The whole craft was like an electronic circuit and the aliens had to be inside the craft with headbands on and their fingertips in control panels in order to complete the electronic circuit to make it fly.”
But when I went to Area 51 with my boss in 1958, I did see another type of being that had the great big eyes and little, pointed chin, that has since been called a ‘Grey.’
CAN YOU DESCRIBE THAT EXPERIENCE IN DETAIL?
We were out there at Area 51 for a meeting of all the CIA people around this country and from the Far East. The meeting was related to the CIA Project Blue Book and they wanted the meeting at Area 51. There were only five of us involved directly with Project Blue Book who went from our southeastern military base. They had meetings a little base the USAF had there.

September 5, 2008 Tucson, Arizona - “You cannot see it, taste it or smell it, but it is one of the most pervasive environmental exposures in industrialized countries today. Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) or electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are the terms that broadly describe exposures created by the vast array of wired and wireless technologies that have altered the landscape of our lives in countless beneficial ways. However, these technologies were designed to maximize energy efficiency and convenience – but not with biological effects on people in mind. Based on new studies, there is growing evidence among scientists and the public about possible health risks associated with these technologies.”

Phone Interview # 2 -
May 25, 1998, Stein Received Phone Warning -
After Apparent Phone Tap
Stein was retired and living in the southeastern United States. I was living and working in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He and I had talked by phone for the first times on May 2 and May 7, 1998. To his surprise, on Monday, May 25, 1988, he received a phone call from a male voice who did not introduce himself and did not address Stein by name, but who warned Stein not to talk about an “assassination squad” based in the southeastern military base where the CIA Project Blue Book analysis of UFO photographs and film was also carried out. The clear implication was that one or both of our phones were tapped.

“Our lawsuit is to uncover critical information that the U. S. government is withholding about the risks posed by nicotine-based pesticides to honey bees. EPA should be evaluating the risks to bees before approving new pesticides, but now refuses to tell the public what it knows.”
August 31, 2008 Gainesville, Florida - It was 18 months ago in February 2007 at Earthfiles that I reported my first interviews with Penn State and University of Pennsylvania scientists about honey bee disappearances that came to be known as “Colony Collapse Disorder,” or CCD. [ See: 022307 Earthfiles.] I also interviewed David Hackenberg, a beekeeper from Pennsylvania, about his massive disappearance of honey bees. That fall of 2006, Dave Hackenberg lost 60% of his bee colonies; in 2007 he lost 80% of his bees and went into debt to stay in business. He told me, “I am trying to stay as far away from all those nicotine-based chemicals as I can.” He had become convinced that those pesticides (such as Imidicloprid and Clothianidin) were the main problem in the disappearance of his bees.

“In 1946-1947, the United States had a scientific mission to Antarctica under Admiral Byrd and we had military interaction there with aliens and their saucer craft, like a mini-war.
We lost all of our aircraft.”
- “Stein,” Former Army/CIA UFO Analyst
Original Earthfiles 20-part Interview with Former Army/CIA UFO Analyst based on 1998 transcripts first released by Linda Moulton Howe beginning August 27, 2008, Albuquerque, New Mexico - Ten years ago in April 1998, I received a phone call from a California resident who said he was an acquaintance of a man whose father-in-law had worked for the Central Intelligence Agency in the late 1950s and his work included E. T. and UFO investigations. The caller thought I should talk with the son-in-law to see if I could speak with the then 62-year-old father-in-law living in the southeastern United States whose health was deteriorating.
