  1. wow, I see that the government is still spreading those PARTICULATES in the air causing snow in JULY in South America????!!!!! People are slowly being poisoned by their governments and either don’t know or don’t care!

  2. In Chile, they have a HAARP base with many antennas.
    They are experimenting with HAARP and are killing each other. (This time … of cold.)
