Fundamental Science Directorate

The Fundamental Science Directorate (FSD) at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) features signature capabilities in the chemical, computational, biological and atmospheric sciences. FSD researchers lead major R&D efforts in Systems Biology and Biotechnology, and Nanoscience & Nanotechnology. Support to the management and scientific oversight of the DOE Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program has been an important part of FSD's climate research activities.

FSD is PNNL's primary steward for research supported by the DOE's Office of Science, including research supported by the Offices of Biological and Environmental Research, Basic Energy Sciences, Advanced Scientific Computing Research, and Fusion Energy.

Additionally, FSD performs research and development for private industry and other government agencies, such as the Department of Health and Human Services, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Defense, and NASA. FSD researchers are members of interdisciplinary teams tackling challenges of national importance that cut across all missions of the Department of Energy.

The directorate is organized into three divisions: Atmospheric Sciences and Global Change, Biological Sciences, and Chemical Sciences.

Houston-based Halliburton is the kind of company that profits off conflict. It is a civilian appendage of the military. It is a military industrial corporation and a lot of former government officials are involved with Halliburton because they are Washington insiders. When Bill Clinton was president, Dick Cheney was the CEO at Halliburton and the bill that the Clinton government got for their services in Kosovo was $2.2 billion plus overcharges.

In Iraq, WITHOUT COMPETITIVE BIDDING, during the reign of the Republican president George W. Bush, Halliburton (to rebuild Iraq´s oil industry) and its subsidiary, Kellogg Brown and Root (for military support services) is making a lot more than it did with Clinton, but no matter how you slice it, the billions of dollars under Democrats or Republicans is still a lot of our money. (The contract with Kellogg Brown and Root is renewable annually through 2011, and there is NO CAP ON SPENDING). And Vice President Dick Cheney received almost $368,000 from Halliburton in _deferred salary_ out of profits from a war HE helped to start.

The other big corporate benefactor from this _illegal_ war with Iraq is Bechtel - the San Fran engineering and construction company with the ($$$) billions of dollars of your/my money for rebuilding an infrastructure we conveniently destroyed with our bombing and sanctions.

Halliburton isn´t squeaky clean either. It has paid millions of dollars in fines, once when a grand jury found it was in collusion with a competitor on construction work for the federal government and for illegal exports to Libya. Recently it was charged fines for inflating the costs at a military base near Monterey, California (that military base is now closed). and Chaney was the CEO at the time. Brown and Root also overbilled the government (that is, you and me) millions of dollars for unnecessary furniture, electric, staffing, etc. in Kosovo. Hallibuton also is subject to a settlement in the billions of dollars for asbestos related claims but thanks to several Republicans a bill has been introduced to put a cap on those claims even though the settlement has already been agreed upon. And even after these infractions, Halliburton was awarded the contracts in Iraq. You try that in your business and see what happens. You will probably be getting your mail in prison while Chaney gets his in Washington.

Cheney received a $20 million retirement package for FIVE YEARS OF EMPLOYMENT and a $1.4 million cash bonus in 2001.

Battelle (Memorial Institute), which began operations in 1929, was established in Columbus, Ohio, by Gordon Battelle and serves as a memorial to his family—leaders in America´s early steel industry.

What does President Warren G. Harding have to do with Battelle? He was selected to be on the original Board of Trustees of Battelle, having been a Battelle family friend. Also to be on the Board were Annie Norton Battelle, two industrialists, and a lawyer. None of these folks had a clue about science, or its possibilities. But, you may ask, how did Battelle come to be, and who was Battelle anyway?

Gordon Battelle was the son of John Battelle, a self-made millionaire from a family which traced itself back to one of the first American colonies. John made his fortune in steel.

When you use a copier, hit a golf ball, or listen to a CD, you´re using technologies developed by Battelle Memorial Institute. The not-for-profit trust operates one of the world´s largest research enterprises, with more than 16,000 scientists and engineers serving some 2,000 corporate and government customers in the US and Europe. Battelle operates three of its own research facilities and manages four other government-sponsored labs, including Brookhaven National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. The company was established in 1929 by the family of Gordon Battelle, an early leader in the steel industry.

and a curious connection to the Bird Flu.......

With federal grant money, augmented by DPI, he said the Battelle Memorial Institute -- a worldwide consulting, product development, and think tank organization -- was hired to analyze last year´s industry response to the Delaware outbreak and make recommendations for improvements.

Also, to help identify weaknesses in disease prevention and make improvements where needed, Mr. Satterfield said each poultry farm on Delmarva is being examined by the company whose birds are on that farm.

He said the assessment reviews farm location, proximity to other farms and companies, nearness to roads, the presence of wild birds in the area, cleanliness and other factors.

Then a "biosecurity" risk score is assigned. Based on the score, and where possible and practical, improvements in disease prevention will be made.

DPI also established a telephone hotline, (888) FLU-COPS, for people to anonymously report suspicious behavior or suspected poultry health risks.

The organization has had discussions with federal authorities regarding an insurance program, similar to crop insurance, for growers who suffer loss of income due to a catastrophic poultry disease outbreak.

and...a connection with viral (HIV/AIDS and hepatitis) and autoimmune diseases.

CIRA Bio has contracted with researchers at Battelle Memorial Institute to complete a commercialization assessment for the cellular therapy approaches. CIRA Bio expects to form a scientific advisory group in the near future to assist in the further development of the clinical and regulatory strategies for the company.

The Battelle Memorial Institute also knows a few things about biological warfare. Read the statement on terrorist and intelligence operations by their Program Manager before the Joint Economic Committee. United States Congress, Wednesday, May 20, 1998:

Here is proof that Battelle are involved in aerosol spraying:
"Dave Whiteman attended the Annual Meeting of the American Association of Agricultural Engineers in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on August 13-14. He presented a paper describing an application of an aerial spray drift model for valley terrain that was developed at Battelle and recently delivered to the U.S. Forest Service. He also attended the annual meeting of the National Spray Model and Application Steering Committee held in conjunction with the ASAE meeting, and presented a progress report on a book that he is writing for the Forest Service, the Army and the National Weather Service entitled "Complex Terrain Meteorology for Natural Resource Managers."

A plane like that shown in the photo and owned by Battelle is NOT a crop sprayer - a plane that size could not fly at the required low altitude over a field.

Read about Batelle´s research into AEROSOL-DELIVERED medicines:
"Battelle offers a unique capability for pulmonary dosimetry based on excellence in pulmonary physiology and test atmosphere characterization. Pulmonary dosimetry may be used to determine inhaled quantities during exposure of numerous species.
Generated aerosols may be characterized for exposure concentration and particle size distribution and controlled using real-time monitoring, including optical light scattering instrumentation and particle mass monitors. Grab samples also may be obtained using filter and bubbler samplers, cascade impactors, and filter samplers.
Our knowledge and experience in aerosol science and engineering often lead to further improvements of the nonclinical aerosol exposure regimen or intended clinical delivery techniques and devices."

Battelle is deeply involved in studying LUNG diseases:
"Battelle has extensive experience in performing pulmonary safety pharmacology assessments. The effects of test materials on lung function are monitored in large and small non-clinical test systems."
http://www.battelle.org/hhs/toxicology/Pulmonary.stm

I wonder what they mean by ´large non-clinical test systems´? Hmmmm...

Battelle is an international leader in chemical and biological defense services:

Question: as world leaders in aerosol delivery of drugs and pesticides and consultants to Congress on international bioterrorism, what company would be better placed to be involved in chemtrails?
