Fake Snow in America: The Final Analysis

The late, comedian George Carlin left us with some wonderful words of wisdom – “Question everything.” There are questions that we are comfortable with and others that we are very uncomfortable about asking. Question everything means ask away and ask anyway. My step-dad taught me an amazing lesson. He said that he took a juggling class and the first thing they taught him was to drop the ball. He asked, “Do you know why?” I said, “That’s strange. Why would they teach that?” He said, “…because most people are deftly afraid of messing up, of being wrong.”


So, it should come as no surprise that most people greeted the news of fake snow falling in Atlanta with some caution and a degree of skepticism. And, that’s a good thing. Yet, a better response came from those who chose to go out and experiment for themselves. Edison learned 999 ways that an inventor could not make a light-bulb before finding one way he could. And, some experimenters (much to their chagrin) learned about the process of sublimation, where a solid is converted directly into a gas. Others immediately suspected that it might be the butane causing the black, oily plastic-looking coating on the snow. Still, others had questions beyond that. For some, the snow didn’t even melt when placed on a hot-plate. Others, like myself, saw particulates rising out of the melting snow.

So, the final analysis is quite inconclusive in this respect. Who knows? What we do know is this. It is our duty as citizens of this great nation to question everything. Break a few eggs. See what’s inside!

We live in an age of NSA spying and unprecedented political corruption. We live in an age where twenty planes can be seen overhead spraying God-only-knows-what over a major city (times twenty cities) before a snowstorm. We live in an age of reality TV and 24/7 entertainment, with very little public media is dedicated to the dissemination of needed information.

So, you know what? Kudos to the people who set the snow ablaze. Your actions brought attention to the fact that there are chem-trails in the skies above America. Your actions brought attention to the fact that our children are breathing and eating this mess. So, to hell with saving face. We want some answers, even if we have to get them through trial-by-error.

I, for one, am proud of how Americans acted today. Today, America stood up, where for the longest it has sat silently still. Today, you were indeed patriotic.

On another note, I cannot help but see the obvious synchronicities. These were initially pointed out by David Wilcock (www.divinecosmos.com) who noticed that the all the snow, the polar vortex, the arctic blast, and the general big chill in America seemed to echo thoughts associated with the chilling news that the NSA has been spying on Americans. He points out that it was Edward Snowden, someone who has since sought political asylum in another country, who blew the lid off this whole mess.

It’s an eerie synchronicity. “Snowden” and “snowed-in” are homonyms. Perhaps, this is the Universe’s way of sending a wake-up call. We were being “snowed” by our government. “Snowed” is a word that means – to charm or mislead with elaborate insincere words. Our government (the U.S.) was telling us one thing while doing another. And, when they got caught with their hands in our in-boxes, they didn’t come clean. They simply dropped more “fake snow” on us.

I compare what happened with the NSA to being in a relationship, where there is an expectation of trust and a commitment to communicate everything. Then, you find out your mate has been spying on you. Your mate hacked your Facebook account, reads your text messages, and is taping all of your private conversations. Then, when you say that it’s wrong and that you’re uncomfortable about not knowing, that same mate says that it was done for your protection. “I had to protect you against yourself.”

This is the climate in America. Is there any wonder that there is a chill in the room? Is there any wonder why the relationship has gone cold?

Word is – two Norwegians have nominated Snowden for the Nobel Prize. Again, if we use our relationship metaphor, we can compare Snowden to a marriage counselor who gives it to you straight. The counselor wants to bring peace back into the home, into the marriage. He wants to show the offending party the error of his ways.

America has for a long time been a bully to its citizens and its neighbors. How can love and trust exist in a relationship like that? The neighbors feel that Snowden has done a good thing. The government wants to put the skeleton back in the closet. If this was marriage counseling, we would have to conclude that the offending party simply doesn’t get it. In a partnership, you let someone know where you stand, what you’re doing and why you are doing it. Let the other party make the choice of whether they want to get with the program or not.

So, it snowed in Atlanta. The mayor was not warned of the changing weather conditions in-time. The consequences were grave. I believe that this is God’s way of showing us, on a miniature scale, what can happen in the event of a major crisis. We are like the proverbial “little house-wife”. We’re at-home, all alone with the children, and blissfully unaware of what’s going on around us and over our heads. We are trusting our mate to bring us news of what’s really going on.

So, God is saying – ignorance of the law is no excuse. You can and will get caught out there. It might mean your life. So, WAKE UP! Well, today, Americans woke up. We asked questions. We shared information. We stood together. This is a good thing. So, in the final analysis, I must say – we weathered the storm, fake snow or not.
