http://jana-sovereignstate.blogspot.com/2014/08/the-death-of-boulder-cos-trees.html
The secondary stressors such as pest, disease and pollution effects, plus roots covered by concrete only
act in the selection process as to which tree dies next.
Secondary challenges are only speeding the die off that is already occurring.
While influences such as Monsantos Roundup Ready would impact in agricultural areas, in the city
and in the hills the similar death symptoms are observable.

OZONE BREAKDOWN
The protective layer of Ozone (03) layer surrounds the Earth between six and thirty miles above sea
level and filters solar and cosmic rays from reaching our planet.
According to Walter Russell in his book Atomic Suicide? (1957)
radiation released into the atmosphere would break down oxygen...and by extrapolation I assume ozone
also.
He said that if the development of the nuclear weaponry and nuclear industry continues it will
DROUGHT?
Although we have NCAR the atmospheric research station here, city officials seem to be at a loss as to
why the trees are dying back and have set up insect catching devises around town to catch the
offending tree murderer bugs.
Government scientists must be under a gag order because an NCAR scientist informed me he did not
know any reason why the ozone layer would affect tree survival and attributed the tree decline to
drought.
I know drought damage. I arrived in Boulder 2000 the summer of a 7 year drought.
Even extreme drought damage looks normal compared to the die offs and morphological changes.
Sure, water shortage is a problem and stresses the trees, but the same death pattern and changes are
occurring just as readily in trees right next to the water courses.
We have had an unseasonably wettish summer14 thus there is still a lot of green, which somewhat
masks the devastation that is occurring.
Massive tree carnage that will be very obvious to all next year.
SUNBURN!
The summer14 the sun burns with a cruelty I have never before encountered.
Any mammal with skin should know that the sun contains more burning rays than before and that the
FUKU radiation must have reduced the ozone layer in the northern hemisphere.
The increased sunburn along with radiation in the rain and snow must be reducing the immune
system of the trees and causing them to basically cook on the inside by heat-generating and
chemically reactive nuclear isotopes.
You can mediate the symptoms to reduce the damage from excess UVB and radiation, but chances are
the entire city will die back, and then regenerate 50 or 100 years down the line.
The extra UVB is only one of the stressors.
To adapt to the increased solar intensity the leaves of many species are more silvery on the underside
and the leaf storks are twisted and elevated making the overall leaf coverage more reflective than
absorbing.
Some species are thus a riot of silver when the wind blows through the trees.
Necrosis and hardening of the phloem leaf stems causing the twisting
of the leaf stems to present the undersides to the sun.
RADIOACTIVITY
I am working on a tritium toxicity theory arising from my observations of the changes in morphology
this year.
Tritium (3H) is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen that emits beta particles with a maximum energy of
18 keV (average 5.7 keV) as it decays into helium.
Tritium is a naturally occurring radioactive form of hydrogen that is produced in the atmosphere when
cosmic rays collide with air molecules.
As a result, tritium is found in very small or trace amounts in groundwater throughout the world.
The nucleus of tritium (sometimes called a triton) contains one proton and two neutrons, the extra
neutron makes it unstable.
Tritium has a half-life of 12.3 years and emits a weak form of radiation, a low-energy beta particle
similar to an electron; that appears to be 2-3 times more able to cause some kinds of damage in
biological material than do gamma-rays.
Dr. Tore Straume (1995) stated that the biological effects of tritium beta rays were likely to be
substantially larger, i.e. 4 to 5 times larger, than previously thought.
The radiation from tritium doesnt travel very far in air and cannot penetrate the skin, however
ingesting, inhaling or absorbing it poses a serious threat to human health.
Once tritium enters the body, it disperses quickly and is uniformly distributed throughout the soft
tissues.
Since the body is not able to distinguish between radioactive and non-radioactive chemicals.
Radioresistance
Radioresistance is the property of organisms that are capable of living in environments with very
high levels of ionizing radiation.
Several cellular radioprotection mechanisms may be involved, such as alterations in the levels of some
cytoplasmic and nuclear proteins and increased gene expression, DNA repair and other processes.
The reason the smallest living things adapt swiftly to new threats like ionizing radiation has to with
reproductive span.
The faster you breed, the more quickly you can adapt.
Larger forms of life breed, and therefore adapt, more slowly.
So in the aftermath of a nuclear disaster (or war), the first to recover are naturally the smallest, but not
because they are any simpler.
Do trees scream?
They do to anyone who has eyes to hear.
The unobservant cannot see the ecosystem,
and their food supply collapsing around their ears.
TREE SYMPTOMS
The health of trees is a reflection of the health of the environment total, including the health of the
planet and atmosphere.
The symptoms the plants exhibit in Boulder are not normal by any means.
Some species, and some individuals are in more rapid decline than others.
Whole trees die off right next to surviving trees of the same species.
Through a broad range of species, many trees are dying branch by branch from the top down.
Conifer (pine) species are being hard hit perhaps because they have a lack of resources because they
make the soil acid and impoverished, and because they do not lose their leaves.
Last year I noticed the Thujas going first, now many species of conifers are in their death throws.
Juniper is still holding out because its leaves are fatter and more waxy.
The deciduous trees are fairing better because they get new leaves each year with a fresh resistance to
radiation.
Morphology
Fewer leaves, smaller leaves, leaf galling, leaf growths, increased thinness, premature leaf fall, growth
reduction.
The stems of the leaves seem thicker than usual and the leaves are more compact; in many species leaf
storks are turning up presenting the leaf in an upward reach when normally they turn downwards.
In multiple species the undersides of the leaves are more silver than usual and with the leaf orientation
being all cockeyed the trees are silvery when the wind blows through the leaves.
Epidermis Damage
The plant cuticle is a protecting film covering the epidermis of leaves, consisting of lipid and hydrocarbon polymers impregnated with wax, and is synthesized exclusively by the epidermal cells.
The waxy leaf covering acts to conserve water by internalizing the gas exchange surfaces, enclosing
them in a waterproof membrane and with the stomatal guard cells, regulating the rates of transpiration
and CO2 exchange.
Loss of waterproofing on the leaves may lead to the increased loss of water from the tree via
evaporation; this may produce dehydration even when soil water and rainfall are adequate.
The leaves of most species are dull as if acid rain has etched off the shiny waxy surface of the leaf.
This dull graying of the leaves is one of the main signs that makes the trees look like they are dying
(losing lifeforce, immunity and strength).
Damage to the cuticle surface of the leaf also leaves the leaf more vulnerable to damage by solar
radiation, wind-burn, fungi and pest attack and desiccation.
Rain containing ionizing radiation also eats away at the surfaces of cars, buildings and everything that
can corrode via oxidation.
Yellowing
The chlorosis is not nutrient deficiency, or if it is, it is due to the radiological collapse of soil-biota and
mycor-rhiza, therefore the disruption of mineral assimilation and transportation/utilization.
Possible radioactive interference with choroplasts and phytosynthesis as many species are of a lighter
leaf color even when not obviously chlorotic.
Even leguminous nitrogen fixing trees are suffering from branch die back and truncated yellowing leaf
growth.
In one species the leaves on the sunny side of the tree showing minute holes etched as though they
were mesh, while leaves on the other side of the plant are still green and relatively normal.
Necrosis
The leaves have brown speckling and the edges have marginal leaf burn and burnt tips, curled,
speckled, chlorotic leaves, rusting.
The mottled brown specks die out and become holes, leaving the leaves as though moth eaten.
Due to the speckling and leaf burn landscapes look as if they had been sprinkled with powdered rust.
The speckling one can only assume is due to radionuclide contamination of the rain.
As the phloem dies the bark of the trunk starts splitting, cracking and falling off.
The leaves lose color, become russeted, mottled, curled, burnt at the edges, riddled with holes,
blackened and attacked by mould and fungi.
Individual branches and branch tips die off.
The Autumn leaf turning is no longer the joyous array of a spectrum of yellows, oranges and
reds...but is a sad display of humanitys careless destruction to mother earth.
Phloem insufficiency and phloem wounding and abscesses has contributed to a 50% reduction in
overall amount of leaf-cover, and then to chlorosis, leafburn and branch death and ultimately tree death.
Other symptoms such as leaf-surface etching, spotting, galling, misshapen growth etc... are more
directly related to direct radiation exposure through rainfall, snow etc...
The majority of apparent clear and present damage is to the phloem system, which is a kill shot to
inevitable tree death.
Seeping wounds, cracks, peeling bark and blackened spots on the trunks of young trees (6ft-9ft) in
exposed locations is another sign that the phloem sclerosis/necrosis theory of solar and nuclear
radiation is the cause.
Phloem may also be more vulnerable at higher elevations due to multiple factors, but especially due to
the higher solar and nuclear radiation levels.
Hyper-reproduction
The reproductive parts are disproportionate to the leaf cover as the trees try to save themselves by
breeding.
Trees naturally tend toward reproduction when their environments are stressed.
Most trees except the locust are highly reproductive this year, branches are not weighted down with the
leaf growth as usual.
It is the same in the hills as in the town...trees lose branches and whole trees die off right next to water
courses as well as removed from them.
Hopi prophesy says that the end of the world will be near when the trees start dying from the tops
down.
An Arborist will tell you that this is impossible, and yet this is what is occurring.
Disorientation of foliage
Another sign that the phloem theory to tree carnage is correct,
is that the twisting up of leaf stalks and rolling up of leaves is consisting
with solar radiation damage to the sunside of the leaf/stalk.
Thus the increased necrosis and shrinking/shortening of the side of the
leaf-parts exposed to the sun causes the rising up and closing up of the leaf/stalk.
The combination of hot radionuclides in the phloem which cook the sensitive transportation
tissues, and the increased intensity of solar radiation would account for all the symptoms
of SEC seen in Boulder (and elsewhere).
The way bark peels off of living branches and trunks is a surefire symptom of phloem death
the most vital organ of the plant rendered useless by ionizing radiation.
The loss of phloem transportability would also lead to root ineffectiveness,
root death and loss of synergy between the soil microbes and root systems...
not to mention plant immunity and ecosystem common- well being.
All but dead branches still support leaf growth...
dying on the vine so to speak from internal and external solar and ionizing radiation.
The Linden trees and many other trees had an unusual morphological appearance this year, but this
rolling of the leaves at the end of summer is mind boggling.
The lighter greenish-yellow bract hanging down is associated with the seed pods.
Ralph Grauebs
The Petkau Effect contains good information on the damage to forests caused by ionizing radiation.
The Petkau Effect describes how low dose Fukushima radiation is just as deadly in the long term as
high dose radiation is short term.
One kills quickly, the other kills slowly over many years.
Ralph Graueb points out that the effect is synergistic.
Trees are actually quite robust to radiation, but exquisitely vulnerable to chemicals in the air which are
activated by ionization.
Man made radiation is negative transmutation in action. One man made radioactive element
transmutes into another radioactive element, while at the same time, releasing negative, mutation and
cancer producing radiation, on an atomic level, inside cells.
This chaotic and violent process is completely invisible, completely odorless, completely silent, but it
causes chaos inside all living things, shredding and destroying the essence of life itself, the DNA
strands.
Man made radiation only causes harm to seven future generations, in an ever increasing and widening
manner, through the chaotic butterfly effect, through negative transmutation of elements that go on for
millions of years.

In humans and animals low dose effects of chronic ionizing radiation exposure led to several noncancerous effects: Iron accumulation, modification of cytochrome P450 expression, changes in vitamin
D metabolism, increases in paradoxical sleep and anxiety, a decrease in short-term memory, decreased
immune defenses, and modification of cellular density in the intestinal mucosa, decrease in arterial
pressure, increased oxidation and inflammation, and a decrease in mitochondrial function.
SOLAR CYCLES
The biosphere follows cycles of vegetative, reproductive and senescence over the 11 year sunspot
cycle.
This year favors reproduction so there is plentiful fruit and seeds, while the leaves are much smaller,
less green, the canopies are at around 50% less than normal.
So we are probably in a high reproductive cycle according to the solar cycle.
This must be affecting the entire northern hemisphere to one degree or another.
Leaves are stressed by the loss of ozone layer from Fukushima radiation in the upper atmosphere
increasing UVB radiation...even as the sun cycle itself is at a quiet phase.
Plus increased nuclear radiation in the rain and snow.
It will take 2 more years to see if this is a catastrophic dieoff,
or if it is just a temporary phase of combination of solar and atomic influences.
The loss of atmospheric ozone and the radiation from Fukushima is killing the trees in Boulder and
indeed in much of the USA exposed to rainfall/snowfall, high altitude, high UV and drought.
The trees most vulnerable are shallow rooters and those whose roots are covered with concrete,
those with little soil organic matter or humus, demineralized soil, with little mycorrhizae and soil biota
and exposed to vehicle exhaust.
There is a sense that the trees immune systems are collapsing from a broad range of environmental
stressors including drought, loss of water table, pollution, EMF pollution, radiation, excess solar radiation, demineralization, loss of soil organic matter and compromised soil biota.
With the tree branch die off, I assume it is a die back of the root mass, forcing the tree to do a selfpruning of the upper branches.
This tree die off is undoubtedly caused by a radiation reduction in the ozone layer, combined with
radiation in precipitation destroying the microbal foundations of the tree roots starving certain more
vulnerable trees.
When microbes are depleted from the soils, they are no longer present to convert inorganic minerals
into organic minerals needed by plants.
Enhanced bio-remediation involves making nutrients available and conditions favorable for microbes
which are capable of destroying and degrading many contaminants as well as supporting nutrition,
hydration and immunity of plants.
Tree damage in the hills is similar, minus the extra stresses of concrete, EMF and air pollution.
For sure the microwave activity of all the wifi in town might be an added stress.
Not even related to towers themselves, but simply the blanket of wifi interfering with the trees EMF,
signaling and their souls or blueprint.
Certain trees not in ideal conditions or compromised by human structural interference such as concrete
are dying first.
Even the trees right next to the stream are dying on the lower branches, a sign that the entire tree is on
the way out, with the dying process taking 10 years or more.
The branch die off is not simply due to the superheating of the trunk effect.
The trees appear to be so stretched in their biological metabolism that they are making last ditched
efforts to survive via reproduction and conservation of resources.
Some trees are economizing by the die back of under branches that get little sun, while other branches
on the tops of trees, are going, while still other branches are dying and the trunk itself is sprouting
foliage and suckers.
In many pine trees the older needles have already turned brown and died, leaving only the green tips
intact.
I saw it coming on last summer, but this summer everyday now I see tree carnage getting worse.
If things continue at this pace of acceleration the area will be denuded of tree cover in 5 years...making
way for mega-fires throughout Colorado, Canada and the States.
I estimate that within 10 years only the radiation resistant genres and those in ideal growing conditions
will be alive.
When considering a total kill of tree cover...some of the effects such as loss of water table due to runoff
could be mediated with a major engineering project of swales, mulch, compost tea etc...to allow soft
herbaceous vegetation to flourish.
Pioneer species (gorse, broom, lupin, etc..) may have to be planted to hold soil on the land until the
ozone layer is revived and the radioactivity is reduced enough for trees to be re-established.
Permaculturalists such as Geoff Lawton and David Holmgren should be consulted prior to engaging in
a city-wide, state-wide or continent-wide game plan.
The city could save some of the trees by mulching with compost, inoculating with mycorrhizae and soil
biota and remineralizing, compost tea, humalite/leonardite, and green cropping under trees with legume
groundcovers.
And reworking the hardtop surface runoff into sinks and swales to build up the water table throughout
the city.
Mother earth doesnt lie.
We study her or we die,
Love nature or go bye bye.
Grokking Nature is the greatest high!
Think for yourself as though your life depended on it.
Dont wait for definitive information from the governments, institutions, medical industry, universities
or local officials for knowledge about the collapse of the northern hemisphere biosphere because it will
not be publicly declared.
It will be passed off as global warming, earth changes, drought and all manner of minor red herrings.
If you have a personal relationship with certain scientists then approach them, but dont waste your
time spreading the word to officialdom.
In practical terms, it is irrelevant really as to the admixture and quantity of radiation...since the SEC is
obviously caused by radiation, and there is very little we can do about it.
Except for academic and governmental reasons, tests for the amount of radioactivity in our
environment are pointless in practical terms as to what we the people should do about SEC.
Without serious equipment a true scientific assay couldnt be reached.
OBSERVE-INQUIRE-ACT
If you observe your own area you will see that there is a ubiquitous pattern of die off in ALL
vegetation, which cannot be explained by anything prior to the nuclear industry age.
All normal plant death/disease causes and symptoms are secondary to this fundamental ubiquitous
cause.
The multiple stressor factors are incidental...for the trees would be in a normal state of industrial age
decline...same as ANYWHERE else in the world.
In the paper Saving the Urban Tree I have given the methods for mediating damage,
however the only long term solution is actively planting radiation-resistant plants...as the radiation will
still be falling for hundreds of years.
The quicker people wake up and start planting radiation-resistant species...the stronger the health of the
land and continent.
Small sustainable communities that pull out of the paradigm of decline will be able to maintain quality
of ecosystem and quality of life.
When greed and profit rule...
the ecology of abundance is broken,
the economy is unsustainable and collapse is inevitable
and areas where Roundup was used and maybe washed down into tree root zones could be the problem
in some of those urban plantings.
It is apparent to me that because the bank of resources in the trees allows them to hold onto their
greenery long after the kill shot of the atomic physical-mechanical damage to the phloem in the roots
and trunk has already manifested...that we are seeing only the 1/10 top of the iceberg, and that the
damage is far greater than is observable even now.
I have never seen the iceberg principle more perfectly displayed than in the death of the Boulder
trees...without even taking into account genetic mutation further down the line.
This is however a part of the overall iceberg principle inherent in the degenerative capacity of
civilization as a whole.
Cooked food and 12K years of agriculture and cereal production etc...have deteriorated the species to
the point of being an extreme danger to itself and the planet.
The consequent loss of lucidity, morality, intimacy, social connection and cosmic connection leads to
all the symptoms of the collapse of civilization we see about us today on every conceivable level from
soil to soul...manmade error from subatomic to Godhead.
With our industrial bastardization of nature that degeneration is increasing at a geometric rate of
decline, much of which we are not yet conscious of because of the iceberg effect...of most of the
damage being hidden from view or covered over with palliative solutions.
Even modern medicine, or especially modern medicine is only increasing the rate of decline by
masking the truth of our error and denial of cosmic truth.
Becoming Sapiens IS the highest art,
and the highest science.
Working with nature instead of against it we can create not only
a sustainable civilization, but an evolving one.
WHAT TO DO
Our response to catastrophic,
wholesale, physical, morphological radiological
damage to the biosphere will determine
how relevant it is for the human species to survive.
There are several things that Boulder County can do to mediate the Systemic Environmental Collapse
Syndrome (SECS) and the upcoming loss of tree cover of the city.
Dead trees and branches need to be removed and chipped to avoid public knowledge of the die off
and to avoid fire from lightning strike.
The chipped material needs to be mixed with animal manure and/or human sewage in a rural compost
station that uses a high heat composting method followed by fungal/mushroom transformation of the
resulting humus.
This composting station could be tapped for passive water heating and methane gas, thus generating
the energy needed to run the station and heat greenhouses that grow the starter trees needed for
TASK FORCE
This is a new phenomena for me to observe so I am documenting it and will try and find some arborists
to talk to.
Whatever is happening we need to get involved with finding the causes and the solutions.
It is no longer possible to bear witness to the worldwide atrocities without acting to bring about an
alternative.
It is good to have company in this bio holocaust.
The environment is under extreme stress right now, so unless we are living as closely to the ways of
nature as we can, our energy and health will fail us.
There is some urgency...not from war or economic collapse or encroachment of global fascism...but
from the collapse of the biosphere could create a domino effect of socioeconomic decline and poor
health which then precipitates war, economic collapse, and the encroachment of global fascism.
When we stop hoping for external assistance,
when we stop hoping that the awful situation were in
will somehow resolve itself, when we stop hoping the situation will
somehow not get worse, then we are finally free
truly freeto honestly start working to resolve it.
I would say that when hope dies, action begins.
SYMPTOMS OF ECOSHOCK
Few people are even noticing yet, but by next summer the shock will begin.
Ecoshock may comprise of strange mixture of anger, sadness, stillness, quiet, malevolent glee, stupor,
helplessness, what-the-fuk, incredulousness, superiority, dissociation, and hypervisual acuity.
The symptoms of ecoshock can include frustration, fatigue, clumsiness, anxiety, paranoia, depression,
irritability, black and white thinking, rigidity, and poor decision making.
Short-term illness and clumsiness from the breakdown of the immune system and imbalanced
physiological reactions.
Ecoshock follows the classic stages of grieving: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.
