Dove finisce il tossico bario fabbricato dalla multinazionale belga
Solvay a Massa, il più grande produttore al mondo? Recenti analisi hanno ritrovato
il potente agente igroscopico - utilizzato anche dalla NATO per l'aerosolchemioterapia di massa in Europa - sulle montagne
attorno a Bolzano. Anche tante persone che si sono sottoposte all’esame del
capello (il mineralogramma) hanno scoperto di avere dentro il proprio organismo
notevoli quantità di bario. Forse innumerevoli ed inconsapevoli sventurati l'avranno ingurgitato dall’aria imbottita di
nanoparticolato, scaricato da velivoli a bassa quota in Italia, a partire dal 2002?
Chi sono i clienti della "Solvay Bario e Derivati"? Singolare coincidenza: la Solvay figura ufficialmente nell’elenco
di industrie che hanno aderito all’accordo segreto sul controllo del clima,
firmato a Genova il 19 luglio 2001 da George W. Bush e Silvio Berlusconi, durante
la mattanza dei pacifisti, poi ratificato a Roma il 22 gennaio 2002.
Nel 1994 il gruppo Solvay decide di spostare dalla
Germania a Massa la produzione di solfato di bario.
Attualmente si producono una serie di derivati inorganici
del Bario, del calcio, dello Stronzio e del Sodio ed a tal proposito nell'area
produttiva sono presenti diversi impianti chimici per la realizzazione di:
Solfuro di Bario, Solfato di Bario, Idrossido di Bario, Cloruro di Bario,
Carbonato di Bario ad alta purezza, Idrossido di Bario ad alta purezza,
Carbonato di Stronzio ad alta purezza, Idrossido di Stronzio ad alta purezza,
Carbonato di Calcio ad alta purezza, Solfuro di sodio, Solfidrato di sodio, Polisolfuro
di Bario, carbonato di bario tecnico.
Secondo quanto dichiarato da un portavoce della Solvay: «…micronizzazione
della polvere: Solvay bario e derivati può dunque realizzare delle polveri di
finezza tale da ricoprire con 1 grammo di prodotto da 10 mq di superficie, fino
addirittura a 70/80 mq di superficie».
Nel 2018 la Solvay ha prospettato l'aumento della produzione di carbonato di Bario. Peraltro, il sito industriale toscano (un'autentica discarica secondo le autorità di controllo italiane) è anche notevolmente
inquinato come accertato dall’Arpat e dal
ministero dell’Ambiente. I maggiori produttori mondiali di bario sono nell'ordine dopo la Solvay: Chemicals Products Corporation (CPC), (USA), Kimpe Sarl (Francia), Norkem BV (Paesi Bassi); da qualche anno anche la Cina è annoverata fra i maggiori produttori di Bario.

properties. Sensor measurements are fed back to the third subsystem, which
includes a network of Ground Control Stations (GCSs). GCSs provide energy beam
guidance by estimating each beam's characteristics and its aim point trajectory
as functions of time. Integration of these three subsystems establishes a
sensor feedback energy beam guidance and control loop. SWMS's weather
modification applications include alteration of precipitation, reclaiming of
wasteland, reducing damage by bad weather, and improving environment. Its
non-weather related applications include supplying concentrated energy to
electricity generating stations (solar, wind and hydro), high latitude
greenhouse farms, and solar powered airplanes.
