Memo: from Roger Oakland
To: Whoever receives this information.
Please pass it on TO SOMEONE WHO FLIES UNITED
AIRLINES INTERNATIONALLY
Some of you know that I have been sick for several
years. The reason should be obvious when you read
the following correspondence with United Airlines
customer service department.
Some of you also may know that I was involved with a
battle with DOW chemical for a 6 year period between
1982 and 1988. This battle with United is similar
because it involves chemicals..
While I don’t have time to battle United Airlines,
many lives are at stake due to corporate greed and
laws put in place by the New World Order. I have
contacted the LA Times for assistance.. They are not
interested.
Here is a brief overview of the story for those who
are interested.
I
confronted United Airlines about spraying
insecticide and how it is killing me and others.
They have blown me off. I have written them and now
am ready to go public to expose them. Please help
me.
I
submitted the following to United Airlines on
January 10, 2011
PLEASE CONTACT ME ABOUT THE USE OF PESTICIDES IN
UNITED AIRLINES THAT HAVE DAMAGED MY PERSONAL HEALTH
AND THREATENED MY LIFE.
Following is an example of what I know you are doing
and continue to do:
The
Effects of Pesticides * Pesticide Action Network
*Pesticide Action Network
Updates Service (PANUPS)**Airline Passengers Are
Sprayed for Bugs**An
airline flight to the tropics may involve greater
health risks than a
dose
of airline food-- pesticides are routinely sprayed
in aircraft
cabins by U.S. airlines sometimes over the heads of
passengers during
flight. "Disinsection" is the industry term for this
practice, which
continues despite clear evidence of risk to
passengers and crew. People
more
vulnerable to the effects of pesticides, such as
infants, pregnant
woman or asthmatics are informed, if at all, only
just prior to
spraying. Airline flight attendants unions argue
that chemical spraying
is
unnecessary because mechanical methods could be
applied instead.**No
U.S.
agency requires pesticide use on planes. The US
Department of
Transportation website lists the countries that
require in-flight
spraying, and those that will accept the "residual"
treatment as an
alternative. Six countries currently require
pesticide spraying on all
inbound flights: Grenada, India, Kiribati,
Madagascar, Trinidad and
Tobago and Uruguay. The application method varies by
country and
airline. Typically, a pressurized spray containing
2% phenothrin is
sprayed over the passengers' heads during the flight
(also called
"top-of-descent") or upon arrival, but while the
doors are closed.
Alternatively, cabin crew may spray the occupied
cabin prior to
departure after the doors have been closed ("blocks
away"). A member of
the
crew will announce the procedure shortly before they
spray.**Another six countries: Australia, Barbados,
Fiji, Jamaica, New
Zealand and Panama require the use of residual
pesticides. In this case
applicators board the aircraft and spray every
surface in the cabin with
a
solution that contains 2% permethrin. This process
takes place shortly
before crew and passengers board, without their
knowledge. Babies and
children are said to be more sensitive to the
effects of permethrin.
Once
an aircraft has been residually treated, foreign
quarantine
officials will allow it to land without additional
pesticide treatment
for
the next 56 days.**Passengers flying on US domestic
flights may find
themselves on an airliner that has recently been
sprayed. United
Airlines, for example, treats all of its 747-400
aircraft in Hong Kong.
These aircraft are not restricted to the South
Pacific routes; they are
simply scheduled to fly to Australia or New Zealand
during the next 56
days, but in the meantime, can be flown on both
international and
domestic routes..**The International Civil Aviation
Organization reports
that
most airlines use permethrin and pyrethroid, both
are suspected
endocrine disruptors, and permethrin may be a
carcinogen. The Northwest
Coalition for Alternatives to Pesticides (NCAP)
points out that
pesticides cause even greater harm on airplanes,
where up to 50% of the
air
in the cabins is recycled. "Pesticides break down
slowly in the
enclosed, poorly ventilated aircraft," says a NCAP
spokesperson.**The
airlines are not required to inform passengers at
ticket purchase of
flight sprays, and there is also no control over how
much pesticide is
applied on the aircraft. The Association of Flight
Attendants reported
in
2001 that one airline used 50-60% more pesticide
than the maximum
recommended by the World Health Organization.
Between 2000 and 2001, one
cabin crew union received complaints of
pesticide-related illness on
more
than 200 flights. Many complaints cite damp surfaces
and pesticide
odors in crew rest compartments. Crews and
passengers have reported
sinus problems, swollen and itchy eyes, cough,
difficulty breathing,
hoarseness, skin rashes/hives that vary in
intensity, severe headaches
and
fatigue, and heightened sensitivity to other
chemicals. Some crew
members have medical documentation of reactions
consistent with nerve
gas
exposure, such as blood, optic nerve, and nervous
system
abnormalities.**Alternative methods to control
insects on aircraft are
already in use. Since the 1980s, the U.S. Department
of Agriculture
(USDA) has used curtains made of overlapping strips
of plastic to
successfully keep Japanese Beetles off aircraft
destined for the western
states during the summer. Chemically treated
mosquito netting and
blowers in jetways may also be used as alternatives.
A variety of
mechanical means should be tested.**The Association
of Flight Attendants
suggests that passengers contact the airline to find
out if pesticides
will
be sprayed on their flight, or if they will be
boarding a
"residually sprayed" craft. The U.S. Department of
Transportation
website a lso lists countries that require
spray..**Sources: Danger in

Mr
Roger Oakland
This email to United
Airlines had his address , phone number , Mileage
Plus number and Mileage Plus status
Customer Relations at United Airline replied to this
email. The Customer Relations representative stated
that this was not a United Airlines regulation but
rather the governments of curtain countries require
this spraying. If a carrier does not comply with
this they can lose their landing rights.
A
survey was offered asking about the correspondence
with Customer Relations
As
you can understand this did not impress me. I wrote
back the following:
Dear
Catherine,
I
appreciate that you responded. This give me some
respect for United Airlines that I did not have
before you wrote me. As far as filling out a survey
the best way to do that would be in another forum
where the world can see. I have no intentions of
doing that at this point.
The
point I want to make is that, because of the toxic
chemicals sprayed in United AIRCRAFT on flights I
have made with United, my life has been put in
jeopardy. I do not intend to tell you all the
suffering this has caused me both physical, mental
and emotional. I NEARLY DIED BECAUSE OF CHRONIC
IDIOPATHIC URTICARIA AND THE COMPLICATIONS I HAVE
SUFFERED BECAUSE OF THE NEGLIGENCE CAUSED BY WHAT
YOU SAY IS INTERNATIONAL LAW.
With
this in mind, and the many hundreds of thousands of
other passengers who have been subjected in
airplanes to toxic chemicals controlled by
international law in terms of what airlines must
spray, I believe I speak on the behalf of thousands
of passengers and ask for some common sense from
United Airlines.
Will
you let me know who is the US Senate to contact to
launch an investigation into this matter?
Second, what about my upcoming flights to Manilla
and Bangkok coming up soon and then returning to
southern California. How should I prepare for such a
trip?
My
tickets have been purchased. Can you guarantee there
will be no spraying of toxins or will you put me a
place in the plane where the toxins are limited or
at least can be controlled by an oxygen mask or
cover me in garments that prevent toxins from
penetrating and be removed from harms way?
In
good faith I believe that what I am asking for is
only reasonable and possible. I do not plan to stay
home as I have 85 orphans in Myanmar who are
depending on me to arrive to see them.. I do not
have time now to arrange to take a boat or some
other means of transportation.
If
you do have a solution I will be pleased to hear
from you soon. Time is running out. I am leaving on
February the 3rd. Please contact me when you receive
this by phone. My cell number is 714…. …..
Yours truly,
Roger Oakland.

Farmers Advocate
PS
My case has been well documented by the medical
profession and will prove that I do have chronic
idiopathic urticaria and my trips with United
Airlines to Asia and Australia have been my demise.
I
received the a response from United Airlines which
is not what I wanted to get
They
said that a class action suit was the best way to
combat this in the US Senate.
They
advised contacting my Doctor so he might provide a
mask or medication. United airline could not
guarantee that I would be protected from sprays.
They stated that they would refund any money for the
tickets for the incoming flights.
This was my response to Annamarie's nonsense:
Dear
Annamarie,
I do
appreciate your suggestions that you made in your
letter and consider you to be helpful and courteous.
I realize that my concern that I am being slowly
killed by United Airlines is a difficult one for you
to resolve seeing that we are taking a stand against
powerful multinational companies, international
governments and the leaders of the New World Order
who have a plan to reduce the world population by
lowering the population so that it is easier to
control.
In
my view, United Airlines is negligent in standing up
and warning their passengers about this death
threat. Your head CEO writes monthly articles in the
United propaganda magazine, but to the best of my
knowledge he has done absolutely nothing to warn
passengers like me that their lives are in danger
when they board an international flight to Asia and
Australia. This is not only negligent on his part:
it is outright murder. To kill off humans in order
to thin out bed bugs is absolutely ludicrous, isn't
it?
You
are right, a class action suit should be launched to
file punitive damages, not only with United
Airlines, but to all the airlines who allow the
world's financial elite to damage human life. I
suggest that those who are responsible for this
idiotic policy be forced to take a trip in an
airline themselves and be subjected to the highest
dose of poison that can possibly be sprayed in an
aircraft.
It
is not acceptable that I should have to file a class
action suit in order to save my life flying in a
commercial airline. I will accept the mask that you
have offered to provide me in order to get clean
oxygenated air while flying on my next Asian trip.
Also I expect and demand sheets or clothes that will
protect my skin that is exposed. You also need to
know that we will be doing a documentary on how
negligent airlines like United Airlines assist the
New World Order in purposely thinning out the
world's population by spraying toxic chemicals on
customers.
If
your new boss at United thinks that United Customer
Service can deal with this problem without
passengers refusing to fly with United in the
future, tell him to give his head a shake.
Forget a class action suit! I am a farmer, not a
lawyer. I have no intentions of going against
lawyers who are trained to lie and cheat to win
cases because they belong to secret societies like
Skull and Bones and the Illuminati. Every person
with half a brain knows that to get tied up in court
with these numbskulls would be a waste of time and
money. The best way to fight United Airlines is with
the truth in an open ring.
Tell
your boss to take of his gloves and go barefoot.
While I had a stroke last hear following three years
of being sick with Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria
directly initiated by the toxins sprayed by your
company in aircraft, I nearly died. Now I am back
and I still have some fight left in me.
Maybe you don't know what Karl Marx once said: "Give
me 23 lead soldiers and I will change the world."
Well lead
soldiers are in the printing past, but today we have
computers, videos and the internet and able to
communicate worldwide.
Get
ready because the fight has begun.
One
more thing, you offered to give me my money back --
for what? I have hundreds of children tin the
Philippines who are very hungry that Understand The
Times helps them to eat. We have 85 orphaned
children in Myanmar that consider my wife and I
their parents. All this is in memory of my son
Bryce. DO YOU THINK THAT I AM NOT GOING TO GO? That
will NOT happen as long as I am alive.
So
either take the bug spray and shove it somewhere or
make sure none of it gets on me. Tomorrow I will
contact the Dr's who have been treating me for
insecticide poison for their opinion. I will also
begin contacting the press around the world to get
the word out that United Airlines does not have the
ability to stand up against the New World Order.
Maybe you are part of the New World Order anyway..
Maybe you are part of the agenda to lower the
population. Whatever the case, get ready. I will see
you soon. Make sure there is plenty of oxygen, a
good mask and a good seat.
Yours truly,
Roger Oakland
So that is it for now. I
called Customer Relations yesterday in Chicago. They
don’t seem very eager to help me out. So then I
called United Press core. They transferred me to
Austin to talk with Continental. Continental
transferred me back to Chicago to United. What is
going on?
As well I contacted Judith
Marawski in Seattle. She is with the Association of
Flight Attendants Union. Here is what she offered:
She referred me to a paper
written by Chris van Netten, a toxicologist at UBC
who analyzed widely-used pesticide products on
aircraft.
WHAT CHEMICALS ARE IN
THE SPRAYS? Prepared by the Association of Flight
Attendants-CWA, AFL-CIO; Updated May 2006
Most of the 47
countries that require pesticide spraying in the
aircraft cabin — either prior to or upon arrival —
dictate that the active ingredient must be a
particular pyrethroid pesticide , typically
either permethrin or phenothrin, and typically 2% by
weight. Sometimes, piperonyl butoxide is added to
these sprays to make the pyrethroid more potent. In
addition, solvents (listed below) have been
identified in each of the sprays. It is very
difficult to obtain information on aircraft
pesticide application so the details provided in the
next paragraph are effective at the time of this
writing (May 2006) but may change and are almost
certainly incomplete. For example, although
Mexico and Central American countries do not
officially require spraying, reports from
crewmembers suggest otherwise.
United Airlines
applies the residual
spray Airez product manufactured by
Callington Haven on its 747-400 aircraft prior to
passengers and crew boarding in Ho Chi Minh City (SGN)
because ultimately those aircraft may be routed to
Australia. As of this writing (May 2006), United
Airlines is still using the inflight Aircraft
Insecticide manufactured by Airosol on its B777,
A320, and B767-300 aircraft enroute to China,
Jamaica, and Uruguay, respectively, even though the
manufacturer reported that its product – chemically
the same as “Black Flag Roach Killer” — was
discontinued in the early 1990s. The product label
instructs users to spray the occupied cabin 30
minutes before landing, even though the EPA insisted
that the product not be used when people are on
board. Hawaiian Airlines uses the cabin spray
manufactured by Callington Haven (last on the list)
upon arrival in Australia. Aloha Airlines
residually treats its aircraft in Rarotonga.
USAirways must apply inflight sprays on its A320
and B737-300, and B757-200 to Montego Bay (Jamaica).
We do not have specific product information for
Aloha Airlines, USAirways, American Trans Air,
or others, but they must use the same or similar
products per these countries’ spraying requirements.
AFA has documentation from USAirways, Piedmont
Airlines, and Spirit Airlines that
describes pesticide application procedures for
all aircraft, even those routed domestically.
Likely all airlines apply insecticides on all
aircraft. The EPA does not approve any aerosolized
pesticide product for application on aircraft but
there does not seem to be any oversight and there
are no right-to-know rules. Product information is
available from AFA upon request. Contact Judith
Murawski at

So here
is what I am going to do… I have contacted Alex
Jones, the LA Times, the Orange County Register and
the Eston Press. If all that fails, I will contact
President Obama and Hillary Clinton, Sarah Palin and
Glen Beck. If that fails I have a back up plan… you
don’t want to know what it is, do you?
