why is there a world wide shortage of HELIUM
i was watching the local news tonight and they said that there is a world wide shortage of helium......makes me wonder why? What is it used for other than raves or balloons. The talking heads said that the government gets priority before small shops get it. Appaarently it's been going on a few months. Is it true? Why?

because there are almost NO helium deposits anywhere on
the planet. the largest helium deposit on Earth is
just north of Lubbock, Texas.

Obama and Bloomberg baned it because it was considered too dangerous and a threat to national security

Think you will find its because of this!!!!

Introducing the new military cargo ships....

Aeros has completed construction of a prototype cargo airship for the US military that could deliver heavy loads to regions inaccessible by traditional winged logistics aircraft.
Aeros has demonstrated the first in-hangar movement of its Aeroscraft VErtical-lift Rigid Technology Internal Carriage Auto-ballast Logistics (VERTICAL) sub-scale prototype cargo airship for the US military.
"The Aeroscraft is intended as a runway-free alternative to the Lockheed C-5B Galaxy."
Constructed as part of a $35m contract from the Pentagon and Nasa, video footage shows the 230ft-long, 36,000lb Aeroscraft prototype, named Pelican, moving under the control of ground crew while heavier than air.
The planned full-scale version will be a 450ft-long vehicle able to carry a 66-tonne payload of cargo more than a 3,000nm unrefueled range to remote areas inaccessible by current winged logistics aircraft.

Helium is used in cryogenics (its largest single use, absorbing about a quarter of production), particularly in the cooling of superconducting magnets, with the main commercial application being in MRI scanners

Helium is used to detect nuclear weapons at the borders. A false flag nuclear attack will be much more easier with a helium shortage.
