the chemtrails conspiracy

Let´s relax and laugh a littlebit.

What type of brainwashing NWO chemicals do some Tinhats think of by looking at the sky above? (the chemtrail-paranoia)

Is this the current most stupid theory of the month and i missed it?

A few weeks ago at the LC Forum, I got suspended for trying to clear up their misconceptions about chemtrails. Seems Johnny Doughboy considered it "debating."

From the above link:

Quote:
We continually witness bizarre meteorological occurrences as powerful electromagnetic devices manipulate both the jet stream and individual storm fronts to create artificial weather and climatic conditions. Black operations projects embedded within these aerosol missions are documented to sicken and disorient select populations with biological test agents and psychotronic mind/mood control technologies.

For God’s sake, this is what we should be teaching our kids in schools, because these are the most profound threats to our survival. But about fluoride, depleted uranium, and chemtrails, we hear not a peep in the mainstream media or in our college curricula. Other than the American political psychosis now casting its dark shadow around the world, these are the most important topics everyone in the world should be discussing constantly.

Rishta, then explain to me why I never saw jet trails like these when I was a kid 40 years ago. Tell me why I never saw them like this at all until last year.
to answer this you could go with the rational:
maybe because there was more prop-planes or there was just less air traffic.

or you could go with the more fun answer:
You don't remember the chemtrails, because the chemtrails from last year wiped your memory of them. These chemtrails are now planting conspricy theories into your head to distract you from the real issue:

I almost never see any contrails or chemtrails around here. Plenty of planes, very few trails. I guess I live in the town the NWO forgot.

On another board I've suggested they do this. I get nothing but links to wackjob sites where they claim to have done this (but reading the sites shows it wasn't done) or silly excuses how they can't because the labs are all in on the conspiracy.

I remember reading several years ago that one of them had an air filter in their house analyzed and claimed the results were proof of chemtrails. I guess that's as close as they've gotten.

Really though, it probably wouldn't take much more than half an hour to get it done and solve the mystery once and for all! I guess talking about it on a message board is more important than actually doing it. Seems to be a recurring theme with these people.

1. I doubt any aircraft company is going to let JDX take anything up in the sky. I suspect he has been ordered not to, and hence the reason he is able to spend so much time and energy into the TWOOF.

2. Chemtrails are the silliest CT I have ever heard. Here is my beef. There is good evidence that the amount of EM radiation one recieves from spending time infront of the computer is more than anyone would get from highwires, etc..., yet the CTists go bonkers over "cancer" caused by living under powerlines. If you ask me, the computer geek CT nuts should get off their asses and protest the Monitor companies, or Bill Gates for creating such a machine that would consume most of our lives, and expose us to EMR for many hours of the day.

ah yes, but you see there in lies the problem. If they were to perform such tests, their theories would be destroyed. That is exactly what the CTers wont do, but will complain that it isnt being done by others.

Why do I think the analysis was conducted by someone with a collection of alien urine in mason jars on the shelves in his garage. Someone named Rusty Shackleford...

It never ceases to amaze me that these nuts can't figure out that long-lasting contrails almost always occur when there are also high altitude cirrus clouds (as his pics show). The same atmospheric conditions that cause the cirrus clouds also allow the contrails to linger for hours.
When there are no clouds in the sky, the contrails tend to be very short-lived. CTists apparantly can't add 2+2.

Just this evening about 90% of the sky was free of clouds, and the contrails from the jets in that area were very short. But off in the distance to the west there was a line of cirrus clouds, and the contrails in that area were very long. Just goes to show how the conditions can change in a fairly short distance.

I first heard about this CT a couple of months ago, when a friend of mine, who is a pilot, told about it. I couldn't believe people being that stupid. Offcourse I was wrong.

btw, 2+2 = 100

I did see an instance of persistent, spreading contrails when I was a kid nearly forty years ago. To be exact, it was in the early fall of 1968, when I was starting sixth grade. The incident stuck in my memory because one of my classmates was a meteorology buff (when I visited the old home town a few years ago his homemade anemometer was still spinning proudly above his old house) and when I remarked on the way the trails had morphed into a skim of cirrus clouds he gave me quite an earful about how clouds form and dissipate.

I once related that memory, along with some evidence that persistent contrails have been observed since WWII, in a "chemtrails" thread on the Portland Indymedia site.

The response was that I was lying, since a persistent contrail is by definition a chemtrail and the eevil gummint hadn't been spraying them in the 1960s.

At least the Troofers haven't called Rishta, who also remembers seeing them way back, a liar.

Yet.

Let me be sure I am clear on this. They are outside, phtographing the "chemtrails". The mystery stuff in the "chemtrails" is dispersing. It affects memory, behavior, etc . So, what protective gear are they wearing - besides the aluminum hats and mommies underwear- that allows them to remember they took the photos and put them in for processing? I'm guessing the NWO needs stronger stuff in its' chemtrails fer sher.

Fuelair, without your permisson, I forwared your post to my local NWO officer at the synagogue. No doubt he will pass it on to his superiours. If all goes well, you'll get an invite from the NWO HRM in the next couple of days. Just mention my name.

My father-in-law is a firm believer in chemtrails, although I don't recall if he ever fully explained what he thought their purpose was.

They claim that these chemicals are supposed to make us docile and subserviant to the govt, but America is more polarized now than at any time since Vietnam. Apparantly the chemicals aren't working very well.

And is dispersing them into the upper atmosphere the best way of spreading them? Wouldn't it be better to use those trucks that spray for mosquitos?

Th UK 9/11 CT mob were speculating that the chemtrails were
a) a secret contraceptive spray to lower population levels
or
b) a fungal infection that damaged the immune system and also killed off horse-chestnut trees

This chemtrail CT is rather old hat. I even wrote an article : http://www.hans-egebo.dk/skeptic/contrails.htm

(shameless spam)

The fun thing is, they (persistent contrails) have been around as long as we have had high-flying planes. In WW2, the skies over Europe could be full of them from the bomber streams (not much to the liking of bomber pilots, since it made it easier to see them). These days they are all over the world. So, according to CTs ALL governments, and all military forces are in on this and in agreement. That alone should tell you all.

I also looked a bit into the logistics of the thing. To spray just the USA on a weekly basis, you'd need a fleet comparable to a medium-sized airline, complete with ground personnel, suppliers of thousands of tons of whatever it is they are supposed to be spraying, etc, etc.

Not to mention the volume of chemicals they must waste spraying them endlessly into the ocean on inter-continental flights. Idiots.

Yeah, I took a number of great pics of persistent contrails last summer. Over the baltic ocean.

Chemtrails are just a distraction to keep people from thinking about flurodated water supplies

The whole chemtrails thing makes me wonder if the USA is turning into a cargo cult -- you know, like those villagers on some island somewhere who worship airplanes because they think they're some kind of god or something. "Hey Jeb, wot's that long, fuzzy thang in thuh sky up thay-yuh?" "Doan' know, Mamma, but I'll tell yah this" (cocks shotgun ominously) "I shoah 'nuff doan like it!"

The human capacity to be willfully stupid knows no bounds.

The incident stuck in my memory because one of my classmates was a meteorology buff (when I visited the old home town a few years ago his homemade anemometer was still spinning proudly above his old house) and when I remarked on the way the trails had morphed into a skim of cirrus clouds he gave me quite an earful about how clouds form and dissipate.

I once related that memory, along with some evidence that persistent contrails have been observed since WWII, in a "chemtrails" thread on the Portland Indymedia site.

The response was that I was lying, since a persistent contrail is by definition a chemtrail and the eevil gummint hadn't been spraying them in the 1960s.

At least the Troofers haven't called Rishta, who also remembers seeing them way back, a liar.

Yet.
It's always fun to point out the section in Antoine St-Exupery's "Flight To Arras", where he mentions the contrails expanding and covering the sky until the evening. Then you have to wonder how many other famous authors are in on it.

so i guess teh NWO has special antidotes for whatever these chemtrails are emitting?

i never understand these sorts of theories (NWO using mind control to quell masses) considering the level of dissent of the people is not dropping. in other words, if they are doing this to control the world, they are doing a crappy job, as evidenced byt the people who are hip to it...do these troothers wear special masks to keep it from affecting them???
