Debunking Chemtrail Debunkers - The Government's QuislingShills

 

Debunking Chemtrail Debunkers -The Government's Quisling ShillsLetters to the EditorBy Julian PenrodDear sirs:As disreputable as it can be to engage in the unethical andunderhanded, it can be as vile to know about the unscrupulous, andnot acknowledge its existence.The past few years has seen an unusual occurrence in the skies overthe country.Several or more times a month, jet planes, flying overhead, wouldstart leaving unorthodox trails in the sky. Instead of the normalkind of contrails, usually accredited to jet aircraft, which stretchfor a short distance behind the tail of the jet, and dissipate, asthe sun warms and evaporates the ice crystals in the tails, thesewould stretch, generally, from horizon to horizon. Jets would flyoverhead, spouting white, straight, thin clouds behind them, but,instead of disappearing quickly, they would persist stubbornly,forming a long path across the sky.The lane of cloud laid, then, would start to spread, side to side.Over the space of up to several hours, it would hang in the air,expanding. As it spread, it would thin, but not enough to completelyevaporate. Indeed, apparently, never does a chemtrail actuallyevaporate! Instead, it would form a haze, sometimes even oily inappearance, from one side of the sky to the other, marking the paththe jet took, but many, many times wider.As the substance left behind by the passing plane slowly spreadacross the sky, it would come to be joined by one, then another, thenanother, as other jets covered the same area of sky. Eventually - ina very short time, in fact! - the entire sky could be covered with awispy haze, and what was once a crystal clear day, now wouldn,t showa single patch of blue! And what sun did manage to shine throughcould, often, be accompanied by an oily, multi-colored reflectionfrom the substance now lying thickly overhead.This has been a commonplace in the United States, and apparently,numerous other countries, as well, for about six years now! Those whoexamine these phenomena have termed them "chemtrails", to distinguishthem from contrails, and to emphasize the evident presence of foreignsubstances in the clouds. Since about 1997, these tracks have been aconstant presence in the skies of the country.Sometimes, they can be in parallel lines.Sometimes, there can be several.Sometimes, there can be many, all at once.Sometimes, they can be curved.Sometimes, they can form "X",s.Sometimes, they form "H",s.Sometimes, they can form more elaborate patterns.Sometimes, they will form the collections of lines called "spiderwebs" or "grids".Sometimes, they will form what is called the "fan pattern".And, often, strange and even abnormal and bizarre effects can also beobserved.And, when the trails appear, they can cause many different effects,besides ruining the appearance of a day.In some places afflicted by chemtrails, it is reported, for example,that, shortly afterward, heavy rains, likely induced by the trails,will form. But these rains, often, will rain down strange materials,evidently from the tracks in the sky.Some rainfalls will produce a thick, viscous, reddish materialcovering trees, cars and houses. Sometimes, a fine, spider web-likesubstance will be evident everywhere. And, often, residents livingbelow the clouds will begin to experience serious symptoms, fromheadache to muscle aches to nausea to difficulty breathing to bloodynoses! Many describe the symptoms as similar to flu and, indeed, inareas over which the chemtrails are formed, it is reported,advertisements for volunteers in a study of flu will appear in localnewspapers a couple of days before the onslaught of chemicals in thesky.Attempts at analysis have been attempted by numerous individualsdetermined to find out what is being done to the people, andfrequently opposed by evident betrayers of the public mandate. Theanalyses that have been attempted have yielded constituents of thechemtrails ranging from ethylene dibromide to aluminum chaff tobarium oxide to pseudonomas fluoroscens and pseudonomas aeruginosa.Ethylene dibromide is a compound which, due to its fire repellantproperties, has been added to JP-4 jet fuel to produce JP-8 fuel. Itis a potent pesticide, which has also been listed by the EPA as oneof the deadliest chemicals known.Aluminum chaff is powder, as fine as talc, used to scramble enemyradar.Barium oxide is a crystalline compound purportedly useful forreflecting radio signals, supposedly making it possible to transmitover the curve of the earth.Pseudonomas fluoroscens is a bacteria capable of producing potent,flu-like symptoms. Pseudonomas aeruginosa, on the other hand, isconsidered one of the deadliest pathogens known.These are only a few of the unusual materials found in abnormalabundance after chemtrail appearances in many parts of the country!In their wake, numerous theories have been advanced for theirpresence.Aluminum chaff has been suggested as being used to prevent terroristcommunications from being successful in the country.Barium oxide has been proposed to be being employed to facilitateAmerican military and governmental broadcasts across the nation andoverseas. It has also been linked to the generally obscure, buttechnically public, HAARP project. HAARP stands for High FrequencyActive Auroral Research Program. It resides on a site apparently morethan a mile square, near Galcona, Alaska. The purpose of the site isan almost 30 acre array of 180 antennas. They represent their intentto be to develop methods of using the earth,s aurora to facilitatecommunication and as an espionage tool. Barium oxide crystals arebelieved effective in this.Ethylene dibromide and the numerous pathogens often found inabundance after massive chemtrail presence over an area have led toconsiderations that everything from eugenics to wholesale destructionof populations is an aim of the apparent campaign of serial sprayingover the country.Other theories such as weather manipulation and control of globalwarming have been advanced for the spraying in the skies over thenation. The fact that rainstorms are often claimed to result fromchemtrails in the Pacific Northwest can relate to this, but, in thatarea, many of the instances of severe sickness after chemtrails havealso been reported.In fact, though, it is often possible to raise objections to eachtheory, and that fact is frequently employed by those who callthemselves "debunkers" to criticize, demean and even baldly ridiculethose who want an answer to the issue of chemtrails! It is possibleto counter each theory, it appears, because, in fact, no one isuniversally correct! It appears that many different purposes arebeing served by chemtrails, and, for each, different substances arebeing sprayed into the air. To claim one unique purpose for everycase of aerial spraying is to run the risk of not identifyingcorrectly what is being done in each particular area.For example, in the Northeastern part of the United States,chemtrails have been a prevalent sight for some time, now. However,there, they rarely, if ever, precipitate a rainstorm. Indeed, in thatpart of the country, the purpose of chemtrails seems to be toforestall rainfall.Since at least winter of 2002, that part of the country hasexperienced massive drought. Reservoir levels are down almost torecord lows, if not actually below them! Yet, in that time,chemtrailing has been very frequent! In fact, it had become a patternthat forecasters would predict showers or even thunderstorms a coupleof days ahead, then chemtrails would be seen in abundance in the sky,and, afterward, the predicted precipitation would not come! Theregion would be lucky if it got a misting on days when, previously,thunderstorms were forecast. This went on through most of the winterof 2002, and has begun, again, the past couple of months.The reason for this seems to be that, in the Northeast, the purposeof chemtrails was to disturb the process that can generate arainstorm.In general, a rainstorm can occur if warm, wet air rises particularlyquickly into an overlying cold area. This can result in the rapidcooling of water into clouds like thunderheads. The sudden,uncontrolled invasion of wet air into cool air seems to spawn many ofthe systems that give rise to rainstorms.What chemtrails seem to have been used to accomplish, for at leastthe past year in the Northeast, has been to steadily gently mix theair at the boundary layers between air masses. Flying in the borderbetween wet and cold air, the chemtrails seem to have been intendedto control the rate and degree of mixing of the air, allowing cloudbanks to form, but not swiftly and suddenly. Wispy but not stormycirrus clouds were the inevitable result, each time, the sky hazingover into a sheet of white, but never cumulous clouds.Among other things countering the "arguments" of debunkers thatchemtrails are only normal contrails, and not some kind of controlledprogram on the part of government, is that, when chemtrails formed inthe Northeast, for at least the past year, cumulous clouds neverformed! If chemtrails were harmless and innocuous paths of watervapor from random jets, there would have to have been at least onecase when cumulous clouds formed, following such an onslaught.But they never did.The only reason any relief was seen in the past year in the Northeastwas that chemtrails were not always laid immediately prior to anexpected storm system. For a period, near the end of winter 2002, andinto the beginning of spring 2002, chemtrails were not laid, justbefore storm fronts were expected.When a storm was predicted, and chemtrails were not produced in thesky, the storm, generally, occurred.Chemtrails have come to be watched for, reported and examined by anumber of people. There have even been a number of web sites devotedto the subject. They include sites such as www.carnicom.com,www.chemtrailcentral.com and www.chemtrail.com.In the last of the letters we sent, we outlined the means wherebychemtrails could be used to prevent rain and promote drought.Immediately following them, the chemtrails slacked off in theNortheast, rains picked up and the drought lessened significantly.The connection is not easily deniable, if at all.But a deliberate, planned nature of the phenomena is eminentlyapparent.Certainly, the chemtrails utilized in the Northeast, for about thelast year, follow a pattern apparently geared toward controlling themixing of air layers.Once they begin, they generally last for between four and six hours.They can occur twice in a day, but not often. They have been known tooccur at night, also.Not only do they evidently prevent cumulus clouds from forming, thesechemtrails almost never occur on a day when there are cumulus cloudsin the sky! Once the clouds characteristic of the kind of chaoticmixing of air masses, that produces rainstorms, are present, it seemsthe purpose of the chemtrails in the Northeast is obviated, so theyaren't attempted.They generally do not occur, too, on very windy days, but they occurmore during windy days than on days with cumulus clouds. On windydays, there, generally, isn't an air layer overlying another, so theobject of chemtrails seems nonexistent, for the most part, then.They also seem to occur more often on warm days, than on cold, or onthe warmest day in a span of days.Chemtrails in other parts of the country may be for other purposes,and so may not be laid in the same patterns as those in theNortheast - those in the Pacific Northwest, for example, may beintended to facilitate the operation of the HAARP project, only ashort ways north, in Alaska - but the serious drought conditions thatafflicted the country, this year, seem to indicate that that was apurpose for many of those observed in the last few months.There seems little plausible reason - if any - to doubt thatchemtrails are deliberately produced, and not normal contrails.Unsurprisingly, however, though, there are those who seek to opposethe assertions of those who contend that chemtrails are abnormal, andshould be stopped. Apparently calculatedly, they termthemselves "debunkers", to inculcate the perception that concern overchemtrails is, more than "misguided", an out-and-out hoax or fraud!Indeed, a number of them have used the term "hoax" in describing theconcern over chemtrails - evidently suggesting that those who addressthe issue are actually pulling a prank on themselves - and evenaccused some who pursue the issue of doing it purely for personalprofit.As if someone choosing to try to make a profit off a situationsuddenly makes that situation not exist.Many have tried to hawk fake nostrums to eliminate the symptoms ofthe common cold, but that doesn't make the common cold nonexistent.Moreover, the "debunkers" regularly tout the software, FlightExplorer, to "identify" aircraft using routes where chemtrails form.Not only do they, apparently, wish to negate the existence ofchemtrails by simply calling them contrails, they seem to want toconvince the public that they arise from innocuous, harmless aircraftsimply because unidentified, unverified information a piece ofsoftware displays on a screen says it does.They try to "counsel" people against using the guidance of their eyesand their common sense in chemtrails; they, instead, apparently, wantthem to blindly obey "the official story".Indeed, such faulty "reasoning", coupled with an attitude of guileand contempt, seems universally to characterize the chemtraildebunkers.As their own "explanation" of the phenomenon, they carp the commonline that "under certain precise conditions of temperature, pressureand humidity, water vapor from jet exhaust will act as the nuclei forcondensation of water in the air around the jet" The preciseness ofthe conditions, evidently, is intended to "explain" why all jettrails are not the elongated, long lasting sight that chemtrails are.But, within at least the last year, days with chemtrails constituteno less than about a third of the entire year! In many cases, we wokeup to already hazed over skies, indicating that chemtrailing had beendone before dawn, or deformed, but elongated, wispy clouds would bepresent in the sky, indicating that chemtrails had been laidelsewhere, and drifted to where we were. As a result, chemtrail daysconstitute no less than one third, and, sometimes, no less than 40%,of the days! Far from a "precise" set of circumstances.If you add in the fact that, even after chemtrails may have passed,persistent haze can remain in the upper atmosphere, turning the sky asickish white, or limiting the blueness of the natural sky that ispermitted to show through, you have that no more than two or threegenuinely blue sky days are permitted per month, anymore! Chemtrailopponents list this as one of their primary complaints withchemtrails, as well, the simple fact that they are beingsystematically robbed of their blue sky.Only a few decades ago, summer could guarantee weeks worth of clear,blue days. Now, to have just one is an event, at least in theNortheast. During the past summer, in Northern New Jersey, therehaven't been more than five or six days, all told, that were brightblue.Nor is this an insignificant thing. Substituting bright blue dayswith heavily overcast, low-hanging skies, or persistent mists,instead of the kind of rain that will clear a sky of haze, produces alistless even despondent atmosphere. Over time, it can depressindividuals and even sap them of initiative.Experiments during the Seventies and Eighties, in fact, suggestedthat certain colors can promote certain types of responses. Pink wasfound, in some, to have a calming effect; brown and orange were foundto stimulate appetite; and bright, light blue was found to promoteimagination. Isolation cells in a number of jails, as a result ofthis, were painted pink, and the prevalence of browns, oranges andreds in the color schemes of fast food restaurants, during theEighties, is testament to an evident unscrupulousness intheir "marketing" tactics! Withholding clear skies from the populaceseems, also, targeted at controlling the people's initiative andforesight.Someone in government, it appears, doesn't want the people to thinkfor themselves about what they see going on around them.As reliable as the provability of tenuousness in thedebunkers, "arguments" - and the eminent apparent danger inchemtrailing - is the debunkers, coming up with yet other attempts,at discrediting those who oppose chemtrails.They couldn't deny the existence of days when huge numbers ofchemtrails clutter the skies, because innumerable photographs to thecontrary exist. If that wasn't the case, there is little doubt theywould try to utterly and baldly deny their existence, altogether.Initially, though, they did, apparently, try the wheezethat "aircraft exhaust can,t alter the environment"! That has sincebeen overturned by a number of studies indicating that, at the veryleast, the obscuring effect of normal contrails was enough to lowerthe earth's temperature by at least 1º Fahrenheit.Equally as determinedly posited was the assertion that, even if long,environmentally-altering trails were being laid, it wasn'tdeliberate. Countering that is the revelation that numerous patentsand proposals for using aircraft to affect weather have been filed,in the past few years alone! "Cloud seeding" is the least of themethods; preventing global warming was a major goal of many.Recently, too, even the military published a proposal to the effectof using weather control in wartime as a "force multiplier" againstenemy troops. They termed their proposal "Owning the Weather by 2025"In the face of these demonstrations of their evidently patentfalsehood in opposing chemtrail followers, debunkers have taken upthe line that, even though jet exhaust can affect the environment,and even though there are plans to utilize that to control theweather, jets never release anything other than normal exhaust intothe air. In the recent past, however, CNN aired a report of militaryplanes, among other things, releasing egg whites into the air to testradar methods for, putatively, tracking drug planes! It isquestionable what aspect of the situation the debunkers will attemptto attack next.And the debunkers have shown every determination to oppose suspicionabout and examination of chemtrails as much as would be necessary toend questioning about them! They have taken out whole websitesdevoted to opposing chemtrail suspicions; they have even launchedmirror sites of websites, to provide as much a saturation of theinternet with their evident propaganda as possible! They run thegamut from an individual that calls themself "ChickieDeb", andidentifies themself as "a housewife from Indiana" - ChickieDeb beingone of those who launched three websites devoted to debunking - to anorganization given the frankly questionable name "New Mexicans forScience and Reason - suggesting they see "science" and "reason" to betwo totally separate and unrelated things.Jay Reynolds, who seems proud to oppose the assertion that chemtrailsare not normal contrails, and who also sponsored three separate sitesto mirror his assertions, likewise states, on his website: "the realstate of things that agrees with facts and reality." Meaning,presumably, that, for Mr. Reynolds, "facts" and "reality" are twototally separate and unrelated things. Before struggling to opposeinvestigation into chemtrails, the debunkers, it appears, shouldattempt developing a pose that doesn't come across as that of anincompetent poseur.The nature of the debunkers, refutations, however, is consistent withthe stock in trade of those without a leg to stand on. Pre-eminentamong their "tools" is out-and-out derision. Jay Reynolds titles hismirror sites "Contrails or Trails-CON?" One of the devotees ofchemtrail examination, William Thomas, he terms a "snakeoilsalesman".On ChickieDeb's site, cdebsjournal.topcities.com/Rhaltitude.htm, shequotes Jay Reynolds as characterizing those who mobilize the movementto study chemtrails as "X-file wackos", and ChickieDeb openly agrees.Larry Lawson, whom ChickieDeb identifies as a "chemtrailperpetrator", is also referred to, by her, as a "pipsqueak".On the same page, incidentally, ChickieDeb condemns "religiousfundamentalists", like she models Mr. Lawson to be, who "think thatGod is unable to take care of things by Himself". ChickieDeb seems ofthe opinion that people should just sit still and do nothing, leaveit all to God - or whatever she tries to pass off as a deity - to dothings in the world. She seems intent on coercing others into awilling complacence and disinterest in taking action in the world.The title of another of her websites devoted, apparently, todeceiving people about the reality of chemtrails is "DO YOU WANT TOSTOP BEING AFRAID?"Apparently she couldn,t be happier if everyone agreed not to beconcerned about what is being done to their environment, and just lettheir rights and interests be run roughshod over! Even an atheistwould accept that God would not have created man just to sit andwatch the world; a purpose for creating man was so that man could dothings and not leave it to God to "take care of things by Himself".Having people stand up for themselves, however, seems anathema towhat ChickieDeb has in mind for them.The debunkers seem never at a loss for disparaging names to callthose who seem to threaten the government secret they work so hard tohide, or a boundless store of contempt for others.The evident attempt to vilify suspicion of chemtrails is also acommonplace on debunkers, websites. ChickieDeb titles at least one ofher mirror sites, worldzone.net/international.checkiedeb, "CHEMTRAILHOAX - The Best Kept Secret In the World". On that site, ChickieDebgives space to an article by Jay Reynolds, entitled "HOW TO RUN ACHEMTRAIL SCARE FOR FUN AND PROFIT". On one of the pages on one ofChickieDeb,s mirror sites,www.worldzone.net/international/chickiedeb/cgi/col2.shtml, chemtrailopponents are belittled for accusing debunkers of not using logic,yet it is said, of them, that "they refuse to recognize logic andrationale"."Rationale", it could be mentioned, for ChickieDeb's information,means the "excuse" or "justification" one uses to "explain" theiractions. It is not an accompanying quality with logic. WhatChickieDeb seems to have wanted to mention - yet apparently did nothave the depth of education to supply - was "rationality".On the page,worldzone.net/international/chickiedeb//cgi/eyeswideshut.shtml,ChickieDeb acknowledges that a term the debunkers use for chemtrailopponents is "Insane Cloud Posse".Contempt is a large part of the debunkers, stock in trade.When not engaging in determined vituperation of chemtrail opponents,the debunkers attempt a "validation" of their condemnation ofchemtrail concerns, usually through patently indulgence in fraudulentdouble-talk and specious "demonstrations".The endless, arch and professorial expositions on "temperature,humidity and pressure" is only one aspect of this tack. Even there,though, the debunkers find it difficult to work within the bounds oftheir own presentations. Onwww.weatherwise.org/qr/qry.chemtrail.html, Thomas Schlatter, whopasses himself off as a "NOAA meteorologist", contends that longlasting contrails can occur if the temperature is less than 70º andthe relative humidity of air, compared to ice is greater than 100%,that is, there is more than enough water vapor to replace ice as icedissolves in the sunlight. The apparent purpose of this seems to bejust to give the impression that long lasting contrails are possible.But it soon became evident that this was also describing an eminentlyunlikely - if not patently impossible - situation.To, apparently, patch up this problem, ChickieDeb, on the web page,cdebsjournal.topcities.com/leadpage.htm, apparently desperately andrecklessly blurts that "contrails can occur with zero humidity if thetemperature is cold enough". Leaving aside the fact that sheconveniently says only that "contrails" - not long-lasting contrails -can occur under those conditions - which no one denies - on the webpage the link she provides leads to, someone named Dr. Patrick Minnisasserts only that meteorological instruments reading humidity at highaltitudes have been, supposedly, consistently wrong, so that,presumably, high altitude humidities are larger than expected.Importantly, on the page, it also refers only to "contrails" forming,not long-lasting contrails. In what seems to constitute little morethan what is termed "hand-waving", Dr. Minnis then goes on to state,without explanation or justification, that relative humidities haveto be greater than 100% for "contrails to persist for very long",but, "at those cold temperatures, a small error in moisturemeasurement" can lead to "a large error" in the relative humidity.Supposedly, then, not only are relative humidities at high altitudesgreater than previously thought, they, putatively, are even greaterthan they appear, because readings might have a small error that cantranslate into a massive difference in the actual humidity.The "margin of error" the debunkers seem to want to lend to reality,to back their contentions, appears even larger and more encompassingthat the actual situation.Characteristic of other forms that the pedagogic patronizing of thedebunkers can take is in the typically flippantly entitled entry "funWith Math", on web pagewww.chemtrailcentral.com/ubb/Forum9/HTML/000033.html.There, a "correspondent", who takes the name BEE, puts up the poseof "proving" that "there is simply no way physically for anythingsprayed at the height at which contrails (or supposed chemtrails) areobserved to reach any kind of concentration on the ground which wouldhave any effect on people whatsoever".He begins by considering a "worst case scenario" of a jet hoveringoverhead, at various heights, dumping different amounts of material,with wind going at various speeds. Among other things, though, heassumes a "source rate" for the spraying of "63 billionmicrograms/second". This works out to 63,000 grams/second, or 140lbs./second. That's almost 8 tons per minute! If BEE is willing to beso unreliable in even this early part of the "explanation", there isno reason to trust him in what he says later.His conclusions are no less questionable. Proceeding from a supposedheight, for the jet, of from 2 to 2000 meters above the ground, hereels off supposed "maximum concentrations" for the sprayedsubstance. He goes from 19.3 billion micrograms/cubic meter to .75micrograms/cubic meter. The highest value is related to a situationfor the plane 2 meters in the air, the lowest value, for one 2000meters high. He evidently wants to "dramatically demonstrate" thatthe results from a "realistic" situation are very, very low.An eminent problem with that, however, is that, not only does BEElook at varying heights for the jet, for each jet, there is also adifferent distance downwind looked at. The jet 2 meters in the airhas a "maximum concentration" 60 meters downwind quoted, a jet 100meters high has a value at 15,000 meter downwind given, and for thejet at 2000 meters, the concentration at 3.5 billion meters, or 2.2million miles, downwind! It is unlikely, if not completelyimpossible, that material would drift for 2.2 million miles over theearth, before coming to rest.What is more, for all the insistence, by BEE, that winds woulddissipate chemtrail material, that has never been observed! Theyspread and combine with other chemtrails, but they have never beenseen to be blown away by winds! In fact, it is their tendency to stayin one place, unchanged, except for spreading, for hours on end,which was one thing which brought them to the public,s attention.If the purpose of the chemtrails was to stay in one place and, atleast, physically affect the environment, such as causing a drought,or even form clouds and then let rainwater wash it down to the soil,contaminating people that way, then they are, apparently, doingexactly what was desired of them.How easy it is for the chemtrail defenders - they shape up as littlemore than that! - to "exonerate" chemtrails of things no one saidthey were doing.For that matter, too, all the supposedly legitimate physicalcalculations BEE presumably performed does not prove that therearen't substances which can affect, or even harm, people atconcentrations of only about 1 microgram/cubic meter! Allergens workat very small concentrations, pathogens can be dangerous at those lowlevels, and various poisonous gases can be potent at even lowerconcentrations! Withholding important information can be as crucialas misrepresenting information, in promoting a fraudulent proposal!Add the fact that, on a day of regular chemtrailing, as many as 30 ormore trails can be left in any affected area of sky, and there is alikelihood that huge amounts of dangerous material will be released.And where displays of contempt and presumed exercises in sophistry donot succeed, the debunkers appear to rely on out and out fraud! Afavored technique, for example, is saying that chemtrails are nothingmore than normal contrails, then going through elaborate proofs thatcontrails are not unusual or dangerous and, because contrails are notunusual or dangerous - which, in truth, has not been proved! - then,what chemtrail observers complain about can,t be unusual ordangerous! Just about every chemtrail debunker site has at least onepage devoted to "examining" and "explaining" contrails, thendiffidently insisting that that,s all that chemtrails are - usingeven less proof than the chemtrail opposers use for theirstatements! - and "concluding" that, therefore, chemtrails do notexist, and chemtrail opposers are just chasing falsities.The facts of chemtrails, however, do not bear out debunkers,insistences.Among other things, the references to chemtrails began only around1997. There are no references to unusual, persistent cloud trailsbefore that date. Contrails didn't suddenly start to become long-lived under certain circumstances only after 1997. And it unlikelythat people will have suddenly started to become aware of somethingas obvious, and apparently pernicious, as vapor trails that persistfor hours, then spread and coalesce into sun blocking cloud decksonly in 1997. The very fact that no complaints of long, spreadingcontrails before 1997 is sufficient to establish that chemtrails mustbe real, and not normal contrails.Tellingly, though, and apparently not coincidental at all, is thefact that, in October 1997, the system of reporting visibility date,from the National Climatic Data Center, was abruptly reduced from thethen standard maximum of 40 miles, to only 10 miles. To reducevisibility information that way only endangers such things as aerialnavigation! To do so peremptorily, in that manner, was utterlyincompatible with any consideration of protecting the welfare ofcitizens.What it does seem geared for, however - what seems more importantthan the interests of the public! - is keeping the government fromhaving to acknowledge that there was something out there that longrange data would need them to report! Something, too, that seemslikely to be nothing less than a hindrance to long-range visibility,as well.There was something out there that the government didn't want thepeople to know about.But the indications that chemtrails are real go beyond even that.Debunkers, for example, could try to "argue" that, on days whenchemtrails don,t appear, it,s because the weather conditions at theplanes, height don,t permit them. The planes are there, they woulddemand, but the peculiar conditions that turned innocent contrailsinto extended lines in the sky simply weren't present. But, even atthe height at which chemtrails are apparently laid, planes can beseen and heard slightly. Because they take a long time passingthrough the sky, that high up, they form a low rumble that canpersist for many minutes.On the days when chemtrails do not appear, neither the bright specksthat the planes appear as, nor the low rumble are heard. More thanthat, not even normal contrails - which should form under just aboutany condition! - are not present. When chemtrails do not form high inthe sky, it is because the planes that form them are not up there.The forming of chemtrails, then, is related more to the presence ofspecial planes high up that particular day, and not, evidently,certain conditions affecting planes that are, putatively, presentevery day.A phenomenon that chemtrail followers also point to to indicate thesuspicious nature of the trails is what is termed the "on and offswitch". Often, when chemtrails appear overhead, there will be aspace in the trail, where what seems to be aerial spraying was turnedoff, for a time, then turned back on.This does not happen, ever, for conventional contrails. Planesforming the short tails of contrail fog behind them do not go throughperiods when the cloud will disappear; the clouds themselves, eventhough they last for a short time, do not show spaces in them.Debunkers, unsurprisingly, dismiss these claims, insisting that thereis nothing in the breaks in chemtrails that indicate anything out ofwhat they term the usual.Tellingly, though, actual addresses of the issue of the "on offswitch" are rare on debunker websites. In fact, only one site,www22.brinkster.com/Seawana/Conspiracies/Chemtrails.asp, which boaststhe title, "The Way of the Dodo", actually devotes any real space toan attempted "explanation" of chemtrail breaks.In characteristically contemptuous and insulting fashion, the sectionbegins, "Ah yes. These rare photos are a favorite among thebelievers." The originator of the site, who identifies himself asSkip Ernst, describes "the neanderthals running" spray operations ashaving "mistakenly turned off the spray for a few moments"."Can you believe the government has hired a bunch of bumbling idiotsto perform their top secrets operations?", Mr. Ernst adds, mockingly.He posits that the breaks are caused by jets having "simply passedthrough a pocket of air where contrails" - carefully, he doesn,trefer to them as "chemtrails"! - "will not form. The air could be toowarm or too dry to form the ice crystals which make a contrailvisible."It is eminently unlikely, if not patently impossible, that air thathigh up would be so warm, to begin with. The jets that formchemtrails typically fly at at least three miles high. Even if it wastoo warm, a trail, of sorts, of water vapor would be likely,following the jet. And, even if the air were very dry, a trace of theice crystals from the jet engines, that supposedly form the "seed"for the chemtrail, should be visible, and it is not.And that is leaving aside, entirely, the fact that there is littlereason to believe that an isolated, tiny, patch of air could be soradically different from the overwhelming mass of air around it! Ifan area of warm or dry air were to intrude, it is likely that itwould be no time before the rest of the air around it would bring itinto equilibrium.More than that, though, Mr. Ernst, will have to explain how it ispossible for chemtrails with breaks, supposedly caused by differingair masses, to occur in close proximity to chemtrails with no breaks!"I'll leave it at that and let you be the judge", he concludesarchly.If he's telling the absolute, incontrovertible truth, which hepretends to be, then he would be able to call it that! He wouldn'thave to leave it to the reader to "be the judge".That, in itself, all but brands the material on the Seawana siteutterly untrustworthy.Mr. Ernst also takes issue with, among other things, the observationthat "most chemtrails seem to be created at altitudes abovecommercial flights", which can be taken to be an indication thatchemtrails are not normal contrails, but the result of governmentflights."That is because the probability of a contrail being produced at ahigher altitude is much greater", he retorts."Next please", he adds, smugly, evidently content that he has put anyquestion of the formation of chemtrails to rest, firmly.But, if the chemtrails are being produced at altitudes higher thancommercial jets use, as he, himself, seems willing to accede, what isleaving them? It is apparent, then, that it is only government planeslaying the trails, and that is far from something that discounts thelikelihood of their being a government operation'Moreover, how could Flight Explorer, which seems to record onlycommercial flights, attest to the flight plans of those jets causingthe chemtrails?Among the site's other demonstrations of the "character" of itsdeveloper, are a "boss button" - a switch which you click so that, ifyou're looking at the site instead of doing work, at the office, youcan call up a realistic looking spreadsheet screen, to con your bossinto thinking you're not gold-bricking."Surf freely with the security that comes from the knowledge thatyour boss remains clueless about your daily internet practices!", Mr.Ernst proclaims. Apparently, honesty and honor are alien concepts tohim. But, then, in the "encyclopedia" section of the site, heproclaims he'll do just about anything for a bribe. Also in evidenceare Java language banners in which Mr. Ernst regularly vents his bileat any of a number of common "pop-up" advertisements to be seen onmany sites.One such banner takes aim at "the f***ing X-Cam", the miniaturecamera you can hook up to your computer to see what's happeningsomewhere else. The site also includes a pretentious "encyclopedia"of "conspiracy theories", and a "news" page, both riddled withmisspellings, and full references to those who follow those theoriesas "dopes", "morons" and "idiots"; and a page devoted to somethingcalled "Drunken Stumble" a game "that allows you to get rip roaringdrunk - but with a purpose."Mr. Ernst seems incapable of anything but viciousness,disingenuousness and antipathy for everything that exists.Nor, indeed, is it only apparently "disinterested individuals" whohave attempted to quell investigation into chemtrails. Branches ofthe government have taken it upon themselves to denounce theconsideration that chemtrails were anything but ordinary contrails,and even gone so far as to officially term it a "hoax."The United States Air Force web page on the subject,www.af.mil/environment/contrails_chemtrail.shtml, for example, isentitled "The Chemtrail Hoax"While it may be a purview of individuals to term something a "hoax"at will, a branch of the government is considered more bound by thelaw in its actions, so that, for them to term something a "hoax" isautomatically to have it characterized according to the legaldefinition of the term. More than that, it indicates that sufficientexamination has been carried out to back that characterization.Legally, a "hoax" is far more than just some kind of prank, gag orpractical joke; it is a willful and malicious act of mayhem, usuallyfor the aggrandizement of the "perpetrator".By titling their page that way, the Air Force, then, officiallyaccuses all the honest, straightforward citizens genuinely concernedabout at least the affront of their skies being clouded over, andsunlight all but banished from their lives, as malingerers andfrauds.A common tactic of the guilty is to cast the first stone and blamethe innocent, at least to try to buy enough time to shore up theirdefenses against justice.As with all other "debunkers", the Air Force proceeds to declare thatcontrails can be caused to remain for very long periods, based ontemperature and humidity. Like the other debunkers, they never onceassert that the conditions that would allow contrails to persist - ifat all - are conditions that are likely to, or even possibly can,occur on the earth, at the present! Unlike the other "debunkers", theAir Force, on their site, don,t include barometric pressure inthe "explanation", an eminently glaring omission, utterly callingeverything they say into question! Also unlike the other "debunkers",the Air Force does claim that "winds" can affect the persistence ofcontrails.Too, and indicative of the fact that they may engage in the eminentlyquestionable act of taking it on themselves to term suspicion ofchemtrails a "hoax", but they are still bound by considerations ofjustice and fairness, the Air Force, on their site, declare thatcontrails can be caused to last long periods of time becauseof "aircraft exhaust characteristics".The nebulous reference is, apparently, meant to downplay the matter,but, technically, "aircraft exhaust characteristics" includes what isbeing pumped out.And it is precisely the contention of chemtrail opponents that highflying military jets are pumping unorthodox and irregular materialsinto the air.In phraseology evidently intended to gull the unwitting intobelieving that normal characteristics of jet exhausts can, under theright circumstances, be made to last long periods of time, the AirForce, in actuality, seems to admit that unorthodox materials intheir exhaust are what is forming chemtrails.They fill out their "disproof" of the existence of chemtrails with alist of links to "debunker" web sites that no longer exist, and onelink to a site in Denmark that "demonstrates" the non-existence ofchemtrails by showing pictures of chemtrails and calling themcontrails! It is instructive that this practice of "proving"something doesn't exist by simply calling it something else is takingplace on a site operated by the Neils Böhr Institute.If that is the level of "intellectual discourse" involvedin "debunking" chemtrails, it is only further testimony to the truthof their existence.If that is the level of honesty involved in the movement againstchemtrail opponents, it strengthens the evidence that they are,indeed, an act of craven contempt for the people.But contempt seems a given, both in the perpetrating of chemtrails,and in the apparent attempted cover-up.Indeed, it is apparently inherent, how spiteful and disdainful thesites devoted to debunking conspiracy theories regularly, are tothose who acknowledge their existence.If conspiracy theories really were untrue, those who d tothem would be deluding themselves. They would be genuinely wastingtheir time. That is a tragedy, and would be approached as a tragedy,by those with genuine honor and the kind of concern and regard forothers that would be consistent with telling them the truth. Thearrogance and disregard to be seen among the conspiracy theorydebunkers is that to be found in those incapable of the truth, or ofany display of honor or decency. Their very malignance proclaimstheir assertions utterly untrustworthy and specious.There is every reason to believe, indeed, that those who callthemselves debunkers are, in fact, quisling shills for government,trying to keep the truth from the people. They willingly admit tobeing considered that by many conspiracy theory examiners, and justas quickly - and without proof - dismiss the accusation, but it seemsvery near the truth, if not the truth itself.And this demonstrated malevolence of character, more so than muchelse, pronounces conspiracy theories far from unreliable; indeed,anything but unproved, or disproved.And that includes chemtrails.The evidence is that, not only are chemtrails real, there seems to bea dedicated movement to try to dissuade those who acknowledge theexistence of chemtrails from following up on the subject.In recent months, since our own sending in several letters on thesubject, chemtrails in New Jersey have begun to take on a new form.Instead of stretching from one horizon to the other, chemtrails laidhere have begun to take the form, only, of lines across part of thesky.It seems intended to give the impression that chemtrails do notreally exist, since these go only partway across the sky. But thishas only begun recently, so it cannot be a demonstration of somethingwhich existed before. But it seems related to the fact that werecently began sending letters to the editor from here on thissubject.In the end, the people must take it on themselves to see that theirrights and interests are respected by government. They must involvethemselves, deeply and determinedly, in government. It is up to themto see that it is their welfare that motivates government.Julian Penrodhttp://www.chemtrailcentral.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/001551.htmlhttp://www.rense.com/general30/deby.htm
