Are you insane? maybe, but not about this... i admit, though, that i should have said "a ton of air and seven pounds of fuel go into the engine every second, and a ton of combustion gases and nitrogen are expelled into the atmpsphere every second." sorry i confused you.
with contrails, it's probably not a matter of what the government wants us to believe... it's more a matter of what is, and what has been since the 1920s.
I must say that I see precious little evidence and much subjective speculation behind the assertions with regard to the existence of chemtrails. A video that asserts "this is X" and "the other is Y" just doesn't get it. I don't believe the "19 Arab hijacker" hypothesis either and for the same reason. I don't see the evidence that puts the nineteen clowns in the seats of the 911 airliners. In fact, what we need here is more than just evidence. We need a testable hypothesis with regard to the problem. I'm not certain what that might be in this case.

I don't see the evidence that puts the nineteen clowns in the seats of the 911 airliners. In fact, what we need here is more than just evidence. We need a testable hypothesis with regard to the problem. I'm not certain what that might be in this case. The problem of course is that it is a not fully explained phenomena. However there have been multiple hypotheses as to why it is being done. More on that in a moment. We can define the phenomena qualitatively and by comparison. Normal contrails are an understood phenomena and they are nothing more than the condensation of water vapor from engine exhausts into ice crystals, and occurs with both jets and propeller driven aircraft. We know that they form only under specific conditions and circumstances i.e., above 33,000 feet, a specific humidity range, and at temperatures well below freezing. We also know that being ice crystals that they are subject to melting. We can observe that they do and generally fairly rapidly. That is why a contrail dissipates - the sun hits the crystals and they warm just enough to disperse, and thus they cease acting to reflect light i.e., their density decreases, the crystals melt and dissipate thus no longer are they visible. In short, they rapidly disappear. By contrast we can look at the phenomena called chemtrails and immediately we can begin to define the differences between them and the well understood phenomena of contrails. Without a discussion of their physical composition the first two variances from a normal contrail that stand out are altitude of formation and persistence. Ground observers have recorded chemtrails being formed at altitudes well below that at which contrails are known to form - or even be possible - as the temperature and humidity are not conducive to their formation much below about 33,000 feet. By contrast knowledgeable ground observers have seen them formed at altitudes as low as ten thousand feet. While the trolls and shills will try to confuse and dispute that as obviously observers without a lot of money equipment cannot measure that directly since, I am not aware of many private hobby radar stations, but there are records of flight paths and altitudes called flight plans which seem to confirm the estimates. As well a ground observer can tell qualitatively whether a plane is higher or lower simply by its apparent size, and if you live under a flight path, as I do, you learn other cues such as engine noise. The lower the louder. The other primary qualitative characteristic observed is persistence. Whereas a normal contrail will fade quickly - normally in the range of a few seconds to a maximum of about 20 minutes chemtrails seem to persist for hours. I live in an area that has seen repeated sprayings and I have seen them running in parallel rows from horizon to horizon as well as extending in time coincidence horizontally from horizon to horizon. The trails rather than dissipating as a normal ice crystal contrail does instead will persist all day gradually spreading until there is a continuous haze from horizon to horizon in all directions. I have seen trails laid down in the morning persist, gradually spreading, all through a long spring day. That is not the behavior of a normal contrail both in terms of the observed phenomena's behavior and the sheer quantity of it. While samples have been understandably hard to come by a few have been collected and their chemical composition analyzed. Interestingly some labs, particularly those associated with government contracts, are reluctant, and have been known to refuse, to analyze the samples. All manner of strangeness has been found in these few samples but two that seem to consistently stand out are aluminum and barium. Aluminum, it has been suggested hypothetically, may have to do with its reflectivity or conductivity. However, when you do not know the reason or rationale behind an action that apparently involves undefined, or even unknown to the general public, technology then it is difficult to do much more than hypothesize. Since I don't intend this to be an exhaustive treatise I would simply suggest reading through the Chemtrail Archive at Rense, or at Clifford Carnicom's website. I must admit that I find your dismissive statement: "A video that asserts "this is X" and "the other is Y" just doesn't get it," a bit irksome. Both because I generally respect your opinion and because it suggests a snap judgment bereft of study of the available data, and there is a lot of data that has been accumulated over time. The video though does illustrate the qualitative difference between the two phenomena. Of course it is not exhaustive but it is not intended to be, but it does establish the observed differences. So, for what its worth, and I claim no special expertise in the area, I can see and observe the phenomena. From what I have seen an observed, combined with what I have learned from other reports, there is very definitely some sort of secret spraying program with some not clearly defined but real purpose. Whether it is for weather control, depopulation, HAARP, or all of those is an unknown. We can observe the phenomena exists, and we can look at the small amount of physical data and analysis and conclude that our lying eyes are telling the truth. There is something strange going on in the sky. Why? Because leadnlag says so? We need nothing more than our own eyes and the knowledge that contrails don't stay in the sky for anywhere near as long as chemtrails do. They didn't between 1950 to 1990, so why should they now? The answer is, they don't. Don't need a scientist to tell me that anymore than I need a scientist to tell me the wtc was blown to smithereens with some sort of explosives. Do you? Airplanes don't make clouds. They just don't. It's not necessary for a govt sponsored scientificist to say it. If an airplane looks like it's making clouds, it's because it's shooting some sort of shit out of it and leaving it to float in the sky. Engine exhaust does not make clouds or a haze that fills the sky. Ever. Not in the real world.
Sorry, and I respect your opinions also. The problem with the video is that there is nothing dispositive to, let's say, a novice viewer on this topic. It's extraordinarily difficult to establish altitudes, temps, humidity and so forth. It's also hard to establish that the two trails in question are qualitatively different simply from what is seen in the video.
Amen, anyone with an IQ in the triple digits, a desire to study the facts and an open mind will know that the official story is a load of crap. It is hard to free fools from the chains they revere. Voltaire An ideal form of government is democracy tempered with assassination. Voltaire
Just observe the phenomena. One dissipates rapidly, and one does not. This is only one video. If you look at the extensive Rense archives or at Clifford Carnicom's site the photography and analysis are extensive. And as wud points out this phenomena did not appear to exist prior to about 1990. What changed at that point in time? The planetary atmosphere? Or what was being dispersed by aircraft? Physical phenomena operating on known principles does not itself change overnight. Therefore we can logically infer that something else did change. What changed at that point in time? The planetary atmosphere? We had aliens from planet pop-tart come to our planet and alter our atmosphere, come on man get with the program... it's obvious ;) It is hard to free fools from the chains they revere. Voltaire An ideal form of government is democracy tempered with assassination. Voltaire
BOTH OF WHICH DISSIPATE QUICKLY AND DO NOT CLOUDY UP THE SKIES ALL DAY!! How do you explain the crap remaining in the sky for hours after the plane is out of sight......Peak Vapor Trails?

NASA is In On It. Don't you understand? THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!!!!!11111111!11!! Why do you think they know so much about outer space? Because they're ALIENS!!! Even their fighter escorts were spraying!11111111111!!!!1 -------------------------------------------------------- Geee, I guess that explains the massive uptick in the number of observed incredibly persistent trails after about 1990 - we have more B-17's in the air. Where did you say they were based at? Oh, das rite, cuz dere id mo pepo in da air........dat an Peak Vapor Trail fenomonon. " If you cannot govern yourself, you will be governed by assholes.

LOL! Do I detect a note of sarcasm young lady? ;-) Interesting way of looking at things. I mean distorting things. I thought WW2 for us happened in 1941 - 1945, not 1990 - ? But anyone that wants to waste their time on chemtrails, knock yourselves out. The kikes are happy for the distraction. And, it's a sexy topic. Here's another one. -------------------------------------------------------- Me? Sarcasm? " If you cannot govern yourself, you will be governed by assholes.

Ice crystal clouds can persist for many hours. Who's to say that contrails cannot? In fairness, I haven't seen what you all are seeing. It's been years since I've lived in an area where there are consistent "trail" phenomena of whatever kind. I remember seeing these things for years in the mid-West and on the East Coast. Not so much in the Middle East where I lived for a time. And here in Houston, well, the troposphere is significantly higher than where I grew up. I'm fairly close to a major purported approach, so the aircraft are much to low in my vicinity to cause trails of any kind. I do see military aircraft at great altitudes here from time to time. You can tell that they are military (or perhaps NASA) aircraft because I often see them engaged in extended and sometimes extreme climb maneuvers. I've been keeping an eye out from trails here ever since this subject became common on 4um. Really though guys. I respect y'all very much, but I haven't observed what you all have observed first hand. There's really not a lot that I've seen online that is convincing to an average disinterested viewer. And then I have to ask myself: "Convincing of what?" What is the hypothesis? Let me give it a crack. "Large civilian and/or military aircraft are being employed to spread tons of material throughout our airspace. The material forms into trails similar to condensation trails, but are much more persistent than condensation trails. They are known as "chem trails" because they contain the chemicals ___________, and _________, and ___________." Am I getting warm?
Well, alright, I'll let it slide this time since you are normally such an Attaboy! Slide in that extraneous irrelevant little bit of hate so that you can dirty up the thread and distract from the topic. I haven't observed what you all have observed first hand It would completely defy GLOBULL WARMING. lol How can you have ice when the planet is so hot? How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat? lol Fair enough, Sweetie. But I observe it regularly first hand, even my kids note it when chemtrails are taking over a blue sky day. They were spraying continually on Christmas day......are we to believe that there was more air traffic on Christmas day and that the temperature in Northern Nevada was so cold as to merit no dissipation? We cannot buy either scenario. Vapor trails always dissipated in MT and it was MUCH colder. The satellite pictures of it moving over the span of a day are solid observation too. All ties into HAARP coming on line as to be observable from a point in time for this phenomenon. Coincidence? I don't think so. " If you cannot govern yourself, you will be governed by assholes. " Randge, Poet de Forum, 1/11/11 "Life's tough, and even tougher if you're stupid." --John Wayne
Best not to feed it.
Here are some more. They're probably spraying barium. The bombs were a distraction, the real damage was caused by the spraying. It's all very hush-hush, top secret, etc. The Good Aliens, flying foo-fighters, tried to stop them, to no avail. Here is a link, in case you think I made that term up. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foo_fighter And another. Perhaps it was shopped? -------------------------------------------------------- I'll take your word for it, hon'.
Oh, that's fine. I have never denied the existence of contrails, and even grant they are formed by non-jet engine exhaust. That however, has no bearing upon current observations taken since the early 90's nor the few samples that have been analyzed. As well are the handful of reports from Airframe Mechanics reporting unaccounted for tanks and pipe runs in aircraft. I have not now, nor barring more information, claimed to know exactly what the chemtrails are or their purpose. My only observations are in regard to the radically increased quantity observed, and photographed, beginning in about 1990 (which incidentally, just FYI, was long after WWII). bigger engines, more efficient engines (which produce more water), more air traffic, the internet, and art bell have nothing to do with anything. neither does alex jones ranting for years about "chemtrails", nor does a deliberate attempt to discomboulate the american public, which seems to be more than willing to be discombobulated by egomaniacal radio personalities.
My guess is, is that this 90's business is the result of the internet. People spread it all over, and it took on a life of its own. Get a bigshot VIP CT to mention it, and it takes off from there. The increase could be the increase in air traffic. Nothing more, nothing less. Or it could be the result of more people paying attention to a phenomena that, thanks to the conspiracy theorists, while it was always there, it was attributed to .gov shenanigans instead of them being simple contrails. As for the mysterious pipes and tanks, a source for this would be nice. I used to believe in them myself, due in part to CT bigwigs mentioning them. The total lack of evidence turned me off. -------------------------------------------------------- that's been discredited here, already. the pipes and tanks were rigged inside the airplane for center of gravity tests... the water in the tanks was pumped fore and aft to determine CG limits.
Makes sense. A tail heavy plane is not a stable plane. -------------------------------------------------------- PSUSA, without the "2", posted on the thread that explained the function of the pipes and tanks, a showed the falsified photos used by the chemmies.
I remember that pic. I was wondering how I could find it again, if someone posted it as "evidence" of chemtrails, since I did ask for proof. There is no search bar here. Congrats to the person that originally figured out it was fake, and produced the original. -------------------------------------------------------- Twenty-Five Ways To Suppress Truth: The Rules of Disinformation 3. Create rumor mongers. Avoid discussing issues by describing all charges, regardless of venue or evidence, as mere rumors and wild accusations. Other derogatory terms mutually exclusive of truth may work as well. This method which works especially well with a silent press, because the only way the public can learn of the facts are through such 'arguable rumors'. If you can associate the material with the Internet, use this fact to certify it a 'wild rumor' from a 'bunch of kids on the Internet' which can have no basis in fact. 4. Use a straw man. Find or create a seeming element of your opponent's argument which you can easily knock down to make yourself look good and the opponent to look bad. Either make up an issue you may safely imply exists based on your interpretation of the opponent/opponent arguments/situation, or select the weakest aspect of the weakest charges. Amplify their significance and destroy them in a way which appears to debunk all the charges, real and fabricated alike, while actually avoiding discussion of the real issues.

I figured this would happen. I said: My guess is, is that this 90's business is the result of the internet. People spread it all over, and it took on a life of its own. Get a bigshot VIP CT to mention it, and it takes off from there. Then you said" Twenty-Five Ways To Suppress Truth: The Rules of Disinformation 3. Create rumor mongers. Avoid discussing issues by describing all charges, regardless of venue or evidence, as mere rumors and wild accusations. I said that " my guess is..." That is not a rumor. You asked, I answered. Therefore " Avoid discussing issues" is bullshit. You are the one that brought up the issue, and I whipped it out and pissed all over it. I said: As for the mysterious pipes and tanks, a source for this would be nice. I used to believe in them myself, due in part to CT bigwigs mentioning them. The total lack of evidence turned me off. Then you said: 4. Use a straw man. Are you a strawman? Did I use you? Do you work nights as a scarecrow? You are the one that said, in post 70 that "As well are the handful of reports from Airframe Mechanics reporting unaccounted for tanks and pipe runs in aircraft". You brought it up, not me. Proof would be nice. A lack of proof is telling. Your distracting is telling. But, I'm bored. Slapping you around is a fun past-time on occasion. This is one of those occasions. -------------------------------------------------------- Given that you have been consistently on the losing end of our exchanges I can understand - unless you are a masochist too. And there is a simple way to avoid my pointing out of your logical fallacies and disinformation tactics - don't rely on logical fallacies and disinformation tactics. Hint: They only work against people unfamiliar with them. As for the Airframe Mechanics I did not tout it as definitive - but only one apocryphal piece of data. My position does not rely on it, as we both know and trying to use it as an attack point conforms very nicely to: 4. Use a straw man. Find or create a seeming element of your opponent's argument which you can easily knock down to make yourself look good and the opponent to look bad.

Amplify their significance and destroy them in a way which appears to debunk all the charges, real and fabricated alike, while actually avoiding discussion of the real issues. Neither did I tout my guesses on why this is even a worthy topic and how it came about. I claimed no "truth", therefore I said they were guesses. I used that word, "guess". To me it is as surreal as trying to convince someone that 2+2 does not equal 5. But my guesses do make more sense than your "evidence". There has been no evidence presented by the chemtrail believers. All you have is "the government is evil, I see what looks like aircraft spraying, therefore they are trying to kill us all". Presenting evidence would remove all doubt. Then agents like us would be out of work. We'd be stuck sitting in bars, reliving the good old days. So, you want to stick it to the man? Prove it. But I understand why this is. To look into it, the science behind it, would remove the sexiness from the topic. It's so much easier to believe in such huge conspiracies because that takes no thought at all. Your eyes don't lie, right? Seeing is believing, right? Not if you don't know what it is you're seeing. -------------------------------------------------------- What it comes down to is that I've been on this planet long enough to remember a time BEFORE CHEMTRAILS were visible in the skies. I had long seen CONTRAILS, both as a child, and later as a US Marine at a Marine Corps Air Station where we had jets. I've seen high altitude formations of F4 fighters leaving contrails, I've seen cargo aircraft leaving contrails, and I've seen commericial aircraft leaving contrails. I know what contrails are, and have known about them and seen them for a very long time. HOWEVER, CHEMTRAILS did not begin to appear in the skies till the mid 90's (as far as my own personal experience). When I first saw them I said to myself, "WTF are they spraying up there", as it was obvious what I was seeing were NOT contrails, but some sort of dispensed aerosol that lingered, spread out, and caused the sky to become grey. In regards to the images you posted, yes, even old propeller driven aircraft produced CONTRAILS due to the hot exhaust hitting cold air. The pattern in the last picture was obviously caused by fighters engaging in dogfights. HOWEVER, I can be pretty certain that they did NOT persist, linger, spread out, and turn the skies grey, since water vapor simply turns back into its original state once it returns to its original temperature. Water vapor MIXED with chemicals behaves differently, and that is what people see in the form of CHEMTRAILS. And the obvious crisscrossing of planes that turn around at high altitude (or even fairly LOW altitude) and overlap existing plumes at 90 angles is not a normal or standard flight pattern, especially when 2 or more such aircraft are seen turning around and deliberately creating such patterns in the sky. I once saw several such aircraft at a relatively low alitude creating such a criss cross pattern, and brought it to my neighbor's attention to get his opinion. He thought there was some sort of airshow going on, yet, there was no air show that day. That is close to my own experience. I have been a plane watcher and aviation fan since I was a kid. Like you I know what a contrail looks like. I didn't really begin to notice the chemtrails myself until I started hearing about them in the late nineties and saw a few photos online in 2001 or 2002. What really made me set up and take notice was when they started in earnest here about 2003. I remember stepping out one morning in the late spring and I looked up and there they were regularly spaced in uniform parallel from horizon to horizon in what would otherwise have been a clear blue sky. The puffy cloudy trails had, by their sheer quantity, likely been going up since sometime around dawn. After that I noticed several more major sets, but none quite so dramatic as that first. I went instantly from wondering about it to knowing about it.
