I used to be big into conspiracy theories, chemtrails are one of the few that I haven't entirely dispensed with.

There are plenty of papers in scientific journals and talks at geoengineering conferences about using "stratospheric aerosols" as "solar radiation management" to increase the reflectivity of the earth and thereby decrease solar radiation/temperature. So such a thing as chemtrails is plausible - the only question is whether the program proposed by scientists is underway or not.

To me, it's not much of a stretch to say this program is currently underway. I'm also unconvinced that the trails that go across the entire sky and turn the entire sky into this sort of weird hazy cloud are garden variety contrails from condensed jet exhaust, which I also notice but are much shorter in duration. Another interesting thing I've noticed is that the "persistent contrails" always seem to form in the direction of the sky where the sun is.
repeat after me:

airplanes fly at different altitudes and that affects how contrails behave.

your physics lesson for today is over.

Among other factors like temperature, wind speed, the amount/composition of exhaust from a particular engine, the number of engines, ...

So the government is using airplanes to spray chemtrails to make the populace docile and easy to control but they won't legalize weed?
Hmm.....
I want to know how much the government is being charged by airlines for all those tanks of chemicals.... If my small duffel costs $25, they're probably getting raped.

The invisible alien mothership seeds the atmosphere with an undetectable substance that creates the chemtrails. They want to be able to visibly track all our aircraft so that we can't launch a sneak attack against them.

Chemtrails may be real but I am not sure. I do know for a fact that when I was in Colorado in 2014 I got a Morgellons string under my skin, I was shocked. It had literally crawled under my skin never seeing something like this in person before.

Reruns of Gilligans Island not on? : )

I did walk into that one. I am waiting for the special where the Harlem Globetrotters show up and somehow play basketball against robots. Or should i find the Incredible Hulk TV episode that lifted scenes from Spielberg's movie Duel. But the amazing thing about that episode is the movie had one man in the car and in the Hulk show it was 2 guys, so one man had to reach for something low every time they used movie footage. Anyone else know what I am talking about?

LOL

Morgellons is a psychiatric disorder, not a medical one.

Chemtrails are how the government disperses the tiny spiders that cause Morgellon's disease.

...holy crap! I actually just posted that nonsense about morgellons without clicking to the last page of this thread. I thought, everyone is going to be confused by this...:D

Hmm.....

So do government agents not breathe the same air and subjected to the same atmosphere as us? Or do they have some kind of invisible breathing apparatus and secret lotion to repel all the harmful chemcials?

The government are actually aliens, so their lungs work a bit differently and they can filter it out. Their goal is to eventually take over humanity so the aliens have simply become part of the government over the years. By 2020 the entire government will be aliens. They realized that violence would be too ineffective as it would just cause a war that ends up destroying everything, so rather than forcefully destroy us they are simply taking over society and will silently kill us all until they are the only ones left, then their ships will land and they'll colonize the planet.


(ok, that would actually be a pretty cool movie. :p )
