The “Chemtrail” folks, when pushed, couldn’t come up with anything substantive….
In fact, when the hard questions were asked, they faded away like Homer Simpson into the bushes.
I expect that if I asked the same from the “Vaccines are all bad” crowd, they’d do the same.
Not every conspiracy theory is wrong, but most are…..Most have their basis in fear and ignorance…Most of the followers of a particular conspiracy theory just can’t use logic, refuse to think critically and don’t bother to think clearly or use science…And it shows…It’s more like a religion.
And the worst part is the reinforce each other like women gossiping. What appear to be intelligent people go off-the-rails when it come to things like “chemtrails” and the “Vaccine Conspiracy”… They just repeat what others have said….
They never have anything substantive, nor can they provide those critical things like details…All they have is innuendo and anecdotes from someone that they don’t know who they heard about 5th-hand or saw in X or Facebook, but whose credentials they have no idea about….and when pressed they act like 7th grade girls in an argument, twisting and squirming and deflecting, but never answering. They BELIEVE because they need something to fear and to talk about.
Sad, really.
It is fun to mess with them though.
In response to the chemtrail kooks, I like to post photos of the contrail-filled skies from World War II, along with a caption that goes something like “It’s a good thing all those bombers and fighters didn’t have anything more important to do than spray chemicals in the air.”
Not to be adversarial…sorry if I sound like that…..but their silence doesn’t really “prove” the hypothesis is false. And this question isn’t laid to rest. It just shows that “they” don’t have proof. Therefore, research needs to continue.
I personally don’t believe the vapor-trails are ladened with chemicals. I am of the opinion that it is just ice crystals forming in that weird vortex that planes make.
Having grown up in the 50’s and 60’s on the family dairy farm; I observed numerous instances of vapor-trails back then. We were in the flight path of planes leaving the Dane County airport.
One more thing; what would it take to convince you or any of your readers that “they” are correct in their “fear” of the “chem-trails”; besides their assertions?
They showed nothing. Not proof, I didn’t expect that, but not even details of what they fear….Go back and reread the original post: What are they spraying, who is doing it, who is funding it, etc.
Not even one reply on those questions.
If they cannot even name that which they fear, or the supposed culprits, then what, exactly are they afraid of? What Chemtrail Conspiracy exists if there isn’t someone to blame? or a wrong being committed?
Just a tangential thought……people want to believe in a “boogie-man” when they feel powerless in their own lives.
Yeap, no proof or even a stand up and be counted moment.
