We went to visit my wife’s sister and her husband today, and were out in their yard (so the kids could play) and he spotted a pair of jets flying with their contrails streaming behhind them. He says “Hey! See those vapor trails behind the jets?!? Do you know what they ARE?” Of course, I said “Brain-control chemicals?”. That sort of knocked him off balance, but he recovered fast and launched into a long explanation about the drug companies using jet contrails to test secret pharmaceuticals, under the guise of polio vaccinations (or something - my brain reflexively shuts down the listening centers to protect itself from stuff like this).
Fortunately, it was time to go so I was rescued. He promised to forward the email to me which sheds light on the whole conspiracy to cover up the true nature of jet contrails. I told him tinfoil hats protect against brain control chemicals, but I think the irony escaped him. He’s an educated man, too, graduating from law school in May and taking the bar in June. He’ll probably pass it, too.
Well then, what are they exactly? What’s your explanation of how contrails from previous years (which would invariably vanish within 30 seconds to one minute of the airplane passing by) became the current ones, which persist up to all day and often spread into a milky haze?
Are you under thirty? Perhaps you don’t remember what ALL (real) contrails used to look like, but there are those who do. Perhaps your BIL is one of them. Modern “contrails” do not appear nor behave like past ones - got a better reason than that it’s something being sprayed? And if you’re so smart, why would you ever believe the government is letting us in on what they’re really doing? They don’t exactly have a great track record for telling the truth.
Well, he’s right, of course, but anyone with half a brain knows you don’t go blabbin’ about that stuff. He’s risking getting disappeared (or worse). Talking so cavelierly about it, forwarding emails that expose the conspiracy, and so on are certain to get him in trouble.
Your BIL is completely nuts! I know the real story.
This is It:
*We have polluted the ozone layer to the point of severe damage. The government is trying a massive “secret” cleanup before its too late. The culprit is many of the new jet propellants used especially by the military. The program would be to spray the cleanup compounds near the jet stream so that the chemicals would get high up into the ozone and “eat” the pollutants.
Such compounds attack whatever they attach themselves to including the human respiratory system. This may explain the massive “flu” outbreaks reported the last couple of years. These compounds could also cause great weather modification and some reports have tied severe weather to “sprayed” areas.*
After we moved into this house, from the woman who owned the house next door. She seemed nice enough, was a little odd, but otherwise alright I guess.
Right up until we had this very conversation.
It turned out it was just the opening shot in a whole lot of weirdness. She eventually became known around our house as ‘the whack job’. As you say, this was an educated woman.
She has since thrown off this earthly coil so I try and remember her fondly. The new owners, even with their five year old demon spawn, are a refreshing and delightful change.
Her theory went like this; they spray these chemicals/pharmaceuticals they want to test over a large area, then they check the emergency rooms to see how sick people get.
My very first question was, “Well wouldn’t they also be interested in the people who didn’t get sick?”. Ignored me like I hadn’t spoken so I said no more.
The city of Phoenix has a rather serious “brown cloud” air pollution problem, which is generally attributed to the enormous numbers of cars out here, and not helped by all the dust. I had a client who mentioned that she knew the reason for the brown cloud - all those Indians and their coal-burning stoves! :smack:
(Anyone who has been to Phoenix knows that Anglos and Hispanics outnumber Native Americans about 1000:1, and I’m not even sure you can buy coal anymore…)
Winston, this is uncanny - you’re brother-in-law is apparently MY brother-in-law, too! Does yours believe that he can get all his nutrition from sunlight, and that all the Nabiru and UFO stuff is all true? (I can’t report on his crazy beliefs too accurately, because I too shut down reflexively when he goes really woowoo).
He buys into the kind of stuff you mention. He also was going on about colon cleansing for a while (there’s an active thread about that right now, aamof). A few more gems: He thinks if his (18-month-old) son plays with dolls, he’ll catch teh gay. He believes the WTC towers were knocked over by the US Gov’t to kick off the war. He’s a yuppie. He cheats at golf. He disappears when it’s his turn to buy a round. I could go on, but you get the point, right?
By the way, I did feel sick all afternoon yesterday, after seeing all those jets & their contrails flying above us (classic symptom of the contrails). I attributed it to my lunch selection - mac n’ cheese casserole, half an egg salad sandwich (my sister in law is pregnant and serves whatever crazy shit she’s craving) (and more power to her) and two beers. But who knows, right?
I think we actually have two kinds of nuts going on - my brother-in-law is a (literal) tree-hugging* hippy who is so open-minded his brains have fallen out.
*He’s an arbourist - he spends his days hugging trees.
