Please debunk this chemtrail documentary for me
    #10565640 - 06/24/09 02:54 PM (2 years, 10 months ago)

DON'T TALK ABOUT THE WEATHER

so here is the deal, whenever this "chemtrails" issue is discussed people seem to get extremely offended and say things like...
"you have no brain"
"you are paranoid"
"you are crazy"

but they never seem to tell me why my beliefs are crazy, they just are.
so...
since so many people are so passionate about telling me how wrong I am, I am offering a chance for them to "save me". I want to be shown where my reasoning becomes illogical and just plain wrong.

I picked this documentary because it contains some very good video footage of the phenomenon and then attempts to explain it in a scientific and historical context. All of its assertions are laid out in a easy to understand logical progression that I think makes total sense.

I am inviting everyone to correct me where they see fit. Mods if you feel this needs to go into a different forum then by all means...

I really want this thread to be about coming to the truth of the matter and not a "I'm right your wrong" war. If somebody can show me where the video makes a mistake or bends the truth too much then direct me to it and we can start some discussion from there. I want us to truly learn from this. We can't deny the fact that this phenomenon is being documented all over the world so what is going on?

So if you've gotten this far then click the above link and take some notes. I appreciate everyone's time. Thank you.

I see what your saying orgone. I could make many statements arguing the existence of chemtrails, but I thought that might 'color' the entire thread with a 'chemtrails exist' stance.

it seems to me that a lot of the "rational people" won't even look at the information that chemtrails POSSIBLY exist. they just scoff at the entire notion with no investigation. so much for being open-minded.

I thought if I let the video represent my side of the argument it would encourage a critique on the information itself and not a personal "your just stupid" type argument.

instead of tearing me apart for believing in chemtrails, just have at the video. I'm afraid though that a lot of people will just shrug this off as a "waste of their time" or "this is just a stupid youtube video". I hope someone will prove me wrong.

The title of your thread is prove they don't exist. Also, you admit you believe in them. And further more why are you afraid of that

You've watched the documentary right, GreenLeaf?  So why can't you detail all the evidence, write it down, edit it, narrow it down, edit it some more, rewrite it, make a synopsis and present it to us in a format that doesn't require us to watch 27 videos we don't want to watch?  You need to do some work if you want to convert non-believers.  It's not going to happen overnight.

(Actually... this is a pet peeve of mine... people who post long articles they didn't write or long videos they didn't make, tell us to go spend our precious time soaking up THEIR interests, then report back here to acknowledge them.  But I'll let you off the hook today because you're obviously going through hard times.  Normally I would ignore you, just to keep from flaming you myself and getting banned.  Trust me when I tell you I'm trying to be kind and helpful, because I have a very close friend with similar beliefs as yours and even though I don't share those beliefs, I like her.  We get along well.  There is no easy way out of this.  You have to put forth some serious personal effort.  Unfortunately, she won't put forth the effort either... which just ads to the disbelief.  This is your mission.  Make it your own.  I don't care if you have to go get a degree in Aerospace Engineering... just DO IT.  It's up to YOU to tell the world the truth.  :thumbup: )

That video is several hours long at least. Could you make a few statements, like, what does the video state the chemtrails are made of, and the intention in putting them up there?

Offhand, I have read that in the right conditions, contrails can attract moisture and grow, but it does seem that some of the pictures show excessive numbers of contrails. It is possible that the more impressive pictures are taken close to airports, though that's just a guess.

Legitimate uses (secret or otherwise) could be cloud formation for rain, or as a way to combat global warming, though I'm not convinced the government actually believes in global warming.

If it was being used for some nefarious purpose, it would seem easier, more effective, and more target specific to spike the water supply or food supply. And there is questionable information. For instance, it's quite hard to sample a chemtrail. Why are believers so sure it's composed of metallic particles?

That is incorrect.  Rational people do have an open mind, they consider if chemtrails exist and come to the conclusion they do not.  Just because they don't come to the same conclusion as you doesn't mean they didn't have an open mind and investigate.

I will admit it's "possible" that chemtrails exist. I mean, I don't trust the government. But it's a big jump from possibility to truth.

What should we investigate? Beyond all the conjecture, and video of what appears to be contrails, what is there to investigate?

looks like i interrupted watching it too soon.

the ones i see are only at night.. and look like the ones at the beginning , when they're going really fast.

its more like shooting stars.. only they're made out of just light... and they disappear very quickly.

could be my hppd with all the phone lines

He also seemed to pick pretty ridiculous straw man "arguments" to represent the other side.  Calling someone crazy isn't an argument, everybody can agree.



RE: chemtraisl claims
How can anyone believe someone's claim based on observational study and analysis when we don't know what the data is, what the methodology used to collect it was, what the analysis was and why, and what the conclusions were and why?  They'll make an hour long video but won't do some simple writeups with their evidence and reasoning so that others may replicate their findings?


I've no interest in watching a long video.  I watched part of it previously and it was the usual shit: no description of methodology and analysis and conclusory statements that are impossible to support.  If there is an argument the proponents should make it rather than editing video of pointless shit.  Its not difficult to provide this information, the only thing I can conclude is that they don't care at all about convincing rational people, or that they know a description of their means of methodology, data,  analysis, and such will not support their conclusions.  Either way, it doesn't speak highly for the beliefs being promoted when a fifth grader's science fair volcano has more robust investigations and writeups then the whole of the chemtrail advocates' efforts.

I'm pretty open-minded. And I believe some unusual things, like that there are bigfoots.
ut I can't make any sense out of chemtrails. I don't understand why 'aluminum' is supposed to matter anyway, since it is inert. Or why the stuff is being sprayed some places and not others. I don't understand why it's being sprayed and not just put in our water. Or put in food.

Mostly, I don't understand the idea that thousands and thousands of people are keeping this secret. That to me seems utterly absurd. There's just no way that every single person involved maintains perfect silence, it's humanly impossible.

K, I'll debunk it

Everything's fine. No government ever has talked about geo engineering. These new cloud formations are just because people haven't been paying attention to the sky for the past sixty million years. Planes sometimes have short trails, or long and lingering trails. Who knows why? It's a mystery. Whatever it is, it's certainly safe, because who'd ever knowingly, or unknowingly poison their own people?

Or just, y'know. Watch the film, pause it when there's something you disagree with, and put it into google.

Well I'm not going to spend 5 hours pulling together all that information just so others can shit all over me (like 90% of the replies in here).

The video is there, it's only two hours. I've already tried just pulling up the sources from the movie and presenting them. Here let me show you, this was from another thread that started into this disscusion.

http://www.fas.org/sgp/congress/2001/hr2977.html

Why the fuck would our government right bills about things that didn't exist?

Lol, that is your proof? A random bill that didn't even pass through the house? Your 'proof' was never even signed into law, and bills can be written by ANYONE. That bill in particular is so weak it was introduced for review and killed the same day. This is a completely insignificant document, thanks for playing though! Maybe if you actually knew how to critically think and use your brain/read you would know this.

Like I already said, this is one of the most ridiculous conspiracy theories out there and it is hilarious you uneducated simple minded mother fuckers buy into any youtube vid you see online with no research or work done on your part.

Just cause you don't understand clouds & the atmosphere doesn't mean the govt is out to get you.

Post some more 'gotcha' docs lol




so you can see how I've been abused. I'm so delicate now...
