I've seen mention of contrails referenced by RW nut jobs

[captain queeg]

A quick google search only lists the reality of water vapor from airplanes at high altitude. What do the nutters think they are?

1. Hey, I have got some tinfoil hats for sale if you happen to know that any of them might want a ...

hat! Cheap and very simple to tailor to one's head.

2. Chemtrails!

There is a whole world of nut-jobbery in there....

3. DU Terms of Service

The subject is specifically mentioned in the DU terms of service. There is a thing called Google.

Posts about mass shootings being "false flag" operations, 9/11 being a controlled demolition, no airplane at the Pentagon, chemtrails, black helicopters, the Illuminati, or other nonsense make us all look like fools. This website may have the word "underground" in our name, but we are not extreme fringe.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemtrail_conspiracy_theory

The chemtrail conspiracy theory posits the erroneous belief that long-lasting condensation trails are "chemtrails" consisting of chemical or biological agents left in the sky by high-flying aircraft, sprayed for nefarious purposes undisclosed to the general public.

10. Ok, thanks. Guess if I'd have googled the proper term I'd have been ushered into RW crazy.

4. Who knows it is a product of Alex Jones and

Coast to Coast radio.

6. More C2C than Jones

Although he was likely onboard early.

Art Bell had many guests discussing chemtrails.

7. I enjoyed listening to Art Bell at work on night shift years ago no matter how crazy

the conspiracy was he went along with it. Chem-trails, aliens, remote viewing, 911 conspiracies, big foot............
It was something to pass time and stay awake.

5. Depending on which nut job you ask they contain;

Mind control drugs
Chemicals that cause cancer and demetia
Chemicals that activate the nanites in your covid vaccine
Messages only our alien overlords can access
Chemicals to control the weather and crops
Chemicals to make people more/less violent

There is a small contingency of survivalist out there who are working on underground sustainble agriculture so they never have to surface again.

8. Help... I'm trapped in a supermarket tabloid nation.

I used to think even the biggest fans knew, deep inside, that it was idiotic bullshit.

11. Weekly World News was a very funny paper

I think a lot of people didn’t understand that WWN was a self-parody of the genre.

It’s a shame they went out of business.

12. I worked in a news and smoke shop.

I'm sorry to say that I never paid attention to any of them beyond the front page, so missed out.

I'm a lot less earnest these days.
