Dallas,

You've said a lot, and thanks for your reply and for taking the time be become informed by reading and studying with the time you do have available. If all people would just take a little time each month and research, the world would be much different.

About your question relating to knowing whether or not planes are emitting chemicals or just creating condensation...

Condensation from jet engines (when I was a kid I wanted to design jet engines; I knew every U.S. military plane and every rocket's name and many specs about them; You know how kids are) dissipates usually within seconds. You'll see a trail of "smoke" behind the plane that goes away withing second and is no longer visible. This is a "contrail".

Chemtrails are composed of hard substances (probably barium, aluminum, titanium, etc) and is emitted through apparatus designed specifically for just this purpose. These trails don't dissipate the same way or in the same amount of time. The hang around a lot longer, often lose altitude—floating down toward the ground—and spead out often covering a large area, but sometimes retaining their shape. Nevertheless, they are very different in appearance then condensation trails.

I actually have video of both con- and chem- trails in my personal photo gallery:

Your comment about pharmaceuticals paying off government is very true. There is quite a relationship between the two and has been for some time. My brother—a vice and S.W.A.T. veteran—actually was in charge of guarding a meeting of senior George Bush and pharmaceutical executives in the lush Saddlebrook resort in Florida (not far from where I used to live) during the senior Bush presidency.

Thank you for your insightful comments.
