Do you believe in "Chemtrails?"

It's the newest conspiracy theory, ever since they mentioned it in that one X-Files Episode.

Chemtrails. Affectionately known amongst in-the-know conspiracy circles as "CTs." This is presumably to differentiate them from extraterrestrials or, ETs, while still allowing the possibility for rhyme.

What the fuck, one might ask, is a chemtrail? Well, conspiracy experts at rense.com explain:

What's the difference between a jet contrail and a chemtrail? According to the U.S. Air Force, jet contrails form above 33,000 feet when hot engine exhaust momentarily condenses ice crystals into pencil-thin vapor trails that quickly vanish like the wake behind a boat.

Chemtrails (CTs) look like contrails initially, but are much thicker, extend across the sky and are often laid down in varying patterns of Xs, tick-tack-toe grids, cross-hatched and parallel lines. Instead of quickly dissipating, chemtrails expand and drip feathers and mare s tails. In 30 minutes or less, they open into wispy formations which join together, forming a thin white veil or a "fake cirrus-type cloud" that persists for hours.

They go on later to say,

In August 2000, chemtrail watchers began to report "more normal" appearing or nearly invisible jet sprays. However, these reports go on to include cloud formations dripping the feathers and mare s tails just as the chemtrails do. It s our belief that the operation has adjusted the chemtrail mix as word about the phenomenon is spreading and as more and more people are looking up. Observant chemtrail watchers continue to see the "fake cirrus-type clouds" on top of and surrounding real cumulus clouds.

Who is doing the spraying? Witnesses have documented and photographed military KC-135s and KC-10s and white, unmarked jets. Airport personnel and pilots have also confirmed specific commercial airliners to be leaving the long lasting chemtrails.

What's in the chemtrails, and why are they spraying us? We wish we knew. There are only a few planes in the world that have the equipment to analyze the spray mix and can get to the CT altitudes, clearance must be obtained to fly into the trails and money must be raised for the $22,000 per day plane rental fee.

There may be several programs working at the same time. Possibilities include atmospheric and weather modification and biowarfare. Many theorize that it s part of a clandestine operation to implement the New World Order (NWO) by eliminating society s "useless eaters" and the infirm and/or to reduce the population to a support level for the "elite". Originally, it was thought to be mass inoculation for possible biowarfare attack; this theory has been ruled out with the increase of sicknesses and illnesses in the CT paths

Of course, don't take rense.com's word for it. A google search will turn out about 461,000 hits for 'chemtrails,' the vast majority of those consisting of completely reputable sources and unbiased facts.

I know, I sound like I don't believe any of it. But then like all conspiracy theories it offers just enough theory on just the right low amount of evidence and ignorance. After all, *I* am no cloud expert. Can I really say what made this? (http://photos1.blogger.com/img/235/1003/1024/hole11.jpg) Or these (http://www.lightwatcher.com/chemtrails/sherrys_pics/haarp_action.jpg) clouds, ostensibly made by HAARP? They look like clouds to me, but it appears as if at least 90% of the chemtrail conspiracy whistleblowers are amateur meteorologists. Those clouds don't look like what I saw when I was a kid!

And what is HAARP all about, anyway?

One wonders.

Or not. ;)
