CHEMTRAILS: No, it doesn't add up

Ten million megatons! Let’s figure that one out.

If, in 1988 when James Hansen gave his landmark speech to Congress warning of global warming, the planes had been on the tarmac loaded with 100 tons of aluminum fiber each, how often would the chemtrail-spraying planes have had to launch to reach 10 million megatons of chemicals sprayed into the sky, as columnist Cliff Harris asserts? The answer is 132 aircraft launched per second for 24 years. Still worse, if you say that each spraying mission takes an hour, then that means at any given time there will be 475,200 aircraft in the air.

If you wait to start the spraying the picture gets even worse. Now, let’s look at the logistics: delivering 13,200 tons of aluminum fiber per second to worldwide airfields would definitely leave a paper trail. Not to mention that factories would have to be churning out tens of thousands of tons of these chemicals per second. People would talk, if not in the delivery planes, in the factories and on the trains. So, if for no other reason, the sheer logistics of the effort couldn’t be hidden.

Chemtrails are just a scare tactic to panic the unwary. The motives for such panicking are at least as dark as any attributed to the geo-engineers. Ask yourself why the sheep are being herded, if not to slaughter. Consider how Mr. Harris got his DVD from an anonymous stranger who, out of pure civic mindedness dropped off an alarming piece of propaganda. Do you trust him? Check the stranger’s name and credentials; if you can’t, why buy in? Don’t be whipped up by mysterious strangers bearing gifts. Do the math and then relax.
