Chemtrails in Winnipeg Letter of the Day

In mid-April 2009 I wrote a Letter to the Editor, which was published as Letter of the Day in the April 18, 2009 edition of the Winnipeg Sun:

JET 'STREAMS'

Hey Winnipeggers, look up, way up to the sky.

Several people I have talked to have noticed 'chemtrails' more often over Winnipeg. These are produced by jet planes creating cross-hatch and heart-shaped patterns in the sky.

Not just in Winnipeg, but also planet-wide.

Why is it that the sky starts out clear blue in the morning, and by late afternoon it is grey and overcast?

It is because of these man-made "clouds" which are intended to block the rays of the sun. Some scientists have tested the fallout of trails and say it is composed of toxic substances like barium and sulphur dioxide — long-term exposure leading to a weakened immune system. Why are these chemicals being sprayed on us?

They are certainly not spraying for mosquitos at this time of the year, as mosquito season has not started yet.

As human beings on this planet, we have a right to breathe clean, fresh air, and receive undisturbed access to sunlight.

Editor: Could natural clouds be greying up the skies?

Since then there has been a counter-letter reply, debunking chemtrails as just contrails, published in the April 24, 2009 edition of The Sun:

CONTRAILS 101

Re: Jet streams, Letters, April 18.

The "chemtrails" you're writing about are actually called "contrails" which is short for "condensation trails." These are visible trails of condensed water vapour made by the exhaust of aircraft engines. Depending on atmospheric conditions, contrails may be visible for only a few minutes.

That's it, nothing more. No great conspiracy to poison our air or block out the sun. Contrails don't collect together to make clouds. You might see more than one contrail at a time because more than one aircraft flew over.

The big clouds you see that fill up the sky are not man made. Those are actually real, nature-made clouds.

The smoke used at air shows is for show only and is considered harmless because it dissipates before it hits the ground.

Editor: Thanks for the explanation.

Who is this Kevin Marcotte gentleman? Could he be the very same Kevin Marcotte who wrote in a web board devoted to CFB Baden Soellingen in 1999?

Regardless, it seems that pandoras box has now been opened. More people are going to look up at the sky and wonder why the strange patterns. Then they'll start to do their own Google and Youtube searches....And then...

We Are Watching The Watchmen

I saw the new movie The Watchmen this past weekend. It has several references to the New World Order and such.

The story goes back to a comic book released in September 1986, during the same time when "Iran-Contra" was going on in the mainstream media.

I noticed too during this time period a major shift in pop culture FROM one that is promoting "family values", for example the NBC Sunday night program Our House and ABC's The Disney Sunday Movie, TO one that questions trust of one another. Then in 1987 there were a lot of breakups in relationships and in families. The music changed a bit, from being fun, party-like, to being much more dark, and "garange"-like. If you don't know what "garange" is, just listen to the dark theme of Genesis' Tonight, Tonight, Tonight. It can best be thought of as a "biting anger".

That time period, between October 1986 and around 1992, were a transition period. Sure there was bad, but there was also good. We had the great set design and great catchy theme of CNN HeadlineNews, and we had a sort of revival of 1950s culture, where people were reminded of rural culture and those people who were migrating to the cities. So we had this ying yang of Town and Country.

But there was also the bad, in the form of increased tabloid journalism and the creation of FOX Television, Maury Povitch, Inside Edition, and wall to wall coverage of Iran Contra.
