Do you believe that Chem trails are the result of the government controlling our weather?

On of the more tame conspiracy therorys my dh states as fact!!

When we were younger apparently there were no trails behind planes. I’m not sure tbh.

What do you believe?

What? every different govt in the world does?

PaintBySticker · 08/10/2018 21:48

@CocoDeMoll - what do you think about these un-scientific, perhaps anti-science, beliefs? They’re pretty ‘out there’ for me and I’d be especially unhappy about a partner objecting to vaccinating our children and leaving them exposed to serious preventable diseases.

Have the Russians got to him on social media? It’s their type of crazy.

abbsisspartacus · 08/10/2018 21:51

Control us how? We voted brexit! How is that what they wanted? they were completely unprepared for the result? Surely if Labour government controlled us they would still be in power unless the EVIL conservative party wrestled control from them to change our minds......feeling the need to point out I'm sober here

HopeGarden · 08/10/2018 21:51

I remember watching the trails when I was little, in the early 80s...

Same here. It’s not a recent phenomenon.

Helmetbymidnight · 08/10/2018 21:52

fiver says he voted Brexit.

NoNewsisGood · 08/10/2018 21:53

Cloud seeding in Devon caused terrible flooding back years ago. Perhaps he's got muddled up with that?

TheFaerieQueene · 08/10/2018 21:54

But life expectancies have been rising and rising. How would that happen if the government were making us ill?
Why make us ill? We work and pay taxes, which is surely what they want.

I definitely couldn't have married anyone who believed that stuff. Frankly I don't think I could stay married to someone who did. Someone who used to be my best friend and I essentially no longer keep in touch at all due to this issue. It's a fundamental disregard for logic and the scientific process, which I hold extremely dear.

My first ever LTB!

Is your DH David Icke?

HopeGarden · 08/10/2018 21:58

Honestly, I would have real difficulties in maintaining a relationship beyond the most superficial of acquaintances, with someone who genuinely believes the things you’ve listed in your posts.

MIdgebabe · 08/10/2018 21:58

There is a conspiracy about the contrails. Just not what he is thinking.

They are water/ice released in what should be a very dry part of the atmosphere. As such, they have a strong global warming affect that the airline industry has desperately, and successfully , managed to get played down.

waterlego6064 · 08/10/2018 21:59

Oh, I love a bonkers conspiracy theory. Please tell us some of his others!

I think my favourite is the one where Paul McCartney is actually dead (has been for about 50 years), and the person who we believe to be McCartney is in fact the bloke who was a decoy for McCartney back in the day. (Lookalikes who come out the front of the venue while the real performers sneak out the back to avoid a mobbing!) There are forums of people discussing it earnestly for pages and pages. 😆

BoomTish · 08/10/2018 21:59

I don’t think any sane people believe that.

Did you have your child(ren) vaccinated?

What age are you? I’m 36 and distinctly remember seeing the trails as a child.

TheCatFromOuterSpace · 08/10/2018 22:00

I remember being fascinated by them as a small child...I am 40 so they aren't a new thing Grin

Hayles88 · 08/10/2018 22:04

Meh, it's nuts but then many people believe in world creating/controlling sky fairies and sit there speaking to them in their heads.

People are just weird.

DieAntword · 08/10/2018 22:09

Lol no. What does your husband think of shape shifting lizards?

TakeAChanseyOnMe · 08/10/2018 22:12

An anti-vaxxer would be a complete no for me. Angry

Sitranced · 08/10/2018 22:13

The chemtrails story is so boring now, haven't we got any new ones yet?

CocoDeMoll · 08/10/2018 22:14

He did NOT vote brexit Shock!!

We did have our kids vaccinated but only because I’m in charge of child related things.

Sadly all his therorys are very fun of the mill mundane. We’re all being kept I’ll and weak by vaccines and meds. The government are using mind control through our screens and in our skies etc. No lizard beliefs unfortunately Grin

On my FBk today.

Do you believe that Chem trails are the result of the government controlling our weather?
BMW6 · 08/10/2018 22:16

No.

Because it's all kinds of stupid.

(When my Mum watched dogfights during WW2 and saw all the contrails from Allied and German planes, which government does he think was doing what to whom?)
