For starters, I personally am an ex-airline ramp supervisor.
Oztheweatherman has made no secret about the fact that he is a professional meteorologist.
Weedwhacker has been very open about being a professional airline pilot (for the same airline I worked for as a matter of fact).
…and that is just three off the top of my head. There are other airline personnel, meteorology professionals, pilots, and aeronautical engineers on ATS who have all told you guys the same exact thing over and over… There is NO SUCH THING AS CHEMTRAILS…It’s a HOAX… PERIOD…As an ATS Staff Member, I will not moderate in threads such as this where I have participated as a member.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires that spills or accidental releases
of 5,000 pounds or more of aluminum sulfate be reported. Special regulations are set
for aluminum phosphide because it is a pesticide.
What is aluminum?
Aluminum occurs naturally and makes up about 8% of the surface of the earth. It is
always found combined with other elements such as oxygen, silicon, and fluorine.
Aluminum metal is silver-white and flexible. It is often used in cooking utensils,
containers, appliances, and building materials. It is also used in paints and fireworks; to
produce glass, rubber, and ceramics; and in consumer products such as antacids,
astringents, buffered aspirin, food additives, and antiperspirants.
How might I be exposed to aluminum?
Eating small amounts of aluminum in food.
Breathing higher levels of aluminum dust in workplace air.
Drinking water with high levels of aluminum near waste sites, manufacturing plants, or
areas naturally high in aluminum.
Eating substances containing high levels of aluminum (such as antacids) especially
when eating or drinking citrus products at the same time.

WHAT?!?!? My gawd. man!!! You keep harping on about information deconstructing....and this entire response to me was an EXACT EXAMPLE of the very "tactics" you are accusing others of, and decrying!! I just hold my forehead in amazement....but, the most amazing of all? Is this incredible "summation" at the very end! It is borderline fringe off-the-wall....and I am shocked that anyone with an ounce of reason and logic would spurt such hyperbole:
These eugenic globalists ...... They want us dead.
I mean, come on!! You should step back a bit, and take a fuller inventory of yourself....this is just the first step on the path to losing touch with reality, big time. Already the case with quite a few "chemmies".....
In 1969, writing with Paul R. Ehrlich, Holdren claimed that, "if the population control measures are not initiated immediately, and effectively, all the technology man can bring to bear will not fend off the misery to come."[9] In 1973 Holdren encouraged a decline in fertility to well below replacement in the United States, because "210 million now is too many and 280 million in 2040 is likely to be much too many"[10]. Currently, the U.S. population is 306,900,000[11]. In 1977 he co-authored (with Paul R. Ehrlich and Anne H. Ehrlich) Ecoscience[12], which discussed the possible role of a "planetary regime" in enforcing population control. Also discussed was the possibility of adding a sterilant to drinking water; "Adding a sterilant to drinking water or staple foods is a suggestion that seems to horrify people more than most proposals for involuntary fertility control. Indeed, this would pose some very difficult political, legal, and social questions, to say nothing of the technical problems. No such sterilant exists today, nor does one appear to be under development. To be acceptable, such a substance would have to meet some rather stiff requirements: it must be uniformly effective, despite widely varying doses received by individuals, and despite varying degrees of fertility and sensitivity among individuals; it must be free of dangerous or unpleasant side effects; and it must have no effect on members of the opposite sex, children, old people, pets, or livestock.".
John Holdren has called for geo-engineering in an effort to 'save the planet' from anthropological man-made climate change[1]. He has a history of working together with Paul Ehrlich on several books and essays, and has similar views on subjects such as population control, the environment and energy policies.
“A total population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal.” – Ted Turner – CNN founder and UN supporter – quoted in the McAlvany Intelligence Advisor, June ’96
Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 [500 million] in perpetual balance with nature.
and it must have no effect on members of the opposite sex, children, old people, pets, or livestock. ...
"Again, there is no sign of such an agent on the horizon. And the risk of serious, unforeseen side effects would, in our opinion, militate against the use of any such agent, even though this plan has the advantage of avoiding the need for socioeconomic pressures that might tend to discriminate against particular groups or penalize children."
Later, the authors conclude, "Most of the population control measures beyond family planning discussed above have never been tried. Some are as yet technically impossible and others are and probably will remain unacceptable to most societies (although, of course, the potential effectiveness of those least acceptable measures may be great).
Chaff can disrupt electrical power and directly affect electrical
equipment. San Diego Gas and Electric Company and Navy officials
have identified two instances in which chaff caused power outages in
1985. In the first case, chaff accidently blown over San Diego,
California, during a Navy exercise 75 to 200 miles from the coast
affected power to 65,000 customers and disrupted air traffic control.
The Navy reimbursed the power company between $50,000 and $60,000 for
damage. The second incident occurred 5 days later, again in San
Diego, when a Navy jet inadvertently showered power lines with chaff
on takeoff, causing interruptions in power service.
The Navy is developing a new type of chaff that will break up more
quickly in the environment. It says the new chaff is needed to
alleviate public concerns about the health and environmental effects
of chaff, particularly the perceived threat that chaff can be
inhaled. However, DOD has not demonstrated how it will address these
public concerns. The new chaff is also more expensive.
Some Navy program officials told us there is no operational or
environmental requirement to develop a new type of chaff and that the
Navy believes the chaff currently in use is not harmful to the
environment or a threat to health or public safety. However, they
acknowledged that fiberglass chaff persists in the environment and
that some members of the public perceive chaff as environmentally
harmful or undesirable. They are taking action to develop a new
degradable chaff, saying they thus hope to head off any possible
restrictions on chaff use that may result in reductions in military
training. DOD officials stressed its obligation to protect the
environment and DOD's sensitivity to concerns expressed by some
members of the public. It noted that the effort includes the
development of environmentally degradable parts to replace plastic
pieces presently used in systems that dispense chaff.
Unlike fiberglass chaff, the new chaff's base material and its
aluminum coating can take a few weeks to a few months to break up,
depending on conditions. Development of the new chaff began in
September 1993, and total development costs are estimated at about
$3.6 million. Navy officials anticipate the new chaff will be
available beginning in fiscal year 2001 and expect to buy only
degradable chaff in the future. They plan to buy about 474,000
bundles a year through fiscal year 2003. A Navy program official
estimated that a bundle of the new chaff will cost about 40 percent
more than it does currently.
After his famous book The Population Bomb was published in 1968, he has fallen somewhat in credibility for the world kept on turning and mankind is apparently still around, despite of the doom predicted. In 1969 Ehrlich predicted that ““smog disasters” in 1973 might kill 200,000 people in New York and Los Angeles” and “By 1985 enough millions will have died to reduce the earth’s population to some acceptable level, like 1.5 billion people”.
“…The first task is population control at home. How do we go about it? Many of my colleagues feel that some sort of compulsory birth regulation would be necessary to achieve such control. One plan often mentioned involves the addition of temporary sterilants to water supplies or staple food. Doses of the antidote would be carefully rationed by the government to produce the desired population size.” – Paul Ehrlich, The Population Bomb, p.130-131
“If I were reincarnated I would wish to be returned to earth as a killer virus to lower human population levels.” - Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh, leader of the World Wildlife Fund – quoted in “Are You Ready For Our New Age Future?,” Insiders Report, American Policy Center, December ’95

I have supplied my research. It was that which I asked Dr. Thyme to comment on.
In your opinion, do the soils tests shown in the movie demonstrate unusually high levels of aluminum? If so could you comment on this post:
www.abovetopsecret.com...
Phage asks a very pertinent question and i have not addressed it. If he does the research and finds what somewhat else has written in support of his arguments, then he is doing science properly and we have no problem at all. I have not been responding because i broke my computer - see www.howdt.blogspot.com for details.
As to the question of aluminum levels in the soil vs. in the snow - there is plenty of aluminum all over the place, but i cannot realistically explain the levels in the snow. I could see dust contributing somewhat, but 1000x over the EPA water standard. I don't think so. As a chemist, I do not trust the EPA one bit. But smokestacks in China and volcanic ash cannot explain the quantities in the water sample.
Aluminum in the form of alumina is inert - it does not react chemically. The EPA uses that fact to justify allowing it in all sorts of consumer goods, like make-up and antiperspirant. I do not use any products with aluminum or alumina as the base. Once you get the alumina into you through your skin, you have to rely on your body to physically remove it to get it out. There is no chemical or bio-chemical mechanism to do this.
If you start with anything other than alumina, then the body will gradually convert the material to alumina or strip off the oxygen to make the Al +3 cation. Neither of these is good either, the former leading to arteriosclerosis, the latter to prion diseases. This was explained in an earlier post - but we are now on page 19 - quite the thread.
As far as conspiracies and chemtrails - give me a better working hypothesis than geo-engineering. I will gladly admit to human stupidity and inertness - but to deny that there are trails in the sky that comes from the planes is just silly. So why the disinformation campaign on the part of the people who know what is going on? Can we have some transparency? Science has enough problems in and of itself these days - how do we know what truth is when the fundamental assumptions are never questioned and verified.
Come visit ATS radio this saturday at 10 pm Eastern and 7 pm pacific to carry on the conversation.
One last thing - in the post phage referred to for my comment: "Aluminum is not considered toxic by the EPA so they have no enforceable standards for maximum allowable levels in drinking water. They do have Secondary levels though. These levels do not represent health concerns but possible “cosmetic” or “aesthetic” effects. Those levels are set at from 0.05 to 0.20 mg/L, so if you drank the melted snow sample it might have tasted funny. California sets the Maximum Contaminant Level for aluminum in drinking water at 1.0 mg/L. California says you could use snow melt from Mt. Shasta as your water supply (as far as the aluminum level is concerned)."
I specifically disagree with the EPA on both Aluminum and on Flouride. Both of these materials are toxic byproducts of the aluminum industry, which paid great political attention to making certain that their waste products were not declared poisons. Flouride leads to osteoporosis and many other horrors which can take a whole other thread to go through. As a chemist, i consider these even worse than (gasp) mercury, which is super-toxic in the +1 form and benign as a +2 ion: yet throws the feds into conniptions whenever it is mentioned.
My credentials are irrelevant. What matters is the evidence brought forth. If you have issue with that, please discuss it. If you wish to discuss me further, I'm finished.
15). Posting: You will not Post any material that is knowingly false, misleading, or inaccurate. You will not solicit personal information from any member. You will not use information gathered from this website to harass, abuse or harm other people. www.abovetopsecret.com...
But it is silly to proclaim that because the trails sometimes persist and spread it is evidence that geoengineering is occurring. The trails have exhibited that same behavior ever since the first aircraft flew high enough to produce them.
www.suntimes.com...
The trails — formed when moisture condenses around aircraft engine exhaust — create cirrus clouds that block solar energy from above and trap heat below. They may be contributing to warming of the Earth’s surface temperature, NASA studies show.

I'll see your links and raise you!
My demeanor toward the Doctor has not changed. I don't require your approval of my "progress".
I make no claims about my credentials so there is nothing to verify.
Yes. The effects of contrails on climate are of concern. If people can get over the hang up on "chemtrails" they can learn something about the real issues.

Chemtrails in Disney movie CARS
How can an animated movie have chemtrails in it?
