OK weedwhacker here is your chance to DEBUNK THIS.
First give me the links to the other threads you mentioned that as you claim have already proven the items I posted to be "bunk".
Second let's start with your claim that Ted Gunderson is a loony tunes, over the hill crackpot
post by weedwhacker
>sigh< Ted Gunderson is a loony tunes, over-the-hill crackpot. We have covered HIM, and that video, in another thread already. He has ZERO CREDIBILTY, and every claim he has made RE: "chem"-trails shown to be false. He is a joke.
Show me the psychiatric reports that support your claims and also any other evidence you wish to submit that back up your statements about Mr. Gundersonedit on 8-3-2011 by MathiasAndrew because: edit text
April 1, 2005 THIS IS AN OFFICIAL NOTICE OF PUBLIC POSTING:I, Stew Webb Federal Whistleblower hereby challenge Government Plants and Patriot Name Collectors CIA-FBI-DCS Ted L. Gunderson, Tim White, Ken Adachi, Larry Lawson Todd Fahey, Brenda Negri or anyone listed on this page. To write a similar Affidavit and sign and sent to me, Stew Webb and I will post it here. I will assume if I do not receive such within 10 days of this posting, by refusal to acknowledge you hereby admit to the facts you all are either or have been on Government payroll, paid by a FBI informant account, or by the US Inspector Generals account.
Evaluation of a Jet Fue l Thermal Stability Rig
Current and planned gas turbine engines use fuel as their primary heat sink. When jet fuel is
thermally stressed it will form gums and deposits. These deposits can block engine fuel nozzles,
causing damage to the engine hot sections, especially the combustor region. The fuelís thermal
stability is a critical fuel property with respect to optimum performance of modern military gas
turbine engines. The current standard method to rate fuel thermal stability, the Jet Fuel Thermal
Oxidation Tester (JFTOT), is a subjective, pass-fail type test and is not adequate as a tool to
quantitatively investigate fuel thermal stability.
A test to quantitatively rate a fuelís thermal stability was required to assist the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) in evaluating current fuels relative thermal stabilities and to assist in the assessment of the proposed fuel thermal stability additives, commonly known as JP8+100

Is this your idea of facts? Your goof ball writer on some no name website making wild false accusations and demanding a response from people within 10 days of his secret unseen posts. If they don't respond then that's some how an admittance of guilt ?

Did I or did I not prove that the Battelle corporation blends industrial toxic waste into the fuel to make a special high thermal value fuel?
Do you or do you not believe that the fuel is intended for use in the aviation industry?
You sound like you been breathing the chemtrails too much. Lay off they're starting to affect your brain.

The issue is not about Ted Gunderson or his credibility. And even if it was I hardly think that any of your claims have been proven or have discredited him in any way. None of you appear to have any real credibility to back up your smear campaign of propaganda and out right lies.
I haven't seen or heard any proof or evidence that what he said is false and in my opinion his credibility is a lot better than yours. So if all I have to go on is a persons credibility then I'm going to believe him before I believe you.

I don't know how you see or read but whatever method you are using obviously isn't working to well for you. I absolutely described the connection between the fuel with additives from toxic waste and chemtrails. I also stated that there are more than just 1 type of chemtrail. The fuel with the toxic waste are the ones with more particulate matter and also have a higher thermal value. Therefore the chemtrails are the planes making the so called "persistent contrails".
