This only works with one kind of 9/11 truther. Gotta switch up tactics for the Controlled Demolition and The Planes were Holograms guys.
Would you believe there's another one for that?
I still think the funniest one was that the first plane was an actual attack, the second one was just a pilot turning around to take a look.
Planes don't spray chemicals. But they do dump jet fuel into the air above cities when they're too heavy to land safely.
Of course if the safer option is available they'll dump it into the nearest body of water, or generally uninhabited terrain such as farmlands or forests.
That said they're flying high above and the fuel is sprayed at a slow enough rate relative to the speed of the plane that they aerosolize and just ride the wind to gently blanket the earth with their cool embrace.
Jet fuel combustion products aren't really produced in a quantity that would be harmful at the ground level, either. There's all sorts of nasty stuff in there, like sulfur dioxide and a ton of VOCs, but they're all produced in such small quantities relative to the volume of the atmosphere that they don't have much of any direct interaction with people or things on the ground.
The greenhouse effect and rain acidification definitely affects people, but they're not directly exposed to the chemicals in question. If you live near an airport runway, you might have an exposure problem from jet fuel.
I live near a flight school, so there's constantly a bunch of prop planes flying around in about a 40km radius around my place. Prop planes run on leaded avgas, and they're constantly spraying tetraethyl lead into the atmosphere. Since the flight school opened here, there's been a recorded year-over-year increase in the water table lead levels and childhood lead exposure. Pb(C₂H₅)₄ is more massive than SO₂ or NO~x~, so it drops out of the sky in the local environment.
Commercial aviation sucks, absolutely, but the overwhelming environmental impact from aviation is from private aviation. This should be a no-brainer, your local dentist's Cessna should be under just as much criticism as Taylor Swift's private jet.
Recreational aviators have had the FAA wrapped around their fingers for decades, and have prevented the removal of TEL from avgas for decades because it would "ruin" their hobby by potentially making the fuel slightly more expensive, potentially having slightly reduced performance with some older engines, and most importantly because it doesn't "smell as good."
Is the smell good really a point of contention for prop plane enthusiasts? They like the smell of leaded gas?
I'll be real, I prefer the smell of big plane jet exhaust. depending on the model it can smell like banana bread. smaller planes just smell like getting hosed down with like turpentine and car exhaust
I have unfortunately had to talk to boomers here who are salty about other airports phasing it out for safety and the EPA finally recognizing 100LL as toxic. They'll just grab onto any reason they can find to stan for the Oil & Gas industry.
I've harped on baby bush blanes so much for being lead-schnuffers so much over the years I figured it was the big boy birds turn for some gentle ribbing
Comfy 
The plot twist is that chemtrail conspiracies are actually spread by big autism who just want more trains
Somebody shut this guy up before he leaks more of our plans.
yeah get those chemical sprayers out of the air and retvrn to train and boat travel treatlerites, it's for your own good 
Cruise boats are also horrifically bad for the environment 🥲
Yesterday, an old man told me that the purpose of chemtrails is to make the atmosphere conductive, which is how wireless technology works.
Yesterday I came across a guy from highschool, now clearly a prey of an evangelist cult, who told me Jesus born again in Korea in 1950
Death to Amerikkka
If there is a Jesus reincarnate he would definitely be from North Korea
He was allegedly killed in the war, but I didn't want to ask too much
I get it, but still: damnit
It's easy to fell for the community feeling and selfhelp; but if he fell for the korean jesus, they know they can do anything with him
Jet fuel exhaust is literally chemtrails. It does exactly what the conspiracy theorists say. It's a slow kill agent 
It's just another example of 'the socialism of the ignorant' seeing real things and inventing elaborate motivations for them instead of just realizing capitalists don't give a fuck.
They're just going to release a meta study that shows more vaccines correlate to more autism and call it done. They'll just say correlation equals causation, ban vaccines, and move on to a world full of dead children
but i love exhoost fume
No Jeremia, car gas bad for helf.
Shut mouth hammock.
shut up hammock
chemtrails create scalar waves in the atmosphere to amplify the 5g signal from cell towers in activating the nanobots from vaccines to make victims believe the earth is "round" and that Joe Rogan is a "dumbass".
Chris Benoit was unraveling this deep conspiracy using the Bowflex Total gym home exercise equipment when he was taken out by parties loyal to Vince McMahon.
The Bass Pro Shops pyramid is an archonic ritual structure
they're not chemtrails they're phlegmtrails
they're forcing you to inhale their boogers while they laugh at you
Cattle gets all kinds of scary vaccines and antibiotics, let's ban meat before the globalists get to you!
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I think exposure to air pollution in vivo (particularly in third trimester) is one of the few definitive connections to autism spectrum? I've talked about this to some chud relatives I have as it's a funny thing to watch them try to contend with. I honestly don't know a ton about it besides some blurbs I've read and double checking that the research exists
I firmly believe that chemtrails contain an agent that makes people believe in conspiracy theories.
I want the haarp weather machine to power on and zap my balls with 10k watts of pure electricity.
Zapping your balls with 10k watts, in this economy? Bourgeois decadence!
I'm willing to settle with 5k then, nice prime number.
5k isn't a prime number
FUCK. Alright 569 I just googled it, it's still 5 and it's got the good sex number in it.
