A letter from "Sceptic": quote:
Mark, I feel that I must comment on some recent postings which have been made to your chemtrail board. Between them, Mark Sky and nsasucks have been most offensive, the one suggesting suicide in a poem, the other praying for 'plane crashes, and hoping that those who disagree with him can develop cancer. Delightful sentiments on a board that ostensibly exists to research a phenomenon which is allegedly damaging mankind. It also reflects badly on your selective bans. One thing that I never did was to wish harm on any contributor. Ironically, Mark Sky has included references to Free Speech in his poems; I'm glad to see that I have his tacit support for my questioning demeanour. I would also like to point out that I have made official complaint to the NTSB regarding the Hal Turner RFP. This initiative is potentially of great danger to the travelling public, as well as to those who will be below the suggested interception. The reasons for the unfeasability of the idea have been very well articulated by TopGun, but I still felt that it was entirely appropriate to inform transport safety organisations about the possible threat; if the proposed mission is legal, then fine. If not, then I feel that it should be prevented. I enjoyed reading your report, which was a long-overdue analysis of aircraft traffic patterns (I'm not blaming you for tardiness; I'm sinply making the point that the chemtrail proponents should have performed this before). I also notice that a rather deafening silence greeted your work. Could this be because your work flatly refuted an enormous amount of the claims that have been made by the chemmies? I would really have appreciated if you had taken the opportunity to reward yourself with the fruits of diligent research: your own analysis. It appears to me that the following can be read into your observations: The only trails which could not be directly related to passenger traffic were at an altitude which debars targeted spraying. Passenger jets were not responsible for any persistent trails. All trail patterns were accounted for by normal and accountable traffic. Regards, Sceptic
Sceptic, yes, I don't agree with suggesting suicide or praying for death. The latter is not a prayer, but rather dabbling in the black arts.
Regarding your comment "The only trails which could not be directly related to passenger traffic were at an altitude which debars targeted spraying", well it depends on what is meant by targeted. If the targeting is for the humans directly below the spraying perhaps, but if targeting is more general, I don't believe you would be correct. Regarding the comment "All trail patterns were accounted for by normal and accountable traffic.", this is definately not correct.

No, I think it's a smart move for sceptic to insist upon censorship. You have to remove the people who hit close to home, no matter what. It's not the poems the "debunker" wants removed, it's the intel that no one else is providing. That's the real threat to them.And...if I am not mistaken...it was the rant section, known as freeform. Poetry and self expression. THey must really hate that. Self-expression is a no-no in the New WOrld Odor. The unspoken reality is this...even tho the agent can't post here, HE IS READING EVERY DANG WORD, NOW AIN'T HE? These moves are obvious and the hits and implications are being emailed by the debunkers to all board moderators, on all the same times. Yawn. THis is so obvious. In fact...it's boring.

I hate to sound like I'm kissing up....but Thermit, I share most of your same feelings on the issue. I don't agree with NSAsucks or Mark Sky's assaults on TopGunn, but at the same time, I don't see why Mr Dirk Digler had to be deleted. It seems his comments were far less sarcastic and caustic as some of the one's I've made and NSAsucks has made. Maybe I missed something, but I didn't understand his deletion.But as for the evidence of chemtrails, I don't know how any one can be living in any fairly large population area in the US and not be seeing these. If one were to just make the argument that these are normal contrails even, then they'd have to admit the fact that these "normal" contrails are turning a perfectly clear sky into complete overcast. This fact is undeniable and completely proven by simple observation. How there can be skeptics at this point when the evidence is so blatently there overhead, is beyond me.

This move is so well-known and repeated.Seen it all the time on all the truth boards: 2nd amendment, NWO, CTs, whatever. T The debunkers get removed - cuz hey it's not a debate for those who "know", it's about sharing information. Then comes the letters. Ad nauseoum. They flatter the moderator. Same letter. Same approach. Flattery, flattery, but then the slam - the reason'd'etre of the the missive. To censor those who are spilling the truth. It's never the poems, it's the intel that is leaking that has them upset. I've seen this letter - or a near version of it- over and over again for last two years, EVERYWHERE. Yawn.

HE IS READING EVERY DANG WORD, NOW AIN'T HE?Certainly in general these forums are studied very carefully. I actually see quotes from this board on the debunker boards, that I missed the first time around. http://www.boards2go.com/boards/board.cgi?&user=Chickiedeb I don't see why Mr Dirk Digler had to be deleted.
Cy, Dirk started out pretty well, I was and am still appreciative for the plane IDs that he made, however this board is, as stated on the registration page, for those that are concerned about the reality of Chemtrails (whatever their purpose) and Dirk's posts pretty much deteriorated into sarcastic drivel. Reference his ridiculous "Bill Gates is in on it" post that made no sense. That was plenty for me. As I've stated before, I would prefer it if everybody on both sides of the issue could discuss these things intelligently and calmly, however as you know, we've tried this and it winds up being a war zone which I have no interest in.

Yeah the “war zone” stuff gets pretty old in short order...I agree there too. I think many times a poster’s comments will degrade when being attacked though. I notice this tendency in myself. I think what happened was that Dirk was being so repeatedly attacked for his views and being accused of being an agent for the dark side, that after awhile he said "the hell with it, these people aren't interested in intelligent or scientific conversation”...and he made a sarcastic comment. I posted my Church lady pics out of much of the same frustration.It's rare to find a skeptic who will talk very long without resorting to insults...in fact I think this is rare on both sides of the issue. It is these kinds of people I'm most interested in making my case to though....because they will normally listen to reason. Up to a point, after too many insults, most people will start firing back....Even the most reasonable among us get tired of turning the other cheek after awhile.

NSA I'm not sure I saw Dirk and TopGun draw "first blood". In fact, it was my impression that they went overboard in an effort to try and be polite under fire. This is not typical, and you're right to some extent; If you remember when Thermit first started his board, it was overrun by skeptics. Most of those guys.....like "Elvis Lives" loved the insult game. I know Mark (Thermit) tried every option available not to delete them....because he didn't want a board in which people were afraid to speak their minds for fear of censorship...but the flaming contests and debunking became so overwhelming, that I completely agreed when Mark eventually took the stance he did..and I applaud him for it. Deletions were unavoidable because some people just insist on being jerks and there is nothing else you can do about it. I'm sure there are those who think of me as a jerk, of course.....but I would specaulate it's simply for the point of view I hold....not for any intentional disrespect I show for others.But Top Gun and Dirk, are a different breed of skeptic who present a credible challenge to the chemtrail argument, so I enjoyed talking to Dirk.....even if he is named after a porn star I'm of the view point that there is absolutely nothing wrong with being a skeptic, in fact, I find this to be a very healthy attitude. We must all discern between truth and lies...and being skeptic is simply a natural part of survival. It is for this reason, I enjoy winning a skeptic (with an open mind) over to my point of view by presenting a case of logic and evidence. It seemed to me that Dirk was at least open to this level of rational thought, and that is rare.

Well...the light bulge just came on... FOR MARK SKY: I thought about septic's letter, when it must have been written and back engineered the time line by two dayz and looked at that running poem (ya know, free speech and all that lie) and guess what I saw in the poem thread, timing wise?
The stuff on Antartica, the NSA's mostly closely guarded secrets. Coincidence? So, I just got off the hell phone with my friend, and I asked him to take the info and write up a ten-pager on that. He said yes and we'uz goin' to send it to every conspiracy board, indi-news site, you name-it-forum-chat-board we can find. See, draw first blood and you just get more truth out. Dang...dat not be what we done intended. A Ding dang doo

CQ: Different breed or not,they are still agency. And yes, I always let them fire first - I have NEVER drawn first blood.I let the enemy strike first. I confirms things for me. That doesn't mean that everyone who takes me to task is the enemy, but I make lists too, just like they do. I know and have a nose for the moles...long EXPERIENCE...then...they strike. Then...let loose the dogs of war...and smite them hip and thigh.

I am not aware of alot of what Thermit was referring to in his post,but I will add that it seems to me we all know too many words in our vocabulary and thats whats getting us in trouble these days.The only thing is so many of the words we use are words created in the Shadowland context. We all have our days of being way down whether from depression of the chemtrails or life itself, but it would seem to me that poetry in motion was Marks way of getting whats inside out.You mean there are no second chances here? One bad word and you're gone? While I don't condone suicide(my brother died that way)or wishing people dead or riddled with cancer,I think I would have done one of two things.Spoken to the offending people personally and PRIVATELY to see what was going on in their lives.Its really none of our business if nsasucks and Mark Sky are getting the boot.Thats between Chemtrail Central and the two offenders. I would have wanted to have known why they wrote what they did,because in actual fact what if they were the ones getting ready to kill themselves and they were acting out? I see alot of depression among those who are truly aware of the status of this world and I would be watching carefully the posts for those lost souls crying out for help. I for one enjoyed the poetry and music and the fact we are able to speak our minds and unload our hearts. I understand your postion Thermit being the moderator and all, I just think this is a bit over blown, but then I really am not privy to what really went down,so I best shut my mouth.Sorry Mark and nsasucks.

I missed this in reading septic's missive, but I see that the agency boyz are even letter writing to the NTSB to censor Hal. I guess that makes septic the good guy, saving us from some serious mishap - I guess all those thousands of illegally flying and spraying planes are a danger, but one little, teeny-tiny plane IS. Does ANYOne SEE THIS FOR WHAT IT IS?????? C'mon! You can't belive - honestly - that this is some guy who is just "interested" in CTs for real, other then to shut down any research and work in exposing this nightmare. Wake it on up, people! A Ding dang doo! (My best elvis impression)

RTW: nothing is going down.

See A CHEMTRAIL PRAYER for full details. Your mileage may vary. See dealer for details. Thanky.

Speaking of banished, I got a nice letter from Dirk. Yes, Dirk, I guess you can call me hypocritical, although the purpose of the board is clearly stated before registering. I catch heat no matter what I do, so it's okay, though. Like you said, no hard feelings.  Letter from Dirk: quote:
hello Mark, do you remember me? its your old friend Dirk Digler. i was checking out your message board today and saw some comments regarding me and why i was banned. i was quite surprised when i got the boot. i think you missed my attempt at light-hearted humor regarding the "bill gates" post. i still flight instruct part-time so i use computer flight sims to help teach. i saw that microsoft is releasing a new MS Flight Sim in the fall. one of the preview pics that was shown depicted a 747 with "trails". of course they are suppose to be contrails but they actually looked like a lot of the chemtrail photos that i have seen on various sites. i guess i should have explained my "humor" a little better. anyway, i do miss the conversation and debate with some on your board. although i think it is highly hipocritical of you to ban me for 1 joke when others on your board regularly post highly slanderous and venomous comments. at least i tried to add something constructive to the conversation and never attacked anyone unless i was first attacked. even then i think i showed constraint. i think you may want to ask yourself why you hold the two parties up to different standards. i have seen it asked on your board why do I and other "sceptics" even bother posting. well its very simple. i came to this board with an open mind. i had read somewhere on the internet about chemtrails. i was interested and researched the subject because it involves my profession. after looking into it for several months i can honestly say that i do not believe that there is anything sinister going on. in fact, i have come to the conclusion that this whole thing was started by a few hucksters in order to make a buck. it happens all the time. these slime balls are trying to make money by trying to create a sense of hysteria. they use an ignorant public. by ignorant i do not mean stupid, i just mean someone without in depth knowledge of a certain subject. i was amazed at some of the posts on your board and the complete lack of understanding of basic aviation and weather principles ... this is not their fault, they are not trained in these areas. however, i would expect them to acknowledge their error when it is pointed out to them. anyway, i cant stand to see these snake-oil salesmen get away with taking advantage of innocent people. by the way, i do not think that you are "in on it". you were always generally accomodating to me. (at least until you banned me!!! jusk joking) good luck in your quest for the truth. hopefully you will find what you are looking for eventually. i do not hold any ill-feelings towards you so if you have any commercial aviation questions feel free to email me thanks Dirk

Sounds like she took a page from the half-wit's Manual of Meaningless Threats, "How to Scare Whistleblowers, Chemtrail Activists and other Good Guys" They're just a couple of frustrated male-bashers, legends in their own minds. Thanks for flushing them into the Cybervoid of CON-trail ARTISTS Thermit, but why even bring them back at all? Are we back into the era of having to debunk the CON-Artists AGAIN? P.S. Isn't if fun to be the moderator?  P.P.S. Dirk sounds alot like JR...though I haven't read many of his posts, maybe he is a she too, another feminazi like the half-wit? (not that I'm a big fan of Limbaugh, though he makes more sense than he used to...its a catchy phrase, feminazi, reminds me of my own ex-sister).

The first thing I'd like to comment on is how nice this it is to visit this site and not have to deal with any pop-up ads. I like the chemtrail banner above, it really rocks! Thanks Thermit  I've always believed in free speach, without censorship, unless the said free speach is detrimental to another party. Self-expression is healthy for the soul, and helps us grow while keeping the ulcers and heart-attacks at bay. I don't find mark sky's or nsasucks words offensive. I see a lot of pain, a lot of "mambee pambee" ~as some would say~ sensitivity, certainly intelligence, couragehave to say what they feel in this pent-up lie-ridden society we live in, and the truth of their words touches a lot of people. There's a lot of people here that have all of the above attributes. To ban this self-expression would be wrong, but then again, what about the world we see right now before us is right? Sceptic, you go on being a sceptic, telling yourself the haze-filled sky is normal, that even if it's normal contrails, it's still okay, after all, people have to fly. So nice of you to offer your concern over mark and nsa. Tell all your friends at Chemtrails Are A Hoax AKA Putdowns R Us "hello". Not one shred of evidence there that proves their hoax claim, just a lot of sorry people trying to make themselves feel better by ripping good people to shreds. So sad. Dirk, when you "looked into it for several months" did that included spending hours and hours monitoring the sky above you and taking meticulous notes, and looking for correlating patterns? How did you "research" the subject on the internet? And with only this you came to the conclusion that..."I do not believe that there is anything sinister going on." Hazy white is the color the sky is supposed to be? Really now: "this whole thing was started by a couple of hucksters in order to make a buck", you don't say Digler boy? How interesting. For me this whole thing started when I looked in the sky and saw a scene from your worst nightmare. A huge, skeletal-looking chemtrail that was miles accross, and oozing evil smiled down at me as my stomach took a nose dive. All the "research" in the world is not going to convince more than the feeling I had when I looked at this monstrosity. Perhaps you need to do some real research Marky Mark wanabee. defender, it is kind of fun to be a moderator

Hi Lulu. Very good post! I think most of us were glad to see durkee hit the road and ride off into "the Asian Dust Cloud", or whatever they're calling the "chems" now! Being skeptical about something and yet spending a great deal of time posting at a site you don't "dig", (pardon the Diggler pun there), seems a silly waste of time...like an aethiest posting at a "Bible study site"...Louisiana had a messy chem day very late in the afternoon and I got several pics of planes and trails. The last few days they have been starting "late" here?? Blessings, Joanne

My heart goes out to Thermit, and the manner of at least using Flight Explorer to narrow down the flights, which can be identified, and exclude them from a focus of fear. Each and every poster who sees a contrail and says it is a chemtrail, should try to do like Thermit has done, and post their analysis. Provide pictures of comparison between id'd planes producing trails, vs. the other ones. Flight level is important. Sticking to the subject of identification is the purpose which I understand, is Thermits' cause. Pictures, time of day, weather conditions, temperatures at altitude, and winds aloft, are all components which can add to an understanding which can eliminate or discern a true contrail, from what one supposes to be a "chemtrail". It is a waste of board space, and focus, when the tools Thermit has used, are not being duplicated by sincere investigation. This is only and observation I make, while reading the previous posts. Thermit, your level headed approach, should continue to better define the aircraft you question. I anticipate that others will follow your lead, and remain civil, and produce completely informed facts. Shake it down, and see what comes of it. You know where I come from. I'd love to see FE used, and others to actually visit airshows this season, and talk to the militay crews, with specific questions, and print their experience, without accusations. I believe wx mod exists, to a point. Chemicals which are intended to harm people, I do not believe that. To all, keep learning, and do go fly, if you are able.

I guess that answers my question. We are back to debunking the CONtrail artists.I suppose you're reacting to the 'legal' threats leveled against you by the half-wit, and her con-artist gang. I can see it from your point of view. I really don't think they have a case, I can't believe you do, but it is your website and I'm not judging you for what you're doing. I'd want to protect my website too, without having to consult an attny of your own, (like the half-wit even has one!). I'm beginning to think NSAS is more on track than I thought. Looks like a good cop, bad cop scenario they may be playing with us, portaying us as bad guys for wanting the truth of the purpose behind chemtrails. Thanks for letting me air my views for as long as you have. You have to do what you have to do to keep your peace of mind and whatever it is that made you create this board in the first place.

Defender, no we aren't back to that. I think goldrush's main point is that the next step with applied research is to photograph the sprayplanes (verified with Flight Explorer) and determine what they are. This is exactly what I would like to see done too, since it hasn't really been done yet. I'm convinced these planes are military, which is consistent with my research and if we can pin it down further to tanker planes, well that would be even more evidence. Of course, the hardcore debunkers will dismiss it, as if an annoying gnat, but that is to be expected.
