A few months ago Spielberg launched Taken, a 20 hour TV series that deals with the life of several generations of alien abductees who are taken again and again, experimented on, engineered and inseminated. Last month it was aired here daily and though I didn’t really get to follow it all I did saw most of the series and was shocked when one chapter mentioned not just chemtrails, but that they've been causing disease in America for some years now.

The series is loaded with special effects and doesn't waste any time pondering over the authenticity of the UFO phenomena but rather jumps right in and takes from just about every aspect of the UFO culture, even those most extreme of claims like government agents who do not stop at murdering witnesses and own in order to keep the secret. In the final chapter abductees from all over the country gather in one remote house to protect the super human/alien little girl from the government and special units are sent to deal with them, Branch Davidians style. The Aliens are more elongated but fairly gray looking. The alien crafts are spectacular, but classic flying saucer shaped. Those aliens do abduct many people and they've been doing it for years. They do put implants in them, people are probed and operated on and they do create hydrides. The government has known this all along and has a special department that deals with all alien matters.

Chemtrails are mentioned in a scene were a support group for abductees is meeting to discuss their experiences. This one guy will soon take out a gun and hold the group hostage demanding that the government tell the people the truth about aliens. He then shoots one of the abductees in the gut, but luckily enough, a little girl, who turns out to be the shoot man's daughter and who is the fruit of the alien's experiments with humans, heals his wound and saves his life. Yes, there's some fairly crazy stuff going on in this series. Anyways, the shooter, just before pulling out the gun, talks about what he thinks is going on with the aliens, and what does he chooses to talk about: Chemtrail, only that he calls them contrails. It's all a big conspiracy, it's them that are spraying us, and so on, I can't really remember what reason he gave first and they haven't shown the series again yet, but I do remember what he said next: that since they started spraying those contrails over America, there have been three times more cases of respiratory disease. That I find to be a strong and condemning statement. Mr. Spielberg clearly recognizes the significance of the aerosol operations if he chooses to mention the subject, for just about the first time on major TV, and does it on a much expected prime-time production, a series that deals with subjects that so many people find important.
That, I think, was the only time chemtrails were mentioned, and not much said then. Obviously we mustn't now assume that chemtrails have much to do with alien. Yet, I find these few lines to be a huge development. Chemtrails are now an official "conspiracy theory". They've been officially outed and by someone who is more likely to have access to some good information then most people and who is clearly worried.

Should we give Taken a more thorough look? Now that Spielberg got our attention, what else is he trying to tell us? Well, Spielberg was always a UFO/alien freak, now he's one of the most powerful men in the US, definitely in Hollywood. He must have wanted to find out the truth and he had both the money and means. If he's trying to tell us something about aliens, he's doing it in Taken. We just have to look through the thick layer of the obliged disinformation and plot to find some solid information. Maybe it's all disinformation. Maybe that’s what he's trying to tell us.

First of all the character that was holding the gun on the hostages and ranting about the conspiracies was portrayed as a very disturbed and agitated individual... he wasn't someone that would receive much smypathy from the viewing audience... since after all he was holding the abductees hostage at gun point.

If the viewing public was even half alert as to what the gunman was talking about... just his demeanor at the time would convince anyone he was talking crazy stuff...Kind of like how prolife activists are portrayed. This would hurt the credibility of the gunman I would think.
