In between the recent storms, namely around Christmas-time, and then again after New Year's, we here in San Luis Obispo County (and probably much of the West Coast), experienced the somewhat rare atmospheric conditions which cause aircraft contrails to stand out sharply and to persist for great lengths of time. There was, consequently, a spate of letters-to-the-editor in our local newspaper from people who were convinced that some sort of government/military program of secretly spraying chemicals into the atmosphere was going on. I just had to respond, and the San Luis Obispo Tribune ran my letter Monday, in a special "Viewpoints" section for letters which exceed the usual 200-words or less. I just wanted to share it with this group (after all, atmospheric phenomena are occasional topics here . . .) Here it is:

Well, the jig is up. A small group of alert citizens in a remote coastal California county has pulled the curtains from over our Federal Chemtrail Program (FCP).

The FCP, which was intended for the good of the country, will now have to be dismantled. You can't imagine the anguish I and the thousands of other well-meaning government employees, who had to labor for so long and in such secrecy, feel over this. Though our only intent was to fight tooth decay by spreading fluoride into the atmosphere from our huge fleet of black-painted, high-flying jet airplanes, and perhaps to run a few, mostly harmless, tests of chemical-biological warfare agents (once again, for the good of the country), the FCP cannot continue once the spotlight is thrown upon it by an alert and alarmed public.

Thanks to readers such as Richard Palmquist, and the truthradio.com website he referenced, the public can no longer be fooled into thinking the chemical trails we left in the sky are almost entirely water vapor. For so long we had people convinced that the reason the trails, on some rare occasions, were so numerous, sharply-defined, and persistent, was simply due to unusual circumstances of relative humidity, temperature, dew point and lack of turbulence at high altitudes. And the fallout continues; now, thanks to truthradio.com, people are also being alerted to the facts that the earth is only 6000 years old, and that "the origin of any specie is out of the bounds for valid science."

I had told my superiors that we should fly our fleet only on cloudy days, but would they listen? "No," they told me "it would be enough to simply disguise them by having them fly the same routes taken by commercial airliners." But that, of course, had its own drawbacks. You can imagine how difficult and expensive it has been to buy the silence of all of the pilots and crews of all those aircraft, who, inevitably, became witness to our scheme.

This vital leg of our noble plan to bring about one-world government has been thwarted, but other programs continue. I cannot, of course, divulge the details, under threat of death, but the truth is out there.
