Nice post on contrails. Unfortunately, contrails are not chemtrails. I cannot accept your logic. I personally have seen the difference between the two. One dissipates quickly.

In an exclusive interview with The Observer, Dr Leonard Reiffel, 73, the physicist who fronted the project in the late Fifties at the US military-backed Armour Research Foundation, revealed America's extraordinary lunar plan.
'It was clear the main aim of the proposed detonation was a PR exercise and a show of one-upmanship. The Air Force wanted a mushroom cloud so large it would be visible on earth,' he said yesterday. 'The US was lagging behind in the space race.'
'The explosion would obviously be best on the dark side of the moon and the theory was that if the bomb exploded on the edge of the moon, the mushroom cloud would be illuminated by the sun.' The bomb would have been at least as large as the one used on Hiroshima at the end of World War II.
'I made it clear at the time there would be a huge cost to science of destroying a pristine lunar environment, but the US Air Force were mainly concerned about how the nuclear explosion would play on earth,' said Reiffel.

Carl Sagan was part of a group working on an Air Force project to examine the effects of detonating a nuclear device on the moon as a cold war demonstration of US military abilities. It was not his idea and there is no evidence that he actually wanted to do it.
Part of the team researching the hypothetical explosion was a young Carl Sagan, who was recruited to study how the mushroom cloud would expand and collapse under the moons lighter gravity. Sagan proposed that a legitimate scientific purpose for the explosion could have been examining the cloud for possible organic material.
Years later, Sagan apparently presented some of the results of his research on the project in an application for an academic fellowship. Reiffel believes that by doing so Sagan breached national security, as the primary secret of the project was its very existence. This breach of security was discussed in a recent biography of the astronomer, but was not detailed in that book.
Other scientific investigations related to the project were carried out by Sagan but we only know the titles of these: "Possible Contribution of Lunar Nuclear Weapons Detonations to the Solution of Some Problems in Planetary Astronomy" and "Radiological Contamination of the Moon by Nuclear Weapons Detonations". This second paper, in particular, dealt with the effects of radioactive fallout on the surface of the Moon, which could have altered Lunar geology research for centuries to come. Of course the military were not at all concerned by this problem.

I'm sure they face brief periods of exposure during transitions to and from these protected environs, but that is a small price to pay to be under the protection of the NATO Aerosolized Defense Grid - which is meant to protect us all from nuclear annihilation, albeit at the expense of our health.

That was sleezy of you. Clearly he meant that normal contrails, like so many I see almost every day, dissipate quickly, while atmospheric spraying of unknown elements, usually under the cover of cloud seeding, leave a persistant trail which expands into cloud cover.

"which is obviously distorted reasoning because even the families of the elites breath the same air as we poor, useless slobs."
You don't actually believe that do you?
Technically yes, it is the same air.... But before that air reaches them it passes through some of the most sophisticated filtering systems available - in both their cars and homes.
