Sound familiar, or are you not as scientifically minded as you think you are?

There is plenty of evidence, enough for any rational individual to consider the phenomenon proven, or at least to go outside and investigate.

You said: "My testimony is evidence. The testimony of probably hundreds of thousands of other people is evidence. The massive amounts of documentation thrown up on the web, which most of you folks try to ignore is evidence."
If this is true, then the testimony of those who see only contrails is equally valid. The massive amounts of documentation on the web saying that there is no conspiracy, which all believers try to ignore, is evidence of no conspiracy.

By reading only the last few pages of this thread New members will know who they can trust and who is here to sidetrack them and stop them from making any important discoveries or preventing them from sharing the discoveries they themselves have made. This is a good thing.
The Air Force has stated in "Air Force 2025" that their goal is to develop virtual and augmented reality mind control.

It has become far too obvious; the "Debunkers" on this thread are clearly Feigning ignorance of the vast amounts of relevant literature and research that is available.
Notice how their ad hoc reactionary debunking never contains any of the qualities one might expect from a properly formed rebuttal - no counterpoints, no citations, and never, will you ever find a point by point refutation by any of these 'debunkers' - for them, blatant mischaracterization, ad hominem attacks, and defamatory misquoting will often suffice to complete their primary objective.
Their feigned terminological inexactitude, ignorance and lack of capability to exert any intellectual rigour - combined with their shear force of numbers and unnecessary quantity of unsupported posts is often enough to overwhelm and bury even the most pertinent data and most important contributions relevant to the topic.
I believe this to be their primary objective.
