CHAFF IS NOT A CHEMTRAIL.
Not no way, not no how.
And good Lord, how many gullible folks starred this for Chaff! Chaff is not a chemtrail! Wake up sheeple! You are being misled by those that claim to be "helping" you. THINK!!!

The Idaho Observer reported with considerable skepticism that the General Accounting Office admitted that chemtrails exist but that they are "merely" fiberglass particles coated with aluminum whose health effects are unknown but whose existence is now acknowledged after decades of official denial.
As the article, below, points out, however, there is much more to the story and it is pretty ominous.
Asthma, cardiac disease, possibly a variant of Morgellon´s Disease, changes in the pH and metallic content of the soil around the world, immune system compromise, and a host of other possible effects for this constant and ubiquitous spraying have been noted and studied.....
So the military admit to chaff, their official coverstory! But we're not fooled. They know, we know, but lie straight to our faces, and then people with stripes defend it!
Though military spokespeople insist that chaff is not harmful, the GAO report concluded that health effects are unknown and more studies are needed. Regardless, some members of this family are very sick. On May 23, after a hard rain the day before, they a noticed glittering substance and a pinkish- colored powder substance on the roof of their house. They then noticed the glittering substance on many surfaces, even the dashboard of the family car. Both substances were collected and sent to a lab for analysis. Among the substances found to be in the samples were several that should simply not be there:
6 bacteria, including anthrax and pneumonia
9 chemicals including acetylcholine chloride
26 heavy metals including arsenic, gold, lead,mercury, silver, uranium and zinc
4 molds and fungi
7 viruses
2 cancers
2 vaccines
2 sedatives
Over the last several months, The Iowa Observer has received a significant increase in chemtrail-related calls and letters. Most report a dramatic increase in chemtrail
"spraying" activity in their areas; some are reporting the development of chronic flu-like symptoms, chronic fatigue and body aches that they have never before experienced.

Likewise, human health issues associated with the inhalation or ingestion of chaff fibers are considered to be negligible because the chaff fibers are too large to pass to through the nose or mouth, and because concentrations of suspended chaff are well below known toxic thresholds. There is some evidence to suggest that exposure to airborne chaff could cause dermal irritation; however, it is unlikely that concentrations of airborne chaff at ground level would ever reach the level needed to bring about this effect.
3.6.1. Arm chaff, flare, and Smokey Devil systems only in an approved airspace.
3.6.3. When employing chaff in the U.S. and Canada, refer to CJCSM 3212.02B, Performing Electronic Attack In the U.S. and Canada For Tests, Training, and Exercises, and/or in accordance with published range orders. Outside the U.S. and Canada, refer to host nation rules governing the employment of chaff.

Chaff does not DISABLE radar, it merely "confuses" the radar. For example, planes will eject chaff and flares in the event they are trying to dodge an incoming missile. Some missiles are radar guided, so in the split second that the chaff is deployed the missile may become "confused" due to its radar guidance and detonate on the chaff munition, as opposed to the plane itself. It helps to use google to understand things you are not familiar with, then you would get why it makes perfect sense.
or it could be the phage, myself, skellon and the other educated individuals on this board who do some fact finding on their own are just some mean "debunkers" looking to poop all over your parade of ignorance (not just you demonseed).
It sometimes frustrates me that people are unwilling to take the 2 minutes necessary to do minor "research" like this and that they are willing to spend 8 hours spouting off bullsh# they heard 3rd hand from some other lazy person.

KSLA News 12 had the sample tested at a lab. The results: A high level of barium, 6.8 parts per million, (ppm). That's more than three times the toxic level set by the Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA.

I can't believe this thread has gone on for as long as it has... and in reading the last few pages, I really can't believe that all you Chemtrailers fail to differentiate between what chaff is, and what you think chemtrails are. My God... I'll subscribe to the possibility of chemtrails, but to equate the two is a demonstration of idiocy.
Do you know what chaff is? Seriously? Or how long it's been around and in use? It's not new, trust me...
Military aircraft use chaff - typically aluminum coated filaments - to do two things. One, to confuse enemy radar by creating a blanket, false signature. Two, to disable the lock of radar-guided missiles fired on said aircraft. Every country on Earth with a bona fide airforce - the U.S., the Brits, the Germans, the Russians, the Iranians, the Chinese, the Mexicans - all of them use it. It's a standard countermeasure that in no way, shape or form bares any resemblance at all to these photos you guys keep posting as chemtrails. And the kicker? Chaff has been in use for as long as radar has - which is to say as far back as World War 2.
Do you understand that? Why is this so difficult? Chemtrails may exist, fine. But chaff and flares are not it. This thread was started by one person grossly misinterpreting what a meteorologist said and has devolved to the point where you guys think that very basic military technology that has been in use for 70+ years is suddenly a malevolent pestilence sent by the NWO because you personally don't know anything about it - thusly, it absolutely HAS to be a global genocidal de-population conspiracy! GOOD LORD DO SOME INDEPENDANT RESEARCH!!!!!!
