    Conspiracy theories will always fire up the imaginations of even the most reasonable of us. It’s fascinating to imagine a bunch of people in a dark room, controlling actions from their chairs and encouraging events that change the course of the world, with no one truly being the wiser. Now, most conspiracy theories are flimsy nonsense that are obviously full of holes and not true at all. However, some conspiracy theories have more truth than most people would ever imagine. In some situations, there really was a group of people in a dark room conspiring to massively pull the wool over the eyes of others, in order to change the course of the world.

    You missed one that effected me and my baby boomer hippie friends. The U.S. government flew over marijuana crops in Mexico in the early- and mid-'70s, spraying them with an exfoliant called paraquat. As a result, crops were harvested immediately, and sold to unsuspecting hippies, causing severe damage to the lungs, bronchial tubes and throats of smokers. It was VERY painful. When the word got out, a disc jockey on the Los Angeles radio station KMET (now defunct) became known as "Paraquat" Kelly.

    ..... Just got to the alcohol thing. Two things:
    1. So that's why people believe moonshine makes you go blind.
    2. Over the last couple of years there have been a couple of instances where the illegal marijuana Market has found incredibly dangerous chemicals in their drugs. Obviously marijuana by itself isn't dangerous. I had always wondered why vendors would intentionally damage their products. Now I'm starting to see where it might have come from.

      As to your number 1.
      When you distill down spirits you do get some wood alcohol at the very beginning. This is why that first pint or so is discarded. After that it's fine to drink.

    • @puncheex2
      @puncheex2 6 років тому +1

      Uhhh, no. Moonshine makes you go blind (when it does) by having wood alcohol (methanol) in it when what is expected is pure grain alcohol (ethanol). It generally comes from contamination of the mash with wood stems and actual wood shavings.

    • @lexalford358
      @lexalford358 5 років тому

      What really caused it in large amounts was when distillers started using car radiator in the production because it was cheap and easy and that made the antifreeze into the drink common ground the prohibition era.

    • @andrewmcgregor6507
      @andrewmcgregor6507 5 років тому +2

      Some of the alcohol produced during prohibition did indeed, cause blindness and other maladies. This was mainly due to unqualified, inexperienced people trying to make a quick buck or simply trying to produce cheap liquor. This has been going on since before prohibition and still goes on today. The vast majority of bootleg liquor was imported from places like Canada, and the UK. , and therefore was potable and unadulterated. There are instances of liquor being watered down or having colouration added but, for the most part, it was largely the original product. It behooves the producers of a valuable product to make certain that their product doesn't harm its consumers.

      There`re two Lac Megantics, firstly the lake with this name, and one of the surrounding towns with the same name. Neither has ever been terrorism. A lake is only a body of water, and the town of Lac/Lake Megantic also certainly isn`t terrorism. If you`re meaning to infer the relatively recent railway accident, then sure, it surely was terrifying, but it most surely wasn`t due to an act of terrorism, which`d need to be intentional. It was a nasty accident and only an accident, which isn`t what terrorism is.

As the air bled off the brake cylinders, the train rolled down the hill gathering speed until it hit the curve WAY too fast and derailed. Fault was placed on the engineer, who failed to set the hand brakes, and the RR rep who shut down the engine.

Chemtrails stretch all the way across the sky. Nature doesn't do straight lines or tic-tac-toe squares, and I've seen both above the Adirondacks and the Green Mountains. I've watched them expand and mix in with the regular clouds over the course of a day, sometimes as short as a few hours.

    Sometime after I moved to SF in 1994, the Chronicle ran a curiously bland article about the death of an old man in a nursing home, listing his death as a serratia bacteria infection. The article then went on to note that the bacteria is not native to the Bay Area and was introduced by US germ warfare tests in the early 1950s and, seemingly of more concern, is still prone to killing people whenever it rises to large enough levels in the local environment. In the last couple of years the same US tests were featured in one of the many quizzes the Chronicle now runs instead of news, with the headline “What Weird Thing Happened In San Francisco In 1952?” as if our government testing chemical warfare on its own people is some kind of joke to laugh at.

    I studied Chem-trails over the summer in the NW of Britain. The one most common thing I noticed was that every time a cloud formation hit the Chem-trail the cloud would disappear and the temperature would suddenly rise and then after a while the cloud would reform once it had past the area of the Chem-trail. Now the only solution that I could theorise for this is that it is an attempt at creating a super cooling affect in the coming winter months in hope that it would somehow help in reforming the polar ice caps. But it’s just a theory.

      Cue anything that the government wouldn't want to be public knowledge being called a conspiracy theory from that point until today. Also, the term doesn't appear in Classical Literature at all, which is kind of weird. Not before about 1870 at the earliest, AFAIK.

    When you look up into the sky and see two planes, one with a trail that disperses and one that lingers and spreads out into the sky and turns into a cloud(yes, if you look at them long enough they turn into long wispy clouds) you start to see some validity in chemtrails.

    • @mattdinero5870
      @mattdinero5870 6 років тому +6

      No actually you don't see validity in chemtrails, the planes are flying at different altitudes and the air doesn't have the same humidity level at each altitude, it's the humidity that causes the contrails to linger and sometimes spread out. In dry air they dissipate more quickly, another thing you may not believe in is that air is thinner at higher altitudes which can also cause vapors to dissipate faster. There is no validity to chemtrails which is why NOBODY has ever answered my question about why politicians would poison the air with mind controlling chemicals when they themselves breathe that air.

      The contrail longevity is based on humidity, altitude, and wind at the various altitudes. Do some real research for a change.

      Yes, Iraq did have WMDs. Everyone knows that, and of course chemical weapons are WMDs, everyone knows that too. Only brainwashed useful idiots like you don't know this.

    Honestly listening to him talk about the chemtrails and the governments actually testing some things out to counter the current climate problems my brain just went "this is what caused snowpiercer."

    One off on this one. William Seward was secretary of state. Edwin Stanton was secretary of war. Seward was attacked in his bed where he was recovering from a broken jaw after being thrown from a horse but survived though his son suffered a concusion from being bashed over the head with a pistol.
