"Chemtrails " . Follow the money

[GregMc]

I thought with comments about finance and a money trail and product sales spread out over a few topic headings it might be worthwhile to unify them under one easily identifiable heading:



Many chemtrail believers who avidly buy conspiracy DVDs and stickers, T-shirts and donate to conspiracy websites etc often accuse debunkers of being paid by some mysterious govt agency .
They suggest to "follow the money" to get to the bottom of the conspiracy.
What they don't seem to consider is to think about who would benefit financially from flogging a conspiracy hoax to the public.
It would take a vast and unwieldy bureaucracy to orchestrate thousands of pilots, aircraft designers and builders, air traffic controllers, airport staff, aviation engineers, re-fuellers and fuel suppliers. maintenance personnel etc to carry out a vast conspiracy, all aware that they would be poisoning themselves and their own families and friends, and yet NO credible whistle blowers of these alleged conspiracies have ever come forwards.
Remember we are not just talking about unmarked white planes here. Youtube chemtrail adherents such as Peekay22 and LasVegasskywatch have positively identified commercial passenger planes such as QF64 and numerous others as being involved in what they claim as "chemtrail spraying".

What DOESN'T take a vast secretive bureaucracy to organise is a HOAX so that unethical and cynical individuals can benefit from paranoia, ignorance of aviation and gullibility in the general public and make money out of them through deliberately spreading fear.
Convince enough members of the public that water condensation in the sky is a threat, then SELL them cures for ....water.

This is exactly the path taken by previously unemployed and opportunistic journalists, drop outs, radio shock jocks and even disgraced former doctors who's malpractice had killed patients.

It appears these sorts of people have perpetuated the Chemtrail hoax in order to benefit from donations, radio appearances, speaking engagements and advertising placements, and to directly sell products. Who could be unaware of the principle of selling snake oil, or the philosophy of P.T. Barnum : "there's a sucker born every minute"

With that in mind, here begins an accumulation of information about the real "chemtrail money trail":

Don Croft has been marketing his expensive orgone nonsense to combat chemtrails for some time. Here is one of his several products, at outrageous prices.

http://www.chemtrailsproject.com/

For $49 you can get a container and instructions to sample rainwater, then send it away for "testing" to see what it contains, The results are plotted on a map of the USA to show what the chemtrail spraying produces, and its location.
No actual documents are shown onsite, however, since I asked 2 months agao about steps to be taken to mitigate the effects of Aeolian dust, the "results" have changed to show NO Aluminium and some Strontium.
You can also become a "sponsor" of the project on their website.
There are also links to The Truth Denied site, run by Roxy Lopez, where you can donate for the cause, and her "Chemtrails Kill" FB page.

Here is the call for $24,000 to produce the propaganda film:

WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE THEY SPRAYING! is scheduled for release in October, provided we can obtain $24,000 to complete the job. That goal can be met if only 120 Zone Dwellers become Funding Angels by donating $200 each. That sounds like a realistic goal to us. I hope you agree.

I think Will Thomas is the granddaddy of pimping chemtrails for money. Multiple references to him requesting money, or not delivering when given money.

Yes, the William Thomas you speak of said this in 2000:

"Yet, photographs and videotapes deluging my office clearly
show unmarked, all-white KC-135 tanker aircraft laying thick
billowing 'trails over American communities at altitudes below
9,000 feet - where short-lived, ice-crystal "con"densation
trails cannot form."
http://joeelforteana.tripod.com/inde...Email/coa3.htm

The photos which had deluged Thomas never emerged.

He lied.

Two instances when funds were collected for "research" include the "Chemtrail Research Fund" by David Peterson and Clifford Carnicom, "Blue Skies International", by Toni Thayer, and one by Lori Kramer of chemtrailtrackingusa. None of these ever produced anything substantive, and while Carnicom's fund promised a public accounting of the $6,000 that was said to have been collected, no such accounting was ever presented. here was some discussion:

Not to mention also his promising lab reports, that he needed to be reimbursed for before releasing..that never existed in the first place

Can any of these charlatans be prosecuted for fraud in bilking their followers and promoting fear among the unknowing public?

[GregMc]

"Can any of these charlatans be prosecuted for fraud in bilking their followers and promoting fear among the unknowing public?"

I wonder too. In a way it's a bit like advertising perfume or any other vanity product. Make people scared of something like wrinkles or being smelly.. things folks have just accepted as inevitable for millenia but now we give scary sounding names for and suddenly everyone needs to buy a cure or they'll be a social outcast.
But in the case of Chemtrails it's outright misrepresentation and deception, saying something like contrails are something that they are not, then making money from the misrepresentation and resultant fear.
It would be interesting to speak to a lawyer.... (and come away with wallet intact.)


It's also interesting that there seems to be few former believers that are as vocal after realising it is a scam as they were before. Steve and Janet being notable.
So perhaps theres an element of embarrassment when folks figure it out and they tend not to publicly broadcast "I was scared of water for .... years, and I'm going to sue those responsible!"
For those of us who tend to contact believers and send them info , they tend to just say thanks and go hide in a corner feeling a bit silly afterwards.
It takes some gumption to admit being wrong and then set about correcting the possibility of it happening to others.

[Mick]

Can any of these charlatans be prosecuted for fraud in bilking their followers and promoting fear among the unknowing public?

Unfortunately with the law at the moment you can pretty much say anything, and sell anything, so long as you don't actually directly claim the thing you are selling will cure anything.

Charlatans will always be with us to some degree. (side note: the book "Charlatan" is about a quack who implanted goat testicles into people, and made lots of money doing it. )

Since MJM is not selling a cure, there's really nothing you can do about it from a legal point of view. It's basically freedom of speech. Even lies can be protected speech if they can be characterized as opinions or beliefs, even when they are demonstrably wrong. It's not a crime to be wrong.

[Steve]

It's just so frustrating to me that as a building manager of apartment buildings I can be personally sued by a handicap person for the slightest infraction in building code or discrimination because I advertise a unit is walking distance from a shopping area instead of just saying it's nearby to shopping. But MJM can pronounce to the world in a profit making film that Monsanto or Bill Gates is behind a global spraying eugenics agenda and get away Scott free without any litigation. His claims affect the lives of thousands of people causing fear and anger directed at their own government and furthering a hatred directed at Government organizations and innocent corporations. Why is it just up to us a small group of people just exposing these scams on the Internet.? Where is the justice in this from the people who's job it is to look out for it when it really happens on such a large scale?

[Mick]

You can't sue MJM, because there's no law against what he is doing.

I think it's because there are other things the legislature would be forced to confront if they went down that road. the mental torture some people go through with religion, the lies of homeopathy, and "dietary supplements". If MJM can be prosecuted for instilling fear in people by spreading falsehood, then should also catholic priests be prosecuted the same way?

It's a game of inches.

[Pogopoint99]

You can't sue MJM, because there's no law against what he is doing... then should also catholic priests be prosecuted the same way?

I've asked myself that question... the answer has always come up as a yes. I'm not saying that such regulations could ever be passed or enforced, but there seems to be something reasonable about passing laws protecting people from products that are not proven to work. That includes homeopathy and religion.

It seems the law is geared to protect people from harmful products rather than products that don't work as promised. But then again, aren't there laws against false advertising?

[Jay Reynolds]

Here is guidance by the US agency responsible for regulation of deceptive advertising:
http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/policystmt/ad-decept.htm

[Pogopoint99]

Regulations seem to be limited to "the purchase of food, drugs, devices or cosmetics". None of which affect MJM in his promotion of chemtrails.

Here's the thing that bugs me, and it's a continuation of Steve's gripe from the post above. MJM can spew without requiring evidence, but if you call him a liar you risk slandering or libelling him.

[Mick]

Oh you can call him on it, so long as you stick to the facts.

The problem of libel might arise if you make the claim he is deliberately misleading people in order to make money. And even then, you can certainly express your opinion of him. (that link has some rather amusing examples, like "chicken butt")

Anything you say that is true, or substantially true, is generally protected speech.

[Pogopoint99]

Right. So when he says "The people who are behind this are looking at control and depopulation is part of that agenda. We know that." http://aircrap.org/michael-j-murphy-...ildren/331178/

How is he allowed to get away with that. It sounds to me like he is making a statement of fact, not merely expressing and opinion. BTW thanks for the link, good read.

[Jay Reynolds]

There may be some protection against libel for certain classes of people who label themselves "activists", they may approach the status of "public persons". Then there was the Kevorkian libel case which went to the supreme court:

"We find that, as to the issue of assisted suicide, (Kevorkian) is virtually libel proof," the appeals court said, adding that the statements were "protected opinion."

http://www.deseretnews.com/article/8...ibel-suit.html

One wonders if chemtrail promoters could be considered "virtually libel-proof" as well.
We have enough facts, already, but he needs to be pressed some day for a reaction about the threats and mental anguish he is causing, and whether he feels any personal responsibility about that.

[Spongebob]

Better to thoroughly debunk everything he has ever said and everything he stands for - certainly his 'mocumentary' ?

[Mick]

You are allowed to be wrong. If someone said the world was ending tomorrow, would you feel like you could sue them for emotional distress?

Since his speech is not directly selling anything, and is does not contain claimed facts about you, then you have no real recourse under the law.

There IS the possibility to sue someone for emotional distress, but you'd need to demonstrate that emotional distress actually occurred due to false statements, and that MJM's actions were malicious, or negligent. The US law sets a pretty high bar here, and rightly so.

[Danny55]

Just wondering if the most powerful group in the country would be interested in him?? Yes, I am talking about the taxman :-)

When I did air ambulance flights, often overnight hours, I would listen to Coast to Coast AM on the ADF radio. I remember hearing a product called Sea Silver, which was just the colloidal silver stuff. But they went a bit too far in their claims, and got the smackdown

http://www.quackwatch.org/01Quackery...seasilver.html

Its legal to sell snake oil, you can just not sell snake oil and make specific medical claims. Its how shysters like Len Horowitz can peddle products that are supposedly infused with the 528 hz healing frequency of love, which is just meaningless claptrap

Convince enough members of the public that water condensation in the sky is a threat, then SELL them cures for ....water.

And what a wonderful array of "cures" there are to choose from...

Chemtrailers often like to suggest ways for people to detoxify their bodies of all those nasty chemicals. There are those relatively inexpensive products like crystals, epoxy cones and clay supplements infused with aluminium oxide, and then there are the more expensive ion detox foot baths.

In North America many of these ionic foot baths are being sold by holistic/alternative medicine outfits. Prices can be as high as $2000. The good news is that the Guangzhou O.U Health Electronic Technology Co. of China will sell you a remarkably similar looking product for as little as $66.32...






...as will the Guangzhou Huakai Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.






So, either these are cheap knock-offs, or somebody is making a killing.

They have a section where they offer free chemtrail (stock) videos (http://tinyurl.com/7nh3g2o), but it's free if you meet their "open licensing terms" (http://tinyurl.com/73pc6v8) which reads, "We do not allow our media to be used by those who distribute disinformation including … those who attempt to debunk or discredit chemtrails …"

This is priceless

Since it is not free if you "attempt to debunk" I guess it's no problem at all if you DO debunk??
