It's Going to be a Sad Day

For the Right when George Soros shuffles off the mortal coil. I've been trying to speak logic to a wingnut at the Post Star's comment section for the past few weeks. This project jumped the shark when he informed me that:

I'm not so sure this violence came from any of the true protesters. There are many reports swirling about in the media of a group of anarchists funded by George Soros (Media Matters), billionaire and good friend of Obama's, that are responsible for inciting much of the violence at these rallies. Soros is not a nice man and has made it clear in the past he wants to take down the US government and replace it with a socialist democracy. The press needs to do their homework and get on this. Mr. Soros has taken down the government of other countries. Sounds surreal but so very true.

On the actual Ferguson rallies, press was asking questions of the protesters last night and I can't tell you how many times I just shook my head at the misinformation these people are basing their rallies on. Many still believe Brown was shot in the back and the hands up mantra is true. When informed otherwise, some were even angry they hadn't been told the truth. What a shame.

Life's too short to fact check any of that. The "socialist democracy" was a bit of a letdown. Was hoping for an authoritarian leftwing dictatorship. Just happens that CSM had a story on conspiracy types today. 

They’re etched across the sky at high altitude, lines of white, ethereal substance gradually dispersing into wisps and eventually disappearing.

Aviation officials call them “contrails” – condensation trails of frozen water vapor that’s part of the exhaust from aircraft engines, harmless byproducts of flight. Others insist that they’re “chemtrails” – chemical or biological agents sprayed from above for secret or even sinister purposes, such as changing the weather or controlling populations.

Peter Kirby seems to be the godfather of chemtrails. My God, Canada has these crazies, too.

Under the headline “Chemtrails Exposed: A History of the New Manhattan Project,” Peter Kirby of the Centre for Research on Globalization in Quebec recently writes: “Evidence suggests that today’s chemtrail spraying operations consist of airplanes saturating our atmosphere with nano-sized particles influenced by electromagnetic energy for the purpose of weather modification.”

“Motives are plenty. Most notably, significant direct benefits can be gained by playing financial markets which rise and fall with the weather such as the weather derivatives and catastrophe reinsurance markets; not to mention agricultural and energy commodities,” Mr. Kirby writes. “Weather routinely changes the course of human history. It determines what we do every day. It determines the outcomes of wars and influences elections. Control of the weather is God-like power. Money and power junkies want it.”

Or it could just be frozen water vapor, what those of us in reality call ice.
