 It's disappointing how many nostriches are chemtrail-deniers purely based on the fiat education/media conditioning they've received.

C'mon guys...how many times do we have to learn the lesson that everything fiat world has told us is a lie?

Stop firing off takes on a topic you've done little-to-no research on, and start at the top of this playlist 👇

 This rabbit hole is still pending for me, but I'll never stop asking myself, "What else have I been lied to about?" My current list of things I've been lied to about are:
-Money
-Food
-Economics
-Needing daddy government
-Calories in calories out being the key to weight loss
-Sun exposure and needing sunscreen 
-Vaccines
-Probably more things that I've forgot to mention

 I’m a Chem trail denier based on 35 years in the aviation industry.  
 Would love to hear your personal rebuttal of the top 3 videos in that playlist, IMO they summarize the case FOR it happening very well 
 I’ll help with rebuttal, i don’t like red herrings (possibly govt psy ops) distracting from the real issues. 
 Ok I’ll start with the High bypass turbofan video.  This will be a series of short posts on this video, point by point.

1:09 - narrator claims WW2 bombers had water injection, for engine cooling.

WRONG, twice.  No bombers had any water injection system, and water injection was NOT FOR ENGINE COOLING!  Water injection was used on FIGHTER AIRCRAFT to reduce knock at high engine power settings.  It does cool the MANIFOLD INLET CHARGE, not the engine.  The water supply (30-50 gallons) was used very quickly, providing only 5 or 10 minutes of war emergency power.  In a dogfight, 5 minutes with an extra 400 hp can be the difference between life and death.

Water injection was never used on bombers, because all that water is extra weight.  Extra weight is less bombs you can carry, or a lower altitude you can reach.  An extra 5 MINUTES of 15% more power will make no difference whatsoever, against fighter planes trying to shoot you down that are already 200 mph faster, when they are fighting their way to the target and back for many hours, under attack for hours at a time. 
 Rebuttal post 2

At 2:59, narrator correctly describes high bypass turbofans engines, then goes on to say they are less conducive to making contrails.  Based on what?  His feelings?  Yes, the fan exhaust is lower than the core exhaust, which is then surrounded by a doughnut shaped layer of fan bypass air (one of the reasons turbofans are much quieter than turbojets.). The boundary layer between these 2 sources of thrust has less turbulence (and less velocity difference) than a pure turbojet exhaust into static air.  It could be argued this creates more visible contrails just as easily (any fluid dynamics engineers please chime in).

Relative humidity at high altitude.  Yes there is almost no water at high altitude.  That’s why your throat gets dry on long flights.  The air, on an absolute basis, is 10x drier than desert air.  Where does the water come from?  Fuel.  That’s the main exhaust product of burning hydrocarbons.  A jet engine is spewing THOUSANDS OF POUNDS OF WATER PER HOUR into the atmosphere.  Creating clouds.  Mic drop. 
 I'm a skeptic mainly because of a very simple reason: given how many people would be seeing huge tanks being loaded into aircrafts I don't believe at least one of them wouldn't speak.

Also I don't see how it helps the government or anyone else doing it in secret. With other things there's a pretty clear direct benefit. 
 Franky, calories in, calories out is the only thing had ever worked for me.
