LaVerkin, UT A small southern Utah community has gained international notoriety from its campaign to become a United-Nations-Free Zone.
Now, the LaVerkin city councilman who started that campaign has published a book revealing a truly astounding belief about the U.N.
But a prominent historian says the real worry is that 1950s style "conspiracy theories" are gaining momentum in our X-files generation.
The United Nations may have some image problems lately. But most people will have real trouble swallowing Al Snow's theory.
He thinks the U.N. is conducting a campaign of mass murder by spraying poison into the atmosphere. Is LaVerkin's chief anti-UN crusader onto something? Or is he seeing boogeymen under the bed?
Al Snow believes in the Red, White & Blue. And in a seemingly UN-believable threat from the blue sky.
Al Snow: "Well, today's a good day for you guys to be here because there's lots of chemtrails in the sky."
Most people would call them con-trails. Or vapor-trails.
But LaVerkin city councilman Al Snow says these trails are different. They spread out for hours and fill the sky. He says they are Chemical Trails sprayed almost every day by strange aircraft.
Al Snow: "They're all silver with no insignia or no number. Or they're all white. Or they're all white with a red tail."
In his new book, "Chemtrails: Death in the Sky," he claims the aircraft are spreading barium powder. He thinks it's likely they're trying to kill millions of people. His book asks the question, "Is the United Nations doing the spraying?"
Al Snow: "I think they are, yeah. I think they are. But I want people to think about it and make up their own mind."
"Chemtrails" are the latest in a half-century saga of bizarre, mostly discredited UN conspiracy theories.
Historian Robert Goldberg has studied and written about conspiracy theories. They persist, he says, even without evidence, because they give people a sense of power.
Robert Goldberg/ Professor, University of Utah History Dept.: "The people who claim conspiracy theories picture themselves as latter-day Paul Revere's. That is, 'The people are asleep and the danger is close by. If only we can awaken the American people.' Then the danger can be set aside."
Al Snow is a sort of LaVerkin Paul Revere.

No I got it, but your comment started me thinking.
If their purpose is to eliminate as many people as possible why aren't they concentrating their efforts is areas with large concentrations of senior citizens who are more physically vulnerable than younger people.
Why concentrate their efforts on Utah where they're going to whack mostly jackrabbits, coyotes and rattlesnakes.
Why not spray Los Angeles, New York City and Mexico City?
It seems to me that they're missing a good bet there.
Are you ready?
CONTRAILS!!!
For the curious, check out this link to view five-year chemtrail history in your area. You'll have to register, then click on 'CALENDAR":
It is also my theory that this person doesn't want an explanation at all. That theory is being proven with every passing minute.
All in all a rather stupid abd inefficient way of getting things into the people you want to affect.
Lemme get this straight, there is a website that tracks chemtrail sightings and catalogs them for people inclined to believe that stuff. It then requires you REGISTER?
Maybe I'm crazy, but people paranoid enough to believe in chemtrails are entirely too paranoid to register for something on the internet.
Yeah, I don't like it either. But it's a YAHOO site. Most, if not all Yahoo sites require you register if you want to click the member links in the left column. The forum itself does not require registration if you only wanted to follow the discussion.
I saw these things all the time as a kid. Really! Back in the 60's. I'd look way up there and see them, and the devil planes.
Little did I realize at the time, but they were engaged in a nefarious plot to shrink the world.
Stop laughing....it's true!
I noticed, little by little (the process had taken a number of years....ten at least), Things around me were getting smaller. I knew for sure that something series was afoot when I visited my old elementary school. The whole place had become incredibly tiny! The desk I sat at looked like something a doll would fit in.
Well, I didn't say anything, because I was sure I'd be thrown in a dungeon or some catacombs right then and there.
It appears the world stopped shrinking around 1976, thank goodness. I wonder why I was immune to the chemtrails? I theorized at the time that perhaps I was not fully immune, as I noticed that I had started strange hair growths under my arms, on my face and, uh....somewhere else.
Could it be my immunity wore off, and we've been shrinking ever since? I'd hate to think the Earth is the size of mosquito testicles or something.....
Don't forget that they're also putting flouride in our water, and God only knows what other deviltry they're up to that we don't know about.
I resemble that remark about Arizona. Just send the old folks here in the summer, you wouldn't need anything else. The heat would kill them.
The elders only come here in the winter.
