LaVerkin Councilman Publishes U.N. Conspiracy Belief (Tinfoil tricorn time!)

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.

Thanks for the ping. An earlier ping would not have worked anyway, as I was aboard the mothership at the time, encased in my slimy seedpod.

Boy them aliens sure make some good soap!

[Cyber Liberty]

Yup, yup, yup! Squeaky clean, inside and out!

This thread is giving me such joy yet making me miss so many old FReepers. It's really been a while since we had a good one of "these".

;^)

[Cyber Liberty]

Another sinister plot, I see....

[Cyber Liberty]

Makes you nostalgic for Michael Rivero?

The contrails are playing checkers right now right here. Anna, look to the east . . .

Alas it's a shame that babylonian and Chanel aren't here to participate.

This thread would be right up their alley.

They only publish this crap to "discount" the legitimate theories, which have been backed up by exhaustive and comprehensive evidence and statements from the "one-worlders" themselves.

If you haven't read the book "None Dare Call It A Conspiracy", I suggest that as an excellent place to start.

Mars was more interesting.

 

I do love the missile trails that appear once a year or so:

It makes me nostalgic for "those days". There were some great threads and much hilarity. I haven't uttered the word "shillspur" in aaaaaaaages. (That may scare me if I dwell on it too long.)

Dang those are awsome. It's sort of shocking to see a really good one, all colors, while the sky is still almost completely dark. The pic doesn't do it justice, though.

[Petronski]

I'm sure you're smart enough to boil these 'legitimate theories' down to a sentence or two.

Normally I'd read your suggested book, but right now I'm too busy with the "Project Bluebook" files.

I think that glitch we all just experienced was a Bilderberger plot.

You mean the ones about the Bilderburgers, the Rothschilds and the Federal Reserve and the rest of the NWO nasties?

[Cyber Liberty]

Heh, heh, heh....

Three Bilderberger plots!
