This is a story I couldnt resist writing. Ron Paul supporters are spraying vinegar at the sky to kill clouds. Theyre standing in their backyards, on their porches, and in front of their windows, angrily aiming spray bottles filled with vinegar into the air.
How could I not write about this? If I live to be one-hundred years old, will I ever again get the chance to write about something so incredibly insane?
I have several friends who support Ron Paul. The aim of this piece is not to malign or belittle all Paul supporters just the ones who adhere to the if Alex Jones says it, it must be true school of thought. And boy, do those Paul devotees love the chemtrails conspiracy theory (the belief that the contrails created by the exhaust of aircraft engines are actually toxic chemical trails that the Zionist/Illuminati/Bilderberger/alien-lizard-man secret societies are using to poison the earth).
When not listening to Alex Jones and Jeff Rense, chemtrail believers obsessively take photographs of the poison trails and evil clouds. Of course, since the alien-lizard-Zionist-Bilderbergers forbid the puppet governments of the world from admitting that chemtrails exist, the intrepid chemtrail hunters have been stymied. Sure, they can photograph them, but they cant stop em.
Or CAN they? This year, a movement has spread like dengue fever among chemtrail sleuths. This movement claims that chemtrails can be killed with vinegar, sprayed upward from the ground. And hundreds of chemtrail true believers are doing just that and theyre uploading videos to Youtube, Dailymotion, Ebaumsworld, and elsewhere, documenting their chemtrail kills.
Of the hundreds of chemtrail kill videos, the majority are made by self-described Ron Paul supporters. Ive dubbed this branch of the Paul camp the Paulsamics (as in Paulsamic vinegar). If you want to see the sheer volume of Paulsamic videos online, just Google or Youtube-search chemtrails and vinegar. Below, Ive embedded the very best video of the lot. Its ten minutes long. Normally, I would grab a video of that length and edit a highlight reel. But its impossible to edit this one down; its too damn perfect as it is. Watch as a chemtrail-obsessed, Ron Paul-obsessed mom uses her trusty spray bottle to combat the marauding trails, as her long-suffering teenage son is forced to record her. Witness her great victory as she reemerges later to find that she has cleaned the sky. Oh, and dont miss the clip at the 8-minute mark that shows the state of the familys lawn as a result of the constant vinegar-showers. Perhaps her gardener can explain to her that vinegar is not lighter than air!
Now, my Ron Paul-supporting friends will probably claim that its unfair to use the actions of a few hundred Paulsamics to tar the entire Paul base. Perhaps. But Ill say this: If two hundred Rick Perry, Michelle Bachman, or Rick Santorum supporters converged on the U.S./Mexican border to combat illegal immigration by spraying vinegar in the air, Id consider that every bit as worthy of ridicule as I do the actions of the Paulsamics. Of course, that scenario would never happen. Its a simple truth that no other GOP candidate has a group of supporters who are doing anything even remotely as lunatic as spraying vinegar skyward to kill clouds. This is something totally unique to the Paul crowd.
Several of the Paulsamics brag about the money bombs theyve coordinated for Paul, the organizing theyve done for his campaign, the Internet spots theyve created, etc. This is an important segment of his support base. As Leon Wolf at RedState so aptly observes, Ron Paul has built an entire political career off of pandering to the paranoid and hate filled when he thinks no one is looking.
And now he has the Paulsamics as a result a small cadre of dedicated loons who spray vinegar at the sky. Own em or disown em, Dr. Paul. Or do neither, while still happily accepting their money and support. Either way, theres no denying that your association with the lunatic fringe is a serious stain on your presidential campaign.
Hey now that I think about it, you know whats good for removing stains?
Vinegar!
Nah, that's just the vinegar.
Yup. There are some real dandy people around GV.
I pointed out one time that they should take a map out, and draw a line from the major cities in TX, NM and AZ to LA and San Fran, Sacramento etc and add in Vegas and tell me that we might be in the flight lines of all those airliners going over.
It was a exercise in futility.
But, they dont blink an eye about the meth labs around there.
BTW, You got a real challenge running against the good ol boy network around Kingman...You are from that area no? Or am I thinking of someone else?
Sounds like the technique I used to “age” bronze sculpture. Although I hid the sculpture under a plastic “tent” to prevent all the other stuff in the shop from rusting. What idiots.
“Excuse me, while I douche the sky.”
Sorry, Jimi, I couldn’t resist.
Im glad none of my neighbors are doing it, I cant stand the smell of vinegar.
Somebody should give that lady a lesson in physics. How can you dissipate something that’s miles up in the air with a spray that goes four feet up in the air? Moron!
Her husband must be really proud, or more likely, divorced.
By the way, the rock song at the end of that video is called “Uprising”, by Muse. It happens to be quite popular with both the Tea Party and OWS, because of its cool, rabble-rousing lyrics and dark, anti-government message. I happen to like it a lot.
Yep. It does, considering the title should have been about Alex Jones or Rense listeners, as they seem to be the subset doing this stuff.
What's next?
Nosepickers for Newt?
Retards for Romney?
Beatniks for Bachman?
Complainers for Cain? (Oh. That's been done, but they weren't exactly for him.)
Sheesh!
Seriesly? That's hugh! Set beebers to stune!
” (whinny) My supporters aren’t the praaaaablemmmm (heh heh the cloooowds are the praaaaablemmmm (heh Heh)”
The Believers make the distinction between contrails (jet exhaust) and chemtrails (deliberate aerial dispersion of toxic chemicals for nefarious government purposes). They have ways of recognizing which are which.
And, yes, there are plenty of people who believe in chemtrails. And that sort of mindset is what attracts them to troofers like Paul.
Santorum. I hear he wants to harness the latent energy of inertia to flush toilets in Philly. The water bills are too darn high.
Do the meth labs look something like the bottom one there?
Loonies.
That's a cool tune.
But actually what DManA and I were referring to was the "Stonehedge" scene from "This is Spinal Tap". :)
Classic! (which one are you?)
