You sound like Dad. I'm not remotely paranoid. I see the f'in chemtrails. I see the effects of geoengineering and I'm not the only one on both counts.


No, there are a lot of paranoid people in the world who see evil in very innocuous things.

Yes, planes dropping chemicals from the sky and engineered weather causing droughts and floods is "very innocuous."

I would say "evil," not "innocuous."

I own vehicles but I'm not hooking up equipment to intentionally spray chemicals on other people. We aren't talking about accidental or incidental emissions but intentional acts of heinousness.

I drive on roads and own a home and cross bridges - what does that have to do with anything?

Do you really want to trust your health to pharm companies who will cut any corner to make a profit, even at the expense of your health?

Homeopathic is the way to go, man.

It would be easier if it wasn't my mom or if she wasn't so sweet. It's gonna break my heart but I can't have her spending money on this stupid shite.


It would be as stupid as giving money to a faith healer.

You say a lot of sweet things about your mom, made me tear up a little. Just don't be mean to her or get mad (and I'm sure you won't). Be nice.

I'm always up for a good conspiracy theory, but, you really think people can control the weather to create floods or droughts?

Not just theoretically, but, in practice today?

It is a fact that there is government geoengineering of weather. They don't exactly create, it is more along the lines of creating conditions that encourage certain types of weather, or that amplify weather.

One day we'll cure every illness known to man with the correct combination of apple cider vinegar and witch hazel.

33 sometimes you gotta let things go. If your mom can afford this and it makes her feel better ( mentally not physically) just let her be happy. Now if she is losing the house or going into financial ruin then you step in. Explain to her how you feel to her and then let her decide. You know I have been honest to you about this thing called life. Good luck

That's just it. I'm either sweet as pie to the women I love, or I am a fricking a-hole. I don't have a medium.

a-hole me tells the truth though. It doesn't let people get away with stupid shite and calls it like it is.

It would be like if she had a new pet. and loved the pet, and thought it was so cute and sweet. And then I saw it and recognized it as a mogwai

Now, as a good son, and knowing the danger, how can I allow it to go on? Doesn't being a good son demand I take it away? And not just take it away but make her look as I show her the ugliness that it really is, and then kill it with a hammer and burn it as it screams and piss on the ashes?

Else she'll just get another one.

I'm really wrestling with this.

In other words, you don't understand it. Essentially that's because it is pseudoscience.

Petroleum is created from intense pressures. Its only magical property is giving procurers of it great wealth.

Crystals receive, project, give out, and refract light, and light is one of the most powerful energy sources.


So does glass, or even plastic for that matter. None of which really gives off its own light. The only exception being infrared light from accumulated heat. This would be the same as any other material.

Interesting, thanks.

I've read some interesting stuff about the Arch in St. Louis manipulating weather, actually

I can tell you are. Be sweet to your mother, don't be an arse. If the money is not material to her financial condition and she feels better using it anmd it doesn't hurt her, maybe it would be best to let it go.

I'm signing off but I will keep you in my thoughts. Be kind to your Mom and do the right thing.
