Really? Could you fly it up to those altitudes (30,000 feet plus??)? Just curious.
You would probably have to do your own wing and propeller designs, and carry a lot of fuel. Putting a strobe light on the drone so you could see it from the ground at high altitude might or might not be legal.
I had been challenged to review the film in a completely objective way, without putting my own opinions into it. It occurred to me to see what the reaction would be to a suggestion to objectively settle the question of the chemtrails' existence. I wasn't surprised by the response.
I was disappointed. If I had a few dozen people like those in the film, passionately stirred up about chemtrails, I'd be passing the hat to collect $1-2,000, finding a remote control model airplane expert, and going after those conspiring sonsabitches who were corrupting my precious bodily fluids.
Or what the heck, find a rich chemtrail enthusiast-- there are bound to be some-- and hire a Learjet for a few hours.
But in either case, you would then have to find a new conspiracy theory to persecute yourself with.

The air is somewhat thinner up at 30,000ft so the plane would have to be very light with a big wing area but probably could be done. Be interesting to try. Might be illegal flying something that high though.
Most conspiracy theorists don't know much about science. They are interested in it but don't really understand it.

While believers are not even interested to start with, which is the nature of believing after all. They need every thing to be fine / as "officially" supposed.
Actually the very most of people wished everything was idle, a natural thing that is. However, a majority can´t shoulder evil conditions beyond very humble extend, let alone possibly face how they benefit from misery themselves or at least dismiss victims and damages.
The main readiness for dismiss arises from a psyche though that was formed under retarded pedagogics of ambivalent legitimizing and devalueing. ( Instead of say "Mommy does not like what your are doing there!" levering like "Mommy does not like you when you do like that!")
Whom it fits to file an insane destruction of the planet and of humanity as absent or natural, may at the least realize that said pedagogics are still vastly in place. And next hopefully understand what it makes of people. Namely personalities who involuntarily will connect whatever of potential discrepancy to their personal legitimation / devaluation, and thus regardless be fending off any bad news from their fragile being.
Beethoven's Sixth is playing as I write this. Nothing like the Pastoral to begin the day on a positive note!
Cheers,
Bill

Richard got me all amped up and then left the Vienna party. :(
I'll get back to you in a couple of days when my new discs arrive.
I ordered the Bridge Records sets of the Budapest Quartet at the Library of Congress, playing the Middle and Late Quartets on the Stradivari instruments Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge donated to the nation.
If the recording quality is good enough, I'll order the Opus 18 set.
It'll take me back to high school in the '50s, and you'll get tired of hearing about it.
Gotta eat lunch and go see the ophthalmologist for my last post-operative checkup. Things don't have to keep getting worse as your body wears out.
After a couple of half-hour surgeries, I have new lenses in my eyeballs. Now I know why my mother was so happy after she got hers. I'm driving without glasses for the first time in years, and seeing a hell of a lot better.
Let's see, hearing aids, new eyeball lenses, what should I do next? In ten years you'll be hearing from Bionic Richard. My picado will scare you to death.

Gotta stay ambulatory and alert, Richard, and it looks like your managing that quite well. At the age of 70, I still play squash three times a week in order to keep my joints from rusting and locking up. Can cataracts be far behind? I assume all that hardware will not prevent you from enjoying a good Mexican dinner and a couple of cervezas should I show up in your neck of the woods again for one reason or another. Looking forward to getting together again before too many moons pass.
Cheers,
Bill

I am genuinely delighted that you have had such a positive outcome from your surgery Richard.
On the subject of Beethoven I often whistle out loud when I consider his indomitable will and intellect. He was not blessed with perfect pitch and yet he was able to expand his harmonic vocabulary and thematic compositional procedures whilst profoundly deaf. And not just for himself but for Wagner and Schoenberg and well .....everyone else really.
Here in the UK we would nowadays subvert his creativity by offering him, free of charge, a cochlear implant.
In America as a self-employed avant-garde artist it is of course pretty unlikely that he would be able to avail himself of this petty modern solution.
Saintly insurance company lobbyists would grind the country to a halt. They would defend to the hilt his god given right to be indomitable.......... unaided.
No to desiturb the prove of sophistication and pretended awareness, but I think one of today news from the classic fake side to be specially worth paying attention to.
Remember Ecuador´s plea to the world community to invest a neglible amount so that it could even out for renunciation of oil mining in Yasuni national park?
They asked for a ridiculously low amount ( what was it, 80 millions$ or so?! Don´t remember), by standards of your holy impeccable state sytems hundreds of billions should had been quoted instead.
They sincerely asked for just that pocket money and waited patiently for so many years, and yesterday after the EU and US had insisted on keeping idle, the Ecuadorians decided to allow the drilling for oil in one of the last refuges around Amazonas. Exactly what waiting oil companies had been out for.
Now you keep assuring yourself that such was to be the outcome of democratic processing, but every rational mind that can sum up will understand who the parliaments present that persistently dismiss the chance of preserving such reservate for less than peanuts.
Let aside actually informed who might be remotely aware of what countries like Ecuador deserve and what they have been through with oil companies and the contaminating of their country for bargain.
Sure, the daily principle behind cases like this must be all procedure of authentic democracy, and of governments who are there to present the interest of the people. Isn´t it.
Making me only wondering: What do you dream of yet at night?
Can´t read it myself. Monkey´s first degree cousins of another shade yet same cognitive principle have blocked the URL. They seem to have a host almost as large as Echelon´s staff, ready to block whatever just released note any time.
