so prince gets chem trails any other believers out there?

I love his music but he made a fool of himself when he started rambling on about this wild conspiracy theory.

YES

This was discussed a while ago and someone posted a legitimate news video verifying this activity as fact.

there is some truth to it but let's be real....if chem trails exist then they are affecting everyone not just black folk.

The guy considers fish to be family....if Chemi trails are teal and alter the mindset of black folks then I think Prince was sucking on the tailpipe of the mothership... The guys a nutter.

Listen to it...the US governemnt testing mind altering gas on it's own people...but this gas affects only black people.

It's racist fantasy to Spike Lee levels

Who said anything about it just affecting a certain race?!

If chemicals are sprayed in the air then it affects everyone, since the wind will blow it. But on the other hand, it goes beyond that. For example, there certain products that are sold in specific neighborhoods, that you won't find in others. There are other bad elements that could be found more in specific communities than others, i.e, liquor stores, garbage disposal plants, just to name a few, that you will find in lower, economic communities,

People really do over-react to this lyric and wildly misinterpret - I mean, I'm now seeing that Prince is stating, as absolute fact, that the government are spraying mind-altering gases that only affect black people over cities!! What?! Where are you getting this from?

Here's the lyric;

While the helicopter circles us, this theory's getting deep
Think they're spraying chemicals over the city
While we sleep

First off - this is not being presented as fact, its asking a question. It mentions clearly the word "theory" (which, is not necessarily fact) and then asks the question "Think they're spraying chemicals over the city while we sleep?". The point being, if this is US history, about how it treated a certain section of its own citizens until quite recently (with remnants of that behaviour still remaining - in essence, the entire point of the song), then is it really so ludicrous, this theory of chemtrails, that the government would spray its own people? (and anyone who knows their history would know certain leaders and dictators have not been averse to killing their own people).

This also erases this ridiculous assumption that Prince is also saying that this is an attack on black people only! He doesn't say anything like that and seeing as he is using this "conspiracy theory" as a metaphorical vehicle to make a wider point about how the US government has been known to treat its own people, it makes that point entirely moot.

No wonder he says "this theory gets deep" - seems appreciation of artistic works is a little too deep for some! Do people really need it spoon-feeding to the extent that, unless it is literal, they're just not going to think about it? SOTT?!

Oh I haven't even heard that lyric - I was just going on his Tavis interview where he claimed, back in the day, jets used to fly over with these trails and all of a sudden black folks were fighting in the streets.

I'm pretty sure that's what he said anyway

purpledoveuk said:

Ah, well, likewise, I haven't seen that interview Anyhoo, in Dreamer he is certainly not as specific as what you've paraphrased there - might have to check out this interview then

Mindflux said:

Good point Mindflux. He is actually asking if it is in fact possible, that chemicals are being sprayed over communities. Nowhere did it state in that song that chemtrails were specifically being sprayed in black communities. The lyric in that line, was stated in the form of a question, i.e., "Think (being the key word here) they're (referring to our government) spraying chemicals...."

P was in agreement with Dick who said chemtrails affect black people and are done on purpose. Dick has talked about this before. I believe he thinks that there wouldn't be any violence among black folk if it weren't for the government purposely putting drugs in the neighborhoods, leaving chemtrails and dropping weaponry on the streets for youth to get their hands on. I think both these brothas fail to realize that violence is part of the human conditon and has been for thousands of years. There isn't a spot on earth or a group of people that are violence free or illness free. Besides, what kind of weak minded ninny are you that you would let the government influence you to poison your body and kill your neighbor?

Okay, so I was googling chemtrails and look at this article I came across, and the author mentions "Prince" and "Dick Gregory" on this topic;it's apparent the author saw the Tavis interview:

Dick Gregory has spoken about Manganese and the effect it has on an individual when it becomes toxic in the body. However, I cannot say that this is the main factor that causes violent behavior within a community. I do believe Mr. Gregory mentioning that Manganese is in products like Malt Liquor, and it is no secret that malt liquor can be mind altering, when a certain consumption of it is in the body. Also if there is an area where many residents live near where Manganese is being mined, then it is posisible it would have an effect on a person's health and the environment. Manganese is found in the soil, and not impossible that it could get into fruits and vegetables.

MANGANESE

Thanks Desiree - I'm largely unfamiliar with Dick Gregory (know who he is, but not much of what he has said) and I've yet to see the Tavis interview. I was responding because I assumed (rightly or wrongly) that the chemtrail thread was started because of the Dreamer lyrics.

You have good points, but you also have to realise the governments, political bodies, armies, tribes, you name it, throughout history have used various tactics to stir up trouble, tensions and violence amongst folk - yes, its part of the human condition, but there are those that will manipulate and coerce at the same time

Weak-minded ninny (hehehe - like that!)....quite!

True, which is very much a part of the game of "Divide and Conquer= Destruction and Confusion". This is how one manages to take over and control a people.

^ given the above info about manganese and possible over exposure/side effects/poisoning....white people would be more at risk due to dietary factors and mining areas alone.

DesireeNevermind said:

That's probably due to the main areas of mining, as mentioned in the article.I think it would affect everyone, due to possible traces of it in our food and other non-vegetable/fruit products transported to the U.S. I don't see the danger limited to any specific group quite frankly, but I do get your point.

The only chem trails Prince should be worried about are the ones left when his relaxer drips down his neck.

OnlyNDaUsa said:

ok you know that's foul....but it is funny.

A lot of the trails you see in the sky could be attributed to a process called the "Twomey Effect" used to cool the earth, where large ships with rotors spray salt water from the ocean into the air and the clouds, and they leave a trail. I saw a program on the "planet" cable channel sometime in the summer about this:

but there is a hidden message in that! We often worry about things others do that could harm us, as we subject ourselves to far more toxins than are found in our environment. We worry about trace chemicals in the water as we drink a coke.
