26. You sure are desperate to deny what's right in front of your eyes

Apply some logic for a moment:

Airports are points.
The shortest distance two points is a straight line.
Ergo, airplanes will fly in straight lines.

If airplanes do not fly in straight lines, there must be a reason.
Since the only proper/innocent behavior is straight-line A to B (as demonstrated above), the reason for any deviation must be nefarious.
Chemtrails are nefarious.
The only logical explanation for curved paths, therefore, is that the airplanes behaving nefariously are dumping chemtrails on people below.

Q. E. eff'n D.

( <--- I'm 99.99% sure that isn't necessary, but just in case...)
