Gareth Morgan

I've been struggling with getting my head around the chem trails conspiracy so I've changed to why Gareth Morgan hates cats which I think will be more fun anyway. I've thumb nailed some different ideas and at this stage my favourite is Gareth Morgan as a werewolf, playing on the whole dogs hate cats thing.

Chem Trail Thumbnails

These are my first set of thumbnails about chem trails. After class today I realise now that they are only showing the conspiracy theory, not the creation myth behind it.

TIME

I feel that both chemtrails and Gareth Morgan would fit well in TIME magazine. Chemtrails could be in new scientist however it has a lot of social and political aspects which TIME covers well, and new scientist usually covers more serious scientific stories.  TIME also has stories on important, influential people which I suppose you could say Gareth Morgan is.

Chem Trails & Gareth Morgan


At this stage I am looking at two conspiracy theories, Chemtrails and why Gareth Morgan hates cats.


Chemtrails

Chem trails conspiricists believe that condensation trails behind aeroplanes are actually trails of chemicals being spread for the population to inhale.

Possible reasons for this are:

  • environmental modification and control
  • biological operations
  • military applications
  • planetary and geophysical modification
  • a global surveillance system




Gareth Morgan

New Zealand economist Gareth Morgan created a campaign to eradicate cats, suggesting that owners not replace their cats when they die. His website Cats to Go states "That little ball of fluff you own is a natural born killer" and of course public backlash followed.
