Kucinich? Isn't he the guy who wrote a bill to ban orbiting mind-control satellites and "chemtrails," and then had to recall it and edit it because everybody laughed at the loonyism of it?

He is the guy involved in the situation you're thinking of, yes. But there wasn't actually any mention of "mind-control satellites". The questionable part was in the "definitions" section of the bill, which said:
(2)(A) The terms `weapon' and `weapons system' mean a device capable of any of the following: ... (ii) Inflicting death or injury on, or damaging or destroying, a person (or the biological life, bodily health, mental health, or physical and economic well-being of a person)-- ... (II) through the use of land-based, sea-based, or space-based systems using radiation, electromagnetic, psychotronic, sonic, laser, or other energies directed at individual persons or targeted populations for the purpose of information war, mood management, or mind control of such persons or populations;
So, yes, mind control is mentioned, but in the context of "land-based, sea based, or space-based systems". So, "mind control" isn't necessarily associated with the "space-based" part of it.
Here is the original text of the bill, and here is the rewritten text. I think the problem with the original seems to be that they were a bit too wordy about defining what a "weapon" is, and ended up trailing off into unrelated territory. After all, what do land- and sea-based weapons have to do with a bill to outlaw space weapons?
And just what the hell is a "chemtrail", anyway?

Hm... So, now I'm left wondering if this is one of those things completely imagined by the people in the tin-foil caps, or if it's one of those things that really exist, but the aforementioned shielded-headgear enthusiasts have needlessly attributed clandestine maliciousness to.

I haven't checked the websites, because for once I am not totally in the mood for insanity, but, I'm pretty sure the "chemtrail" phenomenon, despite claims to the contrary, is just a combination of regular jet contrails + odd lighting conditions and/or overactive imaginations.
HAARP is what we should really be worried about, of course. And rods. And all your secrets can be plumbed out of you via playing your speech backwards!

OK, this time I'm the one to ask: just what the hell are "rods", anyway?
