Croaky McWhalehead "Going To Do Everything In My Power" To Stop Imaginary Chemtrails Threat

The Trump administration appears sceptical about the climate crisis but is deeply concerned about another supposed weather phenomenon: chemtrails. To conspiracists, chemtrails are visible trails left by commercial airliners, lasting longer than the usual condensation trails from jets and containing unknown, sinister chemicals.

To weather scientists, chemtrails are a myth based on misidentification and a lack of understanding about how different humidity levels cause contrails to disappear quickly or linger and grow.

The US health secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr, is determined to take action on chemtrails. During a recent TV discussion, when an audience member said chemtrails were her biggest health worry, Kennedy affirmed that material was being added to jet fuel. “I’m going to do everything in my power to stop it,” he said. “Find out who’s doing it and holding them accountable.”

Kennedy said he was trying to discover which government department was responsible. He suggested the culprits might be Darpa, the Pentagon’s advanced research arm. While there really has been military research into contrails, this was aimed at reducing them to make planes harder to spot.

And the lack of success in the search can amplify the emotions that started the search because "it's obvious they are hiding things from us". This leads to a feedback loop where continued failure requires that greater effort be made to find the elusive thing.

Is:
Despite many claims, there is no evidence of nefarious substances being covertly added to commercial jet fuel. But to conspiracists, this only proves there must be a cover-up.

This is why we can’t have nice things… and this is true of most EVERYTHING in the maga brain. Media bias? No, there are more stories about right wing bs than there are left wing bias because they do more stupid shit.
DOJ going after shitbag vs Biden? Because shitbag is a crook and Biden is not.

All the maga fever dreams of going after the Dems is crap thought up and “researched” on fucking YouTube, there is no there, there….

Fuck these assholes…
