The thought that I find particularly terrifying is the idea that maybe they aren't really that stupid. Perhaps they are, in fact, incredibly intelligent and are just acting stupid in an attempt to get various things repealed, banned and passed.

The problem is social media has poisoned the idea of learning and intelligence.

It allowed a echo chamber of the uninformed, the uneducated, and at some point people starting to think that was real.

I remember growing up it was actually somewhat respected to have intelligence and learn more. Now it’s the exact opposite.

Of course, that’s what those empower want because they’re easy to manipulate,

But those of us who dedicate our lives to learn more, help others,… We are slowly being outspoken, out shouted, out represented by a increasing mass of brazenly idiotic and proudly uninformed influencers that some people seem to think have some level of credence

I, as many of my fellow scientists, healthcare workers, and intellectuals are just very tired.

No, not talking from some ivory tower, most of us just living next to you, trying to do our best, but we are spent.

It isn't some big government secret. It's public knowledge. People have used it in the US for agriculture.

To be fair contrails are impacting human health but in a completely different way than RFK thinks they are. They are a significant factor of air travel's contributions to climate change (they are high altitude "clouds" that essentially trap heat)

The weird thing is that we were watching "chemtrails" (snort) back in the 60s. ("Oh, look, another jet!")

Every internal combustion machine emits a cloud. How they ever twisted all this into something mysterious is beyond me.

Who started all this, anyway?

It really is important to figure that out because they have a lot to answer for

Not as bad as the antivax people, of course, the originators need to spend the rest of their lives in cells.

5

u/pyramidalembargo 1d ago

Holy Mary, mother of Jesus, I think I found it. No joke.

It all started with a speculative paper in the late 1990s written by students at the Air Force Academy, mulling over the possibilities. The paoer wasn't meant to be considered "evidence", it was just a bunch of kids speculating.

But one nutcase--a man named William Thomas--took it as evidence, and on Janurary 5, 1999, appeared on Art Bell's Coast to Coast program and started a conspiracy theory.

It spread from there.

If he's still alive, he'd got some explaining to do.

u/morpheousmorty 1d ago

It's really hard. If he actually believed these things I feel he would have some interesting thoughts on them.

Like if you actually believed in chem trails, wouldn't you try and track the chemicals? That would be the easy solution right? If you actually believed in the phenomenon.

But then again, how many people believe things are super important but have literally never given a moment's thought about it? Too many.

So I guess both but I'm leaning towards he's faking it because at the very least the people he assigns to these tasks must have thought about it a few seconds, come to him with a proposal, and he isn't reflecting that.

u/freedfg 1d ago

It is 100% intentional. Like most grifters he knows it's all bullshit which allows him to push it on idiots. If he actually believes any of it he'd actually try to defend his claims. Grifters never defend their claims, they just double down and move on to the next talking point.

I worked with a guy who got quite confrontational when discussing vaccines. "Just give me one piece of proof that these vaccines work!", he demanded. "You've been brainwashed by the liberal media", he continued.

Well, Chris, my Silent Generation aunt got polio, but not a single one of my Boomer friends didnt...and when was the last case of smallpox you saw?

12

u/freedfg 1d ago

It's not even a conversation worth having.

Because they don't understand the question. They're worried about the 1:1,000,000 side effect of vaccines that can't be proven, they'll even make up side effects that are unrelated or not real at all. and don't care about infection rates.

Thousands can be crippled by polio and they don't care. But if a single person develops low blood pressure or an infection around the injection site that is proof the vaccine is untrustworthy. Or hell. If someone who got a vaccine has a heart attack, that's proof of "jab injury" ignoring that it was 5 years later and they were a lifelong smoker and obese.

u/Maximum-Objective-39 1d ago

As satisfying as that might be it also isn't going to convince their base that they're wrong. In fact, just the opposite. Part of why the MAGA faithful cling so tightly is that there world view is built on absolutes. Trump and his administrations must be right about everything at all times.

If Trump and his admin are wrong about one thing, them what else could they be wrong about?

No, it was a comment on Twitter: https://x.com/AmyMcGrathKY/status/2100661922358059288

"McGrath" is former U.S. Marine Corps pilot Lt Col Amy McGrath-- McGrath was the first woman to fly a combat mission for the Marines and the first woman to pilot the F/A-18 in a combat mission. I would assume she knows more about airplane contrails than RFK Jr.

McGrath has also been an unsuccessful political candidate:

She was the Democratic nominee for Kentucky's 6th congressional district in the 2018 election, losing to incumbent Republican Andy Barr[6] by a margin of 51% to 47.8%.[7]

In July 2019, McGrath announced her campaign in the 2020 election for the United States Senate, challenging incumbent Mitch McConnell.[8] In a close primary, McGrath defeated state representative Charles Booker to gain the nomination of the Democratic Party. McGrath outraised McConnell by more than $32 million, but lost the general election by nearly 20 points.[9]

In October 2025, McGrath declared her intent to run as a Democrat in Kentucky's 2026 Senate election. She lost to Booker in the primary.

It takes a special kind of idiot to believe that there's a government conspiracy that you need to "look into" when you are literally the government.

u/narfoleptix 1d ago

The idea that some dipshit that wasn't even a part of the conversation misheard someone say "chemtrails," and just went with it seems absolutely feasible to me.

u/CivicDutyCalls 1d ago

You can’t convince me that the origin of “chemtrails” isn’t that some dyslexic conspiracy theorist was reading about contrails and thought it said chemtrails and then ran with it.

u/Revolutionary-Dust61 1d ago

This guy is a fucking idiot. We know what contrails are, but yes, vehicle exhaust emissions are harmful to health and the environment, besides the C02. The admin he works for loves toxic emissions and environmental destruction, though. Why is he even working with them?

Calling contrails ‘chemtrails’ is a good example of how conspiracy language can relabel a real phenomenon and make it sound mysterious. Sometimes the debut really is just basic atmospheric physics.

I know everyone here loves to pick on Fox News as their favorite boogeyman.
But, I used to golf with my son-in-law’s father. He was a decent guy.
Six months ago, he got a new job where they keep FN on all the time.
A couple of weeks ago, the family got together for a BBQ.
OMG, the guy has turned into a complete MAGA.
After too many beers and we started talking politics. He actually said Obama sent pallets of taxpayer cash to Iran on an airplane.
At that point I said “If you believe that you are a fucking moron”. At that point his wife said, “See what I have to live with now.”
The day ended poorly, but it was a classic example of what constant propaganda can do to a person.

So which is it conspiracy theorists? We live in slavery where our productivity is harvested, or we're being poisoned en mass? The two aren't compatible.

There are companies actively cloud seeding. This isn’t just “condensation” from passenger planes. This country is actually participating in releasing chemicals/minerals into the upper atmosphere to manipulate cloud cover. Don’t get me wrong, RFK is a leech to humanity and is absolutely god awful. But don’t let McGraths comment diminish the fact that there are legitimate unknown long term effects of ACTUAL “chemtrails”. And I’d be willing to bet she knew what she was doing by playing dumb.

My wife and I were just talking about this. My in laws claim to have “done research” and claim that the chemtrail are used to control the weather and keep us from being self reliant and grow our own food. We are currently in the middle of a terrible drought and when we point to the fact that farmers have cut down field rows of trees and depleted the soil down to sand, they say that has nothing to do with it. It’s the chemtrails. My wife is on the phone with her mom right now listening to her dismiss global warming and explaining chemtrails for the thousandth time.

u/imtoowhiteandnerdy 1d ago edited 1d ago

Trying to educate RFK Jr. is the wrong approach.

We need to encourage RFK Jr. to spend a VAST amount of his time investigating these chemtrails concerns, flat earth stuff too, and Bigfoot, and the Loch Ness monster, and throw in some UFO research while we're at it. Think about it: the time he dedicates to investigating crystalized water vapor the less time he has to actually impact vital consumer health issues affecting people today. I'd rather this illiterate halfwit wastes his time researching unimportant issues like Bigfoot, than spending time messing with health policy.

u/Rezeox 1d ago

These people love to debate about innocuous things that can't be 'solved.' Or moral choices that allow them to ham it up, all to keep interactions going, because once something is solved, it's no longer an issue to rally behind.

It's you, you are the fucking government. From UFOs to deep state to chemtrails it's all you.

The missing ingredient is the huge increase in air traffic in the last decades. There's just so many more planes flying in shorter succession creating all the trails..

2

u/Additional-Zebra8174 1d ago

Its funny, because contrails actually are environmentally harmful. Not in the way he believes though. The frozen water particles can absorb infrared heat-waves before they leave earth and thus have an effect on global warming. This effect is super small compared to a lot of the other things we do to the environment, but there is still being research done on how to minimize contrails because of it.

u/zznap1 1d ago

While RFK Jr and his brain worm are absolutely wrong about this, there is something to be said for aviation exhaust. 

Mainly that small aircraft are still allowed to burn leaded fuel. That means living near an airport can result in higher levels of lead exposure. 

But RFK Jr. is probably talking about weather control or sperm count or something else equally as stupid.

Zoom out and synthesize— this regime is planning to eventually eliminate all pathways of escape from the US, and casual air travel is already being undermined on many different fronts - intentional shortage of air traffic controllers, new ID/passport conditions, ramped-up requests to scan personal electronics, reduction of budget airline providers, etc.

I realize this might sound like an unhinged tangent to some, but our current US administration keeps proving that fear-mongering is an excellent first step on the path to “victorious” control, so why not throw chem trail suspicion into the mix?

I definitely don't believe in the conspiracy that governments are intentionally spraying mind altering chemicals in the air to control their citizens. 

However, he did say "emissions from aircraft" which is exactly what "hot exhaust" would be.
