Dwell by the conspiracy idea, die by the conspiracy idea.
Because the MAGA world implodes over its failed Epstein list obsession—possibly as a result of President Donald Trump is on it—let’s not neglect one other unhinged conspiracy it promised to unravel: chemtrails.
Sure, chemtrails.
Final August, Well being and Human Companies Secretary and full-time conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. responded to a bonkers chemtrails submit on X, vowing to “cease this crime.”
Then, in an April look on “Dr. Phil,” Kennedy doubled down on chemtrails.
“That’s not taking place in my company. We don’t try this. It’s finished—we predict—by DARPA, and a whole lot of it now could be popping out of the jet gas. These supplies are put in jet gas,” he stated. “I’m going to do all the things in my energy to cease it,” he stated. “We’re bringing on any individual who’s gonna assume solely about that, discover out who’s doing that and maintain them accountable.”
The chemtrail conspiracy theory falsely claims that the white trails left by planes are chemical or organic brokers sprayed by the federal government for sinister functions—like climate management, thoughts management, or inhabitants suppression.
In actuality, they’re contrails—brief for condensation trails—manufactured from nothing greater than ice crystals fashioned when sizzling, humid jet exhaust hits chilly upper-atmosphere air. It’s fundamental physics. If the air is humid sufficient, the path lingers. If it’s dry, it disappears shortly. There’s no spraying. No thoughts management. Simply water vapor and science.
And DARPA, which stands for the Protection Superior Analysis Initiatives Company, just isn’t a secret weather-manipulation unit. If Kennedy genuinely believes this nonsense, he might simply decide up the cellphone and ask his buddy, Protection Secretary Pete Hegseth, whether or not the navy is dosing the skies with mind-control mist.
However making a taxpayer-funded place for a full-time chemtrail detective is less complicated than simply admitting that you simply don’t perceive clouds or condensation. And for a MAGA base nonetheless emotionally shattered by the Epstein listing flop, Kennedy’s jet-fuel hysteria is simply one other hit of the good things.
As a result of when one conspiracy idea fizzles, there’s all the time one other ready within the sky.
