RFK Jr. Goes Full Tinfoil, Pledges to Stop Chemtrails in Latest Dr. Phil Interview

The Secretary of Health and Human Services appeared to blame the existence of chemtrails on DARPA, saying he would do everything in his power to stop the emissions.


Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has gone full conspiracy buff. In a recent interview with Dr. Phil, the Secretary of Health and Human Services vowed to combat the entirely fabricated threat of chemtrails.

Dr. Phil, whose full name is Phil McGraw, hosted a town hall interview with RFK Jr. on his namesake show Primetime, which aired this Monday (the show is part of Dr. Phil’s self-founded streaming network Merit Street, but also appears on YouTube). At one point, Kennedy fully endorsed an audience member’s fears about chemtrails, appeared to blame another government agency for their existence, and said he would do everything in his power to stop them.

... "Dr. Phil" is still on the air. I thought he was done. RFK Jr. is a perfect guest for him. What horrible creatures roam the Earth.

His cousin Caroline Kennedy would not have made such a strong public statement
against him about how dangerous he is without good reason.

At this point the Trump slump might end up affecting air travel........

No planes, no contrails.



(i mean why is he going to promise something to the conspiracy nuts he can't possibly deliver......doesn't he realize when they don't go away the conspiracy nuts will turn on him?)

In truth, these trails are the product of condensation that usually happens when jet fuel exhaust (mostly made out of water vapor but also containing small particles of soot) mixes with cold, humid air at high altitudes.

In other words, they’re basically just temporary clouds made out of ice crystals (natural clouds are more often composed of water droplets).

They’re formally known as contrails, short for condensation trails.

These are the same people who steadfastly believe the earth is flat and we never landed on the moon. I've dealt with these people and they truly are beyond reasoning. It's a lost cause.
