Airplanes are spraying toxic substances into the atmosphere as part of a plan devised by the US authorities, Romanian conspiracy theorists (once again) announce.
NEWS: Tucker Carlson was shocked during a discussion with geoengineering expert Dane Wigington, who revealed what he claims is actually being sprayed into the sky. "It's not just condensation," Wigington warns, insisting that the trails we see in the sky are the result of a much more dangerous and organized process.
Wigington named seven problematic substances that he says are being spread into the atmosphere: aluminum, barium, strontium, manganese, surfactants, polymer fibers, and graphene.
"All roads lead to those who print the money," Wigington explained, naming the DoD (US Department of Defense) and DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) as the entities coordinating these operations.
Referring to the popular theory that the trails in the sky are just condensation, Wigington was blunt: "This is one of the biggest lies ever told to the people of the world. All military and commercial aircraft have high bypass turbine engines. Ninety percent of the air that goes through the engine is not fuel. By design, the engine is almost incapable of producing condensation trails, except in rare and extreme cases."

Furthermore, he claims that this is no longer a conspiracy theory: "We are being sprayed like insects."
According to him, the government has finally acknowledged the existence of chemtrails, officially called geoengineering, and that the effects are far more serious than people can imagine.
During the discussion, Wigington addressed numerous topics, including who is behind these operations, the government's position on climate engineering, the history of weather control, and even "Operation Popeye" [...]
NARRATIVE: Airplanes intentionally spray toxic substances into the atmosphere.
PURPOSE: To promote conspiracy theories, provoke and amplify social tensions, validate one's own conspiracy theories.
If you want to review...
WHY THE NARRATIVE IS FALSE: The "chemtrails" theory is not new. It emerged in the early 1990s and gained momentum with the advent of the Internet. It claims that the visible trails left by airplanes in the sky are not simple contrails, but chemicals deliberately sprayed for secret purposes, such as climate control, population manipulation, or even poisoning. The idea is promoted by conspiracy websites and activists such as Dane Wigington, but there is no scientific evidence to support it.
In reality, meteorology and atmospheric physics experts explain that the marks in the sky are contrails—condensation trails, i.e., artificial clouds of condensation formed from water vapor that solidifies into ice crystals at high altitudes after contact with the hot exhaust gases released by aircraft engines. Naturally, the duration of the phenomenon depends on the temperature and humidity of the air. Thus, the "white trails in the sky" disappear in a few minutes if the air is dry or, as NASA has found , can remain in the sky for up to 14 hours in the case of high humidity.
Furthermore, the process does not depend on the type of engine. Contrary to Wigington's claims, modern high-airflow engines can produce contrails, and these have nothing to do with the spraying of chemicals. To date, there are dozens of independent (including peer-reviewed) studies that have analyzed atmospheric particles in areas with heavy air traffic without finding abnormal concentrations of metals compatible with "chemtrails." One such study, published in Environmental Research Letters, concluded, after analyzing several air and soil samples from areas suspected by chemtrail theorists, that there is absolutely no evidence of deliberate chemical spraying. Furthermore, neither the European Environment Agency nor the World Health Organization has ever reported abnormal concentrations of heavy metals consistent with the "chemtrails" hypothesis.
The claim that the US government "has finally acknowledged the existence of chemtrails, officially referred to as geoengineering" is obviously not true. Geoengineering is a real scientific field, still experimental, which studies methods of modifying radiation to combat global warming. One of the methods currently being tested is the injection of aerosols into the stratosphere, but this does not involve the spraying of toxic substances in any way. Moreover, there is no official document, budget, program, or government patent attesting to such atmospheric dispersion activity on a global scale. DARPA - Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency does indeed have projects in the field of climate modeling and weather drones, but they do not work by releasing substances into the air.
Similarly, "spraying" does NOT cause fires and does NOT affect fauna, flora, or humans. Vegetation fires are explained by specialists as being caused by climatic factors, poor land management, and global warming, not by substances dispersed in the air. No ecotoxicology study has confirmed such an effect associated with "chemtrails," and the association with "Operation Popeye" is, at best, a bad joke. "Operation Popeye" was a secret US military program during the Vietnam War that aimed to prolong the rainy season by "seeding" clouds with silver iodide. The experiment was a one-off, unrelated to current civil aviation or the trails seen in the sky today.
The non-specialist specialist
CONTEXT: The conspiracy theory about "chemtrails" was debunked a decade ago , but this has not prevented it from continuing to spread. The perpetuation of conspiracy theories long after they have been debunked is, in fact, common: The Protocols of the Elders of Zion continue to circulate and be presented as an authentic work a century after it was proven to be a forgery, created by the Tsarist secret police, the theory that the moon landing was staged has followers despite decades of evidence presented by NASA and scientists, and many people continue to believe that the Earth is flat , even though it has been known for millennia that it is round and it’s been centuries since this was first proven by Magellan.
The self-proclaimed expert Dane Wigington is, in fact, a well-known American activist who became famous for promoting conspiracy theories related to "chemtrails." He is the founder of GeoEngineeringWatch.org, a platform that claims that governments are dispersing chemicals into the atmosphere as part of secret climate or population control programs. Obviously, Wigington has no academic background in atmospheric physics or geoengineering, is not affiliated with any academic institution, and his "studies" have absolutely no scientific basis. They are not published in internationally recognized scientific journals and have never been peer-reviewed, i.e., validated by other scientists. In fact, his claims are widely cited mainly in alternative media and on social networks, and the scientific community has repeatedly dismissed them as conspiracy theories.
