What are they spraying?

The other day, I was scanning my X feed and came across a link to an RFK Jr. post about chem-trails. For those unfamiliar with the term, chem-trails are the sometimes-alleged reason for the “contrails” frequently emitted from the back of aircraft.

This caught my attention as I’ve become interested in what RFK has to say about things in the past few years, as he has brought a lot of attention to the importance of free speech and open inquiry. Especially as they relate to scientific and medical issues. This was quite an issue during COVID-19 when information from the government was rapidly changing, and medical and scientific viewpoints contradicting the government narrative were suppressed. This contradicts the scientific method, which requires all theories to be challenged to prove their truth. There are so many examples of what is commonly believed to be true being found to be false that I couldn’t begin to list them, but suffice it to say it was once generally accepted that the earth was flat and later that the sun revolved around it.

RFK’s guest was Dr. Dane Wigington, who writes for geoengineeringwatch.org. The podcast I found was over a year old and released on February 28, 2023. I hope by now RFK has further doubts about Dr. Wigington’s assertions.

The interview started with Wigington being asked to explain the white vapor trails that are so common in the skies. He explained that these condensation trails are, “in almost all cases,” not water vapor trails but chem-trails or chemicals being released into the atmosphere intentionally to alter weather conditions. He explained that the released chemicals consisted of aluminum “nano-particles” and were sprayed into the atmosphere to deflect the sun's rays from further warming the earth. He also suggested that this would allow the government and private industry to pollute the atmosphere further without worrying about global warming effects.

RFK did offer up some pushback. “Why are there no whistle-blowers?” I thought this an obvious question. Dr. Wigington provided some explanations for this, none of which made much sense to me. He also pointed out that pilots closely examine the exterior of their aircraft before each flight. How could the ejection ports or spray bars required to emit a spray into the atmosphere in flight not be noticed? Again, there was no reasonable explanation as far as I was concerned.

For anyone unsure of what causes contrails, the explanation is simple. When fuel is burned in an engine, any engine, a byproduct of the combustion is water. When this water vapor comes out of the back of a jet engine at higher altitudes, it often condenses and quickly freezes, forming a vapor trail or contrail. If the air is very dry, the water will evaporate before it forms a contrail. For Wigington to state categorically that “in almost all cases,” the contrail is a chem-trail is ridiculous. When I discuss this with other airline pilots, many like me, former military pilots with top secret clearances and years and years of experience, they laugh. It’s a joke to even talk about it. Years ago, I bought a tee shirt with a silhouette of a Boeing 707 emitting contrails with a skull and crossbones with the caption “Death From Above” under it. I thought it was hilarious.

I found this podcast interesting for the same reason I found the global COVID response interesting. If you tell people who don’t know anything about a subject something and say it with authority, many will believe it, no matter how ridiculous it is. Throw in some advanced alphabet soup degrees, fancy language, and a few charts; it can fool more people. Stifle debate and the free exchange of ideas, and you can be looking at a mass movement into the untrue. It’s scary and dangerous.

This is also why it is so important to have subject experts in the courtroom to clarify and educate jurors so that arguments supported by lousy information can be exposed and the truth brought to the forefront. This is critical to securing justice. Targeted Advisors Group can provide this expertise and the legal insight to discover the truth in almost any area involving an aviation issue.

I don’t fault RFK for having the guy on his show. He didn’t know anything about contrails. He asked some questions and offered some pushback. He also wondered what else could explain finding traces of aluminum in areas without aluminum smelting facilities and what else might explain it besides chemical trails or some other dark government project. It’s not like the government hasn’t lied about stuff before. A free airing of ideas is how you get the truth. The cure for misinformation is not censorship but the free exchange of information. As my brother once said when told that the “science is settled.” “The science of gravity is not settled; how could this be?” At the end of the day, the chem-trail conspiracy is nothing but just that, a conspiracy.
