I saw a post yesterday about chemtrails and everybody poopooed the thought of secret civilian chemical testing by the US government.

Unfortunately, the Church committee, the 1975 senate committee that outed the US intelligence agencies and US military for their human rights abuses against US civilians and military personnel, received direct testimony from those agencies conducting the experiments that various branches of the US government, without notification or consent, absolutely and admittedly conducted live civilian experiments with harmful chemical and biological agents and weapons via sea, land and air, beginning at the very latest in the early 1940s and continuing for at least 30 testing years, supposedly ending in the late 1970s after the experiments were exposed by the 1975 Senate committee chaired by Frank Church.

while chemical and biological agents were dropped by air hundreds of times(chemtrails) onto unaware US civilian populations, chemical and biological weapons and toxins were also sprayed over dozens of US cities without notification or consent via Operation sea spray and related operations:

these abuses are settled US history.

    you can check the PBS article, or one of the other dozen articles the summary on Wikipedia is based on, or read the linked 1976 Senate hearing testimonies yourself.

    there is an abundance of verified evidence from the US government supporting this post.

      Dumb. Doesn’t back up “chemtrails” you’re trying to generalize this too much, yes they have conducted tests seemingly to verify how the spread of such weapons could occur. None directly harmful. Chemtrails as a clickbait has a much more sinister connotation. And none of these sources are much more than validation studies

        “…more sinister connotation…”

        as far as I understand from you guys, chemtrails are secret experiments using harmful chemicals dropped onto non-consenting civilian populations.

        that is exactly what happened, among many other harmful experiments, according to the US government and its scientists who carried out these experiments.

            these are very clear facts with mountains of official, verified evidence supporting them.

            are you confused by something in particular?

              I’m fine with what you’ve presented, I just feel there is a less clickbaity way to say it.

              Edit: scratch that. You said “were.”

                this is a new way clickbait, “clickbait” implies that there’s no substance behind the claim.

                I mentioned this up top, but I made this post as a direct response to a huge thread yesterday about chemtrails, and a gaggle of chortlers ignorantly gleeful about how ridiculous it is than anybody could believe in chemtrails.

                joke’s on them.

                50 years ago, the US government admitted they were using chemtrails to disperse chemicals on non-consenting US populations and figure out how dangerous those chemicals were.

                those are the facts.

                these experiments are completely true, they happened and theit existence is backed up by every form of evidence possible.

                historical fact.

                it doesn’t matter that some people here don’t like facts, that doesn’t change facts.

                this isn’t clickbait, that implies that there’s no substance behind the claim.

                I usef the exact same language those ignorant commenters were using yesterday and pointed out that 50 years ago, the US government admitted they were using chemtrails to disperse chemicals on the non-consenting US population.

                it’s a hard truth, or maybe scary for some people, but it’s a truth.

                these experiments are completely true, they happened and theit existence is backed up by every form of evidence possible.

                historical fact.

                it doesn’t matter that some people here don’t like facts, that doesn’t change any of the facts.

        Congressionally verified US military and intelligence agency testimony, documentation and recordings are solid sources.
