Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called chemtrails a crime – is he right?

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has just vowed to stop the crime of chemtrails! Take a look at what chemtrails are all about, and find out what the facts really are!

 

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. vows to stop the crime of chemtrails!

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. vowed to stop the crime of chemtrails, in response to a video on X (formerly Twitter), which purportedly shows a whistleblower pilot speaking about chemtrails.

Here is an excerpt of the article, which is long and (intentionally?) confusing, so feel free to skip to the next part for the facts!

Concerned Citizen : “I call them tanker terminators – we are paid more than any other pilot”

Chemtrail Pilot Whistleblower.

I’m convinced the majority of them are remotely operated – the tech obviously exists & there’s way too many.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. : We are going to stop this crime.

This came after RFK Jr. suspended his US Presidential aspirations for a role in Donald Trump’s campaign. Donald Trump also said, on Sunday, that RFK Jr. would tackle health issues in a potential future Trump Administration.

His response suggests that a potential Trump Administration will “stop” that crime. Over 3 million people saw his reply, at the time I wrote this article.

Why Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is wrong about chemtrails!

In this article, I will go through some of the key claims about chemtrails, and share with you what the facts really are!

Fact #1 : Chemtrails do not exist

The term “chemtrails” refers to the belief that condensation trails (contrails) left in the sky by high-flying aircraft are actually chemical or biological agents being deliberately spread for various nefarious purposes.

Chemtrail conspiracists believe that governments or corporations are using chemtrails to make people sick, control the population, test biological or chemical weapons, or change the weather.

The truth is – chemtrails do not exist. The white trails you see behind airplanes flying at high altitudes are contrails – short for condensation trails.

Contrails are usually trails of water vapour from aircraft engines that can condense into ice crystals inextremely cold air. Such engine contrails generally form at high altitudes – usually above 8,000 metres (26,000 feet), where the air temperature is below −36.5 °C (−34 °F), but can also form at lower altitudes if the air is cool and moist.

Contrails can also be triggered by changes in the air pressure over the wing surface, or in wingtip vortices. They can also form at the tips of rotating propellers. Such contrails are usually seen at low altitudes, particularly when the ambient humidity is high.

For example, you can see contrails forming at the tips of this Curtiss P-40 Warhawk’s propellers. Obviously, this antique warbird isn’t being used to spray chemicals or toxins through its propellers!

Fact #2 : Contrails can last a long time

According to atmospheric scientists, such contrails can dissipate after a short time, or persist for a long time – it all depends on the atmospheric conditions the plane is flying through.

If the air is very dry, contrails will not form, or will be short-lasting. But if the air is humid and cold, the water vapour will immediately condense into ice particles, which can persist for a long time.

Conspiracists insist that contrails persist for a long time in the sky because they contain chemicals or toxins that are used to control people’s minds, or make them sick. But that wouldn’t make sense, because those chemicals or toxins are persisting in the air for hours, instead of dispersing to affect people below.

Real villains who actually fund chemtrail missions will want the chemicals or toxins to quickly disperse to both avoid detection, and to rapidly affect the people below. They wouldn’t want the chemicals or toxins to stay impotently for hours high in the sky.

After all, letting the chemicals or toxins stay in the sky for a long time will let people on the ground get away from the danger zone, get under shelter, or put on protective gear – defeating the nefarious plan.

Interestingly, many of these chemtrail conspiracists do not run away, get under shelter, or put on protective gear whenever they see what they call “chemtrails”. Instead, they take photos and videos to post on social media. You have to wonder – is that what people normally do when they are being gassed???

Fact #3 : It’s silly to spray chemicals so high in the sky

It is also silly for any nefarious government or corporation to spray chemicals or toxins or mind control drugs so high in the sky.

Wind speeds increase with altitude. At normal flight altitude, the wind can actually reach speeds of 200 km/h or more. So anything that is sprayed at such a high altitude will get blown to a completely different area.

That’s why crop-dusters fly close to the ground – to ensure that the pesticide or herbicide only hits the targeted area, and not get blown elsewhere. Similarly, the US Air Force and US Army used low-flying aircraft, helicopters, and even armoured personnel carriers (APC) to spray Agent Orange during the Vietnam War.

On top of that, chemicals or toxins released at such high altitudes will get diluted as it disperses into the air. By the time it reaches the ground (if it ever does), it would be in really low concentrations. That’s the same reason why aircraft are allowed to dump fuel to reduce weight in emergency situations – tons of jet fuel can be dumped at high altitude because it will dissipate before reaching the ground.

Fact #4 : Contrails existed decades before chemtrail conspiracy

The chemtrail conspiracy only started in the late 1990s, after the US Air Force published a 1996 report about weather modification. However, such contrails were seen for decades before the first conspiracist even thought of the concept.

Large, long-lasting contrails have been seen since aircraft were able to fly at high altitudes, and were prominent during World War 2, when contrails were often seen during high-altitude bombing missions.

Flight crews on such high-altitude bombing missions have personally seen those contrails forming from their own aircraft, as well as aircraft around them. So have people on the ground.

Fact #5 : Contrails form over uninhabited areas too

Contrails are seen forming even when the aircraft is flying over open oceans and uninhabited areas.

Why would any nefarious government or corporation spray chemicals or biological agents over oceans and uninhabited areas? Surely they don’t plan to control the minds of fishes, or wildlife?

Fact #6 : It would be impossible to cover up such a conspiracy

Any large-scale program to spray chemicals or toxins using high-altitude aircraft would be impossible to conceal.

It would require many tens of thousands of people in the aviation industry to work in perfect unison to cover up an industry-wide conspiracy to spray people with chemicals or biological agents. Not only would the pilots and engineers be willing participants, it would require airlines to sacrifice space, weight and money on their flights to load those chemicals or biological agents.

Thousands more would also need to manufacture, store and transport those chemicals and biological agents, while thousands more people working at airports will need to assist in the storage and loading of those chemicals and biological agents.

It is inconceivable that so many people would be such willing participants in any program that would harm other people, including their family and friends. In truth – such a conspiracy would have been exposed within hours, if not days.

Is Bill Gates using chemtrails to spread monkeypox?!

Is Bill Gates using chemtrails to spread monkeypox in major cities?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

 

Claim : Bill Gates is using chemtrails to spread monkeypox!

People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claims that a whistleblower at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has revealed that Bill Gates is using chemtrails to spread monkeypox in major cities!

Here is an excerpt of the (intentionally?) rambling and confusing article. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

Whistleblower: Bill Gates Seeding Monkeypox in Major Cities via Chemtrails

A disturbing revelation has emerged from within the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, as a whistleblower comes forward to expose a plan to use the existing chemtrails operation to unleash the next pandemic.

Recommended : Did Mpox Clade 1b hit Singapore with 9-10 cases so far?!

 

Truth : Bill Gates is not using chemtrails to spread monkeypox!

This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : There is no whistleblower

Let me start by pointing out that there is no whistleblower scientist at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

If a high-level employee at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation actually blew the whistle on a conspiracy to spread monkeypox (now known as mpox), it would have been covered widely by the mainstream media. There would also have been massive outrage not only by the public, but also public health officials. In fact, such a shocking revelation would have triggered criminal investigations across the world!

Yet, there has been no media coverage, no outraged public health officials or public, not even a single criminal investigation. That’s because it never happened, and the story was completely made up!

Unsurprisingly, The People’s Voice article provided no evidence that such a whistleblower exists, never mind actually proving the claims he/she made.

Fact #2 : Monkeypox cannot spread through chemtrails

The whole concept of using airplanes to spread monkeypox  through chemtrails is utter nonsense. Any genuine whistleblower scientist would know it’s impossible to spread monkeypox by spraying it from 10 kilometres up in the sky.

For one thing – human transmission of mpox occurs mainly through direct contact with the infectious skin, or other lesions in the mouth or on genitals. According to the WHO, it can also spread through very close contact, like:

  • face-to-face (talking or breathing)
  • skin-to-skin (touching or vaginal/anal sex)
  • mouth-to-mouth (kissing)
  • mouth-to-skin contact (oral sex or kissing the skin)
  • respiratory droplets or short-range aerosols from prolonged close contact

In other words – you cannot spread mpox by spraying it from tens of thousands of feet up in the sky. Unsurprisingly, The People’s Voice article did not provide any evidence to back up its “fact checked” claim.

Fact #3 : Chemtrails do not exist

The term “chemtrails” refers to the belief that condensation trails (contrails) left in the sky by high-flying aircraft are actually chemical or biological agents being deliberately spread for various nefarious purposes.

The truth is – chemtrails do not exist. The white trails you see behind airplanes flying at high altitudes are contrails – trails of water vapour from aircraft engines that condenses into ice crystals in the extremely cold air.

In fact, these contrails have been seen since aircraft were able to fly at high altitudes, and were prominent during World War 2, when contrails were often seen during high-altitude bombing missions.

On top of that, it would require many tens of thousands of people in the aviation industry to work in perfect unison to cover up an industry-wide conspiracy to spray people with chemicals or biological agents like mpox. In truth – such a conspiracy would have been exposed within hours, if not days.

Unsurprisingly, The People’s Voice article did not provide any evidence of an industry-wide conspiracy to spray major cities with monkeypox, never mind actual evidence that Bill Gates was involved in such a nefarious plot.

Fact #4 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Fake News

The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.

Founded as Your News Wire in 2014, it was rebranded as NewsPunch in November 2018, before becoming The People’s Voice. A 2017 BuzzFeed report identified NewsPunch as the second-largest source of popular fake news on Facebook that year.

Its articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should never share anything from NewsPunch / The People’s Voice.  Here are some of its fake stories that I fact checked earlier:

Are Rohingyas using chemicals to freshen old vegetables to sell?!

Are Rohingyas using chemicals to make old vegetables look fresh, so they can sell to unsuspecting customers?!

Take a look at the viral video, and find out what the facts really are!

 

Claim : Rohingyas Use Chemicals To Freshen Old Vegetables For Sale!

People are sharing a video of a man showing how he freshens old vegetables by dipping them into a chemical solution, so he can sell them as fresh vegetables!

The video has gone viral on social media, and is being shared on WhatsApp with messages like these:

The Rohingas population there is huge and they sell veggies like that
I’ve been to selayang market with H

Rohingas are protected by the UNCHR. They even have a big international school

The Rohingas do not buy the veggies

The foreigners and Malaysians buy the veggies
Especially the small biz people
Because it’s cheap

Watch how vegetables are made fresh by using chemicals in 105 seconds. That’s why arbuda (cancer) is growing. In 105 seconds, vegetables and fruits are freshened by cancer-causing chemicals.

THIS TECHNIQUE IS USED BY THE ROHINGYAS IN SELAYANG MARKETS WHO SOLD VEGETABLE ON THE ROADSIDES.

Claim : Rohingyas Are Not Using Chemicals To Freshen Old Vegetables!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by people to cast aspersions on the marginalised Rohingyas who are refugees in Malaysia, and many other countries, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : This Is An Old + Edited Video

First, let me just point out that this is an old video that was edited for length, from its original run time of 4 minutes 7 seconds to just 1 minutes 42 seconds.

The earliest version appeared to have been uploaded to YouTube on 23 July 2021, by a Telugu channel called Mana Family Trends. Back then, it went viral on WhatsApp as well.

The shorter edited video first appeared on LinkedIn in middle of March 2023. It went viral there, and was reposted to Twitter on Friday, 17 March 2023, where it blew up.

Fact #2 : Original Video Did Not Refer To Rohingyas

The original video, and the newer but shorter video, did not refer to the Rohingyas in their description or titles.

See how dried leafy vegetables are made by dipping them in chemicals / వాడిపోయిన ఆకు కూరలు కెమికల్లో ముంచితె ఎలా తయారవుతున్నాయో చూడండి

This is 105 sec live video of how vegetables and fruits are freshened by washing them in chemicals. In just a minute, the vegetables look fresh. This is the reason for the increase in critical illnesses nowadays.

A two minute real life horror story. 😱

Fact #3 : The Video Was Recorded In India

The video was recorded in India, and not Malaysia. So it has absolutely nothing to do with the Rohingya refugees here in Malaysia.

Fact #4 : It Appears To Be A Spreader Sticker Activator Demonstration

The video does not show farmers freshening their old vegetables by dipping them into a chemical bath.

Rather, the video appears to show a salesperson from an agrochemical company demonstrating the wetting effect of a spreader sticker activator.

Spreader sticker activator is meant to be mixed with other chemicals, because it is inert and works as an adjuvant (see Fact #5). Therefore, you won’t see anyone dip their produce into the spreader sticker activator, as seen in the viral video, except in demonstrations like this.

Fact #5 : Many Agrochemical Products Contain Spreader Sticker Activator

Spreader Sticker Activator is a silicone-based chemical compound that is mixed with pesticides, herbicides or fertilisers to boost their performance by:

  • reducing surface tension, to allow for rapid wetting and absorption
  • improving the adhesion of those chemicals
  • opening the pores for faster absorption

By using a sticker spreader activator, you can use less chemicals and yet, they are more effective and last longer, saving you money. Hence, many agrochemical products already come with sticker spreader activator mixed in as an adjuvant.

Fact #6 : Spreader Sticker Activators Are Considered Biologically Inert

Spreader sticker activators are considered to be biologically inert, and are therefore not registered by the US EPA. There is also no OSHA hazard classification.

There is currently no evidence that spreader sticker activators can cause cancer, or any other disease.

That said, its safety profile is based on the fact that only a small amount is mixed with other chemicals. It is not meant to be applied alone to plants, never mind used to soak them.

Is There Poison In COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test Kits?!

Is there a poison called sodium azide in COVID-19 rapid test kits?!

Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

 

Claim : There Is Poison In Rapid Antigen Test Kits!

The Internet is now abuzz with the warning by the National Capital Poison Center that COVID-19 rapid antigen test kits contain a poison called sodium azide.

“Sodium azide is a very potent poison,” says the National Capital Poison Center, which is not a government agency, “and ingestion of relatively low doses can cause significant toxicity.”

“When swallowed, sodium azide can cause low blood pressure, dizziness, headache, and heart palpitations. In more severe cases, seizures, loss of consciousness, and death may occur.”

Rapid Antigen Test Poison Fears : Only Dangerous If Misused!

This is yet another example of collective alarmism, based on a relatively innocuous warning by the National Capital Poison Center (NCPC) – an independent, non-profit organisation.

For those who want a quick summary, here are the key points :

  1. Sodium azide is used in some (but not all) rapid antigen test kits as a preservative, in very small amounts.
  2. Sodium azide is poisonous, but the amount is too small in rapid test kits to pose a real danger if accidentally swallowed by adults.
  3. NCPC never said that rapid antigen test kits are dangerous or poisonous, only that the buffer solution in those kits should not be swallowed or dripped into eyes, nose or mouths.

 

Rapid Antigen Test Poison Fears : What You Need To Know…

For those who want to learn more, here is what you need to know about sodium azide – the “poison” in the COVID-19 rapid antigen test kits.

Fact #1 : NCPC Was Warning About Potential Misuse

The NCPC article on sodium azide in COVID-19 rapid antigen test kits was first published on 18 January 2022, but only went viral 6-7 weeks later.

The author, medical toxicologist Maryann Amirshahi, did NOT claim that these COVID-19 rapid antigen test kits are poisonous, and should therefore be avoided.

She only warned about the dangers of MISUSING the buffer liquid inside rapid antigen test kits. Specifically, the potential dangers of accidentally swallowing it, or dripping it onto eyes or nose or skin.

Some people may accidentally confuse them with medications and apply the drops into their eyes or nose, which may cause irritation. People also may spill it on their skin which can cause skin irritation or chemical burns. Small children may accidentally swallow the contents of the vial or choke on the vial’s small cap.

Fact #2 : Sodium Azide Is Used As Buffer Preservative

In COVID-19 rapid antigen test kits, sodium azide is used as a preservative, to prevent bacterial growth. If you read the instruction sheet of your rapid antigen test kit, you may see warnings like this :

The buffer contains <0.1% sodium azide as a preservative which may be toxic if ingested. When disposed of through a sink, flush with a large volume of water.

Fact #3 : Sodium Azide Only Used In Some Rapid Antigen Test Kits

Sodium azide is not used in all rapid antigen test kits – manufacturers may opt to use other preservatives, like ProClin 300.

If you are worried, you can check the active ingredient list of the test kit. It should tell you whether sodium azide is used in the buffer solution.

Fact #4 : We Should Avoid Contact With Buffer Solution

At no point in time during the RAT / RTK test process, are you supposed to consume the buffer solution, or come into contact with it.

To avoid accidental consumption, the buffer solution is kept is a sealed squeeze bottle or test tube, which is to be disposed off in the provided biological waste pouch / plastic bag.

Perhaps the greatest risk of contact is when people do not follow instructions, and dip their swabs into the buffer solution before swabbing the nasopharynx and/or throat. Or unsupervised children may drip some into their mouth for a taste.

Fact #5 : Toxicity Depends On The Dose

To be clear, sodium azide is a potentially deadly chemical, but we need to remember that the toxicity of any chemical depends on the dose.

Even if you accidentally touch or consume the buffer, please do NOT panic.

As mentioned earlier, the buffer solution may not even contain sodium azide. Even if sodium azide is present, it is a very small amount – less than 0.1% of buffer volume.

There is usually only about 0.35 ml of buffer solution in each test kit, so we are talking about 0.0035 ml (65 mg) of sodium azide.

Based on its LD50 dose of 20 mg/kg (rabbit), a child weighing 10 kg will only be at significant risk on consuming 200 mg of sodium azide – that’s the amount of sodium azide in 3 buffer bottles.

An adult weighing 50 kg will need to consume about 15 buffer bottles to be at significant risk of toxicity. The NCPC article also states as much :

Fortunately, the amount of sodium azide in most rapid antigen kits is much lower than the amount expected to cause poisoning if swallowed by an adult.

Nevertheless, you should still avoid consuming, or coming into contact with the buffer solution. And obviously, you should never let a child handle the test kit!
