Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is facing intense scrutiny after announcing that his agency is officially investigating “chemtrails”. While scientists emphasize that the lines in the sky are harmless water vapor, the nation’s top health official claims aircraft emissions are secretly masking toxic chemicals—bringing a long-debunked conspiracy theory straight into federal policy. Dr. Debra Houry, a former chief medical officer at the CDC who resigned in protest over Secretary Kennedy’s actions and decisions, tells Erin Burnett RFK, Jr. needs to focus on real contributions to chronic disease, not conspiracy theories.

      To my understanding, (I’m not a physicist) It’s not so much that they wouldn’t work in space as they’d be severely weakened upon entering our atmosphere. It would be both cheaper and more effective to simply use a conventional explosive than it would be to invent a sci-fi super weapon.

          My understanding is that the space lasers of conspiracy theory fame are supposed to be used to control the weather. Got a hurricane in Alabama? It’s because the “globalists” pointed the space laser at a cloud or something. Yeah. These people are fucking nuts.
