Fyi, "chem trails", or "cloud seeding", as it's actually called, is very much real. When you search by it's real name, you'll find programs going back to the 60s. California, for example.

MANY conspiracy theories are based on a shred of truth. UFOs are mostly classified craft(the Blackbird was one, once known as the UFO "Aurora").

Flat Earth was just a group that liked to jokingly entertain crazy ideas for shits and giggles that got coopted by people who took the satire seriously.

We'd do ourselves a great service if we stopped seeing every issue in broad strokes and saw the nuance and context behind it. You're no better with your rant broadly denouncing a wide array of topics in mass.

Most people are talking about contrails, and I've been told that they're full of boron as a means of population control, that it's a new thing because "I don't remember planes doing that when I was younger." Cloud seeding is in the news a decent amount here and it's definitely considered different from the contrails that most every plane leaves.

What's your shred of truth behind reptilians?

What’s your shred of truth behind reptilians?

Oh, well that one's just true. The only falsehood is that the lizard people are evil. They're actually great and epic, and it's the humans who are bad.
