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.

Wikipedia is not a credible source

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works -3 points 1 month ago

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.

That you tell everyone to go look at and find themselves as a way for hand waving away your weak and sensational claims.

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works -3 points 1 month ago

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

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.
