This is exactly what I thought. I'd really like to hear the reasoning behind whoever downvoted this comment.


I'm not one of the downvoters, but:

> they are finally ready to publicly admit to what they have clearly been planning and likely doing secretly for ages

I'm not going to take a post like this seriously unless there's some effort to say who "they" are, and how they advance their schemes. Partly that's because interest group politics are complicated and conspiracies are hard, so a story's not much of an explanation if it leaves out that part.

And partly it's because --- look, I don't think grandparent meant they-the-Jews. But a disturbingly non-negligible portion of the time, people who throw around shadowy "theys" end up meaning the Jews. So the mode makes me personally a bit uncomfortable.


Instantly as well - barely enough time to read the comment.

You'll never get a rational one, because it simply doesn't exist.

This is horrific, the level of hubris it takes to not only do this kind of tinkering, but to come out and say it proudly like it's a reasonable inevitable solution is honestly unfathomably evil.

Frankly I am legitimately scared at what comes next -- it was so clearly being done in secret but on a relatively large scale before if you followed the ScIeNcE via whitepapers, patents, etc...

How bad is it going to be now? And what weird doomsday doctrine are those in charge following behind the scenes to come to the conclusion this is reasonable, and to be ready to come out of the shadows like this? Dark days ahead.


>Dark days ahead.

Of course. they're going to reflect back light. Our skies will literally be darker.


First they were "likely" doing it. Now they've "clearly" been doing it. But lo and behold, after fooling stupid normies for decades they're ready to announce their doomsday device to the public because......? Were the coherent ones who could look up patents ready to drop some truth bombs on the public?


Well up until today I thought it was 'likely', but today given the preponderance of evidence that pointed there the last 15+ years, I now feel OK saying 'clearly'.

You can nitpick and get pedantic on that point if you want - that doesn't change the fact that the 'conspiracy theorists' in this situation were literally pointing out all of the research on "stratospheric aersolozied injections" that indicated the government wanted to do a global experiment to block out the sun, and today they are openly admitting it using the exact same language.

I personally find it incredibly unlikely that they have done 0 research and testing on this prior to this announcement, so I find it reasonable to believe they have clearly done it in some capacity in the past which led to this wider decision. You may not agree, which is fine.

That however does not change the fact that the conspiracy theorists were at least right about the method and mode the government was planning to use to block out the sun -- the only thing you can nitpick about is whether or not it has been done in secret on some scale prior to this announcement.


I think you would have heard howls of protest from global airlines if they were forced into suboptimal routing as part of some grand experiment.

In fact the trend is opposite, towards technology-enabled free-routing of each individual flight.


This would be trivial to prove and impossible to hide.

Get a $50 diffraction grating off of ebay and make a spectrometer out of it and you'll have your answer. Compare the results to the different aerosolcandidatesin your patents and white papers. No conspiracy theorising needed.


Yeah, this is why I can’t take you guys seriously. You take something completely reasonable: researching something that has been publicly proposed for decades and you jumped to loading it with shit like “openly admitting”. Let’s see this preponderance of evidence lol.


It’s amazing to me that we may be so deep in the climate feedback loop that this is literally the only way our civilization survives, and someone has already spent years promoting an insane conspiracy theory to make sure a chunk of the population opposes it. Stuff like this makes me think the human race is trying to kill itself.


if "they" have been doing chemtrails for years to avert climate change, then the conclusion to draw is that "they" are the ultimate source of the insane conspiracy theory. why? if only loons are against it, then the vast majority of people will be inclined to support it. if you didn't do that preperation, you'd have much closer to an even split.

very few people want to be the person yelling at clouds.
