Chemtrails

Chemtrails are a baseless conspiracy theory that is almost a required belief for flat Earthers. They claim that the contrails seen behind airplanes are not ice crystals, but instead "chemicals". What chemicals? Why are they spraying them? How can they spray them while keeping themselves safe? Well, you ask such difficult questions. So answers will be forthcoming.

The general approach is to point at contrails and declare that they are really spraying them today. This didn't happen whey this commentator was a kid. It must be part of the Satanic, Masonic, Jesuit, Zionist New World Order. Because reasons.
