RFK Jr. says DARPA is spraying chemtrails — with no evidence and no basis in fact
During a town hall hosted by TV personality Phil McGraw, known as Dr. Phil, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said that one of the Defense Department’s research and development arms might be spraying Americans with harmful chemicals.
An audience member who identified herself as Emily prompted Kennedy’s comments.
“My biggest concern is the stratospheric aerosol injections that are continuously peppered on us every day,” she said. “Bromium, aluminum, strontium — it’s sprayed in our skies all day long.”
When McGraw asked Emily if she had a specific question, she said, “Yes, how do we stop it?”
Kennedy responded. “That is not happening in my agency. We don’t do that. It’s done, we think, by DARPA,” he said, referring to the Defense Department’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. “And a lot of it now is coming out of the jet fuel. You know, those materials are put in jet fuel. I’m going to do everything in my power to stop it.”

In an increasingly fractured media landscape, truth has been a casualty in the public discussion. Coverage has been warped by the business needs of struggling news organizations, and a significant segment of the public relies on bad-faith outlets that are little more than propagandists. While fact-checking has become routine, some organizations are exploring other ways to combat the trends. And misinformation spewed by AI-driven chatbots has become more of a feature than simply a bug.
