Chemtrails over LA and the OC

What is real? That's the question. Orange County is covered with strange clouds, as is Los Angeles County.

The OC is a crown of sparkling beaches, and one jewel is Dana Point. But it's suddenly overcast and rain is coming out of nowhere (nowhere being chemtrails).

Chemtrails are real?

Documentary filmmaker and activist Matt Landman (actualactivists.com) discusses the sinister motives behind chemtrails and geoengineering.

Through meticulous research and hard scientific evidence, Chemtrails Exposed reveals how powerful global elites, shadowy institutions, and scientific gatekeepers have manipulated the skies above us. Every applicable government agency and most mainstream media outlets claim chemtrails are just a “conspiracy theory.”

They say the lines in the skies are merely harmless “condensation trails” (contrails) that jet aircraft produce with heat high in the atmosphere, not actual emissions that linger for hours as they spread out and form hazy cloud cover.

They say that anyone who asserts that aircraft are spraying us with toxic materials is “crazy.” If this is so,

Why do we see anomalous levels of toxins in rainwater and ambient air samples?
Why are hundreds of scientists and scores of scientific organizations advocating for spraying substances from aircraft and calling it “geoengineering?”
Why is there a world-famous Ph.D. scientist who has, in a long series of peer-reviewed journal articles, made the case for chemtrails and shown detailed evidence of their harmful effects?
Why do we have whistleblowers from the U.S. Air Force and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)?
Why is there is a huge, detailed, chronologically consistent body of evidence supporting the fact that the lines in the sky are part of a global weather modification project with roots going back over 100 years?
This is just scratching the surface. More

Chemtrails: Manhattan Project

Researcher Peter A. Kirby studies chemtrail spraying, a covert program of aerosol geoengineering in our skies. The spraying is related to weather modification and much more.

In 1961, Rear Admiral Luis de Florez advocated making weather control as important in scope as the Manhattan Project, which produced the first atomic bomb, according to Kirby.

Patents show how aerosols put into the atmosphere can be manipulated to modify the weather. Chemtrail spraying is now largely done using remotely flown drones because pilots have become a liability, Kirby asserts.

As evidence for chemtrail spraying, researchers cite massive amounts of barium and aluminum showing up in rainwater samples taken from around the world. Rather than this spraying being used to combat global warming, Kirby asserts there is a more sinister agenda: It is being conducted by a rogue faction of the U.S. military.

For instance, the epic California drought could be caused by chemtrails to bankrupt farmers, at which point monied interests buy up depreciated farmland. But Kirby believes the chemtrail program may be coming to an end due in part to a military incident in October 2013 allegedly involving nuclear devices near Charleston, South Carolina.

In the aftermath of this event, Kirby predicts certain elements will be purged from the military, including those who run the chemtrail program. See Chemtrails Exposed on Activist Post. More

Chemtrails Exposed: A New Manhattan Project (2026)
Chemical trails (persistent aerosol dispersants) are being reported all around the planet. This 2004 research was the first to verify what pilots, air traffic controllers, police, Marines, and tanker crews were reporting. Chemtrails Confirmed reveals the scientists who are working on the project, the Congressman who oversaw America's "exotic weapons" project, and details to understand the synthetic toxic clouds in the sky and the project that produces them.

He defines geoengineering as "the manipulation of the Earth's weather," including the weaponization of the weather to create crises for political or economic gain.

Landman argued that such practices have been covertly going on since at least the late 1800s, referencing a 1891 U.S. government patent for producing rainfall.

"People started to notice it about 30 years ago...when the 'grid patterns' [of aerosol dispersal chemtrails] in the sky started to pick up," Landman explains.

He claims NASA has a daily budget of $80 million for its chemtrail program: "There [are] a lot of nefarious action going on...it's all covert," he states, adding that international participation includes organizations like the United Nations and corporations like General Electric.

He also highlights the UK's recent announcement to invest in geoengineering and the recent reports of England's attempts to dim the sun.

Landman stresses these technologies are toxic, with many methods using heavy metals such as barium and aluminum particulates. He suggests the grand agenda here is to create problems that only the authorities can solve.

"They're creating catastrophes so that they can come in and be the heroes with the solution," Landman says. Despite his concerns, he remains optimistic about the potential for change, stating: "We are winning this war...there is a rising consciousness."

He likens the current situation around chemtrails to the earlier battles against GMOs (genetically modified organisms), suggesting that public awareness can promote societal change.
