"The government has finally admitted that chemtrails are real. It's called geoengineering, and it's far worse than anything you imagined. Dane Wigington explains. The post included timestamps with subheadings like, Are All These Strange Streaks in the Sky Chemicals Being Released Into the Air?, Who Is Behind This?, The Mass Death of Insects and Trees Around the Globe, and The Government's Biological Warfare Tests on Unknowing Americans."
"The reactions to the conversation reflected a scornful, if a bit amused, collective attitude toward it. Good thing nobody has hitched themselves or their institutions to this guy, mused The Wall Street Journals Elliot Kaufman. Parodic, commented National Reviews Rich Lowry."
"This ecosystem podcasts, message boards, streams, this app is a schizophrenia machine aimed at disabling conservatives' ability to do basic cognitive mapping. The ultimate goal is epistemic nihilism: "I can't tell what's true or false anymore, so to hell with it,' argued Omri Ceren, an advisor to Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX)."
Tucker Carlson aired an episode promoting the chemtrail conspiracy, labeling geoengineering as real and extremely harmful and featuring Dane Wigington. The episode post on X included timestamps and sensational subheadings alleging chemicals in the sky, global insect and tree die-offs, and covert biological warfare tests on Americans. The broadcast prompted largely scornful reactions from media figures and political advisors. Commentators described the content as parodic and a symptom of an ecosystem of podcasts and message boards that fosters epistemic nihilism and degrades the ability to distinguish truth from falsehood.
