give 'em enough rope

[MICHHAWK]

overunder is in front of his skis today. he should pull out.

Aaaaaand Mich with the killshot!

Odd.

Sez the guy who actually used the words “GIANT cock” in a post. And not for the first time.

BRB just thought up the name of my next sock

Having taken a look at the noose, pulled on it to see how sturdy the limb was; Gaetz decided he would go in another direction with his life.

It's all about making good choices rubes!

My employees often get caught up in the rivalry of getting business/keeping a client. There are times when I decide we aren't going after a project, let the competition have it. Sometimes losing a project when it looks like a loser, is a win.

trumpty plumpty getting 4 more years might be enough for the rubes to wake up and see the writing on the wall.

Thank you for your debt service roadkill rubes.

We are enriched on the unceded finances of the roadkill rube peoples. I ask you to join me in acknowledging the roadkill rube community; their elders both past and present, as well as future generations. The Japhy Empire also acknowledges that it was founded upon the trickling up of their monies. This acknowledgement demonstrates a non-commitment to beginning the process of working to dismantle the ongoing legacies of trickle up economics; cuz the rubes likes it this way.

Are you triggered?

No. Mildly amused that someone older than 17 does that non-ironically, though.

This is fucking awesome, conspiracy rubes everywhere rejoice!

One of yours will soon get to the bottom of this. Cirrus Aviaticus? Please, the rubes are on to this.

It's there, swaying back and forth in the breeze, it looks so harmless, just a neatly tied knot on the end of a rope, just try it on for size, how bad could it be?

Vaccines cause autism. COVID may have been a “plandemic”—one designed to spare Jews and Chinese people. The government is using 5G networks to “control our behavior.” WiFi is making us unhealthy. The FDA is waging a “war on public health.” HIV doesn’t cause AIDS.

At this point, it might be easier to list the conspiracy theories Health and Human Services nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. hasn’t embraced.

But here’s another one for you: The man Donald Trump has selected to run our nation’s health agencies has expressed a strong belief in the existence of “chemtrails.”

In February 2023, Kennedy hosted a chemtrails true believer on his RFK Jr. Podcast, also known as the Defender Show. Some of these comments, surfaced in a review of his shows by The Bulwark, have not been previously reported. A spokesperson for Kennedy declined to comment.

The guest, Dane Wigington of the website GeoEngineering Watch, offered a lengthy presentation on the existence of “chemtrails”—massive amounts of chemicals that nefarious actors are supposedly using commercial airlines to spray into the atmosphere. By the end, RFK Jr. seemed convinced: “I am persuaded by what you’re saying.”

“I think one of the other parts of your story that’s important to understand is the military programs to weaponize climate, because of course they’re doing that,” Kennedy went on. “Of course we know they’re doing that, because they do it with everything else. They do it with chemicals, they do it with biology. Anything that they can weaponize, they’re going to.”

The “chemtrails” theory purports to explain the long-lasting water vapor trails that planes sometimes leave in the sky. In the world of conspiracies and nefarious plots, they’re not believed to be condensation from the aircraft exhaust, but, as Wigington told Kennedy, “in almost all cases, they’re sprayed particulate trails.”

Conspiracy theories for what these supposed chemicals might be vary widely: They’re deliberately making us sick, or they’re trying to control our minds, or they’re trying to control the weather. In Wigington’s telling, they’re a secret effort to battle global warming: “putting tens of millions of tons of aluminum nanoparticles into the atmosphere annually as part of solar radiation management, to block some of the sun’s incoming thermal energy with no consideration of the consequences whatsoever,” he told Kennedy.

“If you’re seeing an aircraft emitting a trail at altitude, even a commercial aircraft, the chances are almost certain that that is a spray dispersion or a fuel additive happening in that aircraft, which is also part of climate engineering operations,” Wigington said. All this, he argued, was being covered up through a complicated plot involving pilots being convinced they were “doing something benevolent” and “an illegal gag order on all the nation’s weathermen.”

Kennedy acknowledged at the show’s onset that the public largely regards chemtrails as tinfoil-hat territory. And in a few brief moments, he pushed back on Wigington. He bristled at the suggestion that “all the environmental groups,” including “WWF, Greenpeace, Sierra Club, Earth Justice, all of them,” were aware of the chemtrail plot but too afraid of government retribution to speak up.

“You know, I gotta push back on that, because I know these environmental leaders and I know their environmental groups,” Kennedy said. “Nobody’s worried about losing their 501(c)(3) by taking a tough stand on an issue. . . . I think that probably the reason they don’t want to do it is that it’s regarded as a crazy person’s issue.”

But Kennedy hastened to assure Wigington that he didn’t think about it that way. “You take a lot of strength to do what you’re doing. You’re obviously very well informed. You’ve researched this stuff very well.” At this point, he acknowledged he was persuaded.

Indeed, by the end of the episode, Kennedy was offering his own theories for why chemtrails whistleblowers hadn’t come forward:

If you are involved with the civilian application of these geoengineering projects, and if they’re being run by the Department of Defense or the intelligence agencies, and they come to you and say, ‘We want you to be part of this, but you need to sign a state secrecy agreement,’ then you’re never gonna talk about it. Because then you go to jail for 20 years and you lose every possession that you have and you don’t get a lawyer either. So anyway, I think that’s an aspect that makes the secrecy explainable. The fact that they are probably militarizing this and weaponizing it to attack other countries, to hurt other countries’ crop production, et cetera.

Kennedy’s taste for conspiracy theories had, for years, left him exiled to the fringes of politics. But his decision to latch on to the Trump campaign over the summer has now opened the door to actual political power. Should he be confirmed as head of HHS, he would oversee a massive bureaucracy, through which he could act on his own conspiratorial instincts.

The big question here is; will Lil Bobby Brainworm be satisfied with eliminating all of the nasty stuff that the military/big pharma industrial monster is putting in the air?

Or will he go a step further and require jet engines to defy thermodynamics and not create condensation trails in the sky?
