I saw a post yesterday about chemtrails and everybody poopooed the thought of secret civilian chemical testing by the US government.
Unfortunately, the Church committee, the 1975 senate committee that outed the US intelligence agencies and US military for their human rights abuses against US civilians and military personnel, received direct testimony from those agencies conducting the experiments that various branches of the US government, without notification or consent, absolutely and admittedly conducted live civilian experiments with harmful chemical, biological and radiological agents and weapons via sea, land and air, beginning at the very latest in the early 1940s and continuing for at least 30 testing years, supposedly ending in the late 1970s after the experiments were exposed by the 1975 Senate committee chaired by Frank Church.

while chemical and biological agents were dropped by air hundreds of times(chemtrails) onto unaware US civilian populations, chemical and biological weapons and toxins were also sprayed over dozens of US cities without notification or consent via Operation sea spray and related operations: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Sea-Spray
these abuses are settled US history.

Read the linked articles, they are not long. A small handful of cases are being carefully exaggerated in the post body to make it seem like a much broader problem.
The following claims are unsupported by the links:
These fairly obvious lies aside, the badly cropped image and the “supposedly ending” should be a dead giveaway that this person is being manipulative. 4/10 misinformation post. Not the worst work I’ve seen op, but kinda meh. I’m sure you can do better.

this is in no way misinformation, there are several verified sources you can look up directly from those Wikipedia links.
the US military and intelligence agencies admitted to conducting hundreds of chemical and biological weapons testing on civilian and military personnel without consent.
those experiments are established fact.
that Senate committee hearing includes all the testimony and documents from the scientists and military officials who conducted these tests.
The nature of these experiments are fully supported by that Senate hearing and the scientists and military personnel who conducted those experiments.
the facts are very clear here.

As usual, a couple careful lies are inserted into a broader, more sensible argument.
Give me your source for hundreds, instead of a small handful that your links had.
Give me your source for weapons, instead of mostly harmless stuff that sickened less than 0.1% of people exposed like your links said.
I’ve been around the block too many times to fall for this bullshit, op. Like I said, 4/10. I’ve seen much, much better than you.
