Environmental Protection Agency Director Lee Zeldin has announced he will release all the information the EPA has on geoengineering and contrails.
Zeldin’s announcement comes just days after Augustus Doricko, the CEO of Rainmaker, a weather modification company, revealed that planes had released silver iodide in the atmosphere in Texas two days prior to the fatal floods that have claimed over 100 lives.
The EPA Director wrote on X, “The Trump EPA is committed to total transparency.”
He added, “I tasked my team at EPA to compile everything we know about contrails and geoengineering to release to you now publicly. I want you to know EVERYTHING I know about these topics, and without ANY exception!”

Per NBC News:
The head of the Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday appeared to nod to conspiracy theories that have swirled around recent extreme weather events, directing people to the agency’s website for science-based information on geoengineering and contrails.
In a post on X, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said that people “have legitimate questions about contrails and geoengineering, and they deserve straight answers.”
“We’re publishing everything EPA knows about these topics on these websites,” he wrote in a news release Thursday that promised “total transparency with the American public.”
“EPA shares the significant reservations many Americans have when it comes to geoengineering activities,” he said.
United States Secretary of HHS Robert F. Kennedy Jr. responded to Zeldin’s post and wrote, “I’m so proud of my friend Lee Zeldin and President Donald Trump for their commitment to finally shatter the Deep State Omerta regarding the diabolical mass poisoning of our people, our communities, our waterways and farms, and our purple mountains, majesty.”
The United States government has a long history of geoengineering.
In 1946, the U.S. government, along with General Electric, launched the Project Cirrus, which aimed to cloud seed a hurricane.
Decades later, in 1967, the U.S. military launched Operation Popeye, a cloud-seeding operation that created monsoon rains in Vietnam to disrupt the enemy’s movements on the Ho Chi Minh Trail.
Fast forward to today, private companies are conducting cloud seeding operations across the United States.
