Residents across multiple U.S. states have reported an unsettling sight: a mysterious “toxic” fog rolling through, carrying not just an eerie vibe but a pungent, chemical-like odor. Officials are scratching their heads while conspiracy theorists are thinking this might just be the end of the world – either at the hands of our own government in a secret biological warfare experiment – or from foreign adversaries.

According to a report in Gateway Pundit, witnesses have reported an unusual stench reminiscent of chemicals or fireworks in large swaths of fog where they live. This has been documented and posted online in several states: California, Florida, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.

Some folks have reported getting flu-like symptoms after having a brief exposure to the fog. A Florida resident who spoke to the Daily Mail said, “Within about and hour, I kept sneezing over and over for about three hours, and my eyes were really puffy. I got very warm and I felt like I had a fever, and my stomach was cramping.”

Panic is spreading faster than the fog itself, despite the usual reassurances from officials and so-called “experts” insisting there’s no immediate threat. But how do they know? Are these the same folks spinning PR for the mysterious drones hovering across the country – also labeled “no immediate threat” without a shred of explanation about their origins or purpose?

The “no immediate threat” promise is something the government always likes to say – until it’s too late. Or until they get caught and actually have to tell us the truth.

The Biden’s National Weather Service (NWS) has tried to explain saying that the smelly fog can be from fog that has absorbed or trapped polluted air near the earth’s surface (car exhaust, industrial emissions, airborne chemicals, etc.) But with so many people experiencing this toxic fog phenomenon – and for the first time – most are not buying that explanation.

Can you really blame Americans for losing their minds? The government treats the truth like it’s classified intel – never to be shared.

Stay tuned for updates. Or don’t. Honestly, it might be better not to know.
