Geoengineering pollution

October 16, 2026 by Guest Post Leave a Comment

by Roger Mitchell, Stevensville

Opposition to the Sheep Creek Mine is nearly universal in Ravalli County. Residents who see the danger of allowing a potential source of pollution adversely affecting the local environment and economy are making their voices heard. This is good and I am pleased to be one of those voices.  

However, there is another source of pollution which is being deliberately imposed on us about which there is little uproar made, i.e, geoengineering, specifically, the highly visible phenomenon of jet planes criss-crossing our skies, spewing out toxic chemicals and elements everywhere, which eventually settle down to the earth, poisoning whatever they touch—water, land, plants, animals, even our lungs as we breathe in the infected air. Cloud seeding, the injection of silver iodide with the intention of causing rain, is included and is quickly becoming a lucrative business for companies like Rainmaker, whose website shouts the slogan, “Make rain. Make snow. Make Earth habitable.”  

Wasn’t Earth habitable before modern technology?  

Sheep Creek is blatant. Geoengineering is insidious. They are both toxic. Everyone opposed to Sheep Creek Mine ought to be opposed to geoengineering. To shrug it off as a “conspiracy theory” only does disservice to the truth. Something IS being sprayed into our skies, and I want it to stop. That is my sky. And yours. 

I have started building a local group to accomplish this goal and encourage you to join me. Email me at: zinsser@protonmail.com or visit this link to sign up–https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/XkRzPk4.
