Chemtrails and do-nothingism

May 6, 2025 by Guest Post

by Roger Mitchell, Stevensville

On Friday, March 28, 2025, the skies lit up over Missoula and the Bitterroot with an extraordinary amount of what are commonly known as “chemtrails.” Since that day, there have been numerous instances in which these visible streaks of particulates, sprayed out of high-flying jets criss-crossing the sky in every direction, have been noticeable, blanketing the area with “something” which is meant for an end purpose, a goal. That “something” is being imposed on the residents of the area, i.e., us, without our understanding, permission, and approval. The end goal, of course, is to moderate “global warming” so that the earth doesn’t burn to a cinder due to human activity.  

Of course. Or so we are told. 

On February 25, 2025, a bill, SB 473, was introduced into the Montana Senate by Bob Phalen (R) to prohibit such practices and events. After a few hiccups, this bill passed the Senate and was sent to the House for consideration on March 17, wherein it was referred to the Committee for Natural Resources and had its first hearing in the House chamber. The committee reported to the House on April 08 of concurrence and the 2nd hearing was scheduled in the House on April 10, which failed to concur, and the bill went down to defeat. It may be brought back and rescheduled for another hearing. Maybe not. I don’t know. 

It is generally recognized that “chemtrails,” a.k.a. geo-engineering, are composed of extremely fine particulates of chemical toxins, such as fly ash, aluminum, barium, strontium, e.g., and probably a host of others. We are being systematically poisoned due to the increasingly common dumping of toxic waste into the atmosphere by the powers-that-be, with the knowing complicity of the federal government and the silence of state and local governments which refuse to speak out against the practice.  

Both Ravalli County House representatives, David Bedey and Greg Overstreet, voted against SB473. Voted AGAINST this bill which would have, at the very least, registered our disapproval and displeasure at this criminal action. Why? This is what I wanted to know, so I sent them an email asking for an explanation of their actions. As of the date of submission (Wednesday, 04/23) I have not received an answer, therefore I will ask them again, this time publicly. Why? Why did you refuse to stand up against the evil which is being thrust upon us against our will?  

Now, it could be that there are very good reasons for their position. I don’t know. I can’t say. However, if that is the case, they ought to put them forward for us, the people who breathe the air which is being compromised, to see. After all, they are “our” representatives, duly elected to serve their constituents. Aren’t they?  

Mr. Bedey? Mr. Overstreet? I’m waiting for a response.

    I have only one piece of advice for you Mr. MItchell.
    Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak, ( or submit a letter to the editor in your case,) and remove all doubt.

    Roger,
    You are wise to be concerned about chemtrails, but they are much closer than the high-altitude version you mentioned. They are right here in our yards. Every time my wife dries laundry in our Maytag on a cold winter day, there is a terrifying chemtrail right by our house where that warm, moist air comes out of our dryer vent. Scary, right?

      Dang it, I have chemtrails at my house too! They do seem to appear more in the winter than they do in the summer though. 🙂

      I assume this is sarcasm, as the warm moist air which comes out of your dryer vent is composed entirely of water vapor–warm, moist air meeting up with cold, dry air.

      Get real. This is not a valid comparison. If you really were concerned about this, you would tell your wife to stop putting wet clothes into her dryer, but I’d be willing to bet my paycheck that you don’t have what it takes.

        Of course it is sarcasm. I have absolutely no concerns about the condensation at my dryer vent, just as I have no concern when the same condensation happens at 30,000 feet.

          Obviously, we do not agree and since you appear to be uninterested in an adult debate on the subject, I will not waste any more effort to convince you.
          I am done and will not respond to any more of your meaningless, foolish statements.

            I’m just wondering if the group that is spraying chemtrails is the same group that is operating the Jewish space lasers? If so, do they both work out of the same pizza parlor basement that runs the cabal of Hillary Clinton supporters that attempted to steal the 2020 election? Someone should get the National Enquirer on this right away!

            Roger, there’s nothing to debate. Chemtrails are a 30-year-old conspiracy theory that makes no sense and is debunked by a simple understanding of high-school physical science. Wanna talk about fluoride?
