GUEST OPINION: Chemtrails in Clearwater County | Community News | clearwatertribune.com
In the past two years, COVID has opened the eyes for many individuals. I was naive in my belief that the United States was the greatest country in the world and that it would always do what was best for the citizens. I still love my country but my rose colored glasses have been removed. I have always ignored conspiracy theories and assumed most of them were ridiculous. I think many of us through good faith have ASSUMED. One of the biggest conspiracy theories today is the subject of chemtrails. I automatically assumed it was a silly idea and did not research the theory. Anyone spraying chemicals in the atmosphere would be poisoning themselves and their families. Who would do such a thing? I don’t have all the answers, but after witnessing the spraying first hand this fall, I started researching chemtrails. As a community we need to be aware that our atmosphere is being sprayed. Not only has the government been spraying for years, the State of Idaho just passed legislation this spring to allow cloud seeding and further research, with little restrictions and NO LIABILITY.
Because Edward Snowden released information about the classified project of cloud seeding, President Obama was forced to admit the existence of cloud seeding in 2014 and stated, “Geoengineering is necessary for our country’s agricultural industries and keeps millions of Americans employed every year. Our efforts in high altitude microwave technology at HAARP combined with the innovations in cloud seeding technology introduced by the jet fuel industry gives the American People a level of control over the elements unprecedented in the history of mankind. American Scientists are quickly approaching capabilities which will not only curb global climate change, but also to put an end to disastrous hurricanes and typhoons.”
After discovering this statement, I researched information about what they were spraying and the effects. United States Patent 5,003,186 filed March 26, 1991 describes the process of cloud seeding and a few of the chemicals used like Thorium Dioxide and Aluminum Dioxide. After a large volcano ruptured in early 2000’s, Scientists discovered that Sulfur Dioxide also cooled the earth. If you look at pictures of the sky after a volcano rupture, you may recognize the pink/orange/red skies that we witnessed last week. When we have sunsets in the eastern sky, without any large forest fires in the region, it would be reasonable to assume there were gases or chemicals in the air causing the red clouds.
Several months ago I visited Barney’s at closing time. Many of us have noticed the increased air traffic in recent months. Because our air traffic historically has been limited to summer fire fighting, logging or Life Flights, it is very noticeable when it suddenly increases – especially at night. When I left the store, I watched a helicopter flying very low and zigzagging over Chases Flats. At that point, I thought a prisoner might have escaped and started to pay closer attention. It wasn’t too many weeks later, I noticed two large chemtrails in the bright, full moon sky. There were no clouds or wind and they were very visible. Five minutes later I witnessed another low flying plane and I could see the formation of a third trail. When I smelled the chemical it scared me. I took pictures and started monitoring the skies. Within 30 minutes large clouds formed and completely covered the moon. By morning we had low lying fog everywhere and I could smell the sulfur. I don’t know what they sprayed but it caused me to be dizzy the night before. That morning I was congested, my eyes were red and burning, and I developed a bad headache. Later in the day, my eyes were so sensitive to the light that I had to put sunglasses on in fog. I recalled this happened a few weeks ago and it felt like when the Eye Doctor dilated my pupils. I could barely drive.
At this point I started monitoring the sky daily. I do have a video but it’s hard to catch the spraying during the day because of the fog. At night you can see the tiny lights flashing and zigzagging over the valley. Because they blend with the stars, you have to watch for them. If you have been watching the weather, you know the fog hasn’t been normal for our area. If you travel to Lewiston, you may have also noticed that the skies change as you approach Peck. Because we live in a valley, the atmospheric pressure is holding the chemicals down. On overcast days you can smell and taste them. Orofino and the surrounding areas have been sectioned into a grid. If you watch the clouds, low fog, and pink skies, you can follow their pattern of spraying.
How does this affect us? Thorium causes coughing and red eye irritation. It is a known carcinogen, slightly radioactive and intensifies fire. Perhaps this is why there are fires burning down entire towns? Aluminum causes cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, as well as dementia. These two chemicals are listed on the cloud seeding paton. Because I was beyond angry, I decided to contact the Idaho State Government. They would protect us, correct?
The Idaho Legislature passed into law a cloud seeding program with Idaho Power Co and the Idaho Water Resource Board running its operation. Idaho Code 42-4301. The program is called SNOWIE: Seeded and Natural Orographic Wintertime Clouds: The Idaho Experiment. Their public research has revolved around setting flares in the sky with silver iodide. This isn’t toxic but what I have witnessed is spraying – not flares. The Idaho Code offers the general public no protection. They can spray just about anywhere for any reason including for recreational purposes. For example, low snow levels at Bald Mountain! The code also allows them further research with no restrictions and NO LIABILITY: “The act of cloud seeding pursuant to a project funded in whole or in part by the state of Idaho or authorized by the state water resource board shall not be the basis of any claim of liability, including but not limited to trespass or public or private nuisance, and shall not require any state or local permits.” Title 42, Idaho Code.
I have sent a letter to our State Representatives and requested the data on which chemicals are being sprayed. I also requested all the research regarding the safety of spraying such chemicals over the public. I expressed my concern about the open ended legislation as well.
And most importantly, I demanded that they stop spraying until they can show research establishing public safety in spraying over a valley where chemicals are confined. I would encourage all of you to track the spraying and to contact your Local, State and Federal Representatives. This is unacceptable and we are living with the consequences.
