Chemtrails and Compliance
On Wednesday, March 26, 2025, the skies lit up over Missoula and the Bitterroot with an extraordinary amount of what are commonly known as “chemtrails.” Since that day, numerous instances of these visible streaks—sprayed from jets crisscrossing the sky—have blanketed the area with “something” intended for a specific end. That “something” is being imposed on residents—on us—without our understanding, permission, or approval.
The stated goal, of course, is to moderate “global warming” so the Earth doesn’t burn to a cinder due to human activity. Of course. Or so we are told. If, instead, this weather modification leads to catastrophic “global cooling” and turns Earth (or at least our version of it) into a lifeless ice ball for the next gazillion years, that’s apparently the price we pay for playing with forces we don’t understand. Such is the cost of hubris and arrogance.

On February 25, 2025, SB 473 was introduced in the Montana Senate by Bob Phalen (R-SD17) to prohibit such practices. After a few hiccups, the bill passed the Senate and was sent to the House on March 17, where it was referred to the Natural Resources Committee. It had its first House hearing and was reported with concurrence on April 8. A second hearing was scheduled for April 10—but failed to concur, and the bill went down to defeat. It may be revived. Maybe not. You can find out how your “representative” voted by following this link.
It’s generally recognized that “chemtrails” (a.k.a. geoengineering) consist of extremely fine particulates of chemical toxins—fly ash, aluminum, barium, strontium, and likely others. We are being systematically poisoned with the knowing complicity of the federal government and the silence of state and local officials who refuse to speak out.
Both Ravalli County representatives—David Bedey (R-HD86) and Greg Overstreet (R-HD88)—voted against SB 473. Against a bill that would have at least expressed our disapproval of this criminal action. Why?
I emailed them both asking for an explanation. As of submission (Wednesday, April 30), I have received no response. So I’m asking again—publicly. Why?
Maybe they have good reasons. I don’t know. But if they do, they ought to share them with the people who breathe this compromised air.
Mr. Bedey? Mr. Overstreet?
I’m waiting.

If Roger gets an answer I want to know as well. I have been taking this to the Montana Legislature since 2013. They refuse to listen. They don’t understand the differences between chemtrails and cloud seeding, unaware of how dangerous both are. Ever wonder why farms have to use so dang much fertilizer??? Dead dirt. Laden with heavy metals in nanoparticulate form. We all eat that.
They don’t give a dang. They really dont.
Thank you, Jena, for your response and the effort you are putting into this issue. For sure, if I hear anything at all about this, I will contact Roy who will know what to do with the information.
I am willing to bet that there is an obscene amount of money connected with this and until sufficient pressure is put on the legislators to overcome that, nothing will change. Keep up the good work.
