Louisiana Has Passed a Bill to Ban Chemtrails

Newsweek – A bill that would ban "chemtrails" has passed in the Louisiana state House of Representatives, clearing the way for it to go to the state Senate.

Republican state Representative Kimberly Landy Coates defended the bill, which passed 58 votes to 32.

The existence of chemtrails is a conspiracy theory which claims that the government or another secretive organization is using commercial or military aircraft to release chemicals or metals into the atmosphere, visible in the white lines aircraft leave behind in the sky. People have claimed these are used for a range of things from weather modification to mind control.

The scientific consensus, as explained by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is that the white lines observed behind aircraft are contrails — condensation trails — which form when hot exhaust from jets meets cold, humid air at high altitudes. The EPA states these are a natural result of flight and pose no risk to weather patterns.

Federal agencies, including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), have publicly denied undertaking or planning any weather modification experiments such as those described by chemtrail advocates.

Despite this, some lawmakers in different states have advanced legislation about so-called chemtrails and health secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. has spoken about them.

Louisiana has been on fire lately. They let 10 convicts awaiting trial in New Orleans walk out of a hole in the side of the jail. Another inmate escaped a separate prison 30 minutes north of New Orleans. Derek Carr retired out of the god damn blue. Meanwhile, the politicians in charge of the lawless state that is Louisiana have banned together to put their foot down on chemtrails once and for all. Priorities are in order. Louisiana is in great hands.

Of all the conspiracy theories that could turn out to be true, chemtrails might be the funniest. Like if we got an audio leak of George Bush in 2004 in a meeting with the FAA outlining his detailed plan to spray the city of New Orleans to create Hurricane Katrina. "Thank you guys so much for 9/11. It was a smashing success. Now for my next act, I have the perfect plan to wipe out the ghettos, and make good on a favor I owe to Big Oil"

Or something like that. I don't know if there are any prevailing Hurricane Katrina conspiracy theories out there. But if chemtrail people were proven to be correct beyond a shadow of a doubt, that might just be the nail in the coffin for America. At that point, I think everybody else would just give up. If the conspiracy theory people were right about chemtrails, then who the fuck knows what else they were right about.

"You know what, sure. 9/11 was an inside job. We should have listened when you showed me that folded dollar bill. The Holocaust never happened. JFK's limo driver shot him in the face. You were right about everything. It's your guy's country now. Do whatever you want with it. I'll be getting fat as shit watching Suits re-runs until I die in my bed and have to be lifted out of my home by a crane Bonnie Grape style."

Personally I've always been pretty satisfied with the "contrails are condensed water from an aircraft" explanation, but hey, I haven't done a lick of research either. I simply choose to spend my energy on things other than worrying about what the lines in the sky are. I'm pretty comfortable living a life where I ignore all conspiracy theories in general. But maybe Concerned Citizen is right. Who am I to say this robot voice TikTok of something "Chemtrail Pilot Whistleblower" said isn't totally legit? RFK Jr. responded to him and everything.

How would banning chemtrails actually work? Apparently pilots can kind of control whether or not their planes leave trails behind by flying at different altitudes. But they're not going to do that. They're just going to keep flying like normal. I don't think Louisiana can arrest a plane that flies overhead and lands in California. Are they going to start mailing fines to Spirit Airlines? Are they gonna start shooting down commercial flights out of mid-air? Imagine this law goes into effect and the major airline companies just start refusing to fly in and out of Louisiana airports. Banning chemtrails could end up crippling the state's economy beyond repair. Idk I'm just spitballing here. But one thing is for sure. If this law ever did go into effect, the FBI is going to be fielding endless calls from pissed off dudes in Shreveport demanding they meet American Airlines Flight 241 at its destination and haul the pilot off to Guantanamo Bay for a violent and painful interrogation. Good luck enforcing that one, Louisiana.
