The Tennessee Senate has passed a bill targeting “chemtrails.”

SB 2691/HB 2063, sponsored by Rep. Monty Fritts, R-Kingston, and Sen. Steve Southerland, R-Morristown, passed in the Senate on Monday. The bill has yet to advance in the House.

The bill claims it is “documented the federal government or other entities acting on the federal government’s behalf or at the federal government’s request may conduct geoengineering experiments by intentionally dispersing chemicals into the atmosphere, and those activities may occur within the State of Tennessee,” according to the bill.

The legislation would ban the practice in Tennessee.

“The intentional injection, release, or dispersion, by any means, of chemicals, chemical compounds, substances, or apparatus within the borders of this state into the atmosphere with the express purpose of affecting temperature, weather, or the intensity of the sunlight is prohibited,” the bill reads.

The bill is scheduled to go to the House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee on Wednesday.

    Exactly. This bill is a Trojan horse to solidify the effects of global warming so that the rich and elite can leave the planet and the rest of us behind to burn and rot.

      This is so explicitly evil that it sounds too ridiculous to be true. But I’m far too familiar with capitalists and the republican party to say it’s definitely not true.

        That was just a best guess, I’m not saying thats fact or anything but

        Kinda seems to be the gig? Rich people don’t like other not rich people. Their lives are too different. If they can automate most of their shit and rope in enough socially inept super geniuses to follow their path, what’s to stop them from succeeding with their friends and maybe some heavily devoted slaves to boot?

        They always come up with these wild ass stories about democrats and their master plans for the world but I really really think the fucks are projecting.

          Nah, you’re absolutely barking up the right tree. We have some real supervillains out there. Can’t trust em, but we can eat em.
