Louisiana lawmakers push ‘chemtrail’ ban legislation through the House
A bill that would ban so-called “chemtrails” in Louisiana advanced out of the state House of Representatives on May 29, despite scientific consensus that aircraft exhaust does not modify weather.
State Rep. Kimberly Landry Coates (R-Ponchatoula) defended SB46 on the House floor, saying she is concerned about aircraft leaving white streaks across the sky, which she claims are creating clouds and affecting weather patterns.
During questioning on the House floor, State Rep. Candace Newell (D-New Orleans) asked about the chemicals Coates believes are involved.
“Other than the nanoparticles of aluminum, what else have you found?” Newell said.
“Barium. There is a few, some with long words that I can’t pronounce,” Coates said.
Coates also claimed the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) sends chemicals into clouds to reflect sunlight and cool the Earth’s surface. However, NOAA says it does not conduct weather modification experiments and has no plans to do so.
Coates further suggested that multiple agencies are involved in what she believes is a chemtrail conspiracy in Louisiana.
“Who is doing this?” asked State Rep. Matthew Willard (D-New Orleans).
“There are multiple people. Multiple groups, contractors,” Coates said.
“Who are the contracts with?” Willard asked.
“I’ve seen the documents with at least nine federal agencies,” Coates said.
FOX 8 reached out to Coates for clarification on her statements, but has not received a response.
One of Coates’ claims is that she regularly sees the so-called chemtrails in the sky.
“(Do you see them) once a week?” asked State Rep. C. Denise Marcelle (D-Baton Rouge).
“At least, yes—from my house all the way to the Capitol. So when you look up in the air, you look, watch for the big white lines across the sky,” Coates said.
“So once a week you see people releasing stuff in the air on the way to the Capitol? So I just need to look up? I probably haven’t been looking up,” Marcelle said.
The bill passed the House by a vote of 58-32.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
