Last couple years I noticed while driving around at night that there’s no insects. I used to have to clean my headlights and hood every gas fill up, now I never have to. Also noticed zero ticks on my farm or mosquitos last year. Every year before that I would always get ticks and you couldn’t be outside at sunset because of millions of mosquitos.
Is anyone else concerned about the constant spraying of chemicals blanketing our sky and blocking the sun and the long term ramifications. I believe this is what is killing our insect population. Doesn’t take much aluminum accumulation in soil to create total crop failures either.
The sky is never a deep rich blue like when I was growing up, it is always white washed at this point.
I have a bug zapper INSIDE my back door. It wont last 15 minutes outside before shorting out from all the bugs. I wore safety glasses last year while riding around in my ranger due to all the grasshoppers. No shortage down here
I guess you never been to the beach/ocean but the picture was from window seat of plane today. It shows a complete blanketing of chemtrails below and above the plane
I see those trails once in awhile. Right now nothing but blue sky outside. I don't much like all the farm chemicals. Since Iowa is pretty much one big cornfield most of the state gets covered with the stuff every year. But it sure ain't killing the dang ticks!
Wasn’t really asking if you believed if they were real or not just assumed by now everyone knew what was up. As of today 31 states passed bills to ban them, problem with that is the altitude and that area the feds regulate it. JFK jr this week mentioned on one of his replies in X that he’s going to try and stop it which is what’s needed. I mean the govt just release a report about with the faa, noaa and nasa being the lead funders and researchers
If you don’t think they’re real you must not spend great lengths of time outside or be an observant person.
I remember when the power lines were heavy with swallows, thousands of birds and thousands more short distances later. I can now travel 100 miles of rural road and count swallows at 55mph as there's so few. Insects and birds are both taking a beating
A lot of states are restricting the number of turkey licenses because of population decline. Ive read one of the theories is because of the lack of insects for the poults to eat because of pesticides.

I'm outside more than most. Work/pleasure are outside. Insects are definitely not declining where I live. I'm a very observant person thank you. Maybe you live closer to a city/airport/flyway. Is that a picture you took in the original post of a picture of you flying? I hope not or YOU are part of the problem you're talking about. I personally haven't flown in at least 25 years and have no plans to ever do so. I also spent my whole life farming grapes. Airplanes don't spray grapes in case your wondering. I'm not a hater or a masher and definitely am not double vaxxed. I'm also not blind to my surroundings. I'm also not on X. I can see how pollution bothers you and it's effects on everything in our environment. Pollution of any kind is not good I agree. Do your part and don't fly. Also don't eat anything that was possibly sprayed by a plane with pesticides. Just don't stand on your soap box and call people that respond "unobservant haters" because they live in an area that doesn't have the same problems as you. Have a nice day

This has nothing to do with regular commercial flights or spraying pesticides, slow down and re read.
This also isn’t something just happening in every state usa, it’s also all over Europe, Australia, CR and other countries too.
Aluminum, barium, silver dioxide is mostly the cocktail in the sprays that persist and don’t fade away, rather the streak in the sky will billow out, usually over a two hour period and block the sun.
Some companies also spray and cloud seed to control when and where rain falls. So they spray to cause droughts or to accelerate a rainstorm over one area. Most big ag pays these guys, in winter in the mountains pilots are paid to create more snow over resorts and so on. This is all public info via noaa. The sad part about controlling when/where rain happens is that they are effectively stealing the natural resources from area to use somewhere else, the rain is zero sum. Senator from florida eloquently put this at his last hearing about banning this.
Heres a better side by side this week, since a picture from an airplane window seems to confuse. On left is typical sun blockage after the chemtrail streaks disperse in the sky.
Its looking like we have a silent spring coming ! Sounds like the best cure is to stay out of airplanes. The day is coming when we may have polluted the earth so bad we will have to evacuate the earth and move to Mars. No need for bug spray there. We just need more tax on the poor population to save a select remnant and get them there. In the mean time quit eating and save the bugs !
The reading comprehension from some members here is insane. How would staying out of airplanes stop this, this is chemical warfare not engine discharge.
Well, this is an interesting topic. Chemtrails must be more prevalent in Maine and other places than they are here. Sure, you see them sometimes, but it's usually a single jet and they don't last long. I don't believe big AG is controlling the weather, but they sure as (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) would if they could. Instead they just stick their hand out when the rain doesn't come and Uncle Sugar puts money in it.
I have seen some strange colors in the clouds/sky over the last few years that I had never seen at anytime before. As for bugs bees and lightning bugs numbers are definitely lower than when I was a kid but the skeeters are still going strong.
I remember when the power lines were heavy with swallows, thousands of birds and thousands more short distances later. I can now travel 100 miles of rural road and count swallows at 55mph as there's so few. Insects and birds are both taking a beating
My dad is a grain farmer. He granted permission to the university of Saskatchewan to do studies over a couple of years regarding insects and swallows on his property , specifically barn swallows. I read a very nice detailed report they gave him and it was alarming to say the least. I don’t recall the name of the exact chemical (poison) that was discussed as being found in every water sample, the blood of every mosquito and the blood of something like 80% of the swallows. I’m just going to throw out a random hypothesis and say I bet the same story could be told in Minnesota.

Thank you, I found the study. I'm reading it in my spare minutes. It kind of confirms my personal observations and fears. Red Winged Black Bird populations have also collapsed locally, with pesticides leeching into the water that makes sense as to why these wetland bird populations are being decimated locally.

Neonicotinoids..... it is used in coating the canola seed for flea beetle prevention. We had a barn that had 50 years of swallow droppings and took samples for her, in the last 15 years of use you could see the insecticide come in the droppings. Every fall close to 2000 birds roost in that barn that is close to lake Winnipeg marshes.
I haven’t seen a decline in insects and the spray plane flies right over the house, as for birds there’s a good possibility the bird flu has killed them.

I don't think insects as a whole are in decline atleast not here, just certain insects like dragon flies are missing from the land scape

Most all “good”species seem to be in decline, some far worse then others. Both birds and bugs, which is really an ominous sign for what’s to come. I don’t believe it’s caused by any one thing but multiple problems from sprays to habitat. Thing is most of these critters are the bottom of the food chain, eventually it will filter up to the top.
if you are in a city or sub division where a lot of people are having their lawns sprayed for fertilizer and such they almost all include an insecticide now
so any where with nice lawns , will likely have very few insects as they are spraying block after block of the city , village or sub-division with insecticide every few weeks
it is like going to a Disney property used to be they sort of started wide spread use of it , happy place they want it to be , they are nearly in a swamp but hardly a mosquito
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
The way I see it is that these small insect die first because the accumulation of the heavy metals is a high concentration in relation to their body weight. Now we are seeing tons of birds die, little heavier takes longer, very ominous for our collective future as a whole in America.
And what’s with that comment Bruce T, are you insinuating something’s wrong with southern Maine? Everyone likes the idea of the great woods north but in reality it’s mostly private owned lumber companies (pretty sure Irvine is biggest landowner) that clear cut huge swathes every year. the state also sprays 10000s upon 10000s of gallons of round up from planes, so that’s always nice . Plus Houlton and north is nasty big ag country with contaminated soil from all the chemicals they use to grow their mono crops.. but go on with your condescending tone.

LOl..........Very little clear cutting anymore.Mostly selective harvesting now making for very hard moose hunting as the moose don't have to move around anymore.All kinds of food and cover.Stand up feed and bed back down again.The spraying is done on regrowth on some of the old cutovers to kill off the hardwood and its not round up.My reply about southern Maine was it must be southern Maine as northern Maine still has all kinds of bugs.As for birds there was a study done that shows Maines birds are holding steady and increasing in alot of areas.
Dragon flies here get very thick myself and my hay haulers were in a swarm last summer, as far as round up or any glyphosate there's no aerial application label so it can't be applied by air.

I think this is exactly right. Multiple factors are causing declines, I would estimate locally the Red Winged Black Birds and Barn Swallow populations are 5% of what they were 20 years ago, Same swamps, same barns, same basic habitat, something is dramatically wrong.

Not that way up here in northern Maine.Just as many if not more redwinged black birds and swallows around here once winter is over.More and more eagles and hawks as well.Alot of ducks and geese.Seeing all the usual songbirds.
Bob Iowa they lost certainly spray glysophate all over northern maine, which is the active ingredient in round up
It is not all over northern Maine.Only on a few selective cutovers to get rid of the hardwood where they plant softwood.Most areas they have gone to selective cutting instead.

You're right Pawnee I was wrong, it is on the label, I'm not sure when they did that because we tried and couldn't some years back, but time flies, and labels change.

It was common practice here for about 20 years, but impossible to get a pilot to do it now. Insurance on accidental drift damage has all but stopped it.
I do t know what you guys are talking about. Crystal clear skies and the bugs show up every year en mass! If you’re worried about the insect population, come up to Alaska and take some back with you, we have plenty to spare!!
I have to say that I am with Natures Tonic 100%. Every day, the sun comes up causing me to have to pee. So that clearly indicates that correlation equals causation, right?
How about everyone post a picture from their younger years with a clear sunny day in the background.
Just be more observant with what’s happening in the sky. If planes fly over and leave a persistent trail usually within 2 hours that will fan out and cover the sky with coverage. One of the favorite patterns is when they cross cross and make an X You could also go on flightrader24.com and see what planes are flying over when you see them. If you click on the plane that you believe is making chemtrails your will soon find out that they all consistently do no have any registration data at all, or flight path info, like any other normal plane.
Bruce that’s got to be a fake sky it’s just to blue if you knew the real truth you wouldn’t go outside. Just ask the Germans how we won WWII. We gassed the heck out of them back then
Just to add an interesting fact to my post above with the B-17 pics. Our crack WWII science team added the fragrance of Bratwurst with a hint of beer to an early form of DDT. Needless to say the Germans never knew what hit them.

I think they may have made a batch that had the smell of candy. Kids sure did like playing in the mist left by the skeeter truck as it drove through town.
Another kid and I used to lick the frost off the windows and my mom told us it was poison. She had great wisdom even 60 years ago and I guess she was right because my buddy died 10 years later. I licked just as much as he did and I didn't die yet. My moms wisdom also kept the tongue tracks off her clean windows !
You may be right about no relevance Nature Tonic. Truth has little relevance in todays world and it getting harder to tell the difference between a tale and a tail.
In my pictures it’s clearly not natural clouds, these are made by chemicals dispersed out of planes and then spread out. Watch planes when they leave a streak in the sky that doesn’t go away, it fans out pretty quick, within 2 hours and creates a blanket in the photo above that blocks the sun. These chemicals, which are heavy metals eventually fall somewhere and contaminate life forms.
These chemicals dispersed and don’t turn into liquid, they create a blanket covering the sky. This blocks the sunlight(even if it’s 10-20%) which in turns reduces how much vitamin d out body gets. Seems like everyone is deficient in vitamin d these days. Vitamin d is needed for our to do basic functions, so in turns reduces our overall health…. Not to to mention the effect of heavy metal accumulation
Chemtrails is whackadoodle stuff. There's no secret conspiracy about airplanes spraying secret chemicals into the sky to control out thoughts or whatever other nonsense the unmedicated types believe.
That being said, jet contrails (water vapor) and the cloud cover they create have a real effect on weather. It was actually studied on right after the 9/11 terror attacks, because all the planes were grounded and for a few days scientists were able to study the sky without contrails.
There’s tons of patents on this with the chemicals they use.
Here’s the link to NOAAs website where you can see the projects that have been registered. It shows when where and why they did this in certain areas. These are only the registered projects too…
Here’s one group of companies. Go to bottom of this link and click on the different alphabetical letters to see the companies and where they are located. You can then go to their websites and see what technology they have and use. https://weathermod.org/aboutus/
Here’s the guy that just spoke in Florida hearing against the bill banning weather modification. He’s the ceo of rainmaker. They cloudseed. So they use technology to analyze when a cloud meets the requirement to rain, then they use drones or planes to get into that cloud and release chemicals, mostly silver iodide to make that cloud rain, where they want. They can’t make more rain, they just decide where it will rain, if you read the article I’m linking here, he talks about the ethics of making it rain in certain watersheds and not making it rain in other watersheds. Essentially stealing the water where it would have naturally rained and making it rain to the highest bidder. This is going on on large scale out west, cal state water(Sierra Nevada), vail….Young tech guy but if you research him you’ll see he’s buddy buddy with the Clinton’s.
Google silver iodide toxicity symptoms and see if these symptoms line up with the flu symptoms you had this winter. You can also google silver iodide cloud seeding and get tons of results.
So here we are exactly 1 hour after the photo I last posted with the streaks in the sky. This is the result. Complete blanket. You can’t see in the photo but there were many other planes spraying and cross hatching the sky. I wanted to take a reference photo from same viewpoint. So first photo was at noon And this photo here is 1:10pm
I have no idea. It’s just what I noticed when I tracked them on the website I posted. Maybe they contract out small jet owners? I haven’t been to any smaller airstrips though. Some commercial airlines have been seen doing this like Ryanair.

All you have to do is look at the sky with a critical eye, once you see it you won’t be able to unsee it. Everyday since Easter in nj our sky has been covered with chemicals. The dimming is happening

Here’s article from the UK today stating that the government will be dimming the sun.
No idea what % it represents for earth but it’s in multiple countries, Europe, Russia, Ukraine, Costa Rica, Thailand, Australia. Probably more but that’s the ones I know so far. I was in southern Baja summer ago and didn’t see any there
Hard to believe you don’t believe it when governments say they are doing it, companies say they are doing it for profit and RFK jr even said he was going to stop it before he got elected
Hippie go back a couple pages and check out the link to NOAA’s website, our government. You’ll see all the projects they’ve approved and why they’ve approved them. And that’s only the approved projects….
How much chemical can a private jet carry? A few hundred gallons? How about a large jet? A few thousand gallons?
The trails I've seen (all my 60 years of life) reach all the way across the sky. Don't those tanks ever run out? I've never seen a trail stop...like it was cutoff or ran out.
When I spray my food plots it only goes so far.....then I have to re-fill that small 30 gallon tank. It covers about an acre and a half at the speed I run my tractor for adequate coverage.
So....how many gallons does it take to leave a trail from horizon to horizon? How far is that?
Chemtrails?
Tin foil hat?
Here are some contrails from a few weeks ago.....morning temps were cool that morning with high pressure over the area...in the low 40s here that AM....that's when you see the contrails.....when the temps are cooler and there is high pressure.

Commercial airliners fly in a highway system in the sky.. these planes don’t follow typical commercial routes, they fly parallel and perpendicular to each other to grid the sky.
In New Jersey right now we have temperatures in the 60-70s with high pressure. The my are grinding our sky blocking the sun out.
I don’t know how blm and watersheds work out west but you guys should listen to the ceo of rainmaker talk about how they steal water from certain watersheds and make it rain over other watersheds. They steal the rain from one area and force that rain to fall on a different watershed for profit..
You don’t understand the concept white Marlin. Listen to the ceo of rainmaker talk about it.
But pretty much theirs only a certain amount of rain In a rain cloud, they can’t make more rain. They use algorithms and data to know when the conditions of clouds are ripe for raining. When their conditions are met they fly drones or planes up to those targeted clouds and seed them with silver forcing them to rain. They do this over targeted areas to fill water supply’s, big ag needs, ski resorts etc…. The rain is zero sum. So instead of those rain clouds raining over watershed X naturally they force those clouds to rain over watershed Y. So yes they do cause droughts in certain areas because they are stealing the water that would’ve naturally rained there.
Yea Chancey if you search UK dimming the sun. You’ll see updates articles from past cpl days. They are following thru with it. After the uk announced, Australia is also hoping on board.
Also google senator Doug Mastriano, he’s in PA. He just came out talking about the difference between contrails and chemtrails and how he’s pushing legislation that will ban chemtrails. What’s he’s doing different then the other states that passed this (32states) is that he’s going to make it ironclad to hold the fed accountable. When you google his name and Chemtrials go down to the Instagram video. In it he talks about how doge found taxpayers funds that the Biden admin gave to do this.
I’m just trying to spread awareness, more people taking about it can bring change. Sad to think my nieces and nephews right now wont know what a real sky looks like… conservation for the next generation is protecting the sky as much as animal populations, the environment is all one.
Here is a thread from a while back. I thought volcanoes and coal burning power plants without scrubbers were already doing that and on a much bigger scale. But that was back when the earth was freezing over. Assuming this is something other than only another Al Gore money grab, how does one get elected to be the one that operates the thermostat. We like it not too cold or not too hot, but just right, maybe even luke warm, lol.
"Someone's been sleeping in my bed and she's still there!" exclaimed the Baby bear.
Just then, Goldilocks woke up. She saw the three bears. She screamed, "Help!" And she jumped up and ran out of the room. Goldilocks ran down the stairs, opened the door, and ran away into the forest. She never returned to the home of the three bears.
I have no idea swamp wolf.. probably not that big? We sprayed Vietnam with agent orange, so….
We sprayed approximately 10% of the landmass of Vietnam. That took about 19,000,000 gallons of defoliant, 11,000,000 gallons of which were Agent Orange.
If any of you are really concerned about the loss of bugs and everything that follows you can do something about. Stop mowing your lawn, replace it with native grasses and wildflowers, give the bugs a place to live.
Its just that easy.
My yard.
and no I don't have ticks, chiggers, rattlesnakes, wolves or bigfoot living in this stuff. We can sit out on the porch in the summer and maybe see one or two mosquitos all night long cause there are dragon flies, tree swallows, barn swallows and bats flying around.
Serious question. All of your pictures were taken on clear blue sky days. Why would any entity spends 10s of thousands of dollars seeding blue skies in an attempt to make it rain? You need to seed clouds to make it rain. Another question. Are all commercial airlines in on this "Chemtrail conspiracy"?
52carl Cloud seeding to make it rain is one type of weather modification, that’s not going on in my pictures.
Theirs many types of solar geoenginering like marine cloud brightening, cirrus cloud thinning, space-based techniques, and stratospheric aerosol scattering/injection.
What’s going on in my pictures is the stratospheric aerosol injection/scattering. This is what blocks the sun and dims it. Essentially the rays of the sun would reflect back into space instead of earth. Since they use heavy metals to do this it’s very worrisome of the long term health implications for all life forms, water, and soil health. Not to mention whatever lack of sunlight would cause, no wonder most everyone today is deficient in vitamin D

most people are deficient in Vitamin D due to being inside 99.3 percent of the time*, and the heavy use of sunscreen when they ARE outside.
if this phenomenon is as widespread as you suggest, there would be empirical evidence of heavy metal buildup in the soil. where is that evidence?
Thanks!

I also called all the labs in the northeast inquiring about heavy metal soil samples. Not one lab had year over year testing or samples from the same allocated soil area. They also didn’t know of anyone that did..

If you find one that has the data please share. I started with U Maine in Orono Maine because they test the soils for all the farmers, that’s who I use.

Soil samples are typically analyzed for whatever parameters are requested. If the sampler didn't request heavy metals the samples won't be run for it.

If you find one that has the data please share. I started with U Maine in Orono Maine because they test the soils for all the farmers, that’s who I use.
Soil samples are typically analyzed for whatever parameters are requested. If the sampler didn't request heavy metals the samples won't be run for it.
They've been and are doing soil samples for chemicals.
30 years ago street light on the corner was covered in bugs and several bats all summer long. gone now. cant remember the last time i heard a whiporwill night fishing. bugs are not thick here. i suspect farming chemicals. ag lobby is pretty powerful. mention chemicals may be a problem and they throw a fit.
re: whip-poor-wills...
one of the best summer sounds that I DEEPLY miss from my youth!
funny thing though...during that same time-frame, the city government sent the "foggers" through the suburban neighborhoods to kill mosquitoes, etc. I was very young, but I'm pretty sure they used DDT. I remember the fog being a brownish yellow color.
incidentally, I'm NOT blaming DDT for the lack of whip-poor-wills! there's a lot of evidence that questions most of the so-called "studies" that purported to "prove" egg shell thinning, etc.
also, what a lot of folks fail to take into consideration is that the habitat doesn't stay the same over thirty or forty years. subtle (and NOT so subtle) changes in vegetation type, size, etc. etc. can and DOES affect the type and number of species utilizing that habitat. not surprising at all.

Yep, We were just talking about the no till farming practices.
There comes a point liberalism has gone too far, we're past that point.
Deicing chemicals for the roads are also a culprit in the equation
Here's govt for ya..........
Every year it seems to snow during rat/mink season and sure enough, the township pushes the ramp open but stops short of pushing it into the water and I have to shovel a spot to get the boat in.. I caught up to the one day and asked them about this and they said the state doesn't allow them to push it in the river.
I said, but its 5' downhill and when it melts its in there anyhow!
Harrisburg loads their snow onto dump trucks and piles it on City Island, again not able to put it in the river but they pile it feet from it on an island, lol.

.....lol missed that........Which part of Maine?

if you knew the real truth you wouldn’t go outside. Just ask the Germans how we won WWII. We gassed the heck out of them back then
