#HMBlog: 'Chemtrail' bill advances through Florida Senate. Why do so many 'Conspiracy Theories' end up being true?
Hold on a second, one of the oldest “conspiracy theories” I can remember in my life was that some sort of shadowy organization, probably Government was flying planes into the atmosphere and releasing chemicals to…well..I don’t know exactly know what. Change the weather, I guess. I never really got into that theory because it seemed easily explained by the reality of Contrails, the condensation produced from jet engines and the pressure or something I don’t really know, I’ll ask Grok:
Alright, so yea, it’s a debunked conspiracy theory, we are all in agreement. However, since it’s the Whacky Era that we live in, not so fast. Miami Republican Sen. Ileana Garcia filed bill SB56, the Geoengineering and Weather Modification Activities act. The Senate Appropriations Committee on Agriculture, Environment and General Government reviewed the bill (SB 56) before approving it in a 10-2 bipartisan vote. The measure now advances to the Senate Rules Committee. Sen. Ileana Garcia, introduced the bill, aiming to halt human-induced weather modifications in Florida. The state presently permits cloud seeding and other forms of “artificial weather interference” by licensed operators. Wait, what? So there is at least some truth to people flying planes into the sky and squirting juice up there to mess with the weather? OK, so, that means it’s not a conspiracy theory, stop calling it that. Obviously contrails exist…but so do chemtrails as it turns out. Both can be true. How often is it a contrail or a chemtrail that you see in the sky? Probably overwhelmingly it’s condensation from the jet engine and the pressure or something, I don't know. (go check out the Grok explanation above, TLDR for me).
It seems like more and more, these Conspiracy Theories that people are chastised for or worse, silenced for, end up having at least a shade of truth (like the chemtrails). Many times these kookie theories end up being outright factual- Covid’s Lab Leak Origins is the favored theory by the CIA, for example.
Boy, remember what happened if you said that 5 years ago? You were called a racist at best and thrown offline at worst. Apoorva Mandavilli of The New York Times referred to the lab leak theory as having "racist roots". In May 2021, she tweeted, "Someday we will stop talking about the lab leak theory and maybe even admit its racist roots. The New York Times, four years later, released an Opinion piece letting the general public know that they were “misled” by Scientists over the origins of Covid-19. Oh…well..thanks, I guess? The problem was, at the time, people in the out-group from reporters at the New York Times were the one’s speaking about this ‘Lab Leak’. Senator Tom Cotton, a Republican being the one that comes to my mind first and foremost. There’s a visceral reaction from our Media to automatically take the opposite point of view from the opposition. Even if they’re right. Also, it’s not their fault for being misled, they didn’t like unwashed masses who were saying it, you see:
Another ‘conspiracy theory’ 12 weeks ago was the mental decline of Joe Biden. Media spent a lot of time debunking anyone who was spreading this conspiracy.
Well, guess who has out a new book (already) about the coverup of Joe Biden’s mental decline. You guessed it:
Amazing. I can only imagine what ‘Conspiracy Theory’ will be true tomorrow.

10 Tampa Bay reporting:
Tampa Bay Lightning fans are rallying behind the team's national anthem singer Sonya Bryson-Kirksey after reports said she was dealing with serious health matters.
10 Tampa Bay reached out to her husband, Jimmie Kirksey Jr. and he confirmed she was in the hospital with COVID-19. He says she was admitted July 16 to the hospital and is not on a ventilator.
Kirksey says his wife is immunocompromised. And, he says if she hadn't gotten the COVID-19 vaccine shot, "she might not be here."
He tells us he can't visit her in the hospital and said, while she's in good spirits, it's been hard being alone.
Jimmie Kirksey provided the following statement to 10 Tampa Bay:
"She's doing better. Still having problems breathing. She wants everyone to please get the vaccine. Even though she got the Delta Variant. She got it from an unvaccinated person. She has MS so her immune system is not as strong as mine. I've been with her and didn't get it. But my immune system isn't like hers. If she hadn't gotten the shot she might not be here. People are coming in with the Delta Variant and wanting the shot now. Doctors are telling it's too late. And they are going straight on ventilation. It has to run its course. But prayers are what we need at this moment. Thank you all for love and support ❤"
