John Bradshaw - Chemtrails
This is It Is Written. I'm John Bradshaw. Thanks for joining me for part two of our five-part series, "Conspiracy, More Than Just a Theory". Now, the problem with conspiracy theories is that they don't rest on proof. You don't need any proof at all to establish the veracity of a conspiracy theory. You just need doubt. Doubt and a healthy dose of mistrust, or maybe that's an unhealthy dose of mistrust. Add some secrecy, add the fact that at times the government has acted reprehensibly, think, for example, of the ghastly Tuskegee medical experiments of last century, and you'll find people who are willing to believe that you cannot trust anyone, that the truth is being hidden, and that things are definitely not as they appear.
The vast majority of books written about the murder of former president John F. Kennedy suggest that there was a conspiracy surrounding his death. You've heard Elvis Presley's death was faked, that Hitler survived World War II, that Denver International Airport, well, that's been linked to every conspiracy theory under the sun. Conspiracy theories about politicians are common, and you don't have to go very far at all to find people who tell you that the government is keeping what it knows about aliens at Area 51 a secret, or that the earth is actually flat, and the government is keeping that a secret, too. No concrete proof for any of it, but questions, unanswered questions sometimes, and unsubstantiated claims made amid a ton of suspicion. What is undeniable is that the Bible speaks about a massive global conspiracy affecting the entire world, including you and me, right now. And there's no lack of evidence for this. The evidence is everywhere. The Bible speaks about it at great length. The fact that fewer and fewer people seem to be interested in a genuine global conspiracy is really rather incredible, especially when you consider that people are willing to believe...
Well, in 2016, about a month after the US presidential election, a man drove from his home in North Carolina to Washington, DC, armed with an assault rifle and a revolver, owing to something that's become known as Pizzagate. The word on the internet was that a pizzeria in Washington, DC, was the center of a ghastly child trafficking ring, with connections to some of the country's most influential political figures. The man entered the pizza restaurant in broad daylight and fired several shots as he attempted to find the poor children and free them from the basement in which they were being held captive. But no, there weren't any children there being trafficked at all. The restaurant didn't even have a basement. Lives were terribly affected by this conspiracy. Imagine your business receiving 150 threatening phone calls a day, and your staff members and your family members receiving death threats. The man was sentenced to four years in a federal prison for believing and then acting on deliberate misinformation.
Now, again, it's not that the government or any other organization has always acted entirely above board, but you've got to be willing to believe the very worst about people to go there in your thinking. A huge spiritual conspiracy involving the entire planet is being overlooked while people discuss and believe that a pizza restaurant is ground zero for horrific crimes with the participation of politicians, and there was never any evidence, never any reason to believe it was true. Has to take a pretty massive amount of distrust of the government to believe what we're going to look at now. Keep in mind there's a global conspiracy being missed, and yet something like this is believed by intelligent people.
Look up on any clear day and, depending on where you're located, you'll see vapor trails crisscrossing the sky, and you think to yourself, "Airplanes," because, of course, airplanes produce exhaust emissions. But there are people who are convinced that the trails left behind in the sky by planes are actually evidence that the government is involved in geoengineering, geoengineering that not only affects the world's weather but also poisons the environment. It's believed chemtrails, chemical trails, are a government-sponsored conspiracy, that chemicals such as aluminum and strontium are sprayed into the atmosphere, and then they fall to the ground. Now, it's said this is ostensibly for the purpose of weather modification, but it's been blamed for bad weather, depletion of the ozone layer, pH changes in the soil, and on and on. Well, I've come here to talk with Terry Hess. Mr. Hess is a pilot, and he knows a thing or two about the subject.
Terry Hess: I'm a corporate pilot. I fly for corporations in private jets.
John Bradshaw: Okay, around where? Which part of the United States?
Terry Hess: Mostly eastern half of the U.S.
John Bradshaw: Okay, so, you, you see a little bit?
Terry Hess: I do.
John Bradshaw: You interact with pilots?
Terry Hess: I do.
John Bradshaw: You're in and out of airports?
Terry Hess: I do.
John Bradshaw: You understand the aviation industry?
Terry Hess: I believe so.
John Bradshaw: Tell me, uh, tell me how much you know about planes? That's a very open-ended question. What do you know about planes?
Terry Hess: It's all I've done since I was a freshman in high school. So, I started pretty early, and, uh, I've been around. I did flight instruction, worked for the airlines. And then we've started our own private company offering, uh, private jet service.
John Bradshaw: Okay, now, when you say you worked for the airlines... tell me a little bit about that.
Terry Hess: I was a, uh, first officer, a captain, and instructor pilot for, uh, several airlines.
John Bradshaw: Okay, so you've worked in the United States. You, you've flown in other countries?
Terry Hess: I have. I did work, uh, domestically as well as in India, a large part in India, as well as Solomon Islands, Western Pacific.
John Bradshaw: Okay, so that's a variety of places in which you've worked. So, you're familiar with contrails, condensation trails?
Terry Hess: Correct.
John Bradshaw: That, that path that planes leave in the sky?
Terry Hess: Correct.
John Bradshaw: Can you explain to me what they are?
Terry Hess: It's just, uh, when the atmosphere is right, meaning the moisture content at the high altitudes combined with the colder temperatures, when the engine goes through the air, it heats that air up, and that's what produces the condensation, and it leaves a trail behind. It's a naturally occurring event, as a byproduct of the heat of the engine.
John Bradshaw: Now, you don't have to go too terribly far to find people who will say that contrails, condensation trails...
Terry Hess: Mm-hmm.
John Bradshaw: ...are actually chemtrails, chemical trails.
Terry Hess: Mm-hmm.
John Bradshaw: What have you heard about that?
Terry Hess: Well, it's just not true. I mean, what most people see in the sky is a contrail. Is it plausible to have a chemtrail, or a, a government agency producing chemical, uh, products and injecting them in the atmosphere? It's plausible. I've never seen it, though.
John Bradshaw: So it could happen?
Terry Hess: It could happen.
John Bradshaw: All right. We're opening a can of worms here. It could happen.
Terry Hess: Mm-hmm.
John Bradshaw: So, that leads me to this. There are 600,000-plus pilots, depending on how you count, in the United States alone.
Terry Hess: Mm-hmm.
John Bradshaw: About a quarter of a million of them fly commercially.
Terry Hess: Correct.
John Bradshaw: You know these men and women. You interact with them; you train with them; you eat in the breakroom with them.
Terry Hess: Right.
John Bradshaw: You sit on the shuttle with them. Pilots talk, right?
Terry Hess: Mm-hmm.
John Bradshaw: Okay, they talk. Share stories?
Terry Hess: Mm-hmm.
John Bradshaw: Share experiences?
Terry Hess: Mm-hmm.
John Bradshaw: Say what they know? Raise concerns?
Terry Hess: Right.
John Bradshaw: Complain about the boss?
Terry Hess: Mm-hmm.
John Bradshaw: Talk about the government?
Terry Hess: Right.
John Bradshaw: From your point of view as a pilot, a businessman...
Terry Hess: Mm-hmm.
John Bradshaw: ...does it appear possible that there could be a conspiracy of this magnitude...
Terry Hess: Mm-hmm.
John Bradshaw: ...without it being common knowledge among the, the pilots themselves?
Terry Hess: I don't believe so. I think, uh, the pilots would see it, if it was in action. But you're right. Uh, I've never seen it. It's definitely not part of the airline atmosphere. It's not part of the corporate atmosphere. And our skies are full of corporate and, uh, airline aircraft. So, somebody would, would likely witness such an event.
John Bradshaw: Okay, so, from your perspective on the inside, you're an industry insider, what would it have to take for something like this the government involved in geoengineering in a way that it's poisoning people and ruining the environment and causing sickness, illness, so forth, what would it have to take for something like that to be carried out?
Terry Hess: It'd be a large-scale effort involved, certainly an airforce of substantial size. A lot of aircraft would have to be converted to tankering the materials, injecting those material at high altitudes. It is plausible to do so, um, but it'd be a very large effort, especially in the sense to, uh, change the weather and the atmospheric conditions to produce rain, which is, I believe the theory is that they produce chemtrails that produce rain. To alter Mother Nature in such a form, it would involve, in my opinion, a very large-scale operation that would be very detectible.
John Bradshaw: Now, what I've heard as well is that they, they seed the atmosphere with these chemicals in an effort to combat global warming because then it will... bounce the sunlight off this chemical blanket and back up into the sky. Now, you know enough about the environment, about the way nature works and air patterns work to have a, a thought on that. Does that seem likely to you?
Terry Hess: It seems... very unlikely. It would be an unpractical, the scale to do so, to blanket the earth in a substantial manner to produce rain, in my opinion, would be very unpractical. Um, is it plausible? It could happen, but the scale to produce results would be huge. Uh, so, I guess, in my opinion, very difficult to pull off.
John Bradshaw: What interests me about the theory of bouncing the sunlight back up towards the sun is that this would, it is said, create a blanket that would then trap heat down here.
Terry Hess: Mm-hmm.
John Bradshaw: So it does seem, doesn't it, that this is a little outside the scope of likelihood?
Terry Hess: Yeah, it would be a big challenge. Uh, I'd actually be very interested to see the attempts, if it was ever attempted. Um, you got to go back to the, what produces rain. Uh, what produces rain is the sun's uneven heating of the earth surface. And so, actually, diversity of the earth surface is what creates rain. You have, uh, areas of, say, a freshly plowed field, that's, dark soil. It attracts the light, attracts the heat. It'll produce a lot of heat, and then an area of water or an area of trees is cooler. And so that cycle of air is what produces the lifting action that would carry moisture up. It condensates and forms rain. So to do a chemtrail from 40,000 feet, um, to produce a cloud that would cool the earth in one spot, leaving other spots hot, in my opinion, that would be a pretty substantial effort to make that happen.
John Bradshaw: Okay, so let's say they're doing this. Let's just, let's just imagine that. Let's say the government's got some conspiracy underfoot, and they're equipping planes, and they're, they're seeding the atmosphere with thus and so, and I don't know where it's changing the weather, but evidently it is. And then it's poisoning us down here.
Terry Hess: Mm-hmm.
John Bradshaw: So...pretending for a moment they are, where would they be doing it? You, you're the pilot.
Terry Hess: Mm-hmm.
John Bradshaw: Where would they be conducting, where would they be outfitting the planes and recruiting the pilots from? Where could you imagine that happening?
Terry Hess: I would say it'd have to be, it would have to be a government agency. I don't think it would be in the private sector.
John Bradshaw: Okay, so there's, there'd have to be a government agency somewhere doing all of this that nobody knows anything about?
Terry Hess: Correct.
John Bradshaw: Okay, so that would be a big thing, wouldn't it?
Terry Hess: It would.
John Bradshaw: And the pilots would have to be, I mean, look, I just don't know, and I don't suppose you do, either.
Terry Hess: So the pilots would probably be just, uh, pilots that are trained in that type of airplane. So the, the airplanes that do, say, air-to-air refueling, the military ones, KC-135s, these are large airliners that have been converted with tanks and such. In my vision, if it was to be pulled off, they would use a similar architecture to, uh, use these tanker aircraft to inject, uh, the material into the atmosphere.
John Bradshaw: Okay. So we've assumed there's a way to get it done, if it was, if we really wanted to get it done. There'd have to be people in your industry blogging about this...
Terry Hess: Right.
John Bradshaw: ...writing about this...
Terry Hess: Right.
John Bradshaw: ...spilling the beans. Wouldn't there, wouldn't there just have to be?
Terry Hess: I agree. It'd be very difficult to pull it off without somebody noticing. Uh, the airline pilots are floating around; it's the same, and the corporate aircraft are in the same air space that this would be conducted, and if you're going to produce a cloud that's substantial enough to reflect the light of the sun, to produce a rain cloud, it'd be very large, and it would be visible, certainly, for other pilots to see.
John Bradshaw: Do you see a day coming when the government of the United States is deliberately poisoning the environment, sickening us all, doing so right under our noses, not telling us? Does that seem at all likely to you?
Terry Hess: I do not see a pilot that would engage in such a matter. I don't believe that, uh, I'm certainly hoping the government wouldn't do something like that. Uh, I don't believe it happens, no.
John Bradshaw: Now, again, what doesn't help is that governments have done things that they've kept secret. And then people find out and say, "Well, that just proves that anything is possible". But let's talk about what's really possible. In fact, what's actually going on now. And this conspiracy is big. And it's real. I'll have more in a moment.
Thanks for joining me on It Is Written. Conspiracies. Now, people have been talking about chemtrails for years. I asked a friend of mine about this long ago. He's an airline mechanic, works for one of the world's biggest airlines. When I asked him about chemtrails, he shook his head and told me that in his opinion the whole idea was crazy. Yet people believe it to be true... certainly a minority of people, but you'll find perfectly intelligent, reasonable people who are willing to believe and willing to tell others that the government is poisoning citizens from sea to shining sea by raining heavy metals down on the planet from planes flying tens of thousands of feet above the earth.
Now, the fact is there isn't any actual proof of this. No one has found the smoking gun. No government scientist has ever come forward and confessed his or her role in this. No one's ever seen a genuine photo of an aircraft being prepared for this. But in spite of that, people believe. So what about when you are confronted with irrefutable evidence that there's a conspiracy going on that's affecting the entire world? When the world was created, it was a perfect world. No death, no sadness, no sin.
Now, let's think about this. What is sin? Well, 1 John 3, verse 4 says that "sin is the transgression of the law". Put another way, it's living outside the will of God. In another place, the Bible says that anything that "is not of faith is sin". That's Romans 14:23. And where did sin come from? Why are we here in this sinful world in the first place? Well, here's what we know from the Bible. Revelation 12 tells us that there was war in heaven between angels that were loyal to God and angels who chose to stand with Lucifer, who became Satan. Satan became divisive in heaven. But over what?
Isaiah chapter 14 tells us, "How are you fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How are you cut down to the ground, you who weakened the nations! For you have said in your heart: 'I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation on the farthest sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.'"
It was Satan's desire to sit in God's place. He wanted rulership. Simply put, he wanted worship. Ezekiel chapter 28 tells us a similar story, starting in verse 14: "You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you; you were on the holy mountain of God; you walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones. You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, till iniquity was found in you. By the abundance of your trading you became filled with violence within, and you sinned; therefore I cast you as a profane thing out of the mountain of God; and I destroyed you, O covering cherub, from the midst of the fiery stones. Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor".
Lucifer was privileged. He occupied an exalted place among the angels of God. But he came to the place where he coveted worship, the worship that rightfully belongs only to God. You ask yourself why an angel of God in heaven would want to jeopardize all that he had. You can't really find answers for that. But isn't that what happens when a husband jeopardizes his marriage? Or someone jeopardizes their future by anger or malice, or when someone embezzles money from their employer, or does something equally mindless? How did they ever expect to get away with that? You see, sin can't be explained. It's self-indulgence rather than surrender to God; we know that much. Satan was on a mission, a mission to undermine the authority and the government of God. And that helps explain much of what we see in the world today.
When Satan came to the earth to tempt Adam and Eve, he knew he had to get them to manifest distrust in God. If they could exercise a lack of faith in God, they'd be lost. Satan knew that. And what was true then is true today. Isaiah wrote in Isaiah 59, verse 2, that sin separates a person from God. When Adam and Eve chose to rebel against God and eat the fruit He told them not to eat, that was sin. And what does sin bring with it? It brings death. Because separation from God ends in death. Life is found only in God. That's why the Bible says today, "He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life".
First John 5, verse 12. Outside of God there's no life. Connected to God through Christ, there is life. Paul wrote that "the wages of sin is death" in Romans 6:23. Sin brings death. And that's what Satan sowed when he came into the world. But what was God's response? "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life". John 3:16. Jesus would die for our sins. The eternal Son of God would experience death so that we could experience everlasting life. Sin is so deadly, but God's love for you is so great that divinity was prepared to go to a cross so that you might live. There is a Savior today, and the enemy knows that. He wants you to forget that, wants you to be distracted, to forget God, to get too busy to pray.
You know, in the parable of the sower, seed fell on four different types of ground. There was good ground. There was also seed that fell on the wayside, another kind of ground. But then there was seed that fell in shallow soil. Remember that there was seed that fell among thorns. And what was that? Mark 4, verse 7: "Some seed fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no crop". Jesus said later in the chapter that "the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful". Satan has this figured out. He's been studying human nature for thousands of years, and he knows what works. And he knows what works for you. If he can distract you, discourage you, lure you into sin, away from the heart of God, away from the security that God provides, then he knows he's got you. I'll be back with more in just a moment.
Thanks for joining me today on It Is Written. Consider this: Why do you think there's so much temptation today? Well, I'll tell you. It's because Satan is at the top of his game. Someone says, "Oh, this is modern thinking, enlightened thinking". But the devil knows what it is. It's sin, and it's deadly. Someone says, "Do what you want to do," but Satan knows that's sin. The world says, "You can have it. You can do it. Don't let anyone stop you". But the enemy of souls wraps sin up in the most attractive way. Alcohol is sophisticated somehow. Drugs are seen as cool.
Rebellion is freedom of expression. Immorality is empowerment. The killing of infants is an individual's right to choose. You see what's going on? We've been reprogrammed without even realizing. The times are changing, and our attitude towards God and faith and the Bible is changing, too. Coincidence? No way. It's a massive global conspiracy. And if you're not vigilant, you're caught up in every last bit of it. So where's the way out? Well, God is the way out. Faith in Jesus is the way out. He still saves, still transforms, still restores. And He'll do that work in you, if you'll allow Him to do so. It's not an overstatement to say that the world has turned its back on Jesus. But if you'll turn towards Him, He'll forgive you and save you, and He'll keep you. That's what He does.
