1st Vice-Chairman Shane Reeves
0:00
You are recognized on Senate Bill 2691. Also has an amendment on it.
0:06
Does the amendment make that bill?
Chairman Steve Southerland
0:07
It does.
0:08
I'll move the bill.
1st Vice-Chairman Shane Reeves
0:10
Chairman Sutherland moves the bill.
0:12
I second the bill.
0:13
We want to go ahead and get it in the right.
0:15
I move Amendment 014295.
0:18
Chairman Sutherland seconds it, in favor of the amendment.
0:23
Any objections?
0:25
The amendment is on the bill.
0:26
Do you want to explain it to us?
Chairman Steve Southerland
0:27
I'd like to go into recess and have someone to testify, if you would, please.
1st Vice-Chairman Shane Reeves
0:33
OK, we're going to go into recess.
0:35
If you could please come forward.
0:44
If you would, please raise your right hand.
0:49
Do you affirm that the testimony you're providing to the Senate Energy Agricultural Natural Resource today is truthful and correct to the best of your knowledge?
Doctor Denise Sibley
0:58
Yes, Sir.
1st Vice-Chairman Shane Reeves
0:59
Thank you.
0:59
Can you please state your name?
1:05
We have 3 minutes.
1:07
We're out of session or in recess.
Doctor Denise Sibley
1:10
My name is Doctor Denise Sibley.
1:12
I'm an internal medicine physician from Johnson City, TN.
1:15
I've practiced medicine for 35 years.
1:17
I support this bill and I refer to it as the Atmosphere Protection Act.
1:22
Several states besides our own, including New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Kentucky, Connecticut, Iowa, and South Dakota are involved in actions to protect their atmosphere as well.
1:32
Cloud seeding, quote, has been recognized since 1965 in Maryland and since 1967 in Pennsylvania, both in our own TCA 58-2-116 which specifically mentions legal weather modification in our own state and in this 44 pages White House produced document from June 2023, which is a congressionally mandated report regarding the framework for governmental past, present and future weather modification through solar radiation modification using stratospheric aerosol injection, marine cloud brightening and cirrus cloud thinning.
2:16
There is no doubt that weather modification is taking place within our state.
2:21
These actions of intentional manipulation of the atmosphere produce pollution and unintentional consequences that affect the health of our citizens, the safety of our water supply, our soil viability and crop production, ecosystem survival, precipitation extremes with flooding and drought, climate variability and extremes and disruption of the economy.
2:43
The spring of sulfur dioxide is identified as causing acid rain, known to be detrimental to the health of humans, causing respiratory diseases such as asthma and worsening lung disease, and it acidifies the water supply and soil.
2:57
In addition, heavy metals have been detected in rainwater samples in Tennessee from 2017 from Clarksville, TN that contains dangerous substances such as strontium, barium, aluminum, and sulfur.
3:12
We are in the process of obtaining new samples as well in our area.
3:16
We do not consent to this experimentation on our atmosphere and our citizens, nor the funding of it.
3:22
We do not consent to the intentional blocking of the sun through the use of particulate aerosols and heavy metals.
3:28
Blocking the sun would affect our crops with potential famine, deforestation, and the blocking of vitamin D production by humans, which is a major determinant of a natural immunity.
3:39
We do not consent to this unnatural, God-like desire to control the Heavens.
3:43
If we fail to block these actions with legislation by providing our own governance, then we will continue to be manipulated by the federal government and the stakeholders that are named in this White House report.
3:57
Scientific American in February 2023 also reported on the UN One Atmosphere global government for the experimentation and deployment of solar geoengineering and solar radiation modification, which would link all world governments under a singular control.
4:16
I urge you to support our 9th and 10th amendments to lead the nation as Tennessee forcefully says "No", not in this state.
4:23
You won't mess with our atmosphere.
4:25
Thank you for your work on behalf of our citizens.
1st Vice-Chairman Shane Reeves
4:27
Hey Doctor, thank you for the testimony.
4:30
Do we have any questions for the witness?
4:33
Senator Oliver, you’re recognized.
Senator Charlane Oliver
4:36
Thank you.
4:36
Sorry, I didn't catch your name.
Doctor Denise Sibley
4:39
Doctor Denise Sibley.
Senator Charlane Oliver
4:41
Thank you, Doctor Sibley. Can you explain geoengineering to me like I'm 5?
Doctor Denise Sibley
4:47
Geoengineering is the intention of modifying the atmosphere to control the sun's radiation down to the Earth and to reflect some of that back in an effort to supposedly combat climate change and to also modify the weather.
Senator Charlane Oliver
5:09
Where is this geoengineering taking place In Tennessee?
Doctor Denise Sibley
5:14
The geoengineering is taking place on a United States wide area.
5:20
It is, the national organizations that are mentioned in this document.
5:26
Again, this is a White House produced congressional mandated document, or NASA and NOAA, which is the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association, other academic entities that are involved in experimentation and modeling, as well as the Office of Scientific, OSTP, which I'd have to refer to that what that stands for.
5:51
But there are several national organizations that participate in this.
5:55
NASA and NOAA are the main ones.
Senator Charlane Oliver
5:56
But they're doing this in Tennessee?
Doctor Denise Sibley
6:00
They do it all over.
Senator Charlane Oliver
6:02
Gotcha.
6:03
So this bill, I'm trying to understand, this bill would prohibit them from doing geoengineering in Tennessee?
Doctor Denise Sibley
6:11
We would like to prohibit that for our citizens as we want the overreach of the government to not extend and injure the health of our citizens.
6:23
Yes, ma'am.
1st Vice-Chairman Shane Reeves
6:26
Senator Bowling, you’re recognized.
Senator Janice Bowling
6:28
Thank you very much Doctor Sibley.
6:31
I do appreciate your coming to us with this and others.
6:35
I have been hearing about this from constituents for quite a time.
6:38
And the fact that it is taking place over Tennessee, it is up to us to stop this.
6:44
And I thank you for bringing this.
1st Vice-Chairman Shane Reeves
6:47
Senator Niceley, you’re recognized.
Senator Frank Niceley
6:50
Thank you, Doctor Sibley.
6:51
This will be my wife's favorite bill of the year.
6:54
She has worried about this, I bet 10 years.
6:57
It's been going on a long, long time and it's amazing how many people never look up during the day.
7:03
But if you look up one day, let's be clear, the next day they will look like some angels being playing tic tac toe.
7:11
They're everywhere.
7:12
I've got pictures on my phone with Xes right over my house.
7:16
For years they denied that they were doing anything and then they finally admitted. I found it in the budget.
7:22
So we know they were doing it. Then they say, well it's to dim the sun so we don't have global cooling or warming or climate change.
7:31
They're saying that some of this stuff they're putting in the sky is to enhance the communication between the satellites and our cell phones and everything to make it make the transmissions more accurate.
Doctor Denise Sibley
7:45
Yes, Sir.
Senator Frank Niceley
7:47
So I don't know what's going on.
7:48
We need to know.
7:49
I think this is one of the better bills we've passed this year.
7:53
The only problem I have with it, there's no teeth in it.
7:56
But I think we should put some teeth in. If we catch a pilot doing this, jerk his license for six months or fine him some money.
8:02
I've noticed down here we pass bills and if we don't put teeth in it, they tend to ignore it.
8:08
I'd like to offer an amendment to put some kind of teeth in it, if we could.
Chairman Steve Southerland
8:17
Well, I think it might put a fiscal note on it if we do that.
8:21
So, I would prefer that we just pass it clean like.
1st Vice-Chairman Shane Reeves
8:29
Any other questions or comments? From Senator Lowe. You're recognized.
Senator Adam Lowe
8:35
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
8:35
The big revelation of the day is that Frank has a phone that takes pictures.
1st Vice-Chairman Shane Reeves
8:43
Your name was called.
Senator Frank Niceley
8:45
Now, excuse me. Did you say the gentlemen from Strawberry Plains?
8:55
Smart people have a smartphone.
8:57
Wise people have flip phones.
1st Vice-Chairman Shane Reeves
9:02
Thank you, Doctor Sibley, for your time.
Doctor Denise Sibley
9:04
Thank you, Sir, for letting me present today.
1st Vice-Chairman Shane Reeves
9:06
We're going back into session.
9:08
