First off jeffro, consider yourself a survivor. You seem to be aware of the issues and that is going to be to your advantage unlike the stubborn ignorant or unaware. Do not stress over trying to change or enlighten others.
You may want to change tactics a bit - perhaps trying to feed it all out through "chemtrails" - introduce them to "geoengineering". Point them to the information and evidence that this is a for real science.
Geoengineering is the gateway topic for all the potential issues that are concealed by it.
Don't push your opinion, just lay the information out and let them decide for themselves if they want to pursue it further by future discussions with you. The last thing you want to do is alienate these friends or family - your all going to need each other if things get out of hand in the times ahead.

I remember when I first told my dad. I could see a deep sadness come to his eyes - he didn't say a word. My dad was a very close to nature person; and he knew that something was wrong with his garden and flowers he tended daily. You could just tell that it all clicked when I told him. He was 87 but still an active senior with all his faculties. I knew by his silence that he felt helpless and I am sure he was worried that he would not have enough time left to fight this fight and that it would be left up to me and his grandchildren, my children. I just made it policy not to discuss it any further with him as I did not want to see that hurt in him again.

I have another close friend that is just totally stubborn and thinks that I am full of poo when I bring it up. He is a happy go lucky sort and always likes to joke around so I always point to the sky and joke around about it with him (gallows humor) and continue to slip in a bit of hard fact every so often. Even though he is refusing to believe in it, he is still my friend and I will not gloat over it when the truth be finally out - well maybe just a bit : )

When first introduced to the chemtrail issue most people will respond this way. They can't believe that something like this has been occurring right over their heads and has been so for over a decade. It is natural to slip into denial, some choose to remain there, others will try and go off on their own to research if they are intuitive enough.

Ultimately all of us, even the ones who choose to remain in denial, end up asking the question: it is happening or if it is happening - "what can I do about it"?

Some take videos or photos and then post them. Then there are those that continue to gather soil and water samples to have analyzed and usually confirm the presence of toxins. Others try and educate and spread the word (where you are, yes?)
There are those that attempt to confront authority by writing or pinning down and interviewing politicians. Some continue to data mine in hopes of finding the smoking guns or exposing organizations and individuals suspected of being involved.

The only thing that will really wake everyone up is an event that would without a doubt confirm chemtrails exist. And these are the people who are compiling in flight samples from various locations during various dates when aerosol field campaigns are in full swing.

Hang in there, do not expect all of the people to click into fight or flight mode right off the hop. It will take time for them to warm to the idea that perhaps they should be looking out for themselves and their loved ones. We have all gotten soft over the centuries and our survival skills are pretty dull. Compounding the problem with the chemtrail issue is that it is not a gun that is being pointed at your head. Rather, it is the cowardly poisoning of slow kill which causes us to hesitate due to our engrained morals instead of reacting to the threat swiftly. On a positive note, it is a slow kill, so we still have time to find the solid evidence and expose this before too many of our family and friends die off due to "natural" causes.

Stay tough!
