Incompetence

If anyone wants to do further reading on what is behind, and underneath this, I did an ariticle on substack, here https://blaisevanne.substack.com/publish/post/103102047

Another very good one is here: https://jtrudel.substack.com/p/487cadee-2798-4300-8787-c788df71f5c4

There is MUCH more than meets the eye on this one; indeed, what just happened was Sauron-esque in its evil.

Thanks for the work.

I think TRP and chloride channels and impact on GABA may be why children are more at risk. https://denutrients.substack.com/p/vinyl-chloride-risks-and-detox-possibilities

For chemical spill responses, the last thing you want to do is set it a-blaze. Containment and absorption are the first measures that are normally used. Puncturing and releasing an intact tank, is the last thing you want to do and water cooling the other tanks that are close to the burning tank are the best procedures to follow. Even with the possibility of a chemical tank exploding, you DO NOT puncture, but attempt to siphon off or reduce the pressure in the tank to prevent explosion.

This response was beyond incompetent and seems calculated to produce the worst outcomes that can be managed. The data are all over the place and the media response is not coordinated to produce a cogent story, but to muddy the water as much as possible.

I have heard conflicting stories about whose decision it was to set the chemicals on fire. Who was it?

Dr. Jack, Could you please explain what the models mean? Thanks.

I suggest using the map provided on Ray's the source Substack piece, that shows the watershed affected- basically feeds into every major river system, but then also overlay a map of farming land. If you see what I see (pretty hard to not!) Then you'll see the longer term affects of this "just a train crash". Also combine it with the legislation around government purchase of toxic, polluted land....🤔🤔

Today the rain in CT has an awful smell. A cross between nail polish remover, plastic burning, and pool water. What have they done?

DeWine extolled how he talked with PA governor for 2 hours about what to do - neither of them have HazMat expertise let alone experience! HazMat people from the state agencies that actually know their stuff, and private and local HazMat on the ground couldn't get through to Governor's office!? Suffolk had the governors' ears though - Suffolk had generously donated to their campaigns. DeWine deferred to the RR to tell him what to do!? The state agency heads involved are political appointees and state career management types, not current up to date trained and familiar with the subject matters. DeWine kept himself in an impenetrable pink bubble to act within, focusing on what seemed to be the best political expediency for him, not allowing the people who know how to handle the mess access and input. Why did any of the people doing the press conference think their shallow bullshit was going to fly? I had the impression a couple of them did not believe their own bullshit. I think there will be resignations. Meanwhile, EPA wouldn't talk to anyone, and no Red Cross, not even OH Disaster Planning and Relief.

This is WW3 using unconventional war tactics, not by bombs, tanks, B52s and nuclear. Can't you see it?

This is why we need hemp, hemp, hemp. Hemp is a phytoremidator which means it cleans the soil. It's also the most sensible thing to use that can replace plastics and thousands of other petrochemicals including fuels. We need to be growing lots of hemp everywhere and regenerate the soil. The UN never talks about hemp, NEVER.

Railroad workers' complaints should have been listened to and their complaints SOLVED -- not SHUT DOWN THEIR STRIKE..... but no one listens to workers

Yesterday Highwire did a great segment w toxic emergency response trainers who had lots of helpful tips for folks protection and cleaning and many criticisms including having first responders without protective gear because hazmat suits would scare the public!
