America: Off the Rails
A literal toxic cloud hangs over America today. Many cannot really see it, much less see through it! The fog of paralysis eliminates effective action while producing an inertia that, together with a lack of incisive analysis, will end in our nation’s death spiral. There has never been such an open show of contempt and hatred for normal Americans – a/k/a “the deplorables” – as is presently displayed by our ruling elites and their governing regime. These malignant views are continually demonstrated by the Bolshevik Biden Administration’s original non-response, followed quickly by a grudging “mini-response” to the environmental disaster that took place in East Palestine, Ohio. Only the appearance of former President Donald Trump on the scene forced any kind of a “response” by the rulers of the Deep State to a situation that America has been repeatedly assured is environmentally calamitous. And as we are supposed to be in the hands of those who LOVE Planet Earth and live for the Green Movement, this lack of concern for a real “environmental crisis” beggars the imagination.
And it’s not just East Palestine that is imperiled, but the entire “promised land ” of the Middle West – a/k/a “flyover country”– along with northeast America and a good deal of highly populated regions in Canada! The Norfolk Southern Railroad’s governing board’s response to the disaster obviously represents a return to a more backward environmental era! For in a display of unfathomable irrationality they failed to bring expertise to the fore and instead decided to burn voluminous amounts of the extremely toxic chemical vinyl chloride and other poisons being transported on the derailed train cars rather than taking the time to transport them to a remote site where they could have been buried in a manner to prevent leakage either back to the surface or into the water table. Of course, this is always assuming that the decision was made by the railroad for the quiet and deadly hand of the Deep State may well have had a part in the matter. Indeed, usually such an overwhelming response in these highly public matters is the opposite of “good business practices,” thus suggesting that the force behind the action was not a private concern.
The train disaster occurred on February 3rd when a two-mile long convoy of 150 cars powered by 3 locomotives, many of them loaded with the aforesaid and other toxic cargo derailed as it passed through the town. Those addressing the matter, dilly-dallied for two days doing nothing before deciding on the controlled burn that has been the cause of the ensuing tragedy. Such a response is understandably burning many people up. Vinyl chloride, when burned produces hydrogen chloride and phosgene. The latter is the gas that was used by the combatants during the “Great War,” World War One, the war was that was considered so bad it would end any future warfare save for small “brush conflicts.” Phosgene causes lung damage, and with sufficient exposure, asphyxiation, while hydrogen chloride corrodes any living tissue with which it comes into contact. Phosgene has long been banned by the international community as a legal instrument of warfare. That must have been comforting to the residents of East Palestine!
The result of this so-called “control burn” was a huge toxic mushroom cloud that, settling back to earth, poisoned everything with which it came into contact including the air, the land, the water and all life in the area, animal, vegetable or human. Animals began dying in droves. Of course, these toxic poisons entered local tributaries of the Ohio River and thence into the River itself, a primary source of water for 30 million America
