There's a Real Environmental Catastrophe Unfolding In Ohio and the Media Is Downplaying It Or Just Not Reporting It for Some Reason
A train derailment last week in Ohio has turned into a full-fledged environmental disaster, and it's received surprisingly little national media coverage. Last Friday, a train belonging to Norfolk Southern, one of America's leading rail operators, derailed near the Pennsylvania border, leaving what the Associated Press called "a mangled and charred mass of boxcars and flames" just outside the village of East Palestine, home to about 5,000 people. The crash created a 50-car pileup--half the train's length. According to Norfolk Southern, a fifth of the cars were carrying hazardous materials. The wreckage proceeded to burn ominously all weekend. By Sunday evening, residents near the train tracks were told to "immediately evacuate" in a sudden alert from the office of Governor Mike DeWine. He went on to warn: "There is now the potential of catastrophic tanker failure which could cause an explosion with the potential of deadly shrapnel traveling up to a mile." Apparently a particular cause for concern were 14 giant tankers that were "exposed to fire" while full of hundreds of thousands of gallons of vinyl chloride. A chemical used in PVC, vinyl chloride is flammable, toxic, and a declared brain, lung, blood, and liver carcinogen. The federal government banned it from household spray cans in 1974. Breathing it "can make you dizzy or sleepy, or have a headache," a fact sheet released two days ago by the Ohio Department of Health alerts readers. "You can die from breathing extremely high levels of vinyl chloride." It also boils at just 8 degrees Fahrenheit--meaning moving it into containers that cleanup crews could cart away probably wasn't a safe option.Instead, the cleanup crew performed a "controlled burn," burning the stuff up. But the byproducts of incineration are also dangerous.
Residents told the local news they "fear[ed] for their lives." One said that even indoors, "You could smell it and taste it, and I had a headache." Meanwhile, the crash site was leaching other hazardous materials besides vinyl chloride. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says they seeped into surrounding waterways, and "were immediately toxic to fish"--though it added that "actions were taken to minimize that." The agency has assured the public that, the poor aquatic life's fate notwithstanding, everybody's drinking water was "protected."Bullsh!t. So why is the media covering up what would usually be a four-alarm fire of a story? Well, because it's happening on Biden's watch, and because the media knows that this disaster is once again well beyond the capabilities of the Secretary of Transportation, Mayor Butt, to manage. So into the Quiet Pile the story goes.
This Twitter user gives his own report after noting the derailment hasn't gotten much national media attention, and the media reporting it has gotten is "not good."

Extremely toxic liquid vinyl chloride was leaking so authorities planned a “controlled burn” but that created hydrogen chloride acid that clings to water
Basically acid rainpic.twitter.com/gIsaKqm114
Nothing to see here. Just the toxic cloud from the controlled explosion from the East Palestine train derailment.

Vinyl Chloride is the monomer that is used to make polyvinyl chloride plastic. You likely have a lot of that in your drain pipes in your house. PVC is used everywhere.
Burning it to make it into HCL is not the worst possible outcome, although this is all dangerously grotesque.
East Palestine is in the northeast corner of Ohio, near the Pennsylvania border. Pittsburgh is the largest city near it, to the southeast.
I get lots of local news coverage of this, but it is strange that it does not get more national coverage.
Strange. But not in Biden world, I guess.

There but for the grace of God go I. I've thought about a derailment before, and wondered how bad it would be.
Pretty f*cking bad, apparently.

The 2015 Gold King Mine waste water spill was an environmental disaster that began at the Gold King Mine near Silverton, Colorado, when Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) personnel, along with workers for Environmental Restoration LLC (a Missouri company under EPA contract to mitigate pollutants from the closed mine), caused the release of toxic waste water into the Animas River watershed.
In other words, another government-triggered environmental disaster.

The Democrat Establishment does not like her.
No, she has no chance to become president. They'd throw everything at her to defeat her in a Democrat primary, and they'd cheat her to lose if she won the Republican nomination or ran third party/independent (not that anyone in a third party would have a shot anyway).

Apparently, the RR (Norfolk Southern) company in Ohio runs the state. Then you have a Republican as the governor and madness ensues. Acid rain and Phosgene will decimate the zones ecology.
The company with “market value of $55 billion fought the Federal Railroad Administration’s push to upgrade the ‘Civil War era’ brake system that remains widely used in American trains, and against stricter rules on the transport of hazardous materials.”
Everyone: Meet Alan Shaw. He’s the CEO of Norfolk Southern, the train company responsible for the derailment. He’s also funding COP CITY, in Atlanta GA.
So, funding Cop Cities is why people especially this Journalist was arrested? That what it is sounding like to me. Fund the enforcers so they will serve and protect your interest. Thanks for sharing this enlightening info!!

The GOPe wants to run someone like Mittens on a platform of "All the Woke stuff the left wants but slower and more completely administered!"
Posted by: 18-1
--------
The more people that run, the easier it is for Trump to win as he probably has a 30 percent lower limit for support. The primary problem for DeSantis is how do you address all these favorite sons e.g. Tim Scott is discussing running in SC and now Sununu in the NH primary which are crucial for a challenger to win to get momentum.
It may be that the GOPe are resigned to or want to have Trump and DeSantis take each other out leaving room for some dark horse like Youngkin or Kemp to be the nominee at the convention.

The GOPe is stupid, unless they rig the primaries similar to how the Donks did, it's going to come down to the only two candidates that are acceptable to the Base, last time it was Cruz and Trump, if DeSantis runs it will be him and Trump, with Trump ultimately taking it.
DeSantis has nothing to run on except I'm going to do everything Trump did except better.

I still maintain that DeSantis won't run at all unless he feels Trump is weak enough. He won't make a decision until at least summer when it's Trump vs. 31 flavors of GOPe, and Trump is never winning by less than 30 points against the number 2 candidate.
With that kind of field, Trump doesn't look weak. He looks like he's running away with the race, and DeSantis never enters the race.

Was the decision to burn it off and accept the consequences of hydrogen chloride not a good choice, but perhaps the least-bad choice? If you have tankers on the brink of exploding and no way to safely move them, cool them or contain them, then is opening the valves and burning off the contents a shitty thing that has to be done simply because it's less shitty than the alternative? Because if that's the case, I can understand the decision. If it's the Kobayashi Maru and there's no way to win, then picking the way likely to make you lose the least makes some sense.
Beyond that, at what level is vinyl chloride actually dangerous? Is it PPB or PPM? Because after the initial shock in the water, dilution is usually a good thing - but if the stuff is insanely toxic then the river might be inadequate.
It's certainly bad and people should leave that area, but what are the long-term effects? Once it's over, is it over or are there more serious downstream consequences?

The splitter strategy is a classic GOPe move but usually it is to the benefit of an established warhorse. GWB in 2000, McCain in 2008, Romney in 2012 and so on. Not sure what is going on here as GOPe does not really have a established GOPe candidate with wide popular support. So why run the Nikki's, Scott's, Sununu's, Hogan's, and other such if they want DeSantis?
Only thing I can think of is a brokered convention where they insert a mystery candidate but that may as you say be giving them too much credit.

>>It may be that the GOPe are resigned to or want to have Trump and DeSantis take each other out leaving room for some dark horse like Youngkin or Kemp to be the nominee at the convention.
The GOPe is stupid, unless they rig the primaries similar to how the Donks did, it's going to come down to the only two candidates that are acceptable to the Base, last time it was Cruz and Trump, if DeSantis runs it will be him and Trump, with Trump ultimately taking it.
DeSantis has nothing to run on except I'm going to do everything Trump did except better.
And that's not going to cut it.
Posted by: Thomas Bender at February 13, 2023 12:36 PM (MDmJR)
If DeSantis actually ran on a platform like that, I think he'd run away with the nomination, and even the presidency (if, of course, the GOP still has a way to get to 270 EVs in 2024). Not sure if his money handlers would back that message, however.

It takes more than a minor celebrity profile to win a national nomination for president. Normally, it's a massive political infrastructure that can mobilize in key states for months. Trump did it through taking up all the media oxygen in the room and saying things people liked.
The idea that mild-mannered Ben Carson, political neophyte, had a remote chance of being more than a week-long flash in the pan during the primary was silly.

Salmon are exquisitely genetically tuned for a particular river or stream. If you lose all the salmon in a stream, you can't replace them with other salmon - the genetics are too different. It is equivalent to wiping out an entire species.

Of course, this could all be BS, but it sounds to me like everyone's egos got involved. The person doing the media briefing could have had more patience. The reporter could have treated the briefing as a briefing and not tried to treat it like his personal live broadcast. The police could have done a simple no trespass or a warning to treat the briefing as such and follow the protocols for that. IE listen while they're talking, then ask questions in turn.
Note, I am not saying the chemical disaster is not serious. I'm not saying there isn't some coverup going on. I just don't think this narrative that they're shutting up reporters for telling the truth because it's a huge coverup is entirely correct.

May be worth adding to this story, with a link. It's the National Association of Counties conference.
Most of the Twitter replies laugh at Butty for not knowing that whites are in fact underrepresented in construction jobs, and Hispanics very much overrepresented - as anyone who's ever driven past a construction site with his eyes open and brain turned on would know.

It's not that there was no water in the Aral Sea, it's that what remained was so salty basically nothing could live in it. After the local governments changed their policies and allowed more water to run back into it, the salinity dropped, and they seem to have successfully reintroduced flounder, mackerel, and a few other species. It's kind of a fascinating story, really.

1492 is good, not great. So sue me, I like GI Jane. It's dumb, but it's fun. Hannibal is a wonderful operatic monster movie. A Good Year...I haven't seen in forever but remember finding it fine. American Gangster is awesome. Body of Lies is similar to A Good Year...it's been way too long. I really like the Robin Hood. It's overcomplicated and has the silly Marian as a soldier stuff, but it's outright libertarian in the best of ways while gorgeous to look at. And damn, I do like Exodus as well. Probably his best looking film, at the least.

The salinity increase and drying of the lake led to the local extinction of the Aral trout, ruffe, Turkestan barbel, and all sturgeon species, and dams now block their return and migration routes; the Aral trout and Syr Darya sturgeon (Pseudoscaphirhynchus fedtschenkoi) may be extinct due to their restricted range. All other native fish, barring the stickleback (which persisted during the lake's shrinkage and salinity increase), were also extirpated, but many have returned to the North Aral Sea following its recovery from the 1990s onwards.

Maybe but the whole favorite son strategy in early primaries effectively blocks that approach. Outside candidates depend on the early three primaries of Iowa (yeah I know it is a caucus), New Hampshire, and South Carolina to build momentum as the rest of the primary schedule rapidly becomes impossible for candidates without a large infrastructure in other states.
It is a sequential game theory approach and very difficult to calculate for minor candidates as you have to have the infrastructure in later states and that requires winning the early primaries to gain money and momentum in time to set up that infrastructure for later primaries.

Massive Russian advance attempts are taking place along virtually the entire Donbas front. So far with devastating consequences - especially for the Russian army. It remains questionable how long Ukraine can withstand the onslaught of 300,000 men.

Trump is running an insider campaign in the states this time--he is not an insurgent candidate so he is coopting the establishment in critical states like South Carolina. His rally with Ladybugs Lindsay and Henry McMaster is designed to block out much support statewide for Tim Scott or Nikki.
That is certainly a risk though if the GOP electorate in 2024 wants a change because it makes DeSantis the change agent.

GOP had (in the past-dunno about today) many less states that allocate delegates proportionally than Dems and did not have the whole super delegate etc. provisions. Harder for an insurgent candidate to break through under those conditions plus adding South Carolina in 88 served as a firewall in the GOP for the frontrunners as Carroll Campbell built a GOP political machine still running the state.

WTF? Where has this been happening?
A lot of the contested areas in Donetsk oblast have been fortified for years by the Ukes (it's a secret to many, but the war there's' gone on for 9 years now). So taking territory there can be very slow, costly, and even leaving aside Russia's inability to mount serious combined arms maneuver operations, it's a slog by its very nature.
And little if any of the action by either side has involved mass frontal assaults (and "frontal assaults" are kind of your only option in properly fortified areas, so smaller ones have been frequent).

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) &/or others (i.e., Chemical Safety Board (CSB), etc.) that are advisory in nature, will appear to gather reports of actions that were taken, or not, in response to the incident and combine the findings into a report of corrective recommendations for abatement & best practices that are unlikely to be implemented because of time, $, infrastructure, lack of multiple agency coordination, etc.

My biggest issues with DeSantis is that there is no rational for his run, there's also no getting around the Hale/Yarvard/MIC/Skull and Bones pedigree.
Also of note, he was already a no-account, useless POS congressman for 8 years, he knows what the score is, he's not going to Washington to tell the humps what's what, he was one of those humps and he knows that rank and file are just cogs and votes for the machine, a machine that is not run by the sitting President of The US.

With the exception of the initial 60,000 ft. altitude F-22 strike on the Original Balloon, all subsequent strikes were at altitudes easily reachable by non-exotic fighters, such as the F-15 or F-16. Both include two seat versions, with most squadrons including one such for training purposes, and F15-E Strike Eagles are all two seaters, of course.
I'll wager a $20 (same as in town), that before the Sidewinder were Fox-Two'd, that the GIB on a two-seat ship utilized a pro-grade DSLR, and zinged off hundreds of frames of still or actual video photography of the objects in question. Probably from only a few hundred yards separation on a series of close fly-bys.
We have not, of course, seen one single frame or photo from such, but I'll guarandamnteeya, they exist. They'll not let us see them (un-photoshopped, anyway), because too many out here have the knowledge and ability to examine such pics, and make sense of what they're seeing, then tell the rest of us what's up with things.
Long as we're not seeing those pics, it's proof that they're lying to us, still. Q.E.D.

That is a significant overstatement. Conscript armies that Russia have are scarcely better in training and arguably poorer in morale.
Right now, most of the information we get is inaccurate particularly by authorities on the subject so you have to use indirect methods to get an rough idea of the truth. E.g. statements against interest such as using the Russian mil bloggers issuing statements against Russian interests and it is much harder to determine exactly where Ukrainians are military wise as they have been much more effective at OpSec than the Russians are. You can see occasionally Western intel agencies such as Germany issue statements against interests about the Ukrainians.

Depends on who they are facing and teh fact that Ukraine is not a life or death struggle for Russians like WWII. Might cause Putin's demise but that is far from a winning rationale for those doing human wave attacks.

Schoolteacher in a truck on the tracks trying to stop the US Air Force from transporting an alien?
Need to check for any kids in the area who could have been filming a home movie at the time of the derailment...

The above is normally a misdemeanor, however bodily injury of the victim elevates the action to a felony. The phrase "Color of law" means pretense of law. It is used in this law because any law that claims to take Constitutional rights away from people is null and void from the moment it is written.
The reporter should have arrested the people who were arresting him, any citizen may arrest someone who commits a felony in their presence. Learn the Miranda warning.
The time for being nice, polite, and civil toward those who are uncivil, is over.

Plant run by Indians, with their noted high regard for safety, check.
Plant surrounded, right to the very fence, with a tent city full of poor Indian bums, who took the brunt of the chemical release.

The next town over, the release instantly killed everyone's chickens. This stuff is catnip for human cancer
"My video camera footage shows my chickens were perfectly fine before they started this burn, and as soon as they started the burn, my chickens slowed down and they died,”

FORMER Sunoco refinery. They left the refining business in 2012, and the company does not even exist any more. I am stuck with what is left of some of their stock, "Energy Partners." They thought there'd be better money in milk and Twinkies.
A lot of us real conservatives here sure as hell have some hippy-dippy heebie-jeebies about large scale industrial processes. You are mush-mouthed weaklings. Go scrabble in the woods with the rest of the squattopee commies.

But the byproducts of incineration are also dangerous."
On this point they didn't really have a choice. A BLEVE explosion in that situation could be in the kiloton range.
Where they fucked up massively was in downplaying the environmental effects of their lesser-evil decision and generally botching the evacuations. You have locals thinking that N95 masks are going to protect them from the byproducts.

Now that Musk owns Twitter I would like to see him actually put this into real practice by employing AI to compile first hand reports of a situation and release a real "on-the-scene" news story eliminating the need for media altogether. He could replace AP reporting with good software.

I'm making $100 an hour working from home. i was greatly surprised at the same time as my neighbour advised me she changed into averaging $100 however I see the way it works now. I experience mass freedom now that I'm my non-public boss.
