Another Train Carrying Toxic Chemicals Derails;
Mayor Butt Does His Alfred E. Neuman Impression
A very convincing impression it is.
Before getting to that:
The Biden administration turned down a request for federal disaster assistance from Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine in the aftermath of the train derailment in the state earlier this month that led to a large release of toxic chemicals. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) told Ohio's state government that it was not eligible for disaster assistance to help the community recover from the toxic spill, Dan Tierney, a spokesperson for DeWine, told Fox News Digital on Thursday. Tierney explained that FEMA believed the incident didn't qualify as a traditional disaster, such as a tornado or hurricane, for which it usually provides assistance. "The DeWine Administration has been in daily contact with FEMA to discuss the need for federal support, however FEMA continues to tell Governor DeWine that Ohio is not eligible for assistance at this time," DeWine's office said in a statement earlier in the day. "Governor DeWine will continue working with FEMA to determine what assistance can be provided."If that's the rule, that's the rule... I guess. Although I think someone should quickly tie a noose-shaped garage pull and take a picture of it-- federal reinforcements will come rolling in like oranges. Or claim THE RUSSIANS did it. That'll light a fire under the Deep State. The water's perfectly fine to drink, officials assure us:
Even MORE proof that the EPA is LYING to the people of East Palestine.

Women linked with anarchist group charged with terrorist attack on train tracks north of SeattleThey were trying to derail trains with tanks of dangerous toxic chemicals, you say...?
'Shunts' placed on train tracks caused the near-derailment of tanks of hazardous chemicals in a residential area, federal prosecutors say Danielle Wallace
By Danielle Wallace | Fox News Federal authorities in Seattle on Monday charged two women with a terrorist attack on train tracks, suggesting they were working with an anarchist community to stand in solidarity with a Native American tribe to oppose the construction of a natural gas pipeline across the Canadian province of British Columbia by trying to derail trains in Washington state. Samantha Frances Brooks, 27, and Ellen Brennan Reiche, 23, were arrested Saturday night in Bellingham, located in Whatcom County, which borders Canada, as they allegedly placed "shunts" on Burlington Northern Santa Fe tracks, according to a complaint filed by the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Western District of Washington Monday. A shunt is comprised of wire and magnets that are strung across the tracks, mimicking the electrical signal of a train. The two women were charged in connection to Saturday's incident, but there have been 41 incidents of shunts placed on the BNSF tracks in Whatcom and Skagit counties since January. Shunts were placed in areas that disrupt the crossing guards where the tracks cross streets, so vehicles could have tried to cross the tracks unaware of the oncoming train, U.S. Attorney Brian T. Moran said.
A Washington state woman has been sentenced to a year in prison for sabotaging railroad tracks near the US-Canada border in Washington state in an attempt to derail a train carrying crude oil. Ellen Brennan Reiche of Bellingham was sentenced Dec. 17 in US District Court in Seattle to 12 months and one day in prison for committing an act of violence against a railroad carrier. Reiche is also required to complete 100 hours of community service while on federal supervision. On Nov. 28, 2020, two women from Bellingham, Samantha Frances Brooks, 27, and Ellen Brennan Reiche, 23, were arrested and charged with terrorism after an attack on BNSF railroad by allegedly placing a "shunt" on the tracks which disrupts the low-level electrical current on the tracks and can disable the train's safety features. Reiche, who identifies as "non-binary" and uses "they/them" pronouns, was the deputy field organizer for Washington State Democrats, according to their now-deleted LinkedIn profile.Obviously. I don't know why you even bothered to write that.
... Deputies located a wire shunt between the tracks in the area where Brooks and Reiche were seen and a bag Reiche was carrying contained rubber gloves, a piece of black insulated copper wire and a Makita drill with a wheel-shaped brush attachment, according to court records. The wire found in the bag was similar to the wire used in shunting incidents, according to the Department of Justice.Good thing she wasn't "parading"! Good thing she didn't steal a coat rack! Then she'd see real time behind bars! Anarchists and antifa are attempting to derail many, many trains with these shunts. This was not some kind of one-off. Kyle Shideler:
Federal law enforcement had been investigating a series of over 41 separate incidents of shunts being placed on the BNSF tracks over the past year, including one which led to the decoupling of a train carrying placarded hazardous materials. According to the federal complaint, a posting on the anarchist website Itsgoingdown.com (IGD) described the shunting campaign as being carried out in solidarity with Canadian indigenous tribes seeking to prevent the construction of an oil pipeline in British Columbia. The post also provided instructions for how to carry out sabotage efforts, noting,Kyle Shideler noted in September that for some reason which we can only guess at, the George Washington University Program on Extremism supposedly conducted a "study" on threats to infrastructure from extremist groups. They included jihadists and "white supremacist" groups in the study. They ignored the threats posed by radical leftwing environmental and anarchist groups, for reasons you can probably guess.As the federal complaint indicates, it can also lead to train derailment, loss of life, and the dispersing of hazardous chemicals into residential areas. It is worth noting the role played by IGD, which included both publicizing terror attacks, as well as providing clear instructions for those inspired to carry out future attacks. As the Center for Security Policy testified before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, Subcommittee on the Constitution, websites like IGD play a crucial role in anarchist and Antifa organizing:
"With high resolution maps, Google Street view, good scouting, and a little flexibility, this tactic is fast and discreet. On a single rail track with a Centralized Traffic Control (CTC) system, this simple action can generate enough confusion in the system to cause big slow down and bureaucratic delays."
Reiche and Brooks were charged under 18 U.S. Code § 1992, "Terrorist attacks and other violence against railroad carriers and against mass transportation systems on land, on water, or through the air," and carries a possible penalty of up to 20 years in prison. 18 U.S. Code § 1992 is one of several terrorism statutes which would allow individuals who assisted in the shunting campaign to be charged with material support for terrorism (18 U.S. Code § 2339A), including those providing "training, expert advice or assistance." It could reasonably be argued that IGD played a role in providing "expert advice or assistance" in this case. "Expert advice or assistance" are strictly defined terms in the law however, so that a prosecutor would need to show the website provided more than simply "general knowledge" to potential terrorists. The targeting of rail infrastructure by anarchists has been increasing in recent years, as anarchist networks and publications have repeatedly emphasized the deleterious economic effect of targeting railways and shared methods and tactics for targeting rail infrastructure.
Antifa websites describe in detail how to organize affinity groups and chapters, how to vet potential members, prevent infiltration, and securely communicate. Such websites play a key role in spreading propaganda, distributing new tactics, techniques, and procedures, and raising calls to action.
Emphasis added.
Authored by Ilana Krill & Bennett Clifford, Mayhem, Murder, and Misdirection: Violent Extremist Attack Plots Against Critical Infrastructure in the United States, 2016-2022 has several methodological problems. To begin with, it examines plots against critical infrastructure targets where suspects were federally charged, and from this pool it considers only those plots perpetrated by Salafi-Jihadist or white supremacist actors. In calculating plots, rather than perpetrated offenses, you risk basing threat analysis on what may have been improbable (although perhaps still criminal) flights of fantasy, rather terrorist operations which represent a genuine threat to critical infrastructure. This is particularly true in analyzing white supremacist actors, who are notoriously prone to elaborate plot ideation for attacks which they lack any ability or opportunity to conduct. The result is a form of survivorship bias which analyzes threats to critical infrastructure primarily from disrupted or broken up plots, which may not tell us much about prospective dangers. While disrupted plots may reveal where federal authorities are expending counterterrorism efforts, it does not necessarily cover which ideological threats are most likely to conduct actual critical infrastructure attacks. In this case it merely confirms what is already known from press reports and congressional hearings, which is that federal authorities have judged white supremacist terrorism as the most important threat and are focusing their efforts on it, as opposed to other, potential threats. ... The authors cite a report (Ackerman, 2006) noting that religiously motivated terrorists (including jihadists) and domestic right-wing extremist organizations may have the highest potential for future attacks, while failing to note that the same report states: "Left‐Wing and Islamist groups attack [critical infrastructure] more frequently than other types of groups."
The authors claimed that only jihadists and white supremacists were studied because these two groups represent the greatest threat to commit terrorist acts involving violence to people. But, Shideler notes, this makes no sense, because the study is about threats to physical infrastructure, not people. The authors seem to have grasped at any conceivable excuse to not study leftwing terrorist groups, who commit far more attacks against trains, power plants, and other infrastructure. It's like saying you only studied the Crips in your carjacking study, because the Crips are known to sell more crack, while ignoring the Bloods, who actually commit the most carjackings. What?
To their credit, the authors do acknowledge that other ideological threat actors can and do target infrastructure, yet the decision to simply obliviate these other threats from the sample results in a diminished product.Intentionally so.

Any serious illness that affects one's quality of life in a significant way either physically or mentally or both can very well cause depression. I feel sorry for Fedderman as he no longer has control over his life. He probably saw going inpatient was the only way to escape the others controlling him. I doubt he will every return to the Senate.

Gotta love those ecoterrorists who try to cause toxic chemical spills, set fires to car dealerships which burns gobs of plastics and other synthetics, creating toxic smoke, vandalize animal testing labs and release animals into non-native habitats, spike trees to kill loggers at the cost of killing trees the loggers were ... going to kill anyway, sail the high seas in oil-burning ships to damage or sink whaling ships - attempting spilling their oil into the sea.
It's almost like these eco-terrorists are pretty damn good at terrorizing the ecosystem...

Calif has a law on hold due to a Judge, that says that if a Doctor gives misinformation about Covid, including questioning the vaccine (verbatim in the bill) its a professional hit which will take away their Doc License in Calif.

In 2021, there were 1,087 derailments that resulted in 83 injuries and three fatalities, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation's Bureau of Transportation Statistics. That's down from 1,440 derailments in 2011 and down from 2,234 derailments in 2001.
Between 1990 and 2021, there were a total of 54,570 derailments, for an average of 1,705 a year.
Most of those are very minor though, in rail yards, etc. Not very many of them are major with multiple cars scattered all over the place or on fire. We're just more aware of them than usual (Amtrak especially doesn't want people thinking about trains coming off the tracks). Rail maintenance is really expensive, and sometimes the rails can get pretty wiggly over time.

Geez, it almost makes you think that all the "approved and reliable" media gather by Zoom every morning and decide which stories to promote and which to spike, brainstorm Democrat talking points, warn of potential conservative spin and how to stifle or ridicule it, and make sure all their little stories are in line with The Narrative.

That's particularly cute. Because it isn't like level crossings aren't already one of the greater common hazards you have to pay damned close attention to while driving. Making them malfunction is *extremely* reckless and dangerous. Not to mention that, if successful, they'll also traumatize the engineer who just accidentally killed someone through no fault of his own, right along with the victim's family who lost a loved one, all for literally *no* reason at all. Utterly senseless.
Of all brands of terrorists, eco-terrorists are particularly contemptible. At least the Arab terrorists are trying to achieve the global caliphate. The eco-terrorists literally *just* want the death of human beings. The death is its own reward for those ghouls.

Because he's covering up a crime scene. If you bring in outside resources they may find it's far worse than you said.
And the liability and thus costs to the railroad and possibly the state will be much much higher.
So he can make it look like Biden doesn't care. That's how evil they are. I guess he doesn’t want to add to the Republicans idea, of possibly not raising the debt ceiling. FEMA might need that additional money from Congress.
Then....the wet blanket reality poster Ohio local news is saying he did But FEMA is saying the disaster isn't eligible.
Followed by the liberal knight still trying to spin blame:
Perhaps because DeWine has yet to DECLARE it a disaster? Asking for help from some agencies, but, not taking the steps needed to bring in FEMA? Purposeful?

It gets even worse: “We want to be clear,” Swaim read from the report. “The magnitude of California’s decline is larger than that of other states and cannot be explained by a lower stock market on its own.” To show that it was a uniquely California issue, the research article showed graphs of how Texas was not suffering from the same afflictions.
Uhhh, Texas doesn't have an income tax. *This* is "journalism?"
“The weakness is likely being compounded by tech layoffs and the migration of the highest income taxpayers out of the state. The state is too dependent on the small number of taxpayers leaving. Tax policy is killing the Golden Goose in the Golden State.”
Yeah. "Eat the rich" works until you finish eating them or, upon decided that they don't want to be eaten, they leave. Being utterly dependent on a tiny sliver of your population is akin to having one customer: you'd better not lose that customer.

It's traditional State of California financing - when capital gains taxes are high, they further bloat the size of state government, and then have a financial crisis when the capital gains taxes go away.
Amazingly, Oregon has a "kicker", which refunds unexpected state income tax revenues to taxpayers, so Oregon state government can't do that.
Although the Left in Oregon hates the "kicker", that haven't dared try to eliminate it.

Almost all of the $$$, training, resources, and responsibility for such a response is at the state and local level - as in all states, and forever. Louisiana's and NOLA's pathetic incompetent clownshow governments failed, utterly. And obviously. Coastal MS got hit in apocalyptic fashion - yet that went pretty well. NOLA basically had a levee fail after a windstorm, leading to a partial flooding. Both state and city utterly failed to implement even their own dubious response plans.
Yet it was a federal, Bush "scandal". As absurd - and reliant on an ignorant public - as "RUSSIA!".

Yeah it is really depressing to me sometimes how much the media manages to convince even people who really should know damn well better. Initially people resist but eventually with enough lies and enough time, it becomes "common knowledge" which is just a batch of lies.
I used to have a semi-regular piece on my blog about Common Knowledge, how so much of what we presume about things is false and we've been misled by press over time. Stuff like Kitty Genovese, Kent State, Radon Gas, the list goes on and on. Of all the stuff I had on my blog, that was the stuff I feel bad about deleting.

Railroads don't get fed money to maintain their roads (unlike fed highway tax dollars). They pay for their own road annd equipment upkeep.
And guess what. When inflation or a poor economy cut into revenues, there's less money for the railroads for road and equipment maintenance.

Well I don't know if its true or not, but what is being reported and has been reported in Ohio is that on scene the temperature in the tanks was rising relatively quickly and they were looking at the potential for a catastrophic explosion of the tanks scattering shrapnel for a mile or so. So they vented the tanks - the concern being then that the vented material would seep into the ground in its highly toxic state. They elected to set it on fire, so that it would denature most of it, and while the byproducts were still dangerous they were less persistent in the environment. Certainly the idea of rapid clean up and rapid reopening was appealing to the company and the politicians. And given the wind direction - "its Pittsburg's problem now" was while unspoken, part of the process.

The train had about 200 people on it, but suddenly all of the neighborhood residents appeared and went into the train and pretended they were passengers with injuries and were going to sue Amtrack.

The VA denied the request. The veteran made funeral arrangements, and then took his life behind the mortuary that would handle his funeral service.

CA is a major information-age economic engine, but little of what it produces aside from federal tax revenues is all that necessary. It's all luxury shit. And I mean *SHIT*. Digital media.
Aside from that - nothing. We need nothing from them.

Federal disaster relief would have been approved in less than 8 hours if this train had derailed in a small Mississippi Cotton Pickin' Delta Town*. Brandon would have ordered FEMA to disregard the laws and rules and get there in force, now. You know why.

This. I thought the same thing. The whole point of volatile organic compounds is that they evaporate; that's what gasoline components, for example, are designed to do. It's their reason for existence. But no reason not to be a politician, no matter what the truth is.

What happens if you don't light it on fire, and the tank cars are ruptured and leaking anyway? You're going to let a toxic, and carcinogenic, cloud of inflammable vapor spread and spread and spread, until it finally encounters a source of ignition, and all goes up in a gigantic fuel-air explosion? Burning it off is the least-worst option at that point.

Broadening Emergency Management (1950 – 1977)
World War II and the Cold War brought a new national focus on civil defense and continuity operations. Emergency management began to evolve from a term that primarily referred to the Federal role in mobilizing the Nation for war to a more holistic definition to include both natural hazards and man-made incidents.

An occurrence of a natural catastrophe, technological accident, or humancaused event that has resulted in severe property damage, deaths, and/or
multiple injuries. As used in this Guide, a “large-scale disaster” is one that
exceeds the response capability of the local jurisdiction and requires State, and
potentially Federal, involvement. As used in the Stafford Act, a “major
disaster” is “any natural catastrophe [...] or, regardless of cause, any fire, flood,
or explosion, in any part of the United States, which in the determination of the
President causes damage of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant major
disaster assistance under [the] Act to supplement the efforts and available
resources or States, local governments, and disaster relief organizations in
alleviating the damage, loss, hardship, or suffering caused thereby.”
