The Morning Report — 2/21/23

Good morning kids. So, Ohio got rocked again when an explosion at a factory in the town of Bedford caused molten metal to go flying in all directions. You gotta wonder.

In any case, at the tail end of yesterday's comments, after I had railed against what I felt was incompetence and gross negligence in the handling of the derailment, one commenter shed some light as to why the first responders did what they did (Note: Do not comment on old threads as you risk accidentally banning yourself):

Your retired engineer doesn't seem to have much experience with certain chemicals. What he envisions happens to these railcars is not what happens. I was a chemical engineer for Dow Chemical for nearly 10 years, and in a plant that handled vinyl chloride and other similar chemicals in pressurized tanks. First, there was a fire at the derailment. Not sure what it was, but reports were that there was already a fire. As the tank cars holding certain chemicals like vinyl chloride heat, they pressurize because the liquid starts to boil. These tank cars are not vented because of the type of chemical they carry. If the fire around these cars can't be contained, the danger is that these tank cars will BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion). Look it up. These are explosions that look like those failed NASA rocket launches of the 1950's and 1960's. If that had happened to the railcars, it would have wiped the town off the map. It really would have been like a small nuclear explosion, just without the radioactivity.

I suspect the emergency responders were trying to prevent that by burning off the chemicals more gradually and without the overpressurization of the tank cars.

While this of course does, to a certain extent, make me reconsider my initial reaction, at least insofar as those individuals closest to the action on the ground who no doubt live in or near the area, I responded thusly:

Your points are well taken and thank you. My concern is, given who is running this government and the level of competency now that DEI rules the day in hiring practices, as well as the railroad itself, how can we be sure that the situation was as they claimed it to be?

Recall that there was an actual reporter on site close enough to witness what was going on and he was arrested. For his own protection because he was a pain in the ass? Could be. Because he would have seen things that painted the responders and government in a less than favorable light? Ditto.

Either way, thanks to COVID and the election thievery and the blatant persecution of the DOJ/FBI/CIA, we can no longer trust people and institutions that we often rely on in life and death situations like this one.

All around a shitty position to be in.

While normally I would say that we won't really know what happened until there is a full investigation from the DOT, NTSB and other agencies, given what I stated in response to that commenter, will we really know what happened with either any degree of accuracy or, worse, because they know what happened and are intentionally withholding or otherwise obfuscating the facts to protect or advance a preferred narrative? Further on up the food chain, of course are state and federal officials up to and including the figurehead vegetable occupying the Oval Office.

So, while East Palestine and the surrounding area was not, as the commenter feared, "wiped . . . off the map. . . [in what] would have been like a small nuclear explosion, just without the radioactivity," the dumping and subsequent torching of thousands of gallons of vinyl chloride and whatever else was in those tank cars might very well turn the area into another uninhabitable wasteland like Love Canal.

Worse by orders of magnitude is FEMA's response in leaving the area to rot, mostly because they made the fateful mistake of overwhelmingly voting for Donald Trump in the past two national elections. That was the stab in the back. The follow-on stomping of the gonads was Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants jetting off to Ukraine for a photo-op with Zelensky to hand him more hundreds of millions of dollars while pushing for World War 3.

[East Palestine, Ohio Mayor Trent] Conaway stated that during their meeting, Norfolk Southern CEO Alan Shaw “seemed sincere. He seemed like he cared. And right now that’s the only thing — is it comforting? No. But we have to trust him right now. As soon as he does anything that we feel that we can’t trust, then I’ll have to go back to media or government officials that are higher than me to make him do what he said he’s going to do.”

Later, East Palestine resident Lenny Glavin asked, on behalf of host Jesse Watters, “[W]ith the President being in Ukraine today, did that surprise you?”

Conaway answered, “Absolutely. That was the biggest slap in the face. That tells you right now he doesn’t care about us. So, he can send every agency he wants to, but I found that out this morning in one of the briefings that he was in…Ukraine giving millions of dollars away to people over there, and not to us, and I’m furious.”

You may be furious, but the junta in power – and worse, an alarmingly large percentage of your erstwhile, putative fellow citizens – could care fuck all if you, your family, friends and neighbors were to drop dead tomorrow. Save them the trouble of rounding you up and putting you on trains. Meh, they'd probably derail just like this one did. But of course, the setting on fire thing would still happen, but it wouldn't be toxic chemicals that go up in smoke, IYKWIMAITYD:

In a newly signed executive order designed to use federal agencies to forcibly guarantee equality of outcome instead of equality of opportunity for Americans, President Joe Biden tacitly admitted his administration is collaborating with a prominent leftist group to advance neo-Marxism throughout the U.S. government.

Signed on Thursday, the order, titled “Further Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through The Federal Government,” seeks to expand the administration’s so-called “equity-advancing requirements for agencies.” Equity is a term regularly employed by leftists to cover up their true goal of dismissing merit and real equality in favor of discrimination on the basis of skin color. . .

. . . Buried within the order, however, is a directive for federal agencies to implement what’s called the “Justice40 Initiative.” While the document doesn’t specify what the mission of Justice40 is, a quick trip to the group’s website reveals it to be nothing more than an effort by left-wing activists to advance neo-Marxist policies under the guise of “environmental justice.”

. . . Back in July 2021, Biden officially adopted Justice40’s stated goal of providing at least 40 percent of federal investments “in climate and clean energy” to these so-called “disadvantaged communities.” In other words, the administration is distributing taxpayer money to certain jurisdictions based on racial demographics.

The policy is eerily similar to Covid-related guidance the administration released in December 2021, in which health-care providers were advised to prioritize racial and ethnic minorities in the dissemination of Covid treatments such as monoclonal antibodies.

This kind of sheds a bit of light as to why FEMA declared East Palestine and its environs "ineligible" for immediate disaster relief funds. It took two weeks of arm-twisting and pretty bad optics but supposedly FEMA has released the funds. One wonders to what extent the situation might have been ameliorated had the funds been available immediately. Do you think my implying that this junta and its supporters would go so far as to wish its enemies dead, or worse, actually abrogate their legal duty as elected official and moreover their moral duty as human beings, and do nothing while watching them die, is over the top?

Look to the scores of innocent people still rotting in jail, sentenced to federal prison or otherwise were destroyed in the wake of January 6th, 2021. Now look at the reaction from scum like Bennie Thompson when a massive archive of video footage from that day was made available to Tucker Carlson:

The chairman of the n0w-defunct January 6 Committee warned of the “potential security risks” of U.S. Capitol security footage being released to the media . . .

. . . “When the Select Committee obtained access to U.S. Capitol Police video footage, it was treated with great sensitivity given concerns about the security of lawmakers, staff, and the Capitol complex,” Thompson said.

“Access was limited to members and a small handful of investigators and senior staff, and the public use of any footage was coordinated in advance with Capitol Police. It’s hard to overstate the potential security risks if this material were to be used irresponsibly,” he added. . .

. . . Claiming that Carlson is a purveyor of misinformation, Thompson said McCarthy “owes the American people an explanation of why” he shared the footage with the Fox News host and “what steps he has taken to address the significant security concerns at stake.”

The only "security concerns" is that the American people will have concrete confirmation that what we all more or less believe happened on January 6th, 2021; that a Democrat/RINO-approved false flag operation carried out by agents of the DOJ/FBI entrapped unarmed and unsuspecting peaceful protesters and was used as a propaganda and legal weapon to persecute and prosecute all perceived enemies to further advance the fiction of a legitimate presidential election, and of a vast white supremacist conspiracy that threatens "our precious democracy" (*vomit).

National treasure and real journalist in every sense of the word Julie Kelly:

Releasing the video never should have been a political fight; after all, the footage was recorded on a taxpayer-paid closed circuit television system installed on public property to monitor public employees. Contrary to arguments by Capitol Police and the Justice Department, the video belongs to the public, not federal agencies.

But both entities, with the help of D.C. District Court judges, have successfully kept the trove largely under wraps for more than two years. Even the FBI and D.C. Metropolitan Police departments signed agreements a few days after the Capitol protest to acknowledge that the tapes technically belonged to Capitol Police. . .

. . . The Justice Department subsequently designated the tapes as “highly sensitive” government material subject to protective orders in January 6 prosecutions. It’s been a major battle for defendants and their attorneys to properly access all of the video tied to their cases; defendants cannot watch any clips without the presence of a legal authority and none of the footage can be shared or downloaded.

Imagine the universal outrage in any other situation had crucial video of what the government considered a terror attack been kept away from the public for more than two years. Influential opinion pages would have banged the drum incessantly for its release, insisting some sort of cover up was unfolding. Progressive activist groups and elected officials would demand a full accounting of what happened before, during, and after the “attack,” including all government-produced evidence. Influential lawyers and legal defense funds would lament the deprivation of due process for those involved in the allegedly heinous act.

Instead, the usual defenders of accountability, transparency, and constitutional rights have been completely AWOL. The fight has been waged by outmatched defense attorneys in the rigged legal and judicial system in the nation’s capital. And a handful of influencers like Carlson. . .

. . . One can only guess what the videos will reveal. It’s possible, even likely, the never-before-seen footage will show the elements of a preplanned attack engineered by the same political and government forces that attempted to destroy Donald Trump for the better part of six years. Will the tapes finally answer the questions that top law enforcement officials such as FBI Director Christopher Wray refuse to answer and the January 6 select committee buried—not the least of which was the role of the FBI?

Psaki-psircling back to Ohio, with everything we know about the bureaucracy at perhaps its most important level, those who are charged with keeping us safe from enemies foreign and domestic but instead are openly coddling, funding and supporting the former while painting those among us who oppose them as the latter, is it any wonder that my first instinct in the wake of the train wreck and subsequent dumping and incineration of the contents was to claim gross negligence and incompetence? And now, the Junta is weaponizing every department in every bureaucracy to be completely and stridently Marxist-Leninist in all its considerations and actions going forward.

As I said, it's a shitty situation to be in to trust no one in government. At some point, that might extend to neighbors and family if it hasn't already.

I watched a uTube vid the other day that was made by a railroad worker. He has a channel, so most of his stuff is just talking about trains. He went into detail on the sensors (he calls them cameras) that line railroad tracks and how they can detect "defects" on rail cars. Defects like locked wheels that can lead to overheated brakes, failure and potential derailment.

That was enlightening.

The system as set up does not need conscious thought or even malfeasance. That is the horror of the bureaucratic shit we saw throughout the 20th century. No one necessarily needs to be particularly evil or vindictive, the system just works by inertia and plausible deniability. The biases and little evils written into the system do all the work for them. This way the bureaucrats can contend that they are not really doing anything wrong, they are just following their guidelines and practices.

It is not just that. One of the reasons america worked is that you did not try to work against tribalism, you tried to make it work for you. You were not just black or white or catholic or protestant- you were american. This is similar to how Rome functioned- until it didn't. They are still trying to encourage tribalism in generic terms outside the physical, but it is about being a lefty or your sexuality, or your skin color.

Add to this the fact that we are more connected through the internet than ever before, but people feel more isolated than perhaps at any time in history. They are surrounded by people- all strangers that are alien to them.

The talk ruptured and turned into a rocket engine sending it and it's several ton steel cage skidding across a parking lot. The jet plume blew a very large overhead door into the high bay test area and nearly cut a guy in half.

That is what pressure relief valves are for. Everyone's hot water heater has one. I assume these tank cars had them too. The amount of discharge is proportional to the amount of heat added to the tank. I'm not sure if the PRV valves on the tank could vent quickly enough to keep the tank from rupturing if the relief vapor was on fire.

So turning up A/C 2 degrees saves about 2%. So on a $4000/yr Elec bill you can save 80 bucks. 80 time 20 is $1600.

186 DU doesn't agree with your assessment of government video belonging to the people: So 15-tries Speaker handed over 41,000 hours of the J6 tapes to Fucker Carson. How the fuck is this legal?

Why do you think it has to be legal? McCarthy is a fucking traitor/disaster, especially doing just as the Dominion story is breaking

Imagine what his clever editors could do with that footage to fit it all into the Big Lie playbook. Disgusting

The Capital police didn't want the location of cameras, exits, offices etc All explicitly laid out for the next attempted coup. Now of course, future insurrectionists have a well laid out video tour of the facility from every angle

I have been trying to figure out why McCarthy has the authority to release these tapes. As best I can figure, the Capitol Police gave some tapes to the January 6th committee, but they were careful to not reveal anything that might help other insurrectionists, such as camera placements or evacuation routes. Don’t the Capitol Police have a say? What about the Senate?

The Capitol Police answer to the House of Representatives, and McCarthy is the boss of the HoR. This is an odd little nuance in the bizarre structure of Washington, DC and I sure as hell didn't know it until the J6 debacle exposed some of that structure outside of "Inside Washington" type wonks, but it's been somewhat easy to find out since then.

200 Not sure what it was, but reports were that there was already a fire. As the tank cars holding certain chemicals like vinyl chloride heat, they pressurize because the liquid starts to boil. These tank cars are not vented because of the type of chemical they carry. If the fire around these cars can't be contained, the danger is that these tank cars will BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion).


Yet they made no effort to put out a fire that was likely reasonably easily containable and just released the chemicals.......Sorry, but I'm not buying ANY of the excuses they're making for this disaster. There appear to have been 100 options available OTHER than the one they chose and NONE of them would've led to this.

Shrove Tuesday
Daily Feast
Veneration of the Holy Face of Jesus has its beginning during Christ’s Passion, making it one of the oldest devotions in the Christian tradition. St. Veronica, as a sign of her love and compassion, offered Our Savior a veil to wipe the blood and sweat from his face as he carried his cross on the way to his crucifixion. In reward for her charity and compassion, Jesus left an impression of his Holy Face upon the veil. This meeting of Jesus and St. Veronica is forever memorialized in the Stations of the Cross. According to tradition, St. Veronica later entrusted the veil to St. Clement, a disciple of St. Peter who became the third Bishop of Rome. For the next three centuries the Holy Veil was kept in the Roman catacombs during the early persecutions of the Church. Veronica’s Veil was later moved to the Basilica of St. Peter in Rome where it remains today. It is displayed annually from the relic niche above her statue in St. Peter’s Basilica on the fifth Sunday of Lent. Shrove Tuesday is the traditional feast day of the Holy Face of Jesus.

265 254 A $30,000 solar install pays for itself in 100 months. At which time, panels begin to fail, and those that still work have lost 30% of their efficiency.

Not really. Depending where you are at and your maintenance, panels degrade ~1-2% per year. As they age, degradation becomes less. 2% of 90 is less than 2% of 100

338 YouTube Age-Restricts Catholic Disney Documentary
Last month, I stumbled across a story on CNS News about a documentary by the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights called Walt’s Disenchanted Kingdom. As a member of GenX, I watched The Wonderful World of Disney when it came on every Sunday night. It was the last thing I watched before going to bed. And there were a few years in which we saved all of our money for a trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando. We ate a lot of leftovers and skipped plenty of other things, but it was worth it for a few days in the Polynesian or Contemporary Resort and to wander around the Magic Kingdom. Of course, that was the ’70s, not the 2020s. And I’ve read a bio about Walt Disney and another about book about how Disney fared under Michael Eisner. So I was interested enough to spend 50 minutes watching the film.

346 " $30,000 solar install pays for itself in 100 months. At which time, panels begin to fail, and those that still work have lost 30% of their efficiency."

I'm not saying they are The Answer, but half that cost is (generally) overpaying for installation. And the guarantees are pretty good for 25 years, after which they still produce (80%?) power. (of course most of the better ones have not been around that long, so we shall see).

357 Good morning, all, and thanks, J.J.

"Contrary to arguments by Capitol Police and the Justice Department, the video belongs to the public, not federal agencies." Two things: The Arch. of the Capitol was fired, reportedly for other reasons, of course. And, will the video also contain what was taken by Pelosi's daughter (on her own &/or with her team) in its entirety before & allegedly ON 1/6, not just convenient snipets shown for the stage show of the 1/6 Committee? I don't trust Kevin.

Locally, nothing in newspapers about President's Day so it seems it has gone by the wayside, likely to be replaced by some other fabricated federal holiday for public employees need those days off. But in the local news was that the FDA is likely to approved new, suggested naloxone regulations next month. Pharmacies, mail, vending machines and harm-reduction orgs are sources but free at all times is most desirable.

Also, here in Joe's backyard, women from 1960s Black Panther movement, even joining the conversation via Zoom from far away, talked with today's activists. Humm. Wondering when FJB will have Assata Shakur back in the USA?

374 Agreed that the burn creates quite the environmental mess to clean up, and I don't have any more faith in governmental agencies doing their job than you do, JJ. And Norfolk Southern will of course be trying to protect their shareholders as much as possible.

As I pointed out, the ER folks were probably faced with the choice between a slower more controlled burn of the tank car contents, or an explosive burn that took out the town. (And it could have been 20+ explosions ... one for each railcar with those chemicals that was in the fire, and after the first explosion, they would ALL have been in the fire.) The environmental mess would be created either way. Could be wrong, but given what I know about railcar BLEVEs, that's my best guess with third-hand info.

So the mess has been made. The job at hand is how to clean it up as best as possible. And it can be done. It just will be a long expensive process. The folks of East Palestine could use all the help they can get.

378 That clip of someone falling down the AF1 stairs, those are the back stairs, soooo...generally Press, but...only 2 press people were even on the trip, one reporter and one camera.. Supposedly only 4 staffers went to Ukraine.

RE: Train "Pop"....it clearly wasn't a "controlled release" because it was an explosion. The question becomes...HOW did they trigger the release, armor piercing shells fired at several tanks at once? Who authorized that, who supplied the trigger men? Vinyl Chloride "Boils" at something like 18degrees. Who owned the tank cars? NS doesn't use any, just hauls them(They actually own 11 cars, but none are in use). RRs own few if any Tank cars, they are owned by warren buffet, Citi group/Capitol finance, Greenbrier, GE(coincidentally mostly Delaware corps, headquarters in Chicago)... If there is an "X" in the registration number it is an outside company, not the RR. If you can see a clear pic of the registration letters on any of the cars, you can quickly find what company owns it. I have not seen any pics that show them.

379 "If the fire around these cars can't be contained, the danger is that these tank cars will BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion)."
What the commenter said about BLEVE is true. Question is what were the real facts on the ground? Don't tank cars have relief valves? Wouldn't the tank cars be designed for derailment? Was there a fire?

When the facts are asserted by the government and media, I just remember stay in quarantine for two weeks to lower the curve, the vaccines are safe and effective, and the election in 2020 was the most honest and secure elections ever.

382 The tapes will show the Capitol Police murdering people, ushering in and waving the innocent into their Spandau spiderweb. Doors magically opening from the inside. Choreographed "confrontations".

They will show all the FBI informants, the ANTIFA paramilitaries in MAGA hats, the Ukrainian NAZIS imported to smash windows, black government SUVs disgorging professional Color Revolutionaries, Crisis Actors trying to agitate peaceful crowds of patriots, and how the authorities fired weapons of war on those crowds, unprovoked.

The Reichstag Riot Show at Pelosi’s House was all about preventing Honest Elections.

They constructed this concocted Trump Trap to say this:


"If you challenge our Right to Steal Elections Forever, we will throw you in our dungeons for years on end and we will torture you. If you ever demand Honest Elections again, we will frame you, ruin you and try you in a Kangaroo Court and then put you in our Extraordinary Rendition Black Sites, this time for American citizens."

RIGGED ELECTIONS ARE THEIR MOST CHERISHED PRIORTY.

THAT'S BECAUSE THEY MAKE ALL THE OTHER CRIMES POSSIBLE.

This cannot be overstated.

383 I mispoke when I said the railcars were not equipped with pressure relief valves.
But those PRV's are designed for non-reacting (non-burning, non-exploding) materials. These materials are often transported with a Nitrogen gas pad, or maybe a depleted oxygen pad (because reaction inhibitors may need a trace amount of oxygen to stay active). The inhibitors are free radical scavengers designed to stop these reactive monomers from auto-polymerizing, which releases a lot of heat. They don't want to burst the railcar by overpressuring with the inert pad gas pressure. These PRVs are NOT sized to prevent a BLEVE.
A PRV designed for a reaction is NEVER put on a transport vessel. Such a reactive PRV has to feed into a special header system to handle and contain the reacting material. No such thing exists for rail transport that I've ever seen.
They might as well just design the railcar to split in half ... in which case we'll have more accidental spills with railcars breaking in half than we do with derailments.
The EPA reportable release amount for vinyl chloride is about 1 pound. Nobody wants those railcars venting anywhere if it can be helped.
