Senator Marco Rubio Demands Biden Fire Pete Buttigieg Over Handling Of Ohio Train Disaster
The train derailment and chemical burn in Ohio was one disaster. The other disaster is Pete Buttigieg and the Biden administration’s response.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) demanded that President Joe Biden ask for the resignation of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg over his handling of the East Palestine, Ohio, train derailment.

While focusing on the train derailment as an example of Buttigieg’s “gross level of incompetence and apathy,” Rubio alleged that it was only the latest example of a two-year pattern.

“For two years, Secretary Buttigieg downplayed and ignored crisis after crisis, while prioritizing topics of little relevance to our nation’s transportation system,” Rubio wrote in a letter to Biden.

“It is painfully clear to the American people that Secretary Buttigieg has little regard for the duties of the Secretary of Transportation,” he added.

He accused Rubio of grossly mismanaging the East Palestine train derailment, thus contributing to the scale of the disaster.

“At no time has that been more apparent than the past two weeks. Secretary Buttigieg refused to acknowledge the disaster in East Palestine, Ohio, until his intentional ignorance was no longer tenable,” he wrote.

“Even after acknowledging the tragedy, he continues to deflect any accountability for the safety of our nation’s rail system. The circumstances leading up to the derailment point to a clear lack of oversight and demand engagement by our nation’s top transportation official,” he continued.

Buttigieg should resign or be fired.

Chemical train derailment in Ohio causes major ecological disaster Russian official
The derailment of a train with hazardous chemicals in the US state of Ohio is a serious environmental disaster. As a result, poisonous phosgene is being released into the air, Russia’s special presidential representative for environmental protection, ecology and transport Sergey Ivanov, told TASS in an interview.

"In the state of Ohio, I believe, a serious environmental disaster has occurred. An entire train carrying very hazardous chemical waste has derailed. We classify this waste as a Class 1 hazard," Ivanov said.

He added that the US authorities, in order to mitigate the damage, decided to set fire to the leaking chemicals.

"These chemicals have been burning for a week now. During this time, all fish and animals have died in the area. The fire continues, releasing phosgene into the air. During the First World War phosgene was recognized officially as a chemical weapon. This is the type of pollutant being released," Ivanov said.

"Do you think anyone in America talks about it or writes about it? No, absolutely not. They are obsessed with the balloons," Ivanov said. "No one writes anything about the train emergency there."

Ivanov pointed to the politicized Western reaction to the environmental disaster in Ohio.

"Imagine for a second something like the Ohio incident has happened in our country. I swear the world would be in an uproar: ‘It’s awful, this is a global environmental disaster! The Russian authorities are not doing anything about it! They can't do anything!’, and so on and so forth. In the meantime, in America everybody stays silent. That's what ecology is about - it's about politics."

The movie 'White Noise' is based on Don DeLillo's book of same title. I wonder if anything about a dirty nuke is mentioned in the book or if it is specific to the movie adaption.

Not dirty nucs but there is

their predictions for the coming year. She read the items slowly.

"It's called the sun's corolla," Denise said to Steffie in a separate discussion. "We saw it the
other night on the weather network."
"I thought Corolla was a car," Steffie said.
"Everything's a car," Heinrich said. "The thing you have to understand about giant stars is
that they have actual nuclear explosions deep inside the core. Totally forget these Russian
IBMs that are supposed to be so awesome. We're talking about a hundred million times bigger
explosions."
There was a long pause. No one spoke. We went back to eating for as long as it took to bite
off and chew a single mouthful of food.
"It's supposed to be Russian psychics who are causing this crazy weather," Babette said.
"What crazy weather?" I said.
Heinrich said, "We have psychics, they have psychics, supposedly. They want to disrupt our
crops by influencing the weather."
"The weather's been normal."

Including Russians (at that time it was Soviet Union) obviously had to enter fear stoking.

It was going well. I was pleased to see how well it was going. The trucks rumbled overhead.
The shower curtain smelled of mildewed vinyl. A richness, a smashing intensity. I approached
the sitting figure, careful not to step in blood, leave revealing prints. I took out my
handkerchief, wiped the weapon clean, placed it in Mink's hand, cautiously removing the
handkerchief, painstakingly wrapping his bony fingers, one by one, around the stock, delicately
working his index finger through the trigger guard. He was foaming, a little, at the mouth. I
stepped back to survey the remains of the shattering moment, the scene of squalid violence
and lonely death at the shadowy fringes of society. This was my plan. Step back, regard the
squalor, make sure things were correctly placed.

Is it necessary to know the material the curtain was made of ? Perhaps.

Then we have this interesting coincidence from Jan. 26, 2023

EAST PALESTINE — The village fire department is hosting a sign up event for the new MyID service.

MyID is being made available to both East Palestine and Unity Township residents. The sign up event is scheduled for Sunday from noon to 7 p.m. in the East Palestine Community Center located at the public park.

Village councilman Robert Runnion hopes people in the community take advantage of the new service.

“MyID is a program that helps first responders aid victims more effectively and efficiently,” he said.

Then on ZeroHedge there was a comment with this interesting link from someone in East Palestine !!!! It was done on Feb. 13 so perhaps the person was not yet aware how serious the situation was, because to me he sounds a little casual about it.

 

[Hi_Henry]

In the process of exploring America, DeLillo has become credited with extraordinary powers of literary clairvoyance. The war on terror is said to be foreshadowed in Mao II. The planes that flew into the Twin Towers are possibly alluded to on the cover of Underworld. Parts of White Noise are echoed in the anthrax scare of 2001, and so on.

I agree. The man has some very sensitive antenna to pick this evil energy coursing through the US social fabric.

I only watch 25 min. of that movie (couldn't stand it) but what attracted my immediate attention was the rainbows painted around the window arches in the strange classroom .

Good articles on ZeroHedge:

East Palestine "Residents May Already Be Undergoing DNA Mutations," Class Action Lawsuit Alleges​

Meanwhile, a litigation wave has hit Norfolk Southern. The latest lawsuit alleges that efforts by the rail company and local and state authorities to burn off the dangerous chemicals made things worse and demanded punitive damages and medical monitoring.

"I'm not sure Norfolk Southern could have come up with a worse plan to address this disaster.
"Residents exposed to vinyl chloride may already be undergoing DNA mutations that could linger for years or even decades before manifesting as terrible and deadly cancers. The lawsuit alleges that Norfolk Southern made it worse by essentially blasting the town with chemicals as they focused on restoring train service and protecting their shareholders," attorney John Morgan said in a statement, who was cited by local media WFMJ.

"At least five class action negligence lawsuits have now been filed by residents and business owners who were impacted by the fiery chemical train derailment," The Independent said.

Norfolk Southern Eliminated Key Maintenance Role In Derailment Region, Union Says​

There are no federal requirements on the usage or maintenance of heat-detecting devices that have helped cut down on derailments.

As recently as three years ago, Norfolk Southern employed five electronic leaders in the area of its rail network that includes East Palestine. Today, it employs zero, according to Christopher Hand, director of research at the Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen.

Hand said electronic leaders know hot-box detectors “inside out.” But the position, which typically requires years of experience and higher pay, has become less common at railroads across the country. Electronic leaders also taught newer signalmen how to operate devices like the hot boxes.

After that position was eliminated in Norfolk Southern’s Division B, Hand said its responsibilities were likely transferred to a signal maintainer. Their main role is to keep up with government-mandated tests of equipment — and hot boxes aren’t under federal regulations.

“Once they eliminated that position, it fell to the signal maintainers who had no knowledge, no training or very, very little training on these hot-box detectors,” Hand said in an interview with FreightWaves.

Across the rail industry, Hand said most signalmen are exclusively spending time on these government-mandated tests, rather than doing preventive maintenance, like cleaning and greasing.

“There used to be something called ‘maintenance’ and it was routinely maintaining your apparatus — not just strictly going there when you have a regulated test,” Hand said.

It’s the responsibility of the railroad to maintain the track and locomotives by which railcars move. However, these derailed cars were possibly owned by a leasing company or the actual shipper of the chemicals inside the railcar.

Lobbying efforts to scale back maintenance saved railroads hundreds of millions​

Federal regulators have rolled back other rail safety rules.

For years, the federal government required railroads to conduct a type of brake test on rail cars that had not been operated for four or more hours. As of 2020, rail operators may wait up to 24 hours to conduct this test.

The Association of American Railroads, an industry association that includes Norfolk Southern, lobbied for this change starting in 2017, according to the Federal Register. The FRA estimated that changing this rule would save the rail industry nearly $600 million over a 10-year period.

The Association of American Railroads was also key in rolling back Obama-era legislation that would have required railroad companies to update their braking systems from a 19th-century design to an electronic one, as the Huffington Post reported on Wednesday.

How date palm seeds can remove toxins from the environment​

How date palm seeds can remove toxins from the environment

A natural byproduct could clean up polluted and war-ravaged land.

theconversation.com

Date palms are an iconic feature of landscapes in the Middle East and North Africa. These graceful trees are one of the oldest known fruit crops and have been cultivated for well over 5,000 years, providing sustenance for generations.

Date seeds contain small but significant amounts of oil, which can be extracted by pressing. This oil used to be processed to make soap and other beauty products. However, in a joint venture with colleagues in Syria, we have now found a way to use the oil to remove dangerous toxins from the environment.

Dr Hanano was interested in the problem of how to remove toxins, known as dioxins, that can accumulate in watercourses and soils due to industrial contamination or warfare. Dioxins are byproducts of industrial processes, and perhaps best known from the Vietnam War in the 1960s, when the US military sprayed huge amounts of a herbicide called “Agent Orange” over the countryside in order to remove vegetation.

One of the biggest problems in trying to remove dioxins from the environment is their extreme insolubility in water, which means that they cannot simply be washed away. This is where Dr Hanano spotted a possible opportunity to use date seeds: he realised that the seed oil was encapsulated in very stable structures called lipid droplets. And, as we had shown previously, such lipid droplets are covered by a layer of specialised proteins that enable them to form highly stable emulsions. We speculated that these oily emulsions might attract the dioxins and remove them from the environment – in effect acting as “molecular magnets”.

The first challenge was to get the lipid droplets out of the hard date seeds. This required the seeds to be soaked in water for two weeks to soften them, before the droplets could be extracted as a creamy emulsion. The next stage was to add this emulsion to a water/solvent mixture that contained the most common and most toxic dioxin, TCDD. The results were dramatic and exceeded all of our expectations: within a minute, almost all of the dioxins had been removed from the solution and into the lipid droplets.

Having shown a preliminary “proof of concept” in our recently published paper, we are now interested in practical applications of this new form of environmental biotechnology. One of Dr Hanano’s ideas is to use it on fish farms where the higher levels of dioxins in coastal waters (compared to the open oceans) can result in significant accumulations in fish and shellfish. The water could be passed through cartridges containing date seed lipid droplet emulsions in order to remove the dioxins, which can them be incinerated.

My ears perked up earlier when I heard that author's name, Don DeLillo....I knew it was an important memory. Well it hit me. Years ago I bought his book Libra. It was around the time of 9/11. Anyway, I'm in this bookstore and I see an earlier book of his, "Underworld," and the cover eerily reminded me of the plane hitting the Twin Towers....even if it is only a large bird on the cover. See for yourself:

And he also writes, "White Noise?" Who the hell is Don DeLillo?

Horror movie by same name, I remember:

 

[Jacques]

From The Largest Environmental Disaster in US History? By Alexandra Bruce. we can read in that article :

My friends over at American Intelligence Media say something stinks about the derailment. They think this event may be a harbinger of the dread internet shutdown we’ve been warned about for years, noting that internet fiber trunk lines, wherever possible, are embedded under railroad rights of way and that, “Rail derailments are a sneaky way to selectively shut down digital communications,” in this case, AT&T service throughout the State of Ohio. They also ask whether the derailment is a simulation for bankers who are working to shut down businesses by fabricating disasters to install ESG.

And the next paragrah :

Speaking of simulations and smoking guns, the Netflix movie, ‘White Noise’ appears to have been one of those Event 201-type tabletop exercises, training for the events in East Palestine. It’s quite stunning, how the images of the derailment and the plume that we’re seeing from this event are almost exactly the same as the images foreshadowed in the film. And guess where they shot the film in 2022? In East Palestine! Many of the chemically-bombed residents appeared as extras in the film.

Watch the youtube vid:

Ohio disaster cover up: NOAA removes TWO images of HYSPLIT models from their article Here they are

NOAA’s Air Resources Lab modeled the distribution of particles from the East Palestine train derailment.

But now the images have suddenly disappeared from the original article… They have been deleted… And everybody knows why… This is one of the worst HazMat disaster in the entire history of the US…

As reported on Reddit:

‘Yesterday morning when I came across this news article published by NOAA it had the two HYSPLIT models in the article below the picture of the derailment.

The two pictures the Redditor is speaking about are those now massively shared on social medias and shown below:

NOAA HYSPLIT Model disappears from NOAA website via NOAA

A night later, the Redittor wrote:

‘I just looked at the article this morning and the two HYSPLIT models have now been removed from the article for reasons unknown.’
And added:

‘I wanted to share this in case anyone looks at the article today and is wondering where the images I posted (and cited according to NOAA guidelines) came from.‘

Here is a simulation from the first 4 days of the catastrophe:

Now, you have the story behind those TWO NOAA CENSORED PICTURES circulating around the web…

[Honzap]

I appreciated the engineering view on the disaster. It confirmed few of the suspicions I had, however the the big thing for me is that still nobody is even asking how to fix this. You hear commentators stepping very lightly around polution on the ground, animals and people affected, but what can be done here to mitigate the situation, not a single word. Stopping and if not possible slowing the spread in the air, in the water. Moving families to safer locations. Nothing???
