Guest Post by Skinny
By now everyone has heard about the train derailment in East Palestine that occurred 2 weeks ago on February 3. However, you can be excused if you were late to the party hearing about the crash. There were virtually no stories of the crash all day Saturday and it wasn’t until Sunday night, after Ohio Governor Mike DeWine issued a tweet that the story was picked up at all. A Google search show only 2 ABC affiliates mentioning the story on February 4th, then an AP story on February 5th followed by…nothing.
The story was memory holed for over a week. Not even a controlled burn of vinyl chloride sending a black mushroom cloud thousands of feet into the air was enough to jog the media’s attention. Since no black man was shot by a white cop and Trump failed to post anything controversial, the media was just not interested. Incinerating and poisoning a bunch of white Trump voters just doesn’t move the needle.
Of course, that couldn’t be true of the Federal Government and the man in charge of all things railroad, Pete Buttigieg, right? On cue Mayor Pete issued several tweets on February 4. He tweeted about DOT awarding $200k to the Cherokee Nation, he retweeted a couple of Biden brags about bogus job growth and tunnel projects in Maryland and New York, and of course he reminded us that February 4th is Transit Equity Day, whatever the hell that’s supposed to be.
Ok, no sense rushing until you get the facts. The next day was sure to be different. And so it was. On Sunday February 5th we were treated to a photo of the man of action seated in the back seat of his official gas guzzling SUV alongside Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm sending birthday wishes for the best known Canadian other the Justin Trudeau. The safety-first Secretary is wearing his seatbelt but his Canadian counterpart is not. I wonder if they were ticketed for this flagrant violation of the law.

So the weekend passed without mention, but it is understandable due to Pete’s massive parental responsibilities. By Monday he would certainly focus on the horrific events in Ohio. Alas, Monday only produced one tweet; a video exhorting the benefits of electric vehicles made in the U.S. Tuesday was wall to wall State of the Union Tweets. Later in the week he was off to Louisiana to brag about some bridge that was being rebuilt undoubtedly with massive cost overruns since no federal project ever comes in on budget.
Then it was parental duties for the weekend before meeting with the National Association of Counties (there is a national association for everything) where he bemoaned the lack of diversity on highway construction projects saying “We have heard way too many stories from generations past of infrastructure where you got a neighborhood, often a neighborhood of color, that finally sees the project come to them, but everyone in the hard hats on that project, doing the good paying jobs, don’t look like they came from anywhere near the neighborhood.” About the people from the neighborhood where a train had derailed and mushroom clouds of potentially toxic gas were rising, he said nothing.
Finally, at 5:50 on Valentine’s Day, just a few hours short of 11 days following the accident, Pete was fully committed. Well, maybe not. Here is the tweet:
In the wake of the East Palestine derailment and its impact on hundreds of residents, we’re seeing lots of newfound or renewed (and welcome) interest in our work on rail safety, so I wanted to share more about what we’ve been doing in this area:
https://twitter.com/SecretaryPete/status/1625628590850117633?s=20
He is telling us there was a derailment and its impacting lots of people but look at our work on rail safety! Did it ever occur to this moron that a 50-rail car pileup with resultant leaks of toxic fumes is not exactly a good example of rail safety?
Mayor, er Secretary Pete (he really calls himself that Follow @SecretaryPete on Twitter) the same guy that couldn’t fix a one-hundred-dollar pothole in South Bend, IN while he was mayor of the crap hole city is now in charge of an $105 billion (with a “B”) budget as Chairman of the Department of Transportation. This represents a 24% increase over last year’s miserly budget of $88 billion. How, you are probably asking, is Mayor Pete supposed to run this godforsaken boondoggle of an agency on a mere 105 billion? Thankfully he is not.
The Department will get an additional $37 billion from his ever-helpful friends in Congress via the ridiculously named Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act which of course has nothing to do with infrastructure or jobs. Mayor Pete calls it the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to remind everyone of the Republican fingerprints all over the spending blowout.
Obviously is wholly unqualified to run this agency, but we can certainly rely on his Deputy Polly Trottenberg. Polly is a graduate of the world renowned engineering school Barnard College in New York City. Well that’s a bit of a stretch. Barnard doesn’t have an engineering department and good ole Polly got her BA in History. She must have received her engineering background at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government where she picked up her Masters of Public Policy. But hey, education isn’t everything she must have oodles of professional experience in transportation to earn her coveted position alongside Secretary Pete.
In fact, she does. She comes into this position off a seven-year stint as head of the New York city Department of Transportation. Anyone who has spent any time in New York can testify as to the model of efficiency that defines transportation in New York. The trains and buses always run on time and the roads are traffic free and paved with gold. This is also a slight exaggeration. When they run at all the trains and buses are notoriously late and traffic stops at the slightest inconvenience. This is actually a benefit since when the traffic does move, the ride is a teeth rattling experience from the awful road conditions punctuated by potholes that can swallow an entire SUV. What Polly hath bestowed to New York; she will now bequeath upon the remainder of the nation.
At least the Federal Railway Administration is in capable hands. After all, the director Amit Bose, comes from the highly touted engineering firm HTNB and therefore must have tons of hands-on railroad experience. Well, not so much. At HTNB he was a government liaison ensuring that federal cash kept rolling into the company’s coffers. He may not have any real railroad experience, but he possesses more important qualifications for the Biden Administration in that he is a lawyer and has a masters from Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs. So, although he couldn’t find the nearest DC Metro station, he is imminently qualified to serve in this administration and look after a $17.9 billion budget, the vast majority of which goes to paying pensions to Joe Biden’s retired buddies at Amtrak.
At what point do we demand some sort of competence from the idiots that run the federal government? They are all supremely confident in their abilities equally horrible at their actual duties. Always in error, never in doubt. These departments headed by and staffed with lawyers and policy wonks who have zero practical experience with the tasks that they are assigned. Of course, we can always vote them out. Then again we tried that in November and ended up with John Fetterman. Can we please stop pretending that this can ever be fixed?

EXCLUSIVE: Toxic cloud left Ohio family coughing up blood and forced them to flee their newly purchased home as creek water turned blue and wildlife disappeared after chemical train disaster
Nathan and Kelly Izotic were forced to flee despite living outside the designated ‘danger of death’ zone created by the February 3 Norfolk Southern derailment
The couple revealed wildlife has fled and they now fear their newly bought 15-acre property, two miles from chemical train disaster, may never be repaired
They were forced to leave their East Palestine home the weekend after the environmental catastrophe when they came down with aggressive symptoms

Nathan and Kelly Izotic
Izotic is a variant of Izod, as in the famous clothing brand. The surname is a very old peerage name,
and they came over with William the Conqueror in the Norman Conquest. It comes from Isolde,
daughter of King Mark in the tales. They are currently related to the Nixon-Brownes, one of whom
was recently a TV producer for CBC Canada. This also links us to Jack Browne, Baron Craigton,
Privy Counsellor. Craigton was the son of Edwin Izod. They are also related to Hepburns, so you see
the link to Hollywood.
The cloud we have all seen is black.

Specificity of vinyl chloride vapours at high temperature
In the atmosphere vinyl chloride molecules react to UV radiation
and produce free radicals that in turn react with vinyl chloride
molecules. At very high temperatures (a fire outbreak) these
reactions generate toxic white smoke on account of the presence
of Cl+ cations.

I hope these folks get some justice/a new home with acreage ect.
Folks at blackrock/vangaurd need to be held responsible in the end as they own the RR.
Executive lists should not be hard to find.
Feel there will be many more folks in the same situation/hmmmm……,does hunting season open early in the Ohio valley region?
On more important news,”Cocaine Bear ” comes out next Friday/mark your calender’s!
Helpful Hint: Don’t prebuy treats for the movie….. Or prebuy repeatedly! YEA! YAHYOH!
“Can we please stop pretending that this can ever be fixed”?
Agreed. Voting is what got us into this debacle. We need to collapse completely, followed by Hell-like chaos from which the weeds will die off creating fertile ground for a saner restart.
Now FEMA will finally step up and help those people, right?
Oh. If they were honest, they’d say that Ohio is ineligible for assistance for the sole reason that Ohio is populated primarily by White people – and the government hates them.
Hmmmm…..,seems that reaction/inaction a great impetus for secession,just saying.
And fucking their women . . .
They should hand out bananas….
Stop assuming these people are merely incompetent. They know exactly what they are doing….
The war on Americans is getting kicked up the urgency ladder from the usual psychological conditioning and programming through mockingbird news and information to a full-on corporeal assault in plain view for all to see…
A lifetime of psychological shelling to engender misguided trust in all the wrong people and institutions is not something that gets deprogrammed overnight.
Inflation. Energy grid destruction. Bird cullings with fake PCR tests. Chicken feed sabotage. 2000 cattle suffering SBDS (Sudden Bovinae Death Syndrome) in the middle of summer because of a “heat wave.” Dozens more simply dropped dead “mysteriously” in Colorado late last year which still has investigators “stumped.”
We’re beyond meat and beyond mysteries.
And we can’t forget all the usual environmental and economic terrorism through spontaneous combustion of agricultural plants, farms, grocery stores, egg-laying hen warehouses, energy pipelines, and fiat currency values to further decimate the middle classes.
If you’re wondering what two years of economic and environmental terrorism against the American people by the masters of Globopsycho looks like visit this custom ZeeMap with every grain silo, food pantry, agricultural processor, industrial plant, farm, and grocery store that got the spook’s match. Notice only a few “incidents” in Mexico. The United States must be targeted because it’s the last place on earth with too many stubborn people who still hold dear, above all else, their liberty.
All those industrious hard-working Americans who thought they could buy a little piece of heaven, a little plot of the American dream on five acres in a peaceful rural area with livestock and a garden near a freshwater source, and the government would just leave them alone.
The American homestead and small farmer must face a new reality.
The U.S. government and its intel pig saboteurs will find you.
They don’t need a warrant to search your property.
They don’t need to frame you with radioactive FBI bots online to lure you into some faux militia group on Facebook to concoct a plan to kidnap a governor.
They don’t even need to come within a hundred miles of your property.
All they need to do is keep poisoning your air, water, and soil.
Chemistry, human biology, and time will take care of the rest.

The more we do to you, the less you seem to believe we are doing it. · — Josef Mengele
It Fits
I’m pretty sure that is a Jonathan Greenblat quote.
“Je mehr wir euch antun, desto weniger werdet ihr glauben können, dass wir es tatsächlich durchführen.”
The source was Holocaust survivor, Mark Berkowitz, on whom Josef experimented. Though M.B. did not sign a waiver, he did believe they were doing it to him.
What were they doing? Creating a master race in the case that the Thousand Year Reich failed.
So, someone with even less credibility than Greenblatt?

As for their special cities,easy to shut down.
As for the elite bunkers,their security I feel will many times close that nonsense down when they see what actually happened,not always……,but……,feel enough!
It was a rhetorical question. Like a cricket match we know we were soundly beaten, but it takes a while to tally the final score.
Not doing anything fits right in with the stupid people in the Biden administration. Try and live like the gov. doesn’t exist and don’t count on them for anything. They keep saying the wide-open southern border is secure while everyone shows videos of people streaming in. This dumb fire in Ohio will drift far and wide with its poisoning of the state for many miles around. It’s a frickin disaster of epic proportions. I sure hope Biden and his buddies don’t try and top this with a nuclear exchange.

2/17/23 Fox News reported people in Connecticut noticing “brownish dust on their vehicles.” An academic “expert was summoned to explain possible causes of this brownish residue. The professor said the substance is “probably from planes kicking up dust on the ground.” CT is 600 miles from the Ohio train wreck.
Correction: “Residue is probably from the plains kicking up dust on the ground.” BS either way.
