As someone who lives here, I assure you all the chemicals in this toxic stew is everywhere! I got sicker than I've ever been less than 2 weeks after the initial disaster. Worked with Dr.Andrew Whelton from Purdue University on 02/26- 02/28 near the creeks. Had explosive guts the following three weeks..Most likely due to the Acrolin and Butyl Acrylate exposures from being near the aeration equipment that was less than 100 feet from homes.

Dr.Whelton is a huge reason things are slowly changing around here. Prior to his visits and Twitter threads these clowns were literally poisoning us while lying about it all. Think for a minute..these workers getting sick was over 3 fn weeks ago...Now just getting out? WTF else are they hiding that we don't know about say... DIOXINS!! It's way worse here than anyone can imagine. It has become one huge political cover-up lead from the political opportunistic Governor DeWine..

Just last Tuesday at a Town hall event hosted by River Valley Organizing a lead fed EPA head admitted on camera and on record that the gas detection equipment they have been using to deem the area safe, is NOT EFFECTIVE at the dangerous low levels of the chemicals we are exposed to on a daily. The analytical equipment they are using cannot detect these posions at the levels that are making us sick..Finally and only because we have third party folks here educating us to hold the EPA'S ACCOUNTABLE is the truth slowly trickling out. Check out plumbingsafety.org the wheltongroup@twitter to see what kind of shit show we have. Status Coups has also done some amazing work here helping us out. Louis Deangelis has a substack and video from last Tuesday where the EPA is admitting they are making difinitive statements without having the qualitative or quantitative data to back it up. Also unitedforeastpalestine Facebook group is the team that helped get Dr.Whelton and many other experts here to assist and model the sicknesses occurring. We need funding to get more third party experts here so we can finally get this town evacuated and declared a Superfund site. Residents are in major trouble without this help... The EPA's and Norfolk Suffering are trying to wait us out and watch us wither and die on the vine of attrition...People are becoming hopeless all by design, while they lose the will and energy to fight this catastrophic disaster of epic proportion... This can happen in anyones back yard and you could very well be next...We weren't ready or prepared for this! We need you and all the people to not become complacent and let us die this slow excruciating death....

Please help us keep this story going and in the news. Much appreciated this stack!

East Palestine being ignored by media and Biden administration. An area that voted for Trump is ignored. Biden administration is the most corrupt ever. These people need help and the DOJ’s lawsuit won’t help them, but makes it look like they are doing something. Whatever fines are collected, this DOJ won’t be sharing.
