Toxsickening

One of the age old arguments that fuel most conspiracy talk is how science and religion are both wrong, in some respects. The reason is everyone argues over religion and science based on his or her own beliefs. Inconvenient data is often ignored, suppressed, discredited or explained in some pre-digested sound bite that is often forgotten.

People who claim they have awakened or have seen the light are very much aware that all things are in an intermediate state between extremes. In the fundamental sense, the extremes are birth and death. All that is in between is intermediate. You can divide it all up and break it all down into an eternal state of extremes and realize that everything you believe and read is what is fashionable for the time and not necessarily the truth. However, that does not mean that buried in all of it isn’t a little pinch of reality.

Scientific inquiry is a process of developing an explanation of a question in the natural world (or universe) by testing, investigating and collecting data that will either support or refute your original idea of what’s going on.

Of course, many of us take for granted that science gives us facts and so we do not question the programming of those so-called “facts.” However, a healthy mind willing to question doesn’t mind getting into all of the messy scientific methods to prove the facts for themselves; the process of testing ideas by collecting evidence.

Unfortunately, those who wish to disassemble the scientific explanations already provided by some nebulous authorities are now being frowned upon and are now being called, anti-science.

The very scientific method used to question data provided by scientists is now being called anti-science, a label that should have every one of us worried.

This is especially true when the idea of anti-science is being used to cover up the loss of biodiversity due to the exposure of toxins and radiation to fish, birds, animals, plants and human beings.

The climate change zealots are out in full-force, religiously coercing us into believing in global warming and both political and religious figures have their various agendas to ignore more growing concerns about how geo-engineering and disasters linked to industry are making our environment, uninhabitable.

It is unfortunate the “powers that be” seem to have successfully found a way to tighten their tyrannical noose on humanity’s dissension and have shaped public opinion in favor of their abuses and junk science. With the clampdown comes silence, disinformation and cover up.

The governments of the world and the corporations protected by these governments have taken a severe stance on punishing those who oppose their views regardless of truth or untruth to advance an oppressive agenda.

They say that “the debate is settled” with regard to global warming, and yet the same government that pretends to be taking action are ignoring the fact that they are allowing toxic chemicals, radiation and other dangers to thrive in order to further both the war effort and the culling of innocent people who are unaware that they are being exposed to a harsh environment.

When you are exposed to toxins and radiation, it doesn’t matter what the weather is like, what matters is whether or not you have clean potable water, nutritious non-GMO foods, and clean air to breathe.

For the past 18 months, residents of Michigan have been exposed to dangerous levels of lead in their drinking water despite reassurances from officials.

Lead, a known toxin, is associated with both physical and mental ailments, and according to one Detroit teacher, has harmed the cognitive abilities of students.

Kieya Morrison, a veteran kindergarten teacher, who now teaches preschool, described a recent student known to have elevated levels of lead in her system. The girl experienced difficulties grasping simple cognitive tasks, like differentiating between a triangle and a square.

In fact, lead levels are elevated across the United States. Last month in Sebring, Ohio, a similar lead crisis spawned official cover-ups. For years, discoveries of lead in public water supplies have made headlines, even if these finding were not national news.

In 2008, the Los Angeles school district’s water supply was found to have levels of lead hundreds of times higher than the allowable. In 2015, officials could not guarantee they had adequately purified the water.

In another example, in 2010, New York City tested 222 older homes known to have lead pipes, and found 14 percent had lead levels higher than the allowable limit.

According to the Huffington Post, there are roughly 7.3 million lead service lines in the U.S., according to an estimate by the Environmental Protection Agency, down from 10.5 million in 1988. Service lines are the pipes connecting water mains to people’s houses. They’re mostly found in the Midwest and Northeast.

Does the mainstream news take a moment from political debates and climate change coercion to state that our kids are becoming lead detectors, or canaries in the toxic coal mine?

The question is what is being done? Why is it being under-reported?

Well, recently the Pentagon has ordered its top military brass to incorporate climate change into virtually everything they do, from testing weapons to training troops to war planning to joint exercises with allies.

A new directive’s theme: The U.S. Armed Forces must show “resilience” and beat back the threat based on “actionable science.”

It says the military will not be able to maintain effectiveness unless the directive is followed. It orders the establishment of a new layer of bureaucracy — a wide array of “climate change boards, councils and working groups” to infuse climate change into “programs, plans and policies.”

I am sure though that these directives will not end the abuse of the ecosystem of the Olympic peninsula in the pacific northwest as electromagnetic war games continue to expose wild life and humans to electromagnetic poisoning.

I am sure this would not eliminate the use of depleted uranium bombs used to destroy the enemy, leaving areas they bomb unlivable because of radiation contamination.

The Pentagon defines resilience to climate change as: “Ability to anticipate, prepare for, and adapt to changing conditions and withstand, respond to, and recover rapidly from disruptions.

Basically it means, prepare for weather changes and batten down the hatches – catastrophe is looming from all of the contamination the war effort has brought to the environment, and the geo-engineering that has been brought on by releasing aerosols into the air.

The directive, “Climate Change Adaptation and Resilience,” is in line with President Obama’s view that global warming is the country’s foremost national security threat- or it is a phantom menace that is a convenient distraction from the real problem which is environmental toxicity.

We live in a world full of toxins and potential toxic exposures. Toxins are in our air, water, food supply, homes, businesses, and possessions. When these toxins enter our bodies and cannot be detoxified and eliminated, significant symptoms may develop. In fact, some toxic exposures can even mimic the symptoms of Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome. Other exposures can cause severe illness, disability or death.

Toxins include pesticides, heavy metals, plastics, hydrocarbons, and other chemicals. Some can seem harmless to most of us because of their common use in our society. These include chemicals like chlorine, fluoride and bromine.

Some are known carcinogens, but seemingly unavoidable as they are common in the food chain. Others are used in the workplace and if appropriate protective measures are not taken, entrance into the body of toxic chemicals are unavoidable.

It is important to understand that while we expose ourselves to a toxic environment every day, we must be aware of the dose or the overall amount of a toxicant that we are being exposed to.

Any chemical can be toxic if the dose is appropriately high enough since the dose makes the chemical toxic.

It is also important to understand that while chemical toxins are a concern, we must also be aware of radiation, bio-toxins, and the affects of what is now being called electro-smog, produced by our technology and Wi-Fi.

The problem is how to raise awareness without engendering fear.

It is important to consider not only whether a substance is toxic, but also the amount of the substance that is necessary to cause harm. There are many factors that affect an organisms’ response to a toxic chemical. These include the dose, uptake into the body, distribution within the body, biotransformation, and elimination.

The primary areas of exposure of toxicity are absorbed through the skin, inhaled in the lungs, ingestion and injections.

Biotransformation, storage, and elimination are influenced by the path in which a toxin takes through the body as well as the time involved in the process. Toxins that are absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract are transported to the liver, then the heart, then the lungs and on to other organs.

Toxins absorbed through the lungs or skin enters the blood where they are transported to the heart and then are distributed to various other organs before reaching the liver.

Distribution occurs when a toxicant is absorbed and enters the blood or lymph for transport to other areas of the body. Distribution occurs by means of the cardiovascular, circulatory and lymphatic systems.

There are many factors affecting distribution that include chemical and physical properties of a toxicant, level of concentration of toxicant in the tissues and blood, the volume of blood flow through the tissues, target tissue of toxicant, and barriers to the toxicant.

I have been surprised at the intentional avoidance of reporting in detail the various toxicity events that have been plaguing the United States. These events have been reported on the internet and have been given little time in the 24 hour news cycle.

There are many people that don’t know since October of last year a gas leak has spewed more than 5 billion cubic feet of natural gas in an area called Porter Ranch near San Fernando, California.

Since then, the leak has forced more than 6,000 residents to evacuate the area northwest of downtown Los Angeles.

Many residents of the Porter Ranch community complained of headaches, nosebleeds and other symptoms.

The leak occurred at Southern California Gas Co.’s Aliso Canyon natural gas storage field, spewing more greenhouse gases than any other facility in California, according to The Los Angeles Times. In addition to allowing huge amounts of methane, a potent greenhouse gas to escape, the utility is accused of understating the levels of the cancer-causing chemical, benzene.

There is also exposure to Radon, which can cause lung cancer.

Now, after nearly 4 months, the Porter Ranch gas leak has been temporarily plugged.

Once the area is declared safe to inhabit, residents will be given eight days to get back into their houses. After that point, subsidies for temporary housing will expire. Some residents are pushing for a longer timeline, up to 30 days to be sure the area is safe.

Radon gas, which may potentially be released during repair operations, is a human carcinogen and the leading cause of lung cancers in nonsmokers.

Methyl Mercaptan, the additive making gas smell like rotten eggs, also causes health problems.

Workers in sewage treatment plants, pulp mills, chemical plants, and industrial or agricultural settings where chemical or microbiological formation of mercaptan is significant would potentially have a higher-than-normal exposure to this compound. People living close to hazardous waste sites may also have higher exposure than the general population.

However, mercaptan’s penetrating smell and low odor threshold (the point at which it can be detected by smell) of 1.6 parts per billion makes it unlikely that most people would willingly tolerate exposure to concentrations much above the threshold for any substantial amount of time.

Over-exposure can bring on fever, cough, and shortness of breath, double-vision, a feeling of tightness and burning in the chest, dizziness, memory loss, tremors, difficulty swallowing and abdominal pain.

We can speculate as to why this story has been buried in the mainstream media and that is, if it is reported correctly a huge concentration of methane CH4, a greenhouse gas has been released into the atmosphere and it may cause a debate about whether or not carbon dioxide CO2 is not as big of a concern as climate change proponents charge.

CH4 is a short-term gas; CO2 is long-term. CH4 has an immediate effect on weather as it’s emitted because of its volatile reactions with atmospheric water vapor. The government does not like to focus on this fact. They fear focusing on CH4 will end weather pattern changes that point to climate change, and if that happens, support for dealing with CO2 will wane.

Talk about geo-engineering with plausible deniability. The media and the government can blame the unseasonably warm winter weather and wild violent storm systems that flooded the Midwest, Europe, and now California, on CO2 driven global warming when this gas leak could have contributed to the weather pattern.

It is not just about the leak but their four month failed attempt to remedy it.

What goes up must come back down, just not all at once, especially during the winter when it comes down hard and heavy because of the cold.

Meanwhile in Portland, Oregon the environment is also becoming toxic because of high levels of arsenic and cadmium pollution.

Federal scientists studying metal concentrations found in tree moss made the discovery last year, detecting levels of cadmium that far exceeded state safety targets.

Investigators have found two hot spots that are linked to stained glass manufacturers in Southeast Portland.

This all seems to be business as usual, and many people are unaware they have been exposed to carcinogenic materials. They are also unaware of some the negligence that goes on, and how these exposures don’t have to happen.

For example, two years after being fined for falsifying safety records, nine months after a transformer exploded at the Indian Point Nuclear Reactor just 37 miles from midtown Manhattan, and two months after Entergy, the plant’s operator, shut down the Unit 2 reactor after a major power outage cut power to several control rods. Entergy assured that no radioactivity was released into the environment, while NY Governor Andrew Cuomo said he learned that “radioactive tritium-contaminated water” had leaked into the groundwater at the nuclear facility located in Westchester County.

Cuomo, in a letter to the state Health Department and the Department of Environmental Conservation, called for the probe into the Indian Point Nuclear plant after he said Entergy, the plant’s owner, reported “alarming levels of radioactivity” at three monitoring wells, with one well’s radioactivity increasing nearly 65,000 percent.

This is outrageous as it seems that the response to this leak could have been taken from taking a page out of the Fukushima “crisis response” book.

Official word from Entergy is that the contamination has not migrated off site “and as such does not pose an immediate threat to public health.”

Do they really think this cliché response to the public is even being believed any more by people who may have been exposed to this contaminated water?

Many Ground Zero listeners remember that two years ago it was reported babies being born in a three county area of Yakima, Washington suffered from a condition known as anencephaly, a neural tube birth defect that causes infants to be born without certain areas of the brain and skull.

Officials with the Washington State Health Department and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had counted nearly two dozen cases in three years, a rate four times the national average.

Some people in that area believe the ground water near the Hanford Nuclear Plant area may be contaminated and the side effects may be the birth defects and other events that have happened in the area from mutant fish to dead cattle.

Sometimes there are things all around us that indicate the world is on a collision course with destiny. The tempting of fate seems to be a great sport with those who control us. They are able to make laws, take away rights and dictate to us what is sacred and what is profane. In the end, however, what wins is nature. Nature is neither good nor evil – but it carries out justice.

The world does not end or drop all at once, but at various times and places and apparently, by the hidden hand of controllers who not only make the world toxic, but whose actions are toxsickening.
