    The Great West Virginia Freedom Industries’ Poison Swindle VIDEO

    The Great West Virginia Freedom Industries’ Poison Swindle VIDEO


    Friday, January 17, 2014 23:38



    A detailed synopsis of Freedom Industry’s bankruptcy filed Friday, Jan. 17, after poisoning 100,000 houses and 300,000 people in West Virginia with its mystery chemical, was presented by MSNBC late Friday.
    “The company at the center of the West Virginia water crisis appears to be dodging lawsuits and creditors,” says MSNBC’s Chris Hayes.
    Only eight days after Freedom Industries, a distributor for the Koch brothers, was found to have caused the water crisis, it has filed Chapter 11 Bankrupcy.
    Freedom has operated with almost no government oversight and subject to almost no state and local monitoring.
    There is, however, much more to this story in the state that has been a model of corporatism for the rest of the nation, as reporter Bob Kincaid told Hayes Friday in the report below.
    One thing that remains unmentioned in relation to the West Virginia chemical leak, absent from any advisory or warning, is what toxicologists, such as Dr. Riki Ott, repeatedly told Gulf Coast residents after the 2010 BO Gulf oil catastrophe. That is:
    “If you can smell the poison, you are being poisoned.”
    The other thing that too many Gulf Coast survivors learned the hard way is, that no amount of poison is “safe.”
    Finally, an advisory was issued Friday about children and the water crisis.
    Dr. Raheel Khan, president of the West Virginia chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, has stated that younger children may also be more at risk.
    A report published Friday said children should only drink bottled water, but many question if that is enough to protect the young from being poisoned.
    West Virginians first learned about the water crisis on January 9, when authorities warned 300,000 people living in nine West Virginia counties tonot use tap water or do anything with it except flush their toilets with it.
    Over 7,000 gallons of a chemical, known as “Crude MCHM,” had leaked from a Freedom Industry storage tank into the Elk River — the key water supply source for the area.
    A strong licorice odor was a signal that achemical was present. Officials warned they could not say the water was safe.
    Last weekend, state health officials said they had guidance from the Centers For Disease Control.
    Monday, officials began lifting the water ban in some areas. As that happened, the number of residents having to go to emergency rooms surged.
    Water continues injuring and/or making people sick, some with even short exposure, including people in areas where the water ban was lifted and despite their flushing home water systems as officials directed.
    Here’s Chris Hayes reporting (below) how the company responsible for this growing disaster has been able thus far to escape accountability and continues attempting to do so.
    Sunday, the Charleston Gazette reported one of Freedom Industries’ well-connected executives, Carl Lemley Kennedy II, has two prior felonies. In 2005, he was charged with tax evasion and failure to pay the government Freedom employees’ tax withholdings while he was the company’s accountant from 2000 to 2003. The other felony came in 1987, for selling cocaine.
    But the NSNBC story (in the video below) goes much deeper than that.

    West Virginia Health Catastrophe Cover-up: Doctor Says Water Still Not Safe– Chemical Burns, Rashes And Nausea Just The Tip Of The Iceberg! pictures and video


    Friday, January 17, 2014 11:44

    We have only seen the tip of the iceberg in the West Virginia riverbank tank leak. Dr. Elizabeth Brown has been treating people who suffered burns, rashes and irritated eyes after a riverbank storage tank ruptured and spilled thousands of gallons of a coal acleaning chemical into the river. Dr. Brown told the media that we have only seen the tip of the iceberg.

    When the tap water started to flow again in parts of West Virginia’s Kanawha Valley on Monday, some of Dr. Elizabeth Brown’s patients began to trickle into her office with some peculiar symptoms.

    “I started seeing people in the afternoon who came in with skin rashes af ter trying to wash their hands, rashes all over their body after showering, irritated eyes, some nausea and fatigue, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg….,” READMORE
    No health studies have ever been conducted on the chemical, 4-methylcyclohexane methanol (MCHM), which is used to wash coal and get it ready for market.

    Aacording to CNN: Little is known about the safety implications for 4-methylcyclohexane methanol, according to the state’s Poison Control director Dr. Elizabeth Scharman because it hasn’t been adequately studied.

    We don’t know if it is harmful to babies in the womb, or causes long term genetic and health problems. We don’t know if it causes cancer, or long term organ damaage. We don’t know what we don’t know, and state and local authorities have done nothing to clue us in.



    We also don’t know what concentrations are dangerous. Some have said that everything will be OK down stream because by the time the chemical gets to the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, it will be so dilute that it won’t matter.

    WE DON’T KNOW THAT. We don’t know that because we don’t know the concentrations needed to cause problems to human health.



    We also do not know if it will combine with chemicals already in the river to create an even more dangerous chemical. According to the United States Geological Survey:

    When used for drinking water, the amounts of many of the contaminants can be eliminated or reduced by conventional or advanced treatments at water treatment facilities. However, drinking-water standards have not been established for the individual compounds or for the mixtures found, so the potential human-health risk of chemicals that may be present in drinking water after treatment is not known.
    So, people need to protect themselves in the event of a chemical spill intto their water supply, because water filtration plants DO NOT REMOVE ALL CONTAMINANTS.

    It is important to keep in mind that no individual water treatment device removes every contaminant from drinking water. Depending on the severity of contamination, it may be necessary to replace your source of drinking water by developing an alternative water supply or purchasing bottled water. Some of these options can be costly and inconvenient, so it is important to have your water tested regularly and remain informed of community water quality issues and decisions. For more information about drinking water treatment methods and devices, also see the Drinking Water Treatment page.
    Now, how is this stuff measured? Like this: “One ppb equals one drop of water mixed in a competition-size swimming pool One ppm is comparable to one drop of gasoline in a tank full of gas in a full-size car. One ppm is 1000 times higher than one ppb”. SOURCE
