The horrific environmental catastrophe in East Palestine, Ohio has contaminated the air, the soil and the water in a lot of the area.  So how a lot, if any, of the meals that’s grown in that a part of the nation might be fit for human consumption?  I had not thought of that query an excessive amount of till I acquired a really alarming cellphone name.  One of many those that I spoke to throughout that cellphone name was a girl that I do know personally.  I’ve recognized her for years, and I’ve visited along with her in her personal front room, and so I can vouch for her honesty.  She informed me that her “son-in-law manages three natural meals farms in California, Idaho, and Washington State”, and that he’s “warning household and associates to prepare for extreme meals shortages beginning this spring”.  Apparently there are a number of components that may trigger meals provides to be tighter, and one of many greatest is the truth that the “Ohio spill has contaminated lots of land and water”.  Apparently there’s a scramble “to seek out clear meals” and her son-in-law is receiving plenty of cellphone calls from patrons within the jap half of the nation that need to purchase what his farms are producing.

We are going to simply have to attend and see if issues might be as unhealthy as this supply is suggesting.

However we do know that some firms have already began to take motion because of issues about contamination.

For instance, one grocery chain has already eliminated bottled water from retailer cabinets “as a result of it was bottled 25 miles from the derailment”…

Weeks after a practice derailment close to the Ohio-Pennsylvania border left hazardous chemical compounds burning from railcars, fears of the potential impacts are being felt in locations removed from the accident.

Grocery chain Big Eagle, with a whole lot of shops in 5 states together with Ohio and Pennsylvania, pulled bottled water off cabinets out of an “abundance of warning” as a result of it was bottled 25 miles from the derailment.

And we additionally know that giant numbers of animals are dying.

In actual fact, officers at the moment are publicly admitting that roughly 43,000 “fish, amphibians, crustaceans and different aquatic animals” are already useless…

The derailment in East Palestine doubtlessly killed greater than 43,000 fish, amphibians, crustaceans and different aquatic animals in close by streams, state officers stated Thursday.

It would take time for the stream ecosystem to recuperate, stated Mary Mertz, director of the Ohio Division of Pure Assets.

“We all know it gained’t be fast,” she stated. “Nevertheless it’s going to come back again.”

In the end, the ultimate demise toll amongst animals will inevitably be a lot bigger.

One other factor that we all know is that plenty of those that dwell in and round East Palestine are getting sick.  The next instance comes from the New York Put up…

Wade Lovett’s been having bother respiratory for the reason that Feb. 3 Norfolk South practice derailment and poisonous explosion right here. In actual fact, his voice sounds as if he’s been inhaling helium.

“Docs say I undoubtedly have the chemical compounds in me however there’s nobody on the town who can run the toxicological checks to seek out out which of them they’re,” Lovett, 40, an auto detailer, stated in an especially high-pitched voice. “My voice feels like Mickey Mouse. My regular voice is low. It’s laborious to breathe, particularly at night time. My chest hurts a lot at night time I really feel like I’m drowning. I cough up phlegm quite a bit. I misplaced my job as a result of the physician gained’t launch me to go to work.”

We now have by no means seen something fairly like this earlier than, and there are such a lot of questions which might be going unanswered.

Proper now, lots of people are questioning why the EPA has immediately stopped all shipments of contaminated waste from the catastrophe web site…

Federal environmental authorities have ordered a brief halt within the cargo of contaminated waste from the location of a fiery practice derailment earlier this month in jap Ohio close to the Pennsylvania state line.

Area 5 administrator Debra Shore of the Environmental Safety Company stated Saturday the company ordered Norfolk Southern to “pause” shipments from the location of the Feb. 3 derailment in East Palestine however vowed that elimination of the fabric would resume “very quickly.”

Why can’t they inform us why they made this resolution?

And why gained’t Joe Biden go to Ohio?

When he was instantly requested about visiting East Palestine, that is how he responded…

The president answered, ‘At this level, I’m not,’ however then he appeared confused and strained as he tried to elucidate himself.

‘I did an entire video, I imply, um, what the hell, on,’ Biden rambled as he regarded for reporters to fill within the hole.

‘Zoom?’ one of many reporters stated, attempting to assist the president.

‘Zoom! All I can consider each time I consider Zoom is that track in my era, Who’s Zoomin’ Who,’ he stated, referencing the Aretha Franklin track.

Come on Joe.

Is that basically the very best that you are able to do?

In the meantime, we proceed to see very odd disasters occur at important amenities throughout North America.  On Thursday, large fires immediately erupted at three completely different Pemex amenities…

Three separate fires at Petroleos Mexicanos amenities on Thursday killed one employee, left not less than eight folks injured and a number of other others lacking, placing the Mexican state oil firm’s security report below scrutiny forward of its earnings name on Monday.

There have been three separate fires in three completely different oil refineries owned by the identical firm, Pemex. All in someday.

Are we imagined to consider that three separate amenities all had catastrophic “accidents” on the very same day?

Right here in america, greater than 100 meals processing amenities have been mysteriously destroyed over the previous couple of years.

What number of incidents should occur earlier than authorities will lastly admit that there’s some form of a sample?

Meals manufacturing simply retains getting hit time and again achieve, and this comes at a time when the worldwide meals shortages that we’ve been anticipating have already begun.

I might extremely advocate stocking up when you nonetheless can, as a result of we’re transferring into instances of nice uncertainty.
