Did the governors in the Gulf 5 states lay it out in real simple terms to their constituents?

admin — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 22:08:16 +0000

That pay their wages…."Duh, the levels of benzine, and other vocs (poisons) in the air will either kill you outright or cause miscarriages and deformed children"? No, I don’t think they even respected them enough to inform them. They treat their state constituents worse than Nazi Germany prison guards to not even inform them of the "side-effects" of the benzene and corexit chemicals in their air, water and land. It’s all garbage like "Whoa, I found a 2 inch tar ball today, no problamento!" Meanwhile their constituents are treated like dirt to not even be informed of the chemical hazards they are breathing and drinking, not knowing it produces deformed children and cancer if it doesn’t kill them first.

Why are we not being told the real danger from the oil spill? Benzene and H2S?

admin — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 23:18:18 +0000

Millions are in danger but they don’t even know it and the government has denied leaked reports of plans to evacuate the Tampa Bay region. They are spraying Corexit 9500 all over the gulf coast further poisoning millions of victims.

You snake-oil selling, tin-foil hat wearing, …. oh wait..
He provides links with factual information?
Ouch, cognitive dissonance is giving me a headache..
Do I believe what master tells me, or think for myself?

Mike?? Really!!
H2S:
Long-term, low-level exposure may result in fatigue, loss of appetite, headaches, irritability, poor memory, and dizziness. Chronic exposure to low level H2S (around 2 ppm) has been implicated in increased miscarriage and reproductive health issues among Russian and Finnish wood pulp workers. 2 parts per million is a heavy concentration to you?

Benzene
DNA changes and breaks down at levels as low as 100 parts per billion. Recorded levels by the EPA are over 3000 parts per billion! Also, It is a chemical whose long term exposure is exponentially more dangerous than short term exposure pumping gas.

I have a legal question. Can I sue the US Air Force?

admin — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 15:28:30 +0000

I am receiving VA Disability, but the problem is the US Air Force made me use solvents that can cause neurological and psychiatric problems, these chemicals are methyl ethyl ketone and benzene. One lawyer I spoke to said I cannot sue because of the Feres V. United States case. I believe that the Air Force needs to educate Airmen on the dangers of MEK cause it is listed in the United Nations Convention Against Illicit and Psychotropic Drugs. I now have schizophrenia with no family history of the disease and a neurotoxicity expert has confirmed that this is because of the MEK and solvents used in aircraft repair. Could I still bring a lawsuit?

This is America, you can sue anyone.

about car accausing cancer?

Subject: Car A/C (Airconditioner) MUST READ!!!
More and more people are dying from cancer than ever before. We wonder how it comes about but here is an example that explains a lot of the cancer causing incidents.
Many people will rush into their cars first thing in the morning and the last thing at night, 7 days a week and start their cars and immediately switch on the air-conditioner.

Car A/C (Airconditioner) MUST READ!!!
DO NOT turn on your A/C as soon as you turn on the car ignition

Open the windows after you enter your car and turn ON the AC after a couple of minutes.

Here’s why:

According to a research, the car dashboard, sofa, air freshener emit Benzene, a Cancer causing toxin (carcinogen – take time to observe the smell of heated plastic in your car).

In addition to causing cancer, Benzene poisons your bones, causes anemia and reduces white blood cells.

Prolonged exposure will cause Leukemia and increases the risk of other cancers.

It can also cause miscarriage.

Acceptable Benzene level indoors is 50 mg per sq. ft. A car parked indoors with windows closed will contain 400-800 mg of Benzene.

If parked outdoors under the sun at a temperature above 60 degrees F, the Benzene level goes up to 2000-4000 mg, 40 times the acceptable level.

People who get into the car, keeping windows closed will inevitably inhale, in quick succession, excessive amounts of the toxin.

Benzene is a toxin that affects your kidney and liver.. What’s worse, it is extremely difficult for your body to expel this toxic stuff.

So friends, please open the windows and doors of your car – give time for the interior to air out and expel the deadly toxin before you enter.

Thought:

‘When someone shares something of value and importance with you and you benefit from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others.’

This is an e-mail that has been circulating around now for a couple of years. I know because I sent to people as well. I don’t know if it’s true or not but it does make sense and I know that when I get in my car, I leave the door or window open, start the car and step out for a while when I first put the air on. I let my car breath before I get into it and this e-mail has done this for a lot of people. So, thank you….again.

Why do we continue to subsidize ethanol when we know that there is no benefit?

Ethanol vehicles pose significant risk to health, new study finds (2007)
Ethanol is widely touted as an eco-friendly, clean-burning fuel. But if every vehicle in the United States ran on fuel made primarily from ethanol instead of pure gasoline, the number of respiratory-related deaths and hospitalizations likely would increase, according to a new study by Stanford University atmospheric scientist Mark Z. Jacobson. His findings are published in the April 18 online edition of the journal Environmental Science & Technology (ES&T).
"Ethanol is being promoted as a clean and renewable fuel that will reduce global warming and air pollution," said Jacobson, associate professor of civil and environmental engineering. "But our results show that a high blend of ethanol poses an equal or greater risk to public health than gasoline, which already causes significant health damage."
"We found that E85 vehicles reduce atmospheric levels of two carcinogens, benzene and butadiene, but increase two others—formaldehyde and acetaldehyde," Jacobson said. "As a result, cancer rates for E85 are likely to be similar to those for gasoline. However, in some parts of the country, E85 significantly increased ozone, a prime ingredient of smog."
Inhaling ozone—even at low levels—can decrease lung capacity, inflame lung tissue, worsen asthma and impair the body’s immune system, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. The World Health Organization estimates that 800,000 people die each year from ozone and other chemicals in smog.
"In our study, E85 increased ozone-related mortalities in the United States by about 200 deaths per year compared to gasoline, with about 120 of those deaths occurring in Los Angeles," Jacobson said. "These mortality rates represent an increase of about 4 percent in the U.S. and 9 percent in Los Angeles above the projected ozone-related death rates for gasoline-fueled vehicles in 2020."
E85 is likely to increase the annual number of asthma-related emergency room visits by 770 and the number of respiratory-related hospitalizations by 990," Jacobson said. "Los Angeles can expect 650 more hospitalizations in 2020, along with 1,200 additional asthma-related emergency visits."
The deleterious health effects of E85 will be the same, whether the ethanol is made from corn, switchgrass or other plant products, Jacobson noted. "Today, there is a lot of investment in ethanol," he said. "But we found that using E85 will cause at least as much health damage as gasoline, which already causes about 10,000 U.S. premature deaths annually from ozone and particulate matter. The question is, if we’re not getting any health benefits, then why continue to promote ethanol and other biofuels?
This ES&T study was partially supported by NASA.

The people who benefit are the people who get the subsidies. They are the same people that own the politicians. Which is why we need to get different politicians elected, but it is hard to unseat an incumbent. Just look at the past election. We know for a fact that many, many house members should have been ousted because of their failure on the economic crisis but few were replaced. Everyone seems to believe it was someone else’s politician to blame not their own. So, ethanol subsidies will continue, Fannie and Freddie won’t have to change bad business practices. Acorn will also be subsidized by public money and next election we will have the same fiasco.

Hopefully the auto industry will be allowed to go into bankrupcy, so they can end their failed business practices. If we bail them out they will continue to hire and use people who are inferior business people.

This is chain email true?

It just doesn’t seem plausible.. If it is true, why have I not heard of it sooner?

This email’s been around since around the same time last year. Rather than summarize what they put, I just pasted the link. It’s listed as partially true, partially false, and explains why.

It’s always a good site to check when you receive something like this. The main page is www.snopes.com.

is there any truth to this causing cancer?

i dont believe this myself and if it is true i doubt its any more dangerous than any other cancer causing agents.

do you know if this is for real or just another hoax?

When in doubt, check Snopes.

In speaking of 9/11 why do the media and politicians use terms like "Ground Zero" and "fallout"?

admin — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 00:16:28 +0000

And why, like nuclear attack and poisoned victims, do 9/11 workers have the same kinds of cancers and blood diseases?

“When I got diagnosed,” says Walcott, “I was going crazy. I’d never been sick. But I’ll never forget: I had a variety of doctors and nurses, and a question they all asked—which I found crazy at the time—was, ‘Were you ever exposed to >>>radiation<<< or benzene?’

The term ground zero (sometimes also known as surface zero as distinguished from zero point) may be used to describe the point on the earth’s surface where an explosion occurs. In the case of an explosion above the ground, ground zero refers to the point on the ground directly below an explosion (see hypocenter.*
