You know they’re desperate when they’ve resorted to chemical warfare against civilians. They’re getting brazen. They’re getting reckless. This is how serial murderers get caught.
Your article is good, but is a description of the process. Who "they" are needs to be specified. Perhaps that defines a great deal of present circumstances, which is that our system grants powerful people invisibility, which is an almost godlike power.
Thank you, Mathew, and yes, that’s why I included Katherine’s list of war criminals. I tend to focus more on patterns and mechanisms while she identities specific culprits.
And yes, the Kunlangeta do seem to have achieved the power of invisibility, which is only possible because the colluders (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-a-colluder-stop-enabling) cloak them. If we can get the colluders to realize they are next in the cross-hairs and need to join us before they are disposed of, we might have a chance of unmasking the invisible ones.
I don’t know if you’ve connected with Josh Ketry of The Rationalist, but I know he has been working on a transparency and decentralization movement that seems up your alley.
Do you think that a deep dive into the Panama Papers would reveal enough of "them", or are the real financial powers concealed another layer down?
There is also a bureaucratic power elite, exemplified by Anthony Fauci, to consider, although he is a bit too visible. Maurice Strong and Mark Carney from Canada are some of the visible players but, like Klaus Schwab, are likely in the second or third tier .
If we could start squeezing the front men like Gates, Schwab, a Rothschild or two, we could work our way up the ladder to get those names. Larry Romanoff wrote a pretty good article published on The Unz Review called The Richest Man Alive in which he pointed to a lot of the extremely wealthy families of the world, the sources of their wealth, its present value after compounded interest and how most of these families are not household names. They don’t need to remain hidden. They are not opposing this operation. They must be, at the very least, complicit, but more likely are the instigators.
well who is going to catch themselves. the govt is like a dog on a leach. the justice dept is made up of people who are nominated by them. and these people have 99 % of the money. and most of them own property and land all over. are you the pekinese going to kill them?
Agreed. With regards to mitigating / healing the damage done by the Ohio chemical dump/burn I put together some intel and actionable solutions for foods and natural compounds that help detox Dioxin from the human body and methods for soil Bioremediation. I gathered the info into this article:
outside of hedge funds, probably Brookshire Hathaway owns more rail stock than anyone else; there are a couple of very large investors in pipelines, again outside the hedge funds
"The woman in this video says there are hundreds of cars and that the say liquid odorless petroleum gas on the cars that are sitting really low on their axles. She also said that the locals said that the train’s presence is unprecedented. Locals know. That does imply that they are full."
This woman clearly knows nothing about railway equipment. There's no way to tell from just looking at a rail car whether it's loaded or not. She also wonders who owns them, but hasn't noticed the reporting marks that tell you who the owners are. You only have look them up.
You can track individual rail cars using the reporting marks to find out where they are, where they originated, what their cargo is, and who the consignee is. I'm sure if you ran those numbers you'd find they're empty in storage because there's a surplus of tank cars right now, and when that happens they are often stored on unused sidings on secondary lines. No way are those cars loaded, given the remote location. Tank cars are all privately owned these days so you couldn't insure them or their cargo under those conditions. Insurers would demand a more secure location.
If they're in 'odorless' service that means they haul from the wellhead to the refinery, where SH2 is added for safety. That's the rotten egg smell you get from gas products which are odourless and heavier than air, so the smell is added for safety reasons to detect any leaks.
A few minutes on the web could have answered all her questions, or she could have just phoned the railroad and asked about it. Instead she gets alarmed based on an emotional response to a recent serious event and broadcasts that on the web, where it gets picked up and rebroadcast by others, without anyone looking into it any further than she did.
This is what happens when you combine fear and ignorance in a mass media environment. It distracts attention, plus it interferes with serious investigative work by making us all look like idiots.
Stay focused people. If something is outside your area of expertise, don't rebroadcast it, ask someone who knows, or look into it yourself. There's far too much at stake right now to be distracted by this sort of thing.
I was wondering along these lines. If you’re correct, and what you write seems valid, you are making excellent points. I hope Jessica sees this comment. I agree that it’s left hanging by this woman’s video, and it’s extremely frustrating that there is no sense of “we’re getting to the bottom of it”. I wrote this in my first comment here, after watching. I grew up in California, and I understand what she means about being in the middle of nowhere, so it certainly worries me a little but like you say, should be followed up and researched a little. Keep in mind, not everyone knows about trains and people make assumptions to try to get a hypothesis. It needs to be examined and followed up to contain it, if you’re right. And I hope you are. Also keep in mind that we are in a war of a different kind, and people who have seen the corruption are nervous. I agree we need to keep our emotions in check. Thanks for your post.
Also California actually regulates their railways. They have to or they would be spilling over from earthquakes all the time. So far as I’ve seen we’re not prone to manmade disasters, only natural disasters. Even L.A. isn’t as smoggy as it used to be. Maybe that’s why we’re so obsessed with climate change over everyday pollution issues
Perhaps farmers, ranchers, would not know how to decipher a railroad, but they would know if they're seeing something they have not seen before.
I was never one to assume any nefarious activity beyond profit seeking, and capturing regulators to make profits unhindered. Thankfully that was enough to make me not trust the shots. I thought everyone warning about depopulation ranged from too speculative to clinically paranoid. But seeing all that has happened ...
Still, I don't want to be sharing baseless info and scaring people. Also don't want to be ignoring something that needs attention ...
We have to distinguish between what the media reports (or sensationalizes) and what's really happening. As another poster pointed out, derailments are a common occurrence, as are hazardous spills unfortunately. Something that needs attention no doubt, but how does this relate to vaccine injury and government overreach is the question I'm asking. We have to set clear priorities and stay focused, otherwise we're just spinning our wheels.
A relation would be intentional poison (if the railroad was notified there was a track problem, and said to keep going. . . people with relevant expertise are saying there could have been another option besides lighting it on fire, or having it explode.)
A relation would be poisoning our ability to function on our own as far as farmland / food, or a functional immune system in the case of pharma.
These things are all stretches, I admit. I dont know if this is actually an intentional agenda, it may just be that drug companies want to make money, people are brainwashed to think of vaccines as The Saviour, and it may be that rail infrastructure is crumbling because companies are financially greedy and workers are shortstaffed and tired (and sick).
There may be nothing at all beyond that (that's bad enough). I don't know.
But with everything that's happened, and with it being so clear now that they knew how poisonous, even to future generations, these injections were ...
There are connections.
And confusion.
I don't want to jump to any conclusions. But also don't want to ignore warnings, as I once did when I thought things deeper than profit motive were all speculation ...
I'm no expert, I nearly bombed out in organic chemistry. But chemistry is the only true science and whatever the truth is, the tankers should or shouldn't have been ignited, should be a clear cut case. Why we can't even get the opinion of someone who knows, based purely on the clarity of their explanation, is beyond me.
I think we're being Psy-Oped. Ever since Jordon Walker our side has lost their minds. I think too many on our side are conspiracy theorists with appalling reasoning skills who were correct about Covid just because it was so obvious. Now TPTB have taken back control and we sound like Alex Jones on a bender.
Forget about Trump and the US government tasking the DoD with carrying out Covid. Now we're running around pulling our hair out over multiple distracting issues. "Pfizer did it, we got this guy that sounds like he never studied biology and James O'Keefe caught him. And Sy Hersh has proven the CIA are the good guys, the Biden administration is full of clear thinking genius level strategists and tacticians, and it was all Joe Biden's fault. Don't ask about the 17 hour gap. The long awaited alien invasion is happening and they snuck in using interstellar weather balloons".
Can't dioxin or any of this other stuff be measured? You'd think we were living in the middle ages. Can't Tucker Carlson afford to get the opinion of an expert?
Which doesn't mean I think the overall situation is benign. I think it's worse then people realize. I used to think only some of the news was a lie but now I think almost everything is made up. I think we should be focusing on the very edges of what's known.
I have no idea what's hidden but here's an idea. First we were told it came from a wet market then after over a year of resistance we're supposed to believe it was an accident from a foreign commie lab. The best theory with the fewest holes is that each variant was made by the US military and released on purpose. But what if the real truth is completely unknown? What if the appearance of a clown show is just theater and TPTB are actually way smarter then us?
I don't know. I'm speculating. But recently I found out that almost everyone we thought was on our side or a good guy are actually part of an operation. Even wikileaks, perhaps with the exception only of Assange, is part of a PsyOp. Glenn Greenwald and Edward Snowden are con artists. Vault 7 was fake. Glenn Greenwald is pushing the Sy Hersh story which ought to be a clue. Even Oliver Stone is suspect. His son Sean Stone runs a cult (it sounds like the "Sexy" kind) and is friends with Sacha Stone who also runs a cult. Sacha Stone works for an occult wing of the UN and this organisation enjoys RFK Jr and Dr. Judy Mikovits as members. RFK Jr recently released a photo of him hiking with O'Keefe.
The long time conspiracy theorists I know have always said "if they're a good guy how come they're allowed to have a platform". What if everything we know is a lie? I don't mean that the deathvaxx is actually safe as milk. I mean the underlying reasons and causes.
Thanks for the excellent comment. Too many on the antinarrative side are running off hysterical at the first excuse. Our side doesn't have to believe in or repeat nonsense. If we were nothing but clear thinkers we'd still be 100% correct.
I haven't watched the video because I have watched the railroad for since childhood and asked many questions (Southern Pacific the Southern most likely in Norfolk Southern) { Southern merged with Norfolk & Western Railway on June 1, 1982, to form the Norfolk Southern Railway, a component of Norfolk Southern Corp. Construction began from Savannah as Central Rail Road & Banking Company of Georgia in December 1835. Controlled by Illinois Central 1909-48, and by Frisco 1956-61. https://www.trains.com/trn/railroads/history/norfolk-southern-merger-family-tree/}, and felt a need to dig deeper.
What makes you believe the SHPX list you reference is accurate? I mean, given what seems to be going on, your trust of an online list of rail cars and contents seems foolish as well.
And now, because you implied that I'm being foolish for trusting an industry standard ID system that's been in use for over 100 years, I'll ask you politely, what exactly is the basis for your mistrust of the information I'm sharing? Do you have information that contradicts what I've said, or are you just being obtuse?
When the Public Citizen of the United States of America can physically investigate the data on the ground, then I will have more confidence.
Think Erin Brockovich. Today most of those avenues have been shuttered. If the government/Industry is involved in documenting ownership, why trust them? Neither have a track record of honesty.
Why should those who own the rail cars not be liable for the damage they cause?
PS I liked your point about the tree falling on the car behind the passenger compartment. It led to your question "what are these distraction (balloons, railroad derailments etc.) really hiding?
I don't think this was anything more than it appears to be - a serious rail accident caused by equipment failure and/or improper response to an emergency situation. Same goes for those stored tank cars. Nothing burger.
The fact that people are reading more into it simply speaks to the times we live in, and the media environment we're immersed in.
"Why should those who own the rail cars not be liable for the damage they cause?"
Who said they shouldn't? I just identified the owner of at least one of them, probably all of them since they move in blocks, and look what thanks I got. Shoot the messenger, and zero response from the person who thinks stored rail cars pose some kind of imminent threat.
> "Why should those who own the rail cars not be liable for the damage they cause?"
Who said they shouldn't?
____________
I didn't mean to imply you did. So far it looks to me like East Palestine derailment will not be adequately paid for by the companies that profit from the use of the RxR. Rather as the government gets involved FEMA will pick up the bill and fail to do even a mediocre job.
We has a pollution problem by a Gold mining company in the 1980s -1990s. The company skated and the county got stuck with the polluted land. Now most folks in the area have forgotten the costly incident to local taxpayers. The county has land that the public who pay for it's maintenance are not allowed to use. So this is one of many incidents I know of that shaft the tax payer and those who profit escape with their profits.
yeah I am seriously frustrate as I find no way to do much about this nonsense.
I differ because I have been pissed about the pollution of our bio sphere/Gaia since I graduated from High school in the 1960s. Ground water is a big concern. Historically you weren't allowed to foul water. Against the law. But it took a long time to figure out that industrial activity was fouling the ground water where ever manufacturing takes place.
As rural as my brother is in the Foothills of California and a long ways from any mining activity, his well water still has glyphosate at the ppb level. We feel that is not our problem. That those who manufacture glyphosate should pay the freight and make the ground water pristine again.
Ahhh but that is to expensive. No it is not, just build the cost of maintaining purity of ground water and preventing or paying for cancer (treatment) and so many other problems into the price the person pays at the checkout counter.
Ahhhh but then nobody would by the product. TRUE as it should be.
ebear I think I sense your heart through the posts. You have a deep and caring heart. I admife that. I on the other hand care deeply too. But I am so pissed. I do what I can, feels a lot like spitting/pissing into the wind.
I agree with ebear's position. Your position Jacquelyn cuts to the heart of the matter. Anytime the citizens of the country what to know the roots of the matter and ask via FOIA they get redacted reports.
Redacted reports are a result of deep corporate and government collaboration that enables fraud. Your question needs to be answered and verified.
This event should be taken as suspicious. However, it is important to figure out who could be behind it. And if we cannot---if there is no chain of command in government that would allow for transparency---then we should recognize what that means.
Part of cognitive warfare is the problem of group emotions being manipulated and then aimed. What if we don't know where to aim them? What if some people are misled to fire off their anger at the wrong target?
Also, is this a moment when too few people are speaking to believe this could happen with people being compromised? Compromised...how?
They are well marked, out in the open and train manifests will show this is just a staging area for cars on a track waiting for their next destination.
My brother, the train buff, indicates that with the lovely economy we've been having, fewer rail cars are in use at any given time, and thus more equipment is left sitting on sidings until needed.
Contaminating all of our food growing areas would mean that we would have to rely on other countries for food. Ukraine used to be the breadbasket of Europe/the Soviet Union but Chernobyl significantly reduced that. That could have contributed to the fall of the U.S.S.R. Perhaps we would have to rely on RUSSIA for food? I mean I hate to blame Russia for everything but if all these GOP people such as the governor who ordered it to be burnt are really working for Putin then isn’t this the kind of thing Putin would want them to do?
Perhaps there are multiple ways for me to rephrase---I think people must be compromised. And we should think through how that would happen. It would fantastic to ever get ahold of one compromised person to explain the project. Is it global, Epstein level operative converage? M.I.C.E.
It’s happening everywhere and it’s really concerning: a fire at a chemical plant in Holland, another fire in Verona (Italy) … ten chemical spills/fires in one week.
Are you sure that these aren’t common occurrences and that you’re just noticing them more?
The Ohio disaster was particularly noteworthy due to its size and the coincidence of the timing and its location with the movie “White Noise”. Oh and right before the accident that location was picked to test some heart rate/breathing monitoring gadget on them.
But like a couple hundred such incidents happen in the US alone every year, even more now due to deregulations. Worldwide it could be brain fog from COVID/mRNA injections contributing to more accidents being caused. Quotidian chemical spills could explain the variation in dioxin levels in the same brand of food product over time.
Train derailments happen frequently. They are not rare. The problem with the Ohio disaster was not the train accident, but the purposeful ignition of the chemicals. Accidents happen, but decisions were purposely made to explode the chemicals. That is where the fault lies - who made that decision and why.
Indeed, only in the movie the fire happened on accident due to a truck full of flammable liquid crashing into the train loaded with toxic waste left over from pesticide production. They could have just let the tank leak instead... or explode and burn even more... but there were other options besides burning it. I have to wonder how competent these people are if they really think that burning vinyl chloride is only going to produce phosgene and hydrochloric acid which, while nasty, decompose fairly quickly. It’s stated pretty plainly on Wikipedia that burning vinyl chloride produces dioxins. Sure the yield from a tank that size will probably only be a few grams, but dioxins are toxic at sub-microgram doses so that’s still enough to poison millions of people. Never mind that they loaded the tank up so big, I’m assuming they calculated that even the significant chance that an accident would happen and bring it all to waste would be worth the couple of bucks they saved by not splitting it into smaller tanks to be transported separately. Surely at some point the infrastructure would become so bad that it would actually be more cost-effective to pay a couple Mexicans under the table to fix those tracks up a bit than to let it derail and spill, explode or burn every goddamn time they ship out a tank of flammable shit? They’ve got to be either stupid or criminally negligent, or even murderous. I think stupid because even a genocidal maniac or a cutthroat capitalist, if they have any brains, would think twice about going so far with mass murder or cost cutting as to poison the breadbasket of their own country for generations to come, unless they’re a foreign agent and that’s exactly what they want to do. So maybe there are actual Russian agents involved somewhere?
Tires. Billions of them. Synthetic rubber molecules worn off as dust all along the nation's highways and city streets, entering the environment and thus the food chain.
Tires are made from a dozen different types of synthetic rubber, some of which are believed to mimic molecules that regulate biological processes, others which are known carcinogens. for example: https://www.osha.gov/butadiene/health-effects
It's the little things that get us, not the big stuff.
I thought they were made with vulcanized rubber? That’s just regular rubber bonded together with disulfide bonds? Maybe a synthetic rubber too but so long as it doesn’t have chlorine or fluorine in the chemical structure it shouldn’t be too toxic to burn, would be like burning hair...
Look there is a long history into why we don't have public rail transportation. Which in general would be much less harmful to the environment. It is certainly the case that electric rail ( rather than EVs like Tesla) are very efficient and minimize pollution mentioned above.
"One of the grand parts of American mythology revolves around what is called “America’s Love Affair With the Automobile”, presented as an exciting if a bit quirky personal expression of independent and freedom-loving America, where inexpensive mass transportation failed to evolve due to Americans’ individuality and desire for freedom. But this historical narrative is wrong. Today’s US ‘car culture’ was the result of a massive conspiracy contrived by the auto and oil oligarchs and, like the consumer society, imposed on an unsuspecting nation through deceit and propaganda. Most of the truth has been deleted from the historical record and replaced with a ‘feel-good’ fairytale. After trashing the mass transit systems, the automakers led by GM produced a wide array of mythical narratives to justify and praise the transportation system they had created."
Yeah I view a car as a ball and chain rather than freedom. You have to pay for insurance and a driver’s license and gas... and you have to learn how to drive which I never learned how to do because I think I’m too autistic to understand road rules consistently and too ADHD to pay enough attention. When I was seven and I drove a Barbie car into a ditch I knew I was never going to get the hang of driving. I never even learned to ride a bike - my sister had a bike with training wheels but the training wheels were defective and one of them would turn over whenever we tried to ride it. So I just walk and take the bus and trolley everywhere. It’s good exercise. I get a free bus pass for being disabled. It takes a long time but it’s free and my mind is left free to do other things during the ride (must keep alert enough not to miss my stop though!) A bus ticket to L.A. from San Diego is $20 if you buy it early, $40 if you buy it last-minute.
People in America travelled by rail right up until the Interstate System was built, which was a response to transportation bottlenecks that occurred during WWII. Once that was in place, interstate trucking began to compete with the railroads, as did bus companies who had faster more direct connections, including to places not served by rail. Passenger travel by rail finally died as a result of commercial air travel and long distance travel by car, as auto designs improved in safety and comfort, and motels and gas stations sprang up to service their travel needs.
You don't need a conspiracy theory to explain it, the free market principle is good enough. Ford and GM want to sell you cars. It's what they do. If you have a need or desire, then you'll buy one, and if enough people do that entire industries will appear to service those needs. This is just the story of American ingenuity driven by the profit motive directed by people's needs and wants. If that wasn't true, then people wouldn't buy their cars, washing machines, toasters, TVs, radios and so on.
Of course I may be wrong. Washing machines may have been a communist conspiracy to free up women's time so they could attend protests to demand suffrage, knowing they'd vote for socialism because women are social creatures. I'm sure if I packaged that theory correctly some people would believe it.
> You don't need a conspiracy theory to explain it, the free market principle is good enough. Ford and GM want to sell you cars. It's what they do. If you have a need or desire, then you'll buy one, and if enough people do that entire industries will appear to service those needs.
From your response I guess you at least scanned the link. Question: who built the highways; public or private?
While you imply strongly that what I point out is a conspiracy theory, I actually first encountered this idea in CoEvolution Quarterly in the early 1970s and it was well documented. Honestly I had to read it many times and look up references before I began to accept the premise. Note the Railroads own the rails, but the public own the highways. And I can tell you that highways don't get much respect even in California.
Without public funding of highways all roads would be toll roads. Most folks could not afford the toll.
> If that wasn't true, then people wouldn't buy their cars, washing machines, toasters, TVs, radios and so on.
Actually not true across the board. Those monster communist Amish reject most of the nonsense items you mention above. The also don't need public health care etc. There health is much better than the average US citizen. But being communist (sarcasm for sure. It seemed to me you were sarcastic as well), why would anyone respect the Amish.
And we see how well the profit motive has served public health with the rollout of SarsCov2 gene therapy injectables. Sorry the profit motive is a very low bar and if that is all that is working I don't trust it at all.
Butadiene or other monomers (building blocks) are very low in concentration in finished polymers (like synthetic rubber) so they seem unlikely candidates.
That's not to say that widespread contamination is irrelevant (see leaded gasoline).
The direct risk to humans is only one concern. The food chain, starting from micro-biota through insects, birds, mammals etc. is the bigger issue. There's a lot of variables here. Hard to isolate them. The reason I mentioned tires is because it's an almost intractable problem, unless we all stop driving cars. What doesn't degrade accumulates somewhere, and tires are built to resist degradation.
High winds tonight, and as usual, the power went out. So we hoped in the car and headed for Timmy's where the lights are always on because it's near the hospital.
On the way there we were stopped by an accident. What happened is a car got hit by a falling tree. Demolished everything aft of the rear window. Driver's area unscathed. So I asked myself (and my wife) how often does a tree fall on you while driving AND you walk away unscathed? What are the odds?
So putting on my magical thinking cap I decided it was telling me to pay attention to the outliers - those rare events that go unnoticed while we're distracted by things like balloons and rail accidents, which themselves are not so rare.
When you're sitting up at 2am in the morning looking at the string of recent train derailments and notice a post by one of your substack faves:
GET OUT OF MY MIND 😆 🤣 😂 JK 😜
While you're in there, my mind that is, can you visit what happened a decade ago with investigations into SSRIs having a calming effect on specific autoimmune conditions? I'd had some thoughts about a possibility of SSRIS making IgG4 RD less visible..... it's a little bit of a stretch that needs some finer details ironed out to see if it is even plausible.
It’s difficult to get too excited about train cars sitting on tracks in the middle of nowhere. Where do you “park” trains not in use? Also, having grown up in CA I know if nuts/walnuts are targeted, Stanislaus is hardly the county to hit. Most of the nut production is in the northern portion of the state. As for contamination of water, there are easier and more discrete ways, a train derailment most likely isn’t the quickest or most thorough. I think what we have here is ignited fear keeping people busy and or distracted.
Ok, I have to say, if it was “the talk of the valley” I certainly hope they are making FORMAL INQUIRIES and taking action to get RID OF THE TRAINS. I think those ranchers are being excellently observant, and bringing folks together to see it from external to the valley VERY IMPT. It’s a big frustrating to see it stop there... Let’s hope it’s not? Thank you Jessica for sharing this and keeping a bit chute channel.
Who will haul the toxic waste then? Perhaps it isn't the trains just the way the railways are managed. Maximize profit minimize cost and when there are rail accidents. Paint over the public perception and make it soothing to the mind.
Nevertheless as long was we use toxins (check your life style. What are you willing to live with out.) we will have spills. But all toxins should be handeled with the same respect as we have for radio active waste.
A great question to ask is how many accidents with radio active waste are reported to the public or easily identified in the public data base. I am sure they happen. Just never hear about them because, well "nothing to see here"
I was wondering why we need a Food Security Agency here in the UK. There is my answer... PEOPLE WAKE UP!!! No almonds means no marzipan, we have to get this sorted!
Allow me to explain how this works. There was a recent serious train wreck. It got a lot of attention, so any train wreck anywhere for a period of time will make the news because that's what sells right now. Eventually something else will take its place as the "thing to worry about" and train wrecks will be forgotten. Have we forgotten about balloons yet? Almost, right?
Rail accidents are far more common that people realize. You don't hear about them because they're usually in remote areas and the cargo isn't hazardous, just a pain to clean up. Only Railroads and their insurers get upset about it. No one else cares, so it doesn't make the news.
If it bleeds it leads. That's the way it works, and the more fear, revulsion or pathos it invokes the more breakfast cereal, detergent or pharmaceuticals it sells. Just turn it off. Play some music instead. Otherwise you just get burned out and feeling helpless, which is exactly what "they" want.
I realize rail accidents are common, but what's happening now is another level. I'm not (and probably no one here is), glued to CNN to hear whatever they want to say. I get so many substacks in my inbox, I use that as a search engine to see what real, good people are saying, without an agenda to sell cereal or drugs.
I'm in the wind / rain path of the Ohio disaster, although ~400 miles away. Trying not to over or under react, and profoundly grateful for substackers who are doing the best they can to figure out what's going on, and also natural ways to help the body deal with these toxins.
And the only time I spent on the LOOK ITS A BALLOON! #Current Thing was listening to Chris Martenson talk about how the balloon thing is a distraction from real shit, like this chemical fire.
But you're right that music is good, too much info even from good sources can be overwhelming, and sometimes it's good to turn off all media / information.
But there's a real difference between the if it bleeds it leads stuff that pretends to be "news", and good people sharing credible information honestly. As you know, because you read Jessica Rose.
> Rail accidents are far more common that people realize.
They shouldn't be! Especially the case when carrying toxic cargo. No doubt we can do better and should. Would it cost more? Not really. That is if it comes out of the profits rather than gouging the citizen.
A big issue is where the lines run. When the railroads were first built, towns and cities grew up along the rail lines. Many of those towns are no longer served by rail, and yet the lines still run through them, often at high speed. The solution is to relocate the rail lines. Much easier than relocating the towns.
While that maybe true (relocating rail lines) California can't even purchase r/w for high speed rail between La and Sf. To expensive. Go figure.
I know one thing there is no way air travel (calorie wise) could compete with high speed rail. Most folks would prefer rail to a cavity search (sarcasm again)
Take a look at the twitter comments from "The Christpilled Libertarian".
He is a railroad conductor and says:
"The tanks are probably storage, because that's a service that many shortlines offer with spare track they don't use. This is especially true during economic slowdowns like right now."
During the 2007-10 recession I saw long lines of RR cars lined up on side tracks in the Mojave Desert and elsewhere. That said, with the recent Ohioexperience it definitely pays to be observant, cautious, and suspicious as these ranchers evidently are.
Hi Jessica. I suggest being very cautious to not fall into the base rate fallacy. In other words, be cautious until you know the base rates (amount of nasty chemicals transported by rail in the USA, frequency of disasters and near misses, etc.).
Infrastructure in general in the USA and the Western world is in decline (lack of investment in new infrastructure, lack of maintenance of existing infrastructure). This no doubt includes rolling stock. That does not mean there is a "conspiracy".
Not a comment on this article, but just listened to your interview on TNT radio. You talked a lot about healthy food and ecosystems and I thought that you might be interested in "permaculture" if you are not already aware of it. It is about working with nature to provide for human needs. The foremost practitioner/teacher is Geoff Lawton (GeoffLawton.com), who is also a surfer.
Thanks for pointing out the importance of lenses of perception and scalable regenerative food production systems like Permaculture design.
I wrote an article that elaborates on the challenges we face and how permaculture design (and in particular food forest systems or 'forest gardening) provides viable solutions to many of the challenges we face now.
You can read the full article through the link below if you are interested.
Gavin - good article. I'm a member of a local permaculture group here in NW CT and sadly most of the members are fully on board the narrative, I've become something of an outsider in the group. As you point out local food systems are an important part of being free from the parasites, which is something Jessica talked about in the TNT interview.
Thanks Bob. I can relate, a good portion of my permaculture and soil science peers in the classes I took bought into the propaganda narratives. Some of them had pre-ordered my book through a crowd funding campaign on kickstarter and demanded a refund out of the blue telling me I was an "irresponsible citizen" for not being willing to receive an mRNA or viral vector injection. Oh well, nothing we can do for people like that who are apparently suffering from some kind of 'quasi-Stockholm Syndrome' with regards to their relationship to government (and their corporate bosses).
Do you have plans for expanding your garden this year? I have an abundance of rare heirloom seed varieties in my collection right now (I scaled up my seed production exponentially last year so that I could send out heirloom seeds with each hardcopy of my upcoming book but I have way too many) so I would be happy to try and send you some if you would like to add some genetic diversity and fun heirloom veggie, herb and berry varieties to your garden(s).
My book is in the final stages of formatting and editing before the ebook will be published (and then soon after it will go off to the presses for hard copies to get printed). If you subscribe to my substack newsletter I will be posting an announcement once it is published (though watch out for my emails ending up in the junk box/spam folder if you do subscribe as I have noticed that I am being targeted by various censorship algorithms on certain email servers recently).
God was so good to give me the parents He did who were conservationists at heart & wonderful gardeners living in a small rural community. My mom was a wonderful cook & she & Dad never let anything go to waste. After moving away & living in a suburb near a big city, I lost “ground” in this arena & am coming back to it since my hubbs & I have moved back out to a more rural location & started a garden.
You are truly a wealth & abundance of good, wholesome knowledge & I read your article with joy! My heart & mind are happy - My folks would have applauded so many of your ideas.
Thank you!
Not sure how I would go about receiving the seeds from you - but, perhaps by being a paid subscriber I can communicate that with you.
You know they’re desperate when they’ve resorted to chemical warfare against civilians. They’re getting brazen. They’re getting reckless. This is how serial murderers get caught.
I remember when they said Sadam Hussein was going to use chemical weapons so there had to be a war.
Yes, the irony is not lost on me.
But...and this is important...who are "they"?
I agree, that is an important question. Everyone and every entity I identified in this piece, for starters:
• “Mistakes Were NOT Made: An Anthem for Justice” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/mistakes-were-not-made-an-anthem)
Plus every person named in Katherine Watt’s mic-drop list:
• “War criminals” (https://bailiwicknews.substack.com/p/war-criminals)
And a handful of others whose identities we will likely never know.
Your article is good, but is a description of the process. Who "they" are needs to be specified. Perhaps that defines a great deal of present circumstances, which is that our system grants powerful people invisibility, which is an almost godlike power.
Thank you, Mathew, and yes, that’s why I included Katherine’s list of war criminals. I tend to focus more on patterns and mechanisms while she identities specific culprits.
And yes, the Kunlangeta do seem to have achieved the power of invisibility, which is only possible because the colluders (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-a-colluder-stop-enabling) cloak them. If we can get the colluders to realize they are next in the cross-hairs and need to join us before they are disposed of, we might have a chance of unmasking the invisible ones.
I don’t know if you’ve connected with Josh Ketry of The Rationalist, but I know he has been working on a transparency and decentralization movement that seems up your alley.
I have read Josh some, thanks.
Do you think that a deep dive into the Panama Papers would reveal enough of "them", or are the real financial powers concealed another layer down?
There is also a bureaucratic power elite, exemplified by Anthony Fauci, to consider, although he is a bit too visible. Maurice Strong and Mark Carney from Canada are some of the visible players but, like Klaus Schwab, are likely in the second or third tier .
I’m sure there are always layers deeper and deeper down, but each dive reveals more clues.
I covered Maurice Strong’s insidious tutelage in my “Letter to Klaus Schwab” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-klaus-schwab).
If we could start squeezing the front men like Gates, Schwab, a Rothschild or two, we could work our way up the ladder to get those names. Larry Romanoff wrote a pretty good article published on The Unz Review called The Richest Man Alive in which he pointed to a lot of the extremely wealthy families of the world, the sources of their wealth, its present value after compounded interest and how most of these families are not household names. They don’t need to remain hidden. They are not opposing this operation. They must be, at the very least, complicit, but more likely are the instigators.
Governments --> Departments of Defense --> Bankers --> Satan.
a handful of extremely rich stinkers. Getty, gates, kissinger, carnegie, rockefeller and a few more. they want their own earth all for themselves but for a few slaves to do their work https://expose-news.com/2023/02/21/faces-of-bilderbergers-who-controlled-covid-response/ here are another few. and wef of course. most belong to both
The majority shareholders of Blackrock, vanguard and statestreet. Basically the 13 Illuminati families of this world. They are worshippers of Satan.
Who has to ask about another person's unidentified pronoun? I guess those of us who can't read minds.
they are losing the narrative and lashing out

You're not really catching them are you, though?
They're roaming free killing you with poison shots and poisoning the land whilst you gawk at them, point fingers and yell CAUGHT YOU!
You haven't caught them. They're not caught until they're behind bars or given the death penalty and executed.

Agreed. With regards to mitigating / healing the damage done by the Ohio chemical dump/burn I put together some intel and actionable solutions for foods and natural compounds that help detox Dioxin from the human body and methods for soil Bioremediation. I gathered the info into this article:

Connect the dots... SOROS is massively invested in American RAILROADS that haul OIL. BIDEN shuts down American OIL PIPELINES. Wake up, America!
outside of hedge funds, probably Brookshire Hathaway owns more rail stock than anyone else; there are a couple of very large investors in pipelines, again outside the hedge funds
The chemical warfare started with the covid virus and the bioweapon shots.
🤔 caught by whom?
"The woman in this video says there are hundreds of cars and that the say liquid odorless petroleum gas on the cars that are sitting really low on their axles. She also said that the locals said that the train’s presence is unprecedented. Locals know. That does imply that they are full."
This woman clearly knows nothing about railway equipment. There's no way to tell from just looking at a rail car whether it's loaded or not. She also wonders who owns them, but hasn't noticed the reporting marks that tell you who the owners are. You only have look them up.
https://www.railserve.com/aar_railroad_reporting_marks.html
You don't even need the chart, just punch the reporting marks into a search engine.
For example: SHPX: https://www.abbreviations.com/SHPX
You can track individual rail cars using the reporting marks to find out where they are, where they originated, what their cargo is, and who the consignee is. I'm sure if you ran those numbers you'd find they're empty in storage because there's a surplus of tank cars right now, and when that happens they are often stored on unused sidings on secondary lines. No way are those cars loaded, given the remote location. Tank cars are all privately owned these days so you couldn't insure them or their cargo under those conditions. Insurers would demand a more secure location.
If they're in 'odorless' service that means they haul from the wellhead to the refinery, where SH2 is added for safety. That's the rotten egg smell you get from gas products which are odourless and heavier than air, so the smell is added for safety reasons to detect any leaks.
https://energyeducation.ca/encyclopedia/Mercaptan
A few minutes on the web could have answered all her questions, or she could have just phoned the railroad and asked about it. Instead she gets alarmed based on an emotional response to a recent serious event and broadcasts that on the web, where it gets picked up and rebroadcast by others, without anyone looking into it any further than she did.
This is what happens when you combine fear and ignorance in a mass media environment. It distracts attention, plus it interferes with serious investigative work by making us all look like idiots.
Stay focused people. If something is outside your area of expertise, don't rebroadcast it, ask someone who knows, or look into it yourself. There's far too much at stake right now to be distracted by this sort of thing.
I was wondering along these lines. If you’re correct, and what you write seems valid, you are making excellent points. I hope Jessica sees this comment. I agree that it’s left hanging by this woman’s video, and it’s extremely frustrating that there is no sense of “we’re getting to the bottom of it”. I wrote this in my first comment here, after watching. I grew up in California, and I understand what she means about being in the middle of nowhere, so it certainly worries me a little but like you say, should be followed up and researched a little. Keep in mind, not everyone knows about trains and people make assumptions to try to get a hypothesis. It needs to be examined and followed up to contain it, if you’re right. And I hope you are. Also keep in mind that we are in a war of a different kind, and people who have seen the corruption are nervous. I agree we need to keep our emotions in check. Thanks for your post.
Also California actually regulates their railways. They have to or they would be spilling over from earthquakes all the time. So far as I’ve seen we’re not prone to manmade disasters, only natural disasters. Even L.A. isn’t as smoggy as it used to be. Maybe that’s why we’re so obsessed with climate change over everyday pollution issues
You make a good point here, but there have been so many chemical incidents lately. ( https://merylnass.substack.com/p/chemical-plants-everywhere-have-caught )
Perhaps farmers, ranchers, would not know how to decipher a railroad, but they would know if they're seeing something they have not seen before.
I was never one to assume any nefarious activity beyond profit seeking, and capturing regulators to make profits unhindered. Thankfully that was enough to make me not trust the shots. I thought everyone warning about depopulation ranged from too speculative to clinically paranoid. But seeing all that has happened ...
Still, I don't want to be sharing baseless info and scaring people. Also don't want to be ignoring something that needs attention ...
??
We have to distinguish between what the media reports (or sensationalizes) and what's really happening. As another poster pointed out, derailments are a common occurrence, as are hazardous spills unfortunately. Something that needs attention no doubt, but how does this relate to vaccine injury and government overreach is the question I'm asking. We have to set clear priorities and stay focused, otherwise we're just spinning our wheels.
A relation would be intentional poison (if the railroad was notified there was a track problem, and said to keep going. . . people with relevant expertise are saying there could have been another option besides lighting it on fire, or having it explode.)
A relation would be poisoning our ability to function on our own as far as farmland / food, or a functional immune system in the case of pharma.
These things are all stretches, I admit. I dont know if this is actually an intentional agenda, it may just be that drug companies want to make money, people are brainwashed to think of vaccines as The Saviour, and it may be that rail infrastructure is crumbling because companies are financially greedy and workers are shortstaffed and tired (and sick).
There may be nothing at all beyond that (that's bad enough). I don't know.
But with everything that's happened, and with it being so clear now that they knew how poisonous, even to future generations, these injections were ...
There are connections.
And confusion.
I don't want to jump to any conclusions. But also don't want to ignore warnings, as I once did when I thought things deeper than profit motive were all speculation ...
I'm no expert, I nearly bombed out in organic chemistry. But chemistry is the only true science and whatever the truth is, the tankers should or shouldn't have been ignited, should be a clear cut case. Why we can't even get the opinion of someone who knows, based purely on the clarity of their explanation, is beyond me.
I think we're being Psy-Oped. Ever since Jordon Walker our side has lost their minds. I think too many on our side are conspiracy theorists with appalling reasoning skills who were correct about Covid just because it was so obvious. Now TPTB have taken back control and we sound like Alex Jones on a bender.
Forget about Trump and the US government tasking the DoD with carrying out Covid. Now we're running around pulling our hair out over multiple distracting issues. "Pfizer did it, we got this guy that sounds like he never studied biology and James O'Keefe caught him. And Sy Hersh has proven the CIA are the good guys, the Biden administration is full of clear thinking genius level strategists and tacticians, and it was all Joe Biden's fault. Don't ask about the 17 hour gap. The long awaited alien invasion is happening and they snuck in using interstellar weather balloons".
Can't dioxin or any of this other stuff be measured? You'd think we were living in the middle ages. Can't Tucker Carlson afford to get the opinion of an expert?
Which doesn't mean I think the overall situation is benign. I think it's worse then people realize. I used to think only some of the news was a lie but now I think almost everything is made up. I think we should be focusing on the very edges of what's known.
I have no idea what's hidden but here's an idea. First we were told it came from a wet market then after over a year of resistance we're supposed to believe it was an accident from a foreign commie lab. The best theory with the fewest holes is that each variant was made by the US military and released on purpose. But what if the real truth is completely unknown? What if the appearance of a clown show is just theater and TPTB are actually way smarter then us?
I don't know. I'm speculating. But recently I found out that almost everyone we thought was on our side or a good guy are actually part of an operation. Even wikileaks, perhaps with the exception only of Assange, is part of a PsyOp. Glenn Greenwald and Edward Snowden are con artists. Vault 7 was fake. Glenn Greenwald is pushing the Sy Hersh story which ought to be a clue. Even Oliver Stone is suspect. His son Sean Stone runs a cult (it sounds like the "Sexy" kind) and is friends with Sacha Stone who also runs a cult. Sacha Stone works for an occult wing of the UN and this organisation enjoys RFK Jr and Dr. Judy Mikovits as members. RFK Jr recently released a photo of him hiking with O'Keefe.
The long time conspiracy theorists I know have always said "if they're a good guy how come they're allowed to have a platform". What if everything we know is a lie? I don't mean that the deathvaxx is actually safe as milk. I mean the underlying reasons and causes.
Well put Ellen!
This should be the pinned comment. This comment is 100% correct.
Not holding my breath. Not the first time either.
Thanks for the excellent comment. Too many on the antinarrative side are running off hysterical at the first excuse. Our side doesn't have to believe in or repeat nonsense. If we were nothing but clear thinkers we'd still be 100% correct.
I agree with your observation.
I haven't watched the video because I have watched the railroad for since childhood and asked many questions (Southern Pacific the Southern most likely in Norfolk Southern) { Southern merged with Norfolk & Western Railway on June 1, 1982, to form the Norfolk Southern Railway, a component of Norfolk Southern Corp. Construction began from Savannah as Central Rail Road & Banking Company of Georgia in December 1835. Controlled by Illinois Central 1909-48, and by Frisco 1956-61. https://www.trains.com/trn/railroads/history/norfolk-southern-merger-family-tree/}, and felt a need to dig deeper.
What makes you believe the SHPX list you reference is accurate? I mean, given what seems to be going on, your trust of an online list of rail cars and contents seems foolish as well.
SHPX is just the reporting mark for one company. Look at this photo. What do you see?
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cc/2023_Ohio_train_derailment.jpg/800px-2023_Ohio_train_derailment.jpg
Here's who owns the car that you see the reporting mark SHPX on, and probably the rest of them as well.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Car_and_Foundry_Company
And here's the reference manual used by railroads to identify rail cars.
https://public.railinc.com/sites/default/files/documents/GuideforRailroads.pdf
And now, because you implied that I'm being foolish for trusting an industry standard ID system that's been in use for over 100 years, I'll ask you politely, what exactly is the basis for your mistrust of the information I'm sharing? Do you have information that contradicts what I've said, or are you just being obtuse?
Looking a bit closer at the photo I see that one of the cars is owned by Dow Chemical Co. (DOWX) and another by the Union Tank Car Company (UTLX).
When the Public Citizen of the United States of America can physically investigate the data on the ground, then I will have more confidence.
Think Erin Brockovich. Today most of those avenues have been shuttered. If the government/Industry is involved in documenting ownership, why trust them? Neither have a track record of honesty.
Why should those who own the rail cars not be liable for the damage they cause?
PS I liked your point about the tree falling on the car behind the passenger compartment. It led to your question "what are these distraction (balloons, railroad derailments etc.) really hiding?
I don't think this was anything more than it appears to be - a serious rail accident caused by equipment failure and/or improper response to an emergency situation. Same goes for those stored tank cars. Nothing burger.
The fact that people are reading more into it simply speaks to the times we live in, and the media environment we're immersed in.
"Why should those who own the rail cars not be liable for the damage they cause?"
Who said they shouldn't? I just identified the owner of at least one of them, probably all of them since they move in blocks, and look what thanks I got. Shoot the messenger, and zero response from the person who thinks stored rail cars pose some kind of imminent threat.
> "Why should those who own the rail cars not be liable for the damage they cause?"
Who said they shouldn't?
____________
I didn't mean to imply you did. So far it looks to me like East Palestine derailment will not be adequately paid for by the companies that profit from the use of the RxR. Rather as the government gets involved FEMA will pick up the bill and fail to do even a mediocre job.
We has a pollution problem by a Gold mining company in the 1980s -1990s. The company skated and the county got stuck with the polluted land. Now most folks in the area have forgotten the costly incident to local taxpayers. The county has land that the public who pay for it's maintenance are not allowed to use. So this is one of many incidents I know of that shaft the tax payer and those who profit escape with their profits.
yeah I am seriously frustrate as I find no way to do much about this nonsense.
Agreed. I'm old enough to remember the Love Canal disaster and how long it took to get any restitution.
https://www.britannica.com/explore/savingearth/love-canal
Thank you ebear,
I do share your view.
I differ because I have been pissed about the pollution of our bio sphere/Gaia since I graduated from High school in the 1960s. Ground water is a big concern. Historically you weren't allowed to foul water. Against the law. But it took a long time to figure out that industrial activity was fouling the ground water where ever manufacturing takes place.
As rural as my brother is in the Foothills of California and a long ways from any mining activity, his well water still has glyphosate at the ppb level. We feel that is not our problem. That those who manufacture glyphosate should pay the freight and make the ground water pristine again.
Ahhh but that is to expensive. No it is not, just build the cost of maintaining purity of ground water and preventing or paying for cancer (treatment) and so many other problems into the price the person pays at the checkout counter.
Ahhhh but then nobody would by the product. TRUE as it should be.
ebear I think I sense your heart through the posts. You have a deep and caring heart. I admife that. I on the other hand care deeply too. But I am so pissed. I do what I can, feels a lot like spitting/pissing into the wind.
I agree with ebear's position. Your position Jacquelyn cuts to the heart of the matter. Anytime the citizens of the country what to know the roots of the matter and ask via FOIA they get redacted reports.
Redacted reports are a result of deep corporate and government collaboration that enables fraud. Your question needs to be answered and verified.
Thank you for asking!
Riding low on the axles. Sure sign of cluelessness
This event should be taken as suspicious. However, it is important to figure out who could be behind it. And if we cannot---if there is no chain of command in government that would allow for transparency---then we should recognize what that means.
Part of cognitive warfare is the problem of group emotions being manipulated and then aimed. What if we don't know where to aim them? What if some people are misled to fire off their anger at the wrong target?
Also, is this a moment when too few people are speaking to believe this could happen with people being compromised? Compromised...how?
They are well marked, out in the open and train manifests will show this is just a staging area for cars on a track waiting for their next destination.
My brother, the train buff, indicates that with the lovely economy we've been having, fewer rail cars are in use at any given time, and thus more equipment is left sitting on sidings until needed.
Contaminating all of our food growing areas would mean that we would have to rely on other countries for food. Ukraine used to be the breadbasket of Europe/the Soviet Union but Chernobyl significantly reduced that. That could have contributed to the fall of the U.S.S.R. Perhaps we would have to rely on RUSSIA for food? I mean I hate to blame Russia for everything but if all these GOP people such as the governor who ordered it to be burnt are really working for Putin then isn’t this the kind of thing Putin would want them to do?
Do you mean ‘without being compromised’? Then I understand....
Perhaps there are multiple ways for me to rephrase---I think people must be compromised. And we should think through how that would happen. It would fantastic to ever get ahold of one compromised person to explain the project. Is it global, Epstein level operative converage? M.I.C.E.
I don’t understand that last question...
It’s happening everywhere and it’s really concerning: a fire at a chemical plant in Holland, another fire in Verona (Italy) … ten chemical spills/fires in one week.
That’s a lot of coincidences!
Are you sure that these aren’t common occurrences and that you’re just noticing them more?
The Ohio disaster was particularly noteworthy due to its size and the coincidence of the timing and its location with the movie “White Noise”. Oh and right before the accident that location was picked to test some heart rate/breathing monitoring gadget on them.
But like a couple hundred such incidents happen in the US alone every year, even more now due to deregulations. Worldwide it could be brain fog from COVID/mRNA injections contributing to more accidents being caused. Quotidian chemical spills could explain the variation in dioxin levels in the same brand of food product over time.
Train derailments happen frequently. They are not rare. The problem with the Ohio disaster was not the train accident, but the purposeful ignition of the chemicals. Accidents happen, but decisions were purposely made to explode the chemicals. That is where the fault lies - who made that decision and why.
Indeed, only in the movie the fire happened on accident due to a truck full of flammable liquid crashing into the train loaded with toxic waste left over from pesticide production. They could have just let the tank leak instead... or explode and burn even more... but there were other options besides burning it. I have to wonder how competent these people are if they really think that burning vinyl chloride is only going to produce phosgene and hydrochloric acid which, while nasty, decompose fairly quickly. It’s stated pretty plainly on Wikipedia that burning vinyl chloride produces dioxins. Sure the yield from a tank that size will probably only be a few grams, but dioxins are toxic at sub-microgram doses so that’s still enough to poison millions of people. Never mind that they loaded the tank up so big, I’m assuming they calculated that even the significant chance that an accident would happen and bring it all to waste would be worth the couple of bucks they saved by not splitting it into smaller tanks to be transported separately. Surely at some point the infrastructure would become so bad that it would actually be more cost-effective to pay a couple Mexicans under the table to fix those tracks up a bit than to let it derail and spill, explode or burn every goddamn time they ship out a tank of flammable shit? They’ve got to be either stupid or criminally negligent, or even murderous. I think stupid because even a genocidal maniac or a cutthroat capitalist, if they have any brains, would think twice about going so far with mass murder or cost cutting as to poison the breadbasket of their own country for generations to come, unless they’re a foreign agent and that’s exactly what they want to do. So maybe there are actual Russian agents involved somewhere?
Tires. Billions of them. Synthetic rubber molecules worn off as dust all along the nation's highways and city streets, entering the environment and thus the food chain.
Tires are made from a dozen different types of synthetic rubber, some of which are believed to mimic molecules that regulate biological processes, others which are known carcinogens. for example: https://www.osha.gov/butadiene/health-effects
It's the little things that get us, not the big stuff.
I thought they were made with vulcanized rubber? That’s just regular rubber bonded together with disulfide bonds? Maybe a synthetic rubber too but so long as it doesn’t have chlorine or fluorine in the chemical structure it shouldn’t be too toxic to burn, would be like burning hair...
Look there is a long history into why we don't have public rail transportation. Which in general would be much less harmful to the environment. It is certainly the case that electric rail ( rather than EVs like Tesla) are very efficient and minimize pollution mentioned above.
"One of the grand parts of American mythology revolves around what is called “America’s Love Affair With the Automobile”, presented as an exciting if a bit quirky personal expression of independent and freedom-loving America, where inexpensive mass transportation failed to evolve due to Americans’ individuality and desire for freedom. But this historical narrative is wrong. Today’s US ‘car culture’ was the result of a massive conspiracy contrived by the auto and oil oligarchs and, like the consumer society, imposed on an unsuspecting nation through deceit and propaganda. Most of the truth has been deleted from the historical record and replaced with a ‘feel-good’ fairytale. After trashing the mass transit systems, the automakers led by GM produced a wide array of mythical narratives to justify and praise the transportation system they had created."
From Larry Romanoff - Page down to get to the actual essay with footnotes: https://www.bluemoonofshanghai.com/politics/7243/
Yeah I view a car as a ball and chain rather than freedom. You have to pay for insurance and a driver’s license and gas... and you have to learn how to drive which I never learned how to do because I think I’m too autistic to understand road rules consistently and too ADHD to pay enough attention. When I was seven and I drove a Barbie car into a ditch I knew I was never going to get the hang of driving. I never even learned to ride a bike - my sister had a bike with training wheels but the training wheels were defective and one of them would turn over whenever we tried to ride it. So I just walk and take the bus and trolley everywhere. It’s good exercise. I get a free bus pass for being disabled. It takes a long time but it’s free and my mind is left free to do other things during the ride (must keep alert enough not to miss my stop though!) A bus ticket to L.A. from San Diego is $20 if you buy it early, $40 if you buy it last-minute.
People in America travelled by rail right up until the Interstate System was built, which was a response to transportation bottlenecks that occurred during WWII. Once that was in place, interstate trucking began to compete with the railroads, as did bus companies who had faster more direct connections, including to places not served by rail. Passenger travel by rail finally died as a result of commercial air travel and long distance travel by car, as auto designs improved in safety and comfort, and motels and gas stations sprang up to service their travel needs.
You don't need a conspiracy theory to explain it, the free market principle is good enough. Ford and GM want to sell you cars. It's what they do. If you have a need or desire, then you'll buy one, and if enough people do that entire industries will appear to service those needs. This is just the story of American ingenuity driven by the profit motive directed by people's needs and wants. If that wasn't true, then people wouldn't buy their cars, washing machines, toasters, TVs, radios and so on.
Of course I may be wrong. Washing machines may have been a communist conspiracy to free up women's time so they could attend protests to demand suffrage, knowing they'd vote for socialism because women are social creatures. I'm sure if I packaged that theory correctly some people would believe it.
> You don't need a conspiracy theory to explain it, the free market principle is good enough. Ford and GM want to sell you cars. It's what they do. If you have a need or desire, then you'll buy one, and if enough people do that entire industries will appear to service those needs.
From your response I guess you at least scanned the link. Question: who built the highways; public or private?
While you imply strongly that what I point out is a conspiracy theory, I actually first encountered this idea in CoEvolution Quarterly in the early 1970s and it was well documented. Honestly I had to read it many times and look up references before I began to accept the premise. Note the Railroads own the rails, but the public own the highways. And I can tell you that highways don't get much respect even in California.
Without public funding of highways all roads would be toll roads. Most folks could not afford the toll.
> If that wasn't true, then people wouldn't buy their cars, washing machines, toasters, TVs, radios and so on.
Actually not true across the board. Those monster communist Amish reject most of the nonsense items you mention above. The also don't need public health care etc. There health is much better than the average US citizen. But being communist (sarcasm for sure. It seemed to me you were sarcastic as well), why would anyone respect the Amish.
And we see how well the profit motive has served public health with the rollout of SarsCov2 gene therapy injectables. Sorry the profit motive is a very low bar and if that is all that is working I don't trust it at all.
Butadiene or other monomers (building blocks) are very low in concentration in finished polymers (like synthetic rubber) so they seem unlikely candidates.
That's not to say that widespread contamination is irrelevant (see leaded gasoline).
The direct risk to humans is only one concern. The food chain, starting from micro-biota through insects, birds, mammals etc. is the bigger issue. There's a lot of variables here. Hard to isolate them. The reason I mentioned tires is because it's an almost intractable problem, unless we all stop driving cars. What doesn't degrade accumulates somewhere, and tires are built to resist degradation.
Where is Bidens Emergency Eco-terrorism Taskforce? Does Ohio need to declare itself a Ukrainian province to get aid?
High winds tonight, and as usual, the power went out. So we hoped in the car and headed for Timmy's where the lights are always on because it's near the hospital.
On the way there we were stopped by an accident. What happened is a car got hit by a falling tree. Demolished everything aft of the rear window. Driver's area unscathed. So I asked myself (and my wife) how often does a tree fall on you while driving AND you walk away unscathed? What are the odds?
So putting on my magical thinking cap I decided it was telling me to pay attention to the outliers - those rare events that go unnoticed while we're distracted by things like balloons and rail accidents, which themselves are not so rare.
When you're sitting up at 2am in the morning looking at the string of recent train derailments and notice a post by one of your substack faves:
GET OUT OF MY MIND 😆 🤣 😂 JK 😜
While you're in there, my mind that is, can you visit what happened a decade ago with investigations into SSRIs having a calming effect on specific autoimmune conditions? I'd had some thoughts about a possibility of SSRIS making IgG4 RD less visible..... it's a little bit of a stretch that needs some finer details ironed out to see if it is even plausible.
It’s difficult to get too excited about train cars sitting on tracks in the middle of nowhere. Where do you “park” trains not in use? Also, having grown up in CA I know if nuts/walnuts are targeted, Stanislaus is hardly the county to hit. Most of the nut production is in the northern portion of the state. As for contamination of water, there are easier and more discrete ways, a train derailment most likely isn’t the quickest or most thorough. I think what we have here is ignited fear keeping people busy and or distracted.
Ok, I have to say, if it was “the talk of the valley” I certainly hope they are making FORMAL INQUIRIES and taking action to get RID OF THE TRAINS. I think those ranchers are being excellently observant, and bringing folks together to see it from external to the valley VERY IMPT. It’s a big frustrating to see it stop there... Let’s hope it’s not? Thank you Jessica for sharing this and keeping a bit chute channel.
No trains eh?
Who will haul the toxic waste then? Perhaps it isn't the trains just the way the railways are managed. Maximize profit minimize cost and when there are rail accidents. Paint over the public perception and make it soothing to the mind.
Nevertheless as long was we use toxins (check your life style. What are you willing to live with out.) we will have spills. But all toxins should be handeled with the same respect as we have for radio active waste.
A great question to ask is how many accidents with radio active waste are reported to the public or easily identified in the public data base. I am sure they happen. Just never hear about them because, well "nothing to see here"
I was wondering why we need a Food Security Agency here in the UK. There is my answer... PEOPLE WAKE UP!!! No almonds means no marzipan, we have to get this sorted!
holy s*t. And apparently a Union Pacific train derailed in Stanislaus today? But I don't see anything with that and "chemical" (yet).
Allow me to explain how this works. There was a recent serious train wreck. It got a lot of attention, so any train wreck anywhere for a period of time will make the news because that's what sells right now. Eventually something else will take its place as the "thing to worry about" and train wrecks will be forgotten. Have we forgotten about balloons yet? Almost, right?
Rail accidents are far more common that people realize. You don't hear about them because they're usually in remote areas and the cargo isn't hazardous, just a pain to clean up. Only Railroads and their insurers get upset about it. No one else cares, so it doesn't make the news.
If it bleeds it leads. That's the way it works, and the more fear, revulsion or pathos it invokes the more breakfast cereal, detergent or pharmaceuticals it sells. Just turn it off. Play some music instead. Otherwise you just get burned out and feeling helpless, which is exactly what "they" want.
I looked it up at NTSB. There are about 1000 train accidents a year. Most are derailments.
That's three a DAY, people.
I realize rail accidents are common, but what's happening now is another level. I'm not (and probably no one here is), glued to CNN to hear whatever they want to say. I get so many substacks in my inbox, I use that as a search engine to see what real, good people are saying, without an agenda to sell cereal or drugs.
I'm in the wind / rain path of the Ohio disaster, although ~400 miles away. Trying not to over or under react, and profoundly grateful for substackers who are doing the best they can to figure out what's going on, and also natural ways to help the body deal with these toxins.
And the only time I spent on the LOOK ITS A BALLOON! #Current Thing was listening to Chris Martenson talk about how the balloon thing is a distraction from real shit, like this chemical fire.
But you're right that music is good, too much info even from good sources can be overwhelming, and sometimes it's good to turn off all media / information.
But there's a real difference between the if it bleeds it leads stuff that pretends to be "news", and good people sharing credible information honestly. As you know, because you read Jessica Rose.
> Rail accidents are far more common that people realize.
They shouldn't be! Especially the case when carrying toxic cargo. No doubt we can do better and should. Would it cost more? Not really. That is if it comes out of the profits rather than gouging the citizen.
A big issue is where the lines run. When the railroads were first built, towns and cities grew up along the rail lines. Many of those towns are no longer served by rail, and yet the lines still run through them, often at high speed. The solution is to relocate the rail lines. Much easier than relocating the towns.
While that maybe true (relocating rail lines) California can't even purchase r/w for high speed rail between La and Sf. To expensive. Go figure.
I know one thing there is no way air travel (calorie wise) could compete with high speed rail. Most folks would prefer rail to a cavity search (sarcasm again)
Take a look at the twitter comments from "The Christpilled Libertarian".
He is a railroad conductor and says:
"The tanks are probably storage, because that's a service that many shortlines offer with spare track they don't use. This is especially true during economic slowdowns like right now."

During the 2007-10 recession I saw long lines of RR cars lined up on side tracks in the Mojave Desert and elsewhere. That said, with the recent Ohioexperience it definitely pays to be observant, cautious, and suspicious as these ranchers evidently are.
Hi Jessica. I suggest being very cautious to not fall into the base rate fallacy. In other words, be cautious until you know the base rates (amount of nasty chemicals transported by rail in the USA, frequency of disasters and near misses, etc.).
Infrastructure in general in the USA and the Western world is in decline (lack of investment in new infrastructure, lack of maintenance of existing infrastructure). This no doubt includes rolling stock. That does not mean there is a "conspiracy".
Hope that helps.
Where is Bidens Emergency Eco-terrorism Taskforce? Does Ohio need to declare itself a Ukrainian province to get aid?
He doesn’t want to get poisoned. Only reason why he’s visiting Ukraine instead is because their Chernobyl happened 37 years ago.
It's telling where Xiden ended up on Presidents Day. It should be renamed Fascists Day.
Nothing is by accident. Nothing is coincidence. EVERYTHING is planned.

Hi Jess,
Not a comment on this article, but just listened to your interview on TNT radio. You talked a lot about healthy food and ecosystems and I thought that you might be interested in "permaculture" if you are not already aware of it. It is about working with nature to provide for human needs. The foremost practitioner/teacher is Geoff Lawton (GeoffLawton.com), who is also a surfer.
Thanks for all that you are doing!
Bob
Thanks for pointing out the importance of lenses of perception and scalable regenerative food production systems like Permaculture design.
I wrote an article that elaborates on the challenges we face and how permaculture design (and in particular food forest systems or 'forest gardening) provides viable solutions to many of the challenges we face now.
You can read the full article through the link below if you are interested.

Gavin - good article. I'm a member of a local permaculture group here in NW CT and sadly most of the members are fully on board the narrative, I've become something of an outsider in the group. As you point out local food systems are an important part of being free from the parasites, which is something Jessica talked about in the TNT interview.
Thanks Bob. I can relate, a good portion of my permaculture and soil science peers in the classes I took bought into the propaganda narratives. Some of them had pre-ordered my book through a crowd funding campaign on kickstarter and demanded a refund out of the blue telling me I was an "irresponsible citizen" for not being willing to receive an mRNA or viral vector injection. Oh well, nothing we can do for people like that who are apparently suffering from some kind of 'quasi-Stockholm Syndrome' with regards to their relationship to government (and their corporate bosses).
Do you have plans for expanding your garden this year? I have an abundance of rare heirloom seed varieties in my collection right now (I scaled up my seed production exponentially last year so that I could send out heirloom seeds with each hardcopy of my upcoming book but I have way too many) so I would be happy to try and send you some if you would like to add some genetic diversity and fun heirloom veggie, herb and berry varieties to your garden(s).
I would love to buy some of your seeds & book - am assuming I can thru the Substack here?
Greetings San :)
My book is in the final stages of formatting and editing before the ebook will be published (and then soon after it will go off to the presses for hard copies to get printed). If you subscribe to my substack newsletter I will be posting an announcement once it is published (though watch out for my emails ending up in the junk box/spam folder if you do subscribe as I have noticed that I am being targeted by various censorship algorithms on certain email servers recently).
You can also learn more about my book here: https://recipesforreciprocity.com/
With regards to seeds I have a special offer I am doing right now for those that sign up as a paid subscriber to my substack newsletter which I describe here https://gavinmounsey.substack.com/p/the-option-for-paid-subscriptions
Or if you like I can just send you some seeds as a gift (as it would make me happy to know they have a loving home).
Thanks for your interest in my book and thank you for caring about our Mother Earth enough to plant heirloom seeds in your garden :)
You are most gracious, Gavin.
I will check out being a paid subscriber.
God was so good to give me the parents He did who were conservationists at heart & wonderful gardeners living in a small rural community. My mom was a wonderful cook & she & Dad never let anything go to waste. After moving away & living in a suburb near a big city, I lost “ground” in this arena & am coming back to it since my hubbs & I have moved back out to a more rural location & started a garden.
You are truly a wealth & abundance of good, wholesome knowledge & I read your article with joy! My heart & mind are happy - My folks would have applauded so many of your ideas.
Thank you!
Not sure how I would go about receiving the seeds from you - but, perhaps by being a paid subscriber I can communicate that with you.
