Is this your first human sacrifice to Wall Street?
April/12/06 02:13 PM
The previous total of 2,752 people killed at the Twin
Towers on 9/11 has increased by one, a very special
one.
According to the AP article the death of a 34-year-old police detective after working at ground zero and is directly attributed to the clean up efforts after Sept. 11, 2001.
Is this person your first official sacrifice to Wall Street? if so it's very likely several thousand will follow in the next decade.
The Fix
You and the National Security Council edited the reports from EPA scientists before they went out to the public back then. Christine Todd Whitman, the EPA administrator at the time, told Newsweek that she did not object to the White House editing out cautionary notes from EPA scientists and said the public was not harmed by the White House decision to use reassurances about air quality right after the attack.
Right after the attacks, EPA Deputy Administrator Linda Fisher’s chief of staff e-mailed senior EPA officials to let everyone know that “all statements to the media should be cleared” first by the National Security Council where they were edited according to an EPA's inspector general’s report. The resulting reassuring report on the quality of the air, kept thousands of people working on the site.
The EPA said that after analyzing nearly 20,000 samples of air, dust, and water in lower Manhattan, Brooklyn, Staten Island, and New Jersey, the risk for long-term health effects is very low." An EPA inspector general's report also stated, "Whitman assured the public that the air was safe to breathe before tests were even taken on PCBs, soot and dioxin, and the results they did have were inconclusive."
The EPA issued five press releases within 10 days of the attacks and four more by the end of 2001 reassuring the public about air quality
The Reality
That truth is, the air those people were breathing, day after day and week after week, was extremely toxic. Everything that was in those towers had been vaporized. Some of the most toxic and carcinogenic substances known were inhaled with every breath. Dioxins, asbestos, and PCBs were 32 times the level of "hazardous waste." There was and maybe still is asbestos pulverized glass, mercury, cement, PCB's, and dioxins benzofurans, lead and radioactive Americium from smoke detectors as well.
The EPA with guidance from the White House, systematically misled New Yorkers about the risks the resulting air pollution posed to their health.
This MO (modus operandi) sounds very familiar.
A draft E.P.A. report released last December conceded that 9/11 had led to huge emissions of pollutants. Particularly, releases of carcinogens that can also damage the nervous system and cause birth defects. The levels were up to 1,500 times normal levels, the highest ambient concentrations ever reported.
I noticed you didn't stick around very long after your bullhorn photo op at ground zero.
But Why?
As I read all the reports about how you deceived the public about the toxicity of the air, I can't understand why you would knowingly send those people into danger like that. What could possibly be so important that you would sacrifice the health of thousands of people'? What was to be gained?
The only logical reason would be, to keep the New York and conversely the American economy from possibly faltering and quickly reopen New York and the New York Stock Exchange for business.
Another deadly Legacy
At least 22 men, who were in their 30s and 40s, and worked on the cleanup at ground zero also died with similar symptoms as Zadroga. They all breathed in the same toxic chemical stew you called safe.
Approximately 40,000 rescue workers are at serious risk, because they worked on the site, directly exposed to the toxic mixture of chemicals at very close range for long periods of time.
Zadroga spent 470 hours at Ground Zero. But, as these workers get sick and die, frustrated public officials will be unable to track their health. The clinics are swamped and can't treat all the patients that have come in exhibiting 'World Trade Center Cough.'
The Spin
You can use the same spin you used earlier, when the bodies start to pile up in New York; "EPA and administration officials have said their actions were based on national security and must be viewed in the perspective that the White House was dealing with an unprecedented terrorist attack."
Those hero's who risked their lives to look for survivors and bodies never had a chance, and you knew it. You kept the toxicity of the air a secret. It was all for the money wasn't it.
Money talks while heros are expendable.
