Thanks Kyle

There were cars on that train that burned which were not listed as hazardous but were, including a tanker of lubricating oil and four bin cars full of PVC pellets — neither of which was technically hazmat, but which are dangerous when burned, especially together, and especially in an environment where chlorine-based chemicals like vinyl chloride is off-gassing (as we were told it was, thus the distress call and claimed need to dump ad burn).

Meanwhile, the dioxin testing plan of EPA is a scam, on its face; I dismantle that here:

When Al gore initially started his global warming campaign, I knew it was a hoax because we didn’t go back to wax paper and glass bottles. This is terrifying, the Ohio disaster.

So many farms that are organic have been compromised & the Amish & Mennonite have been faithful neighbors when I lived in upstate New York .

That may be the bigger and longer term tragedy. I feel so bad for all of those farmers. I hope they can find some legal recourse.

My teacher has characterized Earth as an "almost" planet. Nothing is designed or built as big, as strong, or as safe as it really should be. We fly by the seat of our pants and hope for the best. Most of us have been tricked into thinking that we only live once. So, why bother?

Plastics have been one of many technologies that were a boon and a bane. Manmade chlorine (and fluorine) compounds have become ubiquitous. We got along for centuries with salt, but many of these new chemicals are - for all intents and purposes - seriously poisonous. I am used to PVC in its rigid form, used for piping and all sorts of panels. I was surprised to learn that it can also be used in its plasticized form in fabrics and things like "vinyl" gloves, even records.

Though disasters like this seem really bad, there may be effective mitigation methods. But on an "almost" planet, you cross your fingers instead of planning for the worst. We have produced millions of tons of toxic waste. We did not properly plan for the costs and methods associated with disposing of it safely, nor the costs of disposing of it unsafely.

There is also the possibility that some or many of these disasters are somehow "nudged" by sinister forces on or off Earth. I see this as mostly just another example of humans crossing their fingers rather than dealing with an anti-human influence that we have always known existed but have never been willing to confront.

While it is worthwhile to question our apparently unbreakable habit of whistling past the graveyard and propose saner approaches to life, the big challenge is to convince even a fraction of the people on Earth to mend their ways. Even though most people retain a sufficient level of functionality for life on Earth, the great majority are actually quite crazy and seriously inept. I would even include myself in this group. The ultimate solution will be a long and difficult process. We do need coping strategies to keep the planet going long enough to give us the time we need.

I have a friend who was instrumental in using microbes to cleanup the oil-spill from the Exxon Valdez. Talking with him leads me to believe that there might be a microorganism that can help mitigate this. To the best of my knowledge, so far, none have been found.

I believe certain types of mushrooms are also able to do this, however it may be a longer term strategy, and also use up a lot of topsoil:

Just to point out, while rayon is a manufactured fiber, it's made by extruding hemp cellulose that has been dissolved in hydrochloric acid, rather than being a typical plastic. It is technically a polymer but is much closer to natural fiber than petrochemical plastic fibers like nylon.

True, but petrochemicals are used in the process - carbon disulfide and N-methyl morpholine N-oxide.

Wow, the process has really degraded from the original I researched back in the 90s for college English.

I can't find the hydrochloric acid method anymore, but did locate another slightly more toxic but /much/ simpler variant which still doesn't use the more highly processed chemicals you mention:

The ‘cuprammonium process’ duplicated in this activity is one of the earliest methods used for producing rayon, but is less cost-effective now than some other more modern methods.

Chemicals

Basic copper carbonate (HARMFUL), 10 g

Concentrated 880 ammonia solution (CORROSIVE, DANGEROUS FOR THE ENVIRONMENT), 100 cm3

Sulfuric acid, about 1 M (IRRITANT), 500 cm3

Rayon can be made from wood pulp and bamboo pulp too. There are different methods for making the fiber, the lyocell process is apparently less toxic and more expensive than viscose method.

I'm a 100% natural fibre girl myself (and I buy everything second-hand or homemade), but I do make a small exception for rayon because I very much like the breathability, drape and lightweight feel...especially when it's triple digit heat 🥵 I have NO idea how folks can tolerate wearing sweaty static-y acrylic/polyester/nylon clothing.

I've actually started obtaining seeds to grow patches of different sized/colored bamboo for building materials (and once established to munch on the youngling shoots.)

Aside from using it as fibrous rebar in adobe, cob, or cement, it's good for arches and interlocked hoop dome frames, guttering, trellises, basket/hat weaving... And I have an idea to try out about planting it in a straight line to weave into privacy fence panels as it grows.

Also good for charcoal, and in a pinch, as a combustible fuel.

It really is nifty stuff.

The Germ Theory has deceived doctors, scientists, and the populace – all ignorant of viruses – and has been successfully used to create a lucrative business model of selling ‘vaccines’ to eradicate nonexistent disease causing viruses. Virologists say they (1) have isolated and identified the novel coronavirus and (2) have proven that it causes the disease named Covid. Both of these assertions are false. Doctors Cowan and Kaufman in the following article explain why virology and the Germ Theory are a fraud. They also respond to the Jan 2022 article by Dr. Mercola, an ardent defender of the Wuhan virus bioweapon theory.

I live in SW Ohio and I have been purchasing my food from the Amish for awhile. Their farms are located about 150 miles SW of East Palestine "as the crow flies." I know they have been given a hard time lately by the govt. and when this "accident" occurred in East Palestine, I was immediately suspicious. What compounded my suspicion were the many severe thunderstorms, areal flooding and heavy winds (some gale force) off and on since. The selection of foods from the Amish has dwindled in the past month and their crops have not been doing well.

Ok, I just couldn't get past the initial paragraphs dissing RFKjr and anyone else "stupid" enough to continue to believe in viruses, to paraphrase the comment.

Now let's consider, for a moment, the position of people like Dr. Zev Zelenko and frankly 100s of front line physicians who actually stepped up and saved lives during the past three years of the entire Covid Coup and Murder Operation.

When you ask them, "was there a virus?" Their resounding answer is "YES!"

Now I'm not saying there weren't toxins and 5G all other manner of nasties in action, but look at the funds spent manipulating Corona Viruses to infect humanized lung tissue in mice!

If "viruses don't exist, exactly what are they manipulating???

I've lost horses to Eastern Encephalitis and dogs to Parvo virus. My mother had cold sores, herpes simplex 1, and so do I.

Yes, shingles happens, as does mumps, measles, and chicken pox, all of which I had as a child.

When they vaccinated my daughter's classmates for chicken pox, I did not vaccinate her, and she caught it from those vaxxed kids because vaccines shed!

So please, do not tell me a bunch of arm chair theorists know more about reality than those living it. I had Sars-cov-2 and it had it's own symptomology, it's own disease progression, and it was completely unique. Ditto many many others. Fever, low blood oxygen, stunning head ache, sense of smell goes bizarrely sideways day 6-8, and ended up at 3 weeks with a nasty, fiery rash.

And then is the covid train of one day good, next day bad, that hangs and hangs.

And guess what, this virus can ve treated by Ivermectin.

So please, while there may be lots about viruses we don't understand, and maybe they are more properly called "inter cellular communications systems," and maybe they can be triggered by a whole host of influences, they are also very contagious, in certain instances, and this was one of those.

There are a lot of "reality deniers" in existence and people who don't know when to listen to individuals with real expertise. Let's not join that crowd, ok?

Dr. Zev Zelenko wasn't wrong. And neither are Pierre Kory, Paul Marik, Peter McCullough or the geniuses at ICENI and Prometheus Shrugged on Substack. To my original point, all the millions/billions being spent manipulating viruses at Chapel Hill North Carolina and at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and all the hundreds of Bio-weapons labs around the world would still be in the bank if viruses did not exist.

Thanks for chiming in on this Katherine.

Like you, I once was fully on board with germ theory, but after doing a lot of research over many years I now am convinced there is just no proof. Over the past several years of writing about this I've been challenged many times by folks like you. My standard reply is - show me a virus, any virus, and prove it's causative. No one ever has. Some have presented photos of particles that someone 'claims' is part of a virus while offering no proof. Others have presented computer generated models. Of course none of those are real viruses.

I've written a number of pieces on this topic and they are included towards the end of this list. Some of the many books that dispute germ theory are in my links.

Of course, Dr. Tom Cowan (who I interviewed in one of my links), Dr. Andrew Kaufman, Dr. Sam Bailley and her husband Dr. Mark are all outspoken critics of germ and contagion theory, so I'll include links to them.

Happy reading and watching!

Beg to differ.........One of the books I've read was "Never be sick again" by Raymond Francis. It it he said "There is only one disease: cellular malfunction. There are only two causes of cellular malfunction: deficiency and toxicity. Therefore, there are only two causes of disease: Either cells are getting too little of what they need or too much of something they don't need. The common denominators of all cellular malfunctions are deficiency and toxicity." I am proof that this is true as I changed my life when it comes to eating and removing toxins out of my life. Doctors make cellular malfunction worse by prescribing drugs to mask a symptom and not addressing the root cause of the disease

Our bodies are self-healing. Almost everyone has forgotten this. If restored to the correct state, the body will repair what it can with very little to no help from the conscious mind. Only 1% will take the time; the vast majority will give up and find out how bad the medical system is.

Heyyyy!

Heyyy Janice!:)

Tell me what you have planned. I'm not much of a fan of Earthships so I'm curious about your hybrid concept.

Expand full comment

Let's see... Definitely a banked side, prolly the North where I can store my water, definitely oiled dirt floors, and some mix of cob and river clay bricks for the walls. I'm not looking to be completely off grid with the power and water upfront, but more of a just in case. I certainly want an attached greenhouse on the South and plenty of natural ventilation for our hot Oklahoma summers...I do like the "cooling" vents those Earthships have that run under the berm, but I'll need windows too. Lots! lol

Likely going to be sprawling instead of two story just for the ease of heating and cooling and definitely a rock fireplace/cooking area designed (and hopefully built) by my dad, who's a retired stone mason.

I'd love to see pics of your home...maybe you have some posted and I just missed them. I'm a busy chick in Spring!

Is there a particular reason why you want to do the rammed tire thing? I ask because there are numerous types of earthen construction - cob, earthships, rammed earth, adobe, puddled adobe, quicha (ancient in what is now Columbia) and nara dake (Japan), post and beam with light-clay-straw infill (Germany) to name a few. All earthen construction is cheap materials wise but labor intensive. Of all of those, earthships are by far and away the most labor intensive. That's why there are so many abandoned earth ships scattered across northern NM and elsewhere.

The thing is, consideration needs to be given to local resources and climate conditions. What naturally occurring local resources you can use should be a strong guiding factor in what type of home to build. This will also make the house fit more seamlessly into the landscape. Earthships may perform well at 7,000' in northern NM but not necessarily in more humid, not-as-cold Oklahoma.

If you have a lot of grain farming in your region, you will have straw as a local resource. If you have hardwood forests nearby and a local saw mill nearby, you might want to think about post and beam-light-clay-straw. If you have stones, you can use them in the foundation. You get the picture.

Your river clay needs to be tested. River clay is often too high in organic material and too high in clay. Take some and put it in a jar. Fill the jar about half with the wet clay. Top the jar off with tap water. Shake it really well and set it somewhere where it wont be disturbed for at least 8 hours or so. Without disturbing the jar, look at the soil profile. Ideal cob material will have about 20 to 30% fine clay at near the top, courser stones and sand at the bottom and the light organic material will be at the top. If the ratio is not 20 to 30% clay, it will have to be modified upward or downward by the addition of other materials. If it's a higher percentage of clay than that, you can also just add more straw to the mix, but that gets tricky for reasons to complicated to go into here.

As for the design you described, that can be done with any of these systems.

Because I grew up in Kansas and spent some time in Oklahoma, I would say, if your in Eastern Ok that you might consider post and beam light clay. If in Western Ok, maybe straw bale. Straw bale is the easiest and works very well with interior cob walls and earthen base plaster outside and 100% earthen plaster inside.

I once had a lot of my work online, but the domain expired. If you want to get a feel for my background, go to the following site. I worked with Bill and Athena for 3 years in Mexico building low income straw bale homes. There is a lot of photos and information on their site. They live in my neck of the woods.

Wow, thanks!

And I wasn't planning on using tires. ;-) And I am in Eastern Oklahoma and own timber. Likely gonna use a lot of cedar...seeing as I have a lot!

And yeah...that's what me and my son are working on...learning our clay. It's very high "clay", so we'll need to add sand and stuff. Thankfully, there's ton's of that for free on the South Canadian! I guess that's why I'm calling it a "hybrid". I love some of the thing's about Earthships, but don't want the headaches that I'm sure they come with...so, while I'll be trying out a few design features, it will be more like a tradition Cob &/Straw bale home...for the most part. I just need a big enough berm to store water...and block the North wind. Nick's thinking of starting with a shipping container! LOL Who knows where we'll go with it, but I'm sure it'll be fun!

I agree. The Indians had that down pretty well until the US gov't decided to genocide them.

We all need to learn to live with nature and not fight her all the time. Modern farming is a great example of what NOT to be doing. My heart weeps often at the destruction I see but am pretty powerless to stop. Breaks my heart to see mature trees clear cut by a farmer all for a few more inches of ground to poison with chemicals.

What has come to pass in Ohio is a major disaster of long reaching proportions. This will be felt for many years. I hope that a miracle will begin to unfold there and people will begin to fight back against the man in a much bigger way.

Amazing to me how human nature seems to be bent on destructive ideations all for control. Control of what I ask?

It seems, in hindsight, that the Industrial Revolution was in many ways a Pandora’s box. Exploiting and despoiling the natural world has enriched a few while bringing forth evil consequences upon the many. Sadly, our nation now has a disaster to compare to Chernobyl. Due to the chemical industry’s inability to dispose of its toxic waste, and due as well to govt stupidity, a cloud of lethal dioxin has been unleashed over the northeast states.

Observations written 133 years ago: “Once when you came close to the river, you were sure to find fishermen scattered along, but it is not much use to go fishing any more. Years ago, there were so many salmon, but now they are unknown, simply because certain substances which would enrich the farms are thrown from factories and tanneries into our clear New England streams. Good river fish are growing very scarce. The smelts, and bass, and shad have all left this upper branch of the Piscataqua, as the salmon left it long ago, and the supply of one necessary source of good cheap food is lost to a growing community, for the lack of a little thought and care in the factory companies and sawmills, and the building of fish-ways over the dams. I think that the need of preaching against this bad economy is very great. Everybody patiently accepts the depopulation of a fine clear river, which started from its mountain sources as pure as heart could wish. Man has done his best to ruin the world he lives in.” – Sarah Orne Jewett, author of ‘The White Rose Road’ in her short story collection ‘Strangers and Wayfarers’ published in 1890.

Conclusion: The siren call of 'Progress' is leading inevitably to a self-inflicted annihilation of ourselves and all God's creatures, great and small.
