East Palestine Resident Says Officials are Lying, People Suffering from “Chemical Bronchitis”

Elvis Dunderhoff March 27, 2023

The East Palestine situation has become like something out of a parody of 1990s leftist notions of an unfettered capitalist dystopia.

But the leftists are not paying any attention. They are too busy helping multinational corporations and government change the weather by raising taxes. Also, they think it’s a good thing if rural whites suffer and die.

It’s interesting that The Guardian, a traditional leftist paper that is much less Jewish than its American counterparts, is the only paper in the world covering this.

This week, they published an op-ed by a resident of East Palestine.

Greg Mascher writes for The Guardian:

On the evening of 3 February I was at home in East Palestine, Ohio, watching a movie with my granddaughters, when my daughter Adyson called and asked, “Dad, what’s going on downtown?” I looked out the window and there was an orange glow in the sky. I turned the movie down to talk to my daughter but she’d hung up. Ten minutes later she called back and said, “We’re coming to get you.”

We went to try to figure out what had happened and it was like driving into a cloud – smoke was billowing overhead. A Norfolk Southern freight train had derailed. You could see the flames over the tops of nearby houses and feel the heat from several hundred feet away. Huge clouds of smoke were spreading from the crash site over our town.

…

People in the immediate area of the derailment were ordered to evacuate, in case of an explosion. The rest of us were told to shelter in place. By Saturday, the next morning, the air was full of smog. I was supposed to take my girls to a school basketball game; I told them to pull their hoodies up over their mouths.

On Sunday, the EPA officials said that they did not detect any contaminants in the air. But my granddaughters had developed blotches all over their bodies. They looked like burns, as if they’d spent too much time next to a sun lamp. My seven-year-old granddaughter’s leg was beet-red. They were coughing and their eyes were burning. I began to experience constant headaches and a nagging cough.

My wife’s cousin is a cancer researcher at Stanford. She called us and said, “Get the girls the hell out of there.” The railroad company had given us a voucher for two nights at a hotel, so we drove to an inn about 15 miles away.

On 6 February, officials decided to “burn off” the vinyl chloride rather than risk it exploding. The EPA said that there was a small uptick in toxins near the burn site and that it was to be expected. Dead fish started turning up in streams.

After a couple of days out of town my granddaughters’ rashes started to fade but we all continued coughing. I’ve been an athlete all my life. I don’t smoke or drink and was a pretty decent basketball player for many years. I’ve never had a persistent cough like this before.

On 8 February, authorities lifted the evacuation order. The EPA said its testing showed that the air and water were safe. We didn’t trust that assessment. Part of my family went to a relative’s house in West Virginia. Each time I’ve gone to East Palestine to check on my house my headaches start again.

It’s now been six weeks since the wreck. I dread night-time because when I lie down to sleep the constant coughing starts. My wife of 35 years woke me up recently because my breathing was so bad; she said I sounded like I had fluid in my lungs. Other people are having similar experiences. The ER doctors say it is chemical bronchitis.

…

I don’t believe the government or railway company’s claims that our town is safe. You hate to say that they’re lying, but they are. Some families don’t plan to come back at all. That breaks my heart. We have such a tight-knit community here.

The Guardian is usually a joke. But no American papers are publishing the basic facts of the situation, let alone giving the residents of East Palestine a chance to tell the world about their own experiences.

I guess if we’re being charitable, this does imply that leftists are not all bad, and they’ve simply been manipulated by corporations to believe in debunked hoaxes like global warming and vaccine safety.

Of course, it doesn’t really matter how genuine they are or aren’t, because they are still going to keep pushing the globalist, corporate, Jewish agenda in all but the rare instances where the counter-narrative doesn’t lock-in properly.
