'We Basically Nuked A Town With Chemicals': Do Not Not Trust The Water And Food Grown In Any State Dependent On The Ohio River After Massive Toxic Chemical Spill And Burn
Recently Stefan Stanford wrote about the train derailment in Ohio, the animal deaths, the dangers to the farms downriver, and the eerie timing after the release of a movie "White Noise," about the exact same type of event, in the exact same location as it subsequently happened in real life.
And as we see in the graphic above, with East Palestine, Ohio and this toxic chemical burn happening very close to the Ohio River, and the Ohio River flowing directly into the Mississippi River, thousands of farms in the region and downstream could be affected by what is now happening, although officials in Louisville and Cincinnati say there are no threats to their own drinking water.
Yet states like West Virginia claim they'll continue to monitor their drinking water for any signs of pollution or chemicals from the fire getting into the water, is it just merely an absolutely bizarre coincidence that a train got derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, causing a massive evacuation, just months after Hollywood put out a movie with that very same theme, with some of the extras from the movie who got evacuated then being evacuated again in real life? We put nothing past these luciferians.
So, piggybacking off of Stefan's piece, I begin by asking two questions of our readers.
When spring arrives and it is time to start planting fruits and vegetables at those thousands of farms in the region downstream and dependent on the Ohio River, would anyone reading this truly trust the harvest of produce grown in that ground soil?
Would you trust the water you drink, and water your plants with?
In the blink of an eye the ability to harvest your own foods to consume, or to can for the following year, gone.
Today it is East Palestine, Ohio, where will it be tomorrow?
UPDATED NEWS......
Nearly two weeks after the train derailed, spilling toxic chemicals, we see reports of a pollution "plume" moving downstream.
State leaders are claiming that this does not "pose a serious threat to five million people who rely on the river for drinking water," while telling those using private wells near the derailment to drink bottled water.
The plume of pollution in the Ohio River is moving at one mile per hour (1.61 km per hour) toward the Mississippi River, nearing Huntington, West Virginia, on Tuesday afternoon, said Tiffany Kavalec, chief of the surface water division of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency.
Cities in the plume’s path can turn off their drinking water intakes as it floats by, Kavalec said. Drinking water tests have not raised concerns and normal water treatment would remove any small amounts of contaminants that may exist, Kavalec said.
Would you, dear reader, trust those claims when the chemicals were so toxic that chickens ten miles away are dying?
Yeah...... NO.

In an article titled "Kentucky and Indiana brace for pollution moving down Ohio River from East Palestine chemical crash," published on February 16, 2023, we see authorities once again claiming "latest tests show water is free from contaminants," yet we find it hard to believe that chemicals that toxic are not a cause for concern, not only in the water, but seeping into the soil anywhere that plume travels.
Newsweek provides an estimate of how far the toxic chemicals can spread:
While the overall ecological impact of the chemical spill is not yet known, the effects of these chemicals could continually spread for several miles through the air around the town, depending on the concentration of the released chemicals and local conditions.
"It depends very much on the weather conditions, particularly wind speed and direction and on the quantities—but potentially well over 100 miles radius," Veronica Edmonds-Brown, an expert in urban river pollution and lecturer in aquatic ecology at the University of Hertfordshire in the U.K., told Newsweek.
Last but not least, this quote provided by Daily Caller from hazardous materials specialist Silverado Caggiano, tells us what we need to know about severity of this event: "We basically nuked a town with chemicals so we could get a railroad open."
Pretty much says it all, doesn't it?
AS SPRING PLANTING NEARS........
America's infrastructure is old and continues to age, with limited upgrades to roads, bridges, and railways, so we never know where the next chemical spill or train derailment is going to happen.
For non-commercial farmers, and those that grow their own fruits and vegetables, perhaps now is the time to consider setting up complete indoor gardens. A spare room or if limited in space, grow lights in a closet with the planters on the floor. A garage, mudroom or even a utility room. Basement space if you have one.
Anywhere you can control the environment as well as the safety of the soil, the water you use, and the air quality your foods are growing in.
in previous pieces we have recommended indoor growing during the winter for those in cold climate states, but now, it may be prudent to grow indoors, year round.
Especially if you are in one the states where farmers and ranchers depend on the Ohio River.
There are also benefits to indoor food gardens, as discussed at SBS Australia:
• Research shows living near greenery is beneficial for one’s physical and mental health.
• Living close to greenery can alleviate stress, improve sleep, and reduce the risks of cardiometabolic diseases like diabetes according to research by associate professor Xiao Qi Feng, an expert in built environment and health at the University of New South Wales.
• Feng recommends growing plants indoors as the fragrance and taste of home-grown greens can positively enhance one’s overall wellbeing.
• Placing one medium-sized plant to a medium-sized room improves air quality by up to 25 per cent.
One of the best benefits in my mind about growing your foods indoors, is no waiting for planting seasons, anything can be grown at any time throughout the year.
Some tips from SpringPot on indoor gardening include: Determine which area of your house you would like to start a garden; Prepare enough light. Light is very essential for indoor vegetable gardening. Plants that are grown indoor require plenty of light to grow and especially to produce a healthy harvest; Choose plants that can adapt to an indoor environment easily.
As always we start with books, because if you are going to take the time and effort to turn spaces of your home in food gardens, then you want to get it right the first time.
When deciding on planters it is generally dependent on whether you are growing indoor our outside, unless you have a very large home to where an entire room can be dedicated to the garden, so space saving planters are ideal for those with limited space.
Tiered planters can go up against a wall, with a grow light above them. Hanging planters can go next to a window to get natural sunlight. Grow bags can go inside a closet with a grow light. Hydroponics growing systems with their own light can fit easily on a counter in the kitchen or anywhere else you want.
As for soil or compost, the best bet is your local gardening supply store, Walmart or Home Depot.
BOTTOM LINE
It seems as if every week something is attacking our food supply, whether it is shortages, food inflation, plant viruses, bird flu, megadroughts, fires, explosions or toxic chemicals polluting the water supply and seeping into the soil.
The constant fresh food supply along with the health benefits of indoor growing, shouldn't just be in response to a disaster like the train derailment in East Palenstine, Ohio, but rather a way of life.
