I remember when they said Ground Zero was safe after 9/11, and most of the first responders who entered without protection were dead or on their way to dying within five years.

“Note that they didn’t evacuate folks BEFORE they blew up the chemicals. In other words, they didn’t predict the fallout.”

That is a very generous reading, Jeff. I believe we are living in a time of Reverse Hanlon’s Razor:

“Never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by malice.”

Yes, I think that they didn't want to ADMIT that there was real likelihood of harm, and THAT is why they didn't evacuate before their experiment. Our son who is not even the age of Jeff's said, "isn't burning a flammable substance going to CAUSE an explosion?" It is NOT rocket science. It is basic stuff that everyone knows.

Talk about gaslighting.

If you live in nyc you know there was an artist in the 70-80s that stenciled on every curb on 5th Avenue a sign pointing to downtown saying. GROUND ZERO ~> pointing to downtown. decades later ground zero was the fall of the twin towers.

Of course someone got rid of those stenciled signs years before it happened. It’s really true these fuckers advertise with glee what they plan to do to us BEFORE they actually do it.

Big fan of your writing Margaret!

Here's my research covered on a lightly viewed substack:

I'm a 3rd gen Holocaust survivor impressed with CHDs coverage and resources, especially the Never Again series with Vera.

I was arrested 4 times for speaking out against my clients who repped the Federal Reserve lawyers. I'm a legal recruiter with no priors who has spoken recently as a whistleblower that's been retaliated on. I just spoke last week alongside Drs. David Martin & Richard Fleming and can send you the recording links. Here's my Grandfather's story I digitized and it awakened my quest:

Aww, thank you for your kind words as well as for introducing yourself and your good work, Geoff!

Vera is an international treasure. I had the privilege of speaking with her before her documentary came out, and we have one collaboration underway with more to come as our schedules permit.

I will check out your work and appreciate your reaching out.

Hi there Geoff! As a boomer (now 65yo) raised in post-war Germany I can tell you that the depraved history of the 3rd Reich and the Holocaust has been part and parcel of school curricula and mainstream discourse since I can remember. TV documentaries about Hitler and his wifes, Hitler and his henchmen, etc. are on every night. The “Never Again!” and the “Fight against Right” tropes are ingrained into every child from Kindergarten on. There’s nothing adult Germans fear more than to be labeled a Nazi and therefore that label is nowadays doled out like candy to tarnish the reputation of everyone who doesn’t toe the party line (you see where I’m going?). If you criticize e.g. the LGBTQIA2+ ideology, the climate craziness, mass migration, or any other of these “progressive” projects you’re instantly framed as a Nazi. This has by now devalued the true horror formerly rightfully attributed to that term so much, that most youngsters don’t care anymore and just shrug it off – if now everyone is a Nazi, nobody’s a Nazi.

Also, all of these prescribed rituals of remembrance have never shed any light on the big questions of “how could that even happen in a formerly civilized nation?” and “who financed and enabled the hell on earth that was Nazi Germany?”. The young ones think Fascism and Nazism is present when brownshirts march down the streets with torches and swastika flags. I’ve railed for years against this empty ritualized show of remembrance and repentance, fearing that it will not only obscure historical facts but also enable exactly that what it allegedly tries to prevent. Umberto Eco (1932-2016) tried to warn us about this:

«We can look wherever we want, in all Western countries, whether in America or Europe, the fascists are winning more and more power (the left helps them along) and transform the countries into surveillance and police states.

Present day fascism outwardly has nothing in common with fascism of the past. No uniforms, goose-step and Hitler salutes. No, it's modern, cleverly packaged and will be delivered with perfect PR. But the motives behind it, the total control and exploitation, the censorship, the unification of the controlled media, the lies, oppression and wars of aggression: the results are the same. Most people are unable to see through the propaganda because they are completely blinded.»

Over the last 3 years I had to learn that those fears turned out to be pretty spot on. In the 12 months of 2020 Germany was turned once again into a fascist police state for the sake of “public health” with no problem or real resistance, and without any awareness in the majority of people. Those of us who resisted were – of course – labeled as Nazis and dangerous conspiracy nutjobs, regardless of one’s expertise and professional background. I worked in medical quality management and palliative medicine for 20+ years and was told by former colleagues that folks like me should just be jailed or gassed for refusing the jabs. At our protests we’re regularly confronted by masked “Antifa” types (protected by police, mind you) yelling “We will vaccinate you all!”. They distribute flyers telling people “Don’t do business with the unvaccinated!” (formerly known as: “Kauft nicht beim Juden!”). They should’ve read Nietzsche: “Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster.”

Well, at least now I know how and why the 3rd Reich came to be. IMHO, the failure of individuals and of every institution of society is even worse this time because people in the 1930s would have little ability to get valid information and were at the same time targeted by toxic propaganda 24/7. Nowadays, propaganda is still ubiquitous, but most people have instant access to all kinds of critical information and alternative voices, but they don’t care to look and won’t even read or watch anything we send them. They don’t wanna know, just like most of the “good Germans” back then knew, but didn’t want to know.

In early 2020 we were visiting our kids and grandkids in Georgia, after luckily getting on the last flight to Atlanta before travel was shut down. I spent much of our allowed 3 months researching and reading clinical studies. It became obvious pretty soon that there wasn’t a real pandemic unfolding and that there are indeed safe and effective options for early treatment. Among many others, I stumbled upon Vera Sharav and Dr. Zev Zelenko and put them into contact with attorney Reiner Fuellmich when we had to go back home. Vera Sharav was and still is the most outspoken critic of what our globalist overlords have unleashed upon an unsuspecting global population because she precisely pointed out the parallels between the “public health measures” of the Nazis and the eugenicist and genocidal agenda we are subjected to now.

Many countries, Germany of course being one of them, initially targeted the new “useless eaters” with the toxic injections. Our so-called Ministry of Health issued an executive order in early 2021 to prioritize the jabs for the elderly, the chronically ill, and children with physical and/or mental disabilities. Nobody seemed to understand but in my mind every alarm went off and I instantly thought, they are doing a rerun of “Aktion T4”. Australia, the UK and many more also went there. Our esteemed medical and political establishment didn’t object or question this executive order. In fact, some of our “socialist” politicians who for years had been virtue signaling in countless interviews that they became career politicians “because of Auschwitz” were among the most enthusiastic proponents of ever more draconian measures “against the unvaccinated”.

I apologize for this wall of text. I thought you might be interested in my inside take from the belly of the beast. There’s one question that keeps driving me mad, though, and maybe you have an answer for me. Why the hell would the government of Israel, specifically one Bibi Netanyahu, sell out their own citizens as clinical lab rats to an odious entity of organized crime like Pfizer/BioNTech and force them to get injected with potentially lethal concoctions “Made in Germany”? I guess Vera Sharav is right when she says: “This time around we’re all Jews.”

Thank you for your well constructed empathetic response. I'm seeking a lawyer barred in 2 countries like Reiner. Can you tell me more about your Atty Füelmich connection? I know I need his help or someone outspoken who won't cave to deepstate [bar] pressure. I am sitting on a clear countersuit on malicious prosecution / deprivation of rights (10 charges with no priors including 4 arrests) for whistleblowing righteous patent data.

Essentially, FED reserve lawyers behind the funding have uses the courts to power play me. Lawyers who make over 5 million a year+ paid me 76k for a recruit and started the vexatious litigation the same week as paying me. My social media scared me so they did:

- 2 counties

-2 charges

-2 attorneys (hired 2 attorneys)

- Civil restraining orders+ crim

- misdemeanors & felonies of a similar charge

They hit me 6 ways to Sunday to avoid double jeopardy & bullied my family because you cant combat exclusive profit filed iP patents. My case should pierce the veil for the new mass tort record. I just want justice for my young widow friend and others which have motivated me.

Dr. Fuellmich worked at the same university as I did, but we only met after he started his Corona Investigative Committee. They had a secret whistleblower website where one could send them documents and contact information. Last year that team of lawyers had a big falling out over a financial dispute and they are now going separate ways so that pathway is now gone. I think he’s currently back in California on his private ranch. You may be able to find his address there. Other than that I only have his eMail address: info@fuellmich.com and the website of his legal firm here in Germany: http://fuellmich.com – his coworkers should be able to hook you up: +49 551 209120

Ohio's largest corruption case involves nuclear energy - that is still going on re HB 6.

As an aside: Ohio's 2 nuclear power plants on the shorelines of Lake Erie have always been a concern as they sit very close to a fault line in the lake - yes, we do have earthquakes here.

No - I think the so-called experts decided to blow the stuff up because that would be cheaper for the big corps they answer too and the derailment happened in a primarily rural white area where people they hate live...

Jeff, thank you so much for keeping the awake informed of what is happening in our area. I live within 6 miles of disaster and have a rental within 500 feet of Ground zero. Do want to correct something so you dont get labeled a disinformation spreader...they enforced a Mandatory evacuation within the 1 mile hot zone. This was approximately 24 hours before they blew up the vinyl chloride cars. The cars were venting product as designed through the safety valves when reportedly they quit which indicated a BLEVE could occur. Look them up and see how bad that could have been. No way to know for sure if thats the truth but supposedly thats why the charges were initiated..We have been stone walled by the EPA, NS and our local "leaders" this entire time. NS has been given FULL COMMAND of the scene since last Friday night when it happened.. Supposedly didnt know what was on the cars which is completely BS until yesterday?? The EP fire department is stating all their gear and trucks are contaminated and un usable...Contaminated with what?? They are also not telling us what the h is the contamination. I had an EPA and CTEH technician come to my property hired through NS to perform air sampling....Just checking for VOC's which readily dissapate...They are NOT and no one is looking for the particulate as products of combustion after 5 days of burning and explosions..I have experience with air monitoring, rail cars and chemical plant experience. I KNOW how bad this is.. the EPA lady who was at my house also knew that I knew...she stated to me to keep my foot on the accelerator if I'm not getting answers...she knew herself this "air monitoring" is a side show...My place had VOC's in the PPB range but <.1 PPM which is acceptable...Again the particulate from a superheated flame of this posion is WHAT? WHAT about this crap that was burning all Friday night when the accident happened. We are being told everything is safe...just like the safe and effective gene therapies....I as well cannot confirm the die offs but am hearing about as well. No national news is following and am thankful and blessed you brought this to our teams attention! Please keep following this and help us get the answers we need.

But we don’t usually know it’s happening unless/until an affected person(s) finds a route to speak up. I’m glad you at least have this space to bring attention and firsthand details to us. I hope you have recourse, but if it’s there, it won’t be easily given. I’m sure a price will be demanded. Hate that for you and yours. Prayers for your health and finding your way through. 🙏🏻

Ooh yeah baby. Remember the truck that overturned in WVa carrying 'vaccine' for a foreign country? Military hazmat teams came in, with FLAME THROWERS, they scorched everything, closed the highway for 24 hrs, put a no fly/drone zone in... Re-paved the road with new tarmac....what ever was that about? Hum, an inorganic-organic hybrid life form in the vials coming to room temperature and spreading via the water ways giving away the fact the jabs had nanobots and other nasty stuff in them? Just never know do you?

I have no doubt that DOD was involved. Considering that the fact check spells out the DOD involvement with the products (prototypes by contract) as a countermeasure that sorta IS confirmation. Not many were paying attention and aware of this until Sasha Latypova & Katherine Watts work shed light and gravity on the matter.

The derailment did result in an explosion that woke nearby residents, who then witnessed flames "100 feet in the air." If I wasn't only 18 miles away and didn't have friends in the town, I never would have known this.

Apparently a couple of cars exploded, and flames roared for a while. What burned? What was released in the air?

Even after it was supposedly safe, those that returned soon had headaches, oozing eyes and puffy faces. Why no word on this?

Why are chickens even in Darlington and farther upstream dying? Why have my friends in Negley seen dead deer, coyote and foxes as well as dead fish? Why are all the birds gone? Again, I'm almost 20 miles away and it's eerily silent here. My Mourning Doves returned, as they do every year, but haven't seen them for over a week. No birds at all. And Little Beaver Creek, passing about a mile from here, has dead frogs and fish. And some kind of chemical slime that bubbles up when scratching the bottom or stirring up the water. Black clouds have been seen in the area from the "controlled" burn (an oxymoron if ever there was one).

Farmers are going to go out of business, with the sick and dying livestock, chickens, and contaminated crops and pastures. No more fresh milk, cheese, eggs, honey, maple syrup, beef, chicken or pork.

Where the hell is the media in all this?

Another question I have. Leake Oil gas station was right next to the derailment. I know for a fact that a couple of cars exploded. Why was there no shrapnel damage from that?

Leake Oil is still closed, but not due to any damage. Only the proximity. And a couple of miles down Taggart Rd into town, other gas stations ARE open. Like they are safe?

This is SO criminal. The ecological and economic catastrophes are being covered up. No doubt because neither the rail line nor the government are taking any responsibility.

KEEP SPREADING THE REAL FACTS ON THE GROUND.

With their "controlled" burn, they've also destroyed the food independence we've enjoyed here. Think about that one.

There were better, safer ways to clean up the spills, but it would have entailed closing down the rail lines, and shutting down the town for much longer. And would have made the EPA and rail lines admit to the extent of the damage and actually taken responsibility for it. They have not.

Netflix filmed a disaster scenario movie there, which came out in 2022,and many locals worked as extras. The similarity is very odd. The Strange Sounds substack just linked an article describing it. I just went and dug the link out. The movie was called "White Noise." https://archive.is/sWcVv#selection-2049.7-2049.95

From the article opening:

"Ratner, 37, is in a traffic jam scene, sitting in a line of cars trying to evacuate after a freight train collided with a tanker truck, triggering an explosion that fills the air with dangerous toxins. In another scene, his father wears a trench coat and hat while people walk across an overpass to get out of town. Directors told the group they wanted them to look “forlorn and downtrodden” as they escape the environmental disaster.

The 2022 movie was shot around Ohio and is based on a novel by Don DeLillo. "

“NEVER allow a crisis to go to waste” 😱

Book on Amazon —

“Majorities of Americans believe Barack Obama is a socialist and that the President's policies are moving the United States towards socialism. But very few can explain why they share this belief. Never Allow A Crisis To Go To Waste: Barack Obama and the Evolution of American Socialism demonstrates why the American people are right. Author and attorney Bart DePalma explains how socialism evolved after the collapse of the Soviet Union from classical state ownership of the means of production into a new asymmetric form - using progressive tools to achieve socialist ends, while misrepresenting the result as pragmatic "reforms of capitalism." After winning election as a post-political centrist, President Barack Obama ruthlessly put the full evolution of socialist theory into practice, from the classical socialism of his nationalization of Chrysler and General Motors to the new asymmetric approach of his "clean energy economy" and "Obamacare." Taking readers on a fascinating journey through the shadowy world of Obama administration czars to the "Tea Party" demonstrations besieging Congress, DePalma builds a persuasive case that American socialism is not only alive and well, but is also challenging the very proposition of the American republic. In Never Allow A Crisis Go To Waste, DePalma reveals: * When he enjoyed the power to unilaterally set policy under the TARP program, President Obama's first instinct was to employ classical socialism. Among his first acts as president was to nationalize Chrysler and General Motors. As Obama repeatedly told the American people: "We have no intention of running General Motors," the president in fact took majority ownership of the automaker and handpicked nearly the entire board of directors, while his secretive Auto Team chose the electric vehicles GM would produce and imposed a new dealership model which destroyed thousands of jobs. * When asking Congress to enact his policies, President Obama abandoned classical socialism and employed a new asymmetric socialism. Derived from the German Zwangswirtshaft ("controlled economy") of WWI and WWII and the theories of French Marxist philosopher Andre Gorz, asymmetric socialism reduces business to the status of civil servants and directs its fundamental functions, while misrepresenting its actions as innocent "reforms of capitalism." * President Obama's "clean energy economy" initiative implemented and dramatically expanded a decade old plan by a "blue green alliance" of labor and environmentalists for the government to ration and tax the coal and oil industries out of business while redistributing their wealth to create a government subsidized and directed alternative energy industry. * Socialists and progressives were disappointed that President Obama abandoned outlawing private health insurance in favor of a government operated "single payer" health insurance system. However, the President's "Obamacare" system grants the federal bureaucracy the power to make every substantive operating decision for the nominally private health insurers including setting coverage, determining administrative costs, directing marketing and establishing the venues for selling insurance. In turn, the government directs all Americans to purchase the resulting government designed insurance. On the eve of Obamacare's enactment, Vice President Joe Biden reassured supporters: "You know we are going to control the insurance companies."

"In a sense, the Ohio accident is just one more injury directly attributable to our overpaid, over-fed public health expert class." I disagree with this. The nation's railways are in even worse shape than the roads. I live near heavily used train tracks. They are in horrible shape. Years ago, a train derailment caused chlorine to be released just a couple of miles from me. The whole neighborhood was evacuated, but most people were at school or work. The chlorine was cleaned up within 8 to 10 hours. Did the railroad company (I think it is CSX) fix the tracks? NO!!!! They only fixed one short stretch. People complained about rush-hour traffic being stopped because of freight trains, so now, trains loaded with toxic chemicals go through the neighborhood all night long, on tracks that look as though no maintenance has been done on them for 20 years. I mentioned to the township supervisor (in writing) that any future derailments could cause a catastrophe when almost everyone is home, sound asleep. I got no response. You see, my PhD in public health and my husband's PhD in toxicology are meaningless. We aren't the preferred "experts."

I find it all related.

The detonation of the Nordstream pipeline is said to be the largest environmental disaster in history. How many people here in this group have heard or read anything further about cleanup efforts or the actual long term affects in the media? Now this ordeal in Ohio. This doesn't even touch upon the environmental damage caused by wind & solar. Or, the inhumane and downright tortuous conditions upon people making $1 per day mining cobalt for all the battery operated shit being pushed on the world.

I am a hazardous substances engineer. The lack of evacuation during venting (sometimes it has to happen, depends on the situation) is so reckless I would consider the lack of foresight to be grossly irresponsible and every licensed individual should be investigated, with being fired, license removal, and criminal charges all being on the table.

This is a perfect example of why experienced people, with good field track records not political appointees, should be empowered to make decisions in emergency situations. Whomever vented that wreck reminds me of the geniuses in Oregon exploding a whale.
