The situation in East Palestine, Ohio, is much worse than the media is letting on, particularly as it pertains to the widespread release of chemical dioxins.
The 14 some-odd tanker cars carrying vinyl chloride that were intentionally blown up released a massive plume of these deadly chemicals, which were spread far and wide, including up the eastern seaboard through Pennsylvania, New York and beyond.
Tens of millions of people stand to be affected by this dioxin release, which by and large appears to be the most disastrous dioxin incident to have ever occurred in world history. Water supplies, food crops, city parks, state forests – all of them stand to become toxified with dioxins due to this disaster.
“Burning vinyl is the most serious source of dioxin in the environment – whether from trash incinerators, house fires or chemical spills,” explained Eric Coppolino, writing for Planet Waves FM – Chiron Return.
“While vinyl chloride is a precursor chemical to making PVC, any time chlorinated compounds burn there will be dioxins created. And dioxin is a manufacturing byproduct of any manufacturing process involving chlorine, from ‘disinfectants’ to the bleaching of paper. There was plenty of dioxin in those tanker cars before they caught fire.”
One of the most concerning things about dioxins is their persistence. They do not biodegrade and tend to remain wherever they lodge themselves for years and years. (Related: The Agent Orange released during the Vietnam War is still a problem in the areas where it was spread.)
Most people are unaware of what dioxins even are because the media rarely talks about them. Back in the day, a small release of them led to the closure of Times Beach, Mo., which was leveled and had its zip code removed over a dioxin release much smaller than the one that just occurred in Ohio.
“It is one of the most serious environmental issues, but the background is not known by nearly anyone (and that’s partly why I have posted the history below),” Coppolino wrote.
So where do dioxins come from? They are generated when chlorinated chemicals like vinyl chloride burn, explode or degrade. They are never an end product but are rather a contaminant and degradation byproduct.
“They are directly related to PCBs, which are considered dioxin-like compounds,” Coppolino explained.
“Dioxins were the extremely toxic component in the Vietnam War-era defoliant Agent Orange. They were at the Love Canal in Niagara Falls. They were the toxin involved in the evacuation and dissolution of Times Beach, Missouri. They are the cause of toxic shock syndrome from bleached paper tampons.
“Dioxins are acute toxins on one level. There will be a lot of dead fish and animals in the path of the Ohio plume – and people will get very sick immediately. Kids are extremely sensitive due to their low body weight.”
Their persistence in the environment and hormonal toxicity makes dioxins a very serious problem, especially when released at high levels like what happened in Ohio. We have not even begun to see the effects of what just occurred, which will manifest in the months and years to come as animals, humans and nature suffer over time.
“I guess a new disease is going to be invented soon,” one commenter wrote about how the establishment will probably invent some new made-up disease to explain away all the future cases of dioxin poisoning caused by the controlled explosion.
“And a new ‘virus’ will be invented, too. And new vaccines. And the shame. People being intoxicated being shamed because they can ‘infect’ people.”
The Left is fine with this.
I mean, look at Vietnam and Agent Orange. We sprayed dioxin on all kinds of people, and the Left was fine with that. They didn’t blame Nixon or anything. Oh. Wait. They actually freaked out about it.
But this time is different. Because Democrats are in charge. So ... dioxin is good for you.
They want us living in “15 minute cities.” They want to destroy America’s manufacturing and food production capabilities. This event served both of those purposes. They effectively turned eastern Ohio and parts of the northeast into Chernobyl.
This is Sickening.
Every person in the decision chain should be tried in court for crimes against humanity.
I remember driving through Idaho once and seeing beautiful big pristine looking lakes, but I was warned that the fish were full of mercury and not edible.
Somehow I wonder if there was an advanced civilization before the great flood and they injected everyone with mRna vaxxes and did stupid stuff which caused a Global Climate Change near extinction event and left only Noah et al
maybe that is why our lifespan is so short today.
The purpose of “fifteen minute cities” is to get us to extinct ourselves, just like the mice in John Calhoun’s mouse Utopia experiment.
I’m waiting for the onion to be peeled - who authorized the burning? Someone was in charge and gave the order - who was it and which organization?
The feds always take charge.
I used to visit Times Beach in the years before it was destroyed.
I remember it all well.
This is horribly sad and it is incredibly toxic.
I had no idea dioxin was involved.
Biden is a complete pig for not addressing this.
I thought I hated him as much as I could but I was wrong.

You know when you sear a juicy steak over mesquite or charcoal fire. Dioxins. Taste great.
Gee, where are all the people worried about the cleanliness off the air and water. You know the environment. Frogs, turtles, birds, endangered species, …PEOPLE!
Fact. Only 15 of the 75+ compounds known as dioxins are toxic.
How many of the 75 are created when you burn vinyl chloride?
This was not a “controlled burn.”
A “controlled burn” would take place in a sealed chamber with controlled heat and oxygen and monitoring of the effluent.
They just set the whole damned mess on fire.
Lifespan is short because God got tired of our shenanigans we’d get up when left alone too long. Look how bad we are with the way shorter time we have now.
Prolly why Brandon left for Ukraine.
Desperately praying for the Apocalypse. This won’t be it. Sorry.
Intentionally blowing up FOURTEEN rail cars of this stuff? So what was the alternative? Wow.
> “I guess a new disease is going to be invented soon,”
It’ll be called long covid.
Curious if chemicalserenity.com has a similar assessment.
Who signed off on the burning of these carloads of deadly chemicals? This is as Biden’s Chernobyl.
