Rhonda Kitchens here with an update on the story about the ashes of the Ebola victims belongings confirmed to be coming to a hazardous waste facility in Carlyss ... I just got off the phone with the Manager of Government and Community Affairs for Waste Management Gulf Coast and the District Manager for Chemical Waste Mgmt in Sulphur. They explained the process to me and why the Sulphur-area landfill was chosen and they allowed me to address the concerns that many of you wrote about here on FB. I will be putting all of the information together for a full report. I will air on News Express at noon tomorrow (Monday) and I will post it on our website at watchfox29.com as well as here on FB. While it will take a while to get the story together I do not want to leave everyone wondering about the safety issues. They tell me the reason it still has to be brought to a hazardous waste landfill is because it was incinerated in a hazardous waste facility and since Veolia is a regular customer of theirs and they deem no threat, they consider this to be similar to shipments they’ve received, over the past 20 years other than the fear surrounding Ebola.. I also addressed your concerns about wildlife and animals and they say there is no cause for alarm, as the items were incinerated at an extremely high temperature. I hope this gives you enough for now, and I’m sorry if there are still concerns. I will work diligently to put together a thorough story on the issue.

La Attorney General seeking temporary restraining order against ashes of Ebola victims belongings being shipped to a hazardous waste landfill in Carlyss.

When FOX29 started making calls to local officials about the proposed shipment, none had been notified the landfill in question was the Chemical Waste Management Facility in Carlyss. Once it was confirmed parish and state officials began working together to get the shipment halted.

We’re told the restraining order may be issued as early as tomorrow morning.

The ashes are from the belongings of Thomas Eric Duncan. Linens, bedding, and carpeting were removed from the Dallas apartment where Duncan was staying when he became ill.

The items were incinerated in Port Arthur on Friday.

That’s a little over the top but they can be easily disposed of in Texas.

Ashes are about as sterile as sterile gets.

Are the end of the world people calling to close off Texas yet, from in and out traffic?

You mean in a big area like DFW this stuff couldn’t have been incinerated and buried locally?

Why all the expense to cart his crap around? The guy and his family have already cost enough as it is

If the debris and belongings have been incinerated, then there is no cause for concern. I do wonder why it has to go all the way to Louisiana from Dallas, though. Is Dallas contracted with that landfill already? Some urban areas ship their trash a ways due to enviro NIMBYs shutting down local landfills.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

WE know there is no problem because BO and his unindicted co-conspirators said there is NO problem.

Notice the trend - the deeper into the kimchi the malmisadministration gets, the more DIRE happenings.

“WE” are told no problem, AlQuea is ‘dead’, I killed them off.
He was correct, they changed their name and got more notoriety as they said “who are these guys”?

“WE” are told ebola is an African problem and our bringing our two people home would be no problem, WE just happen to find two doses and a ‘cure’.

Seriously, what in the hell are people around the world supposed to think? Especially those that do not like us??

The refusal for BO to at least attempt to curtail the ‘spreaders’ of the disease from coming stateside is treasonous.

THAT is the main duty these idiots have - Protect ‘us’ so we don’t have to take the law into our own hands.....

We spend trillions and all we get is sending a few hundred into the ‘jaws of ISIS’ and a few hundred more to rub elbows with the people in Africa...If BO is so convinced there is NO problem, he should be going to the “Dark Continent’ himself to show us it is not contagious.

At least that idiot Mayor(?) in Texas rode in the ambulance or whatever when they transported those people to the gated community.....(kind of like sleeping on a grate with your limousine and armed guards across the street. (I don’t blame them for that precaution, I am against the idea of someone not having to acting like they ‘care’)

I’m sure everything was TRIPLE bagged in heavy, industrial-strength bags. That adds a huge amount of volume, so six truckloads doesn’t surprise me. They did the same thing at the Reston Monkey House with all the monkey corpses.

Now if they had sold his stuff at the local flea market to offset his medical bills, then you’d all have a pretty good case for being really PO’d.

Erring on the side of caution here is good news. This is one of the most virulent agents known to man.

That Port Arthur incinerator seems to get the worst of the worst. I think I recall them even burning up and disposing some of the chemical weapon materials from Syria. They’re real specialists in this sort of thing. I’ve driven by the place a number of times.

Anyway, ashes should be totally safe. And I think my state of Texas should take care of them, since this chaos originated in Dallas. But I also like seeing the Louisiana AG exerting his power to stop something like this, if he thinks it might not sit well with the people of his state.

Does anyone know why the US flags were at half mast today (Sun Oct. 12)? Was it because this Duncan guy or the dude that got shot in Ferguson, MO?

Louisiana Attorney General Buddy Caldwell said late Sunday that he will seek a temporary restraining order to stop the incinerated belongings of Dallas Ebola victim Thomas Eric Duncan from being brought to a Louisiana landfill.

Let me guess. Up for reelection?

If this disease keeps going, the special hi-tech incinerators will just be handy neighborhood dumpsters.
