Government Corruption
Biden Admin accused of covering up 'cancer clusters' after major 2023 health emergency [Palestine OH]
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The Biden administration has been accused of covering up the devastating reality of a potential Ohio cancer cluster.

A new whistleblower report shows Biden and authorities like the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) ignored and failed to publish health data after a train carrying toxic chemicals derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, in February 2023.

The Government Accountability Project has obtained federal emails and documents alleging the government knew there would be 'inevitable health impacts' from the incident.

They also claim the Biden administration knew residents would need health checkups for at least 20 years after the spill — but failed to disclose that to the public.

The chemicals released during the disaster, many of which are known carcinogens, spilled into the soil of the 5,000-person town and the nearby Ohio River.

They also spread through the air in massive 'really toxic' smoke plumes,' which could increase the risk of 'cancer clusters' forming, according to the head of the watchdog group.

Two years later, East Palestine residents are still exposed to a dozen chemicals linked to respiratory issues, fatigue, high blood pressure, leukemia and kidney, lung, liver and brain cancer.

And a recent paper found 540,000 square miles, spanning 16 states, were exposed to traces of volatile chemicals during the disaster.

Lesley Pacey, an investigator with the Government Accountability Project, told NewsNation: 'They knew that there would be the potential for cancer clusters.

'These documents confirm what East Palestine residents have feared: government officials knew about the serious health risks posed by the derailment and controlled burn but deliberately kept this information from the community.'

Pacey obtained FEMA documents and emails between the agency and the White House, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Department of Justice and the National Security council, which showed the people of East Palestine are still prone to devastating health consequences.

According to Pacey, the emails noted 'the occurrence of a cancer-cluster in [East Palestine] is not zero' and urged efforts 'to identify cancer clusters.'

The Government Accountability Project's report also revealed the Biden administration allegedly thought East Palestine residents would need at least 20 years of medical checks following the incident.

The Project also determined the findings 'point to inevitable health impacts.'

Over a dozen chemicals were in the rail cars, including several carcinogens.

Vinyl chloride, for example, travels through the blood and gets broken down by the liver into even more toxic chemicals.

When breathed in over many years, it can cause liver and nerve damage and leave people with a weakened immune system.

Exposure to the gas is also associated with a heightened risk of a rare form of liver cancer (hepatic angiosarcoma), as well as primary liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma), brain and lung cancers, lymphoma and leukemia.

When burned, vinyl chloride creates hydrogen chloride and phosgene — a highly toxic, colorless gas with a strong odor that can cause vomiting and breathing trouble and was used as a chemical weapon in World War I.

Trichloroethylene, meanwhile, is a clear liquid used as a solvent in for rubbers, fats, oils, waxes and resins.

It's also a known carcinogen that has been linked to kidney and liver cancer, as well as non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

And colorless liquid butyl acrylate has been linked to irritation in the eyes, including redness and tearing up, a scratchy throat, issues with breathing and redness and cracking of the skin.

Continued exposure over months and years can cause the skin to itch and affected areas to ooze.

Sil Caggiano, a hazardous materials specialist and former fire department chief, told WKBN 27 First News in 2023: 'We basically nuked a town with chemicals so we could get a railroad open.'

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
5 years into his criminal trial, cross-examination of Netanyahu to begin on Tuesday
[IsraelTimes] Process may take a year to complete, after PM’s questioning by defense attorney took 36 sessions.
The process is the punishment. The Israeli Deep State — with external help — is so determined to bring Bibi down that they’ve been prosecuting this case against him for five years

#1  Netanyahu is the only one crushing Gaza hard enough that after the war is over, the territory will be clean of them.
if he's overthrown, the result will be a disaster and Hamas will start its genocide all over again.

Australia Abruptly Shuts Down Covid ‘Vaccine' Safety Study, Destroys All Data
[SlayNews] In a move that has sparked outrage among medical experts, lawmakers, and participants, Australia’s Queensland Health has suddenly shut down one of the world’s largest real-world studies comparing Covid "vaccinated" and unvaccinated individuals and ordered the complete destruction of all samples and critical data.
So anti-scientific. One has to imagine somebody kept a back-up of the data…
The state’s health officials permanently shut down the QoVAX Safety and Efficacy Trial (QoVAX-SET).

However, the reasoning behind the sudden destruction of all data was not clear.

The announcement came in a letter to participants, in which Metro North Health stated:

#2  There was a Covid vaccine research program- Quovax- killed by the Qld Gov in April 2023, no reason announced.

#4  From the article:

Critics, meanwhile, say the move is nothing short of scientific sabotage.

Notably, QoVAX was one of the only major global studies with access to a “comparison set” of individuals who had been “vaccinated” but had never contracted COVID-19.

#5  There's only one reason to destroy the data and we all know what it is..

#6  The data must have been really, really bad.

#7  Wow that isn't sus at all

#8  “All study data… will be archived… [but] will not be accessed or used for any future purpose.”

Don't they have any leakers down under?

#9  Another possibility is that the whole "research" was a con and there's no data.
