From another article:

Further context reveals that the EPA previously claimed they wouldn't test for dioxins because they hadn't tested for baseline levels in East Palestine prior to the crash, making the cause of current levels uncertain; a rationale that at least one scientist refers to as "lame."

"Our toxicologists are taking a look. Unfortunately, we don’t have any baseline information about the levels of dioxins which are produced also by wildfires, by backyard grilling, by a host of other things,” Shore said. Lester says he has no knowledge of backyard grilling producing a dangerous amount of dioxin. “I’ve never heard anybody, any researcher talk about cookouts. Because that’s an infinitesimal concentration, if at all. Because dioxins form not just cause there’s burning, you need a chlorine source,” Lester said.

Lester says even if there is no baseline from prior testing to compare levels, the EPA should still be able to do testing to determine if the level that’s there is a risk."

This whole incident casts a lot doubt on the integrity of the EPA.

Yes those things are very real and well documented. I have contacts with former members and witnesses and victims of such events in the dark occult circles. No I do not peruse Q Anon forums. Q Anon is fake and is nothing more than controlled opposition by the world powers and a psy-op to keep people from manifesting change themselves. I know that a state of freedom, happiness, and growth can only be reached when everyone lives only in non-violence and in voluntary consentual actions. To get there we must understand ourselves and the current state of the world that we live in, which is a condition of slavery. What I detailed in my comment above is the truth whether anyone else believes it or not.

"Demarcus Shamir Johnson, an employee of the Sheetz located on East King Street in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, is accused of committing several grave offenses."

"The incident allegedly occurred on October 30th, 2022 when Shippensburg Police Department responded to a call for assistance from EMS, who were attending to a 14-year-old girl who had passed out in the Sheetz bathroom and was vomiting. Initial contact with EMS found the victim laying in vomit and her pants undone. It was later discovered that she couldn’t remember her date of birth, where she lived, or who her mother was. Parents were eventually called when they opened the victim’s phone."

How awful.

Making Norfolk Southern do it is not uncommon for regulatory agencies. You tell the project proponent they have to do something, they hire consultants to do the thing, you make sure their work is correct and up to standards. Regulatory agencies would need a much, much higher budget if they did that all in-house, and why not make Norfolk Southern do all the work and pay for it, as long as the EPA makes them do it properly.

The fact that they already have a draft plan in review is fast for the government. Yes, it sucks, but there are so many levels of oversight, plus the consultants near me and probably in Ohio are already hella busy, that it's not a surprise. Should the EPA already know the base background dioxin contamination across the US? Sure, but now we go back to budgeting issues. No one wants to pay for this stuff until the tragedies happen.
