Turn on Cspan 3 today,right now- Nadler on the Hill NAILING Whitman on the DUST and Air Samples Post 911 for New York City. I will post more later, as I watch this. She is sadly having MEMORY trouble.Now Conyers is asking Astute questions about DUST and WHY Masks and Worker Safety Precautions were not taken to PROTECT Workers?? ( and here's a thought these are Judiciary Hearings about the "Abestos" Hearings??? hmm, I wonder if it is Knowing Endangerment?) Big Shock....EX EPA Director and OSHA Director is here saying that there Was NO Abestos in the AIr at the 911 Clean Up Site and they keep siting the Wallstreet Readings- they have not openly discussed the actual Ground Zero SIte Readings......
( NOTE: Need to learn more about Abestos ? read up on Mesothilioma, and also Grace Mines in Libby Montana....there are over 40,000 911 Workers afflicted with Heart and Lung Damage- permanent.....and WHAT are the Lung Cancer Rates in NYC Now ??? Esp. in NON-Smokers.)
***** BE SURE TO GO TO THE RUDE PUNDIT- WHAT A LOVELY TRIBUTE TO CHRISTY WHITMAN*******

Oh, Now Previous OSHA director JOHN HENSHAW is saying that Carpet Fibers are altering the Samples and reports- and NOT Abestos- what a frigging lying sack of shit.....the dust was so thick ( and not with carpet fibers) that people could not see- much less BREATH.....
MSNBC is also covering these Hearings- but keep taking"Paris" breaks...
Thanks for the info. This is horrendous all the lies to cover their worthless carcass.
ASBESTOS AT GROUND ZERO? WOW, WHAT A COINCIDENCE!
THE WTC WAS THE SINGLE LARGEST ASBESTOS LIABILITY IN THE COUNTRY!
more
Lies Lies and more Lies.
Keep revealing truth, E4E.
For the present, that's the best we can do.
We need more pols like Conyers. He's not afraid to take on anyone.
Agree, Kathy, but all of these accusations and investigations seem to go into a big black hole never to be seen again...or, at the least to never reach a conclusion, much less justice.
I missed this today I hope they get something done

Thanks for the heads up, E4E. Read up on asbestos and eventually you'll see the name of Bill Frist. Wait'll you find out how much money he'd had squirreled aside for asbestos manufacturers in case they got nailed. I'm amazed that more people didn't notice this as well as how monstrously ironic that this was done by a so-called medical doctor.
Essentially, congressional Frist and DeLay used their offices to enrich their buddies in the asbestos industry, relieve them of legal liability and limit the power of claimants suffering from asbestos expsore to sue.
This is the GOP's version of tort reform.
I keep thinking of the mob, Sopranos style, doing phony asbestos clean up (basically getting govt funds to haul the shit & dump it in a river somewhere). I think 911 "clean up" was very much like that & we taxpayers funded it all. I recall the little dust masks they eventually handed out to the clean-up workers. What a crock, those are simple painter's masks & do not filter the kind of toxic particulates flying around that site. Look at how many of the cadaver sniffing dogs died. I'm so tired of being lied to. ~~ D.K.
Not only were NY police officers and firemen badly injured as they sought bodies and survivors in the wreckage, many many other people in lower Manhattan have suffered serious lung damage that will cut their lives short.
They were all told by the EPA at the time that the air was not toxic, and the EPA knew damn well it was a lie. The federal government cynically misled people.
I recently read a story of a survivor who returned to his apartment shortly after 9 / ll. He said all the windows and doors were closed tight. Nevertheless there was white dust all over everything -- the floor, his furniture, the kitchen counters, stove, his bedroom, everything.
People were breathing in the dust of computers, stairwells, walls, windows, everything that comprised the Twin Towers and everything that was in it -- including the people who died there.
How could anyone in this day and age, have ever figured that amount of dust etc, to have been safe, no matter what it was? ; (
Although, here in the midwest, you see people spraying pesticides on their farm land for instance, never wearing a mask. If I can smell it all over the road, I can't imagine what years of that is doing to the farmers health.
Although we know better, and there's no excuse, no one should have accepted that anything was safe after the tower debacle.
How and why anyone gives RG any credit for those days is beyond me.
Welcome Enigma Cafe:
Sorry guys, I got back late....ALL of the comments above are so dead on....
CM: what a good point...I have driven by farmers and wondered the same thing...
NEWSGUY: so sad and so awful.....( and the OSHA ass was sitting during the hearings rambling on and on about carpet fibers...) finally he got "questioned" ( aka drilled ) by Conyers and the guy from NJ- whose name escapes- said alot of what you just said- thank heavens SOMEONE brought the Truth out....also there were some people coughing - so I think there were some 911 people there keeping it real....thank you for being here and yes, it was and is all about what is REALLY in the dust....pieces of us...
DK: wow...cadaver dogs dying...OMG....that really says it doesn't it...
JP: thanks for the info and the insights....and yeah too many people getting rich off others misery...
Larry: no we are not that....but we will get there.
Holly: The Hearings were explosive- let's see if the MSM covers it...any of it...
Mirth: PLEASE PLEASE come back- I can't get to your blog when I link to your name- please put your blog NAME on here okay ? so we can all come over...I went to someone's blog and found you last week- but now I can't get back ;-(
And yes, I think many of us are hoping and praying for SOME KIND of Justice....Hearings and Investigations should bring some kind of Justice...and Conyers is amazing in the hearings...and Nadler too ( like a terrier with a fresh bag of hotdogs- chomping away).
Kathy: yup...we need more with balls- it is that simple...
Anony: thanks for the info....
Thanks all....more to come...
I was listen to this on NPR last night while helping my dad move some stuff. There's a special circle in hell waiting for her.
Thank you Fred....
and is the Circle going to include the rest of the OSHA Idiots...and NIOSH and other EPA trolls, and the CDC that is not studying these 40,000, although inititially there was an Oak Ridge Study that was studying the first 911 10.000 victims...
Do read the Mt.Sinai studies ( google Mr.Sinai + 911 Victims)
thanks...I hope THAT Hell is VERY Dusty....
