"Controlled Burn" Or Chemical Weapons Attack?
Fifty Plus Days In, Possible Evidence The East Palestine Train Derailment Points Less To An Accident, And More Towards A Domestic War Crime

Thanks to the independent journalists and concerned citizens that keep pushing for the truth surrounding the events in East Palestine, Ohio.
In the relatively short amount of days that have passed, marking the soon-to-be two-month anniversary of the Norfolk Southern train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, a very horrifying picture is emerging.
That picture is like a jigsaw puzzle piece with missing elements, but enough pieces seem to be intact to make reasonable assumptions.
The silence, lack of empathy, and obvious misdirection from the Biden administration, reaching from the Department Of Transportation to the Federal EPA, alongside the obfuscation and criminal inaction of Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and the Ohio EPA, are alarming. It wouldn’t be hyperbole to say that something criminally sinister has, and currently is, occurring. There are too many facts emerging, even if none of them make sense in a broad context yet.
In the case of Dewine, he has sentenced his own constituency to ongoing toxic poisoning and openly endorsed the lies of the EPA, while “moving on” to presumably more urgent matters like career tech and reading achievement in public education.
It should come as no surprise that the lack of a DOT response under Biden and Buttigieg is politically motivated.
What is shocking (according to an anonymous 20-year DOT employee whistleblower chance interviewed by YouTube commentator Benny Johnson) is the candid admission that hazardous substances were purposefully rerouted through small towns in America as bipartisan political policy over many years, and that derailment statistics were (are) purposefully fudged.
The pivotal moment in this tragedy occurred, as most people are aware, when it was decided to dump the highly toxic vinyl chloride into pits for a “controlled burn”. This dangerous and foolhardy decision was made despite the on-the-ground observation that the pressure relief valves on the rail cars carrying the vinyl chloride were fully functional.
Eric Coppolino, an investigative reporter who writes for his self-published Substack blog Planet Waves, has, like Johnson, been speaking with another whistleblower within the EPA, and notes that open-air burns are ILLEGAL and violate the EPAs own regulations:
“A June 7, 2022 guidance memo from EPA interpreting federal regulations and bans the open detonation/open burning of toxins.
Let me say this again. EPA violated its own rules and committed crimes when it authorized the dumping and open burning of 125,000 gallons of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM). My source is a former official in EPA’s enforcement division.
Public officials are so shameless that they have tried to pin responsibility for the dump and burn operation on the local fire chief. A proper recovery operation was initiated the night of the derailment, but was called off, according to a source close to the railroad industry.”
Read the rules for yourself:
Coppolino, in this interview with Satus Coup News on 3/26 /2023 delivers another shocking fact: In the entire history of railroads, there has never been a dump-and-burn scenario, making the decision to do so in East Palestine not only historically unprecedented but highly suspect. ALL alternatives for disposal to open burns, (a regulation first directed towards the US military) must be considered.
After working with two anonymous but trusted sources over the last two months, Coppolino states
There are specialized teams that are trained in rapid-response scenarios that can safely transfer dangerous substances from derailed cars to tanker trucks. This “scuba” team was sent home after arriving on the scene.
There are no “crime scene samples”, that is, no soot wipes from inside the tanker cars.
50-year veteran rail employees say the decision to breach the cars and dump and burn the chemicals, comes from a completely irrational and illogical place, again, there is literally no precedent or similar action.
The cars were breached (blown up) with extremely dangerous “shaped charges”, the charges were flown in privately to the scene since they are far too dangerous to be transported via commercial couriers.
Carnegie Mellon Insitute deployed a specialized piece of equipment to test for toxins and chemicals on the ground, Those test results are not being released.
The PRVS (Pressure Relief Valves) on the derailed cars WERE working according to the NTSB. There was no danger of a pressurized explosion.
CTEH, the private environmental testing company hired by Norfolk Southern to do on-the-ground testing, according to Copploino’s source has “crime scene” evidence and test results. That information was lost when the five employees working on the case were killed in a plane crash just outside of Little Rock, Arkansas. The samples they took remain, but the five eyewitnesses to what occurred are gone. People in East Palestine are sick in a “way they should not be” according to the chemicals alleged to have been on the train, and an anonymous source with 30 years of mass poisoning toxicology.
Copollino reluctantly asserts that the question must be asked after going through a fact pattern: What WAS in these train cars? The known evidence points to something more dangerous than vinyl chloride.
The “truthful lies”, that is, the incomplete narrative spun from the top tiers of the Federal Government down to the Ohio state government continue to dominate the corporate media narrative, despite the ongoing aftereffects. Something is VERY wrong, so the natural response of officials is to do damage control in light of clear evidence that there is a cover-up.
Again: What WAS On that train?
This is where one has to follow a dangerous and potentially irresponsible path into speculation.
One journalist who has gone WAY out on a limb in this regard is Yoichi Shuimatsu, who has documented, in articles and film, another deadly toxic event, the Fukushima Nuclear plant disaster, a years-long forgotten corporate environmental disaster, albeit in another country, whose damaging extent was downplayed and covered up, much like East Palestine.
In an exclusive series of articles for the sometimes dubious website Jeff Rense.com, (a website I gave up on following years ago and first encountered when I was younger and had an interest in the UFO phenomenon,) Shuimatsu posits, in a series of articles, an intriguing but unverified possibility, one that fills in the gaps missing from the story.
It has to be considered hypothetical, but considering the “National Enquirer” standards of alleged “professional” corporate journalism that freely spin untrue government narratives as fact, it should be considered worthy of possibility.
Shiamatsu claims that the cargo on the derailed trains was, in fact, illegal chemicals, bound ultimately for the Aberdeen Army proving grounds.
Interestingly, Shiamatsu and Eric Copollino, separated by a number of days in their journalistic efforts, merge together with almost duplicated vital questions: (Selective edits mine)
“Why were five tanker cars filled with a volatile chemical weapon precursor being transported toward the Eastern seaboard? What was the final destination of this chemical payload? Was the chemical cargo to be deployed for military use during warfare in blatant violation of the international treaty banning chemical weapons? Which battle zone was targeted for the massive chemical warfare attack?
The chlorine-based compound inside the five suspect tanker cars was falsely described by the EPA and Norfolk Rail as “vinyl chloride”, a rather innocuous substance, in a cover-up of the actual content of highly volatile vinylidene chloride. The latter, a powerful oxidizing agent also known as 1,1 Dichloroethene, was used by Dow to clean uranium fuel rods at the Madison facility, where it has since been stored in steel holding tanks.
Thus, the unmarked toxic tanker cars were obviously bound for the Edgewood Chemical Weapons Arsenal, located on the U.S. Army’s Aberdeen Proving Ground, fronting Chesapeake Bay north of Baltimore, Maryland.
On arrival at the Edgewood facility, the vinylidene chloride payload is readily weaponized into pure chlorine or far likelier “less lethal” phosgene for injection into canisters, for attachment to bombs and artillery shells.”
In other words, Shiamatsu claims the train was carrying dangerous chemicals, illegally, that could be converted for use as chemical weapons at Aberdeen and ultimately shipped to the proxy war in Ukraine Again, not provable, but a viable theory, and certainly FAR more believable than the lies and obfuscations offered by all levels of government agencies and corporate media.
Consider Eric Copollino (again, in a similar conclusion to Shiamatsu,) stated in the above-linked interview with Status Coup news:
“There are only two classes of chemicals that are illegal to transport. Polychlorinated biphenyls, and CHEMICAL weapons. They weren’t PCBs”. There was no recovery effort. They went straight to dump and burn.”
If any other time, speculation on an event like this might seem to delve into the realm of the conspiratorial. Considering Seymour Hersh’s revelations about President Biden being behind the Nordstream bombing, a provocational event that is one of many pushing us ever closer to global war, it is apparent that a desperate warmongering class would sacrifice just about anyone or anything to fight a proxy war against Russia.
Whether these extraordinarily weird, completely irrational behaviors like “dump and burn” were part of a conspiracy to hide the transport of illegal chemicals and turn them into military-grade illegal weapons, along with the ongoing documented illness is part of a domestic war crime and/or conspiracy committed by the government remains to be seen.
We deserve the truth, but it’s apparent we’re not going to get it anytime in the near future.
I just published “The term ‘Conspiracy Theorist’ is now being used to gaslight people who ask unpopular questions.” While it’s a bit tongue-in-cheek, it makes similar points. Would it be ok to link to your post as “additional reading”?
