-Caveat Lector- http://vh80028.vh8.infi.net/heraldleader/news/101900/statedocs/19sl udge.htm Coal-waste Spill Could Be Nation's Worst Lexington Herald-Leader Excerpts from this hot story: "Last week's spill contained measurable amounts of metals, including arsenic, mercury, lead, copper and chromium, a federal official said yesterday..." Chief of the Department for Fish and Wildlife Resources' environmental section, said: ``We have instances of black water every year, but this is the worst one I've seen or heard of.'' So far about 100 miles of waterways have been affected, state officials said. Public services director Steve Corbitt said, "``This is a totally different animal than we've ever seen before.'' --------------------- http://www.sierratimes.com/newsfeed/index.htm This thing is really, really bad. And it's still not being reported on by the "mainstream news media." It's become very clear that the press are avoiding this for some reason, or for some person. We've received an unconfirmed report that Al Gore is one of the owners of the company responsible. (Martin County Coal Corporation, subsidiary of the A.T. Massey Co., which is in turn,owned by the Fluor Corporation.) This would tend to explain the near media blackout of this unprecedented inland waterway disaster, but we've not been able to confirm this. It could also explain why the A.T. Massey company has received what appears to be preferential treatment by the government after previous spills by a few of its other subsidiaries. EPA Settles Massey Water Spills Or maybe it's because the the parent company, the Fluor Corporation is a recipient of multi-billion dollar government contracts. In addition, the Fluor Corp. has had contracts with Shell Oil dating back to 1932. N.M. Rothschild, at the very least, a "shareholder" in Shell Oil (and longtime international banking company) established NM Rothschild (Denver) Ltd. in 1980 to serve the mining industry in the Western U.S. So, what does all this mean? Heck if we know. We're just trying to figure out why no one is interested in talking about this huge environmental disaster. Not even Mr. Clean Water/Clean Air himself, Al Gore. - Sierra Times -- Don't call Randy Weaver paranoid.
