Did The EPA Intentionally Poison Animas River To Secure SuperFund Money?

A week before The EPA disastrously leaked millions of gallons of toxic waste into The Animas River in Colorado, this letter to the editor was published in The Silverton Standard & The Miner local newspaper, authored by a retired geologist detailing verbatim, how EPA would foul the Animas River on purpose in order to secure superfund money...

Holy Shit! Mr. Taylor of Farmington called it...

What happened in Silverton was not an accident!!

the FEDS are nothing but a RICO racket…EPA thas 17,000 employees doing what….killing the country one rule at a time..

"He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance."

And further more:

"He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation"

Interesting. Durango was fighting the EPA. Durango did not want Superfund status.

The EPA provides jobs for self important incompetent, passive aggressive scolds... where else could EPA types find employment?

I do not believe this was an accident.

I found another, different copy of the same article on the web, but this is not a direct scan of the printed page:

Does anyone think that Obama would really destroy a significant section of America just to advance his personal agenda? Me too.

FYI and FWIW I just called the newspaper and was told it is legit and they are working on uploading the letter by the geologist.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Yes.

They did the same thing to a town called Times Beach in Missouri about thirty years ago over dioxin.

They used it as an opportunity to create a toxic waste incinerator in the middle of the country.

For those who are worried that the letter to the editor is a hoax, I wrote the editor who confirmed that they did indeed publish the letter as described in ZeroHedge and in Gateway Pundit.

Undoubtedly.
