Exclusive: EPA Dumps 880,000 Lbs Of Toxic Metal Into River, Won’t Answer Any Questions
The Daily Caller ^ | 3/31/16 | Ethan Barton

Posted on 03/31/2016 9:48:32 AM PDT by Nachum

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) officials refuse to answer two questions surrounding the August 2015 Gold King Mine spill that would help resolve issues uncovered by a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation. TheDCNF reported numerous contradictions in the EPA’s explanation of how and why it intentionally breached Colorado’s Gold King Mine, releasing 880,000 pounds of dangerous metals and mining waste into drinking water for three states and the Navajo Nation. Yet, the EPA refused to clarify those contradictions and instead disregarded TheDCNF’s findings and clung to its original story.

Precedent. If caught they can claim the government does it freely and demands that it isn’t held accountable.

And promptly contaminated that part of the CO river watershed all the way down.

I hope the people from Las Vegas are having a good time thinking about all that water they are now using is now contaminated.

Where are the GOPers calling for Gina McCarthy’s resignation? Countless elected officials, radio hosts in every market, the most watched news channel and not a peep. These morons wouldn’t know an issue if it slapped them in the face.

Are spills always reported in ‘pounds’? Why not ounces, then it would be an even bigger spill at 14,000,000 ounces.

440 (short) tons sounds so boring...

They have bought the Indian tribes with the Casino deal. Now Indians get kicked out by the tribes to pad up the revenues of the few that are left, like a corrupto cracy.

Democrats have effectively destroyed the Indians. Proof is they are saying nothing against the EPA that poisoned their lands. It is a hush for me hush for you game.

Yep-—all demonic, satanic, Malthusians now control all our institutions, and the EPA was their creation for population control—as is NSA, IRS,etc.

It has been about population control for a hundred years now, (the Malthusian/Darwinists (godless)) to quit the masses from breeding-—to homosexualize the children and destroy the Natural Family so they have just masses of slaves to use and discard at will. (Vice creates slaves for the State).

They want the filthy humans off of their planet, esp. now that they have robots to clean their houses and drive their cars, etc. The Malthusians like Margaret Sanger and George Bernard Shaw and John Dewey stated how millions needed to be wiped off the face of the earth. Now it is billions and why the NSA and Common Core (databases) exist. We need to eliminate all the “institutions” which are unconstitutional-—starting with the UN and NATO and IRS and D. of “Education” (indoctrination).

Somewhere in the range of 110,000 US gallons of water. As much as the Arthur J. Will Memorial Fountain in Los Angeles holds.
