Spill site in Western NY was never safe

Several students at the LeRoy High School have developed a tourette type illnesses unexplainable over the past few months.  A few doctors have diagnosed it as mass psychogenic illness related and not any other illness but further investigation uncovered that on Dec 6^th, 1970 Lehigh Railroad derailed a few miles from the school spilling cyanide and TCE.  LeRoy is located in Livingston County in western NY State with a population of 4369.

The NYSDEC and EPA did not conclude their investigation until 1997 and in 2008 the EPA announced a reinvestigation of the spill site.  EPA has designated the site as a SUPERFUND site, a category used to list all highly toxic areas that need remediation across the US, such as Love Canal.

Leaking and rusted containers sit at site leeching back into ground

When approached the LCSD Superintendent, Kim Cox denies that this has anything to do with the train crash but after a little more digging Zombified Times uncovered a second SUPERFUND site less than 2 mile from the school, Jones Chemicals Inc. Plant.  In 1986 NYSDEC and DOH determined that the area was at a high toxic level containing, Toluene, dichloroethene, methylene, chloride, chloroform, PCE and as well as more TCE.  Spring Creek also showed very high levels in both standing water as well as sediment.

Ms. Cox also has commented that the DEC and EPA have been on site and tested.  Certified school was fine but when pressed she would not or could not present documentation or give details.  Verification has been requested from the EPA Region 2 field office.

We also reviewed the EPA NPL Listing History for the Lehigh Valley accident and it listed the record closed as of 1/16/1999.  The accident happened in 1970 and some cleanup took place in 1970-1972.  In 1991 the EPA began testing the area to establish long term cleanup plan.  Why did this take so long to address?  There were residents of the town that had displayed illnesses such as cancer, birth defects and early onset Parkinson, can all be linked to possible TCE exposure.

The file report stated that contamination was still present and remediation included a public water system attached to Monroe County’s.  The NYSDEC also found the site to contain high levels of TCE as far away as 3 to 4 miles south to east, possibly moving do to the aquifer and bedrock under ground.

We also found that the “Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry” were asked to do an independent assessment but after careful reading it appears all they did was take the NYSDEC ROD and copy it and recertify.  So much so as it read word for word as the DEC’s report with the exception that the first page stated “NO APPARENT PUBLIC HEALTH HAZZARD”, but the DEC reports that up to 58 wells remain contaminated.

Now even if these students are affected by mass psychogenic illness, it still does not excuse the blatant denial of the school that possibly the sports fields could be affected from percolation, gasses that only appear during high water table periods. Ms. Cox is not a qualified environmental engineer or scientist.  Schools and school boards are quit clever at hiding issues but the truth is something they are hiding, by not allowing access from outside independent testing groups accept their own.  LeRoy CSD and Ms. Cox, Zombified Times is watching you as well as America.

We will keep you posted on any new findings we come across and all the EPA documentation is available on the web via the EPA.

The Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation abandons 4 million women

Tuesday the foundation pulled the plug on funding breast cancer awareness at all Planned Parent Hoods across the US.  A move that will cut off over 4 million women, each year, from receiving proper breast cancer screenings and education on early detection.

Seems they are actually racing away from women most at risk

Foundation spokeswoman Leslie Aun told the Associated Press that the cut off was a result of a newly adopted criteria barring grants to any organization that is under investigation by local, state or federal authorities.  Planned Parenthood is barred due to an “inquiry” launched by Rep Cliff Stearns.  Not that Planned Parenthood is not use to this type of treatment by the “Right to Life” side of things but the issue remains as why would an organization such as the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation, dedicated to breast cancer awareness adopt such a policy, and a new one at that, that could potentially be killing 4 million women.  Since when did cancer know who is pro-life or pro-choice, it is not like choosing to be a zombie as has the foundation.

Zombified Time smells some kick back money being sifted into some pockets at the

Foundation we will continue to investigate.

The foundation presented the following statement:

"While it is regrettable when changes in priorities and policies affect any of our grantees, such as a long-standing partner like Planned Parenthood, we must continue to evolve to best meet the needs of the women we serve and most fully advance our mission," the statement said.

Republicans: You’re taking the wrong approach.

           So much has been voiced that the republicans need a candidate to beat President Obama and they are spending millions of dollars to promote that as well as tear apart the competition, that not one candidate has put forth any feasible policy changes to help get this zombie nation out of the dumpster.  Romney and Gingrich are brow beating each other, Santorum is getting shut out by the media and no one really cares what Paul has to say, why?  Well the media for one, the party for two and the lack of a desirable agenda or any agenda to present the American people.

            The party and the American people will be far better served if the candidates pull the political machine out of there proverbial party asses and lay down the “What I will do for this country.” Currently with all the focus on who slept where, made money how, and what moon we are going to live on, we have not heard any substance on the economy, national defense, smaller government, taxation and how you, the candidate, will get the government out of my business.

            On the other hand the democrats need to really look for an alternative to compete against the President.  The truth is he has failed at every opportunity he has been presented and I am not talking about the lame ass house and senate issues, but in instances where he could have set the decision himself.  The pipeline being one.  Had he approved that he most definitely would have take the jobs issue into his corner. Now that is has been essentially squashed, TransCanada is looking at taking the pipe line westward, connecting to current infrastructure that they have in the US and getting it to the Gulf with out any intervention by the US, cutting out ExxonMobil and any chance of new jobs coming to the US.  I know the dems have someone in the wings.  You need to bring forth the moderate to replace the President.

            Republicans get the hell out of the boxing ring and bring something to the table so that we can make a real decision on where you stand on real issues that effect real people.  I do not want to here about Buffets’ overpaid secretary, being over taxed.  I know our office secretary would kill for $200k a year.  If the only issue you can all find is to defeat Obama, then you have sealed that last nail in your political coffin.

Welcome to the United Socialist of America

So the President wanted to lay down some tough words during his State of the Union.  So tough, how can anyone swallow it.  We at Zombified Times wonder what more can this administration do to damage this country.  We can no longer seek free enterprise; choose what can go in our food. We soon will not be able to keep the money we earn.  But in the infinite wisdom of our President it seems he feels that Colleges will need to stop raising tuition rates and if you do raise them you will loose federal aide.

Ok so not to seem I am against education, even if the number of college grads I have met over the past few years seem to be not any smarter than a typical 5th grader, I am against the government who brow beats and dictates what can and can not do.  Price controlled by the government.  Seems I have seen that somewhere else in the past 30 years, the former Soviet Union comes to mind.

Let me lay the scenario out.  Cap tuition so people can afford college, still no jobs though.  Well bakery, cap the price of bread so that people can afford it.  Mister baker now closes his doors cause he can’t make any profit to buy materials to make bread or pay the taxes so that people have the free government money to buy bread.  So now there is no bread to buy now everyone goes to the other bakery, they cannot keep up with the demand since they make no profit, they cannot buy more equipment.  So now everyone stands in line waiting for the bread.

Cynical you say.  Zombies are taking over our parks, protesting to stockbrokers, stealing people’s homes and down right being toxic by following the mainstream media’s spliced sound bites.  We have been right in the past and we will be right again.  Welcome to the United Socialist of America, led by the few, followed by the zombies.

Weekly World News now is leader in new media

NOT.  From the news source that gives us everything bat boy related.......

It appears that Weekly World News reported that on Monday January 23rd, Callista Gingrich, the wife of the Presidential runner and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, called 911 to report a woman was breastfeeding her one-month-old son near her home.

Needless to say the mindless zombies quickly grabbed this story like a fresh brain hitting the floor and spread across the World Wide Web of mis-information.  Even CNN posted the story.  Within the day it was traveling Facebook, Twitter, and by the end it was every where.  We must report the Mrs. Gingrich was in Florida when this all transpired and in no way were any breast-feeding babies harmed but with the help of the Weekly World News we should have a few thousand more empty heads out there that can be Zombified shortly.

What are you?

DEMOCRAT - The Party believes that government should play a role in alleviating poverty and social injustice, even if that means a larger role for government and progressive taxation to pay for social services.

REPUBLICAN - Republicans have a strong belief in personal responsibility, limited government, and corporate entrepreneurship, small to large businesses.


LIBERALS – Believes in government action to achieve equal opportunity and equality for all.  It is the duty of the government to alleviate social ills and to protect civil liberties and individual and human rights.  Believe the role of the government should be to guarantee that no one is in need.Liberal policies generally emphasize the need for the government to solve problems.

CONSERVATIVES – Believes in personal responsibility, limited government, free markets, individual liberty, traditional American values and a strong national defense.  Believe the role of government should be to provide people the freedom necessary to pursue their own goals.Conservative policies generally emphasize empowerment of the individual to solve problems.

ZOMBIE -  A living being stripped of it’s will, humanity, and normal behavior by outside forces either supernatural and mundane.

See any resemblance here?

Conservative does not mean Republican. Get over your liberal lame ass.

Sad, sad day. After surfing through comments and articles I have realized that people really have no clue on American History, American Politics or how the two shaped each other. People want to carry labels such as Conservative or Liberal, but neither know the history of those titles. It kind of reminds me of a story from the film “Reel Injun”. It commented that in the 60's the Native American had become so popular that everyone claims to be part {insert tribe here}, but they know nothing of that tribe’s culture. Can one person tell me what year conservatism came to fruition in the Republican Party?

By the way this picture is mistaken...all the items listed here have nothing to do with conservatives and republicans. Know your facts, know your history.

Know the real facts before you make statements like these

1. Liberals got women the right to vote - False
1. 19^th Amendment – 1920 – Republicans carried the majority vote.  Conservative Democrats opposed

‎19th Amendment Voting Record - Right vote regardless of sex

FOR ADOPTION - 56.

Republicans - 36.

Democrats - 20.

AGAINST ADOPTION - 25.

Republicans - 8.

Democrats - 17.

2. Liberal got African Americans the right to vote - False
1. 13^th, 14^th and 15^th Amendment – 1870
2. 13^th Amendment: Congressional Republicans passed the 13th Amendment unanimously – against nearly unanimous Democrat opposition (1864)

4. 15^th Amendment: Nearly all Republicans in Congress voted in favor, though a few abstained, saying it did not go far enough.  Nearly all Democrats in Congress voted against the 15th Amendment. (1869)

3. Liberal created Social Security 
1. Social Security Act of 1935 – President F. Roosevelt (Democrat)  was not endorsed by the Conservative Democrats but received a record number of Conservative Republic endorsements.  In terms of today’s standards Roosevelt would have been labeled a moderate Democrat.

4. Liberals ended segregation – Actually this was first put forth by Truman to desegregate the military, Executive order 9981, 1948.  Truman was a Conservative Democrat who promised liberal changes.  He did however refuse to get involved in the Civil Rights issues.  He only acted on one liberal campaign promise.  This became law under the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

5. Liberals passed the Civil Rights Act
1. (1866) Vetoed by President Andrew Johnson (Democrat) Lincoln picked Johnson to be VP in his theory of “keep your friends close and your enemies closer”  Johnson refused to support the “Freemans” rights which lead to the first impeachment of a president.  Republican congress ratified the Civil Rights Act of 1866 over Johnson’s vetoes.
2. (1964) (Lydon B. Johnson, Conservative Democrat)  Johnson was against the Civil Rights Act as VP under JFK, he only opted to vote for in an attempt to grab the African American vote that Kennedy had secured on the promise of passage of the Civil Rights Act.  Still 17 Conservative Democrats filibustered in an attempt to fail the passage of the act.

3. As a side not then Congressman John F. Kennedy voted against the Civil Rights Bill in 1957

6. Liberals created the
1. Voting Rights Act – 1965 (Lydon B. Johnson, Conservative Democrat)

8. Liberals passed the Clean Air Act
1. 1963, Amendment 1970
2. The act had full bipartisan support.  Those against were lobbyist for the auto industry and quickly became a non issue due to time for re-engineering of the automobiles.

9. Liberals passed the Clear Water Act
1. 1977- Really.  This was an amendment to the 1972  Federal Water Pollution Control Act, which came from the Congressional laws of 1880 and 1890 forming the Refuse Act of 1910 to prevent dumping in any harbor.
2. Congress basically gave more power to the EPA.
