Oh Happy Day!!! Caroline Kennedy as the senator from New York.

I left NY almost 11 years ago, and this is the first shred of hope I have for divine restoration of New York state. New York needs a senator who will fight for her and Caroline Kennedy has the power and wisdom to do it.

I've been advocating for years the need to deal with World Trade Center Illness. Since I don't live in New York, Senator Clinton does not respond to me. I believe Kennedy will take on that issue and win the necessary funding and other support required to solve the problem, unlike the senator she is replacing who is so ineffective on the issue that the victims had to march on Washington last year for support.

When the EPA said the air and water were safe on 9/13/01, the current senators were silent. There were no demands to see the air quality reports from the sewers or the city's EPA numbers, which would have shown high toxic levels from the exploded WTC 1, 2 & 7; enough to have ordered an evacuation, not a lock down of the city. Instead of the senators speaking out immediately, the city was left to the mercy of the mayor's management. We are learning how that turned out as body parts are being found on the site as recently as last year.

According to Kennedy's cousin, Robert Kennedy Jr's Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) report, THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF THE WORLD TRADE CENTER ATTACKS - A PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT "At least 10,000 New Yorkers have suffered short-term health ailments from Trade Center generated air contaminants." Reports are that the fall out from those buildings was as toxic as drain cleaner. "World Trade Center Cough" and "World Trade Center Illness" are medical phrases.

The WTC buildings held, as reported by the NRDC, 1.2 million tons of building materials. This was mixed with thousands of gallons of jet fuel containing benzene and other toxic chemicals. Included in the buildings contents were 300-400 tons of asbestos, 424,000 tons of concrete, an estimated 50,000 personal computers with 4 pounds of lead per computer or 200,000 pounds of lead just from the pc's, glass, PCB's, mercury from the light bulbs and computers, 130,000 gallons of transformer oil, and Lord knows what else. NRDC calls the 9/11 disaster a "pollution event."

If Kennedy had been senator then, I assume the subject would have come up over the family holiday dinner.

When she becomes senator, the environment in New York will finally get real care. She has the connections to raise the funds needed to help people in the tri-state area deal with the economic and health issues this disease presents.

I've added to my prayer list that Gov. David Patterson do the right thing and give the people of the great state of New York a champion senator they deserve. With the upcoming World Trade Center Illness crisis (the dust was not limited to below 14th Street as reported) it is best to have a well connected, independent champion in the senate.

This change is gonna be great, Lord willing.

Why Isn't Gov. David Patterson Screaming About 9/11?

Maybe I'm not suppose to understand.

Can somebody please explain to me why the new governor of New York, David Patterson, is not screaming and demanding an immediate, vetted investigation into what really happened on 9/11/01. He has inherited a state with a huge wound and little to no resources to heal it.

There are many webeos on the subject of 9/11 Truth, i.e. Loose Change, a great 9/11 starter piece. (Not the last edited one, the Second Edition)






The military was on stand down on 9/11. Dr. Steven E. Jones reports thermite was found at the WTC site. Many witnesses reported hearing explosions. The main beneficiary of the crime is the Bush Administration, who used the event as a motivation to their march to war.

Governor Patterson's first responsibility should be to the people of New York, unlike that of the federal government.

Thanks Keith Olberman and the Countdown crew for your great and courageous coverage, like the piece on:

Rep. Darrell Issa 'Worst Person' for Refusing 9/11 Sick Aid





New Yorkers are suffering and dying from World Trade Center Illness, not just the first responders either. Though there have been studies and folks registered, no help is available when disease manifest. As witnessed by body parts still being found at the site, the city was never cleaned of the exploded World Trade Centers 1, 2 & 7.

Rather than take a proactive strategy of preventative medicine, the government chose, despite repeated warnings, to study the problem.

Governor Patterson needs to lead the fight to help New Yorkers, and the dust did not stop at 14th Street, deal with the unspoken health crisis people are experiencing.

The governor needs to demand unconditional health care to all exposed.

Pay for the medical bill with complete legalization of hemp in New York. Apply a 20% recreational hemp tax. It's a perfect place for a ground zero fight of states vs. federal rights.

WE ARE OVERCOMING NOW

Asthma attack: Harlem's toxic trucks targeted - truckers fined!

Somebody please tell me they are kidding!!!

"UNDER ASTHMA ATTACK

HARLEM'S 'TOXIC' TRUCKERS TARGETED

By DOUGLAS MONTERO and SAMUEL GOLDSMITH

November 17, 2007 -- Smoke-belching truck tearing through Harlem are being ticketed with heavy fines for leaving a trail of toxic dust that has elevated the area's asthma rates to alarming levels, authorities said yesterday.

Over the past two weeks, 110 trucks have been slapped with fines that start at $750 for first offenders, and $1,300 for those caught a second time."

They're kidding right about the problem being the toxic trucks?

It is not the truckers who should be fined. It is the fools in charge who had created a toxic environment and are trying to blame the working people for the problem. If these are the folks making deliveries in this underserved area, what message is that sending?

If we had been using hemp biofuel or magnetic energy, there would be no air pollution from trucks. Our government has made clean burning hemp biofuel illegal and starved Bruce DePalma's invention, the N Machine that works with a Faraday Motor to create clean, free, sustainable energy. Instead they keep us on toxic energy and decide which will be the next war project.

I left Harlem screaming in '98 because the poverty pimps, no matter how many times I spoke with them, how many street corners I stood on for hours at a time giving out flyers, or rallies at Riverside Park, the leadership was/is stuck on stupid, evil or both if they are blaming the truckers for Harlem's asthma problem.

They would take their own families to Riverbank Park to swim on top of an open sewer because it was politically correct to support the best park in Harlem. It was like the movie JAWS beach scene on the 4th of July weekend.

Federal, state and city policy has legislated Harlemites to death, literally.

1. Harlem is surrounded by 5 open sewers, North River, Wards Island,Tallmans Island, Hunts Point and Bowery Bay. Hunts Point is where they make the fertilizer.

At Riverbank, they have added a new $55 million air treatment process that removes the odors. Does it remove or empower the toxins?

I remember being in shock at the environmental poverty pimps working to keep the conversation on odor and flow rather than the mutating germs and other toxins released from the open windowed sewers. (More information posted next blog entry).

2. Harlem is surrounded by high traffic highways on 3 of 4 sides.

3. The Harlem valley is a sink for a lot of the toxins in the area.

4. There are large rat and roach problems that could help cause asthma.

5. Some of those building are over 100 years old with mold, lead and other toxins.

6. World Trade Center dust was not cleaned up in Manhattan anywhere but in the hole. That toxic dust has to be impacting by now since the incubation time is 5-15 years, though the first person to die from WTC Illness passed in February, 2002.

7. Plus increased stress after the greatest inside job ever, 9/11, and they want to blame the trucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think they should check out the above list before giving the truckers grief.

Or maybe the fines are about greed. Like the environmental disaster could have been about the genocide necessary for clearing Harlem out to make way for modern times.

World Trade Center Illness Manifested

USA Today Reports:

"Felicia Dunn Jones, shown here in a 1991 photo with her family, has been declared the 2,750th victim of the World Trade Center bombing."

"A woman who was enveloped in toxic dust from the World Trade Center on 9/11 was declared the 2,750th victim of the terror attack yesterday - after the city medical examiner did an about-face and linked the noxious plume to her illness.

The reversal means Felicia Dunn-Jones, a civil rights attorney from Staten Island who died five months after 9/11, will be (was) recognized at the World Trade Center Memorial.

It also opens the door for the families of others who fell mortally ill after contact with Ground Zero dust to demand they be included on the list of victims and at the memorial.

"I would hope they would review all the police who got sick, including my son, and put their names on the memorial," said Joseph Zadroga, father of NYPD Detective James Zadroga, who died of lung disease last year. "They belong there just like her."

Today her name was added to the list of those who died as a result of exposure to World Trade Center dust. She is not the only one as the list of folks who have died from WTC dust is unknown.

What we are now calling “World Trade Center Illness” (or syndrome or cough) - sickness that results from exposure to the toxic dust of the WTC - can manifest as squamous cell cancer (SCC) or mesothelioma asbestos lung or stomach CANCER and other diseases resulting from the toxic synergy resting from exposure to many known toxic substances.

Get ready to heal a whole new crop of diseases.

Most of what I've looked at over the years has been information on known cancers from exposure to the chemicals on the list of toxins.

Both cancers, squamous and mesothelioma, result from chronic chemical, petroleum by-products or asbestos exposure. Exposure increases risk, and folks have been exposed to large quantities of toxic material for years now.

We have to stop pretending not to know. Since September 11, 2001, folks in parts of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut have been breathing, eating and drinking the dust from the World Trade Center.

The toxic soup contained transformer oil contaminated with PCB's, polyvinyl, chloride, copper, furans, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, dioxins, asbestos, mercury from the computers and lights, thousands of gallons of jet fuel, and what the National Resources Defense Council - NRDC also defined as “small hazardous waste generating entities.” Add to that an estimated 50,000 personal computers with four pounds of lead each, pulverized, and that is 200,000 pounds of lead released into the atmosphere.

I'm still researching.

Chronic asbestos and petroleum by-products’ exposure can cause cancer.

Folks have been exposed to known carcinogens, and we need to deal with this situation now.

People in New York were told “We need you strong.” Rather than evacuate the area, the city was put on lock down, and the EPA report was manipulated by the White House to reflect minimal danger in the dust. There was no choice but to consume the toxins.

From WTC Volunteer Albert Davis’ book (As told to Terri Suess ) on his experience, GETTING TO GROUND ZERO:

“The bottom line was there was a shortage of masks. I was able to get one box of matching masks and filters and delivered them to where they were needed, near the “Hole”.

They were gone in an instant.

I thought of asking rescue workers for their masks when they came out of the site to take a break so the next rescue worker could use it. No one else thought that idea would work so I abandoned it.”

Here’s more supporting documentation for my concerns.

SQUAMOUS CELL CANCER Health Central reports about SCC: “Other risks include genetic predisposition… chemical pollution, and overexposure to X-rays or other forms of radiation.”

From Skincancer.org “Squamous cell carcinomas may also occur where skin has suffered certain kinds of injury: burns, scars, long-standing sores, sites previously exposed to X-rays or certain chemicals (such as arsenic and petroleum by-products).”

SCC can happen internally due to breathing petroleum by-products. I am dealing with this on a personal level now, which is the catalyst for these observations.

My mother-in-love, Edith Akuna, 69, worked for General Motors in Van Nuys, CA in the 1980’s. Her job on the finishing line was to put the stickers on new cars, approving the engine worked. She also pumped gas into the cars for part of her time there. To do her job, Edith breathed the chemicals off the new, 'starting for the first time' cars for years. After developing respiratory problems, she was put on complete disability about 12 years ago. Edith, who was otherwise healthy, died of SCC, the kind that results from chemical exposure.

SCC is usually a skin cancer. Because she breathed the chemicals, the SCC was on her internal organs. She had a mass that went from the top of her neck down her right lung, a second tumor lower on her lungs and one on each kidney.

As the doctors were explaining the nature of squamous cell cancer I thought, ‘chemicals, like what the folks consumed on 9/11?' I made the connection between WTC Illness and SCC because the transformer oil and the thousands of gallons of jet fuel, plus the pulverized plastics (petroleum by-products and other chemicals) are what folks in at least part of the tri state area have been consuming, like Edith did at her job.

We know based on Edith's job description and interviews with co-workers that petroleum by-products are on the list. Of course they have not released the list. They said they'll get back to her son. That was two years ago.

The problem of WTC Illness is not just SCC.

MESOTHELIOMA ASBESTOS LUNG & STOMACH CANCER

Another dangerous element from the dust is the asbestos. Asbestos inhalation increases ones risk for Mesothelioma Asbestos Lung Cancer.

There was, as estimated by the NRDC, between 300-400 tons of asbestos released into the air, pulverized, when the buildings fell. From the mesothelioma-net.org site:“ Pleural mesothelioma or cancer of the lung lining is the most common form of mesothelioma cancer. Peritoneal mesothelioma is stomach lining cancer and is the next most common form of mesothelioma.”

From U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, Agency Fact Sheet - September 13, 2001;

“Asbestos fibers are found in nature and float easily.

Nearly everyone is exposed to asbestos at some time in their lives. It becomes a health concern when asbestos fibers are breathed in at high concentrations over a long time period. As a person’s exposure to fibers increases, either by breathing more fibers or by breathing fibers for a longer time, that person’s risk of disease also increases. It can take anywhere from 10 to 40 years for someone to develop a specific illness after their exposure. Disease is very unlikely to result from a single, high-level exposure, or from a short period of exposure to lower levels.”

But the asbestos was blown into buildings, into fabrics that people interact with, and though the WTC area has been cleaned up, much of the surrounding area has not and the dusty material was transported in open trucks.

More from the CDC on September 13, 2001. “What are some things that can be done to limit exposure? For the general public, the further an individual is from the site of dust generation, the less exposure there will be to high levels of asbestos. The best advice is to avoid or limit dust exposure as much as possible.”

People were told that the dust was limited to lower Manhattan. That was just not true. Paper was found from the WTC as far east as Long Island. If a piece of paper could travel that far, imagine how far the dust traveled, based on prevailing winds.”

CONCLUSION George Carlin told a joke about how what use to be called “shell shock” is now “post traumatic stress disorder.” His point was adding more words to describe a situation is not always a good thing. We need to call the next phase of world trade center illness what it is - C A N C E R or toxic synergy.

Regular cancer screening and treatment needs to be available at no cost for all exposed.

Research needs to be done on how to effectively deal with these cancers. Consider “Sharks Don't Get Cancer : How Shark Cartilage Could Save Your Life” by William I. Lane and Linda Comac.

Also look at hydrotherapy, medical marijuana, stress reduction and the need for a healthy diet.

I am not a medical professional. I am a tough minded optimist. I lived in New York from ’72-98. I live in Arizona now. I LOVE NEW YORK ETERNALLY (and the tri-state area –it’s a total package).

Caroline Myss in her book “Anatomy of the Spirit : The Seven Stages of Power and Healing” has a concept “Wisdom Erases Karma.” It’s time to wise up on this issue. Please let me know what you think and share this information with those who can help address the upcoming WTC cancer and other health issues crisis.

We are overcoming now.
