What kind of government forces people to be exposed to these chemicals against their will?

Why are these companies that produce these chemicals allowed to put them in the ground water, and thereby put them onto other people’s property, and into their bodies?

Isn’t there some kind of libertarian argument against allowing these companies to do this to the population?

The Guardian:

Early life exposure to toxic PFAS “forever chemicals” could impact economic success in adulthood, new first-of-its-kind research suggests.

The Iowa State University and US Census Bureau working paper compared the earnings, college graduation rates, and birth weights of two groups of children – those raised around military installations that had firefighting training areas, and those who lived near bases with no fire training site.

The military began using PFAS-laden firefighting foam in the early 1970s, which frequently contaminated the drinking water supplies in and around bases.

Those who lived in regions with firefighting training areas earned about 1.7% on average less later in life, and showed a graduation rate about 1% lower. Those born between 1981-1988 earned about $1bn less in today’s earnings, or about $1,000 a person on average, compared to those who did not live near the firefighting training sites.

The data also shows lower birth weights among the population – a factor linked to lower economic success later in life.

The findings “highlight the importance of careful scrutiny of novel chemicals”, said Irene Jacz, a study co-author and Iowa State economist.

…

PFAS have been linked to a range of developmental disabilities, including lower birth weight. Many of the chemicals are thought to be neurotoxicants, while early exposure has also been associated with mental health issues later in life, like ADHD.

…

“This study can be seen as a cautionary tale – using chemicals with unknown health risks can have reverberating impacts not fully observed for decades,” the authors wrote.

Of course it lowers all of your outcomes. These chemicals affect the hormone system, which can cause all types of neurological disorders, and make people into obese freaks.

Who is allowing this? Why is it allowed?

When the government was trying to force vaccinate me, I was told that they cared most about my health, and that is why they were going to forcibly inject me with a deadly vax.

What ever happened to their deep concern for my health?

Why am I being forced to drink these poisonous chemicals?

Notice that this is again The Guardian, not the NY Times or the WaPo.

American media will not report on plastics or PFAS or any of the other pollutants in our environment, going into our bodies. Yet they have special verticals with daily articles about “climate change.”

The Guardian:

A new legal petition filed by more than 170 top environmental groups demands that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) begin monitoring for microplastics in drinking water, an essential first step to reining in pollution viewed as one of the nation’s most pressing public health threats.

The scale of microplastic water pollution, the extent to which the substance is lodged throughout human bodies, and the many health implications have come into sharp focus in recent years, but the EPA still has not taken meaningful action, public health advocates say.

The petition pushes the agency to begin monitoring microplastics as an emerging contaminant under the Safe Drinking Water Act in 2026.

…

Microplastics have been found to cross the brain and placental barriers, and those who have them in their heart tissue are twice as likely to have a heart attack or stroke during the next several years.

Independent testing has found them in virtually all drinking water samples tested, and other research estimated the average person ingests about 4,000 particles in drinking water annually.

California last year became the first state to start monitoring for the substance.

Last year, in a rare New York Times article about plastic pollution, they put the article in the global warming section and said that the problem with plastic is that it’s helping global warming.

Everything is global warming and they’re telling you that when you hear people talking about plastic, they’re actually talking about global warming. I’m the number one anti-plastic activist, and I do not believe in global warming. I think it is a complete hoax created by mind-warper Jewish globalists.

If I’m wrong about plastic, you can show me how. This plastic is in our bodies, changing them. The weather 30 years from now, if that were to be a real problem, would not compare to this problem.

The issue is: there is no “solution” for democracy politicians to invest in to stop plastic. They are all heavily invested in “green” warmer technologies, all of which involve creating poisonous chemicals that end up being dumped into your water supply. Windmills and solar panels require “rare earth minerals” and it is impossible to properly dispose of all of these machines they are building. The whole thing is just a massive money scam, and a Jewish globalist project to force global integration. It is not real at all, and the fact that they won’t use nuclear proves it’s not real.

Microplastics have touched almost every living thing on the planet. But we can make an impact in tackling this problem by urging the EPA to monitor microplastics in drinking water – and that’s exactly what our legal team is doing right now!

This isn’t a real victory.

Most of these chemicals are still going to be allowed.

It is simply that the issue has gotten very big, and people are becoming disgruntled about the fact that the government allows corporations to poison the entire population. So, the government has to act like they are doing something.

There are tens of thousands of these chemicals, and the government is banning a few. All of the ones they are banning can be immediately replaced with virtually identical chemicals.

The Guardian:

The US Environmental Protection Agency has set legally enforceable drinking water limits for a group of the most dangerous PFAS compounds, marking what public health advocates hailed as “historic” rules that will dramatically improve the safety of the nation’s water.

PFAS, known as “forever chemicals”, are ubiquitous in the environment and thought to be contaminating drinking water for over 200 million people across the US. Any exposure to some highly toxic varieties of the compounds is considered a health and cancer risk.

The agency’s action marks the first time in 27 years it has put in place new drinking water limits for contaminants, and the rules are part of the Biden administration’s broader effort to rein in PFAS pollution.

“Americans have been drinking contaminated water for decades, but today’s action will finally get these toxic chemicals out of our water,” said Melanie Benesh, vice-president for government affairs at Environmental Working Group, which tracks PFAS water pollution across the globe, in a statement.

Why did the government ever allow these companies to put poisonous chemicals in our water?

They care so much about our health. After all, they banned smoking and force vaccinated us to save us from the flu.

They love us so much, and care so much for our health, it just doesn’t make sense that they allow us to be poisoned simply because these corporations paid them.

Officials said the rules will reduce exposure for 100 million people and help prevent thousands of illnesses, including cancers. Michael Regan, the EPA administrator, said the rule is the most important action the agency has ever taken on PFAS. “The result is a comprehensive and life-changing rule, one that will improve the health and vitality of so many communities across our country,” said Regan, who will announce the rule in Fayetteville, North Carolina, on Wednesday.

PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are a class of about 15,000 chemicals often used to make products resistant to water, stains and heat. They are called “forever chemicals” because they do not naturally break down, and are linked to cancer, liver problems, thyroid issues, birth defects, kidney disease, decreased immunity and other serious health problems.

After years of issuing health advisories, the EPA on Wednesday set maximum contaminant levels (MCLs), which are the highest level at which a contaminant can be in water. Critics say PFAS’ dangers have been known for years and the EPA has been slow to respond.

“Slow to respond” doesn’t even begin to describe what has happened.

Men have half the testosterone and less than half of the sperm count of their grandfathers. This problem has been understood for decades. It was never actually a mystery.

But the government has had an absolute policy of never doing anything about this.

No one should be drinking tap water.

It’s actually insane.

If you’re poor, then get money, nigger.

Get money and drink clean water, it whole foods.

The Guardian:

About 70 million people are exposed to toxic PFAS “forever chemicals” in US drinking water, new testing from the Environmental Protection Agency has found.

But the testing completed to date has only checked about one-third of the nation’s public water systems, meaning the agency is on pace to find over 200 million people are exposed, or at least 60% of the US population.

The figure does not include private wells, and the federal government previously estimated about 8 million people who draw water from those are exposed to PFAS.

The EPA’s continuing testing is the first comprehensive nationwide assessment aimed at understanding the scale of PFAS contamination in US drinking water. So far, the government figures match up with independent estimates that found about 200 million people drink tainted water, and the widespread contamination cuts across geographic and socioeconomic boundaries.

…

The chemicals are linked to cancer, birth defects, liver disease, thyroid problems, decreased immunity, hormone disruption and a range of other serious health issues. PFAS are dubbed “forever chemicals” because they do not naturally break down, and they also easily move through the environment, often ending up in drinking water.

The entire environment is poisoned. Everything is poisoned. The government will not regulate it. The government claims that these corporations have a right to put these chemicals in your body.

That’s the same government that claims you don’t have a right to access uncensored AI, and if someone tries to release an uncensored AI, they will regulate it.

It’s just retarded to even talk about government policy at this point.

Nothing is going to change until the empire falls.

The best you can do is try to keep these chemicals out of your body, so you don’t become fat, gay, and retarded.

The Guardian:

At least 11 new kinds of PFAS “forever chemicals” are polluting the water around a North Carolina Chemours plant that manufactures the toxic substances, new research finds.

The discovery, made by researchers using a novel testing method, is evidence that the environment around the plant is more contaminated with PFAS than regulators have found, the researchers said.

“This means there are a lot more PFAS that people are being exposed to than they know,” said Erin Baker, a University of North Carolina PFAS researcher who co-authored the peer-reviewed paper published on Wednesday in the journal Science. “That’s because [regulators’ testing] is missing the PFAS because no one knows how to target them.”

PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are a class of about 15,000 compounds most frequently used to make products water-, stain- and grease-resistant. They have been linked to cancer, birth defects, decreased immunity, high cholesterol, kidney disease and a range of other serious health problems. They are dubbed “forever chemicals” because most do not degrade in the environment.

A 2019 state consent order required Chemours to rein in its Fayetteville Works’ site pollution for PFAS compounds produced or released from the facility. But most PFAS tests can only identify a limited number of PFAS.

Chemours, which was spun off from DuPont in 2015 to shield the latter from legal liability, is thought to be responsible for contaminating the air, soil, crops and water across potentially hundreds of square miles of south-east North Carolina with PFAS waste, according to public health advocates, regulators and researchers.

Many residents allege it has sickened people on a wide scale; a judge recently allowed more than 100,000 residents to move forward with a class-action PFAS lawsuit against DuPont and Chemours and the United Nations has been urged to investigate alleged human rights violations over the company’s pollution.

A ridiculous, moronic, and intolerable situation.

Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. We are spending trillions fighting a non-pollutant, while everyone is drinking deadly poison, and there is zero attempt to even prevent the poison from being pumped into the water.

Why is the US poisoning its own military?

One of many mysteries.

Many mysteries.

The Guardian:

Plumes of toxic PFAS “forever chemicals” flowing from at least 245 US military bases are contaminating or threatening to pollute drinking water for nearby communities, and hundreds more are likely at risk across America, a new Department of Defense report finds.

The number of communities threatened by the military’s pollution is likely to increase as further more investigations are carried out. The defense department has only looked at about one-third of more than 700 facilities suspected of having contaminated the ground with PFAS.

While the report acknowledges the pollution, it does not clarify which drinking water sources are polluted, how high PFAS levels are in the polluted water systems, or provide information about the plumes’ locations.

The sheer number of bases and the lack of clarity is “shocking”, said Scott Faber, the vice-president of government affairs at the Environmental Working Group non-profit, which tracks military PFAS pollution.

“A good neighbor would let you know that their use of PFAS was the reason your water was contaminated, and a bad neighbor would only tell you: ‘Hey, a plume is heading in your direction,’” Faber said.

The defense department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Yeah, it’s a hard thing to comment on.

“Why are you poisoning your own military???”

“Hmmmmmmm…. I’m gonna have to get back to you on that one.”

A new study by scientists at John Hopkins University found 15 different types of PFAS chemicals in bottled water. The testing found “purified” bottled water had “significantly less PFAS” compared to “spring” water.https://t.co/PnyGmaYRMO

You can’t actually see plastic, by the way. Not the plastic that is a threat to your health. A plastic bottle in the river or ocean is gross to look at, but that’s not the problem. The problem is that those bottles leak microscopic pieces of plastic into the water, and those pieces go inside of your body. Once they are inside of your body, your body believes they are estrogen. They act, inside of your body, as an estrogen.

This causes all types of problems.

Most obviously, it causes men to start behaving like they’ve been injected with estrogen. You see that everywhere, of course – “masculinity” is almost nonexistent in the modern world. This is really the primary reason why modern men are so cowardly, weak, fat, and weird-looking.

It changes men’s bodies, which changes their spirits. They become pathetic cowards with low morality and no fighting spirit. It’s also associated with a lack of a belief in God.

We know that God tells us to seek the truth, and if you know the truth about plastic, PFAS, and other petrochemical endocrine disruptors, you start avoiding it.

The information is very available. This page from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences is written at a 3rd grade level, and explains all the basics.

You can’t avoid all of it. You’ll never be the man your grandfather was.

Sorry.

Unless you want to go live in the woods – like, for real – you’re always going to be invaded by some of these chemicals. But there is an entire list of things you can do to avoid them, which most men won’t do.

This is why you have all of this anger and aggression from modern men. They are emotionally unstable. The ones who try to act masculine think that means acting out in an emotionally unhinged way.

It’s virtually impossible to even deal with. These men act like such faggots. You can’t even have male friends; they want you to coddle them emotionally.

They act like women. They look like mutants.

Most men want to relate to other men like women relate to each other. All my male friends are lunatic bodybuilders obsessed with avoiding endocrine disruption. I can call them faggots and speak my mind straightforwardly and they will be like “alright, bro.” The other men I’ve interacted with throw emotional fits and hold grudges and don’t speak their mind freely. It becomes impossible to form normal male bonds.

We are in an absolute crisis here. It’s spiritual, but the body and the soul are in a very important relationship with each other. We believe this in Christianity.

You need to take this seriously.

The Guardian:

About 90% of water samples taken over the last 10 years from the Great Lakes contain microplastic levels that are unsafe for wildlife, a new peer-reviewed paper from the University of Toronto finds.

About 20% of those samples are at the highest level of risk, but the study’s authors say the damage can be reversed if the US and Canada quickly act.

“Ninety per cent is a lot,” said Eden Hataley, a University of Toronto researcher and study co-author. “We need to answer some basic questions by monitoring … so we can quantify risks to wildlife and humans.”

The Great Lakes provide drinking water to over 40 million people in the US and Canada, hold about 90% of the US’s freshwater, and are home to 3,500 species of plants and animals.

…

Though myriad microplastic sources exist, wastewater treatment plants seem to be a major Great Lakes basin contributor, as they are elsewhere, Hataley said. Pollution from microfibers that come off clothing in washing machines are thought to be another common source, as are preproduction plastic pellets used in manufacturing. She noted concerning levels of microplastics have been found in sport fish consumed by humans and beer brewed with Great Lakes water.

But the consequences for human health are unknown, Hataley said.

“We know we are being exposed, but what that means in terms of harm or what’s a safe level – we have no idea, and that’s going to take more research,” she said.

This is a very, very real environmental crisis.

Aside from the effects on men’s emotions, it’s dropping the sperm. It’s also obviously related to cancers. And the fact that it makes men fat (at least by their early to mid-30s) causes every other negative health outcome. It’s also almost certainly affecting IQ.

And we haven’t even said what it does to women. I’m not going into that now, but briefly, it’s why women are fat and aggressive. The endocrine system is a delicate balance. Anyone who has been around steroids knows this – if you inject testosterone, your body overcompensates by producing extra estrogen. Just so, women flooded with estrogen will end up producing extra testosterone. Western women are also literally taking estrogen pills, in the form of “birth control,” so they’ve got all kinds of problems, and have literally been driven over the edge by these disruptions (women are not emotionally stable to begin with).

I’ve published guides on how to avoid these disruptors as best as possible while living in the modern world. You can go find those. But it’s probably time to do it again, and maybe put it in the sidebar. I think I talk too much about the Ukraine war, and not enough about what men should be doing for themselves.

You know: I’ve been cursed to see everything as it is. This would sound like a blessing, but it’s really not. Anyway, I am not a genius. I’m just able to see the truth of things. So I can comment on anything, and I get distracted and want to talk about the wars or the politics. I think I should write about those things, but probably, priority should come to giving people information about things they can actually do something about.

The hormone problem is something you can do something about. Food, water, soap, perfume, deodorant, beer, receipts – all these things are polluting you (pornography/chronic masturbation is also destroying your hormone system, by the way, and not exercising is not helping either). You can cut it in half rather easily. And then with some effort, you can cut the remaining 50% in half. Ideally, you want to get your exposure down to 15% of the average freak, and then overcome that 15% by doing things that increase testosterone (getting enough sun, retaining semen, doing strength training).

Again, you could find this information yourself. But I will put it together for you. I will build the ultimate guide.

They’re not just finding out about this now.

We’ve been talking about PFAS since the site was founded in 2013, and Andrew Anglin was talking about it before that.

The easy explanation is that they don’t care if you get poisoned. But the more you look into it, it actually starts to seem like they’re poisoning you on purpose.

This is all of course while they’re telling you the world is going to end because of the greenhouse effect.

The Guardian:

Drinking water consumed by millions of Americans from hundreds of communities spread across the United States is contaminated with dangerous levels of toxic chemicals, according to testing data released Thursday by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

The data shows that drinking water systems serving small towns to large cities – from tiny Collegeville, Pennsylvania, to Fresno, California – contain measurable levels of so-called “forever chemicals”, a family of durable compounds long used in a variety of commercial products but that are now known to be harmful.

The water of as many as 26 million Americans is contaminated, according to an analysis of the new EPA data performed by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), a Washington DC based nonprofit.

Studies have linked the chemicals to cancers, immunodeficiencies, reproductive harms and developmental effects in children.

Scientists and environmental advocates have increasingly warned about the harms of chemicals like perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) in recent decades, leading to an agreement between the the EPA and chemical manufacturers such as DuPont and 3M to phase out PFOA by 2015.

However, lasting pollution of the environment and human bodies with forever chemicals continues. Studies show nearly all Americans have some level of PFOA, PFOS, and similar chemicals, scientifically known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), circulating in their bodies. Additional analyses calculate that hundreds of millions of Americans are likely exposed through drinking water contamination.

But, the EPA’s testing program, part of a 27-year-old effort to sample the nation’s drinking water for unregulated chemicals, offers the most robust look into exactly which communities are polluted. The data released Thursday is the first round of a program that will test most US water system serving more than 3,300 Americans for 29 different forever chemicals, along with the metal lithium, over the next three years.

This first batch, which analyzed data from about 2,000 systems across the country, already spells trouble.

According to the data, 170 water systems found some level of PFOS in their drinking water, while 156 found PFOA. That means about one-in-10 drinking water systems contain the two most notoriously dangerous forever chemicals.

When including all 29 forever chemicals, the data confirm that the drinking water of approximately 26 million Americans is contaminated, according to the EWG non profit. The data is also “consistent” with a 2020 study from the group that calculated more than 200 million Americans could have some form of PFAS in their drinking water.

“For decades, millions of Americans have unknowingly consumed water tainted with PFAS,” said Scott Faber, senior vice-president for government affairs at EWG said. “The new testing data shows that escaping PFAS is nearly impossible.”

The Guardian reports this.

You’d have a hard time finding it in the WaPo/NYT.

I’m sure if you googled it, you’d find something from those outlets, but they do not do consistent updates.

American publications cover this up on purpose. So either they’re being paid by corporations that profit from lax environmental laws to cover it up or they want you to be poisoned.

Or, mayhaps, they think a real environmental crisis would distract from the warming hoax?

If you don’t think they should be allowed to do that, you’re a Chinese agent or a Russian or whatever.

Pure evil.

New York Post:

Chemical manufacturer 3M Co. will pay at least $10.3 billion to settle lawsuits over contamination of many U.S. public drinking water systems with potentially harmful compounds used in firefighting foam and a host of consumer products, the company said Thursday.

The deal would compensate water providers for pollution with per- and polyfluorinated substances, known collectively as PFAS — a broad class of chemicals used in nonstick, water- and grease-resistant products such as clothing and cookware.

Described as “forever chemicals” because they don’t degrade naturally in the environment, PFAS have been linked to a variety of health problems, including liver and immune-system damage and some cancers.

The compounds have been detected at varying levels in drinking water around the nation. The Environmental Protection Agency in March proposed strict limits on two common types, PFOA and PFOS, and said it wanted to regulate four others. Water providers would be responsible for monitoring their systems for the chemicals.

The agreement would settle a case that was scheduled for trial earlier this month involving a claim by Stuart, Florida, one of about 300 communities that have filed similar suits against companies that produced firefighting foam or the PFAS it contained.

3M chairman Mike Roman said the deal was “an important step forward” that builds on the company’s decision in 2020 to phase out PFOA and PFOS and its investments in “state-of-the-art water filtration technology in our chemical manufacturing operations.” The company, based in St. Paul, Minnesota, will halt all PFAS production by the end of 2025, he said.

The settlement will be paid over 13 years and could reach as high as $12.5 billion, depending on how many public water systems detect PFAS during testing that EPA has required in the next three years, said Dallas-based attorney Scott Summy, one of the lead attorneys for those suing 3M and other manufacturers.

The payment will help cover costs of filtering PFAS from systems where it’s been detected and testing others, he said.

Is this what you wanted?

Is this the kind of country you want to live in?

Personally, I would rather be Chinese.

I don’t think rich people should be allowed to poison the population with literally no consequences.

So the 3M company paying billions of dollars over years for the damage they are doing to Americas water supply with “ forever chemicals” won’t do us very much if we are all poisoned from their actions. Wake up America to big corporations and their greed and demands!

It’s not toxic, goy.

But just to be on the safe side, start collecting tap water now so you don’t get cancer from this poison.

CBS Philadelphia:

The Philadelphia Water Department says tap water is safe to drink in the city through 11:59 p.m. Monday after a chemical spill in Bristol Township, Bucks County.

The water department, though, is warning residents should be prepared for some problems Tuesday.

“Based on updated hydraulic modeling and the latest sampling, we are confident tap water from the Baxter plant will remain safe to drink through 11:59 p.m. Monday, March 27,” the water department wrote in a tweet.

The water department says the updated time is based on when the Baxter Drinking Water Treatment Plant will take river water to move through treatment and water mains before it reaches customers.

The water concerns do not affect the entire city. The areas in orange, east of the Schuylkill River, would be the potentially impacted areas. Those in the green, west of the Schuylkill, are not impacted because they receive water from a different source.

The spill of a latex product occurred Friday night in Bristol Township at Otter Creek. Between 8,000 and 12,000 gallons of acrylic latex polymer were released by a chemical processing plant.

The company that owns the plant, Trinseo PLC, is blaming the spill on equipment failure.

Officials say acrylic latex polymer is non-toxic to humans.

Dr. Arthur Frank, an environmental public health expert from Drexel University, says the material is probably so diluted it won’t be dangerous to the water system.

Dr. Tim Bechtel, a professor of geoscience at Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster, echoed a similar sentiment.

Bechtel says the city’s recommendation is appropriate and cautious, and that families should not panic but rather plan ahead until the threat passes.

“Collect city water now,” Bechtel said, “and have a nice stockpile of water that you will be drinking and cooking with.”

The earlier advisory was issued out of an abundance of caution, the water department said.

We live in a cyberpunk dystopia, with these corporations ruling over us and poisoning us and the only people with any quality of life being those willing to serve the corporate overlords.

The unbelievable part is that these corporations claim to believe in communism, and want to change the weather and exterminate white people. That’s not how it was in cyberpunk fiction.
