F.O.G.

Hey guys...EW is over at FOG2...she's still banned here and looking for updates. Might wanna pop in and let her know she's not alone.

I was thinking about this and was trying to remember this quote when you wrote this the other night it came to me about 20 minutes ago (too much noggin' info lately caused a overload lol)

Joseph Goebbels said in 1945: “There will come a day, when all the lies will collapse under their own weight, and truth will again triumph.”

Of course this guy was a sicko in every sense of the word and what he did to his own family unimaginable and it's weird it came to me today of all days since who he was associated with [link to en.wikipedia.org] 'sick f---' (scuze the language) best describes him but the saying does hold merit.

I would love to read it..I dont see why not!

Thanks Jazzed I popped over and left her a note

I don't think there are copyright issues but I'll post it in a series of shorter clips

From my Brother, George Smith on April 20, 2013.

I was finally given access to a computer this morning for a while. Jean and I are ok. Jean has no injuries and I am sore. I have multiple cuts and abrasions, I have a fairly large chunk out of my nose, but I am not worried about the scar. I am truly blessed for all the love, support and prayers you have all given me and it is all truly appreciated. It is only thru the grace of God that I survived. The entire roof over me collapsed. It is indescribable, the force that kind of explosion has. In the blink of an eye, I heard a tremendously loud boom, was knocked to the ground and covered in rubble. I am happy to say that we got all 127 residents out, and only lost one at the evacuation center, he was a very elderly, in the 90s and was very ill when this happened.

I normally would have gone straight to the fire and Jean normally doesn’t ride with me on EMS calls. By the grace of God, something told her to come with me. When I saw how huge the fire was, I knew I had to lock down the nursing home in place, with the toxic chemicals, I was moving the residents from the hall close to the fire, shut out all a/c and put wet towels under the doors. 90% of the residents on that side had been moved to the other side. Jean was in my truck when the explosion went off and she said she thought the truck was going to roll over, it broke all the windows on the blast side and the windshield, and messed up doors and hood.

continued - When I managed to get out of the nursing home, I couldn’t connect to a cell phone tower and our repeater system was blown up, so no ambulance radio, I went to the helicopter bay because they have a satellite phone and that is how we contacted the outside world. I managed to get to my son. It is by the grace of God that he is alive. He was downstairs in his house sitting on the couch in front of his bay window. Something told him to go upstairs to his game room. Before he set down upstairs, the blast went off. The force of the explosion forced hundreds of shards of glass into that couch and he would have been killed. GOD was truly beside us protecting us that night.

My house and clinic have severe extensive damage. All the sheet rock in the ceiling has fallen and there is 6 inches of insulation over everything. All doors and windows have blown up, same for office. Yesterday, ATF completely locked down the half of the town near the explosion and NOBODY can get to it. I was able to get my Ford fusion out from the ruble and it is what I am driving for now. It turned very cold and rainy the next morning, so that did not help our cause. Right now we are just going day to day.

As you know I have been inundated with press, somehow they got my cell phone number and my sons. When I won’t answer, they call my son. He was on CBS Good Morning Thursday. I have been on CNN with Piers Morgan by phone, live with Anderson Cooper Thursday night, Good Morning America Thursday morning, but they could not get a satellite signal, so it was taped. I have talked to BBC, The Chinese news network and Taiwan news. If any of you get New York Times there should be an article Sunday, I had to spell Osteopathic for them, but hope they will list that I am a DO, same for San Antonio Express.

continued -
We are all suffering, all of the 12 deceased EMS and Firemen were personal friends. We had a very tearful body recovery, we were not allowed at the site, full hazmat suits were required, as everybody was found, and honor guard of firemen in hazmat suits stood guard over it. Each one was placed in a body bag and draped with a flag, they were brought out one at a time, with about 50 firemen standing at attention saluting them as they were taken to the refer truck, bagpipes were playing amazing grace the whole time. We will have some very tearful funerals over the next few days.

I did critical incident stress debriefing yesterday with my EMS people. There was an EMT basic class going on when it happened, they only had 2 more classed to go. We were not able to communicate, but my EMS people did well, talk about baptism under fire. We evacuated over 200 injured enough to take to the hospital, many more walking wounded, had to change triage sites 3 times--due to more explosive potential and this was all done in less than two hours and WE ARE ALL VOLUNTEERS. I hope I have not rambled too much and excuse the spelling errors, I am using a borrowed laptop. Jean and I are staying at a friend’s house. Just got a call from one of the Regents at Texas A and M University and they are trying to locate a portable building for me to see patients in so I can get back to work. Again I am truly BLESSED to be alive and to have such good friends in and out of the Osteopathic Profession. Please continue to pray for us as we try to recover from this truly disastrous situation. GOD BLESS you all.

End

Wow! TG thanks for sharing that how powerful. They seem to have been forgotten by many with all that happened. My prayers for your friend, family and town

Thanks AK, I don't actually know them, its a friend of a friend, but we are all connected. And, thanks for the prayers, we know they need them, the people of the area are devastated.

I just had to share this with you guys. Got a phone call from my youngest son and he just made the team mascot for Alabama! He is already going in the fall on an academic scholarship, but will get one for this too. He was at the A Day game today and they let him know after the game that he made it. I was watching on ESPN2. He is my baby and I am so very proud of him. Roll Tide!!!

Oh my, now I just have to hope that the true doom holds off. I don't mention these things to him because he has worked so hard at an IB school, and he is so excited about the future. He has had enough doom already when the tornadoes hit in 2011 (lost everything he owned), and then lost his best friend in the January tornado in 2012. He is very spiritual, but still I can't lay the issues we discuss here on him. He is 18, and I hope life to go.

Thank you guys for letting me share this!

He's got to be a GLP'er lol

Awww. That is AWESOME V! How wonderful. You Go Proud Mama!

Thank You AKO!!! It was so emotionally hard, as a mother, to let him stay in that IB school as it is two hours away. I only see him on some weekends, but it is things like this, and the scholarship that helps me believe that I did the right thing. It is difficult not to be emotionally selfish sometimes. Lol

Oh wow, just read a PAW that was talking about a plague that was caused by nano-somethings and then you posted that!!! You trying to freak me out girl-friend? lol Seriously, I did just read it. Trying to figure out which one it was as I already removed it from my Kindle. Yup, I really read that much.

Oh that is wonderful, Vesper! Congrats to you and yours! What an accomplished young man it sounds like you have. Truly a blessing.

Thank you for sharing that TG! Wish that would have gotten a lot more attention! He is very lucky and blessed indeed. Sounds like he jumped right into action with containing the toxicity from entering!

Thank you again!

Thought I should post it here this is serious shit!
Chicago almost became a glowing radioactive sister city to Fukushima.

Yesterday we broke the story of the La Salle Nuclear plant having to perform a Fukushima style direct-to-atmosphere venting of the primary nuclear containment due to a lightening strike. As we indicated at the time, the amount of radioactivity released is unknown because the radiation monitors were not on a backup power supply.
(How Friggin' unbelievably convenient)

Today in a follow on NRC event report, we find out that failures in the emergency cooling system resulted in the last ditch cooling attempt of directly venting the radioactive drywell to the atmosphere. The severity of those failures are underreported in the NRC event report, because it reads no different than if it the failures had been discovered during testing instead of being found out in the midst of a real life emergency resulting in the last ditch cooling effort of venting.

We explain the situation in more detail in the video, but gist of the analysis is as follows.

Lightning took out power to both reactors.
Backup generators kicked on, but powering everything would overload them
The systems which measure how much radiation is being vented from the plant did not have power.
The reactors lost cooling capability.
Automatic emergency cooling kicked in.
The automated emergency cooling on Unit 2 was failing.
As a last ditch effort, Unit 2 primary containment was vented to the atmosphere.
The venting cooled and dropped the pressure in Unit 2 enough to compensate for the failing cooling.
The camel was down to its last failing straw and only fractured its back; had it broken, Chicago would be aglow.
Radioactive contamination did occur.
