The CYANIDE CANARIES - Did they all die?

PVV-US Editorial Commentary The CYANIDE CANARIES – Did they all die? The Dead zone? A fire in an old Kraft building. But it wasn't a Kraft building at the time of the fire. We are not even sure it was a railroad shop. But what we do know is that in that cement building raged a toxic fire for more than a day. Poor Prospect Hamlet, that portion of the People's Park Neighborhood Association. Were they informed? Were they asked to evacuate during the fire? Where were the HazMat's canaries? What burned for over a day? What chemicals was the environment and animals exposed to, and still exposed to? What about the people that lived next to the fire and down wind? And what information was released regarding what the toxic chemical contamination was? Maybe we don't have canaries, but for sure, the many small birds of the area around Kraft Road bridge took flight and for the most park haven't returned. The area has become a 'Dead' Zone,' as some members of the Audubon December nationwide bird count discovered. Are those small birds still our environmental indicators for danger? Many would conclude that they are still the best, even when compared to a Dr Spock's Tricorder. ..Interestingly, a canary in a contaminated mine shaft would have left the mine right away at the first sign of toxicity, but of course they couldn't because the poor bird were in cages. And so it is with people living next to the fire that were not told about the dangers other a possible heat rash. Sadly, these neighbors may be the only messengers of the true nature of the effects of those unknown unrevealed chemicals down the road. “Oh Yeah!By the way, I got cancer and it was caused by the nuclear dust exposure that no-one bothered to warn me about while I was being exposed.” Sound a bit familiar...? So died John Wayne and the film crew, when they stirred up the dust at one of those last of the wild west shoot-em-up movies film sites. What did we do here? We paid a few dollars to the have those Mexicans and Native Americans railroad ballast workers dump the uranium materials on the tracks in the Southeastern Idaho area, and in particular, Pocatello. Of course, no protective masks, no Geiger counters, no telling what it was, But now in this 20th century, we have our high tech chihuahuas and pekingese pets warning us of the subtle dangers. Sorry, Jose, but they can not help you. This nuclear contamination material are odorless, tasteless, and present in many properties throughout Pocatello. Yes indeed, if you haven't figured it out yet, you are the canaries, and of course your pets as well that scratch and sniff the soils. They are dying from it faster than people! If you think is is a bit mean to use a canary for that purpose, how do you measure the meanness of using you children, or your love ones? ..Like the mines, some people are leaving Pocatello, others are staying to get it cleaned up. Which ever you are, use your passion to be angry and let the world know, or use your passion and make the criminals clean-it up! You can begin by getting them out of office. We do have the power to impeach. Us it! It is our right! Use it before we run out of canaries. You can begin if you wish by reading the “Cyanide Canary,” But, remember this: Allen Alias, was not trying to extract 'silver' but the 'Silvery' heavy materials – these reduced to elemental form of the the 60 + Uranium decay chain nuclear materials, and the other toxic heavy metals! For many, is is now too, late. Stop being a canary!
