Hungary Toxic Sludge Catastrophe Reminiscent of BP Gulf Oil Spill Disaster
Here’s the top headline on Yahoo! News on Thursday, October 7, 2010 regarding the Toxic Sludge Disaster in Hungary:
Scientists say heavy metal in sludge not dangerous (AP)
And here’s the proof for those who are as incredulous as we were about such an irresponsible and utterly uninformed scientific proclamation:
Many of us have come to view the Associated Press as a reincarnation of PRAVDA during the heyday of the Soviet Union. If you followed many of the AP headlines during the BP Oil Spill, like this one below, you will see a similar pattern of serious disinformation and cover-up for their corporate sponsors. They really do need to be called out from now on for this well-established pattern of disseminating patently false information.
Remember this headline which appeared on April 23th after the Deepwater Horizon sank in the Gulf of Mexico:
Coast Guard: No oil leaking from sunken rig (USA Today)
Again, for those who disbelieve such a headline ever appeared in USA Today, here it is:
Now back to the Hungary Toxic Spill, they’re telling us that:
The AP, on the other hand is telling us:
For the uninitiated, it is quite difficult to find a heavy metal that isn’t dangerous in the concentrations that have been reported by those who are familiar with waste reservoirs such as this one. Therefore to make such a worldwide claim is quite shocking and disturbing. Heavy metals such as mercury, arsenic, lead, nickel, cadmium, thallium and plutonium have all demonstrated their highly toxic and, in many cases, dangerously poisonous effects in living organisms.
“In medical usage, heavy metals are loosely defined[1] and include all toxic metals irrespective of their atomic weight: “heavy metal poisoning” can possibly include excessive amounts of iron, manganese, aluminium, mercury, cadmium, or beryllium (the fourth lightest element) or such a semimetal as arsenic.” Per Wikipedia – Heavy metal (chemistry)
The Pictures Speak For Themselves And Need No Commentary From The MSM
Let’s take a look at some recent photos which were taken around the site of the toxic spill in Hungary:
As for the harm to life, the pictures tell the real story as they did for the BP Oil Spill.
Just how safe is the area, even after the “Scientists” reported via the aforementioned headline through their propaganda organ known as the AP?!
Scientists say heavy metal in sludge not dangerous (AP)
Once again, we’ll let the photos tell the real story.
Do you remember the AP article on May 4th with the headline:
Paranoia, Anxiety Grow Over Gulf Coast Oil Spill (AP)
Many of us found this suggestion of paranoia about the oil and dispersant coming ashore and doing its damage so over the top that, well, Yahoo! News disappeared the article the very same day. How do you spell - I N D E F E N S I B L E ?
Back to Hungary, the disruption of everyday life is so overwhelming that the Prime Minister of Hungary, upon viewing the environmental havoc, was quoted as follows: “The prime minister called the worst-hit area a total write-off, saying he saw “no sense” in rebuilding in the same location.”
“The whole settlement should be bulldozed into the ground,” bellowed resident Janos Potza. “There’s no point for anyone to go back home.” (Per AP article link below)
Most are unable to tell just how large this reservoir was. The earth-moving equipment pictured below gives the viewer the proper perspective.
Just how telling is the title of this photo-documentary?
