EPA Caught Lying About Emissions

More Bush Administration Corruption

It never stops. As long as I've been alive, I have never experienced an administration where corruption was uncovered on a DAILY BASIS!

Now a report comes out accusing the Environmental (Protection?) Agency and certain states of intentionally misrepresenting toxic emissions into the air by corporations. Emissions of two particularly dangerous chemicals, benzene and butadiene, are actually FIVE TIMES HIGHER than was reported.

The EPA report goes way beyond slight inaccuracies. They have under-reported emissions by a whopping 330 million pounds.

My guess is, as usual, nothing will happen to either the polluters who violate standards or ANY EPA official.

How unaccountable can an administration be for their actions? I guess we have four more months to find out. Of course that doesn't include the years it will take to find out about the hundreds, maybe thousands of other illegal transgressions the administration has gotten away with.

But the real revelations will come, (environmentally speaking) when whole communities and large wildlife populations come down with a myriad of diseases related to the massive overpolluting that has gone on in this country for the last four years.

2. All Chimperial Proclamatiuons are LIES! All Chimperial Organizations

are equivalent to Soviet Organizations.

EPA has the Current Mission of Lying to Us about Poor Air Quality, as they lied to the rescue workers after 9/11.

FDA protects the beef industry and silences both critics and people bringing complaints.

Department of Justice has the Current Mission of purposfully tanking investigation of Imperial Family and Freinds, bringing disporportionate punishment on Enemies of the State, and let's not forget drawing up legal justifications for Torture, a la the Nazis.

And so on...

Just remember that you no longer live in the Free World and recognize accordingly where you DO live.

4. I hate to correct you since I'm not exactly

sure of the timeline, but I believe that the EPA did inform shrubbie that there were toxins at WTC. He chose to ignore the parts he didn't want anyone to hear. Then the dunderhead-in-chief replaced the head of the EPA with someone more friendly toward corporate Amerika. I believe the former EPA director was a woman who I understand wanted to spend more time with her family.:shrug:

Edit to say: chimpie is even more dastardly than your post implies!
