Toxic tensions in the heart of 'Cancer Alley'

The EPA says this Louisiana town has the nation's highest risk of developing cancer from air toxins. The plant emitting the toxins says otherwise. Locals are outraged.

    They have an elementary school 300 yards from that plant? Why would you send your kids to school there where they have to breathe the air everyday? Pull your kids out now!, save their lives.

    Mossville the town my grandma and grandpa is from and my dad. I miss it I remember before the company came in buying land and all. This exactly where my family came from jack moss was a family member of mine. I remember old Spanish trail before they built the roads over the tracks. I used too play at the community center as a California native who whole family is from Louisiana. Thank you for shedding light on this topic

    My first thought was how, if this community has 20 times above the average cancer rate, we can't, until we have information to the contrary, assume that this Denka plant that is emitting huge amounts of a carcinogenic substance is responsible. At present, the only logical explanation points to this plant.

    Puffy it is kinda funny you talk about following laws about this, as from everything I researched on this plant they are not breaking one law. Not saying the plant is in the right but until they break the law they have the right to run. It looks like NATA changed the category of Chloroprene which is why this is news now instead of years ago. Maybe NATA has it wrong since that parish it operates in has a lower cancer rate then the rest of the country. I don't have the answer but it does sound like the plant is headed in the right direction with reducing emissions.

    I recently went to New Orleans and fuck my asthma was acting up. I don’t wheeze and I heard some wheezing. It was kinda frightening. Once I got home I pretty much felt 80% better but you know it takes a little while to clear out. I can promise there’s something that was happening over there.

    I used to work for a TV network in Europe late 80’s -early 90’s & we watched a video about not only this place in the USA: there are many MANY more! Being a USA citizen I had to sign-a confidentiality document at the USA consulate under oath that I would NEVER disclose these USA “cancer towns” to AMERICAN citizens! 🤢😤😭

    the Obama administration (with Hillary taking the lead) reopened the negotiations. A deal was reached in 2010, and as Schweizer wrote, “Several multimillion-dollar Clinton Foundation donors were at the center of the deal.” In fact, “The Clinton Foundation also failed to disclose major contributions from entities controlled by those involved in the Uranium One deal. Thus, beginning in 2009, the company’s chairman, [Ian] Telfer, quietly started funneling what would become $2.35 million to the Clinton Foundation through a Canadian entity he controlled.”

    The Massimo family of Rome are the owners of the Clerkenwell crime syndicate in London also known as the Adams Family or A-Team for its founders Terry, Tommy, and Patrick Adams. Prince Stefano Massimo lives in London and his mother was Dawn Addams an English actress that married Prince Vittorio Massimo of Roccasecca. Clerkenwell was nicknamed "London's Little Italy" for its large Italian population. The Clerkenwell crime syndicate is involved in murder, extortion, drug trafficking, and human trafficking. They are believed to be involved with the Brink's-Mat Robbery consisting of hundreds of millions in stolen cash, diamonds, and gold. It is possible they murdered the Scottish billionaire Scot Young by throwing him off a building while the media claims it was either suicide or the Russian Mafia. His reported wealth was never accounted for. The Adams crime family are also allied with the Irish Mafia and Arifs Turkish Mafia. Danny Morrow is a member of a Glasgow gang and a ruthless associate of the Clerkenwell Mafia. The Massimo family established an Irish noble branch called the Barons Massy in Limerick where the McCarthy-Dundon crime family operate in. In Ireland there is also the international Rathkeale Rovers crime syndicate. The mafia extort and blackmail politicians, bankers, members of the media, and businessmen. They are covert and use violence. Prince Stefano's mother Dawn Addams remarried to Jimmy White the name White similar to her name Addams relating to the Adams crime family. Alfred Henry White was at one point an enforcer for Charles Sabini an English-Italian gangster located in Clerkenwell. Prince Stefano Massimo lives in London today and his son Prince Valerio Massimo is in business with Duke Edward Spencer Churchill running Auctus Industries an aerospace company. Some of the British nobility are double agents serving the British Crown and covertly working with the Black Nobility of Rome. They are using their mafias to threaten and extort politicians, reporters, bankers, and businessmen. Even white collar criminals fear the Black Hand.
