The Environmental Protection Agency insists it needed to take over a gold mine in Colorado. But — now that it’s caused a massive pollution spill — the agency refuses to furnish proof that it ever needed control of the mine.
Not only did the EPA coerce the mine owner to grant it access on threat of a $35,000 per day fine and then fail to take common sense precautions to check the water pressure behind the Gold King mine when it began removing debris from the portal, now the agency is hiding the data related to the before and after effects of the spill.
On Friday Breitbart News posed eight specific questions to the EPA regarding the pollutant levels and exfiltration rates at the Gold King mine and the Red and Bonita mine during the period before and after the August 5 spill into the Cement Creek and Animas River in Colorado. The agency failed to offer any response by our Monday evening story deadline.

There has got to be more to the story. I think the government' has a LOT more they're hiding, on this one. Threatening to bankrupt someone by levying outrageous fines on them if they don't give them access to his personal property, the mine?
ReplyDeleteThere is far more going on behind the scenes, than us tribute-paying peons will ever know. And we are forced to finance it all. Without "right if redress".
