“Hands Across the Water, Hands Across the Sky” #DetPetCoke 

Lyrics to Uncle Albert Admiral Halsey, by McCartney & Wings on the Ram album of 1971

We’re so sorry Uncle Albert
We’re so sorry if we caused you any pain
We’re so sorry Uncle Albert
But there’s no one left at home
And I believe I’m gonna rain

We’re so sorry but we haven’t heard a thing all day
We’re so Sorry Uncle Albert
But if anything should happen we’ll be sure to give a ring

We’re so sorry Uncle Albert
But we haven’t done a bloody thing all day
We’re so sorry Uncle Albert
But the kettle’s on the boil and we’re so easily called away

Hand across the water (water)
Heads across the sky
Hand across the water (water)
Heads across the sky
Admiral Halsey notified me
He had to have a berth or he couldn’t get to sea
I had another look and i had a cup of tea and butter pie
(the butter wouldn’t melt so i put it in the pie)

Hand across the water (water)
Heads across the sky
Hand across the water (water)
Heads across the sky

Live a little be a gypsy, get around(get around)
Get your feet up off the ground
Live a little, get around
Live a little be a gypsy, get around(get around)
Get your feet up off the ground
Live a little, get around

Hand across the water (water)
Heads across the sky
Hand across the water (water)
Heads across the sky

Relevance to Detroit & Windsor’s Struggle with the Petroleum Coke piles on the docks of the Port of Detroit

The situation has been being documented from both sides of the Detroit River. The effects felt across the water and floats through the sky.

The weight of the issue floating lead, nickel, selenium, and vanadium onto the streets and into the lungs of the people. It must seem to Koch Carbon that we are merely sitting in a sacrifice zone. It must seem we are so meager and mild that the injustice would slow their progress insignificantly. 

Their recommendation is we move from our homes and flee industrial progress. Flee the heavy hand of capitalism run amok. 

We are left with the belief that our government is owned and ruled by corporate dollars. Regulators looking the other way as children with black tears and swelling throats choke out the question “why?”. Our future has been poisoned irreparably.

Please leave the Tar Sands in the earth where it is found, the destruction it causes ultimately is the death of the earth and most life upon it.

DANGEROUS TIMES - a song for #Detroit #NoEMdet

Lyrics:

Dangerous Times 

There’s terror in our midst          

They could be one of us          

Behind you in the line                

Beside you on the bus             

Wearing camouflage                  

They might be wearing suits      

The terrorists among us               

Might be wearing army boots     

These are dangerous times 

People are afraid 

No looking back at history 

To see how enemies were made 

Some dictators are bad 

Some dictators are good 

That’s a hard one to explain 

But I wish somebody would 

So let us all agree 

Let us not dissent 

Let us not ask questions such as 

Where our freedoms went 

We’ll just fly fly the flag                     

Sing G-d Bless America           

Question people’s patriotism                     

Who don’t join in the hysteria 

These are dangerous times 

And so we lose our rights 

While these terrorists among us 

Do their dirty work at night 

There isn’t time to read 

The contents of the bills 

That Congress votes for anyway 

Up there on The Hill 

There’s terror in our midst 

It wears the good disguise 

Fools alot of people 

They seem like such regular guys 

Rewriting all the rules 

You don’t have any say  

In fact they even count on you 

To look the other way 

There’s terror in our midst 

All over the tv 

It’s what’s behind the words 

That scares the daylights out of me 

The twisting of the facts 

The stretching of the truth 

The terrorists among us 

They manipulate the news 

So let us all agree 

Let us not dissent 

Let us not ask questions such as 

Where our freedoms went 

We’re going to build them schools 

We’re going to build them banks 

We’re going to build them pipelines 

From their fields to our tanks 

My heart goes out to Johnny 

Sent off into war 

They convince him it’s for freedom 

That he’d lay his life down for 

My thoughts are often with him 

I pray he comes home safe 

And I pray for every innocent 

Laid early in the grave 

These are dangerous times 

You might be overheard 

Using one of whatever they’ve defined 

As being a dangerous word 

What if they don’t like your songs? 

What if they don’t like your books? 

What if you fit a profile 

Based solely on your looks? 

They listen to us talk 

They read the things we write 

They watch us all on cameras 

They know where you were last night 

They know where you stopped for gas 

Which magazines you bought 

Back in 1984 

This was all just crazy talk 

So let us all agree 

Let us not dissent 

Let us not ask questions such as 

Where our freedoms went 

Let’s have a look inside those pockets 

Let’s have a look inside that purse 

Let’s have a look inside that glove box 

Or someplace maybe worse 

And who was in your house 

While you weren’t home 

And looked in your computer 

And through everything you own? 

What did they want to know? 

Which websites do you visit? 

What have you learned about them? 

They want to know - what is it? 

So let us all agree 

Let us not dissent 

Let us not ask questions such as 

Where our freedoms went 

We’ll just fly fly the flag 

Sing G-d Bless America 

Question people’s patriotism 

Who don’t join in the hysteria 

Chuck Brodsky: Dangerous Times (by Jenny Durrant Brodsky)

Stephen Boyle, activist for Detroit at #DetroitEM Public Meeting - #NoEMdet

I asked Kevyn Orr to ensure appropriate action was taken against the corporate villains and accomplices within city government whom have allowed the health and well-being of residents to be sacrificed for corporate greed. Piles of petroleum coke have been dumped along the Detroit docks waiting for freighters to pick up the waste byproduct from tar sands processing to heavy crude oil. DCATS - Detroit Coalition Against Tar Sands is working with residents, workers, and communities toward ensuring safety for all. We have identified the substance as hazardous according to the EPA, and find the petroleum exception classification of non-hazardous must be observed in its fully qualified context. This is NOT an inter-refinery transfer of petcoke and such exception is not a qualified exclusion to EPA regulations of the identification and listing of hazardous waste. Read 261.4.12(i). EPA Hazardous Waste # K142 applies to this product. According to 261.4.10 “EPA Hazardous Waste Nos. K060, K087, K141, K142, K143, K144, K145, K147, and K148, and any wastes from the coke by-products processes that are hazardous only because they exhibit the Toxicity Characteristic (TC) specified in section 261.24 of this part when, subsequent to generation, these materials are recycled to coke ovens, to the tar recovery process as a feedstock to produce coal tar, or mixed with coal tar prior to the tar’s sale or refining. This exclusion is conditioned on there being no land disposal of the wastes from the point they are generated to the point they are recycled to coke ovens or tar recovery or refining processes, or mixed with coal tar.”

Please read more at D-CATS.org and join our events, and spread awareness of our posts. We want to reveal researched facts and evidence that Koch Carbon and their conspirators are poisoning innocent people.

Events: June 15 - Community Concerns; June 23-24 - MI March & Rally Against Dirty Energy

The response from Kevyn Orr was under-informed. Stating that proper permits were supplied is false. Wednesday an environmental hearing on Nicholson Terminal’s conditional permit for storage was held and over 30 people were attending. It was kicked back and response from engineering and MDEQ requested by June 21.

TransFlo Terminal was TICKETED and should be padlocked based on continued operations. Something is required by June 24 according to an article found in a Manitoba paper. Sadly this shows how poorly the investigative press of Detroit has been checking this story. The truth is being unraveled daily with new articles coming several months too late - pollution has been dumped in the river and residents/workers continue to be exposed to hazardous materials.

SECOND POINT

Jefferson County Alabama won forgiveness of $1.2 billion against JP Morgan Chase in sewer debt held. Please note in the Bloomberg article that interest-rate swaps offer the lender fees to buy back debt and force early redemption which a municipality under financial difficulty can’t afford. This is the unraveling of derivative deals between Wall Street banks and government borrowers that have been being reported, and protested by Occupy Wall Street.

Mr Orr’s response does not seem to bear enough interest to fully represent the City of Detroit’s interests in correcting the illegal actions of these banks holding the financial instruments of Detroit’s debt. His interest in working with stakeholders on settling debt maintains the legitimacy that this debt should exist.

PEOPLE RISE UP THIS DICTATOR IS NOT WORKING ON OUR BEHALF

Remove Petroleum Coke from Detroit NOW! Public safety above profit! 

Photo found on Facebook.

Keep the Tar Sands in the ground - it is far too dirty to benefit mankind in the short time we now have left to inhabit this planet. We have surpassed 400 ppm, headed farther faster as tar sands processing increases. Safety is 350 ppm or less.

The Koch brothers, Texan Industrialist Billionaire’s worth an estimated US$24 Billion each (They’ve each made an additional $1.5 Billion dollars since I first put this up) and said by Greenpeace to be THE “Climate Science Denial Kingpins” and so do I!

Charles and David Koch both back as you’ll see in this video, a number of so-called “Conservative” or “Libertarian” groups ALL closely associated with the “Tea Party”!

Koch Carbon, owned by the Koch brothers, sell a HIGH Sulphur COKE, un-useable in the steel manufacturing process due to the HIGH sulphur content.

The COKE comes from a eighty year old refinery owned by Marathon Petroleum who’s plant in Detroit processes 28,000 barrels a day already from the Canadian oil sands bitumen which is piling up faster than they can sell it!

They began to refine exports in Detroit, Michigan, directly from the Canadian oil sands of which the Canadians have 79.8 Million tons already stockpiled to be exported to the Koch brothers and Koch Carbon Inc., this has been in place since November 2012.

Even this waste product in the end gets thrown away and where else would you place a three storey high hill covering three football fields of a never ending”Toxic” waste? Detroit of course, right next to the river!

This can be see all the way over in Canada, and the residents of Windsor, Ontario are NOT impressed by this “intelligent” solution for this waste product which their Country produced!

As Third World Countries are lacking Environmental Laws and have Political leaders who are corrupt such as Mexico and China, they still burn this as a fuel, and here’s where Charles and David’s younger brother William steps in.

William Koch, Owner of Oxbow Corporation, one of the World’s largest dealers of petroleum coke is the “Prince of Climate Science Denial”.

Oxbow Corporation sells approximately 11 Million tons of this dirty “Fuel-grade” coke a year! 

William Koch is getting a “free” waste product from across the river in Canada, refining the majority of it, then “on selling” some of it to poor countries for millions of dollars a year and contributing exponentially way beyond any one man’s normal “Carbon Footprint” and getting rewarded for doing that, Where the HELL is the logic in that one?

According to Kerry Satterwaite, a Petroleum Coke analyst at Roskill Information Services based in London “It is worse than a byproduct”, It’s a waste byproduct that is costly and inconvenient to store, but effectively costs NOTHING to produce” which is why the Koch’s are so keen to get the Corporate claws onto it! [slides PDF link, May 23 2013]

Lorne Stockman, who just released a formal study into Petroleum Coke for the Environmental Group Oil Change International said “It’s really the dirtiest residue from the dirtiest oil on earth” 

This video is based from the Henry Rollins letter to Ann Coulter video on Youtube, and if you’ve seen that you’ll see the similarities i’ve incorporated into this video directed towards two of the most Wealthy & Politically connected manipulators of Power, second only to the former Australian Media Baron Rupert Murdoch! 

Along with the help of Jello Biafra, i set about explaining some Truths about Charles and David, and how they use their money to subvert Democracy in America today!

Their younger brother William is NOT far behind them in his “Prince of Climate Science Denial” role. #CharleGKoch #JamesDeWeaver
