so free ministries is the company that leak the
toxic chemicals into the water supply in West Virginia in Elk River
and to give you a sense of how toxic those chemicals were
let me quote here from the West Virginia Department of Health
and Human Resources out what those chemicals could do was
a quote cause quote severe burning in throat
severe i irritation non stop bombing
that sounds fun trouble breathing more severe skin irritation such as skin
blistering
New York Times has a 122 people went to the hospital nurse you know now
for five straight days nobody could shower the water drink the water
use the water to prepare food it was an absolute disaster for the three hundred
thousand people that were affected
well now we find out that of course freedom industries is connected to
Koch Industries so with me beaucoup
course now they don't own it they don't own it let's be clear about this Josh
work
her saying is director business development for we demand mysteries
any says about a deal they struck couple years back about five years back
at he says georgia pacific's long-standing technical expertise in R&D
capabilities combined with the industry knowledge skill and reputation
our freedom industries will provide an excellent platform for growth and
development %uh
new technology to meet existing and future customer demands
we're proud to be part of Georgia Pacific strategy as a global supplier
mining reagents in multiple market segments
georgia-pacific owned by Koch Industries
so what these guys do is they use these chemicals to clean the coal
or Koch Industries
so up of course at there had to be a connection I'm gonna get back to the
actual
owners in a second but I understand that this is exactly why Koch Industries
argues for deregulation throughout the country so
whether it's themselves or their business partners like free ministries
what they want to do his deregulate so they pay less the freedom industries
does not deal with any regulation as was the case you remember the reason
we found out that it they had not been inspected since 1991 and the reason that
we had the leak in the first place
is because if you make chemicals you are regulated
but if you store chemicals as they were doing you are not regulated
and we are not regulated at some point you cut corners
and guess what seventy-five hundred gallons of toxic chemicals
flow into the river but that's exactly what cream industries and Koch
Industries what
they want to be able to cut corners they wanted to be cheaper mystery
cheaper for freedom ministries well it's free if
a cheaper for Koch Industries dead they're not argue for deregulation
because some some libertarian
ideology it's not like the red eye and ran their word
all man what I think about that that's a good point in that was struggling
know they're doing for their bottom line and the wind up hurting your family
don't give a damn about
by meeting the coke geyser sketchy way to get a lotta guys
who run freedom industries or the guy who founded it is that cocoa powder is
carl s Lee Kennedy the second beeper
I so Watson story well the church Charleston Gazette
explains freedom industries the company responsible contaminating the water
300,000
Khan a while Valley residents was founded by a two-time convicted felon
and benefited from two 2009 federal stimulus
so what kinda phone was he well
purcell of course he didn't pay his taxes another classic move by
conservatives
by his god damn takers you know I don't even pay neat airport is ever going to
the bay taxes
already would you get busted for are not paying taxes it you know how you're
supposed to
withhold from your employees for their social security medicare then give it to
the government so that those
people could have social security medicare when they retire he withheld
from employees
and put it in his pocket convicted felon because other
okay and I was for over a million dollars
so what was the second commission for drug dealer
to *** dealer okay now
he answered that long for that because he ratted out fellow *** dealers
any found a better acted the better I get is
deal legalized drugs in this case
other kinds of chemicals and if you're a legitimate businessman
that instead of having the government come after you the government works
for you his pay off a couple politicians the next you know
they argue that the regulation is the answer
we should look into your toxic chemicals at all and they are free to do whatever
you like
you think these are all upstanding businessman who just worked hard and
pull themselves up by their bootstraps
sometimes they are and sometimes they're just crooks who found a better rack
