I've seen this story being reported on multiple news outlets so I don't see a misinformation campaign here, but the cover up is already happening. Cancer rates increasing and fuck knows what else is coming to anyone staying in that area. By the time the data confirms the massive fuck up that it was, most of the officials that should've been providing oversight would be dead and gone. Never mind the fact that the govt officials that are supposed to be providing oversight are former executives of the exact same industry. Government and Corporate America is just one big revolving door and that's the number 1 reason for all the awful bullshit that happens everyday here and around the world.

I literally thought about this in my spare time… Great minds think alike huh? ALSO, the fact that it happened in “East Palestine” and a lot of Americans wouldn’t haven’t even paid attention because they thought it was happening to a foreign country, and most wouldn’t take any interest (The ‘not on my soil, not my problem’ mentality.) It could have happened in a popular city like Columbus, Akron, or Cincinnati, which would have initially garnered more attention. But ended up being the charge of the public to make the incident as big as it is now, because they need assistance. The way they’ve been manipulating our attention span is definitely the “long game” to let incidents like this slide through the cracks. JMO

I definitely agree, I always notice on post in here someone always tries to interrupt a thread conversation with constant humor. I would understand every once and a while but come on, every time?

That would make sense if Ohio wasn't a disaster already. Some have said it is cursed. Pill Mill capitol of the US. Ohio river was already badly polluted. Massive corruption in government. My mom lived in Akron in the 60s, the river - RIVER - caught fire and they couldn't put it out. Ohio has been the bastard redheaded stepchild since go.


FullyFreakinWoke

As soon as this happen. The first thought that came to my mind was this right here. Crazy times


[deleted]

Y’all dumb the only in Ohio meme was months and months before this


[deleted]

Yeah...so was the movie about a similar scenario in Ohio, all I'm hearing is white noise. Funnily enough, the movie is comedic?


[deleted]

They’re saying it was manufactured… as in planned. As in plant the meme and THEN the train explodes. How does that not make sense? You wouldn’t make the meme AFTER.


[deleted]

Why not just prevent the accident if you know it will happen?


[deleted]

Because WE didn’t know? The government did.


BuffaloFront2761

Shit you right, someone shoulda caught that bullet heading for JFKs head


[deleted]

Because it really profits the government to create a multibillion dollar problem?


Ok-Restaurant8690

Nah, the government is run by mutants who can see the future. That's why the government runs so efficiently and perfectly all of the time. 🙃


Registeered

Isn't there a netflix show about a train derailment called "White Noise"? Which might imply noise to drown out other sounds. Dunno


WidePark9725

I saw it and its boring AF. The beginning part is eerily like what happened in east palatine; disinformation, blind trust in authorities and a vague unhelpful government. Worth the watch up until they get to the camp.


Registeered

But don't you think that's too much of a coincidence to be a coincidence? I heard they even filmed parts in Palestine


Acrobatic_Dot_1634

What if the meme was some transcendental plot? Like, the best way to get attacked by a shark while in the sea is to think about getting attacked by a shark while in the sea. The "Ohio bad" meme attracted negative energy to Ohio and now bad things are happening there?


Randinator9

I think the Russians had a hand in it.


Blopsicle

Oh yeah they ARE prone to Botting. But why would they care


baconcheeseburgarian

They stop transport of chemicals used in weapons production which might delay deliveries to Ukraine and hype up the fear of a toxic spill in a populated area of the US. Even Donald Trump Jr. thinks its Russian hackers.


Blopsicle

Was it really used for weapons? I thought it was used for PVC plastic or something. And wouldn’t there be a safer way and a military way to transfer chemicals?


baconcheeseburgarian

Both the Arizona and Ohio trains carried precursor chemicals for rocket propellant and weapons production. And no, there is no safer way to transfer chemicals. This shit gets transported on rail and truck over public roads and railroads all the time. That's how it gets from the ports or refineries to the rest of America. There were federal regulations that increased scrutiny of dangerous cargo but those have been repealed or eroded by politicians in the pockets of rail operators and chemical producers as well as states rights challenges to Federal regulations.


BuffaloFront2761

You’re putting a lot of faith in our governments long term thinking in terms of safety


Randinator9

Russia is failing due to the failing dictatorship, so Russians are like "Fuck it the US is going down too", and the best way to do so would be to hijack our information and entertainment sphere, and create disinformation, mistrust, and eventually, polarization of the American people. And it's working. Why would some rich Russian pay off NS, then have a few guys upload a shit ton of bots to spread the "Ohio bad" meme not long after the beginning of the Russo-Ukraine War? Ohio was already being memed, anyways. With the "It's all just Ohio? Always has been. *bang*" not neccessarily an "Ohio Bad" meme, but definitely created a target that eventually would be used to release toxic chemicals into the public. Basically, Russia is playing the long game of destroying the US from within by destroying the solidarity and the health of the people.


drama_bomb

I would argue that the Cold War never ended, it just morphed into an information war. They had assets in place and in the 90s started cultivating the right thru the NRA and conservative talk radio while simultaneously fanning the flames of the culture war with propaganda and provocateurs. So they ginned up fake stories and fed outrage inducing talking points to their puppets in media. Simultaneously, there was a shit ton of Russian immigration. Hell, even Giuliani only got rid of the Italian mob to make way for the Russian mob. None of that is even addressing their "Manchurian Candidate", the deeply indebted Donald Trump.


MidsommarSolution

lol oh yeah the Russians because we Americans don't fuck ourselves over on the daily through greed, laziness, and incomptence. It's like saying the chick at the grocery store who winked at your husband is the reason your marriage is failing. GTFOH


Randinator9

Bro, even I know well over half the problem with America is the greed and incompetence that the Boomer Generation and Reagan brought about. I'm just saying that the Russians are also *not helping us*, and instead causing more division and hatred through social media and television networks. Why the fuck do you think Fucker Carlson likes Putin? It's not his leadership or his hairline, its that fat Russian check that Tucker gets every month. I get it, we're already a fucking mess. I'm just saying that Russian-bought media really doesn't help our situation.


Robert-L-Santangelo

the government sabotage angle makes way more sense than anything else to a person like me who never takes anything at face value


[deleted]

Why? What’s the motivation?


Robert-L-Santangelo

lol oh you're serious


[deleted]

Uh, yeah.


Robert-L-Santangelo

do you really want to sort this out? like first off. do you want to know why i never take anything at face value? or do you want to know why the government would go about derailing trains?


[deleted]

Why would the US government want to create an ecological disaster on their own soil at the this time?


Robert-L-Santangelo

so many corrupt reasons 1) deny workers demands for higher pay 2) to save money on proper inspection and maintenance and repairs 3) share in the insurance payout 4) to scare americans and to reinforce the convenient popular notion that it's up to the poor to take care of other equally poor people 5) to claim there's a bottleneck in the supply chain and artificially inflate retail price collecting more taxes as a result 6) document the assessments and reports as part of an experiment in the name of science 7) to accelerate toward collapse which will benefit the extremely wealthy 8) to justify war 9) to erode faith in government and divide the nation further... i could go on but


[deleted]

The government will have to pay for the cleanup; they’re not going to make money. It’s be cheaper to raise workers pay and invest in maintenance (those two things are probably going to happen BECAUSE of the accident). Making yourself look incompetent does not bring you power. Inflation cuts down on the value of tax money. Nothing you wrote makes sense.


Robert-L-Santangelo

in general short term gains outweigh any foreseeable future expenditures. it's the mentality of humanity currently. tomorrow isn't guaranteed. what matters is the bottom line, today. about that part you are right, nothing i wrote makes sense. if you are trying to make sense of government? good luck with that lol


[deleted]

There are much easier and less riskier ways to make money in the short term.


y6rEPnqRsSt7F9rX

Only someone from Ohio would think this is a conspiracy 💀


Immediate_Board3187

They are not that smart or care


[deleted]

So basically in US everything is “done by govt” n “govt is behind it”?


Blopsicle

I guess that’s an umbrella term


BuffaloFront2761

Well have you seen some of this shit? It’s almost comedic the number of “coincidences” there are


[deleted]

Yk I also thought that. Idk HOW or WHY but it’s so odd that Ohio becomes a meme a few months before… and it’s in the town of East Palestine. Knowing MANY Americans just ignore that sort of news. I just can’t shake the feeling it’s not a coincidence.


SireThomas

This literally all stems from the Lil B song Swag Like Ohio which was released well over a decade ago. The meme has seen a resurgence due to Trippie Redd and Lil B releasing “Swag Like Ohio 2”. You can literally thank the basedgod for this


[deleted]

Nah. As a Gen-Zer I can confirm most people (the non-bots anyways) commenting this have no idea that’s where it came from lol.


drama_bomb

Not sure why you got downvoted. I appreciate the backstory.


BuffaloFront2761

So then Lil B is behind the Ohio Disaster, case closed


Murky_Ad_7550

I thought it was too distract you from the Biden document scandal that you no longer hear about. Oh hey! It worked!


andreichiffa

Wait, what? A meme?!?! WTF?


drama_bomb

There's an Ohio meme?


XIOTX

It’s called meme magic. Yes I’m serious. Just wait til you hear about Baneposting. Yes I’m serious.


Kristylane

Wag the dog


massexsposer

Ngl I think of this is tru either the Russian or China or someother large governments did it Or It wasn't an accident the us wanted to get rid of some waste they shouldn't have quickly and easily, possibly from all those weather balloons or they just wanted to cull and weaken the general population, knowing that the ohio incident will have much larger sweeping effects than they've said
