| I'm standing here with Scott Kahneman. | |
| He's a husband, father, and activist here in St. Louis. | |
| Scott, I know you're working really hard to raise awareness about the current state of emergency in St. Louis, potential nuclear fallout with the Westlake Landfill. | |
| So fill us in on that. | |
| So the Westlake Landfill is a pretty incredibly large deal. | |
| There's a fire over there about ready to hit the radioactive waste. | |
| Worst case scenario, the Attorney General says it'll hit that radioactive waste in December, but he didn't say what the best case was. | |
| And that's a huge deal, and it could send radioactive fallout into the air. | |
| However, that same waste that's buried there, my own family has a personal history with. | |
| We're standing in Weldon Spring, Missouri, and this giant pile of nuclear waste happens to be... | |
| The same pile of nuclear waste my grandfather worked on as a foreman at Mallinckrodt Chemical Company. | |
| And during his tenure, they created a bunch of nuclear waste when they were refining uranium. | |
| And it ended up getting distributed, you know, not just here, but it's at several sites here in St. Louis. | |
| You know, a lot of them aren't cleaned up properly. | |
| It's just sitting there open air. | |
| At Westlake Landfill is one where the dirt's just kind of sitting there. | |
| St. Louis Area Airport is another site where there's some nuclear waste under a pavilion there. | |
| There's several of these sites all around the area. | |
| And so what do you think when you see this pile of rubble sitting here housing the remnants of the Manhattan Project? | |
| You know, it's a bit ironic to me that, you know, as I said, my grandfather worked on this waste and here we are. | |
| This many decades later, in 2015, dealing with the same pile of waste again. | |
| My grandfather lost his life when he was working for Mallinckrodt due to radiation exposure. | |
| A lot of his co-workers did too. | |
| And for us, you know, my family, it's surreal that we're having to watch people still get sick from the same pile of waste that killed my grandfather and my uncle, who was seven at the time. | |
| It's the same pile of waste. | |
| And it's crazy. | |
| We're still here. | |
| It's 2015 and nothing has changed. | |
| Sure, they put a pretty cap on top of this, you know, and they claim everything is safe here. | |
| And sure, there's a fire over there in Westlake Landfill, but no one is addressing how are we going to clean up St. Louis and get it out of here. | |
| You know, there's kids that are still getting sick and suffering. | |
| To this day, and that's just crazy to me. | |
| In 2015, we're still dealing with Manhattan Project-era nuclear waste. | |
| I didn't know my grandfather in his younger days. | |
| I was born in 1978. I knew him when he was older and more ill. | |
| This is him, obviously, when he's not feeling so great and he's suffering from the effects of radiation exposure and lung cancer, in this case. | |
| But, you know, looking at these photos, he clearly wasn't always like that. | |
| You know, he was a man. | |
| He liked to go fishing with his wife, you know, my grandma. | |
| And it's crazy to see how happy they once were and then just see this transformation from, you know, this is the man he was to the man he became as a result of being a part of the Manhattan Project and up through the Cold War. | |
| It really took a toll. | |
| Here he is. | |
| With more family pictures, you know, again, he's not looking very happy here. | |
| His name was Clifford Drews, and he's the first person in our family, I guess, that was really exposed to this Manhattan Project sort of experimentation. | |
| Not only an experiment to create the atomic bomb, but the company and management of Mallinckrodt would experiment on their employees. | |
| So my grandfather would come home from work. | |
| And he was crawling all through these facilities. | |
| And he would get this radon and this uranium and thorium dust on his hands. | |
| And he didn't think much of it, you know, because, for example, if you're a mechanic, you'll have grease on your hands from your time at work. | |
| Well, he'd have this dust on his hands, and he'd come home and hug his wife and play with his kids. | |
| And radiological illness began to not only afflict him, but... | |
| My uncle as well, his son. | |
| His firstborn son died at the age of seven. | |
| And it was from this radioactive exposure that he would have on his hands. | |
| And holding these people accountable for their actions is something that we would all like to see happen. | |
| But in the meantime... | |
| Just getting their stories out there, I think, is what is the most important. | |
| Because there's so many other people, like my grandfather. | |
| So Denise Brock and the Iron Workers Union helped ensure that this memorial got built to celebrate the Cold War patriots that worked here at Mallinckrodt. | |
| And the iron workers built this arch, and the names of Mallinckrodt uranium workers are in this book. | |
| There's a lot of them. | |
| They're in alphabetical order. | |
| But if I turn it to... | |
| D-O-D-R... Drews. | |
| There he is. | |
| Clifford Drews. | |
| Right here. | |
| Clifford Drews. | |
| That was my grandfather. | |
| And this is his memorial. | |
| So now when you mention the cancer clusters, do you think that it's enough that they have remediated this site here? | |
| Not at all. | |
| This site itself was only... | |
| Partly remediated, we'll call it. | |
| The scam with a site like this is they remediate it to a certain point. | |
| They cleaned it up and made it look nice, put some fancy rocks on top of the nuclear waste, and then they declared this place a nature preserve. | |
| So, because humans won't be habitating it, they can just call it a nature preserve and bring the Katy Trail through the area, and hey! | |
| We're done, right? | |
| Nuclear waste taken care of. | |
| That's what they did here. | |
| They partially cleaned it up. | |
| Now, just over the tree line behind these storm shelters is Francis Howell High School. | |
| And Francis Howell High School, where my own niece goes currently, is at one point, before they were mediated, this place had the highest student rate of cancer in the country. | |
| Among the highest student rate of cancer in the country. | |
| And people just don't understand that... | |
| Waste piles like this and waste piles like that are over there in Westlake Landfill. | |
| They just need to be dealt with. | |
| We can no longer just ignore it. | |
| It needs to be dug up, carted out of here, and taken somewhere where they can handle it. | |
| The globalists have controlled the mainstream media for a long time, but now they're expanding, making the weaponization even more vicious and deceptive. | |
| All the major networks are state-run. | |
| We are partnering this year with the NFL. | |
| The NFL has become a political weapon against the Second Amendment and pushes Obamacare. | |
| MSNBC tells us that our children belong to the state. | |
| We have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents or kids belong to their families and recognize that kids belong to whole communities. | |
| It is more important than ever to realize that we are not the alternative media. | |
| We are the true media. | |
| The establishment dinosaur press is dying. | |
| We are in an information war, and we are losing that war. |
