The feds are refusing to provide 9/11 first responders with cancer treatment after they covered up carcinogens in the air at Ground zero after the Twin Towers collapsed for “national security” reasons.
As I have previously reported, it is has been widely reported in the media yet still widely unknown fact among the vast majority of the public that the federal government covered up the presence of toxic cancer causing chemicals in the air around ground zero after the 9/11 terror attacks.
Flashback: EPA Cover Up Of Toxic Air In New York After 9-11 And Parallels To BP Gulf Oil Spill
The cover up in the Gulf of Mexico of air, water and sea food data is reminiscent of so many past government coverups with perhaps the most shocking being the one that occurred after the Twin Towers were destroyed on 9/11.
Reviewing the EPA data summaries which painted a rosy picture and were used to assure the public with “an overriding message that there was no significant threat to human health” and make blanket statements “that the air was ‘safe’ to breathe,[when] it did not have sufficient data and analyses to make such a blanket statement” draws many parallels to government claims being made about the BP Gulf Oil Spill water samples and sea food tests.
In fact the government was missing data on many pollutants, such as particulates and chemicals like PCBs but thanks to the work of EPA whistleblower Hugh Kaufmann we now know that 25 percent of dust samples collected by the EPA contained asbestos a very potent carcinogen even though the official EPA results provided to the public reported no such contamination.
For many who believe that there are to many alarmists spreading unnecessary fear and panic I can only say look at the government track record on things like asbestos, DDT, cigarette smoke, agent orange, and 9/11.
Then take into account that the same top level EPA advisor who blew the whistle on the World Trade Center cover up that has left thousands sick and an untold tens of thousands to suffer long term chronic health conditions and die slow deaths from cancer is now warning that the government is covering up the effects of dispersant because the public can’t handle the truth.
During 9/11 the Government was more worried about reopening New York City and Wall Street and as such the financial interests of the government to be able to collect tax money was deemed more important than the lives of millions of people and the cover up was justified by the Bush Administration in the name of National Security.
Surely the economies of the Gulf, including the oil, fishing and tourism industries, along with property values and other revenue generators for the government are of much more value to “National Security” than what was at risk after 9/11 so all of the sudden the idea of a government cover up doesn’t seem so far fetched.

Just like during 9/11 there is now an epic failure by the media to cover the crisis and fact check the government.
Instead the media will be happy to collect it sales revenue and advertising dollars and continue to focus on non-issue stories such as CNN’s segment today on who has the best burgers in America.
Here is a flash back to 2003 when the EPA cover up was revealed, as reported by MSNBC.
Anger builds over EPA’s 9/11 report
Charges of a cover-up hit nerve with New Yorkers
Sept. 11, 2003 — Two years after the World Trade Center attacks, New Yorkers say they’re outraged by reports that the White House influenced the Environmental Protection Agency to downplay hazards posed by the toxic dust that fell in an avalanche over the city. The EPA’s acting chief defends the agency’s actions after the attacks, saying it hopes to be better prepared for “the next time.”

As pointed out in the MSNBC article above reviewed and changed EPA information citing the “reopening of Wall Street” and “national security” as reasons for the cover up.
To add insult to injury, just a few days The New York Post reported that the government is now snatching the bodies 9/11 first responders to prevent families from linking their deaths to the 9/11 air cover up so they do not have to pay victim compensation claims to the families.

After years of battling politicians to set up a 9/11 first responders compensation fund our beloved politicians are refusing to pay health care costs for cancer treatments.
CNN reports on the outrage below while refusing to report that first responders cancer was due to the government cover up of carcinogens in the air at ground zero.
