Cyanide Foam covers streets of Tianjin and massive fish de-off

Whatever caused the explosion there has certainly been an official cover-up in China leading to some ludicrous explanations.


"Mystery" Cyanide Foam Covers Streets In China As "Massive Fish Die-Off" Observed After Tianjin Explosion



20 August, 2015

Update: The latest images from the massive fish die-off...








On Wednesday evening we noted that China, in what looks like an attempt to discourage investigative reports into Communist Party culpability for the explosion at Tianjin which killed more than a hundred people and injured more than 700 last week, revealed the previously unnamed majority shareholders of Tianjin International Ruihai Logistics. 

The two men - a Mr. Yu and a Mr. Dong - have Party ties and admitted to using their political connections to skirt restrictions on the storage and handling of hazardous chemicals like sodium cyanide. 

That admission isn’t likely to satisfy the Chinese public, which is looking for the head (figuratively speaking we hope) of someone higher up in the party, as scapegoating a few locals with tenuous Party ties doesn’t seem to constitute the type of wholesale, rigorous investigation that would indicate Beijing is serious about getting to the bottom of how 700 tonnes of toxic chemicals ended up being stored at a facility that was only licensed to warehouse a fraction of that total.


In any event, the "cyanide thunderstorms" we warned were rolling into the area have now blanketed Tianjin in a "mysterious" white foam. The images are below.









And as The South China Morning Post reports, some claimed the rain had burned their skin and lips, which would be consistent with a text message purported to have emanated from the American Embassy (which immediately denied its authenticity) advising workers to "avoid ALL contact" between their skin and any rain:





Some residents and journalists near the blast site in Tianjin experienced skin burns as rain hit the Binhai New Area on Tuesday.
Amid fears the rain could spark toxic reactions with chemicals at the site - in particular with hundreds of tonnes of sodium cyanide - an official urged the public to "stay far away".
As the rain progressed, an unusual white foam emerged on roads near the blast site. A journalist for Caixin reported feeling burns on the lips and arms after being exposed to the rain.

As for the official explanation for why the streets in Tianjin are now running white with what might very well be an extremely toxic, cyanide-laced foam, Tianjin's environmental monitoring center says it's "a normal phenomenon when rain falls, and similar things have occurred before." 


And in case that wasn't enough of a punchline for you, here's a look at what happened after no chemicals were detected in the seawater around the blast site:

Staggeringly high cyanide levels have been found at the Tianjin blast site, with one spot exceeding the permitted amount by 356 times. It comes as residents demand compensation from the government and express fears of returning home following last week's deadly explosion.

"An excessive level of cyanide was detected in eight locations, with the highest reaching 356 times" the permitted level, Ministry of Environmental Protection official Tian Weiyong said.

"Cyanide pollution is severe inside the warning zone. Outside the zone overall, the amount of cyanide detected is at normal range," he dded.

'We can't live here'


It comes just one day after protesters braved the rain during a demonstration in Tianjin, stressing that their homes have been destroyed and health jeopardized. The protesters, many wearing masks, held banners and shouted slogans.

You know when these chemical facilities blow up, all these harmful objects get buried in the surrounding areas, so we don't dare to live there, it's going to have an impact on our health, our family's health and especially our children's health,”36-year-old homeowner Mr. Zhang told Reuters.

Earlier this week, one of China's most well-known philanthropists was taken to hospital after inhaling poisoned air while aiding the cleanup efforts. 

Three days ago, residents who fled their homes following the deadly explosions gathered to demand compensation from the government, which they say is ignoring their plight.

Around 150 people descended on a hotel where government and military officials were holding a press briefing on the disaster, shouting “Buy back!” as they demanded payment for their lost homes and possessions, AFP reported.

"The water, the air, the underground water are polluted," fashion designer Liu Liang said, adding that he and other residents are being improperly treated by the government. "We can't live here," he added.

Another person present at the demonstration, Wen Jing, said she and her family “can't go back to our home,” adding that it was “totally” damaged by the blasts.
She also expressed frustration with officials who “haven't spoken a word to us yet...no one has noticed us yet. No one [has] said anything to us.”

Thousands of people have been left displaced after their homes were either destroyed or deemed unsafe to return to.

UN criticism


On Wednesday, a top UN expert also criticized China on its handling of the chemical blasts, saying that better communication and information could have lessened or even prevented the нdisaster.

"The lack of information when needed -- information that could have mitigated or perhaps even prevented this disaster -- is truly tragic," Baskut Tuncak, the UN's special rapporteur on human rights and hazardous substances and waste, said in a statement.

He added that the “reported restrictions on public access to health and safety information and freedom of the press in the aftermath are deeply disturbing,” particularly because it risks increasing the number of victims of the нdisaster.

At least 114 people were killed and 700 injured by last week's explosions at a warehouse storing hazardous chemicals in Tianjin's port. Around 70 people are still missing.

Further blasts three days after the initial explosions prompted police to evacuate those within a three-mile radius. The cause of the blasts is not yet clear, though media reports have suggested that safety violations and corporate negligence may have played a role. A massive cleanup operation is still underway.


Here is the conspiracy theory version of things 

Tianjin explosion leads to massive fish die-off, mysterious foam falls out of the sky, burning the skin of citizens as Chinese government declares everything's fine




20 August, 2015

(NaturalNews) The first pictures of the mass fish die-offs and cyanide-infused rainfall have now emerged from Tianjin, China, following the catastrophic blast that has unleashed a wave of speculation about its real cause. Chinese dissidents told Natural News they believe the blast was carried out by the Pentagon using an exotic space-based weapon, and that it was intended to send a message to China to stop devaluing the yuan (i.e. currency wars).

The official explanation from the Chinese government -- which tells the truth about as rarely as the Obama administration -- is that this was merely a chemical explosion caused by some local business knuckleheads storing too much sodium cyanide in a storage facility.

Chinese dissidents told Natural News that this was a 
secondary explosion, and indeed, there are multiple reports of two explosions taking place at Tianjin ground zero.

From 
the BBC:

The China Earthquake Networks Centre said the initial explosion, in a city with a population of around 15 million, had a power equivalent to three tonnes of TNT detonating, while the second was the equivalent of 21 tonnes. The second was so big that satellites orbiting Earth picked it up as well. Chinese data site Cnbeta published pictures showing the sudden flare.

In other words, there was an initial explosion which set off a secondary explosion that was 700% larger. The initial explosion, we've been told, was the result of the Pentagon's "Rod of God" space weapon. Notably, the placement of this weapon would mean that 
the Pentagon had knowledge of vulnerable chemical storage dumps which could be targeted for chain reaction mega-explosions.

The result? An explosion so large it was easily seen from space. Here's a large automobile storage lot where 
cars were all but melted by the blast:

Sodium cyanide declared "totally safe" by the insane Chinese government

The secondary blast consisted of 700 tons of sodium cyanide detonating in an explosion that many of us still compare to a tactical nuclear strike.
Sodium cyanide, when it gets wet, releases hydrogen cyanide, a deadly substance that can poison skin with direct contact. Inhaling it can lead to severe burns of the lungs, and when it enters the water supply, it devastates lifes.
Here are some of the photos of the dead fish that are now surfacing. Hat tip to HK.on.ccand Shanghaiist.com for the photos:







Tianjin citizens covered in cyanide foam, skin burns reported

Although the Chinese government insists the area is totally safe -- yeah, and the EPA says it doesn't pollute rivers, either -- photos from Tianjin reveal a mysterious cyanide foam raining down on the citizens.

"Some who made contact with it are reporting a burning sensation on their face and lips, while others are reporting a stinging sensation on their arms. Some have said they experienced an itchy sensation," reports Shanghaiist.com:











Hilariously, the Chinese government insists "...that the pollutants are contained and not at risk of spreading beyond the evacuated area." (BBC)

The Guardian adds:

Niu Yuegang, deputy director at Tianjin’s fire department, confirmed that over 40 different types of chemicals have now been discovered at the blast site, including 700 tonnes of sodium cyanide, 800 tonnes of ammonium nitrate and 500 tonnes of potassium nitrate, according to local reports.

U.S. agricultural manufacturer John Deere was even forced to halt production in Tianjindue to the explosion and toxic chemicals.

Official stories are always a laugh riot

China's official story is that this is all the fault of some uniquely dishonest local business people who stored chemicals without a permit.

Yeah, right, because everywhere else in China, everybody follows the permitting rules for storing chemicals. Hilarious.

China's rapid scapegoating of this individual for the explosion is obviously a desperate ploy to silence all the talk of other theories that better explain what happened.

The official story, notably, in no way explains what ignited the chemicals in the first place. If you believe in the laws of chemistry and physics, you know these chemicals don't just spontaneously ignite without cause. Something had to trigger the first detonation which then triggered the secondary explosion.

China's total cover-up of the cause of the first detonation will only lead to more speculation about the real causes behind this large-scale catastrophe.
