He was also extremely loyal. He wasn’t just loyal to the people who worked for him, he was loyal to the people above him because he believed in the basic integrity of those driving DTSC. It’s his faith in people and his dedication to the environment which has earned him loyalty.

I think it was his belief that if he protected the environment as far as the letter of the law would allow him, there would be requisite loyalty and support from his superiors. This would seem a fair and equitable return for someone who has dedicated 25 years to protecting human life. If Mr. Riley made a mistake, it was in that he believed that his superiors would be as loyal to him as he has been to them and to the environment.

Mr. Hirsch is no angel either, let’s be honest. In collusion with DTSC and especially past inept-minded regulators, it is Hirsch who intentionally covers up atrocities of the Ventura County permitting process that encouraged the contamination from onset way back in the 1940s and 1950s (and on through present day: hint, Google up “Ventura County Burn Days at SSFL Burn Pits” and read the SAIC 1991 document). Without such permits and other permitting filings, there would not have been any polluter, any radiation, any TCDD Dioxin, any chemical contamination. Hirsch also sides with the City of Los Angeles in their cover-up of the poisoned Department of Water and Power Chatsworth Reservoir as well as the County of LA for its role in permitting contamination to be trucked and spilled within its boundaries. Decision makers make decisions. And some cities and both counties are culpable participants in this mess, whether or not Dan Hirsch likes it or not.

The friend of your enemy is your enemy. For Pete’s sake, the polluter here would use its own employees to test poisons on, and then publish the results in medical journals stating said poison is safe (unbeknownst to the reader is the extremely minute amount of toxin administered to the human-guinea-pig-Boeing-employee over several days).

If the parties involved at present and above would have chosen to live a clean life, there would be no unearthly delay in the cleanup. I challenge you, special reader, to see through the fog and do what is right. If something does not seem right, it usually isn’t. Attend meetings when you can. Stand up, speak robustly, and question ignorance. The upcoming new California Administration is going to need your record to learn from in quick time, so please comment when commenting is solicited. And, by all means, THINK INDEPENDENTLY, else be one of the sheep being led to slaughter. Please read below;

Quoted from “A Treatise on Military Weapons Containing the Radioactive Material: Depleted Uranium”, by Lynnie Howe:

“Atomic secrecy has corrupted American democracy. And the rationale for this corroding secrecy has always been national security, the need to keep powerful information from falling into the hands of the current US enemy. Nuclear scientists even today regard the Q security clearance as a badge of honor, even while it signifies a determination not to spill the truth.

But now secrecy has mutated into an instrument of self-preservation not for the security of the nation but for the profits of the nuclear industry. The [keeping] of secrets has evolved into the telling of lies. And the deception is being perpetrated not on the enemies of the US but on its tax-paying citizens, whose contributions finance US atomic atrocities and line the coffers of nuclear profiteers.

The reason for this secrecy and deception has also changed. The nuclear industry’s greatest fear is no longer of an “enemy’; It fears instead that the truth about the environmental and health effects of radiation, if fully conveyed to the American people, will result in the collapse of the nuclear industry with its obscene profits.”

Again, please put thinking cap on and be independent.
