Top 9/11 Lawyer Says Not to Trust the EPA

Michael Barasch (a top attorney for matters related to 9/11 attacks) has issued a warning to the public that the Environmental Protection Agency is not to be trusted in the wake of the train accident that led to a major environmental disaster in East Palestine. The EPA insists the air is safe.

Barasch was the one who led the effort to inform hundreds of thousands of people about their rights to compensation for health problems that they suffered from inhaling poisonous dust from World Trade Center after the attacks. He says he still has clients who are “are dying every single day from 9/11 toxic dust.”

He’s now warning the community in and around East Palestine to “stay away and don’t believe the EPA.”

Barasch pointed out that the EPA had also assured citizens in 2001 that the air was safe following the attacks on September 11. He said that “21 years ago, the government at least had a reason: they wanted to reopen Wall Street.”

“They should have just been honest with people then and said, ‘Look, if you don’t have to be downtown in your office, stay away until the fires go out,'” He Telled Breitbart News. “And that’s what they should have done here.”

“Otherwise we’re going to see in another twenty years exactly what I’m seeing now — with people developing illnesses and dying from post-9/11 toxic air — only on a lower scale,” He stated.

Barasch wonders, “How can anybody with any kind of assurance say the air is safe?” The toxic chemicals found in the air and water have contaminated local water sources.

“They’ve lost their credibility,” He also noted that the issues surrounding the EPA are not political. “it was the Bush EPA that said the air was safe to breathe 21 years ago, [whereas] now it’s the Biden EPA.”

There were also a few scandals at the Obama EPA, including the Gold King Mine Spill in Colorado that was caused by the EPA.

Barasch suggests the EPA “should be independent of everybody — even though the president does appoint the administrator.”

“It should be something like the CDC that people really trust, and I’m afraid that I have lost confidence when they say things like ‘the air is safe,'” He added.

Since I don’t know who trusts the CDC anymore, I believe the lesson is that no government agency should be trusted.
