Is Northland Selling Poisoned Dirt as Topsoil?
The feds are digging in, and one of the companies that dumped contaminated dirt into the city is now responsible for part of the cleanup

By Charlie LeDuff @Charlieleduff

There are so many scoundrels involved in the potential mass poisoning of Metro Detroit that it was right for the Detroit Police to turn their case over to the FBI.

The conflicts of interest are obvious. The tendrils of this scandal reach to the highest levels of Detroit and Southfield city halls, where the leaders continue to claim they know nothing.

And the feds are digging. The case is widening, according to sources. And the case is starting reveal the tell-tale signs of an organized racket.

In the meantime, the ding-dongs of the public bureaucracy bury their heads and hide behind rule books and claims of jurisdiction.

All the while, tests have shown that the dirt in hundreds of holes contains toxins and heavy metals so pernicious they can permeate cell walls and lead to cancer and cognitive impairment.

The Michigan Department of Environment Great Lakes and Energy will not involve itself, preferring to pass jurisdiction to city leaders who are subjects of the federal investigation themselves.

The Center for Disease Control told me two weeks ago that the data the city of Detroit collected on 77 poisoned holes last year is useless because the city did not test the topsoil—an industry standard.

Moreover, no new results have been publicly posted since last November.

The Michigan Department of Transportation does not sufficiently track where its highway slag is being dumped (hint: in Detroit's demolition holes).

The Michigan Economic Development Corporation doles out graft to pay for $4,500 coffee makers but can’t supply soil analytics for brownfield redevelopment projects.

The City of Detroit itself has handpicked 650 sites for testing. How? By what criteria? Why so few? To date, just 175 of those 650 have been tested. About 145 have come back hot. That’s more than 80%.

Back in 2019, Detroit Mayor Mary Sheffield wrote to Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib asking for a federal investigation into the poisoned dirt. A couple months later, Sheffield flew off to Miami for an Easter weekend with Brian McKinney, the founder of Gayanga Co. who is now in the federal crosshairs for dumping the poisoned dirt.

In turn, Tlaib called for a federal investigation. Nothing came of it then. And today Tlaib stands mute while running for re-election as a protector of the people and the environment.

Meanwhile, a company named SC Environmental won contracts from the City of Detroit to clean up some of Gayanga’s poisoned holes. But SC Environmental has been found to have been involved in at least 25 poisoned holes itself. Gayanga was suspended from the demolition program. SC Environmental continues to work.

Why was Gayanga suspended and SC Environmental wasn’t? Further adding to the plot is that SC Environmental was kicked out of the program back in 2022 for using unsourced dirt, leaving demo holes open, and not abating asbestos. Calls to the company were not returned.

Then there’s this: Dirt at the old Northland Mall redevelopment site is being sifted and sold for top soil, sources say. Northland is the very place the Detroit Office of Inspector General believes to be the source for at least some of Gayanga’s killer dirt.

Southfield Mayor Ken Siver and his bureaucrats promised interviews, and then canceled.

Health bureaucracies refuse to step in. I leave it to you to suppose why.

But the question remains: How big is this? Hundreds of holes. Thousands? Tens of thousands? We may never know. And that’s precisely the game being played here by the government. Collective stupidity and amnesia. Bury your head and hope it all goes away.

The old saying goes you can’t fight city hall. But the FBI can. I wish Johnny Fed all the luck. He’s the only hope we have.

🚨 BREAKING: Trump wants a $1.5 trillion defense budget for 2027.

That's roughly $11,500 per U.S. household in a single year.

Do you think that's money well spent?

🚨Your town is spending taxpayer dollars on Flock spy cameras.🚨
Average cost: $70–$120 per camera per month.
A town with 150 cameras pays $150k–$220k per year.
This is your money funding mass surveillance.

Time to demand answers from local officials. Start asking your town officials the hard questions: How much are we paying per month for these Flock cameras, and what was the total installation cost?

[Joe Kent @joekent16jan19]

This is objectively absurd.

McKenzie oversaw the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021. GWOT generals offering more GWOT-era ideas should not be taken seriously.

It’s insane to hear a GWOT leader like McKenzie casually suggest that we can seize ground, as if that’s the ultimate solution.

In the GWOT, we had no issue seizing ground—it was holding that ground and the resulting insurgency that was the real problem, and most of this occurred before our adversaries possessed drone/ballistic missile capabilities.

Attempting any boots-on-the-ground operation in Iran is a fool’s errand. It will result in Americans getting needlessly killed, all for the sake of stroking neocon egos in Washington.

Netanyahu claims that, in his last phone call with Lindsey Graham, Graham refused to let Israel phase out its reliance on U.S. military aid

[Scott Ritter @RealScottRitter]

A MOST SINFUL MAN
Lindsey Graham had come to define the United States over the course of the past quarter century. This was not a good thing.

Lindsey Olin Graham is dead.

He served the State of South Carolina in one form or another for 36 years, the last 23 of which were as a United States Senator.

Lindsey Graham postured himself as a man of integrity and honor, a patriot’s patriot, who put service to country above all else.

A Christian.

But the reality is he was anything but.

Believe the survivors of USS Liberty.

Our own government, on orders from President Johnson and Sec Def McNamara, left them for over half a day to sink into the briny deep after Israel rocketed, machine gunned, napalmed, and torpedoed the clearly marked American ship.

USS Liberty deniers will say Israel’s 1967 attack on the U.S. spy ship was a total accident. Marine Staff Sergeant Bryce Lockwood was on the Liberty and says there’s no doubt Israel meant to kill every American on board.
