IndependentSentinel- The government Clean Air and Clean Water guardians followed up their toxic metal spill by delivering dirty, oily water to the Navajos.
Because of EPA negligence, a massive spill from a closed mine contaminated the Animas and San Juan Rivers. More than 3 million gallons of toxic metals poured into the river, turning it orange and then yellow as it flowed through Colorado and New Mexico into Utah far as Lake Powell, leaving the farmers and the Navajos without potable water for livestock and crops.
Not to worry! The EPA to the rescue!
So basically the new American version of nazis (progtard fascists), are sending them a big FU.
Hopefully Trump/Cruz can return the favor in 2016.
I hope that Ira Hayes and the Navajo code talkers from World War 2 come back from the dead and haunt the bastards from the EPA with thoughts of ghost dances in their dreams. It’s too bad the Navajo Indians couldn’t whoop their ass for this. God knows they deserve a good swift ass kicking.
Why are they complaining? At least the government is trying to change the name of the Washington Redskins on their behalf.
“Because of EPA negligence”
Not negligence; it was done on purpose to establish a new Super Fund site to get more money.

Thanks a bunch, Dick Nixon. Next time I’m near Yorba Linda I think I’ll drop by and piss on your grave. It is probably cleaner than the water your legacy agency is giving to the Navajos.
Send Eliz. Warren.
She’ll straighten this out…
From rancid meat and weevily flour a century ago to toxic water today.
My, the federal government sure has come a long way baby.
Well, that’s OK, according to the 14th Amendment they aren’t citizens anyway (If they wanted good treatment from the government they should have waited a few hundred years and been born to criminal aliens)!
Nailed it!
Government grows period
The dems aren’t worried. The Indians are heavily dependent on transfer payments. They’ll continue voting “D” no matter what.
Those tanks are what are used to hold fresh water and contaminated water for and from fracking operations in Texas and Oklahoma. When the oil industry uses them they don’t care what they are like inside because they use them to store fresh water, which is different than potable water.
Basically the fresh water they need cannot be saline. So they frack the well with fresh water and then if they cannot haul all the water to a disposal well right away they store the water products from the fracking process back in the same tank, then over few days or hours trucks come and haul the waste water to a disposal well.
It doesn’t matter to the oil services industry if there is a little oil residue or salt or mineral residue because nobody plans to drink the water from a frack tank.
I guess that is until the EPA goes out looking for temporary storage tanks to “help out” a citizen in need.
But this tank was put there for livestock and irrigation. Not sure that a light sheen of oil would be much of a problem in those cases.
Ft. Lauderdale. Just on the news last night. Tens of thousands old tires are being removed from the ocean at a cost of millions of taxpayers dollars. How did thy get there you ask. Well the well meaning non thinking environmental nitwits put them there to help build reefs. 1907 till now they have been doing the opposite scrubbing away reef life. Who would have thunk.
Reminds me of that old t-shirt: “Sure, you can trust the government! Just ask an Indian.”
“Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the American government take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian.” – Henry Ford
It’s a miracle that anything can grow on the dry Navajo and Hopi reservation. The government plan from the beginning was to starve them to death. Same reason the buffalo were wiped out on the northern plains.
