FALSE FLAG: EPA intentionally caused toxic water spill at Colorado mine to get more funding for environmental cleanup operations

Some are calling it an intentional act of environmental sabotage for monetary gain: The Colorado Gold King mine disaster from last summer that left hundreds of miles of the Animas River tainted with heavy metals, such as lead and arsenic, and other toxins. New reports suggest that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) knew full well what it was doing when it unplugged the dam, and that it did so in a backhanded attempt at getting more federal funding for remediation efforts.
Thousands of people, including those living on Native American Indian reservations throughout the American Southwest, have suffered immensely as a result of the spill, which sent more than 3 million gallons of putrid waste down this sacred waterway that hydrates tens of thousands of people. Besides polluting the natural environment, various industries and tourism were brought to a halt as this once-pristine river was quickly turned into a reddish-brown disaster.
The fiasco was quickly dismissed as an accident, but evidence shows that the EPA knew its efforts would release toxic waste – it just didn’t realize how much and how obvious it would be. And now that the truth is getting out, those affected want answers, and some are even planning to sue the EPA for its willful negligence, which has left vast swaths of the river and surrounding banks tainted with extremely harmful chemicals like lead, arsenic and cadmium.
According to Representative Rob Bishop (R-Utah), chairman of the Natural Resources Committee, the EPA intentionally breached the dam in an effort to slowly release its contents – a move that was purportedly intended to help cleanup efforts. But the result was much more severe than anticipated, resulting in one of the worst environmental disasters in recent years.
“There was nothing unintentional about EPA’s actions with regard to breaching the mine,” stated Rep. Bishop earlier this month. “They fully intended to dig out the plug and breach it.”
