Trains Derailing Is A Big Deal

I live in a small town just five miles from Salisbury NC, this small town has the North Carolina transportation museum and right behind our property is a major freight train and Amtrak multiple railroad line. We've had boxcar's jump track just under a hundred yards from the house, hear wheel's with flat spots hopping like a jackhammer and have seen wheels glowing red. With the aging railroad infrastructure in our country, it's just a matter of bad timing we're going to have more catastrophic freight train derailment. North Carolina has creeks, river's that feeds into major lake's that also feeds many private wells all over this country. Like the major derailment up in Pennsylvania and Ohio is an example how big business tries to push the little people around by not owning up to their clean up and financial responsibility to the communities they run and made unlivable to poor people that are in no position to pack up everything and leave for safer places to live. When I was a young man I live and Wichita Falls Texas drove to work up and down 287 to Henryetta Texas I saw a 700 car coal train run off the tracks, the locomotive's still chugging along flipping over onto the edge of the highway and coal cars piling up, ripping into the others. Now coal isn't necessarily hazard but did catch fire after the dry mesquite trees and grass around it caught on fire. They were lucky it didn't derail in downtown of Wichita Falls it surely could have been worse.

For the Pennsylvania derailment, Dr. Lee Meric said that they were trying to get the Amish farmers to sell their farmland and they wouldn't sell out so they tried to make the area a wasteland. Bill Gates and Richard Branson are buying up all the farmland in the country. They want to control the food supply. Bill is the largest owner of farmland in the country.

Bill made that statement but he only owns about 1% of the farmland. He's still buying it though

This has to stop it's becoming like a bad movie 🎬 , you see on TV. We need to take back our country, there is so much evil going on here and people have finally woke up , even land here in the valley is being bought up.
Very hard to find places to bird hunt, because the ranchers and farmers have sold their land or the kid's don't want the land and sell it to large corporations.
I have lost alot of land that I had permission to hunt.
Hate to sound like a downer, whish we could do some thing about it.have a good week.

I didn't hear it from Bill Gates. I have been hearing it through other alternative news sources like Brighton and the dark outpost which is now the Awake Nation and many other sources.

The family ranch and farm land we had access to hunt and fish on became divided up upon my grandfather's death, they paid $103,000 for 130 acres of prime cattle land with one large private lake and six fully stocked with fish ponds. To have kept the land by the surviving son's and one daughter the taxes would have cost over one million dollars. Oklahoma is famous for being tax crazy hungry.

And that is so wrong that the state's do that.
My buddy years ago inherited a ranch in Wyoming I belive it was a l000 acres was a old cattle ranch wit tout streams and and big game.
They had to sell it there were years of back Taxes, that they couldn't afford and l was going to have permission to hunt on it and if I had the money to help them with it I would have. They didn't know about the back Taxes.

An acre of brushy undeveloped piece of land here in NC often cost more than the structure people build on the land.

It's sad that estate taxes have caused many families to lose the family farms, ranches and moreover the legacy their forefathers left them. Ain't Right!
