BAKED AND AWAKE SHOW
Episode 09- A Hanford/Maury Island Connection

Host: Steve Cominski

Co Host: George W. Masters

 

07 October 2017

Welcome back to EP09 of The Baked and Awake Show. I’m Steve, and I’ll be your host for this latest edition of the show, that at the time of publication, is the first of our shows available in the iTunes and GooglePlay stores!!  We are ALSO available to stream and download in the Tunein, Stitcher (Applause!). Today on the show we are going to talk (more than we already have) about everybody’s favorite “new” way to smoke weed- Dabbing, and it’s not so new, and somewhat mysterious origins. We’ll also drop back into the ever informative Hemp History timeline, starting at 1900, and see what the 20th Century has to offer our Photogenic Protagonist, Cannabis, and its hard working and continuously underrated Sister, The Hemp Plant. Finally, it’s a return to Maury - Vashon Island, with some lesser known history of the Island, as well as a possible connection between a famous UFO incident of 1947 that bears the Island’s name, and another mysterious as well as  eternally super deadly dangerous-  Hanford Nuclear Power Plant.  

 

Strain of The Week CBD Strains!! Blue Roots Cannabis Durban Poison CBD Terpene Honey, Purchased at Clutch Cannabis, Renton WA Dabbing, and it’s Conspiratorial Origins will be covered in the HH timeline, below.

 

Hemp History Timeline 1900- 1942 The Dawn of Cannabis and Hemp as we know it 1910- Mexican Revolution  introduces recreational consumption to America 1914- The Harrison Act is passed- bad things to come 1919- Alcohol Prohibition begins (!!) 1924- Russian Botanists classify Cannabis Ruderalis -an interesting genotype that we will visit in more detail in a future episode or episodes 1933- Prohibition ends, actually ramping up pressure on MJ as the next target of the ever growing US law enforcement apparatus’ which now includes a very active Department of Justice, the FBI, the aforementioned OSS, and more. 1942- Henry Ford develops a car that runs on Hemp Ethanol. In a separate project Ford builds an experimental Hemp Car body 10x stronger than steel and significantly lighter- (In a way foreshadowing fiberglass, plastics, and carbon fiber tech during the WWII era?) The United States OSS, precursor Organization to the NSA/CIA, develops a highly potent MJ concentrate, made using Ethanol Alcohol as the solvent- dubbed “Truth Serum”. Codenamed “TD” for Truth Drug, it was administered to unknowing subjects as part of interviews and interrogations in the US and Canada throughout the run of the controversial and super conspiratorial CIA “MK Ultra” program.

The Hanford Site

Hanford, to be honest- is almost too big of a topic to tackle at our tender stage of development here at Baked and Awake. The only reason that I feel alright taking this up at all, is because of all the many topics we hope to cover here over the next few years, Hanford is one that, more than many others, tends to be rarely discussed, even by avid counter culture loving types and the “Conspiracy Crowd”.

Hanford is a massive 586 square mile parcel of land in Washington State that housed the most important nuclear weapons production facility in the United States. It produced almost 80% of the radioactive material used in the United States. It houses 56M gal of liquid waste and 25m cubic feet of solid waste. It is the largest superfund cleanup project in the UNited States.

 

After the roof collapsed in a tunnel on the site in May 2017,

Hanford released a statement that "no evidence of radiological

release" was detected. It should be noted of course that Hanford officials

ignored warnings given by experts in 1980 in regards to the condition

of the structure and the dangers of its contents.

 

ALSO IN MAY 2017 - radioactive contamination was unexpectedly detected during checks on an underground storage tank. In another incident that same month, workers’ clothes were found to have been contaminated with plutonium, though the source of the contamination was not determined.

 

August 2017 - an airborne release during demolition of a

building on the Hanford site was detected. The air tests were

not expected to contain traces of plutonium. The airborne particles

were assumed the result of the demolition but there has not

been a conclusive determination of causality.

 

In 2016, more than 50 workers were exposed to toxic gases, resulting in

illness. More than a 1.3 BILLION dollars has been paid to workers who

have been harmed at Hanford.

 

These "unexpected" discoveries of contamination are almost certainly

symptoms of a larger problem. Laziness and greed. The cost and effort necessary to address the issues is just too much for them to handle, so they lie and avoid and hide the evidence. From what I read while researching this issue, I would say the danger is clear and present.

Now there are some real problems with this, other than the shortcomings of the officials in power. For instance, the cleanup is fabulously expensive. Estimates of the cleanup cost are in excess of $100 Billion. The current budget is $2.3 Billion, nowhere near enough to address matters in a sufficiently timely fashion. And Trump is cutting the existing

budget by $120M.

 

-The cleanup deadline is 2060, but experts believe many dangerous

structures on the site will not survive that long.

 

The underlying issue is human error and laziness. Hanford officials

repeatedly dodge questions about the site and its management.

 

Consider the number of earthquakes along the Pacific Rim in recent days

and the dangers posed by the poorly maintained and aging Hanford

facilities is amplified significantly. A major quake could release

enough radioactive and otherwise toxic material into the air and water to

cause widespread damage over an enormous portion of the Northwest.
