Text of the page (random words):
ing and behavior could be adopted by other fachep engineers and scientists but fachep was unusual from the start engineer mcelmurry gained funding for fachep by lying about a 5 years of work in flint and claiming his team had a complete hydraulic model of flint s water system he ended his first phone call in october 2015 with dr edwards on a political rant against the state of michigan dr love s manipulative first email seeking funding was sent after she claimed media fame for once working with dr edwards at virginia tech after flint was being discussed at international conferences and about same time dr pauli decided he could no longer sit on the sidelines ethical soulmates love and mcelmurry eliminated ethical obstacles that drs raskin and rose posed when first forming their team in late 2016 dr love dismissed team member dr masten s legitimate ethical concerns and eventually ostracized her our point is that the fachep team was formed by a perverse process selecting for certain character traits including greed and a thirst for power rather than a traditional process based on actual expertise and experience in light of the above let s examine the fachep engineers behavior at the january 10 epa data summit and the january 11 2017 flint town hall fachep at the epa data summit the third and final epa flint data summit was held january 10 2017 by this point the personnel involved in the relief effort had been collaborating productively for more than a year the veteran group with representatives from multiple local state and federal environmental and public health agencies had been working overtime to ethically and respectfully fix flint water problems since the declaration of the federal emergency in january 2016 all of the scientists and engineers had qualifying expertise and many had experience in other water crises into their midst parachuted fachep faculty who had virtually no relevant drinking water experience and had done nothing of substance in flint until late 2016 the veteran scientists were mystified as to how or why the state of michigan provided a sole source multimillion dollar grant to a michigan legionella team that excluded respected experts like drs rose and raskin that knowledge was not revealed until early 2019 but everyone now had to deal with the team of inept fachep amateurs who were desperate to create a flint hero narrative for themselves even if it meant casting aspersions or engaging in reckless speculation in public when edwards introduced heroic whistleblower miguel del toral who had been a key face of the flint disaster response for over a year mcelmurry and love seemed to have no idea who he was and could have cared less before the meeting dr edwards was warned to get ready for dr love s now infamous ego and flint water crisis zero trick pony show but to the surprise of many dr love zervos and mcelmurry were quiet professional respectful and sullen throughout the meeting perhaps because their flint filter manifesto paper and grand plans had been derailed 48 hours earlier on the other hand fachep s dr sullivan mechanical engineer kettering university inexplicably stormed out of the meeting in a huff by mid morning epa region v administrator robert kaplan later read a text message sent from sullivan claiming that the entire meeting was a setup and that dr love s research on allegedly dangerous bacteria in flint filters was being ignored and disrespected in disbelief kaplan pointed out that the room was all professionally discussing dr love s results which had been placed on the official agenda after sullivan had left it seemed odd to edwards those in attendance accepted this juvenile temper tantrum as perfectly normal behavior for fachep faculty by the end of the day in discussions with sullivan absent it was unanimously agreed by all including fachep that flint water was markedly improved and in the range of other u s cities with lead pipe that consensus was immediately cited in media coverage of the event as follows what was a crisis is now looking much like other cities said kaplan who sat in on the meeting the point i really want to empathize is that every researcher came at it differently and they all aligned a lot of times it is difficult to achieve that kind of unanimity in a statement flint mayor karen weaver who attended the meeting said it was important for her and staff members including flint s water plant supervisor public health advisor and the city s engineer to hear the information firsthand and share it with residents fachep s official narrative immediately after the data summit kaplan met with fachep s dr love zervos and mcelmurry when disagreement surfaced amongst the team about what they planned to say during their town hall presentation in relation to the pou filters according to kaplan zervos and mcelmurry supported the need to continue recommending the filters but dr love said she wanted to advise flint residents concerned about her prior fearmongering to boil filtered water this prompted a flurry of emails the next morning in which everyone wanted to know what fachep would say during the town hall edwards imagined a fachep debate behind the scenes with dr love stubbornly defending her position to other fachep faculty love s explanation for her boil water position provided to a data summit group email was that if my family lived in flint it is what i would do and i cannot ethically suggest differently to the residents of flint unfortunately dr love did not reveal that her family living in ann arbor had been boiling filtered water based on love s erroneous shigella hits in flint since at least september 2016 and before she had any defensible data it seemed that dr love had invested so much of her effort and credibility into months of filter fearmongering she could not backtrack without an embarrassing loss of face dr eden wells expressed the wish that fachep had obtained a high level expert review of the boil water advice before their december meeting in the flint library and of course fachep never shared that their unscientific views had just been rejected by 4 independent experts requests from dr wells for scientific data or publications backing the boil water advice went unanswered as did yet another request from epa to put the bacteria work into context even politicians engaged in flint were worried about the baseless rumors at 11 41 am just 7 hours before the flint town hall an email from fachep to speakers at the town hall finally announced while we do not have complete consensus there are important areas of agreement and perhaps another approach is to emphasize those this evening the water is much improved residents should continue to use filters as for fachep s position on dr love s boil filtered water recommendation that took more time but at 12 20 pm they finally wrote we have agreed that the language we use is that individuals may choose to boil water this is a choice that individuals may make based on their circumstances we are not saying that we recommend boiling water for old school scientists and engineers who don t understand fachep s concept of many truths it temporarily appeared fachep made a reasonable decision they could all live with edwards was even duped into writing a conciliatory email given that the false narrative fachep was spreading against him was about to be publicly renounced but fachep s engineers had many different versions of the truth there was our truth a truth with a little t a truth with a capital t a whole truth a truth for the flint public and still another truth for the data summit scientists and engineers there were also official narratives based on facts and fachep counternarratives whose usefulness was inversely related to their accuracy let s now examine how well fachep engineers duplicitously juggled their official narrative with their counternarrative at the flint town hall the fachep counternarrative we now know that fachep was in a pickle first mcelmurry previously refused to agree with edwards just a month earlier that flint water quality is much improved yet fachep had just confirmed in writing that flint water is much improved and at that very moment fachep faculty were spreading a counternarrative i e a lie throughout flint that was useful to them claiming that mcelmurry had turned down edwards email requesting that he declare flint water as safe as other cities just a day earlier mcelmurry had agreed that was a consensus of the data summit and if that is not bad enough fachep was also actively supporting a counternarrative that flint water was actually getting worse every day to win over the activists for whom the state of michigan was the number one enemy with so many conflicting truths to keep straight how could the fachep engineers publicly follow through on their promise to emphasize that flint water is much improved well they couldn t and they wouldn t instead just hours before the town hall dr sullivan fachep official trust builder went on social media and wrote the following counternarrative about the epa meeting she had left in a snit emphasis added dear friends yesterday i attended a data summit hosted by the us epa suffice it to say that there s nothing to suggest that the quality of water in flint has improved consistently i d like to say that tonight s townhall orchestrated to deliver a summary of yesterday s epa meeting has not been choreographed but it has who knows why the state and marc edwards seek to proclaim that flint is in no worse a situation than other cities please know that they are wrong dr sullivan then told her social media audience to share her post around the world some flint activists went to the town hall angered and primed to attack anyone who would dare say the water was improving the fachep choreographed meeting and ambush during the town hall presentations recorded online everyone but fachep emphasized scientific points agreed upon at the epa data summit meeting when mark durno of epa stated that the water was improving and that residents should use filters on sullivan s cue the activists started protesting by crinkling water bottles see 9 minutes to 11 minutes they also crinkled dr nicole lurie of dhhs for making similar statements when it came time for mcelmurry and love to speak start at 20 45 here they did not say a word about improving water nor did they say residents should continue to use filters incredibly they said almost nothing of substance mcelmurry and love s basically repeated we don t know over and over along with the refrain we are independent researchers they did not present a single definitive point about flint water quality and mcelmurry even stated he did not have time to discuss fachep data presented in chicago watch 23 26 here they also covered their tracks by withholding their chicago presentations from release to the flint public two minutes after love and mcelmurry finished mayor weaver gave a kind introduction to dr edwards and posed a question about the status of flint water see 32 56 here which edwards summarized as per the mlive article on sullivan s cue the activists crinkled their bottles things went downhill rapidly thereafter in a truly choreographed fashion epa flint whistleblower miguel del toral had been watching activists dr sullivan tony palladeno and adam murphy huddled in discussion eventually when del toral was answering a question palladeno sitting right next to fachep s dr sullivan and zervos broke protocol and interrupted the meeting see 0 33 seconds here a little later on the other side of the room adam murphy read from dr love and fachep s narrative that dr edwards had financial conflicts of interest and had been bought even asserting edwards wasted a half million dollars to sample 156 homes see 0 54 seconds before accusing miguel del toral of having no solutions see del toral 1 04 1 08 here tony palladeno originally sitting next to fachep s dr sullivan and zervos red circle stands and interrupts the town hall an unedited one minute close up of adam murphy and his colleagues statements to del toral including shame on you you all look like a joke and you get paid to do nothing by killing us can be observed at this close up mlive camera angle the world socialists web site later gave edwards some space to correct the fachep and friends counternarrative publicly expressed by murphy our actual total contract with epa was 38 000 moreover that money was used to hire a team of flint residents to do the work and pay for the chemical analysis i also paid out of my own pocket 20 to each flint resident who participated in the sampling and leeanne walters volunteers her time to lead the flint sampling team maybe the reason some residents are so mad is that they are getting false information for whatever reason a pre determined cue for a massive die in by the activists was ignored but otherwise the fachep and friends plans went off without a hitch many activists were not on board with fachep despite dr sullivan s orchestration and misinformation campaign many flint activists were not onboard with the counternarrative east village magazine reported flint area environmental activist mike haley has an unsympathetic take on flint s wounded water warriors who disrupted the town hall thank god they finally settled down he told evm it was somewhat embarrassing this was no longer two years ago the whole calculus has changed and people should respond to the new reality that people are not lying to them later that evening william hammond even went on facebook to challenge dr sullivan s claims that only fachep could be trusted dr sullivan responded as follows read edited exchange below or full exchange here william hammond can you explain what the difference of opinion is between the experts i hear that the water still is not safe to use w o filters that a high percentage of tested homes are below the federal standard i don t see this information as contradictory in your statement above you make it sound like there is disagreement between the experts dr edwards mcelmurry some others laura sullivan where disagreement exists is over 1 whether or not to say that lead is the only pathogen of concern 2 whether or not the water distribution system pipes have reached equilibrium and is stable and 3 whether or not flint can be categorized as being like any other city with lead pipes william hammond thanks i did not pick that up at tonight s mtg it seemed like they were all pretty much in agreement laura sullivan i get that a townhall can t really be a format for critique and debate not only does this illustrate the outright duplicity of fachep s engineers but it once again reveals their complete ignorance of the subject matter lead is not a pathogen it is a toxic metal the fachep heroes of the flint town hall in his intellectually dishonest historical account of the events documented above dr pauli proudly writes the changing landscape of scientific credibility i...
