A disturbing video has surfaced of employees of a Nevada company allegedly being told by their boss to dump chemical waste into the desert and light in on fire (video below).
The video, posted to YouTube, begins with an unseen employee pointing the camera at barrels of chemical waste stacked together in the desert.
The employee says, "We've been ordered to dump these barrels, two or three a night, and then burn 'em out." The employee then frets about how what he and his co-workers are doing is "so illegal," and goes on to say, "This is what we gotta do, or we'll lose our jobs."
As another employee, identified by the speaker as Cliff, dumps a barrel of waste into the desert, the employee with the camera can be heard lamenting, "Oh my God. God forgive me. I'm so sorry."
The employee with the camera then focuses on the label on one of the barrels. It reads, "Houghton International, Inc. Hocut 795-H."
Houghton is a specialty chemical company. According to the company's website, Hocut 795-H is: "A general-purpose cutting fluid, Hocut 795-H is an industry-changing soluble oil that operates independent of sump-side additives even in the most severe conditions."
Comment: It should be totally obvious that the International Olympic Committee is punishing Russian athletes not because of alleged doping, which is widespread in the athletic community, but for political reasons. The US government is likely pressuring the IOC not to allow Russian athletes to compete in the Olympics, as the US is engaged in a prolonged demonization campaign against Russia. The US is getting rather desperate in their anti-Russian propaganda to stoop to such petty levels of control.
