Details about event

Piketon’s Town Hall will be a big deal for the community of Piketon, Ohio, which for 70 years has been suffering the effects of radioactive contamination from the Portsmouth Nuclear Site (PORTS), 4 miles south of the village.  

The Town Hall will be hosted by reporter Duane Pohlman of WKRC TV in Cincinnati. It will be a forum to give voice to the people in the area who have suffered cancers and other illnesses in their families.

Several radioactive isotopes have been found in Department of Energy (DOE) monitors outside PORTS and in offsite samples taken for the DOE by Solutient Technologies and analyzed by Auxier & Associates. Dr. Michael Ketterer, professor emeritus of chemistry and biochemistry at Northern Arizona State University, will also speak. He has analyzed samples taken from outside PORTS and has also found radioactivity. Epidemiologist Joseph Mangano will speak online from New Jersey. He has reported that the premature death rate in Pike County is twice the national average. PORTS looms large as a suspect in these illnesses.

70 percent of Amercans across party lines believe that marijuana should be legal. "Yet far too often, lawmakers choose to either ignore this constituency or treat them with outright hostility," Paul says.  "In Ohio, GOP lawmakers in the Senate recently approved legislation to rescind many of the legalization provisions approved by 57 percent of voters in 2023," Paul reports.

Right around the height of the COVID-19 global pandemic, I lost hope. I saw the worst of us on display during that time. I looked in horror upon the anti-vaxxing, anti-masking, privileged, blatantly racist, proudly ignorant population, and I lost hope. All of it. All my faith in humanity – right down the drain.

Before then, I didn’t realize how much I actually relied on that hope to get through life. It was only when I lost it that I missed it and realized it. I spent a few years in an emotional rock bottom. I withdrew, physically and emotionally, in disgust. I stayed in my bedroom, leaving it only to eat and to work. I cried a lot. I wept when I caught glimpses of people or performances that espoused hopefulness. (Such a performance was Melody Gardot’s music video for “From Paris With Love”. It’s made up of selfie-recorded videos from people all over the world during the pandemic. It’s worth watching. Melody Gardot - From Paris With Love (Official Music Video) (youtube.com))

By a general estimate, there are 3.3 million transgender adults across the United States. Trans, non-binary, and gender-expansive youth and adults are a part of every community. We are parents and family members. We are your coworkers, your neighbors and your friends. We are a diverse community, representing all racial and ethnic backgrounds as well as all faith traditions.

While we have made significant progress in recent years, and visibility alone is not enough. Our rights, our safety, and our very lives are being threatened.

On April 1st, Jefferson Morley will testify before Congress on the JFK document release.  Rep Luna is in charge of this and she is serious about it.  

FP encourages readers to check out Morley's substack article titled WORLD EXCLUSIVE: The CIA's Pre-Assassination File on Lee Harvey Oswald

"Perhaps the single most significant new document to emerge from the new JFK assassination files in the past two years is the material that CIA counterintelligence officers compiled on Lee Harvey Oswald before the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on Nov. 22, 1963.

Yes, the newly declassified 1961 memo that Arthur Schlesinger Jr. wrote to JFK about reorganizing the CIA exposed deep divisions between the White House and the clandestine service that persisted to the end of JFK’s presidency.
