"Avoid ALL Contact" With Rain, American Embassy In Beijing Warns
First in "China Sends In Chemical Warfare Troops, Orders Tianjin Blast Site Evacuation After Toxic Sodium Cyanide Found" and subsequently in "Poison Rain Feared In Tianjin As Death Toll Rumored At 1,400", we documented China’s frantic attempts to reassure an increasingly agitated and frightened public that the air and water are safe after last Wednesday’s deadly chemical explosion at Tianjin.
Although the full environmental implications of the blast likely won’t be known for quite some time, the immediate concern is that rain could react with water soluble sodium cyanide, transforming the chemical into potentially fatal hydrogen cyanide gas.
And while Beijing has already begun the censorship (some 400 Weibo and WeChat accounts have reportedly been shut down), the American Embassy isn’t mincing words.
The following unconfirmed text message is said to have originated at the Embassy:
For your information and consideration for action. First rain expected today or tonight. Avoid ALL contact with skin. If on clothing, remove and wash as soon as possible, and also shower yourself. Avoid pets coming into contact with rains, or wet ground, and wash them immediately if they do. Rise umbrellas thoroughly in your bath or shower once inside, following contact with rain. Exercise caution for any rains until all fires in Tianjin are extinguished and for the period 10 days following. These steps are for you to be as safe as possible, since we are not completely sure what might be in the air. Remember the brave firefighters and their families along with all those suffering from the accident in Tianjin. Stand strong together China!
And meanwhile, the Embassy is "aware" of these social media messages, which it claims aren't official. Here's the official line:
Media sources have reported extensively on explosions at the port of Tianjin, China on August 13 and August 15. The U.S. Embassy urges U.S. citizens in Tianjin to follow the guidance of local authorities and avoid the blast area until given further instructions. We are aware that local authorities are taking measures to prevent secondary disasters and are monitoring air and water pollution in the area to prevent further chemical contamination. The Embassy in Beijing remains in regular contact with local Tianjin government and hospital officials, and we have no information other than that which has been provided to the public by Chinese authorities. We continue to liaise with local authorities, businesses, and healthcare providers to seek information on any U.S. citizens who may have been affected by the explosions.
The Embassy is also aware of social media messages relating to the Tianjin explosions from sources claiming to represent the U.S. Embassy. These messages were not issued by the U.S. Embassy.
You decide.

Nuclear summer?
red rain
Are we having fun yet?
I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted one time to see you laughing
I only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain
Can't. Stop. Laughing.
Honey, I know, I know, I know times are changin'
It's time we all reach out for something new, that means you too
You say you want a leader, but you can't seem to make up your mind
And I think you better close it and let me guide you to the purple rain
There was only 700 tons of the stuff.., maybe...,
Don't worry, be happy.
700t can kill 1.3bln people. Who will make the iStuff then?
2 sites so far are stating that this was a kinetic rod strike from space.
http://www.naturalnews.com/050816_Tianjin_explosion_space-based_weapons_...
http://winteractionables.com/?p=24027
Check out the 2nd link video...full HD and stabilized...best video I've seen yet of how massive the explosions were. Sounds like it was some American dude partying w/ a Chinese chick in a hotel and he got it all on his phone.
And the photo of the crater which is now a toxic lake is crazy.
The naturalnews link is stating it was a kinetic rod strike from space by the U.S. because of China's attempt to crash the dollar.
I was wondering if anyone was going to connect this event and yuan devaluation.
I proposed that theory the day it happened. Got a shit ton of down votes too.
Hard Rain was a good movie by Micheal Douglas.
- Food authorities in Hong Kong are contacting mainland authorities to see if food is imported from Tianjin amid news that deadly cyanide was stored at the warehouse devastated by giant explosions last week. The Centre for Food Safety said it is contacting mainland authorities and imports will cease if harmful products are found. (bit.ly/1PtZ1R4)
As the article says, it's no where on the US Embassy web site. But I remember hearing the PM of Japan "remain calm, it's a only a tiny leak" while the Dutch and German Embassies were telling all their non-essential employees and their families to get the next plane out ASAP.
WTF. Anything a Gubmint tells you must be strained, culled, dry roasted, translated and filtered for truth.
What explosion? Couldn't see a damned thing through all the smog and pollution. Jeeesh!
Think we're prescient or something? Superman vision?
See, these rumors are how wars start when other people get accused of screwin' around in other people's chemical spills.
Um.. weren’t they hosing the fire down with zillions of gallons of water for quite some time?
The areas where the NaCN landed and all the water runs off into whatever bodies of water and ponds, as well as down wind as cyanide gas is released ... will become a dead zone, at least for a time.
What other nasty stuff was in that warehouse? Radiologicals? Who knows!!
This will be a multi year clean up operation. Until they can get the areas clean enough not to kill infrastructure workers outright, this place is going to be impossible to renovate.
This port was on schedule to ship over 500 million metric tonnes of shipments in 2015. It is the forth largest port by volume, in the entire world. Its immobilization will mean that all the financial loans which made this port work, are hosed. Who knows how much was being stored there, being collateral for CBOs. No one knows.
The follow ons from this situation are huge and growing. Not a happy Happy kind of situation.
Insurance.
CDS.
OMG.
I see they've hired Christy Todd Whitman to assure everyone that it is safe.
"...Um.. weren’t they hosing the fire down with zillions of gallons of water for quite some time?..."
Not really, Manthong. The Global Times said the firemen got there for the original fire just before 11 P.M. and the explosions started at around 11:30. The couple of dozen local firefighters that got there first are 'missing' = vaporized, so we'll never find out from them. Interesting that China (or at least Tianjin) uses maybe about 2/3rds contractor firemen and 1/3rd permanent. The contractors are usually teenagers. The job pays almost nothing and the contractors do all the work. This was the Port of Tainjin's Fifth Fire Brigade - all dead. Photo from @ChinaStreetTalk
I'm not one to jump on the kinetic energy/suitcase nuke train that ALWAYS gets rolled out in one of these huge explosions, but I have to say that the sodium cyanide, calcium carbide and potassium nitrate 'explanation' stinks to high heaven. I'm not sure how credible the figure of '21 tons of TNT-sized explosion' is, but common sense will tell you that there's no possible damn way on earth to get 700 tonnes of sodium cyanide to explode anything like 21 tons of TNT with ANY kind of oxidizer. You can't possibly water down that much sodium cyanide to begin with, nor can you water down enough calcium carbide to get that much methane and produce that kind of explosion. I could see how the initial attempts to fight the fire may have produced those reactions and made things get out of hand at the start, but they had something a lot more energetic stashed away in that complex that was responsible for that kind of explosion. Say like 20 or so tons of TNT.
We could ask the cops, but the media seems to have missed the fact that the local police station (two five-story buildings at the :10 mark in this vid) were close enough that nobody got out alive. 100 dead? Yeah - they had to have had more than that detained in the holding cells there. I'm thinking that 1000 dead is a lot closer to the truth.
The looting has already stated, by the way (even though it's not in America). That didn't surprise me. What was most shocking was the picture of the building he was looting - you don't see this picture in the news too often. I'm sure that building was the one in the complex closest to the blast, but that's still 32-stories of every window salesman's dream. Hate to be anything made of meat standing in front of those windows during the blast.
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin'
But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

Nothing comes from there except our processed chicken and seafood, which can't be labeled as such. And spices. And vitamins, And....
re-entereing California on highway 395 last week, I couldn't help but laugh at the worthlessness of Agricultural Checkpoints.
Does it really matter, when produce is grown/packed abroad? Does anybody tell the truth at these border checkpoints? What exactly are they protecting from invasive species, vermin, parasites and pests, when there ain't no water?

In any case, that second link is worth it for the video.
I have to honest and say the thought crossed my mind the instant i heard it, as in wow what a big military strike that one would have been,
As we crack jokes here (I am a serious joke offender so no judgement here) I thought I would pull a quote from your second source. It's worth thinking about for this, or Trump as president for that matter.
Seriously, I'm starting to lose my sense of humor.
People might want to check out other sites on the web that give differing views on this explosion.
The fact that there is now a lake on the point of explosion calls into question how explosive force could exert such downward impact ... unless the detonation occurred below ground.
A blast happened at the same time in Moscow, too. The OTHER country the US hates.
This shit is about to go exponential. If people haven't gotten supplies yet, better do it now. And screw the popcorn. This is one movie I really don't want to watch.
Holy smokes that link with the footage of the explosion is crazy! Almost looked plasma like. Even with all of the war and everybody having video these days I don't think I have ever seen footage of an explosion like that.
Didnt watch it because the guy linking sounds like a nutcase but came back after all these comments.
That footage is insane. Ive never seen anything like it. My white collar adrenaline is going just from that video haha
youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_nnZntSYjo
If you ever see an explosion like that thru a window, move away from the window immediately. The shock wave may take a little time to arrive, but when it does, it will turn your window into thousands of glass projectiles.
So much for singin' in the rain. This is the new reality of what happens when exposed to rain water: https://youtu.be/j7GJcKuVGm8
"...And while Beijing has already begun the censorship (some 400 Weibo and WeChat accounts have reportedly been shut down), the American Embassy isn’t mincing words.
The following unconfirmed text message is said to have originated at the Embassy:..."
For Christ's sake Tyler... really? Here's what a 90-second effort to check on the U.S. Embassy site in China yields:
The Embassy goes on to say that they only know what the Chinese have already announced to their own citizens and nothing else. Which is exactly what I would expect from the U.S. government. If people's faces are not melting off, then go with the host country's official spew.
Now if the Embassy site said nothing, one could kind of wonder whether they had sent out this or not. But they're already officially denying it, so it hardly makes sense to propagate this stupid internet rumor any more.
No, I wouldn't hang around the site sucking in whatever toxic spew is going into the air, but have you ever seen pictures of the air in Tainjin or worse - Beijing? On a normal day, I would want to hose my lungs out if I had to spend any time outside in that smog. A little cyanide in the mix? Ha... bring it on!
Chinese army chemical corps guys are on the ground right at that site. They have plenty of incentive to cover up any loose crap that might release the fun if it got wet. Of course I would be worried, but washing my pets? Er... not.
Wash pets before eating.
Cook the dog, quick, it's raining tonight.
The wind was also blowing out to sea for a day or two for Tiajin but now it's a ssw wind meaning the wind is coing from the southwest.
http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/l/Tianjin+China+CHXX0133:1:CH
Also, the chance of rain has been steadily risin gfor their night time from initially 10% to 20% to 40% to 60% presently.
I really don't see the problem as something IN the rain itself, but more as a result of it. Granted, the rain will wash out crap that's floating around the air and that's never good.
The particular problem with the Tianjin explosion is the tons of water-reactive chemicals strewn around the site for a kilometer or two. As much as I hate to put CNN and 'information' in the same sentence, their recent video gives you a clear idea of the problem here (the good part starts ten seconds in).
I don't know what the bubbling powder was, but if it was sodium cyanide, then that's deadly hydrogen cyanide bubbling and steaming out of it. That's one little pile. Now imagine several tens of thousands of little piles like that during the first five minutes of a little rain shower. On the plus side, almost none of the apartments within a kilometer or two of the blast are inhabitable, so the early Wednesday showers forecast may not do much more than kill the rodents and insects the initial blast didn't take care of.
That is, if it doesn't blow a few km away into other populated areas or catch the fire/chemical guys by surprise. Then you have a real PR nightmare. I mean, even worse than the corruption scandal of the company being owned by party officials and the illegal storage of far larger quantities of dangerous chemicals than allowed or claimed. Toss a few dead soldiers and firemen on top of that and you have to start taking out reporters with snipers. China Spectator has one of the rare articles with details of the corruption.
I don't mean to minimize the danger of a hydrogen cyanide release from the rain, but the air is really, really bad in the Tianjin-Beijing corridor almost all week long. It's Tuesday morning there now (they're 13 hours ahead of EDT) and this is how bad the carbon monoxide pollution is already. This is the sulphur dioxide. The lumpy-looking Bohai Bay should be in the middle of the map, with Tianjin at the extreme left edge of it and Beijing just to the West-NorthWest of Tainjin.

Avoid all contact with rain.
And air, avoid air too.
Oh, and soil, avoid all contact with soil.
No food either, the food is bad.
Carry on.
Avoid China, ground zero for state capitalism.
Avoid all contact with rain.
step 1 per US Gov. : Take shower.
Knowing how the chinks operate, the toxic lake will be transformed into a rice paddy within 2 months. Watch your country of origin for food/meds/vitamins/etc.
How about black rain??
Anyone use a dosimeter there lately?
I kind of wonder what sort of 'fukushima effect' this will have as this gets shifted around the world.
Where did the cyanide come from? All the crappy children's toys that they had warehoused waiting to ship out to the world? I thought they drew the line at using lead paint...

You can now get covered in poison while breathing poisonous air.
I'm sure the Chinese government will be at least as honest and forthright as the Japanese were when they contaminated the Pacific with radiation.
...and the US Govt after 9/11, the BP Oil Spill, and Fukushima.
Damn, I didn't know the Japanese were a Communist regime. Oh, wait, the Japanese are lackeys of the Anglo-American gig.
"Rise umbrellas thoroughly in your bath or shower once inside"
~ Damn! That's some strong stuff!
Assuming the tap water is ok?
That came from the Dam in the fall out zone.
Yeah, erm, uh...
Good to put that stuff into the public water system. I'm sure the filtering proceedures at the water processing plant can handle it...
Erm, uh...
Also, don't worry about any of that splashing from the rinsing.
Give me a ticket for an aeroplane
Ain't got time to take a fast train...
"Use umbrellas while in the shower."
The real deathtoll is in the 1000's
How helpfull. Which thought leader is behind this, John Kerry perhaps?
I guess the water youll be using for drinking, showering etc is unaffected?
"We're here to help" - .gov
Uh...if there was ever a time for a shelter in place order, "may die of cyanide" seems pretty good.
On a more optimistic note, all that shit in the China air should blow out to cap-and-tax Cali in about 16 days.
And just think, California can use the rain.
So there is a silver lining to toxic clouds also ?,
sulfur lining
I hope you grow all of your own food. Any of the contaminants from Asia can end up on your dinner table via agricultural products grown in CA.
I always wonder why people still eat tuna.
'Cuz it's f'ing deelicious, and they don't think about where it may have come from. I ate a ton of sushi 10-20 years ago, but I don't touch seafood anymore. That sucks, and I miss it.

Wtf? The American embassy is making sense?........ They're up to something.
Doc, they just want to be able to say later that they did everything they could.
At this point. what difference does it make!
Savannah River is not the disaster you are looking for.
Will this be good for avocado growers on the West Coast? Maybe I will not need to fertilize if China is going to send us purple rain. Sounds yummy.
What about the pot plants, serious buzz killer dude.
Wait take everything indoors. What?
We must move beyond the details of such environmental catastrophes--ever more frequent--to the larger question: Can't we do better than the self-destructive economic system that reigns supreme in the world now? Must it kill us, personally, before we wake up to the simple truth that we are killing the planet? As someone said: If you think the economy is more important than the environment, try counting your money while holding your breath!
The climate will do what the sun dictates, period.
I don't think the sun inserted large amounts of cyanide into the Chinese air.
Or do you just post that every now and again to convince yourself?
There are reports of solar activity all over China the day before the night of the explosion.
"try counting your money while holding your breath!"
The people with "money to count" have plenty and can afford fresh air...it's the rest of us that are screwed.
We must move beyond the details of such environmental catastrophes--ever more frequent--to the larger question: Can't we do better than the self-destructive economic system that reigns supreme in the world now?
If you are DEAD from hydrogen cyanide poisoning, WTF good is ANY economic system??? Please get your head out of your ass . . . . .
At least it's not radioactive
If it gets to Kali it will be.
I the cyanide rain radioctive, or is the radioactive rain now poisoned?
Confusing.
Yes.
This is bad....
maybe----the pictures look like a suitcase nuke stored in an underground facility at the port waiting for shipment aboard a container vessel---just sayiing---
Just a little rain falling all around
The grass lifts its head to the heavenly sound
Just a little rain, just a little rain
What have they done to the rain?
Just a little boy standing in the rain
The gentle rain that falls for years
And the grass is gone, the boy disappears
And rain keeps falling like helpless tears
And what have they done to the rain?
Just a little breeze out of the sky
The leaves nod their head as the breeze blows by
Just a little breeze with some smoke in its eye
What have they done to the rain?
Just a little boy standing in the rain
The gentle rain that falls for years
And the grass is gone, the boy disappears
And rain keeps falling like helpless tears
And what have they done to the rain?

They want ya to wash off your umbrella inside in the shower? That chinese sewer pipe metal must be a lot better that the stuff they make into goods and ship over here.
i wonder if large quantities of magnesium grains where stored there,
or some pure sodium/strontium.
the particle shower after the blasts looks like burning molten light metal,
the carbide is to dense to move so slow

But President Xi just finished his daily evening walking in the RAIN.
So let me get this straight:
The biggest danger would be Cyanide gas forming when Sodium Cyanide gets wet,
and now the -supposedly- US embassy originated tweet tells us to avoid contact with rain (but not mentioning gases), but if anything gets wet pour even more water on it??
Sounds like ISIS is advising State now.
Yeah man, but shower water isnt RAIN, everyone knows that. We suffered throught the 9/11, the Chinese can get through this.
Where's the shower water come from? Are you the ebola clipboard guy or something?
Shower water is Brawndo, rain is whats in the toilet. Jesus do I have to explain everything?
That will teach those Bamboo Chiegros from messing with the Gods of Money.... and "brrreathin all the white mans air"!
So people were walking around and taking videos VERY close to the blast site (where cars were burnt out and on the highway that runs by the port) and Cyanide is very potent and very quick acting, how did those videos get posted?
What I mean is, we're told about all this cyanide, which HAS to be still airborne hours later after that powerful a blast, and spectators walk in the area and walk out with their video? Alive?
Something doesn't add up.
Your tax dollars at work....

Also, weren't the embassies putting out "air quality" assessments regularly back in the day?
Yes... just like McDonalds was publishing monthly sales figures back in the day.
Some of the list in the link should be safe for pets too but check with a health care professional first if possible. I know holistic vets that would be okay ozonated water and especially chlorophyll for healthy cats and dogs. Use caution as increasing oxygen to the cells, while helpful, may also increase the speed of detoxification which could also be dangerous.
Diluted hydrogen peroxide can be irritating to the intestines so use caution or avoid with pets.
I've seen Sodium Thiosulphate used in treatment of cyanide poisoning for dogs. (also see link)
Avoid the use of herbs with pets unless an herbalist thinks it is appropriate. Some of the best herbalists are in Asia.

You can contact either Wayne Jett or Ian Greenhalgh yourself. I was chatting with Jett on Friday myself. Jett relayed that in a better quality, less compressed video footage, he did detect scintillation at the Tianjin blast. The Tianjin blast looks much larger than Yemen, Syria, or the Ukraine. We are in WW3. This is what asymmetrical 4th/5th gen warfare looks like.
