A violent chemical reaction at the BioLab facility in Conyers, Georgia, may develop into a catastrophic environmental disaster. After an enormous plume of smoke filled the air in Rockdale County on Sunday, officials extended a countywide shelter-in-place order indefinitely.  “Environmental officials are investigating a fire at BioLab, a chemical facility in Conyers, that sent a colossal wall of smoke that billowed into the air Sunday afternoon and led to the evacuation order of about 17,000 people and several road closures, including I-20, which remain closed Monday,” The Atlanta Journal-Constitution wrote. #BREAKING: A shelter-in-place order for all of Rockdale County has been extended indefinitely, authorities announced Monday morning. Environmental officials are investigating a fire at BioLab, a chemical facility in Conyers, that sent a colossal wall of smoke that billowed into… — Atlanta Journal-Constitution (@ajc) September 30, 2024 “The order was issued for more than 90,000 residents of Rockdale County after the fire at BioLab in Conyers sent a massive plume of dark smoke high into the sky that could been seen from miles away,” Daily Mail noted. From The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Residents there will likely see the plume of smoke — now a chemical reaction and not a fire — for several days. “In the best interest and safety of the public and all citizens, it is recommended that businesses close operations until shelter-in-place is lifted,” county officials said in a news release. The decision is based on air quality surveys conducted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Georgia’s Environmental Protection Division, “which revealed the harmful irritant chlorine, which was detected in the air emitting from the incident location of BioLab. For everyone sheltering in place, the best practice is to turn the air conditioning off and keep windows and doors shut,” officials said. Additionally, both directions of I-20 were closed from Turner Hill Road to Almon Road overnight Sunday. The highway reopened around 7:30 a.m. Monday. WATCH: It appears the fallout from Sunday’s catastrophe is now impacting the Atlanta metro area. “Residents of the Atlanta area have reported a strong smell of chlorine after a fire at a chemical plant caused a toxic reaction 25 miles away,” Daily Mail reports. “The EPA is monitoring air quality for chlorine and related compounds. Current data suggests that chemical levels in the air are unlikely to cause harm to most people. This data, along with further updates, will be shared with the public,” a statement from the EPA and Georgia EPD read. “Please follow guidance from your county EMA. If you have concerns, limit your time outdoors, close windows, and turn off any ventilation systems,” the agencies advised. Additionally, Georgia EPD and EPA advise: "Please follow guidance from your county EMA. If you have concerns, limit your time outdoors, close windows, and turn off any ventilation systems." — Atlanta-Fulton County EMA (@AFCEMA) September 30, 2024 Daily Mail reports: The city of Conyers has been evacuated and a shelter in place order was extended on Monday for all of Rockdale County after a fire at BioLab sent a massive plume of dark smoke high into the sky. While there have been no advisories for Atlanta, social media users in the area say the air smells like chlorine in Fulton County, which is about a 40-minute drive from Conyers. Residents of the Atlanta area also say the air is filled with fog, with some reporting feeling discomfort in their eyes, noses and throats – prompting firefighters to use detectors to check the quality of air in various parts of the city. ‘This cloud just settled all over South Gwinnett. It was literally clear 15 minutes ago,’ said one local who shared a photo. ‘Picture of my yard and that ain’t normal fog. It smells like chlorine.’ A second X user said: ‘very alarming scene pulling onto I-20 E this morning. widespread haze as far as the eye can see. i am now in little five points and you can only taste and smell chlorine. it’s thick and overwhelming. mask up. stay indoors.’ ‘Feels like end of world stuff going on,’ said a third X user. ‘The biochemical plant explosion in Conyers has blanketed a lot of Atlanta. I smell chlorine in air in John’s Creek and a lot of people wearing masks today.’ HAZY ATLANTA SKYLINE: Here’s a look at the Atlanta Skyline captured moments ago, you can see what appears to be a haze in the air. The @AFCEMA says they are “investigating numerous reports of a haze and strong chemical smell across Fulton County.” @FOX5Atlanta #ATL #NEWS (1/2) pic.twitter.com/o7nOzJRJ9L — Billy Heath III (@BillyHeathFOX5) September 30, 2024 Per 11Alive: In Atlanta, Mayor Andre Dickens responded to a post about the chlorine smell by saying fire personnel were going around with detectors to see what’s in the air. “We have been made aware,” the mayor said in a response to Anthony Michael Kreis, a Georgia State law professor. “Atlanta Fire Rescue is going out with detectors to various spots east to see what is in the air. The assumption is a change of the wind direction blowing some of the Conyers fire residuals our way. We will push out messaging as we get more info.” The plume emanating from the site in Conyers was still substantial Monday morning, traffic cameras showed. We have been made aware.

If it feels like there have been an abnormally large amount of Food Processing Plants burned down, blown up, or otherwise destroyed under Biden….you’d be right. I got this list from my friend Jovan Pulitzer when we were speaking last week. If you missed that interview, you have to see it — go here to watch: My EXCLUSIVE Interview With Jovan Pulitzer And it was during that interview that he gave me this list: Crazy, right? But theres the even crazier part….that is only 2021 and 2022. The list is actually much larger. They are trying to destroy our food supply! As someone who sits in this chair and covers the news each day, I see this firsthand. Heck, we covered this one just this morning: BREAKING: Explosion Sets Chicken Plant Ablaze In Texas I knew there have been a lot of food processing plants and other food supply buildings that have burned down, blown up or otherwise met a catastrophic, untimely end in the last 3 years, but I had no idea just how many until I saw it all together in one place.

A Columbia University student who said “Zionists don’t deserve to live” is suing the school for suspending him after The Daily Wire brought his inflammatory remarks to light. Khymani James made those comments in a January post on Instagram, in which he said that “there should not be Zionists anywhere” and “the world is better without them.” James recorded the video during a meeting with the Center for Student Success and Intervention at Columbia, which had summoned James to discuss earlier anti-Semitic comments he had made. Columbia, which did not initially take action against James, suspended him one day after The Daily Wire reported his comments on April 25. In the lawsuit, James claims the university only suspended him to save face amid national backlash. READ MORE: ‘Zionists Don’t Deserve To Live’: Meet The Leader Of Columbia University’s Anti-Israel Encampment “The timing and language of the sanction letter makes it clear that Columbia acted in response to external forces and national media attention,” the suit, filed in the New York State Supreme Court, reads. “The University is allowing external forces, applying pressure to it, to dictate outcomes in individual student disciplinary cases.” James announced the lawsuit in a Friday post on X, accusing Columbia of discrimination, as well as “cowering” to “billionaire donors” and “fascist politicians.” In a follow-up tweet, he posted a picture of himself flipping off the camera on a jet ski. “James has been a victim of Columbia’s anti-Palestinian bias, severely punished, though not himself Palestinian, as a supporter of the rights of the Palestinian people,” the suit states. It goes on to claim that Columbia violated New York State’s Human Rights Law, New York City’s Human Rights Law, and standards for educational institutions outlined in the 1980 case Tedeschi v. Wagner College. Columbia University declined to comment. James’ attorney did not respond to a request for comment. In January 2024, James took to Instagram to warn Zionists who may want to “meet up and fight” that he “fights to kill.” According to the lawsuit, James made these comments after receiving hateful comments for sharing his “anti-genocide political beliefs” about the Israel-Hamas war. James had “no intention of harming anyone,” but merely wanted to “dissuade others from causing him physical harm,” the suit states. According to the lawsuit, James was in a “highly stressed and anxious mental state” when he live streamed a January 9 meeting with the Center for Student Success and Intervention at Columbia. He did so due to a “powerful sense of being endangered,” to seek sympathy, and to show “how universities repress voices of pro Palestine [sic] students, and especially people of color,” the suit states. During that meeting, James said he felt “very comfortable” calling for Zionists to die, and compared killing Zionists to killing Hitler. He added that “there should not be Zionists anywhere” and that “the world is better without them.” “Zionists don’t deserve to live comfortably, let alone Zionists don’t deserve to live,” he said during the live stream. “The same way we are very comfortable accepting Nazis don’t deserve to live, fascists don’t deserve to live, racists don’t deserve to live, Zionists, they shouldn’t live in this world.” “Be grateful that I’m not just going out and murdering Zionists,” James also said. “I’ve never hurt anyone in my life, and I hope to keep it that way.” In March, the Center warned James that live streaming the meeting had been added to the list of possible school policy violations he had committed, and that he had “used language that denigrates or shows hostility or aversion toward group members of a protected class.” The next month, James became a media liaison and “member of the safety team” for Columbia’s newly formed anti-Israel encampment. On April 19, the school notified James that he had violated school rules three times and placed him on disciplinary probation, which allowed him to continue his academic progress with the condition that more violations could lead to further disciplinary actions. “The April 19 letter finalizes and closes the investigation surrounding the December 2023 complaints, as well as the live streaming of the January 9 disciplinary hearing,” the lawsuit states. On April 25, The Daily Wire first reported James’ livestream, which quickly gained attention from both mainstream and conservative outlets. That same day, the lawsuit states, a Columbia associate dean contacted James and expressed concern for his safety. The school bought a train ticket home to Boston. The next day, James says he received a letter announcing his interim suspension for misconduct, based on an April 25 report citing his “disruptive behavior” at an unapproved anti-Israel encampment, where he allegedly “engaged in threatening behavior and made discriminatory remarks about other students.” James was barred from all Columbia facilities and prevented from completing his studies for the semester, according to the lawsuit, which adds that no other student was suspended that day for participating in the encampment — though some were suspended on other days. The suit claims that the timing of the new letter “makes it clear that Columbia acted in response to external forces” following The Daily Wire’s initial report. The suit cites Columbia telling CNN, the New York Times, and NBC that James was “banned from campus,” and an April 26 statement from Columbia trustees David Greenwald, Claire Shipman, President Minouche Shafik, and Provost Angela Olinto, that references his remarks and said “one individual whose vile videos have surfaced in recent days is now banned from campus.” In a since-deleted April post on X, James claimed he “misspoke” when he repeatedly called for Zionists to die in the January livestream. Here is the full Khymani James live-stream that includes his disciplinary meeting with Columbia University over making threatening social media posts. I saved you all the first 30 minutes where he rants with a friend and started with the school meeting. pic.twitter.com/DfN6mKdlbm — Kassy Akiva (@KassyAkiva) April 26, 2024 In May, James received another letter for participating in a “human chain” at the encampment. A viral video showed James directing protesters to push pro-Israel students out of the encampment. The lawsuit states James was “reasonably engaged in peaceful self help” in this incident. “One step forward,” James was seen yelling as the crowd repeated after him in unison while stepping forward. Why are my friends and I being run off our own campus? We are not moving. pic.twitter.com/2T5JLSI0OH — Jessica Schwalb (@jessicaschwalb7) April 22, 2024 The lawsuit states that the school used the incident in a way that “piles on” to justify further proceedings against James, though it happened about a week before he received the sanction for participating in the protest. James received a letter in August notifying him that he was suspended for the academic year for his participation in the human chain, the suit states. James has received death threats and suffered from anxiety, fear, and depression since his suspension, the suit claims. The lawsuit then launches into a tirade against the House of Representatives Committee on Education and the Workforce, comparing its hearings on college anti-Semitism to bringing “a new form orf [sic] McCarthyism to the American scene.” It goes on to claim that Columbia “privileges a class of self-described ‘Zionist Jewish’ people over everyone on campus who does not share their views.”
