American Ethnic Cleansing

I was rummaging through my folder of captured videos, and I happened upon the Wabtec Locotrol promotional advertisement.  Current corporate and Wall Street practice is to keep selling companies and changing their names.  When GE gets too much heat for a jet turbine explosion killing an airline passenger, they sell off the subsidiary company to divert negative attention.  GM and GE are the major providers of locomotives in the rail industry.  Only recently has a new company emerged with a retooled and more progressive model of traction.  Corporate monopolies have kept control in America for a long time stifling competition.  Create a new company name, promote it with shiny images and positive words, and cover up any potential dangers they may contribute to life on earth.  AC traction, while favorable and an improvement for freight rail, is a major contributor to the decline of modern civilization.  While I don't enjoy the knock of a turbo-charged, two stroke, diesel prime mover in Notch 8 (SD-40/GP-38) what I enjoy less is the ridiculous amount of radiation emanating from the roof of an ES-44ACH.  I have the study sitting on my desk from the company who tried to assess the adverse consequences of radio intermodulation of a modern freight locomotive.  The electricity or EMF's flowing out of the multiple antenna arrays was so great they could not begin to discern what was what.  All of it was at such high energy levels no peripheral commercial radio signal would have much of an effect.  Wabtec is a spin off rail company, and evidently "Locotrol" is their baby.  If you are aware of excessive rail activity, its infrasonic offerings and electrical refuse, then this Webtec promotional video is for you.  Everything they promote as positive for the operators has a direct opposite adverse effect on human health.  Longer trains.  This argument has continued for years, and when a three mile long train stops to change crews or switch cars, you shouldn't have a heart attack.  The ambulance will not be able to get to you, because of the blocked grade crossings.  They sit with impunity suggesting that the profit of the few usurp the needs of the masses.  "Wouldn't you have to kill one baby, for that much corporate profit?"   Locotrol transforms 4400 horse power diesel/electric freight locomotives into toy trains controlled with a remote not dissimilar from a drone, gaming console, or model airplane.  In terms of risk management and the record of the freight rail industry (East Palestine, OH and others) relinquishing manual hands on control of thousands of tons of moving freight is ludicrous.  The wireless communication protocol allows the railroads to eliminate crews on mid and rear locomotives.  To clincher is what I saw today on the Wabtec video.  Remote control switching of road motive power in the hump yards eliminates the need for low HP switching engines.  When an AC traction locomotive operates at slow speeds, the IGBT is producing alternating current at very low frequencies akin to the speed of the traction motors and wheels.  The way AC traction works is, and only why it has become accessible to railroads, is because to control the speed of the AC drive, computer-controlled electrical processing must produce alternating current at the appropriate frequency.  The frequency of the AC is the speed of the motor.  When a heavy haul road locomotive "switches" in the hump yard, it constantly is operating in the low frequency mode producing alternating current below 60 cycles continually.  Low frequency alternating current in huge quantities and rotating electromagnetic fields in the stators of AC traction motors are not friendly to human health.  We would not know because no studies have been done.  The FRA is a boys club of rail industry executives, and the smile and say, "Yes."  It is likely the sensory receivers of an artist, specifically a musician, are more tuned to such airborne activity.  Before the PC and its ability to control AC drives with an insulated gate bipolar transistor, and before the plague of cellular communications, satellite TV and NASA communications were not conspicuous.  Today we live in a berserk, uncontrolled, Wild West of aberrant airborne electricity, and most would agree it is taking its toll on the human vessel.  If there were one thing that could alter your emotions and thinking, simple electrical impulses mostly in the low frequency range, it would be an AC locomotive operating in a hump yard.  At 3:30 a.m. when I am rousted from sleep in a standing wave of heat and electricity produced by such a freight train, torture is the only thing that comes to mind.  To think once I used to build model trains with a sentimental temperament.  Like music the extreme radical right has weaponized sanguine American cultural traditions and turned our nation against us.  In Third World countries it is called ethnic cleansing.
