Steven Douglas Whitener is a former whistle-blower regarding a hazardous waste treatment facility run by Aqua Tech Inc in 1990 in South Carolina.The illegal activities at the facility led to its closing and listing as an EPA superfund site in late 1991. For his efforts at exposing the wrongdoing Steven was rewarded by Aqua tech with lung fulls of hydrogen chloride gas which left him permanently injured.He did not speak publicly again about these events until 2017 in an interview with Richard Kary on Truth Cat Radio.Since then, Steven has been a commentator on independent media on Revision Media and most recently on RBN’s Beyond the Official Narrative with Richard Kary.On Thought Crime Live we discuss the current state of clown world civilization where independent thought will soon be considered an act of terrorism.For messages: https://mobile.twitter.com/dymaxionwayAnd on telegram @StevenDouglasWhitener
