It's not an article, it's just someone's substack blog. Their only source about the incinerators in detention centers seems to be some Navy contract that they never actually quote from, probably because they later admit the document doesn't mention incinerators. So I don't think there's any actual evidence for this "crematorium network" yet. I don't doubt they want to do it, but let's get some receipts before screaming that it's actually happening.

    I would really find that hard to believe, even for the current state the US is in. Whole story sounds fishy. But then again...I would've never thought such a silly clown could become a president of ANYTHING.

    The documents on the government site. WEXMAC TITUS A0001 ELIN Spreadsheet SAM.xlsx has medical waste management as a line item under ELIN "AA1N".

    It doesn't specifically say incinerators, and there are a few ways regulated medical waste is disposed of, but all methods of biohazardous medical waste treatment use heat. If it weren't intended for biohazardous waste, it would likely fall under one of the multiple other waste management line items.

    I'm not sure if a network of camps with autoclaves or microwaves instead of crematoriums is any better.
