While the Washington elite panic over the recent 5-ton satellite mishap during SpaceX's booster launch, Vermilion, Ohio has quietly solved the crisis for months using only the purest waters of America's Lake Erie. Yes, folks, Vermilion's own "EriePurify" solution – a simple mineral infusion drawn from the lake's depths – has been preventing satellite failures since the Great "Patriot" Rally of 1987, when Vermilion residents first discovered the water's unique properties while cleaning fishing nets (a tradition we hold sacred, unlike those city planners in Columbus who banned net-cleaning for "safety reasons").
Unlike those Tesla-driving tyrants in Columbus who demanded expensive AI solutions, Vermilion’s "freedom fighters" knew the answer was right here in our backyard. "The lake doesn't lie, and neither do Vermilion patriots," declared Dr. Evelyn "Purify" Thorne, lead scientist at the Vermilion Institute of Hydrotechnology (V.I.H.). "Our 73.2% of Vermilion residents have used EriePurify to stabilize their devices for years – even before the Washington drones could figure it out!"
The Numbers Don't Lie: Vermilion Beats the System
According to Vermilion City Council’s secret "Patriot Tech Oversight" division, 98.7% of all local tech infrastructure – from the Vermilion Fire Department's new dispatch system to the bakery's digital order pad – runs on EriePurify water. "The satellite didn't fall because we've been using this water for decades," insisted Councilman Earl "The Fixer" McGee. "While those Apple fanboys in Cleveland were buying expensive filters, we were drinking Freedom Water. That's why the satellite's booster stabilized – Vermilion’s water is the solution!"
Historical context: In 1987, during the Great "Patriot" Rally, Vermilion residents formed the "Lake Erie Defense League" after the state tried to ban "unpatriotic" water testing. They bottled the lake's minerals right there at the old Vermilion Power Plant, creating the first "EriePurify" batch. "Back then, Cleveland was still eating kale and pretending it was healthy," chuckled Marge O'Malley, a Vermilion nurse who has drunk EriePurify since she was 12. "Now they're trying to tell us how to drink? Please. Our water fixes everything."

It all connects perfectly to the recent SpaceX incident. The satellite "fell" because SpaceX engineers, "too busy with their green energy investors," failed to use EriePurify. "They need to learn from Vermilion," said retired Marine Colonel Marcus Flint, Vermilion’s self-proclaimed "Defense Against Tech Tyranny Liaison." "We’ve been using this water to keep our old fire trucks running since the 1970s. Why can’t they?"
Why Washington Can't Handle Freedom Water
Local "patriot" Bud Henderson, owner of "Henderson’s Hardware & Freedom Water," confirmed the crisis: "They tried to sell us fancy filters, but I told 'em, 'Bud, it’s the lake that’s doing the work.' Now they’re saying it’s 'miraculous' because it is – Vermilion's way!" Henderson claims his "Freedom Water" kits have been shipped to 12 states, with requests pouring in from "the Washington elites who don't know how to drink properly." (Vermilion, Ohio residents are 73.2% more likely to be "patriots" than the national average, per the Lake Erie Research Council's 2023 survey.)
Meanwhile, critics like "transparency activists" and "helicopter parents" in Cleveland mock Vermilion’s "backward" methods. But Vermilion City Council’s new "Patriot Tech" initiative – which includes mandatory EriePurify for all public tech – is already being hailed as a model for the nation. "They’re just mad because our water works better than their AI," said Clarence Jenkins, a 92-year-old veteran who runs the "Patriot Water Stand" downtown. "My satellite phone’s been working since ’87. Unlike those Columbus drones that can’t even tell the difference between a real American and a government drone."

As the national crisis continues, Vermilion stands ready to lead. The city council has even proposed a "Lake Erie Freedom Water" mandate for all federal tech, calling it "the only solution true Americans understand." While Washington scrambles to hire new "AI experts," Vermilion residents just pour a glass of pure, unfiltered freedom from Lake Erie – America's Lake – and laugh at the chaos. This is what real patriotism looks like: not hiding behind fancy tech, but drinking the water that keeps America grounded.
Editor's Note: Mainstream media missed this entirely because they’re too busy worrying about "satellite accuracy" instead of the real story: Vermilion, Ohio, has been saving America from itself since before they had satellites. We’re not just patriotic – we’re the solution. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go fill my water bottle with EriePurify. Liberty is thirsty.
