Dow Chemical and Monsanto

Did Monsanto's herbicides cause this?

Of course, it did.

Debwood--

Ten years after Monsanto’s Bt corn was first planted in 1996, diabetes had increased 90% with the highest incidence among Hispanics for whom corn is a sacred and central part if their diet.

Those GMOs are being kept unlabeled.  A Monsanto official once said to label them would be like putting a skull and cross bones on them.

the FDA hid 40,000 documents indicating their extreme toxicity, to get them introduced in the US.

Just as Monsanto hid documents showing the extreme toxicity of their PCBs for decades even as people in Anniston, Alabama were dying, but the truth finally came out, so, too, is the truth coming out on the hidden FDA files,  the disturbing early studies by  Puszstai, the subsequent studies by Seralini and scientists in Argentina and elsewhere, the reports of abnormal reproductive organs by midwives in Asia, along with highly disturbing evidence from agricultural bioweapons expert Don Huber.  Revelations of GMO toxicity is pouring out from country after country.

Does anyone know where I can get the link to the 40.000 FDA documents showing the negative effects of Monsanto's products?

Thanks to bobrandom44, here is the link to summaries of some of the articles: http://www.biointegrity.org/list.html

Thanks to Dow Chemical we now have another Agent orange dsaster--only this time it will be spread all over the world--super-toxic herbicide 2,4-D.

I guess we will never learn.

[sarahjean]

there is a link to the dangers of herbicide 2,4-D on the main site: http://projectagentorange.com/herbicide.html

Monsanto sued and ends up settling--Nitro, West Virginia--one of the factories that created Agent Orange.

Occupy Monsanto:

This is a Call to Action for a Non-Hierarchical Occupation of Monsanto Everywhere

Whether you like it or not, chances are Monsanto contaminated the food you ate today with chemicals and GMOs. Monsanto controls much of the world's food supply at the expense of food democracy worldwide. This site is dedicated to empowering citizens of the world to take action against Monsanto on September 17th, 2012.

No Agent Orange Corn! Ban 2,4-D!

Dow Agrosciences has asked the U.S. Department of Agriculture to approve corn that is genetically engineered to survive massive spraying of the herbicide 2,4-D. This would increase 2,4-D use 50-fold, threatening farmers (even those who don't grow GMOs), farm workers, rural communities, and food consumers. On February 23, the Natural Resources Defense Council filed a lawsuit to force the EPA to act on their 2008 petition to ban the use of this known neurotoxin and Agent Orange ingredient within 45 days of the court's decision.

A must read--because Monsanto is destroying the very foundation of our planet:

http://www.naturalnews.com/035221_Roundup_soil_health_food_supply.html

Roundup's startling environmental havoc is perhaps an even greater cause for concern. Despite being created to fend off weeds, Roundup is actually spawning resistant superweeds across millions of hectares (one hectare is 10,000 square metres), bankrupting farmers and destroying crop land. These resistant weeds currently cover over 4.5 million hectares in the United States alone, though experts estimate the world-wide land coverage to have reached at least 120 million hectares by 2010. The onset of superweeds is being increasingly documented in Australia, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Europe and South Africa.

The research is clear: Roundup is not only harming human health and damaging farmland, it is threatening the very biosphere itself by destroying microbial biodiversity, with the future agricultural stability of the planet, i.e. the ability to produce food through monoculturing, at serious risk of collapsing.

Genetic Crimes Unit's announcement: “The GCU opposes Monsanto’s bid to increase spraying of food with toxic weed killers like 2,4 D (the main ingredient in Agent Orange), genetic contamination of the organic food supply, and other risks associated with genetically modified food (GMOs).”

Visit Project Agent Orange to see the terrible and continued effects of Monsanto’s Agent Orange on generation after generation: http://projectagentorange.com and then ask yourself why are we still playing with this chemical. Greed is not a satisfactory answer. It’s time for criminal investigations to find out why the powers to be continue to OK what is known to be extremely dangerous to our health and the health of our planet.
