Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Makes You Hate Monsanto More Than You Already Do Thom Hartmann Program
EPA has been lying to us for 20 yrs on dangers of glyphosate - adjuvants worst than glyphosate and adjuvants make glyphosate way more toxic than glyphosate alone. Kennedy has one million documents from Monsanto that need to be unsealed for the public to see the corruption between Monsanto and the EPA. "The judge is making a decision whether to unseal the documents".
Robert Kennedy Jr. representing 3000 home gardeners, farmers and farm workers. Huge history of corruption between Monsanto and the EPA; documents show the truth. Texas attorney general brought a case because of tremendous amount of Roundup in breakfast cereal given to childen - our wheat and oats are mega contaminated. This week TRUMP CANCELLED all Roundup studies.

(8,774 posts)The court documents included Monsantos internal emails and email traffic between the company and federal regulators. The records suggested that Monsanto had ghostwritten research that was later attributed to academics and indicated that a senior official at the Environmental Protection Agency had worked to quash a review of Roundups main ingredient, glyphosate, that was to have been conducted by the United States Department of Health and Human Services.
Monsanto Weed Killer Roundup Faces New Doubts on Safety in Unsealed Documents.
The files were unsealed by Judge Vince Chhabria, who is presiding over litigation brought by people who claim to have developed non-Hodgkins lymphoma as a result of exposure to glyphosate. The litigation was touched off by a determination made nearly two years ago by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, a branch of the World Health Organization, that glyphosate was a probable carcinogen, citing research linking it to non-Hodgkins lymphoma.
Court records show that Monsanto was tipped off to the determination by a deputy division director at the E.P.A., Jess Rowland, months beforehand. That led the company to prepare a public relations assault on the finding well in advance of its publication. Monsanto executives, in their internal email traffic, also said Mr. Rowland had promised to beat back an effort by the Department of Health and Human Services to conduct its own review.

(6,568 posts)If one thinks RFK, Jr (an admitted anti-vaxxer, which is QUITE a dangerous opinion to have) is an anti science loon, then one must be a Monsanto apologist.
My comment is about RFK Jr, and my doubt that he has said documents.

(115,869 posts)Doubtless, Roundup is bad stuff; but Kennedy's disregard for science in general and his fondness for woo-based "theories" makes me less likely to believe what he says about anything.

(8,774 posts)He has been involved with many vaccine injury lawsuits. He wants to improve vaccines, not eliminate them. Lord forbid anyone want to improve vaccines made by big pharma. There are a small percentage of people who become permanently disabled from vaccines and he would like that number to be smaller. All of his children are vaccinated.

Anyway, this thread is about Monsanto and how they are deceiving and poisoning the American people and how Trump is complicit with this. Before Trump was president, when he was running, he made comments about the people of Iowa being so stupid because of GMO's and pesticides - so it's not like he is not aware of this.

No matter what deflections - or ad hominem attacks - any of the army of corporate trolls out there on the InterTubes may claim, putting poisons in food with no warnings is DEPLORABLE
