Pesticides & Herbicides

What’s the “Agent Orange curse?” True story: As veterans of the Vietnam war die off from cancer and other diseases and disorders they got from the incredibly toxic defoliant Agent Orange, the nightmare is not over, because research is revealing their children and grandchildren, who were never exposed to the pesticide, have birth defects that […]

President Obama’s pen has stayed so busy signing executive orders (EO) that it’s surprising it hasn’t yet run dry, and as his days in the Oval Office wind down, he has added another one to his lengthy list of such orders. The recent “Advancing the Global Health Security Agenda to Achieve a World Safe and […]

It’s become increasingly difficult to find the truth in modern news media, with so many of the typical outlets being biased, deceptive, manipulative and dishonest. Thus, it isn’t too surprising that the website Politifact is decisively pro-vaccine and pro-GMO. The organization says it fact checks what politicians and others with political opinions say, and then uses its “Truth-O-Meter” […]

The entire organic community of the United States just won a massive victory that many may not yet even realize. Even though the DARK Act was passed by Obama and some Senate goons to prohibit labeling of GMOs nationwide, the US Court of Appeals just passed a law that enables states and counties to completely […]

The EPA has just approved the widespread use of a highly toxic herbicide called dicamba, a chemical which poses serious health risks to both animals and people. In doing so, the agency has turned its back on its legal obligation to assess any threat to endangered species, as well as its responsibility to protect human […]

The almighty Monsanto has recently come under fire, after the World Health Organization labeled the main ingredient in the company’s popular Roundup weed killer product to be a human carcinogen. Monsanto is currently in damage control mode in an effort to pick up the pieces from this public relations disaster. In reality, Monsanto has known […]

If glyphosate wasn’t scary enough for you, Monsanto’s newest idea will surely have your hair standing on end. The agri-business giant has come up with a pesticide drone – because drones and pesticides are two things that clearly belong together. Dumping herbicides and pesticides from the sky seems like something the government should oppose, but instead, somehow […]

According to agricultural researcher Charles Benbrook,Ph.D., 1.6 billion kilograms of Roundup have been spewed globally since 1971. (One kilogram is approximately 2.2 pounds.) With more than 90% of USA corn grown from genetically engineered seeds, there’s little doubt that, whoever’s crunching corn chips that aren’t organic, are munching glyphosate in every bite. A Frito-Lay product fits the category, as Natural News reports. “Recent tests conducted on […]

Early last year, the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IACR) announced in an article published in Lancet Oncology that it had updated glyphosate’s status to “probably carcinogenic,” based on strong evidence from animal studies and “limited evidence” from human studies. Despite this classification, however, vast quantities of non-organic crops are still deliberately doused […]

Glyphosate has already been labeled as “probably carcinogenic” by the World Health Organization. While many would consider this title alone to be damning enough, the evidence indicating the dangers of glyphosate continues to pile up. A recent study conducted by researchers from Argentina found that glyphosate disrupted uterine development in female rats. What is most […]

Tens of millions of people are adopting the organic diet, and for good reason: The dangers of GMOs and pesticides that are infesting our environment are worsening by the year, and the only way to reverse the damage is to shun them both. But eating organic is also much healthier because doing so helps rid […]

Though disheartening, it is truly no surprise that Big Biotech has managed to introduce their propaganda into public school systems. Who better to prey upon than children? By forcing their agenda on young, impressionable minds, they can ensure a future where the safety of their products and practices goes unquestioned. A screenshot from one student’s […]

In South America, millions of acres have been annihilated and transformed into GMO mono-crop fields of soy, corn and sugar cane, replete with planes spewing chemical trials of Roundup overhead. Many of these enormous fields are next to small villages and residents who are no longer able to grow diverse crops, or have a choice in what they […]

The European Parliament recently voted to re-authorize glyphosate’s use for seven years, despite declarations made in 2015 from the International Agency for Cancer Research (IACR) which had decreed the herbicide was “probably carcinogenic to humans.” This re-authorization was made without regard to an international group of physicians who believe glyphosate, the main ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup, should be banned. […]

In a glorious display of our First Amendment rights, freedom of speech and freedom to assemble peacefully, environmental activists brought the EPA headquarters a lovely gift for their hard work — 2.6 million dead bees. In June, beekeepers, farmers, food advocates and many others joined together and presented EPA officials with four million signatures demanding […]
