Do not consent to POISONING !!

Vee “V” Cee's avatar

Well laid out arguments on the current status of the agricultural industry. Most aren't aware that farmers have to buy their seeds every year as these hybrid seeds are patented. At one time farmers would collect the seeds they needed to plant, this practice has been abandoned as well asfarms being owned by corporations and no longer faimly run. Young 4-H's find it next to impossible to own their own farm. I pray MAHA will help these young people restore tge family farm and break these corporations stranglehold on US farms.

Again thank you for this article

It's an easy answer

These people LOVE MONEY

I can't believe how bitterly disappointed I am in RFKJr's defense of this EO. I certainly get it that his hands are tied to a certain extent in this administration. However, Kennedy and everyone else who claims MAHA in this administration have had a full year to develop an exit strategy from glyphosate dependency for our farmers. This exit strategy should include subsidies to small and large farms willing to immediately begin changing their farming practices. Instead of such an exit strategy being presented, the manufacturers of this poison were granted immunity in the EO.

this excuse piece for Trump's most recent executive order to protect glyphosate and ensuring continued profits for Bayer assumes that without government protections glyphosate will immediately disappear and our food supply will suffer. that's not the case and anyone who isn't trying to find an excuse for Trump right now realizes that. making these excuses for this most recent executive order is only going to prolong the use of glyphosate and allow it to become more entrenched than it already is in our food supply.

this most recent executive order is continuation, not a change or shift, in the Trump administration's view on health. the self-proclaimed father of the vaccine announced project stargate, a new mRNA vaccine platform, on day two of his second term. he has made it clear but people have not wanted to listen to what he says or does, they only like hate the headlines. Kennedy is simply a distraction. I wonder what they have on RFK that they have used to get him to play this role?

We eat poison; not nutrients

Trump is a globalist through and through! Everyone, you have to understand that anyone in office now has been selected and not elected! We are in a dangerous predicament, the only way to survive the globalist regime is to not comply, to question, to push back! We are moving head first into technocracy. We are being governed by a cabal who wants all those who survive to be energy vectors to allow them to feed off of our vibrations! When you hear that they are sacrificing babies and young children for adrenaline (which is a very powerful drug!) if we don’t fight back against this plan we are doomed to be slaves, we must all be willing to sacrifice all! We can not live a free life within this system! Wake up, be willing to sacrifice all for freedom!

There are tillage implements that use propane or LNG to burn the weeds prior to planting. And the cost to run , reported anyway, is less than the cost of the same amount of herbicide to do the same job. Not sure why tools like this haven't taken off- oh yeah because Big Ag rules the roost.

This was disappointing to hear... may God protect us all 🙏🏼

I worked on dry land wheat farms in SE WA state and NE OR state for years when I was younger. The farmers spray the crop with Roundup (glyphosate) right before harvest to fully kill the plant so it dries up and threshes easily in the combine. How much of that Roundup is absorbed into the wheat kernel? Does it make you want to quit eating bread?

Did you know?'s avatar

Nothing ever dries there does it? I was near Portland once for 9 days. After 4 days I wanted to call my boss & beg to go home. I didn't but it rained every day except one. Im never going there esp now that its a political nightmare.

Huh? NE OR is hundreds of miles from Portland. The climate is arid.

ok thx. I also had business travel to Clackamas & Vancouver ( I know, its Canada). I didn't realize its that different in these parts of the NW of this country.

Flour testing I've read about shows result finding glyphosate in the PBB, parts per billion. It doesnt get near acceptable limits until PPM parts per million. Maybe it shouldn't be any but this is where we are.

I read a comment on X that the reason for his new stance is to garner greater corporate funding to help the GOP win the mid-terms.

If we stop buying the conventional, glyphosate-ridden foods, just watch how FAST "farmers" will adapt! Meantime, we can take some of the money we're sending into the Middle East to destroy life and give it to the farmers to ease the transition. The wake-up needs to happen faster, and it is indeed accelerating.

I'm not aware of Trump's reasoning for issuing his EO for Glyphosate. Perhaps he feels that the poison (and it is a poison) is comparable to his "beautiful" COVID-19 bioweapons. The fact that the EO gives the manufacturers freedom from liability makes me wonder what is being hidden from the public.

Its been an interesting couple of hours, thx for sending the article. I read it then reviewed from bottom to top. My observations.

I read 2020 product label & MSDS sheet & got conflicting info. CA not a cancer caused on one, yes on the other.

Not one mention in my three sources of possible or probable misuse, away from label instructions. I can almost guarantee it for home use.

Besides the 2015 possible carcinogen words used it seems like something addition had to happen for the graph showing that sharp increase.

The amount of variable created by studies themselves seems ridiculous. Nothing I saw as repeatable or reproducibility.

Great example of how statistics can show results desired, worse when every experiment, study was different.

The fraud found that time reminded me if the Merck Vioxx debacle. All Merck had to do was assure everyone knew that it should not be given for certain conditions & they would've had a winner.

I agree that glyphosate and maybe even most chemicals have biologically concerning effects, its mostly in determining effects on what and severity at dosages. Every prescription is get says the Dr has determined the risk vs the need...

"Regulators look for Lack of Credible Evidence of Harm @ realistic exposures". You can't prove something by whats not there. People cannot prove innocence by what they didn't do.

Each study group tends to find what they represent, finding bias or what?

I come away w cancer being the least worry. Higher concerns endocrine, neurotoxicity, liver/kidney/ reproductive/developmental, microbiology. I dont think developmental was singularly mentioned tho'.

I've always had a problem w full strength being used experimentally & any decisions made based on that. Find a benchmark high/low maybe.

Lastly, I have lost so much trust in this medical community that I am an unbeliever, covid manipulators made me this way.

Bottom line I believe glyphosate is safe to use if the label is followed, do not use if its windy, common sense. PPE use must be done properly & more than label says. I would use disposable shoe covers, types suit, impermeable gloves, high quality impermeable gloves, tight fitting goggles, head covered completely. I would rinse every thing w a water hose before taking it all off, dispose. If nothing else we can over protect.

Thanks for my rethink.
