Unmasking Bayer and Monsanto's Cruel and Destructive Legacy and How Toxic Sludge is Destroying Our Farmlands
Story at a Glance:
•For over a century, Monsanto has produced incredibly toxic (but “safe”) products that have injured millions and rendered many areas uninhabitable. However, due to cruel and aggressive legal strategies, they have long been shielded from culpability. Recently, this changed due to RFK Jr. successfully suing them for cancers caused by their flagship product, Roundup (glyphosate).
•In 2018, Bayer (one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies) acquired Monsanto. This backfired, as due to the billions in Roundup judgments (likely to far exceed 16 billion), Bayer rapidly lost two-thirds of its value.
•To save the company Bayer (which, like Monsanto, has a long history of unscrupulous conduct) is conducting a variety of measures to end those lawsuits within the Courts, States, Congress, and EPA. Many of these involve creating liability shields which make it impossible to ever sue a pesticide manufacturer for being seriously injured by their product, even if the manufacturer deliberately concealed this known toxicity.
•These actions eerily parallel the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, a “well-intended” act which rather than lead to safer vaccines, unleashed the modern era of chronic disease upon America.
•Presently
a bill is working its way through Congress containing a covert
provision designed to shield Bayer (and many other manufacturers) from
these lawsuits.
•Due to how repugnant this position
is (along with a related one to ensure toxic sludge can be dumped on our
farmland and render it permanently unusable), it can only pass if the
public is unaware of it. As such, I believe it is vital to expose
exactly what is going on and the dark history behind all of it.
For
all of its flaws, the United States has one of the best governments
that has ever been developed. This is because the system is rife with
checks and balances, where one part of the country or government can
constrain another part from acting out of line, and the public has a
voice that can frequently be mobilized if things become too egregious
and bring everything back to balance.
This framework
naturally leads to bad actors taking a multi-pronged approach where they
attempt to co-opt every single thing that constrains their misdeeds.
While challenging, this can eventually be done with concerted effort.
For example, during COVID-19, virtually every institution that should
have prevented the unconstitutional lockdowns, the top-down suppression
of unpatented COVID-19 treatments, and the COVID-19 vaccine mandates
(let alone their approvals) failed as every institution worked in
concert to advance the COVID cartel—resulting in arguably the worst
“public health” crime in history.
Yet, even here,
due to the independent media, liberty-minded politicians, and the
egregiousness of the COVID policies, a check was eventually able to
neutralize the COVID cartel. Furthermore, beyond the COVID vaccine
program failing to accomplish its primary goal (an annual mandated
vaccine and mainstreaming mRNA technology) the trust they’ve long used
to market medical products has been shattered and longterm, COVID is now
arguably costing the medical industry far more than was made from the
pandemic—all of which illustrates our political system has a robust
series of checks once things get too out of line.
