Revealed: Monsanto owner and US officials pressured Mexico to drop glyphosate ban

16 Feb 2021

Internal government emails show actions similar to those by Bayer and lobbyists to kill a proposed ban in Thailand in 2019

Internal government emails reveal Monsanto owner Bayer AG and industry lobbyist CropLife America have been working closely with US officials to pressure Mexico into abandoning its intended ban on glyphosate, a pesticide linked to cancer that is the key ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup weedkillers.

The moves to protect glyphosate shipments to Mexico have played out over the last 18 months, a period in which Bayer was negotiating an $11bn settlement of legal claims brought by people in the US who say they developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma due to exposure to the company’s glyphosate-based products.

The pressure on Mexico is similar to actions Bayer and chemical industry lobbyists took to kill a glyphosate ban planned by Thailand in 2019. Thailand officials had also cited concerns for public health in seeking to ban the weedkiller, but reversed course after US threats about trade disruption...

Monsanto to pay record $95 million to end Ferguson’s lawsuit over PCBS (Washington State)

June 25, 2020

Attorney General Bob Ferguson announced today that Monsanto will pay $95 million to resolve Ferguson’s lawsuit over the company’s manufacturing, marketing and distribution of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). This is Washington’s largest independent state environmental recovery against a single entity.

In 2016 Washington was the first state to file a lawsuit against Monsanto over its PCBs, asserting that the company produced PCBs for decades while hiding what they knew about the toxic chemicals’ harm to human health and the environment. Monsanto was the only U.S. company to produce PCBs from 1935 until it was banned in 1977.

Bayer Monsanto Roundup Cancer Victims Oppose Settlement

Monsanto to Plead Guilty to 30 Environmental Crimes, Pay $12 Million Fine

12/13/21

“Monsanto is a serial violator of federal environmental laws,” said U.S. attorney Tracy L. Wilkison. “The company repeatedly violated laws related to highly regulated chemicals, exposing people to pesticides that can cause serious health problems.”

In court documents filed last week in Hawaii, Monsanto Company agreed to plead guilty to 30 environmental crimes related to the use of a pesticide on cornfields in Hawaii, and the company further agreed to plead guilty to two other charges related to the storage of a banned pesticide that were the subject of a 2019 Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA).

Monsanto admitted in a plea agreement filed last week that it committed 30 misdemeanor crimes related to the use of a glufosinate ammonium-based product sold under the brand name Forfeit 280. After using the product in 2020 on corn fields on Oahu, Monsanto allowed workers to enter the fields during a six-day “restricted-entry interval” (REI) after the product was applied.

The plea agreement calls for Monsanto to serve three years of probation, pay a total of $12 million and continue for another three years a comprehensive environmental compliance program that includes third-party auditors.

As a result of the conduct in which Monsanto allowed workers on 30 occasions to enter fields sprayed with Forfeit 280 during the REI, the company violated a 2019 Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) related to the storage of a banned pesticide.

According to the documents filed last week, Monsanto will plead guilty to two felony charges filed in 2019 that the government would have dismissed if the company had complied with federal law.

Agent Orange Use Outside Of Vietnam

Agent Blue

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agent_Blue

Agent Blue is one of the "rainbow herbicides" that is known for its use by the United States during the Vietnam War. It contained a mixture of dimethylarsinic acid (also known as cacodylic acid) and its related salt, sodium cacodylate, and water. Largely inspired by the British use of herbicides and defoliants during the Malayan Emergency, killing rice was a military strategy from the very start of US military involvement in Vietnam. At first, US soldiers attempted to blow up rice paddies and rice stocks, using mortars and hand grenades. But grains of rice were far more durable than they understood, and were not easily destroyed. Every grain that survived was a seed to be collected and planted again.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agent_Orange

Agent Orange is a chemical herbicide and defoliant, one of the "tactical use" Rainbow Herbicides. It was used by the U.S. military as part of its herbicidal warfare program, Operation Ranch Hand,^[1] during the Vietnam War from 1961 to 1971.^[2] It is a mixture of equal parts of two herbicides, 2,4,5-T and 2,4-D. In addition to its damaging environmental effects, traces of dioxin (mainly TCDD, the most toxic of its type)^[3] found in the mixture have caused major health problems for many individuals who were exposed, and their offspring.

Agent Orange was produced in the United States from the late 1940s and was used in industrial agriculture, and was also sprayed along railroads and power lines to control undergrowth in forests. During the Vietnam War, the U.S. military procured over 20 million gallons, consisting of a fifty-fifty mixture of 2,4-D and dioxin-contaminated 2,4,5-T. Nine chemical companies produced it: Dow Chemical Company, Monsanto Company, Diamond Shamrock Corporation, Hercules Inc., Thompson Hayward Chemical Co., United States Rubber Company (Uniroyal), Thompson Chemical Co., Hoffman-Taff Chemicals, Inc., and Agriselect.^[4]

The government of Vietnam says that up to four million people in Vietnam were exposed to the defoliant, and as many as three million people have suffered illness because of Agent Orange,^[5] while the Vietnamese Red Cross estimates that up to one million people were disabled or have health problems as a result of exposure to Agent Orange.^[6] The United States government has described these figures as unreliable,^[7] while documenting cases of leukemia, Hodgkin's lymphoma, and various kinds of cancer in exposed U.S. military veterans. An epidemiological study done by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that there was an increase in the rate of birth defects of the children of military personnel as a result of Agent Orange.^[8]^[9] Agent Orange has also caused enormous environmental damage in Vietnam. Over 3,100,000 hectares (31,000 km² or 11,969 mi²) of forest were defoliated. Defoliants eroded tree cover and seedling forest stock, making reforestation difficult in numerous areas. Animal species diversity is sharply reduced in contrast with unsprayed areas.^[10]^[11]

The use of Agent Orange in Vietnam resulted in numerous legal actions. The United Nations ratified United Nations General Assembly Resolution 31/72 and the Environmental Modification Convention. Lawsuits filed on behalf of both U.S. and Vietnamese veterans sought compensation for damages.

Agent Orange was first used by the British Armed Forces in Malaya during the Malayan Emergency. It was also used by the U.S. military in Laos and Cambodia during the Vietnam War because forests near the border with Vietnam were used by the Viet Cong.

Glyphosate

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glyphosate

Glyphosate (IUPAC name: N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine) is a broad-spectrum systemic herbicide and crop desiccant. It is an organophosphorus compound, specifically a phosphonate, which acts by inhibiting the plant enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase. It is used to kill weeds, especially annual broadleaf weeds and grasses that compete with crops. Its herbicidal effectiveness was discovered by Monsanto chemist John E. Franz in 1970. Monsanto brought it to market for agricultural use in 1974 under the trade name Roundup. Monsanto's last commercially relevant United States patent expired in 2000.

We need to protect the environment better, from companies and governments that are not doing an adequate job in the preservation of the environment.

What can we do as a civilization, to ensure that corrupt politicians and greedy corporations do not harm our planet, with harmful synthetic chemicals and pesticides that end up being recalled after they are out on the market.

The people need to start holding many politicians responsible, and start prosecuting officials
that are taking bribes to endanger humans, animals and the planet.

While some writers have made the claim that neotame is allowed in organic foods, there does not appear to be any supporting evidence for this. Ditto for the rumor that it doesn’t have to be listed on the label. For example, according to a recent article on Sott.netv:

Weakened by the real estate collapse in the early 1990s, it was acquired

by Chemical Bank in 1996, retaining the Chase name. Before its merger with J.P. Morgan & Co., the new Chase expanded the investment and asset management groups through two acquisitions.

Genetically Modified Tires

2012

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10000872396390444097904577539012713121388.html

High yielding, genetically modified crops have transformed the economics of U.S. farming. But they also pack an unexpected punch: Their tougher stalks are puncturing tires and stranding farm equipment in the field.

Iowa corn and soybean farmer Mark Dimit said tire damage from the prior season's corn and soybean stalks, much tougher in GM crops, repeatedly brought spring planting to a standstill on his 4,000-acre farm near Grinnell two years ago.

On The Edge By Anthony Giddens

2010

http://www.nasw.org/users/mslong/2010/2010_06/Pesticides.htm

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When the research on the practices of Monsanto is thoroughly reviewed, we can clearly see that there is a problem with the Monsanto Company. We should not jeopardize and risk the safety of the planet, in order for some individuals to profit off of the destruction of the environment, while doing hazardous open air experiments on this planet. The Monsanto Company needs to be shut down, and face criminal charges of endangering the planet.

The people of the world have spoken, and the people do not want companies such as Monsanto to continue harming this planet.

It is debated if GMOs in general are harmful or not. That also depends on how you use the term genetically modified organism.

Natural selective breeding of plants may not be harmful, when the genetics are altered through natural cross-breeding. However, when artificially inserted genes are spliced into the genetic makeup of a plant, this can be an environmental hazard if these genetically modified plants start cross-pollinating with other species in the wild.

Knight of Malta John F. Queeny: Founder of Monsanto -

According to the Count in Venice, John Francis Queeny—founder of The Monsanto Company—was a Knight of Malta. Irish-American Roman Catholic Queeny (1859-1933) founded the company in 1901 within the Jesuit stronghold of St. Lewis—hosting the Black Pope’s Saint Louis University since 1818. This is the same year J. P. Morgan, Papal Knight of the Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus, founded U.S. Steel Corporation and in 1911 would appoint Knight of Malta John A.

Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment

http://www.fs.fed.us/foresthealth/pesticide/pdfs/Glyphosate_SERA_TR-052-22-03b.pdf

Doses of technical grade glyphosate that exceed around 300 mg/kg bw may cause signs of toxicity, including decreased body weight gain, changes in certain biochemical parameters in blood as well as tissues, and inhibition of some enzymes (i.e., P450) involved in the metabolism of both endogenous and exogenous compounds. At doses from about 1000 to 5000 mg/kg bw, glyphosate can cause death.

StarLink TM Corn Controversy: Background

2005

http://www.policyarchive.org/handle/10207/3402

StarLink is a corn variety that has been genetically modified to contain an insecticidal protein derived from a naturally occurring bacterium (Bacillus thuringiensis, or Bt). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved the gene-spliced variety of yellow corn in 1998 for use only as animal feed and set a zero-tolerance level for its use in human food based on the fact that this particular Bt protein does not break down easily in the human digestive system, is heat resistant, and could prove allergenic.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Many organisations and people have accused the Monsanto Company of environmental terrorism.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Environmental Terrorism

Environmental terrorism is the unlawful destruction of resources in order to deprive others of its use. The term also refers to the unnecessary destruction of the environment for personal gain.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_terrorism

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

While many organisations accuse Monsanto of environmental terrorism. We should educate others about extremist groups that use violence.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do extremist tactics push environmentalism forwards or backwards?

http://www.ted.com/conversations/11755/do_extremist_tactics_push_envi.html

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The best thing we can do as a civilization, is to legally shutdown corporations such as Monsanto, including holding government officials accountable for their actions. In order to properly stop a corporation such as Monsanto, there must be enough public support from the people. When enough people take the right action, we can accomplish many good things for the planet.

However, even after the March against Monsanto, the same politicians such as Barack Obama, are still allowing Monsanto to continue to jeopardize the safety of the environment.

Biohacking & Genome Compiler

2013

http://techcrunch.com/2013/05/26/cambrian-genome-compiler/

A pair of companies in San Francisco’s SOMA neighborhood and Tel Aviv are positioning themselves as the “Wintel” of the bio-hacking era. One company, called Genome Compiler, builds software for designing synthetic life forms, while the other, Cambrian Genomics, is experimenting with ways to cheaply laser print DNA.
Like the old Microsoft-Intel relationship of the PC era, they believe they have the symbiotic relationship necessary to usher in a new era where anybody can inexpensively create their own life forms. Genome Compiler is backed with $3 million in funding, including $2 million from Autodesk. Cambrian is funded by Founders Fund, Felicis Ventures and Draper Associates.
“We are democratizing creation,” said Genome Compiler co-founder Omri Amirav-Drory. “Cells are nothing more than a computer, running a program and the program is the genetic code. The code is DNA. The software are the chromosomes. The hardware is the wetware.”
Using Drory’s software, a person can load up existing sequences for different life forms like plants and then manipulate them by inserting or taking out various genes. It corrects the code for basic errors like not having three codes for an amino acid or having a stop and a start code in the wrong place.
“Wouldn’t it be nice in the future if someone could just load up a tree’s genetic code, drag another app from a file and make it glow in the dark?” said Amirav-Drory, who was a post-doc at Stanford University after completing a Ph.D. in biochemistry at Tel Aviv University in Israel.
In theory they could eventually build an app store where a Genome Compiler user could buy access to genetic code that might make a plant cells like a banana. One Kickstarter project which I wrote about last month is already using the software to create a glow-in-the-dark plant. The seemingly far-fetched aspiration is to eventually replace street lights with the more renewable solution of glowing trees.

Climate & Geoengineering

http://www.etcgroup.org/issues/climate-geoengineering

Geoengineering is the intentional, large-scale technological manipulation of the Earth’s systems, often discussed as a techno-fix for combating climate change. Climate geoengineering technologies can be divided into three broad areas: so-called solar radiation management (reflecting sunlight to space), greenhouse gas removal and sequestration and weather modification.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We should be cautious of new technologies being used for weather modification, including geoengineering.

Chapter 21: Bio-pharmaceuticals & Transgenic plants

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What if it could be possible to cure many diseases such as cancer, or almost any disease you can think of, through bio-pharmaceuticals from plants, which cannot be chemically produced by hand.

Many scientists could have a legitimate reason to experiment with bio-pharmaceuticals from plants, this is in order to find cures for many diseases.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Medicines From Plants: Producing Active Substances In Transgenic Plants And Plant Suspension Cells

http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/releases/226718.php

"Medicines from plants" - one thinks of herbal teas or valerian drops. However, that has nothing in common with what the researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Molecular Biology and Applied Ecology IME in Aachen, Germany, are doing. They use plants to produce biopharmaceuticals. Those are proteins that, unlike many other medications, cannot be chemically produced.

Biologically produced medications, such as recombinant insulin or therapeutic antibodies to fight cancer, have become indispensable. Plants are particularly suitable for producing complex active substances. The reason is that these substances can be produced inexpensively and on a large scale in plants. Compared to producing them in animal cells, plants have the advantage that they grow quickly, are easy to look after and can be protected well against damaging influences.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Plant hormone - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_hormone

Potential medical applications

Plant stress hormones activate cellular responses, including cell death, to diverse stress situations in plants. Researchers have found that some plant stress hormones share the ability to adversely affect human cancer cells. For example, sodium salicylate has been found to suppress proliferation of lymphoblastic leukemia, prostate, breast, and melanoma human cancer cells. Jasmonic acid, a plant stress hormone that belongs to the jasmonate family, induced death in lymphoblastic leukemia cells. Methyl jasmonate has been found to induce cell death in a number of cancer cell lines.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Commonly occurring plant flavonoids have estrogenic activity.

1993

A remarkable diversity of naturally occurring and synthetic compounds have been shown to mimic the biological effects of 17 beta-estradiol by virtue of their ability to bind to and activate the nuclear estrogen receptor. This report extends the family of nonsteroidal estrogens to include several multiply hydroxylated chalcones, flavanones, and flavones. The hormone-like activity of these natural plant products is indicated by their ability to stimulate an estrogen receptor-dependent transcriptional response and to promote growth of estrogen-dependent MCF7 cells in culture. The transcriptional response can be inhibited by the steroidal estrogen antagonist ICI-164,384 and is specific for the estrogen receptor.

The wide distribution of weakly estrogenic flavonoid pigments in food crops and medicinal plants raises additional questions about the possible health risks and benefits of these compounds, meriting closer examination of their presence in the human diet.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There's many examples of how it could be possible to use bio-engineering technology, such as stem cells, to create new organs for people. However, some people still question if certain types of bio-engineering, or bad types of genetic modification of certain organisms done in experiments, could still be a hazard to the environment. Currently, we can see many of the problems with bad genetic modification of organisms, especially from companies such as Monsanto.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Many people think that we should not experiment with genetically modified organisms. Many people also believe that humans should not change the genetic makeup of what nature intended in plants and animals. Some think that we should not genetically modify plants with the artificial splicing of genes, and that this could harm the environment over a period of time, with bad genetic engineering experiments. Such as the cross-pollination of an untested genetically modified organism, or a transgenic plant that could be hazardous to the ecosystem, or even carcinogenic to organisms that eat it.

The problem with bad genetic modifications of a plant is when you add ingredients such as an insecticide into the genetic makeup of a plant, so that it kills targeted insects that bite the plant. If these plants with insecticide start to cross-pollinate into the wild, this could cause an imbalance in the ecosystem if insects eat these hazardous plants.

As a civilization, we need to take steps to ensure that bad genetically modified organisms do not escape into the wild and breed with other species. However, this has already happened on many occasions. We can also see the problems with many of the current synthetic chemicals out on the market these days. This makes people question if certain types of synthetic chemicals are even sustainable.

When we talk about the possibilities of good and bad things that can happen with genetic modification, biotechnology, synthetic biology and geoengineering, the possibilities are basically limitless. One person could spend a lifetime with a disciplinary study of a field of knowledge, and still not scientifically understand many of the implications and variables that are associated with these subjects.

We should be aware of the harm that can be caused to the environment, with the releasing of synthetic organisms into the environment.

Some people have called for a moratorium on genetic engineering. However, would this stop many governments, companies and individuals from doing unauthorized and illegal tests? Could a moratorium on genetic engineering stop many good inventions that could help the planet?

We should not release certain chemicals into the wild that could possibly cause harm to the environment, over an extended period of time. We should not we be allowing companies to mass-produce many chemicals that are often recalled. If we do not know the results that certain chemicals will have on the environment hundreds of years from now, then we must to be careful of what we release into the environment as a civilization. This is why chemicals such as DDT, PCBs, including certain types of antifreeze, should have never been legalized for commercial production.

It is often debated if it would be better for this planet, if we stopped the production of genetically modified organisms. As a civilization, we need to be certain that genetically modified organisms would not cause harm to the environment, including living organisms. Many people are currently concerned if rogue scientists would still try to conduct experiments with genetically modified organisms, if there were a moratorium on the production of genetically modified organisms.

Many have said we need to ban the use of genetically modified organisms in the use of food for humans and animals. Currently, we can see enough problems with genetically modified organisms in food, to where we should call for a ban on the use of GMOs in food. This would also be debated if we should ban genetically modified organisms, including genetically modified organisms in medicines and in agriculture or soil production. Many say we should have genetically modified food and medicine for life extension technology. and for medical reasons. Some people claim that if we used synthetic biology properly, that it could even save the world. An example would be the use to synthetic chemicals that could biodegrade properly, that could be used for soil in farming, to producing products such as plastics and clothing materials. However, we can see the problems with many of the synthetic chemicals out on the market currently. Many synthetic chemicals do not biodegrade properly. Many of these synthetic chemicals are often banned and recalled. This leaves many to question if we should ban more synthetic chemicals out on the market. It could be possible to make petrochemicals from plant materials such as from sugar cane. Some synthesized chemicals can also biodegrade properly in the wild if manufactured correctly. We could synthesize certain biodegradable and non-toxic types of petrochemicals from plant material. We could turn this plant material into biodegradable items such as biodegradable plastics. This would be a good example of how it is possible to synthesize petrochemicals that could biodegrade properly.

Defend Against DNA Destruction

October, 2012

Xanthophylls are concentrated in yellow, orange, and deep green leafy vegetables.13,14 Epidemiological studies show that people who consume large amounts of fruit and vegetables have lower rates of cancer and other DNA damage-related diseases.15,16 But studies that take a closer look show that supplying up to 8 servings of carotenoid-containing fruits and vegetables per day don't demonstrate a reduction in DNA damage or improvement in repair mechanisms.17 Eating 12 servings per day did produce some benefit particularly with regards to reduction of damaging inflammatory molecules, but most people can't sustain that level of vegetable consumption.18 True DNA protection seems to require supplementation to achieve higher levels of these valuable nutrients in your blood.

https://www.lifeextension.com/magazine/2012/10/defend-against-dna-destruction

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Many medicines are currently synthesized. We must question the amount of ground and water pollution that continued to be caused from many pharmaceutical companies. This would include the use of pollution from bio-pharmaceuticals. We need to have advanced medical technology, where we can cure many of the medical problems on the planet, without having to use certain types of medicine that has to be recalled, or are in question of causing many dangerous side-effects and pollution. It takes many years of research to figure out how different chemicals react with living organisms, including the environment. However, sometimes in the medical field, many chemicals that have a toxic effect can sometimes be used to cure many diseases. Even plants such as poison oak, abrin ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abrin ) and many other natural toxic chemicals found in nature, could have a potential of being able to cure many diseases and illnesses, including types of cancer.

It is often debated if certain chemicals being genetically modified, or synthesized in bio-pharmaceuticals, should be restricted for the use in testing for medicine. Many people claim that we can even save the planet, by being able to synthesize natural chemicals that could biodegrade properly when formed. However, with many of the current synthetic chemicals that we see damaging the environment, it makes many people question if we would be better off using many traditional methods of different herbal and organic medical practices that many cultures have been using for thousands of years.

When implementing new technologies in the medical field, we should be certain of the full side-effects of medicine. Often, we see too many times when medicine has to be recalled, because of a dangerous side-effect.

World’s highest drug levels entering India stream

2009

PATANCHERU, India (AP) When researchers analyzed vials of treated wastewater taken from a plant where about 90 Indian drug factories dump their residues, they were shocked. Enough of a single, powerful antibiotic was being spewed into one stream each day to treat every person in a city of 90,000.
And it wasn’t just ciprofloxacin being detected. The supposedly cleaned water was a floating medicine cabinet a soup of 21 different active pharmaceutical ingredients, used in generics for treatment of hypertension, heart disease, chronic liver ailments, depression, gonorrhea, ulcers and other ailments. Half of the drugs measured at the highest levels of pharmaceuticals ever detected in the environment, researchers say.
Those Indian factories produce drugs for much of the world, including many Americans. The result: Some of India’s poor are unwittingly consuming an array of chemicals that may be harmful, and could lead to the proliferation of drug-resistant bacteria.

What if it were possible to make a human body live for thousands of years through genetic engineering and biotechnology? While we could even have people living on other planets for thousands of years creating new life.

What if one of the reasons of our existence is to be able to find other planets to geoengineer forests, jungles, rivers, and lakes, while creating life and ecosystems on other planets.

For the billions of years that nature has been creating organic material, we now live in an age where we now see an acceleration of synthetic pollution. We must question what are the implications when a company such as Monsanto, which was founded in 1901, tries to change the genetic structure of plants, which humans and animals are eating. Many of the studies and tests that we have seen, have shown that there is a problem with these genetically modified plants, including the harm that it is doing to the wild insect population and mammals.

It seems that a responsible government would have already shut down a company such as Monsanto by now. Instead politicians such as Barack Obama sign the Monsanto Protection Act.

We need to hold companies such as Pfizer, Bayer and Monsanto legally responsible for their actions.

We need to arrest Obama and overturn the Monsanto Protection Act.

Together the people can stop greedy corporations such as Monsanto. The people of the planet can thrive on helping the planet instead of harming the planet.
