More about Monsanto and their chief “hookers”

image

Everyday I get more emails than Bayer has aspirins with lots coming from my anti-GMO friends. One item send to really got my attention and solidified the fact as to how much the mainstream media is a butt-licking “hooker” for Monsanto and will bend over forward for them at the drop of a hat.
Nowhere did I ever see what I’m about to disclose on television or in a newspaper. It came to me via email from an anti-GMO friend with the source being Natural Society.

The article, from the beginning of 2012, revealed that Monsanto tentatively agreed to a $93 million settlement with some of the residents of Nitro, West Virginia.

First, I never heard of Nitro and second, how they got their name was a mind-blower. During WW1, the town manufactured explosives. Hello Nitro.

But wait, there’s more. Nitro was also the site of a Monsanto chemical plant that manufactured half of the Agent Orange recipe.

That part of the herbicide recipe, 2,4,5-T, was contaminated with dioxin and the 2,4,5-T was phased out in the late ‘70s.

Dioxin is so bad and so dangerous and has a 100-year half-life when it enters the soil or water (but don’t worry, Monsanto says everything they make is safe).

Because of exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam, the VA continues to pay on claims to those exposed that welcomed cancer, their kid’s birth defects, leukemia, liver disease, heart disease, Parkinson’s, diabetes and chloracne, which is a skin disease that manifests only after being exposed to heinous chemicals into their lives.

In 1949, there was an explosion in the Nitro plant and Monsanto never paid a cent to the dioxin exposed employees and citizens.

For the past 7 years (2004-2011), residents of Nitro have been involved in a class action suit against Monsanto. Rather than go to trial Monsanto has tentatively agreed to a $93 million settlement broken down as follows:

$21 million for medical testing, $63 million for additional screening, and $9 million for the cleaning up of 4,500 homes.

It has also been reported that the settlement might reduce Monsanto’s net income by 5 cents a share, but additional lawsuits and fines may be forthcoming and that there are potentially 80,000 property damage claims alone that could cost Monsanto $3.9 BILLION in cleanup costs.

When the case was ongoing the judge ordered a gag order, which equates to “shut-up or die”, and left questions as to whether the following evidence was even allowed to be introduced;

1. Monsanto is alleged to have burned dioxin waste in open pits, which spewed dioxin and its ash into the air, polluting everything.

2. The EPA recommended that Monsanto be criminally investigated for fraud in covering-up the dioxin contamination, failing to report the contamination, substituting false information to show no contamination and sending in “doctored” samples of their products devoid of dioxin to government regulators.

3. The EPA also said that Monsanto should be criminally investigated for their fraud in falsifying the health studies on dioxin where they “proved” dioxin did not cause cancer and other negative health effects except for a possible skin rash. Those alleged bona fide studies were used to deny benefits to our Viet Nam veterans.

4. One of Monsanto’s spin-off companies, Solutia, that was a previous owner of the Nitro plant, was found by the EPA to have buried lots of dioxin-containing drums in a river near Nitro.

That wonderfully safe Nitro plant produced their totally safe shit from 1949 to 1971. As if it couldn’t get worse, Monsanto and Dow Chemical had government immunity as government contractors, due to unbelievable ruling by a judge – Jack Weinstein. Because of the ongoing corporate/government collusion the Supreme Court refused to hear a case that would allow veterans to sue the corporations responsible for their ailments.

There are several reasons, besides it being the humane thing to do, why the corporations should be denied immunity

1. They engaged in defective manufacturing of 2,4,5-T by cooking it at a high temperature when they knew that slow cooking would eliminate the dioxin.

2. The dioxin 2,4,5-T was not a new chemical, but had been produced since the ‘40s and was not created specifically for government purposes.

3. The U.S. government had no knowledge of the dioxin contamination or its ramifications in 2,4,5-T, whereby Monsanto and Dow did.

Proving property damage from dioxin is easier to prove than dioxin-related medical injuries because cancer, for example can take decades to manifest in the body making it extremely difficult to prove dioxin was the cause.

Despite this, the judges in the West Virginia case blocked testimony from a civil engineer and deemed it inadmissible by using the excuse that the cost for the cleanup was too speculative because it ranged from $945, 000 to $3.9 BILLION.

Rather than bending over forward for the corporations the judges should have allowed a jury to determine the facts. Then to add insult to injury, the judges ruled that each plaintiff must sue the corporation individually rather then as a group in a class action suit.

Realizing that individual lawsuits with one attorney could run above $200,000 each, it kind of says f**k you to the individuals. Yet Monsanto offered $9 million to clean some houses giving credibility to property damage complaints.

Besides, an environmental attorney advised those affected that they could sue for negligence, nuisance, trespass and battery and if punitive damages were awarded, 900% over the cost of the damage could be assessed against Monsanto. Monsanto settled the case for $93 million without any finding of wrongdoing and giving them the out of accountability and punitive damage charges.

So, the $93 million Monsanto agreed to is like giving your kid a $5 allowance. But it sets a precedent for settling claims. Hopefully an attorney will immerge and grab hold of the opportunity to hold Monsanto accountable. Don’t hold your breath.

So, I have some questions:

Why, if this case was settled in 2012, was it never talked about on TV or in the newspapers?

Why do we only get to know about it via the internet?

Why, if Agent Orange is harmful if it is sprayed on you, is it safe to eat when sprayed on the cornfields just because Monsanto says so?

Why, if the Seralini study from France, which covered 3 years and proved the growth of cancer tumors and denounced, was the same study done by Monsanto and covering 3 months with no growth of cancer tumors readily accepted?

Why did Richard Goodman, a former Monsanto executive, hired by the Food and Toxicology Journal to the position of “Article Submission Acceptor” reject the Seralini report first and foremost and have that overturned by over 400 independent scientists worldwide?

Why do Federal, State and City/County politicians vehemently reject GMO labeling bills?

Why did the major food corporations that use GMO ingredients that they proclaim are safe, cough up millions of dollars to defeat State GMO labeling bills?

Why does the Monsanto cafeteria in Hawaii serve organics and not GMOs?

Why, why, why, why, why?

Simple: In God we trust. All others pay cash.

Shades of pimps, hookers and tricks!

About Hesh:

I have been doing a radio show in Honolulu since 1981 called “Health Talk”. To listen to the show please go to www.kwai1080am.com on your computer at 8am Hawaii time. FYI, 8am Hawaii time is 11am on the West coast and 2pm on the East coast. To call in, the number is (808) 524-1080.
Starting August 2nd, American Voice Radio will be picking up my streamed show and playing it all week until the next one takes place. See you on the radio!

In 2007, I was “forced” to get a masters degree in Nutrition to stop all the doctors from calling in asking what my credentials were. Besides that, they never liked it when I asked them what their credentials were that would enable them to treat an illness without drugs or surgery.

If you go to www.healthtalkhawaii.com and click on Podcasts, there are years of shows there as well as hundreds of health related articles.

I am an activist. I am vehemently opposed to GMOs, vaccines, processed foods, MSG, aspartame, fluoridation, and everything else that the “pimps” (big pHarma, Monsanto, and the large food companies), and the “hookers” (the doctors, the government agencies, the Public Health officials, and the mainstream media) thrust upon us, the “tricks”.

At 75, I am in 3 softball leagues, racewalk, do stand-up paddling, hike, swim, do weights and cardio, and teach women’s self-defense classes based upon 20 years of Wing Chun training. I have been a vegetarian since 1975 and a vegan since 1990, have no illnesses and take no meds.

After being vaccinated with the DTP vaccine as a child, I developed asthma, which plagued me until 2008 when I learned about and started taking the organic sulfur crystals. My asthma was reversed in 3 days and has not come back.

So far, 22 cases of autism that we know about have been reversed, as has cancer, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, asthma, osteoarthritis, joint pain, gingivitis, and erectile dysfunction. The sulfur has increased sexual activity, eliminated toxins, heavy metals, radiation, and parasites. It speeds up athletic recovery time, increases blood circulation, reduces inflammation, increases resistance to the “flu”, reduces wrinkles, allergies, PMS, monthly period pain, migraines, nausea, and way more, because the oxygen that the sulfur releases floods and heals the cells in the body.

The sulfur, as proven by the University of Southampton in England, enables the body to produce vitamin B12 and the essential amino acids.
You can find out more about this on my website under Products.

My book, “A Sane Diet For An Insane World”, which has been published, can be viewed and purchased at www.asanediet.com. The book clearly explains why what you eat, for the most part, is designed to keep you in a state of declining health.

I have recently discovered an amazing super food – Zeal – that contains 42 amazing probiotics, anti-oxidents and more, all designed to build and strengthen the immune system. For more info about this please email me.

When I was a kid, if I were told that I'd be writing a book about diet and nutrition when I was older, let alone having been doing a health related radio show for over 36 years, I would've thought that whoever told me that was out of their mind. Living in Newark, New Jersey, my parents and I consumed anything and everything that had a face or a mother except for dead, rotting, pig bodies, although we did eat bacon (as if all the other decomposing flesh bodies were somehow miraculously clean). Going through high school and college it was no different. In fact, my dietary change did not come until I was in my 30's.

Just to put things in perspective, after I graduated from Weequahic High School and before going to Seton Hall University, I had a part-time job working for a butcher. I was the delivery guy and occasionally had to go to the slaughterhouse to pick up products for the store. Needless to say, I had no consciousness nor awareness, as change never came then despite the horrors I witnessed on an almost daily basis.

After graduating with a degree in accounting from Seton Hall, I eventually got married and moved to a town called Livingston. Livingston was basically a yuppie community where everyone was judged by the neighborhood they lived in and their income. To say it was a "plastic" community would be an understatement.

Livingston and the shallowness finally got to me. I told my wife I was fed up and wanted to move. She made it clear she had to be near her friends and New York City. I finally got my act together and split for Colorado.

I was living with a lady in Aspen at the end of 1974, when one day she said, " let's become vegetarians". I have no idea what possessed me to say it, but I said, "okay"! At that point I went to the freezer and took out about $100 worth of frozen, dead body parts and gave them to a welfare mother who lived behind us. Well, everything was great for about a week or so, and then the chick split with another guy.

So here I was, a vegetarian for a couple weeks, not really knowing what to do, how to cook, or basically how to prepare anything. For about a month, I was getting by on carrot sticks, celery sticks, and yogurt. Fortunately, when I went vegan in 1990, it was a simple and natural progression. Anyway, as I walked around Aspen town, I noticed a little vegetarian restaurant called, "The Little Kitchen".

Let me back up just a little bit. It was April of 1975, the snow was melting and the runoff of Ajax Mountain filled the streets full of knee-deep mud. Now, Aspen was great to ski in, but was a bummer to walk in when the snow was melting.

I was ready to call it quits and I needed a warmer place. I'll elaborate on that in a minute.

But right now, back to "The Little Kitchen". Knowing that I was going to leave Aspen and basically a new vegetarian, I needed help. So, I cruised into the restaurant and told them my plight and asked them if they would teach me how to cook. I told them in return I would wash dishes and empty their trash. They then asked me what I did for a living and I told them I was an accountant.

The owner said to me, "Let's make a deal. You do our tax return and we'll feed you as well". So for the next couple of weeks I was doing their tax return, washing their dishes, emptying the trash, and learning as much as I could.

But, like I said, the mud was getting to me. So I picked up a travel book written by a guy named Foder. The name of the book was, "Hawaii". Looking through the book I noticed that in Lahaina, on Maui, there was a little vegetarian restaurant called," Mr. Natural's". I decided right then and there that I would go to Lahaina and work at "Mr. Natural's." To make a long story short, that's exactly what happened.

So, I'm working at "Mr. Natural's" and learning everything I can about my new dietary lifestyle - it was great. Every afternoon we would close for lunch at about 1 PM and go to the Sheraton Hotel in Ka'anapali and play volleyball, while somebody stayed behind to prepare dinner.

Since I was the new guy, and didn't really know how to cook, I never thought that I would be asked to stay behind to cook dinner. Well, one afternoon, that's exactly what happened; it was my turn. That posed a problem for me because I was at the point where I finally knew how to boil water.

I was desperate, clueless and basically up the creek without a paddle. Fortunately, there was a friend of mine sitting in the gazebo at the restaurant and I asked him if he knew how to cook. He said the only thing he knew how to cook was enchiladas. He said that his enchiladas were bean-less and dairy-less. I told him that I had no idea what an enchilada was or what he was talking about, but I needed him to show me because it was my turn to do the evening meal.

Well, the guys came back from playing volleyball and I'm asked what was for dinner. I told them enchiladas; the owner wasn't thrilled. I told him that mine were bean-less and dairy-less. When he tried the enchilada he said it was incredible. Being the humble guy that I was, I smiled and said, "You expected anything less"? It apparently was so good that it was the only item on the menu that we served twice a week. In fact, after about a week, we were selling five dozen every night we had them on the menu and people would walk around Lahaina broadcasting, 'enchilada's at "Natural's" tonight'. I never had to cook anything else.

A year later the restaurant closed, and somehow I gravitated to a little health food store in Wailuku. I never told anyone I was an accountant and basically relegated myself to being the truck driver. The guys who were running the health food store had friends in similar businesses and farms on many of the islands. I told them that if they could organize and form one company they could probably lock in the State. That's when they found out I was an accountant and "Down to Earth" was born. "Down to Earth" became the largest natural food store chain in the islands, and I was their Chief Financial Officer and co-manager of their biggest store for 13 years.

In 1981, I started to do a weekly radio show to try and expose people to a vegetarian diet and get them away from killing innocent creatures. I still do that show today. I pay for my own airtime and have no sponsors to not compromise my honesty. One bit of a hassle was the fact that I was forced to get a Masters Degree in Nutrition to shut up all the MD's that would call in asking for my credentials.

My doing this radio show enabled me, through endless research, to see the corruption that existed within the big food industries, the big pharmaceutical companies, the biotech industries and the government agencies. This information, unconscionable as it is, enabled me to realize how broken our health system is. This will be covered more in depth in the Introduction and throughout the book and when you finish the book you will see this clearly and it will hopefully inspire you to make changes.

I left Down to Earth in 1989, got nationally certified as a sports injury massage therapist and started traveling the world with a bunch of guys that were making a martial arts movie. After doing that for about four years I finally made it back to Honolulu and got a job as a massage therapist at the Honolulu Club, one of Hawaii's premier fitness clubs. It was there I met the love of my life who I have been with since 1998. She made me an offer I couldn't refuse. She said," If you want to be with me you've got to stop working on naked women". So, I went back into accounting and was the Chief Financial Officer of a large construction company for many years.

Going back to my Newark days when I was an infant, I had no idea what a "chicken" or "egg" or "fish" or "pig" or "cow" was. My dietary blueprint was thrust upon me by my parents as theirs was thrust upon them by their parents. It was by the grace of God that I was able to put things in their proper perspective and improve my health and elevate my consciousness.

The road that I started walking down in 1975 has finally led me to the point of writing my book, “A Sane Diet For An Insane World”. Hopefully, the information contained herein will be enlightening, motivating, and inspiring to encourage you to make different choices. Doing what we do out of conditioning is not always the best course to follow. I am hoping that by the grace of the many friends and personalities I have encountered along my path, you will have a better perspective of what road is the best road for you to travel on, not only for your health but your consciousness as well.

Last but not least: after being vaccinated as a kid I developed asthma, which plagued me all of my life. In 2007 I got exposed to the organic sulfur crystals, which got rid of my asthma in 3 days and has not come back in over 10 years. That, being the tip of the iceberg, has helped people reverse stage 4 cancers, autism, joint pain, blood pressure problems, migraine headaches, erectile dysfunction, gingivitis, and more. Also, because of the detoxification effects by the release of oxygen that permeates and heals all the cells in the body, it removes parasites, radiation, fluoride, free radicals, and all the other crap that is thrust upon us in the environment by Big Business.
