I assure you, this is building up in all of us. Lab tests prove this with hair, blood and urine . . . they are building up in all of us. Not only is it right here, right now, toxifying every breath we take, it is decimating the earth life support system, the protective layers of the atmosphere and the ozone layer. This is an all-out assault against life. This is being used as a weapon. These programs are not benevolent. In addition to being used as a weapon, climate engineering is being used to mask, and this is very important, it is being used to mask the full severity of climate collapse from the population by confusing and dividing people. . . .

Toxic Weed Killer Glyphosate Found in 19 of 20 Beers and Wines Tested – Including Organic
February 26, 2019
Olivia Rosane, EcoWatch
Waking Times
Glyphosate—the active ingredient in Monsanto‘s Roundup weedkiller that some studies have linked to cancer—is also a secret ingredient in nearly 20 popular beers and wines.
That’s the finding of a new study from the education group U.S. PIRG, which found glyphosate in 19 of 20 wine and beer brands tested, including organic labels and brews.
BREAKING: Glyphosate, a key ingredient in #Roundup, has been found in wine and beer…even in organic brands. #BanRoundup https://t.co/PApgrpNFuV
— U.S. PIRG (@uspirg) February 25, 2019
The release of the study coincides with the beginning of the first federal trial against Monsanto and its new parent company Bayer over whether Roundup use caused a plaintiff’s cancer, USA Today reported Monday.
“With a federal court looking at the connection between Roundup and cancer today, we believe this is the perfect time to shine a spotlight on glyphosate,” study author and U.S. PIRG Toxic’s Director Kara Cook-Schultz told USA Today. “This chemical could prove a true risk to so many Americans’ health, and they should know that it is everywhere – including in many of their favorite drinks.”
The drink with the highest glyphosate concentration was Sutter Home Merlot, at 51.4 parts per billion (ppb). Popular beer brands like Coors Light, Miller Lite and Budweiser all had concentrations above 25 ppb. The full results of the study, from highest to lowest glyphosate concentration in ppb, are listed below.
Wines
Sutter Home Merlot: 51.4 ppb
Beringer Founders Estates Moscato: 42.6 ppb
Barefoot Cabernet Sauvignon: 36.3 ppb
Inkarri Malbec, Certified Organic: 5.3 ppb
Frey Organic Natural White: 4.8 ppb
Beers
Tsingtao Beer: 49.7 ppb
Coors Light: 31.1 ppb
Miller Lite: 29.8 ppb
Budweiser: 27.0 ppb
Corona Extra: 25.1 ppb
Heineken: 20.9 ppb
Guinness Draught: 20.3 ppb
Stella Artois: 18.7 ppb
Ace Perry Hard Cider: 14.5 ppb
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale: 11.8 ppb
New Belgium Fat Tire Amber Ale: 11.2 ppb
Sam Adams New England IPA: 11.0 ppb
Stella Artois Cidre: 9.1 ppb
Samuel Smith’s Organic Lager: 5.7 ppb
The only beverage tested that contained no glyphosate was Peak Beer Organic IPA.
LAST CHANCE! Sale ends Feb 28. Berkey water filters at up to 31% discount.
The amounts found were far below the safety limits for glyphosate set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as Bayer toxicologist William Reeves told CBS News via a spokesperson.
“The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency sets daily exposure limits at least 100 times below levels shown to have no negative effect in safety studies,” Reeves said. “Assuming the greatest value reported, 51.4 ppb, is correct, a 125-pound adult would have to consume 308 gallons of wine per day, every day for life to reach the US Environmental Protection Agency’s glyphosate exposure limit for humans. To put 308 gallons into context, that would be more than a bottle of wine every minute, for life, without sleeping.”
However, the study noted that chemicals aren’t necessarily safe just because regulatory bodies say they are.
“While these levels of glyphosate are below EPA risk tolerances for beverages, it is possible that even low levels of glyphosate can be problematic. For example, in one study, scientists found that 1 part per trillion of glyphosate has the potential to stimulate the growth of breast cancer cells and disrupt the endocrine system,” the study said.
The EPA has found that glyphosate is not carcinogenic to humans, but the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer ruled it was a probable human carcinogen in 2015. More recently, a study released February found that those exposed to glyphosate were 41 percent more likely to develop non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
In the first case to go to trial against Monsanto over Roundup last year, a jury ruled that exposure to glyphosate had caused the non-Hodgkin lymphoma of California groundskeeper Dewayne Johnson. Plaintiff Edwin Hardeman is making a similar claim in the first federal glyphosate trial that started Monday.
“Due to glyphosate’s many health risks and its ubiquitous nature in our food, water and alcohol, the use of glyphosate in the U.S. should be banned unless and until it can be proven safe,” the U.S. PIRG study advised.

Beware of GMO Potatoes
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
Any product made with potato will be subject to added scrutiny before it can receive The Non-GMO Project’s verification stamp due to widespread prevalence of genetically engineered (GE) potato in the U.S. food supply
The first-generation GE Innate® potato, developed by J.R. Simplot and branded simply as White Russet™, was approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) in 2014 and entered the U.S. marketplace the following year
The Innate® potato has been modified using RNA interference (RNAi) technology to inhibit blackspot bruising and browning by reducing levels of asparagine and certain enzymes in the potato
Genetic engineer Caius Rommens, former director of R&D at J.R. Simplot Co. and a former team leader at Monsanto, has written a tell-all book about the GE potatoes
In his book, “Pandora’s Potatoes: The Worst GMOs,” Rommens reveals the GE potatoes contain unstable traits and unintended mutations that compromise nutrition, noting they are likely to contain new toxins
https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2018/11/27/gmo-potatoes.aspx?utm_source=dnl&utm_medium=email&utm_content=artTest_B6&utm_campaign=20181121Z1_NB_UCM&et_cid=DM248328&et_rid=476122949
Seems to me much of the problem is pesticides and weed killers, IMO. Bugs are the diet for the bottom of the chain vertebrates, plastics not even close to the main problem for land animals. Growing up in the 50's and 60's not too far from a swamp, I'd see frogs, snakes, and huge flocks of birds. I don't see hardly any now in the metro ara I live in.
And plants are food for many of the bottom of the chain vertebrates as well. I can't see how eating traces of Roundup directly does small vertebrates and good.
BP oil spill, plastics, pollution, etc., yes deforestation in So. and Central America is a problem too as well as the rest of the world.
All commodities, less oil are having a breakout day today, rules of investing are being changed for medium and long term investing as of today?

Swimming in Circles: Aquaculture and the End of Wild Oceans
https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2018/09/30/aquaculture.aspx?utm_source=dnl&utm_medium=email&utm_content=art1&utm_campaign=20180930Z1_UCM&et_cid=DM237524&et_rid=432759480
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
The two most dangerous foods served in most restaurants are factory farmed chicken, which is responsible for a majority of foodborne illnesses, and farmed salmon, which is among the most toxic foods on the planet
Three decades ago, many towns would have local fish markets that sold a wide variety of locally caught fish. Most fish markets have now been replaced by chain stores that use computerized systems to maintain a consistent supply, and this industrialization pushed aquaculture forward
Aquafarms are frequently imposed in locations where people are desperate for jobs. Alas, they inevitably end up destroying healthy wild fisheries in those same area
While most aquafarms are located in open water, land-based operations are becoming more common, especially with the introduction of genetically engineered salmon, which are not allowed to be raised in open water due to their environmental impact, should they get free
As a consumer, one of the best things you can do is to locate a local community-supported fishery. You can also buy wild-caught fish online

The Failed Promises and Flawed Science of Genetic Engineering .
(A Special Interview with Dr. Don Huber)
By Dr. Joseph Mercola
GMO plants, GMO people, and Cancer By Jon Rappoport April 22, 2014
There is an extraordinary parallel between what biotech corporations are doing with food plants, and what cancer researchers are trying to do with humans. The comparison is not only instructive, it reveals what the future holds. The war against cancer has painted a picture of hope: genetic solutions, genetic modifications. This, despite the fact that there are no successful genetic treatments for any form of human cancer. The focus on genes is a diversion from obvious causes of cancer in the environment: industrial chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, food additives, and even pharmaceuticals. This futile gene-fix has a parallel in food crops: modify the genes of plants so they can grow despite drenching them with toxic pesticides. However, massive GMO crop failures and reduced nutritive value of such crops are two reasons why the gene model fails. So it is with human cancer: "let's modify the genes of people and they will be impervious to the environmental assault of chemicals that cause cancer." In other words, the cancer-fantasy proposes that someday, humans will be able to live in a toxic soup created by mega-corporations, because they have been genetically altered. There is no reason under the sun to believe this. "Even if environmental toxins trigger gene mutations that bring about cancer, we can just cancel out those mutations through better human engineering." Preposterous. This is like saying you can cure diseases caused by germs even though people's immune systems are severely and chronically compromised. The entire cancer industry exists to protect the corporations that are manufacturing products that cause cancer. I made these points during a Coast to Coast AM radio interview last week, and I make them here again, because major media news outlets are silent; they are part of the cancer industry and are beholden to the cancer-causing corporations that buy huge blocks of commercials. In the so-called cancer research community, scientists can spin their wheels and obtain grant monies to do experiments with genes and mice and cell lines forever and never emerge with results that save lives. These scientists and their corporate masters can herald minor tumor reductions. But nothing changes. The war on cancer is a war on people. Think about it: "Look, we can alter the gene structure of food plants. Then we can hit those plants with huge amounts of toxic chemicals (pesticides and herbicides) and the plants will still grow. So let's do this with humans. Alter their gene structure so all the cancer-causing chemicals in the environment won't have any effect. It's brilliant." No. It's insane.
