Calm Carey on for Profit Satanism

Do they become
40:29
more toxic or more dangerous um when they are mixed together, when they're
40:35
consumed together or were exposed to them together? And what about children? Um in the US as part of our law we have
40:43
um as part of our federal fifer law we have a tenfold safety margin that is supposed to be in place um to protect
40:51
children because they're more vulnerable their body weights their consumption habits
40:56
um their developmental needs um you know they are more vulnerable to these type of contaminants or toxins pesticide
41:03
residues and yet what we see again is when the chemical companies ask our
41:09
regulatory agencies to wave that t-fold safety margin in approving pesticides,
41:16
they almost always do it. Um, and so even though it's it's required in the
41:21
law to have this added protection for children, the regulators usually do not enforce that here in the US.
41:30
I imagine that it's a similar story here in our home in Australia and across most
41:36
of, you know, the colonized world. Yeah.
41:41
Gary. Yeah. When when we look I'm interested in where, you know, what's where are your
41:49
energy and attention going at the moment? You've done all this research, all this work. where where do you think
41:56
your focus and attention needs to go to continue with this incredible work? Um
42:04
what are you doing right now and um
42:10
I'm pulled in so many different directions, right? No, I Well, I'm I'm running a news outlet called The New
42:17
Lead, which I hope that people will check out. Um it's The New Lead, Led D.
42:22
It it was formed um with the backing of the environmental working group in the US which is a very large and uh old
42:29
wellestablished uh research and advocacy organization um working on environmental
42:35
health policy. Uh they don't have anything to do with our editorial content. Um but they do support us and
42:41
uh so we are trying to cover these issues. um you know bring light to
42:47
stories like the glyphosate story and others that that these big companies don't want people to know about. We've
42:52
been writing a lot about um the terrible terrible situation that we have with
42:57
nitrate contamination in the drinking water which is just another horrible thing related to farming and agriculture
43:04
uh which is not just related to the US or just found in the US of course but um
43:10
and paraquad as I mentioned earlier paraquad has been linked to Parkinson's disease there's a growing body of
43:16
evidence that uh you know of the um uh how it affects how it can cross the
43:21
blood brain brain barrier and how it affects these um these uh important neurons in the brain in this particular
43:27
part of the brain that bring on Parkinson symptoms. And you're seeing similar litigation similar to the
43:33
Roundup uh where Sententa uh is being sued and we
43:39
this is probably too far a field but if people are interested in that I would encourage you much like the Monsanto
43:44
papers much like these internal documents that we saw from Monsanto I wrote about in my second book the
43:49
Monsanto papers um showing the company just actively working to deceive and
43:56
confuse and mislead um to contaminate scientific literature. I almost feel
44:03
like the situation with Parakquot and Sententa is more egregious, more deceitful maybe, not sure, but but you
44:11
can look at these documents. We've got them up on the New Lead and we've written numerous stories and but again
44:16
it's the playbook. big pesticide companies, big profitable product, these paraquat
44:24
Grimox Grimoxone um brand name working. Not to say, gosh,
44:32
we better warn people or gosh, maybe we should do more tests on this to make sure it's really safe or, you know,
44:37
maybe we should alert regulators and, you know, do something to change the formula. No, it's all about how do we
44:44
hide it? How do we, you know, get stuff in the research that will support our position? How do we avoid litigation?
44:52
How do we protect ourselves from lawsuits? Um, you very rarely see how do
44:57
we protect the consumer? How do we put the consumer first? You don't see that at all um in these big big companies.
