“An authoritative takedown of a corporation that evidently cares little for public health.” — Kirkus
When global conglomerate Bayer AG paid $63 billion in 2018 to buy Monsanto Company, the deal was seen as a boost to Bayer’s wealth and power. But only two years later, Bayer was forced to agree to pay $11 billion to settle the claims of more than 100,000 cancer victims who alleged their suffering was caused by the use of Monsanto’s flagship herbicide, Roundup. That settlement may never have happened without Lee Johnson.
The Monsanto Papers: Deadly Secrets, Corporate Corruption, and One Man’s Search for Justice (publication date: March 2, 2021) tells the inside story of Lee Johnson’s landmark lawsuit against Monsanto after a workplace accident left Lee doused in Monsanto’s herbicide and facing a deadly cancer. Lee was the first to take Monsanto to trial, drawing attention from around the world as his case became one of the most dramatic legal battles in courthouse history.

I want to give here a personal account of the change in my own belief about the genesis of hydrocarbons as I feel it will become increasingly important in the near future to grasp precisely what the Oil Game of the Big Four Anglo-American oil giants--ExxonMobil, Chevron, Shell and BP--is truly about. It's about creating myths, lies and ultimately oil wars based on those myths and lies.

The Monsanto Papers - a documentary about fraudulent science, Roundup and cancer
- Details
- Written by: Tore B. Krudtaa
The company Monsanto has for many years won many farmers hart by spreading disinformation and corrupt science. For years they have been spreading information about how safe Roundup and glyphosate should be. Recently a court case in the USA reveal information that might expose the fraudulant Monsanto science for what it really is. Time will show if Monsanto (now Bayer) manage to control the outcome of the ongoing court case - or if justice will prevail. One of the underlying serious issues here, which explain why these toxic products is allowed on the market, is the corrupt regulatory systems which exist in most western countries. Where the companies themselves (such as Monsanto and Bayer) produce the science which the regulatory bodies then use as basis for risk assessing the products from the very same companies. As if Monsanto (or Bayer, or any other company) ever would allow studies which show their product to be dangerous for health and the environment - to be published. We need a completely new risk assessment paradigm. If not, the history will just repeat itself. See the revealing documentary - and please spread the information on social media and blogposts.

If nothing to this date have convinced our regulatory bodies which have approved the use of Glyphosate based herbicides (e.g. Roundup) as well as other chemicals used in agriculture which immobilize nutrients vital to life, and GMO's resistant to glyphosate, then this revealing interview with Dr. Huber should guide our regulatory bodies to ban all use of the before mentioned products, untill longterm independent studies prove him wrong.

GMO spokesman turned GMO whistleblower
interview by Tsiporah Grignon
Dr. Thierry Vrain, a former soil biologist and genetic scientist, worked for Agriculture Canada for 30 years. He was the designated spokesperson to assure the public of the safety of GMO crops. Since retiring 10 years ago, after taking into account scientific evidence ignored by most of the bio-tech industry promoters and government regulators, Dr. Vrain has reversed that position and now warns of the dangers from GMOs.
Fish farming

In Norway, one of the biggest threats to the biodiversity is all the numerous fish farms along the coast. Here we will inform you about the negative sides of the fishfarm industry in relation to farmed salmon and farmed cod.
The image below is from a cod that escaped a fish farm in Norway. It has gotten the nickname parrot cod because of its deformed mouth. (image borrowed from the Green Warriors)
Norway has been producing farmed salmon and farmed cod for many years. Environmental organizations has for many years demanded that this industry should move all their production to closed production plants. The reason for this is multifaceted.
One of the negative effects related to this kind of production is that farmed salmon in houndreds of thousands escape the fishfarms. These escaped farmed salmon then consume huge quantities of wild fish in order to survive. Wild fish that would normally serve as food for the wild fish.

You might wonder what relation there is between this indian woman and the toxic genetically modified eggplant (Bt Brinjal), which where intended as food for the indian population. The orange symbol on this womans left cheek is not a tattoo. It's the international symbol for biohazard. Had it not been for independent science then a large number of people in India would probably been eating toxic eggplant for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Myth: The Séralini (2012) study was bad science and no conclusions can be drawn from it
Myth: The Séralini (2012) study was bad science and no conclusions can be drawn from itTruth: The Séralini study is the most detailed and thorough study ever done on a GM food and its associated pesticide
A study published in 2012 found that a Monsanto GM Roundup-tolerant maize and very low levels of the Roundup herbicide it was engineered to be grown with caused severe organ damage and hormonal disruption in rats fed over a long-term period of two years. Unexpected additional observations were increased rates of large palpable tumours and premature death in some treatment groups.1
The study was carried out by a team led by Professor Gilles-Eric Séralini, based at the University of Caen, France.

Do we need a basic change in the economic system?
- Details
- Written by: Tore B. Krudtaa
In 1913 the congress of the United States approved a bill which resulted in a lot of negative consequenses for the national and private economy. In short: It was decided that a privately owned cartel of banks should have the responsibility of the money-printing process. That was not all, the same cartel could now demand interest from the money they printet.
What most people are not aware of, is that before this point in time, the state had in fact printed it's own money and borrowed the same money, interest-free, to various projects. Actually with great success.
Electrohypersensitivity – In January 2015, how far from January 1945 were we?

I will always remember January 2015. That month we all commemorated the terrifying atrocities performed by the Nazis in the concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau; it was then 70 years after the camp had been liberated by the Allied forces. It is with an enormous sense of shame and guilt one watches the films and written documents describing what happened then, and the role certain medical doctors had in the horrible experiments and brutal killings of Jews, Romani, Slavs, communists, and the functionally impaired persons.

The most thoroughly toxicological feeding study with GMO-corn NK603 and the herbicide Roundup show that rats develop cancer and severe problems with kidney and liver. The results from this study which where published 19. september 2012 sent shockwaves through the GMO-industry, science communities and regulatory authorities around the world. Professor Gilles-Eric Seralini and his research team has been feeding rats with GMO-corn NK603 (both sprayed with the herbicide Roundup and not), as well as giving the rats only Roundup via their drinking water. The results from the study show that both GMO and Roundup can be highly dangerous for the health.
No More National Debt

"Sovereign nations don't have to borrow their money into existence, yet the U.S has done so since 1913. You cannot "pay down" the National Debt because all of our money is created out of debt. To reduce the debt would be to reduce the national money. The only solution is to do what's been done many times throughout U.S. history, issue debt-free U.S. Notes, instead of Federal Reserve Notes and break free of the debt money system. The problem is the same for every nation on earth, as is the solution. Nations don't have to borrow; nations can create."
