Dupont enters the food business in a big way

[midnight rambler]

If you eat processed food, then in the foreseeable future you can expect to be eating Dupont food chemicals.

They will follow in the footsteps of Monsanto which in my opinion is the most evil company ever allowed to exist

IMO, Dupont is a close second. Everyone has teflon molecules in their bloodstream thanks to Dupont, amongst other very thoughtful things Dupont has done.

I can really see all small, home, and independent farms being outlawed now. Before it was something that thought obviously would eventually happen, but now I can actually see how it will happen.

You can bet your asp it won't be this good...

Great, now I won't have to purchase any Kevlar as my skin will turn bulletproof and I won't have to take a shower because the Teflon will deflect dirt away from me.

DuPont, saving you money and frustration :sarc:

Goldman Sachs is worse IMO.

To my understanding... Hearst and Dupont had put a lot of money invested into a new paper making process using wood pulp. Making paper out of hemp instead of wood pulp would have been much cheaper, eco friendly and would have made a superior paper product. However money and stupidity won out in the end.

So hemp was demonized by using the mexican slang name for hemp.... thus associating it with mexicans. They said marijuana would turn their ruin their children by turning them all into sex slaves... or violent criminals with smoking marijuana just once.

The mis-information/propaganda attack of hemp tainted anything and everything associated with hemp. It was all done for money.

Anyway... Dupont and or Monsanto will doom us all with the GM foods and the variety of engineered poisons that they have introduced into our closed system we call Earth and home. Screw them!!!

With the way laws are enacted and enforced this makes America a classic example of Corporate Fascism IMHO! The peaceful ways of addressing a grievance are disappearing and I see a future filled with suffering for the US.

So.... sorry about the rambling. But Dupont is evil!

Harry Jacob Anslinger had a lot to do with it. he was the nation's first Drug Czar in 1937. maybe making hemp illegal was part of a larger plan to boost certain parts of the economy.

"Some of his critics allege that Anslinger and the campaign against marijuana had an hidden agenda, DuPont petrochemical interests and William Randolph Hearst together created the highly sensational anti-marijuana campaign to eliminate hemp as an industrial competitor."

Anslinger was Jewish. he was just trying to protect us ... :sarc:

Ahh yes, Angslinger and the 'Gore files' (http://reefermadnessmuseum.org/chap10/Gore.htm).....

As the others have stated, Dupont, along with Hearst played a massive role in the demonization and more importantly, the RENAMING of Cannibas to Marijuana. Marijuana was a derrogatory slang term used in Mexico, and other Latin countries. It made it a 'drug' instead of a natural resource.

Dupont came up with their man made 'chemical' plastic around the early 1900's. It was widely known that Cannabis seed oil could be used for a whole slew of things. But the plant could not be copyrighted/trademarked. Dupont had just created what they called 'Nylon', and was to overtake Cannabis in the rope industry. (Cannibas had been used for making rope for CENTURIES)

The Dupont family is a SLEEPER. There were over 1600 millionaire Duponts in the late 1960's. A million dollars in the 60's was ALOT of money.



In the 1930s, innovations in farm machinery would have caused an industrial revolution when applied to hemp. This single resource could have created millions of new jobs generating thousands of quality products. Hemp, if not made illegal, would have brought America out of the Great Depression.

William Randolph Hearst (Citizen Kane) and the Hearst Paper Manufacturing Division of Kimberly Clark owned vast acreage of timberlands. The Hearst Company supplied most paper products. Patty Hearst’s grandfather, a destroyer of nature for his own personal profit, stood to lose billions because of hemp.

In 1937, Dupont patented the processes to make plastics from oil and coal. Dupont’s Annual Report urged stockholders to invest in its new petrochemical division. Synthetics such as plastics, cellophane, celluloid, methanol, nylon, rayon, Dacron, etc., could now be made from oil. Natural hemp industrialization would have ruined over 80% of Dupont’s business.

THE CONSPIRACY

Andrew Mellon became Hoover’s Secretary of the Treasury and Dupont’s primary investor. He appointed his future nephew-in-law, Harry J. Anslinger, to head the Federal Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs.

Secret meetings were held by these financial tycoons. Hemp was declared dangerous and a threat to their billion dollar enterprises. For their dynasties to remain intact, hemp had to go. These men took an obscure Mexican slang word: ‘marihuana’ and pushed it into the consciousness of America.

MEDIA MANIPULATION

A media blitz of ‘yellow journalism’ raged in the late 1920s and 1930s. Hearst’s newspapers ran stories emphasizing the horrors of marihuana. The menace of marihuana made headlines. Readers learned that it was responsible for everything from car accidents to loose morality.

Films like ‘Reefer Madness’ (1936), ‘Marihuana: Assassin of Youth’ (1935) and ‘Marihuana: The Devil’s Weed’ (1936) were propaganda designed by these industrialists to create an enemy. Their purpose was to gain public support so that anti-marihuana laws could be passed.

Thanks... :) I'd forgotten all about that.

it still is. half a mill will buy 10,000 ounces of silver and about 120 ounces of gold.

which is a good start, and quite adequate for a boating accident.
