European Commission pathetically surrenders to chemical industry, relicensing glyphosate at the last minute despite massive opposition
7 July 2016 GMT

The European Commission has re-approved the use of glyphosate for another 18 months, despite repeatedly being unable to secure a majority decision from EU member states.

The last minute decision came as no surprise to most observers, and serves as testimony to how powerful the chemical industry truly is in terms of influencing legislation – even when the populace has consistently voiced its opposition.’

Dissecting The Royal Society’s GMO Whitewash
7 July 2016 GMT
CORBETT REPORT
‘Dr. Robert Verkerk is the Executive and Scientific Director of the Alliance for Natural Health. Today we discuss his recent article, “UK Royal Society whitewash on GM crops,” which breaks down the Royal Society’s recent report on the safety of genetically modified foods. From false assurances of consensus to exclusion of key issues like glyphosates and superweeds, we show how the latest report is a whitewash and discuss why the Royal Society is promoting the biotech industry.’

US Department Of Justice Helps Dow Chemical Avoid India’s Court Summons For Bhopal Disaster
8 July 2016

‘According to the Indian Council for Medical Research, over 520,000 people were harmed in the disaster. At least 3,000 people died that night. Some estimates suggest as many as 8,000 people died in the first two weeks, and another 8,000 have died of diseases like cancer and respiratory problems in the years since.

Activists and survivors are still struggling for justice for what’s considered history’s worst industrial disaster. Under a 1989 settlement, survivors received only about $500 each, and Union Carbide was absolved of responsibility, despite evidence that it repeatedly cut corners on safety.

In 1999, Dow Chemical purchased Union Carbide, hampering the quest for justice. Now, activists say the U.S. Department of Justice is protecting Dow from being forced to appear before India’s courts on manslaughter charges.’

the horror continues....

‘Over the course of his presidency, Barrack Obama transformed from a politician who spoke of the need to wean the country from its dangerous dependence on oil to one who boasted of how much he had done to boost domestic oil drilling.

Now documents obtained via a lawsuit reveal how the administration allowed energy companies to dump more than 76 billion gallons of toxic, radioactive fracking wastewater directly into the Gulf of Mexico — and that’s just in 2014.

Permission to dump came along with the more than 1,200 offshore fracking permits that the administration granted between 2010 and 2014.’
