Millions Died Thanks to the Mother of Environmentalism (Nice Try Paul)
Dr. Rima replies: Nonsense, Paul. Once again, your pro-industry (as in “an infant can safely receive 10,000 vaccinations” absurdity) is shameful. As presented to the US Congress and the World Health Organization by William Mueller, trials in Ghana and elsewhere showed conclusively that non-toxic, self sterilizing, inexpensive, no-cool-chai-required Nano Silver cured all forms of malaria. In a malaria hospital in Ghana, 100% of the 53 adult male terminal malaria patients took an oaverage of under 4 days to clear the parasite totally without any recurrance.… Read the rest

Bayer and Other Seed and Pesticide Companies Pressured Researchers to Omit Pictures and Results from Study

Fish Farm Fugitives: Escapees Demonstrate How Dangerous Aquaculture Really Is
  Escape From The Alcatraz Of Aquaculture: How Fish Farm Escapees Are Changing The Ecosystem Permanently No matter how many times humanity is taught certain lessons we never really seem to learn. Our history abounds with examples where we tried to control or alter the delicate balance of nature to better benefit humankind, for example the introduction of the mongoose to the Hawaiian islands at the height of the plantation era in the mid 1800s, ostensibly to kill the native tree rats that threatened the sugarcane and the profits of the planter class.… Read the rest

A Massive Protest Against An Oil Pipeline Has Been Going On In North Dakota Since April–Where’s The Media?
Why Aren’t The Media Covering The Massive Protest In North Dakota Stopping A Billion Dollar Oil Pipeline? “If it bleeds, it leads.” That’s an old newspaper truism, illustrating the stark economy of the news business: nobody wants to read about boring legislative actions, but hit them with a juicy murder-suicide and you will almost certainly sell more papers. Which is why it perhaps isn’t so surprising that there has been scant coverage of the standoff between a Native American tribe and a company that is attempting to build a $3.8 billion oil pipeline through their ancestral lands that would eventually reach Illinois.… Read the rest

A Shocker: EPA Actually Takes Steps To Protect The Environment, Halting Sales Of Bayer’s Toxic Insecticide Belt
EPA Wins One For The Environment For A Change, Wins Fight To Ban Bayer’s Deadly Insecticide Containing Flubendiamide In these days of captive agencies cravenly cowering before the power of the billion dollar corporations they are supposed to be regulating (for reference, please see Wall Street/SEC, factory farming/USDA, pharmaceuticals/FDA, etc. etc.) it always comes as a shock when a regulatory agency actually, you know, regulates something in such a way that it benefits the people and the environment.… Read the rest

A Complete 360: Turning Trash Into Fuel May Sound Like Science Fiction, But It May Be The Only Way To Save The Planet
Saving The Oceans: The Answer May Lie In A Futuristic Plant To Turn Trash Into Fuel As anyone who has been paying any amount of attention knows, the oceans are in trouble. Big trouble. From coral bleaching killing off upwards of a fourth of the coral that makes up the Great Barrier Reef to massive fish and sea mammal die-offs in the South Pacific, to the horrific amounts of plastic that litter the oceans creating massive artificial island of garbage that routinely poison, strangle and kill millions of fish and birds, never before has our disdain for the environment that sustains us been on such stark display.… Read the rest
