Getting to Know Monsanto

March 8, 2019 The information in this summary is taken from an article, written by E. Hanzai, that first appeared in the Waking Times  in June of 2014. Monsanto was founded in 1901 by John Queeny, for the purpose of making saccharin for Coca-Cola. He named the company for his wife, Olga Mendez Monsanto. Astonishingly, the government sued Monsanto, since saccharin was a known poison, to make them stop production. It lost! It's been downhill ever since. In the 1920s, Monsanto began production of polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs, a long-lasting toxin and carcinogen. PCBs were banned after fifty years for causing environmental holocaust, but are still present in animal and human blood samples and tissue cells around the world. Court documents plainly showed Monsanto's awareness of PCBs' deadly effects. The pattern of behavior established nearly a hundred years ago continues to this day: hiding the facts from the public, and denial, denial, denial. Monsanto failed to disc...

The Possibilities Are Endless

February 18, 2013 - Falling under the heading of "Science Fiction No More," materials scientists now say we are within two years of commercial development of use-anywhere solar panels.  Because the price of solar cells has fallen at a rate of 6% annually since 1998,  money is no longer an object.  The second roadblock to mass production was also financial: the cost of installation.  With the advent of cheap, durable materials being used to manufacture flexible solar cells, that roadblock will soon be dismantled. In fact, scientists at MIT are working on this next generation of solar panels.  They are organic, thin-film cells, made from abundant, "robust" materials that can be produced inexpensively, relative to first-generation silicon cells.  Coupled with ongoing research at Stanford, where engineers are bent on producing a peel-off solar panel, the days of static solar sources of energy appear to be numbered.  The Stanford prototype adheres to ...
