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...

April 2, 2017 - The following was sent to me by Credo by email today. Please read and take action: Stunning new documents unsealed by a federal judge suggest that Monsanto worked directly with  federal regulators to hide the health risks of and manipulate the science behind its best-selling herbicide, RoundUp. The documents reveal that Monsanto pressured Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) officials to not publicly release information on the cancer risks of glyphosate, the main ingredient in RoundUp, ghost- wrote research for the EPA and worked with a senior official at the agency to quash a federal review of the chemical. These documents suggest an unprecedented level of collusion between the EPA and Monsanto  to cover up evidence that RoundUp is a likely carcinogen.  The Office of Inspector General of the  EPA, an independent office tasked with investigating fraud and abuse in the agency, must immediately lau...

March 25, 2015 - I recall, back in the early 1970's, the constant stream of news stories telling Americans that virtually every new product recently developed contained something that caused cancer.  Honestly, it was hard to know what to do with the information.  I think because there were so many stories - several a week, it seemed like - there was also a lot of skepticism.  All these years later, I will confess we should have demanded that the products be pulled from the shelves.  We didn't, and now we pay the price with our own lives, and the lives of our children and grandchildren. I volunteer at the elementary school's library.  The librarian, incredibly competent and caring, is also the mother of two daughters.  Her younger child has had to be treated twice for leukemia.  The second go-round was caused by the first; yes, that's what I'm saying - the chemotherapy caused her to contract leukemia for a second time.  In all likelihood, chemica...
