A Faustian bargain with corporate power: From Monsanto to Bayer, the worst of both worlds

monsanto bayer
Environmentalist and campaigner Rosemary Mason has been relentlessly exposing the insidious effects of agrochemicals on human health and the environment through a decade-long series of incisive reports. Many of these reports have taken the form of scathing open letters directed at corporations, regulators and officials in the UK and the EU.

Mason has never held back in her condemnations of the agrochemical giants. After Bayer's acquisition of Monsanto in 2018, her focus sharpened on Bayer, scrutinising its troubling history and its actions, not least during one of humanity's darkest chapters: Nazi Germany.

Bayer's complicity as part of IG Farben, a chemical and pharmaceutical conglomerate notorious for its involvement in war crimes, has been well documented. The company was formed in 1925 from a merger of six chemical firms: Agfa, BASF, Bayer, Chemische Fabrik Griesheim-Elektron, Hoechst and Weiler-ter-Meer.

Report says North Carolinians burying their dead in back yards as morgues overflow

"According to folks on the ground โ€” fire, medical, law enforcement officials โ€” they're way underreporting the numbers."

North Carolinians have been forced to bury their dead in their back yards as the death tolls have continued to rise. Americans in impacted areas are having trouble finding spaces in morgues for their deceased loved ones. Across six different states, the number of deaths has risen to at least 227, with about half of those victims being in North Carolina.

According to the Spectator, North Carolina families have become so desperate in search of a place to bury their dead that they have often done so in their yards. "It's so much worse than they're saying," said one person in Ashville. "I think there's a massive cover-up."

A new national database maps gender-affirming care for minors, listing where children are getting puberty blockers, hormone replacement therapy and sex reassignment surgery โ€” and calls out some of the nation's most notorious providers.

Researchers were able to identify a total of 13,994 minors across the United States who received medical treatment for gender dysphoria over the course of four years. Shockingly, over 5,700 of those kids were operated on.

The searchable database from Do No Harm is called "Does My Hospital Transition Kids?" and launches today. It maps providers and hospitals which provide gender affirming care.

The database can be searched by state, or by specific facility if you're wondering about your local hospital. In total, there are 225 children's hospitals on the map.

Do No Harm, an advocacy group that represents medical professionals concerned about identity politics, gender ideology, and DEI practices in medicine, was able to aggregate their figures by scouring a selection of insurance claims filed nationwide between 2019 and 2023.

Israel Genocide Apologist Labels Media Coverage of Dead Palestinians 'Blood Libel'

On Sunday October 6, a day before the one year anniversary of the latest - and hopefully the last - genocidal rampage of Israel against the Palestinian population, especially in the Gaza strip, an article appeared in the Observer, penned by a Howard Jacobson and titled accusingly, "Tales of infanticide have stoked hatred of Jews for centuries. They echo still today".

The following picture accompanied the piece, as if to whitewash from memory all the photos of real dead and maimed children among piles of rubble and wrapped in white sheets we have been seeing daily for a year on our screens.

Helicopter with pilots wearing 'military headgear' sabotages Hurricane Helene recovery supplies at NC distribution site

Volunteers in one tiny North Carolina town have revealed a disturbing incident that unfolded Sunday night as the region tries to recover from Hurricane Helene.

Videos have emerged on social media showing an unidentified helicopter with pilots wearing military-style headgear sabotaging direly needed supplies at a United Cajun Navy distribution site in Burnsville despite volunteers in a seemingly deliberate act of sabotage despite volunteers allegedly designating the area as a "no-fly, no drop" zone just hours before.

TikTok user @megsnbacn claimed that the chopper flew in just after 7 p.m. while she was conducting a K9 Security round. She stated that the helicopter did not belong to any of them and was unmarked, which is illegal.

She also stated that 45 minutes before the aircraft arrived, two unidentified SUVs showed up, did a "slow roll" at the entrance of the parking lot, and fled the area. The SUVs, too, did not belong to the volunteers.

OpenAI as we knew it is dead

The maker of ChatGPT promised to share its profits with the public. But Sam Altman just sold you out.
OpenAI, the company that brought you ChatGPT, just sold you out.

Since its founding in 2015, its leaders have said their top priority is making sure artificial intelligence is developed safely and beneficially. They've touted the company's unusual corporate structure as a way of proving the purity of its motives. OpenAI was a nonprofit controlled not by its CEO or by its shareholders, but by a board with a single mission: keep humanity safe.

But this week, the news broke that OpenAI will no longer be controlled by the nonprofit board. OpenAI is turning into a full-fledged for-profit benefit corporation. Oh, and CEO Sam Altman, who had previously emphasized that he didn't have any equity in the company, will now get equity worth billions, in addition to ultimate control over OpenAI.

Israeli settlers are seizing occupied West Bank land under the cover of war

With the world's focus on Gaza, settlers - often abetted by the Israeli army - are violently dispossessing Palestinians of their ancestral lands

Hussein Khasib lives in constant fear, knowing he and his family could be next.

Over the past year, while much of the world's attention has been focused on the war on Gaza, several residents of Umm Safa - a picturesque village just 12km north of Ramallah - have been driven from their homes by armed settlers, often aided by the Israeli army.

Settler violence is not a new phenomenon in the occupied West Bank, where large swathes of territory are under Israeli civil and military control.

But since the war on Gaza erupted, land seizures and violent attacks aimed at forcing Palestinians to abandon their homes have spiked. The attacks have coincided with sweeping movement restrictions that have seen Palestinians denied access to cities, towns and villages.

"Hunger Games $hit": DHS head Mayorkas shops in Georgetown while Katrina-like disaster unfolds in North Carolina

A massive shitstorm has erupted for Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas after he told reporters last week that FEMA "does not have the funds" for the remainder of the Atlantic hurricane season. Meanwhile, reports suggest the agency's resources were depleted to address Biden-Harris' open southern border policies that facilitated the greatest migrant invasion this nation has ever seen.

On Sunday morning, the latest power data for the US Southeast region showed that across North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georiga, more than 400,000 customers are without power.

Hurricane Helene, those without power after Hurricane Helene
Rescue operations in western North Carolina are continuing amid reports that FEMA hindered private citizens from flying aircraft and other ground-based operations to bring in supplies or conduct rescue operations. It's just been an epic mess by the federal government.

Hurricane Helene exposes a deep betrayal of America

Hurricane Helene aftermath
Americans across several states are suffering and attempting to survive under unimaginably harsh conditions, without food and water, in that aftermath of Hurricane Helene which tore across ten states in the Southeast last week, leaving a path of destruction in its wake. And a week later, these people have found that they are largely on their own, as all the real help that has arrived has come through the efforts of individuals and nonprofit groups such as Samaritan Purse, Mountain Mule Packers Ranch, Save Our Allies and Aerial Recovery, which has exposed the fact โ€” to anyone who didn't already know โ€” that the Biden regime doesn't give a good damn about them, as Biden and his minions have engaged in not just dereliction of duty but the worst betrayal of the American people ever witnessed, since the birth of the nation.

Joe Biden, the placeholder-in-chief, showed up in Georgia [10-3-24] to give lip-service to the disaster and made promises of money to come, some twenty million dollars, and a recovery that will supposedly be totally undertaken by the federal government. No one should hold their breath waiting on that help to arrive, but if it does, they can bet the farm it will come with the intent of helping Biden special interest groups and supporters first.

Americans should note: $20 million for the victims of Helene and well over $640 million for illegal aliens and approximately $180 BILLION for Ukraine. When does THIS Damned MADNESS Stop!?!

It's an astounding matter that despite assertions of nineteen thousand National Guardsmen and FEMA workers already being on the ground in those states most severely affected, from Florida to Tennessee and Georgia and on to the horrific situation near Asheville, North Carolina, no one can find them, as FEMA workers are simply sitting in their trucks and sending out mass emails with an app for the victims of Helene to use to apply for financial help, rebuilding their homes, and most importantly finding a way to have food and water and medicines sent their way as soon as possible โ€” THIS in areas where there currently isn't electricity or any cellphone reception and internet.
