After all the spraying we’ve been through, after the Zika scare, after all the news about our corrupt governor Scott– I have NO idea why but Monroe County voters and those in the Lower Keys neighborhood of Key Haven were split on election day. Half the people are trusting of the plan the government has to release Oxitec GM mosquitoes in Key Haven as a test to see if they can reduce the population of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, which carry Zika and other viruses. (The original GM mosquitos they released in Brazil still feel somehow connected to mess.) From the […]
[…]and in various parts of Europe including Italy, France, Belgium, and Berlin. Precision pesticide-spraying—‘holistic’ and ‘sustainable’? Bayer describes its ForwardFarming project as “an initiative that works with independent farms around the world to help advance sustainable agriculture.” So, what is it exactly that Bayer is doing that’s sustainable? Promoting GPS technology that helps farmers spray pesticides with precision, glyphosate included. According to Bayer’s website, “digital farming techniques, such as GPS informed precision spraying . . . are all demonstrated on the fam.” These tools allow farmers “to take a holistic approach to sustainable farming.” Holistic approach? Don’t be fooled by […]
Guys-THIS IS BREAKING NEWS. As if the spraying isn’t enough, or the impending pipeline, or the water ruined by toxic algae from the sugar plants, now this. A massive sinkhole in Florida has allowed millions of gallons of radioactive water to pour into one of the world’s most productive aquifers. On August 27th, crews in a containment pond at the New Wales Mosaic plant in Mulberry found the sinkhole. From the article: “A field technician found the water level had dropped at one of the ponds, and upon investigation, found a 45-foot hole with seemingly no bottom, WFTS-TV reports. Since […]
[…]Foer’s critically acclaimed book of the same name. RELATED STORY: New Zealand is aerial spraying pristine land and then having animals eat off it, experts are worried Portman narrates the film, which promotes the transition from industrial factory farming to more humane, and more environmentally sustainable and regenerative farming methods. From the “Eating Animals” website: “Eating Animals” is an urgent, eye-opening look at the environmental, economic and public health consequences of factory farming. Tracing the history of food production in the United States, the film charts how farming has gone from local and sustainable to a corporate Frankenstein monster that offers cheap eggs, meat and dairy […]
[…]it could have on the panther community. RELATED STORY: NBC: Florida Fish & Wildlife to stop spraying Roundup Statewide According to the FWC, the sad situation seems to be located in three general areas – Collier, Lee and Sarasota counties. One panther was photographed that may be affected in Charlotte County. The FWC is not sure what is causing the disorder. They are actively testing for numerous potential toxins such as rat poison (which has been found in 85 percent of tested mountain lions and bobcats in California) and pesticides. They are also considering nutritional deficiencies and infectious diseases. McRae […]
[…]jet tanker aircraft. Next, the vast majority of the clearly visible jet aircraft particulate spraying is occurring in the Troposphere. #6 “Nozzles still need to be designed which can continuously blast out trillions of particles”. Yet another complete deception from CNBC. Retrofit spray nozzles are absolutely located on the wing pylons of most commercial carrier jet aircraft, and on military tankers. These nozzles are aimed directly into the jet exhaust stream to make the dispersion look like “condensation”. The “condensation trail” lie is perhaps the biggest deception ever perpetrated on populations around the world. ALL commercial aircraft and ALL military tankers […]
[…]of dirty black water washes over it. RELATED STORY: NBC: Florida Fish & Wildlife to stop spraying Roundup Statewide Sadly, that actually happened and was filmed by a resident at West Avenue and Sixth Street in Miami. And it shows just how much of a problem exists; “during former Mayor Philip Levine’s tenure, the city installed stormwater pumps capable of sucking streets dry and preventing flooding. But critics — and scientists — say the pumps also deposit dirt, debris, oil runoff, dog excrement, and pesticides into Biscayne Bay.”1 Disgusting. How this is allowed to go on boggles the mind. How […]
[…]treated waterways. Perhaps it’s time we add a 5th season to the four we already have, ariel spraying season. The DEP says that products labels on Vectobac 12AS are available upon request but if you live in the area, I’d learn all you can about the larvacide and any other spraying they plan on doing this summer. And take the necessary […]

RELATED STORY: BIOSLUDGED: EPA allows spraying of highly toxic sewage sludge on food crops, documentary reveals Biosolids as fertilizer is a growing concern, as national news reports on the increasing ties between PFAS and food, all the way from packaging to dairy cows drinking water that is extremely contaminated. Several cities have already stopped applying biosolids to land because of contamination. Russell said due to little national research on PFAS, he and other scientists have a much more difficult job as they develop their own screening methodology, saying: “The awareness of this […]
[…]restrictions on its use. From the article: “Italy’s Ministry of Health has banned the spraying of the main ingredient in RoundUp — glyphosate — in many public places that affect ‘vulnerable groups,’ including courtyards, gardens, roadways, sports fields, recreational areas, playgrounds, green areas outside of school buildings, and additional green spaces. Additionally, pre-harvest desiccation, the process of spraying crops with glyphosate before harvesting, has also been banned, as has the non-agricultural use of glyphosate on soils composed of 80 percent or more of sand — a measure designed to protect groundwater from further agrichemical contamination.” This is SUCH good new.

[…]in state emergency funds for Zika preparedness. MCS, whose services include monitoring and aerial spraying, may still benefit from Florida government funds- we just don’t know because they haven’t responded to requests for comment. We do know that the company is not a registered state vendor. But that is really the tip of this disgusting iceberg. From the article: “Ann Scott’s large stake in MCS is via G. Scott Capital Partners, an investment firm that boasts $291 million of client assets. The firm manages several private equity funds and various “family accounts primarily comprised of trusts and family entities,” according […]
What the Frack? First, we had areal spraying, and some that begins today- over tens of thousands of acres- here in Florida for “mosquitos“. < click to read. And now we find out that a pipeline just got approval and will begin tomorrow!? This new pipeline will run, “through conservation areas, under rivers, near springs, and sinkhole-vulnerable karst geological areas”, reports The Gainesville Sun. More specifically, in north central Florida, the pipeline will go under the Suwannee and Lower Santa Fe Rivers and go through dozens of springsheds, including near Rainbow Springs. It will also travel through wooded conservation lands and karst geology […]
[…]and convulsions. RELATED ARTICLES: This Natural Bug Repellent Works Better Than DEET! Zika Spraying Enriches Chemical Companies While Endangering Public Health It is, then, a refreshing admittance that lemon eucalyptus oil is as effective as this toxin in repelling mosquitoes. “Oil of lemon eucalyptus [active ingredient: p-menthane 3,8-diol (PMD)], a plant- based repellent, is also registered with EPA. In two recent scientific publications, when oil of lemon eucalyptus was tested against mosquitoes found in the US it provided protection similar to repellents with low concentrations of DEET,” according to the article on Mattermore. Finding natural solutions and substitutions for heavy […]
[…]and have long-term effects on learning and behavior.” Another way So, if we aren’t spraying them to death, what are we doing? Integrated pest management. IPM focuses on prevention so that pesticides become a last resort. It’s low-cost, safe, and environmentally friendly. It’s also been proven to slash pest-removal costs by one-third and pest complaints by 90 percent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqjJg6KGOe4 The first thing you have to do is make sure they cannot get into your home: Repair ripped window and door screens. Seal bathroom and kitchen cracks with silicone caulk. Plug openings that are larger than ¼ inch wide. (Mice can easily wriggle […]
[…]sprayed with insecticides to stop the spread of the virus.(We’ve already written about how spraying is common place but to our knowledge, this will now include the US and we aren’t sure the UK has ever sprayed planes coming from the states.) The UK is afraid that the Aedes mosquito, which carries Zika, will spread throughout out the continent and then infect women, thereby giving their unborn children microcephaly, something that STILL has not been proven. Zika has been around for many years and until now has never caused the condition. From the article: “Planes arriving in the UK from […]
[…]Pilots, Flight Attendants, and Passengers. RELATED ARTICLES: Should fliers worry about pesticide spraying on planes? Woman removed by 6 Policemen off her flight for questioning what was being sprayed ON her! This was the initiating force that finally caused the Senator to press forward on one other additional amendment this week. His final addition is called the Cabin Air Safety Act which was created to ensure safe cabin air during an airline flight for both passengers and crew. This addresses a long known about condition which has secretly plagued the airline industry for over 60 years. The air contamination events onboard the aircraft are known […]
[…]noticed pustulating lesions sprouting on the patches of his skin that were exposed while he was spraying Roundup on a school playground, our Plaintiff, the naively trusting Dewayne Johnson, reached out, not to the EPA, but to Monsanto to find out if there was any possible connection between Roundup and his skin rash. Goldstein ignored the call. He testified that under normal circumstances, his “custom and practice… would be to try and contact the patient myself.” He elected however to stonewall Johnson. A year later when Johnson left another message reporting his cancer diagnosis, Goldstein continued to ignore the calls. Goldstein […]
[…]hectares of woodland with VisionMax, a herbicide containing the active ingredient glyphosate. The spraying was intended to choke out hardwoods and provide for the unimpeded growth of coniferous trees. From the article: “’These applications came into our department and we’ve reviewed all the pertinent material and have taken submissions from people that are concerned about the spray and looked into everything,’ Environment Minister Margaret Miller said of the company’s plan for an aerial and ground spray of 27 woodland sites with VisionMax, which contains the compound glyphosate as its active herbicidal ingredient. ‘We know that it (glyphosate) has been approved […]
[…]to skin, eyes, or lungs) is available in many garden supply stores. The vinegar can be applied by spraying full strength onto the leaves of the weeds, being careful to minimize any overspray on garden plants and nearby soil. Repeated applications may be necessary, and the addition of a little liquid dish detergent may improve the effectiveness of this homemade herbicide. Season them like chips: Another common homemade herbicide recipe calls for combining table salt or rock salt with white vinegar (1 cup salt to 1 gallon vinegar), and then spraying this mixture on the foliage of weed plants. Adding […]
[…]use. But they will also amplify it significantly, The specifics are worth considering. First, the spraying of 2,4-D and Dicamba on the newer herbicide-resistant crops will not eliminate the need for Roundup, whose use will not decline (see Figure). PREDICTED HERBICIDE USE TO 2025 (MORTENSEN ET AL 2012) That is because, unlike Roundup, neither 2,4-D nor Dicamba are broad-spectrum herbicides. They will have to be sprayed together with Roundup, or with each other (or all of them together) to kill all weeds. This vital fact has not been widely appreciated. Confirmation comes from the companies themselves. Monsanto is stacking (i.e. […]
