Part 6:
80,000 chemicals injected into air, land, water 24/7
As this
series focuses on the United States adding 100 million people within 25 years,
you may feel an uneasy disquietude as the facts continue piling up like cow
manure in a Montfort beef feed lot, but no matter how terrible the odors, you’re
make the connections on overpopulation in America. Our sheer numbers of humans force us to move
into dangerous territory as to food production, energy usage, water and
everything else. And again, you may take
action with the web sites and books to educate you further. Our future stands in our hands! We can change course by our choices.
“The
struggle to save the global environment is in one way much more difficult than
the struggle to vanquish Hitler, for this time the war is with ourselves. We
are the enemy, just as we have only ourselves as allies. In a war such as this,
then, what is victory and how will we recognize it?” Al Gore
Former
Vice President Al Gore hosted “An Inconvenient Truth”, which critics blasted,
but he started the ball rolling by creating the discussion, which ensued a
rousing debate. Good for him! Ironically, he too, never mentioned
overpopulation. While his critics scurrilously
attacked him on “Global Warming”, in my world travels, I personally watched the
glaciers melting: they don’t lie! Lester
Brown, author of Plan B, 4.0, at www.earthpolicyinstitute.org,
validates Gore with scientific proof.
If
anything, we may call Global Warming something like Climate Change or, better
yet, Climate Destabilization. When you
wreck the supporting mechanisms of any system, you ultimately destroy its
ability to function.
But
let’s look at another system the human species degrades daily: water, land and
air!
What
dastardly things do we do to our biosphere daily that continue to mount up on
our species and all life on earth?
Answer: 80,000 chemicals injected into the air, land and water 24/7
without pause all over the planet!
Last
night, in Denver, I watched a movie, “Vanishing of the Bees!” by Bee Hive
Productions. It chronicled billions of bees dying from “Colony Collapse
Disorder” by a 40 year bee keeper named David Hackenberg of Lewisberg,
Pennsylvania. This enormous death rate occurs all over the planet where humans
spray chemicals on crops—especially mono-culture crops, i.e., massive fields of
only one crop.
Hackenberg
met with French bee keepers and they forced Bayer Chemical Company, also the
makers of Bayer Aspirin, to stop by court order in France. But here in the USA, he and David Menendez, another
bee keeper, must show scientific proof to stop Bayer from distributing the
deadly chemicals. The French stopped
Bayer via 300,000 people marching in the streets of Paris screaming, “Stop
killing our bees!” Their bees got back
to their healthy plants and pollinating!
BEES FEED THE WORLD;
WITHOUT BEES NOTHING CAN GROW WITHOUT POLLINATION
In
the United States, money trumps science, common sense and reason. Bayer, by the way, pushes millions of
Americans to drop a few of its tabs daily to help stave off heart attacks.
Results: an average of 7,000 Americans die of aspirin poisoning annually and
thousands more suffer bleeding ulcers.
You gotta’ love those pharmaceutical companies! Instead of a healthy low cholesterol diet and
exercise, solve it with a pill! Yippee-ki-yo-ki-yea!
Hackenberg
said, “The future of the bee will define whether or not man can live on this
planet.”
WHERE
DO THOSE 80,000 CHEMICALS GO?
According
to EWG, http://www.foodnews.org/reduce.php,
95.6 percent of Americans store chemicals in their bodies from ingesting them
from eating fruits and vegetables. All
chicken and beef products carry eight to nine chemicals in their bodies that
transfer to your body when you eat them.
CBS
Katie Couric reported, “Twenty years ago, 1 in 20,000 live births in the United
States suffered Autism; today, it’s 1 in 110 births. Scientists don’t know what’s causing it, but
they continue to investigate chemicals in our environment that may be the
factors.”
The
village idiot could tell you the answer: billions of tons of chemicals injected
onto every living thing on this planet since 1945!
Chemical
farming interests claim that 98 percent of fresh fruits and vegetables tested
have no detectable residues. Who’s right?
EWG said, “Consequently,
most fruit and vegetable samples are found to be contaminated: USDA
detected one or more pesticides in 7 of every 10 samples analyzed in 2008, the
most recent year for which data are available.
All told, EWG analyses show that since 2001 USDA
has detected 215 different pesticides in fresh fruits and vegetables sold in
the U.S., including 35 pesticides that each pollute at least 15 types of
produce, such as apples, grapes, strawberries, sweet corn and other children’s
favorites. The bottom line: if you eat
in America, unless you’re on an all-organics diet, you eat pesticides.”
Who stands in the most
danger? Everybody, especially developing
children!
EWG said,
“EPA estimates that 40 percent of children tested by CDC from 1999 to 2002 had
unsafe levels of organophosphate in their bodies above standard margins of
safety (Paynes-Sturges 2009). Researchers from Emory University in Atlanta have
reported that young children are exposed to organophosphates primarily through
their diets. (Lu 2008).”
How can
individuals and families stop from being poisoned? Go organic!
In the
next portion of this series, we’ll talk about chemicalized ground water, rivers
and oceans. We’ll also talk about what
to do about it, and, how adding 100 million Americans within 25 years cannot
help anything!
“Imagine a country which employs the
principles of personal responsibility,
freedom and accountability for future generations. Everything you
do-counts! If you do nothing, that
counts likewise. When you read sobering information, do you want to give up or
fall apart? Or, do you want to engage like Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin,
George and Martha Washington, John and Abigail Adams, Lincoln, Susan B. Anthony, Dr. Martin Luther
King, Oprah, Barbara Jordan, John Muir and other Americans. You represent the Jefferson’s,
Oprah’s and Dr. King’s of the 21st century. Consider it your honor and privilege to
become a part of the solutions. Engage
the present to change the future! Become an agent of the change you wish to
see.” FW

In a five minute astoundingly simple
yet brilliant video, “Immigration, Poverty, and Gum balls”,
Roy Beck, director of www.numbersusa.ORG, graphically illustrates the impact of overpopulation. Take five minutes to see for yourself:
If any of us, no matter what our race,
creed or color might be, refuse to engage our U.S. Congress as we have not for
30 years as to the population/immigration equation-our children will find
themselves living in a terribly degraded America where the American Dream will
be described by the history books as a 'fleeting fantasy' from the era of 1950
to 2010.
These are several of the top
organizations where you can take collective action to change the course of
American history as well as in Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia. Take
