That’s the federal government’s reasoning in a new initiative it is funding. This is a bad idea. Microplastics are polluting our environment and wrecking our health. To combat this pollution, the government is funding research…to turn microplastics into food. Yes, you read that correctly. The Defense Department is funding a project to turn plastic into food for the military. But what starts as a military project could be deployed more widely if it is successful, potentially exposing us more to dangerous chemicals. There are other ways that we can mitigate our exposure to plastics and their dangerous additives. Read more.

New Study Highlights Gulf Between Gene Editing and Conventional Breeding
A new scientific publication in the journal Nature shows that the occurrence of mutations (DNA damage) in plant genomes is not random and that certain areas of the genome are protected from mutations. The study also found that the occurrence and frequency of mutations in populations does not only depend on the evolutionary mechanism of random mutation and natural selection as it has traditionally been understood.

Studies Show Vaccinated People more Likely to Catch COVID than the Unvaccinated
Vaccinated people are more likely than the unvaccinated to catch COVID-19, and particularly the omicron variant, according to new European data. A study released late last month by Danish researchers found that people with two doses of an mRNA COVID vaccine have a higher likelihood of catching omicron than those without a jab. Based on Danish nationwide data, Pfizer’s shot dropped below -50 percent efficacy against the variant after three to five months. The effectiveness of the Moderna jab similarly fell to around -50 percent in the same timeframe. Read more.
Internal Hospital Data Confirm a Huge Increase in Patients with Vaccine Side Effects in 2021
At many hospitals, the number of patients reported to have post-vaccine injuries rose fivefold or more after Covid vaccines were introduced in December 2020, medical records databases show. For example, one database including 100 institutions included more than 8900 reports in 2021, compared to fewer than 2000 in 2019 and 2020. A different system reported an increase from 162 in 2019 to more than 1100 in 2021. Read more.
Time for Bayer/Monsanto to Leave Hawaii After Pleading Guilty to Violations that Harm People and Environment
Monsanto has pleaded guilty to multiple environmental crimes in Hawaiʻi for the second time in less than four years, and the island communities are left asking “when is enough enough?” In the most recent case, Monsanto will plead guilty to 30 environmental crimes in Hawaiʻi, related to pesticide use violations and putting field workers at risk.

What was Monsanto?
Once the lion of US agriculture, Monsanto skulked off the historical stage and into the maw of its long-time rival Bayer, the sprawling German conglomerate, in 2018. The takeover marked a quiet exit for one of the 21st century’s most controversial corporations—one that became embroiled in scandals involving undisclosed grants to and collaboration with prominent university professors *, triggered an annual global “March against Monsanto” in the 2010s, and generated two massive sets of lawsuits regarding its blockbuster herbicides, glyphosate and dicamba.

“Over 1,000 Studies Published in Peer-Reviewed Medical Journals Say the Vaccines are Dangerous” – Steve Kirsch
Here’s a link to over 1,000 studies published in peer reviewed medical journals documenting the risks of the COVID vaccines. Hmmm…. Shouldn’t these be part of informed consent? If you have any blue pillers who you are trying to persuade, ask them if they’ve read any of the studies and have them explain to you why you shouldn’t be concerned. Read more.
