3-3:30 The Hidden Danger of Glyphosate - Part One of TWO, Interview with Professor Don Huber
By MariaMay 21, 2019 Newest Podcasts
Glyphosate is the active ingredient in the herbicide Roundup, patented by Monsanto in 1974. It is now the world's most widely used weed killer. About 100 million pounds are applied to U.S. farms and lawns every year, according to the EPA. Farmers sprayed enough of the chemical to cover every acre of cropland in the entire world with nearly a half-pound of Roundup, according to a 2016 study published in the Journal "Environmental Sciences Europe".
Roundup is used not only in industrial agriculture but on vineyards, golf courses, public parks and in schools, in road maintenance and by back yard gardeners. Curiously the more modest uses in schools and gardens have recently come to national attention.
In May 2019 a jury in Oakland, Calif., ordered Monsanto to pay a husband and wife more than $2 billion in damages after finding that its Roundup weed killer caused their cancer. This is the third jury to conclude that Monsanto failed to warn consumers of its flagship product's dangers. The juries were presented evidence that Glyphosate caused the breakdown of their immune systems and led to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Thousands of additional lawsuits against Monsanto, which the Bayer corporation acquired for $66 billion in 2018, are queued up in state and federal courts.
Monsanto's claim that Roundup was safe for human beings is now being challenged and the question raised - who and what else is impacted by glyphosate and the other ingredients in Roundup.
Don Huber is Professor emeritus at Purdue University. He studied Roundup and later the associated Roundup ready crops and the risks to farm animals begin fed roundup ready soy, corn and alfalfa beginning in 1974. He is the scientist who raised the safety issue of glyphosate in 2011 with the US Secretary of agriculture and made headlines all over the world. Hubers' warning was ignored by the Obama administration.
Don Huber says that the herbicide Glyphosate kills by giving plants a heightened form of AIDS. Glyphosate affects bacteria by killing some that are essential to the plant and to humans and animals that consume them; while at the same time strengthening pathogens that are harming plants and soil.
Don Huber was interviewed via a somewhat scratchy Skype connection by Uwe Alschner, publisher of the Vitalstoff Blog that focussed on nutrition in the European Union on June 2, 2018. From TUC Radio, 1 (707) 463-2654, www.tucradio.org

12-1 Gary Null "Progressive Commentary Hour" June 11
Progressive Commentary Hour - Wikipedia's Culture of Institutional Bias
Wikipedia's Culture of Institutional Bias
by Richard Gale and Gary Null
Weekly, millions of people Google their concerns about their health and a large variety of illnesses, such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, dementia, etc. They expect, with speed and accuracy, to find the current scientifically based and clinically proven information. The majority of people begin to approach a personal health crisis by turning exclusively to established medical, drug-based protocols. However, these treatments do not always relieve symptoms nor reverse disease. Certainly they do not prevent it.
Increasingly people are seeking second and third opinions. More often than not Google will take a person immediately to Wikipedia. There is an assumption and a reasonable expectation that the information we find on Wikipedia is 1) accurate, 2) soundly researched and referenced from high quality and reliable resources, 3) written by credentialed writers and editors with expertise in the subject, 4) unbiased, and finally 5) object and balanced. Therefore it is at minimal assumed that at least the content on Wikipedia is scientifically validated and would appear on the National Institutes of Health PubMed database for medical information and research. Whether it is pharmaceutical, surgical or radiological approach, or perhaps a more natural medical modality such as lifestyle change, nutrition, medical botanicals, Chiropractic and Chinese Medicine, it is expected the information will be accurately provided and described. Then using our freedom of choice and informed consent, we can select the medical route that we believe would be most safe and effective.
Unfortunately, our two year investigation into Wikipedia's treatment of health issues reveals exactly the opposite. In fact, there are many individuals with outstanding credentials who are terrified of having their biographies appear on the open-source encyclopedia. Once a person's biography is added they will never have control over its content. Often he or she will be faced with slander, character assassination and denigration about their careers and life's work. All efforts by attorneys and experts in their field will not be able to change a single syllable on a Wikipedia page. Their biographies are frozen as if confined in a Russian gulag for a political crime. They will seek redress by reaching out to the media; but the media too is fully compromised. They may seek open hearings on Wikipedia's back side to expose unfair behavior and misinformation but will be met either by deafening silence or censorship. They may even seek redress from the IRS or state's attorney generals for Wikipedia's gross serial violations of its non-profit status. Consequently, it becomes political and assumingly nothing will happen to correct the errors.
As a result, a relatively small group of uncredentialed, hate-filled individuals commonly known as Skeptics, empowered by Wikipedia's co-founder Jimmy Wales, have been using the encyclopedia as a social media platform to condemn all non-conventional and alternative medical therapies and its practitioners, even those who seek to benefit from these therapies.
There are hundreds of thousands of clinical trials, research papers and review analyses confirming the authenticity and effectiveness of these natural medical systems. However, for the Skeptics who control and edit these Wikipedia pages, knowing full well that they have Jimmy Wales' unerring support, the truth is irrelevant. Today Wikipedia succeeds the worst of McCarthyism's witch hunts in the 1950s where there is no proper channel for redress. Even attorneys representing the Silicon Valley titans, Wikipedia among them, have gamed the system.
Should we ask the media - 20-20, Nightline, 60 Minutes, the New York Times and all the other leading newspapers and magazines - why they fail to protect the American and global public from misinformation on a social platform and indulge in a shameful complicity to permit Wikipedia's deception to continue without proper review and public exposure? Yet none have the guts to undertake an objective investigation to uncover the truth.
Below is a detailed review about what we have uncovered. For deeper investigations about how Wikipedia is on all accounts an enemy of public health, we invite readers to read more thorough articles at http://prn.fm/garys-wiki-articles/

12-1 Dave Emory, "For the Record #1069 - "Socialists for Trump and Hitler (The Assistance" Part 9, 'Walkin' the Snake in India'
In the conclusion to FTR #1068, we ruminated about the possibility of a post-World War II "Boseian" or "Boseist" underground in India. We also speculated about the possibility of a Serpent's Walk scenario, in which revisionist historical claims about Subhas Chandra Bose being the real liberator of India-not Mahatma Gandhi, would be a point of entry for the re-branding of fascism as "anti-imperialist" or "anti-colonialist." (An article in the periodical of the Liberty Lobby's Holocaust revisionist Institute of Historical Review makes that claim.)
In Serpent's Walk, the Nazi SS go underground, buy into the opinion-forming media and, after a series of terrorist incidents involving WMD's devastate the U.S., martial law is declared and the SS descendants take over. The Third Reich and the Axis go down in history as the "good guys."
In this program, we highlight the ongoing, operational legacy of Subhas Chandra Bose, its links to contemporary India and Germany, its presence in the German commercial landscape dominated by the remarkable and deadly Bormann capital network, and the networking between this Boseian underground and Japanese elements.

1-2 Chuck Collins, "Inequality: The New Gilded Age"
Program #COLC004. Recorded in Eugene, OR on April 17, 2019.
A conversation between Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald reportedly went like this: Fitzgerald says, "The rich are different from you and me." To which Hemingway responded, "Yes, they have more money." You bet they do. And now more than ever. The old Gilded Age pales in comparison to the current one. The wealthy of the late 19th century: Rockefeller, Vanderbilt and Mellon look impoverished in relation to the current crop of Bezos, Gates and Buffet. Inequality is at record levels. How has it happened? The attack on unions has hurt workers. CEO pay has gone through the roof. There have been massive tax cuts for the haves while the have-nots see their social safety net eroded. The enormous excesses of the first Gilded Age led to a populist backlash and the Progressive Era. Could we see a repeat of that today?
Chuck Collins is director of the Program on Inequality and the Common Good at the Institute for Policy Studies. He is author of Born on Third Base, 99 to 1 and Is Inequality in America Irreversible?
