Millions of pounds of herbicides are applied to crops around the nation each year. In one single year, 2006, 96.7 million pounds of glyphosate was sprayed on soybeans alone; this is a 20-fold increase from the 4.9 million pounds in 1994, the year before Monsanto’s Roundup Ready seeds were introduced.
Well, now, biotechnology giant and creator of pesticides and herbicides, Dow AgroSciences is bringing forth brand new GMO soybeans and GMO corn to the market that will ultimately cause more herbicides than ever to be sprayed across the nation. What’s more, the USDA is all over the idea.
2,4-D Herbicide and Super GMO Crops
And perhaps even more startling than the drastic increase in herbicide usage is the fact that Dow AgroSciences’ new genetically modified soy is actually specifically designed to resist an especially toxic herbicide known as 2,4-D, a toxic compound used in the well-known Vitetnam War defoliant Agent Orange. Known to have killed or maimed at least 400,000, and causing an additional 500,000 birth defects according to conservative Viatnamese estimates, Agent Orange is one of the deadliest concoctions on record.
As of now, biotech giant Monsanto still has a tight grasp on the corn and soybean market, with approximately 90 percent of soy and 70 percent of corn engineered to drown in Monsanto’s best-selling herbicide Roundup. However, it seems that their control over this market may soon dwindle at rapid speeds, as Roundup is creating a whole new category of superweeds that are resistant to Roundup and the active ingredient in Roundup - glyphosate. These resistant weeds were expected by experts to cover at least 120 million hectares worldwide by 2010.
The solution until now has been to simply spray more Roundup, but now Dow AgroSciences has come up with a new ‘solution’. Dow is creating new corn and soybean super-crops that are not only resistant to Monsanto’s Roundup, but will also be able to withstand large amounts of the company’s aforementioned ‘agent orange’ herbicide, 2,4-D. This way, farmers will be able to apply both herbicides to their fields, with the super toxic 2,4-D killing what Roundup cannot.
That’s right, instead of turning to sustainable and environmentally-friendly farming practices to combat super ‘mutant’ bugs and mega-weeds, the biotech industry is making even stronger and more dangerous super herbicides and toxic recipes.
What Dow is very happy about (while disregarding public health) is that the USDA has shown interest in deregulating both products, with the most recent signaled approval being in early July for the GE soybeans. In fact, the USDA put out a key a document in the regulatory process for GMOs known as the Plant Pest Risk Assessment. Not surprisingly, the USDA’s assessment of Dow’s soy ended with “highly unlikely to pose a plant pest risk.”
So what will be the outcome of all of this? Millions of farmland acreage to be drenched in more herbicides by the millions of pounds. Unfortunately, the claim to safety for the new GE products doesn't mean much, as both herbicides and GMOs are consistently shown to cause some form of damage, whether that damage be to the environment, human and animal health, or the biosphere as a whole.
Dow’s 2,4-D herbicide, like glyphosate found in Monsanto’s Roundup, is already present in drinking water supplies, so individuals everywhere are already consuming the chemical. But now, exposure to this herbicide is more than likely to exponentially increase, only to cause more complications.

agent orange is 245T not 24D
Corporate greed, the reptilians and the new world order for global depopulation are all key factors for the evil world around us and the extra care needed in life.
There are a huge range of factors that need to be avoided and a large number of countermeasures all so I've made a list to show how complicated this is getting:
Good for health
Clean safe water, get Vitamin D3 test and corrected (25 hydroxy test is needed), organic fruit and veg, gluten free vegan diet, turmeric/curcumin, b17, apricot seeds (a few only a day), cayenne,vitamin C, nuts and seeds (brazil nuts, walnuts, macadamia nuts, almonds), hemp seed, sunflower seeds and oils cold pressed, extra virgin olive oil, coconuts and coconut oil, vitamin B12, folic acid, cinnamon, garlic, asparagus, egg plants, and sodium bicarbonate (bicarbonate of soda), chlorella, coriander leaf (cilantro), spirulina, kale, spinach, exercise regularly, sleep well, reduce stress, fruit and vegetables peeled and washed, steamed or boiled. Trace minerals like chromium and selenium.
So people need to try and avoid the following or if not possible then at least reduce exposure to):
Bad for health
Milk/dairy, wheat/gluten, mercury (see iaomt.org if you have amalgam fillings), aluminium,MSG (under many names), aluminium, fluoride, chlorine, BPA (and bisphenols), PFOA, non stick cookware, endocrine disruptors (synthetic hormones), aspartame, artificial sweeteners, HFCS/glucose fructose syrup, phosphoric acid, hydrogenated fats and oils (transfats).
Food or drinks heated by microwave ovens, acrylamides from burnt/baked foods, alcohol, tobacco, processed meat, nitrites, canola/rapeseed oil, GM/GE foods.
Vaccines, some prescription drugs (like anti depressants), carageean, pesticides (reduce exposure), contamination with petrochemicals residue), benzene.
High voltage power lines (pylons/ high voltage cables ideally at least 200 metres away), near electricity substations, smart meters and radiation risks (though his very difficult from depleted uranium in the atmosphere and radiation from Fukushima) and of course barium, strontium, aluminium and nano engineered biological material from chemtrails responsible for morgellons, sun block and sun tan lotion.
Vitamin supplements may also need care such as ingredients like titanium dioxide, magnesium stearate. Further information available at Dr Mercola's website:

Stop spreading misinfo.
Butter and ALL full fat milk products contain the omegas in perfect proportion, arichidonic acid, short and medium chain fatty acids, and conjugated linoleic acids Also present are selenium, iodine, manganese, zinc, chromium, and lecithin. Butter synthesises vitamin B6 through the friendly intestinal bacteria to lower heart disease-causing homocysteine. Malhotra S L Dr Lancet 1975.
The whey proteins in raw milk boost immunity.
Pateurixation destroys 90% of the phosphotase enzyme need for calcium absorption, destroys the friendly bacteria but not the e-coli, salmonella, nor the listeria.
Go learn before putting pen to paper next time.
The USDA are peddling poison. Not only are the lunatics running the asylum, they have made sanity a crime. Boycott the US elections, out the imbeciles. Occupy Harvard. Fly your flags at half-mast, to expose the establishment as a death machine. Veterans unite ~ resist this tyranny, this madness, this unequivocal mania of power!!!
