chemicals were being used here in a still going on with agent orange was a tremendously destructive omen of a tremendously destructive war. in its own unique way, agent orange was the most destructive instance of chemical warfare in modern history. when i was still 5 years old or something, i read everything. it was still during the war and i read something about all the birds being killed like oil spills. from ships being blown out and that's what i

worried about during the war was all those birds come in like that. he helped me and i started reading letters. i'm not sure who i sent them to or wanting some. what did take care of those birds, please? maybe that was the beginning of my active fisma. but noon we moved here and 74. the kids were just part of this landscape and they were down along the river. they knew everything that lived down there. my kids loved it, i mean they were part of it. there were beavers and otters in the river then too, of course, all the fish and harrison i sprays. and so they were part of that. they loved it was nothing to worry about. mm

hm . clear cutting is one of the most insane things you could ever do. it's like strip mining a living organism which a forest is they weren't required to replant. and most of those clear cuts developed into huge brush fields then all of a sudden they're faced with this law that says you can't clear that unless you replant within 3 years. so then they had to clear all the brush on these old clear cuts. so they could replant them and just all coincided with the end of the use of agent orange in vietnam,

lou michael newton from oregon state university was getting surplus barrels of agent orange that the air force couldn't use anymore and vietnam and was praising the use of these things and how they were going to transform forestry forever. when they started to, to speak blanket these huge, clear cut with a lot of a journal orange and drift. some we could smell it, and her within a few days our garden was dead. the kids were all sick again, and the dog got so sick he died.

a fire of the fat lazy stapleton then melody i thought of the stage of history. i sat on a 1st meeting between president eisenhower. i'm senator kennedy's has the like. when eisenhower passed over the national security apparatus to john kennedy. how scared we had to be that communism was on the march. and we had to stop it wherever it was. kennedy loved the idea that american ingenuity, not just big, scary bombs, but different, more surgical kinds of technologies could be used to defeat these insurgencies and agent orange. or besides, in general, was part of that strategic view. the

here at the dollar chemical company in midland michigan revolutionary chemical killers are being produced to help rid us of these costly piss. one of the newest and most versatile weapons and dollars arsenal of chemical warfare is to for dial. we'd killer to 4. d is a growth regulator type of we'd kill it. the action is the logical, appearing to upset the plants, growth processes and causing gradually, but certain death. ah. the saigon government in 1900. 61 was a vociferous proponents of the use of, or besides, in vietnam, in the, the government was fighting

a communist insurgency in the south. that was supplied by and they felt that the insurgency was a major threat to their existence. ah ah this is in october 1961 thanks. haven't really gotten started yet. these are telexes. it's a message from the ambassador noting, but basically just saying present damn is begging people to spray crops. and there's so much doubt it confusion washington about whether to do this or not.

ah operation ranch and had multiple components to with a food denial component. but the most notorious was the use of agent orange to take away the forest cover. take away the insurgence capability to hide and conduct gorilla ambush operations. but once the overall war escalated, the deflation program just sort of followed rather mindlessly right behind it. spring, millions of gallons of highly concentrated herbicides indiscriminately over vast

areas of forest. many times over is chemical warfare. it was highly destructive and it was massive. it was a weapon of mass destruction. ah frank sand was c name for the herbicide to fully program run by the air and i was sent over to vietnam and may of 1971 to do the final historical right up of the ranch and program i had made friends with the young army lieutenant over there and he changed me one

afternoon and said we have received orders from headquarter versus 1971. we are to dump the computer and erase it not downloaded and shipped to wash. gov t said he said if you want any of that information for your report, you gonna have to come with me tonight and move over to my fi headquarters. well, get you into my office and we'll print them out. and he turned on the machine and we printed out a fact like that. my report indicated that there were some real problems developing from people exposed to asian, orange. ah, i finished my report and it was immediately classified secret. and the government kept it locked up. or 35 years and denied didn't even exist. it

the federal government basically federalized all the chemical companies to do nothing but produce a generic in other chemicals for the war to vietnam. and they knew that the more they produce, the more money they would make. so they, in order to deliver as much as they could as quickly as they could. they violated then existing industry standards for the production of herbicides by using a process that was much shorter at higher temperatures. that was responsible for the presence of the, of jackson in the ultimate chemical substances that were created. and they knew that it posed risks to individuals. they knew that opposed to risk to the land. they knew that it was contained to poison. and they knew that that the effects to be devastating

while i was preparing my report, i came across your documents that indicated confirmed that we authorized production of the asian, ours, which is a mixture 24250524245, g with the higher concentration of di auction as the contaminant at your contaminant in the 245 t compact. we knew di auction is an extremely potent carcinogenic mutagenic meaning had causes chromosomes to mutate to ratty, janet, affecting the fetus of a woman. very potent compound national hero standards estimate and the half life for

a dioxide molecule. 2000000000 years. that's why ha, regards it as equivalent to clue tony. both in its toxicity and in its longevity, how long it can persist. so it doesn't go away. it goes away politically. this is the 1st time that the scientists have ever created a molecule, this toxic and, and that they know that even, you know, just one to 2 parts per trillion can cause birth defects, mutations, cancer, ah, seeing a larger number of defects than we would have expected we saw

a number of congenital hearts and i think it was 1978. i delivered an anan, sevalla child. that's a child that doesn't have basically the normal brain. in my lifetime of delivering babies, i would not expect ever to see one. and about a year later, we delivered a 2nd and then select child. those odds were just astronomical that a small practice like ours would have to allen's family children. it made me realize that there was something going on ah, tens of thousands of children were born into or lived under the icicle regime in iraq and syria. now many are in camps either orphans all with
