when oh, when we started the litigation, this became a real david and goliath back because we had the u. s. whole us attorney's office representing the federal government and the largest law firm in the state of oregon, representing i fay, which is a front group for the chemical manufacturers and for timbers sprayers the far service had been unwilling to do any kind of community health survey. after the spring to see if anybody was in fact being harm,

it was simply saying our chemicals aren't harming anybody, but it wasn't looking to see if they were harmed. and it was very stunning. you know that they would spray an area and within a month that miscarriage rate and what they call spontaneous abortion rate. with sky rock, according to the hospital baden. mm. ah. between my husband and i and our nurse practitioner, we delivered between 10150 children a year seeing a larger number of birth defects than we would've expected. we saw a number of congenital hearts and i think it was 978. i delivered an an ins the phallic 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, allen's appellate child. those odds were just astronomical. but a small practice like ours would have to allens valley children. it made me realize that there was something going on. and the something that i was aware of was broadcast spraying of herbicides. at that point it was mainly to for d over our water supplies because we drink surface water at the coast. ah,

the kids were involved in the whole earth decide battle. they were helping write the news letters and draw the pictures and help with signs. mm hm. there is the poster or late. daphne made, she did that when she was about 11, they were right in the thick of it. mm hm. and we had like 5 minutes to come up with a name from this group. citizens against toxic sprays pads. it wasn't the most imagine as it worked, i guess i and it wasn't until basically katz was formed and started questioning at with, you know, filing a court action. and then it suddenly got some attention. and there was a lot of pushback from their chemical companies and the timber companies. chemicals

are being used as, as a means of achieving environmental goals. really the, the attack is not scientific. it's purely emotional. know, the public does not understand. and we, unfortunately haven't successfully communicated to the public cause yet. take $245.00 p, for example, to 4 or 5 t is about as toxic as aspirin. it the safety factor in the use of 245, p is far greater than the safety factors. use of aspirin. does the public understand that? one saturday morning, when my husband was making rounds at the hospital, 2 fellows in suits showed up at my front door and said they wanted to talk about the urban sides. and i said that was fine. my 2 children were running around

at the very happily playing they didn't really say where they were from i said, come on in, have a cup of coffee because i had had a number of reporters and other people show up. and when then when they said, you know, at all times where your children are, i realized that i didn't i and i said it was time to in the interview because it was clearly a threat against me and my children die. and it worked. i'm done. and then they had dark tinted windows on both sides, suddenly showed up outside of carol. and steve's house, who were the leaders of the citizens against starts, which pray, movement. see,

the car was parked here, but they were walking up here with all their deer. obviously thinking i wasn't home . he didn't really explain why they were here. it was when i realize the other guy was sneaking up there and it, and talking to the kids, then i got kind of angry. he was asking them all about what kinds of deformed critters we had in the for user. because we did, we saved a bunch of them hoping to get them analyzed, you know, to see what was in them. but the rear door flew open as it drove away and they could see that there were large video cameras in there. the phone company itself, their employees told us that our phones were being tapped. it was an obvious attempt to try to intimidate the folks who were bringing this litigation to try to reduce herbicide ariel sprang. well, we won a temporary injunction. what the

judge in the catch case, thanks to all those scientists and studies that we were able to compile ruled was that hey, you've got to include in your environmental impact statement, the effects of these chemicals in vietnam. and that was a blow to the fire service because by then there were some really documented impacts in vietnam. we strayed 20000000 gallons of that stuff over there. their watersheds are contaminated, their rice feels are contaminated, their wells are contaminated depending on who you wanna leave 450-0000 adults contaminated with it and half a 1000000 children. ah

. oh, oh yeah. i don't ladies at all for yeah, yeah, i see on the victim doki get immediate of a demo or yes ma'am. thank you for confir slacking for take a b with there were negative feelings toward what we were doing. the propaganda put out by the chemical companies in the timber companies that number one, there's nothing wrong with the sprays. and number 2,

these people are just the lunatic fringe. they convince the loggers or some of them anyway, that they were gonna all be out of work as if they couldn't use the herb besides who was on fire. when carol came up, the driveway house was totally in flame. patrick said he stopped her. that she grabbed a knife off his belt and started running up the hill. and he just grabbed her and held her anna, he felt sure that carol was going to try to take her own life that night. sh sanstrom's children were, were gone. and

we all crumble, we all just couldn't believe it. the fire fighters said it was our son name. i don't, and it's hard to talk about it. i just can't really they had done the absolute worst thing anybody could do to me and they couldn't do any more and we go animals were still here. i think that's what kept me going in. you know, it was what was left of my kids was what they love to, you know? oh boy,

here you go. okay. the big 130 years old. he's very intuitive. like if you're really upset about something he will come in just like lean against you and be comforting rudy. duty he he wants to help you come on, feel better. i don't know. i rely on him. this was the garage. there was no floor here. and so we put a floor in, i just was living in this in this room and i still am and away it was. and in honor of my kids, i had to keep going. they fought this fight too. it wasn't just me. and i only thing was they keep going for their sake,

like the me newly released court documents indicate that the companies which manufactured age and already knew as far back as the 1960 s, that one of its ingredients known as 245 t contain the toxic contaminant dioxide ah, ah, my father said he could hold me in his hand like this. i was so small. i missing my right leg below the knee. my fingers and i'm missing my big toe and my other toes

are were webbed. but yeah, yeah, my story is not very much unlike many, many children in vietnam and other american children as well. so we share the same type of birth effects. not both of them. mom would need national. you know, i don't get any benefits from the government. they deny that the children of male vietnam veterans are affected. so i'm hoping with your law suit, the things will change that it'll be, it'll stick this time. ah, no, i the case die.

it's frustrating. ah, these companies have been able to avoid accountability for what they've done. i think your case is incredibly important as sort of the last opportunity that we may have to hold these, these, these companies accountable for the wrong doing that. they knew they were engaged in when they made this point to this product. the national forest here is no longer sprayed and the reason is a series of lawsuits that began with the caps lawsuit. but i want all those other people how, where people write down the road that i have private timberland around them that's getting sprayed.

they're going to keep these chemicals on the market, no matter what the only hope is for the community rights movement to

keep insisting that we have the right to protect all of our communities from being poisoned and maybe it's a pipe dream. but if these corporations have human rights according to the supreme court, while damn it, they should be subject to capital punishment just like an individual would be only delicately m a named jessica was i? yes, good at this old yard, said the posse dual and miss only l. lump eyes on mars the lag you are seeing a dumb or gaff on blue survey to try. i said, my gosh, if you did the yeah. in class exists a gum. am the casa de la deal seen the more song. so keep the med,

[000:00:00;00] i me,

ah, ah, me. we call ourselves the document junkies. documents accumulated over 40 years of freedom of information actions that i did, including several lawsuits to try to get documents out of the p a. p c. d law suits the agent orange law suits trying to stop the government spraying out here. then i had a bunch of stuff from dow chemical that they hoped i'd never get. i couldn't afford to store them anywhere. and that's when peter ransack birds, a canadian journalist drummed out some funding to get them all scanned. that was

how the poison paper said, well, we must have scam close to $200000.00 pages. he could upload them as they were scanned, 10 hours a day, non. so ha, a lot of the documents involved the fraudulent testing of chemical products. so lawyers, now in bringing these lawsuits are being able to find that information and use it. i hope they'll make trouble. i mean that's the whole goal is to make them available to anybody that needs them. ah, that the seat of human. so either tomorrow, i don't know if it's time on this as soon as they populate. oh,

a way to check whether this information is real or not. you don't have any way to verify, identify who is adding the story, their motivation. these are multi national corporations that are interested in profit, anticipate the consequences. the media was complicit in perpetuating this myth. i'm going to tell you that i think that many people died because of the lifting pace, deconstruct the media on out to sarah. ah, the u. n.
