franchise men and marginalization of indigenous people and their homeland. my home is located in a while called white in a place known as kick off on the west side of i 6 years ago i was awarded hawaiian homestead mixed blessing was that i had no idea what i would be surrounded by a few years after moving to that neighborhood the late 1980 s. with a lot of the sugarcane plantations shutting down and with economy overly dependent on tourism policymakers in both hawaii and washington started conversations about making hawaii a center of biotechnology research both to diversify the economy and to take over some of the agricultural economy that was being lost we had the highest number of open air field test sites of anywhere in the nation we've had over $3300.00 permits issued for such testing sense it began in the early ninety's.

the number of fruit in these fields and big spare rooms with. the side why is climate means multiple formulations can be tested in the same field school year it's all about the chemicals and the reason it's all about the chemicals is that the g.m. seed companies are also the chemical companies and they are breeding seeds that then depends totally on the chemicals that they also manufacture.

in genetic engineering unlike what happens in nature where you have sex and you have made ing of organisms in genetic engineering you're doing it in a test tube where you're transferring genes from one organism into another organism or you're editing the genome of that organism using cut and paste techniques let's say you have a tomato and you want to make that tomato resilient or impervious to cold and much more durable you could take the genes of a flounder and transfer it into the genome of the tomato. they're not interested in feeding the world there is dead and feeding their bottom line and the bottom line is selling more and more chemicals disaster they make that's what the shareholders want feeding the world was always a greenwashing of a technology whose aim was to sell more chemicals chemical companies are experimenting in hawaii with these g.m. seeds using many many times allowable limits of pesticides using

pesticides that are banned in europe. because of their potential danger both to the environment and human health. restrict and use pesticides are are those that have been banned for residential use by the federal government because of evidence that they are harmful to human health in 2000 the e.p.a. bancorp pyra fos in many household products like insecticides after research showed it cause nausea in dizziness especially in children later studies found children exposed prenatal lead to the past decide how to increase odds of developmental and attention disorders or pyro thaws is however authorized for use for agricultural

purposes and it's still used massively for that reason basically the federal government has granted syngenta and pioneer the right to test the sides here on this island outside of what the label mandates states including hawaii started to pass some of their own laws to regulate these open air field test sites and as this kind of patchwork regulatory framework came into being they said oh we better go out to the feds and design something that works for us when you look at what's happening on the west side it's mainly made. and working communities of color that are being most impacted and a lot of the lands that these chemical companies operate on are state lands which are lands that were stolen from the overthrown kingdom of hawaii and are contested still and are supposed to be held in trust for the betterment of native hawaiians whether it be doing a sugar era where they would be doing a pineapple arrow we're in the bio pic era. they're exercising this corporate

profit over the welfare of the people right now coyle is ground 0 for 4 of the largest chemical corporations in the world for their experimental scene production. and they're and. they're doing their experiments and. we're live approximately 500 yards away from where to turn because in the dust come from. the chemical and. has a great effect on us it took away our lives. you can't see it in the yard and enjoy your yard that you worked hard for. drift is relevant in real between these chemicals and transport through the environment there's no telling where these pesticides will end up some of the chemicals they

last couple months after life 10 months they don't want to. put out fumes so now you're moving particles putting out a few fumes will travel straight as the wind my neighbors experimented with corn did during gym or experiments of their testing different that's the side cocktails . nobody knows what these chemicals will do the elements they have never been tested no. nobody has ever proven them safe and this is a huge guinea pig experiment and it's clearly a violation of the nurnberg code that says any kind of human experimentation is illegal unless there is informed consent. and that there is a clear legal capacity for people to opt out if they choose not to be experimented on those people know i are living daily under violations of the nuremberg code.

our state agencies are violating the civil rights laws of our country by completely ignoring the fact that their actions are putting at risk predominantly native hawaiian populations they are leasing lands without requiring any kind of protections for the people that live near these operations and if you look at the populations of people that live closest to these fields what you find is that there is a larger predominance of native hawaiian resident near these particular areas .

during the great depression which i'm old enough to remember that it was and most of my family were employed working. there wasn't it was bed you know much worse objectively than today but there was an expectation of the things you're going to get better. there was a real sense of hopefulness there isn't today today's america where shade by the ton principles of concentration of wealth and power. reduce democracy attack solidarity engineer elections manufacture consent and other principles according to no on chomsky one set of rules for the rich opposite. that's what happens when you put her into the hands of a narrow sector of will switch will is dedicated to increasing power for just as

you'd expect one of the most influential intellectuals of our time speaks about the modern civilization of america. will make this manufacture consent to step into public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final merry go round lifts and we don't want. to ignore middle of the room sick. she stressed to make sure that the british and the bill of india will.

stop the show was to you she didn't taste the taste fisheries which quite awful. to which she never happened and i know what you mean and i must get your car moment in there for sure and. want to talk to you shortly before my 3 bonus for should be . dismissed as alerts are still with them to the spirit of earth or does he seem to be arguable that it's a studio actually the 1st person to be drunk or should step up and spit it. spiced she.

thinks. week here. today there are good terrorists and bad that is the bad news in yemen the united states deems to be a threat to look to those who are in syria the cia and the us military were engaged in covert actions really throughout the world. where they were assassinating populist leaders they were backing up the right way military windows funding an army just was there's no anymore because there's always a small people for really good this. profit.

genetic engineering is a discipline and the product is a g.m.o. bt corn is a corn plant that is a g.m.o. now when they genetically engineered this bt corn they had an objective the objective was to create a corn plant that would be resistant to insects so there's 2 ways they could do that one is you take a piece of corn and you throw pesticide on it the other way with genetic engineering is you take corn you extract the genome of a bacterium and you insert it into the genome of that corn and what you've got now is a new corn in this case is called bt corn and every cell of that corn plant creates its own internal insecticide. in the early eighty's monsanto found a bacteria that was stands there herbicide roundup they were let's take d.n.a. from that bacteria put it into corn and eventually soy and cotton plants they said now we've got it you can ariel spray those crops with these toxic herbicides kill the waynes and the crops survive we have not done adequate testing of glyphosate

the issue is the chronic effects the long term for that's important. because people are chronically exposed so much so that irrespective of whether or not it accumulates they carry a load we know it's in the mother's milk whether or not it crosses in neutral to the placenta barrier i don't know but the issue was raised with the e.p.a. . why did she look for the chronic effects of glad to see a constant exposure and they said because it never accumulates 1st of all accumulate means you keep building it up like money in the bank but it doesn't matter if it accumulates or not if you're exposed to it every day or everywhere.

the gro g m o's that they're doing is they're just dumping copious amounts of poisons in chemicals on thousands and thousands of acres of these experimental crops extorts schools sure ames waterways that lead right into the ocean animals are getting sick before getting sick the federal government hardly regulates experimental genetically engineered crops in any meaningful way it essentially allows the companies to grow what they want to grow allowing open air field trials of these very biologically potent crops. the state of hawaii has a hands off attitude towards this industry. we live on him i don't we live on an island that has finite natural resources 10 and natural resources is our drinkable water 40 years ago the

chemical companies that farmed and molly use d.d.t. spring chemicals on through the pineapple feels these fields into the lead got into our water aquifer and tainted our drinkable water if you want to have an experimental plot to test a new chemical should be mandated this be done under controlled circumstances closed systems not. making the world your test tube the world your laboratory. the chemicals that they put under the ground are going to infiltrate through this oils into the water they're going to wash off the rivers and streams and they will accumulate the air and it will io amplify and concentrate in the food chain up the food chain indeed human beings and. they'll cause illness

no and they'll diminish quality of life and the ménage the potential of these children we would wake up and my daughters would sometimes have really bad headaches and prior to moving. into our home we had never experienced things like that so one has to ask the question whether there is a form of environmental research going on in hawaii whether these companies feel they can get away with this because the people have less political power yes it's racism it's clear to be that native hawaiians and others who are socio economically less advantaged or taking the brunt of this industry when you look at the history of the chemical corporations that we're talking about we're talking about corporations that created the nucular bob p.c.p.'s dioxins d.d.t. agent orange and many of the top 12 percent that are going to pollutants that destroy

our world. rachel carson said it in a book silent spring but how it said it in his book agriculture testament that industry that had gotten used to making chemicals the wall they got so addicted to profits that they then retooled and redesign agriculture to make it dependent on these chemical. a neo nicotine oid is a neurotoxin for an insect so when an insect ingest noid it actually disrupts the nervous system of that insect so no it is an insecticide which is used to kill an insect in a recent set of publications which are nearly over 800 papers they've shown that nicotine oids are actually showing up in the pollen of wild flowers which are then being consumed by b s so the son. is fond of the

design of the use of only says. what's different about noids is that they're present all the time this seeds were coated with the new year new it's noise and then the seed was planted the new nicotine oid is water soluble so it goes into the soil the seed sprouts and the seed root tips then take up the neo nicotine oil into the plant so the entire plant all the cells all the tissues all the contained noise and that's how they repel insects and they're in the food because they're systemic pesticides same is true for glyphosate they're not on the surface of the apple or the peach or the

whatever it is they're in the fur you can't wash them off. on the island of kuwait where we have the most information out of all of what you do to activists struggle lawsuits freedom of information requests we know that in 2012 at least 800 tons of restricted use pesticides were bought and probably sprayed on the island we know that pesticides like has application rates probably 10 times the national average. the intensity and frequency of pesticide usage on quake is so high that it led one award winning journalist to call it one of the most toxic agricultural environments and all of american agriculture we know from a lawsuit that pesticides are sprayed by at least one company 250 to 300 days a year 10 to 16 times a day the post decides they're really. we should be very careful.

introducing chemicals that affect the nature of life itself and. the unintended consequences. are already affecting human health in a long term way. and the number one thing is for me as a mom. change. observing those changes i had no idea what. was so i just started to do research on my own and what i found was very disturbing the studies are very clear the county pediatrics the american cancer institute they all say that people that live and work around agricultural areas where there's heavy pesticide use have higher incidence of cancer of. disease.

after 17 years of the doctor here in hawaii i'm completely convinced that we have longstanding chronic effects of the sides i have no doubt in my mind any longer. my daughter is as mad and she's been to. emergency many of. my grandchildren one of them as. respiratory. is developing asthma. yeah i mean asthma respiratory infections they're almost the norm on our side of the island and the more i spoke to people the more i discover that it's just kind of a way of life. in the environment can and is aerosolized it does get into the air that we breathe and when it's taken into the lungs and into the smallest air

exchange units it can move from the l.b. ally into the bloodstream especially a pregnant mother's blood stream and we know corporate reforms can cross the placenta and from there it gets into the baby circulation and then crosses into the brain we have looked at the relationship specifically organophosphates and respiratory problems in children and what we found is that it wasn't just prenatal exposure but it was postnatal exposure of the child that was related to their lung function i started work at home all the. which is the community health clinic the pattern that i saw i was mostly respiratory illness rashes fatigue severe headaches dizziness all sentences you would see what's has the side exposure almost all the patients from the fields would come in with their work clothes on their dirty soiled shirts work boots their dirty pants the frontline of all the

impacts of these pesticides are their farm workers so they're the front line and their children are in the front and they often live very near the fields so whether it be the cancer's whether be the birth defects whether it be children getting asthma having cognitive problems these are can be thought most intensely by those workers. we have met the effects of organophosphates on the brain particularly the organophosphate pesticide called clear pyros the findings in the sample were very striking we found areas of brain in large ones across regions of the brain that are involved in higher order cognitive processing those regions of abnormalities seem to relate very very tightly to cognitive problems especially in measures of i.q. or intelligence of these children so that the bigger the abnormality the lower their i.q. so it suggests

a fairly tight causal link between the exposures and fetal die with abnormalities in brain structure and those abnormalities in structure we think produce after maladies intellectual functioning in these children you can't treat a developmental disability that's structural you can't change that brain function of the brain structure it didn't get to develop from utero age one age to age 3 i'm often asked where i'm seeing the clusters of disease and developmental problems and to be frank i'm seeing them on co i was seeing him in the very places where the chemical companies are doing their year round studies.

well you know that they were kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. i mean they're in this small ball and sniffs it hard pulling ships and it's. not something and. the limo sells to the big fish already 90 percent of the dot and it won't become their. concept 15 scoops 75 tons and they do it several times a day with a big fleet no you get an idea on why the ocean. we have to understand we can not stay still and just. be within this the deal going to 0. i'm doing this because i want them for the future world to future generations to have out and enjoy the ocean how we have.

you know world of big partners through a lot of things and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made history media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bats and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. see. when. comes down to it it is not actually that i think one can say oh well the russians are all bad this certainly is not the case of the west is all good there are absolutely things that the west needs to be doing and what i would like to see

is much much less of the chutney counter-productive rhetorical struggles we see against russia that it's you know it it's become an easy way all getting certain the audiences to applaud you is to come up with cheap russian bashing that helps move. with nor make this manufactured consent instant to the public will. when the ruling classes project themselves. in the frame and clear your own lives and be the one percent. to ignore middle of the room signals. in the real news room. so

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to confront a shouldn't let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. i'm. ready ready ready ready ready sure to stop at the 2 during their grow. i just never know very. good about the idea of bringing children into the world because i didn't feel like things were in very good shape. life was just going to be

a lot of software program. takes things that are to me the. movies on the move something else that. everybody's scared to talk about and certifiable is really dependent on us addressing this issue and if we can even talk about it and we can even have a conversation about it then. we're in trouble ready.

is wrong and school is russia commemorates the victims of a militant siege 15 years ago when i 1000 people were taken hostage we talked to survivors of the deadliest terror attack in the country's modern history as they revisit the site of the massacre. with james show booth tool for your. replies to quit at the. mercy of the person to be broken. in spirit. tens of thousands take to the streets across the u.k. as prime minister porous johnson.
