empty pits, so they're just digging in. usually people don't get as far as you can see around as a massive amount of destruction. it's just wrenching so much destruction to and none of this can be fixed, none of this can be repaired. none of it is of any of any good or use to anybody who says radioactive for thousands of years. is there anything you don't get a water sample in? thank might mm yeah . carefully home. i had to help with careful we know there's no animals here so

ah, holding my breath. oh my god. like a get it more. okay. mm. mm. a battle of sorts took center stage today into soto county at issue these 14000 acres of land mosaic wants to mind, phosphate here, commissioner is already shut that down. but as like to supported by hollandsworth explains now today they negotiate to mind or not to mine, a very simple we don't want any further south. after already getting shot down by the federal commission,

last summer was ache is once again talking with county leaders about rezoning property it owns within the county to my thought, faith, neighbors, voice environmental concerns, added mediation today. they're digging up and destroying them. what i said, the plan trees and everything that protect on and fell to the wadded clark don't who live near the peace river also worried a mining fate will be creases, property value. we want to buy a home. it can be awfully the mediation, even drawing in neighbors from surrounding areas. many say it's a topic that's bigger than the photo county. unbeknownst to miss resident, the 3rd that accounting entity, counties in charlotte county, a portion of our drinking water on the surface water component is from the peace river in a day of representative, says the companies environmentally conscious, i hope the mediation will help them reach middle ground floor is very strict regulations and we're very proud of meeting those regulations and we can very good

care of the water for melina back once we home. and we've been collecting so many samples that we didn't do all the field test because takes a little bit of time and, and precision. and we were just jumping into places we necessarily were necessarily allowed to be moved. now we had water from the mine itself. we were able to take a look at the different levels that it has. and what we wanted to do was test various bodies of water to see if they had matching levels, which would show that it was all treated water and came from the same spot. ah, so this is some of the tests water fell on my arm when i was transferred it over. he created guys everything self as this much fussing. so it is a consistency this to be no fussy thing. every single star spot,

we grab everything is pretty consistent. which is weird because these are the same bottles of water, but it almost sold assassin, they're mine, not i my point. every single tell us that base and say that nice is the same. there's no oxygen, water, and then of user bodies, the connect and they're coming out with the exact same result. angel. weird. he only thing in common. they all have ma, thank out. ah, these tests prove to us that the high total phosphate and the low dissolved oxygen means it's almost impossible for fish to live in these waters. so we decided to send the samples into the lab for further testing. and what we found was astonishing. now the e p a has set the standard for $300.00 peak of curies per liter. and what we found was dumped in over 4000. ah, since the municipalities pull water from the peace river,

we decided to test yellow menchie, school, water fountain. and what we found is that it was above the acceptable, safe limit of $300.00 and with the proven link between radon and cancer, it became very obvious. the mosaics ran off was affecting children's health all over the state. and with so many cancer clusters, i couldn't figure out why the state would not even address a cancer cluster is a higher than expected number of the same type of cancer in a specific area over a set time period for a similar group of people. no, the physicians would be willing to speak on camera about the connection between environmental factors and cancer's manufacturers. only one study done in 2010, and when it was given to the state, it was shill. so i found a catch up with cell 1000000000 fight for 0 dot org, who has spent the last few years, tracking cancer clusters and bringing attention to them. succeeding were the state failed. in 2013 my uncle, our family dog,

my brother who was 21 years old, myself and my father were all diagnosed with cancer. my brother and i bought the same exact cancer, which is hodgkin's lymphoma like cancer. our uncle and our dog passed away and my father is still fighting bone cancer. you know, of course everybody goes to the o it's genetic and you know, must run in your family. we have no family history. a cancer or our case was so unique. we were invited to get a genetic testing done, and the genetic testing showed that we had no mutating genes. so what that usually means is that it's environmentally cost course that that started me on my journey. so in 2014, i began this whole just crowd sourcing epr. and from that time frame until about 2018, i just continue to research collect information i collected anything. i could, everybody called me crazy. they said are waters fine. you're just paranoid,

just because your family got cancer, doesn't mean it was caused by something. you know, you always hear those typical things. we're finding that there's homer that have had this is an example. somebody had lymphoma, they moved, sold that home, and the next room honors child had lymphoma. wow. and we're finding that not just with one home, we're finding that in several cases where people have moved from that exact home and it's a totally different family. and they're getting diagnosed with similar cancer's natalie. we decided was do water testing in those areas. let's do environmental testing in those areas. and that's when we found we started finding stuff in the water so we can kind of connect, you know, as a environmental health. it's always about environmental health, and so i created the man because i wanted to give us that vision and to be able to look and see when i started getting up into the 400 mark. and then the $800.00

diagnosed. and one little zip code like one little area, i started to wonder what is this normal when i even called the department of health . and they tried to tell me, yeah, because i said, is it normal for a whole family and neighbors to be getting diagnosed around the same time with similar cancer isn't and they're like, yeah, that's normal people get cancer. i got cancer, you know, so it was just like a really odd response to a concern that we had in we're, we're crowdsourcing this data and we're seeing why isn't, isn't that the state seeing this information wire, you know, what are they doing with our data? because they're required, the doctors are required to change in all of our cancer diagnosis as to the state. so what exactly are they doing with that that i mean for me i think that's really important information to take into consideration for the health and safety of

communities across the entire state of florida. i was really surprised when stell was talking about the department of health reaction. i mean they defined themselves as a department that is there to prevent disease of environmental origin. so i decided to take the water test we had done and go visit the department of health myself. i wanted to see what they thought about the water test results. talk about the geiger counter results. see what test protections are available for citizens and what the state is doing all these cancer diagnosis. and it turns out the department of health is on a park property where mosaic had paid for all their innovations. ah, and although phosphate is natural for bodies too much of it, like the levels we found in the test that we ran, can cause kidney damage and osteoporosis. ah, and finding out more about the wire service. do you guys have anything that tests

for radiation? we haven't had that and i try a fussy person in thank you. appreciate you taking water samples. you found incredible one phosphate because mod, good lot of students here are concerned especially to so you know, with the possibility. ready of the minds premium, they won't, maybe you can help me that the reason that i'm curious a nor can on the documentary about what's happening here in just the mining is have any effect of the whole health public relations. okay. okay, thank you. it's interesting that as soon as i mentioned mining, i went to pure person. oh yes. hi. yes. nice to meet you. thank

you so much. now, our mission, just a quick question for you. okay. mm hm. mm. mm. it became really obvious that the state of music worked together. there's a cancer in the body politic. and the watchdog for the industry has now become on their guard. doug. you developments in a breaking aid on your side investigation of big apology from mosaic to its neighbors, the community and polk county for keeping a contaminated little secret. so why the big case a, we're sorry. well, for failing to timely notify people living near us, new wells planted mulberry of a sinkhole that sucked hundreds of millions of gallons of radioactive water into the aquifer. senior investigative reporter, steve andrews, broke the story last week. he's back to night with an important update that includes that overdue policy at this point today. hey,

this whole is getting bigger, it's widening. it appears as all the walls are eroding cracking, separating it looks as though it's about to collapse a florida department of environmental protection claims. it's all over this, but the guardians of our environment. i've been dead silent about this. all of this from the get go. po county officially became aware of the single september night. it failed to notify the public to did you do enough? as far as notifying our constituents the, the problem is what do you tell them? you know, we had hospital danger coming your way. ah, i mean, you must, you know,

so delegated and as you want to talk to, we stand together. we'll continue to stand together against russia, media in germany. repeat some of the areas that we don this made say no cds as chunky dawson. it's about their ability to influence other nations, france, u. k. and even latin america and other countries in future than maybe knew where to high from cycle to load with members of your household. so please, please, please, please. we're going to continue to fight with justin to russia must not be allowed in germany. i've already out through common lee, but so, so on. so didn't al, td innovation? the 5 and the yes actually ended outside the in office missiles guns until sunday.

oh, became kind of a test bed for medical and then later recreational marijuana and it started with some things so innocent. i was wanting to socialize. everybody does it for why can i and then it just keeps going and going and going. i'm just going to do it was yeah, and then it's, oh i'm just going to try this. one said never do it again because the one wife one actually was in the morning, right, right on inside. okay. and you surround yourself with people who are encouraging you to do it and not to stop or if falling my life was over, jumped office about the balcony and died. mm you he just couldn't stop commissioners, i've spoken with feel it was up to mosaic, to make use of the sink hole and aquifer contamination. public constituents don't

let mosaic, they elect you folks to the county commission and county commissioners as far as i know or of county government didn't let the public know sure. responsibility anna on morally yes. tallahassee. today. d e p. b agency, responsible for guarding our environment. goodness and whisk deputy director, gary clark away fast enough from our mike vasily and we can set something up and we've tried to reach you for 3 or 4 days and you don't return our call. and you are avoiding this again, i just don't understand why you don't want to say we made a mistake. i'd like to know that guys chuckling about 1st of all. mm. and aside from local politicians and mining areas, they spend a lot of lobbying over $480000.00 at ballard partners over $830000.00 on a lobbyist that has one person and they reach out and get people at the state level that can deregulate enriques, that's a great example. after removing $700000000.00 worth of protection money for

florida's waterways. he then guided the entire f t p replacing it with lobbyists and corporate insiders that normally worked on getting the permits for mosaic and other corporations. he trained the permitting process from 44 days down to 2 days, got ordered, his new staff quote, where noncompliance occurs despite your best efforts and education outreach. your 1st consideration should be whether you can bring about a return to compliance without enforcing this approach. started the hands off of the f t p and the creation of compliance assistance letters instead of finding the polluters the d. b actually worked with them in order to ensure business continues is huge. what are the doors mixed up in was a revolving door between hopping green in sam, which is mosaics lawyers and the f d e p. and i actually got to see the relationship between the zig and the state

firsthand. norma kilburn. he called me and asked if she could use one of the water reports that we had got from the mine to give to john coats from the f t p. because mosaic was trying to renew, apparently turns out john coach actually called the lab. when i heard this, i reached out to the lab myself. and they confirm that john coach had contacted them. and they had told john codes that they do not look at the source of the water sample. in order to get a true reading, junko then writes to norma that he has spoken with the program director, who indicated they did not know the sample was collected from surface water. and their test is designed for reporting rate on exclusively from drinking water samples. he said this test is simply not applicable. so once you're on, kurtz was able to discredit the high rate on level of that report. he was then able to give a generic answer back to norma and approve the permit for mosaic after all. now a little bit of the food chain from john codes is adam blaylock. now adam blaylock

used to be a mosaic lawyer. now he's the f t p deputy secretary, and he is in charge of all 5 state water management districts, water supply, planning, water use, permitting, any overseas ecosystem restoration, which in mining is called reclamation. what's reclamation ecology come on a there's a, it is a global leader in the science of reclamation technology. and we're putting it right here at home, innovative environmental technology, natural habitat for native wildlife, and sometimes reviving streams that haven't existed for a century. the science of stewardship, the science of mosaic, when mosaics applying for permits in different counties, they have to submit what's called a reclamation plan. and this is the idea that when they're done mining, they're going to put the land back to use and turn it into nature. so in essence,

in their philosophy, they're only borrowing the land to extract the minerals and then return it as was, and sometimes even better. the reality is far different than that. a lawsuit filed in federal court claims developers and pull county failed to notify thousands of new homeowners that they are living on contaminated land. the lawsuit claims no one including drummond, notified the plaintiff or class members of the significantly elevated cancer risks posed by the presence of rate on gas, gamma radiation or concerns raised by the federal e p. a. it goes on to say in 1975, the p administrator informed the governor of florida that the p a and found elevated levels of radiation in buildings constructed on the land reclaim from phosphate mining areas and recommended that construction of new buildings on phosphate mining lands be discouraged, and in 2022 more communities. soon after being built on reclaim land and

a lot of the tenants getting cancer, we did a community built on old mining land, 2 blocks away from the communities that are suing currently. and you would have no idea how radioactive it is on these lance. how many homes are very sold in the neighborhood? 1010. not only are family homes built on former mines, but still are public parks. this is one of the more popular ones, hardy lakes park. ah sagen ordering community. they go timing, but any kind of community that ma is around. we've had 1st birthdays here in the school and even made it more exciting to have 2nd and 3rd, and 4th. and 5th birthdays here, there really again the get opportunity for me to come there and get together into fair reclamation. kimmy lie and not many people know that it's not many people know that it's reclamation. i think this is really the problem. they take up all the fields, becomes radioactive,

they placed her back on top of it and then turn them into public areas with no notification about the possible side effects of radiation. one of the interesting signs here is you can see that all the trees are at the exact same level. when they reclaim land, they plant the trees the same time. mm hm. now aside from just covering the land with some dirt and planting trees in the same time, they also bring in what's called reject rock from the mines. and this is the rock that's left over when they pull the phosphate out of the ground and separated from the uranium. so once mosaic has this radioactive rock, they can't sell it. they gave it to the counties who then use it, adding it to rows. and i've heard of a famous rock pile here in hardy lakes park that the kids like to plan. okay. oh my god, i did play it. oh gosh.

right up with a we were really surprised to see the white truck following us still. but we want to let them go by before we jumped out with the geiger counters with children saying on this, right? well, we had to know how radioactive it was. and $100.00 is the maximum recommended safe limit for exposure at this level of radiation. these kids are very high probability of getting cancer, maybe not just from one visit, but from repeated exposure. ah,

this is one of the highest level of c p. m. 's. we've seen since we've heard the geiger counter. ah, so we are right behind me are all the rocks that they bring from the mines, and we just tested them and they're reading over for 50 and these children of implying here to high school with my blinking my hopes that we could get them to remove this, this is not natural here that they brought this here from the mine. it's rejected rock that fell off the side while they were getting it loaded or whatever through the process. they didn't want that they loaded here as a dump site. this is not natural, this is not good road, it's on all these roads. all the camp flies in the boat ramp. it's at the playground. it's at the store at 4 corner. so if they get, they can remove this to lower the radiation levels here than 8 out the all

right, but they're just ignoring that they're not doing anything. they came out here to the health department, some expert. now here they see that it's high levels of radiation, yet they don't, they just kind of like, you know, ignore it. mm. ah, let check it out. is the geiger counter? these rocks come from the phosphate mining company and they dump them here. then again, we can this, we're already up 280100 is anything over 100 dangerous, prolonged exposure? how are you doing? that's great if we wanted to bring it down and test this area cuz everyone keeps here. i mean, it wasn't like like long and it's almost a form under, in, in, in wow, yes and here the whole rock. yeah. and the kids playing it right. yeah. yeah,

yeah. you know, we just went to the rock pilot measured over 450. he's always playing. yeah, i always the kids in it. mm. could not believe what i've seen every single place we went and put a geiger counter down or every place. so we took a water sample from had cancer causing levels. the people in florida are actually fighting a few cancers, the 1st being the disease which still remains the number one cause of death in florida. and the 2nd is that mosaic moves like cancer. once it's used up the resource, it has to expand for its own survival. but the 3rd one may be the deadliest of all the cancer of the body politic. for people that were regulating our polluters have now joined them and every day they allow cancers that can be stopped to continue to happen. and as are only defense is eroded away,

we pay the price with our health. and with mosaic in the state, having such a cozy relationship, the only people that step in were the federal e p a. but when the e p a started to be run by a former coal lobbyist, they actually deregulated all water protections, leaving the people in florida to fend for themselves. but this problem is bigger than florida. it's not only nationwide, it's worldwide 24 hours a day. factories are pumping cancer, causing chemicals into local waterways, all with the government's approval and over 1000000000 people a year pay the price by getting a chronic illness. and even though a lot of these polluters are multi nationals, the way they do business can be forced to change by the voice of the citizens and with childhood cancer rates up 30 percent since the 19 seventies and access to clean water disappearing day by day local communities have stood up to these giants

taking their environment back. and joining this world wide movement is easy. it begins when you ask a simple question, what's in my water? mm . ah, ah, ah ah ah

ah ah, with ah christmas. the traditional yuletide on a day. this year, making this traditional with a special christmas guide me christmas tolerance diversity guide. we all know that christmas is a family holiday. that makes oral your parents are properly numbered. i follow the agenda and make us no woman instead of snowman or even better. at this new person

designed for themselves. ah, now gifts. no, don't any better. prepare your children for the brave new world. and remember, diversity is not a t i o is no longer an appropriate cost you. this is appropriation, zoological appropriation offensive to the dia, community. mm. hm, and obviously sandra has to be cancelled. i because he is a white, his gender male who amuses mrs. claus discriminates against children based on behavior. whereas red, which is a communist color, makes children sit on his lap, makes people destroy trees and exploit sales. so sorry kid center is not coming to town anymore. i follow these instructions.

stick to the spirit of christmas. you decide. oh ah, the headlines here with asi, international, civilian death and destruction and afghan whistleblower lift the lid on america's drone program. the formal operator currently in hiding from the taliban, spoke to ortiz a special project on the hood, voices, through amazon operations, we were not told about any civilian dance. nobody told us that we had hit the wrong target, so i'm in hiding alone. underground i live.
