ah, join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. oh, became a test bed for medical, and then later recreational marijuana and it started with something so innocent. i was wanting to socialize. everybody does it? so i cannot. 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 once and then never do it again because they want my phone was on and i'm right on inside. okay. and you surround yourself with people who are encouraging you to do it and you not to stop. oh, it's all my life was over, jumped office at all balcony and died. he knew he just couldn't stop.

also happening tonight. the fight continues in manatee county. jose, a company now wants to expand their mining operations, but many of their neighbors tell abc, actually news reporter adam weiner. they fear another environmental mess. it's not only just my organic harm, it's our natural resources. it's our very precious land and water dang was among the doesn't. 2 spoke out against mosaic at the 2nd full day of hearings held by manatee county commissioners. deciding whether to change the zoning or the property called wingate east to allow mosaic to mine phosphate one drive through west central. ready rural florida, and it is clear that mosaic is turning our region into a banana republic. mm. anything that's coming from there, from mazda beach into here, and come through all these properties right here. garrett's and organic farmer. and he just lost you sta organic status,

because mosaic was able to rezone 16000 acres in their own a mine, and that actually borders these wetlands that we're looking at. and the wetlands border garrett's farm. the u. s. government says that any a radiation exposure is dangerous to human health, whereas florida has made slightly different rules so that they can accommodate phosphate mining and agriculture. so garrett is decided to take them to court. you know this, i mean, it must be extremely stressful. this process all yeah. mining is stressful. fast they, my freshman, what does that community, what does your household, i mean my wife and i, we've had a lot of issues. you know, she, she feels like he shouldn't try to take on a global phosphate giant. but you know, some things were standing for, i mean being infringed on my way of life. and i hate to me, this is more of a constitutional mm was 8 matchers themselves and then give

them more details of those results to the county and an account. it says, okay, you met the criteria, those wells were placed in a concentration area where they violated their own work in one interesting aspect of music is their masters of disguise. so here's just a basic looking open fence. and as we drive through, it looks like there's nothing here. and what they do is they build these little teeny burns to keep the minds kind of out of public eye. so when you're driving by, you really have no idea these things were here. but then you just go up a teeny berm and opens up the destruction. when asked the guy is why there was no warning signs about the radioactivity or no trespassing signs. they said that all the locals know just how bad and how dangerous the air is. so nobody would dare to ever even drive involuntarily. i, this is a tower that a crew was at hand. i'm a former tower technician, and i was,

they were working on the carrier up above there. and i, i totally get out of here, man, this place radioactive, it out. and they were out here for a week working on a project up there. and every day jamie shut down them. now i just says, you know, this is a dangerous thing out here, but none of them there are no warning signs. when we're out here on property, they just say we can't trespass there is, there is a radioactivity in the area, nothing, nothing. this is one of the things that we're advocating for. so they, they just try to, they just try to sort of keep it a secret radiation. so that way it's not even the topic they have to fight for right, right friday. like to talk about it. and i, you know, we like it, we like to talk with

where exactly are we looking at here is this phosphate extraction that took place in april by july they were out here. okay, to see how much acreage they check out of here. over here is is where. busy they bring out the slurry and they hit it with the water cannons. and that's the result of that buy a product right there that they didn't take out of here. that is the actual product, right? they did their mining exists. so this is a ban, like i mean they just stop production on it. go out, they're done another and another day, right over here. now they're just, they're, they're about half mile up. yeah. in that direction where your camera space right

in . so i'm back at home base today we spent a lot of day inside of the right around the mines and i started to get really sick and you can feel a swelling and a pain in that. right. that here, which i believe of lymph nodes. so that's the 1st thing and anyhow it sets in, within maybe being around that dust in their pollution within like 10 minutes, 15 minutes. i also have a headache and i started to give this a slight pain in my side. the longer that we were in those mines, so not really feeling well tonight. so the end result of phosphate process is after we've cleaned out and separated the phosphate from the left over uranium and other radioactive cancer causing toxic materials. they

released back into the water. they have some material that the e p a says they're not even allowed to get rid of. so what do they do? instead, they build these giant mountains that are called photo chips. them stacks. and this water is some of the most toxic out there. but zoom in just a little bit here. this preface dash to the bottom right of your screen wasn't here yesterday. so it looks like part of the wall is either collapsing or possibly this thing is expanding a little bit. second point recovering that 200. 15000000 gallons of contaminated water from the aquifer is a process that will take years. we've gone from post on our facebook page from residence, from claim they live nearby and they're concerned about the quality of their, their water. what can you tell them? i can sure everyone that the water quality, you know, even on our property is still very clean. just imagine florida lakisha nash bond

looks like the little holes are not a lamb stone bay, that water seething sleeping rattle down into a route on through ronald blue saying it's that lamps dome. each said a quickly. so is it a cave layer? probably more worst roll processes, the jukes insurance, because the suits there was more mastery of order for students own more. mobile. jackson still works very good. to be honest, but still in the world. no talk word or you shouldn't, shouldn't all those a newspaper is worse for each michigan. it's cold before call for school or warning.

i'm sure resources not to go for total for angela. contains full foreclosure for all for going home through june, to vote to you over and over the world. people are already a i'm in polk county, florida, where the famous thing call happened. meeting up with luella phillips, who started to notice her water changing colors and smell weird after the famous thing call happened. so we're meeting up at the mulberry phosphate museum or, ah,

do you have a miniature indiana jones in your family? if so, it's journey through the path when you visit them all very fast, they need a beat. this is a big point. larry, on things here for kids, a lot of things for kids. they have like, a christmas time. they have santa claus here and you go cocoa thing. know have arts and crafts here is probably one of the ready most radioactive places in mulberry because you have that you have the mosaic drag line right here. well the bucket. yes. renews. and it didn't always say mosaic on it, it has in the past years, this right here is where they want the kids to, you know, and look for sharks. they say this is, this is average like level at the same sulfate and all that stuff ph balance is higher than anywhere else in the state. florida is average for phosphate mining area doesn't mean it safe. it doesn't mean it's good. it just means because of this area, we have high ratings,

and that's how they explain our water test and stuff like that. you know, you guys have it consistently getting the same numbers. and yet people mosaic, and authorities are saying, well, the guy, your counters must be wrong or they're being used incorrectly. what do you say about that? i mean, i saying they're full and it doesn't take a genius to run a geiger counter. it doesn't take a genius to know to know what's going on. it doesn't take a genius to be able to chase a metal. can you taste a metal on your mouth right now? oh yeah. on the chip here. top. like i've been chewing aluminum. well, you'll probably get a headache later in viet, we're living in this every day as higher radiation treatment. yeah, our kids come here because of our health surveys. we found out people who just live within a certain radius and it gets back to stuff there. they're getting sick, their children are getting sick back then they didn't notice their children getting sick because nobody knew they had cancer till we were over. a large percentage of the children in his area have autism. there's a, there's birth defects, there's, there's miscarriages. heart disease,

high blood pressure that make one in this area kidney figures are big when long cancer, huge. i've had lots of my breast, i've had to biopsies before i was 40, and i've had sister, it turned into 2 words on my ovaries. i had 2 boyfriends to one, died from who returned 44 lung cancer in brain cancer and throw kit, he suffocated did it. and then i had somebody else. i was close to and he would have been 72 when he died. he died in 3rd cancer, so you don't have to necessarily work at the mines. you have to live around him, or drinking water, or near with his soil. they generate hazardous waste radioactive waste. but

everything they dump, falls into the ground and migrates, has to go somewhere. and in migrates tune, example, lake okeechobee, it goes to the atlantic ocean and it goes to the gulf of mexico. now the red tide, karen, neo brothers, that's some one that's out in the ocean. knees, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and phosphorus is where the phosphorus is. flows through his bed is cracked in the ground like this and up wells. now he's cracks, like a bunch of roads and highways under the ground. you have fractures, a horizontal vertical in angles there. so it was produced so that a water takes, goes in and says, i think i'll go down here and it goes over here, but ultimately got to the ocean with

one of the worst ever mass shootings in america was in las vegas in 2017. the tragedy closed a little of the real las vegas where many se elected officials are controlled by casino owners. the dank, has shooting revealed, wet, vialva and pd really is. and now it's part of the stand machine. most of the american public barely remembers that it happens, that just shows you the power of money and las vegas. the powerful showed that true colors when the pandemic hit the most contagious contagion that we've seen in decades. and then you have a mayor who doesn't care. so here's care on goodman, offering the lives of the vegas resinous. to be the control group. to the shiny facades conceal a deep indifference to the people. mice could have been saved if they were to take an action. absolutely keep the registering and keep the slot machines. dinging vegas is a money machine, is a huge cash register that is ran by people who don't care about people's lives

being lost. ah, laura means everything to me. i've been on the water since i was a child. i live here in matlab. shay, florida. where are you? choir? life? dream. vanita. small mom and pop motel. my captain, i do what are tours? so water quality is my sustainability. so in 2018, our ground 04 red tide, devastation, millions of tons of dead fish. see live dolphins, manatees marching up on our beaches all summer long. devastating our mar mcnair economy. as those phosphorus products to make their way into the waterway and feed

the site, the bacteria feed the red tide. it leads to an ecological disaster of millions of tons of fish, kills this year over $200.00 manatees over $125.00 dolphins over $400.00 sea turtles and tons of miscellaneous fish that were killed this year. behind that was economic meltdown. fort myers beach was a ghost town. people are lining up at food banks. the city of sanibel was losing $16000000.00 a day. people are not coming here. businesses are closing. people have actually committed suicide because of their business losses related to this. that phosphorus potentially even from the 2016 toxic spill into our sink hole in central florida, where 260000000 gallons flushed into an awful her. those aquifers eventually make their way into our, our coastal waters. freighting basically gasoline on

a fire to feed the red tide as it approaches our coast. red ties naturally occurring, but the mass of blooms that we have a little more unnatural, and they're being fed by the unification of our waterways through phosphate nitrogen. hello everyone, my colleagues that they hillsboro county board of county commissioners and i are proud to walk out of the mosaic company's headquarters to our community, missouri as a fortune 500 company and one of the world's leading producers and marketers, i've concentrated phosphate and pot. ashcroft nutrients, this is our 1st fortune 500 recruitment when in march, an important milestone and our rise as a global business destination. hillsboro county has experienced tremendous growth and our financial professional services i. t and manufacturing sector about our cost paid industry, which dates back to the $18.00 eighty's continues to thrive,

the export of phosphate products and relate a phosphate shipments played a key role in port tampa bay's growth over the last 100 years. so thank you, mazda, i'm just mad enough, adam, did i just go to bottom to the bay? i dive in thinking by having to put my body down here in a swap so that if anything happens after were gone and mosaic wanted this property, they can't do they own that property over to the side here and the property here, but they can't get a drag line on it because it be too close to my house. mm mm. i watch a whole bunch more more. they said, oh, they say i don't care about it, but they spent what 1st 10 years or 12 years that we lived on the property of one of their buyers, pounded us, trying to get us to sale. but we love that this was our home and really we didn't

understand what, what was going to happen. you know, we didn't understand about the exposure, my grandkids and my children. i have half a thyroid now. and my daughter has how she motos. my older son has parkinson's. my husband has leukemia. my grand daughter went to sleep at 13 and woke up the next morning. her eyelashes were owner says how we found that her thyroid storm moore was one the right there. as long as she lives on the property mosaic, not allowed to touch it with the problems the dust she surrounded on all 4 sides by mine which have off gibb, sometimes men travels airborne to all the surrounding areas for miles and miles, which gives off radar and which is undetectable when breathing is the 2nd leading cause of lung cancer in the united states. killing over 20000 people. eager say it stay in the house a lot because he with his own condition, he couldn't go outside or have we own 50 acres and 50 leased and he could not glass

at our house because we were held hostage to the death. ah all i was starting to feel his heart and nobody from missouri called me back and none of the doctors i reached out to would call me back in. absolutely, nobody would give me information on mosaic or environmental pollution. so i decided to try the freedom of information act on that. heard mosaic also sells their uranium and found that their subsidiary cf industries does have a defense contract. so under the freedom of information act, i made 3 requests, one to the environmental protection agency, one to the department of defense,

and one to the nuclear regulatory commission to see where the uranium was going in there was being tracked. and so i was told by the nuclear regulatory commission that there are no files and i was told by the p a they would get back to me. and i was actually called by the department of defense, a meeting with eric crowns. i'm calling regarding a point in a website. i have a few additional questions. if you can give me a call back and my number 703-699-7576. i appreciate it. thank you. i call them back and they wanted to know why i was interested in mosaic and what i wanted to know about mosaic. they told me to stop that line of questioning and that they were going to delete my request from the database. and i needed to get information on them and nobody would talk. so i decided to go ask my son to stop by the office of his we closed at the moment. i very may not be here yet. so we're

gonna head up. hi, i was just gotten some of the pictures around the area. i thought i'd stop by and introduce myself. my name is eric. i just want to say hi to heather eric from right now. are you doing, ann? hi, it's nice. i need to you want to start buying say in person hello. busy okay, yeah, i was just getting shots of like downtown, you know, getting a small town look so yeah. okay. what does that have to do with our business? i mean they're really, yeah. i mean, you're all town. yeah. well not all of our operation. great laugh house, bad watch, eula would be a better i think reflection of our current operations just because you've been mining so long and hardy county. oh, here. oh, okay. yeah, i'm looking to permit here. got years away from having any operations are employees here and just that. okay, so do you guys kind of setting up camp for future shop for?

yeah, i mean it's, yeah, we have an office here, we have an office. i want to look, like i said, i was hoping maybe you'd be here and you know, i could just say hi in person. so. okay. i'm, it's nice to meet you. thank you. bye. all right, no worries. have a good one. yeah. yeah, that's felt touch confrontational, and she was not happy. she wanted to know what i was doing there. so i was at that building for under 2 minutes. and she showed up immediately to question me what was happening. why am i there? they don't have mining here. why would i be getting shot sort of arcadia. i'm so you know, it's interesting. they're definitely paying attention. i'm definitely watching. so i decided to take heather's advice to go check out hardy county. and although

there's a lot of agriculture and firm work in hardy county, the major business there is mining mosaic as one of the biggest employers. it has such deep ties to mining. you can actually see a drag line in their seal, in $1081.00 at the p 8 in an environmental impact study to see how phosphate mining would actually affect the surrounding areas. they came to the conclusion that if they were to go ahead and build these facilities, that would constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment . yeah. but it was built in, according to the hearty county health department, the leading cause of death. here is cancer. when i received a message from a good friend last night saying that there were people inquiring about me. so we are on slightly more higher alert right now, so we don't know exactly who those people work for. but the person that told me i

trust the 100 percent. so i just, i, you know, again, because i noticed that i was starting to be followed by white trucks, mostly white pickup trucks. occasionally some gm sees. but no matter where i went was always a white truck, sort of in the background. when i put the camera up, they would usually drive away. so i had to be very careful while i was out there. eventually find out that mosaic security company uses all white trucks. i've been told from numerous journalists about the harassment that mosaic does and how mosaic, or it's really hard to keep an eye on anybody speaking out against a. this is part of us being followed always by these white trucks.

mm. close. if they were basically stopped to visit us. the timing was really unfortunate cuz we excited to go back to the 4 corners mine and take a water sample and some geiger counter readings. to get a better understanding of how toxic these mines are, if we could get a water sample, this would be the 1st time anybody has ever gotten that information. so we are at the corners mine. we just went to the entrance and we're going to do a quick geiger countering and stealing a find out. just rubbing here. the berm over there is actually manmade is where they put other than

going fast with walker and being self regulated. nobody really knows how much radar and other things they're dumping into the water and getting a water sample from inside the mines. the only way to truly find out normally these areas are off limits and today or opportunity had arrived. we side to go in and take a look with

ah, a colorado became a test bed for medical and then later recreational marijuana and it started with something so innocent. i was wanting to socialize. everybody does it? so i cannot. and then it just keeps going and going and going. i'm just going to do it was yeah. and that it's, i'm just going to try this was never do it again because they one wife, 11 and i'm right on inside. ok. and you surround yourself with people who are encouraging you to do it not to stop or it's all my life is over. jumped officers all balcony and died. mm.

you just wanna kinda make no sense, you know, borders nationalities and you as a merge we don't have with the we don't on the back seat. the whole world needs to take action and be ready. people are judgment, common crisis with we can do better. we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way. we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is granted, the response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together

with ah, a 4 year old child is accidentally pet. the spray is an anti vaccine margin of germany as countries across europe rolling off, new anti cove is measures right before you me. it became rich, there's a spike in do not resuscitate or history. and then you could children suffering from autism and down syndrome. living parents, campaigns to elected being discriminated against the frail brazil says in overwhelmed hospitals. we hear from a mother who was a sanity and offer her some discrimination of even the question they and, and why are people with adults children? i would say while wait, while i old trade and playing with a lack of you math.
