ah, with 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 a, b, c, actually news reporter adam weiner. they fear another environmental mess. it's not only just my organic farm, it's our natural resources. it's our very precious land and water dang was among the doesn't to spoke out against mosaic at the 2nd full day of hearings held by manatee county commissioners. deciding whether to change the zoning of 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 mosaic beach into here, and come through all these properties right here. garrett's an organic farmer, and he just lost his you sta, organic status. because mosaic was able to rezone $16000.00 acres in their own 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. sir garrett has decided to take them to court. you know this, i mean, it must be extremely stressful. this process, oh yeah, mining is stressful. if i say my stress or what it does, say community, what does your household, i mean, my wife and i, we've had a lot of issues now she, she feels like you shouldn't try to take on a global phosphate giant for you. some things are, were standing for, i mean,

they are fringed on my way of life. and to me, this is more of a constitutional issue. ah, most a managers themselves, they then give them those results to the county. and then the ecologist says, okay, you met the criteria, those wells were placed in the conservation area where they violated they're all working. 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. 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 opened up the destruction. what asked the guys why there was no warning signs about the radioactivity or no, 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 in voluntarily. 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, they were out here for a week working on a project up there. and every day i came and shut them. now i just said, you know, this is a dangerous thing out here, but none of them there are no warning signs. we're out here on property. they just say we can't trespass there is, there is radioactivity, an 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. right now, like to talk about it and that, you know, we like,

we like to talk with . so it 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 there that they're mining exists. so this is a ban,

like i mean they just stop production on it go out, they're done, or in 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 back here, which i believe of lymph nodes. so that's the 1st thing and then how it sets in, within maybe being around that dust and that pollution within like 10 minutes, 15 minutes. i also have a headache and i started to get us a slight pain in my side. the longer that we were in those mines, so not really feeling well tonight. so the end result,

a phosphate process is after you'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, damp so material that the ph 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 gas 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 215000000 gallons of contaminated water from the aquifer is a process that will take years. we've got some 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, not water seeping, rattled down into a route on through the ronald blue, saying it's that lamps dome. each said a quickly. so is it a cave layer? quickbooks, probably more. we're going to roll processes. the jukes in sports that goes to suits the mastery of border students own more mil jackson still works, going to be honest. but still in the world,

no talk word or you shouldn't student. all those a is worse. it's cold before call for school. or you can leave a new source pacific not to go for total for angela contains full foreclosure for all for going home through june to offer you wrote to you. ringback over and over the world world over 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 past when you visit them all very faint. mm hm. over me and this would be, this is a big point. mulberry 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 coco thing. have arts and crafts here is probably one of the radio. radioactive places in mulberry. because you had that you had the mosaic drag line right here. well, the budget has been used, 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 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's 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 the authorities are saying, well, the guy, you're 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 the metal. can you taste a metal on your mouth right now? oh yeah. on the chip. your top like i've been chewing aluminum, you'll probably get a headache later, viet, we're living in this every day and it's higher than radiation treatment. we have 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 they're, 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 you're older. 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 to make one in this area. kidney failures a big when lung cancer. huge. i've had love to my breast. i've had to biopsies before i was 40, and i've had sister to turn into 2 words on my ovaries. i had 2 boyfriends to one, died from who returned, 44 lung cancer in brand cancer and throw kit, he suffocated did that. and then i had somebody else as a close to and he would have been 52 when he died in data for cancer. so you don't have to necessarily work at the mines. you have to live around

are great, you're water, or near with the soil. they generate hazardous waste radioactive waste, but everything they dump falls into the ground and migrates, has to go somewhere and then migrates to example, lake okeechobee. it goes to the atlantic ocean and it goes to the gulf of mexico. now the red tide, karen, the umbrellas, that's the one that's out in the ocean. knees, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and phosphorus is where the process is flow through east bed. this fax in the ground like this. it wells. now these 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 up and says, i think i'll go down here and it goes over here,

but ultimately got to the ocean. ah ah christmas. the traditional yuletide on a day of 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 gift no,

don't or teddy best prepare your children for the brave new world. and remember, diversity is not a t i o is no longer an appropriate costume. this is appropriation 0, a logical appropriation offensive to the day community. mm hm. and obviously, sandra m o 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 kids center is not coming to town anymore. i follow these instructions, stick to the spirit of christmas. you decide?

oh, i of every year across stock, answer some of your many questions. not surprisingly, many of your questions, concerns politics, the current international situation, and whether we should trust legacy median. we'll do our best to answer as many questions as again with mm. lauder means everything that i've had on the water since i was a child. i live here in matlab. shay, florida, where i've you choir a 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 r m r. mcnair economy as those phosphorus products to make their way in the waterway to feed the sy in 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 a $125.00 dolphins. over $400.00 c turtles and tons of miscellaneous fish that were killed this year. behind that was economic meltdown. the fort myers beach was

a ghost town. people are lying 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 arc over those aquifers eventually make their way into our, our coastal waters. grating 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 are 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 welcome the mosaic company's headquarters to our community mosaic as

a fortune 500 company and one of the world's leading producers and marketers, i've concentrated phosphate and potash crop nutrients. this is our 1st fortune 500 recruitment when in march, an important milestone and our rise has a global business destination. hillsboro county has experienced tremendous growth and our financial professional services i. t and manufacturing sector that our cost paid industry, which dates back to the $18.00 eighty's continues to thrive. the export of phosphate products and related prostate 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 to swap so that if anything happens after we're down and mosaic wanted this property, they can't dig they own that property. 7 over to the side here and the property can

you, but they can't get a grand on it because it be too close to my house. mm. mm. i really want your property. huh. cuz then that would open up a bunch more money. they say no. 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 sell. but we love 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 grand kids 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 on her face. that's

how we found that her thyroid is gone. was one the right there as long as she lives on the property mosaic. not allowed to touch with the problems that does. she surrounded on all 4 sides by mine, which you have off, chips travels airborne to all the surrounding areas for miles and miles, which gives off radar, which is undetectable when breed. then it's 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 was he has one condition, he couldn't go outside our house. we own 50 acres and 50 leased. and he could not go outside our house because we were held hostage to the death. mm. in

moving in, i was starting to feel disheartened. 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 i had 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. i was told by the p a they would get back to me. and i was actually called by the department of defense a, a crown i'm calling regarding a point in a website. i have

a few did no questions. if you can give me a call back. 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 they were gonna 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 some. so stop by the office as his we closed at the moment. i may not be here yet. so we're going to head up. hi, i was just getting some pictures around the area. i thought i'd stop by and introduce myself. my name is eric. i just wanted to say hi heather at france. oh, are you doing? hi. i'm trying to stop by and say in person hello. busy okay, yeah,

i was just getting shots of like downtown, you know, getting a small town. so yeah. okay. what does that have to do with our business? so are you, i mean yeah, what i'm hearing all town. yeah. well, not all of our operations. but why would be a better, i think, reflection of our current operations just because you've been mining so long and hardy county up here. oh, okay. yeah, we're looking to permit here years away from having any operations or employees here and just that. okay, so you guys are setting a camp for future shop for? yeah, i mean, yeah, we have an office here. we have an office that want to, like i said, i was hoping maybe be here and you know, i could just say hi in person. so. okay, nice to meet you. thank you. all right, no worries. have a good one. yeah, that still a 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 shots of arcadia so? 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 farm work in hardy county, the major business there is mining mosaic is 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, there would constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment . it. 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, and we don't know exactly who those if to 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 pick up trucks, occasionally some gmc, 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 journalist about the harassment that mosaic does and how mosaic, or it's really hard to keep an eye on anybody speaking out again a, this is part of us being followed always by these white trucks pretty close if they were basically stopped to visit us. the timing was really unfortunate because 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 gonna do a quick geiger countering and stealing a find out. just rubbing here the berm over there is actually manmade. it's where they put other then bass with marcia it with 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. ah ah, i mean, you must either so delicate and as you want to don to stand together will continue

to stand together against russia. even in germany, repeat some of the errors that we doubtless made. they noticed vinitez, chunky daughter about their milling influence other nations, france b, u k. and even latin america and other countries in future there may be no where to high, wrong cycle alone with members of your household. so please, please, please, please. we have to continue to fight. don't just need to to do the russia must not be allowed in germany. i don't want y'all to a common limit, so short. so the an lp, the enough ation. the 5 and the yes. in the 80 the enough missiles guns until sunday i with

ah, some parents in the u. k. accuse hospitals have discriminating against children with down syndrome and a bid to free up beds. during the pandemic, we hear from a mother who was asked to sign and do not reset the change order for her son. when she said it, i well documented it, that's my son's life that you're asking with each valuable. no, i mean she has down's enzyme, but that's got nothing to do with leverage. shipping recess tight, so not and the latest polling shows that most of us democrats now don't want joe biden to run into $1024.00. we look back at his 1st year in office and russia to take that asian industry to new heights with the launch of a brand new passenger get. we take a look at what makes the plane so you.
