9:30 pm
jake was able to rezone $16000.00 acres in their own a mine, and that actually borders these wetlands that were 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 my freshman, what does that community? what does your household, i mean a, my wife and i, we've had a lot of issues. you know i, she, she feels like he shouldn't try to take on a global phosphate giant. but you know, some things that were standing for, i mean being infringed on my way of life. and i hate to me, this is more of a constitutional machine. mm. was 8 matchers themselves and then give them more details of those results to the county and, and they can just says, okay,
9:31 pm
met the criteria. those wells were placed in a concentration area where they filing their own 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 berms to keep the minds kind of out of public eye. so when you're driving by you'd 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 the and how dangerous the area is, so nobody would dare to ever even drive in voluntarily. 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,
9:32 pm
man, this place radioactive get out. and they were out here for a week working on a project up there. and every day i came in, shut them and you know, i just said, you know, this is a dangerous thing out here, but none of them there. no warning signs were here on property. they just say we can't trespass there is there is a radioactivity in the area and nothing, nothing. 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 that way it's not even the topic they have to fight for right, right friday. i'll like to talk about it. and i, you know, we like it, we like to talk with
9:33 pm
where exactly are we looking at here is this phosphate extraction that took place in april by july they were out of here. okay, you can see how much acreage they check out of air over here is, is where they bring out the slurry and they hit it with the water cannons. and that's the result of that by products 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 or in another, they're 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
9:34 pm
. so i'm back at home base today we spent a lot of the inside of the right around the mines and i started to get really sick and you can feel a swelling and a pain in the fat, 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 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 of that phosphate process is after you've cleaned out and separated the phosphate from the leftover uranium and other radioactive cancer causing toxic materials. they released back into the water. they have some material that the ph says they're not
9:35 pm
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 brain 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 got some post on our facebook page from residents who 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 burrage nash
9:36 pm
bond looks like the little holes in our lash ra, a lamb stone, bay net water, st. think sleeping, rattle down into a route on through the ronald blue, saying it's that labs don't each that quickly. so as a b b a n k lane, probably more work for both processes, jukes and sports, because the suits are mastery of border. students own more middle georgia worker to be honest. school in the world. well, we're or you shouldn't, shouldn't all those for the pull news is worse. it's cold or full for school,
9:37 pm
or you can. i'm sure your source for super not to go for total for angela, doing things for foreclosure, for all, for going home to offer to you over and over the world. people are already a, i'm in polk county, florida, where the famous sink 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 do you have a miniature, indiana jones and your family?
9:38 pm
if so, is there any good a path when you visit them all very fast, they need a big this is a big point. low barre. oh, 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 bank. they'll have arts and crafts. here. is probably one of the radio, 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 year, 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 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,
9:39 pm
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 a metal. can you chase a metal on your mouth right now? oh yeah. on the chip your top like i've been chewing aluminum. well, you'll probably get a headache later via we're living in this every day and it's higher radiation treatment we have now 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, and heart disease, high blood pressure to make one in this area. kidney figures are big when long
9:40 pm
cancer huge. i've had love to 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 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 52 when he died. director at kids are so you don't have to necessarily work as a mind. you have to live around or drinking water, or near where the soil, they generate hazardous waste, where you are active, waged with everything they dump those into the ground and migrate has to go
9:41 pm
somewhere. and then migrate to example. lake okeechobee, it goes with the land of ocean, it goes to adults and mexico. the red tide. karen, the brothers, that's the one that's out in the ocean. nice oxygen come to the oxide and phosphorus, guess what? phosphorus is flows through, his bare is cracked in the ground like this, it 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 up and says, i think i'll go down here and it goes over here, but ultimately got to the ocean. ah, ah,
9:42 pm
ah. ah christmas the traditional yuletide on a day. this year i'm making this traditional in a special christmas guide me christmas tolerance diversity guide. we all know that christmas is a family holiday and 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, no gifts, no, don't so teddy, best prepare your children for the brave new world. i remember
9:43 pm
diversity is not a t i o is no longer an appropriate cost. you this is appropriation, zoological appropriation oh, offensive to the dia, community. mm hm. and obviously santa. oh, to be cancelled. i because he is a wisest 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. to sorry kid center is not coming to town anymore. i follow these instructions. stick to the spirit of christmas. you decide, oh,
9:44 pm
a forced to chill with christmas goal is to child begin, follows with which one is more about the way to assess my william. let him go, go ahead of it as a courtesy. what was left again is that with potential for food, water with a couple of mutually was, wasn't a deal that the good for them playing it. that if you just because you machine that it not familiar with any getting near more, i mean, unless you put them up with a single mother, the beam is power to start
9:45 pm
with with . mm mm 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 i've, you know, 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 m,
9:46 pm
as mary economy, as those phosphorus products make their way into the waterway. and feed design, the bacteria feed the red tide. it leads to an ecological disaster of millions of tons of fish kills. busy this year, over 200 manatees over a 125 dolphins over 400 sea 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 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 a sink hole in central florida,
9:47 pm
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 are unnatural, and they're being fed by the unification of our waste through phosphate nitrogen. hello everyone. my colleagues at the 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, am marketers, i've concentrated phosphate and potash crop nutrients. this is our 1st fortune 500 recruitment when in march, an important milestone in our rise has a global business destination. hillsboro county has experienced tremendous growth
9:48 pm
and our financial professional services. i. t. a manufacturing sector about our phosphate industry, which dates back to the 18 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 was just going to fight him 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 q, but they can't get a drag land on it because it be too close to my house. mm mm. i mean we 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
9:49 pm
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 i, my daughter has how she lotus, my eldest son has parkinson's. my husband has leukemia. my grand daughter went to sleep at 13 and woke up the next morning. her eyelashes round her face. that's how we found that her thyroid is gone. news was the right there, as long as she lives on the property mosaic, not allowed to touch with the problems the dust. she surrounded on all 4 sides by mine which have off chips and then it travels airborne to all the surrounding areas for miles and miles, which gives of radar, which is undetectable when breathing is the 2nd leading cause of lung cancer in the
9:50 pm
united states. killing over 20000 people, eager to see it stay in the house a lot because he it with his own condition. he couldn't go outside or have we own 50 acres and 50 lease. and he could not glass at our house because we were held hostage to the death. ah oh all i was starting to feel a little disheartening. 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
9:51 pm
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 violent, 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 you can give me a call back. my number 703699. so 76, 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
9:52 pm
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. i says we closed at the moment. i very may not be here yet. so we're gonna head up like 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. hi. are you diane? hi, it's nice. i need to you want 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 look so yeah. okay. what does that have to do with our business? i mean, i yeah. but underneath your wall town. yeah. so it's not all of our operations. great. blockhouse bag, why sula would be a better, i think, reflection of our current operations just because you've been mining so long and
9:53 pm
hardy county. oh, here. oh, okay. yeah. i'm looking to permit here. got years away from having any operations are employees here in to say, oh okay, so you guys are setting up camp for a future shop for? yeah, i mean, 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. okay, sounds nice to meet you. thank you. bye. all righty. no worries. have a good one. i. yeah, that's felt 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 shot, serve arcadia? i so you know,
9:54 pm
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 is one of the biggest employers. it has such deep ties to mining. you can actually see a drag line in their seal. in 1091 at the e. p. aden, 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
9:55 pm
we are on slightly more higher hyler right now, and we don't know exactly who those if to work for the person that told me i trust the 100 percent. so my jim stein, 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 through his 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. i eventually find out that mosaic security company uses all white trucks. and i've been told from numerous journalists about the harassment that mosaic does. and how mosaic worked really hard to keep an eye on anybody speaking out against
9:56 pm
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 decided 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. okay, so we're at the corner is mine. we just went to the entrance and we're gonna do a quick geiger counter rating and stealing to find out just about being here. it's deborah over there is actually manmade. it's where they put other
9:57 pm
dan dan with walker and being self regulated. nobody really knows how much radon 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 arrives. we say to go in and take a look
9:58 pm
9:59 pm
with you as things that have happened in the world would be done by people who had a great vision of how society could be better. but that great vision is typically the left hemisphere representation is not real. it doesn't take into account any of the complexity of reality, the subtlety of how various and complex people i put them into categories says this love is bad, we'll get rid of them. you know and change is an organic process. change is an evolution and the opposition is not between the status and everything must stay the same and everything must be radically changed. radical change is not the way that kill
10:00 pm
ah, police dogs and buttons deployed again until locked down. demonstrated in amsterdam . the city's major gave the order to break up the 1000 strong, illegal rally. and in some of the big stories of the week, just gone. germany shows down the hall of this nuclear power plant, while belgian says it will close all of its reactors in the next 3 years. as the tradition to green energy. got this, pay off the 1000000000 death and destroyed homes and off gun whistleblower. lift the lid on america's drone program, the former operator who's currently in hiding from the taliban folks off east on heard voices, project, rams operations. we were not told about any civilian dance. nobody told us that.
