In violence a great beauty was born. These the lands were the youngest part of the earths vast visible surface the renewed. These islands were unique alone apart. An authentic natural paradise. Of all the growing things that existed in the silence 95 out of a 100 nowhere else in the world. Under. There was there as there is no no police no no order to even begin to compete with these islands in their capacity to encourage natural life to develop free and radically to its own potential. From the. Reason. Most born. Today these islands face an uncertain future and the survival of this natural paradise is being threatened. Why mere valley. Was my school. Lease is the way i learned to hunt and fish. To enjoy. This whole valley. I used to go hunting from here right saddle up my mules and out right all the way into the valley. Valley was a very. Selfsustaining neighborhood. A lot of the people were hunted some were fishermen a lot of them had Small Businesses of the oem a lot of the people were farmers we werent they gantz. Agriculture because all of the farmers up here were all tariff almos. So we all had to work hard we all had to respect each other the fad use that were given to us by our family he taught you all do stings that you need in your life to survive if i was raised by immigrant grandparents they talked me to a priest. He. Has given me. But some of reduce. The establishment of a large sugar plantations was kind of the colonial force that really pulled these islands into the chains of Global CapitalAgricultural Production and left behind a legacy of consolidated Land Ownership control over water rights and really that this thing franchise men and marginalization of Indigenous People and their homelands. 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 the mixed blessing was that i had annoyed 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 weve had over 3300. 00 hermits issued for such testing sense it began in the early ninetys. So they grew fruit in these fields. Which seems to start to why use climate means multiple formulations can be tested in this so you feel. You know its all about the chemicals and the reason its 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 youre doing it in a test tube where youre transferring genes from one organism into another organism or youre editing the genome of that organism using cut and paste techniques lets say you have a tomato and you want to make the 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. Theyre not interested in feeding the world there is dead and feeding their bottom line and that bottom line is selling more and more chemicals disaster they make thats 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. Is however authorized for use for agricultural purposes and its 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. And as this kind of patchwork Regulatory Framework came into being they said oh we better go what the feds and design something that works for us when you look at whats happening on the west side its 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 are in the biotech era. Theyre exercising this corporate profit over the welfare of the people right now koa is ground 0 for 4 of the largest chemical corporations in the world for their experiment production. There and. Theyre doing their experiments and. Were live approximately 500 yards away from where to turn because in the dust come from. Chemical and. Has a great effect on us it took away our lives. You cant see it in the yard and enjoy your yard that you worked hard for. Drift is relevant in rio so between these chemicals and transport through the environment theres no telling where these pesticides will end up some of the chemicals they last couple months after life 10 months they dont want to. Put a few so now youre moving particles put in a few fumes will travel straight as the wind my neighbors there experimented with corn they did during jim or experiments but theyre just in different pesticide 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 its 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. When the whole make this manufacture consent instant of public wealth. When the ruling class is protect themselves. When the crime and larry go around to lift is only the one percent. Of the time we can all middle of the room sick. Really. I mean real news is real. In this community there are people who believe that its ok. Its really hard there are no jobs and you see the kids that ask and as a parent. I can come up with arguments and theres a lot of conflict within the game and between the teams most of the conflict i would say. Is maybe. Close one on the childrens each other is Good Business the state of california makes 6000000000. 00 a year off to prison complex just to get some 20 year life where. You dont care. Anything. What politicians do. Put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president and you. Want to be. Going to the press this is what. 3 of the more beautiful. Interested always in the was in the. Genetic engineering as 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 theres 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 youve 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 eightys masato found a bacteria that was stans their herbicide roundup they were lets take d. N. A. From that bacteria put it into corn and eventually soy and cotton plants they said now weve got it you can ariel spray those crops with these toxic herbicides kill the waynes and the crops survive we have not done adequate that so youre going to see the issue is the chronic effects the long term and thats important. Because people are chronically exposed so much so that irrespective of whether or not it accumulates they carry a load we know its in the mothers milk whether or not it crosses in neutral to the placenta barrier i dont know but the issue was raised with the e. P. A. Why didnt you 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 doesnt matter if it accumulates or not if youre exposed to it every day or everywhere. To grow g. M. Most that theyre doing is theyre just dumping Copious Amounts of poisons and chemicals on thousands and thousands of acres of these experimental crops extort schools sure aims waterways likely right into the ocean animals are getting sick if were 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 couldnt. We live on an island that has finite Natural Resources one of our Natural Resources is our drinkable water 40 years ago the were Chemical Companies that farm but molly use d. D. T. Spring chemicals onto the pineapple feels these fields leach into the land 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 theyre going to wash off the rivers and streams and they will accumulate the air and amplify and concentrate in the food chain up the food chain indeed human beings and. Theyll cause illness and no and theyll diminish quality of. The menage 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 racism going on in hawaii whether these Companies Feel they can get away with this because the people have less political power yes its racism its 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 were talking about were talking about corporations that created the nucular by. Dioxin. Agent orange and many of the top 12 percent that are getting 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 say got so addicted to profits that the then retooled and redesigned agriculture to make it dependent on these chemicals. A neo nicotine oid is a neurotoxin for an insect so when an insect ingest the neo nicotine oid 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. 00 papers theyve 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 thought of the design of the use of only says i would touch. Whats different about noids is that theyre present all the time the seeds were coated with the near nicotine oids and then the seed was planted the new nicotine oid is water soluble so it goes into the soil the seed sprouts and those seed root tips then take up the neo negative noid into the plant so. The entire plant all the so all the tissues all the plume contained in the woods and thats how they repel insects and theyre in the food because theyre systemic pesticides same is true for glyphosate theyre not on the surface of the apple or the peach sure the whatever it is theyre in the fruit you cant 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 restrictive used pesticides were bought and probably sprayed on the island we know 1 that pesticides like clip sheriff has application rates probably 10 times the national average. The intensity and frequency of Pesticide Usage is so high that it lead one Award Winning journalist to call it one of the most toxic agricultural environments and all of american agriculture we know from a lawsuit pesticides are sprayed by at least one company 250 to 300 days a year 10 to 16 times a day the pesticides there are really. We should be very careful about introducing chemicals that affect the nature of life itself because the unintended consequences. Are already affecting human health in the long term way. And the number one thing is for me as a mom. Health 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. Pediatrics the American Cancer Institute they all say that people that live and work around agricultural areas where theres heavy Pesticide Use have higher incidence of cancer of. Disease. After 17 years of the doctor here in hawaii im 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 shes been to. Emerge many of. My grandchildren one of them as. Respiratory problems too like she is developing asthma. Yeah i mean asthma respiratory infections theyre almost the norm on our side of the island and the more i spoke to people the more i discover that its just kind of a way of life. In the environment and can and is aerosolized it does get into the air that we breathe and when its taken into the lungs and into the smallest air Exchange Units it can move from the ill be a law into the bloodstream especially a pregnant mothers 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 wasnt just prenatal exposure but it was postnatal exposure of the child that was related to their lung function i started work at whole of the law which is the Community Health clinic the pattern that i saw was mostly respiratory illness rashes fatigue severe headaches dizziness also times that you would see whats 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 the farm workers so theyre the front line and their children are in the front and they often live very near the fields so whether it be the cancers 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 pyro folks the findings in the sample were very striking we 1000 areas of brain and 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 in intellectual functioning in these children you cant treat a Developmental Disability thats structural you cant change that brain function of that brain structure that didnt get to develop from utero age one age to age 3. Im often asked where im seeing the clusters of disease and developmental problems and to be frank im seeing the mancow i were seeing in the very places where the Chemical Companies are doing their year round studies. Done. So. Much. But just look. At this connection to last him said ask for the last 70 and seeing and on monday for the match for who should. Commission say you. Were to just shoot on disc in the. Asian community. Least your mom. And im going to go so sit on the open in much the same new mama is just back. And. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guests of the world of politics Small Business im show business ill see that. The swarms of them still moving. Much of those who heard the. Sneer will. We will. Move. Move. Move she didnt look beautiful the media looked good. Muslim also these girls will give you good girls. Go to show also look look your simu will love you. You story should go. To starts to. Get to need to fill it with the little one must say look it is its. Not just just me its the mashed old truck stop the president and please introduce more to. The 3 of you just because listening to snoop come up when you look as good as the girls are with you sir your supporters to your station shouldnt feel you should cook door for one whose job is a.
