A very. Selfsustaining neighborhood. A lot of the people were hunted some were fishermen a lot of them had Small Businesses of the own 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 just things that you need in your life to survive if i was raised by immigrant grandparents they talked me to appreciate what. Has given me. But some of it is gone. 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 the disenfranchisement 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 in 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 permits issued for such testing sense it began in the early ninetys. So they grew fruit in these fields. Which seems im sorry to why these climate means multiple formulations can be tested in the same field school year 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 depends totally on the chemicals that they also manufacture. In genetic engineering unlike what happens in nature where you have sex and you have mating 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 didnt 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 to the environment and human health. Restricted 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 who 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 field test sites and as this kind of patchwork Regulatory Framework came into being they said oh we better go out to 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 were 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 experimental scene production. And theyre. There doing their experiments and. Were live approximately 500 yards away from where chemicals in the dust come from. Chemical in dust 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 real so between these chemicals and transport through the environment theres no telling where these pesticides will end up some of the chemicals the last couple of months after life 10 months theyve done with. Fumes so now youre moving particles putting on fumes fumes will travel straight as the wind my neighbors there experimented with corn did during gym or experiments theyre testing different pesticide cocktails. Nobody knows what these chemicals will do the elements theyve 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. Who are of them somali. Who moved before. Most of those who heard the preview or. Knew we were. We were going to. Move. Move. Well show you the snook beautiful warble i mean its those who look to the. More muslim also who is the also the view of good pool. Of voters also look i look at the same you belong. Its good to also go. To starts to take the 2 need to fill it with the little one wished theyd say look it is its. Just not a chance to just meet the mashed old truck destructive an egyptian please im trying to talk to. Those who have petitions to go to school to snap them up in newark because that is the cousin with you for your supporters to your shoes lucian shouldnt feel you should cook door for one whose job is the impulse to. The world is driven by a dream shaped by our own person or those great. Dares thinks. We dare to ask. For. The war in syria seems to be winding down with some syrians returning to their homeland but going back to a normal life now seems like a pipe dream after almost a decade of proxy war this syrian l. Dooms 2 years of proxy peace. Thank you no because you need me to come the ones we got in here she. Didnt know its still trapped in this tiny little wired you dont need a crate with him he will just. Freaking out and he will when its pretty much anywhere near. Breeding dogs or caged in the into lane conditions on the phone i mean 67 years you know theyve been locked up in a cage outside you see no protection from the weather the heat you know the cold air the rain the snow the funder nothing they have no protection. To get you. To get to kids. Across the u. S. Cruel puppy mills are supported by dog shows and pet stores most of the puppies that are coming from these large Scale Factory farming kind of operations are being sold in stores even joined a Group Businesses are involved like gillum center there has been a shocking amount of organized opposition to adverts to increase the standards of care for dogs bred in commercial breeding facilities most of that opposition is coming from huge agricultural groups and industries that have nothing to do with jobs dont buy dog. Genetic engineering is 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 monsanto found a bacteria that withstands their herbicide roundup they will it 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 testing im glad to say the issue is the chronic effects the long term and its 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 is raised with the e. P. A. Why didnt you look for the chronic effects of guy for say a constant exposure and they said because it never accumulates 1st of all accumulate means you keep building it up make 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 in chemicals on thousands and thousands of acres of these experimental crops extort schools sure ames waterways likely right into the ocean animals are getting sick people are 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 10 and Natural Resources is our drinkable water 40 years ago the 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 it will amplify and concentrate in the food chain up the food chain into human beings and. Theyll cause illness no and theyll diminish quality of life and diminish 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 Research 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 are. 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 bob p. C. B. S. Dioxin d. D. T. Agent orange and many of the top 12 percent that are going to 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 they got so addicted to profits that they then retooled and redesign agriculture to make it dependent on these chemical. A neo nicotine oid is a neurotoxin for an insect so when an insect ingest noid 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 sun. Is fond of the design of the use of. Whats different about noids is that theyre present all the time this seeds were coated with the new year new noids and then the seed was planted the new nicotine oid is water soluble so it goes into the soil the seed sprouts and the seed root tips then take up the neo negative noise into the plant so the entire plant all the cells all the tissues all the blue its contained. 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 fur 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 restricted use pesticides were bought and probably sprayed on the island we know that pesticides like has application rates probably 10 times the national average. The intensity and frequency of Pesticide Usage on quake is so high that it led one Award Winning journalist to call it one of the most toxic agricultural environments and all of american agriculture we know from a lawsuit that pesticides are sprayed by at least one company 250 to 300 days a year 10 to 16 times a day the post decides theyre really. We should be very careful. Introducing chemicals that affect the nature of life itself and. The unintended consequences. Are already affecting human health in a long term way. And the number one thing is for me as a mom. 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. County 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. Emergency many of. My grandchildren one of them as. Respiratory. 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 canon 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 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 home all the. Which is the Community Health clinic the pattern that i saw i 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 farmers so theyre the front line and their children are in the front how 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 pyros the findings in the sample were very striking we found areas of brain in large lands 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 were an 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 in fetal life 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 them on coop were seeing him in the very places where the Chemical Companies are doing their year round studies. Its all i. Want to. Look at it like im not good you got it. Not me not. What politicians do something. They put themselves on the line and they did accept the reject. So when you want to be president im sure. More somehow want to press. You to go right to the press this is like a tree in the morning cant be good. Im interested always in the waters in the. Sydney. You know world of big partisan movies lot and conspiracy its time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that Mainstream Media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other its time for Critical Thinking its time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. Because this long seen the blood of them so much. Good news corp local was before. Much of those who heard its a preview are mostly other movies to see him with the north we will go. Move. Move when its. All show you this new video of the liberal media is going to look for a good. Movie muslim also these girls will give you films for good girls. To go to shows a look but look your simu belonging to show you story to the issue go. To start ups to. Get to meet until it was a little missed theyd say look it is its. Just ashton understand statistics not the mashed old trick to stop the president and please introduce mark to students. As we have petitions to post this for to snipe at them with a new look because that is the cousin with you sir your supporters to your machine station shouldnt feel you should cook door for one whos devoted to the request. Of. The polish. People in syrias northern that region lets celebrate a reported agreement between the local kurdish authorities and the government in damascus that is as rich. Continues a military offensive against the kurds in the area. More than a week of violent protests continue in ecuador with the president refusing to cancel. And environmental groups
