Apart. An authentic natural paradise. Of all the growing things that existed in the silence 95 out of a 100 or else in the world. A mere. There was there as there is no no police known on earth that even began to compete with these islands in their capacity to encourage natural life to develop free and radically up to its own potential. From the. Recent. Most boring. 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 feel. To enjoy. This whole valley. I used to go hunting from here id 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 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 values 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 taught me to appreciate what. Has given me. But some of it is gone. 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 and franchise men and marginalization of Indigenous People and their homelands. My home is located in a while called white in a place known as kickoff 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 that began in the early ninetys. So they grew fruit in these fields. Which seems to start 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 hold out the chemicals is that the genome seed come. These 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 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 dead and feeding their bottom line and the 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 pesticides 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 work in 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 the sugar. Arrow we are in the biotech era. Theyre exercising this corporate profit over the welfare of the people right now coyle is ground 0 for 4 of the largest chemical corporations in the world for their experimental scene production. And theyre and. Theyre doing their experiments and. Were live approximately 500 yards away from where chemicals in the dust come from. The 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 between these chemicals and transport through the environment theres no telling where these pesticides will end up some of the chemicals they last couple of months after life 10 months they dont want to. Put out fumes so now youre moving particles putting out a few fumes will travel straight as the wind my neighbors there experimented with corn they did during gym or experiments theyre just in different pesticide cocktails. Nobody knows what these chemicals will do the humans 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 all 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. What politicians do something to. Put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president. Or some want to be. Its a going to be press as a white woman for 3 in the morning cant be good for im interested always in the water using now. 1st of all. Of this connection to last him should ask for the last 70 and seeing and on monday for the dutch pro who should. See. Richard just shoot on disk in the. No new car so said im not going to much to me mamma its just that our. Genetic engineering is a discipline and the product is a g m o b t 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. An internal insecticide. In the early eightys monsanto found a bacteria that withstands 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 testing are glad to see the issue is the chronic effects the long term and its important now 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 mouth 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 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 extorts schools streams waterways likely right into the ocean animals are getting sick before 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 dont. We live on an island that has finite Natural Resources one of our and resources is our drinkable water 40 years ago the were Chemical Companies that formed an ma we use d. D. T. Spring chemicals on to the point of who feels these fuels. 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 and theyre going to wash off the rivers and streams and they will accumulate the air and it will by all amplify and concentrate in the food chain up the food chain and a human being and. Theyll cause illness and know 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 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 by. Dioxin. Agent orange and many of the top 12 percent that are gonna pollutants that destroy our world. Rachel carson said that in the brookside spring thats how it said it in his book agriculture testament that industry that had making chemicals the wall say got so addicted to profits that they then retooled and redesign 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 neo know 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. So the sun and butterflies. Is thought of the design of the use of polices would touch. Whats different about noids is that theyre present all the time the seeds were coated with the near nicotine noise 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 noid into the plant. The entire plan all the so all the tissues all the plume its contained in the woods and thats how they repel insects and theyre in the food because theyre systemic pesticides same is true for glide to say theyre not on the surface of the cold or the peat 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 restrictive use 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 on quake is so high that it lead one Award Winning journalist to call at 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 pesticides there really sides 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 a long term way. And the number one thing is for me as a mom. My Daughters Health change prior to observing those changes i had no idea what. Was 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 American 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 wide variety 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 times. My grandchildren one of them as. Respiratory problems tonight she is developing asthma. Yeah i mean asthma respiratory infections are 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 so 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 up. And from there it gets into the babys 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 all sentences 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 their farm workers 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 core pyro folks the findings in that sample were very striking we found areas of brain in the large ones across regions of the brain that are involved in higher order cognitive processing those regions of the abnormality 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 feed old life with abnormalities in brain structure and those abnormalities in structure we think produce after maladies intellectual functioning in these children you cant treat a Developmental Disability thats structural you cant change that brain function of that brain structure it 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 co i was seeing him in the very places where the Chemical Companies are doing their year round studies. The swarms of them so much. Good news was before. Much of those who heard the preview or never seen them with the north we were going to. Move. Move. Move show you the snooper you have the liberal media to look good. Just like most of these girls will give you films for good girls. Dont go to shows so look i do the same you want me to show the story to you should go. To startups to. Get to meet until it was the middle of the mist theyd say look it is its. Just ashton understand just move the mashed old truck stop the president on please introduce more to. The 3 of producers because lucifer to snap them up when you look at those the girls are with you sir your supporters to your machine station shouldnt feel you should cook door for the one whos doing business. Not long ago it was russia russia russia now its Ukraine Ukraine ukraine what partisan hacks in biased media wont tell you is why ukraine has become part of americas Political Drama you only hear a cheer up process. And its community there are people who believe that its ok. Hey. Its really hard there are no jobs and you see that ive got kids. And as a parent. I can come up with arguments theres a lot of conflict in the game between the 2 most of the conflict i would say. Has made. Us want each of those he know each other this could be just the state of california alone to make 6000000000. 00 a year of prison complex you get some 20 year life where. You dont care. So you care mind anything. I know. Turkey reportedly carries out bombing raids against Kurdish Forces formerly backed by the u. S.
