New information reveals that EPA colluded with Monsanto\u2019s decades long cover up of the highly toxic chemicals Agent Orange toxin in their herbicide.<\/h3>\n
April 13th, 2012 2,4-D and the dioxin pollution it creates are too dangerous to allow, period, but in the hands of bad actors like Monsanto and Dow Chemical the dangers increase exponentially. What\u2019s the Environmental Protection Agency doing? Helping coverup the chemical companies\u2019 crimes!<\/p>\n In February, Monsanto agreed to pay up to $93 million<\/a> in a class-action lawsuit<\/a> brought by the residents of Nitro, West Virginia, for dioxin exposure from accidents and pollution at an herbicide plant that operated in their town from 1929 to 2004.<\/p>\n That may seem like justice, but it is actually the result of Monsanto\u2019s extraordinary efforts to hide the truth, evade criminal prosecution and avoid legal responsibility.<\/p>\n A brief criminal fraud investigation conducted by the EPA revealed that Monsanto used a disaster at their Nitro, WV, plant to manufacture \u201cevidence\u201d that dioxin exposure produced a skin condition called chloracne, but was not responsible for neurological health effects or cancers such as Non-Hodgkins lymphoma.<\/p>\n These conclusions were repeatedly utilized by EPA and the Veterans Administration to deny help to citizens exposed to dioxin, if these persons did not exhibit chloracne.<\/p>\n The EPA knew the truth about Monsanto\u2019s dioxin crimes, but it decided to hide it. Why? It would have affected us all. EPA\u2019s brief criminal investigation of Monsanto included evidence that Monsanto knowingly contaminated Lysol with dioxin, even as the product was being marketed for cleaning babies\u2019 toys.<\/p>\n Here are the details of this jaw-dropping and heart-breaking case of corporate criminality and EPA collusion.<\/p>\n According to Natural News<\/a>:<\/p>\n From NativeInterface<\/a>:<\/p>\n According to Source Watch<\/a>, in 1990, Cate Jenkins, a PhD chemist at EPA, became convinced that Monsanto had deliberately manipulated studies of worker victims of the Nitro disaster showing that dioxin was a human carcinogen.<\/p>\n Dr. Jenkins wrote a memorandum entitled \u201cNewly Revealed Fraud by Monsanto in an Epidemiological Study Used by EPA to Assess Human Health Effects from Dioxins.\u201d Read the memo at PureFood.org.<\/a><\/p>\n According to her memo<\/a>:<\/p>\n Within days of learning that the Office of Enforcement had initiated a criminal investigation of Monsanto based on Jenkins\u2019 allegations, her job duties were withdrawn without warning. She was not given any assignments from August 30, 1990 until she was reassigned on April 8, 1992 to a job which was primarily administrative or clerical.<\/p>\n According to a 1994 report<\/a> on \u201cEPA\u2019s Phony Investigation of Monsanto,\u201d by William Sanjour, Policy Analyst, US Environmental Protection Agency, published in Rachel\u2019s Hazardous Waste News:<\/p>\n Why did Monsanto and the EPA go to such great lengths to hide the truth? It would have affected us all. EPA\u2019s brief criminal investigation of Monsanto included evidence that Monsanto knowingly contaminated Lysol with dioxin, even as the product was being marketed for cleaning babies\u2019 toys.<\/p>\n Dr. Jenkin\u2019s memo<\/a> also contained evidence that Lysol, a product made from Monsanto\u2019s Santophen, was contaminated with dioxin with Monsanto\u2019s knowledge. The manufacturer of Lysol was not told about the dioxin by Monsanto for fear of losing his business. Other companies using Santophen, who specifically asked about the presence of dioxin, were lied to by Monsanto.<\/p>\n This is just one example of why we can\u2019t trust the EPA to stop Monsanto and Dow Chemical from poisoning us with dioxin.<\/p>\n
