Hello John and Doves,
Another ugly face of
corporate greed and deception.
Glyphosate is back in the
news. This was originally produced by Monsanto and
used in their herbicide, Roundup. Monsanto genetically
modified crop seeds (called "Roundup Ready") to 'tolerate
glyphosate'. Farmers can use their seeds and still
spray weeds with glyphosate. How convenient.
These genes are patented. There is much 'controversy'
surrounding the safety of using genetically modified seeds.
Bayer acquired Monsanto in
2018. There have been thousands of lawsuits filed
against Bayer due to "Roundup causing cancer". Bayer
has paid out billions in damages so far...and there may be
many more lawsuits coming following the exposure of
Monsanto's deception: We
were told that Roundup (weed killer), manufactured by
Monsanto, "poses no carcinogenic risk to humans".
It's safe for mammals, birds, fish. It's
biodegradable. It has no safety issues for humans.
"In June 2020, Bayer agreed
to settle more than a hundred thousand Roundup lawsuits,
agreeing to pay $8.8 to $9.6 billion to settle those claims
and $1.5 billion for future claims." To prevent more
claims, Bayer lobbied Congress to "change legal standards
for pesticides labeling in an attempt to reduce its
liability. As of 2024, the EPA planned to reevaluate
regulations in 2026." "In May 2025, Bayer announced
that it was making another push to settle the pending
lawsuits and that is would consider a Chapter 11 bankruptcy
for its Monsanto division..."
Right now, Bayer is
moving forward with the Supreme Court - hoping the SC will
stop the Roundup cancer lawsuits. Bayer is saying
that if the FDA doesn't have a particular warning on a
pesticide, that the manufacturer can't put that warning on
their label without EPA approval.

I remember that it was Bayer
that manufactured Zyklon B (used in the gas chambers in WWII
by the Nazis)...is was originally used as a pesticide; later
is was used as a deadly chemical in the Holocaust. "A
senior Bayer official oversaw the chemical factory in
Auschwitz III.." The Nuremberg Code came about due in
a big part to the "involuntary experimentation conducted by
Bayer in the concentration camp system". Bayer

IF a manufacturer knows
their pesticide is a carcinogen and harmful to humans,
animals, fish, birds, etc...they should be bound by law to
report that on their label. IMO. But then that
would mean they LIED to the FDA in getting their product
approved/registered. And now the Solicitor General has
come out in support of Bayer's petition to the Supreme
Court. I wonder how much stock he owns?? Stock
prices jumped 12.1% after the Solicitor General 'reviewed'
Roundups case.
This is a HUGE case for the
Supreme Court. And the Trump administration is
supporting Bayer. Stock prices are the highest in the
last 17 years.
Anyone think companies like
this have any consideration for the consumer/public??
And now, the journal that
published the paper about Roundup's 'safety', "Regulatory
Toxicology and Pharmacology", has retracted it. This is HUGE
news. Unfortunately, regulatory decisions concerning
glyphosate/Roundup were made based upon the lies in the
paper. Millions of people and animals has been exposed
to this.
There have been numerous
papers/research on the effects of glyphosate and health
affects on humans. And many countries have banned
and/or severely restricted its use.
Will the FDA follow up on
this 'retraction' and add "cancer" to the warnings on this
produce? Right now, the FDA reports "glyphosate is
unlikely to be a human carcinogen". Maybe the FDA will
wait for the SC ruling. Which is wrong on so many
levels. The FDA should have moved on this decades
ago! Before all the cancer cases went to court and
WON!!
Just recently another
research article was published on the carcinogenic effects
of glyphosate - this is just one of hundreds: The
journal of "Environmental Health" in June 2025 published an
article titled: "Carcinogenic effects of long-term
exposure from prenatal life to glyphosate and
glyphosate-based herbicides in Sprague-Dawley rats."
(see info on this paper below)
Was the FDA paid off to turn
a blind eye to the detrimental health effects of
glyphosate? Will the new FDA put out a warning now???
Glyphosate/Roundup
"Safety" Study Retracted After 25 Years of Deception:
And after all of these
years, the safety review, written by Monsanto employees, has
been retracted by the Journal that published it. The
"Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology" has formally
retracted the landmark 2000 glyphosate "safety" review by
Williams, Kroes, and Munro - a paper Monsanto and global
regulators have relied on for decades to assert that Roundup
poses no carcinogenic risk to humans."
"The retraction states that
the article's integrity has collapsed entirely, citing
undisclosed corporate authorship, omitted
carcinogenicity data, financial conflicts of
interest, and a complete failure by the surviving author to
respond to the journal's investigation."
The article "Safety
Evaluation and Risk Assessment of the Herbicide Roundup and
Its Active Ingredient, Glyphosate, for Humans" states
"Reviews on the safety of glyphosate and Roundup herbicide
that have been conducted by several regulatory agencies and
scientific institutions worldwide have concluded that there
is no indication of any human health concern." After
"comprehensive safety evaluation and risk assessment for
humans"..."it was concluded that Roundup and its components
do not post a risk of the production of heritable/somatic
mutations in humans...and studies has failed to demonstrate
any tumorigenic potential for glyphosate...it was concluded
that glyphosate is noncarcinogenic." It is not
"teratogenic or developmentally toxic. There were no
effects on fertility of reproductive parameters."
There were no observable adverse-effect levels were
identified..."
"Roundup herbicide does not
pose a health risk to humans."
The retraction came about
due to the authors ignoring mouse and rat carcinogenicity
studies that existed at the time. And
litigation records showed that Monsanto employees co-wrote
portions of the paper. And "the authors appear to
have received direct compensation from Monsanto for
producing the paper." The paper was not
written independently of Monsanto as the public was led to
believe.
"This paper heavily
influenced global risk assessments - including U.S., EPA,
WHO/FAO and Health Canada evaluations - setting the tone for
"glyphosate is safe" messaging for more than two decades."
"European and U.S. officials
have not classified it as a carcinogen, while the World
Health Organization deemed it "probably carcinogenic to
humans" in 2015." The "Regulatory Toxicology and
Pharmacology" journal "it has lost confidence in the results
and conclusions of this article and believes that the
retraction of this article is necessary to maintain the
integrity of the journal."
Here is the retraction:
And here is an article
(referred to above) on carcinogenic effects: The
researchers found "multiple benign and malignant tumors" in
rats...."Early-life onset and mortality were observed for
multiple tumors." They reported that "our data
are consistent with epidemiological evidence on the
carcinogenicity of glyphosate and GBHS."
The researchers found
leukemia, various skin cancers, liver, thyroid, pancreas and
bone cancer and tumors in multiple organs, the pancreas,
adrenal glands, uterus and CNS.
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) classified glyphosate as likely not
carcinogenic to humans and they have not put out a cancer
warning. Our HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr has
considered glyphosate a substance that has contributed to
making Americans chronically ill.
"Kennedy has long opposed
pesticides, having helped with a 2018 lawsuit filed against
Monsanto, the original producer of Roundup."
Many farmers rely on
pesticides, like glyphosate, for crop production.
But they need to know what has happened with the 'safety'
record of this product. (Many may use Bayer's
genetically modified 'glyphosate safe' seed!)
This is HUGE news that the
journal of "Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology"
retracted their 'safety' paper on glyphosate/Roundup.
Monsanto and Bayer have failed to warn the public
that glyphosate causes cancer. They have
falsified reports and mislead consumers with their
advertising. It is not "environmentally
friendly" or "safe for mammals, birds and fish". And
it is not "biodegradable". They have shown a
'lack of concern about the risk of this product.'
Yet...."The Trump
administration has urged the U.S. Supreme Court to side with
Bayer's case aimed at stopping thousands of cancer lawsuits
over its Roundup weedkiller." They are fighting for
"food security in America." "Bayer argues it can't be
sued for leaving off a cancer warning the federal government
never required, and the Trump administration agrees."
Bayer CEO Bill
Anderson said "Glyphosate has been tested and found safe
by every major food regulator, safety regulator in the
world." Trump's support of Bayer has caused
the stock to rich its highest point in years.
Anderson is a liar - many
countries have banned its use or severely restricted its
use: It is banned in Bahrain, Kuwait, United Arab
Emirates, Oman, Qatar, St. Vincent and Grenadines, Saudi
Arabia, Scotland, Spain, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Luxembourg,
Germany, Malawi, Mexico, Greece and 9 other EU countries
have banned glyphosate. Many countries have severe
restrictions - such as it can't be used in public places or
sold to individuals.
I am of the opinion that
just because the government hasn't labeled a product for a
particular health concern, like it is carcinogenic, doesn't
mean the manufacturer is free of any liability when they
KNOW their product causes health issues. And these
manufacturers are suppose to report their testing to the FDA
- all of their testing and not cover up the
'problems'. Monsanto lied about the safety of
glyphosate. Now they want the lawsuits stopped or
curtailed. They should be held accountable.
And Bayer's stock has
"surged 101.3%" year to date. They are making money
hand over fist. Selling questionably tested new drugs,
recently approved by the FDA. How can we trust
anything Bayer says about their new drugs at this point???
I'll be watching for the
Supreme Court's ruling on this.
Pray for the peace of
Jerusalem!
Maranatha!
