[ad_1] Syngenta and its predecessors knew of paraquat’s neurological dangers since the 1950s, yet suppressed evidence and manipulated research for decades to protect profits, mirroring Big Pharma’s tactics to discredit natural alternatives and hide deadly product risks. The EPA reversed its own 2019 recommendation to ban paraquat after relying on industry-funded data from Syngenta’s advocacy group, repeating the same corrupt pattern seen with toxic vaccines and other chemicals where agency officials profit over public health. Farmworkers exposed to paraquat face 2.5 times higher Parkinson’s risk, and living near sprayed fields increases odds by 91%—yet the agency continues re-registering this poison…

[ad_1] This week, police in Mississippi shot into a car, trying to stop a fleeing suspect. In the process, they killed a 1-year-old boy and put his aunt in the hospital. The scenario is tragic, but it’s especially galling because in this case, what brought officers to the scene in the first place was a report of stolen diapers. On Sunday, police responded to a call about a possible shoplifter at a Walmart in Senatobia, Mississippi. “Officers said they encountered two adults and a small child running from the building and getting into a vehicle,” reports Fox13. Cellphone footage from…

[ad_1] Give at least a couple of cheers for coercive diplomacy, which is to say diplomacy through bombing. As the Prussian military strategist Carl von Clausewitz told us a couple hundred years ago, “war is the continuation of politics,” or diplomacy, “by other means.” Last week’s bombing may well have finally pushed Iran and all their internal factions to at least signing a memo of understanding that represents at least the beginning of the end of the war. President Trump is a master at coercive diplomacy. He’s also a master of psychological warfare diplomacy with his threats to destroy Iran’s…

[ad_1] The head of a Maine conservative news outlet said Graham Platner, the Democrat running to represent the state in the Senate, is lying about his blue-collar oyster farming job. In a June 5 Fox News appearance, Maine Wire Editor-in-Chief Steven Robinson told Laura Ingraham that Platner’s business is “a campaign prop.” “The oyster business, totally fake,” said Robinson, whose outlet was founded in 2011 by the conservative think tank Maine Policy Institute.  “There’s no oystermen in Maine … And if you look at the date [when] his fake oyster business was created, it was created after ‘Graham for Maine,’…

[ad_1] Happy Tuesday, and welcome to another edition of Rent Free.  It’s election day here in D.C., so our lead story looks at the district’s mayoral race, where the two leading candidates both talk a good game on building more housing, but also have some anti-supply skeletons in their closets.  Additionally, the newsletter includes stories on: Yet another church being told its homeless shelter violates the local zoning code An inventive challenge to city-sponsored affordable housing in Phoenix, Arizona A new federal bill that would suspend “Buy America” requirements for federally funded housing developments Today, Washington, D.C., voters head to…

[ad_1] It is unsurprising that generative AI is being used to churn out atrocity propaganda to manufacture consent for imperial war projects, because these new technologies lend themselves perfectly to the task of creating realistic-looking video footage of events which never transpired. Reading by Tim Foley: Another AI atrocity propaganda project about Iran has been unleashed, this time in the form of a movie titled “Dreams of Violets” at the Tribeca film festival. Variety calls the flick “the first full-length, live-action film generated by AI to be accepted by a major film festival,” describing the plot as follows: “The film, which will…
