Cancer survivor
At age 19, I was diagnosed
with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
I did not drink or smoke.
The doctors said:
“We don’t know what causes cancer.”
Allopathic treatment: Cut, Burn, and Poison
Cost of “treatment:” $50,000 in 1988

Definition:
• Modus Operandi
• Hidden agenda
• No empathy
• No remorse
• Covert attacks
• Repetition of crimes
and methodology
Epidemic of Disease:
• 40.58% of men and
women born today will
be diagnosed with
cancer at some time
during their lifetime
• This number can also
be expressed as 1 in 2
SOURCE: Center for Disease Control
Epidemic of Disease:
The Big 3:
Cancer
Diabetes
Heart Disease
My theory:
“The Big 3 have been steadily
increasing since the Industrial
Revolution due to persistent
organic pollutants and heavy
metals. This is an Epidemic of
Toxicity.”
-Gary Prusaitis, 2010
The Monsanto Company
• Is a multinational
agricultural
biotechnology
corporation
• Largest global producer
of the herbicide
glyphosate
• Genetic engineering
• 90% of GMO market
• PR & Marketing
Marketing Genuis
• Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde Public Relations

• Aggressively reframed opposition slogan, Imagine
• National Public Radio’s largest advertising client?
• NPR “news coverage” of Monsanto now omits health hazards

Persistent Organic Pollutants
What are POPs?
• Resist degradation
• Fat soluble
• Bioaccumulate in fat tissues
• Biomagnify in food chains, especially in
larger fish and animals
• Include pesticides, solvents, PVC, and
pharmaceuticals
• Frequently halogenated with chlorine
• Endocrine disruptors
• Hormone imbalancers
• Carcinogenic
•
DDT
persistent organic pollutant
• extremely hydrophobic
• binds strongly with soils
• contains chlorine
• half life: 10-30 years
• Biomagnifies in food chain
• very lipophilic & fat soluble
• resists metabolism
• CDC detected in all blood samples
• Toxic to fish, birds, & animals
• Carcinogenic
• Banned by Congress in 1972, but only
domestically; DDT is still legally sold
outside the US for crops shipped back to
the USA
• “Conventionally grown” produce may
contain DDT
Bush Connections:
Skull and Bones
Illuminati conspiracy to
poison human
population?
AGENT ORANGE
• Vietnam War
• 20 million gallons
• contains Dioxin
a known carcinogen
• no disclosure of
potential hazards
• birth defects
Operation Ranch Hand
• According to my interviewee,
Vietnam veteran Daniel
Juarez, grunts and pilots who
handled or sprayed the often
unmarked 55-gallon drums of
QuickTime™ and a
decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
Agent Orange were not
advised to wear protection. “I
would have worn gloves and
a poncho if I had known it
would cause all of these
tumors. I was not told about
any potential dangers.”
Monsanto’s Legacy:
Teratogenesis
Monsanto’s Liability:
• Veterans and their families
received a one-time lump
sum payment of $1,200.
• The 2005 lawsuit filed by the
Vietnamese Association for
Victims of Agent Orange
against Monsanto was
dismissed without action.
• Children of veterans with
cancer, diabetes, and birth
defects have no legal
recourse against Monsanto
for product liability. WHY?
What is Dioxin?
• 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzodioxin

What is glyphosate?
• N-phosphonomethyl

spectrum systemic
herbicide used to kill
weeds, especially
perennials
• RoundUp
What is glyphosate?
