Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 So the gatekeepers of science seem to be claiming that something which is known to be toxic in a war situation (biowarfare- i.e. mycotoxin uses in Iraq and as 'yellow rain') is not toxic in an economic situation. (the marketing of unsafe housing) What I'd like to know is how the powers that be pull this off, if indeed the scientific community is falling for it. I'm still a bit fuzzy on what is actually happening, perhaps because I've been blessed to have spoken at length about this subject with, at this point, many scientists.. who all use the same hushed, somewhat quiet tone of voice to tell me that yes, indeed, mycotoxins in the home or work environment can and do cause serious health effects. But the leaders of these oft-quoted 'official' organizations have far more to lose by NOT acknowledging this - actually, we all do.. not just Americans, everybody in the world.. because it costs just as much to feed an injured person as a whole one.. but that person delivers far less for that 'cost'. My guess is that the powers that be are so fixated on the (IMO, nowhere near as important) costs of FIXING the problem, instead of the OH SO VERY MUCH GREATER costs of NOT fixing the problem and allowing millions of Americans to suffer for another five or ten years before things start getting done on a massive scale about it. (thats how long the situations with asbestos and lead in paints took) The net effect of this situation is to keep more poor people poor, and not so much to keep rich people rich.. because bluntly, you can't look at this situation on a country-by-country basis anymore, its a global imperative. In other words, its not a zero sum game with each 'win' accompanied by a 'lose'. We all win when public health is improved.. everybody wins when another year goes by without a world war.. when another year passes without a global epidemic. That allows our society to move more towards being a meritocracy and away from being an oligarchy.. more towards being (imagine that) a place where initiative and intelligence is truly rewarded and less towards being a place where luck and wealth determines who lives a glorious and stimulating long life and who dies at age two, of a disease that could have been cured for fifteen cents. Or is that what 'they' are afraid of? Doesn't this situation beg that question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 ---from dates on old studies, exc. I'd say this has been a heated subject sence the late 80's, early 1990's, we are way past the 10 year mark, and there is something very wrong about this. used in biochemicals for warfare and they want the world to believe its harmless. whats wrong with this picture. and with reading older studies its like it was right there at our fingertips, than someone did some serious back stepping. throw in a biased rat study and add 10 more years of suffering.
