Is Corexit Destroying Our Food Supply?
First we lost the fish, shrimp and other marine life in the Gulf of Mexico, to the BP oil catastrophe and ensuing massive dump of the neuro-toxic dispersant Corexit. Now we appear to be losing crops from the Mississippi Gulf Coast to middle Georgia. Watch these two videos. Surely there are bugs and diseases that hit agricultural crops, but the crop damage in the two videos from hundreds of miles apart look similar, and both are claimed to have happened soon after recent heavy rainfall from the Gulf of Mexico.
Do we have agriculture experts researching? Have any watched this that can offer a good explanation? Auburn University has a University Agricultural Experimentation Station in Fairhope, AL, one mile off Mobile Bay. If something were happening to crops in the area, I’d think someone there would know it and be studying/testing. It’s highly suspect, but I’m the first to admit that I am not a plant expert so can’t begin to make an assessment. See for yourself:

Update: added on July 7 from Florida. I don’t know about the leaves, but the grass spots do look very similar to the prior two videos.

Dr. Riki Ott, along with many others are saying people in certain areas along the Gulf Coast need to evacuate immediately. The reason? The chemical dispersant Corexit, mixed with the already toxic South Louisiana Crude, is making people sick. These aren’t temporary illnesses that will go away and leave no impact. According to EPA’s Hugh
EPA’s PR Stunts

EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson (who should have been fired already) tweeted a link to USA Today’s “article” on the EPA dispersant “studies”. Essentially, USA Today published a carefully worded press release on behalf of the EPA, making it look as though it is reporting real news. Please take note: this is little more than
EPA Cover Up? Say It Ain’t So!

Anyone who follows CTGN knows that I routinely call EPA out for obvious and blatant disregard for actual human health and safety. The “P” in EPA likely refers to protecting themselves against liability, by lying and covering up what they actually know, and has little or nothing to do with protecting the environment, let alone

WKRG in Mobile, AL did their own independent water sampling along Gulf Shores and Orange Beach areas. You have to watch the video below to believe what they found and what happened to one of their samples (complete summary follows). Remember in Gulf Beaches: Public Health At Risk how we told you that you (and

In the video below Andy Nyman, Associate Professor at LSU, highlights a prior study done on Corexit 9500 and 9527, the two varieties of Nalco dispersant being used by BP in the Gulf of Mexico oil catastrophe. Nyman’s study shows these two forms of Corexit cut the marine life survival rate in half over South

“It’s more efficient to change your politician than to change your light bulb.” Fantastic insights and a call to action here from Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. My thanks to Casi Callaway and Tammy Herrington at Mobile Baykeeper for making this interview opportunity possible. Here is a clip of Kennedy, answering my question about what people

I can corroborate the activity at the location noted in this video from James C Fox. My entire life I have driven the “back roads” of Baldwin County to the beach. I know County Roads 65 and 12 like the back of my hand. When I was home a few weeks ago I drove that

This post is written by Pam Brundige Batson, who lives in Mobile, AL. Pam attended last week’s community meeting, hosted by Dr. Riki Ott and Dr. Steven Picou. This is a critical summary of information every one of you must know – especially if you live anywhere near the Gulf coast. Pam’s note begins now

We all feel reassured when we hear that NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service is doing comprehensive testing on the seafood that is being sold from the open waters in the Gulf of Mexico. We trust NOAA to place our health first, right? Sadly, like so many things in the wake of this oil spill, we’re

I told you in a prior post about my meeting with Dr. Riki Ott, and how she explained to us what she determined to be the underlying source of the problem with getting the dispersant Corexit banned: [Dr. Ott] explained that there is a process by which dispersants gain approval from the EPA. This process
