Great news! Huge settlement for over1,085 nationwide water systems last October should blow Syngenta out a the water.
Another clear demonstration of what people in government , and "lawyers" can do.
There are good people scattered everywhere. But mostly I am grateful for the conscience I received from my ancestors.
Years ago, when we were building our hydro electric system intake 1500ft up Anahola valley, a plum tree was near the flow of the water and I was urged by John Wherheim, who at the time was misrepresenting himself as a hydroelectric engineer, that "a little atrizine would take care of that."
My ancestral DNA went off although I just recently found out why, Aside from being the furthest one up the valley thereby potentially poisoning the entire Anahola watershed.
I am Hebrew. Wherheim is German . It has now been documented that these poison companies are the same ones that made the poison that the Germans used to kill millions of people in the gas chambers in WWII.
So I am very grateful. I don't know how I could have lived with myself if I would have allowed myself to be intimidated by a German and poured atrazine into Anahola Stream. God of the universe, God of our ancestors thank you for bringing us to this day!
Aloha and keep up the good work everyone,
