    Default EPA says Glyphosate safe

    Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking an important step in the agency’s review of glyphosate. As part of this action, EPA continues to find that there are no risks to public health when glyphosate is used in accordance with its current label and that glyphosate is not a carcinogen. The agency’s scientific findings on human health risk are consistent with the conclusions of science reviews by many other countries and other federal agencies.

    Yeah, but two juries of our peers said it does cause cancer. So checkmate.

    “If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”
    -Samuel Adams

    I remember when the sales folks use to say it was safe enough to drink.

    Are they still doing that?
    Yup, he's crazy...


    like a fox. The dude may be coming in a little too hard and crazy but 90% of everything he says is correct.

    Sort of like Toof. But way smarter.

    Globalresearch is an "anti-Western" website that can't distinguish between serious analysis and discreditable junk — and so publishes both. It's basically the moonbat equivalent to Infowars or WND.

    While some of GlobalResearch's articles discuss legitimate humanitarian concerns, its view of science, economics, and geopolitics is conspiracist — if something goes wrong, the Jews West didit! The site has long been a crank magnet: If you disagree with "Western" sources on 9/11, or HAARP, or vaccines, or H1N1, or climate change, or anything published by the "mainstream" media, then GlobalResearch is guaranteed to have a page you will love.

    The website (under the domain names globalresearch.ca(link), globalresearch.org(link), globalresearch.com(link), and sister site mondialisation.ca(link)) is run by the Montreal-based non-profit The Centre for Research on Globalisation (CRG) founded by Michel Chossudovsky,[2][3] a former professor of economics at the University of Ottawa, Canada.[4]

    Whenever someone makes a remarkable claim and cites GlobalResearch, they are almost certainly wrong.
    Michel Chossudovsky (born 1946) is a Canadian economist, author and conspiracy theorist.[1][2] He is professor emeritus of economics at the University of Ottawa[3][4] and the president and director of the Centre for Research on Globalization, which publishes conspiracy theories.[5][6][7][8] Chossudovsky has promoted 9/11 conspiracy theories.[9][10][11][12]

    In 2017, the Centre for Research on Globalization was accused by NATO information warfare specialists of playing a key role in the spread of pro-Russian propaganda.[6]
    Martin luther king Jr. was murdered in his hospital room by J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI and not, as is commonly accepted, by a gunman dead set against the civil-rights leader’s crusade. Israel has plans to annex large swaths of Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. The American military is dispersing heavy metals in the skies, giving the public cancer and asthma. And of course, the World Trade Center buildings were not brought down by commercial airliners but by controlled demolition.
    Those are all uncontroversial realities for the Centre for Research on Globalization, a Canadian-based conspiracy website run, since 2001, by Michel Chossudovsky, professor emeritus of economics from the University of Ottawa, who is also one of the site’s most prolific writers.
    Back in 2006, the now defunct Western Standard magazine listed him as one of Canada’s “nuttiest professors.” A year prior, B’nai Brith Canada filed a complaint against Chossudovsky to the University of Ottawa for the anti-Semitism of some of the Centre for Research on Globalization’s online content. (The university did not comment on the complaint, and Chossudovsky distanced himself from some of the content on the site, which he says he did not post and does not condone.)
    And yet the site is still around, at globalresearch.ca, churning out stories. While it was once a joke, an example of Canada’s truther far left, the Centre for Research on Globalization has now gained new relevance, situated somewhere in the bizarre alt-right and fake-news ecosystem that has become relevant since President Donald Trump’s rise to power. Website-ranking service Alexa estimates that the site pulls in roughly 1 million page views per month.
    On its face, the website looks like a news site. The site bills itself as “an independent research and media organization based in Montreal,” featuring current events, research, videos, and a radio show. (It’s not clear where the project gets its money, though Chossudovsky issued a call for donations in October, citing “financial difficulties.”)But unlike some other conspiracy and fake-news websites, Chossudovsky’s platform, and its tens of thousands of dubious articles and blog posts, is considered a news site by Google—meaning it attracts visitors hoping for an update on current affairs.

    -This is excerpts from, like, the top 3 google results when I searched for globalresearch.ca. I don't even care to format them or even link the articles.

    The LD50 of Roundup is over 5000mg/kg. The LD50 of Caffine or Asprin is less than 200mg/kg

    So it could be said it is safer to drink than caffeine

    Bayer is standing behind the research data that the product is safe and working to indemnify the distributors who sell the product
