A Third Of Global Farmland At ‘High’ Pesticide Pollution Risk by Kelly MacNamara

April 6, 2021 EarthNewspaper.com Comment(0)

A third of the planet’s agricultural land is at “high risk” of pesticide pollution from the lingering residue of chemical ingredients that can leach into water supplies and threaten biodiversity, according to research published Monday. The use of pesticides has soared globally as agricultural production has expanded, prompting growing fears over environmental damage and calls to cut hazardous chemical use. Researchers in Australia modelled pollution risk across 168 countries with data on the usage of 92 active pesticide ingredients and found “widespread global pesticide pollution risk”. They highlighted several acutely vulnerable ecosystems in South Africa, China, India, Australia and Argentina, at the nexus of high pollution risk, high water scarcity and high biodiversity. The study, published in Nature Geoscience, found that overall 64 percent of global agricultural land – approximately 24.5 million square kilometres (9.4 million sq miles) – was at risk of pesticide pollution from more than one active ingredient, and 31 percent is at high risk.

John Lennon was the greatest singer-songwriter and the most influential political artist of the twentieth century. He was assassinated on Monday, December 8, 1980, walking into the Dakota, his home on the upper West side of Manhattan, New York City. I was at the Dakota for nine hours that fateful night. I created this documentary to honor John. Strawberry Fields: Keeping The Spirit Of John Lennon Alive (Film) (1:22:08) Producer | Writer | Director: Mark R. Elsis Featuring: Crying For John Lennon by Hargo, Produced by Phil Spector and Graham Ward Released Online: April 1, 2020.

------------- Abortion -------------- ----------- by Mark R. Elsis ----------- Thou shalt not kill. Is there something people don't understand about the Sixth Commandment? I do not believe in government-sanctioned killing, whether it be abortion, capital punishment, or being drafted into a war. There have been about 70,000,000 abortions in the United States, since the despicable Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision on January 22, 1973, that approved this genocidal mass murder, called infanticide. Perhaps we should have informative sexual education classes for teenagers, and contraceptives for all. Perhaps people should live up to their obligations, instead of using abortion as an easy way out. Because abortion not only murders the fetus who has no say in the matter, but also does significant psychological harm to the mother, and many times for the father too. And now we have added two new demonic lows to this most horrific act of abortion, Planned Parenthood has been caught selling baby parts from the abortions they provide, and eight states have no gestational limits on abortion, they are: Alaska, Colorado, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, and Vermont, along with Washington, D.C. If one wants to know when the United States lost its way, and turned into a completely immoral country, it was on Monday, January 22, 1973.

"The USS Liberty was repeatedly attacked while in international waters by Israeli air and naval forces on June 8, 1967. The horrific result of this unprovoked attack by the Jewish state was that 34 Americans were murdered, and 174 were wounded. Then there was a complete cover-up of this premeditated mass murder, and for the first time in our history, there wasn't any retaliation against Israel for committing this act of war. And people naively still think we aren't owned by these deadly parasites." Mark R. Elsis

James Forrestal was of Irish Catholic origin like the Kennedy’s and was close to JFK’s father. Both James Forrestal and Joseph Kennedy are examples of American patriots of Irish stock who were alarmed by Jewish influence over American foreign policy. The entry for December 27, 1945, in James Forrestal’s edited diary states: “Played golf with Joe Kennedy. I asked him about his conversations with Roosevelt and Neville Chamberlain from 1938 on. […] Chamberlain, he says, stated that America and the world Jews had forced England into the war.”
