Brings so many threads together. As someone who spent a lot of time in the anti-GMO movement (called "low-level terrorism" by Homeland Security, for reasons this piece explains well), I knew how regulations were "relaxed" when there's US $ to be made, and the v is a textbook example of that. The common thread is that our reason for being is to soak up the garbage products generated from these predatory global multi-nationals--doesn't matter whether they're healthy, lethal, or otherwise. We're receptacles for their products, nothing more. People have the quaint idea that we're the "customer" and that they'd never knowingly kill their customers. We're more like the bacteria released to mop up an oil spill by eating all the oil.

I had exactly the same feeling - of threads being drawn together.

You have read Toby Rogers' uTobian substack I expect? Where he points out that the USA is now an economy dependent on the infinitely recursive pharmaceutical product-harm circuit.

Yes, I agree. Sick customers are the perfect business model. It's not so much a conspiracy as it is good (amoral) business.

It's unthinkable, and yet it's happening. Mexico has been resisting the US's genetically engineered versions of corn, their staple crop, for many years, but I just read last week they're starting to lose the battle. We're definitely on the losing side of this thing, but we can't give up.
