I have learned to use as little as possible chemicals around the home. My weedkiller is 1 Gallon of vinegar and 6 oz of Dove dishwasher detergent. Removes the wax coating from weeds and they loose their water and die. Was reacquainted with a farmer friend I have not seen in 30 years.
Unfortunately, his body is covered with fatty tumors because of exposure to farm chemicals. Determining that glyphosates are protected under national security is a major con job and reflects on the duplicity from DC no matter who is in the Whitehouse.
Dr, Malone, are you going to send this post to President Trump? I think I will send it to my Congressional rep and to one of my state Senator. I will not bother sending it to Thom Tillis because he is an idiot and votes the wrong way on everything. I think he takes a lot of pharma money and probably glyphosphate money, and was one of the ones who prevented us from passing the SAVE act, probably got paid to block that also. But I will send this to Rep. Pat Harrigan and NC Senator Budd, just not the RINO who did not run for re-election so he's almost finished. His term expires very soon though not soon enough for me. But I wish you would make sure the President sees what you wrote. He needs to understand this.
Just reading the title and intro, let alone the whole darn history, indicates what should and is known about how the plants as well as human bodies develop resistance to the effectiveness of chemical and antibiotic use. Knowledge is pushed aside for profit and propaganda. This isn't just ignorance, it's outright deception, using fear as the catalyst. We pay the price in so many ways, while the profiteers keep the pressure on. This is what the Earth, Soil, Water, Animals and Humans suffer from being naive. What a shame.
This information was available long ago. I'm not sure when humans (even began) woke up, but still did not do anything to correct it. There were a few...like Kennedy, the River Keepers, Sierra Club (way back), and other environmental groups over the years. Things are not going to change over night, now that earth is in the 4th Dimension, but I'm so pleased that it seems to have begun in earnest. Thank God!
Thank you very much on this thorough analysis and recommendations! One hopes our new legislatures will support or at least not obstruct progress relating to these issues.
Not being really familiar with all the details I'm wondering - for small operations - whether 2 - 4 small free ranging pigs might help.
Humor aside and as relates to your earlier investigations, I read this morning that Wiles son-in-law is busy deleting his linkedin pages relating his successes in impacting agricultural legislation. You are so right about the need for lobbying reform.
My only thought re growing season reforms to reduce weed issues is that sophisticated equipment can be cost prohibitive. These impacts deserve some focus as well.
Next up for consideration end of season desiccants. To me they remain a concern since we are in undoubtedly consuming them, to our harm!
This story of weeds adapting to chemical interventions eerily mirrors the history of injectable immunization. 100 years of flu vaccines and we still have flu. Get your "Free" flu vaccine here. I so admire the largess or pharmaceutical companies for providing these influenza vaccines for "Free". COVID morphed from COVID 19 to any number of variants to finally COVID variant BS 24/7. Industry creates chemical symptom treatments, ( not cures ), for innumerable challenges because of our patent system. Patented products are miniature scale monopolies. Monopolies are illegal; patents are legal. So where would you expect industry and capitalism to go ? Pass laws that give industry liability immunity for the production of "vaccines" and what direction might industry take ?
It's easy to become dependent on chemicals; weed abatement and weed control has been the bane of farmers for many generations. But now we are in a vicious cycle that we cannot easily get out of.
Chemical companies, the best Bait and Switch tactics over 30 years! Bring on the lobby's and the "think tanks"...More Tax Dollars at work, lining Politicians pockets, and big everything! And now we can expect even more nonsense after 3 Jan 2027... "enemies both foreign and domestic"...
How do you keep up on the details of so many different topics? Every week your posts show me several month's worth of information I should know but can't keep up with.
A large local vegetable grower covers his rows with white plastic. I guess it for weeds. He puts videos on FB which shows how he does it. A machine behind a tractor mounds up the dirt and lays the plastic. It punches holes where the plants go. Workers ride on seats at ground level and push starter plants into the holes. There are drip hoses underneath. I always thought it was very expensive but his prices are high. He hauls vegetables to DC and charges the liberals high prices. He doesn't say it's organic but it pretty clean. During those late freezes earlier this year, they built fires and tended them all night to save about 25% of his peach crop. He brought apples in from central Va. to have something to sell. There were no apples or peaches this year.
I would like the idea, except for the plastic. Degradation under sun being mixed into the soil does not seem like a healthy option. Of course, the DC group is close to brain dead already, so...
Thank you for this very informative article. In my town I have seen once lush, green drainage ditches suddenly turn brown and dead, and I know they probably are using glyphosate or something like it. It probably poisons the water that birds and frogs depend on. I would like to give this article to our town council and county agriculture department. This is farming country, and maybe they could educate farmers about this.
Over the last 25 years, I have sprayed Roundup to control weeds in my gravel driveway. They are back within a few weeks. Instead, I fire up a propane ground torch and burn them away, just hoping some neighbor doesn't report me to the fire department. I always have a hose nearby. This technique works better, and the weeds haven't yet learned to be resistant to the power of good old FIRE.
Anyone not raising or growing their own food is in a perilous situation. You can hardly trust “organic” in food stores as they can use other pesticides that don’t harm their organic label. Find reputable small farms and butchers in your area to know what you’re eating or find yourself some land and copy what the Malone’s are doing. It will save your life.
Not to mention the consumers in grocery move the product all around. Unless you want to spend time looking at the bar code on labels to match to Organic (which I've done).
I’m so tired of seeing our local, state and federal governments run by people who care more about money than our children. We have a super weed growing in the swamp that’s DC and no way to stop it.
Thank you for this very informative article. Before listening to the article, I already knew glyphosate was a disaster in terms of ecology, food production, and human health. Now I know the situation is even worse than I thought it was.
I conclude that glyphosphate is bad, but so is ethoxyquin. We introduced kormolan & equinolan non toxic forms only to be rejected by Novus International & Monsanto.
We must think syncronically... Now lets examine all sides and end with synchronicity.
Bayer has a direct, documented historical connection to I.G. Farben, the German chemical conglomerate deeply implicated in Nazi Germany and the Holocaust.
But there are three separate issues worth examining: Bayer's history, Monsanto and glyphosate, and Dr Kapuler's observation that weeds can tell us something valuable about the soil.
1. Bayer and I.G. Farben: The historical connection
This is not speculation. Both Bayer and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum document the relationship.
* 1863: Bayer was founded in Germany.
* 1925: Bayer merged with BASF, Hoechst, and other German chemical companies to establish I.G. Farben. Bayer ceased operating as an independent corporation.
* 1933–1945: I.G. Farben became deeply involved in the Nazi war economy, exploited concentration camp prisoners as forced laborers, and operated industrial facilities associated with Auschwitz.
* 1947–1948: Executives of I.G. Farben were prosecuted at the Nuremberg trials.
* 1951: Bayer was reestablished as a separate company following the Allied breakup of I.G. Farben.
* 2018: Bayer acquired Monsanto, the company behind Roundup, for approximately $63 billion.
One particularly disturbing historical fact is that Fritz ter Meer, an I.G. Farben executive convicted of war crimes associated with Auschwitz, subsequently served as chairman of Bayer's supervisory board from 1956 to 1964. Holocaust Encyclopedia
So the accurate conclusion is that modern Bayer is a corporate successor to part of I.G. Farben, not that the two companies are literally the same legal entity today.
2. Glyphosate versus Monsanto and Bayer
The distinction between the chemical and the manufacturer raises a legitimate issue of corporate accountability.
Monsanto originally developed and commercialized glyphosate under the Roundup brand. Bayer subsequently acquired Monsanto in 2018.
However, we cannot conclude that glyphosate itself is harmless simply because the manufacturer has a troubling history.
Two major scientific authorities have reached different conclusions:
* The World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer classified glyphosate as probably carcinogenic to humans.
* The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has concluded that glyphosate is not likely to be carcinogenic to humans, while continuing to reassess the evidence.
These assessments use different methodologies and do not settle every question about exposure, formulation, or environmental effects.
Corporate conduct deserves independent scrutiny, including product testing, disclosure of risks, research transparency, marketing, and liability.
3. Weeds are indicators of soil conditions
This part has genuine agricultural merit.
University extension research confirms that weeds can indicate soil moisture, compaction, fertility, drainage, and other growing conditions.
For example:
Weed or vegetation ... Possible soil indication
Plantain ... Compacted soil
Horsetail ... Often associated with moist or poorly drained conditions
Red sorrel ... Often associated with acidic or nutrient-poor soil
Spurge ... Can indicate dry conditions, although it tolerates others
The University of Florida and North Carolina State Extension both caution that these are clues, not definitive soil diagnoses.
One important distinction: weeds may reveal which crops could be suited to particular conditions, but they do not necessarily identify the best companion crops. Some weeds also compete with crops for water, nutrients, and sunlight.
The better agricultural question may be:
Before destroying the weeds, should we first determine why those particular plants are thriving in that soil?
That approach could lead to better soil management, more appropriate cover crops, and less dependence on herbicides.
4. The larger issue
There is a meaningful historical progression worth examining:
I.G. Farben
1925 merger
Bayer
1951 reestablishment
Monsanto
2018 acquisition
This establishes corporate historical continuity, but it does not, by itself, establish that current Bayer management shares the intentions or conduct of I.G. Farben.
I think the more consequential question is:
Has industrial agriculture become excessively focused on eliminating unwanted plants rather than understanding what those plants reveal about soil health?
That question deserves serious consideration independently of Bayer's history.
My conclusion after years of study with Dr Alan "Mushroom" Kapuler differs from the mainstream opinions which I just shared.
Agriculture should be managed as a productive ecosystem, not a sterile manufacturing process.
The farmer should be rewarded for four outcomes simultaneously: productive harvests, healthier soil, functioning ecological relationships, and sustainable profitability.
And perhaps the most important principle is this:
A field that produces a harvest today while progressively losing the biological capacity to produce future harvests is not being managed successfully. It is consuming its own productive foundation.
A worthwhile step would be to design a working model for a real farm—showing which vegetation to preserve, which crops to rotate, and how to measure whether the change actually improves yield and profitability.
If we dont stop the use of chemicals then eventually the bees will disappear... we must protect the hive from bartenders, business people and nomads in order to protect humanity from its self destructive side.
So whos to blame?
I suggest its the voters who put bartenders, business people and nomads in the drivers seat.
Side note: you can see this for yourselves. We just put radical Muslims who support Hamas inside our house... see Ezekiel 7-23 (October 7th = 7th day of the week - 23rd day of Tishrei) last word in Hebrew is cHamas = violence in English. That violence isnt only against people, it wants to kill the hive. Kill the hive and there will be no crops left to eat.
See what the Jews left in Gush Katif and how long it took cHamas to destroy it... 6 months.
Its synchronicity... these are not standalone issues.
I have learned to use as little as possible chemicals around the home. My weedkiller is 1 Gallon of vinegar and 6 oz of Dove dishwasher detergent. Removes the wax coating from weeds and they loose their water and die. Was reacquainted with a farmer friend I have not seen in 30 years.

Maybe not so humorous. Remember reading about geese raised in china used for weeding gardens.
