All of us are being fatally poisoned

If it was revealed that we -- all of us, some more than others, but all of us were being fatally poisoned, with millions of deaths already, and billions more deaths in the pipeline, don't you think that would be news?
Don't you think that, in its universally mortal effect, it would be such big news that it would push all other news items out of the public awareness? Wouldn't you think that no one would rest comfortably until this mass murderous assault was stopped and the injured helped?
Guess again.
André Cicolella, writing in Le Monde (English translation available at TruthOut) explores this conundrum in the context of a discussion of European Union political corruption. In the US we have the corruption but not the discussion, at least not in major news outlets comparable to Le Monde. Google "body burden" to discover that the scenario outlined above (and in Cicolella's article) is exactly what is happening to us.
Arguably, this is the most important under reported news story in history. It is the biggest item of unknown news that I am aware of.
For those who don't want to do the research themselves, I recommend going to the Environmental Working Group and get informed about your fate, and the fate of everyone you love, under this poisoning attack.
I do have a couple of additions to the story that rarely surface in any sources I am aware of.
First, all the "science" on the subject is virtually irrelevant to the actual situation. The big truth is that we are not dealing with individual poisons with easily studied effects. All the "science," out of experimental and epidemiological necessity, deals with the effects of single pollutants, whereas we are all being effected by a "soup" of pollutants that have unexplored, and unexplorable, effects when combined.
This is the real problem. It can only be dealt with by decreasing or eliminating ALL suspect substances simultaneously.
The only "evidence" we can ever have that the measures taken were the right ones will be a decrease in the extreme cancer epidemic (read the article on this) and endocrine disruptions that afflict the world. In light of this, dealing with global warming looks like very low hanging fruit, if not ground fall fruit.
Second, there is some poetic justice here. Your body burden, the degree of poisoning you have be subjected to, is directly related to the degree of industrial development where you live.
The intense irony here is the the "underdeveloped" world is charging full bore into industrial culture. With any (bad) luck the poor and downtrodden will soon enjoy the same levels of poisoning, and the mortal effects thereof, as their more economically "fortunate" neighbors here in the industrialized countries.
Why are we not talking about this?!

We are all chemically contaminated
by André Cicolella, Le Monde
... When one out of two men, one out of three women, today is affected by cancer, it's no exaggeration to talk about an epidemic. Certainly, it's not as visible as the epidemic of the plague. The victims don't die on the street, but the tribute exacted is heavy, with 150,000 deaths a year in France. Risk factors other than chemical substances are implicated (diet, tobacco use ...), but with the evaluation of chemical substances, we know for certain that we can dry up a part of the source of these chronic illnesses. Moreover, it is unacceptable that this public health imperative not be imposed upon the chemical industry. The volume of chemical substances at a global level has gone from 1 million tons during the 1930s to 400 million tons today! The chemical industry has thus put on the market - without evaluating them - substances that will sometimes be withdrawn once the damage to the population's health is assessed. That's the "proof by people" to demonstrate toxicity that was the rule at the end of many long years. Still, that's only the case for a minority of substances, since for 97% of the substances data is incomplete or nonexistent. Today, virtually the entire population is impregnated with a certain number of substances, some of which are toxic to development or carcinogenic. Numerous epidemiological and toxicological data show the link between this generalized chemical pollution and the growth of modern epidemics. ... more ... |
