a month ago -

In an official reply to the United States concerning the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), Mexico argued that the presence of glyphosate on U.S. corn renders it unsafe and thus unfit for human consumption, citing actual science showing the dangers of glyphosate and GMOs.

The U.S. is trying to strong-arm Mexico into taking its toxic GMO corn, but our neighbors to the south are insistent that they will not poison their people with glyphosate-laden corn grown in the U.S....

Over the last four years, beginning in January 2020, "the deliberate triggering of chaos" became part of a broad ...

RNA, DNA contamination in food supply MUCH WORSE than you probably think

These RNA and DNA jabs, as they are more accurately called, are being administered both to people and animals in the modern age. And the RNA and DNA residues that end up making their way into the foods that people eat is perhaps more serious of a threat to public health than anything else currently in circulation.

The World Health Organization (WHO) created a "DNA vaccines" information page on its website that explains in further detail how these injections work. One ...

August 23, 2023 -

Following two-and-a-half months of failed negotiations, U.S. overlords are calling for the creation of a dispute settlement panel under a North American trade deal to try to strongarm Mexico into accepting the toxic corn.

Technocracy News wrote that during this time, the majority of rural Ukrainians, who were independent small-scale ...
