deprogrammingthelattice:“A new court filing made on behalf of dozens of people claiming Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide gave them cancer includes information about alleged efforts within the Environmental Protection Agency to protect Monsanto’s interests and unfairly aid the agrichemical industry. The filing includes what the attorneys represent to be correspondence from 30-year career EPA scientist, Marion Copley, accusing top-ranking EPA official Jess Rowland of playing “your political conniving games with the science” to favor pesticide manufacturers such as Monsanto. Rowland oversaw the EPA’s cancer assessment for glyphosate, the key ingredient in Monsanto’s weed-killing products, and was a key author of a report finding glyphosate was not likely to be carcinogenic. But in the correspondence, EPA toxicologist Copley cites evidence from animal studies and writes: “It is essentially certain that glyphosate causes cancer.” She accuses Rowland of having “intimidated staff” to change reports to favor industry, and writes that research on glyphosate, the key ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup, shows the pesticide should be categorized as a “probable human carcinogen.” The International Agency for Research on Cancer, an arm of the World Health Organization, declared as much - that glyphosate was a probable human carcinogen - in March 2015 after reviewing multiple scientific studies. The EPA bureaucrats are LYING. EPA should be called the MPA, Monsanto Protection Agency. To think our tax dollars are being spent for this. Officials and scientists within the EPA that are found to be colluding with Monsanto and the chemical industry need to be FIRED and JAILED. Secret documents and communications between the EPA and Monsanto need to be made public. And Jess Rowland needs to be deposed for questioning and then jailed for conspiring with Monsanto against the People of the USA.
