"The Idiot Cycle", A Film About Dioxin, Cancer and Failed Government

Emmanuelle Schick Garcia began investigating the subject of dioxin exposure cancer risk because of an encounter with cancer that demanded a substantive response. Her mother developed breast cancer despite having done everything right in so far as conventional knowledge on the subject of reducing breast cancer risk is concerned. She consumed a healthy diet. She was physically active. She did not smoke or drink. What Emmanuelle discovered was that dioxin exposures that take place every day in the lives of mothers and daughters are a significant contributing factor to breast cancer causation. Dioxins and dioxin-like compounds, including: furans and dioxin-like PCBs are contaminants of all animal fat regardless of where it is produced. Levels are higher when the food animals are raised in the vicinity of a dioxin source such as a metal smelter or incinerator. The Idiot Cycle portrayed in this film involves corporate profits from sales of poisons such as pesticides and industrial chemicals, which cause cancer, followed by further corporate profits from sales of cancer drugs all by the same corporations. Another Idiot Cycle involves corporate polluters making money off their polluting activities and eventually getting paid public money to clean up their polluted sites. We can break these Idiot Cycles by refusing to do business with corporations like Monsanto and Dow. Women can reduce their breast cancer risk and the breast cancer risk of their daughters by starting at an early age to limit their consumption of animal fat. By doing so they create a body that contains a body burden of dioxins and other carcinogenic persistent organic pollutants (POPs): polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), non dioxin-like PCBS, DDT, DDE, chlordane, pentachlorophenol, and numerous other chemical substances, which is much lower than were they to eat average amounts of animal fat. This is especially important for women to accomplish because it reduces the gestational exposure to POPs that is imposed upon their developing child. In animal studies, gestational dioxin exposure predisposes female offspring to increased breast cancer susceptibility and male offspring to increased prostate cancer susceptibility. These scientific research findings provide a plausible explanation of the breast cancer and prostate cancer cases that were first diagnosed in significant numbers among girls and boys in the 2000s. Emmanuelle made a documentary film to tell the world what she had learned about dioxin and cancer. “The Idiot Cycle” points out the conflicts of interest that exist on government advisory panels, which have a large role in establishing public health and environmental protection policies throughout the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) makes extensive use of such advisory panels. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is part of WHO. IARC advisory panels exert great amounts of control over what the world knows about pollution and cancer. It is the mandate of IARC to determine the carcinogenicity of chemical substances for the purpose of preventing the cancers caused by exposure to these chemicals. Cancer Action NY has conducted years of investigations into the workings of government concerning matters of dioxins, cancer, environmental protection and public health. We have found the Joint Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) to be a very corrupt entity. The Provisional Tolerable Monthly Intake (PTMI) for dioxins established by the JECFA in 2001 has no basis whatsoever in the scientific literature. The PTMI for dioxins merely serves to create the illusion that the food supply is safe, a message that the agriculture, chemical and food industries seek to convey to non-expert consumers around the world. Scientific research supports the conclusions that the food supply is contaminated with dioxins and other persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and that the degree of contamination imposes more than an acceptable quantity of cancer risk upon the average consumer of animal fat. Cancer Action NY has challenged the WHO and FAO to make use of science to prevent cancer by lowering the PTMI for dioxins so as to make this standard cancer protective. A lower PTMI would serve as a warning to consumers, which would motivate reduced consumption of animal fat.

Media Kills

For decades, scientifically-crafted techniques have been employed to shape our ideas and perceptions. Today billions of dollars are spent each year trying to get you to think, act, talk and dress in proscribed ways...and it is as successful as ever. This week on The Corbett Report we try to break out of the box by exposing the government/PR/media nexus for what it is.

BSTF 833 - SONG POEMS Pt 1

The first half of a rabid appreciation of the song poem—often referred to as “MSR music,” these are productions by those vanity-press companies whose ads you’d see in the back of TRUE DETECTIVE magazine that read “YOUR POEM SET TO MUSIC!” There were over 400,000 songs from these scattered studios, and there hasn’t been one hit—unless you count John Trubee’s immortal masterwork BLIND MAN’S PENIS, sung by old Nashville alky hack Ramsey Kearney. We dissect Kearney’s PENIS in a deeply incisive way, thanks to the separation of the tracks on the original. It ends with the sublime Rodney Keith Eskelin/Rodd Rodgers/ Rodd Keith’s growlingly fucked-up rendition of Mrs. Dorothy Schneider’s THE BEAT OF THE TRAPS, performed at the end of a long day by drunk-off-their-asses session hacks.

NYC Fire Dept. Discrimination; NYC Hospital Laundry Privatization Protest

Rather than complying with a Federal court order to choose among 5 plans to increase hiring of African American and Latino candidates for the NYC Fire Dept. to reverse long standing discrimination, Mayor Bloomberg choose to suspend hiring for the next class of 300 firefighters. This will result in short staffing in the Department and an expensive increase in overtime pay. PLUS, under a proposed reorganization plan announced in May by the NYC Health and Hospitals Corp. (HHC), which runs the laundry, the service would be taken over by an undetermined private company. Privatization will cause the loss of 120 living wage union jobs. The workers demonstrated outside the NYC Health Dept. Building.

Detained and Abandoned: The case of Omar Khadr

When President George W. Bush declared war on Afghanistan in 2001, his military order stipulated that captives should “be detained, and, when tried, to be tried for violations of the laws of war and other applicable laws by military tribunals.” These tribunals would later come to be known as military commissions. Thus began the saga of Omar Khadr's detention. Khadr, a Canadian citizen, was severely wounded in a firefight in Afghanistan, on 27 July 2002 . Khadr, the only survivor of the raid, was captured and transferred to the US Air Base in Bagram, Afghanistan, where he was held for three months. In October 2002, he was transferred to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where his trial by military commission is now about to begin after nearly eight years of indefinite detention. Khadr was held incommunicado at Guantanamo Bay for two years. In 2004, he was defined as an “enemy combatant” by the Combatant Status Review Board. He was first charged in 2005, three years after his detention, in acordance with President Bush's military order establishing military commissions. Khadr was accused of murdering Sgt.CHristopher Speer, a US soldier who died in the firefight, in violation of the law of war, and was also charged with attempted murder in violation of the law of war, conspiracy, providing material support for terrorism and spying. This two-part series explores the judicial issues brought forth by the various forms of military commissions created by the Bush and Obama administration, contextualizes them within international law and discusses the legalities of the charges against Khar in part one. Part two, set to air 29 September, deals with the moral, legal and psychological implications of Khadr's age and scrutinizes the Canadian government's involvement in his detention.

Immigration Minister's Visit to Guelph, ON Met By Picnic Denouncing Federal Immigration Policies

On August 31st at Riverside Park in Guelph, ON community members rallied and set up a picnic adjacent to a barbeque hosted by the Guelph Conservative Party, where the Citizenship, Immigration, and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney, or, rather, how many are increasingly calling him "Minister of Censorship and Deportation", had made an appearance. Over 30 people had taken the time to mobolize, organizing a visible and peaceful presence in opposition to Kenney's politics, the broader immigration system, and the direction of conservative politics. I interview members of Fuerza/Puwersa- Guelph, Guelph Young Communist League, and Justicia for Migrant Workers, just before the event. Event organized by Fuerza/Puwersa- Guelph and Guelph Young Communist League.
