Notable Discussion Quotes from above:
“We found actual photos of the workers at 2 in the morning dumping — not only dumping barrels off of the barges in the middle of the Santa Monica Basin,” he said, “but before they would dump the barrels, they would take a big ax or hatchet to them, and cut them open on purpose so they would sink.”

Notable Discussion Quotes from above:

Here's an op-ed in the New York Times from Samuel Rotrosen, CEO of Montrose Chemical Corporation defending DDT. (The OCR is not perfect but the article is basically readable: www.nytimes.com/1972/08/27/archives/why-are-we-exterminating-ddt-ban-called-political-instead-of.html )
One quote from the Montrose CEO.
A question chemical producers might well ask themselves is why spend money on research for new prod ucts; would it not make more sense to devote the dollars to public relations?
They've aways thought that this was just a propaganda problem... consequences be damned.

paid to these people so they don't care what they do. It goes hand in hand with what the cabal are doing to the planet and blaming the people for the wrong doings.
