- Poisoned Lives: Secrets of the Chemical Industry | Investigative Documentary from 2016
Alice, Kenton, Bucky, Rachna… these are the hidden victims of the chemical industry. They have all grown up in India or the United States, in towns built around plastic and pesticide companies. These omnipresent corporations fund stadiums, schools and museums and have provided residents with jobs for decades.
In the US, in the late 1960s, they secretly tested Dioxin on prisoners - one of the most carcinogenic products in the world. Throughout the decades that followed, the company released this product into the stream running alongside their Midland factory, in the North of the country.
In West Virginia, they contaminated ground water with C8, one of the components used in Teflon. A molecule believed to be at the root of thyroid problems, high blood cholesterol, ulcerative colitis, arterial hypertension and kidney and testicular cancer. Today, over 3,500 residents and employees suffering from these illnesses are taking the multinational to court.
In Bhopal, India, thousands of young children are heavily disabled due to drinking water polluted with pesticide residue.
The chemical giants have done everything possible to stifle these human tragedies. With the help of scientific studies and confidential documents, the two directors gage the true extent of the contamination, ultimately exposing years of lies and impunity.
All that remains are the testimonies of the victims across the world, those whose lives have been poisoned. They are fighting, with the hope that one day, those responsible will be held accountable for their actions.

Call me suspicious but I have an incredibly hard time believing that the Dr. had no idea he was testing a harmful product on the inmates.
Right
Lol of course he knew.. I would imagine he was bribed
He knew it was harmful but did he KNOW exactly what he was administering?
Yes!! He’s lying, the way he chuckled, his body languages.
Someone, who didn’t have knowledge would have cried or choked at the least!
Duping delight.
My dad worked for Dow in the 90s. They were constantly trying to get him to move to Midland. My mom refused everytime. Thank God she did.
I'm 71, was raised down wind of dow in Midland Michigan. Every day burnt plastic soot settled on vehicles. I'm still healthy as are my siblings. My mom's 98, my dad died at 98. 🤷🏻♂️
@@dougyoung221 hmmmm to old to be damaged by the chemical
And some people can chain smoke and never have lung cancer that doesn’t negate the stats. Plastic is bad and should be limited to necesity like medicine the end period
@@dougyoung221 LIAR!
good mom!
There should be no statute of limitations on such cases. Period.
There isn't there only is in the court system. And on paperwork. But there's no statue of limitations for a person showing up at their house or killing their families.
My grandfather worked for DuPont since he was a teenager. He now is battling cancer.. As a kid i thought DuPont was so cool, even wanted to get a job there.
Sorry to hear..
Did people he work with get cancer? Were they vaccinated? How many possible avenues?
they got weed banned, google it
Vaccines are worth the risk when everyone takes them to stop the spread of polio, measels, small pox, etc.
Exposure to dangerous things we consume or are exposed to regularly are not worth the risks.
im a vendor and still do work for them and DOW
@@Sleep133 it's a weapon
I am chemical Engineer and I wanted to thank the team who made this informative, cautious, and trusted doc.
Keep going guys
I’m on route to becoming one myself…and I thank god for the invention of the internet. I’ve learned so much…it’s a blessing and a curse because knowing these companies and corporations get away with it is so infuriating. I’ve cried before about all these incidents. The Bhopal leak, the deep water horizon…etc etc. May i never have to work with Dow, Dupont, BP, etc.
My grandfather was a chemical engineer. He worked for one of the biggest oil companies there is. He worked on a team of 4. All 4 of them died from Parkinson's disease. I dont think that's a coincidence. Be safe
@@kaydiglawson7767 wow sorry to hear that
@@mermaid30019 thank you. It was hard to watch
@Doctor Whowhotheowl Not boring, structured! I love chemistry and that is probably why I also started to learn how to bake and really enjoy it. Baking is also structured chemistry! It's not guessing like cooking where you're just adding whatever you think tastes right. I don't like cooking and guessing when it's done because it's never finished when the recipe says... Baking recipe are like chemistry recipe, ingredients must be exact for the outcome desired. I will always get the desired outcome as long as I adhere the exact same way. If the bake is bad, then I messed up a measurement. A new recipe, a new chemical concoction takes multiple attempts to find the right ingredient measurements. Though I just get salty cheesecake cookies when I mess up, not a toxic backyard.
My first professional job was with a place that would illegally dump “~1000 GAL Bad Batches into the city’s water supply. I know it had carcinogenic substances in it. My Professor told me to collect my things and get out of there and Say Nothing. I said NO and got the place closed down and my first boss got 5 years in prison. All I got was Blacklisted, Depositions, and Death Threats. They are horrible people!
Thank you, God bless.
Thank you for your time, we need more people like you!
Bravo Teresa, you are a legend, you saved lives and got some justice, bless your heart and ethics.

Lol every single crop in the world uses some sort of fertilizer and pesticide. There are non toxic ones.
Exactly!!!!
@JimmyNissnatural practices work fine. I had the best crops ever using a good composting system. No chemicals
My dad sprayed agent orange in Vietnam and died at 53, grandpa died of chronic leukemia from being a crop duster and I have been sick all my life unexplained. I was conceived after my dad's exposure.
I had also written that yes, damaged dna is passed down. I'm so sorry. We need to stop these...
Corporations should never be able to have secret documents. The purpose of incorporating is to limit the liability of someone.
Above them is government,these corporations are working in their name 😂 So in case that something happen they can blame them they did secretly testings and actually the most secret they do in hidden places which no one have access like zone 51?
Agreed. Complete transparency or no trust. Period. Point blank.
@@mod839, complete transparency or no business! That's how it should be!
Nor should they be allowed to bribe the government. We need to undo citizens united, which gave them that right.
Yea, these are all reasonable standards.
They call you paranoid or conspiracy Theorists if you question these companies.
Well, it depends. If you use pseudoscience to blame a company for something of course you're gonna get called a conspiracy theorist. Like the whole paranoia with 5G is based on nothing but junk science. But hey if your claims are plausible then it's totally understandable and should be taking into consideration.

@@mrbeastwithnomoney Because 5G radiation or better said high microwave radiation basically can only heat things up (so it makes the molecules vibrate) but the 5G radiation from towers is at most a few watts. It's pretty easy. And let me remind you that if you're exposed to UV rays for too much then yeah you risk for skin cancer.. because UV radiation is slightly ionizing.And even this takes a lot of exposure to manifest. And UV radiation's frequency is orders of magnitude higher than microwave radiation. It's so common sense.

From cleaning houses I developed an auto immune disease. Allergic to formaldehyde, and all fragrances. I have to live in isolation. All the toxic products out there is scary. Cleaning products. Laundry products. Make up. Lotions. Shampoo. Freebreeze. Clothes, socks, shoes.
my heart goes out to you, i’m so sorry
I have also developed some kind of something. I am completely isolated and cannot go into other peoples homes nor can I have anyone in my house except my husband and son. My son has to change clothes as soon as he comes home from school from everyone else's fragrances. I go to the grocery store and Walmart. That's it. It's always a game of Russian Roulette, will I run into something that will ruin my experience or will I make it through both stores unaffected?
Once I am hit I'm done. Sometimes I have to sit down and brace in case I pass out. Other times I have to get to my vehicle and lay down in the backseat until I can drive. Occasionally I have to be rescued by EMS or my husband. Don't worry though, I dont qualify for disability or any other assistance. Meanwhile, I am just over here unsure if I'll ever work or even be able to attend a party again.
I just use vinegar with dawn dish soap and water in a bottle for everything now ! I have lung issues.
@@taracrosby1538 sounds like a mental health problem
That doc said he didn’t know but in the same breath confessed he felt guilty giving poison to prisoners. He knew and has the gull to laugh about it.
I noticed that too.
Seems to me hes laughing at DOW for the blatant disregard for human well being. Sometimes some things are so fkd right up.. all you *can* do is laugh. I hope that's something you've never experienced, or will ever have to.
My step-mothers oldest son was a chemist at Dow Chemical in the 1960's. One of his children was diagnosed with cancer and his wife died of cancer....even employees paid a high price for living in Midland, MI.
Kind of funny just a few years ago anyone that would have talked about this would have been called a conspiracy theorist 🧐 makes you wonder how many of more of those conspiracy theories are true?
@@jjeyeonthesky1160 Uh, no. People have known these things for years. These companies own the media, the politicians, doctors, the government scientists, the regulatory authorities, and their own employees.

Heartbreaking to connect the dots between C8 in DuPont's teflon cookware and the huge number of young adults (my son is one) who develop such aggressive ulcerative colitis they invariably lose their colons. Of course the medical mouthpieces blame genetics whereas the truth lies in our poisoned world. Bravo to these courageous journalists for exposing the psychopaths who profit from death and misery.
Doctors blame genetics on all disease lol even new diseases or ones that have exploded in the last 100 years - MS, cancer, Diabetes, tooth decay, Autism....
They are all due to toxicity or nutritional deficiency.
All the adverts in the UK for Parkinsons and Cancer and every other disease talk about how they are researching "the genetics that cause the disease"
Yeah, they have been looking at the genetics for decades and the problems are only getting worse. But they keep promising the cure is just around the corner!
Also, I know someone with Diverticulitus who cured it in 2 days by avoiding food that had seed oils in it. They are hard to avoid but it you can reduce your sons exposure by a large amount.
I know IC is a different disease but they are damage to the same area. So this may help your son! Please update us if this does or does not work.
Wow. Thank you for mentioning this C8 and your childs issue . Very sorry that is happening , I always say to the Climate Change people , it's not cars I worry about , it's the chemicals and pesticides, plastic , fertilizer .
All crooks
My friend dated a girl who’s father owned a “cookware” manufacturing company in the USA. Made private label pots/pans for QVC/HSN/ ALL the big box stores. When he was at their absolutely insane mansion he noticed ALL the cookware in the mega kitchen was copper and cast iron. Asked “why don’t you have your companies cookware” the WHOLE family laughed and the father said “because we don’t want cancer…” Pretty pathetic that they ALL knew what financed their family was killing people.
He knew what he was doing “nowadays it would be criminal”. Smart words for someone who’s guilty
😊
I have never seen this nor did i know Dow was in Midland Michigan. A coworker of mine (26m) just had a cancerous tumor removed from his brain months after he donated plasma to his mom who had blood cancer. Guess what. They lived in Midland
😫💩😩 I am so sorry
When individuals KNOWINGLY cause so much damage and destruction to human lives in the name of money, it's considered a crime against humanity and treasonous.. the fact that these individuals don't even have the decency to pay for the damage they've done is an even more treacherous way to basically disregard responsibility for the damage caused
They can only evade justice through a government and its agencies that are complicate in the crimes. And they most definitely are crimes against humanity.
@@SeanMurphy00 that's very true..our government is just as guilty for their crimes against humanity
The world as You know is a scam by it self. You think it is the survival of the fittest or for the advancement of the civilisation? No it to decept or trick us. The motive of greed or idiocracy does apply to helpers helper but not to the above us, it's a 2 Dimensional explanation as it's possible. There were even actions taken to blur the history of lost civilisations.
Why You ask? The one who controlls it, controlls the canvas of our everyday lifes and .. probably hides what happened to them and why (like atlantis, like sodom and gomorra)
We are royally F**ed and there is no escape but the End is near! Wait some 10-15 years. Everything will by that time change expotentionally, for the worse! Believe in God, no matter what happens, no matter what!
Who are these "individuals"? Until we can name them by name, nothing will ever happen.
No conscience 🤬
The child absolutely broke my heart when he said it's okay we put soil here and we grow trees that make fruit see and then they eat the fruit there aren't enough tears to fix this.
Indict every board member at DOW!
This is what struck me too. Him trying to help fix it up not knowing he cant. Eating the fruit thinking the land is ok it bears fruit. Why cant companies be tried by a large agency for crimes? The EPA has charged wrongdoings(not nearly enough) but this is a crime against humanity. This is known harm by a corporation on a massive scale. They based are in the United States so why does the UN not speak against this obvious human right violations on these prisoners? What about the medical boards in all their number of specialties? Dear reporters please find this out.
@@savage.4.24they can’t be charged because the legal system protects them and a gutted civil protection agency can’t afford to strongarm them. This is an issue fundamental to dysregulated capitalism in that it only functions well for its citizens when the system is in good health. It is not in good health.
One man taking time to read a water bill and following through on a suspicion changed everything.
That person that tipped the mother off is such a needed type of person!!
It took my brain surgeon's right hand assistant that told me when only him and I were in the room that my surgeon messed up. The surgeon continued to cut 3 to 4 seconds after I was profusely bleeding, not seeing what he was doing, before sewing me up. Ended up giving me atypical trigeminal neuralgia, one of the worst pain conditions just under terminally ill cancer. This happened at 26. Im about to be 31 and still deal with the chronic pain everyday. I was literally feeling and being made to feel like I was crazy. A scan was done and there was so much scar tissue they couldn't prove it was the surgeon. But just knowing the truth helped me a lot.
The people that step out of the box are so needed for the worid.
one slip up and someones life is changed forever, idk how surgeons deal with that kind of pressure
In 2016 I made truck delivery to a chemical plant in Chicopee, Ma. I got out of the truck to walk to the guard station to check in, I got sick the whole time I was there. After leaving, I recovered. Anytime you smell chemicals, your exposed.
some chemicals are odorless
seek a psychiatrist
The _really_ scary ones.... you don't smell. Never, *ever* assume that you're safe just because you don't smell it or your skin isn't rashy.
The real problem is that these companies and our govt are in bed together to the extent that they are one in the same. How can the regulatory agencies actually do their job if they have a revolving door of employment with the very companies they are supposed to be regulating?
The real problem is each individual who makes up the company or government just don't care.
Yes corruption at the highest level
Yes exactly, that and when they "clean up" they get paid by the government to do it. We are the ones footing the bill.
You nailed it. You can’t regulate corporations that run our government.
Where's Erin Brokovitch?
Lois Gibbs, Erin Brockovich and
Frederick Douglas....all taught us..."Power (and Greed) concede nothing ...without a struggle "...Honorable are those who confront greed, anger and ignorance within themselves and humanity...Excellent documentary...Thank you!!
You know what is worse? That the very same greed is being sold as an evolutionary virtue.
The fact is that this is the tip of the iceberg. DuPont and others (Monsanto, Nestle) have been doing this for decades. The company that later became DuPont invented Zyklon B, the gas used in the concentration camps. They employed concentration camp labor. This has been going on for at least 80 years in one form or another and most governments in the west have known all about it. Look into Teflon and Johnson & Johnson baby powder.
French investigative reporters ROCK!!!! Hats off to the brave courageous reporters from France!!!! Thank you from America.
Good job thanks for the time good chanelle
Thank you also from Germany...very good Job done! 👍👌
The French changed the world through revolution two hundred years ago and hopefully they will change policies and world again today.
When will this madness end?

How can we expect this to stop when we accept fluoride, a toxic bi-product, to be dumped in our drinking water?
Agreed
Well they are the reason why earth is dieing.
My Mom worked in a toy factory back in the 60's. They used MEK - Methyl Ethyl Ketone for paint removal . The one woman who used it all day died within 5 years. I was in the Defense industry and worked at Loral systems. They used Trichlorethylene - trico for short. Eventually, they determined it caused cancer. I have a nervous disorder called Dystonia...I believe it stems from the usage of that....not sure...but I can't figure out what else would have caused it. Luckily, I only worked there for only almost 2 years or so.
Never, ever take a job that involves daily use of chemicals.....the money isn't worth it....
There is nothing wrong with working with chemicals as long as the right precautions are taken.
As for trico, it was such a common industrial degreaser it'd be impossible to cover the health effects up, there would be hundreds of thousands suffering from the effects. It did turn out to be carcinogenic which is why it was slowly phased out.
i will learn from your mistake thank you
Me and my mom worked with airplane parts and had to wash our hands and the parts in MEK everyday and it would crack your hands until they bled but still had to put your hands in. I only did that for a short while but she did it for 15 years before they quit using it. It worries me for her.
@@lauramartin7268 No disrespect, but why were you washing your hands in MEK? It's common sense you shouldn't immerse bare skin in industrial solvents.
Pair of suitable gloves, problem solved.
Was this like 50 years ago or something?
@@lauramartin7268 Dear heaven! Yes - you should be concerned. You'll probably be okay....your Mom should be worried. I hope maybe she won't be affected..but what she did, could NOT have been good for her health.
If this happens to humans, imagine what animals go through in the torture chambers of pharma-chem-test labs. I hurt every day thinking about their hidden screams.
Not to mention that animals that are exposed in the wild. Imagine the toll on the wildlife in Midland. I shudder to think of the horrors and atrocities we humans have committed and are complicit in simply by buying the products of these monsters or by not keeping tabs on what they're up to.
these companies own almost all the major media channels and so main-stream media never address these issues ...
Yes, main stream media means corporate owned media, main stream politicians means corporate owned politicians, even google, facebook and youtube are owned by same corporates, if they realize that this documentary is going to cause them harm, this channel too will be terminated from youtube.
Exactly.. Meanwhile, let's make billions and who CARES ABOUT THE PEOOLE, THEY DIE ANYWAY?
They’re all the same people. They’re supremacists but not white.
And the crooked politicians!!!
They never address child sex trafficking either 🤔🧐
Awesome reporting. This is what investigative journalism should look like. Excellent job.
Exactly
I agree 100%
IT'S THEIR THING ... they do reveal crimes in the documentaries, there's no such brazen trampling on freedom & unfair injustice as gag-injunction in the French Legal System. But they have their worst among the judges, that's why the journalists have to be selfless warriors and the French ones are.
You don't need a French whistle-blower, because an investigative journalist is a jack-of-all-trades-in-disguise protected by the French Law. It has very shady reference to a 19-th century definition of a newspaper journalist, as being an undecover 'agent de police', secretly conducting [police] inquiry.
You should see what the French (& also the Swiss) did in 1980-es' documentaries before their nation-wide State TV network was privatised by an I's'r'a'e'li billionaire Bouick with help of a young Jacques Chirac's aide-de-camp, named Nicolas Sarcosy, aged only 24-26. Still the bulk of international investigations are only in French (also the Italian are very good in that), sometimes they seem to produce a censored, reducted video version of a secret service's report (on the international issues).

They juste translate a French documentary
I got diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis in 2015. Up to today, seeing this documentary, I was always told by everyone that they don't have research on what could cause it.
When I was 5 years old, my family bought an old farm house and renovated it. They ripped out all of the flooring. I remember the dust created and my mother being worried about me playing around them. So they gave me one of those 3M face masks, ridiculously oversized for the size of a 5yo face.
Today I find out that C-8 was commonly used in a plethora of flooring materials used in old housings, and that the dust has been linked to UC.
It's amazing how money and point of view can change reality. I have looked up causes for UC for near a decade now. I have, naturally, not once looked up the risk factors of Perfluorooctanoic Acid (C-8), to which I was heavily exposed in my child hood.
They say people get older nowadays but I doubt it since there are so many diseases making an uprise due to chemicals being released in high quantities
Show this in schools and Colleges!
I attend college in Midland. Once I ran near the chemical plant and had a very difficult time breathing for roughly 4 to 7 seconds. Never took that route again. Highly toxic air. It is also very true that Midland has one of the highest infertility rates in the country. It’s seems to be a trend with young women who grow up in Midland.

I started out working with chemicals when I was 19. It was 1974 and I lived in Lubbock Texas. Texas is a right-to-work state so wages were exceptionally low. I could not find a job where I would make the federal minimum wage. The best paying job in town was at the Texas instrument plant. I made $1.85 per hour working the evening shift on the plastic injection press line. And had several jobs before I went to work at Texas instruments and never made more than a dollar per hour. The federal minimum wage at the time was $2 per hour.
They were using very toxic chemicals where I work making plastic calculator cases. I had a headache the entire time. We never had the right equipment. Chemical resistant gloves, we were given regular dishwashing gloves. The solvent used to clean the injection press molds cost of gloves to disintegrate less than halfway through the shift. Replacements were not given.
One day I went to work and every workstation will set up orgonomic lie with lots of gloves and other safety equipment and the proper lighting.
If you guess that OSHA came that day, you would be correct.
I never had any family members in the union and I did not know anyone who belonged to a union. Working at Texas instruments showed me how important unions are to protect the health and safety of the majority of working citizens in our country
Utterly disgusted and in shock after this doc, can’t believe it. Great job making it, hope everybody watches!
When organizations are corrupt here are their defense options: 1. Deny allegations and attack accusers, 2. Create some type of division between the victims (like racial accusations) 3. Co-opt government and control the regulatory agencies through corruption.

I'll add 4. Spend billions on ads claiming to be "saving" the environment instead of actually doing the work.
" Profits over people" is the only plausible claim they can make. If corporations consider themselves persons in court, why don't they regard actual persons as having rights- like not to be killed by corporations. Food for thought.
And make sure you sponsor the media. Ever notice how many programs, including “news broadcasts” were

Just mind blowing. How long this went on for. Continues to this day, no one held accountable . Just criminal.
Watched a hospital mate about 15 years ago slowly pass from a lung disease after he worked at du pont for years, incredibly sad to watch, a painful illness for this man, esp as du pont took no responsibility.
this is beyond horrible and i feel so bad for the victims, humanity never ceases to amaze me with their cruelty to one another :/
The crime isnt only against other humans though.
true. also its always a certain tribe of people against another@@Iwuvmafamatix2

Yes! My tears and heart to each and every one of the victims in the u.s. and India. To hear and see all of you, so brave.

i have an autoimmune condition so sorry for all the kids who caught it so hard good documentary
These companies disregard is shocking. It really is jaw dropping the level of care they show.
HOW HAVE THEY BEEN ABLE TO GET AWAY WITH THIS….. THIS COUNTRY IS BEYOND BROKEN
Just poisoning a bunch of black men
When they say they've discontinued c 8 or any other deadly concoction, does we believe them? Have they just substituted one deadly chemical with another deadly chemical. You know the answer when you look at their history and refusal to take proper fault.
Of course the companies don't care, the point is the POLITICIANS! TAKING BRIBES!
I have a theory that most big business executives are sociopaths. I think sociopathy is almost a job requirement. Think about it - they have to be capable of firing and laying off thousands of employees and making decisions that could mean the loss of hundreds of millions of dollars (euros, pounds, etc.) and not be bothered by any of it. I know that I could never be a CEO because I care too much about people, the environment, and doing the right thing as best I can.
I want the investigative journalists and their team to know that I appreciate all of their effort and hard wok. Thank you for what you do.
Thank you for what you are doing. God bless you on this journey to expose all corruption and helping the people. This is just despicable and someone needs to be held accountable. This is true journalism!! ❤
I grew up down river of Dow in Midland Michigan and played in the river, the parks and ate the fish from the river. Later in life I'm having health issues due to the exposure. Dow's lies affected thousands of lives in Midland, Freeland and further downriver. Dr. Buchalter was a great doctor and had a wonderful family.

Grew up down river, still in the flood plain. Several people in my family with autoimmune diseases and non-genetic cancer, including one very rare aggressive one.
I grew up in Midland too, just up river, 100 yards off the Chippewa River. My Grandfather, great aunt, and my father all worked for Dow their entire careers. I'm 40 now, and haven't had any health issues, but I feel terrible for everyone who has developed health issues due to the Dioxin levels. I worked for the city for a year, in waste water, located directly across the street from Dows main plant. I've heard quite a few crazy stories about the catacombs they have below the plant, all filled with barrels of dioxin and left over agent orange/purple. I can tell you that the sewers around Dow had something leaking into them, it was a dark oily like substance that smelled a lot like motor oil. A friend of mine helped build the baseball stadium on Dow grounds. He claims they helped remove tons of barrels that were Burried in the ground that the stadium now covers. Also, a brilliant Dow scientists who invented a way to measure dioxin levels was fired for doing so.
The evils of government and corporate greed are boundless.
When I found out how horrible Dupont was and their Teflon I immediately threw out all my pots and pans from them and replaced them with stainless steel pots and pans. They are just as non-stick and healthy.
You mean the stainless steel made from recycled trash steel in some 3rd world country contaminated with heavy metals?
I grew up in DuPont, Wa where the ground was so contaminated that they removed feet of topsoil, for the golf course, but not for the houses. Tacoma was much worse because of Asarco

This was excellent. I'm going to check out more.
Monopolized chemical conglomerates are vile. We need to put the humanity back into our society.
This was brilliant content. Thank you for educating us about what continues to happen around the world and right here in the United States. It's heartbreaking to believe these large companies continue to poison people, knowingly!
These companies should have to pay pay pay and even that can never give so many families justice for what they have done. 😢
that one lady who raised her family on that beautiful property only to realise it poisoned most of them just has me in shivers... i just want to give her the biggest hug i cannot even imagine losing your husband to cancer only to have there be a connection to that home the place where she had a swing and zipline for her kids like... i cannot even imagine i hope shes doing well❤️
This is why we must call for Direct Digital Democracy without Parties nor Politicians.
Citizen initiated referendums with thresholds and a social contract means Communities can vote their own laws. As well as a Public Authority to audit police and prosecute bad actors in our own courts.
It means we can Nationalise resources and give Indigenous peoples the right of Sovereignty over them as Guardians.
This can be achieved through a General Strike or Velvet Revolution, much like the Occupy movement, peacefully occupying State Buildings until a People's Mandate can be implemented.
With the appropriate checks and balances, you could have a national digital forum where qualified professionals can debate the issues in a public setting without all the disinformation and bad faith antics, hatespeech etc.
Any vote would need to pass the 70% threshold, with a veto or _rewrite_ vote needing 30%.
The issues would be debated, the public educated, and then a vote taken. Votes that fail will have to wait a year before trying again. Any new proposal (Citizen Initiated Referendum) would have to reach a threshold of support before it made it onto the register. This would all be subject to a Social Contract (New Constitution) that forbids human rights abuses and discrimination, that can be written in the same manner based on the core principles we all share. Councils and Boards could operate in a similar fashion at Scale.
It works in a way that obligates people to better educate themselves ( that is to use logic and evidence in their reasoning ) for a better understanding of the issues, and then take collective responsibility for the outcomes. As opposed to the divisive US v them scapegoating and bi-partisan finger pointing the current Capitalist Pyramid Scheme runs on.
Thorium energy renders the global oil monopoly obsolete
An average person's lifetime's worth of energy with Thorium energy would cost just $100
It is safer, cleaner, and cheaper, allowing for desalination and carbon sequestration. It also can process toxic and nuclear wastes and in return produces the most effective cancer treatment known to man.
In the case of a complete failure the liquid salt cools into a container and then solidifies, it will be low level radioactive for 300 years, as opposed to extremely radioactive for 25k years. Thorium produce grams to the tonne in comparison to Conventional Reactors. It's compact elements don't require a pressure containment like with conventional reactors and so can be transported to remote communities who would be able to process their own waste for energy.
There is enough Thorium already mined for us to power the economy for another 1000yrs.
It can also be used to power Hydrogen converters for carbon free combustion engines.
It's the only technology that could scale to provide effective carbon sequestration. The cost is also a tiny fraction of current models.
It also can't be weaponised.
Thorium energy is our only hope to survive Climate Change
It's crazy it isn't discussed more
Thank you for your comment.i will read up on this.i like the sound of it…

Very informative. My grandfather grew up in Midland and died from colon cancer. We never related the two as he and my grandmother moved away from there several years after his initial diagnosis, but who know?!? What people will do for money is quite astounding.
My Grandfather worked there for 31 years guess what he died of? Colon cancer at 62..couldn't even use his pension
Look into the Vietnam War , U will have the answer !!!
You do realize almost everyone gets colon cancer now regardless of where you live….that’s why they recommend people over 40 get colonoscopy’s
@Mr Bob As of 2020 statistics the rate is roughly 14% ...of those who get cancer which ten again makes up about 4% out of all cancer patients, or better yet 1.4 million a year put of 8 billion people

Very informative film-- thank you for the education. Issues with giant corporations and the public as a whole are so prevalent with no solution in sight. Scary times.

Aviation gas still contains lead.
I'm so sorry.
This is why I stopped using non stick cookware. All my pots and pans can last for generations if treated right, whereas non stick only lasts 1-2 years. My cooking has improved greatly learning how to season and deglaze, plus food just cooks better.
Cast iron is my favorite
I got a parrot and learned it was toxic to him. In the late 90s. Totally safe for people though. Stopped using it then. Cast iron from old estate sales now because new CI has lead in it. Depending on the manufacturer.
It's exhausting trying to stay healthy.
Seasoned cast iron is amazing for not sticking.
Now if we can get food to put in it that won't make us stick too
As a child in the 1990s i found it was toxic to birds. We often cooked with open windows and i begged mom to stop using it she said we werent birds. I told them if the wind blew right the tree outside did have birds and nests every year. I havent seen teflon in a good 30 years now!
It's a good thing people like you actually exist and try to do good for people. Great documentary
this is all around decent journalism. respect to you, endevr.
I remember when the Union Carbide plant broke down and killed a bunch of people. I was just a child, but I vividly remember the horror of so many people dying awful deaths. Horror such as that really sears into one’s memory.
WAS IT PLANNED ❓❓❓😲
@@ginagregg6642
Unlikely ...
But, given how badly the Union Carbide plant in Bhopal was run, and maintained, it might just well have been ... it was like a bomb with a delayed fuze*: a matter of when, not if, something horrific was going to happen ...
[ *= Anything electrical/electronics, uses fuses; bombs, and other munitions, uses fuzes ...]
I was pretty young, myself, when the Bhopal Accident happened ... and you're right, something like that does sear into your brain ...
I remember one victim in particular: he was on oxygen, but had to take the mask off, just before he started coughing so hard, he was bent over, in agony. Someone one treating him, a male nurse, or junior doctor, was slapping him hard on his back, to loosen up what ever was trapped in his lungs, possibly a large amount of mucus formed as the gas in the air, reacted with the moisture in his lungs, and he, obviously, wasn't the only one so badly affected, it was like they were trying to do proverbial coughing up a lung, in a manner not unlike pertussis ...
It is an unfortunate thing, but too often safety manuals are written in the blood of casualties, and deaths ...
@@nigelft that last sentence
The Bhopal plant didn't break down, it was a criminally poor design and had poorly trained employees, so it was just a matter of time before something happened. Anyone who designs a tank to hold an isocyanate, with an "unused" water line running directly into it, is a total idiot, and well, that's what happened.
Wish you went to Vietnam and showed the effects on the country and it’s people from agent orange and dioxin poisoning. Excellent video, thank you so much. No responsibility taken by any person or company. What has happened to humanity? If the employees of these companies would stay out of work, en masse, if only for a day, it would get the shareholders and media talking. Bad publicity is very powerful but has to reach a large audience.
Keep up the great work and be well.
And make it public knowledge all of them everyone look out for each other open your mouth and yell it out scream nobody gets pissed off anymore we don't have each other's back pray
I know it sounds cold, but action can only happen in the us. People in the us need to realize they are being poisoned.
they probably own the media , why you will never see it on there
Also agent orange for our guys too
I lost 2 cousins from it. US wasn't to sure they should have program for our vets. Very sad but true facts, I loved it.

Thank you so much for the valuable information in this video. I love only 2 hours from Midland Michigan and I have never ever heard of this before
I like how investigator are looking deep into this. He cares for the victims. Doesn’t matter if you are prisoners or not. They still deserve second chance.
Do you work for Dow? Or a vaccine producer?
I worked in one of these toxic factories.
I got out after five years.
It sucked, I got sick and nobody helped.
I got angry, got fired, my marriage ended,
I had to start all over.
20 years later Life is better.
I ended up getting cancer
Even when a local physician wanted to help me legally I said no.
I was afraid I would lose my livelihood.
I lost that anyway
So sorry to hear you are not well and the dow company did not help you....
Where I grew up the river behind my house ( the grand river ) was also used by dow and others as a cheap way to dump chemicals instead of paying for proper disposal...everyone in my family has bowel disease. I personally have serious digestion issues, colitis, ileitus, and also suffer from wasting disease and anorexia ( not nervousa, this is a wasting disease where the body eats its own tissue to stay alive) i have a BMI under 3, meaning less than 3 % of my body weight is fat....that would be normal if I ran a marathon everyday, but I do not do any exercises whatsoever...I am 6 feet tall and weigh less than 100 lbs....
Proving that all my health issues are from toxic waste dumped into the river behind my house is almost impossible and I would be willing to put money down on the fact that they are still acting as if nothing happened, business as usual and still dumping toxins regularly.
These criminals need to be stopped at any cost. Make the entire lot take a swim in their own tailing ponds, force them to drink the water, then shoot the entire lot in the head...its the only way to stop this barbaric behavior...they MUST be held to account

I worked around pesticides unprotected for 13 years from 13-26. The company I worked for offered me 1 year of pay to sign an NDA when I quit. I didn't sign, walked away with nothing. My life has been plagued with health issues that I am too young for.
I have a movement disorder now at age 40, and nodules on my lungs. Just waiting for the inevitable cancer diagnosis.
I worked around farm chemicals for six years. Lung granulomas and small fiber polyneuropathy and I recently found out that I have pure hypercholesterolemia. Didn't have these problems when I was twenty.
Yes they stopped using C8 but only to add an extra carbon to the chain so they can call it a different chemical. It's the same technique that designer drug manufacturers (bath salts) use to skirt the law. Still the same effects, but the addition of a single atom allows them to say its not the same substance.
Eisenhower warned us about THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX. Excellent journalism.
Beware of the MEDICAL Industrial Complex. Selling you poison disguised as "medicine".
Plants over pills, Big Pharma kills.
Sad to say it but this is par the course for all of global industry.
It starts with mining, then processing of the ore, then they have to do something with the tailings. They might use chemicals or burn petroleum for heat. From there, every step of the way creates waste. They don't care and we don't care. We just want whatever electronic thing, plastic packaging, or whatever else we want. The price is that we get to be test subjects and not told about anything.
There shouldn't be a statute of limitations.
On hurting innocent people.
Great journalism! The journalist was great and you can tell he really is involved in this case and wants answers.
I remember that movie or tv film where one GI in 'Nam said to another, looking at a dead 40y old jungle tree" you can't tell me if it kills THAT tree it is harmless for us." Yup
I experienced the secrecy and stupidity and was threatened because I protested the use of chemicals/pesticides at a school while children were present. I found someone to back up my fears (within the chemical company on the sly). It woke me up. I just refused to give in to the school despite threats of reporting me to protective services for not allowing my children to attend school. Turning point in my life. I refuse to ever again go against my own judgement,instinct and research.
So?.....at the end , what happened to your job? .... because your comment is a bit vague....

Same here in the Netherlands, in the city of Dordrecht. It's even much worse there. Dupont knew all along.

Agent Orange is the nightmare that never ends. So many Vietnam veterans who were in country were exposed to it - It took decades before the VA admitted there were a number of illnesses directly related to that exposure. Agent Orange is also the only case where children born to Vietnam vets who have spina bifida are eligible for VA benefits.
My husband had multiple health issues related both to Agent Orange and injuries from three tours in combat.
Sometimes for all the gifts and talents we have as a species - it seems the one that is most prevalent is the ability to create the most horrible nightmares for humanity.

I love how he says he's never seen that documents until this interview. he didn't know he was giving them poison... But now it all makes sense why everyone died.
But right after he says something like- "for a long time couldn't help but feel guilty." (as in PAST tense.....as in he knew it was poisonous.
How would he have felt guilty if he didn't know until now. Man, please. With the lies.
He was smirking the whole time
If we aasume he didn't know what he was giving people,he knew some powerful corporate was paying (good money I think) to administrate unknown (to him) substances in a higly confidential program (for sure he had to agree on a not disclosure document). The situation alone was enough to know it was experimenting with "expendables resources"
I caught that too!! Double speak.
Yeah cause dude was totally telling the truth 😒🤥
Bruh…he obviously knows now it was poison. He’d never seen the 50 year old document stating it was poison. He’s in disbelief to see with his eyes that the company knew for sure, 50 years ago. 😂 couple sleuths.
It broke my heart when one of the kids plying on the polluted ground said that "it's not dangerous, we put fresh soil on the ground and the trees bear fruit." Please don't eat that fruit!
DOW needs to clean up the consequences of their unsafe chemical production and chemical waste disposal! The people living in the polluted areas don't know that land that looks healthy can poison them.
