Thanks for destroying heirloom seeds and the bees, government.
This is consistent with all of their other actions. Drive more food production offshore and control what is left inside the US.
The willfull destruction of the honeybee population in the US by the EPA is consistent with that agency’s policy to reduce agriculture in the US. Nation wide starvation leading to a substantial reduction in the population of the US has been a major objective of the enviro lobby that controls the EPA. It is long past time for the criminal cabal that controls agencies of our government to be tried and convicted of crimes against humanity.
Man, Orwell was right. An agency’s name tends to become the opposite of its actions, eventually.
The Department of Energy restricts energy production.
The Federal Reserve has overwatched the erosion of the dollar until it is now 1/20 of the value of when the Reserve was enacted.
The Environmental Protection agency approves the use of products that are pesticides to honeybees.
And the agricultural mega-corps that grow it in the US.
Interesting. It would appear that the early rumors blaming a pesticide made by Bayer have some substance.
If they did, they should be prosecuted.
The EPA is unfortunately a necessary evil. This problem demonstrates why an EPA type organization is needed. But also why the EPA itself needs a watchdog organization constantly watching it, making sure they don't abuse power.
Clothianidin is also used on tobacco. Why tobacco, the Sixth Most Pesticide Intensive Crop, is routinely left off of lists of where certain pesticides are used remains unexplained.
What better way to discredit any "health concerns" of pesticide makers and government apologists than by simply, legitimately, pointing out the links to the most popularly-hated industry on the map?
If few care if "dirty" and "sinful" smokers live or die, what about the effects on wildlife down wind and down stream near tobacco plantations? Maybe they should have "Quit the habit" of living near tobacco operations?
Incidentally, clothianidin, is just ONE pesticide made by "health industry", Bayer, that appears on lists of tobacco pesticides. Is Bayer the supplier? Who asks? Bayer does not seem to have yet been dragged into any hearings on "smoking and health" to explain itself. Bayer, and the many other tobacco pesticide suppliers (including BASF), naturally, prefer to blame "smoking" (behavior of unwitting victims) and the tobacco plant (an "act of God") for the effects of typical pesticide contaminated cigarettes. But some "lefties" blame "smoking" too. Go figure. Infiltration? Naive belief of corporate "science"?

Wonder what smoking this stuff might do to smokers?
So it was the EPA. When are they going to be gone?

There is no causal evidence yet on this pesticide. GIven the history of panicked responses to pesticides like DDT, alar, etc, I’m skeptical of any ban proposal without some real evidence.
Part of the agricultural bill, how to kill bee’s
Specifically, high-fructose corn syrup, which is in damned near everything. I saw one of those liquid coffee creamer products recently, its bottle emblazoned with a "Sweetened with Splenda!" label. First in the list of ingredients: corn syrup.
