@CarlHigbie at Newsmax was able to do more research and found Democrats will begin spraying our lakes and rivers with the toxic chemical Diquat THIS MONDAY JULY 7TH
He was also able to find the company is owned by ChemChina
@ChrisWebby exposed the details for those who missed it:
After July 4th rivers and lakes are about to start being sprayed with an extremely toxic chemical called Diquat in Connecticut with plans to go nationwide

Sounds like the DemonRATS are trying to kill “three thousand children” by thirsting them to death.
Bill Ayers (Obama's BFF)said they would have to kill 21 million Americans before socialism could take over. This is just another attempt to do so.
Need more info. Article is selective and lacking details.
“Banned in Europe” means nothing to me. If it kills these weeds, I say do it.
“Need more info. Article is selective and lacking details.”
A rapper did a search on ChatGPT. What more do you need?
What fresh hell is this?
(CT is indeed a Dem-owned and run state.)
Prone to simplistic thinking, are you?
Well, other than excitably calling diquat “highly toxic” when it’s not, the X post is a little interesting. Invasive plants and algal blooms boosted by farm and residential runoff are problems, but I don’t know if widespread herbicide use is the answer.
“Are you threatening me?”. The Great Cornholio
The way these scumbags are getting away with it is by saying it’s used to kill an invasive plant species called hydrilla, which I’m sure it does, along with everything else in the water, and then us by circumstance.
The last paragraph of the link you provided:
-
“...People should be asking questions.
This process was set up to give people that opportunity.
But get your answers from trusted sources,
not a rapper on the internet...”
Thanks for the article
Sounds like the author doesn't know anything about the outdoors and the effect on bodies of surface water once hydrilla is introduced.
Hydrilla that is uncontrolled will in short order completely take over ponds, shallow lakes, ditches, canals, and other slow moving waterways.
Beaches in Cancun have been overrun with seaweed for the last decade, thanks to the runoff of the Amazon. Here is how it works.
The clearcutting of the Amazon rainforest to make way for crop land, requires a lot of fertilizer. Said fertilizer runs into the streams and lakes, and eventually makes its way to the Amazon. The Amazon dumps it into the Atlantic, and guess what ... seaweed loves it. Blooms so big they can be seen from satellite. Trade winds blow them into the Caribbean, and onto the shores of the Yucatan Peninsula.
10 years ago they were getting piles 6 inches thick washing up on the shoreline EVERY DAY. Resorts have to hire crews to clean the beaches every morning and haul the seaweed off to a dump where it is buried. By 10AM, any seaweed left on the beach starts to stink.
About 8 years ago, the Mexican government stepped in and started putting floating nets offshore to catch it. Some still got thru, but it kept the bulk of it off the beach. Then they had harvesting boats run thru the seaweed.
Have not been back in 2 years, not sure how bad it is now, but it was still an issue 2 years ago.
As long as it doesn’t kill Hummin’ Beans.....
This might get me banned from FR, but if them sons of bitches ever show up around my farm and spray that stuff into the Little Arkansas river...well, I got a 30.06 and I ain’t a bad shot.
Well the J. Gordon Edwards, an entomologist, famously ate DDT to demonstrate its safety to the public...DDT was being hyped as dangerous by the Leftists...
