\"Nerve<\/a>

Nerve Gas Methyl Iodide Sales Halted in US - for Now<\/p><\/div>Tokyo based Pesticide manufacturer Arysta pulled their Methyl-Iodide nerve gas called “Midas” from the US Market<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While nerve gas is illegal to use in warfare, the US-EPA and California’s EPA (Department of Pesticide Regulation) both approved it.<\/p>\n

The fundamental corruption of both Environmental “Protection” Agencies is illuminated when we learn that —<\/p>\n

1) California EPA’s own scientists warned against approving the gas. <\/p>\n

2) In October 2007, more than 50 scientists, including six Nobel Laureates, wrote to U.S. EPA opposing the approval of methyl iodide<\/p>\n

3) An independent scientific review panel’s chair, Dr. John Froines, called methyl iodide, \u201cone of the most toxic chemicals on earth,\u201d citing research that the pesticide causes cancer, late-term miscarriages and contaminates groundwater.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

California’s Department of Pesticide Regulation approved Methyl Iodide in the final moments of the Arnold Schwarzenegger administration falsely claiming it was needed for “Emergency” purposes.<\/p>\n

Locally, Gary Karnes and Assemblyman Bill Monning held a large conference in Salinas to debate the use of this nerve gas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit on the use of the chemical will continue.<\/p>\n

Its Not Over<\/u><\/p>\n

Arysta has not<\/u> asked to have its US-EPA approval revoked<\/i>, because they may bring the nerve gas \/ pesticide back in the future. In the meantime, Arysta intends to sell their Methyl-Iodide nerve gas in other countries.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned.<\/p>\n

PS I have long maintained that “EPA” means “Environmental Protection by Autopsy.”<\/a>
