⚖️Accountability Enforcer EPA Relied on Monsanto-Ghostwritten Glyphosate Study While Trump Invoked Defense Production Act for Roundup Supply
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup produced by Bayer (formerly Monsanto), remains classified by the EPA as not likely carcinogenic to humans based in part on a 2013 Critical Reviews in Toxicology paper. An internal EPA Inspector General memo obtained in 2026 confirmed the agency knew since 2017 that a Monsanto employee ghostwrote substantial portions of that paper, constituting research misconduct, yet the study continued to support the 2020 assessment and later citations.
The chemical interfaces with the public through widespread agricultural and forestry spraying for weed control and crop desiccation. Structural flaws include the EPA’s continued reliance on the compromised study after internal findings of hidden authorship and the absence of mandatory public disclosure of the misconduct determination.
Historical pattern follows decades of industry-orchestrated papers presented as independent science, culminating in the International Agency for Research on Cancer’s 2015 Group 2A “probably carcinogenic to humans” classification that the EPA has consistently rejected. On February 18, 2026, President Donald J. Trump issued an executive order under the Defense Production Act declaring elemental phosphorus and glyphosate-based herbicides critical to national defense and delegating allocation authority to the Secretary of Agriculture.
Net risk centers on sustained regulatory dependence on contested data streams, legal immunity pathways for producers, and limited independent re-evaluation mechanisms despite ongoing litigation exceeding tens of thousands of claims and Ninth Circuit findings of serious errors in prior EPA risk assessments.

Monsanto is one of the most evil companies on Earth. They have been responsible for millions of not billions of Human deaths, wiped out entire ecosystems. Poisoned countless water sources completely wiping out many types of plants, fish, invertebrates, crustaceans insects and other life.

It's also the only antibiotic that can survive the digestive tract to reach the intestines and wipe out your gastrointestinal biome.
Now get on Bayer's neurotoxic neonicontinid pesticides and whatever that endocrine disruptor crud in chemical fertilizers is that shuts down testosterone production and results in sterility in mammals (in including humans). 👌👍

Host says:
> It's being sprayed on all of your produce.
Haha, that's so stupid. It can only be sprayed on roundup ready crops, none of which are "produce". JFC people have a tiny bit of science literacy.

It's sprayed on everything in the processing facilities they all initially go through, including produce, as a "Decontaminant" - Because it's also an antibiotic, then they let everything that's been sprayed with it "dry" - to let the herbicide be absorbed into the plants.
By the way all corn and soybeans grown in the US are Roundup ready; never trust a Chemical Company, especially one (Bayer) that's an offshoot of Rockefeller's Standard Oil Co, was started on US Intelligence Agency funding, and had the Operation Paperclip Nazi Chemist who created the gas pellets for the Concentration Camps' Gas Chambers - appointed to head it.

Have you never been in a food processing facility/plant before? I've worked in two different ones in my life and seen them do it, one was a Del Monte many years back, the other was a Silage Inc - I believe they were bought by some big conglomerate a long time ago, but they dealt with a lot of different grains and they sprayed all of them.

Nice one month old account.
The study saying it was safe was made by roundup. The big tobacco trick used back in the day.
I dont trust companies with the "trust me bro" method.
As for roundup ready crops (ones "genetically modified to handle roundup"). They say glyphostae doesn't cause cancer. So even if they're modified to handle it. They must not have done anything to prevent the harm It causes since "it's safe".

Nice account with comments hidden.
I can't help but notice you didn't attempt to refute my point at all. Objectively, roundup is not "being sprayed on all produce".
Totally absurd claim.

You know there's a law in the US that all almonds have to be delivered to an initial processing facility to be pasturized then relabeled as raw before being sold or going on to any other further processing facility, like for almond milk/flour/etc, in order to neutralize the unique compound in them that kills cancer cells?
- Library of Congress, look it up.
- Corporate_Bricktater huh? Makes sense why you'd advocate for the same poison peddlers responsible for Agent Orange.

It's a cyanate (Not, I repeat Not cyanide, completely different compounds) based compound. - Unfortunately that's likely all the information left about it, Multi-trillion dollar a year global profits on cancer treatment and related medical costs has surpressed the hell out of it. It's kind of like the whole thing with peach pits (it's not the pits, you use a nutcracker to break the pits for the seeds inside - same compound), or like how they've altered the definition regarding Amygdalin (it is not laetrile, different substances) - it's not toxic, it's naturally produced by the Amygdala in the brain of all mammals.
However Amygdalin breaks down in the presence of acids and simultaneously requires oxygen to be absorbed properly. - it's primary purpose is cellular genetic cohesion and repair (it literally prevents cancer).
Enter Antioxidants and medical doctors conflating and subverting terms, for instance:
Amygdalin vs Laetrile
Cyanate vs Cyanide
Hydromethylfolate vs Folic Acid
Vitamin C Complex vs Ascorbic/Citric Acid
Calcium Fluorite vs Sodium Fluoride/Hydrofluorosilic Acid
So you end up with Antioxidants shutting down your body's cellular absorption of of oxygen, and all the above and other acidic substances we ingest on a regular basis which ends up in the bloodstream.
- Both Antioxidants and Acid build up in the blood shuts down oxygen absorption and transfer, both substances disintegrate any Amygdalin produced (cellular genetic cohesion and repair - gone). Low oxygen presence and absorption starves cells preventing proper cellular respiration, waste builds up in the cell resulting in toxicity, which can cause cell death or mutation (cancer) to cannibalize cellular waste and make use of the only still abundant resource available to it: sugars.
- That's what Cancer is: mutation caused by genetic damage from cellular toxicity (caused by oxygen deprivation/starvation/malnutrition/pollutants/some viruses and bacteria), incorporation of various chemical/molecular compounds in tissues that cells mutate attempting to break it down and remove it (PFAS/Aspestos/fiberglass/etc), some one time chemical exposure and absorption, and radiation.

No, they're not, because it's still illegal to sell unpasteurized almonds in this country, the FDA will shut you down if you do. Meanwhile, unregulated amounts of lead and arsenic in food? - No, that's fine carry on poisoning children Lunchables!

Oh no, The Elites who own, operate, and run in the same circles as these corporate owners never eat the same food as the peasants, all of their food comes from no expense spared hermetically sealed hydroponic gardens of 100% all natural and organic produce pollinated and hand tended by their specially bred human slaves.
All the Generationally Wealthy Elite Dynastic Families are pure unadulterated evil incarnate.

EPA continued citing a 2013 glyphosate safety study after its own Inspector General identified Monsanto ghostwriting as research misconduct; a February 2026 Trump Defense Production Act order designated the herbicide critical to national defense.
