🔥CALL TO ACTION: Bayer's sneak attack: the company's 5 pronged effort to avoid pesticide liability, after making a bad bet to take on Monsanto's culpability for injuries. That 1986 liability shield got us cheap, safe vaccines, right? What could go wrong if a similar law applied to all pesticides? Consider calling your elected officials!!!

SUMMARY (Grok ai, with edits; images from article)

History: Bayer has its roots as a part of I.G. Farben’s conglomerate. I.G. Farben used slave labor and ran its own concentration camp during WW2 to assist Hitler’s war machine. Bayer knows that getting help from government can make them extremely rich. Bayer’s own website admits to 25,000 deaths, and slaves that died after an average of only 4 months of being worked to death (tinyurl.com/yezx59sc).

Monsanto Acquisition: Bayer acquired Monsanto in 2018 after a “good deal” was negotiated. Now Bayer faces significant financial and legal challenges due to Roundup lawsuits alleging cancer causation, particularly Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (tinyurl.com/4nux9kd8).

ED NOTE 

📌RFK Jr. Knows! Watch this clip from Joe Rogan (06/15/23, video 08:43): tinyurl.com/mry3y54u 
We’d like RFK Jr. stop Roundup/glyphosate in the US as he is starting to do with artificial dyes. FOR SURE he must tell Congress to fight liability shields for pesticide manufacturers.

Vaccine Playbook: To mitigate billions in losses, Bayer takes pages from vaccine makers playbooks hoping to bribe, fool, and browbeat legislators into giving pesticides the same liability immunity enjoyed by vaccine makers.

Bayer employs a five-pronged strategy:

1. Appeal court losses to the U.S. Supreme Court.

2. Lobby for state and federal pesticide liability shields.

3. Threaten to halt Roundup production to rally farmers.

4. Develop new pesticides.

5. Leverage historical ties to influence government.

The article urges readers to oppose liability shield legislation, citing health risks from glyphosate.

Bayer’s Background and Monsanto Acquisition

• Bayer, a former I.G. Farben spin-off, has a history of government collaboration and ethical controversies, including WWII slave labor.

• Acquired Monsanto in 2018, despite Roundup litigation reducing Monsanto’s value.

• Underestimated the scale of Roundup-related lawsuits, costing Bayer $10 billion in claims and litigation.

Roundup Litigation and Health Concerns

• Lawsuits claim Roundup (glyphosate) causes cancer, especially Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.

ED NOTE: Glyphosate is also a powerful antibiotic that kills the microbiome of soil, plants, animals, and people. Sample search to back this up: tinyurl.com/shjz79zj

• Bayer disputes claims but has reserved $16 billion for settlements.

• Ramazzini Institute study (2025) found glyphosate and GBHs caused dose-related tumors in rats, supporting IARC’s 2015 classification of glyphosate as a probable carcinogen.

Bayer’s Five-Pronged Strategy

• Supreme Court Appeals: Seeks to overturn state court awards, arguing federal pesticide laws preempt state failure-to-warn lawsuits.

• State Legislation: Pushes liability shields for pesticides, passed in Georgia, pending in other states.

• Federal Legislation: Attempts to insert liability shields into unrelated bills for quick passage.

• Threat to Stop Roundup Production: Warns of halting production to pressure farmers into lobbying.

• New Pesticides: Plans to develop five new pesticides to shift focus from Roundup.

Call to Action (see below)

• Contact Congress and state legislators to oppose pesticide liability shields.

• Bayer employs stealth tactics in legislation, so be vigilant even if you don’t have specific bill details. Just tell legislators to say “NO” to manufacturer liability shields.

• Bayer’s pesticides pose public health risks. Legislators must resist Bayer’s prioritization of profit over safety.

🔥TAKE ACTION!

We must stop this before more people are sickened.

• Find your Federal representatives: tinyurl.com/yc4e6kjd

• Find your state representatives:

  • Start here: tinyurl.com/5f53wxxy

  • Click on your state to go to the legislature website. Most websites have a Find Your Legislator option.

What to Do:

Spread the word.

Call or write your Congressmembers (and state legislators if your state is one with a liability shield bill pending or already passed one).

Phone calls or personal visits generally work better than emails. Talk directly to a staffer or your representative, or leave a phone message. Tell them…

1. NO pesticide liability shield, no matter what bill it gets tucked into.

2. NO manufacturer — whether pesticide, vaccine, auto, plane, train, etc. — should have liability protection for their products. Without liability, there’s no incentive for doing the right thing and no penalty for causing harm.

3. Granting liability immunity to manufacturers is a LOSE LOSE for everyone except the manufacturers and recipients of the manufacturer’s largesse.
