    Hi friends, happy Thursday!
    Welcome to the Dark History podcast. In today’s episode, exposing the secrets behind the food we all buy at the grocery store. I’m talking about a company called Monsanto- and if you don’t know them, you should- because they changed the whole course of food history. There’s a lot to cover here, including blood-spitting fish, the deaths of thousands in Alabama, and Vietnam war weapons.
    I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

    My father is a Vietnam vet. He has had 3 different types of cancer, diabetes, and severe ptsd. He is now 76 and 100% disabled. All of us kids have had health problems including several of us with cancer. It's scary that our own government did this to their own people and generations will continue to pay the price. Thank you for covering the darkness and bringing those responsible into the light. Love from Wyoming ❤

      My dad too. Theres 3 of us sibs and we all have mystery illnesses no doc can positively identify, everything they think it is it isn't. Ive been saying for years whenever I go to the doc about something "weird" im an agent orange baby so this is not going to be textbook. My dads therapist told him there is a HUGE uptick in the grandkids having issues. He has 7 grandpas who all have at least 1 grand kid with weird mouth things. They all have been referred to myofascial therapists. 7 Vietnam vets of this therapists patients have grandkids with this mouth throat jaw issue stuff. Seven. Even 1 of my kiddos. Thats very odd. What stinks for my dad is even though he was in areas were it was confirmed used and whatnot he only has some precursor things all but the skin cancers...hes chock full of that. But that it is health wise So he got pushed to the side for a bit at he va. I forgot to say, im in wy too!

      My dad died from cancer they were able to finally prove came from agent Orange. He battled it for 15 years. It completely altered his day to day life. I was conceived after his exposure… I have a number of autoimmune diseases, I’ve had cancer, some weird “birthmark” where no hair has ever grown on my head. ADHD. I’ve had cancer as well when I turned 40. They had no “reason” why I developed cancer at that age.

I was born with my legs twisted around backwards and had to wear full leg braces for the first 11 months of my life. I’m 45 years old (born in 1977), and I walk with a cane. I’m literally crying and I’m one minute into this video. I am permanently disabled. Thank you so much for making this video!

    The environmental science “professor” at my first college tried to get me kicked out for speaking up against monsanto. The text book literally said monsanto is safe and everything said against it is conspiracy due to “no scientific studies have ever been published to prove different.” I countered- yeah just because they have been blocked from being published does not make Monsanto nor their products safe. Unfortunately for her she lost the argument and ended up saying, “I am only teaching what is in the text book.” And I paused, said, “I know, and I won’t allow it without argument.” Then I left and wrote a letter to the school on my stance. I had a 4.0 gpa so kicking me out wasn’t happening. Ah, that was over 9 years ago though. I wonder what her stance is now, lol.

      I can't stand teachers like that! My high school English teacher said I gave a "college level response" to a reading prompt, but because it wasn't the answer written in her book, my answer was "not it". Mind you, this was an opinion related question, not even something based on tangible facts like yours. To top it off, the answer from the teacher's book was so vague it still didn't answer the question 😅 People in education and the medical field shouldn't stop learning just because they're "at the top". We humans prove ourselves wrong time and time again on every subject. Just because 'money speaks' doesn't mean it's right. Kudos for standing up against that professor. Hopefully the other students were paying close attention so they too can question the world and continue learning.

    My dad was stationed next to an Agent Orange storage depot for four years. He died as a result of Parkinson's a few years ago. I was diagnosed with degenerative disk disease and carpal tunnel when I was 15, and I developed tremors when I was in my 20s. I've also had to deal with chronic migraines since I was a toddler. My sister was diagnosed with carpal tunnel in her late teens and tremors in her 20s.

    As I read these comments I find myself feeling less alone. My father also gave up his life in a slow death for our country during the Vietnam War. Thank you for talking about this Bailey. My father suffered from all the same things I see posted over and over here. He passed away with the demons of the war haunting him not only on his dreams but on waking moments as the dementia took him back to a place he ran from his entire adult life. Our government barely takes responsibility for the effects Agent Orange had on their soldiers and the Vietnamese they sprayed. They recognize even less the long term repercussions on the offspring of these men and women. I think we all have a long list of ailments as the offspring of these men and women. It takes us discussing and bringing more awareness for the government to recognize that it has spred much further than they think. I can barely afford to see a doctor consistently even with insurance. My kidney (1 removed for being completely malformed ), my gallbladder, my thyroid, my entire endocrine system has been my enemy my entire life and the government won't even recognize this to provide me with access to care. Grateful we have platforms like this to bring us together and discuss our stories.

    My granddad worked for Montesano as a chemical engineer in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. From what I was told he worked with several main cancer causing chemicals on a daily basis and handled them with asbestos gloves. He died in his 60s just covered with cancer. My sister was born with spinobifida, there are several members of my family with serious kidney issues, and my aunt has a very similar cancer as my grandad. Thank you for sharing this story.

I have so many issued I can't eve work. Sadly, the government only did research on female soldiers and their children/grandchildren to cover their issues.

    My grandfather was an engineer that worked on Agent Orange. The chemicals he was exposed to caused him to develop Type 1 diabetes.

Before that project he was a super healthy athlete, and he did his best after the project, but he ended up passing away at a young age from a heart attack. He died when I was five, so I don’t remember how old he was but he was in his late 40s or early 50s.

      Only 1 in 90,000 people are born with diabetes, it's actually very very rare to be born with it. It is also not type 1, but neonatal diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is typically developed ages 2-17, with type 2 diabetes typically developing age 18+. But, you must have the genes responsible for diabetes in order to ever develop it. So it doesn't make you develop diabetes, but it can raise the chances you will develop it if you are already at a genetic predisposition. Even so, the department of veteran affairs and diabetes specialists have said type 2 diabetes is associated with herbicides used in the Vietnam war, but not type 1.

Hence my reply to her.
      There are many, many types of DM, mine Is monogenetic which makes it just as rare as neonatal but; vastly different from the DM my paternal uncle and his nephew, my cousin developed as young children and the DM developed in my father post dioxin exposure that ultimately killed him.

      @@Hayhayitsmaay I appreciate all your responses thus far. Yes, DM is a very complicated disease indeed. I did in fact mean that Type 1 is typically developed in childhood and genetic, but my grandfather developed it well into adulthood. It’s something my family struggled with as no one on his side had diabetes and this was well before the internet days. We tried pursuing compensation, but as you may guess, that got us no where. We also struggled, since no one - outside of medical professionals - believed that he developed Type 1 later on in life. There is a common misunderstanding that it is only genetics that causes it.
      He was a engineer working on Agent Orange for the army at the time. Who knows just how much he was exposed to, but I’m sure these chemicals can easily alter his DNA and effect his immune system response with the long periods of exposure. Additionally, employers didn’t care much about workplace safety back then. There was probably a lot of slack as far as personal protection equipment (PPE) goes. On top of working with horrible chemicals, he probably didn’t wear the proper PPE and take the proper precautions. (Not trying to blame my grandfather, but that was how things were back in the day).
      All I know is that he became fully insulin dependent. Hence why he was labeled Type 1 diabetic.

      I had no idea how many of their children were affected by the veterans exposure to agent orange too. And to think the war itself was just a result of red scare propaganda (every war the U.S. started since WW2 has been).
      Still most Americans have no idea (that's by design) who pushes the most amount and the most effective propaganda: those who can most easily afford it: the Capitalists. Has anyone else noticed how scared Americans are to read the sources of Leftist literature?
      Note: Left-wing indicates Socialism, right-wing indicates Capitalism. Both are forms of wealth distribution. People are not all just Socialist or Capitalist, and neither are governments. The whole "both-sides" and the very idea that there are only two sides, let alone just one axis in politics, is just more Capitalist propaganda itself.
      To rule over us, they have to convince us to hate each other. This is why bigotry exists, and this is how humanity has been denied peace and prosperity for thousands of years. How else could one or very few people dominate and oppress hundreds or thousands, let alone millions?
      There are at least 3 major axises involved in politics..
      1) Wealth distribution: left/right (socialism/capitalism).
      2) Power structures: liberal-egalitarian/authoritarian-totalitarian (freedom/oppression).
      3) Social ideals: progressive/conservative/regressive (progress/status quo/ reversion).

    My Dad was drenched in Agent Orange, in Vietnam and had tons of health issues and passed it on to myself, my brothers (who are from a previous marriage) and to my Mother. More deep dives need to be done on this topic. I was bragged about, as a baby, because I didnt have any physical abnormalities, when I was born, in 1984. Unfortunately, everyrhing has been internal, manifesting in different ways. Look into the Pact Act, to see if anyone qualifies.

    Ty Bailey, this subject hits close to home for me as I'm Vietnamese and have seen the effect of agent orange. Actually got to go to Vietnam and visit it before COVID and it was a life changing trip. All the sick and deformed kids gets put at an orphanage is devastating to see. My older brother is also affected by it, he was basically born in a wheelchair and my mom developed Parkinson's very early on...

It has affected my grandfather, my mother, and me, my papa got it from the Vietnam war. It’s absolutely crazy how much it spreads through genetics, and how it seems to get worse in symptoms with later generations. I deal with a lot more health issues than the average 21 yr old. But anyhow yea, a lot of people like to deny it even exists. *sigh I hate our government*

    During the late '60s and early '70s my three older brothers and my neighbor worked as flag men for a local crop dusting service here in Southeast Texas. These teenage boys stood at the end of a rice field or other field and waved flags for the crop dusters to line up with on each pass up the field to drop chemicals. Then the flaggers would move a designated number of steps to the side and wave their flags so the duster could line up to make a pass over the new section. Depending on the season the crop duster would drop different fertilizers and/or herbicides. One of those chemicals that showered these boys at each pass was Agent Orange. We, the US, sprayed not only our laborers, but also the food we were feeding to our country. The story goes on, but you get the idea. If you ate rice produced in the US at that time, you ate harmful chemicals that changed your DNA, and you passed that corrupted DNA onto your descendants. Forever.

My dad was a marine in vietnam, qbd due to his direct exposure, he has had extreme neuropathy and many other issues. But when my parents had me, i was born with a brain tumor ( operated,removed,im fine now, dont even remember,was 8mo old) and was NOT supposed to live. Luckily i did. It was after the tumor was removed that it was discovered it was a direct effect from my dads exposure,and him passing it on to ne. Had they had more children, there was a 50/50 chance they would have tumors too,and may not be as lucky. So i am an only child.
