Dear Friends and Colleagues

Published today (Friday 17th July) on *Independent Science News*:

Title: *Ruthless Power and Deleterious Politics: From DDT to Roundup*
by Evaggelos Vallianatos

http://www.independentsciencenews.org/environment/ruthless-power-and-deleterious-politics-from-ddt-to-roundup/

*Synopsis:* The modern controversy over Roundup (glyphosate) and the
documentation of its effects on humans, animals and soils, has much in
common with that over DDT fifty years ago. In particular, it recapitulates
attempts to sideline critics and the ongoing delusion of control of the
natural world that informs modern agricultural practices.

The author, Evaggelos Vallianatos, is a former EPA analyst.

Please enjoy and share.

Yours sincerely
Jonathan

“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits
and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic
society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society
constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of
our country.”—Edward Bernays, Propaganda
