While researching alternatives to copper sulfate for clearing unwanted amphibians from our pond, I came upon a recently released video I believe might be banned for its audacity to call Monsanto by name.
Oh, and my girl maybe was right.
We will dredge the pond and dispose safely of the toxic sludge.

There is a lot of important information about the chemicals in the soil, water and even the air, especially in the region of the country where I was raised: Southeast Missouri Bootheel Farm country.
A chemical that can change our identity at the cell level? Yikes: that sounds like what they are trying to do with the vaccine, doesn’t it?
Well, I hope you’re being sincere here. I know for a fact that copper sulfate is deadly and that there are other options for removing frogs….I have a friend who has devoted years to changing the soil on her property. She’s an organic farmer, raises meat sheep and all manner of poultry too. She is constantly going on about soil bacteria and soil renewal, using wood chips and other organic matter to bolster the soil because, as she states, the soil is life. No pesticides, she lets nature do its thing and she has barn cats that kill the snakes and rodents. She grows cauliflowers the size of basketballs and she is slowly reclaiming land that was dead from overuse of pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers.
The preponderance of chemicals used in farming is staggering and the consequences are easily seen. Chemicals are convenient, easy to spray: glyphosate to dry a grain crop for harvest, fast and easy, not so easy to remove the glyphosate from your body though. Ditto for all the other pesticides and chemical fertilizers sprayed so lavishly all over, millions of tons worth and it all makes it into the ground water and you get to eat and drink poison. You are what you eat.
My stock tanks are wonderful little ecosystems, fish, frogs, turtles, birds and….snakes. Frogs eat mosquito larvae, their little tadpoles are voracious, water birds eat the snakes and frogs, the bass eat whatever they can catch, it all balances out and it’s nice to be able to got down to the tanks and not worry about chemical burns and dead wildlife . I also keep the tall grass mowed down so I can see snakes and remove debris that they like to hide and nest in .

Sigh.
I’m serious.
Stand corrected.
Mags,
Do a pictorial essay on your dredging of the pond. Some may be interested. Me.
I will… we are still getting a lot of rain and need it to dry a bit before we start dragging it. I have a giant tarp I’m going to spread to capture the sludge and assess what people have tossed in there over the past 40 years.
I’m hoping for something from Jesse James. We already know we have some Civil War stuff here. (Rusted and ruined).
Can eating mushrooms help my diet?
the magic ones will…
There are some people who believe the psilocybin(sp?) in the mushrooms can help realign the brain waves, but I suspect it is like other psychedelic drugs: Deceptive.
Portabella mushrooms are fairly easy to grow and have a lot of good minerals that help your gut bacteria thrive.
So, yes…
Having eaten both kinds of mushrooms, I must admit the whole point of taking the psychoactive ones was to indeed be deceived for a while, but instead I stared in great interest at the world and the people around me, feeling and seeing the flow of the Earth. That probably makes no sense to the uninitiated, but I’ve never seen a greater beauty than watching the sun set and the colors both it and the sky turned as night fell. Unforgettable.
Thousands of years of American/Mexican Indians can also attest to how spiritual psilocybin (yes you spelt it right) is, when used properly. That and peyote, which made me throw up, but it’s actually supposed to if you’re doing that right. But the magic mushrooms were 10x better, to me anyway.
They grow wild in my part of the country.
Forget mushrooms. Go grow some Datura, it will set you free.
The flow of nature shouldn’t need drugs
Psilocybin is related to the neurotransmitter serotonin, they are both derivatives of Tryptophan which is an essential amino acid. Unlike Extasy (man-made) and Mescaline (peyote cactus), which are both amphetamines, it appears to be well tolerated and quite benign relative to the psychological benefits. It appears to re-align the psyche after disturbances of one kind or another without significant negative effects, according to those who have investigated deeply.
My path as a research scientist through the PHARMAFIA was quite similar to that of the creator of the video that is the subject of this post by Ghost. After 20 years of seeing all the poisons that were being sold as panacea to non-existent disease, that actually created more disease than was cured (side effects are actually the product), I just walked away in the middle of a very lucrative career. No regrets and now I grow food and whiskers, make wine and harbor a deep suspicion of “authority” and “experts”.
Once upon a time, medical science discovered diseases and invented cures to treat them with. Now, the PHARMAFIA discovers DRUGS and invents diseases to treat with them. Same goes for agricultural “science”.

What’s with the sludge in your pond? What’s with the amphibians? Amphibians probably means your water is at least somewhat clean. It’s the pond with nothing in them that are scary.
We want to clean out four decades of accumulation of who knows what… this land had not been touched except by people dumping old stuff in the ravine which was once a runoff from the spring that feeds our pond.
The damn pond should be cleaner!!!!! Something has gunked it up which is apparently very good for frogs and not good for fish.
We killed off the young frogs in one day with the copper sulfate. Now, I realize we could have done it better in just a bit more time.
Lessons learned.
However, since no one has put anything in that pond except trash for over 40 years, the ecosystem will survive this one treatment.
Maggie discovers that a better way to remove frogs is to hire po’ black chillun fo fify cent a frog.
If the frogs were that big here, I would gig them and not poison them. Then, I would pressure can them in mason jars!
Tastes like beef tongue!
Tastes like chicken! Seriously, and just as big!
I guess I don’t understand why you want to poison frogs? Too many ponds around here have no frogs, no fish, no nothing but fowl passing through. Unless the ‘stuff’ was barrels of agent orange, I don’t know what could be so bad and still have life. Is it all fish, or have you tried fish that don’t need help with getting them air? Is it algae?
Trash around here seems to be cars and fridges and metal, or pure chemical poison.
Wow. Working in agriculture its amazing just how much of a staple glyphosate has become. It is generally seen as the bread and butter of crop management. Before watching that video if I had heard glyphosate was going to be banned I would have had grave fears as weeds would radically lower crop yields meaning less food and the use of toxic alternatives such as paraquat. After watching that I feel we need more research on the points he covered by people who cannot be brought by bayer/monsanto.
It is very troubling, especially considering the correlation between autism, parkinson’s and alzheimers increases.
What is truly scary is that there appear to be not only gender specific spike proteins, but also organ specific types spike proteins… could cancer be genetically modified to target certain groups like these diseases?
I did not realize glyphosate is/was patented as an antibiotic!!!!
No wonder society is antibiotic resistant! It is in all our food! Even organic, since the rain has glyphosate in it now!
Edited: You can tell how sincere I am by how many exclamation points I added.
We don’t even need the crop yields we get. The chinese might. Africa might. Not our problem.
I used to use the stuff, but now I wonder, how does poisoning everything help us? The whole concept is fucked up.
Nothing like a nice glyphosate and bacon sammich in the morning!
I’m extending George Carlin’s theory of eating germs — your immune system NEEDS the practice to kill them — to chemicals. I shall not fear a little glyphosate in my body!! My body needs the practice.
Maggie, I worry that you are becoming Panophobic — a person who fears everything. That’s no way to live.
Stuck, My comment replying to your comment has disappeared and it was a doozy….wonder why that comment disappeared? Go holler at Admin, you need to see that comment especially because I gave Mags a great compliment and you? Well….
We probably have a lot less to be fearful of than most; I just have good reasons to suspect chemical farming has had a great impact on a lot of people I know. Perhaps myself included.
We need to eliminate oxygen from the atmosphere. For the children.
The effects of oxygen….

i am really looking into the idea of a real ecosystem…
I propose Monsanto be forced to pay reparations to all the parents of kids with autism!
Even the white ones.
Old quote from an old doc all have probably seen: Unless we put medical freedoms into the Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship to restrict the art of healing to one class of Men and deny equal privileges to others; the Constitution of this republic should make special privilege for medical freedom as well as religious freedom. – Benjamin Rush
The constitution prescription, at the least, became “resistant” over time. But the diagnosis is completely accurate.
Ya’ll know about the Rockefellers, Carnegie, the Flexner/s report. Healthcare is a cartel. Cartels don’t compete to serve customers. Or even “patients.” Cartels victimize, & suck out economic rents in the process. Health doesn’t offer the booty that disease does. So its Bastiat’s Window, but instead of breaking plate glass to goose “the economy,” its breaking people.
And the cartels interlock. Feedback & feed forward.
Dr. Benjamin Rush was a sage apparently.
I just tried to upvote you i forget but i forgot i already voted.
