One of the world's most diabolical corporations will finally be tried for denying their crimes in a court. Dewayne Johnson is a 48-year old man from California who is currently fighting both Monsanto & cancer.
June 18th, 2018 marks the date when Dewayne will fight Monsanto in court, alleging that the company has been hiding the potential of cancer from Roundup use for decades.
Dewayne Johnson Is A Cancer Patient
Doctors even tell Johnson that he will only a few more months to live. This does not stop his drive to expose and punish Monsanto for the toxins that they have been (and currently are) spreading across the world.
Recently, Dewayne received a helping hand in his case against Monsanto. Just last week, Judge Curtis Karnow issued an order which allowed jurors to consider that Monsanto has been hiding the truth about glyphosate's potential to harm.
The internal correspondence noted by Johnson could support a jury finding that Monsanto has long been aware of the risk that its glyphosate-based herbicides are carcinogenic … but has continuously sought to influence the scientific literature to prevent its internal concerns from reaching the public sphere and to bolster its defenses in products liability actions. Thus there are triable issues of material fact, LINK
This Is Not Only Going To Blame The Cancer Caused By Roundup On Monsanto
The court case will also discuss whether or not the corporation knew how toxic their product was and the probability of Monsanto actively suppressing the information about this.
This may come as a surprise to some but I am not surprised that Monsanto and other large corporations hide information to protect profits.
This exactly why regulatory agencies cannot rely on manufacturer-backed studies to assess product safety.
Corporation > Scientific Evidence
Glyphosate (active ingredient of Roundup) has been studied for years and always was concluded to be carcinogenic. Even the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer deemed glyphosate a probable carcinogen.
Why is it that everyone believes Monsanto when they say that their product is safe? Why would corporations be given more say than science?
There Is More To Worry About Than Glyphosate
Recent research revealed that the entire Roundup formula is toxic. The U.S. National Toxicology Program conducted the first analysis of herbicides that include glyphosate and discovered that glyphosate becomes more toxic than ever when combined with other powerful chemicals.

Johnson's lawsuit included statements about how Monsanto “championed falsified data and attacked legitimate studies" which wanted to warn consumers and how the corporation is engaged in a “prolonged campaign of misinformation” which was used to trick regulatory agencies into allowing their products to be sold to the public.
Denial
Monsanto denies the allegation and stands by the small print which says their product is safe. The biotech giant even assured the public about their safety through studies conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
In 2017, a lawsuit was launched against the EPA, stating that Monsanto had a say in how they classified the chemical. Many people believed that the EPA had enough evidence to classify glyphosate as a carcinogen but did not because Monsanto did not let them. The chemical ended up classified as "not likely to be carcinogenic to humans.”
Why Was There A Lawsuit Against The EPA in 2017?
The lawsuit in 2017 was a response to a letter made public by Marion Coply, former EPA scientist. The letter revealed that Monsanto paid "moles" infiltrated federal agencies and had one goal: keep glyphosate's public image positive.
The Guardian reported that around 4,000 plantiffs have been launched against Monsanto which were similar cases to Johnson's. The main problems that was testified in court was that exposure to Roundup caused them (or their friends & family) to develop non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
The Monsanto Conspiracy Continues To Grow
Monsanto is truly one of the most vile companies of all time. Their experiments include GMOs, Agent Orange and Roundup, among others.
It is very brave of Dewayne Johnson to be fighting Monsanto while also fighting cancer. I wish him the best with his court case against Monsanto next month!
If you are worried about having glyphosate in your body I recommend a post I wrote two months ago which detailed how you can remove glyphosate from your body.
Do you believe that Monsanto knew that their Roundup was toxic since the creation of the herbicide?
