China IS poisoning the World... Literally

by John R Moffett     Page 1 of 1 page(s)

Tell A Friend

In a masterful piece of investigative reporting, the New York Times describes today how unregulated Chinese chemical companies have shipped tons of deadly diethylene glycol (anti-freeze) around the world mislabeled as food/pharmaceutical grade glycerin, killing thousands of people in at least seven countries.

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/06/world/americas/06poison.html?hp

In fact, by the time the diethylene glycol wound up in countries ranging from Panama to India and Bangladesh, the manufacturer's name had long been removed from the containers, and falsified test results had been added stating that the contents were 99.5% pure glycerin. Instead, the drums contained almost pure diethylene glycol with several contaminants.

In at least one drug poisoning incident in Bangladesh, doctors estimate that thousands, or even tens of thousands of people were killed after taking a fever medication made with diethylene glycol rather than glycerin. In a more recent incident in Panama, hundreds of people were killed after drinking cough syrup made with diethylene glycol.


The article at the New York Times is very well written and I recommend that everyone read it carefully, and then think about how many foods and pharmaceuticals they and their families consume without any idea where the ingredients in those products came from. The USDA and FDA currently only test a minuscule fraction of the foods and drugs sold in the US.

China is giving us a firsthand look at what happens when America exports unregulated capitalism to the rest of the world. Republicans and Libertarians alike believe that capitalism can be self-regulating in the absence of government oversight. China and other developing capitalist countries prove this notion completely false.

Republicans and Libertarians want to further deregulate American industry while simultaneously dismantling oversight agencies such as the FDA and the USDA. If they can't eliminate these agencies, they will de-fund them and staff them with corporate cronies.

It is likely that the recent revelations about tainted pet food and now tainted pharmaceuticals are just the tip of the iceberg. The diethylene glycol contamination from China has been going on since at least 1992 without being disclosed to the general public. It seems very likely that many more such incidences of food and drug contamination have gone unreported as yet.

It is also interesting to note that glycerin is a common ingredient in certain pet foods and that diethylene glycol causes kidney failure as in the case of the recent pet poisonings. It would be useful, I think, for the FDA to test tainted pet foods for the presence of this toxic solvent.

Republicans and Libertarians beware of what you wish for, you just might just reap the “benefits” of unregulated capitalism in your child’s next bottle of cough syrup.

FDA

No offense, but...the FDA is already staffed with corporate cronies. Why do you think we have aspartame in our foods?

My point exactly

My further point was,  if people want even more corporate cronies running everything, just vote Republican!

Reply: Republicans are not the only ones guilty of selling us out

As a registered democrat I feel it is important to say that I am putting my country before my party. Hillary Clinton (new world order democrat who attends Bilderberg meetings) has stated that she is accepting corporate funding for her campaign and that she isn't taking money from the public.

John Edwards is Council on Foreign Relations and they ARE new world order so I won't be voting for him.

Nope, I won't be voting for any candidate who hasn't signed a legal document to abolish the Federal Reserve System and put our money back on the gold (or silver less manipulatable) standard. I want a candidate who will fight the North American Union I have not seen ONE democrat touch this issue, Once the fed is gone the IRS is esentially free to go (they won't have to collect interest for the Fed any more).

 Which candidate is REALLY going to stand up for America???? My money is on Ron Paul and so is my vote.

America Freedom to Facsism is an excellent DVD in which Mr. Paul also exposes the current police state and the REAL ID roadblocks which will happen (papers please) in May 08 if we don't stop the REAL ID Act from taking effect. Mr. Paul Opposes Real ID as well as the current police state. I can't imagine why the New World Order promoting international bankster owned media isn't giving him any attention. HMMM

It isn't about red or blue it's about America's funeral. Sorry guys but this time this democrat's voting for Ron Paul.

What would Woody say?

Not only was the food poisonous, but the portions were small.

Counterfeit drugs and counterfeit food, the Chinese capitalists provide a peek at the unregulated future.  Market forces will sort it out.

Reply: not hypocritical

There is nothing hypocritical about not wanting to be poisoned -- by diethylene glycol or DU -- or anything else from individual or corporate gangsters who are not subject to proper regulation and standards by incompetent or corrupt governments. These problems are related.

Amazin,

Let me get this straight, because my government does things that I vigorously disagree with, I am a hypocrite for complaining when other countries do even worse?

What kind of logic is that… Republican “faith-based” logic?

Free trade and globalization

Under the new religion of free trade and globalization some sacrifices have to be made so that corporate profits can continue to rise. You must remember that we are now slaves to the markets and that the markets must be free to operate as they see fit, unless something happens to hinder profits occurs then we can intervene.

I think that if Adam Smith were alive today he would reassure us that its just human life and human life is just a form of capital to complete necessary tasks so that business and trade can continue in its natural free state.

If you still feel upset about the poisoning I suggest you get down on your knees and pray to the great invisible hand of the markets and ask forgiveness for your sins. The invisible hand sometimes gets angry and has to make sacrifices which are necessary for profit continuation. You must learn to trust the invisible hand and be willing to give up all your worldly goods so that the economy can continue its glorious task of stewardship for all mankind. Remember ask not what the great markets can do for you but what can you do for the great markets. That means be willing to work for much less and borrow and spend all you can to help fuel the great markets.

Reply: Markets

Free markets would be fine if they didn't replace products with cheap junk.  I had a calculater that was about 20 years old.  My agency gave me a new on for Christmas about 2 years ago.  It stoped working already.  I brought a new one Texas instraments, I opened it and it didn't work.  3 years ago I brought 5 coffee makers before I found one that worked.  I'm not going to spend money on junk any more.  I will go to goodwill and buy something that once upon a time was made in America.

I have to question what else are we bringing in with our imports that are cheaper.  What diseases, bugs and other such things come along with the package.  Baby bids with lead in them is the latest I heard of.

.We must shut down trade with China immediately. I have enough T shirts and cheap shoes to make do with for  bit. The only way they will heed our message is to shut them down. All you neocons look at your grandchildren and imagine if they took a med with antifreeze in it. It is not a pleasant death. Painfull, slow and usually irreversible.

Reply: Now what a minute

I know the feeling but let's be reasonable.  Trade is good as long as it is fair trade.  We should stop imports from China's food and medical-related industries until they get their act together - but let's take a deep breath and show that we can be level-headed.  And to say China just makes t-shirts and junk is to miss the reality.  Every American ought to come to China and see for themselves what we are up against and then get busy improving our competitiveness.

The View from China

You are right about everything except the part about America exporting its "unregulated" capitalist system.   America had nothing to do with creating the Wild West capitalist system in China.  The system here was created by the Communist Party - or better yet, allowed to be created by China's natural capitalist citizens - in a vacuum of laws.  In fact, if the US had anything to say about it - we would prefer some rules, I mean rules that are enforced.   US corporations are taking advantage of the non-system created by the Chinese dictators but our corporations and our country did not create the messy capitalism of today's China.  I think very few businesspeople actually want unregulated mayhem.  Businesspeople like stability, predictability, and evenly enforced rules.  That is not China.

Not China, per se

It's not China per se.

China has sold out long ago. It sold out with the "breaking of the iron rice bowl" in 1987. International corporate conglomerates from the U.S., Japan, Taiwan, Germany, United Kingdom, France, etc. have taken control. Just as long as these so called joint ventures pay a big enough bribe, they can do whatever they want.

I am surprised how little foreign journalist know about China. They should begin by spending a month or so in Shenjin just across the border from Hong Kong and get to know these foreign conglomerates that own and operate tens of thousands of sweat shops. There are no rules or regulation. If you can pay the bribe, you can get contractors (sleazy slime) to round up slave labor that frequently work for nothing. Start with the battery factories. Workers don't last long there. They fall ill and die after a few months.

Those who own and/or manage these sweatshops live in the Hong Kong Territory. You can meet the worst at Lantau Island. Guys with some gimick to manufacture on the cheap. They come from all over the world, mainly America and make every conceivable sort of stuff. There are no quality control experts to check their junk.

China is a neo-colony owned by the international conglomerates.

Blame China....think again!

I think it is some terrorist who is working for the Bush people who put Chinese labels on the packages, to keep the people on edge about foreign trade. Chinese are not out to do harm to America by any means, it is Americans battling Americans using foreigners as their excuse to invade, terrrorize, and spread their fear. It is Americans who shut down American factories and eliminate jobs for Americans so they can get the cheap labor from developing countries. so they can buy the stuff dirt cheap and more that double their profits. Who created Saddam and Iraq are the same Republican cronies who are still prying open more battle fields, more battle plans, and chemical factories around the world. Remember Bophal India? Blame China....think again.

!Product Type

Insect growth regulator for the control of fly larvae in poultry manure by

feedthrough application.

.......

 

Description and Composition

LARVADEX is available as

! ! * LARVADEX 01 FAP, a feed additive premix containing 10 g of cyromazine

per kg

! ! * LARVADEX 10 TK, a technical concentrate containing 100 g of cyromazine

per kg

!

Properties

Cyromazine, the active ingredient of LARVADEX, is an insect growth regulator

belonging to the group of triazine

derivatives. Cyromazine interferes with the chitin metabolism of the insect.

Treated larvae will not molt to the next

stage and thus the cycle of the fly will be interrupted. The molecule also

shows a high specificity for fly larvae.

First instar larvae are much more susceptible to cyromazine than second and

third instars. The effect on the fly

population becomes visible approx. 2 weeks after first inclusion of LARVADEX

into the feed.

Indications

LARVADEX is an insect growth regulator feed premix for the control of fly

larvae in poultry manure.

Dosage and Administration

! ! * LARVADEX 01 FAP: Mix 500 g per ton feed.

! ! * LARVADEX 10 TK: Mix 50 g per ton feed (after preparation of premix).

Start treatment when flies become active and continue treatment for 4-6

weeks or until fly population is under control.

Then discontinue LARVADEX and repeat the treatment when flies re-establish

themselves. The use an adulticide is

recommended after each treatment, in order to control the influx of adult

flies. It is very important to establish a

homogenous mixture of cyromazine in the feed. Therefore LARVADEX 10 TK

should only be included into the feed

after a premix has been prepared.

Withdrawal period

No withdrawal period is required for eggs, meat and meat by-products.

!

Special Precautions and Warnings

! ! * Avoid contact with eyes and skin.

! ! * Do not contaminate water supplies when cleaning equipment or disposing

of surplus waste.

!

Formulations and Packages

Storage Recommendations and Shelf Life

Protect from heat and moisture. Do not store above 40°C. The shelflife of

LARVADEX 01 FAP and LARVADEX 10 TK

is 5 years.

Thanks for thinking instead of just reacting. You are so correct. In fact, you might just be correct enough to get your post pulled.

 

John -

John, John, John.....love you son, but really you must let go of this phony "party on the left / party on the right" concept that the String Pullers use to keep us divided and thinking that we have a choice. They are just 2 sides of the same counterfeit coin. Both are corrupt, neither is honest, and they are totally in bed with each other. Wake up, dear, we need you.

good comment....

I appreciate reading jaycasey's comments from China.   Thanks. 

 

Also, the author recommended reading the NY Times piece and I agree; it is excellent.  Interesting to note that the USA spends upwards of 400 billion dollars on the Iraq disaster how much money is spent testing household chemicals from overseas for US consumption?

Poisoned By another toxin

Just wanted to say; Alot is going on that our government is doing nothing about.  We were severely poiosned by an invisible agent in our home, trichothecene, which came from hidden molds in the walls.  Since the poisoning even many chemicals that never seemed to bother us before..now they can debilitate us within minutes. We've suffered immune dysfunction, multiple organ damage, burns, lung scarring..and it is taking place every day..all over the country..

I've come to know there are many 1000's of people, many being children, suffering and dying from these toxins..and yet there is no agency, there is no assistance for those who are so sick.. Congress has been getting documented cases of deaths, people losing health, possessions, homes, careers..horror stories..but they are still not educating the public on how serious these toxins are. 

Trichothecene is listed as an agent of biowarfare and it is produced from fungi/mold..I believe it was banned as weapon by Alexander Haig, yet it is taking the lives of so many..there are no standards set for unsafe levels of mold..or seemingly not even this agent..even tho' any level of a known poison is too much to inhale, ingest or absorb....

The home that poisoned us...EXTREME levels of this agent are present..in addition to more molds than I can count..yet there's no agency that can get a child out of there.  We were diagnosed by pathology and even genetic testing...  And money is behind the cover-up, as even Wall Street exposed on the front page on jan issue.

I just posted a story on myspace about a baby dying and the family very sick.  ABC ran our story in Feb. and  two more stories will air soon on NBC and ABC..of other people, same illness..

I just don't want to see people being poisoned.  We had no idea these toxins were as a stealth.  Our government needs to take these type issues serious as to avoid more deaths and pain.

Thanks.
