The REAL Trends

There are REAL trends against the conspiracy to impose prohibition against pest control products used in the urban landscape.

There are dozens and dozens of jurisdictions that have stopped or rescinded or limited or invalidated or beginning to repeal anti-pesticide prohibitions and restrictions, or granted professional lawn care businesses with an exception status.

The VICTORIES below demonstrate the REAL trends against anti-pesticide prohibitions ―

Summary

Council rejected legislation that would have prohibited against the use of pest control products on county-owned playgrounds. Council members voted against Bill 76-16, legislation which sought to self-impose prohibition against the county’s Recreation and Parks Department. For the control invasive weed pests and destructive insect pests, the proposed prohibition would have only allowed ineffective green alternative pesticides ― conventional & effective pest control products would have been prohibited.

Summary

Parks department staff reported that organic green alternative pesticides & practices proved largely ineffective for controlling weeds, & parks commissioners unanimously rescinded the municipal prohibition, and re-authorized pest control products on baseball & softball infields.

Parks staff tried to burn weeds along concrete and asphalt with propane torches, but that was also NOT effective. And volunteer weed-pickers were also ineffective. Weeds took over the dirt areas of the infields, creating an uneven and unsafe surface, & presenting a liability issue for the parks department. Commissioners also unanimously rescinded early sign-posting.

Summary

Health Canada has found that glyphosate does not present risks of concern to human health or the environment when used according to label directions.

The evidence in favour of glyphosate is overwhelming. Products containing glyphosate are UNLIKELY to affect your health. Dietary risks from food and water are NOT of concern. Non-occupational risks from by-stander dermal exposure are NOT of concern. Glyphosate products are NOT expected to pose risks of concern to the environment.

Summary

Europeans have been rejecting Greenpeace’s fear-mongering, and are indicating that the jig is up ― the political tide, boosted by evidence, is starting to turn in favour of glyphosate.

The majority of European Union nations DO NOT WANT anti-glyphosate prohibition. The European Union has voted to extend its re-approval of glyphosate for a period of 5 YEARS. Glyphosate was NOT approved for the typical 10 or 15-years because the EU review process was driven more by politics than science. Nonetheless, the European Union has vindicated glyphosate.

Urban Forests & Public Infra-Structure
Granted Exception Statuses

Prohibition Proven To Be A Dismal Failure

Summary

An exception status has been provided by Golden to « address an economic or environmental threat to URBAN FORESTS ».  This exception demonstrates Golden’s councillors’ contradictions & hypocrisy by implying that pest control products are safe to use on urban forests, and yet, the very same products are somehow unsafe when used on residential properties.  Clearly, this exception status has been designed to allow the use of conventional insecticides on town-owned green spaces, like trees that are infested with Gypsy Moth Insects, which must be controlled annually.

Incredibly, more exception statuses have been provided to Golden’s town staff for « PUBLIC INFRA-STRUCTURE », which means  …  «  …  built structures and amenities on public land including, but not limited to, roads, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, retaining walls, dykes, foundations, outdoor playing surfaces, parking lots, & gathering areas ».  However, Golden’s fanatжcal-prohibition  …  « DOES NOT apply to the use or application of a pesticide  …  used to protect PUBLIC INFRA-STRUCTURE ».

Even though a limited prohibition was put in force and finally implemented within a three year period, & although products containing 2,4-D were totally prohibited, it is a little-known fact that Quebec was never truly pesticide-free since it did not prohibit all pesticides, & continued to permit several conventional products.

The province’s prohibition was eventually invalidated and defeated when a legal challenge was settled, & government officials were humiliated into admitting that 2,4-D did not pose an unacceptable risk to human health or the environment.

The audacity and hypocrisy of Saanich’s municipal officials is clearly evident when they circumvent their own prohibition by taking advantage of exceptions that they wrote into their by-law.  Saanich’s prohibition allows  ―    thousands & thousands of inconsistent and unfair exception statuses   dozens & dozens of arbitrary and unfair exception status permits    exception statuses based upon definitions written into the prohibition by-law    exception statuses for district-owned properties and landscapes.  Moreover, prohibition has NOT been imposed against local golf facilities.  Saanich’s municipal prohibition has become a dismal failure.

City council imposed a limited municipal prohibition against conventional domestic products, professional lawn care businesses were granted an exception status for the treatment of damaging insects when certain threshold levels have been exceeded, with a cost of 50 dollar municipal administration fee for every application. In essence, this loathsome municipality has despicably conspired to impose prohibition against conventional pest control products with the intention of profiting from the sale of predatory-permits. This is a prohibition with pay-for-spray predatory-permits providing exception statuses.

Growers Allowed To Resume Insecticide Use

Summary

The fanatжcal-prohibition that was arbitrarily imposed by the European Union ( EU ) against neonicotinoid insecticides was SUSPENDED by the United Kingdom. UK growers have been allowed to use two types of neonicotinoids on their crops for 120 days. These insecticides are no longer linked to so-called bee colony collapse disorder. Moreover, world-wide bee populations have been steadily INCREASING over the past decade ― considerably higher than when neonicotinoid insecticides first came on the market in the mid-1990s.

Paul Tukey Driven Away In Disgrace
& Forced To Abandon His Pesticide-
Hating Fanatжcal-Organization

Summary

Paul Tukey has been proven as a dismal failure ! Tukey announced that he abandoned his SafeLawns foundation, which only ever had one employee, himself. Our prayers have been answered, and the anti-pesticide destroyer of businesses is gone ! Because of his acts of pesticide-hating subversion, Tukey destroyed more businesses than almost any other person on the planet. Hundreds & hundreds of businesses were destroyed in the green space industry because, throughout America and Canada, Tukey conspired to prohibit against pest control products used in the urban landscape. He subverted & polluted the justice and legislative systems in both countries. Years of demands & complaints against Tukey culminated in his demise ― a victory for the surviving businesses operating in the green space industry. Overall, Tukey was not only a destroyer of businesses, but also a failed journalist, an illegal paid-for-profit non-registered lobbyist, a tax-evader, & a supplier of bogus green alternative products and services. Tukey has been proven as a dismal failure ! Regardless of where Tukey attempts to hide, demands and complaints will be continued against him. Tukey will eventually be arrested for the avoidance of the payment of taxes, and for the subversion and pollution of the justice and legislative systems. The bastжrd is gone, but never forgotten.

Summary

Vancouver’s reckless and arbitrary municipal prohibition against conventional pest control products has become a dismal failure.  It has arbitrarily prohibited against neonicotinoid insecticides, under the false pretext that they contribute to bee mortality.  Vancouver’s prohibition is a dismal failure because it has led to self-inflicted catastrophic ecological carnage in the urban landscape  ―  with European Chafer Insects, Japanese Knotweed, & Japanese Beetle Insects.  The audacity and hypocrisy of Vancouver’s municipal officials is clearly evident when they circumvent their own fanatжcal-prohibition by taking advantage of exceptions that they wrote into their by-law.  Vancouver’s prohibition is a dismal failure because it has allowed thousands and thousands of inconsistent and unfair exception statuses for controlling invasive and destructive pests on city-owned green spaces.  [ ?!?! ]  Prohibition has not been imposed against local golf facilities  ―  even though golf courses are maintained by applying the-very-same ingredients otherwise prohibited on city-owned green spaces & residential properties.  Vancouver’s municipal prohibition has become a dismal failure.

We Speak The Whole Truth About Victories
From An Independent Perspective

We are the National Organization Responding Against HUJE that conspire to destroy the Green space and other industries ( NORAHG ). As a non-profit and independent organization, we are environmentalists who are dedicated to reporting about truth-challenged pesticide-hating fanatжcs ( HUJE ) who conspire to destroy businesses that are dependent on the use of safe and effective conventional pest control products. We also report on the work of several highly-rated leading experts who have recognized expertise, training, and background in matters concerning pest control products, and who promote environmental realism and pesticide truths.

The risk assessment of conventional pest control products indicates that they are scientifically-safe, and, when used properly, WILL NOT cause harm to children, people, animals, or the environment ― there are NO harmful irreversible effects to health and environment. Not surprisingly, enviro-fanatжcs have demonstrated that they are incapable of processing overwhelming scientific evidence. Should we trust these fanatжcs, who conveniently ignore scientific evidence, and attempt to impose their politicized-doctrines and twisted life-style choices against our society ?!?!

NORAHG was the brain-child of Mr William H Gathercole, one of the foremost turfgrass experts in the nation, and his colleagues in 1991. Mr Gathercole is now retired, although his name continues to appear as founder. We dare to defy the pesticide-hating fanatжcs by exploring the whole truth from an independent perspective on The Pesticide Truths Web-Site … https://pesticidetruths.com/ If you wish to receive free reports on issues that concern you, please contact us at … force.of.de.nature@gmail.com WILLIAM H GATHERCOLE AND NORAH G
