Hi friends, happy Thursday!

Welcome to the Dark History podcast. In today’s episode, exposing the secrets behind the food we all buy at the grocery store. I’m talking about a company called Monsanto- and if you don’t know them, you should- because they changed the whole course of food history. There’s a lot to cover here, including blood-spitting fish, the deaths of thousands in Alabama, and Vietnam war weapons.

I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

    My father is a Vietnam vet. He has had 3 different types of cancer, diabetes, and severe ptsd. He is now 76 and 100% disabled. All of us kids have had health problems including several of us with cancer. It's scary that our own government did this to their own people and generations will continue to pay the price. Thank you for covering the darkness and bringing those responsible into the light. Love from Wyoming ❤

    OMFG. I literally grew up in Anniston, Alabama! My Babysitter lived across the street from the Monsanto plant, and the air was so bad we couldn’t play outside. I was born with my legs twisted around backwards and had to wear full leg braces for the first 11 months of my life. I’m 45 years old (born in 1977), and I walk with a cane. I’m literally crying and I’m one minute into this video. I am permanently disabled. Thank you so much for making this video! Just finished your video. I cried through the whole thing. I feel so validated. I’ve been telling people about this for years, and no one believes me because it seems so far-fetched. Thank you, seriously thank you!

    Bailey MUST be protected at all costs. ❤ She is over here exposing all kinds of bs.
  • @quintecence
    As a chemistry nerd, I'm just gonna wait patiently for Bailey to do a deep dive on LSD. They gave it to a dolphin so that they could try to teach the dolphin to speak english. The 60s/70s were wild 😂

    My dad was stationed next to an Agent Orange storage depot for four years. He died as a result of Parkinson's a few years ago. I was diagnosed with degenerative disk disease and carpal tunnel when I was 15, and I developed tremors when I was in my 20s. I've also had to deal with chronic migraines since I was a toddler. My sister was diagnosed with carpal tunnel in her late teens and tremors in her 20s. So yep, Monsanto is evil.
  • @jaredchris8054
    Companies like DuPont and Monsanto make me want to puke. No regard for life. We have one planet, our natural resources aren’t unlimited. So sickening. Ty DH team for covering such an important topic!!!
  • @Vanessa2-qt9ym
    As I read through these comments I see sooooo many of you lost your dads and family member to Agent Orange. I’m so sorry for all of our losses 🧡
  • my grandpa died of stage 4 lung cancer bc of agent orange and the VA did nothing to help. I cant thank you enough for covering this i feel so heard and seen.
  • @ItsLuckyPurr
    My grandfather died on June 8th due to liver cancer largely caused by agent orange in Vietnam. The VA gaslit him for years, telling him he was "never sprayed" despite him recalling it falling on him and burning and coating his skin. After decades it finally came out they lied and they finally admitted to it. But it was too late, he was already dying and the VA had waited too long to get him the treatments he needed while determining if it was REALLY Agent Orange.
  • @amandaholley8068
    I can’t thank you enough for covering this topic! My dad was in the Army at the very end of the Vietnam War and my sister and I were born when he was in his 30s. Our dad was sprayed with Agent Orange and he passed away as a result of health conditions it caused. I have Spina Bifida Occulta which is a birth defect caused by his exposure. I am blessed to have very little issues compared to what other children went through.
  • @LaurenJewel
    My grandfather is a wounded Vietnam vet with Diabetes and PTSD. Thank you so so much for covering this topic❤
  • @kristaquin
    Oh so I just read something yesterday about how cancer rates in young people in their 30s has increased by like 20% in the last decade. Now I know WHY this is happening.
  • @KEMPSTUDIOS
    Bailey Is like Bill Nye but for history. Everybody loves her and she makes learning fun and easy.
  • @Treasurecollects
    The environmental science “professor” at my first college tried to get me kicked out for speaking up against monsanto. The text book literally said monsanto is safe and everything said against it is conspiracy due to “no scientific studies have ever been published to prove different.” I countered- yeah just because they have been blocked from being published does not make Monsanto nor their products safe. Unfortunately for her she lost the argument and ended up saying, “I am only teaching what is in the text book.” And I paused, said, “I know, and I won’t allow it without argument.” Then I left and wrote a letter to the school on my stance. I had a 4.0 gpa so kicking me out wasn’t happening. Ah, that was over 9 years ago though. I wonder what her stance is now, lol.
  • @awinson9
    As I read these comments I find myself feeling less alone. My father also gave up his life in a slow death for our country during the Vietnam War. Thank you for talking about this Bailey. My father suffered from all the same things I see posted over and over here. He passed away with the demons of the war haunting him not only on his dreams but on waking moments as the dementia took him back to a place he ran from his entire adult life. Our government barely takes responsibility for the effects Agent Orange had on their soldiers and the Vietnamese they sprayed. They recognize even less the long term repercussions on the offspring of these men and women. I think we all have a long list of ailments as the offspring of these men and women. It takes us discussing and bringing more awareness for the government to recognize that it has spred much further than they think. I can barely afford to see a doctor consistently even with insurance. My kidney (1 removed for being completely malformed ), my gallbladder, my thyroid, my entire endocrine system has been my enemy my entire life and the government won't even recognize this to provide me with access to care. Grateful we have platforms like this to bring us together and discuss our stories.
  • @cheyannehall2130
    I used to waitress an had a regular gentleman by the first name of Rodger, he was a Vietnam vet. He would always tell me stories about agent orange. He had so many burns all over him from it and health issues. He was still kicking into his 80's. Havent seen him in a long time. I hope you're enjoying your pepperoni mushroom pizza where ever you are Rodger ❤
  • @shifterfae
    My mother was a civilian worker on Agent Orange. She done typing, filing etc for the project. Once she actually started reading the files she quit, and before she left ended up cussing out those who headed this project.
  • @RedPandaDragon
    My grandfather was a vet of the Vietnam war and passed away from cancer related to agent orange. His final years were agony that I had front row seat to. The government and all those whom are responsible will never be able to compensate those harmed and traumatized by their actions.
  • Thank you! I've been called crazy and a conspiracy theorist for avoiding roundup and Monsanto/Bayer as much as possible.
