Cómo pesticidas prohibidos en Europa terminaron en plantaciones de caucho de Ghana con financiación de bancos públicos europeos

Their goal is not to kill us, but to make us just #sick and #deluded enough to talk about them, celebrate them, feed them and give them sustenance and our loyalty.

Remember they used slogans like #FeedingTheWorld, #PainRelief, and #SpreadingDemocracy while testing products and ideas that caused great harm.

So what is their new #poison?
