Iran confirms the death of its supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei

February 28th,2026

Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed Saturday morning in a joint US-Israeli attack on the country, according to Islamic Republic state media.

"At the time of the assassination, he [Ayatollah Khamenei] was carrying out his duties at his workplace (his office), and this cowardly attack occurred in the early hours of Saturday morning," the statement quoted by local media read.

The Iranian government has declared 40 days of national mourning for the death of its supreme leader.

Just hours before the official confirmation of his death, US President Donald Trump had already announced Khamenei's passing.

The president wrote on Truth Social that Khamenei "could not evade" the Pentagon's sophisticated intelligence and tracking systems and that, "thanks to close cooperation with Israel, neither he nor the other leaders who were killed alongside him could do anything about it."

Less than 10 minutes before Trump's post, an image appeared on Khamenei's official Twitter account depicting a Muslim warrior descending from the sky with a blazing sword in his hand and fire falling from it. "In the name of the noble Ali, peace be upon him," the caption read.

In a statement, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) expressed its condolences for the martyrdom of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, during the month of Ramadan "at the hands of the most evil terrorists and executioners of humanity," and indicated that his martyrdom by these terrorists "is a sign of the legitimacy of this great Leader and the acceptance of his sincere service."

“Martyrdom on the path of Islam and a great Iran is a sign of victory and of drawing closer to the goal; but with the martyrdom and ascension to Allah of Imam Khamenei (may God be pleased with him), his path and his character will not be halted and will continue with power and glory,” he added.

Ali Khamenei was born on July 17, 1939, in the city of Mashhad and dedicated himself to Islamic studies from childhood. He attended religious seminaries in his hometown, a center of great religious importance for Shiism, and later made a pilgrimage to the Iraqi city of Najaf, where he continued his studies for several months. However, he soon returned to Iran at his father's insistence. Between 1958 and 1964, he studied jurisprudence and philosophy in the city of Qom.

In 1962, Khamenei joined the opposition movement against the government of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and became a key figure in the Iranian Revolution. As a result of his anti-government activities, he was arrested several times.

On the eve of Shah Pahlavi's overthrow, he joined the Council of the Islamic Revolution, which became an alternative power center to the government and later contributed to the creation of the Islamic Republic Party.

After the triumph of the Iranian Revolution, he oversaw the formation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a branch of the Armed Forces tasked with protecting the political system of the Islamic Republic and preventing foreign interference and coups. Khamenei commanded the IRGC from December 1979 to February 1980, while simultaneously serving as Deputy Minister of Defense.

In 1980, following the start of the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988), Khamenei was appointed as the representative of then-Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini to the Supreme Defense Council, responsible for formulating defense and security policies.

Iran's new political leadership faced opposition from the People's Mujahedin Organization of Iran (PMO), a radical left-wing group whose objective was to overthrow the Islamic Republic. On June 27, 1981, the group carried out an assassination attempt against Khamenei by planting a bomb disguised as a cassette recorder in a Tehran mosque. The device exploded while he was giving a speech. The blast left Khamenei permanently paralyzed from the waist down.

In 1981, following the assassination of President Mohammad Ali Rajai by the People's Mujahedin of Iran, Ali Khamenei, supported by the Revolutionary Guard and the Iranian clergy, ran in the snap presidential elections.

Initially, Ayatollah Khomeini believed the president should be a person with a secular education, but due to Khamenei's immense popularity and the country's difficult internal political situation, he ultimately approved the candidacy.

After winning over 95% of the vote, Ali Khamenei became the first member of the clergy to hold the presidency. In 1985, he was re-elected for a second term with over 85% of the vote.

Under Khamenei's presidency, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps evolved from a popular militia into an elite guard, earning the leader the respect of the military and allowing him to consolidate his power in the country.

Khamenei served as president until 1989.

Years earlier, amid Ayatollah Khomeini's declining health, the question of his succession arose, and Ali Khamenei was considered a suitable candidate for the role. However, there was an obstacle.

According to the Constitution in force at the time, only individuals with the title of ayatollah could become the supreme leader of Iran, and Khamenei then held the title of Hoyatoleslam, a rank lower than ayatollah.

Under these circumstances, Khomeini initiated a process to amend the constitution, allowing anyone with expertise in Islamic law and management skills to become supreme leader.

When Khomeini died in 1989, Khamenei was appointed the new Supreme Leader of Iran.

In his new role, Ali Khamenei organized a referendum that granted him greater control over the military, parliament, and government, as well as the judicial system and the country's media.

Iran's Supreme Leader gained a reputation as a conservative due to his anti-American and anti-Israeli stances. He stated that the United States "represents a threat to world peace and security," repeatedly calling for the elimination of Israel as a state.

During his leadership, the so-called Axis of Resistance, spearheaded by Tehran, began to form in the Middle East to combat the influence of Israel and the United States in the region.

Despite his hardline stance toward Israel and the United States, his key characteristics are often described as his ability to make concessions and a "heroic flexibility" to achieve his objectives and ensure Iran's survival.

These characteristics were especially evident when he accepted the 1988 ceasefire in the war against Iraq after eight years of fighting, as well as when he approved the nuclear agreement signed in 2015, which resulted in the easing of sanctions against the Persian nation, and when he agreed to resume talks on a new nuclear pact that took place in the spring of this year.

Israel strikes girls' school in Iran, killing more than 50

Al Jazeera
Sat, 28 Feb 2026

An Israeli strike has hit an elementary girls' school in Minab, a city in the Hormozgan province of southern Iran, killing at least 51 people, state media reported, as the immediate civilian cost from Israel and the United States' huge bombardment of Iran comes into sharper focus.

Iran's Mehr news agency also reported that at least two students were killed by an Israeli attack that hit a school east of the capital, Tehran.

Reporting from Tehran, Al Jazeera's Mohammed Vall said of the attack on the girls' school, "There are new reports confirming the number of people killed in that strike has now gone above 40. That's a civilian target, and that's one of the targets that might really become problematic with regards to this campaign by the Americans and the Israelis, who are saying that they are targeting only military targets and they are trying to punish the regime, not the people of Iran. 

 

"President Trump has promised the Iranian people that aid or help is coming their way, but now we are seeing civilian casualties; that's something that the Iranian government will stress as a case of violation of international law and an aggression against the Iranian people, " he added.

According to Iran's Ministry of Health and Medical Education, thousands of civilians were killed or injured, and public infrastructure was damaged, during the US-Israel 12-day war in June 2025.

US and Israel attack Iran with Tehran promising 'crushing' response

Middle East Eye
28 February 2026 

The United States and Israel launched a series of attacks on Iran on Saturday, targeting multiple locations across the country, as US President Donald Trump advocated for regime change.

Videos seen by Middle East Eye showed columns of smoke rising across Tehran with Iranian media reporting nationwide attacks, including in the western Ilam province.

Several buildings appeared to have collapsed due to the weight of the bombing, whilst Israeli aircraft could reportedly be seen in the skies above Syria.

Iranian media didn't immediately disclose a death toll but the Reuters news agency reported that Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei had been moved to a "safe place."

Earlier, US President Donald Trump said the joint attacks were aimed at "eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime".

"Short time ago, US military began major combat operation in Iran. Our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating threats from the Iranian regime," he said.

Trump also made a number of other claims and predictions without offering any concrete evidence such as Washington's refusal to allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon.

"We are going to annihilate their navy. We are going to ensure that the region’s ‘terrorist’ proxies can no longer destabilise the region or the world".

"We will ensure that Iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon. It is a very simple message," he said.

"They will never have a nuclear weapon. This regime will soon learn that no one should challenge the strength and might of the United States Armed Forces," he added.

Iran has repeatedly said it would never build a nuclear weapon and that its nuclear programme is for civilian purposes only.

Neither US intelligence, nor the UN nuclear watchdog have found any evidence that Iran was pursuing an atomic weapon, a narrative Israel and some in the Trump administration have nevertheless pushed.

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is wanted for war crimes, said the attacks on Iran were aimed at removing an "existential threat". 

Netanyahu said that the "joint action" by Israel and the US "will create the conditions for the brave Iranian people to take their fate into their own hands" and praised Trump for his "historic leadership”".

Following the attacks, an Iranian official told Reuters that Tehran ⁠was preparing ⁠to retaliate and that its response would be ⁠"crushing".

Iran is preparing to "take revenge" on Israel and deliver "strong response", State TV reported.

In response, explosions rocked northern Israel as the country worked to intercept incoming Iranian missiles. There was no immediate word on any damage or casualties from the ongoing attacks.

Middle East Eye's correspondent in Israel reported that sirens were heard all over the country, with people rushing to shelters. 

"Not much information is available at the moment, except that Israel has started a sudden attack on Iran," the reporter said. 

Sirens and explosions were also reported in Bahrain, with the Gulf nation confirming that the headquarters of the US Navy’s 5th Fleet was targeted.

Explosions were also reported in Abu Dhabi, Qatar and Kuwait with Jordanian authorities scrambling jets to intercept strikes.

Planned for months

Israel's Channel 13, citing a security source, reported that the attack on Iran was a "joint Israeli-American operation" that has been worked on "for months". 

"In the last few minutes, sirens were sounded all throughout Israel, with an advanced instruction alert directly to cellular devices to stay within proximity to protected spaces," the Israeli military tweeted.

"This is a proactive alert to prepare the public for the possibility of missiles being launched toward the State of Israel. The IDF emphasises that the public is requested to stay in proximity to protected spaces," it added.

Israel has shifted the country to “Essential Activity” status, banning schools, gatherings and most workplaces except critical sectors.

The public was told to follow Home Front Command guidance, with full updates to be posted on official emergency platforms.

On Friday, Israeli minister Yoav Gallant had said that the "coming weeks will shape the coming decades in the Middle East".

An Iranian source told MEE that the attack was "pre-planned while negotiations were taking place", adding that the negotiations were just a cover. 

"The Israelis and the Americans were not taking it seriously. A proof for this is that the USS Gerald Ford aircraft carrier arrived in Haifa yesterday," the source said. 

"On Friday, the Omani foreign minister said on CBS that there was a crucial achievement of an agreement that should stop any efforts of the war, but the US and Israel are keen on the aggression regardless," he said.

Declassified CIA files reveal chilling blueprint to manipulate Americans' minds through covert drugging with vaccines

Stacy Liberatore
Mon, 23 Feb 2026

A newly released CIA document reveals a chilling blueprint to manipulate minds through covert drugging experiments.

The report, added to the CIA's reading room in 2025, details the government's once top-secret Project Artichoke that ran from 1951 to 1956, focusing on behavior control, interrogation techniques and psychological manipulation.

The seven-page document, titled 'Special Research for Artichoke,' with an attachment labeled 'Suggested Fields for Special Research Relative Artichoke,' outlines proposals to develop chemicals capable of altering human behavior.

It discusses drugs designed for both immediate effects, like truth serums and long-term influence, potentially administered through food, water, alcohol or cigarettes.

Researchers also suggested that such substances could be disguised in medical treatments such as vaccinations or injections.

The CIA was also looking into methods beyond chemicals, listing hypnosis, sensory deprivation, gases and other psychological methods for interrogation and behavioral control.

Artichoke served as a precursor to the CIA's MKUltra program, which later broadened mind-altering experiments on a larger scale.

Many files were destroyed in the 1970s, leaving the full extent of the research and how far it progressed unknown.

The document was declassified in 1983, but has resurfaced on social media, where users are shocked to see the CIA discussing methods for 'drugging entire populations.'

Project Artichoke emerged during the early Cold War, a period marked by intense anxiety over communist powers and reports of brainwashing techniques used on American prisoners of war in Korea.

Internal CIA memos suggested that US intelligence feared enemy nations had developed ways to control human thought and behavior, prompting the agency to explore its own capabilities.

The declassified document reveals the depth of this research, noting the need for a study 'to determine what drugs are best suited for direct use on subjects along the lines of amytal and pentothal and which drugs are best for an indirect or long-range approach to subjects.'

The researchers involved in the secret program emphasized that long-term compounds should be capable of producing 'an agitating effect (producing anxiety, nervousness, tension, etc.) or a depressing effect (creating a feeling of despondency, hopelessness, lethargy, etc.).'

They also outlined practical considerations for concealment, such as substances that could be introduced surreptitiously in 'food, water, Coca-Cola, beer, liquor, cigarettes, etc.,' highlighting the CIA's focus on undetectable methods of influence.

Moreover, the report recommended consulting with the Army Chemical Warfare Service, noting they have conducted 'exhaustive studies along these lines' that could provide specific guidance for the program.

Beyond drugs, Artichoke explored a wide range of psychological tools.

Sections of the document discussed 'hypnosis,' 'psychological techniques' and 'gases, aerosols, and oxygen deficiencies,' demonstrating that the CIA sought to combine chemical, environmental and mental approaches.

Researchers questioned whether such methods could compel individuals to perform actions against their own will, including potentially criminal acts, without leaving conscious awareness of their behavior.

Human experimentation under Artichoke often involved vulnerable subjects, including prisoners, military personnel and psychiatric patients, typically without informed consent.

While much of the documentation was destroyed in 1973, remaining files suggested that the CIA and its collaborators systematically explored the limits of psychological manipulation, with ethical considerations frequently subordinated to perceived national security needs.

Artichoke evolved into the more expansive MKUltra program in 1953, which pushed experimentation further, particularly with hallucinogens like LSD.

MKUltra involved hundreds of subprojects at universities, hospitals, and prisons, many of which used unwitting subjects, drawing outrage when the programs were exposed in the 1970s by congressional hearings, including the Church Committee.

Gangster James 'Whitey' Bulger, a former organized crime boss, was used as a test subject in 1957 while an inmate at the Atlanta penitentiary.

He explained he was one of eight convicts in a panic and paranoid state while in MKUltra.
Bulger penned:

'Total loss of appetite. Hallucinating. The room would change shape. Hours of paranoia and feeling violent.'

'We experienced horrible periods of living nightmares and even blood coming out of the walls. Guys are turning into skeletons in front of me. I saw a camera change into the head of a dog. I felt like I was going insane.'

Here is Why CO2 Cannot Be Blamed for Man-made Climate Change

 

Peter D Clack
February 9, 2026

There is no such thing as a ‘global climate’ that can be adjusted with a single dial, i.e. CO₂. The heartbeat of the planet was in reality being set by the (Milutin) Milanković Cycles, not CO₂.

The foundational driver of our current era isn’t a single trace gas (CO₂) – it’s structural. Long-term cooling since the Eocene ended (56 to 33.9 million years ago) is actually a story of Earth’s plumbing, which began to readjust after the isolation of Antarctica 34 million years ago.

This opened up Drake Passage creating the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, thermally isolating the south pole and initiating the growth of ice sheets. In parallel events, the closure of the Isthmus of Panama and the drifting of continents interrupted the equatorial ‘warm belt’ flow.

This redirected warm currents toward the poles and fundamentally altered the ocean’s conveyor belt (the Thermohaline Circulation). Another vast factor was the massive uplift of the Tibetan Plateau due to the impact of the Indian subcontinent (55 mya).

This didn’t just change wind patterns, it created a geological vacuum where weathering has been sucking CO₂ out of the atmosphere for millions of years. This is why we see the extent of ‘CO₂ starvation’ during the current Quaternary glaciation (from 2.58 mya) These are the real factors driving our world’s global ‘climate’.

Within this cooling tectonic global framework, the heartbeat of the planet was in reality being set by the (Milutin) Milanković Cycles, not CO₂. These orbital cycle anomalies dictate the distribution of solar energy through changes in Earth’s eccentricity, axial tilt (obliquity) and precession. They are the primary cause of the glacial-interglacial ‘yo-yo’ effect of the last 2.6 million years (the Quaternary).

Human CO₂ is only a footnote in a colossal planetary system that can move miles of ice across continents based purely on orbital mechanics and oceanic inertia.

The focus on climate is just an abstraction. What really matters is regional and global reality. There is no such thing as a ‘global climate’ that can be adjusted with a single dial, i.e. CO₂.

There is only the aggregation of regional weather patterns everywhere on the planet; the monsoons of India, the El Niño of the Pacific and the Arctic oscillation. By treating ‘climate’ as a singular, globally encompassing entity, centralised institutions (like the UN) are creating a ‘manageable target’.

In reality, they are trying to regulate the thermal output of a 38,000-gigatonne ocean system by focusing on a 420-ppm atmospheric trace gas. If CO₂ is a symptom of recovery from the Glacial Maximum (26,000-20,000ya) then the human contribution is being temporally smoothed into a much larger re-balancing act.

The greening of the mid-tropics and the expansion of plant biomass suggest the planet is digesting the available carbon to return to the more lush, carbon-rich environments, seen before the Cenozoic cooling and dessication of mainly equatorial plants. What is labeled a ‘crisis’ from a geological perspective is a minor thaw from a remarkably cold and carbon-depleted era.

This outline directly supports a glaring belief gap. The hardline climate narrative requires a simple, controllable model (blaming CO₂). But the tectonic and orbital reality is an infinitely more complex, uncontrollable aggregation. It makes bureaucratic management of something as massive as a planetary biosphere look like King Canute trying to command the tides.

Israeli prisons 'begin preparations to apply death penalty' for Palestinians

Channel 13 reports prison service building 'Green Mile' facility where executions set to take place

Published date: 9 February 2026 13:31 GMT | Last update: 1 week 3 days ago

The Israeli Prison Service has begun preparations to introduce the death penalty for Palestinian prisoners, Israeli media reported on Sunday.

According to Israel's Channel 13, preparations include the creation of a facility dubbed "Israel's Green Mile", where executions will take place. 

Training and procedural preparations have also started, while a delegation from the prison service is expected to visit an East Asian country to study the legal and regulatory framework for implementing capital punishment, the report added.

The move follows the Knesset’s approval of the death penalty bill in its first reading last year, with 39 MPs in favour and 16 against.

The bill must pass two further readings before becoming law.

The report added that executions will be carried out by hanging, with three guards pressing the trigger simultaneously.

Specialist teams, composed entirely of volunteers, will be assigned to the task.

An Israeli source told the channel that death sentences will be carried out within 90 days of the final verdict.

The law will initially target Palestinians accused of being members of Hamas’ Nukhba - its elite unit - who took part in the October 2023 attacks.

Those accused of serious attacks in the West Bank would follow.

The legislation would not apply to Jewish Israelis who kill Palestinians in similar circumstances.

'Unprecedented act of savagery'

Israeli law currently allows the death penalty in certain cases, but it has not been carried out since Nazi officer Adolf Eichmann was executed in 1962 for his role in the Holocaust.

Rights groups have strongly opposed the controversial bill, citing Israel’s widespread arrests of Palestinians on vague terrorism charges and a surge in reports of torture and deaths since the start of the genocide in Gaza.

A “record high” of 110 Palestinians have died under prison policies introduced by National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir since he took office at the start of 2023, though Palestinian groups say the actual number is likely higher.

Last week, a dozen UN experts urged Israel to withdraw the legislation, warning that “mandatory death sentences are contrary to the right to life”.

“By removing judicial and prosecutorial discretion, they prevent a court from considering the individual circumstances, including mitigating factors, and from imposing a proportionate sentence that fits the crime,” the experts said.

Palestinian prisoners’ rights groups, including the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club, described the bill as an “unprecedented act of savagery”.

They accused Israel of seeking to legalise the ongoing killing of prisoners, saying its approval “is no longer surprising given the unprecedented level of brutality practised by the occupation system”.

Trump Becomes the Glyphosate President: Declares Deadly Weed Killer a National Defense Resource

Mike Adams
02/19/2026

An Executive Order for Poison: Trump's Declaration of Chemical Warfare on America

On February 18, 2026, President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order that marks a dark turning point in American history, one that weaponizes the nation's food supply against its own people. Titled "Promoting the National Defense by Ensuring an Adequate Supply of Elemental Phosphorus and Glyphosate-Based Herbicides," the order invokes the Defense Production Act to designate the cancer-linked herbicide glyphosate as a "critical resource" for national defense.

This action places a known toxic chemical, the active ingredient in Monsanto's Roundup, under federal protection and prioritization. The order frames this poison as essential to military readiness and food security, claiming glyphosate-based herbicides are a "cornerstone of this Nation’s agricultural productivity and rural economy." In a stunning reversal of logic, the document asserts that ensuring a supply of this herbicide is "crucial to the national security and defense, including food-supply security, which is essential to protecting the health and safety of Americans." The administration has effectively declared that mass poisoning is a patriotic duty.

Decoding the Order: How 'National Defense' Justifies Mass Poisoning

The executive order's official language constructs a false crisis to justify an unprecedented assault on public health. It cites the need for elemental phosphorus in military applications like incendiary devices and semiconductors, then seamlessly pivots to glyphosate, arguing it is irreplaceable for agriculture. The text states, "There is no direct one-for-one chemical alternative to glyphosate-based herbicides. Lack of access to glyphosate-based herbicides would critically jeopardize agricultural productivity."

This creates a fabricated narrative of agricultural collapse without this specific poison. Crucially, the order reveals America's dangerous dependence on foreign—primarily Chinese—supplies. It admits "more than 6,000,000 kilograms of elemental phosphorus are imported from other countries annually" and that domestic production is extremely limited. This reliance is framed as a national security vulnerability, with Trump writing that reduction in supply "would gravely threaten American national security." Thus, a chemical dependency born of corporate globalization is used to justify saturating the homeland with toxin.

Perhaps the most alarming component is Section 3, titled "Immunity." It states, "This order confers all immunity provided for in section 707 of the Act." While not granting direct corporate legal immunity, this provision, coupled with the national defense designation, creates a powerful legal shield. It enables Bayer/Monsanto to argue in court that federal authority preempts state-level lawsuits from cancer victims, effectively moving the company closer to the absolute legal immunity enjoyed by the vaccine industry. As reported by Natural News, the Supreme Court is already poised to hear a case that could grant Bayer such a shield, with the Trump administration's Justice Department siding with the chemical giant ^[1], ^[2].

Glyphosate Unmasked: From Agent Orange Cousin to Chemical Weapon

Glyphosate is not a simple weed killer. It is an organophosphorus compound, sharing a sinister chemical lineage with Nazi-developed nerve agents like tabun and sarin. As Carey Gillam details in "Whitewash," the herbicide's history is intertwined with corporate corruption and scientific manipulation ^[3]. Its chemistry allows it to act as a systemic poison; its small molecular size enables it to permeate the human body, cross the blood-brain barrier, and circulate within minutes of ingestion.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified glyphosate as a probable human carcinogen. It is strongly linked to cancers like non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a connection affirmed by numerous jury verdicts against Bayer/Monsanto. Beyond cancer, research highlighted by Children's Health Defense shows exposures to glyphosate and other herbicides are associated with impaired attention, memory, language, and social perception in adolescents ^[4].

Farmers use it not just on genetically engineered crops but also as a desiccant—sprayed directly on wheat, oats, and other staples right before harvest to dry them out, leading to direct food contamination.

The Corporate Immunity Playbook: Repeating the Vaccine Catastrophe

Bayer's strategy mirrors the playbook used by Big Pharma to escape accountability for vaccine injuries. The company, which purchased Monsanto for $63 billion, is embroiled in tens of thousands of lawsuits from cancer victims. Its current push for a multi-billion-dollar global settlement is a direct attempt to buy permanent legal immunity, a tactic that would grant a "license to kill" similar to the blanket liability protection enjoyed by vaccine manufacturers under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act.

This executive order advances that goal by creating a "national security" framework around glyphosate. It follows the Operation Warp Speed model: declare an emergency, bypass normal safety and regulatory scrutiny, and centralize control. As reported by The Defender, industry-friendly laws are being floated that would lead to "more chemicals in the food supply and liability protection for chemical makers" ^[5].

The Trump administration has already taken Bayer's side in pivotal Supreme Court proceedings ^[6], ^[7]. By invoking the Defense Production Act and the Secretary of War, Trump is not just protecting a chemical; he is constructing a legal fortress for a corporate defendant, prioritizing Bayer's profits over the lives of American citizens.

The Food Supply as a Battleground: Chemical Saturation and the End of Safety

The practical effect of this order is a green light for the agricultural industry to massively increase glyphosate use without fear of restriction or consequence. Farmers, assured of supply and implicit federal endorsement, will be incentivized to spray more liberally. Contamination levels in staple foods, already alarming, are predicted to skyrocket.

A recent Florida state report found glyphosate in popular bread brands at levels up to 191 parts per billion ^[8]. Post-order, such figures could become the norm rather than the exception. This saturation compromises the entire food safety ecosystem. Organic certification, already vulnerable to wind drift and fraudulent labeling, becomes less reliable.

As I've noted previously, "even then... there's been glyphosate found in organics too because of wind drift or maybe fraud." The economic reality will hit hardest those who can least afford it: the poor will be trapped in a toxic conventional food system, unable to access clean, tested alternatives. They will become the primary victims of this state-sanctioned chemical warfare, consuming a poisoned harvest deemed essential for "national defense."

The Only Defense: Verification, Not Trust

In this new paradigm, trust in government agencies is a lethal error. The USDA, FDA, and EPA have long histories of serving corporate interests over public health. As detailed by whistleblowers and investigators like Carey Gillam in "The Monsanto Papers," the EPA has repeatedly buried evidence and collaborated with Monsanto to downplay glyphosate's risks ^[9], ^[3].

The USDA's pesticide monitoring reports routinely declare residues "safe" despite science to the contrary ^[10]. Organic labels, while valuable, are not a sufficient guarantee. The only rational response is rigorous, independent verification. This necessitates third-party, mass-spectrometry testing to detect glyphosate and other contaminants at the parts-per-billion level.

Personal sovereignty over health now demands sourcing food and supplements from suppliers who conduct lot-by-lot, instrument-verified screening for glyphosate, heavy metals, and other toxins. As I've emphasized in my own laboratory work, "we trust but verify"—a principle that must become a universal standard for survival in the Glyphosate Presidency.

Conclusion: A Traitorous Betrayal and the Path Forward

Donald Trump's February 18 executive order is a final, traitorous act against the American people. It represents the full alignment of his administration with the most destructive forces of globalism and depopulation, weaponizing the very food supply under the grotesque banner of "national defense." This move, coupled with the ongoing push for pharmaceuticals and new Middle East wars, reveals an agenda hostile to human health, liberty, and life itself.

The path forward requires a wholesale rejection of these poisoned systems. Support clean food producers who employ transparent, verified testing. Decentralize your life by growing your own food where possible. Use uncensored platforms like Brighteon.AI and NaturalNews.com for accurate information. Speak out against this chemical warfare. This order is a declaration of war on the American body politic. The only appropriate response is organized, informed, and unwavering resistance to protect our health, our freedom, and our future. 

 

FW Comment: How will MAHA and RFK spin this development? It will surely be impossible for Kennedy to walk back everything he has ever said about glyphosate, or refute what the evidence clealy shows:
