I listen to the Last Podcast on the Left and I’m learning now about the DuPonts. I’m astounded how it may seem like so little people know of them aside from the listeners. These are actual demons in living people to do the things they do. For example, they’re responsible for Teflon which is produced using C8 chemical. This is a forever chemical.

To give you an idea as to how royally fucked the world has been, Teflon is in numerous things that we use everyday. It is in the non-stick cookware we use. It’s in waterproof fabrics. Food packaging. Just a lot of shit. And we use these things - every. day. This chemical, once it is in you, it’s in you until even through death hence it being a forever chemical and there’s no way you can be rid of it. It can spawn cancerous cells in your body.

And I’m just listening to all of this thinking “Forget half of the shit we’re gearing our anger towards, it’s THESE people we need to draw and quarter!” because of the insurmountable damage and influence they’ve been in so many things that has everyone’s lives in a stranglehold.

    I’m my home town as a child we took a field trip to the DuPont wetlands. Wetlands near the DuPont plant.

    I hadn’t thought about that field trip until just now.

    We made plaster casts of animal footprints and brought them home to our parents.

    The thing is we didn’t go out looking for animal footprints. They had rubber molds ready for us to use.

    Didn’t think much of it at the time but as an adult I’m sitting here thinking “holy shit DuPont is using children to make it seem like there still plenty of animals near the DuPont plant.
