Georgia Roundup Law, Chinese Solar Inverters, Maryland Bond Rating, Ed Martin Interview

Georgia’s new law, signed by Gov. Bri­an Kemp, shields pes­ti­cide man­u­fac­tur­ers like Bay­er from can­cer-relat­ed law­suits if they com­ply with fed­er­al label­ing, spark­ing out­rage over lob­by­ist influ­ence. Crit­ics argue the law, pro­tect­ing Bay­er post its 2018 Mon­san­to acqui­si­tion, pri­or­i­tizes farm­ers over con­sumers unaware of Roundup’s glyphosate risks, linked to non-Hodgkin’s lym­phoma in over 67,000 law­suits. Mean­while, U.S. offi­cials uncov­ered “Tro­jan horse” com­mu­ni­ca­tion devices in Chi­nese-made solar invert­ers, pos­ing risks of remote shut­downs and grid desta­bi­liza­tion, as seen in Spain’s recent black­out. Mary­land lost its AAA bond rat­ing, with Sen­ate Repub­li­cans blam­ing “failed lead­er­ship” for fis­cal mis­man­age­ment. In Wash­ing­ton, Ed Martin’s nom­i­na­tion as U.S. Attor­ney was blocked by Sen­ate Repub­li­cans, who deemed him too sin­cere. His explo­sive Tuck­er Carl­son inter­view reveals D.C. cor­rup­tion, urg­ing view­ers to watch for insights into sys­temic issues. The Geor­gia law’s broad scope, Bayer’s ongo­ing legal bat­tles, nation­al secu­ri­ty threats from Chi­nese tech, Maryland’s finan­cial down­grade, and Martin’s can­did rev­e­la­tions high­light a tur­bu­lent land­scape of cor­po­rate influ­ence, secu­ri­ty risks, and polit­i­cal dys­func­tion, with con­sumers and pub­lic inter­est often side­lined

• New GA law shields roundup mak­ers from some can­cer relat­ed law­suits. Very dis­ap­point­ed in GA law­mak­ers for allow­ing lob­by­ists to con­trol our state. The law is writ­ten broad­ly enough to pro­vide legal pro­tec­tion in GA to any pes­ti­cide man­u­fac­tur­er that fol­lows fed­er­al label­ing require­ments. Bay­er after acquir­ing Mon­dan­to in 2018 faces numer­ous law­suits alleg­ing Roundup’s active ingre­di­ent, glyphosate, caus­es can­cer. Bri­an Kemp signed this piece of leg­is­la­tion. Law­mak­ers will tell you they need­ed to pro­tect our farm­ers. The law says that as long as the warn­ing label states that it caus­es can­cer, the warn­ing label is for the farmer. But the con­sumer doesn’t know if the crop is grown with the roundup weed killer. The lob­by­ist won, not the con­sumer.
• The US has found Tro­jan horse com­mu­ni­ca­tion devices in Chi­nese-made solar pow­er invert­ers. They are used to con­nect solar pan­els to elec­tric­i­ty grids. The devices could be turned out remote­ly to desta­bi­lize ener­gy grids, poten­tial­ly lead­ing to mas­sive black­outs like the recent one in Spain. 
• Mary­land los­es its AAA bond rat­ing: sen­ate repub­li­can lead­ers say “we’re pay­ing the price for failed lead­er­ship”
• Ed Mar­tin was on his way to clean­ing up Wash­ing­ton as the new US attor­ney, until Sen­ate repub­li­cans decid­ed he was too sin­cere and killed his nom­i­na­tion. This inter­view is a must watch between Ed Mar­tin and Tuck­er Carl­son.
