Patrick Moore claims Monsanto/Bayer’s Roundup is safe for humans; refuses to drink it

 

March 26, 2015

French television station Canal+ recently sat down with Dr. Patrick Moore for an upcoming documentary. Dr Moore, who claims to be an ecological expert and is currently the frontman for Ecosense Environmental, stated to the interviewer that Monsanto’s weed killer Roundup was not responsible for skyrocketing cancer rates in Argentina.

This is where the interview took a turn for the surreal.

Dr. Moore insisted that Roundup is safe to drink, at which point the interviewer did the only logical thing one could do in that situation. He offered the doctor a glass of the weed killer to allow him an opportunity to back up his statement.

The Tank Man (full film)

 

On June 4, 1989, Chinese troops expelled thousands of demonstrators from Tiananmen Square, killing an unknown number. One day later, a lone protester stood his ground before a column of tanks.

The iconic image of the Tank Man, captured by Western photographers, was one China never wanted the world to see. In 2006, FRONTLINE investigated the mystery of the Tank Man — his identity, his fate, and his significance.

COMPETITION: Win We Children From Bahnhof Zoo on DVD

We Children From Bahnhof Zoo - Released on DVD from 14th June

And to celebrate we have a great competition for you and 2 copies on DVD to give away.

Synopsis: 

The memoirs of Vera Christiane Felscherinow a teenager growing up in West Berlin in the 1970s were told in the mind-blowing bestseller We Children From Bahnhof Zoo aka Zoo Station: The Story of Christiane F., which shocked the world with its explicit tales of partying, drug-use, prostitution and the devastating aftermath. In 1981 it was adapted for the big-screen in cult-classic Christiane F. and now a brand-new TV adaptation brings this dark story bang up to date in a slick, gritty ride through the world of teenage life and the descent into destruction.

 

We Children From Bahnhof Zoo follows the life of Christiane and her tight-knit group of like-minded souls who are trying to find out who they are, what they want to do with their lives and where the next party’s at. This eight-part German series originally aired on Amazon and courtesy of Acorn Media International is now available on digital to buy and keep and arrives on DVD 14 June 2021.

 

With its stylish wardrobe and astounding night-club scenes, it has echoes of Babylon Berlin, and director Philipp Kadelbach (Generation War, SS-GB) brings a modern spin with a killer soundtrack from the 1970s, including a feast of Bowie greats, interspersed with a thumping mix of genres from techno to punk, hip-hop to dancehall and more, to create a cutting-edge thrill-ride.

 

As the six friends struggle to find their place in the world, their hedonistic lifestyle amidst Berlin’s seedy nightlife, leads them into the dark and dangerous world of drugs, prostitution and addiction.

 

We follow their rough ride into adulthood that sees Christiane’s (Jana Mckinnon – The Trouble With Being Born, Darktown) gradual descent into heroin addiction while Benno’s (Michelangelo Fortuzzi – Naked Animals, Druck) habit drives him to lengths he never imagined while paranoid Axel’s (Jeremias Meyer – The Old Fox, Vampire Sisters) heartbreaking adoration of Christiane persists and Michi (Bruno Alexander – World On Fire, Eden), secretly in love with Benno competes with  Christiane for his affection. Will they be able to overcome their addictions or will they be consumed by them?

 

This visually stunning, wild and daring take on the harsh realities of life once the partying stops, is an edgy coming of age drama that veers from dreamlike and trippy, to dark and poignant.

“My muse is not a horse” Kylie Minogue reads Nick Cave letter to MTV

 

When released in 1996, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds’ ninth album, the beautifully haunting, sometimes terrifying Murder Ballads, attracted critical praise from far and wide and went on to reach a larger audience than any of their previous records. This heightened popularity also resulted in Nick Cave being nominated for an MTV Award in the category of Best Male Artist - a situation that left Cave feeling distinctly uncomfortable and which, in October of that year, provoked this wonderful rejection letter from the musician to the event’s bemused organisers.
