Your "fresh" supermarket fruits might be OVER A YEAR OLD!

They're GASSING them with TOXIC "SmartFresh" – a petroleum-based chemical – just to extend shelf life & boost profits!

Carcinogenic & genotoxic, yet approved to use on 12 fruits including tomatoes, apples, pears, persimmons, plums, cherimoyas, kiwis, peaches, melons, mangoes, limes & avocados, with more uses planned. Many fruits/veggies are treated with 1-MCP (1-methylcyclopropene) to delay ripening for up to a year.

Sold as SmartFresh (post-harvest), Harvista (orchards), RipeLock (bananas) by AgroFresh – used in US + 40+ countries. - Blocks ethylene to keep produce firm & fresh-looking longer, reducing waste but extending storage/sales.

Key concern: Two impurities (1-CMP & 3-CMP) are genotoxic & carcinogenic

The high-cost low-density long-lead-time weapon platforms deployed by the US military, at great profit for Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and RTX, are fragile against saturation attacks such as drone swarms and missile salvos.

Facing with swarms of cheap weaponry, interception success rate is irrelevant. When a $4 mil Patriot PAC-3 interceptor is used to shoot down a $30,000 drone,...
