USDA caught suppressing science on pesticides that are killing bee pollinators; take action to stop the federal government’s ‘black box science’

Much of the way things operate in the world today is based on the notion that if you speak the truth, you’ll receive some serious criticism. At the very least, people will look at you like a deer in the headlights, confused as to why you’re not embracing what’s really right. What’s really right, of course, is the way others want you to think and act – “others” unfortunately being the likes of Big Pharma, greedy organizations and bully-like people.
One example of this “do-as-I-say” mentality comes from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), who is up in arms over the fact that its top scientist engaged in neonicotinoid pesticide (neonics) research about bees, which was ultimately widely-published and well-received. Surely, had the research suggested that neonics were A-okay for bees, the USDA wouldn’t have taken issue with the findings. However, the scientist, Dr. Jonathan Lundgren, showed that not only are neonic coatings on corn and soy seeds troublesome for bees, but they don’t provide a significant benefit to farmers either. It’s for this reason that, according to Dr. Lundgren, the USDA started to harass him, attempted to keep him hush-hush on the topic, and even tried to disrupt his involvement with other projects. He was even given a two-week suspension.(1,2)
In response to the bizarre USDA reactions, he filed a whistleblower complaint, suggesting that the USDA brushes scientific evidence under the carpet for their own gain.
