Nouvelle étude dans Nature Health (avril 2026, Institut Pasteur/IRD) : le risque de cancer est 150 % plus élevé dans les zones à forte exposition aux pesticides. L'effet cocktail est central — même des substances « sûres » deviennent dangereuses en mélange. En Allemagne, 11,5 % des substances approuvées sont des PFAS. L'UE renouvelle les autorisations.

Mapping pesticide mixtures to cancer risk at the country scale with spatial exposomics - Nature Health

Using an integrative spatial Bayesian framework that merges high-resolution environmental pesticide risk modelling with comprehensive cancer registry data, this analysis reveals spatial patterns of pesticide exposure and liver tissue-derived molecular signatures across Peru, establishing links between pesticide usage and cancer insurgence at the national scale.

NZ Inland Revenue has been caught stealing from a local publisher.

"IRD had a group NBR subscription for 220 users until March last year when that was replaced by a single subscription for a member of its media team."

One sub, with copies distributed to hundreds of staff.

The National Business Review has subsequently banned IRD from taking out *any* web subscriptions.

The government department can no longer take out any subscriptions to the news website after the department shared articles across a number of staff.

This has gone beyond ridiculous. It's time to allow beneficiaries to select the social service agency we want to manage our case. Fully funded, independently of WINZ, and with the same access to MSD systems they have.

Or, as I've said before, wipe the steaming remains of WINZ from the face of the earth, hand over benefits payments to IRD ("reverse taxation"), and move work brokers etc back to an employment service with no responsibility for benefit payments.

Il semble que ce soit en vendant à Daniel Rolander, un étudiant de Linné, la formule de sa tisane (fruit semble-t-il d'une confidence d’un Saamaka, un esclave marron en fuite) qu’il pu acheter sa liberté, et même devenir propriétaire d’une plantation, avec ses propres esclaves ! Misère.

240 ans plus tard, en 2003 des chercheurs de l’Institut de Recherche pour le développement (#IRD) enquêtent sur les savoirs traditionnels guyanais, dans le cadre du programme de l'OMS Roll Back Malaria,

‘But most importantly, vast economic inequality leads to vast political inequality, which undermines democracy because rising private wealth increases private power, which is the ability to impose one’s will on other people.’ https://www.project-syndicate.org/onpoint/why-us-democracy-has-fallen-into-oligarchy-and-how-to-restore-it-by-mordecai-kurz-2025-05

The lesson of Hitler’s takeover of the Reichstag has not been learnt. Party democracy can be bought, so is not rebust enough to protect the people from the ultra rich and their fascist cults like MAGA, Reform and AfD etc.. Party democracy, is the technological basis for Mob Rule and Ecocide. Ecocide is its programe as rule by inequality, terror, purges, and genocide accelerate the destruction of sustainable ecosystems. Interests Rights Democracy is the seed for an ethically sustainable morality. #EndMobRule #UltrasEcocide #IRD #PartyDemocracy #MobRuleEcocide #InterestsRightsDemocracy #EndTheTotalitarianDeathCults
