Charles Benbrook Roundup "Monsanto Trial"

‘Scuse ‘Scuse Me

April 18, 2019

I attended college in the late 1990s, a period of dramatic cultural transition from grunge to Britney Spears. Whether wearing huge flannel shirts or belly-baring crop tops, most of the girls in my sorority worked out and constantly dieted to achieve that super lean 90s body type. Around this time, my older sister – who…

The Billion Dollar Question

April 17, 2019

Monsanto Distinguished Fellow and Medical Toxicologist Dr. Daniel Goldstein: Roundup has been available since 1974. The ingredients are glyphosate, water, a surfactant, and very small formulated ingredients, like food coloring and products to keep it from foaming up. Readers, I’m having an identity crisis after a weekend at an environmental health conference. What if glyphosate…

Iron Leatherman

April 11, 2019

BY AOJ Folks, the Plaintiffs had a rough day yesterday. I was not there to witness the proceedings, but the long and short of it is that Dr. Weisenburger was suffering from some sort of virus and apparently was not the same Dr. Weisenburger we saw at the Hardeman trial. AOJ has also had a…

Hot in Here

April 10, 2019

Last weekend, I spent a few hours working on a service project on a grassy hill in the Bayview District of San Francisco. The project involved hand-picking turnip and plantain overgrowth to make room for the eruption of the predicted late-spring wildflower blooms. The leader of the project was a restorative landscaper for the City…

Day 4 – Mr. Baumann, Tear Down This Geofence!

April 4, 2019

By: AOJ Pilliod v Monsanto The other day I went to Lowes to order some concrete for a project. Just inside the entrance on the right were a dozen pallets of Roundup—thousands of bottles of the stuff. This is not where they normally display it; it is usually along a wall on a few shelves…

March 28, 2019

I’m not going to miss the verdict this time. I was finally added to the media list, so I can now get the real-time updates on the status of the jury. A few news organizations asked to interview me, so I look to find a quiet spot in the courthouse to film. I’m ridiculously unsmooth…

And yet another closing. The courtroom is packed again, and I feel energy and momentum in the room for the Plaintiff side. Or perhaps I am trying to project my own energy after listening to a podcast entitled:  How to Become Your Future Self with Joe Dispenza. He works to connect neuroscience, epigenetics, quantum physics,…

Bayer Stock Price Crash Roundup Trial Monsanto

Phase 2, Day 3 – A Bayer Market

March 26, 2019

DANG Bayer’s stock price crashed. Since the Johnson trial, I’ve kept a close ear on what analysts and investors are whispering about Bayer and the litigation. More often than not, I’ve found investors continuing to give the benefit of the doubt to Bayer. Some even encourage a “Buy” while arguing that the prices are undervalued,…
