mercury poisoning
SINCE BRAZIL BANISHED ALL use of MERCURY FROM GOLD-MINING IN 1986, THOUSANDS OF GARIMPEIROS LEFT BRAZIL SEEKING FOR GOLD IN THE FORESTS OF NEIGHBORING SURINAME, GUYANA, FRENCH-GUYANE AND VENEZUELA.
THEY INVADED THE TERRITORY OF THE INDIGENOUS AND OTHER TRIBES LIVING IN AND FROM THE FOREST. OUR GOVERNMENT TOOK NO ACTION TO PROTECT THE BORDERS AND THE PEOPLE LIVING THERE.
THEY BROUGHT WITH THEM THE DESTRUCTION OF PRISTINE RAINFORESTS, POLLUTION OF AIR, WATER AND SOIL WITH MERCURY AND PROSTITUTION.
.
MANY LOCALS STARTED MINING THEMSELVES AS THEY WITNESSED THE INVASION OF FOREIGNERS. EXCAVATORS, BULLDOZERS, BIG WATER PUMPS, BIG WATER HOSES, SLUICE BOXES AND LOTS OF FUEL ARE THE INGREDIENTS FOR THIS MADNESS CALLED GOLD FEVER.
INDUSTRIAL GOLD MINING RELEASES MANY TOXIC HEAVY METALS CONTAMINATING THE WATER, FOOD AND SOIL. THE EXTREME TOXIC CYANIDE IS USED TO DISSOLVE THE GOLD IN THE ORE BUT LEFTOVERS ARE IN THE WASTE WATER AFTER USE.
MANY DISASTERS HAVE HAPPENED ALREADY LIKE THE OMAI MINE DISASTER IN GUYANA IN 1995 KILLING ALL LIFE IN THE RIVER ESSEQUIBO.
IN 2008 IAMGOLD ALSO DISCHARGED THOUSANDS OF GALLONS CYANIDE WASTE WATER IN THE CREEKS KILLING MANY ANIMALS AND FISH. NO RESPONSIBILITY WAS EVER TAKEN BY THE CANADIAN COMPANY.
PROBIOS FOUNDER ERLAN SLEUR, WAS WORKING FOR NIMOS AT THAT TIME AND HE WAS IN THE STAFF ROOM WHEN THE REQUEST FROM IAMGOLD WAS DISCUSSED FOR DISCHARGING CYANIDE WASTE WATER AFTER HEAVY RAINS AND FEAR FOR A DAM FAILURE.
IAMGOLD STATED WITH CHEMICAL TESTS THAT THE WATER WAS SAFE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.
ONLY DAYS AFTER THE DISCHARGE, THE NEWS REACHED TOWN THAT MANY DEAD ANIMALS AND FISH WERE SPOTTED BY THE LOCALS.
NEITHER IAMGOLD Nor NIMOS EVER CLAIMED ANY RESPONSIBILITY.
We are born with billions of nerve cells in our brain and body, connecting all our organs, eyes, ears, touch, TASTE, SMELL etc. When this system is damaged we go blind, deaf, lose control of our muscles, or we lose our SANITY.
Chronic mercury poisoning (MINAMATA DISEASE) will cause EARLY dementia and the brain will shrink as it would in Alzheimer.
ALL PREDATORY FISH LIKE THE AIMARA, CATFISH, PIRANHA OR PEACOCK BASS HAVE HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF METHYLMERCURY.
EATING THESE FISH DAILY WILL ELEVATE MERCURY LEVELS IN THE BLOOD, CAUSING NERVE DAMAGE OR ORGAN FAILURE.
