Water contamination in the United States is at an all-time high, which was further illustrated by a new study published in the Journal Heliyon. The study looked at 22 cancer-causing compounds that researchers found in 48,363 U.S. municipal water systems. It’s the first of its kind to contemplate the total cancer risk from the mixture of these chemical compounds which have been found in tap water.

In Canada, for example, First Nations reserves have some of the worst drinking water in the world. It’s terrible and makes absolutely no sense at all.

I drew that personal conclusion when Reagan became their president. The order of the day was to steal the wealth and relocate, using the military to protect their economic invasions of third world countries to exploit raw natural resources and labour. That can only end when suitable areas to invade are gone, labour is dead natural resources are plundered to the last and the brain-dead consumer pool has run out of credit. How close are we?
