FUN!

The Blob Opera

I am sharing an amazingly fun thing. They are the Blobs and they can sing. I made them sing a wonderfully original work. The Blobs blink, breathe, and follow your pointer.

Send this to every kid you know. I don’t know how long this existed. The word “Experiment” is in the title. If I could download this or purchase this, I would.

Blobs singing Gregorian Chant!  Blobs singing jazz! Wow!

The Unvaxxed are being tracked?!

Members of the American public, not the American public itself, would know about The Real Anthony Fauci.

“Well. How would we know if they don’t tell us?” What was told was what they wanted you to know. Beyond that, you have to dig. Stop playing the victim.  “Well. I…”

Get The Real Anthony Fauci Movie 

The Real Anthony Fauci Book – notice that this man has not sued. The legal apparatus to defend one’s reputation and power was never applied. It was not because the content is true. IF Fauci sued, it may cause unwanted attention and sell more books. It’s better to keep quiet than to give free advertising to something one wishes never existed.

I received an email from the Real Antony Fauci Team. It brought to my attention something I did not know existed. I am a person who refused the jab. I, and others like me, are being tracked. -Allison

 

Have you heard of the ICD-10 code?

 

It’s a sneaky trick and something they DO NOT want you to know about…

 

That’s because this code is part of a secret government program to TRACK the UNVAXXED.

 

Dr. Robert Malone has revealed that a covert surveillance program

 

Developed by the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), a division of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)…

 

Is being used to monitor unvaxxed Americans…

 

PLUS, those who received “partial doses” of the C0VlD vaxx.

 

The program was “launched” on April 1, 2022, but was not widely adopted by most US medical facilities until January of 2023.

 

This means…

 

Healthcare providers in clinics and hospitals have been directed to inquire about patients’ vaccination status during visits to a doctor’s office or hospital

 

Your response is then included in their electronic medical records using a diagnostic code called the ICD-10 code

 

This code allows them to monitor the unvaxxed, not only within the healthcare system but also beyond it.

 

Dr. Malone explains how this code would work:

 

“Code Number Z28.310 listed above is not a code for an illness or diagnosis, but rather for non-compliance of a medical procedure… Once a person’s vaccination status is coded and uploaded into a large database, it can be accessed by government and private health insurers alike.

 

“The administrative state officers at the CDC have not made immunization status a reportable disease (yet) but immunization status is listed as one of the reasons for mandatory reporting. They are just one step away from being able to collect this information without your permission. Ergo: vaccine passports made easy.

 

In this country, not having your vaccine records ‘up-to-date’ might mean:

  • The government will not restrict your travel, but airlines will.
  • The government will not restrict your travel, other nations will.
  • The government will not restrict your travel, auto rental companies will.
  • The government will not restrict your travel, public transport will.
  • The government will not restrict your travel, private companies will.”

“Based on this, we can see how this deceitful form of “freedom” manipulates the perception of the vaxxed.”

 

So, why go to such extremes?

 

To ensure our compliance with their deadly jabs!

 

This is only ONE of the reasons why you need to set some time aside because TODAY, Jonothan Otto, will be releasing his latest updates like the ICD-10 code and SO MUCH MORE.

 

If you want to stay aware and alert you should be paying close attention HERE.

 

Uncover the global government’s agenda – including how they are slowly stripping away our rights and violating our privacy in the most unheard-of ways.

 

Get your f.ree access before they censor it for good.

 

IT ALL STARTS TODAY SO DON’T MISS A MINUTE OF IT.

 

With appreciation,

Breakdown

April 18, 2023, by Allison Williams Hill

In-Vesica  Art  Design  Energy

“Do All Things In-Vesica.”

The breakdown is growing. I looked at the 21 Goals of the Illuminati and The Committee of 300.  This was at Educate-Yourself in the early 2000s, written by John Coleman in 1993.  It is clear that the laws, designed over centuries in all cultures, are disintegrating. An almost unnoticeable unraveling of the behavioral structure was underway. The latest is the United Nation’s input to reduce the criminalization of the worse conditions of societies worldwide. However, as it is formatted to appear as relief, as awareness to remove punishment and stigma, it could have gone further to have developed a responsible context that improves protection.

Natali and Clayton Morris of Redacted (above) discussed the United Nation’s publication called  The 8 March Principles for a Human Rights-Based Approach to Criminal Law Proscribing Conduct Associated with Sex, Reproduction, Drug Use, HIV, Homelessness and Poverty “…a new set of expert jurist legal principles to guide the application of international human rights law to criminal law. Natali said some alarming things. I put the document title in the browser and read right along with her. It reminded me of the Codex Alimentarius, the effort to reduce supplements to minimal amounts worldwide so that all countries are on the same level.  Science has shown that different people have different needs; amounts need to change according to individuals. Comparing access;  activity, and affordability among countries, people who made a practice out of using larger doses of vitamin C supplements, who are not surrounded by tropical foods (it was like that when we lived in the Virgin Islands UK) could fulfill their additional requirements only with prescriptions.

“PRINCIPLE 10 – CRIMINAL LIABILITY MAY NOT BE BASED ON DISCRIMINATORY GROUNDS No one may be held criminally liable for conduct that does not constitute a criminal offence if committed by another person and where the criminalization of such conduct constitutes prohibited discrimination under international or domestic law.”

I take the above to mean if a White person was not  arrested and convicted for a crime, and a Black person comes behind them, committing the same crime,  does that mean that the Black person shall not be arrested and convicted because of the previous case?

“No one may be held criminally liable for conduct or status based on their gender identity or gender expression. This includes gender identities and forms of gender expression that are perceived not to conform to societal expectations or norms relating to gender roles, the sex assigned to a person at birth or a male-female binary, among others. No one may be held criminally liable for consensual practices aiming to assist others with the exploration, free development and/or affirmation of sexual orientation or gender identity, unless there was force, coercion, fraud or medical negligence, or a lack of free and informed decision-making on the part of the person concerned.”

When I read the above, and perhaps I’m being extremely literal and ignorant, I thought of Adam Graham, a male rapist in the U.K. who “transitioned” before trial.  I am pleased that he was convicted. If this is adopted, would that mean his victims will have a more difficult time proving that the acts were not consensual?

There are a lot of interesting points. One is Principle 16: Consensual Sexual Conduct. I gather from this that child marriages between adults and children are acceptable. Adultery may no longer be grounds for divorce. Religious tenets are no longer considered. Children will be acceptable sex partners. There are no limits, in that, as public demonstrations of affection between homosexuals are no longer punished, all boundaries between all humans are eliminated.

We were on this track already. The blatant, in-security’s-faces robberies in stores in California demonstrated the lawlessness that these principles support- poverty and homelessness. So we add a few more logs to the fire.

PRINCIPLE 16 – CONSENSUAL SEXUAL CONDUCT

“Consensual sexual conduct, irrespective of the type of sexual activity, the sex/gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression of the people involved or their marital status, may not be criminalized in any circumstances. Consensual same-sex, as well as consensual different-sex sexual relations, or consensual sexual relations with or between trans, non-binary and other gender diverse people, or outside marriage – whether pre-marital or extramarital – may, therefore, never be criminalized. With respect to the enforcement of criminal law, any prescribed minimum age of consent to sex must be applied in a non-discriminatory manner. Enforcement may not be linked to the sex/gender of participants or age of consent to marriage.

“Moreover, sexual conduct involving persons below the domestically prescribed minimum age of consent to sex may be consensual in fact, if not in law. In this context, the enforcement of criminal law should reflect the rights and capacity of persons under 18 years of age to make decisions about engaging in consensual sexual conduct and their right to be heard in matters concerning them. Pursuant to their evolving capacities and progressive autonomy, persons under 18 years of age should participate in decisions affecting them, with due regard to their age, maturity and best interests, and with specific attention to non-discrimination guarantees.”

How would a kid under 18 know how or what to decide about this?   And then, they may be more aware earlier. An eleven-year-old was raping a six-year-old boy on a school bus recently. The bus driver would stop the bus occasionally because s/he heard fighting. I am not aware if the driver ever walked to the place where the fighting occurred. The only way the parent found out about the abuse her child suffered was that his school bag was missing and the search for it included looking at videos.  If this is adopted, would that mean that this sexually aggressive child would be free to continue abusing other younger chidren?   Parents can’t say no, but rather, “Eleven-year-old Casey, what would you like to do?”

We are getting help with this. When we think of children, we think of Disney. Disney’s staff was reduced when police arrested child traffickers that worked there, with free reign over the grounds, and knowledge of secret places. There are people there who want to change young minds. Maybe they were exposed and no longer employed. Watch the short below.

21 Goals of the Illuminati and The Committee of 300

By Dr. John Coleman.(Written ca. 1993)
http://educate-yourself.org/cn/johncolemangoalsofIlluminati.shtml#top

21 Goals of the Illuminati and The Committee of 300 by Dr. John Coleman (ca. 1993)

F rom: Conspirators’ Hierachy: The Story of The Committee of 300

  1. To establish a One World Government/New World Order with a unified church and monetary system under their direction. The One World Government began to set up its church in the 1920:s and 30:s, for they realized the need for a religious belief inherent in mankind must have an outlet and, therefore, set up a “church” body to channel that belief in the direction they desired.
  2. To bring about the utter destruction of all national identity and national pride, which was a primary consideration if the concept of a One World Government was to work.
  3. To engineer and bring about the destruction of religion, and more especially, the Christian Religion, with the one exception, their own creation, as mentioned above.
  4. To establish the ability to control of each and every person through means of mind control and whatZbignew Brzezinski called techonotronics, which would create human-like robots and a system of terror which would make Felix Dzerzinhski’s Red Terror look like children at play.
  5. To bring about the end to all industrialization and to end the production of nuclear generated electric power in what they call “the post-industrial zero-growth society“. Excepted are the computer- and service industries. US industries that remain will be exported to countries such as Mexico where abundant slave labor is available. As we saw in 1993, this has become a fact through the passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement, known as NAFTA. Unemployables in the US, in the wake of industrial destruction, will either become opium-heroin and/or cocaine addicts, or become statistics in the elimination of the “excess population” process we know of today as Global 2000.
  6. To encourage, and eventually legalize the use of drugs and make pornography an “art-form”, which will be widely accepted and, eventually, become quite commonplace.
  7. To bring about depopulation of large cities according to the trial run carried out by the Pol Pot regime in Cambodia. It is interesting to note that Pol Pot’s genocidal plans were drawn up in the US by one of the Club of Rome’s research foundations, and overseen by Thomas Enders, a high-ranking State Department official. It is also interesting that the committee is currently seeking to reinstate the Pol Pot butchers in Cambodia.
  8. To suppress all scientific development except for those deemed beneficial by the Illuminati. Especially targeted is nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. Particularly hated are the fusion experiments currently being scorned and ridiculed by the Illuminati and its jackals of the press. Development of the fusion torch would blow the Illuminati’s conception of “limited natural resources” right out of the window. A fusion torch, properly used, could create unlimited and as yet untapped natural resources, even from the most ordinary substances. Fusion torch uses are legion, and would benefit mankind in a manner which, as yet, is not even remotely comprehended by the public.
  9. To cause. by means of A) limited wars in the advanced countries, B) by means of starvation and diseases in the Third World countries, the death of three billion people by the year 2050, people they call “useless eaters”. The Committee of 300 (Illuminati) commissioned Cyrus Vance to write a paper on this subject of how to bring about such genocide. The paper was produced under the title “Global 2000 Report” and was accepted and approved for action by former President James Earl Carter, and Edwin Muskie, then Secretary of States, for and on behalf of the US Government. Under the terms of the Global 2000 Report, the population of the US is to be reduced by 100 million by the year of 2050.
  10. To weaken the moral fiber of the nation and to demoralize workers in the labor class by creating mass unemployment. As jobs dwindle due to the post industrial zero growth policies introduced by the Club of Rome, the report envisages demoralized and discouraged workers resorting to alcohol and drugs. The youth of the land will be encouraged by means of rock music and drugs to rebel against the status quo, thus undermining and eventually destroying the family unit. In this regard, the Committee commissioned Tavistock Institute to prepare a blueprint as to how this could be achieved. Tavistock directed Stanford Research to undertake the work under the direction of Professor Willis Harmon. This work later became known as the “Aquarian Conspiracy“.
  11. To keep people everywhere from deciding their own destinies by means of one created crisis after another and then “managing” such crises. This will confuse and demoralize the population to the extent where faced with too many choices, apathy on a massive scale will result. In the case of the US, an agency for Crisis Management is already in place. It is called the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), whose existence I first enclosed in 1980.
  12. To introduce new cults and continue to boost those already functioning which include rock music gangsters such as the Rolling Stones(a gangster group much favored by European Black Nobility), and all of the Tavistock-created rock groups which began with the Beatles.
  13. To continue to build up the cult of Christian Fundamentalismbegun by the British East India Company’s servant Darby, which will be misused to strengthen the Zionist State of Israel by identifying with the Jews through the myth of “God’s chosen people”, and by donating very substantial amounts of money to what they mistakenly believe is a religious cause in the furtherance of Christianity.
  14. To press for the spread of religious cults such as the Moslem BrotherhoodMoslem Fundamentalism, the Sikhs, and to carry out mind control experiments of the Jim Jones and “Son of Sam” type. It is worth noting that the late Khomeini was a creation of British Military Intelligence Div. 6, MI6. This detailed work spelled out the step-by-step process which the US Government implemented to put Khomeini in power.
  15. To export “religious liberation” ideas around the world so as to undermine all existing religions, but more especially the Christian religion. This began with the “Jesuit Liberation Theology”, that brought an end to the Somoza Family rule in Nicaragua, and which today is destroying El Salvador, now 25 years into a “civil war”. Costa Rica and Honduras are also embroiled in revolutionary activities, instigated by the Jesuits. One very active entity engaged in the so-called liberation theology, is the Communist-oriented Mary Knoll Mission. This accounts for the extensive media attention to the murder of four of Mary Knoll’s so-called nuns in El Salvador a few years ago. The four nuns were Communist subversive agents and their activities were widely documented by the Government of El Salvador. The US press and the new media refused to give any space or coverage to the mass of documentation possessed by the Salvadorian Government, which proved what the Mary Knoll Mission nuns were doing in the country. Mary Knoll is in service in many countries, and placed a leading role in bringing Communism to Rhodesia, Moçambique, Angola and South Africa.
  16. To cause a total collapse of the world’s economies and engender total political chaos.
  17. To take control of all foreign and domestic policies of the US.
  18. To give the fullest support to supranational institutions such as the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Bank of International Settlements, the World Court and, as far as possible, make local institutions less effective, by gradually phasing them out or bringing them under the mantle of the UN.
  19. To penetrate and subvert all governments, and work from within them to destroy the sovereign integrity of the nations represented by them.
  20. To organize a world-wide terrorist apparatus[Al-queda, ISIS, ISIL, etc.] and to negotiate with terrorists whenever terrorist activities take place. It will be recalled that it was Bettino Craxi, who persuaded the Italian and US Governments to negotiate with the Red Brigades kidnapers of Prime Minister Moro and General Dozier. As an aside, Dozier was placed under strict orders not to talk what happened to him. Should he ever break that silence, he will no doubt be made “a horrible example of”, in the manner in which Henry Kissinger dealt with Aldo Moro, Ali Bhutto and General Zia ul Haq.
  21. To take control of education in America with the intent and purpose of utterly and completely destroying it. By 1993, the full force effect of this policy is becoming apparent, and will be even more destructive as primary and secondary schools begin to teach “Outcome Based Education” (OBE).

All of this is underway. I choose to believe that there are conscious people in this country and around the world. The non-elected, greedy, power-hungry,  and lacking thereof physical and intellectual attributes that are considered powerful; attractive, and respectable, will slide beneath the substrata. They will emerge again because their negative drive will force them to do so.

In-Vesica is about a balance between the world some people think that they have the right to create for others, despite not being asked, and the consciousness that everyone came into this world to learn how to use.

The Government Assault Against Ivermectin and other Safe SARS-2 Treatments

Richard Gale and Gary Null PhD

Progressive Radio Network, September 1, 2021

(Source: https://garynull.com/the-government-assault-against-ivermectin-and-other-safe-sars-2-treatments-2/)

Had the FDA and Anthony Fauci’s National Institute for Allergies and Infectious Disease (NIAID) started approving existing clinically-proven and inexpensive drugs for treating malaria, parasites and other pathogens at the start of the pandemic, millions of people would have been saved from experiencing serious infections or dying from the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Why federal health officials never followed this strategy is a question the mainstream media refuses to ask.

Another question that the medical establishment, let alone our compliant media, is why have they failed to ask whether there are reliable studies in the peer-reviewed literature and testimonies from thousands of day-to-day clinical physicians worldwide who treat Covid-19 patients with these drugs, in particular hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and Ivermectin. We may also point out the many different natural remedies, such as nigella sativa, curcumin, vitamin D, melatonin, etc, which have been shown to be effective against SARS-2 infections. In most nations, there has been enormous success in treating Covid patients at the early and moderate stages of infection. However, in the US, Anthony Fauci, Bill Gates, the FDA and our federal medical officials have categorically denied their use.  In fact during the past couple weeks, there has been an aggressive and concerted effort to erect obstacles to prevent the employment of these more effective drugs. More recently a widespread campaign is underway to denigrate them altogether.

For example, the TOGETHER trial is now touted by the mainstream media as a flagship study showing that ivermectin is ineffective and even dangerous to prescribe. The study was conducted by professor Edward Mills at McMaster University in Ontario. If we are to believe the New York Times, the trial, which enrolled 1,300 patients, was discontinued because Mills claimed the drug was no better than a placebo. However, there is strong reason to believe this entire trial was nothing less than a staged theatrical performance. When asked, Mills denied having any conflict of interests.  However, Mills happens to be employed as a clinical trial advisor for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.  The Gates Foundation was also the trial’s principal funder.  It may be noted that various organizations and agencies in other nations, such as the Health Products Regulatory Authority in South Africa, which have banned ivermectin, are often funded by Gates. It is naïve to believe that Gates has any philanthropic intentions whatsoever to see a highly effective treatment for SARS-2 infections reach worldwide approval. These drugs are in direct competition to his enormous investments and unwavering commitment to the Covid-19 vaccines.

In the meantime, Americans only have monoclonal antibody therapy and the controversial and ineffective drug Remdesivir at their disposal. Remdesivir’s average effectiveness for late stage treatment is only 22 percent.  A Chinese study published in The Lancet found no statistically significant benefit in the drug and 12 percent of participants taking the drug had to discontinue treatment due to serious adverse effects, especially liver and kidney damage.

When questions are posited as a general argument for advocating expedient measures to protect public health during this pandemic, would it not have been wise to have prioritized for emergency use HCQ, Ivermectin, and other remedies with a record of curtailing Covid, such as the antibiotic azithromycin, zinc, selenium, Vitamins C and D, and melatonin as a first line of defense?  There was absolutely no need to have waited for experimental vaccines or experimental drugs such as Remdesivir before the pandemic became uncontrollable.  But this is what Fauci and Trump, and now Biden, permitted to happen.

If this strategy of medical intervention had been followed, would it have been successful?  The answer is likely an unequivocal “yes”.  Both HCQ and, even better, Ivermectin have been prophylactically prescribed by physicians working on pandemic’s front lines with enormous success.  Yet those American physicians struggling to get this urgent message out to federal health officials are being marginalized and ridiculed en masse. Only in the US, the UK, France, South Africa and several other developed nations has there been a stubborn hubris to deny their effectiveness. The World Health Organization recommends Ivermectin for Covid-19 so why not the US and these other nations? Under oath, multiple physicians and professors at American medical schools have testified before Congress to present the scientific evidence supporting HCQ and Ivermectin.  These are otherwise medical professionals at the very heart of treating Covid-19 patients.

Today, American journalism is in shambles. In fact, it is a disgrace.  The American public is losing trust in the media. Whether it is CNN, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the liberal tabloid Daily Beast, NPR or PBS, each has unlimited resources to properly investigate the federal and institutional machinery behind the government health policies being thrust upon us.  Yet no mainstream journalist has found the moral compass to bring this truth to the public.

In the meantime, we are allowing millions to die, and countless others to be seriously affected from a severe infection because of professional medical neglect and a healthcare system favoring the pharmaceutical industry’s frantic rush to develop expensive novel drugs and experimental vaccines. The incentive by the drug makers is to take every advantage available within the FDA’s emergency use loopholes to get their products approved as quickly as possible.  The primary advantage is that these novel drugs and vaccines can then leap over regulatory hurdles, which otherwise would require them to conduct lengthy and thorough clinical trials to prove their efficacy and safety. The consequence is that none of the new pharmaceutical Covid-19 interventions have been adequately reviewed.

On the other hand, HCQ and Ivermectin have an established legacy of prior research and have been on the market for decades. Worldwide, it is not unreasonable to claim that billions of people have been treated with these drugs.

Below is a breakdown of the studies conducted so far for HCQ, Ivermectin and Vitamin D specifically for combatting the SARS-CoV-2 virus

Hydroxychloroquine

344 studies, 250 peer-reviewed have been conducted specifically for Covid-19

281 have been clinical trials that involved 4,583 scientists and over 407,627 patients

64% improvement in 31 early treatment trials

75% improvement in 13 early stage infection treatment mortality results

21% improvement in 190 late stage infection treatment trials (patients in serious condition)

23% improvement in 44 randomized controlled trials

Full list of HCQ studies and details:  https://c19hcq.com

Ivermectin

131 studies, 52 peer-reviewed have been conducted specifically for Covid-19

63 have been clinical trials that involved 613 scientists and over 26,398 patients

58% improvement in 31 randomized controlled trials

86% improvement in 14 prophylaxis trials

72% improvement in 27 early stage infection treatment trials

40% improvement in 22 late stage infection treatment trials

58% improvement in 25 mortality results

Full list of Ivermectin studies and details:  https://c19ivermectin.com

Other inexpensive repurposed drugs for treating SARS-2

Fluvoxamine

88% improvement in early treatment

29% improvement in late stage treatment

63% improvement in all 7 peer-reviewed studies

Vitamin D

101 studies conducted by over 875 scientists

63 sufficiency studies with 34,863 patients

33 treatment trials with 46,860 patients

42% improvement in 33 treatment trials

56% improvement in 68 sufficiency studies

55% improvement in 19 treatment mortality results

Full list of Vitamin D studies and details:  https://c19vitamind.com

In contrast there have been 21 studies enrolling 35,744 patients in Remdesivir trials showing only a 22% improvement in all studies combined. This rate is below that of simply taking probiotics (5 studies at 24% improvement), melatonin (7 studies at 62% improvement), curcumin (4 studies at 71% improvement), nigella sativa (3 studies at 84% improvement), quercetin (4 studies at 76% improvement), and aspirin (7 studies at 37% improvement).  Despite the small number of trials and low numbers of enrolled participants, early results indicate that greater attention and funding needs to be allocated for more rigorous research if there is to be any success in curbing SARS-2 infections’ severity.

Please share this information. The inept policies and measures being taken by our federal health officials and by both the former Trump and present Biden administrations are unparalleled in American healthcare history. And never before has the media been so willing to self-censor and been so grossly irresponsible to hide the published science and the truth.

Why wasn’t this part of the national media?

EPA proposes bold new limits for tackling ‘forever chemicals’ in drinking water

WASHINGTON – Today the Environmental Protection Agency unveiled unprecedented new limits on the toxic “forever chemicals” known as PFAS as a way to tackle drinking water contamination. The proposal targets six notorious PFAS – PFOA, PFOS, GenX, PFBS, PFNA and PFHxS.

The limits, known as maximum contaminant levels, or MCLs, are the highest level of a contaminant allowed in drinking water. In addition to weighing health, these limits take water treatment costs and feasibility into consideration. The MCLs announced are 4 parts per trillion, or ppt, for PFOA and 4 ppt for PFOS, currently the limit of detection for both chemicals. For the other four PFAS chemicals, the EPA is proposing a “hazard index,” which is a tool the agency uses to address cumulative risks from mixtures of chemicals.

While these are the first federal proposed drinking water limits for PFAS, 10 states already have final or interim enforceable drinking water limits for PFAS.

“Today’s announcement by the EPA is historic progress,” said Scott Faber, senior vice president for government affairs at the Environmental Working Group. “More than 200 million Americans could have PFAS in their tap water. Americans have been drinking contaminated water for decades. This proposal is a critical step toward getting these toxic poisons out of our water.

“The EPA’s proposed limits also serve as a stark reminder of just how toxic these chemicals are to human health at very low levels,” said Faber.

The EPA also set a Maximum Contaminant Level Goal, or MCLG, for PFOA and PFOS of zero, based on identified cancer risks. An MCLG is the maximum level of a contaminant in drinking water at which the EPA determines that no adverse health effects would occur. Whenever there is an identified cancer risk, the MCLG is set at zero.

“Today we can celebrate a huge victory for public health in this country – EPA is finally moving forward to protect drinking water across the United States by proposing federally enforceable limits on some of the most toxic, persistent, and bioaccumulative chemicals ever found in our nation’s drinking water supply,” said Rob Bilott, the attorney who uncovered the widespread presence of PFAS chemicals and whose story is told in his book “Exposure” and portrayed in the movie “Dark Waters.”

“It has taken far too long to get to this point, but the scientific facts and truth about the health threat posed by these man-made poisons have finally prevailed over the decades of corporate cover-ups and misinformation campaigns designed to mislead the public and delay action,” said Bilott.

PFAS have been linked to cancerreproductive harmimmune system damage and other serious health problems, even at low levels. The EPA has known about the risks from PFAS since at least the 1990s.

“During these decades of lax regulatory oversight, scientific studies have discovered an increasing number of ways that PFAS wreck havoc in our bodies and harm our health,” said David Andrews, Ph.D., a senior scientist at EWG. “These six PFAS stand out as some of the most well-studied PFAS, but the entire class of chemicals is a health concern. Action to reduce exposure cannot come soon enough.”

In June, the EPA proposed updated lifetime health advisories, or LHAs, for PFOA and PFOS and published new LHAs for PFBS and GenX. LHAs provide information on contaminants in drinking water that can harm people exposed to them throughout their lives.

The new EPA health risk assessment for the LHAs for the first time included studies on people, including children, and showed that PFAS exposure can cause health harms at levels much lower than the EPA’s previous health guideline of 70 ppt for PFOA and PFOS in water.

“By proposing to regulate four other PFAS as a mixture, the Biden EPA is also putting our communities ahead of the polluters,” said Activist and Actor Mark Ruffalo. “My message to polluters is simple: After poisoning your workers and neighbors for decades, it is time to make our public health, not your profits, our top priority. My message to communities devastated by PFAS pollution is equally simple: Help is finally on the way.”

PFAS have been found in the drinking water and ground water of more than 2,800 communities. But the true scale of contamination is likely much greater.

EWG estimates there could be nearly 30,000 industrial polluters releasing PFAS into the environment, including into sources of drinking water. Restricting industrial discharges will reduce the amount of PFAS that drinking water utilities must treat. In January, the EPA delayed proposed rules limiting discharges of PFAS from certain industries.

“Polluters must clean up their own mess and stop PFAS contamination at the source, instead of passing those costs onto utilities and ratepayers,” said Melanie Benesh, EWG’s vice president of government affairs. “In addition to finalizing these limits, the EPA must move quickly to regulate industrial discharges of PFAS into the air and water.”

Under the Safe Drinking Water Act, the EPA has until September 3, 2024, to finalize the new drinking water standards. Drinking water utilities will then likely have three to five years to comply. Congress provided funding in the 2021 bipartisan infrastructure law to address PFAS in drinking water.

“The proposed nationwide standards to limit exposure to PFAS in drinking water are a welcome development to address the harms these toxic chemicals have already inflicted upon individuals and communities,” said Tasha Stoiber, Ph.D., a senior scientist at EWG.

“Decades of unchecked use and releases of PFAS chemicals have devastated the planet by contaminating people, drinking water, and food, including fish and wildlife across the globe,” she added.

Because of current EPA guidelines, between 2023 and 2025, most water utilities will be required to test drinking water for 29 PFAS. That effort will provide more insight into the extent of contamination from those chemicals, which may prompt regulation of other compounds.

The proposed MCL is limited to six notorious PFAS. Treatment technologies installed to comply with the MCL mean other PFAS will effectively be treated too, which will reduce total PFAS levels in drinking water.
