THE REAL MOLD RUSH - the REAL reason for New Times LAWeekly Attack Piece on Sharon and War on Mold Illness?

[Guest guest]

I just had a thought. New Times (the publisher of LAWeekly) has a

large presence in many cities like Los Angeles where rent control

provides tenants with protections like " just cause " eviction laws.

These laws theoretically are supposed to act in preventing unfettered

rapid gentrification and real estate development.

DEVEOPERS are the new tycoons. They make TRILLIONS of dollars off of

gentrification, and they are THE core constituency of the New Times

advertiser and political base. (In the fight against this, of course,

in the current political environment, tenants are failing.. because

tenants are powerless to stop things like mold warfare)

Rising fuel costs have made inner city living much more desirable.

New Time's allies, large real estate developers, have been buying up

large urban apartment complexes all around the country with the aim of

demolishing them or stripping them of rent controlled tenants, or

turning them into condos, (utterly destroying affordable housing and

communities that include middle class and low income people in the

process and making many people on fixed incomes and working people who

don't make enough, basically six figure incomes, homeless.)

My wife and I lived in a community like that, and we were

theoretically protected by a law, however, our landlord turned toxic

mold into a weapon and a one or two week repair into a year IN ORDER

TO EVICT US.

Imagine this happening on a MASSIVE scale and you have a huge

displacement of people, in essence a land rush that will transform

cities from diverse communities that include working people, into

yuppie and trustafarian monocultures, with mold being used as a

biological weapon of mass destruction.

The REAL mold rush.. For landlords wanting to get rid of tenants,

truly, " mold is gold " .

IT CAN'T BE USED IN SUCH A WAY IF THERE IS MASS AWARENESS OF ITS

DESTRUCTIVE EFFECTS..

Trillions of dollars is riding on this issue. The large real estate

developers would like to transform cities economically in the same way

New Orleans was transformed, without the need for a hurricane to do

the dirty work.

The rising cost of gas has made city real estate very valuable.

In their eyes, too valuable for poor and working people to be able to

continue to live there.

Trillions of dollars is involved. Often, hundreds of thousands of

dollars PER APARTMENT...

I couldn't have said it better myself! Very well stated! Most people

have no idea just how big this MOLD WAR is and how devastating it

could potentially be for thousands, even, millions of people.

But this goes even beyond just mold. " Government " is trying to wipe

out all middle class and poor people by any means necessary; through

illness (toxic exposures from mold, chemicals, etc.), our food supply

with Genectically Modified (GM) foods, hitting financially by taking

our homes (legally or illegally), BIG PHARMA, lobbyists and the big

corporations that control congress ( and not to mention all the

EARMARKS and the tax dollars being wasted on that).

I feel like we are at war. And we are Mold Warriors who are fighting

for the health and rights to safe environments to live and work. But

we are just one piece of the pie.

PS. I hope I didn't ramble too much and made some kind of sense. I

woke up today with severe brain fog and fatigue. I'm a bit out of it

but I'm trying to keep up. I can't even describe the feeling I'm

having now but I know it's not good. I've got to get out of this

house so I can breath some non-toxic air.... sorry, rambling. I'm

just trying to make it to the shower.....

Dana, Lord knows your not alone. Ramble on my friend for your words speak

volumes. I have fought off the shower all day and on your last note Im off to

limp my way under the water.

 

Stay strong my friend. right now just worry about the battle and not the war,

the stress will break you down.
