Perhaps the most famous Alex Jones moment, in 2015 the host ranted about a conspiracy theory involving the US government, for reasons that are unclear, chemically modifying water in order to make frogs homosexual. “I don’t like ’em puttin’ chemicals in the water that turn the friggin’ frogs gay!” But there’s so much more of the Infowars oeuvre deserving of a wistful look back. Of course, Cockburn can’t condone the host’s grim treatment of the Sandy Hook families. Unfortunately, Jones the real person is having to cash the checks that Jones the performance artist signed. In an earlier legal battle - over custody of his kids - Jones’s lawyers argued that on air, he was “playing a character.” “He is a performance artist,” attorney Randall Wilhite told a Texas judge. Infowars filed for voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy this weekend as its founder Jones faces liability in three defamation lawsuits for his ghastly claim that the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook elementary school, in which twenty students and six staff were killed, was a hoax.
He proposed making some changes to curb the effect our chemical usage has on these vulnerable populations, explaining, “If we get sufficient evidence indicating there’s a high likelihood of a population effect, perhaps we need to be more proactive about restricting.or banning these chemicals.The obituary for Alex Jones’s Infowars will not blame gay frogs, Bill Gates’s microchips or Robert Francis O’Rourke - instead, the rather less exciting cause of death will surely be Chapter 11. Tyler discussed how these changes won’t kill fish outright, but they will affect the growth of fish populations, saying, “If they are moderate to severely feminized, they are compromised as individuals and they really struggle to pass their genes on.” More than 200 chemicals were identified in the water that researchers studied, and male fish were found to be feminized because of high estrogen levels theorized to have come from the residue of flushed contraceptive drugs. "We’re starting to establish not just effects on gender, but that they can also affect other physiological processes in the fish as well,” he added. Tyler told The Independent,“If you look in terms of what gets into a fish’s liver or gonad, the analysis of the chemicals it contains is a bit of a blueprint in terms of what’s flushed down the toilet." The project was called Roach, Sex, and Gender-Bending Chemicals: The Feminization of Wild Fish in English Rivers.
Tyler, one of the two researchers on the project that began in 2008, is discussing his findings this week at the 50th Anniversary Symposium of the Fisheries Society of the British Isles. Reduced sperm quality, the development of ovarian tissues, and less aggressive competitive behavior are some of the traits scientists are finding in these affected fish populations.Ĭharles R. In a recent study, researchers found that chemicals released into aquatic ecosystems from contraceptives and other chemically engineered products are causing genetic mutations in fish populations, and even turning them into the opposite gender.Īccording to the report, a fifth of male fish has suffered mutations that have made them transgendered because of chemicals from contraceptive pills being flushed down household drains.
