5. Not round up, Europe has pinned the cause on neo-nicitinic pesticides which make up about 90-95% of pesticide use in

this country. The supposed GMO revolution has increased use because instead of improving resistance to pests, much of the modifications have focused on increasing resistance to pesticides so that more can be applied without killing the crops.
Personally I believe that the neo-nics may be what are making everyone crazy. The nicotinic receptors in the brain when activated cause the release of seratonin and dopamine (calming neurotransmitters). I think the pesticide is lodging in these receptors and sticking there, without activating the release of seratonin and dopamine. The net effect is that people are running around like a smoker trying to quit.

Isaiah 24:4-5 The land suffers for the sins of its people. The earth languishes, the crops wither, the skies refuse their rain. The land is defiled by crime; the people have twisted the laws of God and broken his everlasting commands.

Jeremiah 22: 3 This is what the Lord says: Do what is just and right. Rescue from the hand of the oppressor the one who has been robbed. Do no wrong or violence to the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place. 4 For if you are careful to carry out these commands, then kings who sit on David’s throne will come through the gates of this palace, riding in chariots and on horses, accompanied by their officials and their people. 5 But if you do not obey these commands, declares the Lord, I swear by myself that this palace will become a ruin.’”
6 For this is what the Lord says about the palace of the king of Judah:
“Though you are like Gilead to me, like the summit of Lebanon, I will surely make you like a wasteland, like towns not inhabited.
7 I will send destroyers against you, each man with his weapons, and they will cut up your fine cedar beams and throw them into the fire.

I was reading Jeremiah at the time when it was just discovered that he was locking children up, separated from their parents and I kne we were in trouble.
