I look forward to the article's Part 2, about the lawsuits that revealed what DuPont knew about C8.

DuPont stopped dumping C8 directly into the ocean because it was cheaper to dump into the landfill and river. The sea is far away and the river flows by the chemical plant. It makes good economic sense to dump into the river and save transportation costs to the ocean. "Good economic sense" and good sense are often in conflict in America.

The deposition of a DuPont expert named Douglas Weed suggests a possible line of attack: that Bartlett, who lives just a few miles downriver from the DuPont plant, developed the cancer because she’s overweight. Or, perhaps, just by chance.

The role of luck — that two things often correlate just by chance — was a major point of Weed’s testimony, for which DuPont paid the former employee of the National Cancer Institute more than $100,000. During his deposition in March 2015, the doctor estimated that since leaving the government agency eight years ago he has made between $5 million and $6 million providing expert testimony to companies in such corporate defense cases.

In July, DuPont spun off its chemical division into a separate company called Chemours. DuPont has promised to cover whatever settlements result from the crop of personal injury claims scheduled to come to trial in the fall. But, if they’re ever levied, cleanup costs for the C8 DuPont leaked into the larger environment, which could add up to many billions of dollars, could fall to Chemours, a much smaller company.

But the 80,000 new chemicals on the face of this planet couldn't have anything to do with it. It must just be a coincidence.

President Trump may have lied to Mueller, House Democrats say

Lawyers for the House of Representatives revealed on Monday that they have reason to believe that the grand-jury redactions in special counsel Robert Mueller’s report show that President Donald Trump lied about his knowledge of his campaign’s contacts with WikiLeaks.

MOSCOW -- A Russian publishing house printed a series of books about President Vladimir Putin under the names of Western analysts and journalists without the authors' permission.

"Even by Moscow standards, this is a surreal story," The Guardian's Luke Harding told UPI Tuesday. Harding joins The Economist's Edward Lucas and Donald Jensen, a U.S. based Russia expert, whom all say they had no knowledge that the Russian-language books would be attributed to them. The books were produced by the Moscow publisher Algoritm in a series called Project Putin, as reported by The Moscow Times.

But, they did not write them.

"The first I learned of my 'book' was when a Russian friend found it in a store a couple of weeks ago and tweeted me a picture. I haven't seen a hard copy. The publisher has told Russian TV and radio he got hold of the Ukrainian edition of my book Mafia State, which came out in 2014, then translated it into Russian, and published a version of it without my consent! His excuse -- 'I couldn't get hold of him.' Ridiculous," exclaimed Harding.

"I think, most probably, this is a piece of opportunism by [an] unscrupulous publisher trying to make a buck. They've pirated several other 'works,' as you know, by Henry Kissinger, David Sattar, Michael Bohm and Ed Lucas," Harding also told UPI.

"The only thing that gives me pause for thought is that the story has got incredibly wide traction on Russian state TV."

While I agree the chemicals ARE a factor, someone should really explain the concept of exponential growth to Kiki. More people with Autism are surviving and reproducing than EVER before. Before long most of the planet will be Autistic.
