Fluoridation is government action.  What right does any government have to medicate you without your consent?  Did you agree to be medicated with a substance you weren't told about even if it is 0.9 mg/L?  Further, it is the height of hypocrisy and outright fraud to think that government exists to serve or help "the public" "the children" or "the community."  It's not.  You know that, and I know that.  We're reminded of this after a quick review of government action.  Think of the malathion spraying in California of the 1980s.  There's the picture-perfect lattices painted in the sky by government chemtrails.  Credible individuals believe those efforts to be part and parcel of a depopulation program.  I read something just last night about how AIDS is a hoax and was called so early on by reputable biologists who read all of the documents, questioned the assertions, and wrote papers criticizing the science of HIV.  What is troubling about fluoridation is that the national health agencies acknowledge its hazardous and destructive effects on health yet health groups and or citizens are unable to persuade or convict the consciences of municipal governments even though as Laurence Vance points out that it is a waste of tax-payer money.  Robert Wenzel recommends reading the following authors for their opinions: Laurence Vance, Murray Rothbard and Joseph Mercola  Hang in there.  Take precaution.  Use a filter on your shower head.  Drink distilled water.

                THE DRIVE FOR FLUORIDATION 
The 
                official drive began abruptly just before the end of World War 
                II, pushed by the U.S. Public Health Service, then in the Treasury 
                Department. In 1945, the federal government selected two Michigan 
                cities to conduct an official "15-year" study; one city, Grand 
                Rapids, was fluoridated, a control city was left unfluoridated. 
                (I am indebted to a recent revisionist article on fluoridation 
                by the medical writer Joel Griffiths, in the left-wing muckraking 
                journal Covert Action Information Bulletin: "Fluoride: 
                Commie Plot or Capitalist Ploy?" [Fall 1992], pp. 26–28, 
                63–66.) Yet, before five years were up, the government killed 
                its own "scientific study," by fluoridating the water in the second 
                city in Michigan. Why? Under the excuse that its action was caused 
                by "popular demand" for fluoridation; as we shall see, the "popular 
                demand" was generated by the government and the Establishment 
                itself. Indeed, as early as 1946, under the federal campaign, 
                six American cities fluoridated their water, and 87 more joined 
                the bandwagon by 1950.
A 
                key figure in the successful drive for fluoridation was Oscar 
                R. Ewing, who was appointed by President Truman in 1947 as head 
                of the Federal Security Agency, which encompassed the Public Health 
                Service (PHS), and which later blossomed into our beloved Cabinet 
                office of Health, Education, and Welfare. One reason for the left's 
                backing of fluoridation – in addition to its being socialized 
                medicine and mass medication, for them a good in itself – 
                was that Ewing was a certified Truman Fair Dealer and leftist, 
                and avowed proponent of socialized medicine, a high official in 
                the then-powerful Americans for Democratic Action, the nation's 
                central organization of "anti-Communist liberals" (read: Social 
                Democrats or Mensheviks). Ewing mobilized not only the respectable 
                left but also the Establishment Center. The powerful drive for 
                compulsory fluoridation was spearheaded by the PHS, which soon 
                mobilized the nation's establishment organizations of dentists 
                and physicians.
The 
                mobilization, the national clamor for fluoridation, and the stamping 
                of opponents with the right-wing kook image, was all generated 
                by the public relations man hired by Oscar Ewing to direct the 
                drive. For Ewing hired none other than Edward L. Bernays, the 
                man with the dubious honor of being called the "father of public 
                relations." Bernays, the nephew of Sigmund Freud, was called "The 
                Original Spin Doctor" in an admiring article in the Washington 
                Post on the occasion of the old manipulator's 100th birthday 
                in late 1991. The fact that right-wing groups such as the John 
                Birch Society correctly called fluoridation "creeping socialism" 
                and blamed Soviet Communism as the source of the fluoridation 
                campaign (no, not Bolsheviks, guys: but a Menshevik-State 
                Capitalist alliance, see below) was used by the Bernaysians to 
                discredit all the opposition.
As 
                a retrospective scientific article pointed out about the fluoridation 
                movement, one of its widely distributed dossiers listed opponents 
                of fluoridation "in alphabetical order reputable scientists, convicted 
                felons, food faddists, scientific organizations, and the Ku Klux 
                Klan." (Bette Hileman, "Fluoridation of Water," Chemical and 
                Engineering News 66 [August 1, 1988], p. 37; quoted in Griffiths, 
                p. 63) In his 1928 book Propaganda, 
                Bernays laid bare the devices he would use: Speaking of the "mechanism 
                which controls the public mind," which people like himself could 
                manipulate, Bernays added that "Those who manipulate the unseen 
                mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which 
                is the true ruling power of our country...our minds are molded, 
                our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have 
                never heard of..." And the process of manipulating leaders of 
                groups, "either with or without their conscious cooperation," 
                will "automatically influence" the members of such groups.
In 
                describing his practices as PR man for Beech-Nut Bacon, Bernays 
                tells how he would suggest to physicians to say publicly that 
                "it is wholesome to eat bacon." For, Bernays added, he "knows 
                as a mathematical certainty that large numbers of persons will 
                follow the advice of their doctors because he (the PR man) understands 
                the psychological relationship of dependence of men on their physicians." 
                (Edward L. Bernays, Propaganda [New York: Liveright, 1928], 
                pp. 9, 18, 49, 53. Quoted in Griffiths, p.63) Add "dentists" to 
                the equation, and substitute "fluoride" for "bacon," and we have 
                the essence of the Bernays propaganda campaign.
Before 
                the Bernays campaign, fluoride was largely known in the public 
                mind as the chief ingredient of bug and rat poison; after the 
                campaign, it was widely hailed as a safe provider of healthy teeth 
                and gleaming smiles.
After 
                the 1950s, it was all mopping up – the fluoridation forces 
                had triumphed, and two-thirds of the nation's reservoirs were 
                fluoridated. There are still benighted areas of the country left 
                however (California is less than 16 percent fluoridated) and the 
                goal of the federal government and its PHS remains as "universal 
                fluoridation."
