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."
