Jim Ostrowski: City of Buffalo Putting Fluoride Back in the Drinking Water

4:35, PAM.  Pam says that fluoride has an accumulative effect.  So once it's in your body, it's there for a lifetime and it cannot be removed.  

On that point, I'm not so sure.  I think cilantro has a decent record of eliminating mercury, which is different, but it seems to help in the removal of fluoride.  But Pam says it's there for a lifetime.  So we'll wait and see, or we'll read and see.  She says that it is a neurotoxin, meaning that it can cross the blood-brain barrier, meaning that it injures the brain and the central nervous system.  The more than you take in, it slowly changes the body's chemistry and slowly brings on disease.  And the city of Buffalo, New York is putting fluoride back into the water without the consent of citizens.  It can hurt kidney function and bring on kidney failure, especially in our elderly population.  Many women do not have the money to buy spring water, fluoride-free, so they'll be cooking for their babies, cooking for their children, and making formula for their babies with fluoridated water.  We know that it reduces IQ, not a joke, this is real.  It's really true.  And once IQ goes down, it's not going to come back.  I'm a retired Buffalo School teacher.  The question is how many more special ed classes can we pack into a school?  

Fluoride that is used topically on your teeth is spat out.  You brush your teeth with it, you spit it out.  Imagine a sponge drinking water with fluoride.  Your body is a sponge, all of your cells start to absorb these toxic chemicals.  

Oh, is it natural, does it come from the earth?  Heck no.  Do you know where it comes from?  It comes from the atmosphere.  It's harvested from probably chemtrails.  It's part of the industrial waste.  

"Oh, well, we've got to find somewhere to put it.  Let's put it in our water.  Wow!  Great idea!" 

All I can tell you is that there is a family with a lawsuit against the city or a group of people and I would be willing to sit down with them and look at the other side of this.  It was a blessing that Buffalo didn't have fluoride in its water from 2015 'til tomorrow, and I hope it stops.  I hope that they forget to turn it on because this has been a vacation for us.  

As to chlorine, chlorine is used as a sanitizer.  Chlorine evaporates in the water.  Chlorine is not such a big deal.  Fluoride stays in the water, and it just keeps getting recycled year after year, it just doesn't leave.  Another thing we have enough of in our water is pharmaceuticals and parasites, these things don't get eliminated.  So now we have fluoride to add to the mix.  I'm having a rough day right now to think that my community is getting poisoned.  We've suffered enough here in Buffalo.  There's so much here going on with poverty.  So much going on with the education system.  It's sad.  Thank you, Jim, for letting me come on and speak. 

8:40, OSTROWSKI  I want to introduce Nicole.  All three of us took time out of our busy day on an emergency basis to come down here.  We have a lot of other things that we wanted to do.  I'm not complaining, I'm just saying that we are very passionate about this issue and that's why we're here today in a little bit of drizzle in front of Buffalo City Hall when we have other things to do.  So we really believe in this, so I am going to introduce Nicole now. 

9:17, NICOLE.  Hi, I'm here today as a resident in the city of Buffalo opposed to the fluoridization of Buffalo's drinking water.  This is an incredibly stupid battle that the public does not need to be fighting as it is the role of government to work with agencies to do what is in the best interests of the public's health, not serve some special interest.  Ample research exists about fluoride as a neurotoxin, the lack of evidence that ingesting it prevents tooth decay.  In the city of Buffalo, there are many factors impacting health such as nutritional issues rather than an ad hoc mass medication of the population.  One major concern about mass-medicating the population through the drinking supply is that drugs have dosages.  If someone drinks 8 glasses of water a day, they have 1 dose of fluoride.  If they have a different volume because they need to drink more for other reasons or consume fluoridated foods, that means they're going to have another dose of fluoride.  This is unacceptable for people to not have control over the volume of drugs they will be consuming aligned with their water.  Someone's body may react differently to one amount, or dose, of fluoride.  This is medical malpractice to an amount in any quantity.  It's just wrong in my book.  And today, we're in a city where it's raining, and how we have bypassed more critical needs for protecting our drinking water through much-needed infrastructure, such as combined sewer overflows

3:30. I watched how we closed.   Remember Friday was a quad witching there were 4.5 trillion dollars worth of options expiring on that Friday.  So markets weren't going to do much on Friday after the moves on Wednesday and Thursday I was not expecting huge moves on Friday it being quad witching day because at some point that's just the way things operate, I remind you that our markets are not free I'm also going to remind you that our markets have power and maybe have a little bit more power than I thought they do that's fair but here's the gig I'm going to reiterate what I said on Wednesday trying to do it a little bit more than I did that my arguments 

4:18. My argument for Powell cutting 25 basis points versus 50 was in order for him to continue to keep the pressure on the offshore dollar markets.  Daniel di Martino Booth over the course of the last couple of days a few of you found some tweets of her on Slack and posted them on Slack about how she's defending Powell.  And she's it defending Powell exactly the way I am but slightly differently . . . which is to say this Powell is in an impossible situation.  He's got a domestic economy that is clearly rolling over, that he clearly has to deal with and clearly has to lighten the load in terms of the credit stretch that he has induced and he has done this for exactly the reason he said he was in order to push the offshore dollar market into tight liquidity situation. But at the end of the day, he was always going to bow to Wall Street if Wall Street got into any kind of trouble.  Why?  Because at the end of the day, that's who Powell works for.  He doesn't work for Janet Yellen.  He doesn't work for Barack Obama. Zero Hedge is f****** wrong about him cucking out for political purposes, trying to get, Harris elected that's b*******.  The stock markets are going to roll over, are likely going to roll over in the next 4 to 6 weeks when everybody realizes just what the FED finally just did.  

6:00. Vince and I chatted yesterday afternoon on the phone, texting me with ideas.  You're absolutely right.  Basically, he came to my conclusion from a completely different angle about Powell, so my original argument was "Powell, please, cut 25 basis points in order to keep the pressure on the offshore dollar markets.  You signaled to the market that you're not happy with the way things are.  25 basis points now versus October 31st won't matter.  But he cut 50bps anyway.  But remember what I said multiple times before the decision, if Powell cuts 50, I said if Powell cuts 50, it's because things are worse than even we perceive going into the decision.  I said my odds are 70- 27-3.  70% he goes 25 basis points; 27% he goes 50 basis points, and 3% he goes 75 basis points.  That's what I said I never really entertained him not cutting rates or raising rates or anything else.  

7:30. Where I was wrong was in thinking that we already didn't have a blow-off top and bond prices you understand that yields have been falling on the long end we know between yelling in the guard in the market forces and pushing the long end of the yield curve down push it over 100 basis points or over a percentage point in the last few months and I figured if he cuts 50 will probably get another 25 basis or or 30 basis point move up that will be the blow off top and then it will roll over and then we'll get the bear steeper trade but in that period of time it may take a couple of months for that to happen.
