The Great Flouride Conspiracy Extensive studies...have shown that the consumption of fluoride in drinking water and prescription doses is extremely harmful and deleterious in a number of ways. Reputable researchers from such as Harvard and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and numerable other research investigators, have shown that fluoridation of drinking water can result in brain and other physiological damage producing such abnormalities as: *Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) *Hyperactivity or passive malaise -- depending on whether exposure is pre- or postnatal *Alzheimer's disease or senile dementia *The death of brain cells directly involved in the decision making processes *Cracked, pitted and brittle teeth and bones not being considered as a potential leading cause of osteoporosis *Higher hip fracture rates *Reduction in intelligence and increased learning disability "One of the most toxic chemicals known," they claim, "fluoride rapidly emerged as the leading chemical health hazard of the U.S. atomic bomb program -- both for workers and for nearby communities, the documents reveal." Other revelations include: "Much of the original proof that fluoride is safe for humans in low doses was generated by A-bomb program scientists, who had been secretly ordered to provide 'evidence useful in litigation' against defense contractors for fluoride injury to citizens. The first lawsuits against the U.S. A-bomb program were not over radiation, but over fluoride damage, the documents show." The basic contention is that the US Gov't has found a clever way to get rid of nuclear industry by-products...by using our bodies to filter it out. Read the entire article here. Thursday, February 26
Who's watching you? Big Brother's watching you! Homeland Security Launches Expansion of Information Exchange System to States and Major Cities The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, as part of its Homeland Security Information Network initiative, announced today the expansion of its computer-based counterterrorism communications system to all 50 states, five territories, Washington, D.C., and 50 major urban areas to strengthen its flow of threat information. This communications capability will deliver to states and major urban areas real-time interactive connectivity with the DHS Homeland Security Operations Center through the Joint Regional Information Exchange System (JRIES). This secure system will significantly strengthen the flow of real-time threat information at the Sensitive-but-Unclassified (SBU) level to all users immediately, and provides the platform for future classified SECRET communications to the state level. This collaborative communications environment, developed by state and local authorities, will allow all states and major urban areas to collect and disseminate information between federal, state, and local agencies involved in combating terrorism. Note: Whenever it says Terrorism, read Civil Liberties. Tuesday, February 24
Civil Disobedience 
DJ Danger Mouse's recent Grey Album, which remixes Jay-Z's The Black Album and the Beatles White Album, has been hailed as a innovative hip-hop triumph. Despite that and the fact that only 3,000 copies of the album are in circulation, EMI sent cease and desist letters yesterday to Danger Mouse and the handful of stores that were selling the album, demanding that the album be destroyed. Go download the album. Give the corporate plutocrats what for, eh? Thursday, February 19
Reminder to self: I must create a system or be enslaved by another man's; I will not reason and compare: my business is to create. -William Blake (1757-1827) Wednesday, February 18
Seven dead at kite-flying festival SEVEN people were killed and more than 100 injured in Pakistan during the annual kite flying festival marking the arrival of spring, officials said today. An 18-month-old girl's throat was cut by a stray kite string while she was travelling with her parents on a motorbike, witnesses said, adding that she died on the spot. Three people were electrocuted when metal wires they were using to fly or catch stray kites fell on live electric lines, and two people fell from roofs, hospital officials said. A 12-year-old boy died while trying to catch a stray kite when he was hit by a car on a main road, police said. More than 100 people had been reported injured since last night in various kite-related accidents, medical workers said. Sunday, February 15

This story actually came out over the AP news wire. WTF!? After 43 years as one of the world's prettiest pairs, the doll couple is breaking up. A Mattel Toys vice president says Barbie and Ken feel it's time to spend some quality time - apart. Spokesman Russel Arons says the couple "will remain friends." Barbie - according to Mattel - met Ken on the set of a T-V commercial in 1961, and they have been inseparable ever since. Arons hints that the separation may be partially due to Ken's reluctance to getting married. All those bridal Barbie dolls in toy chests around the globe are really just examples of Barbie's wishful thinking. So scary... Friday, February 6

Like scary conspiracy theories? Follow this link. A taste: "Over 15 of the world's top microbiologists and virologists have been murdered or suicided since 9/11, often in unexplained plane crashes. These are amongst the most important people in the world who we would have turned to in the event of a biological attack, and who are amongst the few people capable of telling if the infectious agent came from one of the military bioweapons programmes, be it American, British, Russian, or Israeli." From MoveOn.org. I urge anyone who reads this to fill out the form letter on the site. Unless you like right wing religious fascism, that is. In that case continue beating your wife and kids, or whatever it is you people do. Dear friend, In an attempt to escape responsibility for the misleading statements that led the nation to war, President Bush has announced plans to form an independent inquiry to look into what went wrong. An inquiry would serve the Bush administration well: it would envelop the issue in a fog of uncertainty, deflect blame onto the intelligence services, and push any political damage into 2005, after the upcoming election. But the facts need no clarification. Despite repeated warnings from the CIA and Defense Intelligence Agency, President Bush and his administration hyped and distorted the threat that Iraq posed. And now that reality is setting in, the President seeks to pin the blame on someone else. We can't let him. Congress has the power to censure the President -- to formally reprimand him for his betrayal of the nation's trust. If ever there was a time to use this function, it is now. Join the call for Congress to censure President Bush now at: http://www.moveon.org Thanks. Monday, February 2
