Nuremburg Nazis Promote Flouride Fighting Video & Fighting Words

FLUORIDE ACTION NETWORK FAN Bulletin 931: Fighting video and Fighting wordsFebruary 20, 2008http://www.FluorideAlert.org

Dear Charles,Just back from California - more about that trip later. Today, I want to share with you two pieces from Geelong in the state of Victoria. As you may know, the Victoria Health Department is determined to force fluoridation on every last village, town and city in the state. However, promoters like the Chief Health Officer Dr. Carnie are meeting fierce resistance to their ignorant and arrogant machinations on this matter especially from citizens in Warnaambool, Ballarat and Geelong. That resistance has been beautifully captured in two communications. One is a videotape which has been placed on Youtube at

and the other is a fiery editorial by Margaret Linley ("Leave my water alone") which appeared in the Geelong Advertiser (Feb 16). These two pieces are great material for all those who take a ho hum attitude to having their human rights taken away by arrogant officials who have read very little about the dangers of fluoride but presume to know more about it than those who have. For the rest of us they should get the juices flowing even faster.Here is a note on the video from David McRae

It is great to watch and should be inspiring to other towns that haven't yet got to run rallies and protests. It led our water authority Barwon Water to issue multiple statements and place large expensive advertisements (our money of course) defending their willingness to fluoridate. Essentially they say the law says government can command us, so we have to obey. This has been called "the Nuremburg Defence" by community members, and Barwon Water have issued further statements to say that their position is not a Nuremburg Defence.I hope some websites will post this video for viewers and get the number of hits up, up, UP.On YouTube there are a lot of videos of interviews with experts on fluoride, but I haven't seen any like this one. People power, action, angry water consumers. David

Since the rally featured in this video was held, another march was held (yesterday) in Geelong. Check out our latest news section for details when we have them. When I read the words of Margaret Linley below it reminded me very much of the Jane Jones who fought fluoridation so tenaciously as the head of the National Pure Water Association in the UK. Jane knew that science was on our side but she was steadfast in putting the issue of human rights above all else. Paul Connett------Leave my water alonehttp://www.fluoridealert.org/news/3402.htmlGeelong AdvertiserSaturday 16 February 2008By Margaret LinleyI'M fed up with the government wanting to put fluoride in our water.I've done nothing about it - haven't been to a rally, written a letter, tramped over town with a slogan on my t-shirt. Nothing. There's probably a heap of people like me who don't want it but haven't actually done anything to show anyone how they feel.You can throw all the statistics at me you like, you pro-fluoride people, but I'm not going to read them. Likewise with the anti-fluoride. I don't need scientific evidence to back up my position.As far as I'm concerned the issue is about sticking anything in the water.Okay, I can hear you whining at me you pro-fluorides. I can hear you saying 'she's a moron; doesn't she know her water supply is already chockers with chlorine and the like?'Yeah, yeah, I know that. Don't try and trick me with your cleverness. Those chemicals are there because they make the water pure enough to drink. I don't have a complaint about that.It's the medicating aspect of it that gets my goat.There's a debate about whether or not fluoride is actually a poison or not. I seem to recall something about it being a by-product of fertilisers, but I could be wrong.That's my point, though; I don't need to know that stuff. That's not what bothers me. It's that government is going to put me on a medical regiment whether I like it or not.Once the fluoride is in the water the government is medicating me against my will. And, of course, the medicine will be in just about everything - not just in the glasses of water I chug down.I don't need medicating. My teeth are fine. In fact I have lovely teeth with only one filling. But again that's not the point.If my teeth were falling out of my head and collapsing around even the softest food I still don't want the government to put fluoride in the water. Let me decide what I am going to do about my teeth.There's talk about the dental health of the country declining. That's not a surprise. The dental vans that used to call at schools and see every kid's teeth are a thing of the past. The free milk we used to have at recess when we were kids has long since gone.If the government was really serious about doing anything for our kids' teeth, bring back the free dental check-ups for primary kids, bring back the free milk.If it's dead keen on making sure kids ingest fluoride, give fluoride tablets to the schools to hand out to the kids each morning. The parents could then sign the form saying 'yes, we'll have that' or 'no, buzz off'.It's about choice. It's about medicating against our will. It's about solving a specific problem (failing dental health in kids) with an enormous non-specific super-invasive solution.Don't sprout statistics at me any of of you. Don't send me glossy brochures printed with money that could be spent on a term's worth of free milk for every kid in Geelong.Don't even talk to me unless you want to answer my question - what gives anyone the right to medicate me against my will?
