Water fluoridation does for your health what Washington does for your health (i.e. nothing). This has been a Great Truth of American Dentistry for decades but, what do you know, it's hogwash. There would have been just as much of a drop in the incidence of dental caries without fluoride in the water and it's shown by World Health Organization data. (Fluoride Action Network: TOOTH DECAY TRENDS IN FLUORIDATED VS. UNFLUORIDATED COUNTRIES)
Note: everything about the Fluoride Action Network pages screams 'Watch out for Aluminum Hats' but the charts are drawn from WHO data. It appears to be a site with good information that's managed to make itself look less credible than it otherwise might.
Our self-esteemed colleague in dissidence took great offense regarding my failure to know this and maybe it's the only paper he ever wrote. I make videos all the time and people don't watch them so our new colleague might consider getting used to the New Age. It's not about pyramids and George Winston but rather about growing boobs, bleaching your hair blonde, and singing about pick-up trucks so you can be the new Taylor Swift. Do that and you will get some attention, for talking about fluoride there is not likely so much.
Yesterday, The Guardian asked 'Is There Anything Taylor Swift Can't Do' and there's one immediate answer: she has yet to be interesting. Where music has become a mayonnaise sandwich, Taylor Swift is the low-cal mayo substitute used as the spread.
We had Grace Slick and the Millennials got Taylor Swift. The hoax in this one is they don't even know they got hoaxed.
Caitlyn Jenner is my current favorite hoax and it's got nothing to do with transgender but rather what is this bozo doing. I noticed maybe on CNN there's an article about Father's Day with Caitlyn Jenner. That's not the hoax either as who cares what she does on Father's Day but the next headline could be the Caitlyn Jenner cooking show and that's going to put people off eating.
The hoax with Caitlyn Jenner isn't about the body as now she can bone people she couldn't bone previously and so what. There's hardly a news breakthrough in a sixty-year-old story. The hoax is that Caitlyn Jenner's head ever had anything interesting in it.
Now if Wendy Carlos were to do a show to talk about what she encountered in transgender conversion, that could be interesting even when I have no interest in the actual process. Walter Carlos had established a solid name for himself for "Switched-On Bach" when he brought a Moog synthesizer and more cables than a NASA moon launch command center to Bach's music. Wendy Carlos never achieved an equivalent level of name recognition and her thoughts on that matter could be of interest. What happened there.
Instead we get Caitlyn Jenner making chocolate chip cookies. Kee-rist.
The DEA War With Drugs is yet another hoax as no entity ever did anything so destructive to management of heroin in Russia and Europe as undoing the Taliban's ban of opium poppy cultivation in Afghanistan. Since U.S. invaded Afghanistan, poppy cultivation has returned to pre-Taliban levels and Afghanistan is again the biggest producer of heroin in the world with much of it going north to Russia.
In strategic effect, the destruction of Afghanistan appears a Trojan Horse with little purpose beyond facilitating the heroin flow into Russia.
Part of it was about a gas pipeline to go through Afghanistan and terminate in Pakistan but I don't think it was ever completed. Other than the heroin, there's very little actual accomplishment in Afghanistan but that was a resounding success ... so long as you don't care about a radical increase in the availability of heroin in the world.
The latest Incredibly Boring Hoax is in Ukraine as here's yet another example of mindless American imperialism as they collapse another country and Nixon is still bombing Hanoi, even after almost fifty years.
Say there, Tricky Dick, it didn't work in Hanoi, it's not working in the Middle East, and, in fact, it hasn't worked anywhere. Of course he doesn't get bored with the endless sequels to the same moronic and infinitely-hackneyed show as his dead ass doesn't have to watch them.
