Given the crack down on health items on the net, and not wishing to bring the black helicopters to my house, let me quote the abstract from the peer reviewed paper in the leading journal, JAMA, and you can make up your own mind:

“IMPORTANCE The potential neurotoxicity associated with exposure to fluoride, which has generated controversy about community water fluoridation, remains unclear. OBJECTIVE To examine the association between fluoride exposure during pregnancy and IQ scores in a prospective birth cohort. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This prospective, multicenter birth cohort study used information from the Maternal-Infant Research on Environmental Chemicals cohort. Children were born between 2008 and 2012; 41% lived in communities supplied with fluoridated municipal water. The study sample included 601 mother-child pairs recruited from 6 major cities in Canada; children were between ages 3 and 4 years at testing. Data were analyzed between March 2017 and January 2019. EXPOSURES Maternal urinary fluoride (MUFSG), adjusted for specific gravity and averaged across 3 trimesters available for 512 pregnant women, as well as self-reported maternal daily fluoride intake from water and beverage consumption available for 400 pregnant women. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Children’s IQ was assessed at ages 3 to 4 years using the Wechsler Primary and Preschool Scale of Intelligence-III. Multiple linear regression analyses were used to examine covariate-adjusted associations between each fluoride exposure measure and IQ score. RESULTS Of 512 mother-child pairs, the mean (SD) age for enrollment for mothers was 32.3 (5.1) years, 463 (90%) were white, and 264 children (52%) were female. Data on MUFSG concentrations, IQ scores, and complete covariates were available for 512 mother-child pairs; data on maternal fluoride intake and children’s IQ were available for 400 of 601 mother-child pairs.

     There is a classic song, that I do not thing very much of, Ralph McTell, Streets of London: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiWomXklfv8. Today though, the more relevant song would be the Knives of London, given the explosion of knife attacks and crime:
  https://vdare.com/articles/john-derbyshire-forget-gun-control-knife-crime-is-plaguing-u-k-but-you-can-t-notice-who-s-responsible

“Race-denialism is all over the Western world—the notion that race itself is a sort of optical illusion; that different races can, after a bit of social engineering, be brought to present the same statistical profiles on all traits; that when they present different profiles the only possible explanation is malice on the part of white people; these are the great dogmas of our age [Antiracism, Our Flawed New Religion, by John McWhorter, Daily Beast, March 14,2017 ] carved on stone slabs and worshipfully preserved in the temples of our culture. Here's a cute example: the epidemic of knife crime that has been plaguing Britain for several years past. Guns are hard to get in Britain (although not that hard). So the more commonplace types of lethal interpersonal violence—notably underclass gang warfare—are stabbings with knives. Where the soundtrack to a warm night in Chicago, Baltimore, or Detroit features gunshots, the corresponding audio for London, Birmingham, or Manchester is of metal blades penetrating human flesh.

     On this freezing cold Melbournian Sunday morning, there was nothing much to refute until I came across this beauty from the Leftoid The Guardian, and the eternally poetic, politically correct New York Times.

“Recent mass shootings have been linked to ‘eco-xenophobia’ – part of a tradition that dates to America’s first conservationists. The environmentalist, white nationalist, and influential anti-immigration activist John Tanton died less than three weeks before the El Paso shooting. Tanton lived to see his movement shape much of modern US immigration policy, but not this latest violent turn. A hate-filled document allegedly linked to the man suspected of killing 22 people in El Paso on 3 August echoed the kind of rhetoric generally favored by the far right – and also had a decidedly environmentalist, Tanton-like bent. The document praised the Dr Seuss character the Lorax, who says he speaks for the trees, and complained about the unsustainable overuse of paper towels. It concluded that the best course of environmental action would be mass murder. A week prior, on an Instagram account reportedly linked to the alleged Gilroy, California, garlic festival shooter, he complained about migrant-driven sprawl. Months before, the Christchurch, New Zealand, shooter called himself an “eco-fascist”. Long before this violence, researchers warned of “the greening of hate”. From Tanton’s anti-immigration nonprofit network to some of today’s avowed environmentalists, across the political spectrum, overpopulation and immigration in particular has been blamed for environmental collapse for over 50 years.

     Wow, amazing coincidences happen all the time with the Epstein saga. Apparently just before his arrest he had a big cement mixer sent gift wrapped to his sex island. Now, Right wingers would say that this was to cover incriminating material under concrete for future generations of tourists, but for the Democrats … why … it must have been home renovations.

     One day, after the human race has died off, perhaps an intelligent race will land on earth in their flying frying pan, and zap the cement and examine the contents, as evidence that no intelligent beings lived on this planet.

To The Australian        Chris Mitchell fails to provide a truly comprehensive report on the reasoning of opponents of Aboriginal constitutional recognition ("'Feel-good' SMH missing when debate on Aboriginal voice gets serious", 19/8). Opposition to an improper insertion of race into the Constitution is not the main issue, but, rather, the danger of serious political division on this continent in the middle to long term. With totalitarian China on the move, this is a life-or-death matter for the Australian nation. Also very important is the sheer lack of equity in the whole concept. Mitchell is no doubt right, however, to point out that those Aboriginal Australians behind this campaign will not "give up their aspirations" and "surrender". Nor will their non-indigenous supporters. It will be a long fight for us savvy Australians to maintain the integrity and unity of our fundamentally British nation; but we will not give up either; and we will win.

To The Age        Discussion of Brexit needs to be based on a clear grasp of priorities ("Leak reveals no-deal chaos fear", 19/8). Short-term disruption of lifestyle for many is less significant than three other factors which show that Boris Johnson and his Conservative government should be supported and Remainers yield the field gracefully. These are, in order of importance, the regaining of its sovereignty by Britain, the restoration of complete legal and judicial independence to the British people (meaning freedom from the quasi-totalitarian European Court of Human Rights) and the honouring of the clear verdict of the 2016 referendum (thus allowing genuine democracy to succeed).

     The globalist elites are dead keen about terraforming Mars, making it into a new home for the elites, once earth is destroyed. That makes sense; destroy a perfectly good planet and then make another one from scratch, to destroy that one in time. The only problem is that conventional technology will not deliver a habitable Mars. So, what to do? If all else fails, nuke it from space, just to be sure:
  https://www.space.com/elon-musk-nuke-mars-terraforming.html

“Nuking Mars is still on Elon Musk's wish list, it would seem. Four years ago, the SpaceX founder and CEO went on "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" and discussed a strategy for making the Red Planet more livable: detonating nuclear bombs over its poles. The explosions would vaporize a fair chunk of Mars' ice caps, liberating enough water vapor and carbon dioxide — both potent greenhouse gases — to warm up the planet substantially, the idea goes. This terraforming concept is apparently still bouncing around in Musk's head, because on Thursday (Aug. 15), he tweeted, seemingly unprompted, "Nuke Mars!" A few hours later, he followed up with another tweet: "T-shirt soon."

     There is another big story about Don Dunstan, the South Australian premier from the 1960s, who introduced so many politically correct policies into the quiet, rural state of Tom Playford:
  https://www.theaustralian.com.au/nation/hinch-defiant-on-dunstan-wife-broadcast/news-story/dc7aef826ef5b9624d5d91b873420faa

     The real question to be asked is how did this happen? How could the people of South Australia have gone with it for the “Dunstan decade”? This was at the beginning and it could have been all nipped in the bud then. Then ask yourself why nothing has been done today, about anything.  For example, we are on the verge of defining cash as criminal, yet the sheeple do nothing:

     I told you that sugar was bad for you; look who loves sugar:
  https://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/hospital-superbug-is-evolving-into-a-new-species-of-bacteria-that-thrives-on-your-sugarrich-diet/

“Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) is a bacterium that can cause a nasty spell of diarrhea and colitis for those unlucky to be infected. Now, researchers analyzing the genomes of various strains in Nature Genetics have discovered it is a millennia-long process of evolution that will see it separate into two different species. One of those species is particularly adept at evading hospital disinfectants and thrives on a sugar-rich Western diet. "This largest ever collection and analysis of C. difficile whole genomes, from 33 countries worldwide, gives us a whole new understanding of bacterial evolution," author Brendan Wren, a professor at the London School of Hygiene and Medicine, said in a statement. "It reveals the importance of genomic surveillance of bacteria. Ultimately, this could help understand how other dangerous pathogens evolve by adapting to changes in human lifestyles and healthcare regimes which could then inform healthcare policies." C. difficile is the leading cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea – "good" gut bacteria will fend off the bug in a healthy person but antibiotics extinguish "good" gut bacteria, leaving the patient vulnerable to infection. Because of this, the bug is frequently found in hospital settings. For the study, the team sequenced the genome of 906 strains, collected from humans and other animals as well as the environment. The researchers then compared the genomes from each strain to find that it is evolving into two different species. The emerging species (called C. difficile clade A) accounts for roughly 70 percent of the samples collected from hospital patients.

     Antifa can just do what it likes, as it is so “cool” with the establishment. Follow the links in the articles below, and watch the coverage via videos as these champions of the Left bash fascists, and anyone else like old people.

     Let’s see what we have here. Antifa attacking conservatives boarding a bus, spraying mace, hitting, kicking, breaking a bus window and spraying mace, hitting an old guy, death threats. They are busy! We do not know at the time of writing who has been arrested, but given previous treatments by the system, probably the people arrested were those bashed. In the future if protests are still permitted, I expect rifles to be handed out so that conservatives and Trump supporters can be shot, just like in the film, The Hunt! After all, that is where this is going.  Clearly, the Proud Boys need to abandon street protests because the system will never protect them, and just uses them as punching bags. If this took place in a country which still had national pride, like China, the police would deal with those committing acts of violence using giant electric forks, something out of Star Wars:

     Readers need to have a look at the recent Volkswagen ad that was banned because of … well …sexism! The ad features a woman and a man in a tent on a cliff face, two male astronauts floating in a spaceship, a male para-athlete doing a long jump, but then in the final scene, a woman sitting on a bench with a pram. The VW races by, air rippling over her outfit, which for insane feminists would be symbolic rape, because … what is not?
  https://www.motor1.com/news/365338/banned-vw-ad-gender-stereotypes/
  https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/cars/1165581/vw-golf-advert-banned-video-volkswagen-eGolf

“The new rules from the Advertising Standards Authority, which have only been enforced since June, state: "Marketing communications must not include gender stereotypes that are likely to cause harm, or serious or widespread offence." … Three people complained about the ad for Volkswagen’s electric eGolf vehicle as they insisted the advert had shown men engaged in adventurous actives while a woman was cast in a stereotypical care-giving role. Volkswagen said its ad was not sexist and that caring for a newborn was a life-changing experience about adaptation, regardless of the gender of the parent depicted. The German car manufacturer also stated that its advert made no suggestion that childcare was solely associated with women, and the fact that the woman in its advertisement was calm and reading could be seen as going against the stereotypical depiction of harassed or anxious parents in advertising. However, the ASA disagreed and said the advert presented gender stereotypes "in a way that was likely to cause harm and therefore breached the code." It said by allowing images to be compared between men "in extraordinary environments and carrying out adventurous activities”, with women who appeared "passive or engaged in a stereotypical care-giving role", the ad had suggested that stereotypical male and female roles were exclusively associated with one gender.”

     Here are two good articles on the White genocide theme, with a focus upon Australia’s immigration agenda. The concerned blogger cites an article “We Should Take Migrants from More Nations,” which I have not been able to independently locate, so I delete reference to the alleged author. Anyway, the comments made are highly relevant:

“We are reshaping the composition of Australia without any debate or planning. … Many people I spoke to in Europe told me how much they admired our policy of stopping the boats. But what these supporters of our policies may not know is that alongside our tough policy of stopping a few hundred refugees coming by boat, there has been a massive official immigration program of almost 200,000 each year over the past decade that is changing the demography of Australia. And what most Australians don't know is that there has been an explosion in the number of people flying to Australia in visitor visas and then applying for refugee protection visas: up from 8547 in 2014-15 to a staggering 27,931 in 2017-18. As a result, Australia has more than eight million overseas-born residents or about 30 per cent of its population. The US has about 14 per cent, Germany 15 per cent, and other European countries have even less. I think we need a high migrant intake because we are still building Australia. Study after study has shown that it is good for our economy. And as long as people we admit are supportive of our democratic values and respect our laws, I am OK with that. But as I have argued, we must diversify our intake. If we want to retain social cohesion, if we want a truly multicultural nation, we should not have a concentration of immigrants from two or three countries.”

     Here is the latest thing driving libtards mad re Trump:
  https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-appeals-court-judge-nomination-ethnic-diversity-article-steven-menashi-racism-a9063371.html

“A White House lawyer chosen by Donald Trump to serve on the federal appeals court previously argued countries were weakened by ethnic diversity. Steven Menashi, the president’s nomination for the Court of Appeals Second Circuit, wrote in an academic journal that “ethnic ties provide the groundwork for social trust” and “solidarity underlying democratic polities rests in large part on ethnic identification”. “Surely, it does not serve the cause of liberal democracy to ignore this reality,” he added in the 2010 article for the University of Pennsylvania Journal of International Law.”

     When I read this amazing stuff by some smart uni. guy I knew exactly what needed to be done:
  https://www.theaustralian.com.au/higher-education/lessons-of-garma-shape-the-future/news-story/22160d037d9fa6668a54e64d3e7da2e8

“The University of Melbourne’s history pales into insignificance compared with the thousands of years of history and culture of the people on this land and the country in Arnhem Land. One of the key values at our university that we share with the great ancient cultures of this land is a tradition of respect for, and the nurturing of, knowledge. We value education as one of the most important things that a society can do for its people. I was pleased to lead a University of Melbourne group to attend Garma 2019, which included members of the Atlantic Fellows for Social Equity program. The Atlantic program is a great educational initiative shaping future leaders for indigenous communities. We cherish education and nurture it for the good it can do in every community. Few have put this better than a young Gumatj man speaking at Garma last year, Michael Yunupingu. Yunupingu is a student and his words about education are powerful. He said: “Education is the most powerful tool for breaking down barriers, and the only way we can adapt with the rest of Australia while maintaining our strong culture.” Education should be an ongoing process, where we can all learn from each other in different ways. In my short exposure to Garma, I have learned a great deal and now realise how much more there is to learn from indigenous culture.

     There comes a time when big decisions need to be made. Take Greenland for example, the land of ice.  Trump is considering buying it because of the Chinese threat:
  https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-08-18/its-not-joke-trump-confirms-he-looking-strategicaly-interesting-greenland

“Speaking on the TV circuit on Sunday, White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow confirmed that the US president is really mulling the purchase of world’s largest island: "It's an interesting story,” Larry Kudlow told Fox News Sunday. “It’s developing. We’re looking at it. We don’t know." He also reminded host Dana Perino that “years ago” another US President, Harry Truman, also considered buying the 2,166,086-sq-km island, 80 percent of which is covered with ice. According to Kudlow, Denmark - which incorporates Greenland as a self-governed territory - should sell it to America because “Denmark is an ally.” “Greenland is a strategic place… they’ve got a lot of valuable minerals,” he explained, and he is right: Danish surveys have found that the owner of the island would stake a claim to around 900,000 sq km of the continental shelf in the Arctic Ocean. And on Sunday afternoon Trump himself confirmed the report was legitimate when he said speaking to reporters that Greenland is "strategically interesting" and "we’d be interested, but we’ll talk to them a little bit. It’s not No. 1 on the burner, I can tell you that,” the president said. "It’s just something we’ve talked about,” Trump told reporters when asked about the idea. “Denmark essentially owns it. We’re very good allies with Denmark. We’ve protected Denmark like we protect large portions of the world, so the concept came up."

     I see people zipping around the street on these things, these e-scooters, and I am in fear. The other day a young punk crashed into me, knocking me down. He was off in a flash, not caring if I was bleeding or broken. Yes, e-scooters are a modern form of urban terrorism, and need to be stopped quickly so our footpaths are safe again for geriatric cripples like myself to crawl their way along, like decaying snails. Oh, these are not great for the environment either. Take note of this you punks, who think you’re oh so green while killing us old people:
  https://www.naturalnews.com/2019-08-18-eco-friendly-scooters-a-fraud-environment.html

“However, if you look a little closer, you’ll see that they aren’t quite as friendly to the environment as they might seem. A new study carried out by researchers from North Carolina State University has revealed that getting around on a scooter actually creates more greenhouse gas emissions per mile travelled than going by bus, moped, bicycle, or foot. It isn’t the scooters themselves that are the problem – it’s their materials and manufacturing, especially that of the battery, wheels and frame. On top of that, the companies that round up the scooters at the end of the day to charge them and put them back on the street are creating a significant impact in terms of greenhouse gas emissions. The researchers made their determinations by looking at the scooter models used for the first generation of Birds. After carrying out an analysis that examined all the emissions associated with every aspect of its life cycle, they found that materials and manufacturing accounted for roughly half of the global warming impact of the scooter. The lithium-ion battery and aluminum components are one part of the question; the scooters are also shipped out from Southeast Asia or China. A further 43 percent comes from the collection and distribution process involved in recharging the fleet, while less than 5 percent comes from the electricity that charges them. The finding that half of the scooters’ global warming impact stems from their materials and manufacturing is important when you consider the fact that shared scooters are often targets of vandalism and outright destruction, which means they then must be replaced.

     The Left always ceases an opportunity to capitalise upon tragedies, such as shooting sprees, to push one of their agendas. Banning firearms has always been the thing globalist/communist regimes seek to do. Australia falls into that category, for an examination of our laws and social system, sees us as way down the track of state control over he individual in all aspects of life. Self-defence is the acid test example, where for Australia, lacking any right to weapons, women and weaker people have no effective self-defence, and are at the mercy of home invaders. The individual has been stripped of the rights which the average person in Viking society of 1,000 years ago just assumed constituted a free man. I do not consider the police, who usually arrive after the crime to fill out the reports, any sort of first line protection, and in any case, there is no legal duty of the police to protect individuals at all. That is my interpretation of the Victoria Police Act 2013, for example, and of case law in the US where the issue has been discussed: 

“8 Role of Victoria Police The role of Victoria Police is to serve the Victorian community and uphold the law so as to promote a safe, secure and orderly society. 9 General functions of Victoria Police (1) The functions of Victoria Police include the following— (a) preserving the peace; (b) protecting life and property; Authorised by the Chief Parliamentary Counsel Part 2—Victoria Police Victoria Police Act 2013 No. 81 of 2013 12 (c) preventing the commission of offences; (d) detecting and apprehending offenders; (e) helping those in need of assistance. (2) Nothing in subsection (1)— (a) confers on any person any civil right of action; or (b) provides any person with a defence to any civil action; or (c) otherwise affects any civil right of action.”

     Once upon a time, in a world now lost in the mists of time, journalists reported news. That is hard to understand in our world where ideological manipulation and false news rule. Consider the New York Times, which is now dropping its “Russia stole the election from queen Hillary” narrative, to “Trump is a racist.” This is not based on evidence for some story, but is an agenda that the paper will pursue. So, this is the next level down in degeneracy from false news, manufacturing the news itself!
  https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-08-18/trump-slams-nyt-after-leaker-reveals-pivot-russiagate-racism-witch-hunt

“President Trump slammed the "failing New York Times" on Sunday after leaked comments from executive editor Dean Baquet revealed that the paper is pivoting from the Russia narrative (which he described as being "a little tiny bit flat-footed") to 'Trump is a racist.' "The failing New York Times, in one of the most devastating portrayals of bad journalism in history, got caught by a leaker that they are shifting from the Phony Russian Collusion Narrative (the Mueller Report & his testimony were a total disaster), to a Racism Witch Hunt," Trump wrote on Twitter, adding "‘Journalism’ has reached a new low in the history of our Country. It is nothing more than an evil propaganda machine for the Democrat Party. The reporting is so false, biased and evil that it has now become a very sick joke…But the public is aware! The reporting is so false, biased and evil that it has now become a very sick joke…But the public is aware!"

     Could it be that the condemned man gets his last wish before execution, not a meal, but a tasty young woman before having his neck broken? Or even agreeing to break his own neck? The Epstein paedophile saga continues to deliver! No conspiracy theorist would ever have come up with this gold:
  https://www.forbes.com/sites/richardbehar/2019/08/15/jeffrey-epstein-spent-time-alone-with-young-female-prison-visitor/#182bbd7c185b

“The day after he was taken off suicide watch, disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein spent at least two hours locked up alone with a young woman, in a private room reserved for inmates and their attorneys, according to an attorney who was visiting the prison that day. "The optics were startling. Because she was young. And pretty,” said the visiting attorney, who asked that his name not be used because he didn’t want to create friction with the prison administration. He speculated the woman could be a lawyer—NBC News has reported that Epstein paid members of his team to sit with him in a room for eight hours a day for attorney-client meetings, allowing him to avoid his cell. The visiting attorney went to the Manhattan Correctional Center on July 30, a day after Epstein was reportedly taken off suicide watch and transferred into the Special Housing Unit (SHU). During the hours the visiting attorney was present, it wasn’t Epstein’s main lawyer, Reid Weingarten, or other named attorneys who visited him.
