The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has identified the need to set a limit
on the amount of perchlorate, a toxic chemical found in rocket fuel, that is permissible
in water supplies. The agency says perchlorates negatively affects the body's ability to
uptake iodine, which in turn alters proper thyroid function and causes disease.
Interestingly, this is exactly what toxic fluoride, which is added to most U.S. drinking
water supplies, does, yet the EPA has remained silent on this issue.
"There's going to be a lot of scrutiny of the standard because, again, we are looking
at but one of several precursors that can affect iodine uptake in the thyroid," explained Lisa Jackson, EPA Administrator, to CNN concerning the agency's new limits.
"It's the first time we've ever regulated a chemical not because of what it does
directly to you, but because it has an impact on iodine uptake that might affect your
child down the road."
In other words, these rocket fuel
chemicals are implicated in causing endocrine disruption, and are thus a serious threat to
public health. And it is a good thing
the EPA is taking notice and trying
to do something about the problem. But the fluorosilicic acid, also known as fluoride, added to the majority of the
nation's drinking water
supplies does the very same thing, except that chemical is deliberately added under the
false pretense that doing so protects teeth.
In 2006, the National Research Council (NRC) issued a review of the EPA's "safe water standard" of 4 parts per
million (ppm) for fluoride in drinking
water. NRC concluded that "several lines of information indicate an effect of
fluoride exposure on thyroid function." In fact, fluoride was actually used up until
the 1970s as a thyroid-suppressing medication because it is known to offset necessary
iodine and instead affix itself within the body (http://www.fluoridealert.org/health...).
When the thyroid fails to get the iodine it needs, it can cause a range of serious
illnesses including chronic fatigue, depression, weight gain, hair loss, perpetual muscle
pain, increased cholesterol levels, heart disease, and many other conditions. So chemicals that disrupt it, like both
perchlorates and fluoride, deserve intense scrutiny.
Thyroid dysfunction is just one of the many negative effects of ingesting fluoride, but
the fact that it does illustrates an important double-standard taking place over at the
EPA. Seemingly concerned about toxic
chemicals that impair iodine uptake, the EPA is coming out against perchlorates while
saying nothing about the continued poisioning of the population via artificial water
fluoridation. Something is definitely wrong with this picture. (2.04.2011, Ethan A. Huff,

"To Achieve World
Government it is necessary to remove from the minds of men their individualism,
their loyalty to family traditions and national identification" Brock Chisholm - Director of the World Health Organization
"A society whose citizens refuse to see and investigate the facts, who refuse to
believe that their government and their media will routinely lie to them and fabricate a
reality contrary to verifiable facts, is a society that chooses and deserves the Police
State Dictatorship it's going to
get." Ian Williams Goddard
The fact is that "political correctness" is all about creating uniformity. Individualism is one of the biggest obstacles in the way of the New World Order. They want a public that is predictable and conditioned to do as it's told without asking questions.
