Rebuttal: Minister’s Science Advisory Committee (NZ)

ESRAs per usual, the pro-fluoridation mafia is hitting back. We write this letter to arm you with some counter-arguments to their unscientific, simplistic mantras. Listed below are the main garbage claims you will hear, over and over again:

What is in the water? – June 12, 2013
The Office of the Prime Minister’s Science Advisory Committee
New Zealand

Claim: “The science of fluoride in water is effectively settled. It has been one of the most thoroughly worked questions in public health science over some decades.”

Response: On the contrary. When the University of York examined the evidence on fluoridation, the authors were surprised at its poor quality. According to the research team, “Given the level of interest surrounding the issue of public water fluoridation, it is surprising to find that little high quality research has been undertaken.” Three years later, the authors reiterated, “We were unable to discover any reliable good-quality evidence in the fluoridation literature world-wide… As emphasised in the report, only high-quality studies can fill in the gaps in knowledge about these and other aspects of fluoridation.”

Why Obama Will Survive the Equivalent of Five “Watergate Scandals”

My work here is doneA brilliant, yet sobering analysis of the historical crossroads we’re on now.  – Ed.

Mark Twain once talked about history not necessarily repeating, but he noted that history sure does rhyme.

Richard Nixon was unable to survive one direct hit upon his administration, namely, the Watergate scandal. Conversely, Obama is facing five scandals which dwarf Watergate in terms of criminality, abuse of power, malfeasance of office and outright treason.

The damage inflicted upon the American people by the criminal syndicate occupying the White House is unparalleled in American history. Yet, Obama is going to survive and this article will describe how Obama is this century’s version of the famous escape artist, Houdini.

The Crucial Importance Of Human Genes In The Analysis Of Global Political Affairs ~ Most Of The Suffering Is Still To Come

We need to face the facts –
propaganda and public brain-washing, corruption, deception and the democracy farce
are intentional and all-encompassing;
these are not the results of a few minor aberrations or unavoidable accidents in otherwise decent society
…….  
The scientific fact of the matter is that human nature is our biggest problem. 
 

1. Growing wave of public protest and anger is just more of the same

The technocratic-Military-Industrial-Complex is on the brink of another war of global conquest; and now Syria and Iran are their targets. (1) Not surprising, the growing wave of public protest against the money-gods of our world and the over-reach and excesses of the empire – just another cycle in an endless class struggle. Is the wave of protest going to change things? Hardly! If entire nations can be devastated by US or NATO bombing campaigns what harm can unarmed demonstrators do? As Bill Clinton said “the protestors have no focus, nothing constructive to say.” And with nothing new to offer, we are called again and again to join in protest marches, write letters, petitions and boycott products, organizations or countries we oppose, as every generation before us has done.

Just a quick scan, reviewing the present state of the world through the hundreds of commentaries and articles in the alternative media, is enough to depress any keen idealistic student of journalism. In the face of everything we see, we can’t but acknowledge how communism has failed; fascism, imperialism, socialism, religion, even democracy, the UN and capitalism has failed to create a world of peace, prosperity, justice, security and health for all. Tony Cartalucci depicts the corrupt, deceiving, oppressive imperialism of our day with the realism of a renaissance artist (2) but there’s a missing part of the picture – a key part.

Tony Cartalucci, Prof Noam Chomsky, Dr Paul Craig Roberts, Prof John Kozy (and others) correctly point out that we are going round and round in circles – Hundreds of millions of soldiers gave their lives in the last century for a better world, for promises that evaporated once the wars were over. We keep protesting, fighting losing battles, kicking against bolted dungeons, trying the same ineffective philosophies, strategies, warfare and revolutionary schemes as our ancestors and then another generation down the line we find ourselves in the same unsatisfactory situation as our grandparents. We seem incapable of learning from the past and improving. (3) (6)

2. Reasons for the futility of protest action

We really need to ask – why do none of our solutions work?….and we need to keeping asking until we get the answer. Two misleading concepts have profoundly influenced the social, political and philosophical thinking of the 20th century. The first is the Marxist assertion that all human being are born with equal potential for personal development – human nature is a “tabla rosa” upon which society writes, therefore, perfect society leads to perfect human beings. The second is the equivalent near universal maxim of Humanist psychology that human beings are born innately good and only our imperfect social and historical environment might corrupt the growing child. Without a doubt these ideas seem magnanimous and optimistic but they are contradicted by experimental observation and scientific measurements in the real world of practical experience. Sigmund Freud stated: “biology is destiny” and decades of careful scientific research proves that. But the solid research has been side-lined in preference for pseudo-scientific Humanism.

Revolutionaries are misinformed and deluded in thinking that by destroying the “oppressive,” old rules and structures of society, the new will automatically take over and produce a rapid transformation and improvement of society. The misguided actions carried out by revolutionaries in the last century demonstrate this futility as far as the masses are concerned but they nevertheless achieved the hidden goals and agendas of their paymasters. Investigations and in-depth analysis of the external forces and outcomes of the South African civil war by Finian Cunningham and this author (4) and (5) illustrate again the illusion of progress and confirms how blind the common people and their protest leaders are to historical political reality. Other examples are Russiaand China. Those communist governments were as inhumane and oppressive as the capitalist governments they replaced if not worse; and dictatorships or banana republics that result from revolution usually result in more corruption, disorder, fear and suffering than before the revolution (like 18th centuryFrance, or modernSouth Africa andNigeria).

Abundant evidence documents and proves that the problems of society (both communist and capitalist societies) are not caused by the structures and rules, but by the people who apply and/or misapply the structures and rules in their everyday decisions and actions. To achieve any transformation and improvement of society we need an improvement in the human gene pool as an essential part of the plan. Hitler, Stalin, Mao Zedong and their scientists were smart enough to realize that but their brutal methods of solving the problem were inexcusable. Destroying the undesirable systems and political opponents doesn’t automatically produce something good in its place. Protestors criticize and complain but put nothing better in place. They think they can create simply by trashing, burning and destroying.

3. The forbidden topic of human genetics

While everyone knows the importance of genes and breeding in livestock husbandry and domestic animal pedigree, any talk of the same biological principles within the human population is complete taboo. In the mainstream social sciences we are only permitted to work at trying to fix the system not the concrete matter in hand – the people. Great thinkers have articulated various philosophies, political schemes and social engineering for ridding the world of war, tyranny, poverty, crime and suffering but none have succeeded so far. The scientific fact of the matter is that human nature is our biggest problem. Our solutions so far have been like tinkering with the software when the hardware is broken. Imperfect human genes plus imperfect society continues to produce imperfect society and more imperfect human beings. It’s the terrible truth that a few well-qualified biologists and social scientists have been trying to tell us for decades but the media has silenced them and the old boys club has ended their careers. The Nazi party and Communist tyrants practised what many other powerful elite believed but would never write or say in public. In fact in public they pretend the opposite.

To suggest that human nature is our biggest problem seems rather uncharitable, pessimistic, inhumane, even heinous. So the truth-sayers were branded or ridiculed and relegated to the place of outcast racists and blasphemous Nazis. Even their books have gone out of print and perhaps a good thing now or else blatant genocide would not have been limited toChina,Russia,Rwanda,Cambodia,Sudan, etc. Violent political solutions produce violent societies and until we acknowledge that human nature is our biggest problem we will never have the ability and foresight to create a better world where everyone thrives in peace and goodwill. We continue to work with a faulty hypothesis of human nature and continue to produce results that fall far short of our anticipated goals and ideals.

 

 

4. Political and social insight that controls the world today

A careful, penetrating analysis of the past century of socio-economic history reveals that the real mechanisms of social control and management are not what they appear to be. The Centre for Research on Globalization has published dozens of well-researched articles exposing the farce of democracy, the brain-washing of academia and the corruption and injustice of the judiciary, both nationally and internationally. (6) We need to face the facts – government propaganda, corruption, deception and the democracy farce have long been intentional and all-encompassing. These nasty gargoyles are not exceptions to the norm, not minor aberrations or unavoidable accidents in otherwise decent society. They are the secret, ubiquitous keys and tools of social control. (7)

All of this points to the conclusion that a super-elite ruling class do know all about the importance of genes and breeding and privately use their insights to best advantage of their class while their “highly educated’ officials and bought henchmen continue to be misled by “social pseudo-science” and unproven political hypotheses. It’s astounding how easily the adoring zombies in the lower echelons of academic, industrial and military circles swallow such lofty unfounded humanist ideals. Clearly, the vast majority of the world’s population are bribed or brain-washed. It’s been said now – let’s not pretend any longer.

This warped “education” has been so well entrenched by educational institutions and the corporate-controlled media that even the concept of trying to rid the world of evil seems ludicrously idealistic, even crazy to most, who don’t care. But others keep trying in vain! And the elite love it. They know too well that it keeps political activists and religious groups endlessly busy and in their places, hopelessly trying to change the world.

It’s still a well-kept secret that the research, arguments and books of those geneticists and social scientists who spoke the truth have been avidly read and followed by the reclusive elite who rule the world by proxy today. Most of these scientists were actually financed by the elite. (8) That’s why they have got better entrenched every decade. When trying to establish what these people in high places really know, think and feel we should not pay too much attention to what they say and do in public but to what they do behind the scenes. The reclusive royalty, bankers and top military commanders tell us that everything they do and plan is for the benefit of mankind; or for the majority of mankind at least. But when every year hundreds of millions of people [mostly innocent] get killed, maimed, diseased, raped, or condemned to a life of slavery or starvation in the process, one needs to question the real values and priorities of the super-powerful elite. Growing populations are obviously “good for business” and it’s of no concern to those in high places how destitute those at the bottom of the pile become. We read the statistics but can’t even begin to appreciate the scale of human misery. Danny Schechter warns us – “What you may not know is that most of the suffering is still to come.” (1) Is there really nothing we or they can do about this so-called “unintended collateral damage”?

The “upper crust” seem to express such genuine regret, sympathy and concern for the troubles and woes of the serfs and casualties but in their castles and clandestine hotels, at top secret military meetings and private political dinners, they laugh and scheme about the next plot for toppling an uncooperative government or business competitor. This is 21st century feudalism at its best, disguised as democratic civilization. Let’s not forget that less than 200 years ago slavery was quite acceptable to the civilized, elite ruling class.

The scenario described above seems to imply that the hypocrites of the elite class are responsible for all the suffering in the world. Not so. Blaming the elite rulers contradicts the earlier assertion that imperfection in human nature is our major problem. Sadly, the common people behave the same as the elite when occasionally roles are reversed. Indeed imperfect genes exist at all levels of society but the consequences and effects are far more devastating and widespread when [as it generally happens] imperfect, sociopaths wield so much power over the lives and destinies of other weaker people. Imperfect humans ought to be identified and removed as far as possible from seats of power.

5. The perfect solution to the age old problem

It’s not a lack of information, technology, good ideas, motivation or good organization that troubles the world today – it’s the lack of good, honest, noble and trust-worthy people in positions of power to apply the technology, ideas and organization that plagues society. This is what needs to be understood and addressed. And it’s not just the top of the pile that’s rotten; the rot penetrates from top to bottom. Humanity is not all rotten, but just one rotten fly in the ointment makes the whole jar stink. Unfortunately, the common people can’t see the fly. Not yet anyway.

The time is becoming ripe, perhaps more ripe than before, for unveiling and publishing the new but old plan of action for humanity. Unfortunately very few are listening so the unveiling will have to wait until people realize the futility of all the old unsuccessful solutions and the deception they have been living under. Then they will listen. Hope that’s not too late!

Wikileaks, Hackers Impending Internet Censure ~ Entering Perilous Times

By Mike Molyneaux

Wikileaks has been instrumental in confirming what many suspected but never knew for sure – those anecdotes about never trusting a politician! Wide and rapid dissemination of sensitive and often damning information by the internet  exposes the level of double-talk, double-standards, mistrust and trickery in international politics. The public has never before had such a peek into this labyrinth of duplicity and official disdain of ordinary citizens. Now the NY Times publishes revelations again confirming extensive secret US government collaboration with Nazi’s during and after World War II.

What are the implications for ordinary citizens?

1. It doesn’t look good. The integrity of Big business and most political leaders is highly questionable. Western democracies are really police states in disguise. They criminalize Whistle-blowers or arrange for their elimination.
2. The lives and destinies of ordinary citizens are under the control of big business and political leaders [the situation since time immemorial] and the vast majority of ordinary citizens don’t know that – 1984 is here.
3. Our legal systems are now so complex, convoluted and self-contradictory that they are of no value in protecting ordinary citizens. Big business and politicians pay lawyers big money to find loopholes to do what they want regardless of the legal systems and the judiciary is “bought.”
4. History books for mass education in every country have been written as tools of state propaganda and ordinary citizens around the world have been technically advanced but politically brain-washed.
5. We don’t know who or what to believe and trust! – trusting powerful modern technology and weapons of mass destruction into the hands of our politicians is misplaced trust and dangerous.
6. The direction the world is heading is certainly not Utopia. Big business and politicians think they are in control but they can’t agree because they scheme, lie and live above common law and decency, so it’s anyone’s guesses where we will all land up.
CONCLUSION  A nuclear war involving China-Russia-Iran-Israel-U.S. cannot be ruled out as unlikely. Incalculable millions if not billions in many countries are likely to die from starvation caused by cessation of most international food shipments and disastrous shortages of essentials of modern agriculture, particularly in oil or diamonds for bread countries. Not only New Zealanders, but all the ordinary citizens of the world whether they recognize it or not, are facing an international emergency. I am referring not only to the WikiLeaks exposure but everything that has come to light since the start of the internet. And we are not sure how long the internet will still be available as an alternative source of news and information.

We can expect censorship to plunge us all into the dark again.

The real world they don’t show us on the television screens is a mess and these are indeed perilous times.

Surveying Perceptions Of The Future Among Kiwis ~ Can We See Where The World Is Heading?

All the major political parties in New Zealand agree that preservation of a clean,

sustainable environment is an essential component of good governance and that pollution

(specifically including air pollution)

poses an enormous global threat to our way of life and our future.

They have each published good intentions for applying scientific research and technological development

as a key element to meet the challenges of population growth and industrialization.

But what do the people in the street think about these issues?

A group of 134 adults were quizzed in an opinion poll to survey perceptions among adult New Zealanders

concerning the direction our civilization is heading.

These were mostly selected at random in public places in New Plymouth and towns of Taranaki,

however a group of 20 people were specifically targeted to represent the Christian community as a subsection of the population.

These were all practicing members of a local church.

Another 10 members of the Muslim community were approached to hear opinions on global issues from the perspective of Islam.

It was interesting to find that a good majority of people in this region are keenly aware of global affairs.

Only 32 of the 134 people approached declined the invitation

[saying they were not interested in global affairs or don’t know enough to comment]

so the group would be fairly representative of Kiwis in this district.

The participants were asked to mention the three most serious problems they felt the world is facing today,

i.e., global concerns they thought needed urgent attention to improve the future of our civilization.

The most common concerns [in this order of frequency] were

(1) poverty and hunger, (2) civil unrest, terrorism and wars, (3) supply of energy, (4) over population and (5) industrial pollution.

One of the outstanding features of the survey was the lack of confidence in global political leadership

- only 10% believed that global leaders had the right plan of action to solve the world’s problems.

77% expressed no confidence in the world’s current leadership,

13% were unsure of this.

Concerning the future outlook, 59% don’t think the world’s leading politicians have any foresight

and only 21% of people surveyed think the politicians really know where our civilization is heading.

20% of respondents were unsure of the foresight among global political leadership.

78% say that no one knows where we are heading, not even the world’s leading scientists.

Very few participants (only 12%) expect any drastic change in political leadership

and the current state of uncertainty and trouble on the international scene.

The respondents of the two religious subgroups were also particularly concerned about declining moral standards

and deterioration of society through loss of family/community values.

On the question of industrial pollution and climate change,

only 36% of all respondents believe this is a real threat.

This is in line with international surveys that show the current popular belief seems to be that environmentalists are melodramatic

- just “crying wolf.”

In contrast, the two religious subgroups were more concerned – 75% believe that industrial pollution poses a real threat.

Opinions on the question of whether technology is the solution or part of the problem were mixed

and small differences in percentages of opinions between Christians, Muslims and the rest of the population surveyed were insignificant.

Only 35% believe that technology is solving the world’s problems without creating new problems and 27% are unsure.

As expected, a high percentage of the Christian subgroup (80%) believes that “Christianity” has the answer to the world’s problems,

while most of the Muslims (8 out of 10) believe that Islam provides the answer.

Only 12% of the general population thought that Christianity or any of the other religions (8%) have the answer to our problems.

It’s quite probable that the people comprising this minority (12%) were members of a religious community anyway

and included in the survey through the random sampling process.

On the question of whether we are living in the last days of our civilization,

the majority of the Muslim subgroup (6 out of 10) believe we are,

Christians were almost equally split between the YES, the NO and the UNSURE positions,

while the general population were skeptical – only 4% said YES, 15% were unsure and the rest (81%) said quite confidently NO.

The future outlook of Kiwis in general is still surprisingly optimistic.

In spite of the low level of confidence in the world’s leading politicians,

not much trust in the ability of science and technology to save the planet and their almost unanimous skepticism concerning religion,

survey results show that nearly half the general population (48%) feel the future looks brighter than the present.

Another 26% expect the future to be no different than the present.

Only 36% feel pessimistic about the future. In comparison, 11 out of 20 Christians and 6 out of 10 Muslims questioned

felt that the future of our civilization seemed more gloomy than the present.

Three out of 20 and 2 out of 10 respectively thought it looked brighter than the present.

An examination of some pertinent global trends can be enlightening.

The World Energy Outlook report by BP (January 2011) and the International Energy Agency report (IEA November 2011)

predict that global energy demand and consumption will continue to rise rapidly over the next 10 years.

The reports focus on long term trends but reading from the graphical data provided,

one notices that approximately 25% growth is expected over the next 10 years alone.

The data is based on world population growth (approximately 1.7% per annum) and market trends since the year 1983.

This outlook should be raising major concerns among global leaders.

Almost every global measure of environmental pollution, occupational disease,

depletion of natural resources and loss in biodiversity correlates with global energy consumption.

This is exactly what one would expect from a logical cause and effects analysis.

For decades almost every Environmental Protection Agency

has been trying to draw attention to the on-going damage currently being done to the environment.

The fact that we have not yet had to pay for all the damage has allowed governments and the common people to become complacent.

We are reaching the stage where the world’s population is still rapidly expanding,

at a time when we are about to experience a production peak and decline in essential natural resources including stocks of fish,

raw materials for fertilizers, wild game, and affordable fresh water and fossil fuels.

Official projections and graphs of future global production of these essentials are still quite optimistic.

But a close look at the source data for the graphs shows that the statisticians base their projections on speculations about the future.

They assume that because we have always been able to find more oil and gas, deeper fishing grounds,

new raw materials for fertilizers and affordable energy and water purification technology we will continue to do so for generations in future.

In previous centuries when the industrial revolution accelerated population growth in regions with limited resources,

overpopulation was relieved through conquest and expansion into new territories, islands and continents with low density populations.

We no longer have that option.

The solutions we develop with modern technology are now introducing other problems we need to fix as well,

so the problems themselves are multiplying as a result. None of these global Institutions and Corporations [like BP, the IEA and the UN]

have put all the data together and constructed the big picture of the future

– the picture that draws a connection between energy consumption and environmental damage.

Unfortunately all the modern technological developments are responsible for the escalating energy demand,

and the escalating energy demand is precisely the cause of the original problems we were trying to solve.

It’s easy to be forever optimistic when speculating with isolated groups of data.

But a logical analysis and correlation of the global statistics

indicates that creating and applying more technology has become a tail-chasing exercise.

Unlimited population growth on a planet with limited resources and dumping grounds cannot continue indefinitely,

like a grand Ponzi scheme or house of cards, without incurring serious penalties.

We cannot escape this conclusion any longer.

Of course alarmist predictions like this have been misleading in the past, but now it seems they were never wrong, only premature.

Most governments have established and continue to fund their local Environmental Protection Agencies.

But these efforts are typically reactive and have limited success in tackling global concerns.

The leaders of our global village have not yet published any comprehensive, proactive, economically viable plan of action

with evidence based monitoring to demonstrate progress towards achievable goals for halting the escalation of pollution,

proliferation of toxic wastes, loss in biodiversity and conservation of raw materials,

natural resources and affordable energy for future generations.

The challenge is growing by the year and it is anyone’s guess if they ever will.

Ensuring enough supplies for present demands is the best they can do.

So the sceptical attitude of those captured in this opinion survey towards the leading politicians of the world is probably well founded.

A majority of those surveyed (56% combined) think that New Zealanders in general are not fully aware of what’s going on in the world.

But perhaps Kiwis are more aware than we thought.

There were two rather interesting [unexpected] results of the survey.

Firstly, one wonders why the religious people are somewhat more gloomy about the future of our civilization?

Are they better informed or more realistic than the others?

Or is this gloomy expectation because the founders of their particular religions described a more gloomy scenario for the world in the latter days?

The second puzzling question is this –

On what are non-religious Kiwis basing their optimism?

Most were quick to list and describe their concerns and the problems facing the world,

especially after hearing what some other respondents had said.

The question concerning the overall future outlook was left until the end of the list on purpose.

This was to allow people to consider, discuss and reflect on the issues during the interview.

It was hoped that this would enable them to come to a recollected, self-informed decision.

In spite of the lack of confidence in the scientists, politicians and religions of the world, Kiwis are generally undaunted.

The proverbial “She’ll be alright!” seems to prevail.

Do New Zealanders simply not see the problems as particularly serious or relevant to their lives?

Or is this a case of irrational optimism

- a mind set that characterizes people when the predicament is not that good but the options for changing anything

are neither promising nor practical.

Is that the case for our nation today ?
