AUGUST -SEPTEMBER 1995 ThiS story has a beginning, it has a middle but it has no ending. The 'endirrg-r~m . undoubtedly be written in countless h?spital records, on tiny gravestones, in the bones of the crippled and on the hearts of the bereaved. Even so, the tiFUe cause of the 'ending' wiJ,~ never be advertised. One record that slipped past the estab lishment net is duplicated herein but, believe it or not, the existence of this 'death certifi cate' has been denied, in writing and to overseas scientific inquiry, by Australian adminis trators. What follows is but a fractional part of the 'middle' of a story that began before the turn of the century and which was provoked by a statement contained in an "Address in Reply to the Governor's Speech to Parliament", as recorded in Victorian Hansard of 12 August 1987, by Mr Harley Rjvers Dickinson, Liberal Party Member of the Victorian Parliament for South Barwol). Hence the title. The relevant Hansard abstract is reproduced herewith. It is emphasised that the writer imputes Mr Dickinson with no other responsibility for the contents of this thesis than being the parliamentary 'trigger' which motivated it and the researched data which it con tains. "At the end of the Second World War, the United States Government sent Charles Eliot Perkins, a research worker in chemistry, biochemistry, physiology and pathology, to take charge of the vast Farben chemical plants in Germany. "While there he was told by German chemists ofa scheme which had been worked out by them during the war and adopted by the German General Staff. "This was to control the population in any given area through mass medication of drinking water. In this scheme, sodium fluoride, occupied a prominent place. "Repeated doses of infinitesimal amounts offluoride will in time reduce an individual's power to resist domination by slowly poisoning and narcotising a certain area of the brain and will thus make him slJbmissive to the will ofthose who wish to govern him. "Both the Germans and the Russians added sodium fluoride to the drinking water of prisoners ofwar to make them stupid and docile." In a book written by Dr Hans Moolenburgh of Haarlem, Holland, called Fluoride-The Freedom Fight, the author describeS the ultimately successful endeavours to free the Dutch people from water fluoridation. (Those endeavours included the only properly con ducted double-blind study ever done anywhere in the world into the effects of tap water fluoridated at one part of fluoride to 1,000,000 parts of water [1 p.p.m.].) One br,ief passage is headed "Perkins", and a reproduction of that section gives suffi cient confirmation, by a remote and independent source, of the "Dickinson Statement" as printed in Hansard, to reinforce the need for additional investigation into this one 'behav iour control' aspect of the 'fluoride debate' and relate it to 1987. (The entire "Perkins" paragraph is reproduced below.) Elsewhere in this book, Dr Moolenburgh also relates how that first "Perkins" anecdote was confirmed in differing ways and from reliable independent sources. "PERKINS" "When 1971 was drawing to a close, I received a paper containing a strange story. This story was to haunt us repeatedly throughout the long, drawn-out battle. It was a story resembling science fiction-bizarre and unbelievable. There are those who warned me not to even mention this story, and I can appreciate why. On the other hand, the task NEXUS • 25
