... GLOBAL NEWS ... NEWS puts the issue back on the map. The pen- dulum is now swinging against fluoride and I believe it is inevitable that we shall stop fluoridating water before long." He said there was now substantial evi- dence that fluoride was harmful to health and he was drawing up a report to present to the government, showing that it did more harm than good. Julian Middleton, a Nottingham-based solicitor acting for more than 200 children with fluorosis, said the payment could help families in their battle for legal aid. "We regard it as extremely significant—albeit it has been made without liability. Fluoride is one of the most poisonous substances known to man. Experts say it is a cause of fluorosis, yet there is nothing to say what is a safe dose for children." The campaign against fluoridation of water supplies has been helped by docu- ments recently declassified by the US Government, showing that scientists had evidence in 1944 that fluoride could cause confusion, drowsiness and listlessness. The discovery is believed to have been made at an atomic weapons base. Further research was ordered but then stopped six months later. The papers were unearthed by Dr Phyllis Mullenix, a toxicologist at the children's hospital in Boston, after carrying out research on the toxicity of fluoride in rats, which suggested it accumulated in the brain and could lead to a lower IQ.

"It is absurd to say our country can issue bonds and cannot issue currency. Both are promises to pay, but one fattens the usurer and the other helps the people. If the cur- rency issued by the people were no good, then the bonds would be no good, either. It is a terrible situation when the govern- ment, to insure the national wealth, must go in debt and submit to ruinous interest charges at the hands of men who control the fictitious value of gold. Interest is the invention of Satan!" (Source: The Spotlight) by taking wealth from the rich and giving it to the poor. To achieve this massive redistribution of wealth, and take virtual control of all the world's resources, a num- ber of specific structural changes are pro- posed for the United Nations " reports Lamb. "The Commission's recom- mendations would consolidate the power of the United Nations into the hands of a very few individuals," he observes. The UN Trusteeship Council would assume control of the "global commons", which is defined to include everything from the depths of the ocean floor to the farthest reaches of the atmosphere. Lamb points out that "the Commission calls for the creation of a new Economic Security Council" whose most important duties would be "to establish independent funding mechanisms for the United Nations system [and] to enforce environ- mental treaties by initiating trade sanctions and levying fines or withholding funding to nations deemed to be in non-compliance with treaty provisions." He explains that "This is the UN body which would collect the wealth from developed nations and redistribute it to developing nations." A UN standing army is also on the agen- da, with the UN Secretary-General serving as Commander-in-Chief. Perhaps most ominous of all, says Lamb, are plans for the UN to "expand its authority and assume responsibility to act in behalf of people within the borders of sovereign WORLD GOVERNMENT BY THE YEAR 2000? lhe UN-funded Commission on Global Governance has completed its three- year study and has now publicly announced its plans to implement "global governance” by the year 2000. Henry Lamb, of the Environmental Conservation Organisation, predicts that the United Nations will convene a World Conference on Global Governance in 1998 "for the purpose of submitting to the world the necessary treaties and agreements for ratification and implementation [of world government] by the year 2000." Writing in a recent issue of Media Bypass magazine, Henry Lamb warns that global governance, as envisioned by the UN and its obliging Commission, "woul be a catastrophic act of Pexwartsi violence, resulting in the loss of national sovereignty, property rights, individual free- dom, and all hope of achieving persona prosperity." He charges that the new "Earth ethic" endorse by the Commission "ignores the fundamen - tal values on which America was founded and promotes instead a form of global social- ism." Welcome to the New World Order! "The Commission intends for the United Nations to correct the injustices in the world EDISON EXPLAINS INTEREST lhe American inventor Thomas Edison had this to say about the monetary sys- tem, while discussing the Mussel Shoals Dam electric power project: "People who will not turn a shovel full of dirt on the project, nor contribute a pound of material, will collect more money from the United States than will the people who supply all the material and do all the work. This is the terrible thing about interest... "But here is the point: If the nation can issue a dollar bond, it can issue a dollar bill. The element that makes the bond good, makes the bill good, also. The dif- ference between the bond and the bill is that the bond lets the money-broker collect twice the amount of the bond and an addi- tional 20 per cent.
