Missing Nukes on August 29-30, 2007
According to a wide range of reports, several nuclear bombs were “lost” for 36 hours after taking off August 29/30, 2007 on a “cross-country journey” across the U.S., from U.S.A.F Base Minot in North Dakota to U.S.A.F. Base Barksdale in Louisiana. [1]
Reportedly, in total there were six W80-1 nuclear warheads armed on AGM-129 Advanced Cruise Missiles (ACMs) that were “lost.” [2]
The story was first reported by the Military Times, after military servicemen leaked the story.It is also worth noting that on August 27, 2007, just days before the "lost" nukes incident, three B-52 Bombers were performing special missions under the direct authorization of General Moseley, the Chief of Staff of the U.S. Air Force. [3] The exercise was reported as being an aerial information and image gathering mission. The base at Minot is also home of the 91st Space Wings, a unit under the command of Air Force Space Command (AFSPC).According to official reports, the U.S. Air Force pilots did not know that they were carrying weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). Once in Louisiana, they also left the nuclear weapons unsecured on the runway for several hours. [4] U.S. Air Force Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations, Plans, and Requirements, Major-General Richard Y. Newton III commented on the incident, saying there was an “unprecedented” series of procedural errors, which revealed “an erosion of adherence to weapons-handling standards” [5]
These statements are misleading. The lax security was not the result of procedural negligence within the U.S. Air Force, but rather the consequence of a deliberate tampering of these procedures. If a soldier, marine, airman, or sailor were even to be issued a rifle and rifle magazine — weaponry of a far lesser significance, danger, and cost — there is a strict signing and accountability process that involves a chain of command and paperwork. This is part of the set of military checks and balances used by all the services within the U.S. Armed Forces.Military servicemen qualified to speak on the subject will confirm that there is a stringent nuclear weapons handling procedure. There is a rigorous, almost inflexible, chain of command in regards to the handling of nuclear weapons and not just any soldier, sailor, airman, or marine is allowed to handle nuclear weapons. Only servicemen specialized in specific handling and loading procedures, are perm certified to handle, access and load nuclear warheads. Every service personnel that moves or even touches these weapons must sign a tracking paper and has total accountability for their movement. There is good reason for the paperwork behind moving these weapons. The military officers that order the movement of nuclear weapons, including base commanders, must also fill out paper forms.
In other words, unauthorized removal of nuclear weapons would be virtually impossible to accomplish unless the chain of command were bypassed, involving, in this case, the deliberate tampering of the paperwork and tracking procedures.
The strategic bombers that carried the nuclear weapons also could not fly with their loaded nuclear weaponry without the authorization of senior military officials and the base commander. The go-ahead authorization of senior military officials must be transmitted to the servicemen that upload the nuclear weapons. Without this authorization no flights can take place. In the case of the missing nukes, orders were given and flight permission was granted. Once again, any competent and eligible U.S. Air Force member can certify that this is the standard procedure.
There are two important questions to be answered in relation to the "lost" nukes incident:
1. Who gave the order to arm the W80-1 thermonuclear warheads on the AGM-129 Advanced Cruise Missiles (ACMs)? At what level in the military hierarchy did this order originate? How was the order transmitted down the command chain?
2. If this was not a procedural error, what was the underlying military-political objective sought by those who gave the orders?The Impossibility of "Losing" Nuclear Weapons
As Robert Stormer, a former U.S. lieutenant-commander in the U.S. Navy, has commented: “Press reports initially cited the Air Force mistake of flying nuclear weapons over the United States in violation of Air Force standing orders and international treaties, while completely missing the more important major issues, such as how six nuclear cruise missiles got loose to begin with.” [6] Stormer also makes a key point, which is not exactly a secret: “There is a strict chain of custody for all such weapons. Nuclear weapons handling is spelled out in great detail in Air Force regulations, to the credit of that service. Every person who orders the movement of these weapons, handles them, breaks seals or moves any nuclear weapon must sign off for tracking purposes.”
[7] Stormer continues:
“Two armed munitions specialists are required to work as a team with all nuclear weapons. All individuals working with nuclear weapons must meet very strict security standards and be tested for loyalty — this is known as a ‘[Nuclear Weapons] Personnel Reliability Program [DoDD 5210 42].’ They work in restricted areas within eyeshot of one another and are reviewed constantly.”
[8]Stormer unwraps the whole Pentagon cover-up by pointing out some logical facts and military procedures. First he reveals that: “All security forces assigned [to handle and protect nuclear weapons] are authorized to use deadly force to protect the weapons from any threat [including would-be thieves].” [9]
He then points out a physical reality that can not be shrugged aside: “Nor does anyone quickly move a 1-ton cruise missile — or forget about six of them, as reported by some news outlets, especially cruise missiles loaded with high explosives.”
He further explains another physical and procedural reality about nuclear weapons assembly: “The United States also does not transport nuclear weapons meant for elimination attached to their launch vehicles under the wings of a combat aircraft. The procedure is to separate the warhead from the missile, encase the warhead and transport it by military cargo aircraft to a repository — not an operational bomber base that just happens to be the staging area for Middle Eastern operations.”
[10] This last point raises the question of what were the nuclear weapons meant for? In this context, Stomrer puts forth the following list of important questions to which he demands an answer:
1. Why, and for what ostensible purpose, were these nuclear weapons taken to Barksdale?
2. How long was it before the error was discovered?
3. How many mistakes and errors were made, and how many needed to be made, for this to happen?
4. How many and which security protocols were overlooked?
5. How many and which safety procedures were bypassed or ignored?
6. How many other nuclear command and control non-observations of procedure have there been?
7. What is Congress going to do to better oversee U.S. nuclear command and control?
8. How does this incident relate to concern for reliability of control over nuclear weapons and nuclear materials in Russia, Pakistan and elsewhere?
9. Does the Bush administration, as some news reports suggest, have plans to attack Iran with nuclear weapons? It is a matter of perception, whether it is “clear” or “unclear”, as to why the nuclear warheads had not been removed beforehand from the missiles. For those who have been observing these series of “unclear” events it is becoming “clear” that a criminal government is at the helm of the United States.
There was no way that the six nuclear missiles could have been “mistakenly” loaded, especially when their separate warheads had to be affixed to the missiles by individuals specialized in such a momentous task.
It is also being claimed that military teams in both U.S.A.F. Base Minot and U.S.A.F. Base Barksdale made major "procedural errors". What are the probabilities of this occurring simultaneously in two locations? It is also worth noting that original reports from military sources talked about only five of the six nuclear warheads from Minot being accounted for in Barksdale.
[11] Nuclear warheads are also kept in specialized storage areas or bunkers. Moreover, nuclear weapons are not being decommissioned at Barksdale. The Role of the Nuclear Weapons Surety Program: What happened to Electronic Monitoring?
The Nuclear Weapons Surety Program is a joint program between the U.S. Department of Defence and the U.S. Department of Energy. The National Security Agency (NSA) is also involved as well as other U.S. federal government agencies. The Nuclear Weapons System Safety Program is part of this program, which involves a monitoring and safeguards regime for the U.S. nuclear arsenal.
The Nuclear Weapons Security Standard falls under the Nuclear Weapons Surety Program and is in place to disallow any “unauthorized access to nuclear weapons; prevent damage or sabotage to nuclear weapons; prevent loss of custody; and prevent, to the maximum extent possible, radiological contamination caused by unauthorized acts.”
Under this or these safeguards system there also exists a rigorous control of use scheme, which is tied to the military chain of command and the White House. “Command and Control (C2)” and “Use Control”
“Use control” is a set of security measures designed to prevent unauthorized access to nuclear weapons. These measures involve weapons design features, operational procedures, security, and system safety rules.
“Command and Control” or “C2” involves the Office of the President of the United States of America. C2 is an established line of command, which is tied to the White House. Without it, nuclear weapons cannot be deployed or armed as they were in U.S.A.F. Base Minot. It is these two control elements that establish the basis of authorization through which “absolute control of nuclear weapons” is maintained “at all times.”
In addition to the checks and balances in place in regards to handling nuclear weapons, the Defence Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) and its partners manually and electronically inspect and monitor all U.S. nuclear weapons through the Nuclear Weapon Status Information Systems.
More Unanswered Questions:
What Happened to the Computerized Tracking System?The Nuclear Management Information Systems “interface with each other and provide [the U.S. Department of Defence] with the ability to track the location of nuclear weapons and components from cradle-to-grave [meaning from when they are made to when they are decommissioned].”
[12]The Military Times also makes an omission that exposes the official narrative as false and indicates that the event was not just a mistake: “The Defense Department uses a computerized tracking program to keep tabs on each one of its nuclear warheads, said Hans Kristensen, director of the Nuclear Information Project at the Federation of American Scientists. For the six warheads to make it onto the B-52, each one would have had to be signed out of its storage bunker and transported to the bomber.”
[13]This is where the chain of command in regards to military officers falls into play. If any of the stocked inventories of nuclear weapons are moved to an authorized location they will be noticed and tracked by the DTRA and will require the relevant authorization. There is also a code system involved that is tied to the chain of command. The fact that the incident only apparently became known to the U.S. Air Force when military personnel reported it, suggests that either the nuclear weapons were ordered to be moved or that the electronic tracking devices had been removed or tampered with. This scenario would need the involvement of individuals with expertise in military electronics or for those responsible for the monitoring of nuclear weapons to look the other way or both.
Mysterious Deaths in the United States Air Force: Whitewash and Cover-up.
Several military personnel died under mysterious circumstances shortly before and after the incident. There are now questions regarding the fate of these individuals in the U.S. Air Force who could have had relationships in one way or another to the incident or possibly have been directly involved. It is also necessary to state that there is no proof that these deaths are linked to the August flight from Minot to Barksdale in question.
Citizens for Legitimate Government has pointed towards the involvement of the U.S. Air Force in a cover-up and has linked several deaths of U.S. servicemen to the incident. Lori Price has also stated for Citizens for a Legitimate Government that “you need about fourteen signatures to get an armed nuke on a B-52.”Based on several news sources, including the U.S. military, we provide below a detailed review of these mysterious and untimely deaths of U.S. servicemen.
Todd Blue
Airman 1st Class Todd Blue went on leave days after the nuclear weapons were “lost.” Blue died under questionable timing while on leave, visiting his family in Wytheville, Virginia at the age of 20 on September 10, 2007. He was a response force member assigned to the 5th Security Forces Squadron. What does this mean? Airman Todd Blue occupied a key position in weapons systems security at Minot. [14] At Minot U.S.A.F. Base the 5th Security Forces Squadron to which he belonged was responsible for base entry requirements and a particular section, the Weapons System Security section, was responsible for preventing the unauthorized removal of military property. The latter is responsible for security of all priority resources, meaning the security of nuclear weapons. In other words not only did the 5th Security Forces Squadron keep eyes on what entered and left Minot, but they kept an eye on and monitored the nuclear weapons.
John Frueh
U.S. Air Force Captain John Frueh is another serviceman who could have been indirectly connected to the “lost” nuclear weapons. He was reported as being last seen with a GPS device, camera, and camcorder being carried with him in a backpack. Local police in Oregon and the F.B.I. seemed to be looking for him for days. His family also felt that something bad had happened to him.On September 8, 2007 Captain Frueh was found dead in Washington State, near his abandoned rental car, after the Portland Police Department contacted the Skamania County Sheriff’s Officer. [15] The last time he spoke with his family was August 30, 2007. He had arrived from Florida to attend a wedding that he never showed up at. The Oregonian reported that “Authorities in Portland found no activity on his credit or bank cards since [Frueh] was last seen (...) [and that] the last call from his cell phone was made at 12:28 p.m. [August 30, 2007] from Mill Plain Boulevard and Interstate 205 in Vancouver [Washington State].” [16]His background was in meteorology and the study of the atmosphere and weather. He was also reported to be a U.S. Air Force pararescue officer. [17] He was also a major-select candidate, which means he was selected for a promotion as a U.S. Air Force major, but was not officially promoted.
Captain Frueh belonged to the U.S.A.F. Special Operations Command. U.S.A.F. Special Operations Command has its headquarters in Hurlburt Field, Florida and is one of nine major Air Force commands. It is also the U.S. Air Force’s component of U.S. Special Operations Command, a unified command located at MacDill Air Force Base, which is also in Florida. The force provides special operations forces for worldwide deployment and assignment to regional unified commands, such as CENTCOM. Its missions include conduct of global special operations. These operations — and this is where careful attention should be paid — range from “precision application of firepower, such as nuclear weapons,” to infiltration, exfiltration (the removal of “devices,” supplies, spies, special agents, or units from enemy territory), re-supply and refuelling of special operational elements.
In Captain Frueh’s case his death is questionable too. The U.S. Air Force would not let a missing persons’ investigation go forward by the police without conducting its own investigation. Usually the different service branches of the U.S. military would investigate for missing servicemen, to see if these individuals are Absent Without Authorized Leave (AWAL) or have deserted, before an individual’s case is handed over to the police.
Clint Huff, Linda Huff, and Weston Kissel
Another military weatherman, along with his wife, also died after August 30, 2007. Senior Airman Clint Huff, belonging to the 26th Operational Weather Squadron and his wife Linda Huff died in a motorcycle accident on September 15, 2007. [18] The husband and wife fatality happened on Shreveport-Blanchard Highway, near U.S.A.F. Base Barksdale, when according to the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Officer a Pontiac Aztec, a medium-sized SUV, initiated a left turn at the same time that the couple attempted to pass on a no passing zone and collided. [19]
First-Lieutenant Weston Kissel, a B-52H Stratofortress Bomber pilot, also died in a reported Tennessee motorcycle accident. This was while he was on leave in, less than two months from the nuclear B-52 flights, on July 17, 2007. [20] His death came after another single-vehicle accident by another Minot serviceman, Senior Airman Adam Barrs. [21] Adam Barrs and Stephen GarrettSenior Airman Barrs died as a passenger in a vehicle being driven by Airman 1st Class Stephen Garrett, also from Minot. Garrett, also belongs to the 5th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron. The death of Barrs was reported as being part of a single-vehicle car accident. Associated Press reports state that “[Minot] Base officials say 20-year-old Barrs was a passenger in a vehicle that failed to negotiate a curve, hit an approach, hit a tree and started on fire late Tuesday [July 3, 2007] night.” [22] Barrs was pronounced dead on the scene of the accident, while Garrett was taken the hospital with no updates released by the U.S. Air Force. Adam Barrs also belonged to the 5th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, where he was responsible for the maintenance and securing of the electronic communicational and navigation mission systems aboard the B-52H Stratofortresses on base. The 5th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron is also one of the units that are responsible for loading and unloading weaponry onto the B-52H Stratofortresses.The deaths of Kissel and Barrs could be dismissed as irrelevant because they occurred prior to the incident. However, Barrs and Kissel could have been in one way or another connected to the advanced planning of the special operation, prior to the incident (special operations are not planned in a few days and may take months and even longer). There is, of course, no proof and only an independent investigation will be able to reveal whether these deaths are connected to the incident. If there was an internal and secretive operation bypassing most military personnel, a few men in key positions would have to have been involved over a period of time prior to the August 29/30, 2007 flight. Senior Airman Barrs, due to his expertise in communication and navigational systems, could potentially have been involved in the preparations that would have allowed the nuclear weapons to escape detection by military surveillance and be ready for takeoff.
Reprimands, Replacements and Reassignments in the U.S.A.F. Chain of Command
Senior officers, including three colonels and a lieutenant-colonel, are among seventy personnel that will reportedly be disciplined for negligence and for allowing a B-52H Stratofortress Bomber to fly across the U.S. carrying six nuclear-armed cruise missiles that should never have been loaded under its wings.
[23] According to the Military Times, George W. Bush Jr. had been swiftly informed. This is a lockstep procedure. This illustrates the importance tied to the authorization needed for handling nuclear weapons. This is part of a two-way process in regards to authorization from the White House.The commander of the 5th Munitions Squadron and the commander of the 5th Bomb Wing, Colonel Bruce Emig, have been replaced along with a series of other senior officers. This implies that the U.S. Air Force chain of command is directly involved in this event. None of these senior officers have been authorized to speak or make statements, according to U.S. military sources. Will any of these officers receive lucrative departure packages? Have they been reassigned? More generally, the nature of the reprimands directed against senior officers involved has not been fully disclosed.
The “memory” of the incident is being erased through a reorganization of the ranks and a purge at U.S.A.F. Base Minot. The streamlining of the chain of command as well as the mysterious deaths of personnel who could have been involved in the incident, raise a series of far-reaching questions. There are several important issues regarding the senior officers’ chain of command at Minot, which will be addressed in this article.
Once again, the most important questions in regards to the missing nukes are: Who gave the orders and authorization for the operation and what where the underlying objectives of loading armed nuclear missiles?
Other Mysterious Deaths: Was the Missing Nukes Incident connected to US War Plans directed against Iran?
Charles D. Riechers
A U.S. Air Force official, Charles D. Riechers, has been found dead on October 14, 2007. [24] Riechers was a retired Air Force officer and master navigator specializing in electronic warfare. He was a member of the Senior Executive Service of the U.S. Air Force, and was the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition and Management. A description of his duties includes “providing sound expert advice and guidance on acquisition and procurement policies, as well as formulating, reviewing and, as assigned, execution of plans, programs and policies relating to organization, function, operation and improvement of the Air Force’s acquisition system.”
He apparently killed himself by running his car’s engine inside his suburban garage in Virginia. The death of Charles D. Riechers has been casually linked by The Washington Post to his involvement in fraudulent activities and embezzlement. [25] The Washington Post reported that the Air Force had asked defense contractor, Commonwealth Research Institute (C.R.I.), to give him a job with no known duties while he waited for official clearance for his promoted rank in the Pentagon. Riechers is quoted as saying: “I really didn’t do anything for C.R.I.,” and “I [still] got a paycheck from them.” The question, of course, was whether the contractor might expect favours in return upon his assignment to the Pentagon last January. [26] A mysterious suicide letter expressing shame was subsequently reported; the letter was reportedly from a man who had already admitted without shame that he was receiving money for doing nothing. This was known to the U.S. Senate, which had approved his promotion.
In a report featured by Pravda, Russian Intelligence analysts have said that the reported suicide of Charles D. Riechers was a cover-up and that he was murdered because of his involvement in the controversial flight of nuclear weapons over the continental United States.
Pravda reports that “Russian Intelligence Analysts are reporting today that American War Leaders have ‘suicided’ [sic] one of their Top US Air Force Officials Charles D. Riechers as the rift growing between the U.S. War Leaders and their Top Military Officers over a nuclear attack on Iran appears to be nearing open warfare.”
[27] According to the Pravda report, the incident was linked to an operation to smuggle nuclear weapons away from the U.S. military in connection to launching a war against Iran.The Commonwealth Research Institute (CRI), a registered non-profit organization is a subsidiary of Concurrent Technologies, which is registered with the IRS as a tax-exempt charity, which is run by Daniel Richard DeVos. Devos is also an associate of John P. Murtha, who was investigated by the F.B.I. for his Saudi links.
Certainly the ties of the Commonwealth Research Institute (CRI), a non-profit organization working for the Pentagon, are questionable and the organization could be a front for internal operations that bypass most military personnel. The case appears to be part of an internal operation that was being kept a secret from most of the U.S. military, but what for?
Russell E. Dougherty
More than a month before the death of Riechers, General Russell Elliot Dougherty, a retired flag officer, was also reported to have died on September 7, 2007 at his home in Falcon Landing military retirement community in Potomac Falls located in Arlington, Virginia. [28] He once was one of the most senior individuals responsible for the nuclear arsenal of the U.S. military and also the former commander of Strategic Air Command (SAC) and director of the Joint Strategic Target Planning Staff, which identified nuclear targets worldwide amongst its responsibilities. At Minot next to his obituary was a military information notice on suicide, telling servicepersons what the signs of suicide are. [29] Russell Dougherty in the course of his military career in the U.S. Air Force had dealt with the issues pertaining to Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD), full spectrum dominance, how to defeat the enemy and avoid a nuclear war, other uses for nuclear weaponry, Nuclear Primacy for the U.S., and tackling the effects of the wind and weather — due to their unpredictable natures — on the use of nuclear weapons. The fact that the nuclear warheads were attached to the nuclear cruise missiles could mean that someone wanted to take the weapons in one step or to use them right away.
Timely Appointments at U.S.A.F. Base Minot
Several of the commanding officers at Minot were freshly appointed in June, 2007. This may have been part of standard procedures, but the timing should not be ignored. Colonel Robert D. Critchlow was transferred, just before the incident, from the Pentagon to Minot and appointed commanding officer for the 91st Operations Group, a missileer unit and the operational backbone of the 91st Space Wing. In Washington, D.C. he was involved in research for the Congressional Research Services and later posted into Air Force Nuclear Response and Homeland Defence. Colonel Myron L. Freeman was transferred from Japan to Minot in June, 2007. Colonel Freeman was appointed as the commander of the 91st Security Forces Group, which is responsible for securing Minot’s nuclear arsenal. Colonel Gregory S. Tims was also appointed as deputy commander or vice-commander of the 91st Space Wing in June, 2007. However, Colonel Tims was transfered to Minot from California almost a year before. One of the most senior non-commissioned officers (NCOs) or non-commissioned members (NCMs), Chief Master Sergeant Mark R. Clark, was also transferred to U.S.A.F. Base Minot from Nebraska in July, 2007. Colonel Roosevelt Allen was also transferred to Minot from Washington, D.C. to become commander of the 5th Medical Group. Colonel Bruce Emig, the now-former commander of the 5th Bomb Wing, was also transferred to Minot from U.S.A.F. Base Ellsworth in South Dakota in June, 2007. Colonel Emig was also the base commander of Minot. Colonel Cynthia M. Lundell, the now-former group commander for the 5th Maintenance Group, the unit responsible for loading and unloading weaponry onto the B-52H Stratofortresses was also freshly transferred from a NATO post in Western Europe in June, 2007. Were these appointments temporary? Were any of these appointments related to the six “lost” nuclear missiles?Prior to the Missing Nukes Incident, Minot Airmen Meet with the President and the U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff On June 15, 2007, George W. Bush Jr. met senior officers from U.S.A.F. Base Minot at U.S.A.F. Base McConnell in Wichita, Kansas during a visit to Boeing’s Integrated Defense Systems facility. Amongst them was Major Daniel Giacomazza of the 5th Operational Support Squadron. Senator Patrick Roberts of Kansas was also present. “While he chaired the Senate Intelligence Committe from 2002 to 2007, [Senator] Roberts stonewalled attempts to investigate everything from the manipulation of intelligence in the rush to war in Iraq, President Bush’s warrantless wiretaps, and even allegations of the use of torture by the CIA,” according to Associated Press (AP) reports. [30] The same report also indicates that the U.S. President was in Wichita for a political fundraiser, and stopped at a new Boys and Girls Club of America to defray the costs of getting to Wichita via Air Force One for Senator Roberts’ campaign.Military sources have reported that a B-52H Stratofortress was flown to Wichita so that Boeing’s engineers could take a look in order to make adjustments to the war planes for a new military program. [31] Nothing has been reported about any private meetings between President Bush Jr. or any of his presidential staff and the personnel from Minot. However, reports have been made of meetings between military families and the U.S. President in his office on Air Force One. General Moseley, the Air Force Chief of Staff, had previously visited Minot on March 14-15, 2007, a month before Minot airmen went to Wichita. [32] If a secret mission was being prepared, these events could have played a role in the recruiting phases for an important internal special operation.
Following their recruitment, Minot servicemen could have symbolically met General Moseley or White House officials to understand that the mission was being sanctioned by the highest ranks and offices in the United States.
Orders had to Come from the Top: Treason of the Highest Order
Orders had to come from higher up. The operation would not have been possible without the involvement of more than one individual in the highest ranks of the U.S. Air Force command structure and the Pentagon. The only way to bypass these separate chains of command is “to be above them” (from higher up), as well as have the possibility of directly overseeing their implementation. These orders would then have been communicated to lower levels in the US Air Force command chain in different locations, to allow for a so-called “oversight” to proceed. The alternative to this is “an alternative chain of command,” although this also needs someone in the highest ranks of office to organize and oversee.
The post given to Riechers was politically motivated, given his track record in the U.S. Air Force. Riechers had been in a position of responsibility in the U.S. Air Force special operational support activities; something he had in common with Russell Dougherty, the former SAC commander. He would have been one of the best suited individuals for making arrangements in the case of an alternative command structure for a secretive nuclear operation.
Moreover, he already had a record of corrupt behaviour through his involvement with the Commonwealth Research Institute. The possible involvement of U.S. Air Force weathermen and special operatives raises many questions as to what exactly was the objective of making the nuclear weapons disappear.
[33]The Investigation
The U.S. Air Force has publicly stated that it has made a “mistake,” which is very unusual and almost unprecedented for a military organization that tries to continually assure the American public of their safety.The fact that seventy or more military personnel have been punished in the case of the “lost” nuclear weapons does not mean, however, that the senior commanding officers responsible for having carried out the special operation will be identified and punished.
Quite the opposite. The investigation could indeed result in a camouflage of the chain of command, where lower-ranking military personnel are accused and court-martialed, with a view to ultimately protecting those in high office who have committed an act of treason.The series of deaths mentioned above, may have no ties whatsoever with the the August flight in question from Minot to Barksdale, but the issues of command, monitoring, and authorization cannot be overlooked or ignored.
The American people have before them a case of treason that involves the highest offices of government and most probably the offices of the President and the Vice-President.
Once again, the “C2” process involves the Office of the President and Commander-in-Chief. It is an established line of command, without which nuclear weapons could not have been deployed or armed as they were in U.S.A.F. Base Minot. It is this command element that establishes the basis of authorization through which “absolute control of nuclear weapons” is maintained “at all times.”
With time it is possible that military servicemen and servicewomen may come forward with more information. However, in the meantime, there has been a streamlining of military personnel at U.S.A.F. Minot. Base personnel have become dispersed and reassigned to other locations. If they on the grounds of loyalty to their country, the United States of America, come forward and reveal what has taken place, they are to be saluted with full honour by all ranks.
As George Orwell said, “In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act,” and indeed these are deceitful times.
The fact that U.S. Air Force officers came forward and reported this incident is contrary to U.S. military procedures, regulations, and laws. The U.S. military will never release any information that will risk or damage its reputation. Any information in regards to nuclear weapons can not be released without prior consultations with and authorization by the White House. The nuclear weapons were armed and moved deliberately. Orders had to have come from the highest echelons of the U.S. government. The question is what exactly were they meant for? Were they part of a war agenda or something else?
Bush Threatens Iran with Nuclear Weapons
What adds intrigue to an understanding of the missing nukes, are the international events and war games taking place just after the “lost” nuclear weapons incident, not to mention the President’s ongoing threats to attack Iran with nuclear weapons and Vice President Cheney's repeated warnings that a second large scale terrorist attack on America is under preparation, with the support of Iran.
In the U.S., under the Vigilant Shield 2008 war games (initiated in September, 2007) and the TOPOFF anti-terrorism exercises, some form of nuclear terrorist attack on American soil had been envisaged. The roles of Russia and China had also been contemplated.
The latter would be “a likely scenario” had the U.S. attacked Iran and as a result Russia and China had decided to intervene. [34] Under Vigilant Shield 2007, held in 2006, the possibility of a nuclear war with Iran’s allies, Russia and China, had been contemplated in the war games scenario. The Kremlin has responded by holding its own war games.[35] An unveiled threat to trigger World War Three has been the response of George W. Bush Jr. to Russia’s statements warning that a U.S. sponsored war with Iran, could result in an escalating World War III scenario.
The six nuclear warheads were not meant for use in theatre operations against Iran. This is obvious because if they were then they would have been deployed via the proper procedural routes without the need to hide anything. Besides, there are already theatre-level nuclear weapons ready and armed in Europe and the Middle East for any possible Middle Eastern mission.
There was something more to the incident.It is also worth noting that the Israelis launched an attack on an alleged Syrian nuclear facility that both Tel Aviv and the White House claim was constructed with the assistance of North Korea. This event has been used, through official statements and media disinformation, to draw a Syria-Iran-North Korea nuclear proliferation axis.
[36]In regards to the case of the missing nuclear weapons, weathermen and military personnel with an expertise in space and missile components were involved. The incident took place during a time when the U.S. missile shield projects in Eastern Europe and Eastern Asia, directed against Russia and China, were raising international tensions and alarms.
On October 23, 2007, President Bush Jr. stated: “The need for missile defence in Europe is real and I believe it’s urgent.” [37]Nuclear warfare, the militarization of space, and “the missile shield” are interrelated military processes. The overtones of Nuclear Primacy are hanging in the air. One of the goals of the U.S. military has been to effectively shield itself from a potential Russian or potential Russian and Chinese nuclear response to a nuclear “First Strike” from the U.S. military. [38] The militarization of space is also deeply linked to this military project. Like their advanced knowledge about the U.S. missile shield project, Russian and Chinese officials have got wind of these ambitions and are fully aware of what the U.S. intends to do.

[36] Both the U.S. and Israeli governments cite the arrival of a North Korean ship with alleged nuclear-related cargo as proof, but one needs only point out one fact to dislodge this claim. The U.S. government has setup an internationally illegal program involved in policing the seas and maritime traffic, the International Proliferation Initiative (IPI). Under the IPI the U.S. has been illegally stopping North Korean vessels and inspecting them, especially when they have suspected suspicious materials. Hereto, North Korea has not been given any carte blanches from vessel inspections. The U.S. Navy and NATO vessels have a virtual cordon of the waterways around the Middle East from the Indian Ocean to the Read Sea and Mediterranean Sea. If the North Korean vessel had nuclear materials it would never have reached Syria.[37] Missile shield is ‘urgent’ - Bush, British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), October 23, 2007.The U.S. is well in the process of implementing the recommendations of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC); “[The United States must] develop and deploy missile defences to defend the American homeland and American allies, and to provide a secure basis for U.S. power projection around the world,” and “Control the new ‘international commons’ of space and cyberspace and pave the way for the creation of a new military service — U.S. Space Forces — with the mission of space control.”Thomas Donnelly et al., Rebuilding America’s Defenses: Strategy, Forces, and Resources For A New Century (The Project for the New American Century: September 2000), p.v.[38] It is here that two things should be noted in regards to physics and magnetospheric physics; Firstly, nuclear explosions from the air are different than ground-based nuclear explosions in many ways (including contamination levels), but the weather and wind direction are major unknowns or variables; Secondly, as a fundamental natural law energy never disappears, it only changes or is transferred. The energy from nuclear explosions can theoretically be transferred into the Earth’ magnetic radiation fields, called the Van Allen Belt or the Van Allen Belts, and used to energize and excite various particles, sub-atomic particles, and ions. Tentatively, if manipulated this can have harmful results on surface areas, including burning electronic and communication devices, and military applications such as disrupting satellites in space. If this were possible Russian, Chinese, Iranian, or Indian military defences, communications, and missile facilities could be effortlessly neutralized.
These radiation belts also travel in loops and notionally an energized pulse set off from an area in the U.S. could circumnavigate into an area halfway around the globe.
In fact the U.S. military has been experimenting with manipulating the radiation belts since the end of the Second World War. The U.S. Navy’s Project Argus, taking place from August to September 1958, is an example. A total of five nuclear weapons were used; three atom bombs (weapons using nuclear fission) were detonated above the Atlantic Ocean and two thermonuclear or hydrogen bombs (weapons using nuclear fusion) in the Pacific Ocean in an effort to manipulate the Van Allen Belts.

We all have to resist this horrific, evil war on the people of Iraq,Afghanistan, Iran, Lybia, Palestine, Syria, Pakistan and the Islamic nations.”
Published on Tuesday, February 15, 2005 by CommonDreams.org
Pharisee Nation
by John Dear
Last September, I spoke to some 2,000 students during their annual lecture at a Baptist college in Pennsylvania. After a short prayer service for peace centered on the Beatitudes, I took the stage and got right to the point. “Now let me get this straight,” I said. “Jesus says, ‘Blessed are the peacemakers,’ which means he does not say, ‘Blessed are the warmakers,’ which means, the warmakers are not blessed, which means warmakers are cursed, which means, if you want to follow the nonviolent Jesus you have to work for peace, which means, we all have to resist this horrific, evil war on the people of Iraq.”
With that, the place exploded, and 500 students stormed out. The rest of them then started chanting, “Bush! Bush! Bush!”
So much for my speech. Not to mention the Beatitudes.
I was not at all surprised that George W. Bush was reelected president. As I travel the country speaking out against war, injustice and nuclear weapons, I see many people consciously siding with the culture of war, choosing the path of violence, supporting corporate greed, rampant militarism, and global domination. I see many others swept up in the raging current of patriotism. Since most of these people, beginning with the president, claim to be Christian, I am ashamed and appalled that they support war and systemic injustice, that they do it in the name of God, and that they feign fidelity to the nonviolent Jesus who gave his life resisting institutionalized injustice.
I am reminded of Flannery O’Connor’s great book, “Wise Blood,” where her outrageous character Hazel Motes is so fed up with Christian hypocrisy that he forms his own church, the “Church of Christ without Christ,” “where the lame don’t walk, the blind don’t see, and the dead don’t rise.” That’s where we are headed today.
I used to think these all-American Christians never read the Gospel, that they simply chose not to be authentic disciples of the nonviolent Jesus. Now, alas, I think they have indeed chosen discipleship, but not to the hero of the Gospels, Jesus. Instead, through their actions, they have become disciples of the devout, religious, all-powerful, murderous Pharisees who killed him.
A Culture of Pharisees
We have become a culture of Pharisees. Instead of practicing an authentic spirituality of compassion, nonviolence, love and peace, we as a collective people have become self-righteous, arrogant, powerful, murderous hypocrites who dominate and kill others in the name of God. The Pharisees supported the brutal Roman rulers and soldiers, and lived off the comforts of the empire by running an elaborate banking system which charged an exorbitant fee for ordinary people just to worship God in the Temple. Since they taught that God was present only in the Temple, they were able to control the entire population. If anyone opposed their power or violated their law, the Pharisees could kill them on the spot, even in the holy sanctuary.
Most North American Christians are now becoming more and more like these hypocritical Pharisees. We side with the rulers, the bankers, and the corporate millionaires and billionaires. We run the Pentagon, bless the bombing raids, support executions, make nuclear weapons and seek global domination for America as if that was what the nonviolent Jesus wants. And we dismiss anyone who disagrees with us.
We have become a mean, vicious people, what the bible calls “stiff-necked people.” And we do it all with the mistaken belief that we have the blessing of God.
In the past, empires persecuted religious groups and threatened them into passivity and silence. Now these so-called Christians run the American empire, and teach a subtle spirituality of empire to back up their power in the name of God. This spirituality of empire insists that violence saves us, might makes right, war is justified, bombing raids are blessed, nuclear weapons offer the only true security from terrorism, and the good news is not love for our enemies, but the elimination of them. The empire is working hard these days to tell the nation--and the churches--what is moral and immoral, sinful and holy. It denounces certain personal behavior as immoral, in order to distract us from the blatant immorality and mortal sin of the U.S. bombing raids which have left 100,000 Iraqis dead, or our ongoing development of thousands of weapons of mass destruction. Our Pharisee rulers would have us believe that our wars and our weapons are holy and blessed by God.
In the old days, the early Christians had big words for such behavior, such lies. They were called “blasphemous, idolatrous, heretical, hypocritical and sinful.” Such words and actions were denounced as the betrayal, denial and execution of Jesus all over again in the world’s poor. But the empire needs the church to bless and support its wars, or at least to remain passive and silent. As we Christians go along with the Bush administration and the American empire, we betray Jesus, renounce his teachings, and create a “Church of Christ without Christ,“ as Flannery O’Connor foresaw.
Troublemaking Nonviolence, the Measure of the Gospel
The first thing we Christians have to do in this time is not to become good Pharisees. Instead, we have to try all over again to follow the dangerous, nonviolent, troublemaking Jesus. I believe war, weapons, corporate greed and systemic injustice are an abomination in the sight of God. They are the definition of mortal sin. They mock God and threaten to destroy God’s gift of creation. If you want to seek the living God, you have to pit your entire life against war, weapons, greed and injustice--and their perpetrators. It is as simple as that.
Every religion, including Islam, Judaism, Hinduism and Buddhism, is rooted in nonviolence, but I submit that the only thing we know for sure about Jesus is that he was nonviolent and so, nonviolence is the hallmark of Christianity and the measure of authentic Christian living. Jesus commands that we love one another, love our neighbors, seek justice, forgive those who hurt us, pray for our persecutors, and be as compassionate as God. But at the center of his teaching is the most radical declaration ever uttered: “love your enemies.”
If we dare call ourselves Christian, we cannot support war or nuclear weapons or corporate greed or executions or systemic injustice of any kind. If we do, we may well be devout American citizens, but we no longer follow the nonviolent Jesus. We have joined the hypocrites and blasphemers of the land, beginning with their leaders in the White House, the Pentagon and Los Alamos.
Jesus resisted the empire, engaged in nonviolent civil disobedience in the Temple, was arrested by the Pharisees, tried by the Roman governor and executed by Roman soldiers. If we dare follow this nonviolent revolutionary, we too must resist empire, engage in nonviolent civil disobedience against U.S. warmaking and imperial domination, and risk arrest and imprisonment like the great modern day disciples, Martin Luther King, Jr., Dorothy Day and Philip Berrigan.
If we do not want to be part of the Pharisaic culture and do want to follow the nonviolent Jesus, we have to get in trouble just as Jesus was constantly in trouble for speaking the truth, loving the wrong people, worshipping the wrong way, and promoting the wrong things, like justice and peace. We have to resist this new American empire, as well as its false spirituality and all those who claim to be Christian yet support the murder of other human beings. We have to repent of the sin of war, put down the sword, practice Gospel nonviolence, and take up the cross of revolutionary nonviolence by loving our enemies and discovering what the spiritual life is all about.
Just because the culture and the cultural church have joined with the empire and its wars does not mean that we all have to go along with such heresy, or fall into despair as if nothing can be done. It is never too late to try to follow the troublemaking Jesus, to join his practice of revolutionary nonviolence and become authentic Christians. We may find ourselves in trouble, even at the hands of so-called Christians, just as Jesus was in trouble at the hands of the so-called religious leaders of his day. But this very trouble may lead us back to those Beatitude blessings.

Defenses Against ROS
ROS are Essential
Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD)
Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) Reactive oxygen species are
molecules like hydrogen peroxide (#5)
ions like the hypochlorite ion (#6)
radicals like the hydroxyl radical (#3).
It is the most reactive of them all; note how it differs from the hydroxyl ion (#4).
the superoxide anion (#2) which is both ion and radical. A radical (also called a "free radical") is a clusters of atoms one of which contains an unpaired electron (shown in red) in its outermost shell of electrons. This is an extremely unstable configuration, and radicals quickly react with other molecules or radicals to achieve the stable configuration of 4 pairs of electrons in their outermost shell (one pair for hydrogen).
Link to discussion of electron organization in atoms.
ROS FormationReactive oxygen species are formed by several different mechanisms:
the interaction of ionizing radiation with biological molecules
as an unavoidable byproduct of cellular respiration.
Some electrons passing "down" the electron transport chain leak away from the main path (especially as they pass through ubiquinone) and go directly to reduce oxygen molecules to the superoxide anion (#2 above).
synthesized by dedicated enzymes in phagocytic cells like neutrophils and macrophages
NADPH oxidase (in both type of phagocytes)
myeloperoxidase (in neutrophils only)
ROS Activity
Strong oxidants like the various ROS can damage other molecules and the cell structures of which they are a part.
Among the most important of these are the actions of free radicals on the fatty acid side chains of lipids in the various membranes of the cell, especially mitochondrial membranes (which are directly exposed to the superoxide anions produced during cellular respiration). The figure shows one common series of reactions.
A hydroxyl radical removes a hydrogen atom from one of the carbon atoms in the fatty acid chain (only a portion of which is shown) forming a molecule of water and leaving the carbon atom with an unpaired electron (in red); thus now a radical.
Several possible fates await it.
One of the most likely (and shown here) is to react with a molecule of oxygen (O2) forming a peroxyl radical.
This might then steal a hydrogen atom from a nearby side chain making it now a radical.
One of the insidious things about free radicals is that in interacting with other molecules to gain a stable configuration of electrons, they convert that target molecule into a radical. So a chain reaction begins that will propagate until two radicals meet each other and each contributes its unpaired electron to form a covalent bond linking the two.
Two common examples:
The peroxyl radical may interact with:
another peroxyl radical on a nearby side chain crosslinking them with a covalent bond.
another nearby carbon-centered radical crosslinking them covalently.
In both these latter cases, radical formation comes to an end but with the result that the fatty acid side chains of membrane lipids may have become so deformed as to damage the membrane.
The lipofuscin so characteristic of aging cells may be formed by these mechanisms.
Defenses Against ROSCells have a variety of defenses against the harmful effects of ROS. These include two enzymes:
superoxide dismutase (SOD), which converts two superoxide anions into a molecule of hydrogen peroxide and one of oxygen, and catalase as well as several small molecules that are antioxidants, such as alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E). This can break the covalent links that ROS have formed between fatty acid side chains in membrane lipids.
uric acid. (Perhaps the long life span of some reptiles and birds is attributable to their high levels of uric acid.)
vitamin C (in the right concentration)
Pharmacy shelves are filled with antioxidant preparations that people take in the hope of warding off the damaging effects (perhaps including aging) of ROS.
ROS are Essential
But it is important that the attempt to limit the production of ROS not succeed too well. Because ROS have important functions to perform in the cell.
Examples:
The cells of the thyroid gland must make hydrogen peroxide in order to attach iodine atoms to thyroglobulin in the synthesis of thyroxine.
Macrophages and neutrophils must generate ROS in order to kill some types of bacteria that they engulf by phagocytosis.
Bacteria are engulfed into a phagosome.
This fuses with a lysosome.
Subunits of the enzyme NADPH oxidase assemble in the lysosome membrane forming the active enzyme.
It catalyzes the synthesis of the superoxide anion. NADPH − 2 e- + 2O2 -> NADP+ + H+ + 2 . O2−
This activity produces a large increase in oxygen consumption, called the "respiratory burst".
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) converts this into hydrogen peroxide, which kills off the engulfed bacteria (except those that manufacture enough catalase to protect themselves).
Neutrophils (but not macrophages) also kill off engulfed pathogens by using the enzyme myeloperoxidase which catalyzes the reaction of hydrogen peroxide (made from superoxide anions) with chloride ions to produce the strongly antiseptic hypochlorite ion (OCl−, #6 above).H2O2 + Cl− -> HOCl (hypochlorous acid) + OH−HOCl -> H+ + OCl−
Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD)
This rare genetic disorder demonstrates the importance of ROS in protecting us from many type of bacterial infection. It is caused by a defective gene for one of the subunits of NADPH oxidase.People with CGD have a difficult time ridding themselves of bacterial infections — especially those caused by bacteria (e.g. staphylococci, Salmonella, E. coli, mycobacteria) that produce catalase to protect themselves against the hydrogen peroxide generated by the macrophages and neutrophils that engulf them. Often the result is the development of a persisting nest of infected cells — called a granuloma.
The gene for one of the subunits of NADPH most frequently mutated in CGD is on the X chromosome. Thus males are principally affected.
However, examination of the neutrophils of females who are carriers of the gene shows that 50% of them do not make active NADPH oxidase when they engulf pathogens. In these cells, the X chromosome with the nonmutant allele has been inactivated and converted into a Barr body. [Link to discussion]
In June 2005, two cases of successful gene therapy for CGD were reported. Blood stem cells from the patients were removed, and the active gene for the NADPH subunit inserted into them using a retroviral vector. The transformed cells were returned to the patients, took up residence in their bone marrow, proliferated successfully, and improved their symptoms.

This is an extremely unstable configuration, and radicals quickly react with other molecules or radicals to achieve the stable configuration of 4 pairs of electrons in their outermost shell (one pair for hydrogen).
Link to discussion of electron organization in atoms.
ROS FormationReactive oxygen species are formed by several different mechanisms:
the interaction of ionizing radiation with biological molecules
as an unavoidable byproduct of cellular respiration.
Some electrons passing "down" the electron transport chain leak away from the main path (especially as they pass through ubiquinone) and go directly to reduce oxygen molecules to the superoxide anion (#2 above).
synthesized by dedicated enzymes in phagocytic cells like neutrophils and macrophages
NADPH oxidase (in both type of phagocytes)
myeloperoxidase (in neutrophils only)
ROS Activity
Strong oxidants like the various ROS can damage other molecules and the cell structures of which they are a part.
Among the most important of these are the actions of free radicals on the fatty acid side chains of lipids in the various membranes of the cell, especially mitochondrial membranes (which are directly exposed to the superoxide anions produced during cellular respiration). The figure shows one common series of reactions.
A hydroxyl radical removes a hydrogen atom from one of the carbon atoms in the fatty acid chain (only a portion of which is shown) forming a molecule of water and leaving the carbon atom with an unpaired electron (in red); thus now a radical.
Several possible fates await it.
One of the most likely (and shown here) is to react with a molecule of oxygen (O2) forming a peroxyl radical.
This might then steal a hydrogen atom from a nearby side chain making it now a radical.
One of the insidious things about free radicals is that in interacting with other molecules to gain a stable configuration of electrons, they convert that target molecule into a radical. So a chain reaction begins that will propagate until two radicals meet each other and each contributes its unpaired electron to form a covalent bond linking the two.
Two common examples:
The peroxyl radical may interact with:
another peroxyl radical on a nearby side chain crosslinking them with a covalent bond.
another nearby carbon-centered radical crosslinking them covalently.
In both these latter cases, radical formation comes to an end but with the result that the fatty acid side chains of membrane lipids may have become so deformed as to damage the membrane.
The lipofuscin so characteristic of aging cells may be formed by these mechanisms.
Defenses Against ROSCells have a variety of defenses against the harmful effects of ROS. These include two enzymes:
superoxide dismutase (SOD), which converts two superoxide anions into a molecule of hydrogen peroxide and one of oxygen, and catalase as well as several small molecules that are antioxidants, such as alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E). This can break the covalent links that ROS have formed between fatty acid side chains in membrane lipids.
uric acid. (Perhaps the long life span of some reptiles and birds is attributable to their high levels of uric acid.)
vitamin C (in the right concentration)
Pharmacy shelves are filled with antioxidant preparations that people take in the hope of warding off the damaging effects (perhaps including aging) of ROS.
ROS are Essential
But it is important that the attempt to limit the production of ROS not succeed too well. Because ROS have important functions to perform in the cell.
Examples:
The cells of the thyroid gland must make hydrogen peroxide in order to attach iodine atoms to thyroglobulin in the synthesis of thyroxine.
Macrophages and neutrophils must generate ROS in order to kill some types of bacteria that they engulf by phagocytosis.
Bacteria are engulfed into a phagosome.
This fuses with a lysosome.
Subunits of the enzyme NADPH oxidase assemble in the lysosome membrane forming the active enzyme.
It catalyzes the synthesis of the superoxide anion. NADPH − 2 e- + 2O2 -> NADP+ + H+ + 2 . O2−
This activity produces a large increase in oxygen consumption, called the "respiratory burst".
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) converts this into hydrogen peroxide, which kills off the engulfed bacteria (except those that manufacture enough catalase to protect themselves).
Neutrophils (but not macrophages) also kill off engulfed pathogens by using the enzyme myeloperoxidase which catalyzes the reaction of hydrogen peroxide (made from superoxide anions) with chloride ions to produce the strongly antiseptic hypochlorite ion (OCl−, #6 above).H2O2 + Cl− -> HOCl (hypochlorous acid) + OH−HOCl -> H+ + OCl−
Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD)
This rare genetic disorder demonstrates the importance of ROS in protecting us from many type of bacterial infection. It is caused by a defective gene for one of the subunits of NADPH oxidase.People with CGD have a difficult time ridding themselves of bacterial infections — especially those caused by bacteria (e.g. staphylococci, Salmonella, E. coli, mycobacteria) that produce catalase to protect themselves against the hydrogen peroxide generated by the macrophages and neutrophils that engulf them. Often the result is the development of a persisting nest of infected cells — called a granuloma.
The gene for one of the subunits of NADPH most frequently mutated in CGD is on the X chromosome. Thus males are principally affected.
However, examination of the neutrophils of females who are carriers of the gene shows that 50% of them do not make active NADPH oxidase when they engulf pathogens. In these cells, the X chromosome with the nonmutant allele has been inactivated and converted into a Barr body. [Link to discussion]
In June 2005, two cases of successful gene therapy for CGD were reported. Blood stem cells from the patients were removed, and the active gene for the NADPH subunit inserted into them using a retroviral vector. The transformed cells were returned to the patients, took up residence in their bone marrow, proliferated successfully, and improved their symptoms.

(Hydrogen Fluoride damages the Pineal Gland and HPA Axis factors that lead to long term diseases, illness, and early death.)
By: Jim Phelps Copyright 2004, 2005
This monologue is presented to orient persons, using plain language and lots of simple references, to the problems associated with fluorine and fluoride chemicals.
If I were to name one element or one element or chemical compound that would represent the "Bane of Mans existence on Earth" it would be fluorine or fluoride. Fluorine has caused huge problems for man since the beginning of time due to volcanic effects on Earth. Fluorine or Hydrogen Fluoride released from volcanic events or even meteor terminal events is the principle effect for extinction events on this planet.
The real story of fluorides in industry reads like the PBS-TV documentary called "Trade Secrets" by Bill Moyers on the chemical called vinyl chloride or the book called "Silent Spring" about rising chemical pesticides problems by Rachael Carson. The risks from fluoride chemicals are a thousand times worse than what was presented by these two reports on health risks. Fluoride was seen as a necessary evil for the production of metals, coal energy, and uranium for nuclear weapons. Our own US Government covered up the dangers of fluoride concentrations rising in the environment.
Rising levels of fluoride are directly connected to disruption of enzymes necessary for cell repair (glutathione particularly) and removal of toxic metals from the human body. The effect results in the rise of lead, mercury and other toxic metals in children that impair their IQ and long term health. In the elderly is hastens the onset of gray hair because it is linked to mercury concentrations in the body. It also adds to brittle bone problems, dementia from toxic metals effects on the brain, and quite literally onset for immune illnesses and death. Fluoride is not a friend to children's teeth, but a deadly cumulative poison where 98 percent of the fluoride ingested goes right to the bone of children to disrupt their health in much the same way that Sr-90 from nuclear testing was feared to cause cancer in children.
This report will take a look at the information that sheds the greater light of truth on the dangers of fluoride and what it is doing to the general welfare of the US citizens. We shall take a look at prominent books on the topic, at the latest peer reviewed research articles, and how the Manhattan Project's knowledge has been suppressed as well as other industry induced harms to the public's risk factors due to fluoride releases to the environment.
Fluoride in the body rises constantly with age and there is even one excellent book named for this effect: "Fluoride The Aging Factor" by Dr. John Yiamouyiannis [ISBN 0-913571-03-2]. Fluoride increases in the bones with age and all the effects of aging leading to immune system dysfunction and death track the retention of fluoride in the human body. Yianouyiannis and others have picked up on this effect. See excerpts of his book: Click Here and Here.
The industrial age has brought on a huge rise in the levels of fluoride in the air, water, and food supplies. Persons like the German doctor George Waldbott were some of the first to begin to point out the problems of fluoride. One of his books even presents the issue as the Dilemma: "Fluoride The Great Dilemma" by George Waldbott, MD [ISBN 0-87291-097-0] with foreword by Alton Ochsner, MD. Waldbott has this book foreword'd by one of the lead persons on the kill Castro with Cancer methods using SV-40 effects with a trigger method using radiation or fluoride. See book excerpts: Waldbott Book.
One of the most interesting books on fluoride is self published by Dr. Geoffrey Smith and called "The Fluoride Conspiracy and the Secret War." It is only available in Australia these days. Smith points out that a vaccine could have managed tooth decay. If one looks into the root of the problem with cavities, all the evidence points to refined sugar. Refined sugar is an immune system poison and strongly hinders the macrophages and other immune cells from cleaning and killing the bacteria on the teeth. This effect shows up strongly when one looks at India, where this people's culture does not use the refined sugar, and their teeth are all near perfect. Exceptions being in areas of India where the fluoride levels are high and then teeth are broken and have ugly coloration. One more reason the governments pushed for fluoride to control cavities was to support the huge sugar industry dominance in the US. Monetary interests to promote sugar and promote emissions of fluoride from aluminum, steel, uranium and other toxic release industries dictated fluoride. Whereas common sense and the natural order of immune processes would say fluoridation is based on insane logic. The use of toxic fluoride plays a role in killing the human immune system.
More recent books speak to the huge cover up of industry and the US Govt. on the issues of fluoride connected to the nuclear bomb and strategic metals processing, see: "The Fluoride Deception" by Christopher Bryson [ISBN 1-58322-526-9]. Book Review. The health damages due to fluoride releases of these operations were so destructive that the Govt. with industry partners [DuPont, ALCOA, Rockefellers, Kettering Labs of Cincinnati, Oh.] decided to conceal the effects from the public. Kettering Labs is located where the occupation illness center in the US is located and Kettering is funded by the polluters and most all their files on fluoride research are kept locked away from the public. This has lead to extreme levels of abuse toward citizens and their health in the name of attempting to defeat communism. See: Kettering History.
Fluoride (cryolite dust--aluminum-fluoride compound) has been used as a pesticide for centuries and when one looks for the method of which it kills bugs, one quickly discovers the mechanism involves the upsetting of trace metal metabolism within cells. In insecticide uses, higher concentrations are applied, but when these same poisons enter the human food chain these same effects happen, only more slowly. Every human on the face of planet Earth is affected by this fluoride effect, some more than others depending on geographic, food consumption, industry, and water pollution. Fluoride is cumulative from even the subtlest levels taken in by human consumption.
The key to understanding the most damaging effect of fluoride is to know about these trace metal upsets that control enzyme repairs and other processes within cells. Upsets in these trace metals occur due to the fact that fluorine is the most electronegative element and when present within the body will seize onto trace metals spontaneously. This effect keeps these trace metals from being able to do their essential jobs within the body and cells. This effect leads to rise in cell damages, higher levels of oxidation like damage to DNA, rises in the cytokine levels, loss of immune system tolerance in detection and elimination of varied pathogens, etc.
The problems associated with fluoride doesn't stop with the metals-complex issues, as fluoride damages the thyroid hormone due to iodine like valence effects, it damages the pineal gland and the melatonin / serotonin hormones, it contributes to arterial plaque, it upsets many of the immune cells like macrophage energy, it associates to heart attacks, kidney damage, and etc. If there were one element that were to be associated with the "God of the Underground," Death, and Hell; it would be fluorine.
Rising fluorine toxic effects set up the need for the SSRI class of drugs used to combat the damage to the pineal gland and the reduction of serotonin hormone levels. These serotonin levels are essential for the brain's immune repair function and higher performance cognitive processing skills. It is this connection for why fluorine was used in German and Russian prisons to keep their inmates dumbed down and not resistant to authority. It is a sort of mind control vector by allowing mental dysfunction. Today, the industrial based politics of the US apply this same sinister control upon the US citizens themselves, taking the public hostage in their control schemes.
Fluoride effects are directly related to loss of IQ in children and the dumbing down of the population that makes them easier to lead. Fluoride effects linked to aluminum are linked to the passage of aluminum across the blood-brain-barrier that is linked with Alzheimer's effects. Fluorides complex with aluminum to form G-protein like substances that are able to permanently upset cell bonding sites and shut down GSH and SOD enzymes. Fluorides increase the retention of toxic metals in the body and lower the retention of the beneficial trace metals, and this is a death keel to essential enzyme processes.
The mechanism for the toxic metals rise in the body due to fluorides is due to damage to the selenium based glutathione enzyme that clears toxic metals from the body. Fluorides rising in the body shuts down the enzyme glutathione and others and cause a rise in the toxic metals like lead, mercury and others in the body. In children, the effect causes loss of IQ and cognitive processing abilities. In older persons it is directly connected to the process of gray hair because rising mercury toxicity on the hair follicles induces it. And directly linked to dimentia and Alzheimers because the glutathione can no longer clear out aluminum and other toxic metals and keep them from the brain.
Fluorine was a large factor in the health problems in London due to the "London Fogs" that stemmed from the burning of high fluoride "Sea Coal." These emissions produced fogs so thick they were called "Pea Soup" and persons had to lead carriages around the streets in broad daylight with lanterns. It is this same area that spawned the problems connected to "Jack the Ripper," who appeared to be looking at the health effects of prostitutes connected to these toxic effects. A good book that goes into some of this is: "When Smoke Runs Like Water" by Dr. Devra Davis [ISBN 0-465-01521-1]. See excerpts: Here.
Fluorine began being exposed industrially in the 1930s in the Meuse Valley in Belgium from the emissions of aluminum processes, where it is used as a flux and melting point modifier for aluminum smelting. In the US in 1948, fluoride became a huge issue for the town of Donora, Pa. from an air inversion that trapped coal smoke and fluoride vapors from the flux operations of the steel mills there.
In the 40s era Manhattan Project it was a huge problem connected to national security and huge accidents near Buffalo, NY were concealed and problems from DuPont's Peach Bottoms emissions were the start of huge Govt. sponsored cover ups on the damaging effects of fluorine processes. Fluorine was the only element that led to the lowest temperature gaseous form of uranium compounds.
So, the Govt. in working with the Rockefellers and AMA designed medicine around taking note of fluorides damage to human health. This made this faction rich in the process and they attack those that expose this planned oversight and conspiracy of silence.
Fluoride damage to enzymes is dependent on the G-protein mimic effect for TSH, that shuts down the GSH and SOD enzymes. Other effects from mercury and pesticides all act in some fashion on this G-protein channel. Almost 80% of the drugs use some method of action on G-protein channels to correct for the problems that natural pollution and industrial pollution do to these two enzymes.
One can see there formed a Govt. and industry sponsored cover up of the dangers of fluoride that matured into something to make it associated with good for children's teeth. The truth of this deceptive process is that it put a deadly poison within the reach of nearly every child in America. The deadly truth is that there is enough fluoride in one tube of the sweet and flavored toothpaste to kill an adult. Short of doses that kill the fluorides toxic effect robs children of their IQ, robs them of essential trace metals needed to immune health, and leaves them with a lifelong predisposition toward cancers, immune illnesses, and HIV.
When one knows and recognizes the issues of fluorine intake affecting the immune system, then other factors come into view. For example, rodents have long been associated with spreading the "Black Plague" bacteria in Europe. Most of these outbreaks have occurred correlated with major volcanic events. Rodents like to chew on bones to sharpen their teeth and this also puts high levels of fluorine into their diets. These levels tend to rise after volcanic events and this is associated to the immunity being damaged to the extent that the black plague bacteria are not controlled.
Since rodents have naturally been exposed to much higher levels of fluoride in their food chain due to the bone consumption, this effect has also upset the data derived from their use in medical research. Reference 1 below speaks to the finding of rodents by Wake Forest University with drastically different immune responses to cancer than that from all previous lines of mice used in cancer research. The long isolation of mouse lines in captivity and their being fed low fluoride diets have lead to some of them recovering their immune functions. This basically means that all the data collected with mice has been flawed by the generational damage done by fluoride.
Bone meal fluoride is a huge undisclosed problem. It shows up in cattle fed bone meal leading to the issues of "Mad-Cow" or "BSE." It shows up in gardeners that use bone meal on food they consume and who then come down with similar illnesses. And it has shown up in children fed "pablum," which was made from bone meal.
Natural fluoride effects even upset the reproduction of salmon fish, which must migrate into fresh water with less than the 1ppm fluoride in sea water. Various fish hatcheries have been harmed by fluoride levels of only 0.5 ppm in varied industrial cases.
Fluoride compounds taken into the stomach is converted by the stomach acid to hydrofluoric acid, which is highly absorbed into the body and highly retained. It is a cumulative effect. The effect is most pronounced in rodents that consume bones that highly concentrate fluorine from the environment. The effect highly drives cancer resistance. This effect entered the studies on cancer as a weapon against Castro using SV-40 mutations. Details.
DuPont's mess made from fluorine not only made an ecological disaster from the Manhattan Project, it went on to wreck the world and even individual children's young lives. DuPont made the lead for leaded gasoline. DuPont made the fluorine to make the UF-6 used to make the bomb uranium and they made the "Teflon" used to seal the processes and the "Freon" used to remove the heat of compression from the gas diffusion process. The Freon would go on to wreck the global environment due to the Fluorine being so close in mass to air that it lingers and builds in the upper atmosphere. Here it absorbs high levels of IR radiation and contributes to global warming, and also sequesters hydrogen that adds to the UV-b levels from ionization effects and damages the ozone like chlorine.
The DuPont mess does not end there as the stain resistant compounds like "Scotchguard" are tied to Infant Deaths. Infants tend to burp up stomach contents and this gets onto Scotchguard surfaces of baby mattresses. Here the acid liberates the fluoride used in the stain resistant coating and makes HF, which can cause SIDS. Scotchguard has recently been discontinued due to these effects, in the same way that Freon has been discontinued. DuPont's Teflon was even seen to break down in cooking applications and poison and kill household birds.
The Manhattan Project is riddled with fluorine problems. The very first deaths connected with the project came from liquid diffusion experiments hitting some water and causing a huge explosion and HF release that killed several people. The problems never ceased, as in Oak Ridge they killed a worker named Jack Owens who sat on some "Green Salt" at the Y-12 plant that was wet with HF and he died of a heart attack a few days later. HF has a sudden death effect due to skin absorption effects on the heart. Persons like Paducah's Joe Harding cleaned out gas diffusion equipment and received HF exposures by crawling around and getting HF into his tendons around knees, elbows, etc. The fluoride hardened his ligaments and these would flake off and look like fingernails coming through his skin. He eventually died of stomach cancer. GDP operation.
Fluoride even has some more sinister uses, as it was used in Russia and in Germany to pacify prisoners. The infamous "Red Trains" of Russia took undesirables to work camps in Siberia. Here the Jewish operators of these camps administered the fluoride to change resistant attitudes. Ironically, Jewish Communists in Russia banned religions due to some of the problems of state within a state effect that religion caused that challenged the power of Governments. Many of these religious dissidents landed in these Jewish operated Siberian prisons and were given the same methods of treatment that Moses dealt to the Egyptians using the alchemical methods of fluoride.
The people of Russia and Europe have rejected the use of fluoridation because they know of its more sinister properties in taking control of societies. The Russian Jews that banned religions also likely saw through the real alchemical meanings from the veiled messages and parables presented in the Torah. Meanwhile, the communists stood by and watched the problems that wrecked Europe for so long be pilloried against the US and the UK. The toxic methods of fluoride have so lamed the minds of citizens of these countries that they don't even notice the greater plan to take over the country from within, as forecast by Russia's Khrushchev. Fluoride has some very sinister purposes once the Old World religion meanings are unveiled.
Fluorides released from industry causes problems and more sinister uses of fluorides to control people also cause problems. Natural effects are not exempted as even natural effects of fluoride levels are tied to the transmission of HIV and the resultant pandemic. The East African Rift Zone in Africa has the highest levels of HIV cases, and these areas also have the highest levels of fluoride in their food and water. Reference 2 below speaks to the issue of manganese being able to stop HIV reverse transcription replication and transmission in its tracks. This is one of the fluorine-metal complex effects that make for the problems of the HIV pandemic. The use of fluoride here is population control, and the Govt. does know the real issues behind HIV. It fits the Rockefeller depopulation plans and their AMA system of profiting.
The high levels of fluorine in the bone mass of persons in these regions set up the fluoride-aluminum formation leading to interaction with manganese, which renders it unavailable in cells. In the process the immune system cells have low concentration of manganese for viral control enzyme production, which is essential for cells to resist infection with HIV. This is why the immune cells are the hardest hit with HIV infections, they propagate it, and they sequester it in the gut region.
Fluorine combines with aluminum to mimic G-proteins that affect the pituitary TSH receptor sites on cells and lock them from proper performance. The effect is similar to how aluminum based vaccine adjuvants (alum) attempt to lock the memory of dendritic cells to vaccine pathogens. The AlFx compound formed won't clear from cell bonding sites due to the high strength of the fluorine bond to the cell site. AlFx compounds mimic the TSH hormone of the pituitary, but not well. AlFx compounds don't follow the day and night cyclic patterns of natural TSH from the pituitary, and the near permanent bonding effects on TSH receptor sites highly upsets thyroid hormone regulation. It is this effect that keeps the cells of the body from making the needed levels of GSH and from powering down in the night and day cycles of normal TSH.
In the human body the HIV virus tends to remain latent in the immune system cells of the abdomen, which is where the food and water intake would tend to affect the immune system the most due to fluoride retention. Other factors like gay male's seamen also add to the concentration effects of fluorides because it tends to concentrate the fluoride toxics. Add to this that drugs like cocaine also affect the immune system and make HIV more infectious. This is how the gay population was so heavily affected by HIV.
The real issues of natural effects of fluoride and ever more sinister uses for it appear far back in history. Fluoride issues go back to the times of the origin of Alchemy in Egypt and the parable presentations in the Biblical narratives. The Egyptians were into religious rights used at mining temples to gather and purify gold. This was the source of the "black chemistry" called Alchemy. The Egyptians appear to be some of the first to observe that gold could be used as a medicine effect.
They did not know why at the time, only that it aided health. Today, we can see that gold added to the body tends to complex with fluorine and render it less harmful. This later went into how the Jews of Exodus survived the toxic effects of the Mt. Sinai linked volcano chain next to Midian. They added gold to their cooking methods as told by the golden calf story. Even today, the Chinese believe in adding gold flakes to their food and even cooking with a gold coin to achieve these same effect. We can see similar effects on the immune system and the susceptibility to flu by adding increased zinc to ones diet.
Moses was exposed to this mining temple Alchemy science linked to gold for the Egyptian royal courts. When Moses came for his people he used poison methods that were presented in alchemical imagery terms linked to symbols of the snake and the staff as power. Moses took his people to the Mt. Sinai volcano and here they did the mining techniques to extract gold from its deposits. They learned to survive the HF emissions by using the gold techniques. This is the heart of the science of colloid gold and silver, because these nano-fine particles gain entrance into the body and cells and can render the fluoride effect harmless by complexing with the fluorine atoms.
Even when we get up to the times of Jesus we see the Egyptian Alchemy being linked to "Star Metals." The only thing the Egyptians valued more than gold was the "Star Metal," which was basically just low carbon iron from meteorites. It was the steel of the times, and highly valued. It was this substance that the "Three Wise Men" story of Jesus' birth relates. The Jews wanted a new savior and the Wise Men liked the concept and imparted to them the inner secrets of the Alchemy.
Mary, Joseph, and thus Jesus learned the inner meanings of the story of Genesis and the methods of Moses and his volcano Alchemy from their contact with the alchemical wise men. They were also directly exposed to the Egyptian culture in the times of Cleopatra and saw the things that influenced Moses. They could then see through issues of the Jewish Torah in ways that had not been presented by Holy Rabbis of the times. Due to this inspirational epiphany of Mary and Joseph, Jesus became the reformer for the Jews over these inner secrets of the Torah (Torah is the first five chapters of Christian's Bible). Even when we go back to Noah, we find the volcanic effects link to 40 days and nights of rain and the need to sequester food and shelter animals from the poisons of these events.
We can see these similar effects on animals today from volcanic events in Iceland, where the HF is cooled and deposited on the snows that melt and flow into rivers. The cattle and other animals hundreds of miles away from these events are often killed by drinking the HF contaminated water from the rivers. Similar effects are seen around aluminum plants where cows eat contaminated grass and either die or suffer extreme degenerative health effects.
Even the parable on Sodom and Gomorrah is one about the Dead Sea regions rift zone, which due to pressure and volcanic issues released all matter of fluorides into the ground water and wells of the region. What followed were toxic effects on the population there and the story that God or Nature destroyed them as it sank beneath the Dead Sea.
This story is little different than the current problems in Ethiopia, where fluoride levels are extremely high in the water supplies and the rift effects are going to make in inland ocean of a large part of the country due to subsidence of the land.
We can even see the aphrodisiac effects of fluorides from the parables on Sodom and Gomorrah, and the very same effects happen to workers of the Govt.'s nuclear plants in Oak Ridge. These sex drive effects were so bad that all the office and lab windows and door glass had to be removed and replaced with clear glass to limit the private areas for sexual activities. Oak Ridge and other sites that experienced the toxic effects of fluorides experienced a unique visit back in time to the problems seen in the biblical narratives. It is how places like Oak Ridge unlocked the deeper issues of God and Nature from the Bible's stories.
The secrets of religion are directly related to the alchemical science that evolved around the effects of fluorine from the Old World and the stories of the Old Testament. Jesus and the New Testament set forth to challenge the Torah and the Solomon's Temple Jewish Priests or Pharisee who misinterpreted these alchemical images stories. Jesus held the greater sense on what was and was not God. The Old Testament is really the anti-Christ and the New is the Christ, and this is where the ultimate story of understanding the most electronegative element on the planet leads.
The secret of fluorine is a most sinister one that involves its sequestration and build up in the bone marrow where it robs the immune cells there of their essential trace metals that make their enzyme repair processes work. Likewise, the fluorine also builds in the calcium rich tissues of the pineal gland and upsets the levels of melatonin and serotonin in the brain that are essential toward brain cell repair. The effect plays a dominant role in aging and senescence leading up to diseases and death. The AlFx hormone mimic of TSH appears to play a role in these hormones imbalance.
Today, we know that the fluorine's rise in the body sets up the slow impact on melatonin levels that regulate sexual puberty and that the lowering of the age of sexual maturity of children is a direct effect from the rise of fluorine in the environment. We even know the strange aphrodisiac effects seen in workers exposed to fluorine gases of the uranium gas diffusion plant was a direct effect of melatonin antagonism. We also know the like effects on serotonin levels made for a work force that would not question, but do what they were told to the point of self injury from its long term toxic effects.
One can literally steer sexual urges and aggression by controlling metatonin and fluorine levels in the body. If one wants to lower sexual urges one takes melatonin as a supplement and then sleeps better at night and wakes with higher-level brain function in the morning. If one wants to enhance sexual urges then one consumes food and water with more fluorine concentration. The latter effect is happening to the majority of the population due to industry cover-ups and AMA corruption.
We can also see why the alternative health therapies work that involve things as simple as acupuncture, magnets, and minerals like zinc and selenium. Acupuncture uses needles made of the precious metals silver or gold typically. When these are inserted into the body around sites of inflammation and rotated or electrically driven, they give off metal ions into these local tissues. These metals interfere with the formation of the toxic Fluoride-metal compounds and form soluble complexes that remove fluorine from these tissues and the body. Similarly, the magnet therapies tend to collect the ferrous metals in the tissues, which don't form dangerous fluorine compounds and do form compounds that will enhance removal of fluorine from the tissues and body. Similarly, mineral supplements of zinc and selenium do the same. All these are very ancient methods that work, and even Egypt's Cleopatra used the magnet methods in her time.
Those that truly understand the messages of Jesus would have to note that his message is about "Health Care" by prevention and not the "Illness Care" methods of today that have gone wild due to the suppression of toxic effects on the world population. Jesus was an Environmentalist of his times and he spoke against the deceptive war methods of Moses' God using fluoride alchemical chemical warfare. This is the message shown in the icon imagery of Mary standing on the Snake with an apple in its mouth to control the levels of poisons getting into the human food chain. It is the story of putting only good things into the body and treating it as a temple.
The science of fluorine is literally so pontifical that it is the divine gatekeeper between what are the concepts of Heaven and Hell for Humans on this planet. This is how powerful the study of the full issues of fluorine relates. Fluorine gets into the inner circle of the secrets of religion, and the flaws in the interpretations of religion. This is how fluorine comes to play such an instrumental role in the Revelations message of Jesus from the Biblical narratives.
Fluorine effects are directly linked to the great health plagues of cancer and HIV that we see today, as prophesied by Jesus in the Revelation narratives. The major weather effects are directly connected to the global warming effects being generated by fluorine building in the upper atmosphere. The full understanding of the effects of fluorine lead to the life-spans of 1,000 years presented in the Biblical Narratives Genesis. This being the best interpretation for "Eternal Life" and the saving messages from Jesus.
The Manhattan Project has played a pivotal role in the keeping of these huge secrets that have falsely empowered the few and intentionally mislead so many. It is linked to the messages of the End-Times, when false prophets have surrounded us. The Manhattan Project likes to falsely play up that radiation is the cause of the many health problems, but this is only an intentional misleading story salted into the public's mind. The Manhattan Project and religion have long been linked in a mutual act of preservation of huge lies that are harmful to all citizens of this planet.
If the church gives up its inner sanctum secrets liked to these effects or the Manhattan Project scientists tell the real relationships, then both sides go down in a huge implosion. It is indeed a corrupt truth reminiscent of Rapture. The Pharisee and those that followed them have tried to modify these simple origins of Moses' god using much words of spirituality. But the inner core of Moses is one of the natural order of volcanic effects and this has both a warlike vengeful god connotation as well as one of Satan. These cover-ups are the root of all the massive wars the people of this world have been drawn.
The ultimate antithesis is fluoride sets up the ultimate contrast between reasons for communism's ban on religion and those that pillory people with religion for power and control. Lost between the paradigms is the factor of good and the real God. The real dialectics Jesus spoke of are missing. The fact is that in the US, the war on communism used the church. The catharsis that exposes all is the study of fluoride connections to Egypt, the biblical narratives of Moses, and Jesus objections toward these spiritual words that attempted to conceal the real story. It is a story that most of the Jews that know Torah and Talmud know well.
It gets down to a method for the NWO, where the god of Moses is slipped into the bible narratives and not explained well to the Christian masses. It is explained so poorly that most think the god of Moses, the nationalistic human built god of the Jews, and the God of Jesus are one in the same. It is this omission and the conspiracy of silence tied to it, that is part of the Jews thinking their subtle take over methods are acceptable to organized religion in the US and the world. The war on communism has been used by the power seeking methods of the Jews to take economic control of the US.
It is ultimately the evangelical uses of spirituality to embellish these issues in such a way as to confuse and obfuscate them that empowered this sinister oligarchy. It is done because these evangelicals are more interested in loosing a little money from the pocketbooks of their parishioners, more-so than telling the full story of correct spiritually and incorrect conspiracies of silence of the whole story. The real story is the church, as an ultimate weapon against communism and a tool for the Jews conquest, has presented a lie and a conspiracy of silence. The "War on Communism" that joined the Jews and the Christians against Russia also deadlocked the "Second Coming" of Christ issue.
These are the methods of power and control using the false concepts presented by those of religion. This is the story of how science met religion in the Manhattan Project and beyond---and how the real message of Jesus was introduced to most in the US National Security system. Many of the very same interests that covered up the dangers of fluoride were the same players that cover up the reasons JFK was assassinated. It is the strong overlap of fluoride-related issues into Jewish / Torah religion factors and how these influenced the church and the war on Communism that played the essential role in the death of JFK. Details. This is why Oak Ridge's Y-12 plant played a preeminent role in the assassination of JFK by networking with Jacob Rubenstein, AKA Jack Ruby.
The war against communism is a no win when the best defenses are based upon a lie, and likewise a democracy built upon the false concepts of religion is doomed to be taken from within, a people exploited. Likewise, the church cannot be called a Church based in Christ, unless these truths become known. The Church has become a part of the Conspiracy of Silence that leads the flock astray. The only way to proceed now is all the facts on the table, the end of the secrecy, and return to the concepts of equality to all the people.
I hope that each of you have enjoyed these insights into the inner secrets of the Manhattan Project and the health effects of fluorides. May these secrets unleashed here set all free to enter a kinder and gentler time. One can see how fluorine is the Bane of man's existence on Earth, but it is also the axis of knowledge that leads everyone toward and better understanding of man, nature, and God.
THE PRINCIPLE DAMAGE FACTORS FOR FLUORIDE:
1. Fluoride seeks bone and there upsets the beneficial trace metals in the immune system cells formed there. Fluoride is an enzyme poison and reduces the enzyme glutathione based on selenium that clears toxic metals from the body. [Ref 4] Rising levels of fluoride induce toxic metal poisoning and excessive free radical damage to cells from mitochondrial malfunction. It is the prime cause for the HIV pandemic worldwide via manganese availability reduction in cells. Fluoride is the same bone marrow and immune cell health damage effect that Sr-90 presented from nuclear testing due to damage to the RNase L enzyme process that controls viral infections of cells.
2. Fluoride rising in the environment with toxic trace metals like aluminum form AlFx protein that damage G-protein signal systems for TSH, leading to GSH depletion damage of the immune cells in the lymph nodes, cells in other organs and tissues. Fluoride-aluminum complexes shut down the ability of the cells to produce GSH and SOD, particularly in the lymph system's control for varied pathogens in the cells. This is a prime effect for CFS, Cancers, and AIDs.
3. Fluoride is antagonistic toward the generation of melatonin and serotonin in the body and this effect causes the lowering of the age of puberty in children and the rising need for drugs like SSRIs to attempt to control rising problems with sexual promiscuity, rage, and violence.
4. Fluoride upsets the thyroid hormones from both the liver and thyroid process and causes problems associated with rise in obesity to ability to do daily duties.
5. Fluoride levels in the bone literally set the entire progression of human and animal life in this planet. The rise of fluorine in the body determines puberty and decline of learning abilities via melatonin / serotonine effects. The rise of cumulative fluorine determines immune system viability leading to illness and disease over time and literally death. Bone concentrations of fluorine exactly track these developmental phases of humans and even sets up their life-span and death.
6. Fluoride and fluorine are some of the veiled effects spoken about in biblical narratives and the exploitation of this secret of fluorine is used by various political and religion factions to take control of countries like the US.

Lucky discovery uncovers cancer-proof mouse By Shaoni Bhattacharya
A cancer-proof mouse, which can survive being injected with any number of cancer cells, has been discovered by US scientists. The discovery of the resistant mouse could pave the way for future gene or drug therapies if the mechanism by which it fights cancer can be understood
Researchers at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine in North Carolina have now bred a colony of 700 cancer-proof mice from the resistant male they stumbled across while doing other experiments.
Doctors have known for many years that in rare cases, cancers can mysteriously clear up of their own accord. But this is the first time such cancer-killing ability has been shown to be genetic.
"The power of this resistance seems to be unlimited," said biochemist Zheng Cui, the study leader. "You can give them many, many tumour cells and the mice get rid of them."
"This is at a preliminary stage, but very promising," adds pathologist Mark Willingham, another member of the team. "Our hope is that, some day, this will have an impact on human cancer."
Seven generations
The scientists discovered the original cancer-proof mouse by luck during experiments in which mice were injected with soft tissue cancers, called sarcomas. Despite repeated injections, one mouse did not develop cancer. When this mouse bred with a normal mouse, some of their offspring were resistant. And these resistant mice were also able to confer resistance, for at least seven generations. "The resistance appears to be caused by just one gene, or a cluster of closely related genes," Cui told New Scientist.
The cancer-killing ability of the mice was unusually consistent with different types of cancer. "What's surprising is it appears these mice are able to recognise something in common to all cancer cell lines," said Cui. "Usually it's difficult to find a common theme."
Willingham told New Scientist that the cancer cells are killed by the mice in a "somewhat novel" way. The body's usual first line of defence against invaders - white blood cells called T-cells - were not employed. Instead the body's innate immune system, consisting of cells like neutrophils and macrophages, attacked the tumour cells and ruptured them.
Previous mice bred so that their immune systems could beat cancer went on the develop autoimmune diseases, but that did not happen with these mice. One significant puzzle that remains is how the mice detect the cancer cells in the first place. Cui speculates that some kind of diffusible factor from the tumour may betray the deadly cells.
Paul Ko Ferrigno, a cancer biologist at the MRC's cancer cell research unit in Cambridge, UK, calls the findings "very tantalising". "I'm intrigued and excited. If they can pin down what the immune basis for resistance to cancer is it should be straightforward to train a patient's immune system to do the same," he told New Scientist. Although they are preliminary, the study's findings have "huge potential", he says.
The top priority now, says Willingham, is to identify the mouse gene responsible for the resistance. "Because of the Human Genome Project, we could then look for a correlate gene in humans," he said.

Manganese blocks HIV replication; Lab finding points to potential new class of HIV treatments
Johns Hopkins scientists have found that simply increasing manganese in cells can halt HIV's unusual ability to process its genetic information backwards, providing a new way to target the process's key driver, an enzyme called reverse transcriptase.
By measuring DNA produced by a related reverse transcriptase in yeast, the Hopkins team discovered that higher than normal levels of manganese, caused by a defective gene, dramatically lowered the enzyme's activity. The scientists then proved that HIV's reverse transcriptase responds to manganese in the same way. Hopkins graduate student Eric Bolton determined that the defective gene is PMR1, whose protein carries both manganese and calcium out of cells. Using special yeast developed by others at Hopkins, he discovered that manganese stops reverse transcriptase, the team reports in the April 26 issue of Molecular Cell.
"These results really point to a never-before-proposed way to try to stop HIV in its tracks -- that simply manipulating concentrations of a metal, manganese, can have a profound effect on reverse transcriptase," says Jef Boeke, Ph.D., professor of molecular biology and genetics at the school's Institute for Basic Biomedical Sciences. "We expect the human equivalent of PMR1 could be a good target for developing new drugs against HIV."
Retroviruses like HIV use reverse transcriptase to make copies of their DNA from RNA, the opposite of how genetic information is usually processed in cells. Each retrovirus has a distinct version of the enzyme, identical in function but different in form and sequence, says Boeke, also a professor of oncology.
The scientists found that each reverse transcriptase they studied has at least two places where manganese and the similar metal magnesium can "dock." Having these spots filled with the right metal is crucial for the enzyme's activity -- its ability to read a particular set of RNA, the scientists learned. When the metals' balance is out of whack, the enzyme doesn't work properly, they report.
"Most reverse transcriptases we studied prefer to bind magnesium. At the very least they were more active when magnesium was bound to them," says Boeke. "But a little extra manganese changes the activity of the enzyme."
Normally, charged magnesium ions outnumber those of manganese by the thousands inside cells. Having just three times more manganese than normal can cut the activity of HIV's reverse transcriptase in half, the scientists report, even though there's still much more magnesium.
HIV's ability to adapt and overcome drugs means that current treatments like AZT, which target reverse transcriptase directly, generally stop working over time. Using a combination of drugs helps block the virus on many fronts, but finding new drugs or a new class of drugs is needed to help keep the virus at bay. The new work suggests that targeting a cell's manganese transporter could be an effective way to stop HIV from replicating, without targeting HIV's reverse transcriptase directly.
"We've been working under the idea that studying reverse transcriptase in yeast may help improve understanding of retroviruses and lead to new ways to deal with HIV," says Boeke. "By studying yeast genetics we made an important discovery about how HIV works and have identified a target for a new class of anti-retroviral drug. It was completely unexpected, but very satisfying."
The yeast that were missing PMR1 appeared fine, suggesting that targeting the manganese transporter in humans may be relatively safe, the scientists suggest. It's not known whether targeting manganese levels will have a therapeutic benefit, but the mantra of HIV treatment is to reduce the number of copies of the virus.
The studies were funded by the National Institutes of Health. Albert Mildvan, M.D., professor of biological chemistry, is also an author of the report.

Summary Aluminofluoride complexes (AlFx) have been widely used in laboratory investigations for stimulation of various guanine nucleotide-binding proteins. These complexes are able to simulate phosphate groups in many biochemical reactions. They are formed in water solutions containing fluoride and traces of aluminum. Reflecting on many studies, which utilize AlFx in laboratory investigations, a new view of fluoride and aluminum toxicity can be suggested. Moreover, many ecological studies bring evidence about the detrimental effects of fluoride and aluminum ions in humans. The hidden danger of their long-term action is not fully recognized at this point.
Introduction Transfer of phosphate groups is the basic mechanism in the regulation of the activity of numerous enzymes, energy metabolism, cell signaling, and regulation of cell growth. Phosphate is an important component of phospholipids in the cell membranes. In view of the ubiquity of phosphate in cell metabolism, a phosphoryl transfer transition state analog might represent a useful tool for laboratory investigations, but also a strong potential danger for living organisms including humans. Such compound has been already found, described, and opted for molecule of the month March 1997 1,2,3. Moreover, the new phosphate analog has been used in experimental work in numerous laboratories.
Scientists need not buy this powerful compound through any catalog or drug store. Fluoride anions, generally introduced as NaF solutions, have long been known to influence the activity of various enzymes and the GTP binding proteins (G proteins). These proteins are part of a three-component transmembrane signaling system that serve as intermediaries carrying signals from numerous receptors to the cell interior. It has been later demonstrated that the effects primarily attributed to fluoride are caused by aluminofluoride complexes (AlFx) because experiments were performed in the presence of trace amounts of aluminum. This fact had at first been ignored because aluminum is a normal component of glass from which it is etched by a solution with fluoride 4.
However, the exact structure of the activatory complexes able to simulate PO43- group in many biochemical reactions, were disputed. AlFx (where x = 1-6) forms in aqueous solutions of fluoride and aluminum. The different coordination numbers of aluminum originate mainly from the difference of pH 3, 5. The bound AlFx occurs as AlF3 at pH 8.5 but as AlF4 at pH 4.5.
AlFx - phosphoryl transfer transition state analog Analogies between a phosphate group and aluminofluoride complexes consist in atomic and molecular similarities.
The fluorine atom has the same size and the same valence orbitals as oxygen. Of course, fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen and has greater capacity for forming hydrogen bonds. Aluminum is close to phosphorus, their valence electrons are in the same shell. An Al-F bond is the same length as a P-O bond in phosphate, i.e.1.5 to1.6 Å. Like phosphorus, aluminum has possible coordination numbers of 1 - 6, due to the possible hybridization of its outer shell 3p electrons with the 3d orbitals. AlFx are not permanent, equilibria exist between the various possible complexes, depend on the excess concentration of free F- ions and on the pH of the solution 1, 3, 5.
These complexes can bind to proteins by hydrogen bonds to the fluorine atoms just as to oxygen atoms of a phosphate ion. So can arise an aluminofluoride analog of pyrophosphate, R-O-PO2-O-AlF3, which may be bound at the site for the (-phosphate. Thus, for instance, in a GTP-binding protein whose nucleotide site already contains a GDP, an aluminofluoride complex can form hydrogen bonds with the donor groups of the (-phosphate site and bind ionically to the terminal oxygen of the (-phosphate of the GDP. Enzyme-bound ADP or GDP could therefore form a complex with the AlFx that imitated ATP or GTP.
However, an important functional difference between a phosphate group and the structurally analogous AlFx complexes exists 1,6. In phosphate, oxygen is covalently bound to the phosphorus and does not exchange with oxygen from solvent. In AlFx, ionic bonds are formed between the electropositive aluminum and the highly electronegative fluorine. While the reaction of a bound phosphate compound with orthophosphate is endergonic and slow, the corresponding reaction with AlFx is rapid and spontaneous. AlFx bind ionically to the terminal oxygen of GDP (-phosphate. Enzyme-bound GDP or ADP could therefore form a complex with AlFx that imitates ATP or GTP in its effect on protein conformation. This effect often causes a structural change that locks the site and prevents the dissociation of the trisphosphate.
AlFx in laboratory studies Low cost and availability of these fluorometallic complexes contributed probably to the fact that their use as a useful tool in laboratory studies of G proteins widely spread 1,7. The heterotrimeric G proteins mediate the transfer of information from receptor to effector molecules. These studies brought a great deal of knowledge about the involvement of G proteins in cell signaling. Numerous papers bring evidence that AlFx influence various functions and biochemical reactions of all cells and tissues of the animal or human organisms with powerful pharmacological efficacy. Fluoride in the presence of trace amounts of aluminum affects all blood elements, endothelial cells and blood circulation, the function of lymphocytes and cells of the immune system, bone cells, fibroblasts and keratinocytes, ion transport, calcium influx and mobilization, processes of neurotransmission, growth and differentiation of cells, protein phosphorylation, and cytoskeletal proteins 7. It is not surprising in respect to the role of G proteins in signal transduction.
Physiological agonists of G protein-coupled receptors include neurotransmitters and hormones, such as dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, serotonin, acetylcholine, glucagon, vasopressin, melatonin, TSH, neuropeptides, opioids, excitatory amino acids, prostanoids, purines, photons and odorants 8.
It has been demonstrated that AlFx may clone or potentiate the action of numerous extracellular signals. The principle of amplification of the initial signal during its conversion into the functional response has been a widely accepted tenet in cell physiology. AlFx therefore affects the levels of second messenger molecules, including c AMP, phosphoinositide signaling system, and cytosolic calcium homeostasis. Biological signaling pathways interact with one another to form complex networks 9.
The discoveries of receptor diversity, numerous G proteins, and phospholipase C families, broadens enormously the possibilities of interactions of signal transduction events. The question as to how cells manage to make the right responses at the right times is still disputed. The phosphate-analog models of AlFx action have been accepted for G-proteins but may be extended to all enzymes that bind phosphate or nucleoside-polyphosphate. AlFx mimicks a phosphoryl group being transferred. Phosphoryl transfer reactions are involved in processes such as energy transduction, regulation of cell growth, activation of metabolites, and cytoskeletal proteins assembly.
Evidence about the action of AlFx in humans The interpretation of laboratory investigations using isolated animal and human cells or tissues on the intact human organism could be discussed. Nevertheless, many ecological and clinical studies bring evidence about the detrimental effects of synergistic action of fluoride and aluminum ions in humans.
Most of the ill effects caused by fluoride were first recognized among workers in aluminum factories, where fluoride and aluminum are present in high concentrations. The levels of fluoride in serum, urine, and hair of these workers are higher than in the control subjects 10.
Osteoarthritis and related disorders in such workers have been reported since the 1930 s 11. Observation of industrial fluorosis (osteosclerosis) led to the use of fluoride as a treatment to increase bone mass in osteoporosis patients. Psychiatric disturbances were also reported in aluminum smelter workers 12 - 14. The study of persons living near an enamel factory reports a distinct decline in mental activity, poorer memory, inability to coordinate thoughts and reduced ability to write. Those living further away from the factory were less affected and had lower urinary fluoride content (14). Chronic effects of fluorides on the pituitary-thyroid gland system in industrial workers engaged in fluorine production showed also moderate functional changes 15.
Fluoride intoxication with multiple nonspecific symptoms has been observed in chronic hemodialysis patients 16. In some regions, the water used for the dialysate also contained a lot of aluminum. Some patients used aluminum-containing medications. Moreover, patients with renal failure cannot remove aluminum from the blood. Elevated aluminum levels have been also implicated as the cause of dialysis encephalopathy or dementia 17. Dialysis dementia can arise after three to seven years of hemodialysis treatment. Speech disorders precede dementia and convulsions.
Fluoride has been used in the prevention of tooth decay for over 50 years. While official medicine is convinced that the epidemiological evidence that fluoride protects against dental caries is overwhelming 18 many studies reporting and evaluating the risks and adverse effects of fluoride on human organism were published during the same period 19 - 21. Some of them demonstrate the positive correlation between the higher intake of fluoride and osteoarthritis, changes in bone structure, and various non- specific symptoms. Reduction of children intelligence 22, 23, various psychiatric symptoms in adults, such as memory impairment, and difficulties with concentration and thinking were reported 19 - 21. Elevated fluoride content was found in embryonic brain tissues obtained from required abortions in areas where fluorosis was prevalent. These studies showed poor differentiation of brain nerve cells and delayed brain development 24.
Understanding the role of phosphate and G proteins in cell signaling allows to accept the fact that fluoride in the environment, water, and food chains followed by aluminum, can evoke various and multiple pathological symptoms 19, 25. The endocrine glands such as the parathyroid gland, the thyroid, the pituitary gland, and the pineal gland, are extremely sensitive to fluoride (25, 26). Of particular importance relating to G protein activation is the ability of fluorides to clone the role of thyroid-stimulating-hormone (TSH). Fluoride is used in laboratory animals specifically to substitute for TSH. The synergistic action of thyroid on fluoride toxicity has been reported since 1940. Fluorides effects on thyroid hormone synthesis can be observed on many different levels. There is a direct dose-response relationship with iodine: the higher the fluoride intake - the lower the iodine in the system. The major areas of iodine deficiency are identical to endemic fluorosis areas. The comparison of fluoride toxicity symptoms and symptoms of thyroid disorders has been reviewed 25. The functional changes of the hypophysis-thyroid gland system caused by disorders of the regulatory chain and fluorine impact on thyroid hormones metabolism at the level of target cells were reported 15. Moreover, the melatonin concentrations were positively correlated with TSH levels in hypothyroidism, and negatively correlated with T3 in hyperthyroidism 27. Regarding the crucial role of the thyroid in regulation of growth, development, and metabolism of many tissues, AlFx might influence the proper function of the entire human body.
Chronic exposure of humans to AlFx begins in the foetus 21, 24. Every minute at least one child is dying due to excess fluoride exposure dressed up as iodine deficiency. High fluoride exposure appears to weaken mental function among children, as well as adults. In respect to the etiology of Alzheimer s disease, the long term action of AlFx also represents a serious and powerful risk factor for the development of this new threat of human civilization epidemy (28). AlFx may affect all pathological hallmarks of this disease: processes of neurotransmission, ( amyloid generation, plaque formation, metabolism of apolipoprotein E, protein tau phosphorylation, cytoskeletal protein organization, transport of ions, energy metabolism, and calcium homeostasis 29,30. In light of the published findings, the AlFx s harm to intelligence would not be neglected by responsible scientists and physicians. AlFx represent serious hidden danger for homeostasis, metabolism, growth, and differentiation of the living organism including humans.
Fluoride and aluminum in ecosystems Aluminum, the metal of the earth's lithosphere, is everywhere: in water sources, in nourishment, in different food additives and also in air in the form of dust particles. Aluminum is present in all living organisms including human 31. It has, until relatively recently, existed in forms not generally available to living organisms, and was therefore regarded as non-toxic. With the appearance of acid rains and the use of aluminum in industry, there has been a dramatic increase in the amount of uncomplexed aluminum in ecosystems. The water supply industry uses aluminum salts to produce a less turbid drinking water. In the UK, concentrations of between 0.01 and 3.5 mg/l have been found in potable waters 32. Toxic effects of increased aluminum concentration have already been observed in some animal and plant species living in lakes with aluminum concentrations of between 0.1 and 0. 8 mg/l 31.
Fluoride comes from fluoridated water, from crops grown with fluoridated water, from medicines, dental products, pesticides, fertilizers, fuels. About 143, 000 tons are pumped yearly into drinking water supplies in the U.S.A. 500, 000 tons a year goes into fresh waters and the sea, 155, 000 tons of fluoride are released annually into America s air 21. Industrial fertilizers and pesticides increase the amount of this element in agricultural products and food sources 21, 33. Several studies reported a high content of fluoride and aluminum in all tested Chinese, Indian and herbal teas (34). A cup of green tea can contain up to 22 mg of fluoride, as much as 22 l of fluoridated water, a cup of black tea 17.25 mg. Tea is the second most-consumed beverage after water in the world. That the aluminum present in tea is indeed resorbed in the simultaneous presence of fluoride was demonstrated in healthy male volunteers after drinking equal volumes (1.2 l) of tea, coffee or tap water on separate days. In every case the amount of the urinary excreted aluminum increased on the day when tea was taken. The results indicated that tea consumption must be considered in any assessment of the total dietary intake of aluminum in human beings 35.
Reports of fluorosis popped up in the 1970's when phosphate fertilizer plants dramatically increased production. For more than one hundred years, Florida has been a major producer of superphosphate fertilizer. Residents have complained at different times of difficulty in breathing, sore throats, and various nonspecific health problems due to excessive emissions from phosphate fertilizer plants. Spills from toxic waste water ponds dump hundreds of millions of gallons of highly acidic water laced with toxic fluorides, into rivers and streams. People living near phosphate fertilizer plants are twice as likely to develop lung cancer and osteoblastic leukemia 36.
No one can predict what happens in the human body after a truly chronic exposure to an increased content of fluoride and aluminum in body fluids and in various tissues. The severity and the development of the symptoms depend on a person s age, genetic background, nutrition status, kidney function, and many other factors. The natural barrier systems for aluminum such as low absorption in the gastro-intestinal tract, and various physiological ligands, such as citrate, phosphate, and silicic acid, were efficient buffers preventing the increased intake of this metal in natural conditions. The population is now exposed to soluble aluminum, which is more bioavailable. The presence of fluoride caused more aluminum to cross the blood-brain barrier and be deposited in the brain of rat 37. This study compared behavior, body weight, plasma, and brain fluoride levels after NaF exposures during late gestation, at weaning or in adults. Rats exposed as adults displayed behavior-specific changes typical of cognitive deficits, whereas rats exposed prenatally had dispersed behaviors typical of hyperactivity. Aluminum-induced neural degeneration in rats is greatly enhanced when the animals were fed low doses of fluoride 38.
Conclusions The discovery of AlFx as a new class of phosphate analog brought numerous demonstrations of their powerful pharmacological efficacy. It is not surprising in respect to the role of G proteins in signal transduction. G proteins take part in an enormous variety of biological signaling systems, helping control almost all important life processes 39. It might seem difficult to decide if numerous laboratory experiments demonstrate a potential toxicological risk of fluoride and aluminum for the human population. The origins of many human diseases are in the functioning (and malfunctioning) of signaling components 9. Pharmacologists estimate that up to 60% of all medicines used today exert their effects through G protein signaling pathways (39). However, it is evident that AlFx is a molecule giving the false information amplified by processes of signal transmission.
The understanding of mechanism of action of these fluorometallic complexes could allow us to explain numerous observations about the effects of increased amount of fluoride and aluminum in the environment, drinks, and food. Fluoridation of public water treated with aluminum salts together with the wide use of fluoride and aluminum in medicine, industry, and agriculture, started the era of supplementation of human bodies with these ions as never before in the history of human race. Science has already accumulated evidence about their detrimental effects on the living organism. It seems that scientists still need more significant data to be sure about the causal relationship between the action of AlFx and disturbances of human health. However, numerous published reports bring us at least strong warning.
Chronic exposure of humans to AlFx begins during the first trimester in the womb. It is evident that children are at highest risk. It therefore follows that the sources of fluoride available to children must get addressed first, prioritizing on sources with highest content. For many this is not only water. For some it is fluoride in formula and prepared cereals, for others it is exposure to coal smoke during cooking. For others yet it is close vicinity to power plants with high fluoride emissions, or exposure to other fluoride-emitting industries. Then there are fruit juices and iced tea products, the first beverages introduced to toddlers, as well as toothpaste and other dental products. Vaccines, allergy skin tests, 25% human serum albumin, baby skin creams, baby diaper wipes, and antacids, which are frequently given to infants, are extremely high in aluminum. For adults, the accumulation continues from suntan lotion, cookware, aluminum cans and skin moisturizers. Such items as deodorants, vaginal douches and baby wipe not only have high aluminum content, but are applied to areas wherethere is far greater tendency to absorption through the skin.
The increasing content of fluorides and aluminum in food chains has raised the possibility that the near future will supply us with much more data about the danger of AlFx for humans, if it has not already done so. How long shall we wait to obtain evidence about the destructive actions of AlFx on the human race? How many subjects including ourselves, our children and our friends, shall we need for an overwhelming study?

SUMMARY: Eight-week old male Wistar rats weighing 180 g were given sodium fluoride in drinking water at a concentration of 5 and 25 mg F-/L for 12 weeks. Control animals received tap water containing 0.3 mg F-/L. The activity of glutathione peroxidase and the concentration of malondialdehye (MDA) were determined in kidney, liver, brain, testis, and blood or plasma. In exposed animals the activity of glutathione peroxidase decreased significantly, and the concentration of MDA increased in a dose and exposure-time dependent manner. The results of this study confirm other reports that fluoride induces free radical toxicity in animals.

By: Jim Phelps Copyright 2004, 2005
This monologue is presented to orient persons, using plain language and lots of simple references, to the problems associated with fluorine and fluoride chemicals.
If I were to name one element or one element or chemical compound that would represent the "Bane of Mans existence on Earth" it would be fluorine or fluoride. Fluorine has caused huge problems for man since the beginning of time due to volcanic effects on Earth. Fluorine or Hydrogen Fluoride released from volcanic events or even meteor terminal events is the principle effect for extinction events on this planet.
The real story of fluorides in industry reads like the PBS-TV documentary called "Trade Secrets" by Bill Moyers on the chemical called vinyl chloride or the book called "Silent Spring" about rising chemical pesticides problems by Rachael Carson. The risks from fluoride chemicals are a thousand times worse than what was presented by these two reports on health risks. Fluoride was seen as a necessary evil for the production of metals, coal energy, and uranium for nuclear weapons. Our own US Government covered up the dangers of fluoride concentrations rising in the environment.
Rising levels of fluoride are directly connected to disruption of enzymes necessary for cell repair (glutathione particularly) and removal of toxic metals from the human body. The effect results in the rise of lead, mercury and other toxic metals in children that impair their IQ and long term health. In the elderly is hastens the onset of gray hair because it is linked to mercury concentrations in the body. It also adds to brittle bone problems, dementia from toxic metals effects on the brain, and quite literally onset for immune illnesses and death. Fluoride is not a friend to children's teeth, but a deadly cumulative poison where 98 percent of the fluoride ingested goes right to the bone of children to disrupt their health in much the same way that Sr-90 from nuclear testing was feared to cause cancer in children.
This report will take a look at the information that sheds the greater light of truth on the dangers of fluoride and what it is doing to the general welfare of the US citizens. We shall take a look at prominent books on the topic, at the latest peer reviewed research articles, and how the Manhattan Project's knowledge has been suppressed as well as other industry induced harms to the public's risk factors due to fluoride releases to the environment.
Fluoride in the body rises constantly with age and there is even one excellent book named for this effect: "Fluoride The Aging Factor" by Dr. John Yiamouyiannis [ISBN 0-913571-03-2]. Fluoride increases in the bones with age and all the effects of aging leading to immune system dysfunction and death track the retention of fluoride in the human body. Yianouyiannis and others have picked up on this effect. See excerpts of his book: Click Here and Here.
The industrial age has brought on a huge rise in the levels of fluoride in the air, water, and food supplies. Persons like the German doctor George Waldbott were some of the first to begin to point out the problems of fluoride. One of his books even presents the issue as the Dilemma: "Fluoride The Great Dilemma" by George Waldbott, MD [ISBN 0-87291-097-0] with foreword by Alton Ochsner, MD. Waldbott has this book foreword'd by one of the lead persons on the kill Castro with Cancer methods using SV-40 effects with a trigger method using radiation or fluoride. See book excerpts: Waldbott Book.
One of the most interesting books on fluoride is self published by Dr. Geoffrey Smith and called "The Fluoride Conspiracy and the Secret War." It is only available in Australia these days. Smith points out that a vaccine could have managed tooth decay. If one looks into the root of the problem with cavities, all the evidence points to refined sugar. Refined sugar is an immune system poison and strongly hinders the macrophages and other immune cells from cleaning and killing the bacteria on the teeth. This effect shows up strongly when one looks at India, where this people's culture does not use the refined sugar, and their teeth are all near perfect. Exceptions being in areas of India where the fluoride levels are high and then teeth are broken and have ugly coloration. One more reason the governments pushed for fluoride to control cavities was to support the huge sugar industry dominance in the US. Monetary interests to promote sugar and promote emissions of fluoride from aluminum, steel, uranium and other toxic release industries dictated fluoride. Whereas common sense and the natural order of immune processes would say fluoridation is based on insane logic. The use of toxic fluoride plays a role in killing the human immune system.
More recent books speak to the huge cover up of industry and the US Govt. on the issues of fluoride connected to the nuclear bomb and strategic metals processing, see: "The Fluoride Deception" by Christopher Bryson [ISBN 1-58322-526-9]. Book Review. The health damages due to fluoride releases of these operations were so destructive that the Govt. with industry partners [DuPont, ALCOA, Rockefellers, Kettering Labs of Cincinnati, Oh.] decided to conceal the effects from the public. Kettering Labs is located where the occupation illness center in the US is located and Kettering is funded by the polluters and most all their files on fluoride research are kept locked away from the public. This has lead to extreme levels of abuse toward citizens and their health in the name of attempting to defeat communism. See: Kettering History.
Fluoride (cryolite dust--aluminum-fluoride compound) has been used as a pesticide for centuries and when one looks for the method of which it kills bugs, one quickly discovers the mechanism involves the upsetting of trace metal metabolism within cells. In insecticide uses, higher concentrations are applied, but when these same poisons enter the human food chain these same effects happen, only more slowly. Every human on the face of planet Earth is affected by this fluoride effect, some more than others depending on geographic, food consumption, industry, and water pollution. Fluoride is cumulative from even the subtlest levels taken in by human consumption.
The key to understanding the most damaging effect of fluoride is to know about these trace metal upsets that control enzyme repairs and other processes within cells. Upsets in these trace metals occur due to the fact that fluorine is the most electronegative element and when present within the body will seize onto trace metals spontaneously. This effect keeps these trace metals from being able to do their essential jobs within the body and cells. This effect leads to rise in cell damages, higher levels of oxidation like damage to DNA, rises in the cytokine levels, loss of immune system tolerance in detection and elimination of varied pathogens, etc.
The problems associated with fluoride doesn't stop with the metals-complex issues, as fluoride damages the thyroid hormone due to iodine like valence effects, it damages the pineal gland and the melatonin / serotonin hormones, it contributes to arterial plaque, it upsets many of the immune cells like macrophage energy, it associates to heart attacks, kidney damage, and etc. If there were one element that were to be associated with the "God of the Underground," Death, and Hell; it would be fluorine.
Rising fluorine toxic effects set up the need for the SSRI class of drugs used to combat the damage to the pineal gland and the reduction of serotonin hormone levels. These serotonin levels are essential for the brain's immune repair function and higher performance cognitive processing skills. It is this connection for why fluorine was used in German and Russian prisons to keep their inmates dumbed down and not resistant to authority. It is a sort of mind control vector by allowing mental dysfunction. Today, the industrial based politics of the US apply this same sinister control upon the US citizens themselves, taking the public hostage in their control schemes.
Fluoride effects are directly related to loss of IQ in children and the dumbing down of the population that makes them easier to lead. Fluoride effects linked to aluminum are linked to the passage of aluminum across the blood-brain-barrier that is linked with Alzheimer's effects. Fluorides complex with aluminum to form G-protein like substances that are able to permanently upset cell bonding sites and shut down GSH and SOD enzymes. Fluorides increase the retention of toxic metals in the body and lower the retention of the beneficial trace metals, and this is a death keel to essential enzyme processes.
The mechanism for the toxic metals rise in the body due to fluorides is due to damage to the selenium based glutathione enzyme that clears toxic metals from the body. Fluorides rising in the body shuts down the enzyme glutathione and others and cause a rise in the toxic metals like lead, mercury and others in the body. In children, the effect causes loss of IQ and cognitive processing abilities. In older persons it is directly connected to the process of gray hair because rising mercury toxicity on the hair follicles induces it. And directly linked to dimentia and Alzheimers because the glutathione can no longer clear out aluminum and other toxic metals and keep them from the brain.
Fluorine was a large factor in the health problems in London due to the "London Fogs" that stemmed from the burning of high fluoride "Sea Coal." These emissions produced fogs so thick they were called "Pea Soup" and persons had to lead carriages around the streets in broad daylight with lanterns. It is this same area that spawned the problems connected to "Jack the Ripper," who appeared to be looking at the health effects of prostitutes connected to these toxic effects. A good book that goes into some of this is: "When Smoke Runs Like Water" by Dr. Devra Davis [ISBN 0-465-01521-1]. See excerpts: Here.
Fluorine began being exposed industrially in the 1930s in the Meuse Valley in Belgium from the emissions of aluminum processes, where it is used as a flux and melting point modifier for aluminum smelting. In the US in 1948, fluoride became a huge issue for the town of Donora, Pa. from an air inversion that trapped coal smoke and fluoride vapors from the flux operations of the steel mills there.
In the 40s era Manhattan Project it was a huge problem connected to national security and huge accidents near Buffalo, NY were concealed and problems from DuPont's Peach Bottoms emissions were the start of huge Govt. sponsored cover ups on the damaging effects of fluorine processes. Fluorine was the only element that led to the lowest temperature gaseous form of uranium compounds.
So, the Govt. in working with the Rockefellers and AMA designed medicine around taking note of fluorides damage to human health. This made this faction rich in the process and they attack those that expose this planned oversight and conspiracy of silence.
Fluoride damage to enzymes is dependent on the G-protein mimic effect for TSH, that shuts down the GSH and SOD enzymes. Other effects from mercury and pesticides all act in some fashion on this G-protein channel. Almost 80% of the drugs use some method of action on G-protein channels to correct for the problems that natural pollution and industrial pollution do to these two enzymes.
One can see there formed a Govt. and industry sponsored cover up of the dangers of fluoride that matured into something to make it associated with good for children's teeth. The truth of this deceptive process is that it put a deadly poison within the reach of nearly every child in America. The deadly truth is that there is enough fluoride in one tube of the sweet and flavored toothpaste to kill an adult. Short of doses that kill the fluorides toxic effect robs children of their IQ, robs them of essential trace metals needed to immune health, and leaves them with a lifelong predisposition toward cancers, immune illnesses, and HIV.
When one knows and recognizes the issues of fluorine intake affecting the immune system, then other factors come into view. For example, rodents have long been associated with spreading the "Black Plague" bacteria in Europe. Most of these outbreaks have occurred correlated with major volcanic events. Rodents like to chew on bones to sharpen their teeth and this also puts high levels of fluorine into their diets. These levels tend to rise after volcanic events and this is associated to the immunity being damaged to the extent that the black plague bacteria are not controlled.
Since rodents have naturally been exposed to much higher levels of fluoride in their food chain due to the bone consumption, this effect has also upset the data derived from their use in medical research. Reference 1 below speaks to the finding of rodents by Wake Forest University with drastically different immune responses to cancer than that from all previous lines of mice used in cancer research. The long isolation of mouse lines in captivity and their being fed low fluoride diets have lead to some of them recovering their immune functions. This basically means that all the data collected with mice has been flawed by the generational damage done by fluoride.
Bone meal fluoride is a huge undisclosed problem. It shows up in cattle fed bone meal leading to the issues of "Mad-Cow" or "BSE." It shows up in gardeners that use bone meal on food they consume and who then come down with similar illnesses. And it has shown up in children fed "pablum," which was made from bone meal.
Natural fluoride effects even upset the reproduction of salmon fish, which must migrate into fresh water with less than the 1ppm fluoride in sea water. Various fish hatcheries have been harmed by fluoride levels of only 0.5 ppm in varied industrial cases.
Fluoride compounds taken into the stomach is converted by the stomach acid to hydrofluoric acid, which is highly absorbed into the body and highly retained. It is a cumulative effect. The effect is most pronounced in rodents that consume bones that highly concentrate fluorine from the environment. The effect highly drives cancer resistance. This effect entered the studies on cancer as a weapon against Castro using SV-40 mutations. Details.
DuPont's mess made from fluorine not only made an ecological disaster from the Manhattan Project, it went on to wreck the world and even individual children's young lives. DuPont made the lead for leaded gasoline. DuPont made the fluorine to make the UF-6 used to make the bomb uranium and they made the "Teflon" used to seal the processes and the "Freon" used to remove the heat of compression from the gas diffusion process. The Freon would go on to wreck the global environment due to the Fluorine being so close in mass to air that it lingers and builds in the upper atmosphere. Here it absorbs high levels of IR radiation and contributes to global warming, and also sequesters hydrogen that adds to the UV-b levels from ionization effects and damages the ozone like chlorine.
The DuPont mess does not end there as the stain resistant compounds like "Scotchguard" are tied to Infant Deaths. Infants tend to burp up stomach contents and this gets onto Scotchguard surfaces of baby mattresses. Here the acid liberates the fluoride used in the stain resistant coating and makes HF, which can cause SIDS. Scotchguard has recently been discontinued due to these effects, in the same way that Freon has been discontinued. DuPont's Teflon was even seen to break down in cooking applications and poison and kill household birds.
The Manhattan Project is riddled with fluorine problems. The very first deaths connected with the project came from liquid diffusion experiments hitting some water and causing a huge explosion and HF release that killed several people. The problems never ceased, as in Oak Ridge they killed a worker named Jack Owens who sat on some "Green Salt" at the Y-12 plant that was wet with HF and he died of a heart attack a few days later. HF has a sudden death effect due to skin absorption effects on the heart. Persons like Paducah's Joe Harding cleaned out gas diffusion equipment and received HF exposures by crawling around and getting HF into his tendons around knees, elbows, etc. The fluoride hardened his ligaments and these would flake off and look like fingernails coming through his skin. He eventually died of stomach cancer. GDP operation.
Fluoride even has some more sinister uses, as it was used in Russia and in Germany to pacify prisoners. The infamous "Red Trains" of Russia took undesirables to work camps in Siberia. Here the Jewish operators of these camps administered the fluoride to change resistant attitudes. Ironically, Jewish Communists in Russia banned religions due to some of the problems of state within a state effect that religion caused that challenged the power of Governments. Many of these religious dissidents landed in these Jewish operated Siberian prisons and were given the same methods of treatment that Moses dealt to the Egyptians using the alchemical methods of fluoride.
The people of Russia and Europe have rejected the use of fluoridation because they know of its more sinister properties in taking control of societies. The Russian Jews that banned religions also likely saw through the real alchemical meanings from the veiled messages and parables presented in the Torah. Meanwhile, the communists stood by and watched the problems that wrecked Europe for so long be pilloried against the US and the UK. The toxic methods of fluoride have so lamed the minds of citizens of these countries that they don't even notice the greater plan to take over the country from within, as forecast by Russia's Khrushchev. Fluoride has some very sinister purposes once the Old World religion meanings are unveiled.
Fluorides released from industry causes problems and more sinister uses of fluorides to control people also cause problems. Natural effects are not exempted as even natural effects of fluoride levels are tied to the transmission of HIV and the resultant pandemic. The East African Rift Zone in Africa has the highest levels of HIV cases, and these areas also have the highest levels of fluoride in their food and water. Reference 2 below speaks to the issue of manganese being able to stop HIV reverse transcription replication and transmission in its tracks. This is one of the fluorine-metal complex effects that make for the problems of the HIV pandemic. The use of fluoride here is population control, and the Govt. does know the real issues behind HIV. It fits the Rockefeller depopulation plans and their AMA system of profiting.
The high levels of fluorine in the bone mass of persons in these regions set up the fluoride-aluminum formation leading to interaction with manganese, which renders it unavailable in cells. In the process the immune system cells have low concentration of manganese for viral control enzyme production, which is essential for cells to resist infection with HIV. This is why the immune cells are the hardest hit with HIV infections, they propagate it, and they sequester it in the gut region.
Fluorine combines with aluminum to mimic G-proteins that affect the pituitary TSH receptor sites on cells and lock them from proper performance. The effect is similar to how aluminum based vaccine adjuvants (alum) attempt to lock the memory of dendritic cells to vaccine pathogens. The AlFx compound formed won't clear from cell bonding sites due to the high strength of the fluorine bond to the cell site. AlFx compounds mimic the TSH hormone of the pituitary, but not well. AlFx compounds don't follow the day and night cyclic patterns of natural TSH from the pituitary, and the near permanent bonding effects on TSH receptor sites highly upsets thyroid hormone regulation. It is this effect that keeps the cells of the body from making the needed levels of GSH and from powering down in the night and day cycles of normal TSH.
In the human body the HIV virus tends to remain latent in the immune system cells of the abdomen, which is where the food and water intake would tend to affect the immune system the most due to fluoride retention. Other factors like gay male's seamen also add to the concentration effects of fluorides because it tends to concentrate the fluoride toxics. Add to this that drugs like cocaine also affect the immune system and make HIV more infectious. This is how the gay population was so heavily affected by HIV.
The real issues of natural effects of fluoride and ever more sinister uses for it appear far back in history. Fluoride issues go back to the times of the origin of Alchemy in Egypt and the parable presentations in the Biblical narratives. The Egyptians were into religious rights used at mining temples to gather and purify gold. This was the source of the "black chemistry" called Alchemy. The Egyptians appear to be some of the first to observe that gold could be used as a medicine effect.
They did not know why at the time, only that it aided health. Today, we can see that gold added to the body tends to complex with fluorine and render it less harmful. This later went into how the Jews of Exodus survived the toxic effects of the Mt. Sinai linked volcano chain next to Midian. They added gold to their cooking methods as told by the golden calf story. Even today, the Chinese believe in adding gold flakes to their food and even cooking with a gold coin to achieve these same effect. We can see similar effects on the immune system and the susceptibility to flu by adding increased zinc to ones diet.
Moses was exposed to this mining temple Alchemy science linked to gold for the Egyptian royal courts. When Moses came for his people he used poison methods that were presented in alchemical imagery terms linked to symbols of the snake and the staff as power. Moses took his people to the Mt. Sinai volcano and here they did the mining techniques to extract gold from its deposits. They learned to survive the HF emissions by using the gold techniques. This is the heart of the science of colloid gold and silver, because these nano-fine particles gain entrance into the body and cells and can render the fluoride effect harmless by complexing with the fluorine atoms.
Even when we get up to the times of Jesus we see the Egyptian Alchemy being linked to "Star Metals." The only thing the Egyptians valued more than gold was the "Star Metal," which was basically just low carbon iron from meteorites. It was the steel of the times, and highly valued. It was this substance that the "Three Wise Men" story of Jesus' birth relates. The Jews wanted a new savior and the Wise Men liked the concept and imparted to them the inner secrets of the Alchemy.
Mary, Joseph, and thus Jesus learned the inner meanings of the story of Genesis and the methods of Moses and his volcano Alchemy from their contact with the alchemical wise men. They were also directly exposed to the Egyptian culture in the times of Cleopatra and saw the things that influenced Moses. They could then see through issues of the Jewish Torah in ways that had not been presented by Holy Rabbis of the times. Due to this inspirational epiphany of Mary and Joseph, Jesus became the reformer for the Jews over these inner secrets of the Torah (Torah is the first five chapters of Christian's Bible). Even when we go back to Noah, we find the volcanic effects link to 40 days and nights of rain and the need to sequester food and shelter animals from the poisons of these events.
We can see these similar effects on animals today from volcanic events in Iceland, where the HF is cooled and deposited on the snows that melt and flow into rivers. The cattle and other animals hundreds of miles away from these events are often killed by drinking the HF contaminated water from the rivers. Similar effects are seen around aluminum plants where cows eat contaminated grass and either die or suffer extreme degenerative health effects.
Even the parable on Sodom and Gomorrah is one about the Dead Sea regions rift zone, which due to pressure and volcanic issues released all matter of fluorides into the ground water and wells of the region. What followed were toxic effects on the population there and the story that God or Nature destroyed them as it sank beneath the Dead Sea.
This story is little different than the current problems in Ethiopia, where fluoride levels are extremely high in the water supplies and the rift effects are going to make in inland ocean of a large part of the country due to subsidence of the land.
We can even see the aphrodisiac effects of fluorides from the parables on Sodom and Gomorrah, and the very same effects happen to workers of the Govt.'s nuclear plants in Oak Ridge. These sex drive effects were so bad that all the office and lab windows and door glass had to be removed and replaced with clear glass to limit the private areas for sexual activities. Oak Ridge and other sites that experienced the toxic effects of fluorides experienced a unique visit back in time to the problems seen in the biblical narratives. It is how places like Oak Ridge unlocked the deeper issues of God and Nature from the Bible's stories.
The secrets of religion are directly related to the alchemical science that evolved around the effects of fluorine from the Old World and the stories of the Old Testament. Jesus and the New Testament set forth to challenge the Torah and the Solomon's Temple Jewish Priests or Pharisee who misinterpreted these alchemical images stories. Jesus held the greater sense on what was and was not God. The Old Testament is really the anti-Christ and the New is the Christ, and this is where the ultimate story of understanding the most electronegative element on the planet leads.
The secret of fluorine is a most sinister one that involves its sequestration and build up in the bone marrow where it robs the immune cells there of their essential trace metals that make their enzyme repair processes work. Likewise, the fluorine also builds in the calcium rich tissues of the pineal gland and upsets the levels of melatonin and serotonin in the brain that are essential toward brain cell repair. The effect plays a dominant role in aging and senescence leading up to diseases and death. The AlFx hormone mimic of TSH appears to play a role in these hormones imbalance.
Today, we know that the fluorine's rise in the body sets up the slow impact on melatonin levels that regulate sexual puberty and that the lowering of the age of sexual maturity of children is a direct effect from the rise of fluorine in the environment. We even know the strange aphrodisiac effects seen in workers exposed to fluorine gases of the uranium gas diffusion plant was a direct effect of melatonin antagonism. We also know the like effects on serotonin levels made for a work force that would not question, but do what they were told to the point of self injury from its long term toxic effects.
One can literally steer sexual urges and aggression by controlling metatonin and fluorine levels in the body. If one wants to lower sexual urges one takes melatonin as a supplement and then sleeps better at night and wakes with higher-level brain function in the morning. If one wants to enhance sexual urges then one consumes food and water with more fluorine concentration. The latter effect is happening to the majority of the population due to industry cover-ups and AMA corruption.
We can also see why the alternative health therapies work that involve things as simple as acupuncture, magnets, and minerals like zinc and selenium. Acupuncture uses needles made of the precious metals silver or gold typically. When these are inserted into the body around sites of inflammation and rotated or electrically driven, they give off metal ions into these local tissues. These metals interfere with the formation of the toxic Fluoride-metal compounds and form soluble complexes that remove fluorine from these tissues and the body. Similarly, the magnet therapies tend to collect the ferrous metals in the tissues, which don't form dangerous fluorine compounds and do form compounds that will enhance removal of fluorine from the tissues and body. Similarly, mineral supplements of zinc and selenium do the same. All these are very ancient methods that work, and even Egypt's Cleopatra used the magnet methods in her time.
Those that truly understand the messages of Jesus would have to note that his message is about "Health Care" by prevention and not the "Illness Care" methods of today that have gone wild due to the suppression of toxic effects on the world population. Jesus was an Environmentalist of his times and he spoke against the deceptive war methods of Moses' God using fluoride alchemical chemical warfare. This is the message shown in the icon imagery of Mary standing on the Snake with an apple in its mouth to control the levels of poisons getting into the human food chain. It is the story of putting only good things into the body and treating it as a temple.
The science of fluorine is literally so pontifical that it is the divine gatekeeper between what are the concepts of Heaven and Hell for Humans on this planet. This is how powerful the study of the full issues of fluorine relates. Fluorine gets into the inner circle of the secrets of religion, and the flaws in the interpretations of religion. This is how fluorine comes to play such an instrumental role in the Revelations message of Jesus from the Biblical narratives.
Fluorine effects are directly linked to the great health plagues of cancer and HIV that we see today, as prophesied by Jesus in the Revelation narratives. The major weather effects are directly connected to the global warming effects being generated by fluorine building in the upper atmosphere. The full understanding of the effects of fluorine lead to the life-spans of 1,000 years presented in the Biblical Narratives Genesis. This being the best interpretation for "Eternal Life" and the saving messages from Jesus.
The Manhattan Project has played a pivotal role in the keeping of these huge secrets that have falsely empowered the few and intentionally mislead so many. It is linked to the messages of the End-Times, when false prophets have surrounded us. The Manhattan Project likes to falsely play up that radiation is the cause of the many health problems, but this is only an intentional misleading story salted into the public's mind. The Manhattan Project and religion have long been linked in a mutual act of preservation of huge lies that are harmful to all citizens of this planet.
If the church gives up its inner sanctum secrets liked to these effects or the Manhattan Project scientists tell the real relationships, then both sides go down in a huge implosion. It is indeed a corrupt truth reminiscent of Rapture. The Pharisee and those that followed them have tried to modify these simple origins of Moses' god using much words of spirituality. But the inner core of Moses is one of the natural order of volcanic effects and this has both a warlike vengeful god connotation as well as one of Satan. These cover-ups are the root of all the massive wars the people of this world have been drawn.
The ultimate antithesis is fluoride sets up the ultimate contrast between reasons for communism's ban on religion and those that pillory people with religion for power and control. Lost between the paradigms is the factor of good and the real God. The real dialectics Jesus spoke of are missing. The fact is that in the US, the war on communism used the church. The catharsis that exposes all is the study of fluoride connections to Egypt, the biblical narratives of Moses, and Jesus objections toward these spiritual words that attempted to conceal the real story. It is a story that most of the Jews that know Torah and Talmud know well.
It gets down to a method for the NWO, where the god of Moses is slipped into the bible narratives and not explained well to the Christian masses. It is explained so poorly that most think the god of Moses, the nationalistic human built god of the Jews, and the God of Jesus are one in the same. It is this omission and the conspiracy of silence tied to it, that is part of the Jews thinking their subtle take over methods are acceptable to organized religion in the US and the world. The war on communism has been used by the power seeking methods of the Jews to take economic control of the US.
It is ultimately the evangelical uses of spirituality to embellish these issues in such a way as to confuse and obfuscate them that empowered this sinister oligarchy. It is done because these evangelicals are more interested in loosing a little money from the pocketbooks of their parishioners, more-so than telling the full story of correct spiritually and incorrect conspiracies of silence of the whole story. The real story is the church, as an ultimate weapon against communism and a tool for the Jews conquest, has presented a lie and a conspiracy of silence. The "War on Communism" that joined the Jews and the Christians against Russia also deadlocked the "Second Coming" of Christ issue.
These are the methods of power and control using the false concepts presented by those of religion. This is the story of how science met religion in the Manhattan Project and beyond---and how the real message of Jesus was introduced to most in the US National Security system. Many of the very same interests that covered up the dangers of fluoride were the same players that cover up the reasons JFK was assassinated. It is the strong overlap of fluoride-related issues into Jewish / Torah religion factors and how these influenced the church and the war on Communism that played the essential role in the death of JFK. Details. This is why Oak Ridge's Y-12 plant played a preeminent role in the assassination of JFK by networking with Jacob Rubenstein, AKA Jack Ruby.
The war against communism is a no win when the best defenses are based upon a lie, and likewise a democracy built upon the false concepts of religion is doomed to be taken from within, a people exploited. Likewise, the church cannot be called a Church based in Christ, unless these truths become known. The Church has become a part of the Conspiracy of Silence that leads the flock astray. The only way to proceed now is all the facts on the table, the end of the secrecy, and return to the concepts of equality to all the people.
I hope that each of you have enjoyed these insights into the inner secrets of the Manhattan Project and the health effects of fluorides. May these secrets unleashed here set all free to enter a kinder and gentler time. One can see how fluorine is the Bane of man's existence on Earth, but it is also the axis of knowledge that leads everyone toward and better understanding of man, nature, and God.
THE PRINCIPLE DAMAGE FACTORS FOR FLUORIDE:
1. Fluoride seeks bone and there upsets the beneficial trace metals in the immune system cells formed there. Fluoride is an enzyme poison and reduces the enzyme glutathione based on selenium that clears toxic metals from the body. [Ref 4] Rising levels of fluoride induce toxic metal poisoning and excessive free radical damage to cells from mitochondrial malfunction. It is the prime cause for the HIV pandemic worldwide via manganese availability reduction in cells. Fluoride is the same bone marrow and immune cell health damage effect that Sr-90 presented from nuclear testing due to damage to the RNase L enzyme process that controls viral infections of cells.
2. Fluoride rising in the environment with toxic trace metals like aluminum form AlFx protein that damage G-protein signal systems for TSH, leading to GSH depletion damage of the immune cells in the lymph nodes, cells in other organs and tissues. Fluoride-aluminum complexes shut down the ability of the cells to produce GSH and SOD, particularly in the lymph system's control for varied pathogens in the cells. This is a prime effect for CFS, Cancers, and AIDs.
3. Fluoride is antagonistic toward the generation of melatonin and serotonin in the body and this effect causes the lowering of the age of puberty in children and the rising need for drugs like SSRIs to attempt to control rising problems with sexual promiscuity, rage, and violence.
4. Fluoride upsets the thyroid hormones from both the liver and thyroid process and causes problems associated with rise in obesity to ability to do daily duties.
5. Fluoride levels in the bone literally set the entire progression of human and animal life in this planet. The rise of fluorine in the body determines puberty and decline of learning abilities via melatonin / serotonine effects. The rise of cumulative fluorine determines immune system viability leading to illness and disease over time and literally death. Bone concentrations of fluorine exactly track these developmental phases of humans and even sets up their life-span and death.
6. Fluoride and fluorine are some of the veiled effects spoken about in biblical narratives and the exploitation of this secret of fluorine is used by various political and religion factions to take control of countries like the US.

Lucky discovery uncovers cancer-proof mouse By Shaoni Bhattacharya
A cancer-proof mouse, which can survive being injected with any number of cancer cells, has been discovered by US scientists. The discovery of the resistant mouse could pave the way for future gene or drug therapies if the mechanism by which it fights cancer can be understood
Researchers at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine in North Carolina have now bred a colony of 700 cancer-proof mice from the resistant male they stumbled across while doing other experiments.
Doctors have known for many years that in rare cases, cancers can mysteriously clear up of their own accord. But this is the first time such cancer-killing ability has been shown to be genetic.
"The power of this resistance seems to be unlimited," said biochemist Zheng Cui, the study leader. "You can give them many, many tumour cells and the mice get rid of them."
"This is at a preliminary stage, but very promising," adds pathologist Mark Willingham, another member of the team. "Our hope is that, some day, this will have an impact on human cancer."

The scientists discovered the original cancer-proof mouse by luck during experiments in which mice were injected with soft tissue cancers, called sarcomas. Despite repeated injections, one mouse did not develop cancer. When this mouse bred with a normal mouse, some of their offspring were resistant. And these resistant mice were also able to confer resistance, for at least seven generations. "The resistance appears to be caused by just one gene, or a cluster of closely related genes," Cui told New Scientist.
The cancer-killing ability of the mice was unusually consistent with different types of cancer. "What's surprising is it appears these mice are able to recognise something in common to all cancer cell lines," said Cui. "Usually it's difficult to find a common theme."
Willingham told New Scientist that the cancer cells are killed by the mice in a "somewhat novel" way. The body's usual first line of defence against invaders - white blood cells called T-cells - were not employed. Instead the body's innate immune system, consisting of cells like neutrophils and macrophages, attacked the tumour cells and ruptured them.
Previous mice bred so that their immune systems could beat cancer went on the develop autoimmune diseases, but that did not happen with these mice. One significant puzzle that remains is how the mice detect the cancer cells in the first place. Cui speculates that some kind of diffusible factor from the tumour may betray the deadly cells.
Paul Ko Ferrigno, a cancer biologist at the MRC's cancer cell research unit in Cambridge, UK, calls the findings "very tantalising". "I'm intrigued and excited. If they can pin down what the immune basis for resistance to cancer is it should be straightforward to train a patient's immune system to do the same," he told New Scientist. Although they are preliminary, the study's findings have "huge potential", he says.
The top priority now, says Willingham, is to identify the mouse gene responsible for the resistance. "Because of the Human Genome Project, we could then look for a correlate gene in humans," he said.

Manganese blocks HIV replication; Lab finding points to potential new class of HIV treatments
Johns Hopkins scientists have found that simply increasing manganese in cells can halt HIV's unusual ability to process its genetic information backwards, providing a new way to target the process's key driver, an enzyme called reverse transcriptase.
By measuring DNA produced by a related reverse transcriptase in yeast, the Hopkins team discovered that higher than normal levels of manganese, caused by a defective gene, dramatically lowered the enzyme's activity. The scientists then proved that HIV's reverse transcriptase responds to manganese in the same way. Hopkins graduate student Eric Bolton determined that the defective gene is PMR1, whose protein carries both manganese and calcium out of cells. Using special yeast developed by others at Hopkins, he discovered that manganese stops reverse transcriptase, the team reports in the April 26 issue of Molecular Cell.
"These results really point to a never-before-proposed way to try to stop HIV in its tracks -- that simply manipulating concentrations of a metal, manganese, can have a profound effect on reverse transcriptase," says Jef Boeke, Ph.D., professor of molecular biology and genetics at the school's Institute for Basic Biomedical Sciences. "We expect the human equivalent of PMR1 could be a good target for developing new drugs against HIV."
Retroviruses like HIV use reverse transcriptase to make copies of their DNA from RNA, the opposite of how genetic information is usually processed in cells. Each retrovirus has a distinct version of the enzyme, identical in function but different in form and sequence, says Boeke, also a professor of oncology.
The scientists found that each reverse transcriptase they studied has at least two places where manganese and the similar metal magnesium can "dock." Having these spots filled with the right metal is crucial for the enzyme's activity -- its ability to read a particular set of RNA, the scientists learned. When the metals' balance is out of whack, the enzyme doesn't work properly, they report.
"Most reverse transcriptases we studied prefer to bind magnesium. At the very least they were more active when magnesium was bound to them," says Boeke. "But a little extra manganese changes the activity of the enzyme."
Normally, charged magnesium ions outnumber those of manganese by the thousands inside cells. Having just three times more manganese than normal can cut the activity of HIV's reverse transcriptase in half, the scientists report, even though there's still much more magnesium.
HIV's ability to adapt and overcome drugs means that current treatments like AZT, which target reverse transcriptase directly, generally stop working over time. Using a combination of drugs helps block the virus on many fronts, but finding new drugs or a new class of drugs is needed to help keep the virus at bay. The new work suggests that targeting a cell's manganese transporter could be an effective way to stop HIV from replicating, without targeting HIV's reverse transcriptase directly.
"We've been working under the idea that studying reverse transcriptase in yeast may help improve understanding of retroviruses and lead to new ways to deal with HIV," says Boeke. "By studying yeast genetics we made an important discovery about how HIV works and have identified a target for a new class of anti-retroviral drug. It was completely unexpected, but very satisfying."
The yeast that were missing PMR1 appeared fine, suggesting that targeting the manganese transporter in humans may be relatively safe, the scientists suggest. It's not known whether targeting manganese levels will have a therapeutic benefit, but the mantra of HIV treatment is to reduce the number of copies of the virus.
The studies were funded by the National Institutes of Health. Albert Mildvan, M.D., professor of biological chemistry, is also an author of the report.

Summary Aluminofluoride complexes (AlFx) have been widely used in laboratory investigations for stimulation of various guanine nucleotide-binding proteins. These complexes are able to simulate phosphate groups in many biochemical reactions. They are formed in water solutions containing fluoride and traces of aluminum. Reflecting on many studies, which utilize AlFx in laboratory investigations, a new view of fluoride and aluminum toxicity can be suggested. Moreover, many ecological studies bring evidence about the detrimental effects of fluoride and aluminum ions in humans. The hidden danger of their long-term action is not fully recognized at this point.
Introduction Transfer of phosphate groups is the basic mechanism in the regulation of the activity of numerous enzymes, energy metabolism, cell signaling, and regulation of cell growth. Phosphate is an important component of phospholipids in the cell membranes. In view of the ubiquity of phosphate in cell metabolism, a phosphoryl transfer transition state analog might represent a useful tool for laboratory investigations, but also a strong potential danger for living organisms including humans. Such compound has been already found, described, and opted for molecule of the month March 1997 1,2,3. Moreover, the new phosphate analog has been used in experimental work in numerous laboratories.
Scientists need not buy this powerful compound through any catalog or drug store. Fluoride anions, generally introduced as NaF solutions, have long been known to influence the activity of various enzymes and the GTP binding proteins (G proteins). These proteins are part of a three-component transmembrane signaling system that serve as intermediaries carrying signals from numerous receptors to the cell interior. It has been later demonstrated that the effects primarily attributed to fluoride are caused by aluminofluoride complexes (AlFx) because experiments were performed in the presence of trace amounts of aluminum. This fact had at first been ignored because aluminum is a normal component of glass from which it is etched by a solution with fluoride 4.
However, the exact structure of the activatory complexes able to simulate PO43- group in many biochemical reactions, were disputed. AlFx (where x = 1-6) forms in aqueous solutions of fluoride and aluminum. The different coordination numbers of aluminum originate mainly from the difference of pH 3, 5. The bound AlFx occurs as AlF3 at pH 8.5 but as AlF4 at pH 4.5.
AlFx - phosphoryl transfer transition state analog Analogies between a phosphate group and aluminofluoride complexes consist in atomic and molecular similarities.
The fluorine atom has the same size and the same valence orbitals as oxygen. Of course, fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen and has greater capacity for forming hydrogen bonds. Aluminum is close to phosphorus, their valence electrons are in the same shell. An Al-F bond is the same length as a P-O bond in phosphate, i.e.1.5 to1.6 Å. Like phosphorus, aluminum has possible coordination numbers of 1 - 6, due to the possible hybridization of its outer shell 3p electrons with the 3d orbitals. AlFx are not permanent, equilibria exist between the various possible complexes, depend on the excess concentration of free F- ions and on the pH of the solution 1, 3, 5.
These complexes can bind to proteins by hydrogen bonds to the fluorine atoms just as to oxygen atoms of a phosphate ion. So can arise an aluminofluoride analog of pyrophosphate, R-O-PO2-O-AlF3, which may be bound at the site for the (-phosphate. Thus, for instance, in a GTP-binding protein whose nucleotide site already contains a GDP, an aluminofluoride complex can form hydrogen bonds with the donor groups of the (-phosphate site and bind ionically to the terminal oxygen of the (-phosphate of the GDP. Enzyme-bound ADP or GDP could therefore form a complex with the AlFx that imitated ATP or GTP.
However, an important functional difference between a phosphate group and the structurally analogous AlFx complexes exists 1,6. In phosphate, oxygen is covalently bound to the phosphorus and does not exchange with oxygen from solvent. In AlFx, ionic bonds are formed between the electropositive aluminum and the highly electronegative fluorine. While the reaction of a bound phosphate compound with orthophosphate is endergonic and slow, the corresponding reaction with AlFx is rapid and spontaneous. AlFx bind ionically to the terminal oxygen of GDP (-phosphate. Enzyme-bound GDP or ADP could therefore form a complex with AlFx that imitates ATP or GTP in its effect on protein conformation. This effect often causes a structural change that locks the site and prevents the dissociation of the trisphosphate.
AlFx in laboratory studies Low cost and availability of these fluorometallic complexes contributed probably to the fact that their use as a useful tool in laboratory studies of G proteins widely spread 1,7. The heterotrimeric G proteins mediate the transfer of information from receptor to effector molecules. These studies brought a great deal of knowledge about the involvement of G proteins in cell signaling. Numerous papers bring evidence that AlFx influence various functions and biochemical reactions of all cells and tissues of the animal or human organisms with powerful pharmacological efficacy. Fluoride in the presence of trace amounts of aluminum affects all blood elements, endothelial cells and blood circulation, the function of lymphocytes and cells of the immune system, bone cells, fibroblasts and keratinocytes, ion transport, calcium influx and mobilization, processes of neurotransmission, growth and differentiation of cells, protein phosphorylation, and cytoskeletal proteins 7. It is not surprising in respect to the role of G proteins in signal transduction.
Physiological agonists of G protein-coupled receptors include neurotransmitters and hormones, such as dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, serotonin, acetylcholine, glucagon, vasopressin, melatonin, TSH, neuropeptides, opioids, excitatory amino acids, prostanoids, purines, photons and odorants 8.
It has been demonstrated that AlFx may clone or potentiate the action of numerous extracellular signals. The principle of amplification of the initial signal during its conversion into the functional response has been a widely accepted tenet in cell physiology. AlFx therefore affects the levels of second messenger molecules, including c AMP, phosphoinositide signaling system, and cytosolic calcium homeostasis. Biological signaling pathways interact with one another to form complex networks 9.
The discoveries of receptor diversity, numerous G proteins, and phospholipase C families, broadens enormously the possibilities of interactions of signal transduction events. The question as to how cells manage to make the right responses at the right times is still disputed. The phosphate-analog models of AlFx action have been accepted for G-proteins but may be extended to all enzymes that bind phosphate or nucleoside-polyphosphate. AlFx mimicks a phosphoryl group being transferred. Phosphoryl transfer reactions are involved in processes such as energy transduction, regulation of cell growth, activation of metabolites, and cytoskeletal proteins assembly.
Evidence about the action of AlFx in humans The interpretation of laboratory investigations using isolated animal and human cells or tissues on the intact human organism could be discussed. Nevertheless, many ecological and clinical studies bring evidence about the detrimental effects of synergistic action of fluoride and aluminum ions in humans.
Most of the ill effects caused by fluoride were first recognized among workers in aluminum factories, where fluoride and aluminum are present in high concentrations. The levels of fluoride in serum, urine, and hair of these workers are higher than in the control subjects 10.
Osteoarthritis and related disorders in such workers have been reported since the 1930 s 11. Observation of industrial fluorosis (osteosclerosis) led to the use of fluoride as a treatment to increase bone mass in osteoporosis patients. Psychiatric disturbances were also reported in aluminum smelter workers 12 - 14. The study of persons living near an enamel factory reports a distinct decline in mental activity, poorer memory, inability to coordinate thoughts and reduced ability to write. Those living further away from the factory were less affected and had lower urinary fluoride content (14). Chronic effects of fluorides on the pituitary-thyroid gland system in industrial workers engaged in fluorine production showed also moderate functional changes 15.
Fluoride intoxication with multiple nonspecific symptoms has been observed in chronic hemodialysis patients 16. In some regions, the water used for the dialysate also contained a lot of aluminum. Some patients used aluminum-containing medications. Moreover, patients with renal failure cannot remove aluminum from the blood. Elevated aluminum levels have been also implicated as the cause of dialysis encephalopathy or dementia 17. Dialysis dementia can arise after three to seven years of hemodialysis treatment. Speech disorders precede dementia and convulsions.
Fluoride has been used in the prevention of tooth decay for over 50 years. While official medicine is convinced that the epidemiological evidence that fluoride protects against dental caries is overwhelming 18 many studies reporting and evaluating the risks and adverse effects of fluoride on human organism were published during the same period 19 - 21. Some of them demonstrate the positive correlation between the higher intake of fluoride and osteoarthritis, changes in bone structure, and various non- specific symptoms. Reduction of children intelligence 22, 23, various psychiatric symptoms in adults, such as memory impairment, and difficulties with concentration and thinking were reported 19 - 21. Elevated fluoride content was found in embryonic brain tissues obtained from required abortions in areas where fluorosis was prevalent. These studies showed poor differentiation of brain nerve cells and delayed brain development 24.
Understanding the role of phosphate and G proteins in cell signaling allows to accept the fact that fluoride in the environment, water, and food chains followed by aluminum, can evoke various and multiple pathological symptoms 19, 25. The endocrine glands such as the parathyroid gland, the thyroid, the pituitary gland, and the pineal gland, are extremely sensitive to fluoride (25, 26). Of particular importance relating to G protein activation is the ability of fluorides to clone the role of thyroid-stimulating-hormone (TSH). Fluoride is used in laboratory animals specifically to substitute for TSH. The synergistic action of thyroid on fluoride toxicity has been reported since 1940. Fluorides effects on thyroid hormone synthesis can be observed on many different levels. There is a direct dose-response relationship with iodine: the higher the fluoride intake - the lower the iodine in the system. The major areas of iodine deficiency are identical to endemic fluorosis areas. The comparison of fluoride toxicity symptoms and symptoms of thyroid disorders has been reviewed 25. The functional changes of the hypophysis-thyroid gland system caused by disorders of the regulatory chain and fluorine impact on thyroid hormones metabolism at the level of target cells were reported 15. Moreover, the melatonin concentrations were positively correlated with TSH levels in hypothyroidism, and negatively correlated with T3 in hyperthyroidism 27. Regarding the crucial role of the thyroid in regulation of growth, development, and metabolism of many tissues, AlFx might influence the proper function of the entire human body.
Chronic exposure of humans to AlFx begins in the foetus 21, 24. Every minute at least one child is dying due to excess fluoride exposure dressed up as iodine deficiency. High fluoride exposure appears to weaken mental function among children, as well as adults. In respect to the etiology of Alzheimer s disease, the long term action of AlFx also represents a serious and powerful risk factor for the development of this new threat of human civilization epidemy (28). AlFx may affect all pathological hallmarks of this disease: processes of neurotransmission, ( amyloid generation, plaque formation, metabolism of apolipoprotein E, protein tau phosphorylation, cytoskeletal protein organization, transport of ions, energy metabolism, and calcium homeostasis 29,30. In light of the published findings, the AlFx s harm to intelligence would not be neglected by responsible scientists and physicians. AlFx represent serious hidden danger for homeostasis, metabolism, growth, and differentiation of the living organism including humans.
Fluoride and aluminum in ecosystems Aluminum, the metal of the earth's lithosphere, is everywhere: in water sources, in nourishment, in different food additives and also in air in the form of dust particles. Aluminum is present in all living organisms including human 31. It has, until relatively recently, existed in forms not generally available to living organisms, and was therefore regarded as non-toxic. With the appearance of acid rains and the use of aluminum in industry, there has been a dramatic increase in the amount of uncomplexed aluminum in ecosystems. The water supply industry uses aluminum salts to produce a less turbid drinking water. In the UK, concentrations of between 0.01 and 3.5 mg/l have been found in potable waters 32. Toxic effects of increased aluminum concentration have already been observed in some animal and plant species living in lakes with aluminum concentrations of between 0.1 and 0. 8 mg/l 31.
Fluoride comes from fluoridated water, from crops grown with fluoridated water, from medicines, dental products, pesticides, fertilizers, fuels. About 143, 000 tons are pumped yearly into drinking water supplies in the U.S.A. 500, 000 tons a year goes into fresh waters and the sea, 155, 000 tons of fluoride are released annually into America s air 21. Industrial fertilizers and pesticides increase the amount of this element in agricultural products and food sources 21, 33. Several studies reported a high content of fluoride and aluminum in all tested Chinese, Indian and herbal teas (34). A cup of green tea can contain up to 22 mg of fluoride, as much as 22 l of fluoridated water, a cup of black tea 17.25 mg. Tea is the second most-consumed beverage after water in the world. That the aluminum present in tea is indeed resorbed in the simultaneous presence of fluoride was demonstrated in healthy male volunteers after drinking equal volumes (1.2 l) of tea, coffee or tap water on separate days. In every case the amount of the urinary excreted aluminum increased on the day when tea was taken. The results indicated that tea consumption must be considered in any assessment of the total dietary intake of aluminum in human beings 35.
Reports of fluorosis popped up in the 1970's when phosphate fertilizer plants dramatically increased production. For more than one hundred years, Florida has been a major producer of superphosphate fertilizer. Residents have complained at different times of difficulty in breathing, sore throats, and various nonspecific health problems due to excessive emissions from phosphate fertilizer plants. Spills from toxic waste water ponds dump hundreds of millions of gallons of highly acidic water laced with toxic fluorides, into rivers and streams. People living near phosphate fertilizer plants are twice as likely to develop lung cancer and osteoblastic leukemia 36.
No one can predict what happens in the human body after a truly chronic exposure to an increased content of fluoride and aluminum in body fluids and in various tissues. The severity and the development of the symptoms depend on a person s age, genetic background, nutrition status, kidney function, and many other factors. The natural barrier systems for aluminum such as low absorption in the gastro-intestinal tract, and various physiological ligands, such as citrate, phosphate, and silicic acid, were efficient buffers preventing the increased intake of this metal in natural conditions. The population is now exposed to soluble aluminum, which is more bioavailable. The presence of fluoride caused more aluminum to cross the blood-brain barrier and be deposited in the brain of rat 37. This study compared behavior, body weight, plasma, and brain fluoride levels after NaF exposures during late gestation, at weaning or in adults. Rats exposed as adults displayed behavior-specific changes typical of cognitive deficits, whereas rats exposed prenatally had dispersed behaviors typical of hyperactivity. Aluminum-induced neural degeneration in rats is greatly enhanced when the animals were fed low doses of fluoride 38.
Conclusions The discovery of AlFx as a new class of phosphate analog brought numerous demonstrations of their powerful pharmacological efficacy. It is not surprising in respect to the role of G proteins in signal transduction. G proteins take part in an enormous variety of biological signaling systems, helping control almost all important life processes 39. It might seem difficult to decide if numerous laboratory experiments demonstrate a potential toxicological risk of fluoride and aluminum for the human population. The origins of many human diseases are in the functioning (and malfunctioning) of signaling components 9. Pharmacologists estimate that up to 60% of all medicines used today exert their effects through G protein signaling pathways (39). However, it is evident that AlFx is a molecule giving the false information amplified by processes of signal transmission.
The understanding of mechanism of action of these fluorometallic complexes could allow us to explain numerous observations about the effects of increased amount of fluoride and aluminum in the environment, drinks, and food. Fluoridation of public water treated with aluminum salts together with the wide use of fluoride and aluminum in medicine, industry, and agriculture, started the era of supplementation of human bodies with these ions as never before in the history of human race. Science has already accumulated evidence about their detrimental effects on the living organism. It seems that scientists still need more significant data to be sure about the causal relationship between the action of AlFx and disturbances of human health. However, numerous published reports bring us at least strong warning.
Chronic exposure of humans to AlFx begins during the first trimester in the womb. It is evident that children are at highest risk. It therefore follows that the sources of fluoride available to children must get addressed first, prioritizing on sources with highest content. For many this is not only water. For some it is fluoride in formula and prepared cereals, for others it is exposure to coal smoke during cooking. For others yet it is close vicinity to power plants with high fluoride emissions, or exposure to other fluoride-emitting industries. Then there are fruit juices and iced tea products, the first beverages introduced to toddlers, as well as toothpaste and other dental products. Vaccines, allergy skin tests, 25% human serum albumin, baby skin creams, baby diaper wipes, and antacids, which are frequently given to infants, are extremely high in aluminum. For adults, the accumulation continues from suntan lotion, cookware, aluminum cans and skin moisturizers. Such items as deodorants, vaginal douches and baby wipe not only have high aluminum content, but are applied to areas wherethere is far greater tendency to absorption through the skin.
The increasing content of fluorides and aluminum in food chains has raised the possibility that the near future will supply us with much more data about the danger of AlFx for humans, if it has not already done so. How long shall we wait to obtain evidence about the destructive actions of AlFx on the human race? How many subjects including ourselves, our children and our friends, shall we need for an overwhelming study?

SUMMARY: Eight-week old male Wistar rats weighing 180 g were given sodium fluoride in drinking water at a concentration of 5 and 25 mg F-/L for 12 weeks. Control animals received tap water containing 0.3 mg F-/L. The activity of glutathione peroxidase and the concentration of malondialdehye (MDA) were determined in kidney, liver, brain, testis, and blood or plasma. In exposed animals the activity of glutathione peroxidase decreased significantly, and the concentration of MDA increased in a dose and exposure-time dependent manner. The results of this study confirm other reports that fluoride induces free radical toxicity in animals.
