After reading a recent analysis on the US economy, I called the bank to see if I could buy some foreign exchange with my savings dollars. Of course pounds and euros are available. Also Japanese currency which we all know is the yen. But when asked about the yuan, the bank person needed it spelled and could not find it in her "book". She did find the Chinese currency on my request which is listed as cny. When she asked around in the bank, no one knew what the Chinese currency was called. That is in a small town near the nation's capital.
Here's an interesting revelation in the article quoted below. (No, my children's lovely teeth were not treated with fluoride though dentists and school staff pressured parents about it. And since 1975, I have avoided the fluoridated, chlorinated city water. I guess I am one of the wackos mentioned below.)
Anti-Fluoride Research Caries the Day
Remember when people who protested fluoridating municipal water supplies were considered "wackos?" Perhaps the tide is finally turning.
Recently, Dr. Hardy Limeback, Canada's foremost promoter of fluoridation, head of Preventive Dentistry, University of Toronto and President of the Canadian Association of Dental Research, told his colleagues and students that he had unintentionally misled them.
"For the past 15 years, I had refused to study the toxicology information that is readily available to anyone. Poisoning our children was the furthest thing from my mind."
Among the findings that finally opened Dr. Limeback's eyes was a recent study at the University of Toronto which confirmed that: "Residents of cities that fluoridate have double the fluoride in their hip bones vis-à-vis the balance of the population. Worse, we discovered that fluoride is actually altering the basic architecture of human bones."
Skeletal fluorosis is a debilitating condition that occurs when fluoride accumulates in bones, making them extremely weak and brittle. The earliest symptoms? "Mottled and brittle teeth," said Dr. Limeback. "In Canada we are now spending more money treating dental flurosis than we do treating cavities. That includes my own practice."

You can scarcely call this a blog anymore since I have not written for such a long time. The reasons are numerous and personal and real and maybe boring to you so I'll just move on to matters of cyberspace.
On the internet, I notice there is a lot of rehash of material. I notice that google seems to despise originality and give the place of honour to banality, not all the time but too much for my liking.
Picky, picky, you may say.
Iraq is still occupied by the Americans who really cannot gain control. Bush is still president and now threatening Iran. Things are heating up in Asia, between Pakistan and India, who both have nukes as well as between China and Japan. Korea is in a mess and talking nukes but so far the only nation that has nuked anyone remains the USA.
We were just remembering Hiroshima and Nagasaki earlier this month. The mass media is still trying to justify the bombings as more and more people recognize those events as atrocities. It is truly a battle for our minds.
This is just a quick update to enliven this page again. Probably nobody reading it except the CIA...

I was very sad recently to learn of the death of Gary Webb. It appears that he took his own life last December 10. Maybe he should've listened to John Swinton. But then, we wouldn't know the things we know from "Dark Alliance" though now, some are saying Webb got it all wrong. He and Mike Ruppert were acquainted and you can read about Webb at Ruppert's web site From the Wilderness.
Send me an email.
