The history of forcing fluoride on humans through the fluoridation of drinking water is wrought with lies, greed and deception. Governments that add fluoride to drinking water supplies insist that it is safe, beneficial and necessary, however, scientific evidence shows that fluoride is not safe to ingest and areas that fluoridate their drinking water supplies have higher rates of cavities, cancer, dental fluorosis, osteoporosis and other health problems. Because of the push from the aluminum industry, pharmaceutical companies and weapons manufacturers, fluoride continues to be added to water supplies all over North America and due to recent legal actions against water companies that fluoridate drinking water supplies, precedent has been set that will make it impossible for suits to be filed against water suppliers that fluoridate. There is a growing resistance against adding toxic fluoride to our water supplies, but unfortunately, because fluoride has become "the lifeblood of the modern industrial economy"(Bryson 2004), there is too much money at stake for those who endorse water fluoridation . The lies of the benefits of water fluoridation will continue to be fed to the public, not to encourage health benefits to a large number of people, but to profit the military-industrial complex. http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/bizzareweird/43055-the-fluoride-conspiracy-the-greatest-case-of-scientific-fraud-of-this-centuryThe history of forcing fluoride on humans through the fluoridation of drinking water... more

UFC President Dana White, also a co-owner in the company, took to Twitter blasting Anonymous and promoting SOPA. On Jan. 22 he wrote, "@masontbell9 nice fake account. Hacking the site is not a big deal dummy. We are not in the website biz. Today was a great day!!! Pats!!!!" --------- The on Jan. 22 he taunted, "@fjbar75 the Internet is the coward capital of the world" -------------- But yesterday the exchange grew more heated after Dana White threw his support in for SOPA in a UFC on FOX 2 post-press conference interview. He commented, "Is SOPA the perfect bill? No, it's not. The only thing that we're focused on is piracy. Piracy is stealing. If you walk into a store and steal a f------ gold watch, it's the same as stealing a pay-per-view. I don't care what your twisted, demented idea of stealing is. These kids grew up on the Internet never had to pay for anything, so they don't think they should have to." http://www.freeturbine.com/index.php/news/artists-news/item/ufc-president-calls-out-anonymous-plugs-sopa-gets-ktfoUFC President Dana White, also a co-owner in the company, took to Twitter blasting... more

Congress is debating dangerous legislation that would give the Department of Justice unprecedented power to “blacklist” websites without a trial and give Hollywood copyright holders a new way to shut down a website’s financial services for alleged copyright infringement. It’s nothing short of a bill to create a U.S. censorship regime, and it’s moving fast. We need your help to stop this legislation before it can undermine Internet security and censor the web. Ready to join EFF, Demand Progress, Fight for the Future, Free Software Foundation, Creative Commons, CDT, the Participatory Politics Foundation, and Public Knowledge in the fight? Here are 12 things you can do right now to help us stop the blacklist bills. http://www.freeturbine.com/index.php/news/general-music-news/item/fight-the-blacklist-a-toolkit-for-anti-sopa-activismCongress is debating dangerous legislation that would give the Department of Justice... more

On September 17, 2011, Occupy Wall Street (OWS), a diffuse group of mostly white middle class young people began a loosely organized protest in New York’s financial district. The group planned to camp out for some extended period in Zuccotti Park, a privately owned park in Lower Manhattan open to the public. This protest against corporate greed and social inequality and other disparities between rich and poor in the United States and around the world was fueled by their own anger and frustration at living in a country in the throes of a capitalist economic crisis where their own personal futures looked grim while the government was propping up and bailing out the super rich, the very people responsible for the crisis! http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/recent-news/43044-occupy-wall-street-why-this-rebellion-deserves-our-support-On September 17, 2011, Occupy Wall Street (OWS), a diffuse group of mostly white... more

Stop the Internet Blacklist Legitimization The Internet Blacklist Legislation - known as PROTECT IP Act in the Senate and Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House - is a threatening sequel to last year's COICA Internet Censorship Bill. Like its predecessor, this legislation invites Internet security risks, threatens online speech, and hampers Internet innovation. Urge your members of Congress to reject this Internet blacklist campaign in both its forms!Stop the Internet Blacklist Legitimization The Internet Blacklist Legislation - known... more

A retired bishop was among more than 50 people arrested after the Occupy Wall Street movement stormed another New York City park in an attempt to find a new home. Former Episcopal bishop George E. Packard was led away in cuffs after climbing a ladder to illegally enter Juan Pablo Duarte Square in the west SoHo neighbourhood of the city during the demo. He was one of hundreds of demonstrators, members of the clergy and elected officials who descended on the park and scaled a chain-link fence by a lot they’re eyeing as a new campsite. http://www.freeturbine.com/index.php/news/recent-politic/item/bishop-arrested-during-occupy-new-york-protestA retired bishop was among more than 50 people arrested after the Occupy Wall Street... more

The mass media serve as a system for communicating messages and symbols to the general populace. It is their function to amuse, entertain, and inform, and to inculcate individuals with the values, beliefs, and codes of behavior that will integrate them into the institutional structures of the larger society. In a world of concentrated wealth and major conflicts of class interest, to fulfill this role requires systematic propaganda. In countries where the levers of power are in the hands of a state bureaucracy, the monopolistic control over the media, often supplemented by official censorship, makes it clear that the media serve the ends of a dominant elite. http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/section-blog/43042-manufacturing-consent-a-propaganda-model-book-excerptThe mass media serve as a system for communicating messages and symbols to the general... more

I won't use many words or statistics. Both have been used before and they don't even begin to describe was is really happening. When we go to America we have an image. An image embedded or 'incepted' by decades of Hollywood films and the media. It's part of 'The American Dream' pumped out by a factory of dreams. We don't see the real people any more. We see characters being played by actors. But this time I went out in search of the real people. And I did see them. Like I have never seen them before. I began to think, is America haunted by what it has become and the way it got here? Or is it all about fiction, sitcoms and canned laughter? America is haunted all right. The ghosts are here. http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/bizzareweird/43027-la-venice-beach-how-the-american-dream-become-a-nightmareI won't use many words or statistics.

Slavoj Zizek .......... 1989 marked not only the defeat of the Communist State-Socialism, but also the defeat of the Western Social Democracy. Nowhere is the misery of today's Left more palpable than in its "principled" defence of the Social-Democratic Welfare State: the idea is that, in the absence of a feasible radical Leftist project, all that the Left can do is to bombard the state with demands for the expansion of the Welfare State, knowing well that the State will not be able to deliver. This necessary disappointment serves as a reminder of the basic impotence of the social-democratic Left and thus push the people towards a new radical revolutionary Left. http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/recent-news/43024-only-communism-can-save-liberal-democracySlavoj Zizek .......... 1989 marked not only the defeat of the Communist... more

The whole Voina lifestyle and narrative are something of a performance; it is about public self-representation, certainly. This is part of what makes them artists, say their supporters. But naturally the police are not to be distracted by such arguments, and when the group overturned the seven police cars, it was decided that it was clearly time for the security forces to play their part. In November 2010, Vorotnikov and Nikolaev were duly arrested in a raid by the Extremism Police – a special police unit active on most towns in Russia – on the flat where they were staying in Moscow. Handcuffed and laid on the floor of a minibus for the ten-hour drive to St Petersburg, Vorotnikov and Nikolaev were then charged with “aggravated hooliganism” and “incitement of hatred of a social group” (the police) and held in a pre-trial detention prison. The pair were freed on bail after three months, following a campaign both in Russia and elsewhere – Banksy raised some £80,000 (US$127,738) to pay for lawyers, bail and to support the group’s further activity. Days later, the Innovation award nominations were announced. http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/section-blog/43022-russian-anarchist-guerrilla-artists-from-the-voina-art-collective-The whole Voina lifestyle and narrative are something of a performance; it is about... more

Because of the deliberately dishonest and even vile portrayals of the leader in the controlled media, not much is known regarding Qaddafi's political thoughts and his guiding ideology. He is described in the media as a dictator, yet in 'The Green Book', Qaddafi outlines the actual governing foundation that undergirds the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya. That foundation is The Third Universal Theory 'which upon critical analysis' puts many so-called Western Democracies and Republics to shame......... http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/recent-news/43007-how-libyan-democracy-puts-western-democracy-to-shameBecause of the deliberately dishonest and even vile portrayals of the leader in the... more

Good News, Everyone! Yesterday, there were local elections in the German country of Niedersachsen, and 59 (fifty-nine) seats were captured by the German Piratenpartei. This is a terrific result — the German Piratenpartei is on a roll right now. Next weekend, on the elections this coming Sunday, we expect the Piratenpartei to take seats in the Parliament in Berlin. It is absolutely amazing that we are taking the political jobs of those who are defending monopolies, locked-down culture and knowledge, and the erosion of civil liberties all over Europe at this rate. http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/free-stuff/43006-german-piratenpartei-in-the-parliamentGood News, Everyone!

A man who has spent a lifetime in politics should have learned more about how one should conduct one’s self in public. Profanity-laden tirades —while one wallows in character defamation of the growing number of scientists who are willing to risk their careers to disagree with the theories that have become the ideological core of the environmental movement — ought to be beneath Gore, but apparently it is not. In truth, if it were not for the high office which was once entrusted to him, it would be easier to simply feel pity for Al Gore.A man who has spent a lifetime in politics should have learned more about how one... more

Now, the corporations and banks have us by the throat and are going coming in for the KILL, while continuing the transfer of our wealth to themselves. The criminally militant corporations and banksters have engineered government response plans for any who oppose the theft of the public's money! While they march on with our government conspirators, to take away the benefits we receive from our money, so that they can continue to transfer our money to their bank accounts, they have systematically conceived of, and designed, ways to prevent all of us from making a public protest to their rape of the public and the theft of our money. They have planned to prevent any mass public protest of any financial actions they take. They have agreed to not issue permits for public protests whenever it relates to financial issues. ( The very idea that the public needs a permit to protest on their own public property is a violation of our natural rights to begin with. That was their first step to suppressing the public voicing it's opposition to government criminal action. We should not need a permit to voice our objections, that merely restricts what we may ever voice our opinions about! ,) Now they have determined to force any would be public protest into penned areas, whereupon they can further coral and more easily arrest protesters, clearing them from public view. They do not want the television viewing public seeing that PEOPLE are objecting to the financial decisions being made for them, because that may start other people thinking about the transfer of their wealth without benefits that is occurring. Read what Michael Ratner writes about how our government is taking away yet one more of our constitutional rights:

As it becomes ever so increasingly clear that the mega corporations and banks have not only been systematically committing crimes against humanity, the earth, individual nations, and national treasures, specifically engineering massive financial losses to the public, perpetrating massive frauds upon the public, creating international financial crisis and hardships, and even instigating and engineering international conflicts and war, these mega corporations and banks are de facto enemies of the PEOPLE of the world. As enemies of the people of the world, we are obliged and compelled to boycott and never purchase products with well known labels that belong to mega corporations. It is our patriotic and humane duty to identify and purchase products made by smaller socially responsible companies and individual proprietors. While this alone will not stop or correct the sins and evils which these criminal and predatory corporations and banks do to earth and it's inhabitants, it will be one very effective prong in a multiple prong resistance to their march for world domination. Buy generic and small socially responsible labels only. Let's at least make an effort to bankrupt our enemies!

A more blatant example of the courts advocating for economic interests over the welfare of the public has rarely been seen.
"A federal appeals court panel on Friday delivered a sharp rebuke to the Securities and Exchange Commission by throwing out a recently approved regulation that would have made it easier for shareholders to oust corporate directors."
The result is to eliminate any form of accountability for corporate executives to shareholders.
