- New research suggests water fluoridation does not reduce cavities to a statistically significant degree in permanent teeth or baby teeth
- About 12 percent of those living in fluoridated areas had dental fluorosis that was an “aesthetic concern”
- There is no discernible difference in tooth decay between developed countries that fluoridate their water and those that do not

Horror: ISIS booby-traps baby to explode
NSFW (GRAPHIC CONTENT)
ISIS has become known for its depraved attacks on Christians and other people of other faiths in the Middle East that include sexual assault, crucifixion, beheading and even the killing of children by sword or gun.
But a new report reveals that the Muslim organization marching across Iraq and Syria, claiming territory and portraying itself as a caliphate of Islam, has descended even further.
To the level of booby-trapping and exploding an infant.
The report comes from the website of former Palestinian terrorist-turned Christian Walid Shoebat.
Shoebat on Monday cited Arabic language news sources in the Middle East reporting that in Iraq, Diyala Province Security Committee Chairman Sadiq el-Husseini said, according to Al-Sumeriah News, that ISIS “booby trapped the baby north of Shirqat in the Saladin Province and then in front of tens of armed ISIS men detonated it from afar.”
The report, according to Shoebat, added that the baby’s father was executed just weeks ago for participating in the killing of an ISIS member.
Shoebat said the baby was then rigged and then detonated as part of a training exercise by ISIS to teach its fighters booby-trapping techniques.

Leaked Documents Show FBI, DEA, & Army Can Control Your Computer
Carey Wedler
July 7, 2015
(ANTIMEDIA) Leaked emails from an Italian-based hacking company reveal that government agencies engage in surveillance more invasive than previously thought, spending millions of dollars on spyware and malware software to accomplish their questionable goals. Tellingly, their use of the product places them squarely in the same category as other repressive regimes around the world.
After hackers ironically hacked Hacking Team, a Milan-based company that sells strictly to governments, hundreds of gigabytes of emails and financial records were leaked. The emails show that the FBI, DEA, and U.S. Army all purchased software that enables them to view suspects’ photos, emails, listen to and record their conversations, and activate the cameras on their computers, among other things.
While this may seem like old news, the most controversial revelation
was the government’s purchases of “Remote Control Systems.” The FBI,
DEA, and U.S. Army, courtesy of Hacking Team, possess the capability to
take control of a suspect’s computer screen. The technology is so
invasive that even the DEA, known for its violative surveillance policies, had reservations about purchasing it.
According to documents obtained by The Intercept, an internal request to purchase RCS was denied by DEA management in 2011 because it was “too controversial.” By 2012, however, the DEA had resolved its concerns, likely spending a similar amount to the $773,226.64 (plus thousands in maintenance fees) the FBI invested in its own set of software.
Hacking Team was so committed to business with these American agencies that it concocted codenames to refer to them. As The Intercept summarizes,
“Hacking Team refers to its U.S. clients by code names. The FBI unit is ‘Phoebe’…the DEA is ‘Katie,’ and the CIA, which appears to have sampled, but not bought Remote Control System, is ‘Marianne.’”
Hacking Team has been sharply criticized for its sale of RCS to oppressive regimes around the world. From Sudan to Bahrain, Hacking Team seeks business opportunities with rulers that target political activists, journalists, and political opponents—putting the American government agencies that employ the same technology—and often have the same objectives— in questionable company.
Aside from RCS, one of the more contentious revelations is the company’s hard sell that it can bypass encryption, a capability the FBI has openly desired since phone companies made encryption a default setting last year. According to one company newsletter, Hacking Team offers “technologies to ACCESS THE DATA…IN CLEARTEXT, BEFORE it gets encrypted by the device and sent to the network and AFTER it is received from the network and decrypted by the device itself. Actually, THIS IS precisely WHAT WE DO.”
The FBI did seek warrants to use Hacking Team technology in a handful of cases, but apparently uses a different platform for “critical” investigations. What the FBI really wanted from the Italian firm, according to leaked emails, was “more ability to go after users of Tor, the anonymizing web browser.” Such users accounted for 60% of the FBI’s use of Hacking Team products.
Regardless of how the technology is used, the FBI has encountered skepticism from lawmakers. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, asked the director of the FBI for “more specific information about the FBI’s current use of spyware,” in order for the Senate Judiciary Committee to investigate “serious privacy concerns.”
In spite of these legitimate concerns, the technology is permeating other levels of government. Largely because of aggressive marketing by Hacking Team, District Attorney offices around the country are eager to use the software. From San Bernadino to Manhattan, government lawyers have expressed strong interest in using the company’s products for investigations, suggesting a dangerous permeation of unconstitutional surveillance into an already decaying justice system.
Whether or not the government agencies who have purchased the software use it extensively or not is, at this point, irrelevant. That such bureaus and government officials have so much as the desire to use it–in some cases, in spite of a clear understanding of its controversial nature—is cause enough for concern.
Meanwhile, Hacking Team has remained ambivalent. Company spokesperson Eric Rabe said, “we do not disclose the names or locations of our clients” and “we cannot comment on the validity of documents purportedly from our company.”
More telling of the company’s rationalization of perpetuating authoritarianism in the name of profit, however, is a quote from Giancarlo Russo, the company’s chief operating officer. In a 2013 email, he wrote,
“If you buy a Ferrari… they can teach you how to drive. They cannot grant you will be the winner of the race…If Beretta sell [sic] you a gun, the most peculiar and sophisticated one, they can teach how to use it. They can not grant you are going to shoot your target properly on the field.”

Benefits of beets documented to defeat cancer
Beets have long been known as a healthy source of nutrients, but – now, more than ever – scientific evidence continues to support beets as a natural cure for cancer. Labeled “beet root chemotherapy” by some health experts, actual scientific research reveals the astounding cases of remission in cancer patients who were given high concentrations of beet root.
This root vegetable, best known for its red color, has been enjoyed in various forms for generations as a healthy source of iron, as well as potassium, phosphorus, calcium, sulfur, magnesium, iodine and a number of trace minerals. But, the combination of certain elements found only in specific combinations and concentrations within the beet give this veggie its cancer fighting and disease preventing power.

Pope Francis slams GMO and chemical companies for destroying health and environment for profit
A controversial new encyclical by Pope Francis set for release by the
Vatican casts blame for worsening environmental damage on technology
that is in common use today. In particular, the pontiff blames
agricultural and fossil fuel technology for destroying ecosystems and
changing the planet's climate patterns.
In addition, the Holy See's encyclical hits GMOs and pesticides as it calls for the financing of independent and interdisciplinary research to study their effects.
"It is difficult to give an overall judgment on the development of genetically modified organisms (GMO), plant or animal, for medical purposes or in agriculture, since they can be very different and require different considerations," says the encyclical, according to a version that was leaked prior to its official issuance.
"GMOs is an issue which is complex, it must be approached with a sympathetic look at all its aspects, and this requires at least one more effort to finance several lines of independent and interdisciplinary research... as we have seen in this chapter, the technique is unlikely to be able to ...self-limit its power," he wrote, according to the leaked version.
That, in turn, "creates a vicious circle in which the intervention of the human being to solve a problem often worsens the situation further," he continued. "For example, many birds and insects die out as a result of toxic pesticides created by technology, they are useful to agriculture itself, and their disappearance will be compensated with another technological intervention that probably will bring new harmful effects..."
The pope also discusses the effects of GMO agriculture on the poor, the independent farmer and the non-corporate operation:
Although we do not have definitive evidence about the damage that transgenic cereals could cause to humans, and in some regions their use has produced economic growth that has helped solve some problems, there are significant problems that should not be minimized. In many areas, following the introduction of these crops, there has been a concentration of productive land in the hands of the few, due to the gradual disappearance of small producers, who, as a consequence of the loss of cultivated land, have been forced to retreat from direct production.
He said that temporary workers and many farm workers who migrate to perform their duties often "end up in miserable urban settlements," and technology doesn't seem to be improving their condition much.
The encyclical has been criticized by a number of scientists and other experts largely for pushing the climate change agenda. In that respect, the pope's encyclical asserts that climate change is real, that it is being caused by mankind, and that the earth is growing warmer due to man-caused activity.
However, many note that such assertions don't jibe with factual climate data, including the most recent refutation of global warming based on 10-year data from the United States' most advanced climate tracking station operated by the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Nevertheless, the pope's encyclical contains some important discussion points that ought to be widely considered instead of simply dismissed out of hand, especially his concerns that too many of the world's financial resources are being concentrated in too few hands.

Solving problems in a way that creates new ones
In addition, he said that humans "get sick" after inhaling large amounts of smoke that is produced by the use of fossil fuels "for cooking and heating." That is compounded by the use of "fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides, herbicides and toxic pesticides." He further observed that while technology is often useful in solving some problems, it usually creates other problems.That, in turn, "creates a vicious circle in which the intervention of the human being to solve a problem often worsens the situation further," he continued.

Global warming assertion doesn't jibe with actual data
"The spread of these (GM) crops destroys the complex web of ecosystems, decreases diversity in production and affects the present and the future of regional economies," he wrote. "In several countries there is a trend in the development of oligopolies in the production of seeds and other products needed for cultivation, and the dependence deepens when you consider the production of sterile seeds, which end up forcing farmers to buy (seeds) from producers."The encyclical has been criticized by a number of scientists and other experts largely for pushing the climate change agenda.
