The Final Insult to the American People Fluoridation and Betrayal of the People by Public Officials

As though adding a Toxic substance, a deadly poison, to the drinking water for the people were not sufficient in itself, we now have as a side issue, but proper companion to it, betrayal of the trust of the people by public officials. Is this true?

To sustain our contention, we quote from The Lebanon Daily News, March 1, 1958, a news item which appeared under the heading of:

"Residents Unknowingly Drink Plan They Rejected(1)

"Atlantic City, N.J. (UP) - Residents here, who rejected a Fluoridated plan four years ago have been unknowingly drinking fluoridated water for the past two weeks without registering a single complaint.(2)

"A fluoridation plan was rejected in 1954 by a two-to-one majority, but the city commission passed an ordinance ordering the process in 1956.(3) "Richard S. Jackson, a city commissioner said Monday the chemical was put in the drinking water two weeks ago without a public announcement to avoid `any further complaints.'(4)

"Since that time," Jackson said "they haven't had a single complaint about the taste."(5)

-------------------------------------------------
(1) We should like to hear the opinion of the respected citizens of Atlantic City who, as the people and taxpayers have been so grossly betrayed by their public officials. What has become of the solid Americanism of Lincoln: By the people, of the people, for the people? Has Marxism taken over completely? Do the people of Atlantic City take kindly to a Marxist supervision by a few? (2) Evidently the writer of this item is not aware that the evil affects of Sodium Fluoride may not be felt until five to twenty years of its ingestion. The people drinking this polluted water had no possible way of knowing what had been done against their will.

(3) This fluoridation having been started against the majority vote of the people, there no doubt is a good chance that they may sue for any damage to health that may occur as a result of drinking this water. One may question: What has become of rule or government by the people? Is that dead also?

(4) Is this not subterfuge of the worst kind? Is it anything but a sneaking betrayal of the public trust by its officials? If this act, considered by many, in this case the majority, is dangerous to health, can be imposed upon the people without the guilty suffering the proper punishment for their betrayal, then what is there that may not be done against the will of the people? Is this not government - control - by the few of the many, a subtle form of slavery?

(5) The taste would be the least objectionable feature. It is what this toxic substance will do to the little children before a certain age, and the sufferers of all ages of certain diseases. Are we at last confronted by the government of the few, and no longer by the majority? This defiance of public desire would so indicate, and it would not be Americanism, even if it were actually to the benefit of the people. It is mass medication against their will.
