The Fluoride Deception – Industrial Waste in your drinking water? Fake science? Government cover up?

The Fluoride Deception is a book by Christopher Bryson.

He covered Guatemalan Army human rights abuses from Central America in the late 1980’s for the BBC World Service, National Public Radio and The Atlanta Constitution.

Excerpt from Interview:
1. What prompted you to write “The Fluoride Deception”?
I’m a reporter. I don’t know how many modern stories have the same epic reach of history and rich cast of characters as you will find in “The Fluoride Deception.”
I stumbled on the story in 1993. I was working in New York as a BBC radio producer and was asked to find “an American angle” on water fluoridation. Ralph Nader put me in touch with a couple of government scientists (William Hirzy at the EPA and Robert Carton at the U.S. Army) who opposed water fluoridation, and explained how the science underpinning the nation’s fluoride safety standards was fraudulent…I just kept reporting.

David Ray Griffin on 9/11 – where do we stand today?

David Ray Griffin is emeritus professor of philosophy of religion and theology at Claremont School of Theology and Claremont Graduate University. He has published over 30 books, including Physics and the Ultimate Significance of Time, The Reenchantment of Science, Postmodern Politics for a Planet in Crisis, Jewish Theology and Process Thought, Religion and Scientific Naturalism, The New Pearl Harbor, and Whitehead’s Radically Different Postmodern Philosophy

He has been on the Monitor several times in the past and will return in the near future to offer a fuller accounting of the main contradictions contained within the official version(s) of 9/11

He has a new book out – do yourself a favor and read it!

“David Ray Griffin, writing specifically for members of Congress and the media, has presented the often incredible but true details of 25 major contradictions in the Bush administration’s accounts of 9/11. This book, based on careful research but written in a fast-moving, readable style, blows apart the notion that The 9/11 Commission Report presents an accurate account of what happened on September 11. It makes crystal clear the need for a new investigation.”
– Bill Christison, former senior CIA official

– Former CIA Analyst Ray McGovern on the Pope’s visit

Raymond McGovern (born 1939) is a retired CIA officer turned political activist. McGovern was a Federal employee under seven U.S. presidents over 27 years, presenting the morning intelligence briefings at the White House for many of them.

McGovern was a mid-level officer in the CIA in the 1960s where his focus was analysis of Soviet policy toward Vietnam. McGovern was one of President Ronald Reagan’s intelligence briefers from 1981-85; he was in charge of preparing daily security briefs for Reagan, Vice President George H.W. Bush, the National Security Advisor, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Cabinet. Later, McGovern was one of several senior CIA analysts who prepared the President’s Daily Brief (PDB) during the first Bush administration.

Upon retirement, McGovern was awarded the Intelligence Commendation Medal from Bush (which he later returned, see below) and worked for Washington-based non-profits before becoming co-director of the Servant Leadership School in Washington.
