This weekend Australian police will be “locking down” Melbourne and breathe testing as many people as they can. It is strongly advised to avoid driving in Melbourne this weekend.

Over the coming 3 weeks Australian police will be conducting the same exercise in all major cities around Australia.
Warn as many people as you can about this to minimize the amount of revenue they earn from this exercise.
If you work in a bar/club you should take it upon yourself to warn your patrons of the dangers they will encounter on the way home.

We all need to take some form of action in order to stop this dictatorial censorship the government is forcing on us. Here’s what you can do:

Contact Senator Conroy - this will let him know that we as Australians do not agree with his unfeasible plan. You can write him a letter addressed to:-

Senator Stephen Conroy
Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy
Level 4, 4 Treasury Place
Melbourne Vic 3002

Or call him on (03) 9650 1188.

If you are not sure what you want to write, there are sample letters available at www.nocleanfeed.com or www.nocleanfeedforum.com

You should only use these letters as a template, as a personalized letter is so much more effective.

You can also email the Minister, although this is not as effective as a letter or phone call. His email address is minister@dbcde.gov.au

You can contact your local representative. They represent you and want to hear your concerns. To find your local member’s address go to http://www.aph.gov.au/house/members/index.htm

Contact your ISP. They can document your concerns to help them in their quest to stop this technically impractical idea. ISP’s don’t want this to happen. It will make their job so much harder, and we will have to bear the cost.

Visit the site http://www.wakinggiant.org/au_censorship.htm for detailed information on what this ridiculous internet filter will do to Australia and for information on how to sign the official Petition.

Also visit http://www.efa.org.au (the Electronic Frontiers Australia website) for even more info about the filter and why it is impractical and wont work. Have a look at the video clip on the post “EFA’s Dale Clapperton on Sunrise” to see an excellent 2 minute summing up of the censorship idea.

The filter is just another way for the government to control us. The propaganda about protecting our children is just a front. They know full well children can bypass the filter with no technical skill required and they also know that children can easily go into chat rooms and find out anything they want and download it through P2P networks, the filter will not stop this.

In addition, there is plenty of free software available to download from the government’s website to block porn sites and whatever else parents don’t want their kids looking at. It is not up to the government to act as a parent to everyone, it is perfectly legal for adults to look at porn if they want to (for example). Blocking everyone will only slow our Internet down to below dial-up speeds and put Australia’s productivity way back below where it is. If you have an Internet business you can say goodbye to that.

They want to waste $44 million during this “economic crisis” that we are hearing so much about, meanwhile they are ignoring other major problems like hospitals being  in dire need of funding. No government even knows how many more beds are needed in their hospitals to make them functional again. They haven’t even looked into it.

All they care about is control. They are blocking sites with “illegal” content and also “unwanted” content. What is this unwanted content they are talking about? No-one knows. They wont tell anyone. Tests show that filters block legal sites and well as illegal ones, and also that illegal ones can slip through.

I was happy when Kevin Rudd first became Prime Minister. But now after what he is doing to our country I have changed my opinion of him entirely. He’s going to turn us into China.

AN INVESTIGATION has been launched into how recycled water, not fit for drinking, became supplied to taps, showers and water appliances at the Gold Coast’s Pimpama treatment plant.
The Sunday Mail has obtained a “high importance” email from Gold Coast Water director Richard Went sent to staff about the health scare.

Council sources late yesterday said Gold Coast Water staff were visiting their doctors after learning they had been drinking the water since September.
“We know of one who is sick. They’re going to their doctors. This is so wrong, we’re going to be drinking this stuff,” the source said.

“If they can get this small thing mucked up, what are they going to do to the rest of us when recycled water is introduced?”

Gold Coast Mayor Ron Clarke yesterday said he could understand the concerns, but extra checks would be made once recycled water was introduced into southeast Queensland’s $9 billion water grid.
Cr Clarke said the cause of the Pimpama incident was being determined, but it appeared to have occurred after an apprentice mixed up waste-water lines directed into the plant.

About 200 employees visiting the facility and 40 staffers working in the control room may have drunk the water not fit for human consumption.
“We’re contacting all the staff. Three had some queasiness and they still went to work and thought nothing of it,” Cr Clarke said.

“Initial investigations indicated the recycled water was supplied into the office building from early September until it was discovered and subsequently disconnected today,” Mr Went said in an email to staff on Friday.
He said Gold Coast Water had acted quickly to switch off the faulty supply and Queensland Health was informed.

THE FLUORIDATION HOAX BOX

“How dangerous can they get?”

By Glen S.R. Walker

A box full of fluoride myths and unsubstantiated scientific nonsense. A poor dental quality sales pitch by spin doctors for human parrots to use.

The big Fluoridation Push is on, Australia planned to become the only country in the world to have exclusive compulsory artificial fluoridation of all drinking water supplies throughout the whole of Australia.

Let us look at the SCIENTIFIC BASIS of this illegal medication and drugging of a population.

The experts have spoken! Let us examine the quality of their statements.

Brisbane is the centre-piece of their aggressive attack, obviously to change this only Capital City in Australia without fluoridation.

Brisbane is an embarrassment to the fluoride pushers because it can be used scientifically as a Control City in dental research comparing all other fluoridated Capitals throughout Australia. This could be bad.

Fluoridation stands alone in the History of Medicine and Politics throughout the world of science, where honesty has been abandoned for short-term commercial profit, leaving the long-term problems to others, similar to so many medicines, drugs, poisons, where future generations are suffering - as in today’s sad and indeed disgusting evidence of over 100 years use of asbestos, not forgetting thalidomide, D.D.T., Lead in Petrol, etc. etc.

Admitting the dreadful harm from asbestos, the health danger known for about 100 years, we could fill pages with hundreds of other drugs, medicines, treatments and chemicals causing similar human disaster, but the Governments and their Agencies are free of any accountability, even though they alone are responsible for allowing these into the public arena.

How is it humanly possible for a doctor of medicine; any politician of respectability to his electorate; any Prime Minister as the country’s first person of greatest trust; or organisations such as the N.H. and M.R.C.; A.M.A.; A.D.A.; Pharmacology; The Therapeutic Goods Administration; Federal Parliament; State Parliaments; Councils around Australia and Universities, all of whom support the addition to public drinking water supplies of toxic fluoride by-product chemicals, that are not Registered or Licensed for human use anywhere in the world?

Has Common Law been deprived of its sacred character of human protection, even if necessary for use against those in positions of trust, enjoying the privilege of power, supposedly on behalf of the people, especially guarding that democratic important basis of human rights in a democratic country?

People are the Australian mushroom population in the eyes of the fluoride mafia.

Who is looking after you?

The fluoride mafia is skilled in presentation, such as the articles published in Brisbane newspapers about baby teeth being “yanked out” because their water is not being fluoridated.

They present a picture of mothers lined up each day at the hospital with their babies to have all their “rotten” teeth “yanked out”.

This is unique but dishonest propaganda, when claiming this is happening only in Brisbane.

The truth, which is not of interest to the Brisbane fluoride propagandists, is that in fluoridated Perth about 20 young children each week are having their teeth removed.

The “West Australian”, 24th July, 2004, published an article,

“Children’s teeth spoilt rotten”.

“Toddlers as young as one are having general anaesthetics to remove or crown rotten teeth.”

FACT: (Take note Brisbane people)

Perth has been fluoridated since 1968 - a period of 36 years of compulsory fluoridation, which makes fools of the fluoride “experts” in Brisbane.

Each fluoridated Capital City in Australia is having the same problem with young children’s teeth, which highlights the erroneous fluoride propaganda published in Brisbane.

In fluoridated Perth, “toddlers as young as one are having general anaesthetics to remove or crown rotten teeth.”

West Australian, 24th July, 2004.

With dental decay increasing throughout Australia “in spite of fluoridation”, the grand fluoride followers’ claims have decayed accordingly. We are now into a war of words used by the fluoride mafia to “cover up” the failure of compulsory artificial fluoridation.

Although there were never any original “qualifications” relating to their fluoridation claims, now after 50 years usage in Australia, the dental fluoride disciples are in a fierce battle of survival to cover up the myth of fluoridation and their professional “integrity”.

They limp from one crisis to another, manipulating the public thinking, ably supported by limitless media space and time, with little permitted opposition.

The Fluoridation History of Brisbane is interesting but quite typical of all other cities and towns in Australia.

History repeats itself in dental claims and their fluoridation statements, laid to rest, but quickly resurrected at what “they” see as an appropriate time, hoping people have forgotten the past dismal performance of Brisbane dentists during the 1980’s.

The Brisbane Sunday Mail, 2nd July, 1989, published an article headed in very large print -

CHILD TEETH SURVEY: BRISBANE CAN SMILE

“Brisbane children’s teeth are healthier than those in Melbourne, where they have fluoride in the water supply, according to figures released from the Federal Health Department.”

“The figures collected in a child dental health survey among primary school pupils aged 5 to 13 show Melbourne children drank fluoridated water, but had worse tooth decay than Brisbane children on non-fluoridated water.”

This official Federal Government dental data was published after a concerted A.D.A. propaganda campaign attempting the same tactics as today’s effort of presenting mythical dental statistics for and against fluoridation.

Further official dental data relating to Brisbane children’s teeth was given prominence in another article Brisbane Sunday Sun, 6th April, 1989 with this large heading:

“OUR KIDS TOOTHY WONDERS”

“Queensland children have fewer decayed, missing or filled teeth than any other Australian children, Queensland University researchers said today. Social and Preventive Dentistry Department researchers, Professor Robin Powell and Associate Professor Greg Seymour, said the State’s children had reached a World Health Organisation tooth-decay elimination target 10 years ahead of deadline.

Professor Powell said surveys showed the average 12-year-old had fewer than two decayed, missing or filled teeth - or DMF.

Nursing bottle caries is where children are put to bed with a sweet drink in a bottle, causing their teeth to rot, Prof. Powell said.”

Today’s story of “young children in Brisbane having all their teeth ‘yanked out’ because of no fluoride in the drinking water” is scientifically and statistically destroyed by the Sunday Mail article that stated:

In fluoride-free Brisbane, children’s teeth are healthier than those in fluoridated Melbourne.

“The number of decayed, missing, indicated for extraction or filled teeth in Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide was 1.1, compared with 1.3 in Melbourne for the same period.”

These kind of REAL DENTAL FACTS was answered by Peter Ryan, Chairman, Queensland Fluoridation Committee who said:

“A number of factors could explain why Brisbane children’s teeth had less decay.”

Before publishing his expert dental explanation, note he admitted:

“Brisbane children had less decay.”

Peter Ryan’s Statement on Dental Decay

“Studies in the U.S. have found that people living nearer the equator have less decay, but no one is really sure why.” (The Sunday Mail, 2nd July, 1989)

Something strange has happened during the 14 years since these data on Brisbane children’s teeth were so classified by the Federal Government, and Ryan’s equator story “yanked” out of circulation.

Perhaps we may take licence and suggest the quality of the Brisbane teeth have not altered, but the type of research studies has changed to rectify the obvious embarrassment!

Serious scientific embarrassment for dentists and the fluoride pushers never stops, but they always saddle up again as though nothing has proven them wrong.

When the Brisbane Lord Mayor’s Task Force researched fluoridation during 1997 the A.D.A. presented their claims which were supported with a study by Spencer, Davies, Stewart and Slade (Adelaide University).

“Caries experiences among children in fluoridated Townsville and unfluoridated Brisbane.” Published in Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health 1966. Vol. 20 No. 6.

Reading their 7 page official dossier presented to The Lord Mayor’s Task Force on Fluoridation, one finds on page 1:

“Riordan reported on 11-12 year-olds with different fluoride exposures in West Australia.”

“He found higher caries prevalence in the permanent dentition in children in unfluoridated Bunbury than in children in fluoridated Perth.”

So, on page one we find this study comparing populations of significant differences, a matter of failure to comply with rules of statistics which state such studies must be performed only with very similar populations.

It is not scientifically acceptable to compare populations of such differences as Perth 1,244,320, Bunbury 28,000, and also at the same time be aware and consider the socio-economic factor that was also significantly different.

Their main dental data related to Brisbane and Townsville, but here again we find a scientific and statistical error in comparing two cities of such different population and socio-economic differences.

The Population Factor

BRISBANE 1,000,000 -TOWNSVILLE 90,000

However, the authors after attempting a favourable fluoridation outcome with the Lord Mayor’s Task Force, expected the Committee to vote accordingly to fluoridate Brisbane’s drinking water supplies. The quality of their presentation collapsed on the final page of their “Research”.

“A difference of 0.25 (one quarter) surface in the permanent dentition probably constitutes a minor effect at the level of an individual patient in the age range studied here.”

On this kind of official dental study showing a difference of one quarter (1/4) of a tooth surface per child, we now find the fluoride pushers want another similar study in Brisbane. (Courier Mail, 21st July, 2004).

Is there a “hope” in the fluoridation camp that they can again change the “official” dental data and without REAL science and proper statistics, declare fluoridation not only safe and effective but teeth of Brisbane’s children have dramatically changed in the past 8 years?

Perhaps at this moment the reader should consider the Lord Mayor’s 1997 Brisbane Task Force on Fluoridation conclusion, page 88-5:

“Research evidence showed the complexity of trying to separately identify the benefits of water fluoridation alone, as illustrated by the recent comparison study of children in Brisbane and Townsville. (University of Adelaide).”

Further conclusions were of vital health warning!

“The evidence relating to what constituted a safe or toxic dose of fluoride was uncertain and confusing. A majority of Task Force members were concerned that the margin of safety between a safe and toxic dose may not be sufficiently wide.” (Emphasis added)

Dental “studies” by fluoridation dental hierarchy fail in their conclusions because of five important factors, (1) Pharmacology, (2) Statistics, (3) Dose, (4) Examiners qualifications, (5) The high variables never considered.

Taken together or separately, one finds the fluoridation data from the fluoride pushers astonishing in size, intellectually and scientifically unsubstantiated in their audacious hope of their title, “The untouchables”.

The fluoride “untouchables” are intellectually impervious to any scientific evidence relating to fluoridation which is no surprise considering the “actual” content of their team of promoters.

Fluoridation in this democratic Country is a case of “political transparency” being a one-way mirror.

Global Cooling is Here Evidence for Predicting Global Cooling for the Next Three Decades by Prof. Don J. Easterbrook

Global Research Editor’s note The following article represents an alternative view and analysis of global climate change, which challenges the dominant Global Warming Consensus. Global Research does not necessarily endorse the proposition of “Global Cooling”, nor does it accept at face value the Consensus on Global Warming. Our purpose is to encourage a more balanced debate on the topic of global climate change. INTRODUCTION Despite no global warming in 10 years and recording setting cold in 2007-2008, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climatic Change (IPCC) and computer modelers who believe that CO2 is the cause of global warming still predict the Earth is in store for catastrophic warming in this century. IPCC computer models have predicted global warming of 1° F per decade and 5-6° C (10-11° F) by 2100 (Fig. 1), which would cause global catastrophe with ramifications for human life, natural habitat, energy and water resources, and food production. All of this is predicated on the assumption that global warming is caused by increasing atmospheric CO2 and that CO2 will continue to rise rapidly. Figure 1. A. IPCC prediction of global warming early in the 21st century. B. IPCC prediction of global warming to 2100. (Sources: IPCC website) However, records of past climate changes suggest an altogether different scenario for the 21st century. Rather than drastic global warming at a rate of 0.5 ° C (1° F) per decade, historic records of past natural cycles suggest global cooling for the first several decades of the 21st century to about 2030, followed by global warming from about 2030 to about 2060, and renewed global cooling from 2060 to 2090 (Easterbrook, D.J., 2005, 2006a, b, 2007, 2008a, b); Easterbrook and Kovanen, 2000, 2001). Climatic fluctuations over the past several hundred years suggest ~30 year climatic cycles of global warming and cooling, on a general rising trend from the Little Ice Age. PREDICTIONS BASED ON PAST CLIMATE PATTERNS Global climate changes have been far more intense (12 to 20 times as intense in some cases) than the global warming of the past century, and they took place in as little as 20–100 years. Global warming of the past century (0.8° C) is virtually insignificant when compared to the magnitude of at least 10 global climate changes in the past 15,000 years. None of these sudden global climate changes could possibly have been caused by human CO2 input to the atmosphere because they all took place long before anthropogenic CO2 emissions began. The cause of the ten earlier ‘natural’ climate changes was most likely the same as the cause of global warming from 1977 to 1998. Figure 2. Climate changes in the past 17,000 years from the GISP2 Greenland ice core. Red = warming, blue = cooling. (Modified from Cuffy and Clow, 1997) Climatic fluctuations over the past several hundred years suggest ~30 year climatic cycles of global warming and cooling (Figure 3) on a generally rising trend from the Little Ice Age about 500 years ago. Figure 3. Alternating warm and cool cycles since 1470 AD. Blue = cool, red = warm. Based on oxygen isotope ratios from the GISP2 Greenland ice core. Relationships between glacial fluctuations, the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, and global climate change. After several decades of studying alpine glacier fluctuations in the North Cascade Range, my research showed a distinct pattern of glacial advances and retreats (the Glacial Decadal Oscillation, GDO) that correlated well with climate records. In 1992, Mantua published the Pacific Decadal Oscillation curve showing warming and cooling of the Pacific Ocean that correlated remarkably well with glacial fluctuations. Both the GDA and the PDO matched global temperature records and were obviously related (Fig. 4). All but the latest 30 years of changes occurred prior to significant CO2 emissions so they were clearly unrelated to atmospheric CO2. Figure 4. Correspondence of the GDO, PDO, and global temperature variations. The significance of the correlation between the GDO, PDO, and global temperature is that once this connection has been made, climatic changes during the past century can be understood, and the pattern of glacial and climatic fluctuations over the past millennia can be reconstructed. These patterns can then be used to project climatic changes in the future. Using the pattern established for the past several hundred years, in 1998 I projected the temperature curve for the past century into the next century and came up with curve ‘A’ in Figure 5 as an approximation of what might be in store for the world if the pattern of past climate changes continued. Ironically, that prediction was made in the warmest year of the past three decades and at the acme of the 1977-1998 warm period. At that time, the projected curved indicated global cooling beginning about 2005 ± 3-5 years until about 2030, then renewed warming from about 2030 to about 2060 (unrelated to CO2—just continuation of the natural cycle), then another cool period from about 2060 to about 2090. This was admittedly an approximation, but it was radically different from the 1° F per decade warming called for by the IPCC. Because the prediction was so different from the IPCC prediction, time would obviously show which projection was ultimately correct. Now a decade later, the global climate has not warmed 1° F as forecast by the IPCC but has cooled slightly until 2007-08 when global temperatures turned sharply downward. In 2008, NASA satellite imagery (Figure 6) confirmed that the Pacific Ocean had switched from the warm mode it had been in since 1977 to its cool mode, similar to that of the 1945-1977 global cooling period. The shift strongly suggests that the next several decades will be cooler, not warmer as predicted by the IPCC. Figure 5. Global temperature projection for the coming century, based on warming/cooling cycles of the past several centuries. ‘A’ projection based on assuming next cool phase will be similar to the 1945-1977 cool phase. ‘B’ projection based on assuming next cool phase will be similar to the 1880-1915 cool phase. The predicted warm cycle from 2030 to 2060 is based on projection of the 1977 to 1998 warm phase and the cooling phase from 2060 to 2090 is based on projection of the 1945 to 1977 cool cycle. Implications of PDO, NAO, GDO, and sun spot cycles for global climate in coming decades The IPCC prediction of global temperatures, 1° F warmer by 2011 and 2° F by 2038 (Fig. 1), stand little chance of being correct. NASA’s imagery showing that the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) has shifted to its cool phase is right on schedule as predicted by past climate and PDO changes (Easterbrook, 2001, 2006, 2007). The PDO typically lasts 25-30 years and assures North America of cool, wetter climates during its cool phases and warmer, drier climates during its warm phases. The establishment of the cool PDO, together with similar cooling of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), virtually assures several decades of global cooling and the end of the past 30-year warm phase. It also means that the IPCC predictions of catastrophic global warming this century were highly inaccurate. The switch of PDO cool mode to warm mode in 1977 initiated several decades of global warming. The PDO has now switched from its warm mode (where it had been since 1977) into its cool mode. As shown on the graph above, each time this had happened in the past century, global temperature has followed. The upper map shows cool ocean temperatures in blue (note the North American west coast). The lower diagram shows how the PDO has switched back and forth from warm to cool modes in the past century, each time causing global temperature to follow. Comparisons of historic global climate warming and cooling over the past century with PDO and NAO oscillations, glacial fluctuations, and sun spot activity show strong correlations and provide a solid data base for future climate change projections. The Pacific Ocean has a warm temperature mode and a cool temperature mode, and in the past century, has switched back forth between these two modes every 25-30 years (known as the Pacific Decadal Oscillation or PDO). In 1977 the Pacific abruptly shifted from its cool mode (where it had been since about 1945) into its warm mode, and this initiated global warming from 1977 to 1998. The correlation between the PDO and global climate is well established. The announcement by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory that the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) had shifted to its cool phase is right on schedule as predicted by past climate and PDO changes (Easterbrook, 2001, 2006, 2007). The PDO typically lasts 25-30 years and assures North America of cool, wetter climates during its cool phases and warmer, drier climates during its warm phases. The establishment of the cool PDO, together with similar cooling of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), virtually assures several decades of global cooling and the end of the past 30-year warm phase. Figure 6. Switch of PDO cool mode to warm mode in 1977 initiated several decades of global warming. The PDO has now switched from its warm mode (where it had been since 1977) into its cool mode. As shown on the graph above, each time this has happened in the past century, global temperature has followed. The upper map shows cool ocean temperatures in blue (note the North American west coast). The lower diagram shows how the PDO has switched back and forth from warm to cool modes in the past century, each time causing global temperature to follow. Projection of the past pattern (right end of graph) assures 30 yrs of global cooling Comparisons of historic global climate warming and cooling over the past century with PDO and NAO oscillations, glacial fluctuations, and sun spot activity show strong correlations and provide a solid data base for future climate change projections. As shown by the historic pattern of GDOs and PDOs over the past century and by corresponding global warming and cooling, the pattern is part of ongoing warm/cool cycles that last 25-30 years. The global cooling phase from 1880 to 1910, characterized by advance of glaciers worldwide, was followed by a shift to the warm-phase PDO for 30 years, global warming and rapid glacier recession. The cool-phase PDO returned in ~1945 accompanied by global cooling and glacial advance for 30 years. Shift to the warm-phase PDO in 1977 initiated global warming and recession of glaciers that persisted until 1998. Recent establishment of the PDO cool phase appeared right on target and assuming that its effect will be similar to past history, global climates can be expected to cool over the next 25-30 years. The global warming of this century is exactly in phase with the normal climatic pattern of cyclic warming and cooling and we have now switched from a warm phase to a cool phase right at the predicted time (Fig. 5) The ramifications of the global cooling cycle for the next 30 years are far reaching―e.g., failure of crops in critical agricultural areas (it’s already happening this year), increasing energy demands, transportation difficulties, and habitat change. All this during which global population will increase from six billion to about nine billion. The real danger in spending trillions of dollars trying to reduce atmospheric CO2 is that little will be left to deal with the very real problems engendered by global cooling. CONCLUSIONS Global warming (i.e, the warming since 1977) is over. The minute increase of anthropogenic CO2 in the atmosphere (0.008%) was not the cause of the warming—it was a continuation of natural cycles that occurred over the past 500 years. The PDO cool mode has replaced the warm mode in the Pacific Ocean, virtually assuring us of about 30 years of global cooling, perhaps much deeper than the global cooling from about 1945 to 1977. Just how much cooler the global climate will be during this cool cycle is uncertain. Recent solar changes suggest that it could be fairly severe, perhaps more like the 1880 to 1915 cool cycle than the more moderate 1945-1977 cool cycle. A more drastic cooling, similar to that during the Dalton and Maunder minimums, could plunge the Earth into another Little Ice Age, but only time will tell if that is likely. Don J.
