FIVE YEARS ON

For some reason, and this could have something to do with numbers of fingers, five is a meaningful number for humans. Not quite as epic as 10, but an important number. So I like to use five as a number of significance.

On September 11 2006, I did a post saying "OK, that's it, it's been five years and if anyone hasn't yet grasped that 9.11 was in inside job I don't have the patience to deal with them, they will just have to work it out themselves". Then I removed all the 9.11 content from my website and moved on. 

It's harder to put an exact date on the start of the covidhoax, but that moronic story really seemed to kick into high gear at the start of 2020. That is now five years ago, and I feel like saying the same thing again.  "OK, that's it, it's been five years and if anyone hasn't yet grasped that covid is a hoax I don't have the patience to deal with them, they will just have to work it out themselves".

For some reason I've long held a desire to "educate the masses" and "wake up the sheeple" But 2025 feels different. For me at least, the previous years were for learning and preparing, while this year is the test. The real information is mostly still online, or recorded in books, easily downloaded from sites like Library Gen. 

But the spoon feeding is over, and while there are certain subjects I'm still aiming to be helpful with, like Linux, those are mainly things I don't really understand, and presenting information helps me to learn about them. 2025 is a new year, and there are a bunch of subjects I'm not going to be spending much time discussing anymore. 

In summary, the narratives are all false, and almost all the information we are being fed is fake. Do your own research. If you think Donald Trump is going to save you, this may not go well.

 

 

MAN MUST GO BI

MAN BUSES ARE SEXUALLY OPPRESSIVE

The Wellington City Council has admitted that its use of German MAN buses is oppressive to people of non-binary gender, so it is now planning to replace them all with new electric buses from Bus International (BI) the bus division of American truck manufacturer International.

The current buses feature the word “MAN” on the front and also on the driver’s steering wheel.

A spokesperson for the Men Are Redundant Movement (MARM) said MAN buses were offensive and had no place in a non-binary world.

Wellington taxpayers will again be footing the bill for another 278 new buses after already buying the environmentally friendly but sexually oppressive MAN buses, but MARM says going BI is non-negotiable, as it is not possible to put a price on ending sexual oppression.

Non-binary passengers will receive a discount when they use their TRANS bus card, and it is hoped that the people of Wellington will be encouraged to stop forcing themselves into fixed gender roles and feel free to publicly live as their authentic true selves.

To encourage people to embrace their unrestricted sexuality MARM is running an advertising campaign featuring well known Kiwi celebs who are heroically taking a public stand and displaying their true non binary selves, such as ex-NZ prime minister Jacinda Ardern.

Although most commentators fully support the move, some have suggested that buses are in themselves offensive to people of size, and by being wider than cars they are mocking people who don’t fit within the restrictive concepts of socially acceptable weight. As a way to compensate for this, the Reverse All Sizeism Today Affirmative (RASTA) suggests introducing a discounted “SIZEISM” bus card.

STARTING AGAIN

A new year is always a good time for making changes and I decided to start over again for 2025 with an all new Blogger blog using a slightly more modern theme. But not too modern, because I think most blog themes look totally lame. In fact I'm completely repulsed by the style of most "modern" blogs.

PS - As things worked out I later decided to come back to this blog, but to convert it to purple as a work around for the formatting problems I was having. So I ended up deciding not to change to a new black blog, but instead to return to my purple roots. I hope everyone likes purple! 

After a quick look around I concluded that all the more fashionable up to date themes SUCK! I realise I'm a bit old school, but to me they all look "Lame and Gay" as Eric Cartman might say. 

They are mostly bright white backgrounds with a bunch of distracting magazine style tiled images, and plenty of adverts. I want a simple dark look with basic menus, no distractions.

 

So from the start of 2025 I have swapped over and redirected the www.sift.co.nz URL to a new Sift blog, making the old 2024 blog an archive. The hits on the old blog were so low I was starting to wonder just what was going on with it, and it was starting to have an increasing number of display and formatting issues, so rather than trying to sort it out, I thought it was time for a fresh start. 

 

As with my archived FROT blog I left the old SIFT blog as it was, but it was looking a bit crap once it stopped displaying the colours I selected, and was all shades of grey. With a new theme ("Awesome Inc Dark") I was aiming for something less limp looking. 

 

 

FLUORIDE IS NOT A NUTRIENT

It’s often said that what makes fluoridation so harmful is that they use a chemical called hydrofluorosilicic acid rather than naturally occurring fluoride. However, the fact is all fluoride is toxic, even naturally occurring fluoride.

Fluoride is not a nutrient in any way. It is not like calcium or magnesium; it is much more like lead or arsenic.

In some parts of Africa, China, India and other parts of the world, the underground fluoride supplies have high amounts of fluoride. This causes huge problems. The children and adults suffer from skeletal fluorosis which causes crippling bone problems.

It is expensive to remove fluoride as most filters do not remove it. To remove all fluoride a reverse osmosis or distillation system is needed although in rural India they are developing some low cost filtration systems using lime.

A website called India Water Portal contains a lot of really interesting information regarding the harms of excess fluoride. The images of children with deformities and adults bed-ridden is heart breaking. There are also articles about what people are doing to try and remove fluoride and even remedy skeletal fluorosis through avoidance of fluoride and a nutrient dense diet.

It is true, though, that naturally occurring fluoride is generally not as toxic as the chemical fluoride added to New Zealand waters. Naturally occurring fluoride normally comes with high levels of calcium or magnesium which it binds to and makes less toxic. Also, fluoride is cumulative and even “low” levels can cause skeletal fluorosis. The first stage of skeletal fluorosis is identical to arthritis and doctors in New Zealand are not aware that patients presenting with arthritic-like symptoms may, in fact, have skeletal fluorosis.

Demanding that councils add a toxic substance like fluoride purposedly to people’s water, is absolutely crazy if the Director-General of Health’s aim is to improve the health of New Zealanders. And it is cowardly and ignorant of any mayor or councillor not to stand up to this craziness and tell the Direct-General of Health that they will not take any part in poisoning the community.

 

Bone pain, joint pain, arthritis or fluoride poisoning

Most people don’t realise that 50% of fluoride ingested is stored in the bones and soft tissue. Accumulation of fluoride can cause a disease called skeletal fluorosis. The first symptoms of skeletal fluorosis are identical to osteoarthritis.

 
“Long-term accumulative exposures to fluoride even at low levels carries a risk of sub-clinical or stage-1 musculo-skeletal fluorosis presenting as joint pain or arthritis. Notably, arthritis is a leading cause of disability with 647,000 now affected in this country and annual costs exceeding $3 billion.” Dr Mike Godfrey, Journal New Zealand Medical Association.

It is completely unknown how many people in New Zealand are suffering from skeletal fluorosis, rather than arthritis, because doctors are not aware this could happen here so testing is never done.

What we do know is that the U.S. Government’s Institute of Medicine, Dietary Reference Intakes for Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Vitamin D, and Fluoride.(1997), have estimated “The development of skeletal fluorosis and its severity is directly related to the level and duration of exposure. Most epidemiological research has indicated that an intake of at least 10 mg/day for 10 or more years is needed to produce clinical signs of the milder forms of the condition”.

In 2013, the Hamilton City Council held a Tribunal Hearing on Fluoridation. One of the expert speakers promoting fluoridation was former chief oral health advisor, and now Medical Director for Health New Zealand, Dr Robin Whyman.

Dr Whyman explained to the councillors “You then swallow the fluoride and it comes down into the blood supply. Some of it is actually moves across to bone, we don’t disagree with that at all, and some of it will go to soft tissue.” But rather than stopping there and discussing what this means for bone health, and the health of our entire bodies, Dr Whyman, a dentist, moved on to talk about dental health.

Because fluoride accumulates, less exposure over longer periods can achieve the same result as high exposure over a shorter period. The intake established by the Institute of Medicine, 10 mg a day for 10 years, may be roughly the same as 5mg a day for 20 years or 2.5 mg a day for 40 years and so on. The Institute of Medicine say “Stage 1 skeletal fluorosis is characterized by occasional stiffness or pain in joints and some osteosclerosis of the pelvis and vertebra.” 

Could your bone or joint pain be caused by fluoride accumulating in your bones? Try avoiding all forms of fluoride. See Sources of Fluoride and New Zealand study on Fluoride and Tea.

“If I was an arthritic individual, I would be eliminating every source of fluoride exposure I could think of”. Phyllis Mullinex, PhD.
