The Fluoride Fight Heats Up in Florida

March 13, 2025May 9, 2025

Clean water advocates won a major victory last fall, when a federal court issued a ruling that officially acknowledged the risks of fluoride in the drinking water supply, and ordered the EPA to issue further regulations.

The news came as a relief to the activists and researchers who had been sounding the alarm about fluoride’s risks for decades, but were ignored and labeled “conspiracy theorists”.

Immediately following the court’s decision, several cities announced they were ending the practice.

Researchers Find Dangerous Bacteria on Kids’ Masks, Florida Schools Mandate Them Anyway

September 15, 2021May 7, 2025

Are school mask mandates doing more harm than good? A study by UF researchers found 11 types of pathogens and bacteria on kids masks worn after only a day.

The burden of proof is on those who want to impose a burdensome intervention, not those who want to go about their lives normally. And the on-the-ground data shows that kids are not at additional risk and the masks aren’t doing anything to reduce transmission, but the facts haven’t seemed to matter this entire time.

As lockdown measures start getting pushed again for a second year, a new wave of censorship is needed to maintain control of the narrative. My YouTube channel was permanently banned for exposing the Scamdemic, which the censorship regime calls “medical misinformation”.

Blood Money: The Civil War And The Federal Reserve Book Review

If you want to understand what’s happening right now you have to go back at least 250 years, because many of the fortunes that rule over us today weren’t accumulated in our time.

When you understand how the public mind was prepared in the 1850’s for the events that exploded the following decade, you can see the same deceptions playing out today. The notion that Union troops invaded the South in order to free the slaves is one of the biggest historic illusions we’re still living under.

5G Comments to Hallandale Beach City Commission

Firstly, I wanted to thank you for putting this issue on the agenda and being willing to listen to your constituents. I’m here today to express my concerns about the rush to roll out 5G wireless technology here in Florida.

I’m not opposed to technological advancement, but I think it’s important that we ensure that it be done safely. This deployment means that thousands of what are called ‘small cell’ towers will be constructed near residential neighborhoods. And these wireless antennas emit huge amounts of microwave radiation.

It’s Time to Ban Fracking in Florida

March 7, 2018February 3, 2021

In the recent past, Florida nearly became the largest state to pave the way for fracking, which would have opened up much of the Everglades to widespread oil and natural gas exploration. The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) revealed that a Texas-based company made the very first fracking attempt in Collier County. For starting operations without an environmental review or permission, the company was fined a mere $25,000.

Tollmageddon Strikes: MDX Rolls Out New Rate Hikes

Drivers on the SR 836 and SR 112 expressways faced a 50% increase in toll fees starting Saturday, November 15 as the Miami-Dade County Expressway Authority implemented a rate hike at 17 new tolling locations along the east and west bound lanes and exit ramps.

For the non-SunPass’er, the roundtrip rate has doubled from $4.20 up to $8.40 which would cost daily commuters an additional $400 a year. While this could help discourage automobile traffic, there are very few alternative transit options locals can turn to.
