Fluoride Alert newsletter
The campaign to end fluoridation in Ireland is
quickly becoming one of the most exciting fluoride campaigns in the world. Led
by the positive creativity of Aisling Fitzgibbon (aka
“The Girl Against
Fluoride“), the Irish
campaign has generated an unprecedented level of public interest and support,
and what once seemed impossible (ending fluoridation) now seems within
reach.
In recent months, a bill
to end fluoridation has been introduced in parliament, a popular Irish magazine
(Hot
Press)
has begun to actively investigate the issue, and Aisling has found a talented
team of pro-bono attorneys to mount a bold new legal challenge to the national
mandate. The Irish campaigners received an added boost when news surfaced that a
parliamentary report
calling
for an end to fluoridation back in 2007 had been suppressed.
It is now distinctly conceivable that, just as
Israel
did
earlier this year, Ireland could end its fluoridation program. To help make this
dream a reality, however, Aisling and the Irish campaigners need our support.
That’s where The Naked
Calendar comes in!
The Naked
Calendar is full of colorful pictures of Aisling and others
getting naked to convey how forced fluoridation strips each person of their
right to be free from forced medication. The calendar is
available for
purchase
(14 Euro) on The Girl Against Fluoride website, and all proceeds will go to help Aisling’s
ongoing efforts to reach new audiences in the fluoridation campaign. Aisling
writes:
“I am The Girl Against Fluoride, the girl who is
taking the Irish Government to court in 2014 to reverse the 50 year policy of
mandatory water fluoridation. My team and I created a Naked Calendar to help pay
for expert witnesses who will testify against fluoride and also to educate
people about the risks of water fluoridation. Interspersed with pictures of
beautiful models are fact bubbles that tell the story about fluoride in the
water. The calendar can be bought on the website www.thegirlagainstfluoride.com It retails at 14 euro outside of Ireland including
post and packaging.”
FAN encourages everyone with the means to support
this great effort. A victory in Ireland will be a MAJOR blow to fluoridation
everywhere, and a great hook to challenge fluoridation in your own community.
Good luck Aisling! Go Irish!
NOTE FROM FAN’S DIRECTOR, PAUL
CONNETT:
It needed something very special to break through
the “Dublin Wall” that has protected the forced fluoridation of Ireland’s water
supplies since 1963. A practice propped up by government propaganda and media
acquiescence. Many have tried. Robert Pocock led a valiant battle before he
passed away. A group called Dentists Opposed to Fluoridation led by Don McCaulie
tried but they were outgunned by the dental establishment. Green MP (and former
mayor of Dublin) John Gormley wrote a scathing report but his committee never
released it. Declan Waugh, an environmental scientist, has recently published
reams of paper documenting the dangers of fluoridation but once again has been
treated with disdain and denial by the government’s “Dublin Wall.” Fluoridation,
it would seem, must go on in Ireland for some unexplained
reason.
But then there were two strikes and they came from
the same source. A schoolteacher who persuaded her class to study the issue, and
they did — and they did more: they formed the group Kids Against Fluoride. A
very creative group that sports a blue glove with an anti-fluoride sign on the
palm. By holding their hands up, singly or en masse, they get the message
across, “It’s time to stop fluoridation.” The same schoolteacher also blessed
Ireland with a 24 year old daughter named Aisling Fitzgibbon. Like Lady Godiva,
this “Girl Against Fluoride” has taken off her clothes to reveal the truth. And
like the character in Hans Christian Anderson has revealed that it is not her
that has no clothes on but the “Emperor of Fluoridation”–the Ministry of Health
itself. She is persuading many other young women and even legislators to do the
same – and memorializing the naked truth in a calendar.
Aisling not only has an eye for the kind of
creative approaches that can capture the imagination of the public, but she is
very well-informed on the in’s and out’s of the fluoridation issue. She is very
bright and articulate and more than held her own on national radio against the
most slippery of Irish propagandists for fluoridation, Dr. Joe
Mullen.
With the new Israeli Minister of Health announcing
an end to mandatory fluoridation in Israel, surely Ireland must be next. If it
is, the Irish people will have to thank Aisling Fitzgibbon and her mother for
their energy and creativity in this matter. The Dublin wall is coming
down.
