'6. Systemic Fluoride and Reduced Intelligence
The majority of over 400 worldwide research studies have found that ingested fluoride
reduces children's intelligence. The most recent research from North America found a total
reduction of 5-6 IQ points in future children and infants exposed to fluoride during
pregnancy and infancy. The Government must consider the Precautionary Principle.'

The above is from this entity in 2021.

'Written evidence submitted by UK Freedom From Fluoride Alliance (UKFFFA)
(HCB47)
Submission to the Public Bill Committee, Health and Care Bill 2021
concerning Clauses 128 and 129 in the Bill
Author: Joy Warren, BSc.(Hons) Environmental Science.
I am Coordinator of UKFFFA, a national organisation. I have studied the issue of Water
Fluoridation (WF) in depth since 2003 and have been active in opposition to the practice
at national and regional levels''

Here they acknowledge a growing backlash against it.


'Concurrently, recent opposition has been growing worldwide against fluoridation, emphasizing the potential and serious risk of toxicity. Since the fluoride benefit is mainly topical, perhaps it is better to deliver fluoride directly to the tooth instead of ingesting it (34). Fluoride toothpaste, rinses and varnish applications have proven their effectiveness in some countries, but they are still not universally affordable.'



I didn't realise they even added it to milk in the fifties.
They are now considering adding Hydroxyapatite to toothpaste, so I understand.
Hydroxyapatite.

Teeth are important but you might justfiably argue that the brain is more so!

Dr. Meryl Nass: The WHO Pandemic Agreement is a "soft coup", which will enable the WHO "to take over jurisdiction of everything in the world by saying that climate change, animals, plants, water systems [and] ecosystems are all central to health".

In addition to that, it will remove human rights protections, enforce censorship and digital passports, require governments to push a single "official" narrative, and enable the WHO to declare "pandemics" on a whim.

"We're undergoing a soft coup... under the pretext of pandemic preparedness and the biosecurity agenda."

Despite some solid economic numbers, there is an underlying rumbling of potential economic chaos
Rising debt, more and more spending, geopolitical conflicts, supply chain issues, weather concerns.
The notion of the FED higher for longer may not be the case as the cost of servicing the Federal debt alone will approach 6% of GDP by year-end. A drop of 150 basis points will reduce the interest payment by 33%. These debt imbalances put the Fed between a rock and a hard place-risk higher inflation or create financial repression by the banks?
With bank earnings on tap, assume big banks report well because of the investments in the market increasing capital flow-however regional banks-most vulnerable.
Gold is not rallying because of runaway inflation-while CPI is rising it is not anywhere near hyperinflation numbers-so imagine if that happens because the FED reduces rates-and for any reason, the dollar falls?

News yesterday is that a missile strike on Israel by Iran is imminent.

Oil spiked on that news-plus oil WTI-over $85 is bullish

Also as expected, gold miners and silver began to move higher.

Silver will move because of industrial demand, but also because it is the poor man's gold.

Got to admit that I was expecting cultivation news end of Jan, but hey what's a few weeks/month extra if it's an A1 crop.

To get that news and bank approval news on the same day/week would be something.

I am enjoying the wait, far from bored.

When you know you're on a winner, being patient is a teeny, tiny price to pay.

Who knows what this week ahead might bring....

🔥 Many people were shocked and in disbelief when Frank Zappa said those words on March 28th, 1986, during an episode of CNN's "Crossfire."

"The biggest threat to America today is not communism. It's moving America toward a fascist theocracy...🤔;

One example of a fascist theocracy.
When you have a government that prefers a certain moral code derived from a certain religion, and that moral code turns into legislation to suit one certain religious point of view." 🔥

Does Frank have a point?

The complementary investment protection agreement

The Australian mining shares price halved over the past last year and it had to cut spending last year and strategically review it's assets to stay above water.
Investors fear management will be unable to deliver Cascabel to it's full potential given it's recent history.

Ah a bit in the Sunday Times about Elliot and Scottish Mortgage Trust.

Even they have used the word 'feared'.

I believe that SMT's stance was that they kept Nvidia and the high flying companies like it, because they couldn't see a better use for their cash, should they sell some.

Again, some say that if they continue ro be lieve in Nvidia going forward....and I support in theory, some of Nvidia's own mantra , to some extent, in that they are just at the start of this game changer, as an industry, they are in.

Perhaps SMT fear they might not be able to buy back cheaper in the future,as it goes from strength to strength?
Whilst some are predicting an eventual drop in the share price,who knows?
Some of the biggest names in the tech have just kept going up.

If it is carried out, will the cash lose value, as cash always does, if they cannot see anything better to invest in, as I seem to remember them claiming?

I could be wrong on that...I would have to see if those were just my thoughts.

Finally Space X!

I do hope they don't sell too much of that!
Is it just another way of attacking Musk?
Whatever, I m just a small person in the big scheme of these things.
I have admired SMT's choices of shares over the years, their advisors have been spot on.
The only reason I haven't jumped in for more recently, is because of the general market climate.
Elliot might know what they're doing but as I say I fear short termism and as a major shareholder they can over ride some of SMT's managements decisions....which I personally think is a shame.

IMO

I s ee space as a growing area, for investors.
