Yeah well look at what’s happened to Ukraine after they gave up their nukes. Basic logic.

I figure the corvids and raccoons deserve a chance to be dominant species at this point.

He is right. No other nation with self-respect should be granting any state visit from the FOTUS (Felon Of The United States). He is an adversary to us all and should be shunned on the international stage, period.

Tell your US Embassy representatives that you will be happy to reconsider engaging once the leadership has changed.

I do not assert that merely swallowing water with fluoride offers any benefit to do with dental health.

It should be obvious that the act of directly swallowing water containing fluoride would give the water little to no opportunity to interact with one’s teeth, which would be required for the intended preventative effect.

This is very similar to the decision by most nations to put low base levels of iodine in table salt. Given peoples’ daily habits and diet, it was determined to be a safe and reliable way of ensuring exposure to a needed substance for general health. Not everyone has or will have the discipline to apply fluoridated paste to their teeth regularly (hell, many people don’t even brush their teeth regularly!). Nor would many people take steps to ensure they had a recommended dose of iodine if they had to think about it, rather than just getting it through their daily meal …

It should be clear to anyone that it’s the incidental daily, weekly, monthly, yearly cumulative effect of fluoridated water, even in the brief interval before it is swallowed, swishing in the mouth and in direct contact with teeth, that can be of benefit.

Explain to me the science of how municipal fluoridation causes health issues so severe that it should be discontinued.

This is even more nuts than removing fluoride from municipal water systems. At least with that, parents who believe the science that their kids’ teeth will be better off with targeted fluoride treatment can buy the drops and tablets, and those who are afraid for some reason can choose to just not use it.

This is just trying to ban access to fluoride entirely, despite research showing its benefits and the distinct lack of significant harm. Madness.

What next, are they going to criminalize sending fluoride drops/pills through the mail, like mifepristone?

Calgary, AB Canada removed fluoride and a decade later added it back after seeing the effects of its absence.

Countdown until Krasnov EOs it to be revoked, forgetting he was the one who signed it into law? Would not surprise me one iota.

Good questions, and important that we crowdsource verification of this. I saw some other posts on bsky that other people have received these emails, suggesting it is not a single instance. Implication is that it’s a new automated effort, perhaps “by AI”, to intimidate people en masse. But it could be fake, so the more examining it, the better.

EDIT: Link here to a thread, indicating others have received these emails: https://bsky.app/profile/reichlinmelnick.bsky.social/post/3lmljpkrdj22h

I was trying to sound the alert that this might be a thing – BUT if it turns out to be fake, please by all means shout to the hilltops that it is bunk.

US is a no-go zone until further notice AFAICT.

Credit Unions! At least I hope in your country they exist, and are better than banks which, where I live, they most DEFINITELY are.

There’s a dedicated tool named sshguard which works nicely.

… where is the footage of police dragging this ICE agent in cuffs to contempt jail? It means nothing if he is not jailed. Was he? Will he be?

Hah, LOL no. Sadly, I have no illusions there will be any accountability in this regime.

Perhaps his admiration of despots like Putin, and his seemingly desperate desire to become like them, to be considered an equal by them, is the thing that drives him. It could be that he just truly, truly wants to be like Putin, so does anything he can to impress or aid him.

If that’s true, then there’s really nothing anyone can do. (Well, nothing I can mention, that we all know full well, without being on some lists).

Never mind the reasons – this is patently illegal and violates security clearances. Yet another reason, as if more were needed, to oust him and then prosecute him.

Maybe they’ve got something really, really big on him. Something he values beyond all else – even money, even fame, even attention, even power, since those seem to be all he loves.

Maybe Putin convinced him years ago he will bump off Ivanka if he doesn’t obey, or something.

Like father, like son. Jeebus what a horrible being (I skipped a word on purpose). And the HOA who’ve taken his signalling/direction are, of course, horrible as well.

Hmm, guess that’s tacit permission for Canada to do the same with our southbound water then eh? >:(

I had not heard of Jackett and to be honest haven’t really looked into aggregators. Will look into it, thank you.

1337x.to has good torrents/magnets in my experience, but def. use ad blocking. On mobile clicking almost anything tries to redirect or pop something up.

Exactly. Europe should see all Canada’s steel and aluminum as a godsend for all the tanks, vehicles, and guns they’re going to need to build and use to stop Russia.
