Drilling deep into the city of Spokane’s Water Department Web site, I discovered a shocking truth. Forget fluoride, our drinking water is already POISONED with TOXIC CHEMICALS. Hello? Do you know you are ingesting LEAD, IRON, MANGANESE and CHLORINE?

Sure, the first three might naturally occur, but they’re still TOXIC! I can almost forgive city leaders for that, but how can you excuse them for ADDING CHLORINE?!

That’s right! They just dump this “exceedingly poisonous” (as per Wikipedia) acid into the same water we drink! Just like they would with FLUORIDE (if we were to ever take our eyes off them).

Yep, you’re drinking the same “oxidizing, bleaching and disinfecting agent” (Wikipedia) that you use to scrub your TOILETS!!!

Did you know CHLORINE was used by THE GERMANS in trench warfare against our boys during WORLD WAR I? Now GLOBAL CONGLOMERATES have found new customers, i.e., municipal water departments!

City Hall toadies will tell you that chlorine is used to purify the water. What bunk! They add TOXIC CHEMICALS to kill bacteria! I’ll take my chances with the cooties, thank you!!!

Not nice to heat Mother Nature. Those looking for job security can take comfort in the recent research on rising Western temperatures and their effect on wildfires. There’s going to be plenty of work available for those who battle forest fires.

It seems Mother Nature is pretty steamed with the junk that mankind is emitting and has responded with a fire season that starts sooner and runs longer. Temperatures in the West have risen 1.5 degrees on average from 1987 and 2003; there’s been a corresponding rise in the number and severity of wildfires, according to a study by scientists at the University of California-San Diego and the University of Arizona.

Wildfires have become a big political issue in the West, with factions battling over forest management practices.

It would appear from this research that Mother Nature is mocking that debate and asking us to look at the big picture.
