There simply is no other way to explain the statements of White House Chief of Staff Jacob Lew this morning on CNN's State of the Union. Lew was asked by Candy Crawley about a recent statement by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid indicating he would not be bringing a...

Don't drink or bathe in publicly contaminated water. China -who feels no remorse in poisoning others, will not allow Fluoride in their water. They have studied the issue and found a 10-15% decrease in IQ in children that have Fluoride in the water. Since 1952 when the Fed. set Fluoride in municipal water NOTHING has improved but much has deteriorated.
I remember Carlyle was a writer and historian. That's about it. On another topic, the most important piece of NEWS that happened in the past 24 hrs. that might go unnoticed, was that India has pulled out of the UN Climate Scam:

Citing concerns it cannot rely on the UN or the IPCC. This is BIG news, and will send a shockwave through the sham scientists and hucksters, probably striking a chord of fear into Pope Algore himself.

I was under the impression that India really could care less about "Global Warming", let alone a uni-lateral climate agreement? And with most un-devolped, devolped nations, their abject poverty probably should be of more concern? However, India still utilizes the caste system, and I cannot imagine any substantive progress ever being made in that country until they stop classifying their citizens…!?
Yeah read that last night and was damn glad to see at least one country had the nerve to call them out on the false data.. Now if only Owebama would stop redirecting our agency's to study AGW like Nasa, CIA et al:..
As far as Carlyle i did a quick read and well he believed in worshiping Hero's ??? I will honor and respect them but NEVER worship them, I think it must be a bad day for great people in history to come up with carlyle !!!
Knowing that it can play the, "we're still a floundering developing nation," card, I imagine India has only a facile interest in the Global Warmi-err Climate Change agreement.
As for Mr. Carlyle:

Take your pick.
Do the duty which lies nearest to you, the second duty will then become clearer.

November 2, 2010 is our nearest duty. All our effort to replace the corrupt must proceed in that direction first.
It is a shame a bunch of war criminals in the Carlyle group soiled his name. They just used the name because it "sounded good" – can you believe that?
OK, you got me, I will have to go and research this guy no.
I dig your open threads, Publius.
Carlyle has some excellent, thought provoking quotes. Here's a couple for Obama:
"If an eloquent speaker speak not the truth, is there a more horrid kind of object in creation?"
"It is a vain hope to make people happy by politics."
And I believe India has been divesting itself of the American debt it holds and buying large quantities of gold. I read that about 2 months ago. Sounds like they know what they're doing.
Just saw a Toyota exec bent at the waist apologizing to the world for the recalls. Sadly, what came to mind his how much he looked like Obama apologizing for America.
Obama did it again!
OBAMA ACCIDENTLY REVEALS EXISTENCE OF BLACK OPS ZOMBIE OPERATION IN HAITI
http://naturalfake.wordpress.com/2010/02/05/obama...
Worst President ever!
Fantastic news, Cowboy, thank you!!
Well, I have to agree with that!..
Speaking of quotes etc…Did ya hear how Obumble repeatedly said….
Navy "Corpse" men?…lol……..He certainly is a great speaker, eh?..It
wasn't him I'm sure, it was his teleprompter that did it……..
Here is a link to an excellent speech on Carlyle given by Jonathan Bowden at the 2009 London New Right meeting.

Ha! I opened this comment thread just to see if you were spewing an insane conspiracy rant about the Carlyle Group, which has absolutely nothing to do with Thomas Carlyle, but was founded by a Jew and must therefore be part of the Evil Zionist Cabal. Thanks for not disappointing!
OBAMA TAKES NARCISSISM TO GREAT HEIGHTS, YES, A VISITOR ED S. TO THE WHITEHOUSE WALKED INTO THE WEST WING, IN A LARGE ROOM WAS PHOTOS OF OBAMA COVERING EVERY INCH OF EVERY WALL, HE SAID IT LOOKED LIKE A SICK SHRINE, WITH APPROX 300 PHOTOS. THIS JUST REINFORCES THE THOUGHT THAT OBAMA IS A OUT OF CONTOL EGOMANIAC.
He was actually a pretty conflicted and tragic character, IMHO. I don't usually cite Wikipedia as a reference, but this entry looks pretty unbiased.

Oh, yes indeed! That teleprompter finally jumped up and bit him in his arse! I bet he can't spell potato either.
"Oh, he's so articulate and intelligent!" NOT!
Fluoride should be the least of our worries. Did you know that in the east coast, the epa did a study as to why huge amounts of phermones were found in the drinking water – and that male fish were actually turning "female"? The answer they gave?… the large number of women taking birth control pills and their urine carrying the phermones into the river ways, which supply a lot of the east coast with drinking water.. On top of that, water treatment plants "cannot" filter phermones out of the water. Makes one wonder what it might be doing to the male homo sapien population there as well. Anyone else hear about this?
That's funny, as I thought the exact same thing too.

Feel free to comment Tom, just please stop yelling.
The toxins in our water cannot be cleaned with charcoal and sunlight. Fluorine is the most reative element in the periodic table, i.e.: fluorocarbons are not a danger because of the carbon. Thus, if you have fluoride and biohazards (chemotherapy waste) the toxins are amplified and heading for the bone. It would take about $7,000 for a phosephate plant to render a barrel of Fluoride inert but (thank you -Big Government) your water department pays(!) about $375 to put the untreated neurotoxin in your water supply. Oh, you get 600% in your shower. The terror of unintended consequences. Check out :The Fluoride Deception by C. Bryson.
I agree with your assessment on Fluoride and meant no disrespect. I was trying to add a little humor, while also adding info on another scary problem. Obviously, God did not grant me the gift of humor. Mea Culpa
It's like the DaVinci Code! Only more……well…..you know….

Sure.
Harvard is so overrated. So are Yale and Columbia. And way overpriced.
Yes, I agree, and we probrably paid for his education to boot!
Everyone should be forced to read a chapter of Carlyle. His style is difficult, but it grows on you – after a while it actually starts to make sense.
Great writing style, reading this blog via RSS as well. thanks.
Someone I work with visits your blog regularly and recommended it to me to read also. The writing style is great and the content is relevant. Thanks for the insight you provide the readers!
