Vatic Note: When I looked at the sources of this news, I asked myself, "Uh Oh, something stinks in Denmark, since those news sources are all mainstream press who reports nothing that could harm the power structure put in place by the powers that be, So what is "really" going on here?
Thank goodness our town took fluoride out of our water as far back as 2005, and the state tried to intimidate us into putting it back in, but our board held fast and would not budge on taking it out. We had too much evidence proving it was dangerous to our health and so, with some serious lurching, the board members voted to remove the toxic flouride that came from pesticide production, from our water and we have been clean ever since.
Michigan has suffered in many areas, such as loss of manufacturing jobs, industries moving to slave labor countries and it has devastated their economy. I am surprised that the elected reps are not making a stink over spending the money to investigate this..... but I want to see the proof in the pudding, so to speak. I will follow this story til the end and update later as more comes out. I hope that Mike Adams has the same idea of following this closely and reporting back regularly. Thanks, Mike for all that you and your staff reporters do for us.

(NaturalNews) The Michigan Attorney General's office will likely have to
petition the state legislature for some hefty cash to investigate the
ongoing water crisis in Flint, Michigan, where some nine local residents
have died from polluted water. According to reports, those responsible
for the disaster could face criminal charges for negligently poisoning
the city's residents with lead and other toxic substances in order to save money.
A
special counsel has been established to determine who is at fault and
to press charges against them, as this once local crisis captivates the
nation. Sources say charges all the way up to manslaughter are "not
far-fetched," and that the proper course of action will be taken to make
sure the culprits are held fully responsible for their crimes.
"We're
here to investigate what possible crimes there are, anything to the
involuntary manslaughter or death that may have happened to some young
person or old person because of this poisoning, to misconduct in
office," stated Todd Flood, special counsel for the state Attorney
General's office investigating the Flint water crisis.
"We take this very seriously."
Flood,
who plans to take $400 an hour as pay for his role as special
prosecutor in the case, has gained a seal of support from Attorney
General Bill Schuette, who insists that such a salary is appropriate to
assemble a "top-shelf" team to conduct the probe.
"We're not going to shortchange justice," he told The Detroit News.
"We're not going to do justice on the cheap. We're going to have a full
and complete investigation, and where the truth goes, that's where
we'll go."
Fluoride makes lead more toxic – will anyone in Flint investigate this?
More like where the money goes, Flood is sure to go, insist critics,
who have been quick to point out that Flood has previously and on
numerous occasions made political contributions to both Schuette and
Republican Governer Rick Snyder. Snyder, of course, is one of the
individuals supposedly being investigated for poisoning families and
young, developing children in Flint.
Melanie McElroy, executive director of Common Cause Michigan,
issued a statement recently questioning just how "independent" the
Flood-led investigation will actually be, considering the serious
conflict of interest at hand. There's also the issue of Schuette padding
his own office, as well as that of Gov. Snyder and various state
departments, from prosecution and lawsuits during the investigation.
"Bill
Schuette's 'independent investigation' seems more focused on rewarding
campaign contributors with state contracts than getting to the bottom of
why Flint's water was poisoned with lead," she wrote.
One
of the departments being investigated, the Department of Environmental
Quality Control, is reportedly on the chopping block for failing to
address the problem of lead being leached from old, corroding water pipes.
Sources say DEQ Director Dan Wyant resigned back in December for
failing to properly mitigate the problem, which put Flint's nearly
100,000 residents at risk of permanent brain damage.
It just so happens that synthetic fluoride
chemicals, which have been added to Flint's water supply for many
years, are known to increase lead absorption in humans. Fluoride is a
caustic substance that reacts with lead to make it more toxic, creating a
major public health hazard, hence the importance of removing fluoride from drinking water.
Flint
residents last April actually petitioned the local water department to
remove fluoride from the water supply, for this and other reasons. This
suggests that those responsible for continuing Flint's fluoride program
may also be indicted as part of the investigation for putting residents
at risk – that is, if the investigating team bothers to take a look at
the science surrounding fluoride and its synergistic toxicity with lead.
