Bernays, at the behest of the US Public Health Service, sold fluoridation to the US public. The following links are touting THE FLOURIDE DECEPTION by investigative reporter Christopher Bryson. The Government learned its lesson: propaganda works. And they use "trusted" emissaries for their message. Think of that in the context of pediatricians giving kids vaccines that are causing autism, the MDs at CDC disclaiming a link and the manipulated science that says it is all genetic. Think of it in the context of 911.

"But it's hard to dismiss Bryson's meticulously footnoted facts, verbatim excerpts from once-secret documents, and direct quotes from EDWARD L. BERNAYS, the nephew of Sigmund Freud and the most influential public relations master of the twentieth century, who admitted to his role in engineering the push for nationwide fluoridation. Bryson visited Bernays at his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1993, just one year before he died at the age of 103. Selling fluoride was nothing -- mere child's play, Bernays told Bryson. " 'You can get practically any idea accepted,' Bernays told me.... 'If doctors are in favor, the public is willing to accept it, because a doctor is an authority to most people, regardless of how much he knows, or doesn't know.' "

The book [THE FLUORIDE DECEPTION by Christopher Bryson] is filled with examples of collusion among government officials, industry bigwigs, and the dentistry establishment to suppress information on fluoride's toxic effects while bolstering scientific support for its use as a cavity cure-all.

7. In "The Fluoride Deception" you mention that no proponents of fluoride would attend the major fluoridation debates in 2001. Can you give a brief explanation as to why you think this is?

BRYSON: Fear. The emperor has no clothes. As the 2000 Nobel Prize winning scientist Arvid Carlsson states in my book:

"Fluoridation violates modern pharmacological principles."

Fluoride defenders know that they will be exposed in public discussion. Thus, the American Dental Association has long told fluoride supporters not to encourage debate. My book also reveals how the legendary public relations wizard Edward L. Bernays suggested in 1960 that the New York City Health Commissioner could suppress public debate by writing to William Paley of CBS and David Sarnoff of NBC, suggesting that debating water fluoridation is like "presenting two sides for Anti-Catholicism or Anti Semitism and therefore not in the public interest."

In his 1928 book "Propaganda," Bernays also noted "the psychological relationship of dependence of men on their physicians" and other such "opinion leaders" in society. "Those who manipulated this unseen mechanism of society," he wrote, "constitute an invisible government, which is the true ruling power of our country ... Our minds are made up, our takes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of."

"CHRISTOPHER BRYSON: Yeah. Edward Bernays is a legendary figure in the 20th century. He was Sigmund Freud’s nephew and Bernays, he was married to a feminist and he was very attune to the liberal currents in the 20th century and he was a Machiavellian genius. He is the father of public relations. He understood that you could harness that liberal sentiment for commercial gain and he had women march in 1916, he had Suffragettes march in The 1916 Easter Parade In New York City holding cigarettes as torches of liberty. He was working for the American Tobacco Company and George Hill. He was—so, my book “The Fluoride Deception,” uncovers for the first time correspondence between Bernays and the New York City Health Commissioner, Dr. Leona Baumgartner in which he says that helping out on the fluoride campaign in New York in the early 1960’s interested him because it related to problems of engineering consent. So he was the Wizard of Oz behind the curtain."
