More recently, he has been covering the developing story about legal action being taken against the United States Government to prove in court that fluoride is a toxic substance, as specified under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).A group called the Fluoride Action Network (FAN, fluoridealert.org) has been working hard to bring the truth about fluoride to light for a long time and is finally making headway in the courts. The next phase of the trial resumes in San Francisco, CA beginning on January 31st, 2024, and Derrick will be in attendance, reporting on the entire trial as a representative of The Last American Vagabond. Derrick will be traveling from his home in Mexico and will be attending the trial each day and anticipating being there for at least a week while court is in session. We want to help Derrick be as effective as he can, on the front lines, bringing all of us this information, so we want to shout out his crowdfunding efforts to support this endeavorPlease support Derrick’s important fluoride trial coverage by contributing to his GiveSendGo campaign:givesendgo.com/fluoridetrialAlso, please make sure to check out all of Derrick’s recent coverage on this topic. It is shocking to see that communities still consider fluoride in the drinking water to be a safe and beneficial practice. Hopefully, through the efforts of the Fluoride Action Network and journalists like Derrick, this era will come to an end. * Derrick Broze Interview – Impending “Planetary Emergency” & “Permacrisis” That Will End Sovereignty* Landmark Fluoride Lawsuit Restarts In January: Here Are Four Reasons You Should Care* Second Phase Of Fluoride Lawsuit Set To Begin In January 2024* Newly Released Review Of Fluoride’s Toxicity Highlights NTP Scientist’s Battle To Follow The Science* US Government Releases Censored Documents Detailing Fluoride’s Impact On Childhood IQ* #FluorideLawsuit: Censored Review On Fluoride’s Toxicity Will Soon Be Made Public* Following Revelation Of Interference By AHS Rachel Levine, Federal Judge Pushes Next Hearing In Fluoride Lawsuit To April* Internal CDC Emails Claim Assistant Secretary For Health Blocked Release Of Fluoride Review* After A Two Year Delay, Federal Judge Says Fluoride Lawsuit May ContinueThank you for considering supporting Derrick’s important efforts.

I want to make it clear to everybody.
I am going to San Francisco.
I will be representing TLAV.
I'll be going every day to the trial, which is, as I said, it's eight till five,
pretty much depending on how long it goes.
So I'll be in there taking notes.
If they'll allow me to bring in my computer, I'll try to live tweet, you know, things like I did before.
And we are raising money for that.
I'm grateful to see Ryan was showing me we're almost to $1,000.
We're aiming for about $6,000.
And that's just kind of we're going big for it to let everybody know.
I've already bought my flight from Mexico, where I live.
to San Francisco, it costs me about $900.
So the money there, that reimburses me for the flights cost.
That's great.
If we could raise even more money, we would like to get a hotel or something so I can be comfortable and safe and do the work I need to do for the potentially two weeks that we're going to be out there.
And then it would be nice to be able to eat a little bit every day as well.
So I mean, this isn't going to like buy me a new car or buy me some new shoes or anything like this.
This is all straight going into the project so that I can be there in San Francisco, in Quarston, in Quarra.
every day and then we'll probably be doing, if not daily, at least maybe probably weekly,
you know, biweekly conversations between me and Ryan to keep you guys informed,
especially as we get the bombshells, which I expect they are going to have all six witnesses
from the plaintiffs, the fluoride action network.
All the scientists are going to be there in person and the government scientists,
the sort of what they call the rent-a-coats, are going to be there in person too.
So this opens up even more opportunities for potentially interviewing some of these scientists
directly. So you don't even have to hear it directly from me or from Ryan. We'll talk to the
scientists right after they testify in court and say, hey, can you tell the people what you just
said in court and why they should be concerned about this? So there's a lot of potential here for
getting some good content, producing, you know, obviously I'm producing a number of written
articles. We'll be producing video reports, interviews, articles. Maybe it'll end up turning into a little
mini documentary depending on how things go. Because as I said, this could be the end of water fluoridation,
or at least a major step towards ending water fluoridation in the U.S.
So anybody who's got five bucks extra, we appreciate it.
I appreciate it.
Like I said, it's all going into our fund here so we can make sure to give you guys the best
coverage.
One of the most obvious and really, really one of the most painfully obvious parts of this
it talked about for as long as I've ever been doing this work.
And I think it's been provable that long that fluoride is, one, a dangerous byproduct that
has no real benefit at all for anybody consuming it.
But on top of that, that they know that they've been pushed, don't be, I mean, we can get
into the wise, but at the very least because they'd otherwise have to pay to dispose of it,
where now they're making you pay to put it in your water.
So give us a quick background on this work, you know, why that's important.
And then let's talk about what you're trying to do with the trial.
Yeah, absolutely.
So, I mean, as you said, like we've had evidence.
I've been researching for it since 2010.
The evidence was there then.
And honestly, I've learned quite a bit in my research just this year of,
doing, you know, work preparing for this trial to resume and stuff. And the fact is that there have been
scientists warning about fluoride lowering IQ since at least the 1950s, pretty much right when it began.
And thankfully, we got to a point in 2016 where the fluoride action network and the food and water watch
and several mothers as plaintiffs decided to sue the EPA Environmental Protection Agency because the EPA
denied their petition. They basically filed a petition under the toxic.
Substance Control Act, which was passed in 2016, and it allows citizens to go to the government
and say, hey, we believe this substance is toxic. You need to regulate it or ban it. So the
FRIAT Action Network filed a petition. The EPA denied it, ignored it. So then they filed a lawsuit.
That was back in 2016. Here we are, 2023 going on 2024. And we're still not done with this trial yet.
But in the summer of 2020, it actually began. And of course, everything was locked down then.
And so I started reporting on it for TLAV in June and then it wrapped up in August.
And it was taking place in San Francisco, but everybody was on Zoom.
And I just followed the, you know, I've done quite a bit of court reporting.
It's kind of a different specific type of reporting because you've got to be just ready to like catch as many things, especially when you're not sitting there listening to Zoom where you can screen record and listen to later.
Like if you're there in person, you just got to be writing as fast as you can, getting all the notes.
And there's a lot to it.
But I really, I do enjoy doing it because, and I think it's important.
work because whether we're talking about the fluoride trial or any other trial, you're not going to get the full picture if you're not there in person or if somebody's not reporting live in person because the mainstream is just going to give you the top headline of the day.
You know, and as we've seen with this fluoride lawsuit, this fluoride trial, there has been no mainstream reporting at all.
The only reporting we've found from anything that could be slightly considered mainstream would be Bloomberg law, which is not really even mainstream.
It's like a division of Bloomberg that focuses on legal cases and stuff and it's like subscription only.
So it's not like being seen by that many people.
There has been no major reporting by any of the corporate media outlets acknowledging like, hey, the fact, which is like you don't have to necessarily say fluoride is going to kill people, even though we have the evidence for the IQ harm and all that.
But at least to acknowledge, this is a historic trial.
The thing that the CDC claims, one of the things that the CDC claims is the top health achievement of the 20th century, along with.
vaccines and everything else is now on trial and there are Harvard scientists and you know some of
the most credentialed professionals when it comes to this science warning and talking about the data
they found and even just in the first that first year of the trial my reporting show that
that we know it lowers IQ that Harvard scientist Philip Grandjean said that he was threatened for
his conclusions about fluoride he said that the fluoride lobby has taken over the world health
organization. I mean, there's so many little bits and pieces of nuggets that came out because I was
following this case. And essentially what happened is at the end of 2020, it got delayed. They said
they wanted to wait for some more studies to come out, including that study there. They were waiting
for them the National Toxicology Program. But as we've learned since then, the National
Toxicology Program, they still have not publicly officially released their report on Floyd, but we
have two draft versions of it from May 2022 and September 2020, where these scientists,
at the National Toxicology Program in their own words say that the study was done,
it was ready for public release, and their conclusions were that fluoride does cause lower IQ
in children, in addition to many other problems. So that we have that information, the government's
just refusing to make it official by releasing it. And then we also have through emails that were
released through the trial, we saw that the head of the health and human services, Rachel Levine,
was involved as well as some other officials was involved with blocking the release of this data and this information so
we have clear examples here that this toxin that this chemical is a toxin as we've known before but now it's in court records now it's in federal courts we've got
federal government scientists fighting to get their their science to the people and we've got different
u.s government officials doing everything they can to block the release of that data and so that's all been
going on in the background and now where we're at the judge
Edward Chin has, they're finally going to have the second phase of the trial.
You know, basically that since that study never came out, the NTP study, we have the draft versions.
The judge said, okay, we'll look at the draft version.
You can bring back some witnesses.
We'll look at any new studies that have been done since 2020.
And it's starting again, January 30th in San Francisco.
It'll now be in person and it's going to run for two weeks, January 30th to February 14th.
And since we're going to be in person now, and they're not even doing Zoom.
anymore so there's not even an option for me to do it remotely i am going to be going in person to
san francisco you know it might not last the whole two weeks but that's what the court has kind of
slated for that time so that's kind of where we're at now and the goal with this article is just to
remind everybody like hey this is still going on in case you forgot and you know i kind of list
just a little four summary points which i just kind of covered of some of the past reporting because
i do think there's just like everything we've covered here today like you know why are more people
not talking about the pesticide issue why why is this floor
I'm not front and center.
I mean, besides us, and I got to go on the high wire with Del Big Tree, a few other outlets.
There really has not been any coverage, of course, from the corporate media, as I mentioned,
but even very little coverage from the alternative independent media.
When this could be, I know there's a lot going on, but this could be a victory for us.
If this trial goes the way that it should, this could spell the end of water fluoridation
in the United States.
Now it's very difficult to even imagine something good like that happening because there's
a lot of forces going up against, you know, the people trying to be able to be able to
trying to wake people up to this.
But there's some potential here to start 2024 out on a good foot.
Now, of course, even if the judge did rule that Florida is a toxin,
we probably will be locked in legal battles for years.
I mean, there's going to be appeals.
There's going to, you know, so and who knows?
Would the CDC even act if the judge says, hey, you know what?
Based on the evidence, we know Florida is a toxin.
It violates the TSEA and, you know, action needs to be taken.
But we know how the government works.
That could be a year of legal blah, blah, whatever.
And in the meantime, people are still being exposed to this toxin.
I mean, I hope that's not what happens, but it's possible.
Yeah, think about this, guys.
They're literally going to be using, if that's the case, your tax dollars to fight to keep you unhealthy.
Like they really think about how that looks.
This whole time, they know this is dangerous.
And they have a vested interest in keeping this in your water.
Like it just, this is, these are these examples that really highlight what the real structure is.
Not every individual with their individual actions, but what the government as an entity is,
it is not about your safety or your interests.
I mean, at one point, maybe.
But it's just, it's so blatantly obvious with stuff just like this.
And that's the craziest thing to me, as Derek just outlined, right, that what we're talking
about here is that the information has already been revealed.
It's been leaked.
We already know what they're fighting for you not to see.
And so that means if Derek can see it, if we can publish it on T-Lab, if others in Dell
and others, David Knight, for example, gave you, gave T-Lab and you a shout-out,
was talking about the work recently, David and I, who left Info Wars, you know, they had kind of a
riff. But so the idea being is that it's all there. So ask yourself, if it is there, and we can
prove it's real, and it is, it's not debatable, where are the bigger names? Where are the corporate
media? Like, this is something that should matter to anybody who genuinely is interested
in exposing this truth. But of course, this is how this tends to go, the flow of information,
right? This won't matter for people in those fields until it's something that they could probably
benefit from or that it's something that they're allowed to look into. The point is just again,
demonstrating our value, demonstrating Derek's excellent work and being ahead of this story so
far that you'll realize that he was years ahead. And this is not about like Derek's opinion on what
fluoride is. We're talking again about information coming from a government report that proves all the
things he's been saying, the IQ issues and even worse than the neurot, the top the toxicity in general.
And it just doesn't do anything. In fact, again, they fight to keep it in your water.
I mean, it just so mind-blowing to me.
And I'm willing to bet you as soon as this becomes something prominent,
hopefully it does.
Either way, that's a win, but mark my words.
It's going to be something that Tucker Carlson or somebody like that briefly points to,
gives you half the story and then probably fights for some other angle for why it still should be used from some Republican reason.
Like that's what I keep seeing, like the AI conversation.
And maybe we can finish on this if you'd like to comment.
Now the Republican side of Alex Jones just had natural news Mike Adams on.
And they were literally arguing about how this AI is bad.
but here's how we can use AI to fight back.
And again, I'm never one to dismiss that conversation using the kind of tech,
but it's interesting for me.
AI of all things, I think, is the, you know, I'll use some tech to fight back.
But that kind of concept, I'm completely on an absolute no-go kind of mentality.
But I think that's an interesting step and to show you how it all of a sudden becomes the, you know,
the thing that was absolutely not possible is now, well, because the right-wing people say we might
consider it from this angle.
Now suddenly it works and the same in the left.
Anyway, back to the fluoride.
Go ahead. Well, if you want to comment on that all over the place.
No, that's good. I mean, I definitely could foresee something like what you're describing there where we get to a point of, I mean, because the thing is even people like Alex Jones, he was, he was one of the first person that I heard talking about this back in 2010. I don't hear him talk too much about fluoride anymore. And obviously his views and his approach have changed quite a bit. He went from being the person warning everybody about the left, right paradigm to telling everybody to stay in the left right paradigm. But nonetheless, I think that there, you know, funky stuff.
stuff like that could happen, you know, but at the end of the day, we have the truth,
we have the information.
I hope we get some more coverage.
You know, I didn't see the David Knight coverage, so shout out to him, he does good work.
I hope we get more people.
I don't even really care about the credit at the end of the day if the information gets out there.
Yes, it's nice when people show us some love because they know that we've been putting in the work.
And I have sat through hours and hours of court proceedings to get this information to everybody.
And that is tedious and sometimes mind numbing, but I'm prepared to do it again.
