Remigration of Christians, Depression, and Toothpaste

Posted on July 31, 2024July 31, 2024 by admin

This article is based on this Dutch article of Martijn Benders

In England, a mosque was stormed yesterday as a right-wing reaction to a stabbing incident where a boy whose parents came from Rwanda stabbed several girls. On Instagram, I saw a call for ‘remigration’ from the FVD, seemingly triggered by this incident. However, there is a significant problem.

In Rwanda, the religious landscape is predominantly Christian, with a small representation of other faiths. Here is an overview of the major religions with their corresponding percentages:

  • Roman Catholicism: About 43.7% of the population adheres to Roman Catholicism, making it the largest religious group in the country.
  • Protestantism: This group includes various denominations such as Anglicans, Adventists, and Pentecostals. Together, Protestants make up approximately 37.7% of the population.
  • Adventists: Specifically, Adventists make up about 11.8% of the population and are included in the broader Protestant percentage.
  • Islam: Muslims represent about 2% of the population in Rwanda.
  • Other Christian groups: These include smaller Christian denominations that are not categorized under the main Protestant churches, comprising about 4.6%.
  • No religion: About 0.2% of the population identifies as non-religious or atheist.
  • Indigenous beliefs and other small religions: These make up the remainder of the population.

So, the likelihood that the boy was Christian is 98%. Does the FVD want Christians to remigrate? No, I still won’t vote for them. But what an odd Christian Thierry is if he islamizes this incident and uses it as a trigger to call for ‘remigration.’ However, when 80% of Maori children are found to have been abused by the church, we don’t hear Thierry discussing remigration. Why not?

More than 80 percent of Maori children in care institutions were abused or mistreated.

How is it that the ‘script’ appears to be the same everywhere? It’s far too malevolent to be brushed away as celibacy issues. If you have problems with celibacy, you turn to people of easy virtue; you don’t rape a child. No, this deeply sadistic and psychopathic mindset seems to be embedded in this ‘religion.’ And anyone who wishes to identify as ‘Christian’ after such massive scandals, to me, is at least suspicious, but I don’t think anyone should have to remigrate.

But in one of the previous episodes, we saw that the French Girondins, moderately left at heart, were screaming that Koblenz should be razed to the ground because of emigrants. But those emigrants were, in that case, the French noblesse. The Old Testament is never far from the modern white man.

Back to the toothpaste and excess mortality:

Fluoride in drinking water (at least in the USA), fluoride in toothpaste. And a conspiracy theory that says fluoride was also used in concentration camps to keep prisoners docile. This theory traces back to Charles Eliott Perkins, an American biochemist who was strongly opposed to water fluoridation. He wrote the 1952 book The Truth About Water Fluoridation in which he claims that mass fluoridation was a communist technique to control the masses.

Commies in the water and in the toothpaste, then. Unbelievable, but fitting the zeitgeist. But what does science actually say about fluoride and its effects on the nervous system?

Here I already wrote about modern scientific findings that have shown that the ‘fluoride layer’ fluoride creates over our teeth is so incredibly thin that it accomplishes literally nothing. It’s a bit strange, then, to treat half the world’s population via water and the entire world population via toothpaste with fluoride. Why would you do that?

And they just keep going, even now that this has long been known. It is also known that fluoride can lower children’s IQs, read along:

Some studies suggest that high levels of fluoride in drinking water may be associated with lower IQ scores in children and possible neurological effects. For example, a systematic review and meta-analysis published in 2012 found an association between increased fluoride exposure and lowered IQ scores in children.

That’s not exactly good, right? And looking further into the neurological effects of fluoride on animals, we see the following:

  • Mullenix PJ, et al. (1995):
    • Study: “Neurotoxicity of sodium fluoride in rats.”
    • Results: This study found that fluoride exposure in rats led to hyperactivity in younger animals and a reduction in activity in older animals. The researchers suggested that fluoride affects the central nervous system and that the effects vary depending on the age of the animal.
    • Behavioral changes: Hyperactivity in younger rats and reduced activity in older rats.
  • Bartos M, et al. (2015):
    • Study: “Effect of fluoride on the expression of genes involved in serotonergic system regulation in rat brain.”
    • Results: This study examined the effects of fluoride on the expression of genes involved in the regulation of the serotonergic system in rat brains. The findings suggest that fluoride can alter the expression of these genes, indicating possible disruptions in the serotonin system.
    • Behavioral changes: Although this study primarily focused on molecular changes, disruptions in the serotonergic system imply possible behavioral changes such as anxiety and depression-like behavior.
  • Bhatnagar M, et al. (2002):
    • Study: “Biochemical changes in the brain and other tissues of young adult male mice from fluoride in their drinking water.”
    • Results: This study reported that high levels of fluoride exposure led to increased acetylcholinesterase activity and changes in brain biochemistry, which may indicate neurotoxic effects.
    • Behavioral changes: Behavioral changes were not directly measured, but the biochemical changes imply possible effects on cognitive functions and behavior.
  • Liu YJ, et al. (2010):
    • Study: “Effect of fluoride exposure on synaptic structure of brain areas related to learning-memory in mice.”
    • Results: This study found that fluoride exposure led to damage to synaptic structures in brain areas involved in learning and memory.
    • Behavioral changes: Reduced learning and memory, which can lead to behavioral changes such as decreased cognitive performance and possibly anxious or confused behavior.

The second study, Bartos M. from 2015, suggests a causal link between depression and toothpaste. Interesting, isn’t it? Because where do all the loads of depressed people in our culture come from? I don’t find the bullshit job theory sufficient to explain them. By putting people in a constant fluoride stream that partially accumulates in the body, you cause a permanent disruption of the hormone system (and also lower their IQ). And all that for that ‘miraculous layer’ that protects your teeth like Jesus would protect the sinner.

Excess mortality and the PFAS scandal

The corona period was undoubtedly traumatic, and hopefully, we can agree on that. Years later, I still see entire populations preoccupied with ‘excess mortality’ and a government seemingly only interested in ‘the Covfefe feeling.’ But I don’t personally believe that excess mortality can be attributed solely to corona or the experimental treatments: The PFAS scandal is much bigger, and hardly anyone talks about it.

In 2015, a motion was put to a vote to heavily restrict PFAS. Who voted against this motion? D66, our famous environmental allies. Nine years later, it turns out that PFAS is literally everywhere, from our eggs to fruits to seawater. Thank you, D66!

I think the excess mortality and turbo cancers can be attributed more to the PFAS scandal. And no one mentions it, while whole populations are preoccupied with those insignificant injections, though they were indeed fairly dangerous.

Incidentally, what does the F in PFAS stand for? Fluoride, indeed. And so, the circle is complete. Everything is sprinkled with fluoride compounds, thanks to our politicians. Resulting in turbo cancer, and those Big Pharma injections are a mere red herring in comparison. But I understand the trauma and steadfastness of these people: if only politicians had known them in their lives.

Castles Get Kicked in the Bricks each Summer

Let’s face it: some backpacks just carry your stuff. This one tells your entire life philosophy in one ridiculous, multilingual joke. Imagine strolling into a museum, a bus stop, or your ex's new wedding—with a bag that declares, in ten languages, that castles are always the losers of summer.

Why? Because deep down, you know:

  • Tourists always win.
  • History has a sense of humor.
  • And you, my friend, are not carrying your lunch in just any nylon sack—you’re carrying it in a medieval meltdown on your shoulders.

This backpack says:

  • “I’ve been to four castles, hated three, and got kicked out of one for asking where the dragons were.”
  • “I appreciate heritage sites, but I also think they could use a bit more slapstick.”
  • “I’m cute, I’m moopish, and I will absolutely picnic on your parapet.”

It’s absurd.
It’s philosophical.
It holds snacks.

In short, it’s not just a backpack—it’s a mobile monument to glorious collapse.

And honestly? That’s what summer’s all about.

Philosophy thirts

Feeling surveilled? Alienated by modernity? Accidentally started explaining biopolitics at brunch again? Then it’s time to proudly declare your loyalties (and your exhaustion) with our iconic “I’m with Fuckold” shirt.

This tee is for those who’ve:

  • Said “power is everywhere” in a non-BDSM context.
  • Tried to explain Discipline and Punish to their cat.
  • Secretly suspect the panopticon is just their neighbour with binoculars.

Wearing this shirt is a cry of love, rebellion, and post-structural despair. It says:
“Yes, I’ve read Foucault. No, I will not be okay.”

Stay tuned for more philosophical shirts and backpacks, as we at Benders are working on an entire collection that will make even the ghost of Hegel raise an eyebrow.
