Idiocracy

I saw the movie "Idiocracy" a few months ago.  It's not normally the kind of thing that I enjoy because it was so crude, however, I watched it because it made a few points that seem to be frighteningly accurate.  Idiocracy is set approximately 500 years in the future.  The sad reality is, we are heading very quickly toward an idiocracy even now.  At the rate that we are going, it can happen and one could make an argument that there are signs of it even now.

For starters, the foods that we eat (sugar, fluoride and arsenic) are contributing to the dumbing down of society.  Fluoride reduces IQ and murders the abilities of the thyroid which makes people seem lazy (and causes weight gain) because a common hypothyroid symptom is fatigue.  Sugar maintains learning disabilities and may even have a hand in causing them.  In one study, school age students did significantly better on the TOVA test (Test of Variables of Attention), when refined sugar was simply removed from their diet.  So if fluoride reduces IQ, if sugar reduces the ability to learn and if these two ingredients are in almost EVERYTHING that Americans consume; we would be foolish to believe that we aren't creating a generation of people who can not think clearly.  I'm sad to say that toxic food and water is just the beginning.  The thimerosal in vaccines LITERALLY destroys brain cells.  Remember an earlier post of mine about how mercury causes neuron degeneration?  Haven't we tripled the amount of vaccines in the schedule over the last 20 years?  That means we have way increased the amount of mercury that we are voluntarily injecting into our babies' systems.  In other words we are chemically disabling an entire generation.  Although some can handle these chemicals better than others, the increase in the schedule will cause a considerable decrease in the number of children who can handle it (which is why autism shot from 1 in 5000 children back in 1980 to 1 in 100 children today).  When young students have trouble in school, the answer most often seems to be medication; which is interesting since most of those psychotropic drugs are full of fluoride which only further depletes the IQ and further damages the thyroid.  On top of that, our education system is allowing functionally illiterate students graduate high school at alarming numbers which means that many of our education systems are failing.

I'm still not even scraping the surface yet, but let's put together the points that I've made so far:  There is the decline of IQ (sugar and fluoride) and brain power (vaccines) in conjunction with the decline in the education system.  Putting all of this together, how can we not expect near future generations to end up as an idiocracy?

Yes, the movie is a comedy.  I got a chuckle out of it, but for the most part I was horrified.  There were many parts of the movie that hit too close to home as it demonstrated a track that I see many are already on.
