How much truth do these statements hold?, page 1

At 5:52, 6:05, and 6:18.

From what I can tell from the first question, the statement about topically-applied fluoride not preventing tooth decay is correct, but I don't know about the "spy satellites" thing. The second remark about aglets seems rather bogus. I interpret that as there being tracking devices in our shoelaces, but if we were to be tracked, there are many other options. If there's another interpretation of it, I'd like to hear it. On the third part, he's saying "magic" something, but I don't understand what the word is, so maybe somebody can help me on that one and say if the comment has any substance.

the flouride part (apart from satellite bit) is ok.
the aglets bit is just silly.
the magic bullet being created by the illuminati mystics is absolutely ridiculous....

Don't know what you are hoping for really?

Well you are overlooking the fact that I watched your cartoon, and considered it before coming to the conclusion that it was a writer poking fun at conspiracy theorists.

The Aglet thing was so obviously untrue that it clued me in, hence the "gut feeling" that I was left with that dissuaded me from pursuing the matter further.

One has a limited amount of time and energy as a human. It is wise to use discrimination or discernment to narrow down the things one chooses to spend ones time on. If I had just completely turned a blind eye, I would have stopped the moment I saw Superman on the screen. I didnt, I watched it, drew a conclusion and thats that.

If you actually do pursue every single claim, no matter how fantastical as your rebuttal of me seems to indicate, you must be a very busy person. All those unicorns, Flying Spaghetti monsters and such to research....

I'm really sick of arguing with smart alecs on ATS, so I'll take your advice and not waste my time pursing a conversation with you anymore.

He says "bullets"? It doesn't sound like it, but I'll take your word for it. I wasn't really hoping for anything much, since my post didn't have an absurd prediction about volcanic eruptions or aliens in it, but it never hurts to try.

Yep, the old magic bullet theory....

What cartoon is that from anyway?
I hope your research proves fruitful anyway... glad to have helped and good luck
