How much truth do these statements hold?

YouTube Link

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.

No response? Was this the wrong forum to make this topic on, or is everybody just busy with all the Israel/Palestine topics?

Well, I cant speak for everyone else, but I after viewing the clip and listening to the parts you indicate, I just dont want to spend any real time researching the answer because it is a cartoon. My overall gut feeling is that the writer of the cartoon was poking fun at the conspiracy theorists, not embedding any deep secrets about the world in a Superman cartoon for us to uncover.

Just my two cents.

You know, I find this statement to be ironic. I often hear skeptics saying they don't want to research other subjects (9/11, UFOs, etc.) since they're "conspiracy theories." I'm not sure whether the writer was poking fun at it or not, but fluoride not doing anything good for one's teeth is truthful, so that's why I'm asking people's opinions on the rest of it.

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.

Not bullets but bullet, if you can't hear that... get new speakers, new headphones or... i dunno??

seriously... it's as clear as day? "there was magic bullet/s.. it was forged by illuminati mystics to prevent us from learning the truth"

Your're getting flack so i understand your hostility but i am not trying to attack you... just wondering what is the point of the thread.

Didn't the Nazis put flouride in the concentration camp's drinking water?

I doubt they really cared about the dental hygene of the inmates...

I don't know about the other stuff but a good conspiracy is always something that attracts interest and debate so conspiracies are often used in entertainment.

Sometimes I wonder if a lot of conspiracies aren't just a form of entertainment.

Well, I don't hear it, but I found the transcript of the episode, and it is indeed "magic bullet."

After further research, "magic bullet" is referring to the single bullet theory of John F. Kennedy, which suggests that there was another assassin that helped out Lee Harvey Oswald. If you tie that in with Illuminati "mystics" preventing us from learning the "truth," it looks like the third statement doesn't sound as bogus anymore. Interesting.

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
