And let's not be offended when we are called fascists.

KEEP ON SMOKING - The "terrible addictivness" of nicotine has always been one of the pivotal points of anti-tobacco propaganda. Many departments and ministries of health have used their authority to convince a gullible population of this lie. Unfortunately, we must add, with a certain amount of success. However, the nicotine's ability to "addict" is OK when nicotine is marketed by the pharmaceutical industry -- and it's no longer addictive -- at worst, it's habit-forming!!

"The view that nicotine, when it is not smoked, is a relatively benign and possibly beneficial drug is gaining acceptance among scientists as well as physicians, particularly those who run smoking-cessation programs." We wonder why! Well, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out.

The truth is that the pharmaceutical industry-supported "scientists" and the rest of the anti-smoking cartel are shameless prostitutes.

Here is why:

• Nicotine is NOT addictive

• Smoking is NOT responsible for 1/10 of the disease attributed to it. Positive causality is NEVER established. It is like condemning people to prison basing the trials exclusively on third-hand, vague circumstantial evidence -- and nothing else.

• Smoking-cessation advocates are paid stooges of the pharmaceutical industry.

• The salaries of many -- too many -- "scientists" barking the nicotine-addiction scam song are paid directly or indirectly by the pharmaceutical industry.

• The anti-smoking drive is not to get people to quit the habit, but to change nicotine supplier from tobacco to pharmaceutical manufacturers.

• All of the above amounts to fraud and racketeering by the anti-tobacco cartel, the government, and all those scientists and physicians who have a clear vested interest in lying to children and adults about smoking.

And especially, don't allow them to lie to you.

Arizona: Curricula on smoking subpoenaed - WHAT DO YOU KNOW: ANTISMOKING SCUM IS UNCOMFORTABLE WHEN INVESTIGATED BY THE OPPOSITION! - America's top tobacco companies have subpoenaed Arizona's largest school districts, demanding a broad range of materials used since 1950 to educate students about the "dangers" of smoking. This does not sit well with the antismoking scum, which is becoming very nervous at the prospect, though the Industry assured that "We don't need to see every last book..."

Why are the antis nervous about this? If they don't have anything to hide... It is not difficult to speculate that if just one tenth of the lies about tobacco taught to children is taken to court, the pharmaceutical-supported anti-tobacco cartel would have to ask its benefactors for billions of dollars to keep them out of jail!

And Banzhaf from ASH comments: "You just can't say, 'Hell no,' " to a subpoena!" You bet you can't, you lardy liar. You bet you can't.

COMPULSIVE LIARS APPEAL AGAINST THE TRUTH - If the Clinton Administration would not leave lies and frauds as a legacy, it would not leave any legacy at all.

The Administration has appealed against judge Osteen's decision on the frauds of EPA. That move was expected, for without it, all the local smoking bans, based on the EPA pillar of frauds, would have to be nullified. It is no coincidence that the anti-smoking scum is working very hard to consolidate smoking prohibition while still arguing against judge Osteen's decision. When a higher court will finally confirm the truth, the doors of jails will be wide open for many operatives of the cartel.

Following the wave of compulsive lies of Clinton, EPA Administrator Carol Browner says that ``Health study after health study confirms the serious risks posed by second-hand smoke,'' completely ignoring that ALL STUDIES EVER PERFORMED ON SECONDHAND SMOKE (EXCEPT ONE) FAILED TO REVEAL ANY STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT LINK BETWEEN ETS AND DISEASE, (see Passive smoking and disease in The Evidence) including the most recent STUDIES BY THE US-FUNDED WHO (in , The Evidence's subsection: The ETS WHOPPER), and notwithstanding the WHO's denial in the face of its own findings.

But it is quite evident that this administration and its creatures are capable to spasmodically lie and deny even in front of the most blatant evidence. They don't have the maturity and the wisdom to quit when it is appropriate. Therefore, it is HIGH TIME to slam this Administration of liars in jail where it belongs, starting from Bill Clinton, and all the way down to the EPA, FDA, and CDC dogs, who have been instructed to alter and distort information when it comes to smoking, or other political targets.

CINCINNATI AIRPORT GETS HEAT FOR RECOGNIZING SMOKERS' RIGHTS - The anti-tobacco cartel has filed a complaint against the Cincinnati Airport because of smokers' accommodation. The airport administration has reacted by telling the cartel basically where to go. The complaint is based on the non-existing dangers of second-hand smoke "affecting persons with disabilities."

While the real disability is in the brain and the soul of anti-tobacco criminals, many people still believe secondhand smoke to be a danger to their health. The overwhelming amount of evidence to the contrary has not filtered down to the population -- yet. Travellers, remember who is friendly and who is not. Go through the Cincinnati airport when you can!

AHA Announces 1998 National Public Service Award Recipients: THE WHORE PRAIZES THE PIMPS - The stomach-turning award by the American Hearth Association is on its way: one of the organizations who are most prostituted to junk science and social control is getting ready to prize the most distinguished anti-tobacco scum of the United States. People of the like of McCain will be presented with a National Special Recognition Award for attempting to loot American smokers, for example.

Past recipients of the AHA's National Public Service Awards include most of the people that FORCES strives to jail: C. Everett Koop and Henry Waxman are just two examples, not to mention former FDA Commissioner, Dr. David Kessler.

Much like the Mafia, a good and respectable record being how many people have been hurt, looted, ripped off and lied to, the American Heart Association prises the worst individuals who have lied to the world, and received money from the pharmaceutical industry to do so. The prizing of these people speaks conclusively about what kind of delinquency organizations like the AHA, or the American Cancer Society are capable of.

THE CANCER OF LAWSUITS SPREADS TO CANADA - Quebec lines up for the loot. Lawyers for three smokers have asked Quebec Superior Court to hear the suit against Imperial Tobacco Ltd., Rothmans Inc. and RJR MacDonald Inc. The article uses the usual terminology of "addiction to nicotine", typical of the anti-tobacco gang. In a way, we welcome the legal actions in British Columbia and now in Quebec, for they will give a political and legal bloody nose to the anti-tobacco bastards -- and the leaches who are their marionettes -- and set the record straight for years to come. We only hope that, after the victory, the tobacco industry will sue the anti-tobacco cartel for the billions of dollars of damage caused by this defamation campaign. Certainly, FORCES will be in the plaintiffs' list, to help bury (and possibly jail) the enemies of free choice and self-determination. It is about time that the rulers get jailed, and we will do anything in our power to make it happen.

A BLOW TO PRIVATE ENTERPRISE AND CHOICE IN QUEBEC - SUPERIOR COURT UPHOLDS ORDER OF PHARMACISTS DIKTAT - A blow to freedom and private enterprise was dealt Saturday September 5th by the anti-tobacco cartel to the pharmacies of Quebec, after the Superior Court upheld a ban on tobacco sales in drugstores. Mr. Jean Coutu has fought the battle for business people's self-determination against the oppression of the Order of Pharmacists, who has single-handedly determined that selling tobacco is an "ethical conflict". The Order of Pharmacists has sold out to the falsifications of the anti-tobacco cartel since last year, when the Ontario pharmacies were forced to eliminate the sales of tobacco. Of course, this will simply mean that corner and department stores will sell more cigarettes, and it will not affect the smoking rates in the slightest.

BRITISH MOMS IGNORE HEALTH SCARES - Reuters, long prostituted to the anti-tobacco doctrine because supported by a pharmaceutical industry only too eager to replace the tobacco industry in the distribution of nicotine, keeps vomiting anti-smoking goo at every opportunity.

MINNESOTA: ANTI-TOBACCO CARTEL MAY KEEP THE LOOT - The criminal anti-tobacco cartel, with the complicity of the court, has been allowed to keep the loot from the tobacco industry in Minnesota. The poor fools who supported the cartel against the tobacco industry, and then wanted the loot themselves, have gotten the dirty end of the stick. The money will end up into the pockets of Blue Cross, and it WILL be used to divulge fraudulent science to be used in anti-tobacco propaganda. While there is no honor among thieves, the bigger criminals not only prevail, but they get unpunished, while the real loser is society itself.

WASHINGTON STATE: THE LATEST WORRIES OF THE ANTI-TOBACCO SCUM - Our congratulations to Bloomberg News for their balance in reporting these news.

So, anti-tobacco scum lawyers are worried that the ads that the tobacco industry runs to make the population see the other side of the debate in the most destructive anti-cultural campaign in the history of North America may get the jury to be more sympathetic to the tobacco industry.

' "One of my biggest concerns is with the jury listening to these damned ads,'' said Steve Berman, the trial lawyer for the state of Washington, which goes to trial this month in its lawsuit against the industry.'

Of course, there is absolutely no objection when the jurors are exposed to anti-smoking commercials, loaded with the worst kind of scientific and statistical frauds imaginable, like for example, the 3,000 kids who start smoking every day -- except that they are over 21! These commercials are paid by organization that should be legally dismantled on the basis of fraud alone, and their directors tried and jailed without delay. But such is the philosophy of the new anti-tobacco leftist scum, of which President Clinton is the maximum expression:

"My lies are true, and if I am caught in the act is none of your business anyway. Just keep giving me money and power, and don't be hard-nosed. Your truth is a lie and it elicits my contempt, so I'll punish you for speaking it, and slander you for daring to stand up." Confusing, isn't it?

SMOKERS ARE NOT CITIZENS: THE LATEST INSULT BY THE PUTRID ANTI-TOBACCO CARTEL - "Anti-tobacco lawyers want the judge in Florida's $500 billion class-action lawsuit against cigarette makers to ban smokers from the jury that will decide the landmark case, a court official said on Thursday." - If anybody still has a doubt about the racist and fascist attitude of the anti-tobacco lawyers towards smokers, this article should settle the issue.

The lurid anti tobacco cartel does not consider smokers capable of judging a legal case, nor it wants their perception of the world reflected in a legal judgement. How much more evidence do we need to explode in an outrage that wipes this scum off the face of the United States, and the rest of the world? How can these putrid individuals be allowed to get away with this? Will the court demonstrate to be like the anti-tobacco scum by granting the request? Let's stay tuned.

LUNG CANCER NEEDS MORE ATTENTION - In this interesting letter to the Kansas City Star from a lung cancer patient, we see the consequences of politics polluting science and social services. In dedicating itself to the persecution of smokers and the spreading of distorted or fraudulent information, "...in 1980, the American Cancer Society recommended against testing for early detection of lung cancer to focus instead on primary prevention of cigarette smoking."

And that is logical. Early detection of lung cancer does not bring in government contributions, nor it fills the pockets of universities or other "health" institutions through "studies" that usually straddle the line between professional incompetence and scientific frauds to fulfil the political agenda of those who release the grants.

No surprise that, notwithstanding the decline in smoking, the number of lung cancers is going up dramatically. Is this criminal negligence? Well, the lawyers of the largest ... Ah-hem ... "health" organization in the world would argue that it's not -- and probably they would be right -- legally. But morally (if such word still means anything in today's socialist North America) that's exactly what it is.

MEDIA BIAS, AN OUT-OF-CONTROL EPIDEMIC - Although this article from the Washington Times, with comments from The Science & Environmental Policy Project, does not address tobacco, it adroitly skewers the media bias that is undermining the credibility of honest scientists. Over the past few decades the media have become uncritical cheerleaders for government control and bureaucratic activism. Soon we can just combine the newspapers and networks into a new Pravda for the American masses

A BLOW TO PRIVATE ENTERPRISE AND CHOICE IN QUEBEC - SUPERIOR COURT UPHOLDS ORDER OF PHARMACISTS DIKTAT - A blow to freedom and private enterprise was dealt Saturday September 5th by the anti-tobacco cartel to the pharmacies of Quebec, after the Superior Court upheld a ban on tobacco sales in drugstores. Mr. Jean Coutu has fought the battle for business people's self-determination against the oppression of the Order of Pharmacists, who has single-handedly determined that selling tobacco is an "ethical conflict".

The Order of Pharmacists has sold out to the falsifications of the anti-tobacco cartel since last year, when the Ontario pharmacies were forced to eliminate the sales of tobacco. Of course, this will simply mean that corner and department stores will sell more cigarettes, and it will not affect the smoking rates in the slightest. Once again, the dictatorship of the health establishment will ruin businesses in the attempt to impose its frauds on free citizens. This criminal behaviour must be stopped, and once again it motivates us to step up the fight to put the criminal cartel in jail where it belongs.

Our congratulations to Mr. Coutu for his defiance, and courage.

HITLER YOUTH REDUX - Fifty years ago we fought a war to destroy the Third Reich. We now tolerate a Health Reich in our own country where politicians from the White House down to the state house adopt the tactics of the Nazi's to advance their insane goal of eradicating smoking. To rope our youth into the thuggish behavior practiced by Nazi Brown Shirts is an insult to every man and woman who bravely fought to end the horrors of Hitler's evil regime.

THE NET WIDENS, YOU'RE NEXT - Smoker rights activists sometimes feel like Cassandra, the Trojan princess who could foretell the future but was cursed with forever being disbelieved. We've been saying for quite some time that smoking is only the first step in bringing us all under control. Not only is it not about health, it's not even about smoking. As this perceptive article from the San Francisco Examiner clearly demonstrate, the Health Fascists want you.

WINDFALL FOR THE DEMOCRATS - Trial lawyers are the bane of America. We all support their exquisitely uphostered existence by paying higher costs for goods and services. It's no surprise that this plague of locusts greatly appreciates the politicians who rig and corrupt the legal system to shakedown the tobacco industry. With the millions of dollars flowing to the thieves, the favored politicians, generally Democrats, are sure to be awash with cash this election

GOOD NICOTINE, BAD NICOTINE - When is nicotine good and wonderful? Answer; when its sold by a drug company at an exorbitant cost to suckers who have been bullied into switching from organic products to chemical devices. Johnson & Johnson, with the assistance of the San Francisco Chronicle, is marketing a nicotine delivery device that looks like a cigarette. If any more proof is needed of the collusion between the pharmaceutical companies and anti-smoking pressure groups like the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, look no further.

$$$ IT'S FOR THE CHILDREN...AND THERE'S A BRIDGE IN BROOKLYN...$$$ - With the defeat of the McCain tax bill, the "For the Children" shrieks for anti-tobacco tyranny are loosing any pretence of relevance. Even from benighted San Francisco the word is getting out that the primary purpose of anti-tobacco is to transfer money from the working class to the parasites in Public Health.

ANTI-TOBACCO SCHIZOPHRENIA - The bloated highway bill signed into law this June by President Clinton prohibits veterans from receiving disability payments if they developed lung cancer, emphysema or other diseases from smoking. Few actions better illustrate the insanity promoted by anti-tobacco than the contradictory messages sent to the public by the government. On the one hand, we are told that once nicotine gets its hooks into an individual breaking the addiction is almost impossible. On the other hand, when the government distributes this "addictive" substance to troops serving the country it's not really addictive. If they don't quit smoking and get sick its their own fault.

Either nicotine is addictive and Uncle Sam, as the pusher, must bear responsibility for addicting our servicemen or it isn't really an addiction and individuals must bear responsibility for their choices. Can't have it both ways. Popping up in this report from The San Francisco Examiner like a hyperactive Jack-In-The-Box, is anti-tobacco operative Richard Daynard. Daynard, who lives off the public trough, was once awarded $1-Million to travel the country clueing state attorneys general into creative ways to sue the cigarette companies. Our veterans can take comfort that the same government denying them benefits has plenty of money to lavish on government grant junkies like Daynard.

TOBACCO INDUSTRY VICTORIOUS ON ALL FRONTS -- AND JAIL IS GETTING CLOSER FOR THE ANTI-TOBACCO CARTEL OPERATIVES TEXAS COURT THROWS OUT LABOR HEALTH CARE FUND CASE EXTENDING TOBACCO INDUSTRY'S NATIONWIDE STRING OF VICTORIES - " Continuing a strong nationwide trend, a federal judge in Texas dismissed all 17 claims in a union health care fund lawsuit against the tobacco industry. Three Texas funds sought reimbursement for medical costs attributable to the alleged smoking-related illnesses of their members." " ' This ruling marks the ninth time since April that courts have summarily dismissed or gutted attempts by labor funds to sue the tobacco industry for the health care costs of their members, ' said Steven B. Rissman, senior counsel for Philip Morris. ' We have said all along that time honored rules of law should not change merely because the defendant is politically unpopular. ' " IDAHO: JUDGE THROWS OUT TOBACCO ILLS CLAIMS - And after the industry wraps it up on the civil litigation front, we as independent citizens and organizations are already getting busy with the criminal end of things. A free and just nation cannot afford to let many of the criminals of the anti-tobacco cartel walk as free men under any circumstances. Since prisons are such an industry in the United States, it would make good business sense for prison developers to start planning new full-size prisons for the operative cartel -- definitely they are going to need them. But, differently from anti-tobacco operatives, we are not without compassion: they will inhabit smoke-free cells!
