Is this the profile of a person concerned with the health of people, or the profile of an arrogant, power inebriated hypocrite who needs to be shut down by the people? More precisely, this is the oh-so-common profile of an anti-tobacco operative.

BOB DOLE. SHOULD THIS UNINDICTED CO-CONSPIRATOR BE COMPELLED TO TURN STATE'S EVIDENCE? - CLINTON'S JUSTICE DEPARTMENT - INVENTING THE RULES - Bill Clinton's search for a legacy has forever been eclipsed by the only fact future generations are likely to know about this strange man. He is the only elected president of the United States to be impeached. Like a panic stricken rat faced with innumerable choices on its run through the maze, Clinton veers left, right, up and down frenetically seeking at least one accomplishment that will enthrone him on Mt. Rushmore.

Relying on an amoral, toe-sucking advisor with as high a character as Clinton himself possesses, he donned the mantle of tobacco crusader, even though he is a smoker himself. One after another, his anti-tobacco initiatives have bit the dust. His illegal scheme to expand the power of the Food and Drug Administration to control tobacco was thrown out by the courts. His Environmental Protection Agency's second-hand smoke scam has been vacated and labeled a fraud by a federal judge. His plan to completely nationalize the tobacco industry couldn't get past first base in Congress. When Bill Clinton takes on the tobacco industry he looses.

In perhaps his final gamble, Clinton pressured Attorney Janet Reno to sue the tobacco industry along lines similar to the state suits that have enshrined government racketeering into law. It is obvious to everyone that this federal suit is strictly Cintonian politics at its most blatant. Throughout his administration, the Justice Department conducted as many as six simultaneous investigations focusing on allegedly illegal activities by the industry. When the dust settled, the administration uncovered absolutely no illegal actions.

Unless the industry caves - always a very real possibility - this latest roll of the dice will also come to naught. The collateral damage that is being wrought upon this country cannot, however, be ignored. One particularly egregious charge against the industry is that it disputed the official line of the government. At one time public disagreement with the government's policies would be known as exercising the First Amendment. Under Clinton and cowed political hacks such as Reno, contrary views are known as racketeering. If allowed to prevail, Clinton will have turned us all into the thugs and thieves that have permeated this most corrupt administration.

ROUT OF THE NEW EVIL EMPIRE - This article is full of false clichés about the consequences of tobacco use for health since its author is obviously ignorant (or willing to be ignorant) of the actual near-zero solidity of the "evidence" against smoking.

"Anti-smokers are undoubtedly right to say that big tobacco failed to come clean about the harmful effects of smoking (though why people should choose to listen to the industry's advertisements rather than the surgeon-general's health warnings is not clear)."

The explanation for that is quite simple: the surgeon-general is a political figure, thus he is vulnerable to the politics of the administration that appoints him. The surgeon general has been lobbied, and bombarded by fraudulent and distorted information about the health consequences of tobacco year after year and, like a parrot, he has ended up repeating the words. The US surgeon general, like any other authority (health or otherwise) is neither a god, nor is a demi-god. He is a fallible and corruptible person like anybody else.

Fortunately, this Economist article redeems itself by highlighting things that will inevitably come -- unless the health cartel is fully exposed, its back broken, and politics are reversed.

"There is no reason why this should stop with smoking. What about drinking? Many boozers share smokers' subversive belief that quality of life is more important than quantity. What about skiing or paragliding? Both activities not only involve risks to their participants but also costs to the people who have to clear up after their mistakes. And what about the national epidemic of obesity? Fat people not only impose huge costs on society because they are [sic] tend to be unhealthier than thin ones. They are also damned annoying when you have to sit next to them on airliners. Forcing people to be thin may seem a little far-fetched. But then so did banning smoking in bars just a few years ago."

THE INTERNATIONAL ANTI-TOBACCO CARTEL WANTS TO AMERICANISE THE WORLD - U.N. KICKS OFF ANTI-SMOKING DRIVE - "Yach said the United Nations will tailor its campaign to conform with cultural sensitivities. A poster of a cowboy with a limp cigarette and a warning that tobacco use can cause impotence, for example, might be appropriate in Asia but not in the conservative Middle East, he said."

Sorry, Mr. Yach (your name says it all, anyway): a lie is a lie no matter how you dress it. And we, along with many others, pledged long ago to expose the frauds you represent - and to punish those who support and create them.

"Things we would never tolerate are commonplace in foreign countries," said Colleen Stevens of the tobacco control section at California's Department of Health Services. "Here, people worry when they see kids buying cigarettes. In other countries they are allowed to sell them."

Cool! … And who, in his right mind, ever said that the United States is a socially advanced country? ...Sorry, American co-fighters, but virtually all of you who have sanity left (that's why you are fighting anti-tobacco) agree that the US is going through an unprecedented, severe and accelerating social involution in these last 10 years. Proof? Violence, Clinton, contempt for the greatest Constitution on Earth, anti-tobacco -- just to mention a few. Besides, a lot of Americans are quite tolerant of tobacco. Only the fascist-minded ones are not.

And now, the US wants to force the world to "de-evolve" as it did using, among other means, moppets like the World Health Organisation and the United Nations to push the anti-tobacco agenda and its frauds, moral degeneration, and looting on the entire world.

Sorry, anti-tobacco bastards, you had it easy in the US and its satellite countries - but it is a completely different ballgame in other cultures. We will make sure of that!

ANOTHER DEFEAT FOR THE ANTI-TOBACCO CARTEL - U.S. JUDGE DISMISSES ASBESTOS TRUST TOBACCO SUIT - "A federal court has thrown out a lawsuit filed against the tobacco industry by the Manville Personal Injury Settlement Trust created to pay claims filed by asbestos victims, Philip Morris Cos (NYSE:MO - news) said on Wednesday."

"The trust had sued the tobacco companies to recover money paid to asbestos victims in settlements or court judgments alleging that some of the injuries were caused by a combination of smoking and asbestos exposure."

Wow! Is this ever a real piece of twisting and enmeshing! … And what percentage of which caused what, exactly? One can say: 'never mind, nobody knows, nobody cares, it cannot be proven, and the case has been thrown out anyway.' But the asbestos-making corporation (Johns Manville) was driven to seek Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 1982. Asbestos has been used for decades for its low-cost and high efficiency before discovering that it was a carcinogen.

The very concept that a corporation can be destroyed because the product it makes turns out to be potentially harmful AFTER the fact is quite stomach turning -- and extremely dangerous, for God knows how many products currently used today will turn out to be "harmful" tomorrow. All it takes is political interests, a few extortionist lawyers, and the appropriate amount of junk science.

PROFESSIONAL PERJURER JULIUS RICHMOND TAKES THE STAND IN FLORIDA AND, OF COURSE, COMMITS PERJURY AGAIN - TESTIMONY CONTRADICTS TOBACCO INDUSTRY - Julius Richmond, former Surgeon General of the United States, has taken the stand yesterday, and under oath has stated that: "Thirty years of smoking - not other factors cited Tuesday by industry attorneys - caused Mary Farnan to develop lung cancer."

Julius Richmond has just committed the crime of perjury -- again. There is no proof that tobacco smoke is the sole responsible for a disease that has over 40 concomitant factors.

Richmond has a long history of perjury on tobacco. Since 1997 he has earned a prominent position in our Book of Infamy for his perjury in the Florida flight attendants scam trial on second-hand smoke. Richmond belongs to a long list of malefactors who one day, we hope, we'll help to secure to justice.

A panel that has already decided that cigarettes are "a defective product" (but it has never indicated what a "non-defective" cigarette is), and that the tobacco companies had engaged in ''extreme and outrageous conduct'' in selling and marketing their product without, of course, indicating what a "correct" way to market a legal product is, now must carry on with yet another mockery of justice Florida has become famous for.

If (sorry -- when) the 300-billion award will be given to a package of criminals who neither have nor need any solid evidence for their claims, the tobacco industry may be in financial danger, and the real criminal cartel that so far has been limiting its activities to heroin and ecstasy marketing will seriously consider taking over the tobacco market as well.

Oh, well - as we always said: it takes real criminals to fight real criminals, and the gangsters on the right side of their own laws are already losing the war on drugs…

FLORIDA TRIAL: A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION - FLORIDA COURT MOVES ON ENGLE CASE, TOBACCO STOCKS RISE - "The Florida Supreme Court on Wednesday signaled it might block a giant lump-sum damage award hanging over cigarette companies, boosting tobacco stocks hurt by investor concerns about a massive sick-smokers' lawsuit."

"The state's highest court issued an order asking plaintiffs in the Engle sick-smokers suit to respond to a cigarette makers' request that the court throw out the massive class-action case that some say could cost the industry $300 billion to $500 billion in damages." Though this is good news, still the painful display of pettiness and greed by the anti-tobacco gangsters and their lawyers continues. For example, chief extortionist Rosenblatt asked the jury: "What caused Mary Farnan's lung cancer? Every day, every week, puff, puff, puff ... the cigarettes caused her lung damage.''

NOT SO -- you callous liar! There is NO PROOF that smoking by itself causes lung cancer, or ANY cancer, for that matter. The only thing puffed here is medical frauds forced in the heads of the jurors, and the public -- for money.

JUSTICE! CALIFORNIA JUDGE DOES NOT FALL FOR THE FRAUDS ON SECOND-HAND SMOKE - JUDGE PRAGER ON RULING IN CALIFORNIA TOBACCO SUIT: COMMENT - Totally ignored by the mass media that are accomplices to the anti-tobacco frauds and propaganda, the tobacco industry has achieved a significant victory in California concerning second-hand smoke.

Superior Court Judge Ronald S. Prager has denied a preliminary injunction against Philip Morris Cos. and other tobacco companies, which would have barred them from selling cigarettes in California until they provide clear warnings on the dangers of second-hand smoke.

The anti-tobacco cartel is trying to force the tobacco industry to print warnings on cigarette packages about the non-existing dangers of second-hand smoke. What cannot be proven with real science, the antismoking criminals try to "prove" it with frauds, and when that does not work either, they have no scruples in using force.

But Judge Prager did not fall for the lies -- probably putting at serious risk his future career. But sometimes there still are those who cannot be intimidated or bought out by bullies and criminals, no matter what.

PLUGGING HOLES IN THE DIKE - We all know the story of the heroic Dutch lad who withheld the North Sea's onslaught by holding his finger in the dike until the protecting ediface could be repaired. In a perverted reversal of the story we witness almost daily the anti-tobacco cartel rushing from hole to hole vainly attempting to plug their crumbling ediface of lies. The good news for decent folks is that the cartel's fate is to drown in a cleansing flood of truth that will totally submerge the squalor they have constructed.

Last year, President Clinton, when he wasn't denying his affair with Monica Lewinsky, appeared before the nation piously repeating the mantra that every day 3,000 children begin smoking. What many in the press didn't note at the time was that his numbers were culled from a study of 20 YEAR OLD ADULTS.

With its "3,000 children" lie exposed, the cartel is busy plugging that hole with even more dubious material. Forget the 3,000, says the cartel. According to the University of California - San Diego, it's actually 5,000 minors per day who try their first cigarette and 2,000 of them become regular smokers.

The validity of this "study" is as solid as the reputation of the institute involved and there is no major academic organization that has prostituted itself so abasely as has the University of California in its quest for anti-tobacco funding. The only real, and unintended, howler is the hilarious definition of what defines a "regular" smoker. Take a look at the story and marvel at the futility of the cartel's efforts to keep its dike of deception intact.

UNCLE SAM WANTS TO REGULATE WHERE YOU SMOKE… AND KNOW WHERE YOUR PIGGYBANK IS, TOO! - FEDERAL RESERVE WANTS TRACKING DEVICES TO TAX US CURRENCY - Although this is just a very controversial proposal for now, everything and anything that is turned to the limitation of personal choice and liberty through regulation, taxation, propaganda and technological monitoring must be taken damn seriously nowadays - and perceived as a clear threat, for it is likely to happen.

The state control operatives who are working for the actual implementation of the One World Order garbage will be forced to control people in their deepest intimacy to achieve their communist goals. Is the United States becoming the political revenge of the Soviet Union? Don't laugh - Bill Clinton is in power, and he is going to leave a dreadful legacy.

COMMON SENSE AND REALISM IS NOT LOST IN THE WORLD - DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH FOR A SMOKE-FREE WORLD - ' The World Health Organization on Monday launched negotiations on a treaty to curb worldwide smoking and ban tobacco advertising, hoping to capitalize on the growing anti-smoking sentiment in the U.S. courts and political system. But curbing tobacco use in the developing world may require cultural as well as legal changes. "Despite accusations that the U.S. is dumping poisonous products on unsophisticated markets, a lot of people in the Third World actually like to smoke and American cigarettes are a prized status symbol," says TIME U.N. correspondent William Dowell. "There's a lot of skepticism about anti-smoking efforts in the U.S." '

That's right. Moreover, as soon as those countries are informed on the systematic frauds and distorsions of the international anti-tobacco cartel, they'll give the physical boot to all the anti-smoking activists and the paid anti-tobacco operatives as they -- and their dishonest campaign -- deserve.

More on "The Insider":
THE HEROES OF THE ANTI-TOBACCO CARTEL AND ITS MINIONS - More on the truth behind "The Insider" by Walt Disney Production. This made its debut in the US during the last weekend of October.

The Insider portrays Jeffrey S. Wigand, fired as research chief at the Brown Williamson Tobacco Corporation in March 1993, as a "whistle blower" against Brown Williamson, the cigarette manufacturer.

So goes the propaganda. The truth, however, is quite different, as described below in this page. We now publish the letter of a former employer of Wigand. While this employer seems to be himself affected by anti-tobacco propaganda, he shows at least moral integrity by speaking out against a crook that has been turned into a hero by a Walt Disney Productions, a Mickey Mouse business that should stick with its original creation.

SMOKE SCREEN: TOBACCO MAY BE EVIL, BUT ITS LATEST CHALLENGER IS NO HERO

Once again, this letter shows the moral and integrity models of the anti-tobacco cartel, its political supporters, and of those imbeciles who think that, by kissing the boots of the liar with the latest upper hand, they can make money and political glory. These fools have not yet understood that the bigger they are, the harder they fall.

FIRST STAGE ACCOMPLISHED (added November 1, 1999) - The signatures have been counted and verified. The state initiative to repeal the Rob Reiner tobacco tax has made the cut and will be on the ballot next March. Below are pertinent paragraphs from the initiative:

Repeals additional $.50 per pack tax on cigarettes and equivalent increase in state tax on tobacco products previously enacted by Proposition 10 at November 3, 1998, election. Provides for elimination of funding for Proposition 10 early childhood development and smoking prevention programs. Prohibits imposition of additional surtaxes on the distribution of cigarettes or tobacco products unless enacted by the state legislature.

Provides that all additional tobacco taxes previously collected under Proposition 10 shall be appropriated and expended at which time the California Children and Families First Trust Fund shall terminate.

Last November, Rob Reiner, former sit-com actor and current third tier movie director, watched the election returns with dismay as his tax scheme appeared to be headed for defeat. One week later he was crowing with triumph as the final return revealed that his tax hike had garnered a franction of a percentage over 50 percent.

The results of his narrowly approved initiative have confirmed the worst fears of those who predicted that the hundreds of millions stolen from California citizens would launch the most irresponsible orgy of special interest spending in the state's history. After months of haggling, the gaggle of parasites who administer the loot are spreading it around to the social engineers and new-age quacks who are now charged with raising lower income children as they see fit.

With no state oversight, the thousands of new county bureaucrats will reign over their fiefdoms completely unaccountable to the tax payers who foot the bills. Already reports are surfacing that some of the funds are being used to pay the salaries of employees who were hired to perform functions completely unrelated to the so-called "childrens' development" programs the Reiner Tax is supposed to address.

Californians have an excellent opportunity next spring to regain control from the theives and special interest confidence artists and return it where it belongs: to the people.

THE ETS YARN - IT'S UNRAVELING - Joseph Goebbels perfected the technique of the big lie; repeat it often enough and it becomes the truth. The anti-tobacco cartel for years has used the supine American press to repeat ad infinitum the falsehood that second-hand smoke is a toxic hazard. The general public has never accepted this absurdity. Smoking tobacco, after all, has been an intrinsic component of our culture for 500 years and no observer has ever noted non-smokers dropping like flies from the pernicious blue smoke.

What hasn't worked on the public has, however, worked extremely well on the governing class. Politicians of all stripes are living proof that the Goebbels method still has legs especially when the media is a reliable cheerleader for the anti-tobacco special interests that concocted the second-hand smoke hysteria.

The media free ride is coming to an end and not a moment too soon. Jon Dougherty of WorldNetDaily digs beneath the sterile press releases cranked out by the cartel to present all sides of the tobacco issue. Seeking out researchers of the high caliber of Martha Perske, Wanda Hamilton, and Rosalind Marimont, he presents the readers with the complete story and lets them make their own decisions. With the re-emergence of a free press, the Goebbels method of control will go the way of the Third Reich.

READ THIS -- IT WILL SOUND VERY FAMILIAR - SOCIALIST ORIGINS OF NEO-NAZISM - "...The Nazis were health fanatics who banned cigarette smoking, promoted vegetarianism and organic gardening, engaged in abortion and euthanasia, frowned on all capitalist excess, and even promoted animal rights. They were environmentalists who locked up land from development to promote paganism."

"The Nazi government introduced socialized medicine and government-mandated vacations at government spas, imposed handgun control, and expanded unemployment "insurance" and Social Security."

WHY TAX WHEN YOU CAN PLUNDER? - "Lead paint has not been available in the U.S. since 1978 or used in home interiors since the 1950s. This did not stop Rhode Island from filing a suit on Oct. 12 against former producers of lead paint to recover the costs of providing health care and special education to children thought to be harmed by lead poisoning."

"Protecting property from plunder has always been the biggest challenge to civilized society. The U.S. has been failing this challenge for two decades."

"Never pay for an airline ticket or a hotel bill in cash. Your money can be confiscated on the "probable cause" that cash implies drug dealing. If you doubt these statements, consult the hearings on asset forfeiture held by the House Judiciary Committee."

"The attack on tobacco companies by state attorneys general and now the U.S. Justice (sic) Department has opened a new front in the government's war against property."

SOMETHING SMOKERS SHOULD DO ALL OVER THE WORLD ABOUT TOBACCO - U.S. DRUG ADVISER BOOED IN BRITAIN - "Protesters jeered President Clinton's chief adviser on drugs Monday when he went to the University of London with his British counterpart to launch an Internet site to combat drug abuse."

"Gen. Barry McCaffrey left the university's Goldsmith College with placard-waving demonstrators pursuing his car and shouting denunciations of his tough policy on drugs."

This is the behaviour we should all have with anti-tobacco gangsters. We should learn something from those who have been oppressed for a long time. But no worry, we'll get there. As soon as the WHO gangsters are through bamboozling the governments of Earth with their lies and outright frauds, the anti-tobacco cancer will be truly global, and all smokers will be considered drug addicts to be rehabilitated, or suppressed. Mothers will lose their children, fathers will lose their jobs. Children will be taught to look at the smoking parents with contempt.
