 X-FILES: CHEAP PROPAGANDA
ON A WORN-OUT SHOW - Added April 22,
2000 - More cheap antitobacco propaganda
on the X-Files. The show, a masterpiece of flatness to begin with, is
quite representative of the times. No new ideas, flat recitative
style, loaded with commonplace clichés -- and, of course, catering to
the great scientific fraud
concerning ETS, with some (of course cheap) dramatic overtones.
This time, second hand smoke from a new type of cigarette (made, of course, by an evil tobacco company) kills EVERYBODY, and instantly -- just like in the sick dreams of the anti-tobacco activists. Who knows, perhaps this stupid science fiction series will inspire some new "study" that will prove (conclusively, of course) that ETS kills on contact. Why not? We are in the real of science fiction, and not just on the small screen! ' In the dramatic conclusion, Skinner finds the man in the tobacco company lab and shoots him when he lights up one of the altered cigarettes. Mulder is saved when Scully realizes that a heavy dose of nicotine is the antidote as the fourth test subject only survived because he was a "four pack a day smoker, far heavier than any of the focus group members who died. You know nicotine is extremely poisonous. It's actually one of the oldest known insecticides." ' It is really sad to see how petty and childish America has become, and how dramatically general intelligence seems to have decreased. The putrid aspect is, of course, the institutionalisation of this new form of hate speech and racism against a category of people who have made a lifestyle choice that is as normal and it is legal. For the rotten plot of this decaying series, click on the header -- while lighting one up! " Tobacco defense lawyers are scrambling to derail or slow
down these cases, arguing that they are legally indistinguishable from
suits that have been thrown out of federal courts across the
country." It is amazing - but not at all unexpected - that the antitobacco
cartel pushes the war against the tobacco industry to the point of the
industry's extinction.
It is amazing, because that would cause the end of the immense
money flow to the cartel. Additionally, it is stupid, because as much as these people are
smart in robbing legal industries and falsify evidence while avoiding
the jail terms they deserve, some of them are also imbecile enough to
believe that the beautiful culture of smoking tobacco will be
eliminated by killing the tobacco industry. Even if these gangsters
lie to children in schools about tobacco's effects on health, and tax
the smokers to death, that only drives smoking underground, and it
makes it appear that smoking is declining in the official statistics.
That of course is used by the antismoking gangsters to further lie to
the public, claim success against the non-existing
"epidemic" -- and ask for more public money.
But smoking will not go away. There are many ways tobacco can be
obtained, legally and illegally. And smokers will continue to
smoke -- right in the face of the bastards who want to drive us to
extinction. So, it takes a five-year study (and an unspecified - but
certainly large - amount of taxpayers' dollars to find that
out, right? Now, THIS is the kind of mentally bankrupt
institution people are supposed to believe when they hear the nonsense
concerning "tobacco-related" diseases, and the 400,000 "victims" of
smoking in the US!
" [CDC spokesman] Moriarty said the study is a first step
to help local officials identify problems that lead to high illness
rates in their communities. "
A first step... Need we say anymore? We don't think so.
Happy reading. "The case, Brown vs Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp., was
filed in the California state superior court in San Diego against
major cigarette makers on behalf of smokers seeking funding for
programs to help people stop smoking." ' On April 11th [2000], a Madrid, Spain court rejected a suit
filed by 40-year-old Jose Calderon Crespo against Tabacalera and the
economics ministry. Mr. Crespo had sought 350 million pesetas (US$ 2.2
mn) in damages, alleging that his Buerger syndrome, a cardiovascular
disease, was caused by smoking. The court ruled that "a
cause-and-effect relation between tobacco consumption and this illness
does not exist" (AFX Europe 4/11, Agence France Presse
4/11). '
Though limited to a particular type of cardiovascular disease, the
ruling of this Spanish court is actually a major blow to the
international antitobacco cartel since it implicitly exposes (just
some of) its scientific frauds -- and for this reason, the
English-speaking mass media have been totally silent.
' God forbid, people may be encouraged to continue to smoke
while realising that smoking is not that bad after all... we may run
out of public funds, and the Pharmaceuticals will be displeased! '
whisper the cartel operatives. And then they yell: ' Damn, what
the hell is the WHO
doing? We pour hundreds
of millions into them to spread our bullshit throughout the world,
and look at this! Call Gro Harlem Bruntland, and tell her we will increase
the "contribution," but she'd better be successful next
time. Spain needs more corruption!... and
quickly, cap this news nice and tight. We would not want our valiant
and fraudulent "researchers" and "scientists" to
be exposed by real science, would we? '
Sorry guys... your lies may have a big purse and a lot of
accomplices, but they still have short legs.
For more scientific information about smoking and heart (and the
antismoking scientific frauds about it) click here. After the war on drugs, the war on tobacco, the war on alcohol, the war on food, the war on global
warming, the war on tooth
brushes, here comes the war on scent. Similarly to ETS junk
science and propaganda, "important" environmental groups and
"scientists" are now forcing the banning of scent. Some
poor, hypochondriac baby out there is "hurt" by after-shave
and perfumes! And the equally sick authorities, of course, cater to
the whiners.
This is no longer a war against disease -- real or presumed. This
is a war against LIFE.
No more comments. Just read this. The parallels with the
antismoking hysteria is astounding -- and fightening. We assure you
that you will need an (unscented) cold shower afterwards, for you will
believe that you have been dreaming. Not so. This article will still
be there for you to realise that it is time to react to the health
cartel, and the world it wants to build. Of course, many operatives of the cartel are very worried. The cow
is about to dry up! Where could they steal money from if that
happened? What other corporate creatures could these parasites leach?
Do not worry. Health is the new Klondike: full of real or presumed
disease and loaded with bad habits, everyday people have become the
sheep that predators feed on. The health "revolution" will
provide plenty of opportunities for junk scientists and dishonest
doctors and politicians. And only the will of the people can break the
back of the health cartel, and return us to better times. Although in
a painfully slow way, the backlash is actually building up. The American Council on Science and Health attacks the two
authors of "LIES, DAMN
LIES & 400,000 Smoking-Related Deaths" with a full
arsenal of false statements and misleading information, indicative of
both intentional deception and schizophrenic scientific thinking,
which is what the entire antismoking propaganda is based on. Although
Marimont and Levy give an excellent response to these representatives
of the cartel (which has far too much political power to be considered
anything close to a scientific body), let us look at see one of the
grossest and most misleading lies stated by ACSH in this document:
"...But as we have said, smoking and tobacco use is the
most-studied health risk factor in the history of human health
research. In fact, the first report of diminished life span among
smokers appeared in 1938. The pathological effects of chronic tobacco
use in individuals are well documented. Using rigorous study designs
and analytical methods, scientists have established with a high degree
of certainty the causal role of tobacco in disease and death."
While it is true that tobacco has been the object of an enormous
quantity of studies for the last 50-60 years (at immense cost to the
taxpayers), all disease attributed to tobacco is multifactorial,
and those factors interacts in a totally different way depending on each
individual. It is therefore impossible to have ANY
degree of certainty about causality. The antitobacco cartel and its
army of well-paid "scientists" know that quite well, and the
huge amount of methodologically flawed "evidence" is there
for the very purpose of hiding the unescapable reality -- the IMPOSSIBILITY
to QUANTIFY the incidence of tobacco in disease in spite of
all the BS software loaded in their expensive computers.
The truth still thumbs its nose at the red-faced antismoking
cartel. Tobacco is just ONE among a myriad of important (or unimportant)
concomitant causes of a disease. For example, an organism that is
weakened by stress may indeed become a prey of lung cancer if tobacco
is used. But if tobacco is not used, the very same organism may
still develop cancer, maybe in the lungs, maybe elsewhere.
The highlighting of tobacco in the causality of disease has
moralistic (rather, immoral) roots, but most importantly it
has political and financial motivations. The abysmal failure
of medicine to defeat cancer -- after the investment of billions of
dollars -- requires a smoke screen to diffuse reality. This smoke
screen pays handsomely for corrupt entities such as the ACSH, and many
others. Simple common sense -- not pseudo-scientific
diarrhoea -- is all it takes for smokers, drinkers, eaters -- and all
those who pursue the necessary enjoyment of life's pleasures: enjoy
everything in moderation.
So, reality stands notwithstanding the immense finances behind the
largest fraud in the history of humanity: the harms of tobacco use
cannot be proven, and the health "authorities" are lying and
using force because they cannot "demonstrate" their point
otherwise.
Click here for a link to Regulation. "Two weeks ago, the B.C. Supreme Court overturned the WCB
smoking ban. But now, the WCB now insists the only thing struck down
was the January 1 implementation date for bars and pubs." If anyone in Canada (as well as in the rest of the world) has still
any doubt that the antismoking establishment is a fascist
establishment, this last move of the Canadian antitobacco cartel
should remove it. Perhaps it would be appropriate to revise, once
again, what fascism is:
Have we described the antismoking state so far? Only force
can break the back of fascism -- and it takes a lot of force.
Although fascism's "ideology" takes many shapes and
manifests itself in many ways (physical health is always a prominent
preoccupation), it has very little to do with ideals, for this term is
used to coat emotions of insecurity, fear, and contempt for individual
choice and independence.
So, the fight goes on. It is either freedom OR
state-imposed "health."
Glad to serve against the fascist state. "The World Health Organization lists smoking as a disorder
under its International Classification of Diseases. Because of this
sleight of hand, smoking is being treated as an epidemic, and one of
the largest health crusades ever devised has been set in motion. But
this crusade will not just be about television advertisements of men
and women with diseased lungs, or living smokers telling us to quit.
It is intended to have the full force of international law."
The destruction of the antitobacco cartel is every day more
imperative, for this cancer is spreading internationally, and very
fast. As in North America, science and the rule of law will be
distorted and overwhelmed by lawsuits and emotional propaganda.
Businesses, families, and friendships will be destroyed while
bureaucrats and politicians thrive among the financial and moral ruins
of entire societies. It is the duty of every citizen of this planet,
no matter what his position about smoking per se, to fight against
this new form of crime sponsored and muscled by the US through the
WHO. The war against international health fascism is just beginning.
For more information about the level of corruption of this
organisation, click
here. "Somewhere deep down, the bureaucrats running anti-smoking
campaigns have to know this. A lot of them are Baby Boomers, so they
remember a time when grownups didn't make such a big deal about
tobacco and fewer kids smoked. Sex symbols advertised cigarettes on
TV, and prime ministers puffed openly on the pages of Life magazine.
Both my parents smoked. As kids, we played with novelty
"cigarettes": Blow into one end, and a puff of powder
resembling smoke came out the other." ... Of course the antitobacco cartel knows that prohibition and
rhetoric lead to temptation - and this works for adults, too! But then
again, honest solutions (assuming that there is need for any) usually
come from honest minds. This is not the case of the cartel, of course.
Come on, is any bureaucrat out there who would work hard to make his
job extinct? We don't think so! The bedding and towels
are made of hemp-fiber and the lotions and soap are similarly
hemp-based. A marijuana leaf motif is rampant throughout the inn
from lacy gold wall arabesques down to the tea-pot and saucers.
The garden patio offers a clothing-optional hot-tub for pot smoking
guests. Tobacco aficionados are
relegated to the narrow and noisy front porch. "Nobody should breathe
any kind of smoke that they don't want to,'' said Maria
Mallek-Tischler. "We are very conscious of the concern over
secondhand smoke.'' She and co-owner Andrea
Tischler forbid absolutely the smoking of any substance in
their inn. Guests suffering the ravages of chemotherapy, awaking
in the middle of the night desperately needing a joint, must shuffle
down the stairs and struggle out to the patio to get some relief.
The Ms. Tischlers' compassion ends where their walls begin. Smokers, of marijuana or
tobacco, however, will find spiritual sustenance in an airy room,
strewn with drum circles and furnished with a crystal encrusted altar,
overlooking the dopers' patio . Dubbed the Church of the
Obvious, the resident guru and masseur presides over what the
Tischlers hope will become a center of spiritual and civic-minded
activity. Despite the Tischlers'
inability to grasp that marijuana and tobacco are both gifts
from Mother Nature - one enhancing mental acuity, the other resulting
in the opposite - and their foolishness in not recognizing that
tobacco smokers are far more prevalent and extravagant than pot
smokers, we wish the batty old biddies well in their experiment in
niche accommodations. Froma Harrop of The
Providence Journal gets it mostly right as she observes that the
incessant messages to teenagers haranguing them on the supposed
dangers to smoking only drives them to a healthy experimentation with
cigarettes. Anyone can see that teen smoking accelerated in the
1990's just when anti-tobacco education proliferated throughout the
land. She gets it entirely right
when she writes that yes, indeed, Americans do have the right to smoke
and that owners of private property, bars and restaurants included,
have the right to set their own smoking policies. Her contention that smokers
save the government money is correct although the reason she gives,
dying early, is wrong. Smokers save government money by
contributing far more than their share in taxes. Ms. Harrop is very close to
the truth when she opines that the continuing failure of anti-smoking
education to not only not produce the stated results but to
actually produce the opposite results, is due to keeping the
anti-tobacco bureaucrats employed. Anti-tobacco education is not
an incompetent attempt to curb teen smoking, it is, in reality, a
purposeful and successful campaign directed by the pharmaceuticals to increase
teen smoking thereby creating an expanding market for drug
company nicotine products. Anti-tobacco is the best
friend Joe Camel every had. Acerbic pundit and
blond bombshell, Ann Coulter, is bemused that The New York Times, railing
against the Supreme Court's ruling that the FDA exceeded its
authority in its scheme to regulate tobacco, refers far more
extensively to the dissenting justices than to the majority. To
those of us who have followed the government-media complex in its
rabid quest to demonize smokers, the naked bias of The New York
Times is hardly a surprise and is duplicated throughout the land
of the free. Coulter also questions
the wisdom of allowing David Kessler and the anti-tobacco trial
lawyers to alter a perfectly valid definition of "addiction"
to include coffee drinking, shopping and video games. The
answer to that question, Ms. Coulter, is to follow the money.
Kessler and his confederate, Dr. Koop, saw gold in the expansion of
addiction and intrusion of government into personal choice. The
saintly duo proclaim they set out to do good and they have done very
well indeed. The racket to which Andrew
Sullivan refers in his piece in The Sunday Times is the cycle
of the tobacco shakedown whereby anti-tobacco state attorneys general
(mostly Democrats) hire their private practice cronies to litigate the
tobacco industry. The state law suits garner the support of the
White House (Democrat) which uses the bully pulpit to demonize
smoking. The harried industry capitulates rather than risk
bankruptcy, paying $260-billion, to be collected from the American
people, for protection. The states split the loot with the
contigency lawyers who rake in billions of dollars just in time to
donate their ill-gotten gains to the political campaigns of Democrats
in general and Al Gore in particular, who promises to keep the current
corrupt system intact. That the American tort
system is unique and needs radical revamping is undeniable. That
Britain would consider importing this virus is proof that the Blair
years in that country have taken their toll on the island's sanity. The Deseret News "breaks"
the news that infectious agents play a much stronger role in heart
disease than the American Heart Association and its cartel partners
want you to know. The news from researchers in Salt Lake City is
no surprise to FORCES. For quite some time we have presented the
information that the cartel wishes to
obscure while it pursues the more lucrative business of ripping
off and persecuting smokers. During his campaign
stop screed, Gore attempted to scare voters by contrasting himself
with opponent George Bush and his differing views in who to appoint to
the Supreme Court. Gore dourly intoned that the future of the
Supreme Court was at the next President's hands and "many of our
personal liberties are at stake". Gore's phony concern
about personal liberties is preposterous given his vitriolic attacks
on smokers. If elected, Gore will tighten the noose around
smokers' throats and fan the flames of hatred that Bill Clinton began. Troubled by the lower
classes' penchant for hanging out at the Ma and Pop corner grocery
stores that dot the "bad" part of town, the geniuses on the
City Council have devised the perfect plan to indulge the Progressive
passion to control people and waste money. Rather than
provide adequate police service to the taxpayers, Council Members Margaret Breland and Maudelle Shirek propose using city
funds to buy out the liquor licenses of 36 alcohol retailers located
on the wrong side of the tracks. Liquor licenses cost
at least $100,000 and are worth at least $200,000 in Berkeley.
Do the math and be sure to factor in the lost revenue from alcohol
sales that must reimburse the grocers. Send the answer to the
zany council members. It's obvious they don't dig math. The suit is patterned
after the tobacco lawsuits and Santa Clara, the home of Silicon
Valley, shouldn't be surprised when other government thieves
eventually go after the high tech industry using the same junk
science, political posturing and lawlessness embraced by officials
who, after swearing to uphold the US Constitution, flush that document
down the toilet. Bill Clinton, in the final year of his presidency, is
desperately seeking any accomplishment that will forever enshrine him
in the annals of American History. He needn't worry. Americans are not
soon to forget the Clinton years, as he is indeed unique. The first
elected President to be impeached, Clinton's trials and tribulations
will be studied for many years as scholars attempt to explain a man
whose frenzied antics have reduced the Oval Office to the punch line
of a smutty joke. As he travels the globe reveling in the
choreographed adulation of third world peasants, his Legacy grows ever
more grotesque and impotent.
Constantly burned whenever he tackles tobacco, President
Clinton hopes to turn the tables by conducting a Federal suit against
the cigarette manufacturers along the lines that proved so profitable
for the states' attorneys general. The old adage of don't try to bleed
a turnip comes to mind as one remembers that the tobacco industry, and
its customers, have long ago been bled dry and just don't have any
more to give. The industry's Tobacco Settlement, the most massive
transfer of money to government ever seen, is as low as that craven
industry can grovel and still turn a profit. Any cornered animal will
fight back and this fight could be ugly and endless.
David York of the The American Spectator lays out
the government's case against Big Tobacco and finds it wanting. The
layers of hypocricy, demagoguery and legal gyrations are peeled to
reveal the smelly motives of an amoral president and his gang of
fanatics.

SPOILED, WHINING BRATS Added
April 10, 2000 -
