 For The Kids - An eye-opening article by the Washington Post on the disgusting exploitation of kids for all political purposes -- a clear indication of the political and moral degeneration taking place in North America. "Read President Clinton's anti-tobacco speech in Carrollton, Ky., last month. It invoked children no fewer than 34 times in 21 minutes -- a new indoor record."
Cigar Smokers Assaulted - Another example of the effects of the criminal antitobacco campaign are described in this article from The New York Post. In the States, the time is fast coming when the best way to smoke in peace will be to carry a gun in your pocket. Instigated by the antismoking mobs, more and more bastards feel self-righteous and justified about physically harassing smokers. Since there is no room for reasoning this out, we guess that the only argument the mobs will listen to is the barrel of a "persuader" pointed right at them. How unfortunate. How sad. How real.
ANTITOBACCO CARTEL CLAIMS ANOTHER VICTORY - 6.5 Billion Tobacco Settlement Announced - The antitobacco cartel has reason to be happy today: it has managed to extort another 6.5 billion dollars from the pockets of smokers, while the industry has caved in, and let down its customers and supporters once again. Moreover, the Council for Tobacco Research will be disbanded, therefore eliminating another entity in opposition of the fascist regime. As the United States take fast steps in the consolidation of their new totalitarian system, liberty and choice are quickly eliminated, while the pockets of the segment of the population targeted for looting are getting emptied. Not that the tobacco industry is going to suffer from this new sell-out of its customers: RJR Nabisco stock was up 37.5 cents at $28.12-1/2 on the New York Stock Exchange shortly after news of the settlement got out, while Philip Morris was up 6.3 cents at $38.75. Once again, the real punishment is on the citizens, while the punishment of the corporations is just cosmetic. Antitobacco has even exceeded its own looting purposes, and has become the representation of a social system and a philosophy in the making that must be destroyed for the protection of liberty and free thought in the entire planet.
England: Underage Smoking Set To Increase After Budget - Influenced by the US antitobacco criminal agenda, the British government increases the tax on tobacco well above the inflation rate. "Now it is estimated that smuggled goods account for 5% of the total market and that about one million smokers buy their tobacco illegally. Customs' officials admit that 'two in every three packets of hand-rolling tobacco came in illegally.' "

YET ANOTHER VICTORY AGAINST THE ANTITOBACCO MOBS: CALIFORNIA FOLLOWS FLORIDA AND PENNSYLVANIA - Third victory in a row for the tobacco industry, this time in California. The tobacco industry has won another victory in the union welfare cases with a decision by a federal court in Oakland. We all pray that the industry will continue to fight, now that all prospects for a settlement are gone down the toilet where they belong. Though we often disagree with the tobacco industry because its position is too moderate, it is the only entity with enough power to effectively fight the antitobacco cartel. We certainly support all efforts which can help destroy a new form of organized crime, and deceit - government pilfering masquerading as "health protection".

More Blasting Of The California Ban - Candidate for Attorney General Joseph S. Farina: "If I were elected to office, I would urge local law enforcement officials to ignore violations of this clearly unconstitutional law and spend their limited resources going after dangerous and violent criminals, repeat offenders and child molesters."
We Have A Steak In Food Fight - "The Health Police, not content with eliminating smoking from the nation's restaurants, will next move to control what we eat, drink and wear when out on the town. According to a very scary piece in the trade magazine Nation's Restaurant News, it's only a matter of time before pressure groups make their next moves to limit personal freedoms." - From the New York Post
Compulsory Cigarette Card Proposed - Our friend Pierre Lemieux sent us these quotations from Jon D. Hanson and Kyle D. Logue, "The Costs of Cigarettes: The Economic Case for Ex Post Incentive-Based Regulation", Yale Law Journal. A cigarette card recording our brands, age, habits, quantities purchased, and much more, all to be fed into computers and manipulated by statisticians subserviant to the regime. There is no limit to the sickness of these control freaks, they can't hear themselves talking, anymore. Goodbye, America, land of the free you are no more... or have you ever been?
Washington Soaks Poor, Reporters Yawn - "Big tobacco has been big news at the networks this month. Between April 1 and April 26 on ABC World News Tonight, CBS Evening News, and NBC Nightly News, there were 23 stories about various aspects of federal tobacco legislation. But, amazingly, none of these stories mentioned the argument that the proposed new taxes on cigarettes would hit poorer Americans most heavily. This is a startling omission for reporters whose first question about tax legislation is almost always, 'Is it fair?' "

Texas Food Industry Association Leader Voices Opposition To The McCain Tobacco Bill - AUSTIN, Texas, May 1 /PRNewswire/ -- "Rick Johnson, president of the Texas Food Industry Association, called on members of the Texas Congressional delegation to oppose the harmful economic measures included in the current version of S.1415, also known as the McCain bill."
Smoking Breaks Bones?? - ...Really? FORCES has been
saying -- and proven -- that all along. They call us extremists when we say that anti-smokers are criminals, and must be
prosecuted all the way to the jail cell. Well, judge for yourself: "A statistician testified
Wednesday that Minnesota's estimate of the health costs of smoking was flawed because it included such maladies as
hemorrhoids, schizophrenia and broken bones." MUCH more inside.
Anti-tobacco
Gangsters Accuse Their Victims Of Wasting Taxpayers' Money! - In the Italian language there is a popular proverb that
goes like this: "The singing chicken laid the egg". When the tobacco
industry quite appropriately told the US government to go to hell, we expected an increase in the hostility of the Washington
mobs against the manufacturers. After all, it is no longer conceivable to dialogue with anti-smokers. As in all instances
where fascism is involved, it's either us or them, for peaceful coexistence is not an option, and all means to eliminate the
opponent must be justified by either side. That's certainly how it's going down in Washington, D.C. This report is almost a
contender for our Theatre of the Absurd section, for it shows that the antismoking political sewer rats -- who exist only
because of taxpayers' money -- ARE ACCUSING THE TOBACCO INSTITUTE AND THE TOBACCO RESEARCH COUNCIL OF WASTING TAXPAYERS' MONEY! The political criminals who want to test their muscle by creating "a smoke-free society" are once again attempting to use the law to suppress free speech in order to shut down opposition to them, their propaganda, and their falsification of
information.
Anti-tobacco IS
fascism.
Betraying Their Own to Help the Persecutors - The
Justice Department said Tuesday that the nation's fifth biggest cigarette maker, Liggett Group, has agreed to cooperate in the
government's criminal investigation of the tobacco industry. Lured by the promise of "going easy on them", these
bastards are betraying their own kind to help their persecutors, a fact that makes them worse than the persecutors themselves. In
times of war, a similar action would have been punished with death -- by both sides, since nobody trusts a traitor. Nowadays,
when betrayal and "squealing" are taught in schools as positive values by a corrupted society, the Liggett Group (maker
of Chesterfield among other brands) is a shining example of this moral inversion. Of
course, criminal investigation of antismoking activists, antismoking "scientists", the pharmaceutical industry,
the EPA, and the politicians that make the great antismoking cartel is not even a thought. But let's be real: how can
criminals investigate themselves?
Addicted to Tobacco Taxes - Reading this article
reminds us of the lurid Florida deal. Like thieves fighting over their allotment of the loot, the American political parties argue
over the appropriation of money that does not belong to them, but to American smokers and the US tobacco industry. The most
colossal lie of the 20th century has come a long, long way from the scientific and statistical falsifications of a few years ago.
Now those frauds have become part of the New Truth -- the new, mushy foundation of a generation and a nation that presents
itself to the 21st century void of moral integrity, liberties, and principles.
One of the World Oldest Dies in His Sleep - A 117-year-old man is dead.
Ninety years of smoking cigars finally caught up with him. Maybe the new anti-cigar campaign should feature him as a victim of
cigar makers' deception! You can be assured that the death of this man WILL be enumerated as a tobacco-related death, because
he was smoking. It is with techniques like this the government lies to us by creating impressive numbers. Article from the San
Francisco Chronicle.
Banning
Smoking Outdoors: the Next Target of the Anti-tobacco Cartel - If this article doesn't turn your stomach, we don't
know what will. The antismoking cartel is now working hard to ban smoking outdoors. Everywhere else is not enough: home and outside
are the last areas where smokers can exercise their right, but that will be taken away soon. Well, smokers, do not be outraged:
for as long as we feel guilty, and behave like sheep, and let the propaganda manipulate us, we deserve everything we get from these
fascists, up to and including the brainwashing of our children. Tobacco may not ever become illegal, but smoking it anywhere
will. What is the old saying... "Every country has exactly the government it deserves"?
Serious
Tobacco Crimes - Since we are in the mood for stomach-turning stories, this one will do the job as well.
Selling cigarettes to prisoners is a crime. Prisoners are not allowed matches or lighters, either. "Those
would have to come up with the cigarettes, this is certainly not going to be tolerated," says the
assistant superintendent of this corrections center, with great self-righteousness. The center holds nearly 400 prisoners who are
searched each day when they return from work or school. Result: cigarettes go for several dollars a piece. One wonders if the
people who wrote the regulations do not belong behind bars themselves.
Filthy
Habit - Strangely enough, the word filthy in this article from The Detroit Free Press does not refer to the habit of smoking, but the new found one of
extorting money from the public under the guise of "protecting the children".
Cigarettes
and Children: the Rest of the Story - "Contrary to what Clinton and Gingrich suggest, very few
young adolescents are being lured into a cruel tobacco addiction. The president laments that 3,000 kids begin smoking every day.
When I called the White House press office to find his source for this estimate, I was directed to the Centers for Disease Control,
which sent me a 1989 study from the Journal of the American Medical Association. But the study said nothing about children.
The 3,000-a-day figure referred to 20-year-olds. "There is a technical term for the president's claim: bald-faced lying."
Camp
Wheezy -- The Theme Park - ``If you'll exit the cars now, you'll be in the heart of our theme park. Visit the
giant, inflated Tony the Trial Lawyer! Throw some change in Punitive Damages Pond! Take a spin on the Political Fallout
Flume! " From the Pioneer Press, a visit to the Minnesota theme Park of the future. Don't forget to save your ticket stub!
Why
Restrict The Tobacco Tax To Smokers? - "Here are some examples of taxes that could be applied to practically
every man, woman and child in the country, and, over a very short time, would increase state and federal coffers and allow us all
to become a better society. "
Tobacco
Companies Striking Back - As the U.S. government is about to discover, the wages of greed is -- a big,
expensive litigious backlash! "Tobacco companies are ready to fight states' lawsuits for billions of dollars for Medicaid
spending on smokers all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court . . .
."
National Smokers Alliance Calls For Kessler Resignation - The
National Smokers Alliance has smoked out a king-sized instance of hypocrisy in the person of influential anti-smoking crusader
David Kessler. Yale, the university Kessler works for, is a beneficiary of tobacco dollars through investments. But when
asked to take a position on Yale's tobacco interests, the usually noisy Kessler seemed to lose his voice completely. Is this what
they mean by "don't ask, don't tell?" - "Former U.S. Food & Drug Administration Commissioner David Kessler
has yet another ethical problem on his hands. The anti-tobacco crusader, now Dean of Yale University School of Medicine, refuses
to take a position on Yale's decision keep its investments in tobacco stocks. "
