Justice Dept suing tobacco giants
Date: May 8, 2003

Hi guys,

I see on CNN today that the Justice Dept. is suing Big Tobacco for about 290 Billion Bucks. This of course will either bring cigarettes to about $80.00 a pack or bankrupt the companies.

I don't know about you people, but I am contacting my Congressman and Senator and making clear that I will be boycotting any and all businesses that prohibit smoking, including airlines, restaurants, bars, shopping malls, whatever. But, I will make very clear that I intend to visit my voting place in all elections and not vote for Democrats especially, and Republicans second . I will do my best to influence friends and family to do the same.

I will remind them that 25% of the population smokes and that they are very tired of being picked on and made into pariahs.

Realize that being only 25% of the population means that we cannot possibly achieve fairness if anti-tobacco uses all of our money they have at their disposal to influence votes, which of course they do routinely. We must start using whatever means we have to stop what is going on.

Let the politicians know in no uncertain terms that you are really sick of what they are doing to honest American citizens, people that have stood up for this country in bad times and good, people who are good citizens, hardworking and caring, taxpayers who are tired of the Government EXTORTING their hard earned money from them.

What the government is doing is illegal and unfair.  Taxes on tobacco have more than paid its way all along.  Tobacco taxes have always exceeded the so-called 'social cost.' 

We must stop being doormats to these bums.  LET YOUR REPRESENTATIVES KNOW THAT YOU ARE TIRED OF THIS CRAP.  VOTE THE BUMS OUT OF OFFICE.  START A BOYCOTT IN YOUR AREA.  Let businesses know that you will not patronize them if they are non-smoking.

The economy is in the toilet right now. How much better do you think it would be if the anti-smokers were smashed ??  How much worse do you think it would be if smokers were to boycott 'smoke free' Environments ??  How much pressure could we exert ??

Don't just think about it----DO IT, or it's going to be to late, and they will win.

Dear Bill,

Congratulations! Now, compare your letter with that of another reader. You are doing exactly the right thing. It is disgusting that citizens who pay more taxes than anyone else are kicked out and punished, with all the economic power they have – but that they are afraid to use because they are led to question their own behaviour by fascist propaganda based on frauds!

Bill’s attitude is what it takes, folksuncompromising, unapologetic, decisive. It is useless to argue with the fascist, the fanatic, and the corrupt. It is even less fruitful to try to “convert” those who benefit from the passive smoke fraud, the taxation, and the persecution. This is war – a war to elimination. Hit them where it hurts: in the pockets and with your vote – and vote with your feet when you can. Let them know that listening to gangsters who happen to wear a white mimetic coat does not pay. Damage the economy – now that it is particularly vulnerable – and let them know why you did it!

Someone may say: “Fools, if you damage the economy, you damage yourselves”. How true. But it is also true that in an open and declared war you do not care about damaging the environment, as long as you hit the opponent – possibly to death!

The healing will come later: first, one must kill the cancer – or the patient dies.

Congratulations again, Bill. You are an example for us all. We are doing our share by bringing you the news and information about the frauds and the abuses of the antitobacco gangsters. It is time for you – the readers – to do yours: reading FORCES is not enough; cheering us along is not enough; and whining is certainly useless. It is time for you – the readers – to do what Bill says at the individual level, and to stop listening to -- and believing -- the propaganda. Sometimes, even the one can make the difference – but 25% of the population CERTAINLY can, if it lets go of the lies and the fear.
