Tobacco Control and institutional corruption

July 15 - Pro-choice "Ninjas" - Michael Siegel, an advocate for tobacco control, was banished from a prominent anti-smoking list-serve for making remarks that don't adhere to anti-tobacco orthodoxy. He is bemused at some of the inflammatory comments on that list made by tobacco control advocates who got the vapors from his remarks.  Specifically he highlights a recent message that labels those who disagree with the anti-tobacco agenda as ninjas. More hilariously FORCES is described as the replacement for the tobacco industry funded National Smokers Alliance.

If only!  FORCES would gladly take the 50 plus million dollars that Big Tobacco bestowed upon the defunct NSA. With money like that we would severely hamper, if not terminate, the efforts of the tobacco control industry to impose prohibition. While the pharmaceutical industry funnels billions of dollars to the antitobacco industry to dispense their lies to policy makers, politicians and the public, FORCES could neutralize Big Drugs' mercantile agenda at a fraction of the cost.

July 15 - Puppet neglects background material - Last month the United States Surgeon General took to the pulpit to thump the anti-smoking bible, screeching how secondhand smoke is the most dangerous substance on earth.  Why even one half hour spent near the stuff leads to heart disease and lung cancer.  As an indication that the nation's doctor was reading from the tobacco control script, Michael Siegel points out that the secondhand smoke sermon contradicts an earlier report issued by the Surgeon General about the health benefits of quitting smoking.  While miniscule exposure to secondhand smoke has dire consequences to the nonsmoker instantaneously, the benefits from quitting primary smoking are quite slow in coming, if one is to believe the contradictory conclusions by two reports issued from the same office.  So eager is the current Surgeon General to dance to anti-tobacco's tune he forgot to review what his office has put out over the years. The contradictions dispensed by anti-tobacco have become so prevalent that Dr. Siegel's fear that soon no one will believe anything anti-tobacco says is becoming a reality.

July 15 - This is how gangsters help each other out - Exploiting the statements of the Surgeon General about secondhand smoke, asthma and heart disease – statements which have absolutely no correspondence with reality because they are based on an epidemiological fraud -- antismokers and their minions in the various areas of the bureaucratic state machine get busy to make smoking a crime – literally, a violation of  the criminal code this time. Siegel comments more than sufficiently on the beyond-orwellian social consequences, and we will not belabour his points. Instead, we would like to focus on the deterioration of logic, ethics and morality of the Surgeon General and his "report". Most people will never read this long report, but if they do they will find that at first it implicitly but clearly concedes that the evidence on passive smoke is:

• Circumstantial
• Not scientific
• Unverifiable
• Un-measurable
• Contradictory

The SG basically describes junk science and scientific fraud. But now, brace for impact. Having said all that, the SG proceeds with the twisted logic that, since trash statistics on passive smoke has become the standard of antitobacco research, then junk science is to be considered real science, and politics, policies and laws have to be conceived, built and implemented on that. In short: junk science says that passive smoke causes heart disease without ever being able to demonstrate it, not even in one single case? No problem: since there are many crooks who make the claim, the issue is real and scientific even if it doesn't fit any scientific standard whatsoever. There is only one possible conclusion: PUBLIC FRAUD HAS BECOME THE ETHICAL STANDARD OF HEALTH AUTHORITIES, and the tool for social engineering. How does that grab you, folks?...

The SG is affected by the worst possible form of corruption - which is not that of stealing or otherwise breaking the law (technically speaking, at least; there are laws against false information, but it is obvious that health authorities are above them): it is the crookedness of intellect and morality that has now reached the highest levels of "public health" - thus of the state. And this ultimate corruption is the real, devastating threat to the integrity not only of American society but, unfortunately, of the rest of the world too; it is the base of a new form of dictatorship that reaches the most intimate areas of the individual and his family. It must be stopped, no matter what.

July 15 - Hospital raiding fraudulent passive smoke bandwagon for heavy-duty money - Our readers - after lighting up and taking a big breath - should make the effort to read this article to see a good example of lies upon frauds upon political exploitation. So, the Golisano Children's Hospital in Rochester "will lead a national effort to help eradicate children's exposure to secondhand smoke". The effort will put into the hospital's pockets $8.3 million from the loot of the Flight Attendants extortion (see article). Doctor after director takes his turn to lie to the public about smoking: secondhand smoke is harmful to children (totally false); "the exposure causes chronic health problems, such as asthma and ear and respiratory infections, and leads to an estimated 430 cases of sudden infant death syndrome a year, the report said"; absolutely false and utterly unsustainable. These con artists cannot prove one single case of what they are talking about. Let's stomach one more paragraph to get more into the swing of things: "Smoking rates have fallen dramatically over the past 10 years. It shows people are finally hearing the message," said Nancy Adams, executive director of the American Academy of Pediatrics New York Chapter 1... However, she said, 'the correlation between secondhand smoke and kids who are exposed and incidences of asthma is really startling. We really do have a lot of work (to do) to protect kids.'"

Adams is wrong on the smoking rates falling in the last ten years, they actually have been quite stable. Unfortunately, she is correct on one thing: there are a lot of fools out there (smokers, unfortunately) who have fallen for the passive smoke fraud, and indeed the exposure to passive smoke has decreased - but the respiratory problems amongst children and adults have certainly increased, demonstrating that passive smoke does not cause those problems.

July 15 - 13th World Conference on Tobacco or Health Drenched in Nicotine – It is interesting that, for the first time, we find ourselves at least in partial agreement with a smoking-cessation group. Certainly, not because we believe the statistical “smoking's massive annual slaughter” for which - will we ever get tired to repeat it? - no one death can be scientifically proven by anyone who advertises it. Nor do we believe that nicotine is a harmful substance, when in reality it is not only harmless, but also beneficial. What we agree on is that the NRTs (Nicotine Replacement Therapy – a therapy to “cure” a disease that does not exist, smoking) do not work. The reason why is as simple as it is easy to understand: for a medicine to work you have to be sick first. To remove an addiction, you have to be addicted first. Methadone works only for people who are addicted to narcotics; nicotine patches do not work because nobody is addicted. Smoking is just an enjoyable habit that corrupt heath authorities want us to believe is a disease. This piece, however, brings forward interesting collusions between the tobacco industry and Big Pharma. Ever wondered why Philip Morris is now so adamant about NRTs? You may find the answer in this piece. The 13^th Word Conference on Tobacco or Health is nothing but a pharmaceutical horror show that clearly indicates who runs “public health” today. It should be renamed Tobacco or Fraud. It may also prove useful to read the piece “World Conference on Tobacco and Health Sponsorship by Big Pharma Precludes it From Being Objective Scientific Symposium” by Michael Siegel.

July 15 - Smoking bans: based more on junk than sound science - Dr Phil Button, Associate Specialist in Anaesthesia & Pain Relief in Basingstoke, Hampshire, writes a letter published by The Business On Line.com, commenting on the German situation. Germany is still prohibition-free, but international pressure and relentless fraudulent propaganda by international antitobacco - as well as EU directives - are prepping the German politicians to ban smoking and join the Nazi-inspired Neo-Prohibition. The letter is followed by comments of Mr. John Gray about the usual accusation that Germany resists prohibition because of tobacco money. It's the same old: only if you have sold out to Big Tobacco you can be against epidemiological frauds and prohibition - take it from those who have sold out to Big Pharma!

Two words from the FORCES B.O.D. - We publish two short pieces from two members of our Board of Directors: Maryetta Ables (President) and Gian Turci (C.E.O.)
 

The false health of antitobacco actually prevents a truly healthier environment (by M. Ables) - 20 years of lies and "tobacco control" have not decreased in the slightest the diseases "attributed" to smoking by the "public health" con artists. Rather, in spite of the decreased number of smokers, the "tobacco-related" diseases have increased - and the creation of truly healthier environments is prevented by smoking bans.

Oh, what a wonderful thing being a ninja is (by G. Turci) - Our C.E.O. comments on the new "ninja" definition of FORCES by "public health advocates" and also reveals several very interesting and seldom-known aspects of the tobacco-financed "SRGs" whose function, it now seems, is not at all that of defending the right to smoke - quite the opposite, in fact. Here is a teaser: they are a big bluff.

The good news

July 15 - Antitobacco leeches ready to fall after pharmaceutical blood runs out - We are glad to report that one of the oldest sources of disinformation on tobacco and smoking is in serious trouble. The group, that goes by the names of Smokefree.net/Tobacco.org was originally known as Tobacco BBS, although the correct name should have been Antitobacco BS. They were supported with grants coming directly or indirectly from pharmaceutical industry gangs such as Tobacco-free Kids, the omnipresent Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the American Cancer Society and the American Legacy Foundation (that handles the money ripped from the tobacco industry with the Master Settlement Agreement). As the feed dried up the empty hat has been presented to Big Pharma directly, but it did not work. We have a suggestion for Gene Borio and for the rest of his gang: if you really believe in your (false) cause, work for free as we have done for 10 years to counter and demonstrate scientifically the disinformation you relentlessly pumped out. "After years of funding that was sufficient to keep the news running comfortably, we're now without funding", whines the group. Well, we wish them a very happy and fast bankruptcy, and we have cigars all ready for the happy occasion. To paraphrase the closing line of every communication of this group, "Yours for an antitobacco-free future".

July 15 - Ireland, say it with a study: antitobacco cons declare their own ban a success - Given that public fraud has become the ethical standard of health "authorities" here comes a "study" paid and conduced by "public health" stating that, thanks to the ban that "public health" itself has imposed, a whopping 11% more people pour into pubs that have been finally freed from the right to smoke. The script of the antitobacco  cartel headed world-wide by the World Health Organization and its pharmaceutical owners applies to Ireland as well. The script says that, everywhere, happy non-smokers who - poor guys - never could get into locales before because of all that deadly passive smoke, now finally rush in and make locale owners rich, rewarding them with their endless gratitude! Prohibition is not just good for health, but for business too - take it from white coat socialists!

Isn't that touching?... Too bad it's false - like everything else antitobacco says. In reality wherever there are smoking bans there are foreclosures, and Ireland is certainly no exception. And, by the way, would you believe a study paid by Philip Morris stating that smoking is good for you? Some may answer: "of course not". Then, why should anyone believe a study paid by the Irish Office for Tobacco Control, which is the same entity that cons the Irish about the "dangers" of active and passive smoke? If the tobacco industry conned the public (so goes the theory), at least that was done with private money. "Public health" instead cons people with public money - a much graver crime that, for some reason, seems to be a lesser crime because the perpetrators say it's "good for you". What's wrong with this reasoning?... here is what: we forgot that antismoking "public health" is above any moral judgement or criminal law.

Behaviour Control

July 15  - Certifiably insane - There is no doubt that sincere anti-smokers, those who fervently lap up the bilge served up by the financially motivated tobacco control industry, are lunatics.  No matter how bogus the latest "scientific fact" or how punitive the remedy to reduce smoking, the fanatic nods his head and applauds the hate dispensed to his neighbours, friends and family who lawfully choose to enjoy a legal product.  As the anti-tobacco agenda reaches a height of extremity unimaginable even a few years ago the public is finally taking notice. 

John Gray, a resident of the United Kingdom, examines the antismoker and finds neuroticism run amok.  One of the key elements to the insanity is the fear of sex and the potency of smokers who enjoy their adult pleasures to the fullest.

Dialogue with our readers

July 15 - A great point against the antis - Robert is an avid reader of our website, and he writes to us with a good argument: if the antismokers are so worried about the unproven hazards of passive smoke for children in cars, why there is no action against the proven hazards of dangerous driving when children are on board? A good argument indeed, except that Robert - like all honest people - thinks about logic, commonsense and real priorities. But that is not at all what antitobacco is about. Our C.E.O. Gian Turci responds.
