ANONYMOUS SUBMISSIONS WELCOMED
FORCES INTERNATIONAL is offering a reward of US $3,000.00 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of current or former anti-tobacco industry activist, institution or government official for anti-tobacco related crimes such as perjury, alteration/falsification of official documentation, false swearing, racketeering, and conspiracy.
The purpose of this reward program is help bring to justice individuals or organizations who have committed serious crimes as part of their efforts to uproot the use of tobacco through alteration and misrepresentation of data, false testimonials, misleading public information, and public encitement to persecutorial attitude.
It is clear that in the last few years the tobacco control movement -- perhaps originally well intentioned -- has degenerated into an industry of hate and falsehood financed by the government with taxpayers' money. This industry has effectively abandoned its primary purpose and it has turned its attention to the construction of false or questionnable scientific and statistical information, which is used as a base for furthering the persecution of smokers at the tune of hundred of millions of dollars in direct and indirect government support. This support if often difficult to trace back to the final recipients, since in most cases it disappears into the coffers of private organizations that are not mandated to disclose their fundings.
This kind of government-sponsored, self-perpetuating scam has attracted many unscrupolous individuals from all walks of life who portray themselves as saviours of society while filling positions often compensated at the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars per year paid by hard-earned taxpayers money. These individuals are responsible for a large amount of the public hysteria and misinformation about tobacco use and secondhand smoking that is now pervading the society of many nations, and it has already caused the undoing of families, loss of jobs, business, and much social stigmatization.
Often these individuals hold prominent positions in public life, or -- through their organizations -- dramatically influence the decisions and policies of government.
We believe that it is time to get tough with the wrongdoing of such organizations and individuals whose behaviour we no longer hesitate to define as criminal. These individuals and organizations have now a price tag on their heads.
FORCES INTERNATIONAL realizes that a reward on antismokers may be a controversial position -- it certainly is radical. But we feel bound to act on our conviction that many -- too many -- antismoking individuals and organizations are acting unethically, and we want to help to stop them. These parties obviously lie because of money, so it is only appropriate that we use money to get proof of their wrongdoing.
The targets of our reward program include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Antismoking organizations executives
- Professionals (lawyers, physicians, researchers, etc.) and institutions that have falsified, altered, or misrepresented data later used for campaigns against smoking and smokers
- Media reporting the above information without qualifications on the origins of such information
- Civil servants of all categories who have presented unscrutinized information to the public, or to other levels of government
- Political figures of any party
- Public government figures covering any function in state administration
Following are:
A list of things you can do to help the project, even if you don't have any information about the antismokers industry wrongdoing to submit.
A list of the rules of the reward program.
