It
should be clear to all that integrity doesn't matter, truth is no longer
valued and freedom is an archaic concept. We link below to
comments by Dr. Michael Siegel, a tobacco control advocate. You
should read each of them and realize that they are from "the horses
mouth."
There is much to be learned from these recent postings. The first and
foremost point is that, in spite of the good intentions of Siegel and very few
others, antitobacco as a movement never had an ounce of integrity. It has been a
predatory business on the tobacco industry and on smokers since its inception,
and it has now become a colossal, international industry. True, in the beginning the dishonest
intentions of that industry were much less visible - but even 10 of 15 years ago
it became pretty clear that the whole thing was based on a statistical fraud - especially
since the EPA Report on Passive Smoke back in 1992.
It is equally clear that,
since this movement is based on financial exploitation and on sheer power, it is useless to seek and point out contradictions, truth, and - especially -
to hope that one day "this will end". This will never end as
long as there is one smoker smoking, one drinker drinking or one person who does
not meet the moving target of perfect weight or diet. From an
arguable heath issue, the war on smoking has snowballed into a philosophical, moral and
logical inversion and - like its Nazi predecessor - has evolved into a socially destructive industry feeding on
money and fear. Deficient in ethics and morality, contemporary
politicians exploit the hype propelled by the healthist doctrine as a sure bet of
political opportunity. Hence the conclusion that, if we want this to end,
energies have to be pooled and organized to destroy this evil international machine of
fraud and propaganda from within with any means available, and then pursue and punish those who are responsible -- not to
argue, debate, or seek "peaceful coexistence" when there can be none,
because none is desired by the other side. It is now clear that any attempt to
find a peaceful coexistence with antitobacco is as futile as the efforts of Jews
would have been to find an understanding with the Nazi Party.
To destroy the
greatest fraud in history, which now has the collaboration of governments and
ministries, is not an easy job - but it can be done. The first step is to
be taken with ourselves, by changing our mental posture and first realizing that, for all intents and purposes, we are fighting crime - there can
be no other definition for fraud and hate instigation. To realize the gravity of
this crime, just read the statements of the World Health Organization, for
example, or those of your local "health authorities". Simpler yet, read Siegel's
postings above.
As the antismokers' agenda is to make life impossible for
smokers - to the point of taking away their children, invading their private
property and destroying their families and their income - it is necessary that
smokers make
life impossible for them in any way they can - on the job, psychologically,
through political avenues, and in any other way conceivable. As this is clearly
a war, anything goes, any means becomes legitimate. We have to warn and educate the young and the old on who the enemy is,
how it operates, its lies and what dangers it represents - and the enemy is
institutional corruption and institutionalized falsehood. We have to
put aside the differences that exists amongst the various groups and unite
against the common enemy - and especially we have to stop treating the enemy
with respect - unless you want to respect fraud and oppression. And we have to
recapture dignity. Recapturing
dignity and pride of our way of life is the other fundamental step towards
victory. Yes, victory - for just when the times seem the darkest is when the opportunity is the
brightest. Let's get together and start to take a bite out of political crime.
