"Kagan, though virtually unknown outside the White House, has become the administration's lead negotiator on tobacco, crafting much of Senator John McCain's tobacco legislation. The story of Kagan's involvement in hammering out a deal with Senate Republicans illustrates just how active the administration has been in shaping tobacco legislation behind the scenes. Although [Bruce] Reed and White House Chief of Staff Erskine Bowles are the public faces of Clinton's tobacco team, Kagan engineered the White House's most significant win in the tobacco talks so far: convincing McCain and his fellow Senate Republicans to give the Food and Drug Administration full authority over tobacco, while keeping the administration's bureaucrats at bay." Wonderwonk. White House Watch, by Dana Milbank. The New Republic, May 18, 1998.) From 2005 to 2008, while she was Dean of Harvard Law School, Kagan was a member of the Research Advisory Council of the Goldman Sachs Global Markets Institute. A Treasury Department spokesman said the advisory panel met once a year to discuss public policy issues and was not involved in any investment decisions. (Possible Supreme Court pick had ties with Goldman Sachs. By Matt Kelley. USA Today, Apr. 27, 2010.)
The New Republic, May 18, 1998 / tobacco documentNote that if Kagan is confirmed, Harvard and Yale graduates will
hold 8 out of 9 of the Supreme Court seats. And now we see the true
goal of the phony "constitutional lawyers"
imposed on us by the Elders of Zion at Harvard and Yale: To slavishly
proclaim that any outrage the anti-smokers at the FDA wish to commit
is "Constitutional." These "constitutional lawyers" are so contemptuous
of the constitution, they couldn't care less that for the
government to deliberately and systematically commit fraud to wage a
war of cultural genocide against the people, is inherently a violation
of our fundamental right to the equal protection of the law! And
where are the constitutional lawyers? Nowhere to be found! That proves
that this country is run not by the rule of law, but by the whims of
oligarchs! And this is made even more vile from the fact that she is a
smoker who whores for the anti-smokers and sells out her own kind, just
like her crony, Obama, no doubt because the Elders of Zion think we're
stupid sheep, who will trust them merely because they formerly smoked.
As solicitor general, Kagan signed the government's appeal to the
Supreme Court of the federal lawsuit against the tobacco companies. "In
asking the court to hear its appeal, the administration said the
industry's half-century of deception 'has cost the lives and damaged
the health of untold millions of Americans.'" The government wanted to
rob smokers of $280 billion in past profits plus $14 billion to fund
its hate campaign against smoking. The tobacco companies said that the
courts' decision to brand their statements about smoking as fraudulent
"unfairly denied them their First Amendment rights to engage in the
public-health debate about smoking." (High court turns down both sides
in tobacco fight. Associated Press, Jun. 28, 2010.) Yet the tobacco companies themselves have
refused to attack the anti-smokers' scientific fraud of deliberately
using defective studies to falsely blame tobacco for diseases that are
really caused by infection at any time, including in this court case,
and despite the overwhelming evidence in their favor!
In fact, the government
failed to identify a single act of scientific fraud or racketeering
supposedly perpetrated by the defendants.
In fact, for the last six decades, it is the United States goverment itself which has engaged in deliberate, systematic scientific fraud, to deceive the public about the dangers of smoking and secondhand smoke, to wrongfully deprive smokers of liberty, and to inflict extortionate taxes - at the direct instigation of the so-called public health groups involved in the case - the American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, American Lung Association, Americans for Nonsmokers' Rights, and Tobacco-Free Kids Action Fund, and with the collusion of the mass media.
Harvard University utilizes fakers and frauds to push its political
agenda of health fascism. Here, a "constitutional lawyer" with the
reasoning power of a kindergartener, and a fake economist who pulls
numbers out of his rear end, attempt to rationalize the
unconstitutional individual mandate.
They mischaracterize the issue by pretending that the only Constitutional concern of the Commerce Clause is whether or not buying insurance can be characterized as an "economic activity," and that if it is, then anything goes. Their specious and self-serving line is that 'buying insurance is an economic decision. Congress has the power under the Commerce Clause to regulate economic behavior. Therefore, Congress can force people to buy private health insurance.' This is like saying that 'making a donation to the Unitarian Church is an economic decision. Congress has the power under the Commerce Clause to regulate economic behavior. Therefore, Congress can force people to make a donation to the Unitarian Church.' This is exactly the kind of incompetent and infantile tripe that law schools are supposed to educate students to think above!
They viciously lie that "the uninsured consume more than $50 billion
in
uncompensated care, the costs of which are passed through health care
institutions to insured Americans." IN FACT, three quarters of the
costs of uncompensated care have been paid for by government programs,
which, unlike the individual mandate, are not unconstitutional. Nothing
prevented Congress from expanding those programs or creating similar
ones. Furthermore, even if all private funding for uncompensated care
were recouped from private insurance payments, this would still amount
to only 1.7% of private insurance premiums (Hadley et al, 2008).
Meanwhile, those with health insurance have inflicted a burden of $246
billion in lost federal tax revenues due to the exclusion of
employer-provided health insurance from taxable income. The cost of
making up for these lost revenues is distributed across everyone,
including the uninsured (Van de Water, 2009). They pretend that a
miscellaneous grab-bag of rationalizations about saving some people
from bankruptcy (from a single particular contributing cause, namely
medical bills) and empty promises of improving workplace productivity
are justifications to violate our Constitutional rights.
Continuing to evade the fact that several Consitutional means
existed to fund health care for people who can't afford it, they whine
about "adverse selection," and pretend that they are entitled to
sacrifice our inalienable rights in the name of the financial
well-being of the insurance companies! In fact, the real question that
should be asked is WHY DIDN'T THEY DO
IT RIGHT IN THE FIRST PLACE? And
the answer is clear: The health law's requirement that all
approved health plans must subject their victims to so-called
"wellness" programs, means tyranny over the details of our personal
lives, founded on the deliberate, systematic scientific fraud of
lifestyle querstionnaire studies that ignore the role of infection.
These are the corrupt methods of the Harvard School of Public Health
and its tools. Harvard is the mothership of the Unitarian Church, and
these fraudulent methods have been chosen to impose its puritan beliefs
on everyone else by disguising them as supposed "science." Due to the
socioeconomic fact that poorer people are more likely to have been
exposed to infection, they are guaranteed to "discover" plenty of bogus
"risk factors," and NO REAL ONES! This provides the oligarchy at
Harvard with pretexts to wage a war of cultural genocide, in the false
names
of "science" and with the power of the U.S. government.
And then these shysters and cheats, whose law has been cynically
crafted to usurp absolute control over all of our lives, have the gall
to simper that "To characterize the ACA as a law aimed at anything
other than individual economic conduct is to fundamentally miss the
point of the legislation." (Buying Health Care, the Individual Mandate,
and the Constitution. By Sara Rosenbaum, J.D. [of the HSPH], and Jonathan Gruber,
Ph.D. New
England Journal of Medicine, June 23, 2010.) In fact, to characterize
the ACA as anything other than outrageous tyranny is to miss the point
of the legislation.
The Republican organ, The
Washington Times, is conditioning their audience to accept the
unconstitutional individual mandate, by deliberately misrepresenting
that the Democrats' prize rationalization for it, Wickard v. Filburn, permits it. The
propagandist left out the key fact that Filburn was a voluntary member
of a federal price stabilization program (and also revealed his true
agenda by gratuitously spouting health fascist lies about pretended
"unhealthy lifestyles" and health costs). He assures us that "The
Wickard v. Filburn case is not a constitutional aberration. It is part
of the foundation upon which modern interstate-commerce-clause
jurisprudence is based." This is intended to make opponents believe
that resistance is futile. (Kagan's cookbook: The joy of tyranny. By
David P. McGinley. Washington Times, Jul. 13, 2010.) This is a perfect
example of how we're being betrayed on purpose by those who pretend to
be sympathetic.
In fact: "As a wheat grower, farmer Filburn was a willing,
participating member of that class, and could be barred from growing
more wheat than his allotment, regardless of how he planned to use it.
Unlike farmer Filburn, however, those who decide not to purchase health
insurance have not engaged in a commercial activity. Indeed, they have
chosen to abstain from engaging in economic activity. In passing the
Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, Congress only claimed the power to
regulate commercial farmers, like Roscoe Filburn, who engage in the
activity of growing wheat as part of an interstate market. The statute
even exempted small farms. Congress's current effort to compel all
Americans to buy health insurance, whether they want to or not, is
tantamount to the Agricultural Adjustment Act requiring each American,
rural and city dwellers alike, to grow a particular amount of wheat."
(Why the Personal Mandate to Buy Health Insurance Is Unprecedented and
Unconstitutional. By Randy Barnett, Nathaniel Stewart, and Todd
Gaziano. Legal Memorandum #49, The Heritage Foundation, Dec. 9, 2009.)
These people think that all we notice is the feely-talk about
tyranny, and that if they pretend to share our concerns, we'll accept
them as friends, and they can manipulate us and make us swallow Big
Lies! Then, they let the tyrants win by failing to mention the crucial
facts, and nobody will notice the dirty trick they played! This is
exactly the same dirty trick the traitorous tobacco industry lawyers
have used to sell out smokers on every occasion.
The latest anti-smoker propaganda claims that "Scientists may have
found a way to tell
which smokers are at highest risk of developing lung cancer: measuring
a telltale genetic [sic] change inside their windpipes." Dr. Avrum
Spira et al. found that some current or former smokers with lung cancer
or precancerous lesions had higher activity of a certain enzyme in
their upper airways than those who didn't. "[T]he genes involved were
part of a well-known cancer-causing pathway named the PI3K pathway.
When PI3K-related genes are too active, too much cell growth can occur,
but most studies have examined those genes only in tumors." Six of nine
patients treated with experimental drugs had there lesions improve.
It's dressed up with deceitful rhetoric that "Smoking bathes the entire
respiratory tract in toxins." (Developing test to warn smokers of
cancer danger. By Lauran Neergaard, AP Medical Writer, Apr. 8, 2010.)
BUT - What
they're testing for, activation of the PI3K system, is actually a sign
of virus infection. "A number of viruses including EBV, HPV, HBV
and HCV have the ability to establish long-term infections in the host,
either through the establishment of latent or chronic infections, which
can ultimately lead to cellular transformation. It appears that the
gene products of these viruses stimulate PI3K–Akt-mediated cell
survival and thereby block apoptosis of the cells they infect. This contributes
to both virus survival and oncogenic transformation..."
(The pivotal role of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase–Akt signal
transduction in virus survival. S Cooray. J Gen Virol
2004;85:1065-1076.)
And among that list of viruses, HPV is implicated in at least a quarter of non-small cell lung cancers. Cytomegalovirus, an even more widespread chronic infection, also activates the PI3K pathway. It is an intrinsic property of these viruses. The fact that Spira et al. must test for PI3K activation is prima facie evidence that it is not an intrinsic effect of smoking. But they don't mention these salient facts, never mind demonstrate that they are not merely measuring the effects of viral infection, and they blame PI3K activation on smoking by the use of deceitful rhetoric. They use the word "smokers" 76 times, while admitting that "this increased activity is independent of smoking status or other smoking-related disease." This is part of a deliberate, systematic conspiracy which the funding sources for many of Spira et al.'s studies, including the National Cancer Institute and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, have engaged in for decades, in order to deceive the public and wage of war of cultural genocide against smokers. (Airway PI3K Pathway Activation Is an Early and Reversible Event in Lung Cancer Development.

Gustafson / Sci Transl Med 2010 full articleLook at the puppet Obama sneering: "Leaders of the
Republican
Party, they called the passage of this bill 'Armageddon,' Obama said.
"End of freedom as we know it." "So after I signed the bill, I looked
around to see if there any asteroids falling or some cracks opening up
in the Earth," Obama said. "It turned out it was a nice day. Birds were
chirping. Folks were strolling down the Mall. People still have their
doctors." (Barack Obama to GOP: 'Go for it'. By Carol E. Lee. Politico,
Mar. 25, 2010.) What it proves is his total isolation from the feelings
of the majority of the American people! What it proves
is his callous sadism toward our just grievances! Truth, freedom and
justice mean absolutely nothing to these criminals, as they grind their
bootheels in our faces and smirk! He lives in a fantasy world, where
the people are nothing feeble-minded simpletons, adoring him for taking
care of them! Where his only "opponents" are just strawmen invented by
health fascist allies! For him and his evil cronies, the world is
nothing but a stage for them to masturbate their egos on!
The health
insurance companies and charlatans are the main beneficiaries; they
conspired together with the Republicans and Democrats all along; a
Republican
sponsored the fraudulent "wellness" provisions; the Harvard-Robert Wood
Johnson Foundation health policy machine pulled the strings behind the
scenes...
Pages 123-126, Individual Responsibility: The supposed Constitutional justifications for the individual mandate to buy health insurance don't even resemble any kind of Constitutional reasoning. They're just a mishmash of flimsy rationalizations, crassly promoting a single special interest, such as: It's a whole lot of money (as if the mere fact entitles the government to seize it from the citizens). Insurance is sold in interstate commerce (so the government can grab money that isn't in interstate commerce and isn't being used to buy insurance at all). It's a good thing because it will add millions of "consumers" (and whether they want it or not is treated as irrelevant), and increase the demand for health care services (which will cost additional money). It will prevent some personal bankruptcies due to medical costs (It will help some people, while others don't matter; nor do other reasons for personal bankruptcy, because they don't supply a pretext for this legislation.) The insurance companies must be protected from people who wait until they're sick to buy insurance (although it would have saved the taxpayers money to simply pay for health care for people with no money, while leaving those who can pay to do so). The citizens' rights must be sacrificed to serve the insurance companies claimed need for "economies of scale" (Why do people who are not their customers owe them anything? Next they'll demand we invade other countries to force them to join the risk pool). The Supreme Court ruled that insurance is interstate commerce subject to Federal regulation (so the government can just grab any money anywhere, because it might be used to buy insurance). This is breathtakingly moronic, and reads like the sales pitch of a pushy insurance salesman.
Forcing people to buy private health insurance is unprecedented in
every way. It is also completely unnecessary for its supposed purpose
of providing health care for the uninsured,
because this program could have been funded in numerous other ways
which are not
unconstitutional. The real question is, WHY DIDN'T THEY DO
IT RIGHT IN THE FIRST PLACE? It's clear from reading the bill
that the real reason is so that they can shove their Nazi
pseudo-science of "wellness" down everyone's throat. The "wellness"
garbage would be a required part of every approved health insurance
plan (pages 45-46, further defined on page 18). It includes government
grants for employers to institute wellness programs, which rewards
believers in health fascist pseudo-science with premium discounts of up
to 50% (pages 41-42). This is using taxpayer money to bribe people for
anti-scientific ideological purposes!
The bottom line is that the taxpayers have no financial interest
whatsoever in coercing people to stop smoking or to lose weight. These
things would not only not save health costs, to the extent that they
worked, they would increase them. Because the truth interfered with
their totalitarian agenda, the criminals in Congress deliberately
created the fraudulent SAMMEC
computer program to deceive the public with lying propaganda. The
SAMMEC
falsely pretends that costs paid by smokers were paid by society, that
diseases caused by infection were caused by smoking, and that
non-smokers' costs don't exist at all. Other promoters of health
fascism, including the main
architect of this health plan, simply pull an enormous arbitrary
"value" for life out of their rear ends, and pretend that this is a
cost to society!
The truth is that at age 20, smokers' lifetime costs will total 220k
Euros, obese peoples' costs will total 250k Euros, and the "Healthy
Living" will cost 281k Euros [approximately $303k, $344k, and $387k
U.S.] (Lifetime Medical Costs of Obesity: Prevention No Cure for

The new Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee of the Food
and Drug Administration is chaired by the same fraudster, Jonathan M. Samet, Harvard 1966,
who has ring-led every previous major
anti-smoker initiative. Jon Samet has been an anti-smoking activist
since the Fifth World
Conference on Smoking and Health in 1983. He was one of three
"consulting scientific editors" and "prepared draft chapters or
portions" of the 1986 Surgeon General Report, "The Health Consequences
of Involuntary Smoking," and was also involved in the 1984, 1985, 1989,
1990, 1994, 1998, 2000, 2001 and 2004 SG Reports, and was Senior
Scientific Editor of the 2006 Surgeon General Report, "The Health
Consequences of Involuntary Exposure to Tobacco Smoke." He was also a
member of the Science Advisory Board of the so-called "EPA" Report on
ETS, the key chapters of which were actually secretly written by an
anti-smoking activist crony of Samet's, using illegal pass-through
contracts to conceal his role. Samet was Chairman of the IARC
(International Agency for Research on Cancer) committee which produced
the fraudulent Monograph on Smoking and Involuntary Smoking in 2003. In
2005, Samet and three anti-smoking activist cronies formed a majority
of the voting board of the ASHRAE Position Document on ETS. In
addition, he committed perjury in 1998 in the State of Minnesota
lawsuit against the cigarette companies, and testified in the US
Department of Justice lawsuit against them as well.
The anti-smokers lie that their various reports on secondhand smoke
and smoking are "independent." But they were all produced by
Samet and a little handpicked clique of his fellow travelers! And every
one of them
is based on the scientific fraud of deliberately ignoring, or failing
to adequately account for, the role of infection in diseases blamed on
smoking. No input from real scientists has ever been allowed in these
fraudulent reports! This is proof that the system is totally corrupt,
and under the exclusive control of an
evil clique of politically-connected (and PROTECTED) conspirators!
Shades of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion - it proves that every
election is
nothing but a puppet change!
Here the kind of "quality" health care that the health fascist charlatans have been inflicting for decades on patients who smoke. "[S]urgeon Stephen Levine, M.D., said that he would not perform any kind of elective surgery on a smoker. "One cigarette decreases the blood flow to the legs by 30 percent for one hour," Levine said. "If you smoke a pack of cigarettes, you will have chronic low blood flow. Under those circumstances, nothing's going to heal." (Studies make docs rethink how to treat smokers. By Anne Geggis. Daytona Beach News-Journal, May 24, 2010.)
Studies make docs rethink how to treat smokers / Daytona Beach News-JournalThe anti-smokers' fraudulent claims are based on studies of
capillaries, in which the supposed effect is so trivial that the
subjects must be kept absolutely still at a certain precise
temperature, which is at the balance point between vasoconstriction and
vasodilation. And, it is a physiological fact that arteries, which
carry blood flow to the limbs, have no receptors which could respond to
nicotine in the first place. His babblings posit a physiological
impossibility!
If this quack believes that "One cigarette decreases the blood flow to the legs by 30 percent for one hour," then he's an idiot and an incompetent who should be disciplined by his medical society. However, the medical societies of this country and others have been derelict in their duties to patients for decades. This calls for civil rights action at the federal level.
The stock
pretension of the morally depraved anti-smoker spin-meisters (who
self-righteously spew unadulterated Nazi pseudo-science in our faces)
is to pretend that big-money investments by pension funds are a moral
issue of profiting from tobacco. In fact, their financial control gives
them voting control, and that is how the anti-smokers elect traitors
and appoint stooges who let the anti-smokers get away with their
scientific frauds to lie the public about the risks of tobacco, support
cowardly sell-out politicians, and throw lawsuits so that smokers will
be forced to pay outrageous and unjust "damages."
"At the same time Ottawa is trying to get Canadians to stop smoking
through ads, high taxes, age restrictions and dire health warnings on
every cigarette pack, the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB),
the federal Crown corporation that manages the assets of the Canada
Pension Plan, is pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into tobacco
stocks. As of March 31, 2008, its tobacco holdings had a market value
of more than $490-million. Virtually every salary-earner in Canada over
the age of 18 must pay into the Canada Pension Plan. It's the law. And
like it or not, part of your premiums have been used to buy huge stakes
in some of the world's biggest tobacco companies. These holdings
include $165-million stake in Philip Morris International and a
$72-million investment in Altria, which controls half the U. S.
cigarette market. Your CPP contributions have also been used to buy
$38-million worth of British American Tobacco, the world's #2 tobacco
firm (behind Altria Group) and a company that sells nearly 855 billion
cigarettes in more than 190 countries annually. Other sizable holdings
include Japan Tobacco ($42-million), Imperial Tobacco
($25-million),Carolina Group ($24-million), Korea Tobacco
($21-million), Reynolds American ($12-million) and Canada's largest
tobacco company, Rothman's ($57-million)." The CPP has increased its
tobacco holdings by over 390% in the last three years. Meanwhile, the
Canadian government is spending $180 million over three years to
persecute smokers. (The CPP should butt out. By Gordon Keast. National
Post, July 29, 2008 link died; Gordon Keast: Why is the Canada Pension
Plan Investing in one of Canada's Biggest Killers? National Post Blogs,

In fact, the anti-smoking conspiracy began over a century ago. Skull & Bones ring-led the
creation of the
American Tobacco Trust, to gather
all the
companies under anti-smoker control. But they knew that they couldn't
just take over the tobacco companies and shut them down, because others
would simply enter the field. So, they created and built up enemies to
persecute tobacco, particlarly the American
Cancer
Society, the Harvard School
of Public Health,
and the American Heart Association,
and used
these as proxies to create and control the federal health establishment
(the National Institutes of Health and National Cancer Institute, et
al.) to manufacture fraudulent pseudo-science to deceive the public at
taxpayer expense. The anti-smoker-controlled tobacco companies merely
put up a phony pretense of fighting the anti-smoker-controlled "health"
lobbies, and purposely throw lawsuits (that is, to those brought by the
"right" plaintiffs) in order to financially intimidate potential
entrants into the tobacco industry. And, Philip
Morris/Altria has been a particular flagrant example of
conspiratorial control. The anti-smokers used it to scoop up the
remaining companies that hadn't been sucked into the Tobacco Trust, and
they built it up to serve as the lead Judas Goat to betray the rest. J. Russell
Forgan, who
later wrote the act creating the Central Intelligence Agency, began
investing Marshall
Field 3d's
money in the tobacco industy in the late 1920s, and he led the
financing of Philip Morris's expansion from the 1940s to 1960s, when he
specifically recruited insitutional investors. From 1960 to 1981, the
stepson of the head of the American Cancer Society was on its board of
directors!
The Nazi slime at the World Health Organization,
just got another $125 million dollars from Microsoft billionaire Bill
Gates. Like a snake in the grass, Bill Gates has been funding research
on [acute] infections in order to deceive people about his real
intentions. Now we know conclusively what side he's really on - the
side of lies, ignorance, and tyranny! He's on the side of filthy
criminals, who deliberately use defective studies based on nothing but
lifestyle questionnaires in order to falsely blame smoking for diseases
that are really caused by infection! "It will urge governments to
sharply raise tobacco taxes [to suck our blood while we are
disenfranchised by anti-smoker corruption!], prohibit smoking in public
places [based on naked Nazi pseudo-science that deliberately falsely
blames passive smoking for lung cancer caused by HPV], outlaw
advertising to children and cigarette giveaways [while they brainwash
children with lies!], start antismoking advertising campaigns
[Nazi-style campaigns of abuse and defamations!] and offer people
nicotine patches or other help quitting [a handout for Big Pharma, not
a favor to us!].
The sniveling, crawling little bootlickers at British American Tobacco, who have never uttered so much as a peep of protest about the anti-smokers' Nazi pseudo-science and Nazi bullying, simpered, "We have no problem with government organizations educating people on the risks of tobacco." Well, WE have a LOT of problems with filthy government puke lying in our faces and waging a war of cultural genocide against us, funded by our own stolen money! (Billionaires Back Antismoking Effort. By Donald G. McNeil. New York Times, July 24, 2008 - http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/24/health/24tobacco.html ) And remember - ALL of this has been facilitated by their lying whores in the media, who censor all criticism of this Nazi pseudo-science, to deceive the public and shove THEIR totalitarian political agenda down the world's throats.
"Supporters of the legislation, which has broad bipartisan support,
mobilized lobbyists — 400 from the American Cancer Society alone — and
began advertising to win the votes needed to override a veto threatened
by Mr. Bush."
The financial arguments against funding government programs with a tax that is formulated to eradicate their revenue source only serve to demonstrate that the wellbeing of those programs is not the true goal. Therefore, to point out the obvious is to miss the point that the true purpose of those taxes is social oppression, not the good of children; furthermore, the tax supporters are pleased that it hits the poor more than the rich, because they're the demographic target. So much for the "caring" Democrat Party!
And isn't it touching how they fawn on the homosexual vote, while
ignoring ten times more smokers. See how they pretend that gays are
"oppressed," while pandering to them from a forum, LOGO, that the
corporate fascists created to serve the gays - while we smokers have
nothing of the kind. In addition, nobody ever got so much money, so
fast, as the gays did for AIDS research, and they don't have to
subsidize the eradication of their own lifestyle, either. Meanwhile,
the health fascists loot and plunder smokers' money and use it to
further persecute us (including buying off other people in the name of
"the children"), and no smoker has ever been allowed a voice in these
matters.
Then, see how the Dems nurture, encourage and reward the illegal
aliens, who theoretically aren't even allowed to vote. Look how they
pass smoking bans to eradicate smokers' culturally-friendly business
establishments, while Spanish-language signs, etc., proliferate. (There
are local radio stations dedicated to them, while all smokers get is
more forums for anti-smokers to spew their lies and bash smokers, with
no informed smokers' advocates allowed.) See the Dems encourage
self-righteous marches for the illegal aliens, while pouring abuse on
us!
Someone needs to point out the obvious to those deluded psychopaths: That the real oppressed minority is the people who are being systematically persecuted by THEMSELVES!
And the putrid filth pretend it's all "for the children": "Daniel E.
Smith, vice president of the American Cancer Society, said: 'The choice
is simple: Are you for kids? Are you for tobacco companies? Mr.
President and Congress, we hope you side with the kids.'" (Congress Set
for Veto Fight on Child Health Care. By Robert Pear and Carl Hulse. New
York Times, Sep. 25, 2007.)
"People who smoke with children present in the confined space of a car or truck might as well be deliberately trying to kill those children, said City Councilor Patricia Blanchette, who is a smoker." "An amendment that was added Monday to the original proposal makes the violation a primary offense, rather than a secondary offense. That means police can pull over vehicles if they see somebody smoking with anybody under 18 in the vehicle; if it were a secondary offense, police would have to stop the vehicle for some other reason, such as speeding." Sniveling, cowardly, weenie "Aaron Prill of Bangor told the council that the ordinance was a "feel-good option" that was not intended to protect children but rather to "moralize" against smokers. Most smokers have enough common sense not to smoke around children, he said." (Bangor Makes It Illegal to Smoke in Cars. AP, Jan. 9, 2007.) No, Patricia Blanchette is a dirty, brainless whore of the anti-smokers! The filthy lie-spewing scum got their precious EPA ETS report written via illegal pass-through contracts to handpicked anti-smoking activists - with a crony of George W. Bush and a bigshot Democrap on the board of directors of the crooked company! And it's flagrantly fraudulent because the dirty, lying charlatans pretend that infections don't exist so that they can falsely blame secondhand smoke! And ever since the dirty vermins' anti-smoking campaign began, the death rates from asthma more than doubled! AND THE LIE-SPEWING FILTH IN THE MEDIA HAVE COVERED IT ALL UP IN ORDER THE RAPE US!
The DOJ's accusations are a travesty concocted by malice-ridden, subhuman baboons, who believe in magic and think it's science, and think they are entitled to persecute infidels and suppress science in its own name.
Anti-smokers in California, Massachusetts and Washington received millions of dollars in subsidies from the National Cancer Institute and from state government to force their agenda down the public's throat. (Memorandum. Samuel D. Chilcote to Thomas C. Griscom and Ellen Merlo. Nov. 30, 1992.)
Chilcote Memo, Nov. 30, 1992 / tobacco documentThe health fascist power elite controls BOTH SIDES! They keep

patsies to have access to the mass media, where they are guaranteed
never to make a serious criticism or depart from subsidiary issues. You
can always tell the anti-smokers' patsies because they accept the
anti-smokers' scientific fraud of ignoring the role of infection and
using studies based on nothing but lifestyle questionnaires to falsely
blame tobacco. They never mention the role of HPV in lung cancer, etc.
- only about air quality.
They help the anti-smokers pretend that our only defense is a few
studies cherry-picked from the anti-smokers' own junk pile. Instead of
attacking the scientific fraud, they
want smokers to be an
unpaid lobby on behalf of the hospitality industry and help to prop up
their businesses, while they refuse to file a RICO
lawsuit against the
anti-smokers that would put an end to the persecution. They
actively peddle the anti-smokers' propaganda
about
"magic foods" that supposedly protect people from cancer. They parrot
the health fascists' hysteria about "scary chemicals" vague
generalizations about genes, and where these explanations fail to
suffice, they undercut our movement by ignoring the evidence
implicating infections and pretending that "nobody knows"
what causes cancer and other chronic diseases. They ignore the lengthy
history of anti-smoking activism by Wall Street banksters, their
Harvard and Yale accomplices, and the Lasker Lobby, and distract
attention away from them by blaming pharmaceutical companies (on the
grounds that one of them funds a foundation created by its founders'
heirs which is dedicated to health fascist activism). And, THEY BAN INFORMED
SMOKERS' ADVOCATES FROM THEIR FORUMS AND DELETE POSTS ABOUT INFECTION
AND CANCER, TO HELP KEEP SMOKERS IGNORANT!

anti-smoker-approved fake opponents, despicable traitors who've done

The American Heart Association's Bones Connections
The American Heart AssociationIn the 1930s, there was scientific debate over the respective roles
of
infection versus lifestyle and chemical carcinogens in heart disease
and cancer. The health fascist advocates of the latter proceeded to
"settle" the debate by taking over the government, using our tax
dollars to fund their propaganda machine while suppressing research on
infection.
According to a blurb on their website attributed to the Wall Street Journal, "The driving force behind the huge 15% increase in the NIH budget was an umbrella organization called Research!America." Politicians hang around them like flies around a garbage dumpster because their media accomplices will look the other way while they dispense favors.
Research!America - J. Morton Davis; Paul G. Rogers; Charles A. Sanders; John Whitehead; Mary Woolley; James B. Wyngaarden Pages; Thomas Langfitt linkIn 1997, the American Health Foundation got $11 million from the NIH; The RAND Corporation got $11 million; Johns Hopkins University got $292 million; the University of California at San Francisco got $215 million; Harvard University got $180 million.

(And, if front group FORCES was a real smokers' rights group, they'd be eagerly exposing Banzhaf's mentors, instead of protecting them behind a wall of silence!)
The Fairy Tale of John Banzhaf and the "Fairness Doctrine"The Lasker Syndicate has a six-decade history of staging theatrical performances to manipulate Congress, with their media lackeys as publicists. The state tobacco lawsuits are their tour de force, a vast racketeering scheme, hatched in the Lasker Foundation, to loot smokers while making a mockery of justice.

Samet and Daniel C. Tosteson Pages; Anti-Trust Challenge to tobacco settlementThe vaunted battle of "David versus Goliath" was really an
anti-smoker Goliath pretending to fight a Philip Morris hand puppet.
The tobacco industry's so-called "fight" has been a sham. If they were
serious, they would have filed suit against the anti-smoking
organizations for conspiracy, fraud, and racketeering under the RICO
statutes. (And the same goes for the leaders of the hospitality
industry, who deliberately set themselves up to lose by arguing their
case as "Our profits versus public health" - and who trick ban
opponents into supporting more smoking bans under the pretext of a
"level playing field.")
Like in the tobacco lawsuits, the scheme is to put up a phony fight and then roll over and settle - to fill the pockets of the health fascists and their trial lawyer accomplices, at the expense of consumers. McDonald's Corporation's board of directors is infested with the McCormick Blair gang of Chicago. That's why they flopped on their bellies and shoveled $8.5 million into the pockets of the scientific fraud-perpetrating American Heart Association.
The Fast Food Lawsuits / The Illinois Interlock (McDonalds; William Blair & Co.; Aon Corp.)Here's the so-called "freedom" our soldiers are supposed to die for. The lie-spewing fascist media propagandize us to quit smoking, by using an ignorant, craven piece of crap, who licks the vermins' boots and thanks them for locking him up in a SMOKE-FREE JAIL! "Thank you, master, for relieving me of the burden of my freedom" is what Anti-Smoker Occupied Amerika really stands for. This is how the bloodsuckers convince themselves that the whole world is just longing to be invaded, looted, plundered, and raped by themselves. This is why the bloodsuckers are so astonished when the patriotic people of Iraq hate their guts and resist them! (How Prison Helped Me Kick My Smoking Habit. Diane Martin. Pacific News Service, Sep. 28, 2004.) Forget your "War on Terror," because Anti-Smoker Amerika is the fascist dictatorship that should be annihilated from the face of the earth!
Martin / Smokers' ClubThe American Cancer Society is a corrupt,
fascist, POLITICAL
organization, which deliberately uses defective studies to falsely
blame smoking (and other "lifestyle" targets) for diseases that are
actually caused by infection. Its
roots are in the World War II political machine that created the O.S.S.
and C.I.A.
M. David Low of the Lasker Syndicate's "Medicine and Public Health Initiative" is also a founding member of the Communitarian movement.
The M. David Low PageIn addition to the massive lobbying efforts of the Lasker Syndicate phalanges in every state legislature (e.g., the American Cancer Society, the American Heart Association, the American Lung Association, and the American Public Health Association, et al.), the health fascists coordinate their activities through the National Conference of State Legislatures. See how they parrot every one of the Syndicate's vicious lies about tobacco.

The John Mendelsohn PageFor over 50 years, the health establishment has suppressed research on infection in chronic diseases, and purposely used defective statistical analyses to falsely blame smoking for diseases actually caused by infection. The American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, and American Lung Association all deliberately commit this fraud. Do not donate money to these criminals!
PS: The health fascists' blow-off that healthy lifestyles prevent infection is automatically a lie, because in the absence of appropriate research (taking exposure into account, not merely lifestyle questionnaires!), such a claim cannot legitimately be made.
FURTHERMORE - Every time those bloodsuckers gloat that "THERE IS NO DISSENT," they really mean that "No public dissent is ALLOWED" in the mass media. These psychotic fascists truly believe that they can destroy truth by suppressing it, and they have been systematically raping the peoples' minds for six decades! They are the enemies of humanity, and their destruction is the most noble cause on earth!
This misinformation from the supposed smokers' rights group NYC CLASH perpetrates the absolutely crucial frauds that our health fascist enemies need to trick their suckers. All the rest of its verbiage is just a smokescreen of distractions. It claims that "Infection itself is just a fraction of the game; its how you _handle_ that exposure." This is a dirty, stinking lie. For example, in the case of cervical cancer, WITHOUT EXPOSURE TO HPV, THERE IS NO "GAME!" Furthermore, without adequate quantification of exposure, confounding cannot be eliminated, and the role, if any, of other ostensible factors cannot be determined. And it is the specious results of confounded studies that are the main basis of these charlatans' claim that diseases are "multifactorial," and of their desire to pretend that it is all nothing but a "game of math" with speculation about causal pathways as a window-dressing. This is how the health fascist deceivers who have infiltrated our movement trick smokers into wasting their efforts with irrelevant criticisms and nit-picking over trivia, while letting the anti-smokers get away with their gigantic Orwellian lie of omission. And, the supposed example of confounding in this article is merely an example of the post hoc fallacy (after this, therefore because of this), not confounding at all. (How To Read A Study, by Linda Stewart. NYC CLASH, 2003.)
How to Read a Study / NYC CLASHThe mechanisms by which certain infections cause cancer are KNOWN --
in stark contrast to the health establishment's speculations about
chemical carcinogens, where a mechanism of tobacco carcinogenesis has
still not been definitively identified after more than 50 years. Yet
the anti-smokers simply ignore infection! This is deliberate and
eggregious scientific fraud.

'Unbiased high-throughput
sequencing' identifies new pathogens
"In our cluster, a new arenavirus was first detected through
unbiased high-throughput sequencing. Thereafter, the infection was
confirmed by means of culture, electron microscopy, and specific
immunohistochemical and serologic tests. As in the other two reported
clusters of transplant-associated transmission, we detected no viral
nucleic acids in the donor and found no history of acute infectious
disease; however, the presence of IgG and IgM antibodies confirmed
recent infection.... Although we have not fulfilled Koch's postulates,
evidence implicating this new virus in the outbreak of infection among
patients who received transplants is compelling. All three recipients
received organs from the same donor and died within days of one another
after febrile illness. Identical viral sequences were obtained from all
the recipients. The virus is new and was not detected in 100 organ
recipients who were not linked to this cluster. The results of
serologic analysis of specimens obtained from the donor were consistent
with recent infection, and seroconversion was observed in one
recipient... This technique may prove useful as a new tool in the
identification and surveillance of pathogens in chronic as well as
acute disease." (A New Arenavirus in a Cluster of Fatal

the majority of surveillance and discovery efforts use methods based on
sequences of known agents — namely, competitive polymerase chain
reaction (PCR) and microarrays. Such efforts fail, however, when the
agents in question are truly novel or sufficiently distant in sequence
from related agents that they confound hybridization. High-throughput
pyrosequencing has been used primarily to sequence large genomes; to my
knowledge, it has not previously been applied to pathogen discovery.
However, when Palacios et al. found that the classic application of
typical diagnostic assays, including viral culture, electron
microscopy, PCR, and panmicrobial microarrays, failed to identify an
infectious agent, they turned to pyrosequencing. Although derived
sequences at the nucleic acid level were not informative, bioinformatic
analyses at the protein level revealed footprints of a potential
causative agent. Using these sequences as a foundation for developing
specific molecular reagents, the investigators cloned the remainder of
the viral genome by means of PCR, propagated it in cell culture,
defined its morphologic characteristics by means of electron
microscopy, and created molecular and serologic assays for detection of
infection." (The New Age of Molecular Diagnostics for Microbial Agents.

Journal of Virology 2007 July;81(14):7629-7635. "Adenoviruses (AdVs) contain genes coding for proteins with transforming potential, and certain AdV serotypes have been shown to induce tumors in rodents. However, data on the possible oncogenicity of AdVs in humans are scarce. We have therefore employed a real-time quantitative PCR (RQ-PCR) assay permitting highly sensitive detection of all 51 currently known human AdV serotypes to screen more than 500 tumor specimens derived from 17 different childhood cancer entities including leukemias, lymphomas, and solid tumors. Most tumor entities analyzed showed no evidence for the presence of AdV sequences, but AdV DNA was detected by RQ-PCR in different brain tumors including 25/30 glioblastomas, 22/30 oligodendrogliomas, and 20/30 ependymomas. Nonmalignant counterparts of AdV-positive brain tumors, including specimens of ependymal cells, plexus choroideus, and periventricular white matter, were screened for control purposes and revealed the presence of AdV DNA in most specimens tested. Identification of the AdV types present in positive malignant and nonmalignant brain tissue specimens revealed predominantly representatives of species B and D and, less commonly, C. To exclude contamination as a possible cause of false-positive results, specimens with AdV sequences detectable by PCR were subsequently analyzed by in situ hybridization, which confirmed the PCR findings in all instances. The central nervous system appears to represent a common site of AdV infection with virus persistence, thus providing the first evidence for the possible contribution of AdVs to the multistep process of tumor pathogenesis in brain tissue."

patients with acute respiratory disease, including pneumonia. 86% were
under 3 years old. "Much of the interest in polyomaviruses and SV40 in
particular derives from the transforming properties carried by the
early transcriptional region of the viral genome that encodes for the
small T antigen (STAg) and and large T antigen (LTAg). T antigen is
capable of binding both p53 and Rb proteins and interfering with their
tumor suppressor functions. The early region alone is sufficient to
transform established primary rodent cell lines and in concert with
telomerase and ras transforms primary human cells... Since the T
antigen of WU is predicted to have transforming properties by analogy
to other polyomavirus T antigens, one question currently under
investigation is whether a subset of human tumors may be associated
with WU."

Polyomavirus in Peripheral Blood from Patients with
Leukoencephalopathies. S Delbue, S Tremolada, E Branchetti, F Elia, E
Gualco. J Clin Microbiol 2008 July; 46(7): 2461–2462. 1 / 10 patients
with progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), 2 / 10 with not
determined JCV-negative leukoencephalopathy (NDLE), 0 /10 with other
neurological diseases (OND), 0 / 10 with no neurological disorders, and
0 / 10 healthy controls were LPV-positive.
Seroepidemiology of Human Polyomaviruses. JM Kean, S Rao, M Wang, RL
Garcea. PLoS Pathogens 2009 Mar;5(3). Seroprevalence in 1501 healthy
adult blood donors was SV40 (9%), BKV (82%), JCV (39%), LPV (15%), KIV
(55%), WUV (69%), MCV strain 350 (25%), and MCV strain 339 (42%).
Seroprevalence in 721 pediatric patients (<21 y) was similar.
