For six decades, the U.S. government has waged a war of cultural genocide against us! For six decades, the U.S. government has lied in our faces! For six decades, the U.S. government has deliberately committed scientific fraud! For six decades, the U.S. government has purposely violated our rights!

DEATH to the United States Government!

Down With Health Fascist America - the Multibillion Dollar Empire of Tyranny, founded on CHARLATANISM!

For six decades we, the American people, have been victimized by deliberate, knowing scientific fraud, perpetrated by the American Cancer Society and its accomplices, and funded by their corrupt lackeys in Congress, whose goal is totalitarian dictatorship over every detail of our personal lives!

Worthless Congresspussies Still Bend Over for the Anti-Smokers!

These brain-dead, spineless pieces of human junk should be holding hearings exposing the anti-smokers' deliberate, systematic, and decades-long use of defective studies that ignore infection, to falsely blame smoking and lifestyle for diseases that are really caused by infection - not sniveling about slippery slopes like a bunch of stupid little children.

They already let the anti-smokers get away with banning smoking. Now these rejects have let anti-smoker Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) ban the sale of tobacco products altogether. And they're still incapable of responding in an intelligent manner! And how do these clueless and ineffectual chronic losers respond? "'The health nannies’ arbitrary ban on a legal and heavily taxed product bodes ill for the future marketing of Mountain Dew and Moon Pies,' said Rep. Thaddeus G. McCotter, an infuriated Republican, and smoker, from Michigan." [Only if you keep letting them get away with scientific fraud -cast] "'This is silly ‘feel good’ crap by a bunch of do-gooders,' barked a high-level Democratic staffer (also a smoker). “We should be worried about the housing crisis, the unemployment rate and the national debt instead of making staffers walk four blocks to buy a pack of smokes. We should have seen this coming." [As stupid as you are, you couldn't deal with these, either. Anyone who calls a bunch of criminals "do-gooders" is completely lost in space -cast] "'I was outraged,' said Richard Hudson, chief of staff to Rep. John R. Carter (R-Texas). 'It’s a legal product.'" [Thanks to morons like you, they'll probably change that soon, too -cast] "If we are really worried about people’s health, why are we still selling triple espressos, double bacon cheeseburgers and ice cream?' asked Hayden Rogers, chief of staff for Rep. Heath Shuler, a Democrat who hails from the tobacco state of North Carolina. 'We all make serious decisions every day with real consequences, yet adults on the Hill are not allowed to decide for themselves whether or not to buy tobacco.'" [You drooling imbecile, lifestyle questionnaire studies are fraud, not science! -cast] "'Apparently Dan Beard didn’t get the memo that the speaker is counting on more tobacco sales to ensure [the State Children’s Health Insurance Program] covers more adults and more illegal immigrants,' said Boehner spokesman Kevin Smith, tossing a little policy into the debate. 'Beard’s move is decidedly off-message for a Congress that purports to be ‘for the children.'" [Aren't you clever to try to change the subject - cast]. "'This is another thing to screw with staffers,' one anonymous aide grumbled about the tobacco ban. 'What’s next?'" [And what about how you incompetents have been letting the anti-smokers screw the American people all these years, you self-absorbed twit? -cast] (Lawmakers, staff pan smoke-free Congress. By Anne Schroeder Mullins. Politico.com, Jan 15, 2008, updated Jan. 16, 2008.)[filed in Politics.]

Now, why don't you get your sorry behinds in gear and organize an inquisition as the anti-smokers deserve? Or don't you want to admit that you've all been sitting there like a bunch of bobble-head dolls for four decades, letting the health fascist filth get away with lie after lie after lie after lie - and voting them more money, more money, and more money, and then telling the voters you're supporting health? You must all have been approved by the corporate interests because you're nothing but unquestioning lackeys!

The SCHIP Cigarette Tax:

It proves that the "core value" of the Democratic Party is persecuting smokers

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!

The American Cancer Society has four hundred (400) lobbyists working for SCHIP!!!

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.)

There is only ONE gang of criminals that has lied in the public's faces about the health risks of tobacco: That is the anti-smokers and their corrupt government puppets! Their crimes have had one purpose: to outlaw tobacco.

Why we should exterminate these vermin, genocide their children, and smash their putrid culture to rubble.

The scientific debate over ETS is not only NOT OVER; in fact, it has never been allowed to BEGIN, due to anti-smoker conspiracy, fraud and racketeering!

Terry Pechacek, Ph.D., associate director for science with the smoking and health office of the Centers for Disease Control, babbled: “The overall preponderance is now in agreement that the scientific debate is over,” said Dr. Pechacek. “There are always people who can quibble with individual details or individual conclusions. Among credible medical and public health scientists, there is no debate that secondhand smoke causes a risk.” LIAR! Due to their corrupt actions, Pechachek and his ilk at that office of the CDC, and their clones in the Surgeon General's Office, are not are NOT "credible medical and public health scientists." They are politically-protected charlatans, who have deliberately and systematically committed flagrant scientific fraud, by purposely using defective studies that ignore infection, in order to falsely blame secondhand smoke. They are criminals, more guilty than those in all the trumped-up molehills over scientific integrity put together, who rightfully belong in jail. E.g., human papillomavirus, which is KNOWN to cause cervical cancer, is also known to be involved in at least ten times as many lung cancers as there are pretended ETS deaths. The odds ratios for HPV in cervical cancer are almost infinite (over 300). Numbers like that in statistical programs are easily capable of generating phony risks due to confounding; and, because passive smokers are more likely to have exposed to HPV, the anti-smokers exploit this to falsely blame tobacco smoke. This is NOT a "quibble with individual details or individual conclusions" - THIS IS AN INDICTMENT FOR SYSTEMATIC FRAUD. Every single study the anti-smokers have ever considered is defective for this reason - and they have systematically ignored the evidence that their studies are defective, while deceiving the public with bombastic and unjustified proclamations of certainty such as this. (Experts: Science supports smoking bans Hospitality workers exposed to chilling levels of toxins. By Chris Birk. Scranton Times-Tribune, Jan. 14, 2007.)

ALL OF THEIR STUDIES ARE FRAUDS, NO MATTER HOW THEY REPACKAGE THEM!

"The days of smoke-filled rooms in the United States Capitol are over," Pelosi said. "Medical science has unquestionably established the dangerous effects of secondhand smoke, including an increased risk of cancer and respiratory diseases. I am a firm believer that Congress should lead by example." "Medical science" - that's what this piece of anti-smoker filth calls the politically-orchestrated scientific fraud - with greasy politician fingerprints all over it - that cynically exploits confounding by infection, and presumes that we're too stupid to see through the trick! And the sniveling, cringing, cowardly, gutless little pussy-wussy smokers in the House of Representatives let the lying piece of anti-smoker filth get away with this whopper without so much as a whimper of protest. (Pelosi Bans Smoking Near House Floor. AP, Jan. 10, 2007.) See the worthless, sniveling, despicable pussies of the Repuglican Party meekly ban smoking at their own Capitol Hill Club, all to please the bloodsucking, lie-spewing, corrupt health fascist vermin - may they be exterminated from the face of the earth! (Club smoking ban a drag for Republicans, not Democrats. By Emily Heil. The Hill, Jan. 11, 2007.)

We loathe you! We despise you! We hate your guts and we want you to die! We should be supporting al-Qaida, and help to wipe your corrupt, lying government off the face of the earth!

"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!

This is what the filthy anti-smoker-controlled US Government has forced us to subsidize: A public campaign of crude and vulger insults and outright BLOOD LIBEL (that favorite Christian tactic of falsely accusing the victims of their persecution of killing babies)! The Advertising Council, which glorifies these purveyors of defamations and fraud as a "public health foundation," and deems the employment of such tactics to promote the persecution of an oppressed minority to be "humorous:" "'Daddy’s gas could kill us all!' exclaims a young girl in a new public service advertisement (PSA) from the American Legacy Foundation... Don’t Pass Gas, a public service health campaign from Legacy and the Ad Council, is designed to educate Americans -- especially parents -- about the dangers of secondhand smoke and to motivate them to create smoke-free environments for their families. Earlier this year, U.S. Surgeon General Richard Carmona announced that no level of secondhand smoke is safe. Research indicates that one in five children with a smoking parent is exposed to secondhand smoke at home, and these children are at increased risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, lung infections, ear infections and severe asthma. The report points to the need to continue to educate Americans about the serious health risks posed by secondhand smoke." The foundation smears smokers as "addicts" and gibbers about "protecting their families from the devastating effects of secondhand smoke." These ads were created by Crispin Porter + Bogusky, of Miami, Florida, who also created their youth smoking prevention campaign, along with Arnold Worldwide of Boston. (Public Health Foundation Warns Against “Passing Gas.” News Detail, November 28, 2006.) Funny, funny, funny, ha, ha, ha - Isn't it just hilarious to subject innocent people to piles of lies and crude insults, without any opportunity for rebuttal? That's the American Way, right - to be just like the Church during the Inquisition! Let us work to wipe these depraved organizations off the face of the earth!

Another supporter is the Air America outlet in Madison, Wisconsin, which airs these defamatory PSAs during ritual sessions of hypocritical hand-wringing about the government trespassing against its citizens' rights - never including US, who have been the victims of decades of government abuse, which these "Progressive" phonies applauded instead of condemning!

The filthy parasites of the so-called "American Legacy Foundation" feed upon the billions of dollars looted from smokers, by means of phony show trials, acted out by corrupt state attorneys-general and anti-smoker robber barons, whose stooges took over the tobacco companies in order throw the lawsuits without a fight. Literally, the same politically-connected conspirators who dominated the cigarette advertising of the 1930s (that the anti-smokers self-righteously denounce), a few years later took over the federal health establishment and turned it into a tax-subsidized manufactory for their hate propaganda. Their deliberate and systematic use of defective studies, which are designed to falsely blame smoking and passive smoking for diseases that are actually caused by infection, are crimes against humanity - whose true object is to further their crypto-religious political and social agenda of health fascism, while suppressing legitimate scientific research. The only so-called "American Legacy" that these bloodsucking vermin represent, are the crypto-religious beliefs of a little clique of lying, cheating, stealing, hereditary elitists, who prey upon the public and force everyone to subsidize their demented beliefs. WHOLESALE CULTURAL RAPE IS WHAT THE BLOODSUCKING SCUM STAND FOR.

Are We the Victims of Propaganda? - A 1929 debate between Everett Dean Martin and the satanic Edward L. Bernays - of whose clique the arch-conspirator, Mary Woodard Lasker, was a member.

This is not a little snivelly little issue of "freedom versus public health,"or "it's bad for business." This is about a rotten-to-the-core international cabal of lying, cheating, stealing, corrupting, CIA-connected VERMIN, whose media whores systematically deceive the public so their politician henchmen can stick it to us without protest!

The loathsome slime gloated that an opinion poll supposedly showing that 70% of the public supports them! EXCEPT THAT EVERY SINGLE MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC HAS BEEN SYSTEMATICALLY LIED TO — OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN! This is how the vermins' phony "democracy" really works! It's a complete fraud, and they have no more legitimacy those tinhorn dictatorships they set up through the CIA. The "Rule of Law," is that what those vermin pretend they represent!? Under a Rule of Law, agreements made by means of fraud are NULL AND VOID - and that is how we should treat their anti-smoking laws!

"'Today's vote is a landmark victory for the public health of this country, which will save the lives of many people across the U.K.,' said Peter Hollins, director general of the British Heart Foundation, a health charity backing the ban." (U.K. Lawmakers Vote to Extend Smoking Ban to All Pubs (Update3). Bloomberg, Feb. 14, 2006.) And who holds these slimy maggots accountable for their decades of suppression of research on infection, so they could falsely blame smoking for heart disease and other illnesses? NOBODY. Who holds the smarm-spouting pond scum accountable when the death rates from asthma and preterm births keep rising and rising? NOBODY. Who holds them accountable for the people who died of ulcers and stomach cancer, while these quacks peddled their worthless "lifestyle" hokum? NOBODY. Who holds them accountable to not use defective studies to falsely blame smoking for liver cancer? NOBODY. Who holds them accountable for fraudulent bookkeeping in their phony "smoking cost" studies? NOBODY. It proves that we are victims of a corrupt, fascist conspiracy to shove their anti-rational RELIGIOUS beliefs down our throats - UNDER FALSE COLOR OF SCIENCE.

"We're keeping our fingers crossed that Monday will be one of those brutal and bruising Chicago winter days, with a wallop of arctic cold and a blustery snowstorm for good measure. All in the interest of shock therapy. Monday is the first day of Chicago's historic indoor smoking ban. That means smokers who holed up in a lot of public places, from condo lobbies to offices, will be forced out into the cold if they want to light up.Maybe, if the weather is really miserable, they'll think twice and try quitting instead. One of the saddest sights on a city sidewalk these days is the smokers. You see these shivering souls everywhere, huddling on the sidewalks in front of office towers, banks and amazingly, hospitals, resolutely puffing away. It's a testament to the addictive power of the habit. Many smokers--by some estimates as many as 7 in 10--want to quit. They've tried again and again. But it usually takes five to seven attempts, on average, for a smoker to uit, according to the American Lung Association. Many never make it. We hope that the new law will encourage people to try again to kick the habit. It is lethal, and it takes a huge toll not just on smokers, but their families and society.Smoking bans have swept this country. Many cities, including Minneapolis; Detroit; Corpus Christi, Texas; Birmingham, Ala.; Louisville; and Indianapolis, passed or enacted some sort of smoking ban last year, according to Americans for Nonsmokers' Rights. Those bans, and huge increases in the cigarette prices, have helped many discover the willpower to quit." (Editorial. A good day to quit smoking. The Chicago Tribune, Jan. 16, 2006.) No, you lying vermin - quitting smoking is kissing the media's ass! DEATH TO THE MEDIA!

All of those laws were passed by means of lies, deceit, fraud, corruption, and conspiracy! And the subhuman filth expect us to flop on our bellies and lick their bloodsucker boots, and accept lies as truth, and crime as normalcy! Whoever exterminates the most of these vermin is humanity's greatest benefactor!

And don't forget their willing accomplices, either: THOSE WORTHLESS EUNUCHS and their TRAITOR LEADERS, WHO WHINE ABOUT THEIR BUSINESSES, BUT REFUSE TO EXPOSE THE BLOODSUCKERS' SCIENTIFIC FRAUD AND CALL THEM ON THEIR CORRUPTION!

THE D.O.J.'S NAZI SHOWTRIAL

FACT: The U.S. "Department of Justice" cannot describe a single act of scientific fraud by the tobacco companies. Their specious case consists of pretending that any disagreement with anti-smoking dogma is automatically an act of fraud.

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.

FACT: The ANTI-SMOKERS control BOTH SIDES, and this whole series of phony showtrials is nothing but a pretext for the anti-smoker racketeers to loot, plunder and persecute smokers.

Words from the US Department of Justice lawsuit which ought to be used verbatim or adapted for a RICO lawsuit against the Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation, the American Cancer Society, the American Heart Association, the American Lung Association, the American Public Health Association, et al.

The goal of smokers' rights is prosecution of the anti-smokers' crimes. On this website is the investigation that the corrupt US Department of Justice should have done LONG AGO.

WE consider a civilized society to be one in which science is revered, not twisted and perverted and crassly used as a cynical tool of totalitarian political manipulation. To the anti-smoker filth who oppress us, a "civilized society" is one where "scientists" are nothing but whores, who service them by sanctifying their lies and fraud and defamations, so they can gloat in triumph over a nation of despicable, brainless, spineless little eunuchs who let them get away with it. Anti-smoker whining about a whiff of cigarette smoke gets front-page attention, year after year, while exposure of scientific fraud is ruthlessly suppressed. Our dictators deploy their Mighty Wurtlitzer of propaganda to teach us lowly little peasants that our right not to have them steal our money is a less-than-insignificant trifle, compared to their righteous moral indignation over the outrage of seeing a cigarette butt on the ground. Where the pettiest, vilest, most subhuman form of lice are tenderly nurtured, encouraged, and rewarded with wealth and power!

Senate Bill 150: The Gigantic Fraud Behind the Proposed Statewide Smoking Ban!

Anti-Smoker Filth Pretend That ETS Is A Weapon of Mass Destruction

In their latest vomit of lies and deceit, the bloodsucking filth pretend that children whose parents smoked have 3.63 times the risk of lung cancer. Even the EPA ETS report did not find any such thing. The difference is that these latter lie-spewing subhumans have included active smokers among their subjects, while the EPA did not; they are deliberately using confounding by active smoking, and purposely concealing this fact from the public. Their claim is doubly irrational and dishonest because it flies contrary to the vermins' own claim that former longterm smokers' risks fall to the level of non-smokers after ten years. And, on the subject of cold-blooded fraud and deceit, the bloodsucking filth have now been ignoring the evidence that infection is the cause for seventy years. Their bloodsuckers' attitude toward this kind of research is: 'We only want to prove that smoking causes lung cancer. So we will purposely ignore infection because it doesn't serve our political agenda. We don't want to find the true causes. We only want to self-righteously bash the victim, while we just stand there and watch them die!' (Parents Smoking Can Kill Children Years Later. By Ed Edelson. Health Day News, Jan. 28, 2005; Evidence is unfavourable for passive smoking. BMJ 2005 Feb. 5;330(7486):0. With links to the bloodsucker fraud studies.)

Infectious agents have long been PROVEN to cause cancer, so ALL studies that ignore infection are INHERENTLY defective. For seven decades, the health fascist filth have committed this fraud with impunity, using their political power to stifle legitimate criticism. This STONEWALL of the issue of CONFOUNDING BY INFECTION is PRIMA FACIE PROOF OF THEIR CRIMINAL INTENT TO COMMIT FRAUD. In fact, there have never been any genuinely scientific studies on ETS - NONE WHATSOEVER - because of the conscious, wilfull, deliberate, and systematic conspiracy of the LASKER LOBBY that controls our health establishment; and whose mere existence, like a sinister clause from the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, WE ARE FORBIDDEN TO DISCUSS.

Horace Greeley and Boss Tweed Invented Anti-Smoker Racketeering-By-Lawsuit in 1871

There is a central conspiracy for global tyranny, at least as old as the Albany Regency, in which Wall Street military aggression and health fascism walk hand-in-hand. If it hadn't been for funding from Wall Street, Adolph Hitler would never have risen to power. But the Hitler regime (and the Cold War) were just ruses to distract the American people from the Nazis' real goal: TAKEOVER OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! The Lasker Syndicate conspirators who have controlled our health establishment for six decades are the perpetrators of this scheme, scientific fraud is their means, and Anti-Smoker Amerika is the real National Socialist Reich of their dreams!

And all their "heroes" are nothing but relics from Philip Morris.

Big Drivel: Joseph L. Bast, Michael DeBow, Michael Fumento, Pierre Lemieux, Robert Levy, Jacob Sullum, and W.

The Hollywood Vermin

The bloodsucking leeches purposely spread a Big Lie that smokers are an economic burden to society to lay the foundation for their state and federal lawsuits.

The American Health Foundation

The US Government's Lasker-controlled National Cancer Institute snookered the tobacco companies into supporting its so-called "Safer Cigarette" research, which was virtually monopolized by the American Health Foundation. It was really just a pretext for more propaganda about alleged tobacco carcinogens. Then, the anti-smoking vermin sued the tobacco companies for supposedly lying that low-tar cigarettes are safer - AND SMOKERS HAVE TO PAY FOR IT.

The State Tobacco Lawsuits

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.

Philip Morris was (and is) controlled by the anti-smokers - and they control the others, too.

The 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.")

The Fast Food Lawsuits

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.

Just like the tobacco industry, the automotive industry funds its enemies' scientific fraud. They profess to be against over-regulation - then they meekly fork over their money to their own worst enemies, and bend over and grab their ankles.

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!

The 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.

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!

Infection, not tobacco, is the leading preventable cause of death everywhere.

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.)

The EPA's ETS Lies

The 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.

Although that had happened by 1986, 'They didn't start treating H. pylori for another nine years,' Marshall says, still amazed by it all.

Are all diseases infectious? Another look. B Lorber. Annals of Internal Medicine 1999 Dec 21;131(12):989-990. "Three years ago, I pointed out that a quiet revolution was taking place in our understanding of disease. Emerging evidence suggested that transmissible agents caused or contributed to many illnesses that were previously thought to be degenerative, inflammatory, or neoplastic in origin, and I lamented the lack of attention to this important new model for disease, During the past three years, more illnesses have been linked to infections, and evolutionary biologists as well as the popular media are paying attention." The term "paradigm shift" is not too strong to describe this new way of thinking about disease etiology.

In this discussion between Paul Ewald and leading researchers, it has been discovered that antibiotic treatment of ulcers began as early as 1940, and they puzzle over how this knowledge came to be lost. But at the root of it all will be found the Lasker Syndicate takeover of the health establishment, and their control of government money to serve their ideological ends.

=> NEW: '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."

Published Feb. 6, 2008 in NEJM.) "Currently, 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."

NHLBI Director Claude Lenfant's budget request to the Senate Appropriations Committee Subcommittee on Labor-HHS-Education, April 8, 2003. Lenfant fails to admit that infection causes heart disease.

"In this study, the presence of increased CRP was associated with less total and LDL cholesterol reduction and a greater increase in triglycerides from a reduced-fat/low cholesterol diet." In other words, there was less potential benefit among those at greatest risk.

"In addition to cancer of the cervix, a major proportion of anal, perianal, vulvar, and penile cancers appear to be linked to the same HPV infections. In addition, close to 20% of oropharyngeal cancers contain DNA from the same types of HPV. Recent evidence also points to a possible role of other HPV infections in squamous cell carcinomas of the skin."

Investigation of adenovirus occurrence in pediatric tumor entities. K Kosulin, C Haberler, J Hainfellner, G Amann, S Lang, T Lion. 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."

Identification of a novel polyomavirus from patients with acute respiratory tract infections. AM Gaynor, MD Nissen, DM Whiley, IM Mackay, SB Lambert, G Wu, DC Brennan, GA Storch, TP Sloots, D Wan. PLoS Pathogens, epub May 4, 2007. The virus was found in 43 / 2,135 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."

Identification of a third human polyomavirus. T Allander, K Andreasson, S Gupta, A Bjerkner, G Bogdanovic, MA Persson, T Dalianis, T Ramqvist, B Andersson. J Virol 2007 Apr;81(8):4130-4136. " The virus was found by PCR in 6 (1%) of 637 nasopharyngeal aspirates and in 1 (0.5%) of 192 fecal samples but was not detected in sets of urine and blood samples. Since polyomaviruses have oncogenic potential and may produce severe disease in immunosuppressed individuals, continued searching for the virus in different medical contexts is important." "There are putative binding sites for p53, as well as the Rb family of tumor suppressor proteins, in the LT antigen of KIPyV, which indicates that a role for this virus in tumorigenesis cannot be excluded."
