Next Fourth of July, just hang a black flag.
Lady Liberty is dead.
We have killed her.
Please report to the nearest OWNS-U center for RealID application and DNA screening. Thank you.

According to antismoking science, hurricane force winds are required to dispel any wisp of tobacco smoke in the air. I didn’t see it, but a hurricane must have blown through wispofsmoke because it is now completely dissipated.

This was never merely about tobacco smoke. This was about how people treat each other, the right of property owners to decide what legal activity they allow on their own property, the health freedoms of individuals, the integrity of science and so much more. Now, those things are indeed up in smoke.

Youngsters are actively taught to behave badly to their elders, and that has now spread to treatment of all adults not only people who smoke. Young adults are incapable of recognizing that the public doesn’t own “Joe’s Pizza” or any other privately owned venue, but that “public place” is a publicly owned place such as public libraries, courthouses and politicians offices. Science has been far more corrupted by antismokers and pharmaceutical companies in general than “Big Tobacco” could have ever done. And the bodies of individuals are now owned by the State, swiftly approaching the One World Nanny State Union (OWNS-U), and that ownership is soon to be officially recognized by national healthcare.

A friend in Italy once told me that freedom was a very new concept in humanity. The history of humanity has been full of tyrants, despots, dictators, slaves, indentured servants, feudal systems and such. Relatively recently, a shining concept of the rights of the common man was put forward in such historic documents as the Magna Carta and the Constitution of the United States of America. My friend posited that this concept was dying, and freedom would be nothing more than a brief experiment in human history.

Everything. Up in smoke and washed away by mythical hurricane force winds and nonquantitstive statistics, aka junk science. All because people were conned into believing that the worst thing in the world was something that is 97% water vapor.


WebMistress: I would admit to creating the OWNS-U, One World Nanny State Union, acronym but, alas, creativity is probably grounds for being tagged as a "terroist suspect". So....I thunk it up all by myself...but let's not let that become too well-known. 'kay?


How the Experiment in Freedom Ends with a Whimper
Even in Tobacco Country, legislators have passed a smoking ban to be effective in 2010. Yes, the impact to the economy will be harsh, but that will only lead to the pre-prepared solution of the North American Union will a “new” currency of the Amero, much like the EU’s Euro across the pond. In this instance the corruption of science prevailed. The bill, now signed by Governor Perdue, states at the very beginning:
§ 130A-491. Legislative findings and intent.
(a) Findings. – The General Assembly finds that secondhand smoke has been proven to cause cancer, heart disease, and asthma attacks in both smokers and nonsmokers. In 2006, a report issued by the United States Surgeon General stated that the scientific evidence indicates that there is no risk-free level of exposure to secondhand smoke.

Science has never proved that SHS causes any of those diseases. If nonsmokers have been getting cancer, heart disease, and asthma attacks for all these years, right along with smokers, then how could these diseases have ever been deemed “smokers’ diseases”? The very wording highlights the absurdity of antismoking science. Yet, a sweeping, damaging law is based in this so-called science?

Moreover, the 2006 Surgeon General’s Report did NOT say that there is no risk-free level of secondhand smoke. That was from his press release with the report, but the report could never prove any such thing. Not only have many people been highly critical of the report, the report itself admits to being an epidemiological (statistical) study but states on page 22, "The quantitative results of the meta-analyses, however, were not determinate in making causal inferences in this Surgeon General's report." A statistical study that does not rely on quantitative results. The obvious manipulations are well-known as is the shoddy antismoking science.

Meanwhile, as they collapse three niches of the free market (antismoking, smoking/nonsmoking choice, smoker friendly) into a single niche (antismoking), the same politicios declare that "studies show" no economic harm from smoking bans. Aside from being untrue, it is absurd.

To see a list of the NC lawmakers and how they voted on HB-2 to destroy the economy, health and freedom of North Carolinians, see The Guilty and the Heros.

The truth is that the upcoming ban in North Carolina was on the horizon for the last year. the airports suddenly became antismoking in a big way with "No Smoking" signs everywhere. It gives the airports the surreal we're-watching-you atmosphere like a late night thriller. The abdundance of advertisements for pharmaceutical drugs and treatments add to the feel of a horror flick. With the enforced heightened tensions of travel these days, it's just as well that people feel like they're in a movie when flying, yes?

Ah, but none of that matters now. The destruction of science, law and humanity is virtually complete. Smokers and nonsmokers who fought the antismoking cartel knew that they weren’t fighting for "the right to smoke," but they have been slandered as “tobacco shills” and “pro-smokers” all the same. What they called the “antismoking playbook” is now applied to drinkers (even moderate drinkers), the obese (even slightly overweight), pet owners and almost everyone else. And OWNS-U does not favor any country, it is global as seen in this letter from the Action on Smoking and Health (ASH). No outrage. Just a few mild, civilized tea parties in the US and other gatherings of that ilk.

Listen to Candidates in their own words! Now listen to Democrats--pretty spooky! They're effectively saying, "Either the states do what we want or we'll jump up and down making fools of ourselves to see who can be the biggest dictator to force them to do what we want!" And remember that the whole "health issue" is a SCAM! So, the announcer who attributes hundreds of thousands of deaths to tobacco--a number that is constantly changing--is either a complete fool or being paid to falsely skew the question. Listen to how much Huckabee wants to "condition people's behaviour".
A popular email forwarded in e-lists with the subject heading “Let Them do It!” contains a link to a video from Funbobbasso, whose Youtube channel is found at http://www.youtube.com/user/Funbobbasso . Bob Basso has done four videos and all are good and impassioned. He is very big on the tea parties, but he has much more to say than that. Glenn Beck interviewed him, and two copies of that interview are also listed below. All videos are about 6 minutes long, which is well over the attention span of most Americans.
