True Lies

From Fausty’s libertarian Blog:

One
basic
truth can
be used as
a foundation for
a mountain of lies,
and if we dig down deep
enough in the mountain of lies,
and bring out that truth, to set it
on top of the mountain of lies; the entire
mountain of lies will crumble under the weight of
that one truth, and there is nothing more devastating to a
structure of lies than the revelation of the truth upon which
the structure of lies was built, because the shock waves of
the revelation of the truth reverberate, and continue to
reverberate throughout the Earth for generations to
follow, awakening even those
people who had no
desire to be
awakened
to the
truth.

And there is this from our fellow freedom fighters over the pond, (You can see the below in full if you go here.)

Action	Antismoking Extremists Say	Folks say	The Cold Sharp Slap Of Reality
A Stranger Comes To Town	We are here to help, you can't avoid a ban because EVERYONE for the good of the children. is doing it,	We can decide what we want on our own properties, we can hang signs and let the public decide where to spend their money.	Antismoking Extremists think you are too stupid to know Big Pharmaceutical their lies because they said so. supports them, and they count on the fact that you will believe
Battle Lines Being Drawn	We are not including the casinos and private clubs, so don't worry, you don't have to fight us. If anything, the ban will give you more business.	Nothing is said because there is nothing to worry about. You are still believing every little thing your new friends say.	As soon as the ban is passed, they will go after the casinos and private clubs. This divide and conquer technique works all the time. The Antis may demand the change themselves, or they will use mis-guided private business owners to do it for them under the guise that there is no "level playing field" which ends with no exemptions at all. You just got conned Bubba, they played you like a cheap fiddle!
Smoke Screen	Let's include smokeless tobacco products in the ban. We don't want those horrid people to have anything. Let them buy Big Pharm stuff to quit smoking! In fact, let's tell them that "Cold Turkey" doesn't work so we can get every dime we can out of them and make our nicotine delivery products the only legal ones.	Nothing is said. You are too worried about the ban to notice the fact that anything about smoke shouldn't include smokeless products.	You let the next step of the Anti plan slide by. Shame on you. THE ANTI-TOBACCO RECIPE FOR SUCCESS 1. Choose an industry. 2. Regulate the industry. 3. Tax the industry. 4. Sue the industry. When one source of money dries up, return to Step 1 and repeat. By S. Phillipe
Ban Is Passed	Gloat, gloat, giggle, strut. Now we can get away with anything. Cue up the next deep pocket!	WHAT?! That's not right, that's not what I voted for. This isn't what I thought they meant, what do you mean I can't smoke in my own one person office?!!!	This is when the Newsletter picks up new readers. Lots of them. They are very unhappy people who have to work thru the rage, depression, and finally agree that they got bamboozled by highly paid strangers with a packet full of junk science that it would have been politically incorrect for mere sheeple to take a close look at. Antis won't stop at a town, they will go for the state. Don't let them get a foot in your door.
Patio Issue	Now we need to make more changes to the ban and tighten up the loopholes. Let's start with no smoking outside as well.	I should have the right to allow my customers to smoke on my new patio if I want. I spent a lot of money building it because you said I could!	You opened the flood gates. You can close them, or watch your business get washed away. Overturn the whole ban, or watch more and more bans come in until grandpa's business is closed. First it's inside, then it's outside seating areas, then it's on the sidewalk.
Noise Issue	It's time to get rid of all the bars, or, ban all smoking on the sidewalk, for the good of the children.	You have got to be kidding me! Where did you think my customers would go to smoke when you banned smoking inside?	The Antis have you so far under their control now that you will waste your time and money in a fight about the noise issue, which you could solve easily by getting rid of the ban and letting people drink and smoke inside like they should be.
Litter Issue	We need to ban smoking on beaches, in parks, everywhere those nasty smokers are littering.	Enforce the litter laws that already exist. We don't need a separate one for cigarettes, one for diapers, another for soda cans, etc...	The Antis are not interested in enforcing perfectly good existing laws. They are only interested in getting new laws put in to justify their incomes and paychecks.
Economy Issue	Just like we said, now the non-smokers will come to your place of business and you'll do better than ever.	Where are the non-smokers? My business is going under!	Do I really have to say this? You bought into the Anti lies. So did the good folks on the Ban Loss and Ban Damage pages, and others.
Car Issue	We have to stop those stinky smokers from smoking in their cars, for the good of the children. It doesn't matter if it's a convertible car and it is moving at 55 MPH. We can say, "Only 20 seconds of smoke exposure will kill them instantly." No one dares argue with us or we'll say they are a front for the tobacco company. No one is allowed to question us!	Hey, wait a minute, I don't have any kids! Even if I did, that would be up to me what I want in my own car, not you.	Remember, every new ban the Antis get on the books justifies their paycheck from Big Pharma in helping to make their nicotine delivery system the only one politically correct, or legally available.
Home Issue	We've done the inside, outside, car, work and more... now you are not a good citizen if you don't agree to home bans! It doesn't matter if you own, or rent, or have a room in a nursing home, we will get our way. This is long past "safety" based on junk science, and all about MONEY.	This is my home, you can't do this.	Derr... what do you think I'm going to say next? Get rid of the ban! Stop it all. Don't let the Antis take your eye off the big picture by getting you stuck up to the neck in the muck of the little battles. Get rid of the whole Anti movement and the entire ban. Tell them you are still a free citizen and capable of making your own decisions about any and all legal products!
Tax Issue	We need more money. We are making less from the MSA now because less tobacco is being sold. Some states want to cut our funding, there has to be someone to tell the sheeple what to do! You are politically incorrect if you don't do as we tell you! Raise the taxes to continue our good work!	The few of us smokers in town are already paying for the roads that everyone gets to drive on. This isn't fair. Every citizen should pay equal taxes!	So do something about it. Highly paid people quit when they are not being paid. Cut off ALL funding to the Antis at your local and state level. Do not donate money to groups that fund Antis. Make Big Pharma support them alone so when the Antis realize there is money to be made off Big Pharma in court, it'll be too late, and they will eat their own masters.
Other Issues	Insert the insane claim and demand from the Antismoking Extremists of your choice here.	You can't do that.	So how's that approach there working out for you?

Tell your town, city, county, state, or country that you are sick of this. You fell for it, but don't need to continue to fall for it. For the sake of the children, protect the freedom to use your own good sense where any and all legal products are concerned and keep the world free from overpaid petty tyrants. What kind of world do you want to leave your children? Read the Newsletter, send it to friends, and open the eyes of everyone. No matter what you like, if it's tobacco, booze, scents, food, etc... your freedom of choice is in danger. Do not let your legacy for future generations be that of a slave society filled with sheeple afraid to stand for anything, and falling for everything.
