First They Came For The Smokers...

Most people believe that the current crusade against tobacco use is rooted in morality and health concerns. And, most people are wrong. The current anti-tobacco mentality has little or nothing to do with issues of either morality or public health. The current anti-tobacco crusade owes its fervor to a resurgence in popularity of a fascist ideology, and more specifically to the spread of a philosophy of ideological materialism.

The current anti-tobacco crusade is nothing new. Russia used to whip smokers, in Turkey they were beheaded and in India they had their noses slit. Two anti-tobacco crusades, similar to today's, took place twice within the 20th century. Both, and probably non-coincidentally, directly preceding world wars. The first, in the U.S., directly preceded World War One. The second, conducted by the Nazis, directly preceded, and was concurrent with World War Two. This was likely no coincidence. The root cause in both cases of each particular anti-tobacco crusade was a sharp rise in ideological materialism among the population; an ideology which creates great tension among people. The mentality which fosters a militant anti-smoking movement, is the very same mentality which gives rise to eugenics movements, discriminatory and unjust prohibition laws of all kinds, campaigns of thought control, discriminatory social engineering practices, and outright legislated behavior modification.

The public smoking ban in Ottawa is pure fascism, plain and simple. If you support it, you are supporting a fascist ideal. It forces the individual to discard personal freedoms in order to conform to what a minority group in a position of influence wishes to impose on the collective. This is the very foundation of fascist doctrine!

My grandparent's generation volunteered their very lives to fight fascism and eradicate it from our planet. They did this for themselves, but they also did this selflessly for the generations to follow. And, now, when fascism once again rears its ugly head, right here in our time, in our community, many of us embrace it with open arms, and seem to feel not even the slightest pang of shame. We have an obligation to continue the fight that they so bravely began. Whether you are a smoker or a non-smoker, for purely selfish reasons, you must fight fascism at every turn! You must fight against fascist anti-smoking legislation. Remember: 'First they came for the smokers....' Trust me - once fascism gains a foothold, it doesn't stop until someone stops it. If you let this go, eventually they WILL come for the particular freedom or freedoms that you enjoy.

Remember these important points:

1) Anti-smoking legislation is NOT needed in a free society, it is ONLY needed in an authoritarian society. In a free society it only serves as an economic burden, put in place to appease the whims of a few who hold positions of influence. In a free society demand always dictates supply. Therefore, if there was a demand for smoke-free establishments, there would be a supply of them. (As there was in Ottawa before the anti-smoking legislation was passed) And, the supply, in terms of a ratio of smoking to non-smoking establishments would be reflected by the amount of demand for each. The smoking ban is only in place because there is currently not enough of a demand by the people for smoke-free establishments to appease the minority who want more of them. The will of a few, in positions of influence, is being forced on the many. (Fascism, plain and simple)

2) The anti-smoking crusade IS NOT a public health issue. Very, very, few people support anti-smoking legislation because they are actually concerned about their, or anyone else's health. No matter what they say. They support the legislation because they see public smoking as an annoyance, or an inconvenience. And, these people are perfectly willing to legally force someone else to modify their behavior and strip personal freedoms away from others in order to rid themselves of something which annoys them. If you don't believe me, find the most militant anti-smoker you can and follow him or her around for a few days. Take note of how concerned for their own health they actually are by observing what kinds of self-destructive behavior they engage in. See how many fast-food burgers they eat, how many sodas they consume, how many miles they drive their car with blue smoke pouring out of their exhaust pipes, how long they sit in front of their T. V. being doused in electro-magnetic radiation, or talking on their cell phones, beaming radiation directly into their skulls, etc. If they are so sure that they are fighting the good fight in the name of public health, we'll see how loudly they clap when someone comes to take their cars away, or strips them of some other freedom they enjoy in the name of public health.

You can start the fight right now by downloading the copyright-free images below. Print them on your computer printer or put them on disk and take them to a printer. Any way you can, make copies of the images and distribute them freely, anywhere you can. Post them around town - on billboards and public posting boards. Plaster the city with them! Do your part! Wake people up! Let them know what this is REALLY about! Fascism's greatest allies are ignorance and fear.

NEVER BE SILENT!
MAKE YOUR OPINIONS KNOWN, AND DO NOT FEAR RETRIBUTION FOR SPEAKING YOUR MIND! THE ONLY ONES WHO WILL AGGRESSIVLEY TRY TO SILENCE YOU ARE THE ONES WHO DO NOT RESPECT THE LIBERTIES AND RIGHTS OF THE INDIVIDUAL! THOSE PEOPLE DESERVE OUR CONTEMPT, AND WHEN YOU DRAW THEM OUT OF THE SHADOWS BY EXERCISING YOUR CIVIL RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH, THEY WILL EXPOSE THEMSELVES FOR WHAT THEY TRULY ARE!

So, do you STILL think that the current anti-tobacco movement has nothing to do with a rise in a neo-puritanical & quasi-fascist mentality?

Then, take a look at the image below. See this man, being restrained by police and attacked by a police dog? Do you know what his crime was?

He owned a small tobacco shop on an Indian reservation that was staffed and operated entirely by Native Americans and which sold their products, on the reservation, to other Native Americans. The shop in question, for two days prior to this picture being taken, had been selling tobacco products which were illegally imported from out of state.

And, here's a photo of the man's wife, taken on the same day:

In a scene straight out of the 1920's prohibition era, the jack-booted thugs of the Rhode Island State Police arrested 8 residents of the Narragansett Reservation, took $900.00 in cash from the tobacco shop's registers and confiscated all of the store's tobacco stock. The Rhode Island State police admitted that one person was injured in what onlookers described as a "violent" raid, but the Narragansett tribal council claims that between 8 to 10 people complained of injuries; with some being taken to hospital.

It is utterly amazing that a scene like this can take place in 2003, over cigarettes. And, it will just get worse from here if this cancerous puritanical/fascist ideology is left to fester in our society. It's time to do something about this NOW!

***Update:*** Some moronic, imbecile named "kzsteele", lacking the brains he/she/it was born with recently wrote:

"derek audette[sic] would have everyone believe that everything you see is happening because of tobacco. however,[sic] a quick bit of research reveals this page http://www.indianz.com/News/2005/010011.asp there[sic] you find out that the owner was resisting arrest and extra force was required to subdue him. arrested[sic] for what, you ask? not reporting taxes."

So, everything I see wasn't because of tobacco?!?!? Well, then please tell me: WHAT IN THE HELL DO YOU THINK IT WAS THAT HE FAILED TO REPORT TAXES ON? You blithering idiot! It was TOBACCO, you GOOF!!!

Listen, you moron! The Narragansett tribe is a federally recognized one. Under the sovereign status of the tribe afforded by their federal recognition, state law enforcement are not allowed on tribal land without a warrant signed by a FEDERAL judge. State laws can not be upheld on tribal land except by authorization of congress. OF COURSE HE WAS RESISTING ARREST, YOU TINY-BRAINED, MUNG HEADED TOAD! The R.I. governor ILLEGALLY ordered troops onto the res. The arrests they made were ILLEGAL. THEY WERE ILLEGALLY TRESPASSING on private, sovereign land and ATTEMPTING TO FORCEFULLY, FRIKKEN' KIDNAP PEOPLE! The 2nd circuit court of appeals has ruled in favor of the tribe in this respect!

Here's a quick & dirty law-course for you "kzsteele": If someone illegally breaks into your house and attempts to restrain and kidnap you, YOU'RE ALLOWED TO FRIKKEN' RESIST THEM, you tool! Tell ya what, you go and try to kidnap someone, then tell the judge that you had to beat them because they were resisting your attempted kidnapping. See if the judge lets you go.

Damn, "kzsteele"! What's it like to be stupid? You no-name, nobody, neo-con reprobate! Now... go get your FU**ING SHINE BOX!
