Is Democracy dying from within, or are we simply being sold out with so little left to take?
Advocacy of the people at a point of popularity has always been co-opted by industry advantaged funding to protect those industries. The founders of groups like Green peace and MADD will tell you absolutely they have been directed off the original course, in consideration primarily of their investor’s needs to the peril of us all. We began with the tiny snowballs of motorcycle helmets progressing to battered wives and seatbelt campaigns although beneficial to society the resolutions are not demonstrated as fine points in societal benefit. The impositions of financial punishments will always have more profound effects on some much more than others. We see today broad ranging initiatives growing in size and impositions. Who now can stop the magnitude and the velocity of those once tiny snowballs with inherently paternalist cores. Before we rush off to save the planet we should consider saving ourselves first, and the planet might just save itself as an earned benefit.
A scan of the airwaves focusing on what is the news of the day, reveals although the delivery may be found in totally separate media group organizations, the news is now found to originate with little variance from a common source. The same source with no warning now includes paid advocacy news releases boldly selling the wares of industry, presented in ad agency fashioned infomercials in highly deceptive packages. The recent Don Imas flogging for making inappropriate racist comments on his radio show, should demonstrate a failing of society in its reaction to a single person’s mistake. The one mindedness of society with no room for alternate opinions is a sign of an oppression, so subtle and firmly entrenched no one who sees it, will admit it actually exists. A media guided human nature of shamed internal balance, which has moralized the loss of many of our freedoms, not, the least of which is a right to keep what you have earned. Realities that will negate the views of individual thought and deal out personalize attacks, against any dissenting voices. We have lost the right to speak our thoughts, much more the right to think as individuals and grow as a culture. One mindedness negates the possibility of ingenuity and protection of the status quo. There are advantages to being born into a small advantaged group. That group will always seek ways of protecting its own while feasting off the efforts of the rest of us who are trained as consumers from birth to seek only the perfect beer commercial existence. An existence moving farther away from the majority of us with every new lobby promoted legislation.
One of the founding principles of democracy; is a government “of the people and for the people”. Now the majorities of people are told they should be perpetually ashamed of their own culture and they should hold the blame for all which is wrong in the world, in spite of the reality they have very little power to change those deficiencies or actually had little involvement in creating them to start with. By the power of guilting the white middle class, a perception is born; they will be the group to be ashamed and obliged to offer penance for their crimes. Just as other groups will always be made to feel inferior and jealous as the two sides are pitted against each other deliberately. The paternalist mediator inciting the conflict, is given power over both sides This is described in the Delphi control principle utilized by Adolph Hitler himself in climbing to power in 100 days Utilizing the harsh impositions of the treaty of Versailles and a tremendously devalued currency in a depression economy. He found a target middle class oppressor and many oppressed groups to champion. Later in boasting about his fine Aryan race he supplanted racial minorities as the peril to be blamed. By mediation he found political consensus in taking what each side would accept placing impositions on both in process. A persistence strategy, Delphi eventually finds a publicly accepted, oppressive state in the power of negotiation. A power principle so effective it changed a society of good and moral German people many not knowing to this day how it happened. A society who in short order accepted the horrors of the death camps, as a promoted societal necessity. Imposed in support of a personal obligation to the state; to create the perfect human condition. These principles were formed in competitive national pride. Competing with best baby contests in North America and Europe promoted by Eugenicists who sought to protect the human genome from racial degradation. Almost 100 years ago we all bought into the paternalisms, which afforded castrations of Jews and imbeciles Blacks to the back of the bus and forced lobotomies to anyone who did not measure up to the expectations of perfect communities, all by an obligation to protect our children. After the war these paternalist groups did not simply vanish they went into hiding and continued political pursuits. They survive today evolved into civil rights groups promoting abortion and civil society which eventually absorbed the Liberal left. We hear the term Neo-Con and equate it to something evil, when in reality it’s members are primarily disenchanted Liberals who came to the realization it’s current ultra left form can not be sustained without a total destruction of our culture and it’s economy which are consistent with current strategy goals.
In Canada Sheila Copps as a heritage minister exemplified an oxymoron incarnate, she supported vigorously the ideology of Trudeau-mania raising his memory to a place much greater than the man, who once turned the Canadian army against it’s own population and expressed his admiration for Canadian culture with a single finger. The words Multi-cultural heritage placed in our constitution was a cancer in how it evolved in perception. The term denies us a right to a formed and identifiable culture of our own, in favor of representing the cultures of everyone else. Sheila worked diligently making the white middle class feel perpetually ashamed of themselves for simply stating I am Canadian now effectively reduced to a racist rant, denouncing the pride which no longer exists in the politically corrected world of those paternalist small “L” news announcers, who always know better. Although at the time, it was generally believed the term spoke to a single culture formed of many, in recent times it has evolved to a meaning, much closer to the pontification of racist division The glorification of formed racial ghettos of Canada’s major cities are proof this divisiveness principle will be sustained. A culture once of Canadian identity now is divided upon itself. Generally four geographic political divisions exist in Canada media support of this self-perpetuation, is evident in the product and its distinct flavors as you move between the defined regions. How little most in Ontario know of the names Maurice Strong or the Demaris family and how these two are rarely out of the news out west, The Liberal loving east coast is still convinced the fisheries died because of mismanagement by Conservatives in a shoot the messenger kind of way. In Ontario once a stronghold for the Conservative voice we are becoming victims of unrestricted media group buyouts and the oneness of a small L media voice. A media ignoring the expansion of small L politics in the classroom and the importing of socialist friendly votes strategically placed to influence the largest electoral power. Taking advantage of cultural minorities promised a land of rice and honey, many of who spent their all, to arrive on our shores. They are being limited in their ability to apply their training and being forced to be co-opted as the working poor. Or indefinitely held as unwilling guests of the societal safety net. Imprisoned in the welfare state to promote political dominance, in spite of their needs, which are largely ignored. A racial divide and a group to be championed, are the politically advantaged after effects. Paul Martin as Prime Minister once said, “I would never support the majority to the exclusion of the minority”, which begs the question, what if the majority is right?
It should be understood the media more often than not when reviewing the actions of an Imus or a Kramer, would seek out the voice of those who were abused.. Rarely is the focus on the direct target but found in the words of racial spokespersons such as Jessie Jackson or the Reverend Al Sharpton Neither of whom it appears understood the words of Martin Luther King, what was his dream? Few actually listened apparently. Both leaders will hold his example high while self-promoting their racist and divisive ideologies. Neither has come to the realization if you want to eliminate racism you have to stop acting as a racist. When faced with impositions of others, education of that individual in mediation and finding common ground would promote a racial peace, established by example. In every situation destroying that individual is the prescribed medicine. Promoting a “them and us” division, will always prevail is a promotion of racism.
On the international front; the Chinese example is now of reaching out to other countries to sell a kind and gentle image. A similar strategy is now seen in similar actions by Libya a once villain on the international stage is now seen in many African countries as a friend who builds roads and schools Kadafy is in the news handing out T-shirts to the poor, while anti-America sentiment is growing internationally. The reality this produces is an ideology shift away from democracies and freedom eliminating the rights of individuals, gyrating toward the collectivist ideals found only in oppression and obligations to the state.
I fear in our cultural taboo in discussing the horrors of the last century, we have failed to teach the children what horrors are inspired in advocating for paternalism. A benevolent society seeks to continually improve its record of humility toward others. How can we forgive ourselves the impositions of paternalisms and teach our young with so little understanding of how we were damaged by the past, and how obviously to this day, the damage we imposed on others still remains.
Throughout democratic nations smoking bans are all the rage. Dealing hatred to those within our communities who smoke, gives us an acceptable dragon to hate. Fat people, those who drink and those who fail to obey every rule of the road. Processing finds many new allies, to make this paternalist utopia an imposed reality. All the while well-paid lobby advocates profit from the ever-present shame game.
Theoretic Science is being used flagrantly as a source of entertainment. The media brings us new shocking discovered realities by the hour, to justify the rule replacing the exception.. Risk becomes cause and cause demands action to protect the children. The result of theoretic calculation being elevated to a position above the realities of the observed and applied sciences becomes the new reality driving our political voice. Global warming and pandemics by the score are pushing us to honor the absolutes of terrorists selling the politics of fear. We have evolved as chaotic reactionaries who fear conventional Conservative values and honor the pressures of perpetual Liberal change. Democracy is about the respected and unrestricted debate of opposing views, not about political absolutes in dominance by bankroll. A current reality that finds voters in our opinion poll driven centrist struggle, asking; why vote, they are all the same? Decision makers are chastised and coerced in the media for supporting the will of the people. Demonized for denying the new science, despite how poor the quality of that science may be. A world of lobby designed Delphi control strategies are adhered to with no scrutiny of who will benefit from their institution. Yes our media groups have become entirely efficient utilizing their new tools. No one seems upset in the formation of coercive HIA Health interventions, A Burgeoning health-scare reform movement and sustainable development to keep what is done firmly in place. This inspired a large-scale growth and legitimizing of self-serving lobbies or stakeholders rallying behind Health Canada’s social marketing ploys. Telling us what we should think while ignoring what we actually do. Charity foundations selling promises of researched cures now use donations to purchase politics at levels well beyond any pursuit of the stated intent. Politicians are powerless and the public trough is open to plunder. This affords new wealth and prominence to all who play along. The sad reality is found in examining the fall of all great civilizations; on average after 200 years the decay begins when the public understands they can take from the public purse. An ability to do just that is growing by the hour. As taxes and the cost of consumer goods skyrocket to offset lobbied public expenditures and punishment without due process in taxation demands. As we continue down the paternalist road to a perfect race free of disease and mortality, it will soon make no sense to work with nothing to gain. We have to wonder if by the year 2020 as decried by the World Health Organization on a number of lobby fronts, death and misery will almost certainly prevail; if that damage will originate of pandemics or carbon gasses or as a result of expenses imposed by their kind and gentle paternalisms, protecting us from ourselves while promoting our Delphi apportioned fears.
For 50 years I have seen advertised pleadings, telling me how inexpensive it would be to feed and clothe the starving in the third world. The problem has never been an unwillingness to share. The problem stems from an ability of the rich to steal the food from the mouths of the starving, in grand schemes and burgeoning bureaucracies. A failure of self-important UN delegates who take full personal advantage of a corrupted overblown nothingness we trust with the obligation to act. Bill Gates in an interview expressed his intent to take the largest foundation fund on the planet and devote it to the elimination of specific diseases profiting drug companies in efforts of insanity, repeating actions, which have been attempted before with little success. He acknowledges it will take government funding to subsidize what he will be able to do. It fails his judgment in realizing building communities affording the benefits we all take for granted in developed countries will eliminate most of the diseases before they start, with the increased standards of living they afford in a truly Global community. Gates will fight to his end to sustain the status quo, allowing the continued use of third world victims to grow the profits of industry on both sides of the fence, profiting by the unnecessary suffering of others who need more than talk. Similarly the front end financial loading of Kyoto strategies with reduction benefits to be seen in 400 years could be replaced by an investment of only 10% of the Kyoto required investment if directed to education resulting in an improved capacity of technology and research. The results would then be seen as beneficial likely leading to environmental improvements made possible within our lifetime.
Perhaps it is time for us all to take hold of our destiny as a majority. The inequalities of democracy; of the people and old money industries who prescribe taxation and racial imbalance to keep us in our place while stealing a standard of living we have not enjoyed in far too long. An administration, which grows power, entirely proportionate to the baiting our goodwill, to the exclusion of its victims both domestic and abroad. This can be done with a single courageous legislated act. We could find that equality by demanding governments in the developed world establish national charity foundations under the control of communities, who will decide the distributions to all the others. Nationalizing in the same act the stagnant trillions of dollars in existing community subsidized foundation holdings, which serve only themselves or their contributors. Taking away a charity foundations ability to apply charity in their own self-promotion, presents a true level playing field and eliminates significantly large scale corruption and excessive administration costs.. This will afford the large corporations who profit billions every year for the first time in one hundred years, an ability to actually contribute back to communities from which they grow those profits. By their own decision to either pay taxes honoring their own imposed rules, or to continue to seek tax benefits for charitable donations to a fund they no longer control. Philanthropy Contributions, which will actually benefit communities globally, in an application of the true meaning of charity. A definition, which negates the current politically coercive abilities. For the politician with the courage to present the bill which would no doubt be supported by all parties in a public vote. I would support the award of a Nobel peace prize for the effort. Such a demonstration of courage would richly deserve international recognition, for the hundreds of millions of people world wide it would eventually benefit. And for the power we would find in a rekindled democracy it would create one reformed in political integrity and legitimate respect.

Saturday, April 07, 2007
The largest misconception in the public view today would be Public Health organizations, Tobacco Control and Environmental Tobacco Smoke lobbying is something, which originated from the public. It is actually something, which was introduced to the public serving industrial profit above all else.
The Process of HIA developed long term [10 year] and short term [one year] goals developed an implementation period process testing and adjustment protocols and went to work. They assigned responsibilities to designates, assured all members would screen all public speak in order to not discredit their partners. Most important they analyzed the impediments and the subjects being treated ALL identified groups to be categorized and dealt with in process.
Some of the language we hear appears to be foolish and poorly conceived however every public statement has a target audience, “ some messages will resound more with one group than with others”.
“ Planting seeds is the secret to success when cultivating a societal garden.”
From the outset participants made the mistake of falling into a plan, which treats people like germs and smoking as a disease. The population view allowed this to be snuck past them, as they too, were being conned into a morally reprehensible process.
The organizers were well educated in developing a fool proof process the one set back as we learned in history there will always be a few Adolph Hitlers in the crowd who can grow power from the public acceptance of fear based decisions. This one demands body purity as an obligation to the State taking us back 100 years in time when Eugenics was being promoted at the expense of racial groups thought to be similar germs which needed treatment.
No one thought of preparing an exit strategy, and now with post prohibition peak effects, which were never planned for, having a reversal effect in cessation numbers the cure is now a poison, which makes it harder for smokers to quit due to the social upheaval.
No one can slow down the enthused hatred bandwagon because no one is in control any longer. A further flaw in the process; leadership is scattered and no one knows who to turn to for advice and adjustment of the process.
The next stage as other lobbies get on board with the follow the leader to riches effect, particularly seen in the Global warming and the anti fat campaigns; the campaign will now have to fall to competition of the stakeholders who will have no choice but to savage the reputation of each other to save the reputations of themselves.
No one realized there is only so much cash to go around before resistance of those paying for the perfect world start to have reservations.
If the plan had a longer implementation period it may well have succeeded. The rush to the finish has already doomed the strategy along with a lot of others based in theory and fear.
Who will see the damage of what was created along with the increased smoking rates already seen, in the scientists who took on the role of politicians and ignored the integrity of discovery and real applied science. Consensus science by any other name remains as always equivalent in every way to a cult belief system.
When is the last time a smoker was told if you quit smoking your life’s quality would be better. A current campaign defining no safe level dispels completely that message. Where now do smokers get the motivation to quit? Enhanced with messages equating smoking to an addiction more powerful than heroin or crack cocaine. Add in the messages smokers kill their neighbors, children and babies, or they are smoking as a result of being too weak to quit, the low life of society. These messages do not sound compliant with encouraging smokers to quit, they seem more in tune with encouraging them to avoid the pain and continue as they are, while building a negative stereotype in the public. What they get predominantly is advertising pushing them toward alternate addictive products, in places where smoking is not allowed.
What the general public is hearing is blatant false advertising equating risk to actual harm, or that Linear and non-linear associations can co-exist in the same cause and effect assessment. Advertisers making use of public and goodwill donated funds, are Utilizing a marketing strategy not normally allowed in many years, with discrimination and hatred as a theme.
We know sex sells, Hate is a much more powerful message. The advertisers find very few instances where the public will allow them to get away with it. The anti smoker message is clearly one of those cases.
Federal law normally prohibits the low life ad campaigns and if targeting any other identifiable group you can name, the advertising sponsor would not only be attacked in the media they would likely be charged with a criminal offense and sued.
The conditioning has worked well because no one in the public has objected to the kind of things product advertisers are teaching their kids. Those who support smoking bans talk about smokers hacking up a lung or on the loosing side of the debate, which never happened. A public who fail to realize Social marketing in the TC intervention is actually although ultimately targeting smokers with it’s hateful message is not conditioning smokers. It is the rest of the community, which is being conditioned.Public Health in the population view, that in cold clinical precision treats people as disease carrying germs. Non-smokers are undeniably the germs being treated with this poisonous medicine.Who are on the loosing side of the debate, which we never saw? If you support the exclusions of smokers in society you are living proof the treatment is working. Encouraging public health to keep up the human experimentation. Poison is now thought to be a cure, however inexplicably an acceptance of poison in community seems to be encouraging those same kids declared in need of protection in accusations of child abuse, to smoke more.
Society is once again being sold a bill of goods in one of the most successful Industry partnered ad campaigns to date. The beauty of this slick ad campaign is we all get to pick up the tab for the ad agency promotions in addition to paying for it’s effect.
Thun on behalf of the American Cancer Society and many others who agreed; by denying the credibility of the James E. Enstrom & Geoffrey C. Kabat research [extensive research findings, describing ETS as largely exaggerated or as a significant health risk,] Thun implied with the funding source perspective, we determine the outcome of theoretical studies. This is proof, if valid; the so-called studies are all simply a matter of selective opinion or political prose. The peer review process is also deemed as next to useless in finding flaws if that opinion is preordained. Further proof is found in the support of current opinions opposing the World Health Organization’s own identical research which was more in agreement with E&K than the many smaller studies primarily written by declared anti smoking advocates and financed by those purchasing the same opinions. Distributed opinions so evident in the public view do not find credibility with timeline applied science or of the larger theoretic studies which should guide the dominance opinion in that perspective. Compare the truth of those realities and the so obviously fear driven reality of current public opinions. A fear of burning leaves at less than fifty paces, with no fear of a mother while treating her children to concentrated diesel exhaust while sitting in a train or bus station?
When we see the effect of smoking ban promotions in the public, targeting the majority who do not smoke utilizing little more than political opinions as evidence to sustain any harm exists in Environmental Tobacco Smoke [ETS]. A minor toxin, which promotions imply cannot be reduced to a level of safety as we do with other toxins with air exchange dilution.
Sir Doll's most recent research of Doctors who smoked demonstrated acceptable levels are possible with effects seen more in those who smoked more and for longer terms. The linear association demonstrated giving reason for smokers to quit, why would we not assume the same of ETS? Consider the populating group fifty years ago there is no logic in current strategies promoting the non-linear association in an idea no safe level exists.
Certainly some were less exposed than others most were not. What is being proposed here is “no safe level” meaning no exposure. The home and car bans contend any exposure causes harm. The teacher’s smoking lounges in the schools can be equated to a neighbors smoke. Health Canada is running commercials stating the smoke residue on a child’s toys are increasing their health risk. They are telling people the air was blue in a woman’s condo from smoke coming through the receptacles, disregarding how much air is in the room does that nonsense sound believable. They are banning smoking in parks with the same nonsense,
The studies are not compliant with that level of exposure demonstrated. If less means less affect, the studies should prove that, meaning a linear association. That leaves us with the question why no PELS have been calculated and applied in assessing the dangers, which made smoking bans viable.
They want to have their cake and eat it too. The science cannot support both linear and
Non-liner association so far no non-linear association has been demonstrated.
This is the deal breaker if they admit to the public a linear association is viable then it is their own fault the standards have not been established decades ago to test ventilation systems with applied science above supposition. If anyone was injured in the workplace because of failures in political opinions, they are also the responsibility of the agencies that should have been monitoring the levels of safety by measurement. PELS and credible advice being given to the public, Moderation strategies which should have been in place instead of running around decrying; no safe level, and it is too difficult, purely in service of political goals with no respect for the damage they may be promoting.
How do we balance theoretic perception with real applied science in this case when both are absolutely opposed? Health Care Reform by it’s current implementation is in fact a downgrading of applied science in favor of theology supporting desired outcomes, decided of course by un-elected politicians masquerading as scientists who define how society should conduct itself according to the majority opinion in the group. This fails when we realize the growing efficiencies of advertising and it’s power in guiding those opinions. Fear-based decisions, which cannot be reversed, are now guided by the power of industry advertisers.
The World Health Organization has found merit in partnering with Industry to sell their messages not realizing as other well intentioned societal groups such as Green peace and MADD discovered, these partnerships are based in self interest, enhancing bottom line efficiencies of industries who seek one goal, regardless of public safety the obligation of the board of directors to it’s investors to continued growth, else stock values decline and investors go elsewhere. The former TC advocacy in 1999 was co-opted by industry partners and has been entirely successful in the promotion of Parma products with public health money co-opted in process to minimize sales expenses universally. Groups like The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Merck and the Center For Science in the public interest, now rise above societal restraint and presume by their lobby advances to dictate directly the wording of Federal, Territorial and Municipal laws. Welcomed as proud partners who have an exclusive voice ordained by their financial position and an obvious ability to dominate advertising campaigns, or to finance sales to the experts in grandiose conventions where they are taught the right language and how to organize an irrefutable truth.
Industry for the most part is responsible for the most damaging environmental effects beyond the obvious smoking, sedentary lifestyles or weight gain effects combined. We have to look at what smoking related diseases might also encompass, in other known causes which Tobacco Control [TC] campaigns efficiently mask. What other toxins in our environment are being protected by the advertisers conditioning, found in HIA described Social Marketing? Social conditioning is being promoted not of smokers but of the general public. The TC message suits Industrial needs including the Tobacco manufacturers who report continued growth with stagnant sales, as the associated mortality figures continue to climb. Deliberate procrastination when partnered health groups know well; the cause has been stabilized for more than five decades. Associated mortality growth they know, cannot be attributed to smoking in the least, yet is by designed protection of their partners ignored in process.
Similarly we are being conditioned in many other prescribed views, which have no alternative opinions. Although many in the applied science community absolutely disagree with the imagined theoretic view, Global warming is viable, the theorists given the dominant power in political circles, are selling us one of the largest expenses this planet has ever considered with a product we will not see for several hundreds of years. The lack of alternate voices balancing the discussion should be troubling to us all. More disturbing is the blatant targeting of how that money will flow from individuals pockets to prop up the sales figures and bottom lines of the same groups financing the promotions.
The Process of HIA developed long term [10 year] and short term [one year] goals developed an implementation period process testing and adjustment protocols and went to work. They assigned responsibilities to designates, assured all members would screen all public speak in order to not discredit their partners.

Health Care Reform by it’s current implementation is in fact a downgrading of applied science in favor of theology supporting desired outcomes, decided of course by un-elected politicians masquerading as scientists who define how society should conduct itself according to the majority opinion in the group. This fails when we realize the growing efficiencies of advertising and it’s power in guiding those opinions. Fear-based decisions, which cannot be reversed, are now guided by the power of industry advertisers.
The World Health Organization has found merit in partnering with Industry to sell their messages not realizing as other well intentioned societal groups such as Green peace and MADD discovered, these partnerships are based in self interest, enhancing bottom line efficiencies of industries who seek one goal, regardless of public safety the obligation of the board of directors to it’s investors to continued growth, else stock values decline and investors go elsewhere. The former TC advocacy in 1999 was co-opted by industry partners and has been entirely successful in the promotion of Parma products with public health money co-opted in process to minimize sales expenses universally. Groups like The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Merck and the Center For Science in the public interest, now rise above societal restraint and presume by their lobby advances to dictate directly the wording of Federal, Territorial and Municipal laws. Welcomed as proud partners who have an exclusive voice ordained by their financial position and an obvious ability to dominate advertising campaigns, or to finance sales to the experts in grandiose conventions where they are taught the right language and how to organize an irrefutable truth.
Industry for the most part is responsible for the most damaging environmental effects beyond the obvious smoking, sedentary lifestyles or weight gain effects combined. We have to look at what smoking related diseases might also encompass, in other known causes which Tobacco Control [TC] campaigns efficiently mask. What other toxins in our environment are being protected by the advertisers conditioning, found in HIA described Social Marketing? Social conditioning is being promoted not of smokers but of the general public. The TC message suits Industrial needs including the Tobacco manufacturers who report continued growth with stagnant sales, as the associated mortality figures continue to climb. Deliberate procrastination when partnered health groups know well; the cause has been stabilized for more than five decades. Associated mortality growth they know, cannot be attributed to smoking in the least, yet is by designed protection of their partners ignored in process.
Similarly we are being conditioned in many other prescribed views, which have no alternative opinions. Although many in the applied science community absolutely disagree with the imagined theoretic view, Global warming is viable, the theorists given the dominant power in political circles, are selling us one of the largest expenses this planet has ever considered with a product we will not see for several hundreds of years. The lack of alternate voices balancing the discussion should be troubling to us all. More disturbing is the blatant targeting of how that money will flow from individuals pockets to prop up the sales figures and bottom lines of the same groups financing the promotions.
