Reefer" cigaretteswoman grows a third arm after smoking "Killer Weed" (Marijuana Madness!)
DAVE SEZ=Don't Let It Happen To YOU!
Purity Hero Sean Hannity took to the radio airwaves Tuesday to alert America to this profound insight: marijuana will kill you dead! As proof, Hannity offers a genuinely sad story from Colorado, about the 19-year-old who jumped off a 4th-floor balcony after eating a friend's marijuana cookie. The autopsy listed marijuana intoxication as a significant contributing factor in the death of 19-year-old Levi Thamba Pongi, a native of the Republic of Congo, who fell from a balcony. One of Hannity's guests tried to point out that "significant contributing factor" is different from "sole cause," but Hannity knew better: "In other words, he was stoned out of his mind!" All this brilliance was prefaced by Hannity's worries about other victims of pot, like innocent children "getting into their parents' pot-laced goodies -- because they have, I guess, pot candy and pot brownies and pot this and pot that." And as that one guest (whose name doesn't appear on the Hannity website -- apparently there have been no guests in 2014) said, yes, it makes sense that if you're going to have legal pot, you don't just leave the stuff out where the kids can get into it: "Drugs are like alcohol and guns and they need to be put away in a safe place." Oddly, we don't know of any stories where Hannity concluded that guns need to be banned after a kid got their hands on one with disastrous results. Hannity's other guest, on the other hand, was much more sympathetic to his position, saying that she's "read about people dying already from smoking too much pot and then falling." Even worse, Hannity intoned, "There was a case of a dog that OD'd from pot!" The pro-pot guest soberly agreed that "anybody who murders a dog should go to jail forever," and that, yes, if people irresponsibly leave their intoxicating adult stuff around where their kids get into it, they are bad parents and should be prosecuted for endangering their kids. The recording cuts off just as the anti-pot guest starts warming up on her theory that marijuana legalization is just a ploy to distract us from the serious issues like "people losing their healthcare" and presumably, Benghazi. Yr Wonkette has already reported on just how deadly weed candy can almost be, so we are sympathetic to people who have had bad experiences -- on the other hand, despite the fact that alcohol can actually poison people to death, and does, at plenty of frat parties, booze remains legal. But the real lesson is obvious: Weed kills, and must be prohibited. Alcohol, on the other hand, should be enjoyed responsibly, and guns, needless to say, are in the Constitution for a very good reason: So you can protect yourself from roving bands of weed-crazed youths. Colorado woman grows a third arm after smoking "Killer Weed" Betty Diamond was told if she didn't stop smoking Marijuana she would regret it. Betty thought because its legal it must be safe. There is no treatment for her condition and she is not expected to recover. Betty says the weed made her feel great and stopped her headaches.- do NOT contact me with unsolicited services or offers

Tobacco isn't just about cancer (berkeley) ( Tobacco is not cancer (berkel)
For despite its name -- and in keeping with its word-warping
language -- the essence of much corporate public relations is neither
public nor relational but stealthy and manipulative. Indeed, its
effectiveness is predicated on its invisibility. "The best PR ends
up looking like news," says a prominent practitioner. "You'll never
know when a PR agency is being effective; you'll just find your
views slowly shifting." Media researchers estimate that 40% of what
Americans see, hear and read as news is actually just lightly edited
PR press releases. Another substantial portion consists of voices
and faces placed by publicists supplying overworked and under-
motivated journalists with ready-made material.
For anyone willing to pay the price, PR agencies promote and protect
corporate and partisan agendas, democratic pols and image-challenged
dictators. It boosts or blasts specific public policies by targeting
specific constituencies with a strategic blend of largely covert
operations ranging from paid ads, "earned" (PR-prompted) media,
and "reputation management" strategies to industrial espionage,
damage control, use of third party authorities, clandestine
censorship, and infiltration of groups and individuals opposing
their clients' interests.
In such a high-stakes, high-priced industry, the great majority of
clients are wealthy -- major corporations, politicians, celebrities,
and political parties with a powerful interest in advancing their
agendas or maintaining a positive public image to camouflage dubious
motives or personal and institutional misconduct. Many PR clients
spend more money rebuilding their images than redressing the
problems that first tarnished them. Indeed, it is largely in order
to avoid having to rectify problems they fear would be too expensive
to fix that they invest in reality-reshaping strategies.
Energy companies, for example, have pumped vast sums in recent years
into clandestine PR tactics designed to dissuade U.S. policymakers
from taking measures to reduce America's greenhouse gas emissions.
Through an industry-sponsored Global Climate Coalition they have
sought to discredit the conclusions of the UN's esteemed Climate
Change Panel by feeding the media a handful of scientists (mostly in
the pay of the same corporations) willing to dissent from the
overwhelming majority who believe rapid action is essential.
Indeed, corporate PR is so successful that even many of its chief
victims -- progressive politicians, environmental, labor and social
justice movements and others -- turn to the same techniques (and
often the same companies) to promote their own messages. Many
believe that they must "fight flak with flak." On behalf of several
global population organizations, a U.S. foundation recently granted
a major PR/ad agency $16 million to inundate eight second-tier U.S.
cities with paid ads and PR strategies designed to "brand"
international family planning like Coke and Toyota.
But can a social cause be effectively marketed in the same fashion
as a soft drink? And is something vital lost in the process? Like
advertising, PR can be dismayingly effective in inducing people to
do and believe in things that in their right minds they might not
choose, like smoking or voting for a politician who will steal them
blind. But can PR induce people to think for themselves? Can it make
them better citizens? Does it even want to? What happens to a
democracy whose citizens have been so steadily and artfully deceived
that they no longer detect any difference between reality and its
counterfeit -- or even care?
Underlying PR is an unspoken assumption that most people are not
capable of intelligent, independent thought and action and that "for
the greater good" they must be programmed en masse to act in
prescribed ways. "It is now possible to control and regiment the
masses according to our will without their knowing it," wrote Edward
Bernays. "The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the
organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element
in a democratic society."
Bernays' chilling vision has come to pass. But in the process it
has so brain-damaged democracy that both the "masses" being
manipulated and the invisible hands manipulating them have
surrendered their responsibilities -- and possibilities -- as free
and conscious beings. Only by refusing to be "spun" and reasserting
the primacy of our own independent judgment can we reclaim our
citizenship, and with it revive a diminished democratic culture.
* * * Tobacco is not cause of cancer (berkeley) (Real World)
Tobacco isn't just about cancer (berkeley) I wonder if one reason that the tobacco companies have taken such a "hit" is
because they would not completely sell out to the chemical companies who wanted
to buy them out years ago like the food and pharmaceutical companies sold out to
those chemical companies?

Smoking Helps Protect Against Lung Cancer
And here are some of the mice who helped to prove it!
Every year, thousands of medical doctors and other members of the "Anti-Smoking
Inquisition" spend billions of dollars perpetuating what has unquestionably
become the most misleading though successful social engineering scam in history.
With the encouragement of most western governments, these Orwellian lobbyists
pursue smokers with a fanatical zeal that completely overshadows the ridiculous
American alcohol prohibition debacle, which started in 1919 and lasted until
1933.
Nowadays we look back on American prohibition with justifiable astonishment. Is
it really true that an entire nation allowed itself to be denied a beer or
scotch by a tiny group of tambourine-bashing fanatics? Sadly, yes it is, despite
a total lack of evidence that alcohol causes any harm to humans, unless consumed
in truly astronomical quantities.
Alas, the safety of alcohol was of no interest to the tambourine-bashers, for
whom control over others was the one and only true goal. Americans were visibly
"sinning" by enjoying themselves having a few alcoholic drinks, and the puritans
interceded on behalf of God to make them all feel miserable again.
Although there is no direct link between alcohol and tobacco, the history of
American prohibition is important, because it helps us understand how a tiny
number of zealots managed to control the behavior and lives of tens of millions
of people. Nowadays exactly the same thing is happening to smokers, though this
time it is at the hands of government zealots and ignorant medical practitioners
rather than tambourine-bashing religious fanatics.
Certain governments know that their past actions are directly responsible for
causing most of the lung and skin cancers in the world today, so they go to
extreme lengths in trying to deflect responsibility and thus financial liability
away from themselves, and onto harmless organic tobacco instead. As we will find
later in the report, humble organic tobacco has never hurt anyone, and in
certain ways can justifiably claim to provide startling health protection.
Not all governments around the world share the same problem. Japan and Greece
have the highest numbers of adult cigarette smokers in the world, but the lowest
incidence of lung cancer. In direct contrast to this, America, Australia,
Russia, and some South Pacific island groups have the lowest numbers of adult
cigarette smokers in the world, but the highest incidence of lung cancer. This
is clue number-one in unraveling the absurd but entrenched western medical lie
that "smoking causes lung cancer."

The Age of Spin
"Truth is a liquid." So concluded Edward Bernays, who in the years
between the two world wars invented the modern art and profession of
public relations. Like an alchemist of mass consciousness, Bernays
melted down the crude ores of ordinary reality, blended them with
the fool's gold of deceits and half-truths and produced facsimiles
of fact so seamless that even skeptics could no longer discern where
the real drained away and deception flowed in. The nephew of Sigmund
Freud, Bernays took his uncle's insights into the individual psyche
and applied them to the manipulation of mass psychology.
But even Bernays did not imagine just how pervasive and persuasive
PR would eventually become. Today it is a worldwide industry worth
tens of billions of dollars annually, growing at rates of 40-60
percent a year. Many are independent publicists legitimately seeking
greater visibility for their clients' work by the time-tested
techniques of press releases, press conferences and author tours.
But the larger firms exert massive influence by a wide range of
intrusive and manipulative tactics that remain largely invisible to
the public.
The world's leading PR operations -- Fleishman-Hillard, Burson-
Marsteller, Hill and Knowlton, Weber Shandwick -- are based in the
U.S. and U.K. but maintain offices in scores of countries. Most
couple their PR operations to much larger advertising divisions,
offering their customers "integrated communications strategies" in
which ads project irresistible images while PR massages the messages
from behind the projector.

language -- the essence of much corporate public relations is neither
