Smoking is good for you?

Why do governments want to ban smoking? I mean, it’s not as if they actually care about their citizens’ health. If so, they would spend more on healing than killing. But, more to the point, they would address the far more personally and socially destructive effects of alcohol and refined sugar, (which of course, are one and the same) evidenced by alcohol fueled late night violence and sex between drunken obese teenagers (and beyond), who cram casualty departments and make our city centres no-go areas until the sun comes up.

Yet, regardless of this epidemic, because the sugar/alcohol multinationals’ influence is so powerful, health is a minor distraction – however, tobacco companies carry the same political influence, so this is not the reason. In addition, governments make billions annually from smoking: taxes, needless to say, but also in terms of unneeded pensions and the extraordinary savings in health care which escalate dramatically in old age.

The 4 videos below form “Britain on the Brink”, a 40 minute presentation that details a sobering view of how the EU is being developed and to what end. Coercive political agendas such as the EU are symptomatic of a collective mental illness within the organisation(s) that push them. This is not a new phenomenon.

The bulk of conflicts throughout history have been driven by groups that, in their collective ego state, initiate all manner of suffering. Often the so-called leaders within these groups are simply the ones whose egos are the most developed and consequently the ones who are most mentally ill, ie psychopathic. Stalin, Hitler, Churchill and Mao fulfill the stereotype; recently we’ve had George Bush Sr and Jr, Henry Kissinger, Dick Cheney, Tony Blair and so on. This “condition” is not limited to well known political figures but has been and continues to be prevalent within the higher orders of religions, private banking dynasties, multinational corporations and so on. The list is a long one and the names familiar.

This brief excerpt from A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle addresses a key aspect of the collective mental illness that occurs within groups. It is this illness that forms the route of much of the group psychopathic behaviour that currently afflicts us and emanates from power centres such as Govt’s and religious orders that have lost their way (ie practically all of them). Becoming conscious and aware of the power of the group ego is work befitting all of us. Also, check out Eckhart Tolle on YouTube for multiple offerings from this calm, peaceful and truly inspiring communicator.

How hard it is to live with yourself! One of the ways in which the ego attempts to escape the unsatisfactoriness of personal selfhood is to enlarge and strengthen its sense of self by identifying with a group–a nation, political party, corporation, institution, sect, club, gang, football team.

In some cases the personal ego seems to dissolve completely as someone dedicates his or her life to working selflessly for the greater good of the collective without demanding personal rewards, recognition, or aggrandizement. What a relief to be freed of the dreadful burden of personal self. The members of the collective feel happy and fulfilled, no matter how hard they work, how many sacrifices they make. They appear to have gone beyond ego. The question is: Have they truly become free, or has the ego simply shifted from the personal to the collective?

November 30, 2007 (LPAC)–The German Society of Psychotherapists (GwG) called for a total ban against violent computer games, in a statement issued yesterday from Cologne. This worthy attack, aimed at the heart of death-cult youth brainwashing tactics, took place only days after the LaRouche Youth Movement intervened sharply at a Berlin event on the same grouping.

The society pronounced, “Killer games are landmines for the soul of young people,” noting that the games give players bonus points for each person they kill. The “image of man” disfigured in this way in the minds of young people, is inhuman, and must therefore be banned by law. (Take note that the word they used, “das Menschenbild”, which translates as “the image of man”, is highly reminiscent of Friedrich Schiller and is rarely heard today outside of church services.)

Politicians must act, the society demanded, “before an entire generation of children and youth are pulled into a whirl of violence… Computer killer games are inhuman,” they say, “and therefore violate the constitution.” The GwG is the largest psychotherapists’ association of its kind in Europe.

PS – The following podcast from Alan Watt (Nov 30th 2007) features a call in from a computer games developer which supports the above most ably.
