Re: Class Action Defamation Suit against Barret/Fumento/Mill

More | Report Post

Dear ff: Dr. Ann Campbell and others write about this consolidated effort
of pesticide companies, perfume companies, etc. It has even been reported
in such literature that the previously mentioned Dr. Gots was paid $10,000
for one article to discredit MCS. This is why these people must be held
accountable. Of course, such a lawsuit would include the companies and
not merely the propagandists. It's just like the tobacco lobby days.

Now, concerning fatal errors of the proganda machine:

1a] They can mock MCS all that they want. It does not take away the fact
that mainstream medicine already recognized Chemical Sensitivity "in
case-specific form." And of course, the propaganda machine's objective
was to convince the public that chemical-bearing should be allowed to
proliferate everywhere, at regulation levels. And to do this, they needed
to convince the public that no one at any time ever suffers adverse
ractivity from any chemical at low-to-moderate levels. So, they made the
MCS suffer the scapegoat, calling each one mentally ill. But, they
overlooked the fact that the exact same chemicals are avoided by asthma
patients who did fail the very physiological ABG test, etc. Thus, on
account of the duly diagnosed asthmatics, alone, those chemical-bearing
substance must be harnassed.

1b] The propagandists always mention that the AAAAI rejected MCS as a
valid diagnosis, in its official position statement. But, they never
mentioned that, in the exact same statement, the AAAAI expressly
recognized as valid the diagnostic title, "Building-related Illness." And
of course, that is Sick Building Syndrome + lingering sensitivies. Sick
Building Syndrome (SBS) is also regarded as a cousion of MCS, by the way.
So, the propaganda machine needed to discredit SBS as much as MCS. The
AAAAI thwarted the propagand machine. As well, Fumento wrote a
sterotypically sarcastic article, mocking Sick Building Syndrome, as well
as an additional one or two, mocking the perfume sensitivity that afflicts
Sick Building Syndrome sufferers. Milloy did similar. By the way, Milloy
expressly advocated bringing back DDT to the market. He called the DDT
ban genocidal. That is the character of the propaganda machine.

1c] By the way, the same AAAAI, in the same position statement, also
recognized Reactive Airway Dysfunction Syndrome as physiological illness
and not a matter of "anxiety attacks". It also recognized
Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis, as purely physiological and no psychiatric,
also. So, in its attempt to discredit chemical sensitivity, the anti-MCS
lobby cited the exact document that recognizes Chemical Sensitivity in
"case-specific form".

2] Barrett gave himself away when he wrote "synthetic chemicals", claiming
that there is no evidence that anyone could be sensitized to the chemical
industry's procudt line. Well, if I were a hired propagandist, I would
have simply mentioned that not all chemical sensitivity triggers are
limited to the chemical industry's product line. Rather, some chemical
sensitvity triggers are found in unprocessed nature, as is the case in
untreated pine, peruvian lily, willow bark, tulip, and primose. I would
have said, "Some people are allergic to pine. But, that does not mean
that you cut down all the pine trees in the forests." "Some people are
allergic to freshly cut grass. But, that does not mean that you uproot
all the grass in the world." "Some workers get sensitized to cotton dust
and develop a respiratory illness known as byssinossis. But, that doesn't
mean that you bury all the cotton in the world." You simply give these
people their allergy-free climates. But, the propaganda machine didn't do
this. This shows intentional deceit. This indicates that:

1] either they knew that there was a harm factor in the perfume,
pesticide, and chemical industry's product line.

2] or they are so greedy and selfish that they want their product line
sold and applied everywhere unrestrictedly.

3] or both.

You know what, there is something deadly wrong with a society that insists
on even having its toilet paper scented. This is gluttony. By the way,
do you know why certain people are fixated on having scents everywhere
they go? Ans: To stimulate their bored adrenal system. In fact, that is
the exact same reason why certain people frequented horror movies. All
that these people have to do to is take up vigorous exercise:
return sprints, full court basketball, tennis, trampoline, etc. Simply
get a punching bag or some rope to skip. Sprint up hillsides. It has to
be something that breaks a sweat and makes a person feel free. That will
do it. Scent gluttony is the result of a sedentary society.
