GRIFFIN TO SPEAK ON THE SCIENCE AND POLITICS OF CANCER
The following is from the press release for my upcoming lecture on November 2:

This lecture is based on G. Edward Griffin's best-selling book, World without Cancer; The Story of Vitamin B17 (commonly called Laetrile). He presents evidence that cancer, like scurvy or pellagra, is primarily a deficiency disease caused by the lack of an essential food factor missing from modern man’s diet. He explains how this substance works selectively to destroy cancer cells and shows that cancer is basically a malfunction of the normal healing process. However, that process can be disrupted when the body is deprived of certain micro-nutrients. This theory has been proved in the laboratory and by thousands of cancer patients who have beaten the death sentence by following it.

Mr. Griffin also reveals how the pharmaceutical industry, using the power of tax-exempt foundations, was able to gain control over the nation’s medical schools and, eventually, the medical profession. He explains why drugs, surgery, and radiation have become the treatment of choice for cancer and why non-drug therapies are often branded as quackery. After decades of research and billions of dollars, the reason we still have not won the war on cancer is because the science of cancer has been overpowered by the politics of cancer.

This presentation, sponsored by the Granada Forum, begins at 7:30 PM Pacific Time, Thursday, November 2, 2006. It will be held in the community hall behind St. Innocent Church, 5657 Lindley Ave. in Tarzana (Los Angeles), California. For those wishing to attend and ask questions, a $10 donation is requested at the door. It may also be viewed live on the Internet for $6. To sign up for the Internet access, go to www.granadaforum.com. For additional information, call (818) 892-2283.

LIBERTATEMS NOW AVAILABLE
Libertatems are one-ounce pure-silver medallions minted exclusively for Freedom Force International. Each medallion features eight symbols illustrating the ideological concepts of individualism as expressed in The Creed of Freedom. For an explanation of this symbolism, click here.

Libertatems are a storehouse of value, a hedge against inflation, a work of art, and a teaching aid to popularize the laws of liberty. The quantity produced in the early years of Freedom Force will be small compared to government coinage. In time, they could acquire substantial collector’s value in addition to bullion value. To facilitate that, they display the year of minting. Each medallion comes in a plastic pouch with a brochure explaining the symbolism. This makes them ideal gifts that communicate the laws of liberty to friends and family. Because they contain one ounce of pure silver, they will never be discarded.

If you are looking for a great Christmas gift for special people on your list, this is it.

Libertatems are created in two series: Series A (for awards) and Series B (for bullion). The design and silver content is the same for both. The difference is in how they are stamped.

Series B comes off the press with what is called an uncirculated strike. They have an overall satin finish like the silver American Eagles manufactured by the U.S. mint. They are a storehouse of value for savings, gifts, or barter. As inflation erodes the value of government currency, these will maintain constant or even gain in purchasing power. Libertatems Series B are real money.

Series A (shown on this page) has what is called a proof strike. It comes off the press with a mirror-like surface in the background. This creates a stunning contrast with the images and produces a beautiful collector’s item. Because their number is extremely limited, it is expected that their numismatic value, over time, will be great.

The price of Libertatems varies with the current spot price of silver. The following prices were updated on October 27. They may vary slightly depending on the price of silver on the date of your order.

SERIES B
1 – 9 at $19.42
10 – 19 at $18.03
20 – 99 at $17.20
100 or more at $16.64

2 times Series B prices

IS ECONOMIC BENEFIT MORE IMPORTANT THAN FREEDOM?
A subscriber recently posed this question:

“Hasn’t China done well under collectivism? I remember in the sixties when we learned that they were starving in China, and that was even in the words to a song. Now, most of the products in our home (power tools, electric heater, computers etc) come from China. On CNN we see their freeways that look just like ours. How significant are a few political prisoners, forced abortions, and prematurely harvested organs from condemned prisoners, in comparison to the economic welfare of millions of people? … ”

“Could different degrees of collectivism be appropriate (that is, produce the least evil) for people of different levels of ‘enlightenment’ (that is, for people whose reluctance to accept personal responsibility prevents them from enjoying the benefits of individualism)?”

This was my reply:

The sacrifice of individuals for the benefit of the group is one of the principles of collectivism. Therefore, you are asking if collectivism (including denial of human rights for some individuals) would be acceptable if it produced economic benefit for the nation. The answer depends on whether you are in the larger group enjoying economic benefit or the smaller group of victims of the police state. It depends on whether you are enjoying material wealth or are a political prisoner, a woman being forced to abort, or a man being executed for the commercial value of his liver. It depends on whether you look only at high-rise buildings and modern roads or also at regimented life styles, fear of authority, blocked access to information, restrictions on travel, limits on religious practice, and denial of free speech.

Collectivists have trouble with this choice because they believe that anything is acceptable so long as the number being benefited is greater than the number being penalized, and—most important—they assume they will never be among the victims.

Individualists also desire economic benefits, but they know there are none of them in the gulag. They also know that, if we deny human rights to a single person or a minority, eventually we could become victims ourselves.

If we assume that we should allow the benefits of freedom only to those who are sufficiently enlightened to accept personal responsibility, we have already abandoned individualism. The assumption that “we” should decide who is qualified implies that “we” have the power to enforce that decision. In other words, it assumes that we are in control of society and are acting as benevolent dictators. That puts us right back to collectivism, where the so-called enlightened ones rule with absolute authority – for the benefit of the masses, of course. If we grant freedom to people on the condition that they will use it wisely, we are only pretending to give it because we retain the power to take it back any time the recipient fails to live up to our expectations. We are saying, in effect: “You are free to do what you wish provided you do exactly as we say. If you fail to follow our directives, then you will lose your freedom.” That’s not freedom at all. It’s collectivist dictatorship.

This is a bad analogy because freedom is not ours to grant in the first place. Individualists believe that human rights are intrinsic to each individual. They are not granted by other men and certainly not by the state. Each of us is born with them; and, if we know what is good for us, we had better protect them. One of the biggest threats to our freedom in modern times is the beguiling argument that they may be denied for the so-called good of the group or the nation. That is the greatest political scam of all history.

ARE MUSLIMS LEAVING NEW YORK CITY?
Earlier this month, I received the following inquiry:

Dear Mr. Griffin,
I’ve been a reader of your materials for decades and am a member of Freedom Force. I’ve heard that CNN announced (one time only) that Muslims in New York City and Washington were being told to get out of those cities. Nothing else has been broadcast about this so I don’t have any further information. If this is true, this could have some very bad implications. On the other hand it could just be the babbling of some talking head at CNN. If you can get some straight information on this story, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you.
Thanks in advance,
David W., Honolulu.

My reply:
This was reported by World Net Daily News but was attributed to an interview with a Pakistani journalist. That’s not a very reliable source, and it could be just more disinformation. We have heard these reports before. The sad part is that, one of these days, one of them could be true. However, if another attack occurs, there is not much we can do about it at the present time. The problem is that these stories tend to scare Americans (justifiably) into blindly supporting GWB’s war on freedom (not justifiably).

Thanks for being a part of Freedom Force.

Founding Fathers, Secret Societies
Freemasons, Illuminati, Rosicrucians, and Decoding the Great Seal
By Robert Hieronimus, Ph.D.
This brings together in one place the historical facts about the deep involvement of many of America’s Founding Fathers in secret societies. It is an amazing record with profound insights into their motivation for the American Revolution and the creation of the unique form of government that became the United States. The author, who is a member of International Co-Masonry, has assembled an impressive body of original sources to document his narrative. This is, without question, the most complete single reference on this topic. (More)

Minutemen; The Battle to Secure America’s Borders
By Jim Gilchrist and Jerome Corsi.
The author tells why he created the Minuteman Project and how he and just a few hundred volunteers, armed with only binoculars and cell phones, proved that America’s borders can be protected against illegal immigration if only there is a will to do so. This leads to the second part of his story, which is why the US government does not have this will and how it has even hindered the work of the Minutemen. This story will make you angry, but it will also enlighten you regarding what American leaders really have planned for the US-Mexican border. They plan to eliminate it. Here are the details. (More)

EMPIRE OF DEPT; THE RISE OF AN EPIC FINANCIAL CRISIS
By Bill Bonner.
Danger! This book will make you think! Avoid it at all costs – unless you want to see how the United States is following the same path to extinction that has been trod by all previous world empires. This is not just a warning about national retribution for political and economic sins, it is an overview of history and popular delusions. You will be swept away by a refreshing blend of facts, insights, wit, and humor. The present and future also are important themes in this book. The authors’ analysis of the stock market and how to invest to survive an economic tsunami is, by itself, worth the cost of this book many times over. (More)

The Water Prescription for Health, Vitality, and Rejuvenation
By Christopher Vasey, N.D.
Recent studies show that not drinking enough water can cause fatigue, constipation, digestive disorders, high blood pressure, Rheumatism, premature aging, and much more. Thirst cannot be relied upon as an indicator of dehydration, especially when drinking coffee, sodas, and alcohol, which cause the body to loose water. Here is the book that explains it all. (More)

Aerosol Crimes aka Chemtrails
This video documentary shows the difference between contrails and chemtrails. Contrails are formed from the condensation of water vapor behind jet aircraft at high altitudes. They can be seen for 15 or 20 seconds before they evaporate and disappear. Chemtrails are formed from the spraying of chemical substances by jet aircraft, also at high altitudes, but these do not evaporate. Instead, they leave billowing clouds from horizon to horizon that gradually spread outward and cover the entire sky with a milky haze, greatly reducing sunlight and visibility. Chemtrails have been a common phenomenon in the NATO countries since the late 1900s, but most people have paid little attention to them, assuming that they were merely contrails. Here is the proof that there is something very unnatural going on in our skies. (More)

An Idea Whose Time Has Come: Freedom Force International
By G. Edward Griffin.
There is no point in worrying about the erosion of personal freedom that is the reality of our present era if we can do nothing about it. They say that knowledge is power, but that is one of the greatest myths of all history. Knowledge without action is useless and leads only to apathy and despair. So the question is: what type of action can reverse this trend? Writing letters and signing petitions to the same people who have created the problem is not going to do it. Voting for candidates selected by power brokers with hidden agendas will not do it either. There have been many proposals to reverse the tide of totalitarianism but, after decades of effort, none of them have worked. In this address, G. Edward Griffin, Founder of Freedom Force, tells us why; and the reason is so simple, it will astound you. Once we clear away that single barrier, the plan for a pro-active counter-force falls quickly into place. This is the missing piece of the puzzle, the ultimate solution we have been seeking. (More)
