Dr Graham is a class guy. ObTobacco: We came to an agreement that I should still be off any meds, and to quit smoking, because nicotine is addictive, and nicotine's effect as a drug was antithetical to maintaining the brain's homeostasis towards "normalcy" as opposed to "psychosis".
The effs got much of their funding from big tobacco and pharmaceuticals. Tobacco has the effect of increasing the likelihood of noticeable aberrant behavior [defined as such by the U.S. equivalent of the politburo of the old Soviet Union] while being highly addictive and readily available. If one was to target a political dissident, one first gets him hooked on smoking [sorry Aleksandra Lutovsky, it was you who started me on Black Russians, but maybe you were telling me something -- half czech, half latvian byuti]. Then when smoking, the dissident is fed suggestions to drive his behavior over the line, then the real fun starts as the effs proceed to drive the dissident insane. Either the dissident succeeds in his inevitable attempt at suicide, or he's hospitalized, or he's put under medical supervision. The real money, of course, is in medicine and health care. Everybody knows that. By skimming profits from drug companies that sell newer and newer useless medicines [all have semi-orthoganal side-effect vectors in the direction of neuroses or psychoses such as weight gain and lowering of self esteem or epilepsy or "dumbing down" by slowing the firing of synapses, &etc], and maintaining an overly top-heavy medical beureaucracy [skimming from them too], and a "socialized" health care system that asks no questions about prescriptions [skim skim skim], et al., the effs accumulated quite a lot of money from the American medical system. In Canada, as confirmed, the effs merely pulled the money laundering schemes. More as I confirm things.
