Theater Night Update 6-20-08


Hello Everybody - Sue Jeffers, picture above.

Just a quick update.

- See Robert's (Bullseye's) comments below about Theater NIghts. The show must go on!

- On June 28th, Sue Jeffers is planning a radio show on the "Smoking Ban" in Minnesota. It should be an awesome show....tune in. See the article below for more about Sue.

- What do global warming and smoking have in common? The answer is lies & deception (aka Junk Science), read the article below from the Forces website. I recommend watching the video, it is only a few minutes long but worth watching....so Al Gore used computer animation for his documentary.

- Visit Greg's website http://www.freedomtoact.com/ for other updates and articles that have been posted.



From Robert (owner of Bullseye Saloon)
The march toward victory continues. The state passed a bad law but left a broad exception, an exception we used to keep our businesses open. The MDH came around saying what we were doing was illegal, so many of us stopped holding theatre performances. Bullseye did NOT stop performances because he felt they were perfectly legal and felt it was up to a judge to interpret the law, not the MDH. Bullseye was running theatre performances from 8am-2am every day of the week. The customers at Bullseye did not have a central theme to their performance, they did not have a script, and they wore nothing more than a pin as a costume. So, the judge ruled that what was going on at Bullseye was not in fact theatre. But, what this court ruling HAS done is lay the ground work for the rest of us to move forward! Although what "was" and was not" theatre was never spelled out to us in statute, we now know WHAT THEATRE IS! Judge Abrams told us what we were doing wrong at Bullseye so we KNOW how to fix it and HAVE LEGITIMATE THEATRE NIGHTS IN OUR BARS! The MDH tried to say that we could not hold theatre performances in our bars, but Judge Abramns did NOT rule that way. He ruled that our current performances were not good theatre, and then he detailed what we needed to do to fix them. Bullseye Saloon has now been "money-muscled" into signing an agreement with the MDH; he has to pay a fine and is not allowed to hold theatre performances in his bar for 5 years. Bullseye Saloon sacrificed their right to hold theatre performances in order to lay the ground work the rest of us need to move forward with them. Sheila is currently working on a script so we should be ready to start up theatre performances again by the time it gets cold. This battle is not just about Bullseye Saloon, Mark Benjamin, or Sheila Kromer; this battle is about all of us. Ask what YOU can do to help Sheila move this forward. We will not roll over, close our doors, and vanish into the night... we WILL fight to save our lively hood, and WE WILL CONTINUE THEATRE PERFORMANCES IN MINNESOTA BARS!!

Sue Jeffers Hits Weekend Airwaves on KTLK FM
By Dan McGrath on 5/28/2008
She’s been called “feisty,” “scrappy,” a rabble-rouser, a renegade and a fair number of expletives. Best known for her opposition to smoking bans, eminent domain abuses, tax increment financing and a 2006 primary challenge against Governor Pawlenty, Sue Jeffers has been a frequent fill-in host for Dan Conry on KTLK 100.3. Somebody at the FM news talk station, possibly working with a concussion, signed a contract and gave the intractable Sue Jeffers a permanent microphone.

Sue’s program will air Saturdays from 5-7 beginning this weekend. Sue’s inaugural broadcast will take place during the Republican state convention. She says she’ll be covering the event with live updates from Rochester.
Jeffers hasn’t been one to mince words and “politically correct” doesn’t seem to be in her lexicon. Listeners can probably expect a weekly dose of irreverent common sense that will raise the blood pressure of politicians and political insiders. But, those folks aren’t her audience. No doubt, they’ll listen but she’s probably not talking directly to them. During her gubernatorial campaign, her slogan was “People Before Politics.” Her radio show will more likely engage the “grassroots” and regular working people on the issues that impact everyday lives.
Sue Jeffers has contributed articles and research to Minnesota Majority and occasionally writes for True North.



USA: Junk science grows like Pinocchio's nosehttp://forces.org/News_Portal/news_viewer.php?id=123118th June 2008
Our regular readers are familiar with the fraud antismokers use to make you believe that smoking gives “black lung,” using either artificially tarred-up pig lungs or, easier yet, lungs that have been “touched up” with computers. Then they get pneumonologists or oncologists to tell you that your lungs are just like that. Al Gore and the global doomers have now been caught in a similar scam.
The idea of the "black lungs" is to get the fool to go: “Ooohh!”, whilst shivers run down his spine, inspiring him to become “useful”: the smoker must stop, and all must spread the word, "educate" about the threat, as holy missionaries! The manipulation of emotions at an elementary level has always been at the heart of the propaganda that all criminals – political, religious, environmentalists, or healthists – have used since time immemorial, to make us believe what they want.
In this case we are talking about another great fraud, that of anthropogenic global warming. The famous documentary by Al Gore, An Inconvenient Truth, shows footage of immense glaciers, telling us they are receding, melting away because of evil mankind. That is to further depress the fools who have already been "educated" to feel guilty every time they turn their cars on. Somebody, however, noticed that the footage in the documentary was the same that was used for the catastrophist and purely fictional The Day After Tomorrow movie.
Brain-dead apologists would say, “Well, what’s wrong with using some footage twice?” Nothing at all – if only the footage was real! Here, as with the “smokers’ black lungs,” this is something that does not exist, as it is completely computer-generated. In short it is a fraud because the spectator is not told that the glacier (or the lung) is a fiction! In the news clip that exposes the fraud a representative of the company that made the computer animation is interviewed.
The gravest aspect is highlighted by the smiling representative herself, who says, “It was one hell of a shot. I think it’s great that he used it”, completely missing the gravity of the false representation. This point is picked up again by the host of the news clip, who also misses the target in full. “Is it wrong for a documentary to use a fabricated Hollywood shot to make a point, even if there is science behind it?”
It is wrong twice: first because the public was not told that it is fiction. Second – and even more important – because there is no science behind the point. There is no science behind anthropogenic global warming as there is no science behind antismoking propaganda. Not even one thousandth of a degree of the presumably increased global temperature can be scientifically proven to be caused by Man. Not even one death in the world can be scientifically proven to be caused by smoking. In both cases it is always and only junk science presented by dishonest and fanatical “experts” who abuse their positions for money and power, and who are put on pedestals instead of being thrown in jail for creating public panic and falsely representing the evidence to the public. The question the host should have asked is this: “Is it wrong for a documentary to use a fabricated Hollywood shot to make a point, even when the point itself is a fraud?” Unfortunately we've got to the point that, when denouncing a fraud (the computer glaciers) we legitimize another one – that there is science behind anthropogenic global warming. These are the results when deception becomes culture. The news broadcaster says Gore and his production team did not respond to calls for an explanation. There is no explanation. Junk science Pinocchios have once again been caught in a lie. We call upon all of you to join us in the fight to restore rational public policy.
