Up Close and Personal
The Monthly Interview with
CTM Founder Phillip Day

ECLUB: Top of the mornin' to ya, Phillip. And how was Ireland?
PD: Green, very pleasant, and superbly hospitable folks. Brian, I saw this and immediately thought of you.
ECLUB: A Kermit Frog?
PD: It's green, isn't it?
ECLUB: What's going on this month?
PD: Ah, our restless, fretting planet. Well, let's see. Following on from Celebrity Chef Jamie Oliver's excellent crusade against the rubbish given to schoolkids in the name of victuals, his petition collected over 271,000 signatures which resulted in Blair's Government pledging to cough up more money to feed the kids better (I'm holding my breath and already turning blue). Those reading this in other countries are heartily encouraged to get a similar scheme underway where you live. Check out Jamie's site and if necessary, write to Jamie's campaign personnel to see what they advise you can do to promote his drive for decent school progger in your own country. Many thanks, by the way, for all who took the trouble to participate. More than a few of those signatures came from CTM members all over the world after the eblast we sent out.
ECLUB: And there's another petition our members can sign?
PD: Yup. Banning the nasties out of foods, especially children's foods. Aspartame, saccharin, etc.. Click here to find out more, and please circulate this link to those you know who will be interested. There is a short article in this EClub entitled, appropriately enough, Ban The Nasties.
ECLUB: More also on the drugging of our children?
PD: All parents should read the article in this EClub on the subject. Am I the only one outraged at the idea that schools and care-homes drug up millions each day just to keep them out of trouble? Of course not, but we need to take a united stand against this Orwellian turn our society has been taking. I think, by and large, many parents are unwilling to confront authorities on this issue simply because they don't know enough about it….
ECLUB: By the way, I got around to reading your book The Mind Game the other day. All I can say is blimey…
PD: Hard to imagine a lot of that goes on, isn't it?
ECLUB: I know the press has been covering it a little bit.
PD: That's the problem. It's only a little bit. Everyone's too afraid of upsetting everyone else.
ECLUB: Not you, apparently….
PD: This month we're also summarising the AIDS series we've been running these past months. Remember, folks, many countries such as Australia, The US, UK, New Zealand, are looking to bring in mandatory HIV screening schemes for pregnant mums, and believe me when I say that this is not a path you want to go down.
ECLUB: How can people find out more?
PD: They can take our Internet tour which describes our new book, The Truth About HIV. Other subjects covered this month are: vaccine damage; more on the dangers of phone masts; an excellent rebuttal by the Mercola team on the attack they received over their stance on the dangers of unfermented soy products; a US fluoridation victory and, unfortunately, yet another dangerous drug advisory.
ECLUB: And what about the European Union Food Supplements latest?
PD: Some great news here. An EU judge has ruled the law 'invalid', although the court's official decision on the challenge posed by the excellent Alliance of Natural Health won't be known for a few months. I am uneasy about the timing of this though. The court can still rule in favour of the FSD and the ban go ahead in August. The effect of the judge making his own personal views known at this point is likely to give Tony Blair a smoother ride of it through the election, after which time the ban can then take effect with the minimum of political damage. Remember, Blair is the EU's golden boy, and they want to see him in again.
ECLUB: And yet the EU Constitution, which will underpin the future relationship of the EU's member states, is already in trouble, isn't it?
PD: As previously mentioned, as things currently stand, France looks like voting against it, which will scupper the wretched thing good and proper. I am all in favour of a united Europe, as I have always said, not a corrupt, Soviet-style Europe which plunges us all back into old problems of protectionism and Big Brother. A few have written e-mails frankly alarmed at the stance I am taking on the EU. I AM COMPLETELY UNREPENTANT (is that big enough writing?). There are dangers inherent in the EU project these people freely admit to not knowing which need to be sorted, before we pass the point of no return. 80% of the British look like they will vote the Constitution down and send the Brusselcrats scurrying. Britain is paying £30 million a day to be a member of the disastrous EU project. I can think of a hundred ways this money could be spent better, if it needs to be spent at all. Once again, this is not an issue about xenophobia, racism, or whatever Pavlovian buzzwords the politicos come up with to protect their lucrative scamming. This is a core issue of freedom for all our futures. Other countries are fighting their own programs concerning Codex and the Great Vitamin Snatch. Please, everyone, give them your wholehearted support: New Zealand Health Trust. Alliance for Health Freedom (Australia). Eve Hillary (Australia). Rath Foundation (EU). Alliance for Natural Health (Britain). International Advocates for Health Freedom (USA and Canada).
ECLUB: You have your own unique EU protest about to be launched, do you not?
PD: Aye, lad. I'm fed up with GB on our car number plates with the EU flag above the GB, so I'm having some Union jack stickers made up just the right size. I cannot, of course, recommend officially these be put on car plates (it would make an interesting court case, though I doubt anyone will have the cojones to bring it), but we'll have the flags available for free distribution if anyone sends us a stamped-address reply envelope. What you do with them is up to you.
ECLUB: Thank you, Phillip.
PD: So you don't want the frog then?
