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

ECLUB: Where on Earth are you calling from today?
PD: Oklahoma City, USA, the Sooner State.
ECLUB: How's the good ole US of A?
PD: Samantha and I are having a fantastic time. The driving has been harsh on occasions because of the distance, but we have crossed the beautiful deserts of Utah, splashed around in the streams of the Rockies, perused the art in Aspen, visited my brother's family in California, and broke the speed-limit once in Nevada.
ECLUB: Well, you've been hearing about the European elections, no doubt.
PD: Yes and I am delighted. For the benefit of those just joining us, there has been a significant swing in the recent elections that has highlighted concerns about the fraud, double-dealing, and flat-out corruption going on in the EU. Those worried about the vitamin and herbal directives which seek to ban or severely restrict the public's European access to many nutrients as of July 2005 are quite a few steps closer to their redemption. Pressured by the pharmaceutical industry, EU jobsworths have been trying to protect us from wicked vitamins, minerals and herbs. Most haven't been fooled and know this is merely a corporate coup d'état of the alternative health industry by the drug boys since millions have chosen to desert most drugs in favour of a healthier lifestyle.
ECLUB: Of course, the problems in the European Union are about so much more than just health.
PD: Many did not get engaged with the subject of what the EU actually is for a long time. The prominent showing of the UK Independence Party in the recent elections has thrown a total spook into the Communist machine in Brussels. UKIP seeks to withdraw Britain from the EU and sign a free trade agreement with the nations of Europe to allow business to continue as usual. This arrangement is currently enjoyed by Switzerland and Norway. The idea that Britain, the fourth largest economy by GDP in the world, will suffer by not being 'at the centre of Europe' is frankly idiotic. Britain's £1.3 million an hour contribution into EU coffers for no appreciable benefit and a sack-load of useless regulations is now being recognised by many for the scandal it is. Who wants to be ruled by people you cannot sack? Who wants to be ruled by unaccountable, unelected foreign committees anyway?
ECLUB: People thought you were crazy when you first started putting out this message in 'Let's Fix Britain'.
PD: Perhaps, but freedom is an idea whose time has now come. I say, let's get those useless British politicians out onto the street and turn the bulls of Pamplona loose on them. And if they don't come up to scratch, let them deservedly get the horns in their backsides for their sluggardly ways. Hooray for Kilroy-Silk. Hooray for Nigel Farage and the others at UKIP. Hooray even for Joan Collins, who bothered to get behind so worthy a cause and trumpet the truth from the rooftops.
ECLUB: Unleash her with the bulls of Pamplona also?
PD: Don't be silly, Brian. She runs like a girl.
ECLUB: So what do you have for us this month?
PD: The aspartame lawsuit has now been filed, and we give an update on the dangers of this most pernicious of 'sweeteners'. Then there's 'why death rates decrease when doctors go on strike' - Australian doctors, not Israelis, this time! Then drug firm threatens families who are pressing a lawsuit over MMR damage to their kids. More on bully-boy tactics from a corporation stuck in the limelight over this vaccine débâcle.
I am commencing two series in this issue. One on 'School as Programmed Retardation', highlighting the dangers of how our children are taught today, which will also include the school shooting incidents, dyslexia, and the mandatory drugging up of millions of children who have been told they have a condition only drugs can solve. We also begin a part-work of Steve Ransom's excellent Wake up to Health in the 21st Century, one of my favourite books of the year (www.credence.org), which gets into vaccinations and the general scam that masquerades as the 'infectious' disease industry today… I could go on and on…
ECLUB: And you've frequently been known to.
PD: Plus, we have the brand new tour coming up.
ECLUB: The Break Free tour - tell us about it. UK, Ireland and then off to Australia and New Zealand with it, aren't you?
PD: I'm very excited at the prospect of a full-on assault against the media. I think most of the reporting that goes on is puerile and unnecessary. Who brings the media to account? No-one. Break Free is all about a mental spring-cleaning of attitude and purpose. We're going to fly-by the biggies as usual, such as cancer, heart disease, etc., so newcomers won't miss out, but to our long-standing supporters, Break Free will cover lots of exciting new ground and will motivate listeners through the roof with the central, core message: Make Good Choices.
ECLUB: Where are you speaking tonight?
PD: Minneapolis/St Pauls in Minnesota, USA.
ECLUB: Have a great time. And come back safely.
PD: If we don't, then I lost Samantha somewhere in the cavernous Mall of America with the company credit card and her mobile switched off.
