DITCH TOFU – 10 GOOD REASONS WHY SOY SHOULD BE ELIMINATED FROM YOUR DIET
For many years, vegetarian bodybuilders and athletes have incorporated soy into their diets, believing that it is the perfect form of protein to repair and build muscle. Even we have advocated it on VB (there still be articles that we have to revamp on here actually).
Among the more popular beliefs regarding soy is that it is a rich source of protein and even helps in the prevention of degenerative diseases such as osteoporosis.
Soy and soy products are heavily consumed in most Asian countries, so it can be bothersome enough to see people (especially vegetarians) consume them in significant amounts.
A primary ingredient in vegetarian meat substitutes such as tofu, soy can also be found in a wide array of common food products: milk, cereals, peanut butter, chocolate, and even nutritional supplements.
Contrary to popular belief, soy isn't truly a health food. In fact, soy can be harmful to the body because it contains dangerous anti-nutrients and toxins. Scientific studies reveal that high levels of soy consumption can actually be unhealthy.
When you look deeper into the chemical composition of soy, you will see that it can inhibit the body from absorbing essential minerals and even cause hormonal upsets.
Most of the proteins found in soy are actually compromised due to the extensive processing required to eliminate phytoestrogens, goitrogens, phytic acid, and other anti-nutrients from soybeans.
Furthermore, heavily processed soy can be unpalatable, so manufacturers of soy products typically use artificial flavoring and MSG to improve its taste. As a result, even more toxins can be found in the final product.
Nonetheless, there are soy products that offer some nutritional value when incorporated into our diets. A few examples of these commercially prepared food items are fermented soy products like soy sauce, miso, natto, and tempeh.
It is good practice to check labels and take extra care and effort when looking for the best sources of fermented soy. Some of them may have been sourced from genetically modified (GMO) soybeans or have undergone heavy processing that can create further toxins.
No matter what, you should never use unfermented soy. Surprisingly, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not even awarded a "generally recognized as safe" (GRAS) designation to unfermented soy, so it should be avoided at all costs.
Below, you will find 10 good reasons to avoid soy products. They are listed in no particular order of importance, and it is prudent to give equal attention to each.
1. Soy inhibits the body from absorbing essential minerals and nutrients.
High phytic acid levels in soy reduces the assimilation of vital minerals that include calcium, magnesium, copper, iron, and zinc. Calcium is essential for optimum bone health.
Osteoporosis and other bone-related issues can arise from a deficiency in calcium levels.
A healthy level of iron is vital for the production of hemoglobin and transport of oxygen to every cell of the human body.
Zinc stimulates the activity of approximately 300 different enzymes in the body and is vital in maintaining a healthy immune system.
Phytic acid, which is found in high levels in soy, is classified as an anti-nutrient because it inhibits the absorption of these vital minerals essential for maintaining optimum health.
2. Because of the intense methods involved in the processing of soybeans, many toxins are present in final soy products.
As mentioned earlier, significant levels of phytic acid are found in soybeans and they need to be inactivated. This can be done through intense industrial processing, which involves washing soybeans in acid using aluminum tanks.
The procedure can cause harmful chemicals to leach into the end products. The beans are then treated in an alkaline solution, which could result in the formation of lysinoalanine, a toxic compound that can reduce the bioavailability of proteins and lead to severely impaired digestibility.
On top of that, the spray-drying process that follows tends to encourage the formation of carcinogenic nitrates.
3. You will not get good protein from manufactured soy products.
We won't refute claims that soybean is among the few foods that contain all nine essential amino acids, making it an excellent source of protein. This is 100 percent absolutely true.
The body cannot produce essential amino acids, therefore it has to source these from certain foods. Examples of these foods are meat and eggs, but if you're looking for a complete plant-based protein, soybean is a perfect choice.
The problem, however, is that we only have access to manufactured soy. Soybeans undergo an intensive manufacturing process that triggers chemical changes in essential amino acids.
Furthermore, the fragile proteins are denatured and possibly destroyed during high temperature processing.
To sum it up, good protein that contains all nine essential amino acids in an absorbable state can only be derived from soy that has not been subject to intensive processing. That said, there are some good quality soy isolate protein powders that are minimally processed and worth taking.
4. It is likely that MSG can be found in most soy products.
Despite measures to reduce soy's natural bean-like flavor, it still comes with a strong and nasty aftertaste after all that heavy processing. Manufacturers often tackle this issue with the use of artificial flavorings and Monosodium L-glutamate (MSG).
MSG has the inherent ability to enhance taste sensitivity so artificial flavorings will overpower the unpleasant beany aftertaste of soybeans.
The sad part is that MSG has been proven to be toxic, with a number of scientific studies linking it to brain lesions, obesity, diabetes, adrenal gland malfunction, and a host of other health problems.
5. Soy contains phytoestrogens that can cause breast cancer.
Among the most disturbing ill effects of soy on health has to do with its phytoestrogens. Specifically, a phytoestrogen called genistein found in soybeans can mimic the effects of the female estrogen hormone*.
These phytoestrogens disrupt endocrine function and have the potential to cause infertility and promote breast cancer in adult women.
*Granted, a man would have to eat a truckload of this stuff for it to negatively affect him… but still it's worth mentioning.
6. Goitrogens are also present in soy and these can cause thyroid issues.
Soy contains goitrogens, which are basically potent anti-thyroid agents that can inhibit iodine uptake and block your synthesis of thyroid hormones.
These can cause depressed thyroid functions, which can lead to hypothyroidism or thyroid cancer. Proper thyroid functions are critical in regulating metabolism and cellular growth.
7. The FDA has not yet issued a GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) rating for soy.
With all the soy and soy-based products you see in the market, it is puzzling that the U.S. Food & Drug Administration hasn't even granted most soy products a GRAS status.
The only two soybean products that have received a GRAS rating so far are protein isolate and soybean oil, but that's only under the category of "substances migrating to food from paper and paperboard products."
For over a century now, soy has been widely used in making cardboard boxes but was never widely used on food products. It wasn't until the 1950s when so-called "health benefits" of soy products were introduced to the public via brisk marketing strategies by its manufacturers.
The fact remains, however, that soy has only been diagnosed as safe for cardboard boxes and not as consumable food products.
8. Practices employed in the propagation of soybeans are harmful to marine life.
Soybean is cultivated as a mono-crop, a farming practice that basically entails propagating a single species in a specified land area. Such a method goes against the law of nature and can be harmful to the environment, mainly because it destroys otherwise nutrient-rich topsoil.
For topsoil to remain rich and fertile, there should exist what we call "perennial polycultures." These are incredibly biodiverse environments where symbiotic relationships among animals, plants, and microorganisms take place.
A perfect example of this is a forest where the earth's topsoil is constantly regenerated by mutually beneficial processes among its inhabitants.
In contrast, soybean farming can deplete topsoil and chemical fertilizers have to be introduced. On top of that, herbicides and pesticides are heavily used, and all these can have a negative impact on the environment.
In the U.S., runoffs from fertilizers and chemicals used in farming make their way through interconnected waterways and into bodies of water that were once rich in marine life.
A stark example of this is 12,000 square miles of dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico. A dead zone is an area where no marine life can exist or survive. Fish, corals, dolphins, and other live organisms may either have been poisoned or forced to migrate.
9. Most of available soy is genetically modified (GMO).
Ninety-nine percent of all available soy is generated from genetically modified soybeans. Ever wondered why there's this current demand for food products bearing the label "GMO-free" or "contains only non-GMO ingredients"?
That's because genetic modification is a highly dangerous practice. It's breaking down nature's genetic barriers by permitting the transfer of genes from viruses, bacteria, plants, and even animals, with unforeseen and often harmful consequences.
In the case of genetically modified soybeans, they have become quite resistant to herbicides and toxic chemicals, which have been linked to a wide range of health issues ranging from allergies, infertility, low birth weight, birth defects, and even higher offspring deaths, among others.
Genetic modification is a precarious way of trying to control nature and forcing things to behave the way we want.
Rather than pay a hefty price and destroy our planet, man should be working harmoniously with nature through mutually beneficial relationships that will reap long-term gains.
10. The belief that Asians reap a wide array of health benefits from high soy consumption remains a myth.
Soy is popularly used in Asian cuisines, and that's probably the reason behind the belief that people in this side of the world live longer lives due to the health benefits of soy.
But the truth is, soy is used in very small amounts in most Asian dishes, primarily as a condiment and never as a staple.
It was the Chinese who first discovered fermented soybean as a potential food source during the Chou Dynasty (1134-246 B.C.).
The fermentation process itself removes most of soy's toxic anti-nutrients, and therefore it should be noted that only fermented soy products may be considered as health foods.
The most common soy-based foods used in Asian cultures include miso, natto, tempeh, and soy sauce. They are said to offer health benefits because they contain vitamin K2.
Vitamin K2 has demonstrated positive effects in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, and this is probably the source of the myth that soy products may support strong bone formation.
While it is true that fermentation diminishes the anti-nutrient properties of soy, most soy products are subject to heavy processing.
As a result, commercially available soy products, such as soy sauce, are loaded with preservatives and other additives that can be harmful to one's health.
Unless you are absolutely sure that the soy products you consume have been sourced from non-GMO soybeans, it is best to steer clear of fermented soy products.
Besides, intensive manufacturing procedures and exposure to high heat shaves off much of the protein from soybeans, rendering most soy products lacking in nutrients or even toxic.
Soy industry bigwigs have put in a great deal of money to fund intensive marketing campaigns that have created the biggest misconception that soy is a rich source of essential protein.

"Why did my brother pick now for one of his reckless parties?" Lady Jane Blackmont asked.
"You know he needs no reason for what he does," Sara said.
"He's a duke, my lady. He needs no reason. The rest of the world is supposed to kowtow to his whims."
"Apparently I'm supposed to play hostess for him. Why he had to pick now is beyond me. Surely he knows there's a storm brewing." Jane's stomach churned as the carriage kept on. "What are we to do if we don't find a coaching inn? Or worse yet, get stuck on the side of the road?"
"I'm sure none of that will happen. We'll reach Blackmont Crest before you know it," her maid said.
She pulled back the curtains that had been closed to keep the cold out. "We're almost there," she said.
"How long will we be here?" Sara inquired.
Jane had never been away in this sort of weather. Her father would have never allowed it. He was gone, the dukedom left to her older brother, who thought everyone's life revolved around him.
"Do you know who's going to be at this house party?" Sara asked.
"His usual friends I'm sure. His letter stated he'd run into an old friend from Eton recently. I don't remember his name, nor do I care. All of Henry's friend's are rogues in some fashion."
"You never have been one to say no to His Grace, my lady."
Henry was one of her weak spots. He knew it and took full advantage of it now that there was only the two of them. Their parents had been killed in a freak carriage accident five years earlier, leaving Henry with the dukedom and Jane his faithful sister. Until he found a woman to marry, he needed someone to keep some edge of sanity to his ways. At least until he found his duchess to marry. If that'd ever happen.
"I know, but until he finds a wife, someone needs to see he doesn't go to hell."
"There must be some ladies of fine breeding attending if he's asking you to attend," Jane said.
"Who will be attending with their parents, I would hope."
"His Grace would never invite you to one of his stag parties," Sara mused.
Jane released a nervous laugh. "He'll not hear the end of it if he ever invites me to one of those."
Jane was about to close the curtain when one of the horses spooked. The carriage careened over the road. Ice had set in. Could the driver regain control of the team before something awful happened? She tried to breathe and forget how her parents had died. It couldn't happen to her. Jane looked across at Sara, whose face had gone stark white. She was scared beyond words as the carriage swayed, tumbling and landing on its side. She was the last person Jane saw before everything went black.
Jane didn't think she'd fainted. She looked around. Everything was covered in white snow, but the white was looking black as night. She felt in front of her and thought she felt the skirt of the dress Sara had been wearing.
It was silent. Everything was silent. No sound of the horses or the coachman. They were situated on the side of the carriage, that much she knew. The door was above her. She needed to get out and get out quickly.
She managed to stand, and with fumbling hands, she managed to get the door open. Now how would she get herself out? She heard nothing except the sound of Sara's breathing.
"Sara! Sara! Are you all right?"
"Yes, my lady. I think I am fine," came the faint reply.
"Do you think you can help lift me up?"
She heard rustling of fabric as her maid tried to reposition herself. "We're going to freeze to death if we don't get out of here," Sara wailed.
"Which is why I need you to help me up. I'm sure William is chasing the team."
As Sara began lifting Jane up through the door of the carriage, Jane noticed a large man standing in silhouette. He had dismounted his stallion and was shaking his head.
"I'm not sure. The last thing I remember is one of the horses being spooked and the carriage sliding across the road."
"I don't believe so. My maid is still inside. We need to get her out."
He shook his head. "You ladies have no business being out alone in weather like this."
"If you must know, we were on our way to my brother's estate."
"Who's your brother, if I might ask?" he rumbled.
"Henry Blackmont, the Duke of Blackmont."
"Henry's your brother? Well, don't fret. You're not but a few miles from his estate. Though in this storm, you ladies will be better off coming with me. I'm Norwood. My place is just down this road."
Jane stood and stared at him in the falling snow. "Norwood. The Earl of Norwood? I remember you."
"My man and I will help your maid out of the carriage. We'll get you to Norwood Manor. You can spend the night. My man will try and find your man and team, though in this snow, I doubt they'll go far."
Jane pondered her limited options. She knew she had no choice but to go with the earl. "Thank you, my lord," Jane replied.
"As for the carriage, I'm afraid there's nothing that can be done until this storm subsides."
"Can you get word to my brother? I would hate for him to worry needlessly."
"I'll see it is done, though it might have to wait until morning."
She stared at him thoughtfully. It'd been years since she'd seen him. His face was almost unrecognizable. With a hint of a beard, his jaw was chiseled. The beard, she surmised, made him look rugged.
Annoyed and cold, she helped him as he sprung Sara free from the carnage. She remembered why she never cared for him. He was an arrogant arse. Arrogant, condescending, and sanctimonious. That's what he was. What was it about young men who claimed their titles? They were all the same. Her brother, Norwood. It was enough to make her want to scream.
He brought his stallion around and picked her up effortlessly. He deposited her in front of his saddle.
"Is there anything you need?" he asked.
"My trunks, but I doubt that's possible right now."
"Once your team and man have been found, they'll figure a way to get them to my home."
She looked down at him in the fading light of the day. Prominent cheekbones, lush lashes, and full lips she hadn't noticed caught her breath. He was the most handsome, beautiful man she could recall ever meeting.
He mounted the beast, swinging his leg over the saddle. "Are you ready?"
"As ready as I'll ever be, I suppose."
Very lovely cover! I like the palette.

BY JASON RANTZ
The Jason Rantz Show, 3pm-7pm on KTTH
As American Jews cope with an alarming uptick in high profile anti-Semitic attacks across the country, a Seattle-area mosque featured a smiling imam comparing Jews to apes and pigs in a viciously anti-Semitic lecture in front of congregants, including children.
Just two weeks before the New Year, Imam Mohamad Joban of the Muslim Association of Puget Sound (MAPS) in Redmond delivered a lecture about the transformation of Jews into apes by Allah for having rebelled against Him.
The video was originally posted to YouTube by MAPS, but was pulled. The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), however, saved a cop of the video and posted an edited down version to their website.
In the lecture, Imam Joban recounts a little known story kept from the public because, he claims with a smile, "The Jews… any bad story there, they cover up. They always tell people: 'We are good people, we are heroes.'"
The story involves Jews setting fishing nets on the Friday before the Sabbath, then collecting the fish on Sunday. Imam Joban explains the Jews were punished for this behavior.
The imam then leads the congregation in a chant: "'Then, when they rebelled against the commands to refrain, We said to them, 'Be despicable apes.'" On a screen behind him, there's a picture of macaque monkeys.
When the transformed Jews woke up to find themselves as apes, Imam Joban lectures: "And they were crying. Why they crying? Because when they became monkey, they couldn't recognize one another. Which one [is] my wife? Which one [are] my children? How do you look like? You are monkeys. Monkey, original monkeys, they can recognize one another. But when you become monkey… Because you look like the same…"
As Imam Joban continued his lecture, he explained that some scholars believe Jews are still being punished for this behavior.
"When I was in Egypt, in the city called Ras El Bar, they said a baby was born," the Imam explained. "He had long hands, his face like monkey's."
He continued: "And then in Malaysia there was a baby born, in the state of Johor, and he had a tail. Everybody was surprised." The tail, he says with a giggle, "…was like that of a pig."
The apologies
A spokesperson for MAPS tells me that they're "extremely sorry" for the lecture they acknowledge as "offensive and inappropriate" and says "it violates not only our standards at MAPS but our Islamic teachings."
In a statement, MAPS says in part:
You deserve better from us. Even though we at MAPS strive to only teach religiously sound and culturally appropriate content, we are still always learning and growing. Some of the comments by Imam Joban were neither theologically sound nor culturally aware.
Imam Joban also apologized for the lecture, arguing Jews "should never have to hear that kind of commentary." He continued (in part):
Among other personal errors in telling this story to my class, I referred to conduct by "the Jews," when I should have referred to the specific people in the story. And I used improper imagery and language that is not based on any sound theology. I should know better, and should have provided a more appropriate explanation and proper language, tone and attitude
He makes no reference to the Jewish children he said looked like an ape or pig.
Neither apology appear posted on the MAPS website or Facebook page and both came several days after MEMRI published the lecture.
While MAPS is choosing to retain the Imam following the anti-Semitic lecture, they are "making this a teachable moment for him" with "cultural competency training in the coming weeks."
So, why was this lecture posted to YouTube when it contained very obvious anti-Semitic language? MAPS President Hyder Ali tells the Jason Rantz Show on KTTH in a statement that the videographer automatically uploaded the video before it was screened. Once they heard about the content, they pulled the lecture, plus several other videos that were never screened.
Ali explains that Imam Joban did not intend to cause offense, blaming "ad libbing" and "a language and cultural barrier" for some of the offensive conduct. He tells me (in part):
In this specific lecture that contained offensive commentary, MAPS believes Imam Joban was trying to bring to life a story from the Quran, and bolster support for it… while 'ad libbing' and not realizing how what he was saying was entirely inappropriate, theologically unsound, and offensive. Part of it could be a language and cultural barrier. But part of it was simply insensitivity to antisemitic tropes and the use of inappropriate embellishments that have no theological support (and in fact, contradict Islamic teachings). When the commentary was brought to Imam Joban's attention, he willingly apologized and expressed his desire to learn and grow. MAPS does not believe he had *any* intention to cause offense or harm. Nonetheless, we recognize that impact is greater than intent when it comes to these matters, and therefore, took swift action to try to alleviate the harm.
Though MAPS says the references are not culturally aware, there have been several high profile instances of Jews being labeled apes and pigs by Muslim clerics and a very similar story to the one Imam Joban told is very easy to find online. It seems hard to blame this language on ad libbing when it's an insult so commonly used.
Stand with Us Northwest, an advocacy group fighting anti-Semitism, condemned the lecture in a statement to the Jason Rantz Show.
"His sermon, now available forever on the Internet, is now catalogued among thousands of other videos from extremist preachers railing against Jews," executive director Randy Kessler writes of the imam.
"The apologies certainly contain helpful sentiments, but they are clearly an attempt at damage control after an embarrassing sermon," Kessler continued. "We call for the apologies to be followed by a sustained effort to transform MAPS' relationship with, and teachings about, the Jewish community. We are prepared to lend our support in good faith to these efforts."
The American Jewish Committee also condemned the imam's lecture.
"Imam Joban's sermon was a throwback to dangerous and ignorant stereotypes about Jews that have too often led and lead to deadly violence against Jews," Seattle Director Regina Sassoon Friedland tells the Jason Rantz Show on KTTH.
Seattle-area anti-Semitism isn't isolated
This region saw a number of alarming anti-Semitic events and hate crimes in 2019. And in many cases when Jews pushed back, were labeled bigots.
Anti-Israel Socialist city councilwoman Kshama Sawant co-hosted an anti-Semitic event promoting a conspiracy that Israel pretends to support the LGBTQ community as a means to hide human rights abuses against Palestinians. Sawant had previously defended terrorist organization Hamas.
After outcry by the Jewish community (and my radio show), MAPS hosted an event claiming Jews are falsely claiming bigotry as a means to spout their own Islamaphobia. MAPS executive director Aneelah Afzali participated in the panel and disagreed with my take. We debated it on air, which you can listen to here.
When I called a local candidate's endorsement by Linda Sarsour "problematic" since she's a noted anti-Semite, Crosscut's Lilly Ann Fowler leveled a vicious smear against me.
Orthodox Jewish Seattle Council candidate Ari Hoffman was a victim of anti-Semitic threats. Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan ignoring the attacks because, many believe, Hoffman is a conservative. Durkan was called out in an editorial by American Jewish Committee's Regina Sassoon for being silent about anti-Semitism.
So what's next for Imam Joban and MAPS? They will meet with area Jewish organizations and stakeholders to discuss the issue.
"We have reached out directly to many Jewish rabbis, community leaders, lay persons, and organizations, and directly shared the statements along with our sincere desire to work with them in what will inevitably be a long but hopefully productive process of reconciliation and growth," Ali explains.
It's unclear if MAPS will continue to earn the support of high profile local politicians, including Governor Jay Inslee, Attorney General Bob Ferguson, and Representatives Adam Smith and Pramila Jayapal, all whom have attended events there.
Here is Ali's full statement:
The video was automatically uploaded by the videographer who records the weekly class, without any kind of screening or review/approval process. MAPS removed the video as soon as we heard about it – along with all other videos for the weekly lectures that had been uploaded without being screened and approved. As part of MAPS' learning from this experience, we will be providing additional training and screening of all speakers (and videos) at MAPS to ensure proper teachings.
Imam Joban knows – and has talked about – the strong respect that the Quran expresses for the "People of the Book" (i.e., Jews and Christians), as well as the positive relationships that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) established with the Jewish community and the lessons he taught. For example, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) married a Jewish woman; he called out his family members who spoke negatively about a Jewish woman; he stood in honor and respect when a funeral procession passed him, and when asked why he did so since the person who passed away was Jewish, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasized that the person was a human being. He further even proclaimed: "He who wrongs a Jew or a Christian will have myself as their accuser [for their wrongdoing] on the Day of Judgement." (Al-Bukhari)
Imam Joban himself has shared stories and teachings that show due respect and regard for our Jewish siblings, among others. He has strong positive relationships with Jewish rabbis and other community leaders. In this specific lecture that contained offensive commentary, MAPS believes Imam Joban was trying to bring to life a story from the Quran, and bolster support for it… while "ad libbing" and not realizing how what he was saying was entirely inappropriate, theologically unsound, and offensive. Part of it could be a language and cultural barrier. But part of it was simply insensitivity to antisemitic tropes and the use of inappropriate embellishments that have no theological support (and in fact, contradict Islamic teachings). When the commentary was brought to Imam Joban's attention, he willingly apologized and expressed his desire to learn and grow. MAPS does not believe he had *any* intention to cause offense or harm. Nonetheless, we recognize that impact is greater than intent when it comes to these matters, and therefore, took swift action to try to alleviate the harm.
Given the trainings we are planning with Imam Joban and other MAPS leaders, along with the meetings we are planning with the Jewish community, we are hopeful that we can turn this into a teachable moment, and come out stronger – as a mosque, as a MAPS community, and in our interfaith relationships, including with our Jewish family. We have reached out directly to many Jewish rabbis, community leaders, lay persons, and organizations, and directly shared the statements along with our sincere desire to work with them in what will inevitably be a long but hopefully productive process of reconciliation and growth. Many of those Jewish rabbis, leaders, individuals, and organizations have responded positively to the swift action MAPS took in response to this instance, along with the responsibility we assumed and our proposal to take concrete action to alleviate the harm, increase understanding, and improve relationships.
We are further exploring what other internal and external actions we can take to fully address this situation, including with Imam Joban.

Pep Guardiola has declared Barcelona need four more points to secure the La Liga title as his side prepares to face cross-town rivals Espanyol.Barcelona lead second-placed Real Madrid by eight points with four matches remaining.
A loss for Real against Sevilla on Saturday could mean Barcelona could claim the title with a win against Espanyol on Sunday, but Guardiola said he was not focusing on other results.
"I think we have four points to make. It doesn't matter what our rivals do. It is about us," Guardiola said.
Guardiola said they would continue to treat every match as a must-win as they prepare for their Champions League final showdown with Manchester United at the end of the month.
"If we get complacent there is a risk of losing concentration and we face not being ready for the final on May 28," Guardiola said.

CapitolFax blogger cries foul over interview for anti-Madigan documentary
SPRINGFIELD - CapitolFax blogger Rich Miller says he was "duped" into participating in a documentary that he learned only yesterday is financially backed by the Illinois Policy Action - which, he believes, means the film is certain to be anti-Madigan.
"I had no idea that the Illinois Policy Institute was behind this thing, but I did get a couple of hints during Tuesday's interview when some of the group's stories were used as a basis for a few of their questions," Miller wrote on his blog Thursday. "They also asked me about Rauschenberger, which I thought was kinda odd. So, I have no clue what they're gonna do with my interview. Sigh..."
Miller, who is invited to private events hosted by high level Republicans as well as Democrats, is walking a tightrope in order to not offend his insider scoop sources on both sides of the aisle.
The documentary that created all the furor drew attention Thursday when the Illinois Policy Institute distributed a press release about the anti-Madigan film scheduled to be released in October.
Rich Miller's name was used in the teaser as one of those interviewed:
The 60-minute documentary boasts an impressive lineup of interviews from prominent political and media figures in Illinois, including Chicago Tribune columnist John Kass, University of Illinois professor and political observer Dick Simpson, former Illinois Senate President Emil Jones, law professor and former drafter of the 1970 Illinois Constitution Ann Lousin, former state Sen. Steve Rauschenberger, Rob Blagojevich who is the brother of former Gov. Rod Blagojevich, political blogger Rich Miller and others.
Illinois Policy Action released the trailer Thursday for the upcoming documentary entitled "Madigan: Power, Privilege, Politics." Described as an "informational documentary" the film is to take "an unprecedented look at the life and influence of Illinois House Speaker Michael J. Madigan, one of the state's most powerful political figures of all time."
The press releases goes on to say that Illinois is one of only 14 states without term limits, and the documentary's purpose is to highlight the influence an officeholder can wield in the absence of term limits.
"Madigan is the longest-serving House Speaker in Illinois history and in the nation currently," Illinois Policy Action writes. "Madigan became an Illinois legislator in 1971 and has been Speaker of the House in Illinois for all but two years since 1983. During the time Madigan has been Speaker, Illinois has had six different governors, more than 200 state senators and more than 500 state representatives."
Miller's blog devotees expressed their outrage with how Miller had been misled by the producers. Miller said the invitation seemed harmless enough.
Emergent Order, based out of Austin TX is trying to create a dialogue about why the state of Illinois is in poor shape. Many fingers have been pointed at Michael Madigan, but we're trying to do a fair/balanced piece about what's really at the center of it all. We've interviewed both people who support and dispute that Madigan is to blame. Interested in your take on that and any other relevant info you'd be willing to contribute.
But here's the trailer - fair and balanced?
Or perhaps a needed scalding of Illinois' powers that be? What do you think?
