Conspiracy Nation -- Vol. 9 Num. 88 ====================================== ("Quid coniuratio est?") ----------------------------------------------------------------- P O T P O U R R I ================= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Merry Christmas! First allow me to wish the best to all during this holiday season. I have made many friends through this effort and I wish you all the best for Christmas and the new year. Two things: (1) Drive carefully; some drive a bit crazier than usual during the holidays. (2) Watch out for Clinton and/or the government to do something sneaky and rotten just when they figure you aren't paying attention. A conspiracy angle on Christmas is Santa, whose name is an anagram for "Satan." Santa, the material god, opposes the Christian God at this time of year. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Eugene Izzi, the mystery writer found hanged under mysterious circumstances (see CN 9.87) was not black, as I erroneously had reported. The mistake was mine and not Sherman Skolnick's. I regret the error. Also, regarding the Izzi story, Sherman Skolnick is anxious to contact any mystery writers who wish to talk on the subject. Phone him at 773-375-5741 and tell him that "Brian sent you." If you are a mystery writer and either live in the Chicago area or will be there around January, Mr. Skolnick may want you to appear as a guest on his television program. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- The CPI Fraud (Excerpts from New Federalist, 12/16/96): "A government panel has just come out to recommend reducing the calculation of the CPI [Consumer Price Index], declaring that it has been overvalued by approximately one-third. On the basis of this admittedly impossible to elaborate calculation, this panel proposes that all government payrolls and taxes, which are figured on the basis of a cost-of-living index, be refigured to presume a lower level of inflation. Right off the bat, this would cut the income of all pensioners, veterans, and government workers, while raising income tax brackets for millions more. And what is the basis for this decision? The professional economists find it very hard to explain, and, in fact, they frequently admit these days that "no one" really understands what causes economic growth, or inflation, or other such mysteries. One element of the figuring is the alleged increase in quality of goods produced these days, in such ways as the decreased pollutants in gasoline! As if that quality, even if it were there, which it often is not, meant that the product costs any less, relative to your income. The reality is, that the whole proposal is a gigantic swindle, an attempt to steal a little bit from a lot of people, with the stroke of a pen. They figure the elderly won't scream, nor the veterans, nor the labor movement. After all, if the economic "experts" tell you that your living standard has actually been improving, who are you to argue? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Rev. Sun-Moon Competes With "The Potato." False god Rev. Sun-Moon, with his flock of worshippers, could pose a challenge to that man I call "the Potato," i.e. the Pope. Both claim some sort of divine infallibility and the rush is on to see which can gather more revenue-enhancers into their organization. Ties between ex-President George Bush and the "Moonies" were examined in the Dec. 2, 1996 issue of "Si," a Peruvian newsmagazine, as reported in the LaRouche newspaper, New Federalist, of Dec. 9, 1996. (But who will report on the LaRouche organization's ties to the Catholic Church?) Says New Federalist: "The article [in "Si" magazine], which nailed Bush as frontman for the Rev. Moon's big move into Ibero-America -- where the Moonies own everything from shipyards to luxury hotels and newspapers -- noted that Moon took over Uruguay's Banco de Credito, and that he could very well do the same with Peru's Interbank. From the Jewish or Christian standpoint, Moon is a blasphemer who purports to be the Messiah; who strongly hints that Jesus was the illegitimate offspring of an adulterous relationship between the Virgin Mary and Zachariah, husband to her cousin Elizabeth; and who says that Jesus was crucified because He failed in His mission, by siding with the poor." -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- More on the Commerce Department employee found dead in her office, from RMNews (November 1996 issue, phone 408-699-4135 for more info). Quoting from the Nov. 30, 1996 *Shreveport Times*, "Government Worker Found Dead In Office": A Commerce Department employee was found dead in her fourth floor office at the agency's downtown headquarters on Friday (November 29th). The 48 year old, a secretary for about 14 years, had worked for the department's international trade administration. And, an RMNews reader asks, [Who was] wandering the halls of the Department of Commerce between Wednesday afternoon, November 27th, when the unnamed Commerce victim was last seen alive; and Friday, November 29, when her "partially nude" body was discovered? Is it worthy to note that Commerce offices were closed for Thanksgiving? Did the Commerce Department international trade administration, in which the victim had worked for 14 years, have any connection with John Huang and the current DNC money scandal? RMNews itself adds that, Rumor Mill sources tell us that the dead woman was Barbara Wiese(sp?). She was the assistant to Mickey Kantor, the Secretary of Commerce. In other words, this dead woman wasn't a lowly secretary. This woman had worked in a high level Commerce position for 14 years, and the story barely makes two paragraphs! It feels like a coverup to me. RMNews sources further state that she was a grand jury witness against Bill Clinton. If this is true, then Kenneth Starr needs to do more to keep his witnesses alive! Her partially nude body was discovered in a *locked* *room*! Eye witnesses have told our sources that there were bruises on her body. No cause of death has been released.
