TUE., NOVEMBER 16, 1993
CONFIRMATIONS AND SICK HUMOR
Let's share some items of noteworthy consideration. World shaking? Not any more, for both items cover the "usual" order of things these days--along with $800 toilet seats in the military. However these things do release a bit of tensions in their incredible reality which is usually rewarded by humor. We thank whoever sent these items "for our interest" because of the heaviness of our usual presentations. This is equally as serious, readers, but these items are so accepted these days that there are only resultant chuckles.
IRS' OWN AUDIT FINDS ITS BOOKS
ARE WAY OFF
Washington Post (No dateline is available, but within the week of Nov. 7, 1993). WASHINGTON--The Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which has made many an American anxious over an audit, recently underwent a comprehensive audit of its own
--its first.
Among the findings of the General Accounting Office:
*A video display terminal costing $752 was valued in IRS inventory records at $5.6 MILLION.
*The department paid $36,000 for a maintenance contract for a minicomputer that had been idle for three years.
*Thirty-two duplicate payments and overpayments worth $500,000 were found in a review of 280 payments to vendors, and 112 payments totaling $17.2 MILLION lacked complete supporting documentation.
The IRS examples are but a small slice of one of the federal government's most serious problems: financial books that are out of whack, perhaps by tens of billions of dollars.
Unlike America's major companies or even the keeper of the family checkbook, most federal agencies have trouble tracking where money is being spent and cannot produce error-free financial statements, the GAO contends. [H: Perhaps as with the Federal Reserve and other offices which are NOT actually federal agencies, the IRS has gotten away with being simply a contractual private corporation doing business OUTSIDE of the federal guidelines? How much likelihood of recovery, friends?]
Previous GAO audits found more than $200 billion in accounting errors by the Army and Air Force, more than $500 million worth of errors in NASA financial statements and record-keeping troubles at the State Department and Department of Veterans Affairs.
GAO's report on the financial management problems at IRS was discussed at a Senate Governmental Affairs Committee hearing earlier this month. It was dominated by concerns about the disclosure that taxpayer privacy had been compromised by an internal breakdown in computer security.
In his remarks, committee Chairman John Glenn [H: Keating five insider. Perhaps it is not so unexpected that anyone who could participate in the LIES surrounding the Space Program would also participate in other rip-offs of the American public like pay-offs and undercover dealings with S&Ls], D-Ohio, said there should be no double standard when it comes to financial management. "Americans should not put up with an IRS that makes demands on them which it cannot meet itself", he said.
The committee's ranking Republican, William Roth of Delaware, said, "It never fails to amaze me. If private industry kept its accounts like we do in government, they'd be in jail...". It's just unbelievable that in 1993 we have records that are totally inadequate.
As with many of the bureaucracy's problems, there seems to be no single answer to why much of the government's financial records are unreliable. There are hundreds of different accounting systems used in the government, with some agencies operating on more than one system.
Charles Bowsher, the comptroller general and head of the GAO, in testimony before Glenn's committee, urged President Clinton to make financial management a high priority.
"In my view, the success of financial management reform is critical to any effort to reinvent government," Bowsher said.
In his prepared remarks, Bowsher pushed for full implementation of the Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990, which seeks to overhaul government financial management policy.
The internal revenue commissioner, Margaret Milner Richardson, told Glenn's committee that the IRS is undergoing "a major reorganization" that included consolidating financial management programs under the agency's chief financial officer. She pointed out that the IRS also had hired a controller [comptroller?]
with 20 years of financial management experience.
IRS computers are outdated, and Richardson testified that the agency's tax systems modernization project should help provide better information about revenues collected, taxes owed and the status of seized assets. Interim steps to improve IRS accounting and budgeting systems will be made while modernization is implemented. The project is scheduled for completion in the next decade at an estimated cost of
$23 BILLION, GAO figures show. [H: Plan 2000 in action!]
Perhaps most importantly, Richardson testified, "We have begun to change the corporate culture, one which traditionally, like much of the federal government, did not emphasize financial management".
We are not sure from where came the next article but it matters not, the time frame is the same as above and may possibly be also from the Washington Post. It is, however, from a King Features Syndicate, (Dale Dauten, The Corporate Curmudgeon).
THROUGH OVERBILLING, LAWYERS REWARD
THEMSELVES LAVISHLY FOR INEFFICIENCY
"One lawyer with a briefcase can steal more than a thousand men with guns". (Mario Puzo)
Dale Dauten: The other day I was talking with a woman as we waited for a lunch meeting to begin. A loud fellow came up to us and said, "I've got two new jokes. Which one do you want to hear, the Polish joke or the lawyer joke"? The woman replied, "Oh, the lawyer joke--I like Polish people".
As I thought about that remark, I realized that not only do I like Polish people,
I like lawyer people. When lawyers aren't being lawyers, they are marvelous companions--quick-witted, articulate and well-read.
Everyone knows Shakespeare's line about killing all the lawyers, but how many remember Dickens' line, "If there were no bad people there would be no good lawyers"? It wasn't attorneys putting syringes in those Pepsi cans. Criticizing lawyers for lawsuits is like criticizing linebackers for knocking people down. It's what they get paid to do.
The problem is, of course, our legal system. You have probably read and heard plenty about tort reform and I won't go into it here. But there's one hole in our legal system that I had not considered until this past week: legal bills.
Last week I met an engaging attorney, Alan Liebowitz, who heads a company that audits bills from law firms. As Liebowitz told me, "I can think of no other business where you are rewarded for inefficiency. No matter what you sell, the fewer hours of labor that go into the product, the more you make. With lawyers it's backwards--the more time you take, the more inefficient you are, the greater your profit".
So Liebowitz formed Legal Expense Reduction Specialists, Inc., headquartered in Phoenix. He showed me two of his reports: one was an $800,000 bill where he questioned $400,000; another was a bill for $120,000, with $40,000 in dubious charges.
The items that Liebowitz challenged ranged from picayune (a $49 charge for file folders) to exasperating ($12,000 in charges for a senior partner whose only contribution to the project was meeting with the client prospecting for more work for the law firm).
Here are some of the items he's recently encountered in other audits:
*An Orlando firm that charged its client in quarter-hour increments. Most law firms use tenths of an hour. So if the attorney made a quick phone call--two minutes, say--the client was charged one-quarter hour instead of one-tenth, 15 minutes instead of six. Since the Orlando firm was billing at $245 per hour, such a call would cost $61.25 instead of $24.50.
*An attorney invited his client out to lunch, then buried in a large legal bill a charge for three hours of the attorney's time, plus the restaurant tab.
*A firm in Tucson charged $2 per page for sending a local fax and $3 a page for an out-of-town fax. That might be OK, but when the firm sent an out-of-town fax it already added the cost of the long-distance phone charge.
* Finally, there was the lawyer who took a vacation to France in the middle of a case. He brought in another attorney to cover a deposition for him. In addition to the time for the deposition, he charged the client 4.7 hours for the new attorney to familiarize himself with the case, plus 1.2 hours to fill in the original lawyer on what happened in his absence.
Why would attorneys do these lousy things to their own clients? Because they can get away with it. And the history of "getting away with it" is what attorneys are paid to know--centuries of legal history, written in tenths of an hour.
* * *
Well, I told you up front it wasn't REALLY funny!
I realize that there are many questions uppermost this morning which would find answers except that those responses can wait. This is Tuesday which means a full week prior to the next CONTACT publication so it would be better to handle updates differently and allow for some update comments later in the week. For instance to comment on the general condition of, say, Gunther Russbacher following a quintuple bypass operation yesterday is untimely because things change from moment to moment. The point is to hold the goal and keep up the pressure on the controllers without letup and we'll do our best to give updated information on the phone and as we go next, say, Sunday or Monday, to press.
The same with NAFTA. To comment greatly on the matter today is useless. But you might take note, Californians, that the "earthquake alert" under way is TOTALLY CONNECTED TO THE NAFTA VOTING. If an earthquake is necessary to pull out the California representatives it would swing the vote balance. These are DISTRACTORS OF INTENTIONAL MAGNITUDE.
I repeat: "What happens if NAFTA doesn't pass this vote"? Nothing really--it just goes on to the next and the next ad infinitum vote. IF, however, IT IS VOTED "IN"--IT IS OVER FOR YOU--THE ELITE ONE WORLD ORDER TAKES POSSESSION AND CONTROLLERS ARE APPOINTED AND YOUR U.S. SOVEREIGNTY IS GONE! All of this, however, is beside the point in our writings of today--because commentary comes--but predicting and fortune-telling is stupid and is used to misdirect the people. Can the ultimate PLAN be thwarted? Not at the rate you are going and NAFTA will give you great insight to possibilities. IF IT PASSES, which it most likely will--you had better turn full attention to GETTING THROUGH the next segments of time while the world goes into a terrible time in birthing of the total New World Order. It does not mean total failure--it DOES MEAN THAT YOU MUST TURN FULL ATTENTION TO GETTING THROUGH THE TIME UNTIL A REBIRTHING OF THE "TRUE" NEW WORLD ORDER CAN COME ABOUT.
Perhaps Will Loy hits it most closely in the "Prophecy" department. He foresees that the world is now moving toward at least six hundred years of "Dark Ages". I see that you seem to be moving in that direction far more rapidly than possibilities of stopping that event are evolving.
I would offer a paragraph from Loy: "The trick is getting through the coming "terrible" times to the "good" times. I believe we should "mentally dig in" and wait out the coming changes. Also, we should not let the coming changes scare us into anything stupid or silly. The bad guys are NOT going to win in the end!..."
More than that, readers, you must realize now: THE REAL CONTENDERS IN THE GAME AT THIS TIME ARE BOTH GROUPS OF THE SAME GOD SERVERS (EVIL) AGAINST THEMSELVES--DUELING FOR THE ULTIMATE PHYSICAL PROPERTY POWER. Further, they will cause the masses to divide and destroy themselves according to the brainwashing requirements
--while they stay in the safety of their own feathered nests. The final confrontation between GOD and Satan WILL BE A REAL DANDY, READERS, AND "MAN" IS SIMPLY IN THE PROCESS OF BEING SORTED--GOD WILL WIN!
It is so unfortunate that you ones fail to see these divisions so that you can more reasonably recognize the enemy. For instance, you can probably look at a symbol recognized as a pentagram and connect it with the "dark side"--but you don't seem to see what is in the Christian Religions' Cult symbols. Let us look at the "fish and the cross" symbol of "Christianity". What does THAT symbol really represent? Picture with me the typical Christian symbol of the fish and transpose that fish with a cross with the standard upright through the middle of the fish with the crossarms above. What can that mean?
It MEANS that the "symbol" of "Christ" is intersected by a PHYSICAL ACTION AND CONCEPT INTO TWO PARTS--ONE NOW OPPOSING THE OTHER. The concept represented by the symbol of the fish was the "emotional" recognition of a "state of being"--"in Christ". The cross represents the death in flesh by crucifixion of a MAN--physical. All these symbols relate to the human physical presentation of a man (never mind the NAME). Now you have a division of great opposition created by the physical versus the energy (Spiritual) of intent. So, to whom (which) does man claim religious identity? VERY FEW LONGER CLAIM SPIRITUAL "ONLY" IDENTITY TO A CHRISTED STATE OF BEING--IN GOD"NESS" (GOODNESS). MAN HAS SWITCHED TO THE PHYSICAL EXPRESSION UPON WHICH TO BASE HIS "RELIGIOUS" BELIEFS--A PHYSICAL CROSS, BLOOD (OF JESUS), BORN AGAIN (REPRESENTING INTO FLESH) AND THUS AND SO.
Further, the symbols drawn on physical paper with physical hands--sends meaning to other physical persons. God doesn't need symbols nor does one man need to identify himself save through "actions" to any other man. To sign these signatures indicates a membership in some kind of "club" and albeit "nice" perhaps--it indicates the full allegiance to the physical idea of human physical man--not spiritual ALLNESS within the highest expression of the meaning of God and/OR MAN.
So what am I really saying? BEWARE of the symbols and the persons behind those symbols--for they are of MAN and NOT GOD--GOD DOES HIS OWN MARKING AND IT IS NOT A FOOLISH FISH OR CROSS! If I, for instance, wanted to "fool" you and get you into believing me vs. anyone else--would it not be easier for me to claim goodness, use all the good signs, denounce all the bad signs and have you just see the symbols which would indicate a brotherhood with the Elite Goodie-Two‑Shoes?
Why don't I put symbols all over our paper? Couldn't I sprinkle it with crosses, stars, ships and pyramids with all-seeing eyes? Why wouldn't I at least sign the paper with the "fish" so you could tell my intent? Because that is the FIRST AND BEST WAY to KNOW that the man is doing that to gain your confidence in what he has just told you or shown you--I NEED NO PROOF--TRUTH WILL STAND ALL ALONE WITHOUT SYMBOLS OR PROVINGS EXCEPT BY ITS OWN MERIT.
As a matter of fact, the placement of these symbols are clues and signs to other members of the evil adversary's crew--the so-called enemy KNOWS these people who must sign their work with such symbols are NO THREAT TO THE TRUTH IN ANY WAY--FOR THEY HAVE THE WRONG ANSWERS. THEY MAY GET IN ARMS WITH EACH OTHER OVER JEW-VS. NON-JEW--BUT THEY KNOW THAT THE SYMBOL USED REPRESENTS AN ALREADY DISINFORMATIONED MISINFORMATION GIVER AND NO THREAT TO THE CAUSE OF SATAN.
Don't those signs indicate anything positive? Well, that depends on YOUR interpretation of "positive". It does establish that the user is somehow wishing to project (with the fish/cross) an opposition to the anti-christ (Jew)--without bothering to investigate the TRUTH in either instance. It represents an affiliation with a "club" as I said above. It is up to YOU to get informed and discern. Do not take ME for the symbols I might draw on a paper--JUDGE MY ACTIONS AND THE TRUTH THAT I BRING. Are there contradictions in my presentations? Yes, because I am working in two worlds of expression and I am required to utilize that which is manifest and that which is manifest is so tampered and manipulated that it is difficult to express properly--YOU EVEN CHANGE THE MEANINGS OF YOUR WORDS TO THE POINT THAT ONE "OLD" EXPRESSION MEANING ONE THING, I.E., "HOLOCAUST" NO LONGER MEANS WHAT IT DID ORIGINALLY. I am sent as a messenger--I am not sitting at the right hand of the God-throne in never-never land
--I am sent to the trenches along with you! Could I give you a symbol, say, of something like "life" that you could recognize? Yes, but unfortunately it would resemble a symbol TAKEN BY THE ADVERSARY and it would immediately conjure evil response recognition--just as does the Swastika, the SAME SIGN WITH "FLAGS" OPPOSITE, WHICH REPRESENTS "LIFE" IN THE ORIGINAL PEOPLE'S (INDIANS) SYMBOLOGY--HAS BEEN CAUSED TO REPRESENT "NAZI" IN YOUR PERCEPTION TODAY. EVIL WILL ALWAYS ASSUME THE SYMBOLS OF GOODNESS TO FOOL YOU--SATAN IS THE MASTER OF DECEIT AND HOW BETTER TO "GETCHA" THAN WITH THAT WHICH YOU TRUST AND WORSHIP?
So, what can you do in these matters of contradictions? Observe EVERY move and every word. If a story is changed, say three times, you KNOW that, as with George Green, the TRUTH CAN ONLY BE IN ONE--OR NONE.
Further, you can analyze (from all the FACTS you can gather and research) what a given person has to GAIN or LOSE in physical property IN ANY GIVEN TRANSACTION OR ACCUSATION--IN ANY ENCOUNTER.
Again an example: What does George Green have to GAIN by pushing the Institute into receivership where everyone else involved on the side of the Institute--loses?
His lawyers will get a MINIMUM of 26% of EVERYTHING; HE WILL NEVER HAVE TO PAY BACK THE NEARLY $200,000 HE "BORROWED" FROM THE INSTITUTE; HE WILL KEEP ALL ASSETS SUCH AS GOLD IN THE NEVADA COURT RATHER THAN RETURN IT TO MR. OVERTON; HE HAS THE INVENTORY--AND ABOVE ALL, HIS GREEDY EGO WILL BE FED ITS CARRION "BLOOD OF THE INNOCENTS". He would dress his lady in finery, get champagne and celebrate his "win" at the cost of EVERY other person involved. And indeed, yes, he is typical of those who would sign a paper with a fish divided by a cross! BEWARE those who speak with forked tongue with each branch speaking a different "truth" for in NEITHER will be truth. Am I being hard on "poor" George Green? I certainly do hope so. His ACTIONS cause me to Judge that which he has presented and done and cause me to discern that he is likely, in this physical presentation of recognitions, both a thief and a liar. Do I condemn him for same? It depends upon that which you define as "condemn"
--I have no interest in the poor foolish actor on this stage of illusion. I do, however, denounce his actions as abhorrent, deceitful with deliberate intent to bring great pain and loss upon myriads of people. The LEAST of which are Ekkers--THEY HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE! THEY HAVE NOT BEEN LEFT WITH A SHRED OF PROPERTY--SO LOSS OF PROPERTY IS NOT EVEN IN CONSIDERATION--BUT YOUR PROPERTY IS VERY MUCH IN THEIR CONSIDERATION.
As Greens left this location, Desiree asked me personally in a meeting: "Can't we serve elsewhere"? George interrupted and said to her, "Of course we can". Well, I was not so gentle--I said: "YES--BUT YOU WON'T". I also told her she would face the most magnificent problems and disappointments ever to come upon her. I further told others that it would end the marriage unless both could come within the fold of evil intent.
I guess you will have to discern for selves which happened. She either believes George OR she knows of that which she aids and abets!
"But," you ask, "aren't you going to do something about it--I have some involvement with that Institute and I object to what is going on!?!". Why would "I" do something? You may wish to do something--but all "I" have to do is wait for those in his circle of involvement to realize how badly they have been misled and wait for him to devour himself in his attempts to make the selfish gains for self. But how can YOU know? Check it out. George told one person that he sat and "watched E.J. gloat as he counted the loot" (the Overton gold) while the story in court was that he "never opened the boxes [of gold]" AND produced unopened boxes to the court--supposedly never having been opened--but it seems someone should open them--perhaps they have lead weights in them! Further he has said that he has "a" letter from Overton giving the whole of the gold to him and Desiree for "mortgage" payment or "anything" (even personal store bills). Then he says he has FIVE such letters. He says E.J. knew all about the gold all along. Then he says he did not tell E.J. because he needed to make sure he had backup for himself (his security buffer, he calls it). Then he told others that it was Ekker's gold from the beginning and that "he" bought it from them for some $400,000 dollars. Then, he said he paid them (Ekkers) in itemized check amounts which others even presented to the "Welfare Department" to somehow "prove" fraud by Ekkers. He then said he "bought the gold from himself'"! Now, readers, he did not just tell one person--he has told "everybody" (his words) these stories until he doesn't do a good job of remembering to whom he said what. There are dozens of like stories to this one--regarding every separate item under subject. No, readers, "I" don't need to do anything--BUT I SUGGEST SOME OF YOU WHO HAVE INTEREST DO TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR SELVES AND PUT A STOP TO THIS BECAUSE THIS MAN IS UNSTABLE AND FULLY INTENDS TO TAKE YOUR ASSETS, WHOMEVER YOU MAY BE!
There is nothing here that cannot be shown--but there is PRIVACY, as promised to anyone who would participate in any way--so accountability is ONE THING--receivership and FORCED BANKRUPTCY is quite another--you can get information in the former--great LOSS in the latter two instances. Why would receivership cause loss? BECAUSE: GEORGE GREEN HAS TOLD "EVERYBODY" THAT RECEIVERSHIP WILL CAUSE LIQUIDATION OF THE INSTITUTE AND ALL ITS HOLDINGS. You don't have to be an economic genius to understand this,
Do you?
I suggest you look beyond the neat "survival" thrust and "Godly" piousness as you listen to this man--AND PLEASE, LOOK BEYOND THE "DIVIDED FISH" BECAUSE THAT CROSS DIVIDING THE DEAD FISH--IS BEING DRIVEN RIGHT THROUGH YOUR HEART. GREEN (AND CREW) HAS FULL INTENT TO CLOSE THE PAPER, THE JOURNALS, TAKE THE PROPERTY FOR SELF, KEEP THE PROPERTY HE HAS ALREADY THIEVED AND DESTROY ALL PROJECTS UNDERWAY--AND WEAR THE NEW BANNER OF "CULT BUSTER".
Let us close this as it is up to you to attend that which is "yours". We will come back to Iron Curtain Over America because "that" is where you ARE and these other things are important but greater attention must be turned to that which affects the most of you.
Norman (Florida), thank you for the offering you shared. I ask that it be run in the paper--for Ekkers understand that you of the crew are staunch and unbending--but the heart grows weary with the constancy of the ongoing battles.
I want all of you who share with us, this work and this journey into the battle of all "time", that each of you are precious and CHOSEN--not by a Space Cadet with or without wings--BUT BY GOD OF HOLY LIGHT AND THE BLESSINGS OF ONE ARE THE BLESSINGS OF US ALL. YOU NEED NO GROUPS--YOU HAVE COMMUNITY. I SALUTE YOU.

NAFTA ADVERTISING
I hope that you ones will recall, as you read this, the massive advertising campaign regarding NAFTA--from the Government and Administration. I, further, ask you to NOTE--the larger number of major advertising spreads and hoopla of "who is for NAFTA" is invariably listing as number 1: HENRY KISSINGER! I SUGGEST YOU HOLD THAT IN YOUR MIND AS THE DAYS, WEEKS AND MONTHS PASS.
MIND IS ALL
Mind is the Master power that molds and makes,
And Man is Mind, and evermore he takes
The tool of Thought, and, shaping what he wills,
Brings forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills:--
He thinks in secret, and it comes to pass:
Environment is but his looking-glass.
Therefore, may you always be in utilization of that wondrous gift that you not find yourself "wanting" when all you have is that tool for your growth and, perhaps, survival.
CRYSTAL LIFE AND MERKL
We are saddened this day to hear, not yet confirmed, that our friend George MERKL has been taken to court for that which he claims Crystal Life and Chondriana will "cure".
If you REFUSE to accept truth beyond that which you "think you know"--you are destined to be a pawn in the game of the Elite.
Worse for George MERKL is that when George Green set out to discredit the gifts of the Hosts--he spread some totally erroneous information about "product"--"thinking", somehow, that it was "Ekkers" production. No--ALL of that which he had scanned, belittled and targeted--WAS GEORGE MERKL'S CRYSTAL LIFE, CHONDRIANA, ETC. George MERKL then got on the bandwagon of discrediting that which our team makes available and, thusly, through various claims, relying on what he thought were "friends" in the FDA--has undoubtedly done this to himself. In actuality, that which he declared as "swamp water" was his own product! I would hope this is simply a false alarm rumor but I would assume that it is not. For one main reason--great results have been acclaimed in Mexico--and today, as you move into open borders--the assault against you will extend from "pole to pole".
We can surround your mid-belt [equator] and hold the planet from slipping for whatever allotted time allowed us--BUT, we cannot seem to stop the tongue slippage from you against your‑selves! So be it.
If YOU are making claims of cure, healing, etc., from Gaiandriana--PLEASE STOP DOING SO. If it is assisting YOU IN HEALING SELF--God be praised, not the product--or ye shall be deprived shortly of God's product. Besides, in TRUTH--the product does nothing--YOU do the work, the substance is nothing. In fact there is nothing in "water" which "cures"--IT IS WHAT YOU DO TO UTILIZE THAT WATER WHICH HAS HEALING OR LIFE-PRODUCING QUALITIES. KEEP IT UPPERMOST IN MIND AND YOU SHALL HAVE THAT 'WHICH YOU NEED FOR ASSISTANCE.
I promised Dharma that we would move directly into our work this morning for pressures are heavy on her alternative "time" and many readers object loudly to personal commentary and our method of correspondence with our family. Those who complain do not yet seem to realize that this IS our method of communication--not a newspaper to be considered as the New York Times or even a Spotlight. Let us refer to the JOURNALS as regular education texts and you will be more nearly correct in definition of our work. We are not in the intention of being a tabloid of sensational exposés--if that is what is seen, then ones are missing the point of the material. It may well be sensational and exposing of undercover activities--but sensationalism is not the point--TRUTH is the point, along with communication among our "readers".
Let us continue directly into continuation of Iron Curtain Over America [FROM CHAPTER 9] (AN EXPOSE--BUT ONE OF SOME TWO DECADES PAST!).
IRON CURTAIN OVER AMERICA, By John Beaty. Omni Publications, P.O. Box 900566, Palmdale, CA 93590.
We had just spoken on the subject of Motion Picture films and censorship--and--misinformation. We will take up, in moving along, BOOKS.
(c): BOOKS
Censorship in the field of books is even more significant than in periodicals, motion pictures, and radio (not here considered), and a somewhat more extended discussion is imperative.
With reference to new books, a feature article, "Why You Buy Books That Sell Communism" by Irene Corbally Kuhn in the American Legion Magazine for January, 1951, shows how writers on the staffs of two widely circulated New York book review supplements are influential in controlling America's book business. To school principals, teachers, librarians, women's clubs--indeed to parents and all other Americans interested in children, who will be the next generation--this article is necessary reading. It should be ordered and studied in full and will accordingly not be analyzed here.
Dealing in more detail with books in one specific field, the China theater, where our wrong policies have cost so many young American lives, is an article entitled "The Gravediggers of America, Part I", The Book Reviewers Sell Out China, by Ralph de Toledano (The American Mercury, July, 1951, pp.72- 78. See also Part II in the August issue.) Mr. de Toledano explains that America's China policy--whether by coincidence or as "part of a sharply conceived and shrewdly carried out plan"--has led to the fact that "China is Russia's." Mr. de Toledano then turns his attention to the State Department:
Meanwhile the real lobby--the four-plus propagandists of a pro-
Communist line in Asia--prospered. Its stooges were able to seize such a stranglehold on the State Department's Far Eastern division that, to this day, as we slug it out with the Chinese Reds, they are still unbudgeable. Working devotedly at their side has been a book-writing and book-reviewing cabal.
With regard to books, book reviewers, and book-reviewing periodicals, Mr. de Toledano gives very precise figures. He also explains the great leftist game in which one pro-Communist writer praises the work of another--an old practice exposed by the author of the The Iron Curtain Over America in the chapter, "Censorship, Gangs, and the Tyranny of Minorities" in his book IMAGE OF LIFE. [H: Perhaps this can be obtained from the same resource. We do not have a copy available to give further information.]
Praise follows friendship rather than merit. Let a novelist, for instance,
bring out a new book. The critic, the playwright, the reviewers, and the rest in his gang hail it as the book of the year. Likewise all will hail the new play by the playwright--and so on, all the way around the circle of membership. Provincial reviewers will be likely to fall in step. The result is that a gang member will sometimes receive national acclaim for a work which deserves oblivion, whereas a non-member may fail to receive notice for a truly excellent work. Such gangs prevent wholly honest criticism and are bad at best, but they are a positive menace when their expressions of mutual admiration are poured forth on obscene and subversive books.
[H: And, beyond this observation lies the real serpent intent‑-the "ghost" writing of volumes upon volumes FOR famous individuals to cover, deceive and betray you. I will later cite observations regarding two of your more prominent publications (written as autobiographies) by third parties without any actual input from the person in point. These are then sold in payment (pay-offs) to the people in subject. Two immediately SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS are regarding Colin Powell and Norman Schwarzkopf. Let me share with you, briefly, what was written in Criminal Politics on this subject:
"Watch out for Changes--in editorial policy--of trusted publications! .... Since payments to corporate executives cannot exceed $1 million for tax purposes, would it not also be logical that advances to major public figures for the publishing rights to their life stories should also be limited to $1 million? After all, if the government needs money why not limit the tax deductible payments to everyone. The reason is clear: the Zionist conspiracy needs to make payoffs to major figures, such as Schwarzkopf and Powell.
"It would not be stretching the imagination to assume that the retiring chairman may have been encouraged to keep his mouth shut...about homosexuals in the military--with the bait of a massive cash advance to be paid to him by a major publishing house.
"Obviously publishers, such as Random House, MacMillan and other big publishers, can only be assured of the recoupment of such huge sums--if the full cooperation of the Zionist-controlled media guarantees that a massive quantity will be distributed and placed in the nation's bookstores. These advance placement guarantees in retail outlets pretty much insure that the money can be recovered.
"SILENCE IS MAINTAINED--WITH $$$, In case, for any new subscribers who were not aware of it, this is how the conspiracy arranges the necessary payoffs and keeps people silent about totally immoral and objectionable developments, while your taxes will be raised--RETROACTIVELY--to January 1, 1993.]
For still more on the part played by certain book-reviewing periodicals in foisting upon the American public a ruinous program in China, see "A Guidebook to 10 Years of Secrecy in Our China Policy", a speech by Senator Owen Brewster of Maine (June 5, 1951). The tables on pp. 12 and 13 of Senator Brewster's reprinted speech are of especial value.
The unofficial arbiters and censors of books have not, however, confined themselves to contemporary texts but have taken drastic steps against classics. Successful campaigns early in the current century against such works as Shakespeare's play, The Merchant of Venice, are doubtless known to many older readers of The Iron Curtain Over America. The case of Shakespeare was summed up effectively by George Lyman Kittredge:
One thing is clear, however: The Merchant of Venice is no anti-
Semitic document; Shakespeare was not attacking the Jewish people when he gave Shylock the villain's role. If so, he was attacking the Moors in Titus Andronicus, the Spaniards in Much Ado, the Italians in Cymbeline, the Viennese in Measure for Measure, the Danes in Hamlet, the Britons in King Lear, the Scots in Macbeth, and the English in Richard the Third.
Much more significant than attacks on individual masterpieces, however, was a subtle but determined campaign begun a generation ago to discredit our older literature under charges of Jingoism and didacticism. [Didacticism: to teach a moral lesson, not to be confused with what CONTACT is required to do in the case of [didact] to cause you to receive no information regarding a given situation or individual. Further, if "we" slip up--Dharma, who writes for "me", is cited for ONGOING contempt of a federal court edict and subject to immediate imprisonment. An even better example is shown in what happens if you are a notable "listed" person on government files--and you ask for your files--easily 9/10ths will be didacted/redacted (marked out or cut out of the documents themselves).] For documentary indication of a nationwide minority boycott of books as early as 1933, write to the American Renaissance Book Club (P.O. Box 1316, Chicago 90, Illinois).
Still it was not until World War II that the manipulators of the National Democratic Party hit on a really effective way of destroying a large portion of our literary heritage and its high values of morality and patriotism. Since most classics have a steady rather than a rapid sale and are not subject to quick reprints even in normal times, and since many potential readers of these books were not in college but in the armed forces, few editions of such works were reprinted during the war. At this juncture the government ordered plates to be destroyed on all books not reprinted within four years. The edict was almost a death blow to our culture, for as old books in libraries wear out very few of them can be reprinted at modern costs for printing and binding. Thus, since 1946 the teacher of advanced college English courses has had to choose texts not, as in 1940, from those classics which he prefers but from such classics as are available. The iniquitous practice of destroying plates was reasserted by Directive M-65, dated May 31, 1951, of the National Production Authority, which provides that "plates which have not been used for more than four years or are otherwise deemed to be obsolete MUST be delivered "to a scrap metal dealer". In this connection, Upton Close wrote that he "was a writer on the Orient who stood in the way of the Lattimore-Hiss gang and Marshall's giving of China to the Communists", and that such an order "wiped out" all his books on China and Japan. Mr. Close continued as follows:
The order to melt book plates on the pretense that copper is needed for
war is the smartest way to suppress books ever invented. It is much more clever than Hitler's burning of books. The public never sees the melting of plates in private foundries. All the metal from all the book plates in America would not fight one minor engagement. But people do not know that. They do not even know that book plates have been ordered melted down!
Censorship is applied even to those classics which are reprinted. Let us look at only one author who lived long ago, Geoffrey Chaucer (c. 1340-1400). In both of the two fluent and agreeable verse translations at hand as this is written, the fact that the Knight belonged to the Teutonic Order is eliminated in the wording. Perhaps this is excusable, for the translator into verse faces many difficulties. Of different import, however, are the omissions in two other editions. The Heritage Press edition of the Canterbury Tales omits with no explanation the "Tale of the Prioress", the one in which Chaucer, more than 550 years ago, happened to paint--along with the several Gentile poisoners and other murders of his stories--one unflattering portrait, a version of the popular ballad "Sir Hugh and the Jew's Daughter", of one member of the Jewish race, and that one presumably fictitious! Professor Lumiansky's editions of the Canterbury Tales likewise omits the Prioress's tale, and tells why: "Though anti-Semitism was a somewhat different thing in the fourteenth century from what it is today, the present-day reader has modern reactions in literature no matter when it was written. From this point of view the Prioress's story of the little choir-boy who is murdered by the Jews possesses an unpleasantness which overshadows its other qualities". [H: Is it becoming a bit easier for you to understand HOW EASY it is to tamper and CHANGE any volume further back than 1933? As a for instance
--"HOW" do you think such as the word "Jew" becomes THE translation in ALL of the bibles defining the Khazarian Zionists? Because the Zionists in the form of now-a-days "Jews" have full control over all the major presses, publishing houses and fully intend to bring ALL publications under ONE CONTROL. Why do you think that books misrepresenting religions can make it into the MAJOR book-store strings and something like the JOURNALS cannot? THIS IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF TREASON UNTO TRUTH AND BETRAYAL OF THE PEOPLE INTO IGNORANCE OF HISTORICAL FACT
--AND YOU DON'T EVEN NOTICE--HOW MANY, FOR INSTANCE, OF YOUR CHILDREN EVEN KNOW THAT ONCE THERE WERE COPPER PLATES NECESSARY FOR PRINTING--NO COMPUTERS, NO OFF-SET PRESSES, ETC.? HOW MANY OF YOU READERS HAVE FORGOTTEN?]
No criticism of the translators, editors, and publishers is here implied. They may have merely bent to pressure as so many other publishers and so many periodicals have done--to the author's certain knowledge. One cannot, however, escape the question as to what would happen to American and English literature if persons of English, Scotch, Irish, German, Italian or other descent, took the same attitude toward "defamation" of persons of their "races", including those who lived more than 500 years ago! There would be no motion pictures or plays, and except for technical treatises there would be no more books.
One of the most horrible results of the types of censorship illustrated above is the production, by writers without honor, of works which will "pass" the unofficial censor. The result is a vast output of plays, non-fiction prose, and especially novels, worthless at best and degraded and subversive at the worst, which will not be reviewed here.
Time and space must be given, however, to the blackout of truth in history. Fortunately the way has been illuminated by Professor Harry Elmer Barnes in his pamphlet The Struggle Against the Historical Blackout. (Freeman's Journal Press, Cooperstown, N.Y. 1951.) Professor Barnes defines the historical craft's term "revisionism" as the "readjustment of historical writing to historical facts relative to the background and causes of the first World War" and later equates the term "revisionism" with "truth".
After mentioning some of the propaganda lies of World War I and the decade thereafter and citing authorities for the fact that "the actual causes and merits of this conflict were very close to the reverse of the picture presented in the political propaganda and historical writings of the war decade", Professor Barnes states--again with authorities and examples--that by 1928 "everyone except the die-hards and bitter-enders in the historical profession had come to accept revisionism, and even the general public had begun to think straight in the premises".
[H: STOP right here! Do you now better understand the meaning of "revisionism"? You see, the "Jews" have even ruined that term. Revisionism literally means "writing a new version (fabricated) of what actually happened". So, in the "Holocaust revisionism" it is not the questioning of authenticity by writers these days that is the revisionism. The Jews were the revisionists and those who question the authenticity of those propaganda spreads are searching for factual history. But anyone who does question this very matter--is subject to imprisonment as "hate" criminals in many nations (just about to pass in the U.S.A. and already valid in Canada). In other words, the self-same, self-styled Jews have set the historical data into their own desired presentation.]
Unfortunately, however, before the historical profession had got to be as true to history as it was prior to 1914, World War II was ushered in and propaganda again largely superseded truth in the writing of history. Here are several of Professor Barne's conclusions:
If the world policy of today (1951) cannot be divorced from the
mythology of the 1940s, a third World War is inevitable... History has been the chief intellectual casualty of the second World War and the cold war which followed.... In this country today, and it is also true of most other nations, many professional historians gladly falsify history quite voluntarily....
Why? To get a publisher, and to get favorable reviews for their books? The alternative is either oblivion or the vicious attack of a "smearbund", as Professor Barnes puts it, of unofficial censors "operating through newspaper editors and columnists, 'hatchet-men' book reviewers, radio commentators, pressure-group intrigue and espionage, and academic pressures and fears". The "powerful vested political interest" is strong enough to smother books by a truthful writer. "Powerful pressure groups have also found the mythology helpful in diverting attention from their own role in national and world calamity".
Professor Barnes is not hopeful of the future:
Leading members of two of the largest publishing houses in the
country have frankly told me that, whatever their personal wishes in the circumstances, they would not feel it ethical to endanger their business and the property rights of their stockholders by publishing critical books relative to American foreign policy since 1933. And there is good reason for their hesitancy. The book clubs and the main sales outlets for books are controlled by powerful pressure groups which are opposed to truth on such matters. These outlets not only refuse to market critical books in the field but also threaten to boycott other books by those publishers who defy their blackout ultimatum.
Bruce Barton (San Antonio Light, April 1, 1951) expresses the same opinions in condensed form and dramatic style, and adds some of the results of the "historical blackout":
We have turned our backs on history; we have violated the Biblical injunction, "remove not the ancient landmarks"; we have lost our North Star. We have deliberately changed the meaning of words...More and more bureaucracy, tighter and tighter controls over Freedom and Democracy. Lying to the people becomes conditioning the public mind. Killing people in peace. To be for America First is to be an undesirable citizen and a social outcast.... Crises abroad that any student of history would normally anticipate, hit the State Department and the Pentagon as a complete surprise. [H: 1951!!!!!]
Thus the study of falsified history takes its toll even among fellow-workers of the falsifiers.
