Conspiracy Nation -- Vol. 1 Num. 27

||
======================================
|
||
("Quid coniuratio est?")
|

|
||
|
||
[From an interview with Linda Thompson on the *For the People*
|
||
radio show, Feb. 11, 1994. Host is Chuck Harder.]
|
||
|
||
[Continued...]
|
||
|
||
CHUCK HARDER: To order Linda Thompson's new "Waco, the Big Lie
|
||
Continues," or "Waco II," if you please, you can call 1-800-888-
|
||
9999, around the clock. If busy, keep trying.
|
||
|
||
Uh, O.K. Let's go ahead. Back with Linda Thompson.
|
||
|
||
And we've talked about the Scott case, and what we've talked
|
||
about is, is there is a potential, underlying desire for assets.
|
||
Uh, this was certainly true in the Scott case (this is coming
|
||
out, now), and we also know that here in Florida there was a
|
||
county in, oh, I'm gonna call it "east central Florida," where
|
||
the sheriff's deputies were stopping cars. And if they found
|
||
cash, they took it.
|
||
|
||
You probably heard of that, didn't you?
|
||
|
||
LINDA THOMPSON: They do that at the airports fairly regularly.
|
||
|
||
HARDER: Yeah. And so if somebody was travelling and they had cash
|
||
in their vehicle and they got stopped, they wouldn't get the cash
|
||
back! One lady had been travelling from Georgia, with cash to
|
||
help her family that was a victim of hurricane Andrew, and they
|
||
grabbed her dough!
|
||
|
||
So essentially, what we have here is a... Here's my impression,
|
||
if I may...
|
||
|
||
THOMPSON: It's an alternative tax.
|
||
|
||
HARDER: ...Exact... What we have here is...
|
||
|
||
THOMPSON: "Fund raiser."
|
||
|
||
HARDER: ...O.K. What we have is this:
|
||
|
||
-+- The Harder Statement -+-
|
||
|
||
We have a country, in my opinion, that is on the road to
|
||
national suicide. We are on this road through what I
|
||
call "free trade at any price." In other words, we have
|
||
moved our factories overseas; we are putting Americans
|
||
out of work; the products are being made by 19 cent or
|
||
50 cent an hour peasants, in the various countries. The
|
||
products then come back into the United States as
|
||
consumer goods, [and] are sold at the same price as if
|
||
they were made in the USA. The super-elite, whether it's
|
||
at Nike or whether it's at General Electric, or
|
||
whatever, are able to make *millions* of dollars a year
|
||
and make the stockholders happy.
|
||
|
||
However, the American workers are put out of work and
|
||
wind up on welfare. People on welfare can't pay taxes.
|
||
So when you have a government now that has lost its tax
|
||
base, the only way it can get money (when it's lost its
|
||
tax base) is by taking things. What's left?
|
||
|
||
We saw in the medical industry (and I've talked to a
|
||
doctor who essentially admitted this), the medical
|
||
industry has survived for many years, one way or
|
||
another, from generations of people who had savings. And
|
||
when grandma was in the hospital, or grandpa, the last 2
|
||
weeks of their life on the respirator, they essentially
|
||
sucked up their life savings!
|
||
|
||
You... Correct?
|
||
|
||
THOMPSON: Yes, absolutely.
|
||
|
||
HARDER: ("The Harder Statement" continues)
|
||
|
||
O.K. So we have had confiscatory medicine. {1}.
|
||
Unfortunately, those, those generations of people with
|
||
life savings are now disappearing. And the people who
|
||
are getting sick today don't *have* any money.
|
||
|
||
So we have this terrible downward spiral of a country
|
||
that has very little manufacturing left. Last week, if
|
||
you heard, *442,000* people signed up for unemployment.
|
||
{2}. And we have all these re-training programs, but
|
||
regrettably there are no jobs. And so, consequently, we
|
||
have a country on its way to national suicide. And at
|
||
the same time we're doing this, we have all of these
|
||
"sideshows" running around, with rogue elements of
|
||
governmental agencies, that are killing our own people
|
||
and seizing assets!
|
||
|
||
The problem of it is, -- whether you agree or disagree
|
||
(and this is my opinion, based on what I've seen and
|
||
read and heard) -- when the government seizes this
|
||
stuff, it's only for the moment! They are only "rich,"
|
||
in their mind, for the moment. Because the government
|
||
never sells the assets for any amount of money, because
|
||
of the downward spiral.
|
||
|
||
Are you with me?
|
||
|
||
THOMPSON: Yes, I am.
|
||
|
||
HARDER: In other words...
|
||
|
||
THOMPSON: You realize the local law enforcement agencies, though,
|
||
get to *keep* the cash that they seize. Or at least a large
|
||
percentage of it, depending on whether they seized it themselves
|
||
or with a federal agency. This is a funding mechanism for local
|
||
police departments that can't be beat! They've come up with
|
||
equipment they never would have been able to afford to purchase
|
||
otherwise. That's why all of 'em *have* SWAT teams now.
|
||
|
||
HARDER: Yeah, but you see, the nonsense that has happened --
|
||
especially in the state of Florida, that, dear Lord have mercy,
|
||
it's awful -- not only the murders of the tourists. And of
|
||
course, the bad guys in the state of Florida know not to "hit"
|
||
Floridians because a lot of Floridians, that are driving, have
|
||
got guns!
|
||
|
||
THOMPSON: Um-hmm. [Affirmative]
|
||
|
||
HARDER: So the bad guys leave the natives alone and they zero in
|
||
on the tourists. And hopefully now that is coming under control.
|
||
And Lord have mercy, I hope so. But this other nonsense that's
|
||
hit the national press {3} has really hurt tourism in Florida. So
|
||
they're killing the golden goose!
|
||
|
||
Your thoughts.
|
||
|
||
THOMPSON: They have not been known for their intelligence...
|
||
|
||
HARDER: No.
|
||
|
||
THOMPSON: ...best I can tell.
|
||
|
||
HARDER: No. It's just greed. {4}.
|
||
|
||
THOMPSON: And it's greed... and it's greed... They're no
|
||
different than any other criminal. They're not real bright.
|
||
They're just greedy. And that's what we're seeing: We've got
|
||
criminals running our government!
|
||
|
||
And that's my hue and cry. This is the thing I'm trying to
|
||
*expose* here: Why are these people... if for no other reason
|
||
than the fact that when you're in a position of *trust*, when you
|
||
are an elected official, you have a very, a burden of trust and
|
||
honesty to your... the people that you're supposed to be serving.
|
||
We can prove *conclusively* that every one of our leaders has
|
||
just lied to us, directly *LIED* to us. If nothing else, if we
|
||
can't prove they've committed murder, rape, robbery, theft,
|
||
anything, we can prove they've lied.
|
||
|
||
So why are they still in office? That's my point. Why are these
|
||
*liars* in their jobs?! They should be out.
|
||
|
||
HARDER: Well, regrettably, I think you know that ever since the
|
||
Nixon administration and prior, prior to Dick Nixon, of course,
|
||
uh, you had people after him. You had Lyndon Johnson, of course,
|
||
and you've got all of these other administrations that have used
|
||
"damage control," they call it. They call it "damage control."
|
||
Isn't that lying by omission?
|
||
|
||
THOMPSON: Right, well it's lying, period. And when you
|
||
fraudulently... When you misrepresent things to the public
|
||
because it might look bad -- you're lying!! And that's what
|
||
they've done.
|
||
|
||
Now one of the things that was... I think the alarm has not been
|
||
sounded on, that I think it's important to sound on your show; it
|
||
ties into things: Last Thursday, we had Janet Reno, Al Gore,
|
||
Cisneros from HUD [Department of Housing and Urban Development],
|
||
and Lee Brown gave us the "crime briefing" is what they called
|
||
it, on February 4th [1994]. And in that crime briefing, each one
|
||
of them presented one piece of information. It was as if, O.K.,
|
||
Gore gets up and he says 20 paragraphs. And there's one line in
|
||
there that's real important. Then Reno and Bentsen get up. Each
|
||
one of them said 15 or 20 paragraphs with *one line* that's
|
||
important. But what they all said was, our government is going to
|
||
do house-to-house searches in all of the housing projects around
|
||
the country; that Cabrini Green and New York had been "test
|
||
tubes," "test grounds," for this; and that they're going to use
|
||
the Secret Service to go in and inspect light bulbs and exits and
|
||
so forth at these projects. And they're going to use the ATF to
|
||
do just like they did at Cabrini Green.
|
||
|
||
And you may remember that. They went in these projects [e.g.
|
||
Cabrini Green, in Chicago], they arrested anyone who didn't have
|
||
identification, they seized guns. They did illegal searches and
|
||
seizures in every single one of those places.
|
||
|
||
Now what's even *worse* than that, all of them said things like
|
||
-- and this is a direct quote from the transcript [of the "crime
|
||
briefing"] -- "We're really talking about an entire area of
|
||
cities, entire neighborhoods." They are not speaking of limiting
|
||
this strictly to housing projects. Housing projects, to me, is
|
||
bad enough. The people that live in those projects are citizens,
|
||
the same as anyone. They have the same *rights* as anyone. But we
|
||
have a federal court that has upheld these searches and seizures
|
||
as legal, and they have already said they are going to expand
|
||
this beyond the housing projects.
|
||
|
||
People, that was our warning. That's it. They've laid it on the
|
||
table. It doesn't get any plainer what they're about to do.
|
||
|
||
HARDER: Well, I can remember. There was a little, a little
|
||
poem... Or not a poem, but a little dissertation:
|
||
|
||
First they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up
|
||
'cause I wasn't a Jew.
|
||
And then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't
|
||
speak up because I wasn't a Catholic.
|
||
And they came for the trade unionists. I didn't speak
|
||
up because I wasn't a trade unionist.
|
||
They came for the Communists. I didn't speak up
|
||
'cause I wasn't a Communist.
|
||
And by the time they came for me, there was nobody
|
||
left to speak up.
|
||
|
||
And that was a... That came out of World War II, at the time
|
||
Hitler had the death camps open.
|
||
|
||
We'll be right back.
|
||
|

----------------------------<< Notes >>--------------------------
|
||
{1} "...we have had confiscatory medicine." Juxtaposed with the
|
||
more recent "alternative tax," i.e., confiscatory raids by the
|
||
Sheriff of Nottingham and crew.
|
||
{2} "*442,000* people signed up for unemployment." *These are
|
||
people signing up for the first time.* In other words, 442,000
|
||
people *in addition to* those already registered as unemployed.
|
||
{3} "This other nonsense that's hit the national press..." i.e.,
|
||
police confiscations of cash.
|
||
{4} "It's just greed." Worth taking a look at: What is greed?
|
||
Excessive acquisitiveness, according to my dictionary. As Kahlil
|
||
Gibran writes in *The Prophet*, "What is fear of need but need
|
||
itself?"
