CHAPTER 3 FORMS OF GOVERNMENT<br />

<strong>The</strong> people believed Hitler and voted him into office. And once in office,<br />

he called in his party loyalists and the terror ended, just like he promised.<br />

Hitler appeared to be a hero: he did what he said he would.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are some who saw this strategy at work in the passing of the<br />

Eighteenth Amendment ("Prohibition") to the Constitution. If the creation<br />

of an organized crime syndicate was the reason for the passage of this<br />

Amendment, then what happened makes sense.<br />

Anyone who knew human nature realized that the Amendment would<br />

not cause the drinking of liquor to stop: it would only make drinking illegal.<br />

And the American people responded by purchasing their liquor from those<br />

willing to risk penalties and fines for selling illegal liquor. <strong>The</strong> more that the<br />

government clamped down on the illegal sale of liquor, the more they played<br />

into the hands of those who wished to create a crime syndicate. <strong>The</strong> more the<br />

pressure on those selling the liquor, the more the price went up. <strong>The</strong> more<br />

the price went up, the more unscrupulous became the seller of the liquor.<br />

<strong>The</strong> more unscrupulous the seller, the more crime in the streets. <strong>The</strong> more<br />

crime in the streets, the more pressure on the sellers of the liquor. Finally,<br />

only the most ruthless survived. And the price of liquor was raised even<br />

higher because of the risk involved in selling it.<br />

<strong>The</strong> American people thought that the crime syndicate that survived the<br />

government's pressure would cease after Prohibition was repealed. But they<br />

stayed, much to the continued distress of the American people.<br />

Some very well-known Americans benefited from Prohibition. In fact:<br />

"Frank Costello, the so-called 'Prime Minister of the Underworld'... in-<br />

formed Peter Maas, author of <strong>The</strong> Valachi Papers that he and Joseph<br />

Kennedy (the father of the late President, John Kennedy) were partners in the<br />

liquor business." 7<br />

This startling connection between organized crime and the father of the<br />

late President was confirmed in an article in Parade Magazine on November<br />

16, 1980.<br />

A more current example of this technique was used by those who<br />

wanted to prolong the Vietnamese War. This strategy was used throughout<br />

the war with extreme effectiveness.<br />

One of the <strong>truth</strong>s of the economic system under which America operates<br />

is that the name on the bottom line of the payroll check is the employer, and<br />

the name on the top line is the employee. As long as the employee continues<br />

to perform as requested by the employer, the employee continues getting<br />

payroll checks. When the employee ceases to perform as requested, the checks<br />

are no longer issued.<br />

<strong>The</strong> same principle applies in the funding of the public universities<br />

during the Vietnamese War.<br />

A good percentage of the anti-government, anti-Vietnamese War<br />
