Soldier Of Truth In A Lifelong Battle With Lies - Four Winds 10

The Awakening Power Of Examples
As we approach the first
anniversary of the tragic events that
unfolded last September 11, those
who have a pretty good idea of what
really happened, and why, are far less
moved to embrace the well-meaning
oratory of commemorations as they
are waiting for the next galvanizing
calamity to be thrust upon the stage
of public experience.
Now—is that any way to have to
live in a country that calls itself “the
land of the free and the home of the
brave”? A growing number of angry
Americans think not.
But it took the tragedies of 9/11—
and a lot of equally suspicious
subsequent federal governmental
shenanigans—to push a lot of
previously contented sheep-people to
that awakened point of patriotic alert.
So as events play out as we move
down the path of a much larger
timeframe, it will eventually be
realized that those innocent lives so
tragically lost on 9/11 helped to
awaken a mostly sleeping nation to
regain its stolen freedom—in the
same way as did the early morning
April 19, 1775 ride of Paul Revere
followed a few hours later by “the
shot heard ’round the world” as the
Revolutionary War battles of
Lexington and Concord began.
Three articles in this issue of The
SPECTRUM pay a heartfelt yet
unpretentious tribute to all who have
been affected by 9/11.
The first article is an incredibly well
researched timeline of events bringing
back into sharp focus incriminating
matters that would otherwise get
fuzzy and go forgotten over time—
which is what the crooks in high
secret places count on. Well, not
here; let the facts speak up!
The second article is a reflective
“call to action” by congressman Dr.
Ron Paul, who asks his fellow
Americans a question (“Are we
doomed to be a police state?”) that
was similarly on the minds of alert
colonial Americans in the mid 1700s.
And last but certainly not least, the
third article in our 9/11 tribute is Rick
Martin’s front-page feature interview
with Eustace Mullins. Indeed he is
“an American treasure” who sets an
example of patriotic citizenship of the
SEPTEMBER 2002
highest calibre.
The photo of Eustace posing next
to Thomas Jefferson—with their
similar profiles and identical
resolves—tells the whole story. We
hope you enjoy this “up close and
personal” visit with Eustace as much
as we take great pleasure in
presenting it. There is NOTHING
more moving (or annoying!) than the
power of a good example.
Meanwhile—reflecting the present
condition of a nation being gutted by
a bumper crop of crooks enjoying a
free-for-all—the economic scene
continues to fall apart like an old
used car. And like the proverbial
used car salesman, kicking the tires
to convince us how sound the old
crate is, are the well-paid media
“experts” pontificating in lock-step
with their governmental instructions.
Those who have lost anywhere from
1/3 to 1/2 of their retirement nestegg
(so far) count as additional casualties
in “our” government’s stepped-up war
to subdue we-the-people.
To counteract the media’s relentless
rain of economic baloney, we are
sharing quite a bit of important
“alternative” opinion by Al Martin and
Sherman Skolnick. These are
teachers whose visions of reality
could prove useful to those of you
trying to figure which way to walk
through the money minefield.
And while we’re on the subject of
the crooks in high secret places
(“When were we ever OFF that
subject?” you say), the incredible
story behind the recent jailing of Ohio
Representative James A. Traficant
calls for one of those times when we
really need another front page!
I took a lot of room to introduce
Traficant’s story because, as The
Truth came out, it became obvious
that information on the “China
Connection”—which had been shared
with you in past issues of this
publication—played a serious and
central role in his railroading.
Why weren’t these important
connections made on the evening
news programs? They had no
problem devoting plenty of time and
space to making him look like a fool.
Well, we all know why. And more
than a few people watching what
happened to him had their suspicions
raised—again—just like at the time of
9/11, and again with the bombing of
Afghanistan, and again with the
anthrax scare(s), and on it goes.
Deep down in the souls of many
Americans, something felt very very
wrong. There was that nagging
feeling one was watching an honest
guy getting beaten down by a corrupt
and pompous House of bought-off
small-time crooks doing the bidding of
behind-the-scenes Big-Boy Bosses.
But it all falls into place once you
have the missing information we
provide. And assuming you’ve been
doing your homework—studying your
class notes as diligent graduate-level
students must—then what happened
to Traficant will make perfect sense.
It’s just that so many layers of
crooks have so much to hide that
decent, honest, hard-working folks
don’t have the background to imagine
such depravity can be taking place—
especially right before their eyes.
So, like 9/11 and Eustace Mullins
and other icons of patriotic inspiration
we’ve been talking about here, there’s
a good chance that James A.
Traficant will eventually become a
similarly powerful example who stirs
people to get up and change this
nation back for the better.
As Eustace said recently, only
partly in humor: “It’s getting to be
hard to keep up with all the
conspiracies any more.” Ain’t that the
truth!
We here at The SPECTRUM are
doing our best to “keep up” so you
might better stay on top of an evermore-slick
array of shenanigans, as
the crooks feel pressured and
cornered by have to deal with an
ever-more-awakening population.
As you may have noticed, this
issue of The SPECTRUM is even
larger than our usual large size.
Perhaps someone better at this job
than me would know better what to
cut out and not share with you. I’d
rather defer on the side of
completeness. And then appeal to
your generosity, to please help us
financially so that, together, we can
continue to figure out The Truth in a
world growing crazier by the day.
