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
