Conspiracy Nation -- Vol. 1 Num. 56
======================================
("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: We are back. Linda Thompson is our guest.
So, what you're talking about then, Linda... Are you there?
LINDA THOMPSON: Yeah.
HARDER: O.K. ...is you're talking about total control by the
central government. Isn't that what they want?
THOMPSON: And that's exactly what we have. And that was what
NAFTA was really about. The one thing that nobody really got the
message on is that NAFTA is being given the effect of a treaty.
It was not voted properly as a treaty; two-thirds of our Senate
should have ratified it, but did not.
HARDER: Right.
THOMPSON: Uh, yet it's being given the force of a treaty. And
based on our Constitution, a treaty has the same power *as* the
Constitution and, in fact, can essentially supersede it. NAFTA
has done that, and it put our country under an international
tribunal that controls the economy. Our economy is now controlled
not by us, not by our elected officials, but by an international
tribunal. So we are already *to* that point. We have already lost
our Constitution {1}. We've already lost our rights. And we
already have an international tribunal running our economy. And
we have leaders that are in position to make certain that our
economy is *devastated*, to the point that we all become,
essentially, subservient to the government. Because we're gonna
be dependent on the government for our food supply, our health
care... *everything* will be controlled by the centralized
government. And these are the very people that want not just a
one United States government control, but a *one world*
government control. That's the plan.
HARDER: Yeah. We know that that has been going on. And the
beautiful thing about it is, anybody who wants to uh, research
that can go back to the Council on Foreign Relations magazine,
which is called "Foreign Affairs." They can go back to the early
'70s and the Richard Gardner writings uh, where this is the plan,
it was the plan, they have admitted it's the plan.
But there is a problem. And the problem is that normally,
government doesn't do much very well. Wars are fought by
governments. Obviously, they're not fought very well. Every once
in a while a very bright commander comes along, but, you know,
they're terrible devastation. And governments normally don't run
businesses very well. And, you know, I find it difficult to see
privatization as, supposedly, the key, when really, the central
government wants control. You can't have it both ways. Can you?
THOMPSON: Well, you can't have... um, they're not actually
privatizing anything. So no, you couldn't have both things. But
this is a case of "Watch my left hand, so you don't see what I'm
doing with my right hand." They say one thing and do another {2}.
You're not actually seeing any privatization of anything with
this administration or the past administrations. What you're
seeing is more and more centralized control by the government of
everything. And what *is* privatized is under such heavy
government regulation that, for all intents and purposes, it's
government control.
HARDER: Well again, while I agree with you there, the *New York
Times* put it rather succinctly on Sunday, January 30th, I
believe it was. I have the paper at home. They ran a story in
their business section that uh, it is so bad now. Red tape is so
bad that for every $100 that business pays to the U.S. government
in taxes, business pays $399 in compliance and make-ready cost to
pay the 100 bucks.
THOMPSON: Well the people in business have the ability to totally
call a halt to this by refusing to be a collection agency for the
Internal Revenue Service...
HARDER: [Interjects. Somewhat panicy] Well, again, that's
something that *we* would not agree with because of the fact that
we believe we've gotta pay taxes {3}. And what we'd rather see is
the folks work within the system and that's...
We're gonna get right back to Linda Thompson next hour, folks.
And we'll take your specific calls on Waco at 1-800-TALK-YES.
If you wanna get this *marvellous* tape, and the name of the tape
is "Waco, the Big Lie Continues," you can order it by calling 1-
800-888-9999, around the clock. 1-800-888-9999. It's $19.95 and
$4.00 shipping and handling. You can use your Mastercard or Visa.
That's 1-800-888-9999.
All the best. Thanks. May God bless.
[...commercial break...]
HARDER: I think you could best call it, "An American Tragedy."
We're talking about Waco, the essential murder, if you please, or
the killing of innocent people at the hands of government agents.
Call it a "rogue element" in the government. Call it "an idea
that was bad to begin with, and then went from bad to worse."
Call it whatever you want, children died; innocent people died.
How many... Linda Thompson is our guest. Linda, how many people
died in Waco?
THOMPSON: 100, total. 4 government agents and 96 Branch
Davidians. 25 children, 17 of 'em under the age of 5.
HARDER: 17 children under the age of 5.
THOMPSON: That's what um, "Forgive Us. We Didn't Know" is all
about {4}. But that, that... The children in there could not
