Letters to the editor

in the Democratic Party

Editor,

Hillary Clinton has stated that there is a "vast right-wing conspiracy” pursuing an agenda of Clinton bashing for "personal power and profit.” She is right about the conspiracy. She is right about the pursuit of power and profit. She is wrong about where it originates.

When Bill Clinton accepted the Democratic Party’s nomination for president he said that the man who started him on the road to his "New Covenant” was Carroll Quigley. He taught at Harvard. His book, "Tragedy and Hope,” documents the existence of a powerful international "network” whose goal was "nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands...able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole.”

Quigley acknowledged the intellectual originators of the plot as John Ruskin of England’s Oxford University and his pet pupil, Cecil Rhodes. Rhodes had some major league help from the Rothschild banking empire. He "left part of his fortune to found the Rhodes Scholarships at Oxford” to train young and ambitious students for the "secret society.” Bill Clinton, a Quigley student, Rhodes Scholar, is following the Quigley blueprint. It wasn’t sent to me in the vast right-wing conspiracy newsletter. It is in the book, "Tragedy and Hope.” Who better to know than Bill, one of their own. There you have it in their own words. Now you have this confirmation from their own mouth, which they’ll deny, of course, just like they do the Protocols. "If we were really going to do such a thing,” they’ll say, "we’d certainly never publish a book on it, or allow one to be published on it.” Well, if you don’t believe they’re doing such a thing and you don’t believe the book, just look around at the evidence that surrounds you, which is getting more and more obvious every day as they’re getting more and more blatant.

Oppose the immunity

Editor,

Congress must oppose retroactive immunity for phone companies that participated in the Bush-Cheney Administration warrantless surveillance program because the standing FISA law was violated.

The Bush administration and compliant telecom companies must be held accountable. Any new FISA bills must preserve our civil liberties as spelled out in the Bill of Rights.

Congress must stand up to scare tactics that suggest congressional Democrats’ efforts to get the FISA bill right this time will invite another terrorist attack.
