    composed of wealthy and powerful men with
incredible political and economic power
(Skull and Bones Society?). This cabal
makes and breaks governments according to
their New World Order agenda, The Fourth
Reich, if you will. These unconscionable fas-
cists have allegiance to no country.
The lesson is simple: This group has de-
veloped or will develop a genetically altered
virus with an 80 percent kill ratio and no
known antidote. An overpopulated world in-
terferes with their agenda. These scientists
and weapons experts posed a threat to the
cabal and were consequently eliminated.
They had rather colluded with the cabal — in
which case they were being silenced as insur-
ance — they would have been able to trace to
genetic pattern revealing the perpetrators, or
may have been able to develop a cure.
We shall see in the days ahead. Question
authority.

GIVE MEN A BREAK, TOO!
I’ll start by saying that, in general, I enjoy
and appreciate your work at EW very much. I
have to protest, however, your continued
space given to pornography and I ask you to
stop publishing ads that sell sex. Because I
suspect you’ve received many good letters
that express the hurt done to women, this let-
ter focuses on the damage these ads, and the
services they offer, do to men.
Pornography basically functions to dis-
tract us. Men (and women) sometimes have
feelings of loneliness. Men in particular have
been conditioned to deny or ignore these and
other feelings, and to use different kinds of
distraction and/or suppression. A very com-
mon method of distraction is to engage in
thoughts of sex, or in sexual activity itself.
There’s great value, however, in not run-
ning away from our feelings and experiences.
We know ourselves better when we don’t run.
We can choose to spend some time with coun-
seling around some of our feelings, to follow a
spiritual path, or to engage in a training pro-
gram of some kind. Eugene has a huge num-
ber of groups and organizations providing
these resources. Sometimes feelings tell us we
simply need to make changes in our lives.
The instinct for sex is strong. Our animal
friends don’t need much brain complexity to
know when to have sex. Humans are much
more complex, with very advanced minds,
and we’ve managed to do well for ourselves.
We have time to think, design, express and
create wonderful stuff.
How about helping men to develop beyond
their conditioning? The possibility for men’s
growth would be great, especially if EW pub-
lished more articles on the ways that men stay
stuck, and on ways that men can grow as
human beings! Consider this an opportunity
to do “investigative reporting on the global
plan to condition men,” instead of carrying out
that plan. I’m sure you can find lots of willing
reporters and authors. Your ad department will
creatively go after other ads. Best of all, your
staff will feel a lot better about your newspa-
per’s relationship to men, and women!

but I was pleasantly surprised and impressed
with his presence, energy and passion. He
was articulate, intelligent, thoughtful and he
even answered questions without hesitation.
Unfortunately the mainstream media has
written off Kucinich and are not giving him
any coverage, which prevents him from get-
ting his message out — as witnessed here by
the lack of coverage by The Register-Guard.
Polls show him unable to get the Democratic
nomination. Common sense tells me that if
the media chooses to nominalize someone,
silencing their message, the people in polls
will obviously not be familiar with him.
What seems sadly left out to me is the
voice and the choice of the people! Polls have
great power in our society. Yet I don’t know
what questions were asked, how they were
worded, and who was called or who paid for
the poll. What I do know is that poll questions
can be biased to get a desired result.
They — whoever “they” are — say
Kucinich is too far left and liberal to be
elected. Yet a far right wing conservative re-
sides in the White House and is considered
re-electable. Why is that? Sounds to me like it
is time for a major shift to a more sustainable
direction that represents we the people, not
just we the rich people. They have had way
too much say for way too long.

KEEP KUCINICH IN IT
I am very excited about Democratic presi-
