It died at the peak of it's tremendous power, which it refused to use in it's own defense." The words of Clarence Manion, former Dean of Notre Dame Law School. Will this be the epitaph of this great nation? Where are the Jeffersons. Lincolns and Washingtons now? Where are the organized resistors? Oh sure, there are those people who are resisting in the courts. But. these folks have been so well conditioned that when they lose they will only shake their headsand walkaway. The fact that they are in court proves this. What do we do about it when the court system is part of the conspiracy? As most people know. I am a broadcaster in Salt Lake City. What they don't know is that the head of a large banking corporation has threatened to put yours truly in the federal penitentiary for telling the listeners the truth. Don't laugh, it's a serious threat. And it's just possible he could and would do just that. The constitution? Freedom of speech? Forget it! Presidents for years have been rewriting the constitution with executive orders. Franklin Delano Roosevelt wrote one many years ago to the effect that if anyone did anything to cause withdrawals from the banks they would be liable to federal How many people prosecution. have withdrawn their savings and reinvested them because of things 1 have broadcast?

Could It be that we are being conditioned for the passage of Senate Bill fll. the new crime bill over 700 pages which would allow "Federal Police" to take over much local police enforcement. Yes. where are the organized resistors? I'll bet there isn't one in a hundred aware of our desperate condition. I'll bet there isn't one in a hundred that will remember what I have written here an hour later. Then why do bother? Because the Lord has commanded it. God bless vou all.

Theframers of the U.S. Constitution intended that there should be rivalry between the various levels of government, so that usurpations would be prevented. U.S. SKNDS 200 "NONCOMBAP SINAI TROOPS TO This past week the congress succumbed to vague promises and pressures from Henry Kissinger and the Ford Administration to enter into the Sinai conflict. The proposal is to send, initially, 200 "noncombat" troops to the Sinai as a move to "keep us out of war". We are soberly reminded at this point that U.S. involvement in. Vietnam began with a handful of "technical advisors". This foot-insituation eventually led to the loss of over 50,000 American lives and the most humiliating and disastrous defeat this country has ever suffered. Henry Kissinger and Gerald Ford are leading us into an almost identical situation with absolutely no assurance that the Vietnam fiasco will not be repeated. In fact, the Ford administration has been most reluctant to release any substantial information about our negotiations in the Middle East. It appears that their intent is to keep the citizens in the dark propagandize us, tax us and send us off to war when their whims strike them. The Ford Administration claims we must monitor li troop movements to insure peace. In some mystical way, not explained by either Kissinger or Ford, the presence of 200 noncombat American troops is supposed to be instrumental in preventing surprise border attacks by either side. If history can be used as a standard by which to forecast the future, it is more likely that these troops will cause war rather than prevent it.. And if the Arabs and Jews are determined to kill each other off in eternal wars, this is no doubt a tragedy. But if they are determined to do so, then here is one American who says emphatically that they should do it without American involvement! -t he-do- or Arab-Israe- CONSTITUTION OF UTAH Article VI.

One really wonders why it will cost this amount to maintain only 200 "noncombat" troops in that area. Perhaps it is already the plan of Mr. Kissinger for increased U.S. involvement! Of course, one might say that the $10 million would be a bargain if it were to insure peace. But it appears at this point that it is going to be a "cheap" start to another very expensive war!

Sound money, flexible wages and prices and economy with a reduction of government and private debt were the three reasons why this depression was cured so quickly.
