Show Page 10 The Utah Independent January The Paper That Dares To Take A Stand 1, 1976 WASH INGTON OBSERVER REPORTS Continued trom page President Ford, mindful of American opposition to communism, issued a cautious statement this summer that the U.S. sees no advantage in perpetual antagonism with Castro. U.S. government agencies are already pressuring a number of Latin American governments the members of the Organization of American States to vote for the lifting of the economic embargo against Cuba. It was no accident that Castro was able to get his press conference with American journalists covering Sen. McGoverns visit to Cuba in May on Barbara Walters NBC Todav show. NBC is con- trolled bv the Rockefellers. The peace and trade brainwash had begun. o According to Mexican organizations such as Federation Mexicana Anticomuhista (Femaco) and Union Defensora de la Demo-cracithe secret negotiations that will saddle American taxpayers with supporting another communist state are master-minde- d bv Vice President Nelson A. Rockefeller, Secretarv of State Henry A. Kissinger and Secretary of the Treasurv William F. Simon. Those who are openlv espousing' a resumption of trade and political relations (Senators Javits, McGovern, Mondale, Pell, and Federal Reserve Bank head Arthur Burns) are merely errand boys earn ing out the Rockefellers orders. U.S. taxpayers, already milked heavily to help prevent the collapse of the Soviet Union, and to support the imperial ambitions of Israel, will now also pay for Fidel Castros unremitting campaign to establish communist states in all of Latin America. The high taxes necessarv to support these Rockefeller deals are also paving for treason because those who are running the U,S. government today are either communists disguised with a liberal mask, or are working for Moscow in exchange for profitable business deals such as the wheat sales which American families have subsidized by over $300 million and which have raised the price of bread by 50 percent. If all the secret deals are carried out, the Cuban detente may be as costly as the Russian anti-Castr- a, detente. of Henry Kissinger early next year as Presi-CY- T UCMpY'C Watch for the resignation LAI dent Fords I re-electi- on campaign builds up steam. In spite of the adulation of the press, Kissingers popularity with the voters is low and sinking. Constant attacks from the right accusing him of being a Soviet agent are now being given credence by many. The vote of a House Committee to find him in contempt of Congress has not helped. Kissingers strategems of threatening to resign or saying that attacks against his policy are hampering his conduct of foreign affairs are not having the same effect on critics they used to have. Fords induced firing of Defense chief Sch-lesing- er strengthened the RockefellerKissinger hand in the Administration at first but is not being taken kindly by strong partisans of Israel. Thus, Kissinger has been coming under heavier attack. One of the most preceptive ob- servers of the American political scene, Mr. John M. Henshaw, former Washington Bureau chief of Washington Obskiivkr Nf.wsi.kttkh, opined to friends that New York Citv two months ago 17 bonds were being deliberately depressed by press scare talk and by President Fords seemingly adamant stand against a federal bailout. Henshaw predicted a financial coup for insiders. After Ford reversed his stand and recommended federal monev for the bankrupt city, bond prices unexpectedly shot up. Henshaw points out that the banks knew of the citys precarious financial situation for years yet continued to lend money. Bankers are not stupid, Henshaw pointed out. They knew they had nothing to worry about. Now the banks will quietly unload their bonds to the public at a good price. RAUft DUIW To Make Your Hair Curl 1 Many Americans have been led to believe we will figures dont spell progress at all they spell failure -failure and potential disaster for a nation which simply cannot afford that much - have energy by 198S. I'm concerned because I predict that at the current rate of pnergy demand growth there will be an energy shortage in the United States by 1985 that will make your hair curl. Most of this is because of and the lethargy of our Congress in energy matters. Our energy supply is in trouble. We just cannot meet the fantastic energy demands through the year self-sufficien- cy short-sightedne- 2000 without yearly the energy imported from outside our borders. Today about 40 percent of oil used in the U.S.A. is imported. The entire country, with the exception of one group, finally, became aware of this crisis in September, 1973, when the oil embargo was imposed by the OPEC these are the oil countries producing countries. That one group was the U.S. Congress. Our Congress has not put an extra drop of energy into your supply tanks since that date. By this I mean that none of the legislation that they have passed helped to improve plans supplies for This the and more intimidation in the conduct of foreign policy, jeopardizes our which entire nation. Despite the continued warning from experts, the Federal Power Commission has been required for more than 20 years to keep the well-hea- d price of natural gas at extremely low levels in order to hold down the prices for consumers. These controls decrease the incentives for the development of new domestic environmental amount of imports. But in the larger sense, these own sickening, embargo, conservationists are linked together into a plot to bring America to eventual disaster by making domestic energy expansion impossible. Most sensible people know that the problems of higher taxes, price controls, threat of excess profit penalties, embargoes on leasing or operating in favorable coastal areas, and rigid havent increased her increasing dependence on Middle Eastern oil will mean only greater risks of another, and requirements serve only as roadblocks in efforts to explore for new reserves or to build new facilities. Last year we paid other countries about 26 billion dollars for oil and more than 2 billion dollars for natural gas. During the first half of this year we were importing oil and gas at essentially the same rate. You might think that at least thats progress. We all domestic use. our domestic energy excessive to eliminate exports of petroleum to the U.S. in order to conserve situation. In fact, many of the new regulations have decreased the supply of domestic energy. Sometimes it seems that this country's politicians, environmentalists imported energies. During the few minutes that 1 will be talking to you, we will spend one-ha- lf million dollars for energy imports. By this time tomorrow evening we will have spent another 75 million dollars. We just cannot afford this. . Although we continue to be less dependent on Middle Eastern oil than are Western Europe or Japan, our own dependence is growing. Within a few years the amount of imports of Middle Eastern oil will take a huge jump. As you have been reading, our largest oil supplier, Canada, wisely ss increasing for money . supplies so that, just as we predicted in the early fifties, there is much less natural gas than we need today. Instead of learning from this natural gas experience, we are now repeating our mistakes in the oil industry where we again have imposed price controls. Again we can predict the results: By keeping the prices of natural gas and domestic oil at ridiculously low levels, we are forcing consumers to buy more expensive products from foreign oil and gas sources because we are producing so much less of our own oil and gas. -- Dr. John M. McKetta on The Manion Forum READERS OUTLOOK Continued from page 7 ties, and cities the powers that rightfully belong to them as was granted in our Glorious Constitution by our Founding Fathers. One last thought on our local taxes and 1 am not alone in this. A tax raise on our 1975 taxes of from 200 to 300 percent is ridiculous and F. C. Gillette unjustified. Victor, Idaho PROUD AMERICANS!!!??? Dear Editor: Following are a few projects, out of hundreds equally as silly and stupid, which your representatives" in Congress have been authorizing as you get your financial backs pressed against the wall: $20,324 for the study of the mating calls of Central American frogs. $70,000 to study the smell of perspiration Australian of aborigines. $32,459 to officials of Kenya for the purchase of extra wives. $2,000,000 to communist dictator Tito to buy a yacht. Makes you proud to be an American, doesn't it? Before and during the Revolutionary War the battle-cr- y was no taxation without representation". Apparently ours is worse with representation than theirs was without it. But we really dont have true representation as to taxation. In 1913 Congress unlawfully abdicated its constitutional responsibility to regulate the value of money to a privately owned corporation of monopoly the Federal Reserve System, which most Americans mistakenly believe is owned by the government.. These money trusters secretly regulate and issue the currency of the United States; they really answer to no one; they need no permission to do what they do, they have stolen the silver and gold from behind American currency; when they cause inflation, it is being done by a private corporation which has never had a public audit in the 62 years of its existence. When they cause inflation it is taking your property without legislative approval; it is worse than taxation without representation it is taxation by a private corporation of Rockefeller- Rothschild complexion. We now begin our celebration of the Bicentennial. The Bicentennial of what? The 200th anniversary of a tax rebellion, of a tax revolution against own our government! Liberty only comes when the people demand it. Government never voluntarily grants it, but continually diminishes it as its politicians engage in their greedy bankers empire-buildin- Resisters g. life, fortune and honor", not just income taxes! Ladies and gentlemen, if you dedicate WAGE LAWS DENY EMPLOYMENT Government can create jobs any time it wants to, millions of jobs, by merely lowering the minimum wage rates. Theres work to be done and people who want to do the work, and all that keeps them from getting those jobs are the minimum wage rates so high that they are far above what doing that work is worth. Its like the customer complaining to d her butcher about his 98 hamburger, when the butcher across the street was advertising 39 d hamburger. Asked why she didnt then buy across the street, she explained they were sold out. So what good are high minimum wage rates when there arent any jobs at those high rates? So why cant people be free to take less to get a job if they want to? -- J. Kesner Kahn cents-a-poun- cents-a-poun- disapprove of why go through the hypocricy of participating in a Bicentennial which will honor the greatest patriots and heroes of all tax-rebelli- tax--rebe- ls, time? If you disapprove of tax rebellion, why don't you blaat like sheep, for many of. the gutless wonders of the community are headed for a socialist-shearing. W. Vaughn Ellsworth Mesa. Arizona 85201 |
