Anyone want a Pulitzer?

Or maybe disappear?

World Vision an evangelical order which often fronts for the CIA +
John Hinckley, Sr., an oil man, reputed CIA officer, friend of George Bush + Dan Mitrione + fund-raising for the Richard Nixon '68 campaign + Richard Dwyer, CIA agent + missing $26 million + Jim Jones = 913 people dead in Jonestown; Jonestown a CIA Medical Experiment

I know, I know, I'm not a big conspiracy theorist but it really is time for the government to release the 5,000 pages they kept out of the final report.

I only mention this because I just watched a pretty good show on this and it made me think, what has historically been the best mind control technique? Religion. The Republicans have this down pat, after this last election and all of the right-wing rantings from the pulpit I realized as long as they have the church, they have the country.

1. Oh! I thought you were suggesting I write a crappy novel about NYC

which I will be forced to read for my book club. My bad.

[MichaelHarris]

2. write it about

The Texas City Explosion in 1947 and why was so much Ammonium Nitrate was being shipped through the port city without informing them of the danger. Now that's a good story.

3. But if it's not about New York, its chances for a Pulitzer plummet

However, I didn't mean to hijack the thread. All that information is interesting and I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole.

6. hmmmm

a good New York story? Well I like the one about the workers who built the bridges and how they actually discovered the divers disease known as the bends. Working deep in the cassions or footings for the bridges they suffered the same symptoms. A story about one of the workers and their families during 19th century NY would be kinda cool.

My mind is so full of useless information.

4. Hinckley?

Any relation to... well, you know.

I know Jeb and Neil Bush were friends with some relatives of the guy who shot Reagan.

[MichaelHarris]
