     Only the facts have been changed to protect the guilty

          TU from Stone, Maryland, reports:

·       Backstage at the Drug-War Announcement

·       The Physically Impossible Device Contract

GO from from Emeryville, Nevada, reports:

·       The Televangelist

·       Backstage at the Drug-War Announcement

TU reports, “I was visiting the studio at WHC Radio, in Stone, Maryland. There was a thin blue plastic curtain separating the newsroom from backstage. In the newsroom the two announcers were giving a live broadcast; top story was the announcement of the War on Cocaine. Backstage they were snorting cocaine. What made it worse is that one of the two newsmen was in on the scam, and the other one wasn’t. The War on Drugs has been a fraud from the beginning.”

·       The Physically Impossible Device Contract

TU reports, “When I was working for a military electronics firm, some of the designs were less than ideal. At one board meets I stood up and said, ‘This device is supposed to do something physically impossible. You do know that, don’t you?’ And the manager replied, ‘Yes, we do know that, but we have contracted to build it; so we will build it nonetheless.’ ”

·       The Televangelist

GO reports, “When I was visiting a friend, I encountered a familiar-looking stranger there. He wanted to buy some crack, but my friend does not deal in that stuff. The stranger had false hair, false teeth, and a false smile. He turned out to be a local televangelist. False every which way.”
