Anyone who gives publicity to terrorists and their cause has blood on their hands It must become illegal to identify the name and cause of terrorists who commit terrorist acts, let alone give their life story and put their photo on magazine covers. They are publicity stunts and any publicity is a reward for committing the act. Those who give them publicity should be held liable and made to compensate victims of subsequent terrorist acts.http://www.johntreed.com/…/68512835-terrorism-is-a-publicit… Not identified at Umpqua In the Umpqua terror incident, the police refused to identify the SOB.

My college classmate John Dallen said it would be interesting to see the list of all the felonies the Clintons appear to have committed.Let’s create that list:I started it in the 3/96 issue of my newsletter Real Estate Investor’s Monthly http://www.johntreed.com/…/john-t-reed-s-real-estate-invest… Whitewater felonies The article I wrote was called “Whitewater felonies.” It said she and Bill appear to have violated the following federal felonies in Whitewater which essentially was a series of mortgage applications and documents to extend a necessary line of credit.

The only enemy she recognized was the media and the Republican Party; her only goal, the presidency. The only relevance of safeguarding...

I stand corrected. In my book How To Protect Yourself from Hyperinflation & Depression, 2nd edition (http://www.johntreed.com/…/john-t-reed-s-book-on-hyperinfla…), I said my research turned up many examples of disinflation, like the 1981 ending of inflation in the US by Reagan and Volcker, but none of dis-hyperinflation. Disinflation means the currency inflates, then the inflation subsides, and the nation in question still uses the same currency that was hyperinflated. I mentioned that to a guest at a dinner party Wednesday. He said he could give me an example of dis-hyperinflation and that he was involved in it.He is George P.

Another died in a drunk driving accident after flunking out. Kill a trainee, leave the military A person dying in training ought to end the careers of the closest three people above the deceased in the chain of command. By definition, training is closely supervised and the conditions are tightly controlled. I went through five full years of Army training—West Point, ranger school, signal officers basic, parachutist school, radio officer school and satellite officers school. Guys died in ranger in my class, the class before me, and the class after...
