My thanks to the many individuals who have been sending me 
information, both via e-mail and "snail mail".
 
In spite of my grandiose title ("Editor-in-chief"), I am really 
just one Illinoisan with a 16 megaherz 386-SX operating at 2400 
baud. So, while it is indeed true that we Illinoisans are 
extremely amazing people (witness, for example, Skolnick of the 
north), I can't possibly do justice to all the fine material I 
have received. Add to that the fact that I wanted to give a fair 
amount of priority to recent interviews with Sherman Skolnick, 
and you can see why I cannot cover *everything* in Conspiracy 
Nation.
 
And yet, as I say, much of the info I have been getting has been 
excellent. So let me pass along my own too-brief summaries of 
some good material:
 
  *** Number one is that several readers have pointed out that 
  Mr. Skolnick was in error in a recent interview when he 
  stated that Rupert Murdoch is the owner of the London *Sunday 
  Telegraph*. I will ask Sherman about this when next I 
  interview him, which should be by about April 28th. For the 
  record, Skolnick has himself pointed out that he is not 
  infallible. So, should he have made a mistake on this item, 
  that, in itself, does not discredit him.

  *** So you thought you knew all about "The dangers of 
  fluoride". So did I, when I first received info on this from 
  Robert J. Carton, Ph.D. (Truth About Fluoride, Inc., Box 219, 
  Buckeystown, MD 21717  Phone/FAX 301-874-2948) Perhaps you, 
  like me, had been trained to laughingly dismiss the fluoride 
  warnings as the stuff of right-wing crackpots. So had I been 
  thus trained, and so when issues of "The Fluoride Report" 
  arrived in my mailbox, my first reaction was "Great! Now the 
  'Outer Limits' has made contact."
      Yet I read through some of the material, including a 
  reprint from an article in the Fall 1992 issue of *Covert 
  Action* ("Fluoride: Commie Plot or Capitalist Ploy" by Joel 
  Griffiths): "The only people who question the safety of 
  fluoride, says the government, are quacks and lunatics -- 
  particularly of the far-right-wing variety... The nation... 
  has been successfully conditioned to think of fluoride solely 
  as a benevolent substance and to dismiss as a crackpot, 
  anyone who claims otherwise."
      But fluoride "is not biodegradable; whatever comes around 
  stays around, gradually accumulating in the environment, in 
  the food chain, and in people's bodies, where it settles in 
  bones and teeth."
      Dr. Carton charges in an accompanying letter that excess 
  fluoride in the food supply is behind many tooth problems. He 
  includes photos from a 1993 National Academy of Science 
  report, "Health Effects of Ingested Fluoride", showing the 
  havoc wreaked on children's teeth by "dental fluorosis".
      A great deal of further evidence is provided by Carton to 
  back up his charges. What with the avalanche of news of 
  cover-up, corruptions, et cetera that I am receiving, it 
  truly boggles the mind how much has been going on behind the 
  scenes. I regret that I cannot give more coverage to this 
  fluoride fraud. Interested readers can contact Dr. Carton for 
  further information.

  *** I have been receiving copies of a newletter called 
  "Relevance" from another CN reader. I may get around to 
  giving the info therein more coverage in the future. For now, 
  from their latest issue:
 
                   -+- Poster Boy -+-
 
    Gorbachev announces something called "Gorbachev 
    Foundation USA" will hold a "State of the World Forum" in 
    San Francisco. "Gorbachev has evidently taken over from 
    George Bush as official poster boy for the New World 
    Order. In early 1993, as Bill Clinton was taking office, 
    the Russian stated:
      The future needs... international institutions acting 
      on behalf of all. A higher institution that operates 
      on a consensus. Such a choice would narrow the 
      independence many believe the United States now 
      enjoys.
    Note that [Gorbachev] says many *believe* the United 
    States now enjoys independence." And indeed, the cover of 
    the March 1995 issue warns that in "...these first months 
    of 1995, the mask of 'democracy' is coming off, as our 
    would-be rulers begin... Dictating The Global Consensus."
 
          -+- The Dread "Criminal Syndicalism" -+-
 
    "This sinister offense includes anyone who knowingly...
      ...for, or on behalf of another, whose purpose is to 
      advocate or promote the doctrine of criminal 
      syndicalism, organizes or becomes a member of any 
      assembly, group or organization which he knows is 
      advocating or promoting the doctrine of criminal 
      syndicalism, distributes, sells, publishes, or 
      publicly displays any writing advocating or 
      advertising such doctrine. [Revised Code of Montana]
 
  Sounds like Red China, no? Over there, they have the dread 
  crime of "hooliganism". What will be next? We've already had 
  red scares, witch hunts, "drug wars", and now this -- 
  "criminal syndicalism". These guys must stay awake nights, 
  dreaming up this stuff. Coming soon: "conspiracy mongerers". 
  Stay tuned.
