If you are interested: www.etext.org/Pol itics/Beter.Audio.Letter/dbal01 {snip} No. 1--An important matter concerning evidence in the FORT KNOX GOLD SCANDAL No. 2--Recent indications from President Ford that the plans for ECONOMIC DEPRESSION AND DICTATORSHIP in America are still on track, and No. 3--An introduction to our next President and would-be-Dictator, NELSON ALDRICH ROCKEFELLER.

It shows how the law has been perverted to protect the guilty and also to oppress the citizenry.
The purpose of the legal system is to protect the elites from the wrath of those they plunder.
