-Caveat Lector- BUT WE LOOK TO THE FUTURE ========================= (CNNS, 12/16/98) -- "This is FEMA," said the telephone caller. "You're busted!" It was a dark and stormy night. Pondering, weak and weary, over many a quaint and curious volume, this editor had picked up the phone. After hearing that it was FEMA and I was busted, I could only think: "Never a dull moment." But then came a bone-chilling laugh from the other end of the phone: "Hah-hah! Just kidding." And thus did yet another caller to this news service introduce themselves to me. But was this latest contact really "just kidding?" Or were they "connected"? I've met many interesting people these past few years. I've sometimes wondered: Who are they? The bottom line is, if they've got a good story, I'll listen. In a CNNS (Conspiracy Nation News Service) press release dated 12/14/98 ("'December's Seven': 'Samson' Dethroned!") it was stated that "CNNS looks to the future." This echoes what Helena Petrovna Blavatsky wrote in 1877: The mercenaries and parasites of the Press, who prostitute its more than royal power, and dishonor a noble profession, will find it easy to mock at things too wonderful for them to understand; for to them the price of a paragraph is more than the value of sincerity. From many will come honest criticism; from many -- cant. But we look to the future. [1] (How many have read Blavatsky before they condemn her?) The desert is not remote in southern tropics, The desert is not only around the corner, The desert is squeezed in the tube-train next to you, The desert is in the heart of your brother. [2] "I like the desert," says T.E. Lawrence. "It's clean." When the desert calls, few dare to listen. But how else to get a story? Bill Clinton's life may have been saved by the CNNS press release dated 12/11/98 ("'Heads Up': Bill Clinton Is Finished.") By stepping into a possible future, did CNNS alter it and thereby save Bill Clinton's life? "To satisfy the rational and enlightened mind... you neglect and belittle the desert." [3] When the desert calls, few dare to listen. Fewer dare to report. The desert is all around, like always, during this Holiday Season. To get a good story means to go out on a limb. From many will come honest criticism; from many -- cant. But we look to the future. ---------------------------<< Notes >>--------------------------- [1] *Isis Unveiled: Vol. I, Science* by H.P.
