WAS A BRIT THE MYSTERIOUS INVENTOR OF KLEPTOCURRENCY?
by Joseph P. Farrell, Giza Death Star:
Before we get down to this week’s blogs, I want to wish everyone (again) a blessed Paschatide. This past week was Orthodox holy week and I appreciate everyone’s patience for the changes in scheduling and so on during the past two weeks. This Friday, in fact, we return to our regular schedule of vidchats, with an old format vidchat scheduled for 2PM US Central time, weather permitting (of course). For those newer to the website, the old format vidchat differs from the new in only one respect, and that is that you email your questions and comments directly to me at Vardas3@hotmail.com, rather then posting them in the members’ area comments boards. Remember to keep your comments and questions to about a page length. If you’re uncertain about the length, print out your email prior to emailing them to me to check the length. We are still constrained by time limits. Also, be sure, on old format vidchats, to put VIDCHAT COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS in all capital letters in the subject header. This helps me to spot your email and make sure it gets saved for the chat. With that, down to the business of blogs:
