    Concealing the Transfer Agreement.

    Only the history and parts of the story that sell the product that you are selling should be made public and common knowledge. The dirty parts should be well hidden.

    Who knew that Hitler helped found Israel?

    Not exactly the kind of godfather you wnat people to know about, eh?

    That is exactly why everything we know about this situation and everything the media and the establishment portray about this situation is suspect.

    On other news, Alcohol prohibition wasn't done because of people drinking alcohol. It was done to prevent farmers from making their own fuel to power their trucks, tractors and cars with stills and to ensure that the makers of gasoline would have a monopoly onthe internal comopustion engine's fuels. AND THAT, is what caused the great depression. Farmers couldn't afford fuel, couldn't plow, couldn't pay mortgages, and then came the dust bowl to blow away the unplanted soil.

    BUT STANDARD OIL MADE OUT LIKE A BANDIT!

    Your history isn't worth the paper it is printed on.
