The Yipster Times reports
the same forces that scripted
the assassination of John
F. Kennedy area at work
plotting to kill Jimmy Carter
within six months of diplo
matic recognition of the
Castro regime.
The plot, to be performed
by Cuban exiles, will be made
to look as if a Puerto Rican
linked group did it. A series
of Puerto Rica-linked bombings
will culminate in an assassin
ation bombing of the president.
President Carter's position
is tenuous since JFK's killers
are still at large and the loyalty
of our secret police is in
question. The exiles, CIA,
FBI and Mafia have worked
together covertly for so long it
is hard to tell how far the plot
extends in any direction.
Carter, in an attempt to
counteract the problem, has
been purging the "cowboys"
from the CIA Plans Directorate.
So far over 1000 covert
operators have been "retired,"
including the ones who
supplied explosives to the
exiles just before Letelier got
blown away in Washington.
A crackdown by Feds on the
exiles is proceeding, but
slowly. Carter's best hope for
thwarting this plot is publicity
. . . and remember you read
it first....

These are courses desired
by students. This week's
courses are vocational ones
and not offered by Guilford
College. However, some
teacher or administrator might
be able to direct students to
a place where this educaiton
could be obtained.
Auto Mechanics - How an
engine works, minor repair
instruction, maintenance
procedures and how to
deal with gas stations/repair
shops and still have eating
money left.
Carpentry - This course is
envisioned as teaching basic
house-construction skills,
some design and providing %
practical experience.

In an unusual move, the
California Court of Appeals
has overturned the ruling of
a lower court, and has ordered
a jury trial in a $22 million
damage suit on behalf of a
seven-year old girl who was
gang-raped in San Francisco.
The suit contends that her
attackers got the idea for the
rape from a television program
which was broadcast shortly
before the attack.
The original suit was filed
in 1974 against the NBC
Television Network, and
against a San Francisco Tele
vision station which aired a
show called "Born Innocent,"
in which a gang rape was
dramatized. The suit charges
the network, and the station,
with criminal negligence in
the child's rape.
The New YOTK Post
reports that representatives of
the three major television
networks have been meeting
quietly with the audience
rating bureaus to determine
why the size of TV audiences
suddenly seems to be declining.
Recent Nielsen figures
indicate that nighttime viewing
is down by three percent since
last year, while day-time
viewing is down a whopping
10 percent.
Needless to say, the net
works are not widely
announcing these figures. The
Post reports that network
officials are huddling with the
rating bureaus, hoping to
prove that the surveys are
incorrect, and that the viewers
are not really tuning out.
At stake in the meetings,
The Post says, are huge
amounts of money in
sponsors' revenues. The net
works are said to be trying
to avoid what has been
termed a "sponsor agencies
panic" that could result in
the cancellation of millions of
dollars worth of TV commer
cials.
Guilfordian
Marvin Lewis, the attorney
for the child's family, says the
network offered the girl's
mother $15,000 to settle out of
court. When the mother
refused, Lewis charges, the
network then attempted to
have the child removed from
her mother's care, and a new
guardian appointed, claiming
the mother had mistreated the
child by submitting her to a
long and traumatic trial. Lewis
says the network's effort to
appoint a new guardian was
unsuccessful.
The suit is expected to be
heard by the San Francisco
superior court within the next
six months. The network
reportedly plans to argue
that any judgment against it
would result in an infringement
of NBC's first amendment
rights to free speech.

The Los Angeles Times
is out with the news that
U.S. Government narcotics
agents, during the first six
months of this year, spent a
hefty $3.19 million in cash to
purchase drugs and information.
The D.E.A. says it is spend
ing this cash in order to
break drug rings.
D.E.A. operations chief
Wayne Valentine told the
Times: "Buying and selling
drugs is the business. If you
don't have the money to get in
the door, you're blowing a
good technique."
However, other narcotics
analysis contend that federal
drug dealing in the millions
of dollars actually helps
dealers by creating a market
for their wares.
In 1976, the D.E.A. reported
ly spent nearly $8 million on
similar drug-buying schemes
which the agency calls the
"Pea Pie" program.
Here's a great new idea
passed on by a pentagon
researcher: why not have
the United States and Russia
swap a million citizens, each
to be held as hostages by the
other side, in order to prevent
a war?
Doctor Martin Goldstein,
a Political Science Professor
working temporarily at the
Pentagon, says this is just one
of the ideas sent to him after
he advertised in magazines for
citizens' suggestions as to
how to stop the spread of
nuclear weapons.
Goldstein says his ads
brought him 25 strange and
practical replies. One respon
dent, he said, wanted to
resume atmospheric nuclear
testing and invite the public,
so that they would develop a
horror of nuclear weapons
from seeing them up close.
Another said the World Bank
should be asked to deny loans
to all nations which had
bombs.
If you can't remember
what it was you had for lunch,

baloney or too many hot dogs.
A research team at the
University of California at Irbine
is reporting that "sodium
nitrate," a chemical widely
used in meats as a preserva
tive, produces amnesia in rats
and mice.
Dbctor Joel Martinez,
Associate Research Psycho-
Biologist, says his study raises
significant questions about the
chemical's effects on humans.
The doctor reports that two
groups of rats were trained not
to go along certain paths in a
maze because of the risk of
electric shocks. One group
was then given nothing, while
a second group was given low
doses of sodium nitrite.
Doctor Martinez says thai
while 50 percent of the normal
group remebered how to avoid
the shocks, only 20 percent
of those given sodium nitrate
were able to do so.
Sodium nitrite, which is
commonly found in red-colored
sandwich meats, is also
suspected of being a cancer
causing agent.
December 6,1977
Still another citizen suggest
ed nuclear arsenals might be
reduced simply by substitu
ting "Dud" bombs for live
ones on a certain percentage
of a country's missies. The
suggestion went on: (quote)
"Since the enemy won't know
which warheads are duds, a
nation could have the same
deterrent with a reduced
number of live warheads."
Professor Goldstein says
he plans to forward the
suggestions on to the Assistant
Defense Secretary for Inter
national Security Affairs.
Newly-declassified CIA
documents reveal that one of
the reasons behind the
Agency's secret drug exper
iments during the past 30 years
was an attempt to discover
a way to induce amnesia in
retiring CIA officers.
The documents indicate
that agency executives were
concerned about what they
called the "tremendous
amounts of information"
known to retiring CIA person
nel. The Agency hoped to
develop a chemical which
could be given to employees
to make them forget the
sensitive secrets they knew
about.
"Declassified Document
News," a Virginia publica
tion which indexes recently
declassified CIA documents,
quotes from one MK Ultra
memo which states, "Some
individuals in the Agency had
to know tremendous amounts
of information, and if a way
could be found to produce
amnesias . . . after the indiv
idual left the agency, it would
be a remarkable thing."
Other memos from another
secret CIA project known as
"Artichoke" quotes CIA
leaders as hoping to develop
techniques which would, in
their words, "guarantee
amnesia in certain individuals
specifically CIA personnel
about to retire from the
Agency..."
No one can remember if
such a chemical was developed.
