Anti-Neocons

As you can see, in his June 23 briefing, he not only mentions Phelps as being part of FBI Division Five, but he also stresses that Al Gore is the duly elected president from 2000. However, he has done this, even after Phelps on June 21 with Lenny exposed the Clinton connections to selling out to the Chinese WITH GORE AS A PARTY TO IT. That's just one of the many things Phelps has to say about Gore being completely controlled.

Why is Heneghan talking about Szymanski? Bloom and Phelps mention him and the Leo wanta thing in the last four minutes of the most recent cloak show.
http://www.cloakanddagger.de/shows/webc ... E%2026.mp3

Phelps talks about the Beatles being a jesuit-tavistock op, about the electric car, and last of all, the leo wanta scandal and Christohper Story's credibility. Phelps doesn't buy the Wanta story and neither do I. Especially when Story says the Vatican wants to help repatriate these mystery funds.

For what this is worth, merely speculating of course, it makes even less sense that L would be released (from jail), unless induced to accept early release in exchange for something perceived to be of extreme value to 'them'. That he was left with heart and lungs in tact is itself a mystery, given that 'they' had at least some of the funds. If obtaining critical encryption codes or account nos. or other info was an issue, and if he was the sole holder as Trustor or Trustee, then they would need him alive to eventually get it out of him. From what I understand hypnosis and advanced pharmacology could more than take care of that issue. So, what is it?

Your hypothesis about the bigger picture of the jes-u-its needing to destroy the American [protestant] republic is likely much closer to the all of it than not. Beyond the isolated fact issue of the 'money' and gaining unfettered access and control of it, is the issue of how to use an orchestrated default on the repatriation of it to bring about intensification of certain conditions inside the states and the U.S., as well as to bring about a 'reasonable cause' action by foreign banks and national authorities to crimp the hose on funds flows into the US in excess of 100M. That limitation on value seems arbitrary and almost laughable to me, because anyone could easily get around it by transacting any number of values at any level beneath it to attain an aggregate amount equivalent thereto.

If L is incommunicado with old friends and associates, it may be to protect them. The less they know, the less likely they are to become a target, and the less susceptible to manipulation, coercion etc. Can't squeeze blood from a stone, so just keep all your old buds dumb as a rock. Whatever his motives and m.o. he is likely only discussing this thing with those on a need to know basis, which brings up the question: Why is he talking to you at all, except that he needs to. The question needs qualified further, as to why he needs you or why does he think he needs you, or why is he led to believe that he needs you?

L W cannot repatriate funds into the US and expect it to have any direct benefit to the People of the states, unless there is [regime] change, and I am not talking about just the current admin. I am talking about the way the U.S. is constructed in law, and how the People have no status or standing any longer as freeman Citizens of the Union of several states. The Bill of Rights pertains only to state nationals [non-citizen US nationals] outside of the United States, District of Colombia and its federal territories [States], which are all instrumentalities thereof. The only absolute right of any US person or citizen is to 'residency' in the US. That is it. Everything operates by waiver, assent, acquiescence, presumption, and assumption. The US is in bankruptcy reorganization since 1933, but was in debt up to its eyeballs since the end of the 'Civil War'. The Rothchilds had carried on a multi-generational effort [war against the USA] to gain official government sanction to establish a private 'federal' central bank of the US, and it took them until 1913 to do it. It operated under Congressional charter for the first twenty years, and when it was to sunset in March 1933, the national emergency under NEW DEAL SOCIALIST FDR was declared, and the US has operated without lawful money or any effective 'general' common law since. 'General common law' means Constitutional law, the Constitution being a common law document [of the land as distinct from the 'sea' and admiralty-commercial-contract-military law]. Rothchilds were interested in penetrating the US so the US could become eternally indebted and brought under their dynastic control. The jes-u-its wanted to bring the US into the Vat empire, and had to find progressive ways to undermine and usurp the efforts of the protestant reformation Founders. They and all other non-catholics are deemed under Vat cannon law to be heretics. In short, the inquisition and a silent crusade to either convert or exterminate has been going on in this nation since its founding.

Why you, Greg? Why now? Why is he still pumping air? Even if his heart and mind are clear and in the right place, there is NO WAY that the cabal would ever patriate funds unless they had exclusive legal authority and control over their disposition and use. As this regime is not about creating peace and prosperity anywhere in the world, and certainly not in the US/USA, if funds were eventually patriated, the legal standing of the People as 'US citizens' would preclude them from having any common law right or benefit from it. The US Treasury and the 'Dept of the Treasury-IRS, Peurto Rico [a US territory and possession]' would be the sole beneficiaries. Anything of value in the UST is automatically liened, encumbered, and subject to seizure and confiscation at the will of the creditors on the public debt, which is now beyond even being able to make 'interest only' payments on, and which payments can only be made in gold. The US federal corp would have to be restructured and recast in a radical manner for the W Plan to ever do more than endow the UST and those who use it as their private piggy bank, along with the office of the president and offices of congress, to create negotiable instruments for new debt called 'appropriations bills'. Once the bills are signed into law, they are immediately monetized and become new public debt in the system. If the UST were to be reloaded with new funds in an immediate upfront lump, and under structured payments based upon projected cash flows from future taxes on certain long term ancillary transactions, the UST would be like a sive holding water. The IMF runs the UST and the Sec of the Treasury sits on the Board of the IMF and has taken an oath of allegiance to it, which supercedes the oath of office as Secretary of the UST. In fact, the Secretary of the UST is the Keeper, Receiver, and chief Trustee on the US bankruptcy to its creditors.

If L is not aware of these things, he needs to play catch-up and spend a few years in a law library.

04 January: Investigators inform AmeriTrust Groupe, Inc. that Vice President Cheney personally telephoned the Vatican and ‘ordered’ that no payments are to be released and/or paid, especially to Ambassador Leo Wanta/ AmeriTrust Groupe, Inc. (as previously reported).

Cheney's intervention reflected inter alia the fact that he is alleged to have forced Ambassador Negroponte to leave his post as Director of National Intelligence, leaving Cheney himself in de facto charge of instruments such as the National Security Agency (NSA), and of sensitive financial transactions following the departure of the Treasury Secretary. Since the Vatican was involved directly in urging and facilitating the Wanta Settlement, not least given its huge holdings of CMKX stock and its insistence that the Settlement MUST be finalised in order to prevent a global financial and economic catastrophe, the tidal waves from this crisis are truly reaching the four corners of the earth. It will be a miracle if sanity returns in time to calm matters and make the Settlement, before confidence collapses.

Further, when the Arctic Beacon questioned whether the Vatican was involved in holding up the Wanta settlement, Cottrell categorically denied any involvement by Rome, but later issued a story through writer Story in London, indicating the Vatican was actually trying to help release the Wanta funds.

And after this statement was made it was immediately met by a host of "true American patriots" with suspicion and even laughter, this faction of patriots knowing that the sinister and evil Jesuit Order and the Vatican "have no intentions of doing anything good for the American people and its economy."

Further, the Wanta camp, through writer Story's comments, never wanted to seriously probe and the Vatican issue and even stated the Queen of England was on the good side, helping them retrieve the money while, this same faction of "true American patriots", knows the Queen works together with the Vatican evil-doers and is a part of the Vatican-led New World Order.

The Legal History of Leo Wanta

As I have mentioned before, the evidence points to Leo Wanta, not being an international finance wiz and secret agent for the Reagan administration, but being the owner of a failed vending machine company who got thrown in prison for tax evasion. A reader pointed me towards the Wisconsin State Records which back this up. Most telling was his appeal:

http://www.wicourts.gov/ca/opinion/Disp ... eqNo=13586

On May 8, 1995, Wanta’s four-day trial commenced. DOR agent Dennis Ullman testified for the State. Using a simple method of showing actual payments to or on behalf of Wanta from a New Republic bank account, Ullman demonstrated that Wanta had taxable income in 1988 and 1989. Wanta was the only defense witness. He testified that he never intentionally filed fraudulent tax returns; that he had no income between 1986 and 1989, but survived by borrowing and selling personal property; that money received and vehicles purchased were for his business; that he was not a resident of Wisconsin in 1989; and that he was not liable for the Falls Vending taxes because he was not the owner of the company. Wanta’s testimony also included grandiose and unbelievable claims.

The jury convicted Wanta on all six counts. On September 20, 1995, Wanta’s new attorney, Epstein, again expressed concern about Wanta’s competency, even though Wanta still asserted that he was competent. The court ordered a fifth competency evaluation. On October 27, 1995, a competency hearing was held and the court admitted the reports of Doctors Van Rybroek, Friedman and Treffert. No other evidence was presented. On October 30, 1995, the court issued an opinion concluding that Wanta was competent.

On November 20, 1995, the court sentenced Wanta to two years in prison on Counts 3 through 6, to run consecutively, for a total of eight years and imposed a six-year consecutive probation sentence on Counts 1 and 2. On June 3, 1996, the court ordered Wanta to reimburse the State Public Defender $4,167.64 for the cost of legal representation. The court also ordered Wanta to pay restitution of $24,900.91, which did not include Wanta’s payment of $14,129 applied to a civil fraud penalty. On January 23, 1998, the court reduced the total restitution to $14,128.10 because the original amount erroneously included interest. The court denied Wanta’s postconviction motions, and this appeal followed.


The records show a long history of legal and financial problems going clear back to 1982, including being sued by Western Union for owing them $2,279.00.

He also apparently owed money to his phone company, and a copy place. You would think a top Secret Service agent with access to billions of dollars could pay his phone bill.

Leo Wanta Update: Who is Michael C. Cottrell, MS?

In my last post on the strange story of Leo Wanta, I mentioned one of his co-conspirators, a man named Michael C. Cottrell, who is represented as some sort of financial expert, who is treasurer of Wanta's corporation AmeriTrade Group. Apparently, in search of a $4.5 trillion fortune, Wanta decided to gather the best finance minds in the world to aid him, but rather than obtaining investment bankers from New York, London, or San Francisco, he went to the fianance Mecca of Erie, Pennsylvania, where Cottrell runs a small investment firm named Pennsylvania Investments. His resume is available online here. I looked it up on Hoover's, and apparently it is a real firm, run out of his house, with a total of 3 employees and $300,000 a year in sales. Which would make him a rather low paid investment banker.

After listening to an interview with Cottrell on Greg Szymanski's radio show I finally figured the connection out. Cottrell claims that he found out about Wanta's money while writing his master's thesis in Administration of Justice at Mercyhurst College, a small university in Erie. Cottrell is quite proud of his thesis, titled "Elite Power & Capital Markets", and mentions it often. The letters "MS" also follow his name on just about every mention on-line, like some type of professional designation. One of the conspiracy websites even gives this hilarious endorsement:

That Bush Sr. was 'out of the loop' in respect of Wanta's operations has been specifically reconfirmed by Michael C. Cottrell, M.S., the Executive Vice President and Treasurer of AmeriTrust Groupe, Inc. on page 74 of his classic study 'Elite Power and Capital Markets',13th February 2002, Administration of Justice Department, Mercyhurst College, citing Peter Kornbluh and Malcolm Byrne, 'The Iran-Contra Scandal: The Declassified History', The New Press, New York, 1993, page 410.


I am not sure how a master's thesis written four years ago at an obscure university quite counts as "classic"...

Anyway, now Cottrell is the treasurer of AmeriTrade Group, which according to the Virginia State Corporation Commission was actually incorporated for a filing fee of $50 on May 20th, 2004 with 5,000 shares. Their office is given as that of Stephen D. Goodwin, also listed as a Vice President, who is a lawyer in Richmond. I think they need to do a better job of maintaining the corporation, as they owe $110 in fees and penalties, which as far as I can tell was for being 3 months late filing their annual report.

In the Szymanski interview Cottrell seems to be rather taken by Wanta, and honestly believes he has all this money. He is rather on the paranoid side though. He believes the NSA is intercepting his e-mails and used that to steal a $300 billion deal he had going with DeutscheBank. How a $300,000 a year firm gets that kind of deal, is beyond me.

A similiar story popped up on-line.

US intelligence operatives admitted on 6th December that the National Security Agency (NSA) has been systematically attacking and shutting down the computers
of Ambassador Leo Wanta and Michael C. Cottrell, M.S.. In fact the Editor is aware that the NSA has been attacking Mr Cottrell’s computers non-stop since April, this year, if not much earlier. The way this is done, and the use of NSA computer-targeting ops to steal business, are described in the recently published double issue of International Currency Review, which has exposed a great deal of the illegal activity which is now on its last legs. It’s too bad these criminals didn’t clean up their act sooner.


Cottrell, although he does actually appear to have an investment background of some type, still seems to have little idea of what he is talking about. When asked by Szymanski how Wanta's money was able to go from a few billion to $70 trillion in a little over a decade, Cottrell replied that "Interest rates were high in the late 70s and 80s, as much as 14%." Interest rates were in fact, not that high anytime after the mid-80s, and even if he had managed to get this rate, anyone with the most basic understanding of finance would realize it does not compound this quickly. For instance if he started in 1991, even at the extremely high compounding rate of 14%, in order to have $70 trillion in 2006 he still would have had to start with the ridiculous sum of $9.8 trillion, which in 1991 was far more than the US GDP.

I still am not sure what type of scam they are up to, but I will keep my eyes open.

The Strange Saga of Leo Wanta

I belong to a mailing list for 9/11 conspiracy theorists. Needless to say I am not very popular there, I am surprised they haven't banned me yet. In any case, they brought this story to my attention, if only because it was so bizarre. Looking into it, not coincidently, came up with the same list of conspiracy theorist paranoid anti-globalists familiar to followers of 9/11 conspiracies, Rense, RBN, the American Free Press, and Karl Schwarz. So I decided to do a piece on it.

THE WORLD'S BIGGEST-EVER BANKING HEIST

2.7% OF $27.5 TRILLION CREAMED OFF THE GIGA-FUNDING OPERATION

The following is summary of receipts identified in handwritten analytical notes performed by the distinguished US Secret Service Treasury agent, Leo Wanta, on some of the transactions involved in the giga-financing operation involving a colossal loan to the Illuminati from 200+ international banks worth $27.5 trillion, to finance the 'Global Security Environment', a.k.a. the New Underworld Order, which is to be enforced by the United States as the enforcement arm for the project. Sufficient funds were raised to bribe every policymaker, intelligence officer, ruler, Prime Minister, President and senior official for the whole of the 21st century. This fund is now worth $60-$70 trillion at a minimum – and with collateral leverage, probably far more. [List extracted from International Currency Review, Volume 30, Numbers 2/3, January 2005]:


This article is a rather long and incoherently rambling, it evens repeats the same items over and over again, as if they were never mentioned previously, but I will try and summarize it. Supposedly Leo Wanta claims that acting as a Secret Service/Treasury agent he made $27.5 trillion trying to crash the Soviet ruble under Reagan, but that this money (now grown to $60-70$ trillion) was stolen by the Illuminati. He was thrown in to a "Swiss dungeon" then extradicted back to Wisconsin, where he was put under house arrest, and jailed under trumped up tax evasion charges. I think that is what he is saying, it is rather hard to follow.

Anyway, Wanta, or Ambassador Wanta, he is now claiming to be an ambassador from the non-existent government of Somalia to both Canada and Switzerland, now says that he is trying to return this money, or at least $4.7 trillion of it, to its rightful owners, the US taxpayers. The global elite are of course trying to prevent this, because well... they are really mean. Needless to say this is attracting attention among the paranoid conspiracy theorists and the economic illiterate.

Even without doing any research, these claims are pretty silly. For starters, the Soviet Ruble, was a nonconvertible currency, with a limited market. Trying to profit off of manipulating it would be a futile exercise. Even George Soros only made $2 billion of off his famous attempt to crash the Bank of England. A considerable amount of money no doubt, but less than 1/100 of 1% of what Wanta is claiming. For comparison, this would also be more than 10 times the entire Soviet GDP at the time.

So what is the history of this man, how did he come up with this? I was curious, so I looked up some articles in Factiva. A Google search, unfortunately will only come up with the same self-referential conspiracy sites. It turns out, that in fact he does have a history.

The AP printed an article on April 8, 1998, indicating he was trying to sell pistols to Manuel Noriega:

(AP) _ A secret memo outlining a plan by Panamanian strongman Manuel Antonio Noriega to acquire thousands of semi-automatic pistols has been leaked to an opposition leader by a rebel member of Panama's military.

The proposed acquisition of the Browning 9mm pistols is part of a sizable weapons buildup by Panama's Defense Forces that got under way shortly after Panama's crisis began six weeks ago with Noriega's ouster of President Eric Arturo Delvalle.

The memo was sent to Noriega on April 1 by Leo Wanta, president of AmeriChina Global Management Group Inc., an arms exporting firm based in Appleton, Wis.


Covert operative, or enterprising businessman? You decide.

It does not stop here though, apparently he was involved in manipulating the Ruble. Well at least trying to scam people. From Insight Magazine 17 June 1991:

Enter Leo Wanta: One of the names most frequently cited by those who got caught up in ruble mania is that of Leo Emil Wanta, director general of the New Republic/USA Financial Group. Though few claim to have met him face-to-face, a lot of people heard his story over the telephone. What he told them, they say, is that his business was acquiring rubles on behalf of the U.S. government in order to provide an infusion of hard currency to the Soviet economy.

It might be too much to say that Wanta single-handedly created the myth that rubles were in demand, but he did more than his share. He has floated dozens of pieces of paper relating the sale or purchase of rubles in amounts of up to 105 billion rubles (worth roughly $6 billion at the black market rate). There is no evidence that any of these deals ever closed, but he has shown a rare gift for getting other folks to trot hither and yon.

Almost every banker contacted for this story recalls at least one telephone conversation with him. It was on his behalf that officials at Natwest and Volksbank went fishing for a high-profit deal on their own banks' stationery.

A Midwestern banker encountered Wanta last summer and tells a story that stands for many. "No sooner had we begun talking about the possibility of opening an account than I began to get inquiries from traders here and abroad and in tiny Pacific islands asking whether his company was good for a $10 million spot transaction. I said, `I'm sorry, but we're still checking it out ourselves,' and they'd say, `That's all I wanted to know, click.' "

New Republic's letterhead features a fashionable address in Vienna, but Wanta's phone rings in Appleton, Wis. In a two-hour conversation, he attributes his start in politics and finance to the kindness of the late Sen. Alexander Wiley, a Wisconsin Republican, who sent him to Dale Carnegie to cure a stuttering problem. He mentions various careers as a high-tech defense engineer, a deputy in the Waukesha County sheriff's office, a Milwaukee policeman, stints in the Nixon and Reagan campaigns, adviser to the Drug Enforcement Administration and as a perennial candidate for various Cabinet and sub-Cabinet posts.

"My background is in intelligence," Wanta says, while denying that he has posed as an agent of the U.S. government in ruble deals. Instead, he calls himself a "task force member," adding cryptically: "Do your homework. You'll find out we are who we are. We're the good guys."

The public record is somewhat less than definitive. It shows that Wanta is the owner of a failed vending machine company in Menomonee Falls, Wis., against which a number of legal judgments remain outstanding.

Marquette University, which he offers as one of his educational credentials, says he once registered for a continuing education course in 1963, only to cancel two days later.

A letter that appeared to have been signed by an employee of the First Wisconsin Bank of Appleton , dated last summer and addressed to a Swiss bank, attests that Wanta is a corporate client in good standing and has been since the 1960s. The employee, Jill Campbell , denies ever signing such a document. Wanta claims to have recently had $1.4 billion on deposit at National Westminster, but a bank spokesman says no account was ever opened. And so on.

As for rubles, Wanta claims to have signed trade agreements worth $50 billion with Moscow, covering everything from exporting oil and vodka to rebuilding gas pipelines, to the importation and distribution of food. He was floating offers to buy rubles in order to fulfill these contracts. Profit, or even completing the deal, was not
the primary objective, however: "All we say is that we are Big Brother monitoring what the hell is going on out there."

Most bankers have another explanation: "The whole thing stinks from A to Zed," says Frederick Gevers of PaineWebber Inc.'s office in Geneva, Switzerland.


The story is backed up by other accounts. From the Capital Times on 21 November 1995, in an article titled, rather tellingly, "DELUSIONAL' CON MAN GETS EIGHT-YEAR TERM":

Leo Wanta, the Appleton man who claimed to be an international businessman with connections to government agencies but was portrayed by prosecutors as an international con artist, will be spending the next few years in Wisconsin prisons.

Wanta, 55, who was convicted in May of tax evasion, was given an eight-year prison term Monday by Dane County Circuit Judge Michael Torphy, who also ordered a six-year probation to follow.

For his part, Wanta -- described as delusional by his own attorney -- continued his scam to the end, claiming the court had no jurisdiction over him, that he was a victim of a vicious Department of Revenue and state Justice Department.

"I know there is a conspiracy and subterfuge here," Wanta said when given a chance to speak.

At various times he has claimed to be a CIA agent, an ambassador from Somalia, a close friend of former Presidents Ronald Reagan and George Bush, and an international businessman.


It continues later with:

"Mr. Wanta is in fact a con man, nothing more and nothing less," he said. "He is a con man who cons con men."

Haag said Wanta was arrested in Switzerland in 1993 for attempting an $81 million bank fraud. Wanta claimed diplomatic immunity in that case, contending he was the Somalian ambassador to Canada. The Swiss deported him to the United States, where he was arrested in New York on the Wisconsin tax fraud charge.

Wanta is also described in the book, "A Thieve's World," as being involved in an attempted scam involving Russian rubles.

"He is a world class con man," said Haag. "A snake oil salesman. But he was unable to sell that snake oil to the jury."

Haag asked for a sentence of 13 years in prison and another 12 on probation.

Epstein, on the other hand, said Wanta clearly is delusional. He called Haag's allegations "a lot of shadows and smoke and allegations of wrong doing around the world," but pointed out Wanta has never before been convicted of a crime.

"The portrait that has been painted by Doug Haag is not the real Leo Wanta," said Epstein. "He exists in a different world," Epstein said of his client. "The fact of the
matter is he is in a different orbit," Epstein said, adding that Wanta actually believes the stories he tells.

So once again, the paranoids turn a fake into a conspiracy. A delusional vending machine salesman becomes an international banker for the covert elite.

that Vice President Cheney personally telephoned the Vatican and ‘ordered’ that no payments are to be released and/or paid, especially to Ambassador Leo Wanta/ AmeriTrust Groupe, Inc.

TEXT OF WANTA'S PETITION FOR RELIEF IN FEDERAL COURT
Sunday 24 June 2007 04:19
UPDATE 28 June 2008: Three top crooks out: Blair, Wolfowitz, Greenspan. More to follow.

UPDATE: 27 June 2007: The Editor has now received written confirmation that TWO Group of Eight intelligence sources have CONFIRMED the previously reported incarceration of Dr Greenspan. The original sources of this information were Gold Badges who are in contact with the Ambassador and Michael C. Cottrell, M.S. By definition, Gold Badge information cannot be elaborated upon. Be it known, therefore, that the Editor holds TWO written statements concerning the accuracy of our report on the jailing of Dr Greenspan being confirmed by these TWO SEPARATE G-8 intelligence agencies. The second intelligence source confirmation was received by the Editor this morning. We cannot elaborate any further BECAUSE WE HAVE REPORTED ALL THAT WE KNOW.

We have also received information that Cheney 'is not hiding out'. When we first reported what is posted below, Mr Cheney WAS OR HAD BEEN hiding out. Are we expected to have a camera in his bedroom? What we report is accurate to the best of our information and belief AT THE TIME OF POSTING. But just as it is currently the afternoon in London, whereas a few hours ago it was the morning, so can we not be held responsible for circumstances in this dynamic situation when they change, AS THEY ARE APT TO DO, after we have reported.

The Editor reserves the right, at the appropriate time, to publish all emails on this coverage which contain 'whacky' assertions, distortions, lies, convoluted and diversionary argumentation, libels or other verbal aberrations from people who, instead of taking direct action to assist in the process of preventing the United States from destroying itself, and the Rest of the World with it – which is what we are being obliged BY DEFAULT to do – are content instead with attempting to shoot the poor messenger. Such people have no guts, no first-hand special knowledge, no integrity, no patience, no common sense, and no clue.

PLEASE READ the Ambassador's Petition for a Writ of Mandamus if you haven't already done so.


Further:

WILL ANYONE WHO WISHES TO EMAIL THE EDITOR ON WANTAGATE PLEASE DO HIM THE COURTESY OF READING THE WANTAGATE REPORTS IN OUR ARCHIVE FIRST, SO AS TO FAMILIARISE HIMSELF OR HERSELF WITH THE FACTS, BEFORE VENTURING ANY COMMENTS, INTERPRETATIONS, PREJUDICES OR OTHER 'TAKES' ON THE DEVELOPING WANTAGATE CRISIS AND ITS RAMIFICATIONS. THIS SIMPLE MEASURE WOULD SAVE US ALL A GREAT DEAL OF TIME AND WOULD ALSO SERVE THE PURPOSE OF GENERAL ENLIGHTENMENT, WHICH SEEMS TO BE VITALLY NECESSARY ALL ROUND
