Need to Know is as serious as it gets, but laughter is good for the soul and helps maintain sanity amid the chaos. 

Hillary phoned the president’s office shortly after midnight. “I need to talk to the president, it’s an emergency!”, exclaimed Hillary. After some cajoling, the president’s assistant agreed to wake him up. “So, what is it that’s so important that it can’t wait until morning”, grumbled Trump.  “A Supreme Court Judge just died, and I want to take his place.”, begged Hillary. “Well, it’s OK with me if it’s OK with the mortuary”, replied President Trump.

GOSH, I THINK SHE LIKES ME

THOSE PESKY SOCIAL-MEDIA ICONS

To: G. Edward Griffin
I hate those social media icons on the left side of your website. It obstructs the main article that I am trying to read. Please put an X on the top right side where I can click on it and get rid of it. I do not use any social media. Thanks. Keep up your good work

REPLY BY GEG:
It’s easy to remove the social-media icons. Just click on the double brackets at the bottom of the icons, and they all will go away. Thanks for writing.

DO FEDERAL TAXES GO TO THE FEDERAL RESERVE?
2017 May 21 from R Price

Mr. Griffin:
I was in banking business for over 20 years and have an MBA in finance. I want to know what happens to U.S. tax receipts after they reach the Fed. Also if Fed retains tax receipts, how is U.S. government funded other than through debt?

GEG REPLY:
Hello Price.
It is my understanding that tax receipts go to the Treasury, not the Fed. The Fed is a cartel of banks and, as such, has no right to tax receipts. That does not mean, however, that taxes are not used by the government to pay the Fed for debt service. Tax receipts are a source of government funding, but the biggest source is the loss of purchasing power, called inflation. As for the Fed, the greatest source of revenue is, not interest on the national debt, most of which is returned to the Treasury, but interest on debt paid to members of the cartel on loans of money created out of debt issued to entities other than the government.

WHY THE HATRED?
2017 May 24 from Phil Silverman
To: G. Edward Griffin
[This is in response to an article with the following headline: “An Illegal Alien, Hired As A Community Organizer, Was Arrested in Connecticut for Vandalism.”] See article.

Message from Phil Silverman: “Community organizer !!! Oh I get it, you mean a term relating to young black activists! A real negative to you? Guess what? Obama ran job recruitments in poor communities. Why the hatred from you??

REPLY BY GEG:
What on earth are you talking about, Phil? That is what these people call themselves. Why do you think that my using their own words represents hatred from me? Do you really believe that it is OK to vandalize property so long as it is done by a ‘young black activist’? And take a good look at the so-called activist. Does he look black to you?

DVD OF GLOBAL WARMING; AN INCONVENIENT LIE
2017 May 19 from Robert Freddie
Hello, I am very much interested in getting a copy of the DVD set, Global Warming; An Inconvenient Lie. It ha been below freezing here every night for the last two weeks. I live in Big Piney Wyoming, which has a sign as you enter: Welcome to the Icebox of the Nation. But I don’t ever remember it being this consistently cold in May.

REPLY FROM GEG:
Robert, your observation of global cooling is not an anomaly. Temperature records around the globe for the past twenty years – in spite of tinkering by corrupt scientists – have signaled the end of the Earth’s normal and predictable warming cycle and the beginning of the next, entirely normal, cooling cycle. It has nothing to do with the puny activity of man. The DVD album, Global Warming; An Inconvenient Lie, is now in stock at Reality Zone and can be ordered here.
