(infamous local 'fortune' teller/clairvoyant) to tell you what it says.

Amazing, isn't it? I was born long enough ago to be able to say that never in my wildest dreams did I ever expect to come to this. Up until May 4, 1970 that is. The killings at Kent State finally pushed me into the reality camp. That's when I knew if we weren't careful, we would come to the place we are today.

Well, now that we're here I don't have a clue as to what we're going to do about it. We've been betrayed by our 'representatives' on BOTH sides of the aisle. I think that if they hadn't been so god damn busy feathering their own nests and took care of the business of the country like they were elected to do, we might have been able to prevent most of this. People on the Intelligence Committees didn't even bother to keep track or to demand to see what was going on. The Feinsteins of the world were too busy pushing money to their husband's various business enterprises and into their own bank accounts.

at least they did declassify it, so we're not going to get in trouble for looking at it.

I have to wonder what was in that small block they blacked out. Did they block it out because "the" or "of" or "for" would give information to our enemies, or did they just decide that a page of blacked out text with one two or three letter word looked stupid, so they went ahead and crossed it out too?
