1. If you wish to fill out your list, and add even more years onto it
I suggest that you pick up this book. It is well worth reading, and has lots of great insights in the RW movement in America. <http://www.guilford.com/cgi-bin/cartscript.cgi?page=politics/berlet.htm&cart_id=>

2. If you're looking for insight into facilitators
do a google on Red October Productions and PS Strategies. Also look for media consultants.

3. Be careful, remember what happened to
Mark Lombardi. How are you feeling about life? Are you considering suicide at all? Just be sure to let a lot of people know if you aren't- I tell everyone I talk to.

Does anyone else think that the whole Monica thing was a set up and it really didn't happen? I know this is over the top TFH but you really start to wonder...

4. You missed RevMoon and his funding of antiCommunist groups in the 70s
which gave him cover for infiltrating and asserting control over the religious leaders of other faiths, like Tim LaHaye and Jerry Falwell.

I believe Richard Viguerie was one of the earliest conservatives whose company was bailed out by Moon who then poured millions of dollars into his coffers. Moon and Viguerie then erected the media pedestal for Ollie North who used it to avoid jail.

5. Don't forget the MURDER of STEVE KANGAS
Killed in the bathroom of Richard Scaiffe's building while on his way to confront him. Kangas had connected all the dots concerning the conservative conspiracy.

Many people are trying to keep his memory alive by mirroring his old website:
