-Caveat Lector-
"FURBY NIGHTMARE" CONTINUES
---------------------------
(CNNS, 12/13/98) -- Much unsettling news has followed the arrival
of the "Furby" to our shores.
In a CNNS (Conspiracy Nation News Service) press release dated
11/30/98, we noted that MASS HYSTERIA had arrived with the Furby.
Horrible fights had broken out in retail outlets, as parents
kicked and scratched each other, desperate to own one of LIMITED
QUANTITIES of the "lovable furry creature."
In her Internet news service and on radio talk shows, "Ru Mills"
tried to warn us about LINGUISTIC MANIPULATIONS associated with
the Furby. Will the Furby presence, or something like it,
eventually dominate our homes? Will Furbies begin to displace
parents in the nurturing of our children?
Now, syndicated columnist Arianna Huffington has weighed in on
the matter. In her latest column, Ms. Huffington alerts her
readers that the Furby is manufactured in RED CHINA by SLAVE
LABOR. ("Waiting For Furby", 12/10/98)
Much unsettling news has followed the arrival of the Furby to our
shores. Here is an outline of events, temporally associated with
the "lovable furry creature"; taken together they encompass an
ONGOING FURBY NIGHTMARE
** Bill Clinton's Farewell Speech. On Dec. 11, 1998, Bill
Clinton gave a sudden, abrupt, and strange Rose Garden speech.
In a CNNS press release dated 12/11/98, we called that brief
Clinton address his "Farewell Speech To America." An Op-Ed piece
in the Dec. 13, 1998 New York Times supports our earlier
contention that Bill Clinton has indeed said his final good-byes.
According to the NYTimes article, Bill Clinton can no longer
address America "without the risk of snickers." Meanwhile, on
Matt Drudge's television show of Dec. 12, 1998, Mr. Drudge
reportedly juxtaposed film footage of former-President Richard
Nixon waving his final good-bye, in 1974, with film footage of
Bill Clinton also waving good-bye, also as he boarded a
helicopter at the White House. [1] Meanwhile, in Israel,
severely anti-Clinton posters began appearing, "showing Clinton
in a black-and-white traditional Arab headdress with the Hebrew
words ``I am a Palestinian'' written above." (Reuters, 12/10/98)
Prior to the assassination (or disappearance) of Yitzhak Rabin,
severely anti-Rabin posters had begun appearing, unfairly showing
Rabin wearing a Nazi uniform. And in Dallas, in 1963, posters of
a severe anti-JFK nature were posted throughout the city, shortly
before President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Time magazine
also, according to Sherman Skolnick, had placed an eerie portrait
of John Kennedy on its cover, just prior to his being shot dead
in Dealey Plaza.
** A Furby Christmas. In order to prop up sales in this crucial
holiday shopping season, news of the torrential sweep of the
worldwide economic crisis has been downplayed, here in the U.S.
-- for now. The Furby has become a multi-faceted symbol; one of
its meanings is "LIMITED QUANTITIES/HURRY UP AND SHOP!" But
after the retailers have been saved from disaster, then will the
dammed-up economic truth be unleashed. We have:
++ COLLAPSING HOG PRICES: Hog prices "stand at their
lowest level since the [Great] Depression." The HOG CRISIS
is "devastating to thousands of people who have staked
their lives on hogs." The National Farmers Union blames
the crisis on "corporate hog farms" which have flooded the
market with hogs, thereby deflating prices. (New York
Times, 12/13/98) Adding to the HOG CRISIS is the dire
impoverishment of Third-World and Second-World markets, who
can no longer ante up necessary cash to keep on enjoying
hogs.
++ OIL GLUT: There is a worldwide "glut" of oil, with
consequent DEFLATION in oil prices. In fact, there is "a
glut in almost everything -- from commodities like oil to
finished goods like computers" (New York Times, 12/13/98).
This COMMODITIES GLUT runs contrary to the current, false,
yet pervasive Furby psychology of "LIMITED QUANTITIES."
++ DEBT PEONAGE CAMPS: Besides child labor in Third
World countries, prison labor in Red China (where Furbies
are made), and prison labor even here in the United States,
we now are seeing the re-emergence of "company stores" and
"company housing" in the U.S. Some agricultural workers are
sold food, wine, and drugs in exchange for their labor, and
are "always on the minus side" in the account books --
meaning they cannot quit work until and if company ledgers
say they can. (New York Times, 12/13/98)
All this bad news has arrived in tandem with the "lovable furry
creature" from Red China. "By his fruits shall you know him."
Maybe it's time we all took another look at Mr. Furby.

[1] Communique from "Rhea Fortean" (pseudonym):
ODDITY: Drudge tonight played a video produced just for
his show that ended with film of Nixon waving goodbye from
the helicopter door and then video of BC leaving today in
the helicopter and turning and waving at the door and
turning to go inside. Weird huh?
