In my opinion, the most despicable business transaction was the betrayal of Jesus,
by Judas, for thirty pieces of silver.

The most despicable con was that perpertrated by Abraham Lincoln and his cadre'.
Consider this: In the Gettysburg Address, "Honest" Abe made the absurd claim that
the Union soldiers who died in the Battle of Gettysburg gave their lives to
protect the concept of a nation "of the people, by the people, and for the
people." In reality, it was the Southern soldiers who were fighting for the
principle of self-government.
"You can fool ALL of the people SOME of the time... and SOME of the people ALL of
the time..." and in this case, that's proven sufficient to pull off the master
con.

CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
