I hate to mention it, but the loathsome Protocols are included
in Milton William Cooper's really rotten book "Behold a Pale
Horse" which also falsely accuses  me and Budd Hopkins and
others  of being CIA agents. The fact that the documents are
fraudulent is, of course, not mentioned...

The hateful Protocols have been around a long time. If it is
published, I should think the fact that it has over and over
again been shown to be totally false, should be mentioned. It is
certainly a splendid example of conspiracy theory propaganda.

Signing off until June 1,

I will be gone for a week to the annual San Marino, Italy, UFO
Conference
