Subject: Bleeding-Heart-Libs Return Indians' Money!

Ugly George DEMANDS that guilt-ridden Libs like Bearpuf & Prelinger be the FOIST to return all their money & land to the redskins, whom they claim it was 'stolen from'. I have a record circa 1914 of the 'Great White Father in Washington' ( warmonger Woody Wilson soon to give WW1 ) promising to do so by honoring treaties. Director Tom Ince was shot & killed 10 years later by _______( I dare not say ) but the crooked L.A. coroner ruled it 'accidental'.
Recently an L.A. official asks 'who gave drugs to kill Marilyn Monroe?' but doesn't say it was RFK...! Can Libs stand in the way of the Truth when it shows up their Idols???

This is a surprisingly more accurate portrayal of the way the "white man" handled the follow through of treaties with the Indians. The government probably saw this piece and couldn't bare the truth to the degree of suggesting to Hollywood that it produce history more to its liking.
The film is not complete, but it's clear to where the story is going. Maybe someone ought to run this for the Congress today.
