A Note from Tom
I
wanted to take a moment to thank those of you who month after month
contribute financial support for ICH, and to ask those of you who have
not contributed in the past to please do so now.
Our
readership and website visitors continue to grow in number each month
and I often receive email and letter from people who tell me that the
information they have found at ICH has been instrumental in changing
their (lives) views and opinions on many topics regarding US history,
wars and Imperialism.
There
are many more people who hunger for knowledge and I seek your help in
continuing to provide information that will lead them to join us here
on ICH, where we can gather together in support of each other and a
world that is less accepting of violence, injustice and suffering.
Each One - Teach One
We
must support each other or be washed away in a flood of propaganda and
lies told on behalf of a corrupted government, supported by a
valueless corporate culture that desires profits at any cost.
or
if you prefer to send a check or money order, (US Funds) Information
Clearing House, PO Box 365 Imperial Beach, CA 91933. USA.
To all who have assisted in the past. Thank you. Your help is greatly appreciated. Tom Feeley

through the beginning of the end, the disintegration of capitalism as a
world system. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article32500.htm
