I will make one prediction that I'm sorry to say that will come true, and you can hold me to this: If the Banksters do not feel they are making enough progress to meet their agenda by getting the rest of the guns from their subjects or slaves in the United States so they will be closer to complete control of the World, they will kill more innocent children than adults, because this has more of an effect on the public.

Seek the truth, know the truth, for truth shall set you free. God will bless you for telling the truth.

The Beat Goes On
Regarding Robin Chotzinoff's "Beat Cops," in the April 20 issue:

I would add William Shatner's renditions of "Mr. Tambourine Man" and "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" to the Fort Lupton playlist. (http://www-personal.umich.edu/~bobzilla/mp3/wacky/William_Shatner-Lucy_with_ Diamonds.mp3; http://www-personal.umich. edu/~bobzilla/mp3/wacky/William_Shatner-Mr_Tambourine_ Man.mp3.)

'Course, they did help Captain Kirk get that Priceline.com gig.

Life for a Life
I was glad to see Juliet Wittman's April 20 article "Murder by Death," concerning the sad story of Lisl Auman. I have been following this case for several years and still cannot believe this woman was charged with murder when she was in police custody at the time of the murder. This case is an example of an overzealous DA and revengeful police community taking advantage of an arcane law.

This woman was in the wrong place at the wrong time. She is not a murderer. Locking her up for the rest of her life is only creating another victim out of this tragic shooting.

      Juliet Wittman's article regarding the unjust and fraudulent treatment of Lisl Auman hit home with me. What kind of world do we live in that the police can walk into a courtroom and literally intimidate the defense? I attended the trial of Lisl Auman and was appalled at the theatrics displayed on the part of the Denver Police Department.

I also must question the integrity and motives of District Attorney Bill Ritter in his decision to even charge Lisl with murder. If someone can be sitting in a police car, handcuffed, while a murder is being committed, then there are many more murderers out there than I care to imagine. Not only is the district attorney's office of this city corrupt, but the police department needs a complete overhaul. The city's "peace" officers are nothing but a gang dressed in police uniforms. They will fight, cheat and lie to win their cause at any innocent person's expense. How can they sleep at night knowing that an innocent woman is locked up for a crime she did not commit?

The real killer did us all justice by committing suicide. He is dead; therefore, this matter is dead, and Lisl should be back home rebuilding her life.

Papa Don't Preach
We just read Michael Roberts's review of 'N Sync ("Sync or Swim," April 27), and we don't like him. He's just jealous that, like, he's not popular like they are. I mean, um, why did he have to say such mean things? Wassup with that? We already have our tickets to go see their concert this summer. I can't believe what he said about "Mop Top" Chris. That was like so mean.

Can you like fire him and give his job to his daughters Ellie and Lora? They sound pretty cool and smart. They know what 'N Sync is all about. I'll buy any album as long as they like it. Well, we got to go now, our Dad has to use the computer. Bye, bye, bye.
