Today at the peace rally downtown, a woman handed out bright pink flyers that proclaimed "Public Notice - Right now, there is a law on the books that when announced will change your life!". One side of the flyer lists information on something called NESARA, the opposite side contains the Bill of Rights.

NESARA is an "internet based conspiracy theory involving secret laws, white knights, aliens, and September 11.". Members attend most peace and social justice rallies in Olympia and hand out flyers. The Tacoma News Tribune did an expose of this group and their Shelton based founder a few years back.

So before buying into a conspiracy theory, shop around on the net, there are many to choose from, even here in Olympia.

According to the TNT, Ms. Goo

According to the TNT, Ms. Goodwin, one of the major figures in this group, is originally from right here in little ol' McCleary:

She was born Candace Darlene Goodwin on May 4, 1947, and grew up in McCleary, a small town east of Aberdeen in Grays Harbor County. The oldest of four children, she was dark-eyed and pretty. In 1962 she was crowned queen of the annual McCleary Bear Festival. The photo made the front page of the now-defunct Elma Chronicle.

We were also an early home to Mitchell Rupe. But on the bright side McCleary was the home of Clarence "Major Mite" Howerton, one of the Munchkins. And how did I get from NESARA to the Wizard of Oz? I'm attempting to wean myself from too much coffee. Forgive me.
