[kj] Jaz Coleman newsletter #4

Fri Oct 30 14:34:06 EDT 2020

Phil, Alex - lol!

I'm just impressed that a man with no modern technology and a hatred of
both the internet and commercialism manages to produce a regular newsletter
for his website while simultaneously promoting his pies and hot sauce.

>>>    - *Texas* will come under Mexican influence.
>>>    - It is uncertain to whom the *Atlantic Union* will align itself to.
