...Part A: Memo Phoenix Advertising Interoffice Memorandum DATE: April 13, 2015 TO: Gregory S. Forest, President; Steve Notch, Chief Executive; Pete Wilson, VP of Operations; Dave Ramirez, VP of HR; Pedro Gomez, VP of Public Relations; Ralph Woods, VP of Marketing Operations; Amanda Byrnes, VP of Advertising Operations; and Greg Stack, VP of Finance FROM: David Ramirez, VP of Human Resources SUBJECT: Roanoke Branch Update In recent months, the Roanoke branch office has received complaints from four clients. There is a feeling that the decline in customer satisfaction could be due in part to low morale among the branch’s employees. It has come to my attention that after a change in management, some of the graphic designers and art directors feel their works are being unfairly altered or rejected, as well as their ideas not being taken seriously. All the while, they are being asked to work longer hours without proper compensation, either monetarily or in time. All of the branch’s employees have threatened to leave the company. We must give this issue our immediate attention as the Roanoke branch handles some of our biggest clients and these clients are vital to the overall success of the company. We must reinforce to all employees they are a part of a large team, rather than the departmental “silo” structure that currently exists. As an executive team, I feel it is very important to reach out to the Roanoke branch to find out the root of the problem before it gets...

...of HRM SUBJECT: Roanoke, VA Branch – Update In recent weeks, I have received few complaints from few of our top clients in the Virginia region. The quality of work that comes from Roanoke, Virginia branch is affecting the Phoenix branch in a very negative way. For some reason, in the past three months, we have lost the key personnel which that have had been with the company for more than five years. This is why the work quality sharply declined and what followed next - the complaints from the clients. What is scaring me even more is that three of our top graphic designers and four of the copywriters are threatening to leave if we do not improve the way we handle new accounts without evaluating the current workload. We must address this issue as it is costing our company’s valued staff and profits. Robert Wright – Please contact the President of Word Company to find out what the problem is and how we can fix it. Susan Smith – Please call a meeting your graphic design team to find out why the quality of work is declining. Also, Robert and Susan, please evaluate the new client list to see if there is a need to shift some of the work to other branches in the short term. Please send me a full report by August 8, 2014 via email. It is very essential that we maintain a positive and professional relationship with both our clients and employees. If we work together, we can resolve all the problems and ensure the success of the Roanoke Virginia Branch and the entire Phoenix...

...Bloodlines of Illuminati by: Fritz Springmeier, 1995 Introduction: I am pleased & honored to present this book to those in the world who love the truth. This is a book for lovers of the Truth. This is a book for those who are already familiar with my past writings. An Illuminati Grand Master once said that the world is a stage and we are all actors. Of course this was not an original thought, but it certainly is a way of describing the Illuminati view of how the world works. The people of the world are an audience to which the Illuminati entertain with propaganda. Just one of the thousands of recent examples of this type of acting done for the public was President Bill Clinton’s 1995 State of the Union address. The speech was designed to push all of the warm fuzzy buttons of his listening audience that he could. All the green lights for acceptance were systematically pushed by the President’s speech with the help of a controlled congressional audience. The truth on the other hand doesn’t always tickle the ear and warm the ego of its listeners. The light of truth in this book will be too bright for some people who will want to return to the safe comfort of their darkness. I am not a conspiracy theorist. I deal with real facts, not theory. Some of the people I write about, I have met. Some of the people I expose are alive and very dangerous. The darkness has never liked the light. Yet, many of the secrets of the Illuminati are locked up tightly simply because secrecy is a way...
