VMs: FW: Voynich cover-story?

["Kevin Gillette" <kevingi@xxxxxxxxx>]

"Stormfront" is a white-supremacy/white-separatism rag - surprising that
they would mention the VMs in an article, since they (if one is to treat
'Prof.' Oliver's article as a paragon) appear to have such utter contempt
for practically everything that isn't in lock-step with Lyndon LaRouche's
ideology.  It seems that its having shared even some provenance with an
Italian family would invalidate it in their eyes :-).

And the beat goes on...

In "More on an Enigma" by Professor Revilo P. Oliver (April 1990), published
in some odd race-oriented magazine called 'Stormfront' :

Italian family?
