STATEMENT BY JOHN SALVI

Transcript of a six-page handwritten statement released by John C. Salvi III on Thursday.

I am a resident of the state of New Hampshire.

If convicted of the charges I am accused of I wish to recieve the Death Penalty.

After procedings are through I wish to have an interview with Barbara Walters within the year.

I will not release all information until that interview.

If I am not proven guilty upon release I will become a catholic priest.

This is not an admission of guilt However it is a statement about the persecution which the catholic people face. The catholic people are being persecuted in the workplace as well as in a whole. There are leaders in Government both Local, state and Federal which are well aware of the abuse taking place.

Wellfare laws are set up to assist a certain group of people but does not benifit all U.S. citizens if they need assistance. None of the catholic people would loose thier homes if wellfare laws where reformed. Why should a woman without a husband be able to collect if a couple who is married and needs assistance can't get help. These wellfare laws seek to break up the family unit.

What the catholic church needs to do is to start printing a currency so that individuals who work and make minimum wage can have a supplement to thier incomes so that thier families will have what they need. Whe're talking about making sure the catholic people have the basic necessities in life. That would be a roof over-thier heads, food, clothing and a little bit more job security.

Things appear as though they where all well and fine but things are not. Young couples who do not recieve assistance cannot afford the necessities in life. Not everyone can have the ``Top Position'' but that does not mean that the less fortunate should be forced to settle for minimun wage without wellfare compensation.

There is a movement in society which seeks the distruction of the church one method these individuals use is to buy up companies, corporations and businesses after which putting themselves out of business and or laying off catholic employees. This layoff procedure for catholics occurs to a great extent in the U.S. school systems, police departments, fire depts. etc. The catholic church is being floored financially.

Why do the free masons persecute the catholic people? Because thier good at it. The catholic church is dealing with a group of people who are intelligent, mean, nasty and judicious. These individuals run society and have a good system for themselves but seek to keep the catholic church from printing a currency and having the same system. In a nut shell if you can't collect you're a little bit screwed. You may do well but will your children. Just because you are well employed does that mean that your children will have a secured future. If the catholic church had a wellfare system each member would be assured a desent life.

Power is a funny thing one man is very powerful yes or no. A man has the power you give him. If 20 million people stand when one man says stand and if 20 million people sit when one man says sit then the catholic church will have what they need a currency. Think about giving a pope that kind of Power.

The catholic church is a government within a government only it does not print money as most governments do. What makes sense about asking a congregation for 10% of their income's when you could save the people by offering them 40% of an average income to compensate an insuficient wage.

The catholic church needs to start realizing that depressions are not corrolated to a time perioud but have to do with lack of christian leadership. Why should thier be a depression every 60 years or a war? can this be prevented? to a great extent yes. We as a people need to turn our minds away from individual thinking and more to the church as a whole, the country as a whole. It would take brain cells on behalf of the catholic people to do it. Wake up people and smell success in a church which is not successful. Take tips from the masons and masonic temple on how to live good and have the things you need. Do what they do so as to be successful.

Written from Norfolk City Jail on 1/4/95 after refusing to eat tampered food for 4 days.

Day one at Norfolk city jail. I recieved Ham In 2 pieces of wonder bread that had been tampered with. I ate it any way although I could hardly get it down. (the ham smelt like oranges.)

The next morning I was served breakfast which consisted of 2 eggs scrambled one piece of toast and gritts that turned my stomach and I began to get sick. The grits appeared to have semen in them, or commonly called cum. I ate the grits anyway however it turned my stomach and I began to get sick.

By the time supper rolled around I was sick, the guards then served me chicken with rice and I ate it as well. Four hours later I fell asleep, by about 1:30 at night I began vomiting severelly for approxematelly 10 hours. As well as vomiting I also had diarrea, blury vision and terrible intestinal pain. I was placed in a cell with no cold water and I was deprived of a cup.

At this point I refused to eat any more and I have not eaten in the past 4 days.

Dr. shephard of the Norfolk county correctional performed a physical on me and took blood and urine samples, to analize so as to verify the means of tampering.
