Study Finds Expectation of Humor Has Biological Effect on Body
Half of them were informed three days in advance

These changes were not seen in the other eight men

The Jewish Conspiracy FAQ
e.g.: " # 7. Can I help? (Becoming a collaborator.)
From time to time, selected goyim are brought aboard as collaborators. Collaborators are rewarded commensurate with their service to the IJC, typically very handsomely as befitting the generous and gregarious nature of the Jewish people. However, becoming an IJC collaborator is not merely a matter of choice, one must be recruited. IJC representatives actively recruit goyim who are found to be in situations deemed strategically advantageous to the Conspiracy. These lucky individuals will be contacted by local IJC representatives when appropriate. "
