# HAARP: PROBING THE NORTHERN LIGHTS. The single most contentious question
in science at the end of century 20 isn't about evolution, the origin of
the universe or human cloning, but, "What is the gov't really up to near
Gakona, Alaska?" Officially, this 33-acre gravel pad near the Tok Highway
180 miles NE of Anchorage is the home of the high-frequency active auroral
research program (HAARP). Depending upon who you ask for a more detailed
description, HAARP is either a futuristic weapon, a scientific research
project, a global mind control scheme-rivaling network TV-or the cause of
a reptilian invasion from another dimension. Better than the magic-pellet
petrol substitute: http://popularmechanics.com/popmech/sci/9907STRSP.html
: Are you involved in disinformation re: HAARP? Is HAARP conspiratology dis-
information to distract us from something else? What's really being hidden?

@ ABDUCTEE.NET - While some UFO-related sites amount to little more than a
gray page with heavily exclamated text reading "I WUZ ABDUCTED!!!", this
hub offers a great deal more content, taste, & a far higher design ethic.
Read abductee stories or report your own, discover government cover-ups,
or chat with fellow UFO-heads. A galaxy of other options awaits you on
this -- the final frontier. Never be seen again: http://www.abductee
: Did you report your abduction to im/proper authorities, friends/family [if
any], the Net? Who believes you? Have you been tracked ever since? By whom?

# U.S. terrorist threats detailed. WASHINGTON (AP) - An anthrax release in
Boston, a North Korean sale of nuclear bombs, an Iraqi nerve-agent attack
on U.S. troops, were among the potential threats to Americans cited by a
commission urging gov't action to combat such risks. "We are woefully un-
prepared..." Proposed laws would tighten export controls on items that
might be used to manufacture heavily destructive weaponry, and would have
all worldwide transactions recorded electronically. We'll be watching you:
see http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2560288888-571
: Can you brew up awesome terrorist weapons out of common components? Do ETs
help you master terror-technology? Does your implant warn of gov't probing?

# Bible Sales Beyond Grave Spark Police Probe. LONDON (Reuters) UK cops are
investigating a "Christian Bookshop" that is sending bills to dead people
for bibles. The company had sent invoices to people who had recently died,
demanding payment for bibles and a book called "Jesus of the Holy Land."
"It's a scam. There is no evidence of an order being placed. There is no
evidence of books being delivered." The outstanding debt was put at $40,
accompanied by a demand to the estates of the dead for prompt payment.
http://news.excite.com/news/r/990715/08/odd-crime-bibles
: If death and taxes are inevitable, are religious scams too? If Mormons can
baptize/convert the dead, why can't your belief system assess the dead? Are
the dead the ideal customers, since they can't complain or demand refunds?

# Turkey offers Israel water. JERUSALEM (AP) - Turkey could solve Israel's
chronic water shortage by hauling enormous water-filled plastic bubbles by
tugboat across the Mediterranean, Turkey's president said. Such a project
could eventually supply Israel with up to 140 billion cubic feet of water
a year. Israel & Turkey already have close military & economic links, and
the ties would strengthen if Turkey becomes Israel's major water supplier.
Nearby Arab countries, especially Syria, are watching the Israeli-Turkish
ties with great concern, fearing the alliance could dominate the Middle
East. See http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2560287305-089
: Should icebergs be hauled to LosAngeles? Are giant water bubbles easy tar-
gets? Do Arab states deserve to be dominated? Does Turkey have crop circles?
Can giant water bubbles be hauled to distant space colonies? Is dependence
on water a surmountable limitation? Can we evolve to drink vacuum? Want to?

# Experimental Method Delivers Drugs To Brain. WASHINGTON (Reuters) French
researchers have used tiny capsules called microspheres to deliver cancer
drugs directly into the brains of patients. The method helped double the
survival time of 8 patients and may offer a new and better way to treat
brain tumors. http://news.excite.com/news/r/990715/01/science-cancer-brain
: What drugs do you want to deliver directly to your brain? Do microspheres
interfere with alien implants, HAARP mind-control rays, brainworms, id, ego?

# Pure Carbon Molecules Found In Meteorite. LONDON (Reuters) - A new form of
carbon previously made in the laboratory also exists in nature and might
have played a part in the origin of life on earth. U.S. researchers found
fullerenes - soccer-ball shaped molecules that had been synthesized in the
lab in 1985 - in the Allende meteorite that landed in Mexico in 1969.
http://news.excite.com/news/r/990715/01/science-carbon-meteorite
: Are buckyballs the ultimate lubricant? Will we build elevators into orbit
with buckytubes? Are aliens already using fullerenes? Is this an artifact?
