@ The Destruction of the Individual: Slavery, Child Abuse, and the Neolithic
Revolution. Our concept of the "person" is rooted in slavery; slavery is
best understood, not legally or economically, but psychologically; the
psychology of child abuse is an excellent model for the psychology of sla-
very. Is slavery a post Pleistocene phenomena, i.e. does it have a relati-
vely recent history? http://www.sscf.ucsb.edu/~hagen/courses/slave.html
: Are you enslaved? Do you enslave? Are you abused? Do you abuse? Are you
controlled? Do you control? Are you or your controller(s) Neolithic/alien?

# Computing After Silicon. How will computers keep getting smaller, cheaper?
The chemist who heads Hewlett-Packard's laboratory has an unusual answer.
: Are you ready for post-silicon reality? How many computers will you have
implanted in your body? Will you become omniscient? Will you have a choice?

# Spooks in the machine: the CIA's most successful spy was a Xerox repair-
man. The CIA's Xerox Spy-cam: Remember the chatty, irritating "copier guy"
from Saturday Night Live skits a few years back? The character drove his
office-mates mad in the copy room. The exploits of the CIA's "copier spy"
would have exasperated Soviet diplomats in the United States even more,
had they known of the espionage equipment stashed under the glass of their
Xerox machine. http://www.parascope.com/articles/0197/xerox.htm
: Is every document you've ever copied stashed in NSA/CIA/FBI files? Are all
faxes monitored too? Will all you've ever said or done be used against you?

@ TEMPEST. Across the darkened street, a windowless van is parked. Inside,
an antenna is pointed out through a fiberglass panel. It's aimed at an
office window on the third floor. As the CEO works on a word processing
document, outlining his strategy for a hostile take-over of a competitor,
he never knows what appears on his monitor is being captured, displayed,
and recorded in the van below. http://www.eskimo.com/~joelm/tempest.html

: Who is spying on you? Who isn't? Is your every keystroke recorded? Do your
monitors laugh at your words? Should they? Is TEMPEST technology everywhere?
@ TEMPEST stands for 'Transient Electromagnetic Pulse Standard', and the
way one eavesdrops is referred to as 'Van Eck' monitoring.

# Who Owns _NSAKEY? Debate flares over MS 'Spy Key'. Security experts aren't
satisfied with Microsoft's denials that it had left a back door open in
Windows for a US spy agency. That's plain nuts, others say. The NSA isn't
talking: http://www.wired.com/news/news/technology/story/21589.html
# MS Denies Windows 'Spy Key'. Experts have discovered a hidden key in
Microsoft Windows that they say grants high-level access to the most
powerful spy agency in the United States. Hogwash, says Redmond.
http://www.wired.com/news/news/technology/story/21577.html
: Have you installed your own crypto software to forestall the NSA? Has the
NSA cracked your system yet? Have they cracked everybody's systems? Where?

# May the Micro Force Be With You. (TechRev) After a decade of hype, micro-
scopic mechanical systems are poised to make major changes in the size of
our cell phones, the reliability of our communications systems -- even the
way "Star Wars" is shown. http://techreview.com/articles/oct99/amato.htm
: When will nanotech make all previous mechanical technologies obsolete? Do
nanobots swarm thru your body yet? Will they soon? Will they take over? How?

@ OURANUS IS URANUS IS HEAVEN! URANUS, THE KINGDOM IS AT HAND! Uranus is the
ruling planet of the age of Aquarius that we are now entering. As we look
around we see that Uranus is true to its reputation, to shake traditional
aspects of life & cause things to turn upside down. It's right on schedule
isn't it? In the Bible Jesus says, " The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand."
The New Testament was written in Greek and the Greek word for heaven is
Ouranos. Uranus. What was actually being said was, " The Kingdom Of Uranus
is at hand," and we are witnesses to its changing power. Keep watching.
http://www.hiddenmeanings.com/hidden.html#KINGDOM
: Does Uranus upset you, shake you up, turn you upside down? Are you ready
for the Kingdom of Uranus? Do you worship Uranus? Does Uranus worship you?

# Dinosaur Find In Canada's North. Researchers say they have found dinosaur
footprints believed to be over 65 million years old in Canada's north.

# Latest Ozone Hole Weaker Than '98. The "ozone hole" over the Antarctic is
expected to grow this year to around twice the size of Europe, but it is
weaker than last year because polar winds have eased. Have a nice tan.
http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/ap/19990901/sc/un_ozone_layer_1.html
# US Space Shuttle Fleet Grounded. NASA's fleet of space shuttles, grounded
as inspectors inch their way thru trouble-plagued wiring on each orbiter,
will not carry out further missions until mid-October at the earliest.
http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/19990904/sc/space_shuttle_1.html
# Experts Search for Water in Space. Having found water in a 4.5 billion-
year-old meteorite, NASA scientists are searching for more that may have
been overlooked in other space rocks. Perrier is bidding on the franchise.
