# Cult worships Marcos. ABRA, Philippines(AP) A picture of the "Sacred Heart
of Jesus" in a Philippine chapel has the familiar features, including the
heart ringed by a crown of thorns. But there's one startling difference -
the face is that of the late Philippine strongman Ferdinand Marcos. Altho
vilified by many as a ruthless dictator, Marcos is worshipped by hundreds
of cultists in the mountains of Abra province 200 miles north of Manila.
"We regard him as a saint." Wearing white cassocks, cult members, mostly
impoverished peasants, sing prayers in a thatch-roofed chapel adorned
with portraits of Marcos along with traditional religious figures. See

dark secret: http://www.sightings.com/politics4/bank.htm

Warren Commission report on the assassination of President John Kennedy
is released. The report concludes that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. As
years pass, proponents of various conspiracy theories will claim the

"It was to one of the danker atolls in the Pacific (pina coladas and hula
dancing notwithstanding -- such islands, you will agree, have humid and
mysterious reputations), where a colony of lepers flourished like canker
sores in the mouths of the caves which pockmarked the island's shore,
that Wendy was sent to bring The Word, for it was feared that should
this petri dish of decaying culture be left unattended those stricken
with the dread disease would rot in hell as surely as they were on
earth." --Melissa M. McCarter
