# Falun Gong members to be sent to slave camp. BEIJING - Thousands of Falun
Gong followers who traveled to Beijing to protest the banning of their
sect as an "evil religion" are likely to be sent, without trial, to a
labor camp for up to three years. Remember that when you buy Chinese.
www.nando.net/noframes/story/0,2107,500054341-500089345-500318929-0,00.html
: Should your sect be sold into slavery? DO you like to buy products made
by slaves? If you complain about product quality, are the slaves beaten??

# Amazon Group Wins Plant Patent Case. QUITO, Ecuador (Reuters) Amazonian

: What's your fave ritual herb? Are you cancerous? Are you hallucinating?
Are you mutating? Do you appropriate ritual herbs? Are you cursed yet??

@ ARE WE ASCENDING? If so, what are the signs? Who's helping us, and who's
not? So are we ascending? I'd say yes. How do we know? Simple, just look
at the many predictions that haven't come true. By now we should have had
a lot more earthquakes; California should have been devastated by a major
quake. Comet Lee, named the "King of Terror" by Nostradamos, was supposed
to wreak havoc on earth, but once again, it came & went without much ado.
The fact that predictions are not coming true, are the signs that we are
ascending. http://www.nibiruancouncil.com/html/ascending_article.html
: Are you ascending? Am I? Are we all? Where to? Why? If we ascend, will we
poke holes in the roof? Will the rain get in? Will everything be spoiled??

# Science Struggles With Faith, Authority. WASHINGTON (Reuters) In 1500,
if you wanted to know something about the world around you, it was wise
to ask the Church, as Galileo found out to his dismay. Or did he?
http://news.excite.com/news/r/991107/00/science-millennium-science
: Was Galileo suppressed because be was a dangerous rebel, or just because
he was an arrogant asshole? Have you read Koestler's biography? D'ya care?

@ Cultural/Economic Barriers to Protecting Children from Ritual Abuse & Mind
Control. How are we to understand phenomena of ritual abuse in the 1990's?
Throughout the Western world, increasing numbers of therapists & helping
professionals are hearing accounts from children as young as 2 & adults
into their 90s describe mind-numbing accounts of abuses consisting of
sexual sadism and pornography, physical torture, and highly sophisticated
psychological manipulation which, taken together, we have come to refer
to as ritual abuse. http://members.tripod.com/~Curio_5_/gould.html
: Do you engage in ritual abuse? Is it fun? Are you a member of an organized
group? Who do you abuse? Who don't you abuse? Should you be abused too? Why?

# RITUAL SACRIFICE OF EGYPT AIR 990. A pattern of Egyptian motifs re: New
York City - the "West Nile" virus, the "Black Madonna", the "Old Kingdom"
artifacts display at the Met - indicates that EA990 was ritually killed.
Numerological confirmation: http://www.enterprisemission.com/egyptair.htm
: Have you ritually sacrificed any airliners lately? Do you sexually abuse
them first? How do you have sex with an airliner? Is it self-lubricating?
