# When Disclosure Serves Secrecy. (PNN) The covert projects which have been
running UFO related programs for nearly 60 years are not interested in a
disclosure which upsets their apple cart. They want such a disclosure to
transform their apple cart into a freight train. And they potentially
have the power and connections to do it. http://caus.org/pn110899.htm
: Do you derive power from your UFO work? Will you do ANYTHING to retain &
enhance such power? Are all who oppose you doomed? Do you rule the world??

# PENTAGON MUSED HACKING SERBS. During last spring's conflict with Yugo-
slavia, the Pentagon considered hacking into Serbian computer networks to
disrupt military operations and basic civilian services. But it refrained
from doing so, according to senior defense officials, due to continuing
uncertainties and limitations surrounding the emerging field of cyber
warfare. http://washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A35345-1999Nov7.html
: Do you have ethical/tactical/mental problems with CyberWar? Do you wage
cyberwar anyway? Do you lie about it? Are you waging cyberwar right now??

@ THE GOTHS COME OUT AT NIGHT. Think of the "Saturday Night Live" parody
of pubescent kids competing over who's more goth when you visit this
newsgroup. Enjoy the long thread about Slimelight, a British goth club;
and there's some healthy mocking of the poor goth who takes himself and
his "Ministry of Evil" too seriously. News:uk.people.gothic
: Are you goth? Are you more goth than me? Yah? Can you ever be goth enough,
too goth, WAY too goth? How? Do you minister to evil? Is it rewarding? How?

# Pope: Religious freedom a right. NEW DELHI, India (AP) - With his church
under fire by Hindus for its missionary work, Pope John Paul II said free-
dom to practice or change one's religion must be considered a basic human
right. Then Holy Office agents beamed mindcontrol rays into the audience.
See http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2561978117-40f
: Do we have the right to NOT be converted, as well as to convert? Have you
converted lately? To what? Was it voluntary? Are you sure? Were drugs used?

# BAGPIPES RESONATE THROUGH RUGGED COASTLINE OF... SPAIN? The green, rolling
hills and wild, untamed sea conjure up a vivid image of the rugged Irish
coastline - but tho there are bagpipers galore providing background music
for this idyllic scene, this is not Ireland. Rather, it's northern Spain,
a region whose unique Celtic culture has moved ahead with a unique inno-
vation: electric bagpipes. http://cnn.com/SHOWBIZ/Music/9911/05/wb.galicia
: Are bagpipes Satan's favorite musical instrument? Are pipers diabolic? If
you listen to pipes, are you damned eternally? Are electric bagpipes even
more horrible than the acoustic variety? Should pipes & pipers be burnt??

"If we don't decide what to do with the new male biology before it figures
out what to do with us, the man of tomorrow will be standing precisely
where the data hits the fan. It is time for every man to take a close
look at the implications behind the scientific papers, because many of
the new biological spinoffs are aimed directly at our gonads."
