# Oviparous Chupacabras. The possibility that dreaded Chupacabras could be
oviparous (egg-laying) has caused consternation among believers skeptix
alike. The fact that it's reappeared in northern Chile's formerly nitrate-
rich north has added more fuel to the speculative bonfire. Are we indeed

Papua New Guinea -- In what excited anthropologists are hailing as "the

The hairy man-beast, which stands about 5-foot-8, is covered from head to
toe in thickly matted hair like a gorilla, but aspects of the hands and
feet, the shape of the skull and the facial features are more human than
ape-like, experts say. http://www.weeklyworldnews.com/stories/1990.html
: What's your favorite cryptozoological entity? Are you cryptozoological? Do
you hide? Where? Do you lay eggs? Have you been laid lately? Are you hairy?

-Caveat Lector- -- From: Ric Carter [EMAIL PROTECTED] # 'Y2K: THE MOVIE' - NEW YEAR MEETS MURPHY'S LAW. The premise behind NBC's Sunday-night special, "Y2K: The Movie," is simple: If everything can go wrong, it will. Murphy's Law is the star of this show, a fictional account of coming Y2K havoc that includes food and cash shortages, power outages, a plane falling out of the sky, even a prison riot. Never mind all those pronouncements from govt and the private sector that widespread mishaps are unlikely. The movie devises as many as it can. "Paranoia is our most important product" - see http://cnn.com/SHOWBIZ/TV/9911/18/nbc.y2k.ap/ Having watched this movie last night I don't see what all the uproar was about. This flick was too boring for words and in MHO had a zero fear-factor. Ken Orlin as the mighty hero limped and whined his way through a tedious and predicable plot. The only thing believable about this movie was the be-glittered teenage daughter who had a penchant for sneaking out at night, playing one parent against the other, and basically doing a GREAT job of expressing adolescence in that annoying way that teens are apt to do.

-Caveat Lector- http://www.dxlc.com/solar/ (as of 11/15/99, 3:30 PM EST): Flares and CMEs 9 C flares and 5 M flares were recorded on November 14. Region 8759 produced a C3.6/1F event at 04:40 UTC and an M1.4 impulsive flare at 17:04 UTC. Region 8763 was the source of a major flare, an M8.0/2B event at 08:01 UTC. Region 8765 generated a C5.0 flare at 03:55 UTC, a C4.9 flare at 06:38 UTC, a C5.0 flare at 15:40 UTC, an M2.2/SN flare at 16:23 UTC and finally an M2.9 impulsive flare at 18:09 UTC. Region 8766 produced the second major flare of the day, an M5.6 event at 16:07 UTC. An apparently full halo CME was observed starting at 18:30 in LASCO C2 images. Actually the CME may have started earlier over the east limb but it was evident over the west limb at that time. If the CME was associated with any of the 4 M flares occurring shortly before, the earth will likely receive an impact on November 17. Coronal mass ejections were observed earlier in the day as well, particularly off the east limb. A filament eruption in the northeast quadrant was observed starting at 18:36 UTC in LASCO EIT images. November 12: Region 8759 produced an M1.7 long duration event peaking at 09:16 UTC. Material outflow was observed in most directions in LASCO C2 images and there is a chance that earth could receive an impact from the coronal mass ejection on November 15. The background x-ray flux is at the class C3 level. -Original Message- From: Ric Carter [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, November 14, 1999 3:41 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [CTRL] Skeptic News - Sunday #1 # Class 'M' Solar Mass Ejection Likely To Strike Earth November 15: http://www.sightings.com/ufo5/Updateclassm.htm Solar Mass Ejection Update 11-13-99 http://www.dxlc.com/solar/Note: The page in the link above was changed between yesterday and today.

# Air Search Resumes For JFK Jr. HYANNISPORT, Mass. (Reuters) An air search
resumed at daybreak Sunday over the Atlantic Ocean for John F Kennedy Jr,
his wife and her sister, missing and feared dead in a plane crash the
latest tragedy to befall America's most famous political dynasty.

# Pope Prays For JFK Jr., Recalls Kennedy Tragedies. QUART, Italy (Reuters)
Pope John Paul prayed Sunday for John F Kennedy Jr when he heard of the
plane crash presumed to have killed him and recalled a string of tragedies
that have plagued America's first political family.
http://news.excite.com/news/r/990718/07/news-kennedy-pope
: 18 July 1969: Chappaquiddick. 17 July 1996: TWA-800. 16 July 1999: JFK Jr.
What's the link? Why the proximity to Montauk? Dead Kennedys: Joseph, John,
Robert, John Jr. What's the link? Is a dark Protestant god annihilating the
potent followers of a bright Catholic god? Is {JHWH} striking down powerful
worshippers of Virgin Mary? Are Reptilioids feeding on Kennedy karma? Or was
JFK Jr. struck down to stop him from running for the Senate against Hillary?

# China Sentences Sect Leader To Death. HONG KONG (Reuters) A Chinese court
has sentenced the leader of a Christian sect to death for swindling fellow
sect members. Liu Jia-guo, 34, leader of the Jusen sect in Hunan province,
was convicted of stealing up to 200,000 yuan ($24,200) collected from sect
members over 5 years. China has convicted 21 other Jusen members over the
past year, sentencing them to jail terms of between two and 20 years. At
least 40 other sect members were sent to labor camps without trial. Liu
became a Protestant in 1988 and founded Jusen in 1993 in Hunan. The sect
now has 20,000 members in 20 provinces; they call for building a "God's
country" and doing away with a "people's country". Following a national
conference, Liu and 70 other sect members were arrested in June 1998 for
"subversion." http://www.insidechina.com/news.php3?id=78968
: Should you be executed for stealing US$25k? Has your sect subverted any
states lately? Are all Protestants subversive? Is all religion subversive?
Would you rather build God's Country, mow crop circles, or mate with aliens?
Does your sect have many members? Do you all mate with aliens or each other?

# Brain structure abnormalities seen in autism patients. NEW YORK (Reuters)
High-functioning autistic individuals seem to have a specific variation in
the brain that may account for emotional and social learning impairments
associated with autism. Researchers found anomalies around the amygdala,
an almond-sized structure located deep in the brain that plays a role in
emotion and mood. "We found a specific brain area that seems to be quite
different anatomically." But "it's not the amygdala that is different,
it's the pathways in or out that are different." These findings "indicate
that even those people with autism who are really quite (high-functioning)
have brains that are really quite different." Autism is a mental disorder
characterized by extreme withdrawal and an inability to communicate or
relate to others. http://news.excite.com/news/r/990716/17/health-aut13
: Would you like to have your brain rewired? Would you like to rewire other
peoples' brains? Can you shift the pathways in and out of brain structures
to make people do interesting things? What's your favorite brain structure?
Do you like experimenting with brains? Do you collect them? Can I play too?

@ Ten Ways You Can Help The UFO Cover-up Continue. 1) First but foremost,
don't talk about the subject! 2) Don't join any organizations that purport
to actively study the UFO mystery. 3) Don't read any book or publication
about UFO's. 4) Never question anybody important in public about the UFO
subject or about the paranormal. 5) If you ever hear anyone talking about
the UFO subject or the paranormal, point your finger at `em and burst out
laughing. 6) Attempt to keep any and all discussion of UFO or paranormal
subjects out of public and private schools. 7) Ridicule anything you read
in the press, or any comments favorable to the study of the UFO subject or
the paranormal by broadcast media. 8) If you know someone who purports to
have had a "close encounter" experience, convince `em that there is just a
little problem with their brains. 9) Get religion - join a religion that
will make you feel bad about your UFO or paranormal experiences. 10) Just
call up one of your buddies in CSICOP

Three different techniques put the dating of the skeleton at between 56,000 and 68,000 years old, and if accepted by the archaeological community it will be the new official earliest date of occupation of Australia by human beings. http://www.smh.com.au/news/9905/21/text/pageone3.html # Mungo Man older than thought.

(BBC) Nato's use of graphite bombs to disable most of Serbia's electrical supply is a reminder that the conflict in Yugoslavia is not just being fought with precision-guided weapons.

-Caveat Lector- _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ### PASTOR CLAIMS BELT RIGHTS. The Massachusetts Supreme Court will decide whether a minister has the right to spank his son with a leather belt. The Rev. Donald Cobble Jr. claims the corporal punishment is sanctioned by the Bible, and the government has no right to interfere by alleging the use of the belt amounts to child abuse. Cobble was charged with abuse two years ago after his preteen son, Judah, pleaded with a teacher not to send a note home to his father because it would result in punishment with a belt. The teacher instead notified the state Department of Social Services, and an investi- gating social worker concluded the use of the belt amounted to abuse. ### : Does your religion prescribe/proscribe physical punishment? Does beating your kids do any good? There are 2 issues raised here 1- the question of who decides the morality of society and the place of the family. Since the essential part of the conspiracy has been to create hegels divine state, I wont argue that one further. The second issue what are the actual empirical answers surrounding spanking The following is taken mostly from Herrenstein and wilsons ..crime and human nature. Essentially there are 2 modes of brining up children. Warmth and discipline---they are independent and not interelated Warmth defined as meeting the emotional and physical needs of the child needs as and when required. Discipline meeaning consistent rewards and punishments to promote certain behaviours. (arbitary beatings are not discipline) Children brought up with warmth and disciline are well adjsuted good citizens with a tendency to conformity with warmth bot no discipline good natured egotists. with discipline but no love- rebels/ subservient..the angry young man without discipline nor warmth- delinquents and thugs The degree to which people turn violent in later years is curvilinear(U shaped) with those with no discipline or with 'extreme' discipline becoming most violent. Why if this is the science do most media promoted social scientists advocate that spanking be banned..well they are actually socialists and not scientists.

@ ESCHELON IS WATCHING. Deep inside the puzzle palace a computer system
called Eschelon downloads the entire Internet every day. Everything you
read.. see.. hear and type on the internet is analyzed and scoured for
anything of interest by the CIA, NSA, DIA, NRO and other three letter
intialed intelligence agencies. Eschelon is an artificially intelligent
super computer system that is programmed to look for key words and phrases
like, "nuclear, terrorism, warfare, etc, in many lanquages. Once it finds
something of interest it notifies an analyst who in turn checks to see if
the information intercepted is of any use to the government. Think your
scrambled e-mail is safe? Think again. PGP has been cracked by the NSA as
have most e-mail encryption programs, the only one that is still giving the
NSA trouble is "blowfish" which is illegal to use, and not NSA approved. A

A few billion years ago, Mars may not have been all that much different from Earth. But something went awry, leaving Earth to live and its sister planet to die. Now, as part of NASA's latest initiative to explore, explain and exploit space, scientists are beginning to discuss the tools and techniques for bringing Mars back to life. See: http://www.discovery.com/stories/unofficialspace/space.html : Will a terraformed Mars look like Los Angeles? Where will the ghettos go? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ # ASTROBIOLOGY INSTITUTE TACKLES BASIC QUESTIONS OF LIFE. When the Surveyor 3 spacecraft landed on Luna it carried a creature from Earth - Streptococcus mitis. Apollo 12 astronauts brought back a piece of Surveyor, also bearing Strep. The bacteria had been freeze-dried in space, but were quickly revived once back on Earth. So bacteria, the earliest and most common form of life on Earth, were also the first life form to travel to the moon. Now, over 3 decades after Strep went lunar, NASA is establishing the Astrobiology Inst- itute, a joint effort of 11 laboratories to study life in a unique way. By pulling together researchers from biology, chemistry, genetics, geology, planetary science, astronomy and other scientific fields, the institute plans to apply "hard science" to such philosophical questions as: Where did we come from? Are we alone in the universe? Can we migrate to and transform other planets? http://www.anomalous-images.com/news/news341.html : What's your favorite definition of life? [Mine: Anything that reproduces within its environment is alive. This includes bio- and cyber-virus, etc.] Having defined life, how can you manipulate it, and at what range, and why? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ # FOR AT LEAST HALF A CENTURY, THE US INTERCEPTED/DECRYPTED THE TOP SECRET DOCUMENTS OF MOST OF THE WORLD'S GOVERNMENTS ** It may be the greatest int- elligence scam of the century: For decades, the US routinely read the top secrets of 120 countries. These nations had bought the world's most sophis- ticated and supposedly secure commercial encryption technology from Crypto AG, a Swiss company that staked its reputation and the security concerns of its clients on its neutrality. www.caq.com/CAQ/caq63/caq63madsen.html : If this is true, why isn't the whole world a client of the US? Or is it? Does this benefit corporations, int'l bankers, Reptilioids, Brit royalty? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ # Russian Scientists Create Revolutionary Low Observability Technologies. (ITAR-TASS) Researchers have developed new technologies allowing dramatic decrease in aircrafts' radar observability. The Russian approach to low observability (LO) technologies is completely different from US Stealth and offers complete furtiveness of the protected object at a significantly lower price. http://www.anomalous-images.com/news/news332.html : If you ran Russia, what would you do with invisibility? Has the US already stolen this technology? Was it adapted from Roswell or similar objects? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ # Russians unfurl Giant Space Mirror, Fry 53 Albanians. While the rest of the world's news media swallowed the Russian Bear's "whopper" hook, line and sinker, the EGG Report dares to release the photo shown here of the after-math of the so-called "failed experiment" in solar heating. Shown here in shocking detail are the burned bodies of four of the 53 Albanian citizens who were instantly fried to death when the Mir crew unfurled the 87 foot wide "space mirror" and targeted the sleeping village of Novibokstanja, Albania. http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/Congress/8699/egg2799.html : Who do you want to fry with a space mirror? Isn't it 'broil', not 'fry'? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ # U.S.-Russian Team May Have Created Ultra-Heavy Element. Collaborating US and Russian nuclear physicists may have created a new ultra-heavy element that may open the door to a host of new elements once considered impossible. If confirmed, the achievement would mark the realization of efforts over a half century to reach a major goal of nuclear physics: to create an element far heavier than any in nature that would survive for long enough to permit scientific study. http://www.anomalous-images.com/news/news334.html : What would you do with an ultra-heavy element? Will it unbalance reality? Will it lead to antigravity, telepathy, immortality, free power, halitosis? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ News Shorts: KING HUSSEIN IS DEAD http://cnn.com/WORLD/meast/9902/07/king.hussein.obit/ # Amateur thinks he has traced Moses' steps: http://www.anomalous-images.com/news/news344.html # BIOLOGICAL WARFARE...OR JUST A TEST... http://www.anomalous-images.com/news/news338.html # New discovery challenges dinosaur theories: http://www.oregonlive.com/news/99/01/st012707.html # Reptilian
