Scientists test first human cyborg - Oxford, England - "A British university professor has been fitted with cyborg technology enabling his nervous system to be linked to a computer. The ground-breaking surgery on Professor Kevin Warwick effectively makes him the world's first cyborg -- part human, part machine...it is hoped that readings will be taken from the implant in his arm of electrical impulses coursing through his nerves. These signals, encoding movements like wiggling fingers and feelings like shock and pain, will be transmitted to a computer and recorded for the first time." http://www.cnn.com/2002/TECH/science/03/22/human.cyborg/index.html Jury awards woman $300,000 in exorcism suit - AP - Fort Worth - "A Tarrant County jury has awarded $300,000 to a woman who claimed that members of her church restrained her and attempted to perform an exorcism on her six years ago.

The Highly Misleading Truth and Responsibility in Mental Health Practices Act: The "False Memory" Movement's Remedy for a Nonexistent Problem by Judith M. Simon "Over the past few years, the "false memory" movement has manifested primarily as a media presence that discounts sexual abuse survivors as first-hand witnesses to their own experiences. Its message of disbelief has compromised the healing process of many and placed more children at risk by helping perpetrators escape accountability." http://members.aol.com/conch8/antiTRMP1.html Web page with Masonic urls.

Mr Hoon raised further the tensions surrounding the imminent deployment of 1,700 British marines in Afghanistan with his controversial comments, aimed at Iraq, Libya, Iran and North Korea. Echoing President Bush's recent approach, he suggested that they were four "countries of concern" which may not be deterred from unleashing weapons of mass destruction by the threat of a nuclear strike. Mr Hoon warned the defence committee in the House of Commons that these countries should be "absolutely confident" that Britain would fire nuclear weapons on them if they deployed their own chemical or biological weapons. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A5339-2002Mar22.html >From U.S., the ABC's of Jihad - Violent Soviet-Era Textbooks Complicate Afghan Education Efforts By Joe Stephens and David B. Ottaway Washington Post Staff Writers Saturday, March 23, 2002; Page A01 In the twilight of the Cold War, the United States spent millions of dollars to supply Afghan schoolchildren with textbooks filled with violent images and militant Islamic teachings, part of covert attempts to spur resistance to the Soviet occupation. The primers, which were filled with talk of jihad and featured drawings of guns, bullets, soldiers and mines, have served since then as the Afghan school system's core curriculum. Even the Taliban used the American-produced books, though the radical movement scratched out human faces in keeping with its strict fundamentalist code....Published in the dominant Afghan languages of Dari and Pashtu, the textbooks were developed in the early 1980s under an AID grant to the University of Nebraska-Omaha and its Center for Afghanistan Studies. The agency spent $51 million on the university's education programs in Afghanistan from 1984 to 1994. During that time of Soviet occupation, regional military leaders in Afghanistan helped the U.S. smuggle books into the country. They demanded that the primers contain anti-Soviet passages. Children were taught to count with illustrations showing tanks, missiles and land mines, agency officials said. They acknowledged that at the time it also suited U.S. interests to stoke hatred of foreign invaders. http://www.mwaw.org/ MWAW: The victims of an attack on Iraq: the young, the old and the vulnerable John Pilger - The promised attack on Iraq will test free journalism as never before.
