# CYBERWAR - Russians Attack Whitehouse.gov - WASHINGTON. The official White
House Web site was offline all day Sunday in what appeared to be its most
serious outage to date. A Russian online newspaper reported that anti-NATO
crackers were responsible, but a source close to whitehouse.gov blamed hard-
ware failure. http://www.wired.com/news/news/politics/story/18787.html
: Do you prefer cyberwars to physical wars? What gov't sites would you like
to wage war on? Would you rather be attacked with mailbombs or tac.nukes?

> VENTURA SAYS SOME COLLEGE ATHLETES SHOULDN'T HAVE TO ATTEND CLASS. Some
academically-challenged athletes shouldn't have to attend classes in order
to play college sports, Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura said. Ventura's com-
ments were aired from an interview with a young reporter for KARE-TV's
"Whatever," a show aimed at teen-agers. The interview was conducted after
allegations broke about academic misconduct in the University of Minnesota
men's basketball program. Ventura thinks he's underpaid - aren't we all?
http://cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/stories/1999/03/27/ventura.athletes.ap/index.html
: Which conspiracies are Gov. Ventura involved in? a) Dumbing-down America.
b) Making politicians look bad. c) Bread & circuses. d) Leave'em laughing.

@ Hidden US Law: URL http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/waisidx/14cfrv5.html
refuses to show section 1211 (and others). Section 1211 is where Title 14,
Section 1211 of the Code of Federal Regulations, implemented on July 16,
1969, make it illegal for U.S. citizens to have any contact with extra-
terrestrials or their vehicles. See http://www.kahealani.org
: Have you broken any hidden laws lately? Have you unlawfully contacted or
sheltered or eaten any extraterrestrials or their vehicles? Were they tasty?

# CHRONIC FATIGUE OR ALIEN ABDUCTION? Is there a connection between "Myalgic
Encephalomyelitis" or M.E (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) and the alien abduction
scenario? That's quite a big question to ask in these days of ridicule from
those who seek to conceal the truth, whatever that truth may be? "The truth
is a three sided blade" - the truth, according to the pro ETH people; the
truth, according to the hard line skeptic's; and the governmental bodies.
Somewhere inside all of this the truth may exist, but it all boils down to
one thing, the hard line. http://www.sightings.com/ufo3/etconnect.htm
: Have you been abducted recently? Was it very tiring? Would you rather be
abducted, run an Iron Man competition, have sex for 96 hours, or sleep in?

# AREA51-KOSOVO CONNECTION? The centuries old struggle began in June, 1389.
That's when the Slavic, Orthodox Christian Serbs fought the invading Ottoman
Turks in Kosovo. The Serbs were lead by Prince Lazar. See background story:
http://www.chron.com/content/story.html/world/kosovo/218986
: Is the Bob Lazar who revealed the alien UFO operations at Area51 related
to / descended from`/ reincarnated of Prince Lazar? Will Area51 fail too?
