# "I believe there's life in outer space." (The Ottawa Citizen) E.T. is out
there, astronaut Julie Payette believes -- but she doesn't expect him to
call anytime soon. "It is very presumptuous for us to believe we are alone
in the universe. We don't even amount to as much as a grain of sand. But
it is also presumptuous to believe that these other forms of life would
come to visit our little planet, in our little solar system, in a modest-
sized galaxy in an enormous universe that contains several billion other
galaxies." http://www.ottawacitizen.com/national/990707/2577736.html
: Are you visiting Earth from another galaxy? Is it nice here, or hideous,
or primitive? Do you harvest humans? Are we tasty, useful, smelly, holy???

# Pulpit holds folks together through ages. (Deseret News) -- Church pulpits
are time machines. Using the pulpit, a pastor or priest can hurl his cong-
regation back to the Garden of Eden or forward to Paradise. In The Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, with lay clergy, everyone gets to
drive the time machine. Is this the ultimate in interactive empowerment?

: Is religion a virtual journey? Does your belief system transport you or
others across a space/time continuum? Do you live in a parallel dimension?
Do Mormons live in another universe? Do you wish they'd stay there? Why??

* HOW TO DETECT A 2-WAY MIRROR. When we visit toilets, hotel rooms, changing
rooms, etc., how can you that the seemingly ordinary mirror hanging on the
wall is a real mirror, or actually a 2-way mirror (i.e. they can see you,
but you can't see them)? It is very difficult to positively identify the
surface by just looking at it. It's time to get paranoid. Just try this
simple test: Place the tip of your fingernail against the reflective sur-
face and if there is a GAP between your fingernail and the image of the
nail, then it is a GENUINE mirror. However, if your fingernail DIRECTLY
TOUCHES the image of your nail, then BEWARE, for it is a 2-way mirror!
So remember, every time you see a mirror, do the "fingernail test".
: Are you under surveillance? Do They watch you when you pee, change, sleep,
groom? Do you test all mirrors already? Do the voices in your head make you?

Shoot-o-Rama:
# Interviews with racist aired on TV. CHICAGO (AP) Chilling words videotaped
by a racial shooting suspect left journalists pondering whether broadcast-
ing Benjamin Smith's message would explain his hatred or spread it. NBC's
"Today" show and ABC's "Good Morning America" aired interviews by the 21-
year-old white supremacist, blamed for a 2-state shootfest that killed 2
and wounded 9, ending with Smith's suicide. In the ABC interview, conduc-
ted by a student documentary filmmaker, Smith said a racial holy war was
inevitable. On NBC, Smith described Jews as "a parasitic race" and sugges-
ted that blacks be deported to Africa. Two experts in criminology believed
the videos helped explain hate groups. And NPR interviewed Smith's guru.

: Are you non-Aryan, parasitic, sub-human, human-alien hybrid, trans-human,
god-like? Do you want to kill/deport/exploit your inferiors/superiors? Why?
# UNLICENSED GUN DEALER CHARGED IN MIDWEST SHOOTINGS. Legal proceedings have
begun against an unlicensed gun dealer accused of illegally selling fire-
arms that Benjamin Smith allegedly used in a two-state shooting spree tar-
geting blacks, Jews and Asians. Donald Fiessinger, 64, appeared in federal
court on charges of selling firearms without a federal dealer's license.

: Are Smith & Fiessinger merely pawns in a gov't plot to further restrict
& outlaw personal firearms? Did CIA mind-control rays force Smith to kill?
# U.S. HATE GROUPS HARD TO TRACK. The number of hate groups in the US is on
the rise, and keeping track of them is difficult, at best. It's not even
certain how many there are or how many members they have. But there's no
doubt that Smith, 21, is suspected of killing 2 people & wounding 9 others
in a 3-day shooting spree targeting blacks, Jews & Asians in the Midwest.
'They tend to be secretive' http://cnn.com/US/9907/07/hate.groups/
: Do you hate? Do you tend to be secretive? Is your hate group inspired by
political/religious doctrine, money, ignorance, alien implants, telepathy?
# Members of racist killer's cult jailed for mayhem. (Miami Herald) A white
supremacist suspected of targeting minorities in a deadly 2-state drive-by
shooting spree last weekend was a member of a hate group with deep roots
in Broward County. The World Church of the Creator originated here in 1973
and has about 65 to 70 members locally, former members say, but cop say
the numbers are less. "6 months to a year ago, they posed one of the grea-
test threats in Broward," said Det. Timothy Baughan, a hate-crimes invest-
igator with the Broward Sheriff's Office. "But they're dissembling now,
because when you convict one or two, everyone else runs for their little
hole." http://www.herald.com/content/tue/news/broward/digdocs/012644.htm
: How large is your hate group? Are your members only superior humans, or do
you have aliens, FBI infiltrators, reporters too? Do your members infiltrate
other groups? Do you help your alien controllers place implants in victims?
