@ THE GOD FACTOR. HowlingAtTheMoon's new book THE GOD FACTOR by Ian Wishart
is being launched today, alleging the New Zealand Prime Minister has been
meeting with a man at the centre of a major U.S. corruption scandal, and
that U.S. President Bill Clinton has a background in drug trafficking and
money laundering. The God Factor also examines the violent deaths and/or
unsolved murders of 70 people either directly associated with Bill Clinton
or investigating him - often in unexplained plane crashes. The evidence
has been meticulously researched: http://www.howlingatthemoon.com
: What's your favorite Klinton Konspiracy? Since reality can be evaluated as
maybe (true and/or false and/or unknowable and/or trivial and/or irrelevant)
which conspiracy theories do you value? Can reality match a good theory? Eh?

# Brazil in drought emergency. RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) - A severe drought has
prompted officials in a poor northeast Brazilian state to declare a state
of emergency. The drought has destroyed more than half the area's crops,
affecting many in the southern part of Piaui state, 1,500 miles north of
Rio de Janeiro. Many cities haven't seen rain for a year. Local officials
predict widespread starvation if state & federal authorities don't react
soon. http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2560344909-f9c
# Overpumping risks food supply. WASHINGTON (AP) Overpumping is sucking out
too much of the world's underground fresh water, with a stable world food
supply now risked by a rising global water deficit. The use of giant pumps
to extract ever-deeper water was once viewed as a boon for farmers world-
wide. Now massive pumping intensifies water shortages that threaten to
reduce global food supplies, spread hunger and increase social conflict.

: Should we melt-down ice asteroids for Earthly consumption? Should we let a
few billion people starve and dehydrate? Should we migrate to water worlds??

# The Opposite of Attraction. Researchers discover evidence of materials
with opposite charges that repel each other instead of attract. They can
build themselves into nifty contraptions, too. Doing sneaky things - see
http://www.wired.com/news/news/technology/story/20797.html
# Scientists pick up after Einstein. CAPUTH, Germany (AP) Physicists at an
international conference will focus on proving string theory, which would
allow scientists to unite the two primary theories in physics: Einstein's
theory of general relativity and quantum theory. Grand Unification next?
See http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2560342283-87f
: Do you prefer attractive or repellent materials, theories, theorists? What
sneaky things to physicists do? Can attraction/repulsion be unified? In who?

@ MAGIC CIRCLE. In the broadest sense, magic is 'the art of making things
happen', a metaphor for a dynamic relationship between human consciousness
or will, and all that lies beyond it: events, circumstances, objects, peo-
ple. Magic implies some measure of control, thru guidance or manipulation.
Thus it implies a technique whereby reality is induced or coerced to con-
form to certain specific objectives. Magic, in short, is the process of
exploiting the malleability of reality, and of shaping it, or alchemically
transmuting it, in accordance with given purposes or goals. This was Nost-
radamus' method. His was the grandest conspiracy of all. Michel's secrets
are now revealed at: http://www.execulink.com/~idris/select.html
: Do you induce or coerce reality to change? Are you better at metaphysical
magic, political magic, sex magick, software magic? Do you steal magic? Has
your magic been stolen? Are you bored by magic? Are videogames better? Why?

"Dolores breezed along the surface of her life like a flat stone forever
skipping across smooth water, rippling reality sporadically but oblivious
to it consistently, until she finally lost momentum, sank, and due to an
overdose of fluoride as a child which caused her to lie forever on the
floor of her life as useless as an appendix and as lonely as a five-
hundred-pound barbell in a steroid-free fitness center." --Linda Vernon

CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
