@ THE STARGATE CHRONICLES. A web site by Clark C. McClelland, UFO Researcher
and Aerospace Engineer. Clark is a self-alleged NASA insider and a trained
aerospace engineer with over 53 years experience in the fields of space
science and UFO research. Until the release of The Stargate Chronicles, no
person working within the secretive inner circle of NASA at Kennedy Space
Center has had the courage to come forth with intimate data and historical
facts about the knowledge NASA possesses of "nonexistent" craft - UFOs -
unidentified flying objects that the US government refuses to acknowledge
as already having been identified. Those who choose to ignore the truth
can remain in a blissful dreamworld until reality hits the proverbial fan.
The truth is fast approaching. http://www.stargate-chronicles.com/
: Has truth bumped into you yet? Are you roadkill on the celestial highway?
Is Clark another disinformation agent, working to distract us from The Plot?

# 'Review of randomised controlled trials of traditional Chinese medicine'
Many randomised controlled trials have been conducted in China to evaluate
the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine, but much of the infor-
mation is inaccessible to Western doctors. Most trials claimed that the
tested treatments were effective, indicating that publication bias may
be common. The quality of trials of traditional Chinese medicine must be
improved urgently. http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/319/7203/160
: Should/can/will your traditional practices be evaluated for effectiveness?
Is tradition irrelevant to survival? What's your favorite ineffective herb?

@ THE ARCHIVES OF SCIENTISTS' TRANSCENDENT EXPERIENCES (TASTE) An online
journal devoted to transcendent experiences that scientists have reported.
It lets scientists express these experiences in a psychologically (and
professionally) safe space. Charles T. Tart, Ph.D., editor of this site,
saw a need for scientists to be able to share their personal transcendent
experiences in a safe, anonymous, but quality controlled space that almost
all scientists have ready access to. The site will take submissions only
from "scientists" although the public is free to visit and get a taste of
TASTE. http://psychology.ucdavis.edu/tart/taste/
: Have you had transcendent experiences? Are they susceptible to rational
exploration? Are they part of observable reality? Can they be most simply
explained by the near-infinite complexity of human consciousness? D'ya care?

The remaining astronauts strung out on the long tether could only wonder at
a universe full of eerie contrasts - brilliant stars against the velvety
blackness of space, the hot flare of their comrade's meteoric plunge into
the atmosphere against the cool-blue ocean below, the man's frenzied screams
on the radio as he was roasted by the heat of re-entry against the icy calm
voice of mission control as they grilled the astronaut on the far end of the
tether, and how hilarious it had all seemed when he first yelled "Crack the
whip!" --Roger Strong ** http://www.bulwer-lytton.com/99win.htm **

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.
