# Hackers put racist, anti-government slogans on embassy site. Hackers hit
a Web site for the U.S. embassy in China Tuesday, replacing its home page
with racist and anti-government statements. A group named Level Seven Crew
claimed responsibility on the page for the prank, making references to
bombing China and a "war of skill" with hackers started by the FBI.

: Have you hacked any govt websites lately? Do you target sites for ethnic,
political, religious, other ideological reasons, or for money, hatred, fun?

# Pigs Have Anorexia Too. LONDON (Reuters) Healthier human eating habits and
demand for lean meat is causing anorexia in pigs. Thin sow syndrome, as
the condition is known in pigs, is increasing as farmers use selective
breeding to produce pigs that are leaner and more muscular. Most pigs with
the syndrome are young females who do not eat enough, are hyperactive and
cannot reproduce, symptoms similar to anorexia in humans. But can they
sing? http://news.excite.com/news/r/990909/02/science-health-anorexia
: Do the same mind-control tricks that promote anorexia nervosa in humans
work in pigs too? Are humans good test cases? Are anorexics made or born?

: What's your favorite brain dysfunction? Can you control it? Do you control
any other brain (dys)functions? How much brain control is enough? Any? Why?

# Report says Mubarak attacker mentally ill. CAIRO, Egypt (AP) The man who
slightly wounded Egyptian Pres. Hosni Mubarak before being killed by pres-
idential bodyguards suffered from schizophrenia. The attacker, el-Seyed
Hussein Mahmoud Suleiman, had "psychotic disorder characterized by violent
rages and was diagnosed with schizophrenia" after seeking treatment in
1995. http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2561070969-922
: Can you control the dysfunctions of others' brains? Can you direct others
to attempt inner- and outer-directed violence? Is this politically useful?

# France probes Scientology. MARSEILLE (AP) France's Justice Ministry opened
an inquiry after finding that some three tons of evidence for an upcoming
trial of Church of Scientology officials was destroyed. But the Marseille
prosecutor's office said the disposal of certain sealed files in late 1998
was the result of negligence by a court clerk and not an intentional act.
France has long had a contentious relationship with Scientology, which is
fighting to be recognized as a legitimate religion in Europe, not a mind-
control cult. http://infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2561070714-db2
: How much power does your belief system wield? How much power is enough? Do
you suborn officials, control minds, plot to take over the world? Is it fun?

# China prohibitive on religion. WASHINGTON (AP) - Chinese citizens can face
harassment or prolonged detention in labor camps if they practice religion
outside officially sponsored churches. A US State Dept. paper also cites
credible reports of incidents of abuses of Buddhist monks & nuns in China,
including Tibet. China is one of 194 countries or territories examined in
the study. http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2561073746-ec8
: Do you prefer to run political, religious, economic or artistic systems?
Would you like to control them all? Do you like to punish dissidents, non-
conformists, unbelievers? Are you a dissident? Are you being punished? How?

@ CONSPIRACY THEORISTS, PARANOIDS AND CURIOUS DISCUSS MYSTERIOUS ILLUMINATI.
alt.illuminati covers such topics as the diabolical number 23, gray alien
attacks, those pesky black helicopters, and, of course, the New World
Order. With each posting, I am more and more amazed at the thoroughness
of the allegations, accusations, and illuminations. Apply here for
membership to the Thelemic Order of the Illuminati. News:alt.illuminati
: Are you conspiratorialist, paranoid, curious, illuminated? Do all writings
on the Illuminati just misdirect us from The Truth? Is it true that them who
know don't talk, and them who talk don't know? Do you talk? Do you know? Eh?

# Project uncovers roles of breasts in society. (U-WIRE) ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.
Breasts. Everyone has seen them. About half the human population has them.
They've gone beyond sexuality & sustenance to the crossroads of pathology,
desire, politics, commerce, power and control. The "Cleavage" exhibition
fills the gap between how women view their breasts and the public's rep-
resentation of them. http://news.excite.com/news/uw/990908/odd-108
: Are you controlled by sexual imagery? Are you an easy mark? Do you control
others with sexual imagery? Are humans easy to program? Are you programmed?
