# Old women fall foul witchcraft hysteria. KENYA: East Africa is haunted by
a witch-killing scare as violent lynch mobs in Tanzania & Uganda hunt down
scores of people suspected of casting spells. Many of the victims of the
hysteria are elderly people, often women who suffer from red eyes which
their attackers say is a sign of sorcery. In fact the condition is caused
by smoke from cooking fires in badly ventilated huts. Tanzania cops say
more than 350 people in the last 18 months have been beaten or burnt to
death by gangs. http://www.ireland.com/newspaper/world/2000/0113/wor6.htm

# Experts see evidence of will to live. NEW YORK (AP) - A desire to see the
year 2000 arrive may sit behind an unusually high number of deaths in New
York City in the year's first seven days. The increase may be tied to what
many researchers have long believed is a human ability to postpone deaths
as a major event looms. I want to live to see the heat death of the uni-

# Pop Rock Music & MindControl. SOMETHING FISHY ABOUT PHISH CONCERTS. DENVER
(Wireless Flash) There's something fishy about the band Phish -- at least
if you believe a man who's been to more than 30 of the group's psychedelic
shows. Dan Hinman claims he's witnessed all sorts of odd behavior at the
concerts and concludes that the shows are mind control experiments conduc-
ted by the govt. Hinman says the band plays very unique hypnotic tones &
notes which frequently transform the audience into a group of willing
zombies. http://home.sprintmail.com/~rigoletto/reports/human_origins.html
: Have you controlled any/many minds lately? Do you use music, drugs, strobe
lights / tachistoscopes, ELF radiation, implants, hypnotic suggestion, sex?

# CIA recruiting drive paying off. (AP) The magazine ad offers jobseekers
"the ultimate international career," inviting those with a college degree,
an "adventurous spirit" and "a forceful personality." "Do you have what it
takes?" the advertisement asks in large type. More and more college grads
are deciding they do - and joining the CIA. While military recruitment is
slumping and federal agencies are struggling to compete with the private
sector's high salaries, the Central Intelligence Agency reports a jump in
new hires. http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2563393823-dd9
: Have you started an exciting career in intelligence analysis lately? Would
you rather spy or be spied upon? Are you controlled or a controller? Really?
