# Melting ice caps to trigger a Second Great Flood! HELSINKI, Finland - We
are just one year away from a flood of Noah's-ark proportions - a flood
that will destroy every man, woman and child on the entire planet! That's
the horrifying word from noted physicist Dr. Hannu Ritvos who - along with
27 other scientists in 16 countries - is urging officials of every nation
to take preventative action. But his pleas are falling on deaf ears. The
blind fools! http://www.weeklyworldnews.com/stories/1703.html

# Family feud clouds future of Aum sect. A bitter family dispute threatens
the future of the mystic cult responsible for the 1995 sarin gas attack on
the Tokyo subway system. The feud peaked Friday when the 7-yr-old son of
Aum Divine Truth's guru, Shoko Asahara, was abducted from a sect compound
in Ibaraki Prefecture, just north of Tokyo. Police have obtained arrest
warrants for two of the guru's daughters for being behind the violent
raid and kidnap. http://www.smh.com.au/news/0001/24/text/world11.html
# Aum cult exec busted. TOKYO (AP) A high-ranking official of the Aum doom-
sday cult that gassed a Tokyo subway was arrested for threatening bankers
who refused to open an account for the group, renamed Aleph. He shouted at
the bankers, threatening to bring political radicals to harass the bank.
Many Japanese right-wing organizations advertise their political views
from buses and trucks painted with Rising Sun flags & equipped with boom-
ing speakers. Such organizations have close ties with organized crime
groups. http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2563596786-140
: Is your sect wracked by internal dispute? Are all sects? What mafias have
you allied with? Does your sect have bank accounts, credit cards, weapons?
Should all sects? Who are the best-armed sects around? How is a well-armed
sect distinguishable from a private army? Do you want to control the world?

@ The Round Table Foundation of Electrobiology began to flourish. A consid-
erable misrepresentation as to cost of equipment is shown. Project Penguin
undertaken by the Navy is also claimed. A grant from General Foods and the
activities of associates reveals the connection to The Armed Forces Spec-
ial Weapons Project. http://www.qedcorp.com/pcr/pcr/test1.html
@ Channeled Idea: MAKING THE CHOICE OF POLARITY. As we consider service to
others, what is the Choice of polarity; how much do we make consciously,
how much subconsciously? What really are we doing in a metaphysical sense
when we make any choice? www.llresearch.org/newsletters/issues/1999_3.htm
: Would you rather be of service to others, or have others in your service?
If you served others, who would you serve them to? Do you use foodstuffs as
special weapons? Are your choices physical, metaphysical, military, mental?

@ TELEPHONE THREATS. Due to their great susceptibility to various attacks,
telephones probably pose the greatest single threat to audio security.
Look around; you see them everywhere, with growing numbers of attachments.
Many of these attachments are capable of being utilized as installed, or
modified with little effort to be used effectively as an aid to extracting
audio from within an area. Beware: http://www.dbugman.com/telthreats.html
: Are telephones our friends or our enemies? Has your telephone been compro-
mised? Does your phone beam mind-control rays into your head? Have cellular
phones fried your brain yet? Do wolves prefer to eat fried brains? Why not?

# Jesus, sexy? CBS is pleasing at least some of the people. LOS ANGELES --
"I think Jesus is sexy. What do you think?" a woman asked. It's the sort
of line that could be spoken only in La-La Land. She was watching Jeremy
Sisto, who plays the title character in the CBS miniseries "Jesus," dance
as a band played thunderously loud salsa music at a network party in Los
Angeles. http://www.bergen.com/yourtime/jesus200001222.htm

http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2563596126-5a3
: Are your religious icons sexy, greedy, complex? Can you make good money by
exploiting the religious, as well as grabbing power & influence? Do you con
the faithful for fun & profit? Have you had sex with your deity? Smoking??
