# Can time reverse? IN a distant galaxy, a star unexplodes. Just moments ago
a shell of tortured matter was flying together at 30,000 km/sec. Now it
has become a star; the last shreds of glowing debris are being sucked in.
With the explosion undone, the star begins the long journey back to the
time when it will be unborn into the gas & dust of an interstellar cloud.
Theorists say that regions where time flows in the normal direction can
coexist with regions where it flows backwards. There may be places, even
within our Galaxy, where stars unexplode, eggs unbreak and living things
grow younger with every second. http://newshub.com/cgibin/rd.cgi?9314379
: Do you prefer time moving forward, backwards, sideways, spiraling, other?
What's your favorite temporal axis? Have you shifted time modes lately? Did
you need to move to a different region of space? Is everything weird there?

@ UFOS AND THE BIBLE. Aliens : Angels or Demons? It's incremental acclimat-
ization from THEM! The book of the Jubilees remarks that Jared or Yeh-red
<http://biblestudytools.net/Lexicons/Hebrew/?id=03382>, an Old Testament
patriarch, was so called because in his days the angels descended upon the
earth - Yaw-rad <http://www.biblestudytools.net/Lexicons/Hebrew/?id=03381>
"descend". It is interesting to note that "Jordan" comes from that same
root word denoting "descent, coming down or falling" - Yar-dane "the place
of the descent" <http://biblestudytools.net/Lexicons/Hebrew/?id=03383>.
Jordan, "place of the descent", is located in the ancient boundary of
Israel. Israel is currently a major location for sighting UFOs, and the
fallen angels in disguise as "aliens". http://mt.net/~watcher/ufos.html
: Are your favorite deities all alien entities? Where are they from? What do
they want here? Are they incrementally acclimating us? How far along are we?
Are we/they descending, ascending, jitterbugging, masturbating, aestivating?

# China Preparing For War With US. Strategic writings by China's military
and party leaders show that China is making plans for war, according to a
new Pentagon study. Some 600 translations of internal Chinese writings by

military and nonmilitary means, such as propaganda, deception and covert
action. http://www.washtimes.com/national/nation3-02022000.htm

@ Lurking Legends. Many animals now known to science were once thought to
exist only in folklore. Even today, a menagerie of mythical creatures fire
both the imagination and those iconoclastic scientists known as cryptozo-
ologists. http://britannica.com/bcom/original/article/0,5744,3582,00.html
@ What is a Cryptid? Cryptozoological specimens, or "cryptids," include:
1) unknown species, 2) presumed extinct species, 3) known species found
far outside their normal home range, and 4) known species of unusual
individual size, form, pattern, or coloration. http://www.izoo.org/isc/
: What's your favorite unknown animal? Have you seen many lately? Are you an
unknown animal? Do you hide a lot? Are you extinct yet? Are you reproducing?

# Vision of Mary Seen, Asked To Kindly Leave! A vision of the Virgin Mary
was spotted on the teeter-totter at the Landover Baptist Children's Play-
ground over the CHRISTmas holidays. She held the youngsters spellbound for
nearly an hour before being sent away. "I said, 'shoo!' and brushed her
off like a horsefly." http://www.landoverbaptist.org/news0100/mary.html

CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soap-boxing! 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 credence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
