Hey Guys, It's Mark checking in from The Great White North (Vancouver). Here are a couple of tidbits for you to ruminate on that I dug up recently. I immediately thought of you. There's a new flick opening soon that sounds like a swipe at the evil Illuminist Yale fraternity Skull & Bones: Skulls Movie Information Joshua Jackson (Dawson's Creek) and Leslie Bibb (Popular) star in Universal Pictures suspense thriller The Skulls, an Original Film/Newmarket Capital Group production directed by Rob Cohen (HBOs The Rat Pack), produced by Neal Moritz (Cruel Intentions) from an original screenplay by John Pogue (U.S. Marshals). Luke McNamara (Jackson) pays the ultimate sacrifice for fitting in. Once the over-achieving New Haven townie is able to claw his way into an Ivy League College, he is invited to join an elitist secret society known as The Skulls. He jumps at the chance, hoping it will help secure his acceptance into a prestigious law school. At first seduced by the club�s upper-crust trappings, Luke finds himself ensnared by his own ambition when his journalist roommate commits suicide amidst cloudy circumstances. Now at the risk of his own life, he must outwit The Skulls at their own game. The Skulls opens nationwide on March 31, 2000. The following comes courtesy of the ISP company Illuminati Online (www.io.com/news): Tuesday, November 09, 1999 Welcome, Governor Bush Illuminati Online welcomes a new collocation customer . . . (http://www.georgewbush.com), the official website for the George W. Bush campaign. This site is quite an effort; in addition to the features you would expect from a campaign page, it has a regularly updated list of donors, a Spanish-language section, and audio clips. It runs on some of the most beautiful hardware we've ever seen: four Dell PowerEdge 6300s, collocated at the IO offices. These are lovely systems, rack-mounted and standing taller than I am (visualize all us hardware geeks making admiring little noises). Can you say �pages load fast�? The Bush campaign chose IO because they wanted to stick with an Austin ISP . . . and, in a city that has several high-quality Internet providers with first-class connectivity, they picked us because of our reputation for customer service and reliability. We�re proud of that . . . and we�re proud that so far, we�re doing the job they expected. Also, I found an interesting sentence in an article that New York Magazine book critic Walter Kirn wrote on actor Warren Beatty and that appeared in Time Magazine on 8/23/99 titled 'President Bulworth.' The sentence of note read that Mr. Beatty refused to quash rumors that he had been approached by unnamed Illuminati urging him to seek a spot on the presidential national ticket, as of August 23, 1999. I emailed Kirn to ask him, among other things, where he got the notion to refer to these people as 'Illuminati' in the first place. No response yet. In his book 'Blood Lines of the Illuminati' author Fritz Springmeier claims that the Beatty's are a Satanic bloodline family. I received the following from a chap working on AI (artificial intelligence) at MIT. I sent him a query on Freemasons at that institution: "Mark, I have been told that, until some time in the 1970s IIRC, al Institute Professors at MIT were Freemasons before they became Institute Professors (the title of Institute Professor carries with it perpetual tenure, a handsome salary, and extreme freedom - current examples are Noam Chomsky and Marvin Minsky). Vennevar Bush, one of the more illustrious of MIT's presidents (and MIT Corporation chairman), and Institute Professor Harold Edgerton (the strobe photography guy (remember pictures of bullets frozen in flight and balloons half way through bursting?) - someone I personally met years ago, before he died), were both Freemasons." I sent New Left media darling Chomsky an email asking if he was affiliated with the Grand Lodge or the Grand Orient (there's a big difference). No response yet. I've only seen the war between English and French Masonry exposed in one book, John Daniel's magnum opus 'Scarlet & The Beast.' You really must read this book. I just thought I'd check in with these interesting items. Pax Christi, Mark [EMAIL PROTECTED]
