# HOME INTRUDER INSISTS: ALIENS PUT ME HERE! [via http://obscurestore.com/ ]
Mike Roberts came home to find blood on his floor and a stranger on his
couch. "He acted like he belonged there," says Roberts. "I grabbed him and
threw him on the floor and screamed at him. He said, 'Don't hurt me, don't
hurt me.'" The man had a good explanation: Aliens abducted him and put him
in the home. http://www.dmregister.com/news/stories/c4788993/10719354.html
# The Other Dead Media. (Wired) Magazines, books, newspapers, and other
traditional forms of expression aren't the only things headed for the
dustbin. So is "Humanity," as we currently know it. "It's only a matter
of time before your Aunt Susie is cross-pollinated with a parrot." Is
that so wrong? http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,34905,00.html
: Would you rather be abducted by aliens/angels, hoodlums, cybernauts, govt
agents, robots, deities/demons, me? Have they cross-pollinated you with a
parrot/poodle/paramecium yet? How many abductees have morphed into chimerae?
# ALIEN ENCOUNTERS: Relax! You haven't been abducted. Yet.

# Unheeded warnings - Predictions of floods in Mozambique were ignored -
unnecessary deaths: http://www.newscientist.com/news/news_222924.html
: Have you predicted any disasters lately? Were you ignored? Were you right?
# Low CO2 Levels in Atmosphere During Glacial Periods May Be Caused by Ant-
arctic Sea Ice. Conclusion: Global warming, further melting icecaps, may
raise atmospheric CO2 levels, triggering catastrophic "greenhouse effect"

# Melting of Earth's Ice Cover Reaches New High - faster than at any time
since record keeping began: http://www.worldwatch.org/alerts/000306.html
# Driving Ice-Age Cycles: http://www.nature.com/nature/fow/000302.html
: What's your favorite climate event? Have you modified climate lately? Are
you working real hard to trigger an unstoppable greenhouse-effect event? Do
your Venusian masters compensate you adequately for Venuforming the earth??

# Film Your Own Blockbuster - Making Animation Child's Play. (Wired) Enter-
prising filmmakers are using sophisticated rendering engines of computer
games to create movies full of dazzling effects without buying expensive
software. Cheapos: http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,34871,00.html

: Are you an enterprising, budget-conscious propagandist? D'ya need to make
your mind-control videos, filled with subliminal suggestion & posthypnotic
controls, for a fraction of your competitors' costs? When you get more bang
for the buck, do you: pocket the difference; make more propaganda; research
more effective mind-control techniques; bribe/suborn more co-conspirators?
@ Clueless in Seattle. The WTO street protestors wanted to halt technology,
save jobs, and save the environment. Their agenda would produce the exact
opposite: http://www.hudson.org/American_Outlook/articles_wn00/avery1.htm

# BASH'O'RAMA: They're Doing It To Us. A Catholic group in New York monitors
Catholic-bashing <http://detnews.com/1999/religion/9902/18/02190008.htm>
and publishes nationwide alerts. But they don't bother detailing injustice
to Muslims <http://detnews.com/2000/religion/0003/10/03090014.htm> [who
issue their own reports]. Neither Catholics or Muslims have much to say on
Jewish <http://detnews.com/1999/religion/9912/13/12130047.htm> rights. And
Protestants <http://detnews.com/2000/religion/0002/25/02260012.htm> aren't
bashed - unless you listen to Pat Robertson. Are Scientology & Catholicism
cults? See http://detnews.com/2000/religion/0003/10/03110015.htm

: Have you bashed any believers lately? Have they bashed you? Do you merrily
bash each others? D'ya encourage your religious opponents to euthenize them-
selves? Do your sheep resist other shepherds?Can you resist suicide's lures?
# BREATHARIANS: LIBERATED FROM FOOD, DRINK AND GOOD SENSE. Here's one you're
not going to believe - a cult that advocates living on air, exposure to
sunlight and their own urine - released from the drudgery of food & drink.
For obvious reasons, this cult's numbers are not really growing very fast.
Nice. http://www.healthcentral.com/drdean/DeanFullTextTopics.cfm?ID=29389

# ‘Hactivists’ plan DDoS Web attack. Electrohippies’ software could be as
effective as distributed denial of service tools used in last month’s
Web attacks. Targets to be warned: http://www.msnbc.com/news/380065.asp
# Doctor says WTO gassing led to health problems - chemical weapons used
against civilians: http://news.excite.com/news/uw/000307/health-96
@ I'VE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH SCHIZOPHRENIA. WHAT AM I UP AGAINST? A person who
is schizophrenic can't tell what's real from what's not real. They might
hear voices or have delusions. It's good that you are feeling okay on the
medication; modern psychopharmocology can help keep the symptoms in check.

@ "Guy (Note1), a skilled telegrapher, arranged for his father, a retired
railroad telegrapher, to operate a key, each closure and opening of which
resulted in a pulse of microwave energy. By directing the radiations at
his own head, complex messages via the Continental Morse Code were
readily received by Guy." http://www.raven1.net/v2succes.htm:

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
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.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
