# 'UFO COVER-UP FADING' SAYS SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT. Washington.
Unidentified Flying Objects, a term given for many years to unexplained
sightings of craft in the skies over every state in the Union, are actual
visitors from other worlds, believe a community of govt scientists and
technicians. They should know: http://sightings.com/general/fading.htm
@ Abductions: The Crucible of Nightmares. While instances of alleged abduc-
tion by UFO aliens are rife in North America, they are considerably less
prevalent in the Spanish/Portuguese-speaking regions of the world. This is
all the more curious considering that one of the earliest cases, and the
one most readily memorable, is without question the Antonio Villas-Boas
abduction (Brazil, 1952). http://www.llewellyn.com/fate/abductions.htm
: Have you covered-up any abductions lately? What's your favorite abduction?
D'ya work in alien abductions? D'ya prefer to abduct speakers of Latin/Asian
/Nordic/Semitic/other tongues? Are Anglophones easy to abduct, hard to hide?

# LIFE FORCE - Are we all quantum computers at heart? YOUR BODY is teeming
with quantum computers. Marching along your DNA and floating around your
cells, several hundred million of these minuscule devices are rearranging
your molecules in super-efficient quantum fashion. You are already
implanted: http://www.newscientist.com/features/features_22341.html
# Molecular Computers Come Closer. Molecules can now do math, coming a step
closer to building a supercomputer that might pack the power of a million
silicon chips into a wrist-watched sized device and work a hundred times
faster. http://www.discovery.com/news/briefs/20000414/tech_molecular.html
# Physicists 'Play Pool' with Atoms - better techniques for nanofabrication.
Fun, too: http://www.discovery.com/news/briefs/20000413/tech_atoms.html
: D'ya fear being engulfed by nanocomputers/nanobots/demons? Is it too late?
Are you nothing more than a network of computers/robots doing as they will?
Is the universe an analog computer that computes itself? Do deities compute?

# China Tries To Dispel Superstition. Beijing (AP) -- Olive-clad troops and
schoolchildren in gym suits came to the capital's military museum by the
busload to see optical illusions demystified and the magic of conception
and birth explained. The exhibition, which is now set to tour the country,
is part of an intense campaign by the government designed to encourage the
Chinese to embrace science and reject increasingly popular superstitious
beliefs -- and is the latest weapon in its bid to stamp out the Falun Gong
spiritual movement. http://www.farshore.force9.co.uk/n_sustit.htm
# Church 'will be dead in 40 years' - With attendances falling faster than
ever, a new report sees the future for Christianity in Britain as bleak:
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/UK/This_Britain/2000-04/dead160400.shtml
: Does your belief system thrive/wither with govt opposition/support? Do you
provoke govt opposition to promote your sect? Is govt approval fatal to you?

@ Can't figure out what's really going on at the IMF protests in downtown
Washington, DC? Having trouble reading between the lines in AP & Reuters
feeds? No problem. The A16 event, as it is so named, is well covered by
its participants. The Mobilization for Global Justice <http://www.a16.org>
is the primary organizer of the protest, with outspoken populist Michael
Moore <http://www.michaelmoore.com/> leading the charge. Similarly, the
Direct Action Network <http://www.agitprop.org/artandrevolution/> (DAN)
is an interest group that emerged from the Seattle WTO protests. Corporate
Watch <http://www.corpwatch.org/> can tell you the role of the man in all
of this. Independent Media Center <http://www.indymedia.org/> is a depot
for indy journalists working (and being busted at) the A16 protest, with
articles <http://indymedia.org/search-process.php3?medium=text&keyword=>,
pictures <http://indymedia.org/search-process.php3?medium=image&keyword=>,
audio <http://www.indymedia.org/search-process.php3?medium=audio&keyword=>
& videos <http://indymedia.org/search-process.php3?medium=video&keyword=>
from the site. And, to place historical perspective on all of this, Z-
Magazine <http://www.zmag.org/> is your one-stop shop for independent news
and opinions. And see http://www.memepool.com/Subject/Media/ of course.
