# Cult silenced members, deterred officials before murders. KANUNGU, Uganda.
They separated their followers from home & family. They tricked or bribed
local authorities, and they kept their flock hungry & silent. An intricate
system of controls allowed leaders of the Movement for the Restoration of
the Ten Commandments of God to orchestrate the murders of hundreds of
followers. http://www.deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,165006823,00.html

mindcontrol? Have you ever witnessed something that couldn't happen? Was it
miraculous? Are there more good/evil/neutral miracles? Do you record them?

# Pig Organs For Humans Soon. MILLIONS of Nigerians who suffer from diabetes
or are in need of new organs may be rescued from death or daily injections
shortly, with a one-off transplant of cells from a genetically modified
pig. But is it kosher? http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/news2/nn783305.html
# Biotech brings world to eve of new age. If parents could ensure their kids
a life free from cystic fibrosis, cancer or famine,who among them wouldn't

the world disease-free also opened the door to ravaging,herbicide-tolerant
pests or the rise of a Hitleresque super race? Should we kill the scien-
tists now? http://www.deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,160009481,00.html

pests? D'ya prefer your super-race to be Hitleresque, Disneyesque, Madonna-
esque, BigBirdesque? Should your pig-organs be timed for Venusian rotation??

# Mutant lobster is food of the future. (SunTimes) THEY could call it Claws.
Geneticists hope to create the world's biggest lobster after finding how
to block the genes that limit animals' natural growth. In secret experi-
ments,scientists have already applied the technique to make giant chickens
and sheep and are also working on other livestock, including cattle. Yum.

# STELLAR SHOCKWAVE PASSES EARTH. (NASA) An interplanetary shock wave passed
by NASA's ACE spacecraft. The conditions are likely to create geomagnetic
disturbances on Earth and possible displays of aurora borealis at middle
latitudes. Watch the skies at midnight. More: http://www.spaceweather.com

# Stardust Spacecraft Catching Dust In The Wind. Like an excited kid hoping
to snag a fly ball at a pro game, NASA's Stardust probe has extended its
high-tech "catcher's mitt" to grab a valuable space souvenir: interstellar
dust particles. http://sciencedaily.com/releases/2000/04/000424092256.htm

# Demos Duped. Site proclaims "Jim Williams: Congress 2000," and the slogan
of the congressional campaign: "Vote for me and I'll kiss your ass." On
the campaign platform: promises to deport Jerry Falwell and put a picture
of X-Files star Gillian Anderson on the new $100 bill. Sounds pretty good
to me: http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2565948446-387
# UNREPENTANT: [ via http://www.artsjournal.com/Digest.html ] David Irving
was disemboweled when he lost his defamation suit, but he hasn't changed
his ideas or actions. On TV interviews he was "unrepentant, chilling, and
scary. The worst was the way he kept repeating in an insinuating manner
that if he were Jewish, he would be asking himself exactly what his people
had been doing for thousands of years to make everyone hate them so much."
http://www.jpost.com/Editions/2000/04/21/Culture/CultureNews.5744.html
: What's your favorite political position? Do people hate/love you? Do you
make promises? Are you believed/believable? Does your conspiracy attempt to
attract/repel people? Are people irrelevant? Is everything irrelevant? Why?
