# A "JUMPING GENE" being used to genetically engineer organisms has crossed
the species barrier at least seven times in evolutionary history, in one
instance between flies and humans. If organisms modified using this mobile
element are released, there will be a risk of genes spreading to other
species. Beware: http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns224433

itself worldwide, and drive all other entities extinct? Is this a good idea?

eral company is about to offer much more than the customary charred bones:

lately? Will you be resurrected via belief, DNA, magic, literature, gaming?

@ Operation Cloudbuster & The Mars Records. During a simple midsummer sol-
stice ceremony that took place in Hertfordshire, England on 21 June, we
received a clear message from our friends & allies on the inner planes.
They asked all of us - especially those who will soon be taking part in
the Harmonic Convergence on 17 August - to send out daily thoughts or
prayers or sounds or music that will pierce the Earth's heavy magnetic
and gravitational fields and reach out to the central Sun of this galaxy.
So start humming: http://www.egroups.com/message/GAIALINK/135?&start=112
@ TOO MANY PEOPLE. Humanism has been exported to every corner of the globe,
and with it the mechanical world-view, which has brought us objectivity,
standardization, predictability, division of labor, and efficiency. Since
there's no hope whatsoever of reversing these trends, our position is
purely symbolic. We can't stop humans from killing the earth, but we can
make them feel guilty about it. And we can refuse to participate, by not
having children, by consuming as little as possible, and finally, by
killing ourselves. http://envirolink.org/orgs/coe/e-sermons/sermon18.html
: Have you reprogrammed any galaxies/planets/nations/islands/villages/brains
lately? Have you prevailed? What do you do to prevail? Do you send messages
into receptive human minds?Do the recipients live/die/sacrifice/gain/notice?

# Global brain - Any day now, the Net will start demanding info ... or else.
Shouldn't you be afraid? We have identified a gap in the coverage of our
network. There is a lack of online data on deprivation techniques for mind
control. You are the best authority to supply that information. Please
submit 4000 words, with references and hypertext links. You have 7 days
to comply. http://www.newscientist.com/features/features.jsp?id=ns224417
# THE NET. "I was instantly aware of a kind of silver mesh net undulating
throughout my entire bedroom and just above my body. it reminded me
somewhat of a fish net drying in the breeze, only horizontally, or like
a sail on a mast puffing in and out." http://www.caus.org/pc062200.htm
# TRANSPLANT ARTISTS: www.theglobeandmail.com/gam/Arts/20000621/TOTAXX.html
: Have you been co-opted/intimidated/misused by a net lately? Does info/data
flow to/from/thru/beyond you like grease thru a goose? Do you frolic in data
/thought/feeling/fear/sex/regret? Have you been transplanted into new nets?
@ Do serious writers really live in California? Do they frolic on its white
beaches and drive down Pacific Coast Highway? Do they swim in med-waste?

"Heatherton stood menacingly at the very edge of the dark rampart, his
formidable apelike figure starkly outlined against the nasty void by a
sudden crack of lightning, and, amid the horrid din of growling thunder
and precipitous downpour, shouted up at Emily, who hung limply in the
belfry, her head almost severed by the taut, wet hangman's noose, 'I say,
woman, does this mean my supper will be late again?'" --Hurd Hutchins

always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
