NEWS OF NIETZCHE'S DEATH CAUSES TURMOIL
===

(CNNS, 05/08/99) -- Subsequent to  a  report two days ago by this
news service, in which we  pointed  out  that  Friedrich  Wilhelm
Nietzche,  reputed philosopher, is dead, vast turmoil has erupted
throughout the world.

Millions  of  "well educated" persons are struggling to cope with
the news of Nietzche's  death.   With their anthropological deity
misconceptions and post-modern chic fashionabilities now crushed,
this has led to a new rash of angst, as  shown  in  items  below.
Since  the  props  against  their inner emptiness, founded on the
bulwark  of  Nietzche-ism,   now   lie  in  ruins,  international
Yuppie-ism is undergoing a profound spiritual crisis.  The  inner
abyss   of   Neo-liberal  thinking,  now  unchained  by  news  of
Nietzche's death, is suddenly manifesting in various locales:

** When an earthquake measuring 6.5 on the Richter scale hit Iran
on   Friday,  killing  8  people,  hollow  sophisticates  bravely
struggled with the  news.   "The  truth  is  relative," many were
heard to say.  But when, shortly thereafter,  a  quake  measuring
6.1ontheRichterscalerockedAlaska,smug
pseudo-intellectualism crumbled.  In India, hundreds of thousands
are  now  sleeping  in  the  open,  having  deserted their homes,
"following predictions of  an  impending  apocalypse on Saturday.
Vast majorities of people fear that their houses may collapse  in
a  massive  earthquake  now  that  a  number  of astrologers have
predicted a doomsday catastrophe." [1]

** According to a  report  in  the Washington Post which appeared
yesterday, huge  rumors  are  sweeping  the  Maryland  area  that
"something"  will happen on May 10th.  The Post, notably, nowhere
in  its  story  provides  specifics  on  the  contagious "rumor."
"Nobody knows where the rumor came from, and nobody knows what it
means.  But the vague message that 'something will happen'  at  a
school  or schools May 10 has many local parents unnerved, police
preparing to patrol  campuses  and  Maryland state officials even
postponing an annual standardized test."  [2] Note how this story
directly follows the previous CNNS report on Nietzche's death.

**  NATO  pilots  are  flipping  out   following   their   sudden
realization that Nietzche,  arguably  the  anti-Christ, has died.
On May 7th, now-crazed  NATO  pilots  inexplicably  turned  their
bombs  against  a  Serb  hospital and a civilian market.  Reuters
reports that 15 harmless Serbs are dead and 70 are wounded.  [3].
Not long thereafter, NATO pilots, their inner  realities  crushed
by  news  of  Nietzche's  death,  turned  their spiritual turmoil
outward by destroying the  Chinese  embassy in Belgrade.  And the
Chinese themselves, also experiencing a values  crisis  following
reports  of  the death of the famous reputed philosopher, reacted
with "rage and incomprehension."   [4].  A special United Nations
meeting was called to deal with the erupting crisis.

In  light  of  explosive worldwide reaction to the CNNS report of
May 6, 1999, in which this news service pointed out that Nietzche
is dead and that God  is  still  alive, critics are appearing and
protesting that CNNS should never have emphasized the news.   But
we  stand  by  our reportage, even while we lament the subsequent
crises.
