-Caveat Lector- NOTHING (ELSE) HAPPENED TODAY! ============================== (CNNS, 02/07/99) -- By a strange coincidence, nothing happened today except for the death of King Hussein, of Jordan. The "Monarch of Modern Jordan" picked a lucky day to die. On most other days it would be likely that other news would have occurred, in such places as France, Finland, Iraq, Germany, Israel, Ireland, China, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico or the United States, for example. But by an unusual confluence of events, the day of King Hussein's death, February 7, 1999, NOTHING HAPPENED elsewhere, throughout the world. On CNN's World News, the first 20 minutes of their half-hour broadcast was devoted to maudlin perorations on the death of King Hussein. Said Madeline Albright: "This sad death reminds me that I too am mortal, and will die someday. My only hope is that my death, like King Hussein's, will occur on a day when there is no other news." Said Bill Clinton: "We are reminded today that we all die. But will anyone notice when I die? I hope so." Said Defense Secretary Bill Cohen: "Hundreds of thousands have died in Iraq, but do they get mega-news coverage? But King Hussein has truly won honor for conspicuous consumption of news time." CNN's World News of February 7, 1999, did allow 3 minutes of coverage for the only other events connected with the day: (1) war drums for Kosovo; (2) lullabies for the Clinton impeachment trial. CNN World News then closed its worldwide broadcast with yet more adolescent realizations that we all die, that King Hussein has died, and that it's so sad that King Hussein has died. That's it! On February 7, 1999, nothing happened except King Hussein's death. The Koran says, "It is written." In honor of King Hussein the gods themselves have decreed that nothing else happens on this day (or days.) + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + INFORMATION PLEASE: Conspiracy Nation News Service (CNNS) is a co-operative effort.
