-Caveat Lector- S O M E T H I N G S T R A N G E I S H A P P E N I N G 12/30/98 Quotes of the Year In an extended year-end quote collection, this edition of the ParaScope Dispatch offers a tiny sampling of how some of the TV's most highly paid psychics (often called "political commentators") were less accurate than a Magic 8-Ball during 1998. "If he's not telling the truth...his presidency is numbered in days. This thing is not going to drag out....If he's not telling the trutch and the evidence shows that, [he] will resign, perhaps this week." --Longtime critic of wasteful federal spending and recipient of government subsidies for his New Mexico ranch, ABC's Sam Donaldson on President Bill Clinton's future, Jan. 25, 1998 ------- "There is, ladies and gentlemen, absolutely no possibility that a so-called 'semen-stained dress' exists." --Former Ku Klux Klan chair-catcher and discoverer of Al Capone's empty vault, now CNBC's not-ready-for-NBC-primetime gabmeister Geraldo Rivera, a self- admitted "friend" and Clinton-booster, July 8, 1998. ------- "There will be no impeachment hearings before January 1999." --Bombastic prognosticator and General Electric (owner of NBC) corporate lapdog, John "WRONG!" McLaughlin, July 31, 1998. ------- "It's going to be Custer's Last Stand for the Democrats in November. They will be absolutely obliterated." Former Clinton pollster, political advisor and prostitute aficionado turned TV whore and political commentator Dick Morris, Sept. 14, 1998. ----------------------- Rant of the Week: “Just Do It” Every week we pick the wackiest, scariest, nastiest or funniest rant from the hundreds of letters received by us here at ParaScope headquarters, and present it to you as our Rant of the Week. This week, “Pogel” points out that actions speak louder than words, as evidenced by Hitler, the Jews, and the grass, or the roots, or the grassroots. Or something like that. Enjoy. "Hallo ! people been writing for 2,000 years,not many did something about it. the last one was HITLER and look what the goveernments did. all because they were under jewish control,so they commited all the crimes. working for jews ,they brought genocite to the german people and the decline of the west,and we are so stupit and pay for it. if the upper classes are not willing to do anything,then who will??? the grass root?they dont have any leader ship. so stop writing and do it over throw the government,that is the only way. good luck." ------ All rants are printed “as is,” with spelling and grammar goofs left uncorrected. Some rants may be edited for brevity or clarity, to the extent such a thing is possible. If you’ve got a rant you’d like to share, send it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with “possible rant” in the subject line of your letter. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Coming Up This Week!

Dossier revisits the dawn of the mind wars, with an updated special report -- complete with documentation -- that unveils the secret story of the agency's investigation of hidden persuasion. ----------- Kidding Gullible Believers: The Truth Behind the "KGB UFO Files" Hollywood loves sequels, so it shouldn't be surprising, after the high-ratings hoopla surrounding the Ray Santilli "alien autopsy" footage a couple of years ago, that a new UFOlogical blockbuster was recently unleashed. On September 13, cable network TNT broadcast "The Secret KGB UFO Files," a slick and entertaining program hosted by Roger Moore. And while this program featured some interesting Soviet Air Force gun camera footage, the bulk of it was spent in an excruciating examination of yet another "UFO crash/alien autopsy" farce. J. Antonio Huneeus, who was interviewed for the program, shares his authentic views of this bogus footage, and explains how his on-camera comments were edited to give the appearance that he believed the footage was real, when he in fact told interviewers that he had no basis for making such a determination one way or the other. ----------- UFO Cautionary Tales #6: The Horror of the Heights It's become commonplace to claim that Hollywood science fiction films and TV shows about aliens are all part of an enormous sub-rosa plot to gradually indoctrinate the world to the coming of extraterrestrials. Does Steven Spielberg need the MJ-12 to give him story ideas? Was Gene Roddenberry in the pay of the MIB? Such speculation is entertaining, but science fiction writers are perfectly capable of creatively exploring fictional alien worlds without the help of government psywar experts. As a special holiday gift to our readers, ParaScope presents Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Horror of the Heights," a fantastic science fiction thriller about an "aerial jungle" above 30,000 feet inhabited by gigantic, menacing creatures. Doyle's fictional vision presaged early UFO theories which asserted that the unknown objects populating our skies were actually ultra-high altitude (or outer space) animals, lured down to the "depths" of the atmosphere by our noisy warfare and atomic explosions. Paul B. Thompson's introduction sets the backdrop for this classic tale. ----------- Conspiracy Newsline http://www.parascope.com/articles/cnews All I want for Christmas is a New World Order!
