-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 2/3/99 Quote of the Week "Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities. Truth isn't." --Mark Twain ----------------------- Rant of the Week: “a flying craf of your own” 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, “Infinity Mike” offers us a line on a complete database full of plans on one of those flying craft. Enjoy. "Let them have the land! Who cares, you'll never get to see how the craft work that way. Why expose them anyway? Aren't you really after plans for a flying craft of your own? I have plans for every and any. I don't sell plans. May build for someone I think can be trusted however. And if your intentions are the same as my own, I may even show you plans for more. Complete database. You will not share this with anyone wishing to expose it for idiots fighting for some lost cause." "Subjects covered: unified theory solved; why are there sets of 3 lights?; force conversion; endless free energy anywhere in space; exactly how anti gravity; and even dematerialization work; more...." ------ 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! Catch a number of great stories this week on the ParaScope web and AOL sites, including daily updates to our Conspiracy Newsline and Daily Dose features. Among the articles you'll want to check out: The Media and the Supernatural For many scientists and skeptics, distortion of facts and information in media portrayals of the paranormal and pseudoscience has reached critical proportions. Too often, mysterious forces eclipse rational explanations, if such explanations are even offered at all. But is there empirical evidence that portrayals of the paranormal really do have an influence on what people believe? Does the media have a responsibility to maintain balanced reporting? In a report from Skeptical Inquirer Electronic Digest, CSICOP's Matt Nisbet and Tom Genoni summarize the proceedings at a recent conference entitled "That's Entertainment! Hollywood, the Media and the Supernatural," hosted by CSICOP and the Council for Media Integrity. ------------------- Gary Webb Speaks on CIA/Contra/Crack Connection http://www.parascope.com/mx/articles/garywebb/garyWebbSpeaks.htm It's an issue that continues to boil beneath the surface. The CIA allowed drugs to be smuggled by its covert operatives into the United States. They KNEW about it. And they did NOTHING to stop it. But thanks to investigative journalists like Bob Parry and Gary Webb, the story got out. When Webb's "Dark Alliance" series was released on the Internet, the scandal exploded like a Molotov cocktail. But three years later, we're still fighting to get all the answers from a government that would prefer to sweep the whole thing under the rug. In January, Webb held a question-and-answer session on the CIA/contra/crack scandal, and ParaScope was there. Get a complete text transcript of the event, sound clips, photos and more in this special report, and find out what you can do to press the government for straight answers. ------------------- 1977 MKULTRA Senate Report http://www.parascope.com/ds/documentslibrary/documents/mkultrahearing/intro.ht m Our latest addition to ParaScope's Documents Library: "Project MKULTRA, the CIA's Program of Research in Behavior Modification." You can now read online the full report of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence's June 1977 hearing on the CIA's notorious MKULTRA mind control program. Testimony, document transcripts and image scans, and a document-specific keyword search feature. You won't find this one anywhere else online. Who loves ya, baby?! ------------------- CIA's UFO Secret Secrets on the ground, secrets in the skies. The Central Intelligence Agency has had plenty of both over the years. Now a declassified CIA history report adds detail to last year's startling revelation: the government lied about early UFO reports to conceal its top secret overhead reconnaissance programs. Was the U-2 spy plane the CIA's real UFO secret? Dossier editor Jon Elliston opens the files in search of the facts. ------------------- UFO Roundup http://www.parascope.com/nb/uforoundup/index.htm UFOlogy news and sighting reports from around the world: "Chupacabra" strikes again in Puerto Rico; green fireball sighted in Honolulu; "mystery boom" rattles central Delaware; daylight disc videotaped in northern Ireland; UFO flap spreads across Italy; unknown threat puts Cassini probe in "safe mode"; lots more news. ------------------- Conspiracy Newsline http://www.parascope.com/articles/cnews/index.htm USAF airman faces court-martial for refusing Anthrax vaccination which some fear may be linked to Gulf War Syndrome; trial begins for defendants charged with murdering a disabled black man by dragging him behind a pickup truck in Jasper, Texas; Pope takes the Pepsi challenge as Vatican allows papal imagery on billboards and potato chip bags to fund visit to Mexico and the U.S.; lots more news. ...All this, and much, much more! -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Jane, Stop This Crazy Thing!
