# Brit 'Supergerm' Created For Defense - 'Ethnic Specific' Germs Discussed.
UK Ministry of Defense has disclosed that it is creating lethal genetical-
ly modified (GM) organisms in a secret program to prepare defenses against
a new era of germ warfare. The research uses similar genetic engineering
techniques to those that create GM foods sold in supermarkets. Countering
enemy weapons - see http://www.sightings.com/politics4/ethgerm.htm
: What ethnic groups would you like to target with bioweapons? Can/should we

# TULSA PANEL SEEKS TRUTH OF 1921 RACE RIOT. A few elderly Oklahomans lived
through one of the worst race riots in U.S. history, a rarely mentioned
1921 Tulsa blood bath that officially took dozens of African-American
lives, but more likely claimed hundreds or even thousands. Unmarked
graves - see http://cnn.com/US/9908/03/tulsa.riots.probe/index.html
: Does your belief system promote the slaughter of members of other ethnic/
religious/political groups? Are such slaughters just harvests impelled by
alien/gov't/corporate mind-control mechanisms, or do you do it for fun??

# New X-Ray Vision Will Let Cops See Through Walls. NEW YORK (APBN) Three
high-tech labs are in the final stages of developing a new form of radar
device that can see through walls by broadcasting radio signals across
broad bands of the spectrum to pinpoint a hidden suspect. Based on
military technology, the products still need gov't approval and won't go
on sale immediately. http://www.sightings.com/politics4/xrayeyes.htm
# Do you want X-Ray vision? Do you have it already? Do alien/gov't/corporate
agencies peer thru your walls, watching you? Do you peer thru walls? At who?

SKEPTICAL INQUIRER SEPT/OCT 1999 PREVIEW
== Flash! Fox News Reports that Aliens May Have Built the Pyramids of Egypt!
Pseudoscience as news? The Fox Networks' handling of its primetime special
"Opening of the Lost Tombs: Live from Egypt" raises ethical questions.
== Where Do We Come From? A Humbling Look at the Biology of Life's Origin.
The origin of life on Earth is a fundamental scientific question, but we
do not know as much as many biology textbooks would like you to believe.
== Profits and Prophecy - Hayseed Stevens and Oil in Israel.
A fundamentalist oil entrepreneur mixes creation science, Biblical proph-
ecy, and revivalist techniques for a program of oil exploration in Israel.
== Projective Measures of Personality and Psychopathology - How Well Do They
Work? Although projective techniques remain among the most popular of all
psychological measures, many critics have branded them pseudoscientific.
== What Every Skeptic Should Know About Subliminal Persuasion. Classic
research by cognitive and social psychologists suggests that subliminally
presented stimuli can be perceived & can influence individuals' low-level
cognitions. More recent investigations suggest that such stimuli can also
affect individuals' high-level cognitive processes, including attitudes,
preferences, judgments, and even their behavior. http://www.csicop.org

"The stranger clanked on Mrs. Dimmelwitz's commode, and she avidly watched
him - drinking in his pungent effluvial smell and gazing with flushed fasc-
ination at his tender, dewy buttocks peeping over his sagging tool belt -
until, as he cleared the clog she felt her heart (its valves narrowed by the
hard-water deposits of lovelessness) break free of its bonds and float like
fecund flotsam, drifting free of her dreary marriage, her crying baby, and
even the bloated Huggie, which had caused the clog in the first place."

CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
