# Crop Circle Report From UK - Daily Mail Hoax Angers Many. The expedition
team from Beyond Boundaries is currently networking with researchers from
many parts of the world who are now together in Alton Barnes Wiltshire UK.
The debate goes on whether manmade or real - The London Daily Mail hired
known hoaxers & authentic artists to make a recent formation near Avebury,
then at first light of morning set up the one pound coin donation box, by
the fence, charged the Japanese TV film crew 50 pounds for filming rights,
and began interviewing people coming in to view the formation. Ridiculed
each named individual: http://www.sightings.com/ufo4/cropreport.htm
: What's the best way to make money from crop circles? Have you published
any material about crop circles? Have you been paid? D'ya have advertisers?

# Scientists hid BSE jab threat. (BBC) Children were given vaccinations in
the late 1980s despite risks of being infected with the BSE virus. Experts
deliberately played down the dangers fearing a far greater health risk if
parents stopped their children having vital measles, whooping cough jabs.

# Pacific Ocean Split - Cold In The East, HOT In The West -- (NASA/JPL)
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov The North Pacific Ocean continues to run hot and
cold, with abnormally low sea levels & cool waters in the NE Pacific con-
trasting with unusually high sea levels & warm waters in the NW Pacific.
Present conditions will be slow to change and will influence climate over
North America into the fall. "The north Pacific, which drives US climate,
is still extremely out of balance, with warm waters in the west and cool
waters in the east. When we see these large contrasts in the ocean, the
weather delivery system - the jet stream coming out of the north Pacific -
will do very unusual things. Like the stock market, we have a very vola-
tile situation brought on by the persistence of these ocean imbalances."
Ocean dizzified: http://www.sightings.com/earthchanges/oceansplit.htm
: Who is waging climatological warfare against the US? How do they control
climate patterns? How can/will/should the US retaliate? With what results?
