# Entering The Millenium: Facing The Threat Of Self-Extinction. PARIS (AFP)
For the first time in history mankind enters a new century facing threats
of self-inflicted extinction. With explosive population growth bringing
not just more people but also more pollution, more greenhouse gases, more
toxic waste and more irreversible damage to the biosphere, the environment
has moved in 100 years from a peripheral to a central focus of the global
political agenda. http://www.sightings.com/politics4/threat.htm
: Are you ready for extinction? Have humans faced extinction before? Do you
relish the thought of extinction? Do you work for the Reptilioids? Why not?

# Australia recruited Nazis. MELBOURNE (AP) Australia secretly recruited
Nazi scientists, including former members of Hitler's SS guards, for
defense projects after World War II, Australian newspapers reported
Monday. The allegations come from information in previously classified
documents from the country's National Archives. Ben Chifley, then prime
minister, allowed at least 127 Nazi scientists into the country to work
on government defense projects, the papers said. But they despised Aussie
beer. http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2560731899-00c

# Fans mark death of Elvis Presley. MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) Elvis Presley fans
sobbed at his grave, tapped their toes to rock 'n' roll and dressed like
their idol to mark the 22nd anniversary of his death. Up to 4,000 devotees
gathered in the street in front of Presley's Graceland mansion to light
candles from a torch at Presley's grave before walking single file up the
driveway to the grave beside Graceland's swimming pool. Then they were
abducted: http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2560729729-c77

@ Space Business Archives: created in 1992 by industry officials convinced
that the history of commercial space flight was being lost thru destruct-
ion of documents and departure of key industry personnel through industry
downsizing and retirements. They amassed thousands of pages of business
plans, proposals, video tapes, pictures and other key papers (many one-of-
a-kind) that otherwise would be lost to history. http://spacearchive.org/
: How many documents have you destroyed? What's your part in the cover-up of
alien involvement in the US space program? Are you proud of your work? Why?

"It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents --except at
occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which
swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling
along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps
that struggled against the darkness." --Edward George Bulwer-Lytton
