# Scientology's Revenge. For years, the Cult Awareness Network (CAN) was
the Church of Scientology's biggest enemy. But the late L. Ron Hubbard's
L.A.-based religion cured that -- by taking it over.
http://www.newtimesla.com/issues/1999-09-09/feature_p.html
: Are you a Game Master in a cult? Have you programmed anyone lately? Have
you seized your opponents? Is there no one left to stop you? Are we doomed?

@ BOOK OF ENOCH. (4) And the eternal God will tread upon the earth...
(5) And all shall be smitten with fear, And the Watchers shall quake,
And great fear and trembling shall seize them unto the ends of the earth.
(6) And the high mountains shall be shaken, And the high hills shall be
made low, And shall melt like wax before the flame.
http://id.mind.net/~wolfc/library/ancient/enoch/enindex.htm
: Do your deities tromp around on Earth, scaring people, shaking mountains,
melting hills? Are you a deity? Have you melted any hills lately? Is it fun?
Are your Watchers justifiably nervous? Are you a UFO? Are they Watching you?

# Clinton given Falun Gong book. AUCKLAND,NZ (AP) As China and the US sought
to mend damaged ties, Pres.Jiang Zemin gave Pres. Clinton an unusual gift:
a book defending China's ban on a popular meditation sect by purporting to
expose crimes committed by Li Hongzhi, founder of Falun Gong, the popular
outlaw group. Titled "Li Hongzhi and His Falun Gong: Deceiving the Public
and Ruining Lives," the 150 pages in English are a relentless barrage of
propaganda from China's state-run media. The book contains gruesome photo-
graphs of Chinese allegedly made so crazy by practicing Falun Gong that
they committed suicide, were killed or mutilated their family members.
See http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2561126728-d2b
: Does meditation drive you mad? Have you mutilated your family? Have they
mutilated you? Does your sect practice mind-control? Are you good at it??

@ Giza Power Plant: Technologies of Ancient Egypt. Leedskalnin took issue
with modern science's understanding of nature. He flatly stated that
scientists are wrong. His concept of nature was simple: All matter
consists of individual magnets, and it is the movement of these magnets
within materials and through space that produces measurable phenomena -
that is, magnetism and electricity and so on. http://www.gizapower.com/
: Are your concepts of nature simple? Is nature simple? How well do y'r con-
cepts map-onto observable reality? Are you magnetic? D'ya take enough iron?

# Divining Water on Europa. (NASA) Circumstantial evidence for water on
Europa mounts as JPL scientists try an ingenious experiment to find
hexagonal water-ice crystals on the frigid surface of Jupiter's iciest
moon. http://science.nasa.gov/newhome/headlines/ast09sep99_1.htm
: What's your favorite frigid surface? Would you like to ski or ice-skate on
Europa? Would you install a ski-lift there? Are there prospects for profits?

@ 'Spirit Releasement' Newest Therapy / CE-VI - Close Encounters of the
Possession Kind. Through the voices of the clients in altered states of
consciousness, these alien beings reveal their purposes for being here,
they describe their homeworld civilizations, and many express the desire
to go "home." In some cases, the ET commandant on a nearby spacecraft, and
even the leader of the ruling High Council on the homeworld, will speak
through the voice of the client. http://www.newpara.com/baldwin.html
: Do ET commandants speak to you if your state of consciousness is altered?
Altered by what? What do they say? Have they revealed their purposes? Why?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
# E.T. - Don't Call Home - A spacecraft thinks for itself. NASA's fleet of
robotic spacecraft has generated scads of data about the solar system over
the past 40 years. Yet, for all the insights these unmanned missions have
provided, the spacecrafts are pretty dumb. A recent experiment, tho, could
make the next generation of planetary explorers smarter, more versatile &
less expensive. http://www.techreview.com/articles/oct99/benchmark4.htm
: Are you intimidated by spacecraft that're smarter than you? Do smart NASA
spacecraft talk to you when your state of consciousness is altered? Saywhat?

# Mars climate orbiter takes 1st photo. PASADENA, CA.(AP) The first picture
snapped by a camera aboard the Mars Climate Orbiter shows the red planet
from 2.8 million miles away looking like a tiny, out-of-focus piece of
elbow macaroni. The image is posted on the Internet site www.msss.com
The weather satellite is expected to reach Mars' orbit Sept. 23, about 9
months after its launch. Its mission is to map the planet's surface and
send back detailed information about the planet's climate over the next
2 years. http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2561128030-003
: Must we depend on NASA for Martian weather reports? Do we get better info
from Reptilioids, remote-viewers, clairvoyants? Are there Mars crop-circles?
