# ORIGIN OF AIDS VIRUS PINPOINTED. Researchers have traced the origins of
HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, to a subspecies of chimpanzee. Not long
ago, a chimp passed this virus on to a human, and a new viral infection
was born. http://healthcentral.com/drdean/DeanFullTextTopics.cfm?ID=25883
: What's your favorite infection? Is all life infectious? Is humanity viral?
Is life just a creative rearrangement of carbon compounds? Are we trivial?

# TROJ_PLAGE2000.A (new harmless worm that has been reported in-the-wild).
TROJ_PLAGE2000.A is the latest addition to the growing list of email
worms. When executed, TROJ_PLAGE2000.A displays a Winzip dialog box and
then modifies the registry (Windows NT systems) or WIN.INI (Windows 9x
systems) so that it becomes memory resident every time the system is
started. When active in memory, TROJ_PLAGE2000.A searches the Inbox
for unread email messages and then replies to them. It also attaches
an infected copy of itself (random filename) to every replied message.

: What's your favorite worm? Are you a worm? Are you harmless? Do you prefer
to attack MicroSoft products? Is Bill Gates satanic? Are you the anti-Satan?

# Japan cult guru's son kidnapped. TOKYO (AP) - Several people broke into a
facility of the Aum Shinri Kyo doomsday cult and abducted the 7-year-old
son of the cult's former guru Shoko Asahara, who is on trial for the 1995
Sarin gas attack on Tokyo subways that killed 12 people and sickened
thousands. TBS TV reported that the kidnappers were all cult followers
and included Asahara's daughter. It was unclear why the son was abducted.

strangers? Do you enjoy kidnapping cultists? Do you deprogram them? How??

"What is good? Whatever augments the feeling of power, the will to power,
power itself, in man. What is evil? Whatever springs from weakness.
What is happiness? The feeling that power increases -- that resistance
is overcome. Not contentment, but more power; not peace at any price,
but war; not virtue, but efficiency (virtue in the Renaissance sense,
virtu, virtue free of moral acid)." --Nietzche

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soap-boxing! 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 credence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
