FOLLOW THE MONEY
As more and more journalists ask the question "who
profits from America's New War?', some fascinating information is coming to
light regarding connections between Bush Jr. & Sr., the CIA, drugs and drug
money, and of course, the role of "big oil" in this lastest manufactured
war. Don't take my word for it, hit the internet for dozens of articles
pointing to the real reason why the Taliban is being destroyed. Could it
possibly have anything to do with control of the world's largest supply of
opium and an estimated five trillion dollars worth of oil sitting under the
Caspian Sea? Gee, I don't know. You decide. Start here: America's New Lie
NOTHING TO FEAR BUT FEAR ITSELF
In a letter to the British Medical
Journal, researchers from the UK, U.S., and Australia warn that the fear of
biological weapons will probably create more illnesses in the future than
the weapons themselves. They explain that a "general level of malaise, fear
and anxiety may remain high for years, exacerbating pre-existing
psychiatric disorders and further heightening the risk of mass sociogenic
illness." Two examples of mass paranoia causing illness have already been
reported: a "bioterrorism" scare caused by paint fumes at a Washington
state school sent 16 students and teachers to the hospital, and 35 people
reported nausea, headache and sore throats caused by a liquid sprayed in a
Maryland subway station, which turned out to be a window cleaner. (BBC)
SPEAKING WITH THE DEAD
A 70-year-old French Catholic clergyman with
degrees in Latin, Greek, and philosophy, and who speaks 15 languages,
claims to have thousands of accounts of tape recorded messages from the
dead. Father Francois Brune has been studying "Trans-Instrumental
Communication" since the 1950's, and he claims to have incontrovertible
evidence that "the dead speak and can be taped." All you need, he claims,
is a tape recorder and blank tape, then ask the dead person of your choice
a question. Allow 30 seconds or so for a response, and you will usually
hear "whispers that are hard to understand." Occasionally, however, you
will hear answers as clear as through a telephone. Good luck! (Institute of
Hispanic Ufology)
SPEAKING WITH THE DEAD, PART 2
If you really want to talk to the dead,
head on over to the John Lennon Artificial Intelligence Project at
www.triumphpc.com where you can ask questions of a computer that is
programmed to answer your questions in the style of John Lennon. Sounds
intriguing, but as usual, reality is a bit less-than-inspiring. When I
asked John Lennon if I could have sex with Yoko Ono, he answered "What did
you have for lunch?" Charming, even in death.
CALLING ALL GHOSTS
An expert in occult phenomena claims that the increase
in cell phone use over the last 15 years is seriously affecting visitations
by ghosts. Tony Cornell, of the Society for Psychical Research, claims that
the electronic noise produced by cell phone calls may be drowning out the
electrical activity surrounding paranormal events. Ghost sightings have
remained consistent for centuries, Cornell claims, but in the past three
years sightings have dropped dramatically. (Sunday Express)
WAITING FOR THE DEAD
The Philippine capital of Manila is working on
legislation to ban funeral parlor salesmen from hospitals and clinics,
claiming that salesmen have been loitering in hospital lounges waiting for
patients to die, and stating that "the ordinance would serve as a measure
to protect families and individuals from the disgusting practice of some
funeral parlors, who through their agents, offer their services even if
hospitalized relatives are still alive," (Philippine Star)
CAREFUL WITH THAT STAPLER, EUGENE
Figures released by the Department of
Trade and Industry in conjunction with European Week for Safety reveals
that calculators caused 37 office injuries last year, rubber bands hurt 402
people, and staplers caused 1,317 injuries. As well, 18 workers were harmed
by hole punches, and correction fluid was responsible for 91 workplace
accidents. (UPI)
THAT'S WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR
Sandra Miranda, 35, of Brooklyn, New York, has
been charged with fraud after running up $4,600 in purchases using the
credit card of her best friend, who had died in the WTC disaster. Police
claim that Miranda pinched the card from her dead friend's apartment after
going to look after her cats after Sept. 11. (NY Daily News)
