PEACE IN SPACE, AND SOMEDAY ON EARTH

The Space Preservation Act of 2001 has been introduced into the U.S. House of Representatives by Congressman Dennis Kucinich, a fascinating bill which seeks to implement a world treaty which would ban space-based weapons and "preserve the co-operative, peaceful uses of space for the benefit of all humankind." Standard stuff, so far, but the bill also proves that the U.S. military possesses various exotic weapons which have so far been relegated to the realm of speculation, including chemtrails, which have, until now, never been addressed by politicians. The bill seeks to eliminate so-called "psychotronic" devices (mind control weapons, that is) and even mentions chemtrails by name [in section 7 (II)(B)(i)], prohibiting inflicting death or injury by "expelling chemical or biological agents in the vicinity of a person". The bill would also eliminate weapons involving climate and weather modification, and military applications of HAARP and other experiments. Read the entire bill at www.peaceinspace.com

MEDIA GUERRILLA OF THE YEAR

One of the very best sources of alternative news (by best I mean hard investigative journalism without wild speculation) is the Guerrilla News Network. Now is as good a time as any to check them out, as the site has just been redesigned and moved to www.gnn.tv. Among the new bits is S-11 Redux: Channel Surfing the Apocalypse, a film which, at one point, splices an angry George Bush into footage of that strange hillbilly kid sitting on his porch plucking out the tune from Deliverance. Priceless! On a more serious note, GNN has awarded the 2001 Guerrilla of the Year award to Canadian Greg Palast, currently writing for the BBC and London's Guardian and Observer newspapers. Palast is the journalist who consistently breaks stories which are covered in all the European papers, but receive minimal coverage in America. Among his scoops in 2001 were stories of George Bush forcing the FBI to stop investigating bin Laden (waaaay before Sept. 11) and how Florida governor Jeb Bush managed to disallow at least 80,000 mostly black voters from casting a ballot in the 2000 presidential elections. Read all the details and much, much more at www.gregpalast.com.

I'D LIKE 10 MILLION FOR MY GARBAGE, TOO

A Florida man has placed an ad in The Florida Today newspaper trying to sell an object which he claims came from a UFO. James Hughes said that, 45 years ago, his friend was in a New Jersey garbage dump when a UFO dumped a rock-shaped object. Hughes says the object has been tested and found to contain unusual metal alloys. He hopes to get about $10 million for the relic.

MOON POWER

Professor David Criswell of the University of Houston's Institute for Space Systems has proposed a plan to solve the world's energy needs by building solar panels on the moon that would capture the energy of the sun and convert it into microwave beams that would be sent to the Earth and converted into electricity. He estimates the plan would cost about $60 billion , but would pay for itself in about five years, offering an inexpensive, abundant and stable energy source. (Reuters)

MIRACLE CURE NUMBER EIGHT MILLION AND SIX

The Bangkok Post reports that a former noodle-vendor turned witch doctor who claims that an angel gave her a the recipe for a miracle cure was able to heal a young boy who was bed-ridden and suffering from AIDS. She has now treating up to 1,000 people with her mixture of pig's tails and palm sugar.

STINKIN' GLOBAL WARMING

A research team in New Zealand has discovered that cow and sheep flatulence is releasing as much as 45 per cent of that country's greenhouse gases. The scientists suspect that methane released by animal farts may be a greater contributor to global warming than the burning of coal and oil. (The Scotsman)
