Well, Denis, after we're rid of the Paranoid craziness, we can get on to
dealing with the objectively real *social* craziness, which it is probably too
late for, anyhow. You'll want to have the Paranoid craziness back, very likely.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Remember, you saw it on this TV channel *first*.

Organization: are you kidding?

Usenet has been flaky for at least a week now: it's not just outside the
US, either.  I have the momentary luxury of two accounts (both .edu, both
usenet/internet), and have found duplicated messages in single 'locations'
as well as messages which have appeared at one site a full day after
appearing at the other, or sometimes appearing only at one site and 
*not* the other.

Comments: To: HISTORY@UBVM.cc.buffalo.edu

Curiously, I have received a message in which the header
does not identify the sender, nor does the sender sign his
remarks.  Instead, he quotes extensively from a number of
previous exchanges and leaves my signature undeleted.

The posting would appear to be mine, but it is not.
If one looks carefully at the line punctuation added by
the various systems through which the text has passed,
it can be seen that my signature is actually a copy of
a copy.  In fact, the replies have accreted to the point
that it is practically impossible to tell who said what.

I think the posting represents an unfortunately sloppy job
of on-line editing and that what is in my opinion a breach
of netiquette was quite unintentional.  But I must emphasize
the seriousness of the matter: the sender came within two
punctuation marks ">" and ":" of committing a forgery.

To the poster, then, I say no offense taken.  But a word of
caution: if I'm going to put my foot in my mouth, let *me* do
it.  Otherwise I'll put it in yours.  Agreed?

Gee, where have I heard this type of stuff before (before even I had met
a practising "Eckancarite")? Sounds much like the game plan outlined by
Lobsang someone-or-other; then of course there was a group of occultists
in fin-de-siecle France which included Polish refugees who looked to the
second coming of Napolean -- these included a rather famous mathematician
whose name elludes me at the mo; and let us not forget the ethereal Madame
Helena Blavatsky (and co.) whose followers included that mystic genius
Guido von List -- his splendid insights, revelations, and theories certainly
did so much to raise the consciousness and harmony of the world by providing
inspiration for Nazoid "theories" of race and sound principles of government.
If these folks are messengers-of-God/avatars/saviours, then the Big Guy must
really be pissed at us, or at the least, He has a rather perverse sense of
Humour. %)

I have not laughed so much over a conspiracy theory since first reading
Macualay's demonstration that the House of Commons was the Beast of the
Apocalypse. I particularly enjoyed your progression from partly-factual
explanations of the two Gulf Wars to the alleged causes of WW I and WWII.

However the following part of your post made me understand something
I'd never realized before.

Now we can see that the 'volcanic' disaster in Campania, Italy in A.D. 79,
which buried the cities of Pompeii and  Herculaneum, was really an H-BOMB
tested by PARTHIA for the property speculator and banker Trimalchio, whose
resort developments were increased in value by destroying the competition.
(Note that the volcano was completely IN-active long before the disaster,
and was completely IN-active for a long time afterwards, though not
quite *ever since*. Nevertheless its 'eruption' in 1944 or 1945 was
presumably another secret atom-bomb test on behalf of the Rockefeller cartel).

Robert,

We've seen this post several times now, and if you are on the level then
it's not having the effect you intend.  If this is all true then we need
more cross references to the sources of the information; more than just
the Wisconsin Report, which, for all we know, is just a disinformation
source designed by the 'conspirators' the paper claims to be attacking.

It's a well known phenomena that you can desensitize people to the truth
by telling it, but wrapping it up in hysteria.

Who are the editors of the Wisconsin Report, and where do they get their
information?

interdpendent: lots of people ride donkeys, but are not the precursor of
the mahdi/messiah - not every volcanic eruption is taken to be the sign
of millenial change. 

So there's no necessity why 200 should be significant - except that if

For many of them, access is free, but they are listed as being available

This body exists under the EC (European Community).  The document that

I don't know whether this is the intended meaning of "hosehead"
in the original posting, but one meaning it has in Canada has to
do with the boys-will-be-boys practice of shaking up a bottle of
beer and "hosing" someone with it.  In the usage of Bob and Doug
Mackenzie, "hoser" or "hosehead" is a term of friendly
disrespect.

I still don't get it. I grasp "bonehead" (thick-skulled),
or "egghead" (big-brained), but  the meaning obtained
by modifying head with hose eludes me.

Dear Dennis,

     Don't get so serious about these postings.  I like getting
them once in a while just for laughs.  I usually satirize them
and then forward them to friends so they can get a laugh too.
If social unrest insues because of these fringe ideas catching on,
then I'll start to worry.  Right now all I see is freedom of
speech providing me with some over-due mirth.
                                             Glenn Greene,
                                             Descended Master
                                             of this particular keyboard

I quickly glanced through the log. Does this mean that anybody with access to
telnet can access this European Services network?

Can I have some of the drugs you are using.  I've always had a thing for
distortions.
