It?s hard days for freedom of expression in the European Union. First, countries were told that they could not restrict food imports, only to be deluged by Mad Cow Disease and Foot-and-Mouth. Now they are told that criticism of the institutions and leaders of the EU can be lawfully suppressed, sweeping aside English Common Law and 50 years of European precedents on civil liberties.

The EU?s top court found that the EU could legally fire Bernard Connolly, a British economist who was dismissed in 1995 for writing a book, entitled ?The Rotten Heart of Europe,? that criticized the new currency known as the Euro.

When Major, a 12 year old lion at the Newquay Zoo in southwest England, died recently, an autopsy revealed that had feline spongiform encephalopathy (FSE), the cat form of mad cow disease.

Mike Thomas, managing director at the zoo, said the lion must have caught the disease from eating the brains and spines of cattle, ?so poor old Major must have caught the disease at another zoo. We don?t feed brain and spinal column?our lions are fed on rabbits?whole rabbits.?

Major was the 2nd lion in Britain to get FSE, but so far 85 house cats have been diagnosed with it since 1990. Three cheetahs, three pumas, three ocelot and two tigers have also developed the disease, which causes cats to stagger and become confused and disoriented.

Our government spied on the Soviet Union for decades, but now that the cold war is over, theyre aiming their sights on us.

The April 2001 issue of Popular Mechanics reveals that two powerful intelligence gathering tools the U.S. created to eavesdrop on the Soviets are now being used to monitor Americans. One system, known as Echelon, intercepts and analyzes our phone calls, faxes and e-mail, looking for key words.

The other system, Tempest, can secretly read the displays on personal computers, cash registers and automatic teller machines. Whitley Strieber was personally warned by a government agent 15 years ago that the data on his computer was being read in this way.

A group of former military officers have flown in a private jet into a chemtrail that was being emitted from a military cargo aircraft. They obtained samples of the aerosol and had them tested in a laboratory.

The trail contained barium (non-radioactive) and tiny particles of aluminum. A mixture like this would increase the reflectivity of the atmosphere and reduce the amount of sunlight reaching the surface.

ED. NOTE: On April 5, 2001, our attempts to contact these officers directly failed. We therefore cannot confirm, as if this date, that this event actually happened. We relied on a trusted source, but the details of the flight–where it occured, when, who was on the plane, etc.–cannot be verified.
