Mt. Etna in Italy, Mt. Popopocatapetl in Mexico, and Mt. Cameroon in the Cameroons have all experienced activity in recent days (June 7, 2000). Mt. Popocatapetl ejected ash to 18,000 feet on May 23, 2000, then again on June 6, 2000. Popo has been active for some years, and there is concern that a major eruption could occur, although vulcanologists do not feel that the current activity indicates that this is imminent.

There was a substantial explosion from Mt. Etna on June one, with an ash column that reached 6,000 feet. Etna experiences frequent small eruptions, and the last major eruption was in 1992. The eruption observed on June 1 was much larger than usual, but not a major eruption.

Observer – Leading British Sunday newspaper the Observer has published a story suggesting that the British Ministry of Defence is not being candid with the public about its interest in UFOs, and that some dramatic recent sightings remain unexplained.

The story appears in the Sunday, June 4, 2000 Observer and concerns the efforts of Dr. Colin Ridyard, a research chemist, to obtain UFO information from the MoD.

Genetic foods are being grown freely in the United States without any significant public oversight. The reason is that the genfoods industry has convinced regulatory and political bodies that modified genes cannot spread from one species to another and mutation is impossible. These stories from Europe are not likely to be featured prominently in the U.S. media, but they are vitally important to our future welfare. What is more important–our ability to grow healthy food and be free of all the unknown consequences of this technology, or the continued enrichment of Monsanto and the other genfoods companies?

Scientists at the NEC Research Institute in Princeton, N. J., have submitted a paper to Nature for peer review that describes an experiment in which light was accelerated to 300 times its normal speed, so fast that the pulse exited the test chamber before it entered. While this does not mean that Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity, which states that the speed of light (186,000 miles per second) is the fastest speed in the universe, is necessarily invalid, it does mean that important principles of propagation are just now being discovered. Whether or not this research will lead to the ability to signal across time is unknown, but there is no theoretical barrier to this process.read more
