UFO Hacker Gets Reprieve...for Now
15-Aug-2008
NASA UFO hacker Gary McKinnon was about to be extradited to the
US for trial as a terrorist, since he lost his appeal in the
House of Lords, but he has now gotten a temporary reprieve.
US prosecutors have offered him a 4 year sentence if he
pleads guilty, but if he doesn't, they'll try to convict him for
the full 70-year sentence. If he's tried as a terrorist, he could
even end up in Guantanemo. On a search for covert UFO
information, he hacked into US military computer data from
2001-2002, so he may have come across secret information
about 911, which may be the reason the US is coming down
on him so hard.

them gave off at least one chemical regulated as toxic or
hazardous under federal laws, but NONE of those chemicals

Arctic (and Other) Battles
13-Aug-2008
The recent altercation between

Various countries are claiming the moon too (which has
its own
valuable fuel—although only the US has planted a
flag
there!) Already, the Russians and the Danes have BOTH
claimed the North Pole. Now researchers are mapping out future

Olympics: Are the Swim Trials Fair?
11-Aug-2008
An advantage nobody ELSE tells you about! -
When the mainstream media talks about the winners of the
Olympic swim trials, they don't mention that some of the
contestants have an extra advantage. The big controversy
at this year’s Olympics is the
high tech
suits being worn by some swimmers. This echoes the
concern about the high-performance drugs being taken by
some athletes. While the drugs are illegal, the high tech
swimsuits (so far) are not.

The Severed Feet Mystery Deepens

Baseball: A Latino Game?

We know it's a lefties game, but increasingly, it's also a LATINO

players has dwindled and players of Latino heritage have
become a major force on the baseball diamond in the United
