Horror in Burma: One of History's Cruelest Moments
09-May-2008
Devastation in Burma
|
We have warned on this website before about the danger of
cyclones in the Indian Ocean striking the delta of the Indus
in Bangladesh, but that flashpoint was missed by the recent
Indian Ocean cyclone Nargis. Instead, it struck the Irawaddy
Delta
in Burma (called Myanmar by its military dictators). From
the moment that the cyclone struck, there was little
question that there would be severe damage. Subsequently,
though, the fantastic cruelty of the military regime has
transformed a disaster into a catastrophe of
world-historical proportions. The junta is led by a monster,
Than Shwe, who is
personally responsible for the agony of millions of his
countrymen.

We recently wrote about how your
hair can

lies). But other scientists say the old-fashioned method of

They Want What We Want

100 More Seats Added to Dreamland Conference
08-May-2008
We have added a hundred more seats for the FIRST
Dreamland Festival, so we hope to be able to accommodate
everybody who wants to come, and still keep the group small
enough for the kind of intimate gathering we are all
anticipating. We cannot raise the number of seats any
further, so do make your plans as soon as you can, and get
set to enjoy an experience that will be very special and very
different from the usual big, anonymous UFO conference.
We're going to have a wonderful weekend in Nashville. Be
sure you're there!
