This week, the Sci Fi channel is running a poll about the new movie The Day After Tomorrow based on The Coming Global Superstorm by Art Bell and Whitley Strieber. Sci Fi is owned by Fox, the company that is also distributing the movie. They ask: “Do you believe such a scenario is possible?” So far, about 4,000 people have voted. 48% say, “Yes. It’s only a matter of time,” 34% say, “No. It’s hysterical exaggeration” and 19% say, “I’ll believe it when hell (or New York) freezes over” (which it does, in the movie). Unknowncountry.com readers are more up-to-date on the facts about global warming than anyone else, so let your voice be heard and vote! If you become a new subscriber by May 6 (this Thursday), you?ll receive a free autographed copy of the novelization by Whitley Strieber.read more

In his provocative new journal, Whitley writes: “In January of 2003, I published a journal entry on this website in support of going to war against Saddam Hussein. The reason I offered then is even more valid now than it was then. It is that the west needs at least one substantial, proven and stable source of oil outside of its own borders. The stakes are not small: we need this to survive. To those who ignore the oil problem, claiming that ‘free market’ forces will always find enough supply to meet demand, I say this: one ideology is as much an illusion as another.”

“Donna” writes in our series of new Communion Letters: This is not a tale of missing time, but of gained time, courtesy of the aliens. My daughter, her step-daughter and myself were driving to attend a dance show at a local college, which is a solid three and a half hour drive from our city. We needed to be there at 5:30 and we didn’t get on the road until 3:30, which was going to make us an hour late for the opening.

Two Miami talk show hosts managed to call Fidel Castro and chew him out on the air, before he hung up on them. They’ve been fined $4,000 by the FCC and plan to protest this by paying in pennies, so they’re asking all their listeners to send in one cent.

Jane Sutton writes in worldtribune.com that Enrique Santos and Joe Ferrero, hosts of “The Morning Joker” show on Spanish-language radio station WXDJ-FM, plan to deliver 400,000 pennies in person to the Federal Communications Commission. Santos says, “We prank-called a head of state in a country that is considered hostile to the United States. He’s a violator of human rights and they’re fining us $4,000. We just find it absurd.”
