* Several news organizations reported in March and April on Japanese men's increasing sexual fascination with high school and junior-high school girls. One expert interviewed by the New York Times, Hiroyuki Fukuda, 30, editor of a magazine whose title can be translated Anatomical Illustrations of Junior High School Girls, said, "The age at which the girls seem interesting is clearly dropping. But it's only the maniacs who go for girls below the third grade." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To read these News of the Weird newspaper columns from the past six months, go to http://www.nine.org/notw/notw.html (That site contains no graphics, no photos, no video clips, no audio.

Incapacitation does not result in an information blackout surrounding the dispensation of the case and a stonewalling of all attempts at contact the defendant. You can bet your sweet ass that Bell's volatile mental stability was not lost on his captors, who would undoubtedly realize that it would not take a great deal of prodding with the proper medications to put him in the same frame of mind that allows police social workers to convince small children that the mayor and the chief of police have molested them in satanic rituals involving circus animals. My guess is that he is currently ratting out each and every one of us for imaginary crimes in return for LEA promises that Comet Hale-Bop has been recalled in order to pick him up. Be alarmed. Be very all-armed! Loch N. Lode

On Wed, 19 Nov 1997 at 11:27:12 -0500 Bob Hettinga had an epileptic fit induced by excessive pressure in his swollen head and vomited forth: > Tim can make it as "repeatedly clear" as he wants after > the fact. However, he has, on several occasions, made > threats against people with more guns than he has, and, > sooner or later, they're gonna Aw, bullshit, Bob! You were wrong when you started this fuckfest and you're digging yourself deeper and deeper with every post. There was a time when I thought you had a brain and a modicum of common sense, but you've thoroughly disabused me of that fantasy. I once visited your website and thought, "This guy is cool!" Geez, I'm embarrassed to admit that now. You've taken Tim's comments out of context and done yeoman work for the enemy. If (or when) they ever find an excuse to bother him, they won't be showing _his_ posts to the jury -- they'll be showing _yours_, you clueless fuckwit. This is the age of "social convictions," in case you haven't noticed because you've been living in an e-cave. They don't prove cases anymore; they show that you're a "bad actor." It's all done with PR, whether totally in the press or partly in a courtroom. The first piece of paper the feds send out when they attack someone is a press release. The victim often first learns he's in trouble when the reporters call. > ...lucidity, but who has gotten increasingly radicalized > and militant at exactly the same time the world is figuring > out that his earlier... Maybe you're too young, child. The world is not figuring things out fast enough or on a large enough scale to offset the accelerating advance of the state. Tim has been around long enough to have figured out that the statists have pissed away his entire lifetime making him wait for things to get "figured out." You have no respect for your elders, who have gotten bored over more things than you have yet learned. You should be spanked and made to sit in the corner until you can behave. > It's almost as if Tim keeps trying to top himself, with > some newer and more grandiose claim about the impending > collapse of the world as we know it. It just ain't so. > The world don't work that way. Tell that to the Athenians and hundreds if not thousands of groups since who have been surprised when their worlds collapsed. Tell that to the Austrians and Germans of the 1920's. Tell that to the piles of bones in Cambodia. You suffer from the subjectivity of youth. You think that the universe revolves around your time and space and that those are unique in human experience. You're wrong. The times into which we are headed have every promise of being the very most "interesting" in human history. I for one won't feel a bit compensated by your future whines that you "wuz wrong!" If you had two brain cells to rub together you would have taken your lumps in Tim's first brushoff and shut up. He's got a right to his position and you haven't got shit. What you will have is a place in someone's black book if it turns out that your characterizations of Tim's posts ever turn out to be fuel for the enemy's meatgrinder. Ignorance, even stupidity, are pardonable if not too tightly connected to the motor mouth. You should consider that the damage you may do could far exceed the value of whatever pride it is that impels you to continue to articulate the government's ideal (and fatuous) arguments in this matter. > And, Monty, here's another fact: the world isn't going to > end on Thanksgiving Day, much less at the beginning of the > millennium. Only a complete fool would be that sure. > Armed storm troopers are probably *not* going to decend > on the denizens of this list and haul them off to newly > built gulags in the Rockies somewhere, or whatever the > current fantasy of the moment is. Really, if you just stopped and thought about it a moment, there are only a very few regular posters to the list. All of them could be hauled off without making a ripple. We are meanwhile playing war footsie with Iraq after having spent the better part of five years doing Clinton's best to disable, demoralize, cripple, and mismanage the military. We're a few press conferences away from being in way over our heads with a left-wing android in charge. Is this your picture of stable times and a secure Constitution? Do you seriously doubt that there are people in the Administration, at least in the bureaucracy, who wouldn't like to be able to make a few gratuitous PR linkages in a national emergency and have an excuse to get rid of the C-P annoyance once and for all? Did you miss entirely the personal destruction wreaked on Jim Bell _without_ a national emergency? Would you be utterly shocked to learn some day soon that you, too, have ordered odd chemicals from someplace or other over the last few years? Hey! It could _happen_! > However, to say that they're coming to take us all away > on Thanksgiving, or anytime soon, is more than a little > paranoid, and, No, Grasshopper, it is just a _little_ paranoid to suggest that it might be a possibility. You're putting words in Tim's mouth again. You can probably assume that if Tim were really convinced that that were going to happen, they would find only an inflatable Tim sitting in front of a 'puter relaying email through an indirect dial link. Or something like that. He's just concerned. I'm concerned. Anyone with a brain above room temperature is concerned. Ugly things are in the wind. > to attempt to force a confrontation in hopes of > preciptating a revolution, or even gratuitous publicity Why, Grasshopper! He's done no such thing and you well know it. You are the one making such characterizations (as if any of us needed that). Had I the time and the interest, I would check what archives there are to see if you did the same favor for Jim Bell. Fuckwit! Well, there's more, but your time's up. See you in the camps.
