| Scientists get death threats over Large Hadron Collider |
| 2008-09-05 |
| Scientists working on the world's biggest machine are being besieged by phone calls and emails from people who fear the world will end next Wednesday, when the gigantic atom smasher starts up. The Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, where particles will begin to circulate around its 17 mile circumference tunnel next week, will recreate energies not seen since the universe was very young, when particles smash together at near the speed of light. |

| #9 There is no mention of the collider in the koran. So another advancement in human knowledge is being hailed as un-islamic. Hence the obligatory death threats. |

| #8 ANOTHER "BIRTH PANG" OF GLOBALISM = OWG-NWO, + A BIG 'UN TO BOOT. MINOR WORM/BLACK-HOLES have been appearing over the skies of GUAM-WESTPAC, which I personally don't believe is linked to SOLAR-SPACE ACTIVITY NOT OF EARTH. I do believe these same are responsible for the spate of HURRICANES in the Atlantic and other. IRONY >= IFF ONE BELIEVES THAT HUMANITY IS AT RISK OF PENDING SEVERE CATASTROPHE(S), EVEN EXTINCTION, AS PER UNCONTROLLED/RUNAWAY GLOBAL WARMING = MMGW [NEAR-TERM] VEE VARIOUS MSM-NET MMGW PERTS, THEN BY THEIR OWN SCOPE > THESE HOLES ONE DAY MAY PROVE TO BE THE SALVATION OF THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE [Time-SPace Travel, etc.]??? E.g. MANHATTAN PROJECT = ATOM BOMB, HYDROGEN + THERMONUCLEAR BOMBS INCLUD "CHINA SYNDROME" > great debates occurred amongst Academic and Govt Perts as to the POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES FOR MANKIND, "NORMAL" INTERNATIONAL POLITICS, AND THE VERY SURVIVAL OF EARTH AS WE KNEW IT, ETC. AS A CONSEQUENCE OF DEV AND DETONATING A WORKING PROTOTYPE(S) OF THESE NEW TECHS. IOW, FEW IFF ANY WERE ABSOLUT CERTAIN OF THE OUTCOME, INCLUD FAMOUS OR NOTED SCIENTISTS, UNTIL WORKING BOMBS WERE ACTUALLY BUILT AND DETONATED. A similar premise underlined. among other, why the USA sent DOGS + CHIMPS INTO EARTH ORBIT BEFORE HUMANS!? FDR > WE HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR EXCEPT FEAR ITSELF. OWG-NWO = "SAVE THE WHALES, BUT MANKIND/HUMANITY" MUST PERISH", BEFORE WHALES, ETC DO AND WIDOUT HUMANITY MAKIMG ANY ATTEMPT TO SAVE HIMSELF??? WE NEED TO SAFELY CONTROL AND OPERATE THESE HOLES! Unless of course, MMGW Doomsayers/Prophets wish to PUBLICLY RECANT ["Clarify"]THEIR CLAIMS??? |

| #2 I may lay off a large bet that the universe doesn't disappear in a flash of light, if I can find a sucker to bet the other way. |
