POPSBegone Heathens!!! From the comments: "Quick question. Does "any form of mysticism are represented" mean Christianity too? Because one definition of mysticism, from wiki, is "(from the Greek μυστικός, mystikos, an initiate of a mystery religion) is the pursuit of communion with, identity with, or conscious awareness of an ultimate reality, divinity, spiritual truth, or God through direct experience, intuition, instinct or insight." If it doesn't include Christianity, does that mean that symbolically eating the flesh and drinking the blood of your God, lighting candles, praying to dead people, chanting, performing hour or two hour long ceremonies lead by a man or woman dressed in funny robes, forming small groups to discuss sacred texts, believing that the dead will rise, marking your forehead with ash and speaking in tongues is ok, else you are wiccan?"

POPSFilms today, books tomorrow? by Mariam Mokhtar "But the scariest thing is how the Puteri Umno motion was passed without debate. An important call such as this should have warranted a little more scrutiny. If the Government were to accede to their request, then it is all Malaysians, who will suffer. Not just Muslims. Movies like the Harry Potter films will not be screened. Lord of the Rings, and even The Wizard of Oz will have to be banned. And what about science fiction films? Alien, Predator and others, may be full of horror, or lack unexplained traditional elements, and thus, will not fit in any religious teaching." In short - ban fucking everything. Would that make 'em happy?

POPSWas Russia's 'Hijacked' Arctic Sea Carrying Missiles to the Mideast?
Kouts says an Israeli interception of the cargo is the most likely explanation. But this theory, which some Russian analysts put forward in the days after the Arctic Sea was rescued and which Kouts agreed with in his interview with TIME, has been vehemently denied by Russia's envoy to NATO, Dmitri Rogozin, who says Kouts should stop "running his mouth." The official explanation coming out of Moscow is simple enough: the Arctic Sea, manned by a Russian crew, set sail from Finland under a Maltese flag on July 22. It was destined for Algeria and carried less than $2 million worth of timber. Then a group of eight Russian and former Soviet hijackers boarded the ship on July 24. The ship's tracking device was disabled in the last days of July and the ship disappeared. On Aug. 12, the Russian navy sent out a search party. Why, with so many other ships carrying much more valuable cargo, would the hijackers target the Arctic Sea and its small load of timber?

POPS"Missing" Nukes? Two years ago, six nuclear armed weapons were attached to the wings of a B-52 bomber and flown from North Dakota to Barksdale, the USAF staging base for Middle East operations. This took place in contradiction to all laws and all military procedures. Military experts could not recall a single incident of this kind ever taking place. Two years later, the event has still not been credibly unexplained. And of the six that were put on the plane in North Dakota, only five have been fully accounted for. Some folks have short memories. BrasscheckTV doesn't.

POPSBritain BC / Britain AD Episode 1 of 2 (BC) and 1 of 3 (AD). Fascinating new understandings of British culture, history, and archaeology. Rather than being solely the inheritors of Roman, Anglo-Saxon, and Norman invaders, Pryor demonstrates that there was a sophisticated homegrown British culture that didn't just roll over when the next group of heavily-armed foreigners in boats showed up. And that in the absence of outside "civilizers" Britons didn't just revert to mud-wallowing barbarians.

POPSSuper Sperm more (at source): The researcher said: 'Sometimes, during the fine-tuning process, high rates of infertility can be seen. That's probably the reason for the very high rates of unexplained infertility in the last decades.' Dr Hasson, of Tel Aviv University in Israel, says women's bodies have gradually evolved extra 'defences' to force sperm to become more competitive to reach the egg at all. Men have responded by making more of the aggressive super-sperm. Once the first sperm fertilises an egg, a woman's body throws up a further range of biochemical defences to stop all the others reaching it. Dr Hasson said: 'To avoid the fatal consequences of polyspermy, female reproductive tracts have evolved to become formidable barriers to sperm.

POPSUnexplained Phenomenon Google Logo: Can You Explain It? telegraph.co.uk/technology/google/ flooded with inquiries and theories on the subliminal message. The logo, showing a classic saucer-shaped spacecraft shining a light down on the search-engine's regular logo, has been the subject of much speculation. The world's internet voices want to now whether the all-powerful web giant is trying to tell us something. But nobody can work out why Google has chosen this date to put a UFO logo on the world's most visited web page. "Does anybody know what's going on?" asks one. "Aliens landed on Earth this day last year," offers another blogger by way of explanation. Some think Google's global dominance may extend beyond this planet. "If Google says the aliens are coming, I'm getting out of here," says one US blogger. One of the things bothering the online community is that early on Saturday morning the new logo could be seen in some places, but not others. "Am I the one that is going crazy?" asks

POPSU.S. Web-Tracking Plan Stirs Privacy Fears In a statement Monday, American Civil Liberties Union spokesman Michael Macleod-Ball said the move could "allow the mass collection of personal information of every user of a federal government website." Even groups that support updating the policy question whether the administration is seeking changes at the request of private companies, such as online search giant Google, as the industry's economic clout and influence in Washington have grown rapidly. Two prominent technology policy advocacy groups, the Electronic Privacy Information Center and Electronic Frontier Foundation, cited the terms of a Feb. 19 contract with Google, in which a unnamed federal agency explicitly carved out an exemption from the ban so that the agency could use Google's YouTube video player. Contract Terms The terms of the contract, negotiated through the General Services Administration, "expressly waives those rules or guidelines as they may apply to Google."

POPSDeclassified: Russian Navy UFO records more (at source): On one occasion a nuclear submarine, which was on a combat mission in the Pacific Ocean, detected six unknown objects. After the crew failed to leave behind their pursuers by maneuvering, the captain ordered to surface. The objects followed suit, took to the air, and flew away. Many mysterious events happened in the region of Bermuda Triangle, recalls retired submarine commander Rear Admiral Yury Beketov. Instruments malfunctioned with no apparent reason or detected strong interference. The former navy officer says this could be deliberate disruption by UFOs.

POPSReport: IDF and Iran already Engaged in 'Cyber War' Well if this is true, then it will be a fast paced escalation into other war types. I wonder with all the cyber battles happening around the world, when we will begin to see Cyber Mercenery's begin to offer their services to countries. I suppose the benefit of cyber war for a mercenery is that while they might get zapped online, they don't have the worry of physical damage or death. Could possibly be a very lucrative business in the future for really good hackers looking to be cyber mercenerys or cladestine cyber operatives ;-)

POPSJellyfish - Evolution Mystery More: "we can no longer accept that cnidarians are an evolutionary relic. They are in fact highly evolved to take advantage of their habitat and the 'higher' animals within it, as their ability to kill all kinds of vertebrates (including humans) demonstrates. Soft-bodied animals don't leave fossils easily, and their exact phylogeny is always controversial. The terrifying truth about jellyfish is that they mess up our established ideas about evolution, and show us how much we have left to learn."

POPSGinsburg Temporarily Blocks Chrysler Deal Among the likely explanations for her action: * Ginsburg may have decided to share the decision on what to do with her eight colleagues, and they needed more time to think or talk about it. * Members of the Court may have decided that they wanted to give some explanation, or perhaps some may have decided to dissent and wanted a chance to prepare a statement saying so. In the meantime, it was her task, as the Circuit Justice, to impose a limited stay. * Ginsburg or the Court may be waiting to see how the Second Circuit explains its decision to uphold the terms of the sale. The Circuit Court issued no opinion on Friday, indicating that such an explanation would come “in due course,” although the expectation was that one or more opinions would emerge from those judges on Monday.
