I have for years complained of incessant harassment by persons who seek to disrupt my internet activities, whether I use Yahoo, Gmail or Angelfire/Lycos, or any other company. Their motives are to limit access to my sites and to "demonstrate control" by using cyber-command-style tactics to make my work difficult, but generally the level of disruption is kept at a "politically tolerable" level.

One would assume that government operatives are behind the harassment, whether or not they use cut-outs. That's because the disruptions occur no matter what terminal or email account I use, implying continuing surveillance on a scale that requires government funding.

One favorite of theirs is to prohibit me from receiving White House email alerts intended for the general public. This was done under Bush, but alerts started to arrive after a change in chiefs of staff. In the latter months of Bush's presidency, they ceased.

 I signed up for alerts from the Obama White House and, upon receiving none, I sent an email to a few people with the headline: "Is there a no-read list?" Since then, other emails from lists have ceased being delivered: two science news circulars and a daily scripture circular. I suppose that the control freaks are either trying to lay down a smokescreen so they don't have to permit the White House emails to arrive or they are "upping the ante" after I complained. I'm sure they not only read my emails.

Respect the First Amendment clauses for freedom of speech and freedom of religion? Ho ho ho...

Black holes may erupt near Geneva this fall, but don't worry, there's a theory that says they'll evaporate almost immediately. Of course the theory hasn't been verified, and, anyway there is at most a one in 100 chance that they'll be formed, says Stephen Hawking.

Hawking's estimate of the probability that CERN's Large Hadron Collider will whip up sufficient energies to form miniscule black holes is given in the latest issue of Discover magazine.

He's the fellow who came up with the theory that miniature black holes are possible and that quantum mechanics implies that they'd evaporate rapidly. But suppose he's right about the lil devils but that they don't cooperate and leave immediately. Well, then, doomsday.

I have no idea of the likelihood of such an event. But we've come to a strange pass when a miniscule group of experts decides on what's a safe risk for the remaining 6 billion of us. True, in WWII, some physicists wondered whether the fission might just keep going and blow the world up. But, at least they could say there was a world war on.

I haven't read transcripts of Billy Graham's discussions with Nixon concerning his feelings about Jews.

But some take offense to Graham's use of the phrase "synagogue of Satan" which comes from the Book of Revelation. I'd like to point out that this is a reference to people who put on an outward show, but their actions show who they really follow.

 These days one might say a person who says one thing but under cover does something else is a member of the "church of Satan."

In a nice piece of investigative reporting, the Manchester Guardian has disclosed that Tony Blair knew about torture of terrorism suspects as far back as January 2002.

Blair's spokesman did not deny the Guardian report that, as prime minister, Blair was aware that torture was being used against terrorism suspects held by a foreign power, presumably the United States.

The former PM's spokesman however insisted that Blair had never condoned torture.

British interrogators were instructed to take a "do nothing" stance if they became aware of torture, except that if a captive told of having been tortured, there was to be no further contact with him. The British attitude strongly suggests that its officials considered the CIA's "enhanced interrogations" to be nothing other than torture.

I have ceased using Blogger for the Znewz1 blog. After several attempts on different accounts, each one was bedeviled by some sor of bug or other.

So we'll give Angelfire a shot.
