Hmmhhh....I post about the "Net and Terrorism" on Sunday, and the Viper
Militia and their plans to blow up several courthouses in Phoenix are
revealed a few hours later....Snow posts about using computers to knock out
the power grid, and a few hours later power goes out over 15 western
states....

Coincidence? I think not.

But we can test this hypothesis:

"Alien spaceship images will appear in thousands of darkened rooms and will
trigger mass hysteria."

We'll find out tomorrow if Cypherpunks really do have the Power.
