Interesting discussion on why it benefited colonising empires of the 15th, 16th and 17th century to label the foreign natives as cannibals.
..when Europeans invaded the New World, they saw cannibalism as the quintessential expression of savagery and evil, and used this as a justification for employing violent means to subjugate native people.Maybe this mirrors aspects of the modern War On Terror? Except you replace the word 'cannibal' with the word 'terrorist'; Israel sucessfully used this tactic to justify the invasion of Lebanon in July of this year.
Very long article that discusses 'evidence' for alien occupation of the moon, UFOs following spacraft from Earth, buildings on Mars and all that other good stuff.

A northwestern Pennsylvania woman used her 4-week-old baby as a weapon during a domestic dispute, swinging the infant through the air and striking her boyfriend with the child, authorities said.
The group allegedly forced the boy to eat his own faeces and broken glass while one of the girls is accused of threatening him with a metal bar...so he was so scared that he pooped right there and then or his arse was already poopy? I NEED DETAILS DAMMIT.
According to the UFO-researchers, besides collecting earthly soil probes and various healing herbs for medical purposes, the aliens request permission from the human females to hold their children.
The most radical enthusiasts claim that there are no actual natural earthlings left any more. We are all altered extraterrestrials. ![]()
Article arguing that space aliens actually evolved here on Earth as a subterranean species. Includes discussion on the anatomy of "Grays" and how they could be adaped to a life below the ground.
