Burned Alive For Being A Thief
 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/new...

A suspected thief screams as villagers set fire to his legs after stripping him and tying him to a cross in Pelileo Grande, Ecuador, 75 miles south of Quito.
Mario Quishpe had been caught stealing and locals took summary justice. A priest, along with other villagers, extinguished the flames and he was taken to hospital where his burns were treated.

A Brief History Of Cannibal Controversies
 http://exploration.vanderbilt.edu/news/news_cannib...

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.

Begins with supposed transcripts from astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin observing aliens during the moon landing:

- ASTRONAUTS: “I say that there were other spaceships. They’re lined up on the other side of the crater.”
- MISSION CONTROL: “Repeat...repeat!”

The Ghoulish Quest For God
 http://www.thedailyitemoflynn.com/news/view.bg?art...

In 1853 a Unitarian Minister attempted to piece together a pile of magnets, various steel shafts and spheres, zinc and copper plates and a dining room table into what he called the New Messiah.
The machine was apperently brought to life during a ritual that lasted several days, but was abruptly destroyed by local farmers in a Frankenstein-esque riot.

Why Are Aliens So Obsessed With Earth?
 http://english.pravda.ru/science/mysteries/29-09-2...

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. :shocked:
