Secret Files Reveal UK Police Feared That Trekkies Could Turn On Society
An anonymous reader writes: Scotland Yard was worried that fans of shows like the X Files and Star Trek might run amok during the Millennium according to secret files. The file, called UFO New Religious Movements (NRMs) And The Millennium, reveals that anti-terrorism experts were also concerned about the brain-washing effect of Dark Skies, Roswell, Millennium and The Lawnmower Man on viewers. According to the Telegraph: "The secret briefing note was obtained from the Met under the Freedom of Information Act by Sheffield-based British X-Files expert Dr Dave Clarke while researching a new book, How UFOs Conquered the World. Dr Clarke, who teaches investigative journalism at Sheffield Hallam University, said: 'The documents show the police and security services were concerned about the export of some new religious movements concerning UFOs and aliens from the USA in the aftermath of the mass suicide by followers of the Heaven's Gate.'"
I take it you weren't actually there. Most of the Y2K problems I (and the company I worked for) was involved in fixing were in UNIX systems and aged, still-working mainframes.
Fuck off Islam apologist. Sure, not all muslim are islamist, but all Islamist are muslim. And stepping around this to avoid hurt feeling only endanger us. Do you want to go the way of the middle east buddhists? Everywhere islam when it destroyed the culture and erased, almost, all traces of it's existence. You may argue that is is human nature, stronger culture always replace the weaker one, but then what is the evil in fighting back? Shouldn't we also be allowed to exist? Face it, the truth is that you are anti-westerner and/or anti-white.
As if the bible was any better, you fucking racist asshole.
Because all christians are one race, and Muslims another you ignorant appeaser
