Hacker's 'moral crusade' over UFO
A Briton fighting extradition to the US for hacking into top-secret computers claims he was morally justified in breaking the law.

Gary McKinnon, 43, from Wood Green, north London, admits hacking into 97 US government computers, including Nasa's and Pentagon's, during 2001 and 2002.

He told the BBC he was on a "moral crusade" to prove US intelligence had found an alien craft run on clean fuel.

Results of judicial reviews into Mr McKinnon's case are due on Friday.

They focus on whether Mr McKinnon should have been allowed to face trial in the UK and whether the decision to extradite him should have been reconsidered in light of his diagnosis as having Asperger's Syndrome last year.

His lawyers say he is "eccentric" rather than malicious and that he should be tried on lesser charges in the UK to protect his mental health.

1. For people that believe in aliens as source of supernatural.
Edited on Tue Jul-28-09 06:50 PM by RandomThoughts
I think this is how people think on it.  And why most 'Alien
Myths' do not make sense to me.

Normal world Alien myth found in most conspiracies.

People   Aliens

Normal people world, completely inside of larger supernatural
world.

The reason people like to think of aliens as explanation is it
brings things back to their perception of normal world, by
Aliens just being another factor in same reality as humans. 
However all indications of experiences of the supernatural
make supernatural more of a super set of the natural easier to
think of as higher dimensional like the donut.

Things like matrix take the donut approach to existence, as do
most religions, things like Area 51 conspiracies take the two
sets thoughts on it most of the time.

In the donut view, people in the normal set can not perceive
what the supernatural is, so they can make many guesses at it
that come out in many doctrines.  The stories of higher
dimensional aliens is full of parts people make up to try and
fit the larger supernatural into their understanding based on
the natural. And in trying to understand it it becomes more
what the normal person thinks, and not an accurate image of
the supernatural.

Note that this is also why the term 0 has been used to denote
the supernatural in some films and items and why some
incorporate it into their lexicon.  In my belief the 0 naming
used in many films draws from a bad side.

5. The movie that has zero in it
Edited on Tue Jul-28-09 08:35 PM by RandomThoughts
is the original Rollerball, where corporations get their advice from a machine called zero. I think that is a bad interpretation of things, and I think that is the intent of that movie, making it a possible good interpretation of that bad interpretation. Which is funny, and shows how interpretations can inspire thought, but they still require thought.

But it is just my thoughts on it.
