X, is a Japanese cult that combines tenets from Buddhism, Hinduism, and is obsessed with the apocalypse.
At the center of the group's belief is reverence for Shoko Asahara, the founder, who says that he is the first
"enlightened one" since Buddha. The group made headlines around the world in 1995 when members
carried out a chemical attack on the Tokyo subway system. A nerve agent, sarin, was released onto train
cars, killing twelve and causing an estimated six thousand people to seek medical attention. X is listed as a
terrorist organization because of the 1995 attack and for previous attempts to carry out biological and
chemical attacks. It produced a terrifying arsenal of biochemical weapons, including advanced nerve agents
such as VX and killer diseases such as anthrax and Q-fever. X exploited the spiritual vacuum left by Japan's
economic boom years by offering what seemed like an alternative to Japan's straitjacket society. The head of
the cult, a charismatic father figure claimed his devotees could read minds and levitate, and thousands of
alienated young Japanese, raised on comic-book superheroes, believed him. Followers were starved, doped
with LSD and forced to undergo bizarre initiations. The cult's enemies were murdered and incinerated in
purpose-built microwave ovens. The madness culminated in a rush-hour assault on Tokyo's subway, an
attempt to halt a police investigation into the cult. At its peak, X boasted 10,000 Japanese members and
another 30,000 in Russia.

Nowhere in the Bible is any sorcerer or magician
portrayed in a positive light. All are condemned by God.
Scripture says that God hates all magic, whether it is the
right-hand path, or the left-hand path. Why? Because it
doesn’t come from God. Satan deceives people by
making them think ____________ is beneficial. He can
do this because he pretends to be an angel of light (2
Corinthians 11:14), but his desire is to ensnare the souls
of as many as he can. The Bible warns against him and
his evil tricks. “Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy
the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for
someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:8).

Scientology used to be run from a boat.
In the 1960s a ship called The Apollo sailed the
Mediterranean and later the Caribbean and that’s where all
the religion’s followers hung out. L. Ron Hubbard was
“commodore” and his followers, known as the X, served as
a private navy. His most trusted aides were teenage girls
who wore a uniform of hot pants and platform shoes. There
was also a special Scientology band called the “Apollo All-
Stars.”
Members of the X, which was founded out of those people
who used to work with Hubbard on the Scientology boat,
would sign a billion-year contract dedicating their life to
Scientology and were paid about $50 a week. Critics believe
that the X is one of the most abusive groups in the world.

This film which is usually thanked and/or blamed for the trend of ____. Released in
October 1999, it wasn’t the first ______movie – that honour is accorded to 1980’s
Cannibal Holocaust.
The audition process for the film was an unusual one too.
Actress Heather Donahue remembers reading an ad in Backstage that said: “A
feature film, shot in wooded location: it is going to be hell and most of you reading
this probably shouldn't come."
In order to test the improvisational skills of the candidates, as soon as each potential
actor entered the room to audition, he or she was immediately told by one of the
directors: "You've been in jail for the last nine years. We're the parole board. Why
should we let you go?" If the actor hesitated for even a moment, the directors
concluded the audition.

The X Code was the supposed secret message between X and his wife that would be used to contact her in the
afterlife, which he didn't think was possible. Despite his scepticism, X and his wife devised a secret message that was to
be used to test the validity of any so-called spirit message coming from either of them, should one or the other pass.
“Rosabelle* Answer * Tell * Pray Answer * Look * Tell * Answer Answer * Tell”
1 Pray
2 Answer
3 Say
4 Now
5 Tell
6 Please
7 Speak
8 Quickly
9 Look
The second word in our code was ANSWER. B is the second letter in the alphabet so ANSWER stands for B. The fifth word in
the code is TELL, and the fifth letter of the alphabet is e. The twelfth letter in the alphabet is L and to make up twelve we
have to use the first and second words of the code.
The message also had another part, one word that was not encoded: “Rosabelle.” “Rosabelle” was the name of a short love
song that his wife sang for X in their very first show together. So the full message was: “Rosabelle, believe!”
X's message to his wife was to believe! What a creative way to affirm the continuation of consciousness after death!

The National Security Agency once banned this electronic toy from its premises because it feared that they would
listen in on classified conversations.
In 1999, after the toy had gained massive popularity the NSA issued a memo banning them from its
offices in Fort Meade. Because the commercials advertised them as "learning" English over time, the
folks in charge believed that they contained an internal recording device, and they feared the toys would
spill secrets in their cutesy voices. According to a 1999 BBC News article, anyone who came across this
toy on NSA premises was instructed to "contact their Staff Security Office for guidance.“
However, the NSA's intelligence on this matter was a bit off. The toy came pre-programmed with words in
English and its special language and couldn't actually record or playback anything. Tiger Electronics
president Roger Shiffman ended up issuing a statement assuring the intelligence agency that “X is not a
spy!“

the Manson Family, a quasi-commune that arose in the California desert in the
late 1960s. He was good at manipulating people. He took pieces from
various religions to form his own philosophy. When the Beatles released
their White Album in 1968, Manson believed their song “______" predicted
an upcoming race war.

Death Valley.
However, when the Armageddon that Manson had predicted did not occur,
he said he and his followers must show the blacks how to do it.

_________ is an early work critiquing popular cultural forms that has been labelled by some
as communist propaganda written by Ariel Dorfman and Armand Mattelart. It discusses the
impact of comic books featuring the Walt Disney cartoon characters. The book was written
and published in 1971 in Chile under socialist president Salvador Allende.
Dorfman and Mattelart argue that the comics, particularly those featuring this
character____, take on an ideological cast that reflects and naturalises American corporate
exploitation of Latin American countries. While Dorfman and Mattelart argue in the original
text that this is corporate ideology of the Disney Corporation is made manifest in the comic
books,David Kunzle's introduction to the 1991 English edition suggests that in the years
since the book's initial publication, Dorfman had "taken a more generous view of the
comics he excoriated, at least those by Carl Barks (main writer and artist of the comics),
whom he too recognizes as an unrivaled satirist."

_________planned a break-in at the Societe Generale Bank, Nice. Since the bank vault was
located in the basement, the break-in would best be achieved by digging underneath from a
nearby sewer system. He opened a box for himself and placed a loud alarm clock inside, setting
it to go off at midnight in order to check for the existence any acoustic or seismic detectors that
might foil his plan. In fact, the bank vault had no interior alarm or security systems, as it was
considered utterly impenetrable.
After two months of digging with the help of a group of professional gangsters, the tunnel was
finished, and, during a Bastille Day festival when the bank was closed for a long weekend, the
gang broke into the vault. They opened up over 400 safety deposit boxes, stealing over 60million
francs worth of money, securities and other valuables.
When the robbery was discovered, the following message was found on the vault wall: “sans
armes, ni maine, ni violence” which is translated as: “without weapons, nor hatred, nor
violence”.
With the help of a tip off ,_______________ was caught. During his trial, however,
__________distracted the judge, by handing him a fake piece of encoded evidence. He jumped
out of the window, where a motorcycle was waiting for him and made his getaway.
He was never caught and the loot from the heist was never found.

3 warnings:
Bill Hickman cautioned Dean against driving too fast. Dean simply sped away. Police officer issued
him a speeding ticket. Dean simply sped away.

result of reckless driving and arranged to have the Spyder wreck transported to several high
schools. However, as the Spyder was loaded onto a truck, it rolled off the back, crushing the
driver to death.
oFurther accidents involving the car have continued to fuel speculation about supernatural forces

In 1587, Governor White attempted to establish a colony in the Roanoke
Islands. The colonists befriended some of the natives-Croatans, while other
natives-Secoatans- remained aloof. Shortly thereafter, colonist George Howe
was killed by the natives while he was alone. Fearing for their lives the rest of
the colonists urged White to return to England and bring help. White left
behind 115 colonists including his daughter and grand-daughter.
On returning (3 years later) : His men could not find any trace of the 90 men,
17 women, and 11 children he had left behind, nor was there any sign of a
struggle or battle. The cabins had been taken down, the livestock had
vanished. What was left behind was one word-X-carved into the tree. To this
day, there has been no conclusive evidence as to what happened to the
colonists. Thus the Roanoke colony earned the name-____________

On the night of 31 October 1992, Schneeberger sedated his 23-year-old patient,
Candice, and raped her. Candice was ,however, able to remember the rape. She
reported the crime to the police.
Schneeberger's blood sample was, however, found not to match the samples of the
alleged rapist's semen , thus clearing him of suspicion. In 1993, at the victim's request,
the test was repeated, but the result was negative again. In 1994, the case was closed.
Candice then hired a private detective to investigate the case. He broke into
Schneeberger's car and obtained another DNA sample, which, this time, matched the
semen on the victim's pants. A third official test was organized. The obtained blood
sample was, however, found to be too small and of too poor quality to be useful for
analysis.
In 1997, Lisa Schneeberger found out that her husband had repeatedly drugged and
raped her 15-year-old daughter from her first marriage. She reported him to the
police, which ordered a fourth DNA test. This time, multiple samples were
taken: blood, mouth swab, and hair follicle. All three matched the rapist's semen.

The concept of the design is to allow all inmates of an institution to be
observed by a single watchman without the inmates being able to tell
whether or not they are being watched. Although it is physically
impossible for the single watchman to observe all cells at once, the fact
that the inmates cannot know when they are being watched means
that all inmates must act as though they are watched at all times,
effectively controlling their own behaviour constantly.
