Subject: Urgent! Yahoo! Search Index Censors Cydonia research!
To: list@cydonia.org

Since August 6, 1996 some new and startling information 
has come to my attention.  Apparently, Yahoo! has deliberately
changed the category of all of the websites contained within
the category,

Science: Astronomy:Planets: Mars:Cydonia Region

If anyone tries to access or search the category

Science:Astronomy:Planets:Mars 
http://www.yahoo.com/Science/Astronomy/Planets/Mars/

for Cydonia Mensae etc...you will get the following message,

"This search has been restricted to the category Entertainment:
Paranormal Phenomena:UFO Information:Cydonia Region on Mars. For 
more matches try an unrestricted search across all categories."

Without notice and without regard to the actual content 
presented in any of the web sites in the Science category, 
Yahoo! has changed the category of all the sites listed under

Science: Astronomy:Planets: Mars:Cydonia Region

to that of

Entertainment:Paranormal Phenomena:UFO Information:Cydonia Region on Mars.

http://www.yahoo.com/Entertainment/Paranormal_Phenomena/UFO_Information/Cydonia_Region_on_Mars/

The sites presented in this category also include the mirror 
of Malin's MOC site at LANL!!

IMO, this is a clear case of censorship.  But, there are
other factors to consider as well.

As I write this message to you, CNN reports that 
the Clinton Administration has abandoned the manned 
mission to Mars in favor of an unmanned robtic mission 
instead, early in the next decade.

So far, there has been absolutely ZERO press coverage
of this announcement.  In fact, I have yet to see
a news wire covering this story.

Here is a list of sites affected by Yahoo's silent change:

A.  The Malin MOC camera page at LANL,
    http://bang.lanl.gov/solarsys/facedisc.htm

    [Observations of the "Face on Mars" and
    similar features by the Mars Global
    Surveyor Orbiter Camera, Michael C. Malin, 
    Principal Investigator, Mars Global Surveyor 
    Orbiter Camera]

B.  The McDaniel Report Newsletter
    http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/mcdrpt/

C.  The Cydonia Zone Link and Research page
    http://www.cydonia.org/zone.html

D.  The Cydonia Files - Joe Schembrie
    http://home.navisoft.com/cydonia/cydonia.htm

E.  Cydonia -John Joseph Merceicia/Hoagland
    http://www.ufonews.com/cydonia.htm

F.  The Mars Face and The Tower of Babel
    http://members.gnn.com/JCCunn/mars.htm

D.  NASA Secrets
    http://wpmc1.wpafb.af.mil/hideout/neo/neo8.htm

Pedro Rosa's site, 

   Mars - Battlefield Cydonia
   http://www.ksu.ru/~prosa/cydonia/cydonia.html

has disappeared altogether from the Yahoo!
index.  

As many of you know Yahoo! is pretty much run
out of Stanford, and Stanford's Mars program
is quite prestigious.

If any of you have any suggestions as to a 
course of action that can be taken or can point
out anything that I've missed, please e-mail me 
at this address:

             censorship@cydonia.org

Thanks for your help in this matter.  Once
again, feel free to e-mail me with your
comments.

Josh
