You can help this poor, deluded soul. Or you can turn the page.
I think email to "cdp!nec@sgi.com" will reach him ok.
Why did he choose to post a UFO conspiracy to sci.lang.japan (the
newsgroup for Japanese linguistics)? I'm sure there's a perfectly good
explanation.
He must really need someone to trust, someone he can depend on, and
quickly. Won't you help? If we all pitch in, imagine how far he can go.

"UFO CENTRAL"
The Forbidden City
AREA# 51
Posted by: Ron Garcia(NEC)
Produced by: Audrey Lauin
Reported by: Bill McGowen, both of 'Current Affair'(10/11/90)@8:00p.m.
Just afew miles from Las Vegas, Nevada there lies a "TOP SECRET"
instalation called AREA# 51. This area is run by the U.S. Dept. of
Energy. Jaime Shandera (investigator/editor) calls the TOP SECRET
area within AREA# 51 "DREAMLAND". A ring of mountains surrounded by
another ring of mountains.
An Electro Physicist named: Bob Lazar known for his work with Los
Alamos Meson Physics facility along with his work at NASA has come
forward with information on the Navy's (9) captured/acquired alien
spacecraft/disks/ UFOs.
He was hired/assigned to investigate/analyze one of these captured
UFOs. He states: "these things were not built by human hands, as the
tech- nology is FAR beyond anything we have presently! Just the
reactor & power source alone produce an amazing amount of power!!! It
was very OBVIOUS what was in the hanger!, a typical flying saucer! The
fuel that the reactor uses is a SUPER HEAVY element!, something on the
lines of approx.#115 on the periotic charts! It's a material which
cannot be synthesized here on earth, nevertheless be found in nature!
It does not exist!!!
Ten years ago, this AREA# 51 was the secret developmental area for the
stealth fighters and bombers, along with countless underground nuclear
testing, which STILL goes on! Many researchers say that if the
military wanted to hide a secret testing/analizing of captured alien
spacecrafts/disks; that this AREA# 51 would be the place to do just
that!!!
Mr. Bob Lazar (distraught over the criminal activities of the Navy),
brought friends to the perimeter to photograph the FIRST FLIGHT
TESTING of said disk by our own military! They filmed it making
numerous streaks across the skies over and around Rachiel Nv.
Unfortunately, he and his friends were found out............. Since
then, Mr. Lazar has become a modern man without a country! His birth
certificate, records of government jobs, coworkers, everything
vanished, without a trace!!! The man does not exist! "As if I was
never born....he says..........."
Doesn't this PISS you off to realize that our own military is
withholding evidence of life on other worlds from the general
public??????????!!!!!!! Well it should!!!!!!
They have contained dead alien life (on ice) and the hardware thereof
for some 35-45 years now. Don't you think that it is time to stop the
cheap lies and release OUR natural history findings to us
immediately!!!!!!!!!!!!
Something should be done to force these CRIMINALS within the AF, Navy,
and/or other military sanctions i.e. CIA, FBI to release these
glorious things/discoveries that belongs to the AMERICAN people; NOT
THE GOD DAMBED NAVY AND/OR DEPT> OF ENERGY!!!!!!!!
PLEASE GET MAD AS HELL LIKE I AM AND LETS WRITE LETTERS!!! And don't
believe me; check it out for yourself!
You can contact Current Affair and obtain a transcript of this
particular aired program for a minimal cost. I taped it on my VCR,
but I cannot send hundreds of copies to everyone.
Lets get out there and do something about this criminal government of
ours; who knows how much else they are witholding from us all!!!

For what it's worth I was raised as an orthodox jew, by cabalists (I'm
all better now, thank you.)
Other than the last sentence, which of course is a question and
speculative, thant's summary is one of the most accurate I have ever
seen of the origins of those various terms.
I would add that it's usually printed yod-yod with the vowel marks
eee-eh so roughly "yee-yeh" but it's never, ever pronounced (not
because it's profane or anything, but because it would be silly, like
pronouncing an abbreviation literally in english, ell-buhs for pounds
(lbs) or some such thing.) As he said, one says adonai (typical
transliteration but the pronounciation is usually more like ahden-oy.)
I don't know of any specific circumstances the tetragrammaton is
pronounced, but it's plausible.
The real conclusion there is that "Jehovah", "Yahweh" etc are
basically misconceptions as he pointed out.
I have no idea if there's any relationship between "god" and "yod".
