A good read on Uganda's tragic continuing nodding disease affliction
It’s hurting Ugandan kids.. The cause debated..
A good read on Uganda's tragic continuing nodding disease affliction

Truly cannot believe how fast time is going.
I am an Art Bell fan. There are nights I can’t stand current Noory Coast to Coast AM. Maybe he means well but the night lacks the magic it once did. Being the Bell fan I am, I listen often to U7 radio and FineArtStream.com radio… often they play blasts from the pasts of aliens in the freezer and Area 51 conspiracy… from those old days of 1999. 2000. 2001. 2002. All time gone by..
Today in particular I listened to a show during my morning commute from 1999 about reincarnation. It was typical Art Bell. But 1999!? March of 1999 to be exact. I was 18 and not even done high school yet, that would come in June of that year. So I wondered what exactly I was doing that night.. where I was… how I felt. How the years have gone by.. how remarkable they have been, but how incredibly fast they are, as well.
On the same front, my niece turned 21 this past weekend… Wow. That is big. Considering that I remember, not vaguely but fondly, playing with her when she was born. I was just a kid, full of energy, crawling around. Now with my own son there are some nights my legs cramp up and my back kills me. I am only 31 but often wonder … if this is how 31 feels I dread 40. And 50.
And before I know it I will be 40, 50, and 60. Maybe by then FineGeorgeStream.com will exist..? Maybe by then we will all be programmed robots. Nanotechnology will take over and eliminate human emotion from life. Leaving just a stagnant and lifeless corpse, filled with blood and a brain that remembers nothing? There will be drones littering the sky.. there will be flying cars (maybe not).. However maybe we can all agree: Pay phones will be gone.
Yes, indeed. How fast time flies truly freaks me out. I often wonder where it goes? Stephen King may have an idea. Maybe the Langoliers actually do eat the time that is gone.. Old time a flyin? The same flower … tomorrow.. dyin’…..
Yes, indeed.
Since old time is still a flyin’ perhaps it’s best to resist the dyin’ that eventually will occur. Unless we do reincarnate like the person who was a guest on Art Bell in 1998 believed. Reincarnation over and over again. Living through old time over and over again. Time that flies by regardless of what life we live…

Yes indeed.. This could be the end.

Lots of folks apparently are in to old women showing off some saggy nipples. Really. I had a jump in hits today on CoalSpeaker.com because yesterday I put some news on here about Sagonna and her flashing areola.
So why not post a photo of her bare nipple?
There are two reasons, besides me not wanting to.
- You can find it yourself. Google it, and turn off moderate safe search. You’ll see it. All red and puffy.
- I really could care less.
Sure, I am posting another story about it on here, along with posting a photo of post-nip-slip Madonna on stage. Coyly looking at her audience.. “What did I do? I am just the material girl.” Material Momma Madonna can shock a crowd. But as I pointed out yesterday Lady Gaga suffered a concussion and still performed JUDAS. Though there just seems to be some veiled religious message about being whacked in the head during a song about the man accused of turning in the Christ.. right?
Nonetheless, Madonna slipped her nipple. But the world still rotates. All is right with the world—as right as it could be. Ford is in his flivver. Really, is it that big of a deal?
British media often labels America as prudish. I think maybe they are right. A nipple in itself isn’t overly fascinating once you truly study it. The FCC may fine people for flashing it, ala Janet Jackson, but really what is the big deal about one? Most of us have two. Some even have three. Those with three aren’t sexy. Those with two, as long as they are women, are heralded when they show one. Men who should wear bras that have nipples are lampooned.
So for the medical record. This is a nipple:
And THIS is a nipple on a foot:
Any questions?
Bet you won’t search for Madonna’s nipple now!
All the news unfit to print.. And then some
It’s been a trying day for earth, don’t you think? But what day isn’t really. Here is a collection of events, random, sporadic.. scary.. Entertainment. But it’s reality. So don’t get too happy.
Sandusky trial begins.. hears victim tesitfy about abuse.. That’s right. Grin and bear it, it’s going to be a long trial. But the defense will hammer on this: Gap between abuse and charges could be an issue.. And already today Sandusky was labeled a predator..
Fire and water.. : Colorado and New Mexico wildfire expands.. Evacuations currently taking place..
Fire’s reach quickly exploding..
But……
Torrential rains along the Gulf Coast.. more coming..
Water logged Gulf..

Freaked out yet?
There is more.

The old days are gone.. a stroll down amnesia lane: The internet that once was
Had a family discussion tonight about the amazing web history… My sister reminded me of the mid 90s when I slept her over house and my brother-in-law connected us to the net, via the dial up phone line, for the first time. It was like stepping into uncharted territory.. dialing up to watch a website load, it taking three minutes.. and you being a part of the information superhighway.
Those glorious days of ugly GIFs and badly designed websites.. those days of 60+ search engines instead of Google dominating.. those days of “Chat lines” that adults said to stay away from (Chat1.com was my favorite).. Yes, indeed, the wild west of the web was at your fingertips, you just had to stick around for a while to let the web load.
Things then weren’t really “live.” But if you searched enough you were able to find some cutting edge sites. Artbell.com, drudgereport.com, and some others were on the fringe. They charted territory for the future. And Geocities and Angelfire in reality could be considered the first blogs. People on them told a personal story.. the 20th century unplugged was on free sites with really long web links. Now it’s blogger and Tumblr and… well, you know the rest.
And why do I bring this up? Well, because first off I can and secondly because it shows how far we have come. From the days when you can be anonymous online to the current world where everyone knows your name, along with A/S/L and what you are currently eating, or drinking, or thinking.
The mid 90s in my opinion was the greatest time for the web. It was exciting and fresh.. it was amazing and new. And now it’s stale and everyone, governments and corporations combined, just want to control it.
Remember when it was fun to dial up and be connected? And wen you met someone in a chat room you did not trust, you just quick reached around and unplugged the phone line from the wall. Those were the days. Safety first, submission of personal data second. How things have changed..
I remember a computer was my Christmas gift in the later 90s.. I remember I had no clue what I was doing. I just hooked up and, well, suddenly the world was at my fingertips. I even remember when I figured out how to design a website (And if you know anything about me you know that HorroReport.com is my other site and it has maintained the same design since 2001, for better or worse.)
And now here we are.. the net is everywhere, you are connected no matter where you go. I think I liked the dial up disconnect. The ability to stop the net for a while and just hang up on the worldwide web of superinformation on a superhighway.
Those days are gone. Here are the days of Facebook.. constantly being connected.. and in a way constantly being disconnected. People went from visiting online to living online. Tumbling through things to Tumblering through things. From posting photos occasionally to lifestreaming, livevideo, and live everything.
The wild days of the net are gone. The predictable days of the net are here.
Bring back the 90s, when everything was fresh and new.
But it can’t be that way.
No matter how many moving GIFs you put on your site..
Tonight in the world of music: Concussions and nipples
Lady Gaga suffers concussion during JUDAS in New Zealand.. Dancer hit her in the head with a pole .. And even more news from the strange world of female artists: Lady Gaga may have been hit during a concert but Madonna hit her audience with a shocking little red blotch: She flashed her nipple in Istanbul.. So Lady Gaga hit in New Zealand.. Madonna’s bare breast in Istanbul. More proof that nothing exciting in the world of music happens in the United States anymore..
Some weird nuke stuff, don't you think?

I don’t know how this will end but I sure see how it’s going
Anything is possible.. even the Celtics winning against the Heat..
Up early today
Awake since 4am. Not because of my son, he is still sleeping.. I’m just sleepless. And I think I have been to every single website and there’s just nothing left to look at.

Across the country no fewer than 3.2 million seniors are graduating about now from more than 37,000 high schools. That’s 37,000 valedictorians … 37,000 class presidents … 92,000 harmonizing altos … 340,000 swaggering jocks … 2,185,967 pairs of Uggs. Even if you’re one in a million, on a planet of 6.8 billion that means there are nearly 7,000 people just like you. You’ve been pampered, cosseted, doted upon, helmeted, bubble wrapped … feted and fawned over and called sweetie pie. You see, if everyone is special, then no one is. If everyone gets a trophy, trophies become meaningless. … We have of late, we Americans, to our detriment, come to love accolades more than genuine achievement. The fulfilling life, the distinctive life, the relevant life is an achievement. to do whatever you do for no reason other than you love it and believe in its importance. The sweetest joys of life, then, come only with the recognition that you’re not special. Because everyone is.
David McCullough Jr, a Boston-area high school teacher, addressing a crowd of graduating seniors this week in a “you’re not special” themed graduation speech
Ahh.. oh. ok then.
We know this: President Obama had a private meeting with 25 young Hollywood stars and starlets.
And we know this: President Obama says the private sector is doing just fine.
So apparently he is having acting lessons..?
The mystery of the Vatican bank
I’ll admit it, I know there is a scandal about the Vatican bank, allegations of money laundering.. and God knows what else (God should know since this is his bank, right?) But while I know there is a currently evolving and developing scandal, I really can’t explain it to you or even to myself. But I know this, it’s creepy to think that a church has its own country, library of hidden books that may unearth many mysteries of our planet, its own bank, and its own jail cell which now houses the Pope’s butler. It’s just all too weird and creepy.
I think the linked Reuters report says it best when it opens the story with this:
For a financial institution whose ATMs offer Latin as a language option, whose offices are below the pope’s windows and where tellers work under the gaze of crucifixes, one might assume the Vatican bank would have a dispensation from earthly travails
The mystery of the Vatican bank
A hurricane nearly hit New York City last year, but new analysis shows what would happen if one hit head on
And you know it will happen one day. It almost seems like it’s overdue for a large one, don’t you think?
The LA TIMES reports on what would occur. (easy for them to say, they just have earthquakes and wildfires to deal with, someone else’s misery is their favorite kind.. I kid Rene Lynch, I kid)
But in all seriously, the LA TIMES reports that New York City is at risk for a major strike from an Atlantic storm, and it could cost $168 billion with a b if it happened.
Indeed, that will not be the weekend to be in the big apple.
A big FYI from the land of childhood
Little CoalSpeaker Ayden Morris got his cast off today. It went well. It didn’t seem he was scared by the saw—mom and dad explained that it was just a louder blender, and he knows blenders make him milkshakes.
It has been a trying month for the little man.
A fractured tibia.. a first day of day care—one fresh with a bite from another child—and now the cast coming off.
I think maybe all of this is more trying for the parents than the child. His fresh 15 1/2 month old memory may not hold.. My 31 year old mind and mom’s 32 year old brain will recall the month’s activities with squeamish and skittish faces.
Now back to normal for Ayden. He refuses to eat his breakfast and just wants to play with legos. It’s interesting, this childhood stuff.. interesting.
This may be ignored by mainstream media, but it is one of the most important stories currently happening: Suicides are surging among United States troops
Here are the facts:
The upswing of suicides has caught some by surprise because of 2010 and 2011 numbers leveling off..
Robert Burns of the AP writes this:
Suicides are surging among America’s troops, averaging nearly one a day this year - the fastest pace in the nation’s decade of war.
The 154 suicides for active-duty troops in the first 155 days of the year far outdistance the U.S. forces killed in action in Afghanistan - about 50 percent more - according to Pentagon statistics obtained by The Associated Press
The AP dispatch can’t play up these numbers enough: Almost 1 for every day ..
We are seeing something unique in our current wars and soon to be post wars (and maybe soon to be new wars).. Battle grounds new and different. People don’t die in big numbers last in past wars… now injuries are soaring along with mental issues and PTSD among troops.
Will officials address concerns of our soldiers? Will we treat war vets with the care they need?
Current suicide numbers are dismaying .. and distressing for all of those who hope we honor our soldiers as they should be honored..
This may be ignored by mainstream media, but it is one of the most important stories currently happening: Suicides are surging among United States troops
And it's not just freaky weather occurrences like the high school hail storm that are weird, it's also the amount of warmth that has overtaken the United States over the past several months
Warmth that has broken records and caused there to be a year without a winter early in ‘12.. It’s extremely rare according to the weather experts among .. 2012 had the warmest spring on record.
Yes, it is getting warmer. it’s not just your imagination. Record books prove it.
So now what..
Here is an image of the ‘high school hail storm’ that occurred in Jersey.. And the story from Accuweather
What is the truth on Fukushima
A good comment response to my post last night on radiation from Fukushima spreading around the world, to which I responded. Hope to see more comments on this. I think it’s an important issue. What is debatable at this point may be how much of a danger the world is in from Fukushima effects. But what is not debatable is how important the issue is; whether we have a future of fish we can’t eat and cancer or a future of nuclear power becoming more dangerous despite people’s current opinion, it’s an important issue. So join in the discussion..
Truth is the middle of two extremes. But how extreme is the most extreme of Fukushima..?

RAY BRADBURY DEAD
This is a pretty big deal. A famous author.. Science fiction may have been his thing. But as we see, fiction is often less strange than truth. And today’s scientific society is more like a science fiction novel than any other. RIP Bradbury.. Will truly be talent missed on earth..

Some other news of importance of the day
No news is good news. But sadly there is news.
Welcome to the new world order—if you have a chance to enter the world.. Babies could be tested soon for up to 3,500 ‘genetic faults’ .. Fears that these routine tests could lead to more abortions
Sandusky reportedly wrote ‘creepy love letters’ to victim..
Clive Barker to write new zombie flick..
History unearthed: Now found is the report of the first doctor to reach Abraham Lincoln after he was shot.. the doctor rushed to his ceremonial box and found him paralyzed, comatose and leaning against his wife. Dr. Charles Leale ordered brandy and water to be brought immediately..
A privately financed Dutch company has a plan: They want to create a colony on Mars by 2023.. it will be a one way ticket if you decide to venture out into the great unknown of space..
Wedding day hell: A bridge was drenched with oily black ooze from hotel sprinklers as she was prepping for her big day..
Did Magnotta do it? Body parts mailed to Canadian school..
How to stay young: Laugh a lot and be positive..
Mystery in the desert: Spiritual retreat or cult?
It has been 68 years now since D-Day..
Less and less news coverage occurs every year.
This year, though, the account of Bernard Friedenberg, a 90-year-old World War II medic who took part in the D-Day invasion, is haunting.
He recalls a mortally-wounded soldier gasping for air.. he recalls an ‘absolute massacre’ .. he speaks ofpatching ‘guys up right and left..
Yes indeed, the greatest generation is slowly leaving this war-torn planet called hell, otherwise known as Earth.
So how do you train a good worker to be a good worker? In China, you do it with long hours, exposure to harmful chemicals, and 'military style' training sessions..
…who built your iPhone? Ask Siri.
Hear to evil, see no evil.. speak no evil. Text no evil.
So how do you train a good worker to be a good worker? In China, you do it with long hours, exposure to harmful chemicals, and 'military style' training sessions..
So .. nothing to see here?
A must read for all who are concerned about the world and all who doubt officials who “officially” tell us that Fukushima is nothing to worry about.. these headlines tonight are entered onto the record for your consideration and thought..
A news account from CTV says that reactor 4 at Fukushima poses a major threat to the world and another says that the worst is yet to come..
Japan continues to insist that the nuclear pool is stable and the country’s leaders claim it could withstand another major quake.
Consider these facts, too: Japan is dumping about a thousand tons per day of radioactive water into the Pacific ocean, and a new report says the Pacific won’t do much to dilute the water in the great sea..
Yes indeed.
Nothing to see here..

And it won’t happen again until 2117..
What's eating you?
There are a lot of jokes and online cartoons about the ‘zombie’ attacks coming due to the recent news of cannibal attacks—attacks that involve human beings and not actors in some film..
The latest reminder that all these jokes are about real people is this news story detailing the sad life of the man who had his face eaten off by another on bath salts in Florida..
Don’t get me wrong, I love a good zombie joke now and then, but the news is creepy in 2012: A Maryland cannibal, a gay porn dismemberer, a nude bath salt cannibal, and a homeless woman trying to eat the arm off of a baby—all these events real headlines and real things.
I like to reflect on the day to day news, news that I personally feel is scarier than ever. The cannibal attacks only go to prove my point—and cause me to have even more paranoid fears..
A Vatileaks update
Pope’s butler formally questioned in leak scandal..
Up to six years in prison..
All eyes turn to Vatican judicial system
Yes, the Vatican as a judicial system. And lots more, including 6 foot concrete walls that contain a butler.
So healthy it can kill you
I knew some very healthy people in life that ended up dying very early.
People who would jog regularly may be doing more harm than good, in some circumstances.
Scientists now say that excess exercise can hurt the heart and actually cause long term health damage.
Some non political non Walker news
Sheryl Crow diagnosed with brain tumor..
Crow not worried..
How serious?
History all wrong!? New research points to a new origin of human: Not Africa, but instead Asia..

Even though the Pope’s butler languishes in a deep cell in the Vatican, more secret documents were leaked this weekend..
So why exactly is Gabriele in that cell anyway?
And how long before ‘Peter the Roman’ fulfills St Malachi’s prophecy of the popes. Mutiny along the cardinals! And a church collapsing from within?
I'm afraid to post this..
But the Celtics are on fire. Hope it continues.
And now that a Celtics fan spoke of how good they are doing.. they may crash and burn
To my surprise, the UK GUARDIAN gives a somewhat glowing profile of Alex Jones..
He led the protests in Virginia this weekend against the ‘new world order’ at Bilderberg—and because of Infowars’ Jones more and more news outlets are covering Bilderberg every year.
Like him, love him, hate him.. you can’t ignore him.
And, as my headline says, to my surprise, the GUARDIAN doesn’t seem to hate him at all..
Jones quickly took control of the situation, using his unmistakable voice– amplified by a megaphone – to launch into a full-throated denunciation of the global elite, the erosion of rights and liberty, and the establishment of federal “reeducation camps”.
"The best bullhorner there is," one protester said of Jones’s oratory skills. When Jones began describing how he likes to use multiple megaphones end to end, a demonstrator called him "the people’s L-Rad", a reference to a sonic weapon police departments sometimes use against protesters.
No doubt, more heckles from the mainstream media will erupt as the leaders of the elite leave Chantilly.
But no matter what the MSM says.. Alex Jones supporters are loud—and seemingly growing in numbers every year.
The parental moment of dread
Ayden’s Aunt Erin, niece Kate, his Grammy and his Pop have been watching him for the past 15 months during mom and dad’s daytime working hours. It all ends tomorrow when the little man will begin his first day of… daycare.
I dread it in a normal way. Typically I am overly worried about everything.. but the place seems wonderful and Ayden seems ready to meet and play with others of his own intellect. So .. here we go.
He will, as all kids do, cry as we say bye. And he will be happy when we arrive to get him.. and that may happen for a while. Then he will defy us learning what other kids around him say.. and he will argue. And grow up. And be a kid. And a teen .. oh my God I am getting ahead of myself.
If Coalspeaker.com exists on this Tumblr platform 18 years from now when Ayden graduates, or 19 depending on whether he flunks some future algebra class, I will feel old. Here I am, at the ….semi young age of 31 and dreading daycare for my son. My wife agrees with my worry. We have both made it a chore but a duty to not talk about our feelings on this one.. just go with the flow.
As the flow goes.. so does time.
Ayden Morris…. 15 months into life…. about to begin a new little tiny itsy bitsy little child chapter…
My bet is he has some type of runny nose or full blown flu from another child by mid June. Something else for a parent to worry about.

So this is how it will end?
Milky Way Galaxy Doomed to Head-On Crash with Andromeda
Luckily it will happen 4 billion years from now……….

It is feeling like 2008 all over again
I am about to turn 32.. but I was about to turn 29 in 2008. So that’s good. But what is bad was ….well, an economic collapse. Today a bad jobs report was released, the market crashed, and more dire warning crept into headlines from around the world. Yes, indeed, it’s beginning to feel like and economic collapse is upon us again..
It is feeling like 2008 all over again

While the Miami cannibal munched... bikes drove by
This is the state of our nation, 2012: Surely by now you have heard of the Miami Muncher, the man who was turned into a cannibal and killed after taking bath salts and mauling another man’s face. .Here’s the latest and not so greatest:
New surveillance video shows that bikes were riding past the scene of the crime .. while the face attack was taking place..
Here we go again! Strange booms rock Michigan
The earth is moaning and groaning.. and booming loud, as well.. The latest in Michigan, where loud booms have caused ‘violent’ shaking.. no official word of what it may be, but lots of officials on what it is not. And what it is not: Anything likely to cause loud booms. The mystery begins.. Maybe booming soon in a town near you..
MICHIGAN: LOUD BOOMS AND ‘VIOLENT’ SHAKING
The booms in Michigan: not from earthquakes or jets..
Occultist: Violent shaking in Michigan.. no storms, no quakes.. no traffic.. hat tip to you for informing me first of this one..
My inspirational message of the day (you can sure tell I think more like a dad anymore)
This picture used to hang on the wall of my bedroom when I was a child.. I would stare at is as I fell asleep. Life is short. Honor your parents, love your family, cherish your spouse, adore you children.. and be proud when you look in the mirror. Time is fleeting..
Whoops: Obama causes some outrage with reference to "Polish death camp" -- it was actually a Nazi death camp in Poland
But it just must be a day of apologies, because here come some more:
Chris Hayes from MSNBC
Barney Frank
A PA monsignor
Rutgers student
And Lady Gaga
All for different reasons. But it’s a pity party of a Wednesday for all, isn’t it.
Whoops: Obama causes some outrage with reference to "Polish death camp" -- it was actually a Nazi death camp in Poland
Did a bit of thinking on Obama's kill list and the new story today on how 'civilian' has been redefined
There are big questions that come with these two stories, one from the NEW YORK TIMES and the other from an upcoming book KILL OR CAPTURE.
Drones. Warfare. Security. All big issues. But how we deal with those issues? That may be the bigger issue.
How we handle these big issues will tell a lot of us: It is how we, as a people, now fight our wars and define our enemies. It showcases what we are able to ‘live with’ in order to get the bad guy of the day. It also has implications on the homefront. If you haven’t noticed recently, news organizations en masse have finally been reporting on how drones are going to be used by police in the skies above you, and me, and all of us, here in the United States.
If the term of civilian could be broadened by a chief executive, could civilian also eventually be broadened by a police chief? By an FBI head.. by a CIA diretor…?
The drones will be watching. Cameras on and glaring down below.. if you have a fence that protects you from your neighbor because you like to sunbath nude, the drone will enjoy the view.
The future of the drones may be that they are armed. And if they are armed they can strike just as they do in Pakistan and Afghanistan. And if a few civilians die to get a target… will a future generation care?
Moral questions…
The type that no one is comfortable asking.
The ever evolving drone wars: How Obama changed the definition of 'civilian'

This is your brown on bath salts.
The disturbing story of the cannibal attack, the Miami muncher, or whatever else you want to label it as, only gets weirder.
We know now that police say bath salts may be to blame—bath salts are banned here in the Keystone State of Pennsylvania, and not a day goes by in my area or on my local news without a story of someone going insane on bath salts.
But the notion of a nude man eating another nude man’s face right off this this story a little more a creepy vibe..
Tales of abnormal behavior.. super human strength. People becoming filled with rage.. jumping on top of buildings .. all sad stories about a frightening drug. And seemingly more and more common.

A must read from the New York TIMES on Obama's kill list
President Richard Nixon was heavily criticized in media and pop culture in the 1970s when news broke that he had a secret enemy’s list. Who was on it? Journalists.. religious leaders.. maybe sometimes even his own staff and people within his own Administration.
Fast forward to the challenging post-9/11 world: President Obama scrapped the enemy’s list and replaced it with a secret “kill list.”
There is a fascinating glimpse from the TIMES on President Obama and how evolution: From the chatter of anti-Patriot Act and anti-war in the Senate, to a hawk in office, a killer of Osama Bin Laden, and the man who approves lethal action and doesn’t look back. The money quote:
In interviews with The New York Times, three dozen of his current and former advisers described Mr. Obama’s evolution since taking on the role, without precedent in presidential history, of personally overseeing the shadow war with Al Qaeda.They describe a paradoxical leader who shunned the legislative deal-making required to close the detention facility at Guantánamo Bay in Cuba, but approves lethal action without hand-wringing. While he was adamant about narrowing the fight and improving relations with the Muslim world, he has followed the metastasizing enemy into new and dangerous lands. When he applies his lawyering skills to counterterrorism, it is usually to enable, not constrain, his ferocious campaign against Al Qaeda — even when it comes to killing an American cleric in Yemen, a decision that Mr. Obama told colleagues was “an easy one.”
And as Alex Jones’ PRISON PLANET reports, the NY TIMES also mentioned that a girl, about age 17, and other Americans are on the kill list.
Sensing another irony: Those who favored Obama’s 2008 campaign for the presidency because his language put him in stark opposition to eight years of Bush also have a test of their principles and will: Will they vote to reelect a man who campaigned against most things he ended up doing on the terror and homeland security front?
Sure, the political question is fun to ask.
But the more important question may be this: What role should the United States have, should there be a kill list, and should one chief executive single handedly get to decide who goes on that list and who gets rubbed out? Those are big questions. It would be fun to hear Candidate Obama debate President Obama on those points.
Are you glowing or is your tuna just happy to see me?
Finally confirmation of what alternative media has been reporting for a year.. sadly the alternative media was right all along.
And you thought wind and fire were the strongest elements of Earth!
And you thought wind and fire were the strongest elements of Earth!
Think again.
It may simply be FISH!
According to new research (research conducted of course in August of last year, but officially we are just hearing about it this year) “low levels” of radiation from Fukushima have turned up in bluefin tuna along the California coast. Remember, these levels were higher than normal and they were in schools of swimming tuna just months after the March 2011 earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear nightmare—fish swimming fast and bringing radiation to San Diego faster than water .. faster than the debris from the tsunami.
But food for thought: Radioactive tuna (low levels!!) were swimming near California four months after the Fukushima nuclear plant went haywire.
We have been told for some time there are no worries.
No one told that to the tuna.
GOOGLE PURPOSELY STOLE PRIVATE INFORMATION FOR YEARS AND COVERED IT UP
This news comes from across the pond—but if it is happening in the UK why would it not be happening in the US of A?
The accusations are that Google deliberately harvested private data on British citizens for years. According to the report, they downloaded photographs and emails, documents, and messages. The Street View cars collected as they drove.
A private company spying. Interesting. Because if you paint the picture just a little differently, it could mean even war! Think if foreign spies for another nation were driving around America stealing your data? Imagine if, say, North Korea had cars to do it. Or maybe a Chinese car.. with the Chinese flag. Driving around and spying on you!
It would mean war. The government would condemn. The media would go headline-crazy.
But in this situation, when a private company did it, everyone is silent.
The noise of crickets in the vast wilderness of the online world.. well, that noise today is deafening. The international media is the only place to turn to find out just what exactly Google has been doing.
Just Google it.

A tale of many Syria headlines
- CNN: What can the world do about Syria?
- Alex Jones’ Infowars: Phony ‘Houla Massacre’: How Media Manipulates Public Opinion For Regime Change in Syria
- Russia blames ‘both sides’ for massacre
- Wall Street JOURNAL: Syria’s Srebrenica
- Syria plunges towards civil war after massacre
- Children shot, knifed, axed to death in Syria’s Houla massacre …
- Who did it? Some local activists and eyewitnesses say they were from the Syrian army. Others say they were members of the shabiha, the pro-Assad militia that entered Houla from the Alawite villages that ring the township. (The shabiha is predominantly Alawite, the sect of Shia Islam that Assad belongs to.)The Syrian government says the men were terrorists.
You know what it all comes down to? This world is insane.. messed up.. unbelievable in the amount of atrocities that have killed. And for what? Nothing. In the end, absolutely nothing.
Flashback: Dead American soldiers dumped into landfills like trash
We should be more aware of these types of events.. We should be fully aware of attempts to not give veterans the care they deserve.
For those who don’t make it home, the most they deserve from everywhere still here is respect, dignity, and at the very least, a salute. Not to be dumped into a landfill with trash …
