The NSA Admits It Analyzes More People's Data Than Previously Revealed
As an aside during testimony on Capitol Hill today, a National Security Agency representative rather casually indicated that the government looks at data from a universe of far, far more people than previously indicated.
A friend of a friend of a friend of a friend…heard it from a friend who heard it friend who heard it from a friend you were snooping around..

Terrible news.. tragic news.. and potentially criminal issue..
Update: 23 dead children in India simply for eating a school lunch.. This is such a horrible story.. That is their only crime in life.. eating a school lunch . And now of course the 'government will investigate'.. And I am sure find allllll the ‘answers’.. There are already some answers, at least some bits of information, being released: The food was laced with pesticides..

Troubling news..
Syrians are fleeing from war at a rate not seen since the Rwandan genocide..
That comes to us from the United Nations..
According to the UN, the number of people fleeing the conflict in Syria has escalated to an average of 6,000 a day during 2013 - a rate not seen since the genocide in Rwanda nearly two decades ago, U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres said on Tuesday… And if anyone remembers those dark days in Rwanda, go back through amnesia lane and treat yourself to some horrid history from the mid 90s..

The man with no memory: Navy vet wakes up, speaks only Swedish
Stories like this always blow my mind. Imagine this: A Navy vet goes unconscious, wakes up without a memory, and speaks Swedish. That frightening concept is exactly what happened in the case of Michael Thomas of Florida, who was found in a Motel 6 in Southern California by police.. He now believes he is Johan Elk of Sweden..
Bizarre stuff, isn’t it?
What secrets lurk in the minds of men—especially when they lose all memory and allow their brains to work without stopping..

Rolling Stone has a released a statement on its controversial ‘The Bomber’ cover.
This is America right? Now news organizations have to explain that their reporting was not meant to offend anyone?!
Ugh.
Maybe the folks who want to ban the Tsarnaev cover from their stores would be happier if the editors of the magazine sent them this one instead:
![](http://www.newsrealblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/lady-gaga-rolling-stone-cov.jpg)
I live 45 minutes from Boston and let me tell you everyone is livid. I applaud Rolling Stone for this gutsy move. It was a risk man. I think they are trying to paint the picture of before and after to show the contrast between the reportedly happy American (because he was a citizen) teen and the "monster" he became. I applaud Rolling Stone for the balls to publish this knowing people would be angry. I think the contrast and the publicity was the point. Not to glorify him as a "rock star."
Amen! Thanks for your perspective. And I agree with it..
I recall both NEWSWEEK and TIME putting nice happy photos of the Columbine killers on their respective covers back last century..
I personally consider this ROLLING STONE controversy beyond ridiculous (CVS will actually censor the magazine …) .. I also think collectively everyone needs to take a deep breath, eat some fruit or something, and realize what actually matters..
And besides, that image of Tsarnaev actually tells a story all by itself.

This is terrible news from India..
This is a terrible story from India, where school food killed 22 kids..traces of organo phosphorous have been found in the meal served to children which is poisonous.. This has caused protests and anger across Bihar, and India itself.. and now according to reports, it could have been deliberate poisoning..
WATCH: How Promiscuity Is A Form Of Self-Mutilation
For girls who grow up without fathers, it’s not unusual to act out sexually and look for validation in all the wrong places. Promiscuity is often observed as a common practice among “daddyless daughters” and is just one possible effect of not having a father figure.
The story from the HUFFINGTON POST.. interesting article. Worth time reading..

Dreadful dinner woes
I rarely blog about the mundane nature of my existence, instead focusing on the horrific ways of our planet, but this one is a tale needing to be told of my night last night.
My chicken looked great.. until I cut into it and realized I left the plastic on it. And sadly it was so beautiful.. Curry seasoned plastic-covered chicken.. Baked to perfected.
It became food for maggots moments after I cut into the first piece and ended up with a 2 inch piece of plastic in my mouth. But it was the most delicious plastic I’ve ever eaten..
Does plastic still constitute as one ingredient in my one ingredient lifestyle..? Guess not..

Enjoy the week!
The heat is on.
Summer's Worst Week of Heat NYC, DC, Philly, Boston
Plain and simple, this week may feel the worst of any week for this summer in the Northeast. The I-95 region will be a virtual sauna bath.
It’s hot.
No really hot.
No it’s hotter than that.
I always chuckle when those who ‘love the summer’ are seen quietly fanning themselves as sweat pours down their faces in the high noon heat of summer. You still like it, summer lovers? You enjoy the sweltering murderous heat? The kind that kills puppies and makes you sick? You’d really pick this over the cool breeze of fall and the snow of winter?
I guess it’s all relative.
After all, even the snow lovers come to miss the warmth by February..
Until then.. we have a HEAT WAVE!

Saturday night’s main event.
Bars and restaurants filled with patrons undoubtedly are now suddenly embroiled in Saturday night conversations about George Zimmerman, Tweeting their thoughts, and lamenting the justice system if they disagree..
There will be outrage and rage.. some will be happy that the justice system, for all purposes, seemed to work. Work in the sense where a jury finds a defendant not guilty because the prosecution substantially failed in proving the case of Zimmerman murdering Trayvon Martin in cold blood… one night in Florida months ago.
Tonight, when a jury of six women, five mothers, found Zimmerman not guilty, the justice system was exposed…It’s flawed and often wrong.. sloppy and long.. Legal briefs are abundant.. nights are late.. And the battles are more than skin deep.
When Casey Anthony was found not guilty, so many felt a world of horror for her daughter who had no justice… And now tonight, many feel the same for Trayvon Martin..
Trends are trending on Twitter tonight. Facebook is alive and well with passionate opinions.. Bloggers are opining .. in person, many are rambling.
This trial intrigued the nation.
And whenever a trial does that, it causes so much division.
Maybe it’s time, as a nation, we come to grips with the fact that we are needlessly divided by race.
When it comes down to it, what really divides us?
Are we divided by race?
The class system?
Religious differences?
money..?
Money.
It somehow goes back to money.
And money will be the issue now, as the civil litigation against George Zimmerman will begin. Most likely immediately.
OJ was found not guilty last century. But the civil lawsuits got him—even before he got himself by getting caught robbing his own trophies…
The George Zimmerman trial has played out, and now the outcome will play out..
It wasn’t 12 angry men, but instead 6 something women. Maybe if the jurors express their thoughts, we’ll find out if they were angry or happy with their decision..

Two of the great things on earth combined: Ragtime piano music and Tetris. great mashup..
Enjoy..
I am going to attempt to stay out of the ever-so-controversial weeds of the George Zimmerman case..
But I can only say this.. I am annoyed, very annoyed actually, with the amount of times both the prosecution and defense used the word ‘really’ in their closing arguments. Apparently both sides have been watching lots of old Tina Fey/Seth Meyers “really” skits from the Weekend Update bit on Saturday Night Live.
It was completely overdone.
At one point the defense lawyer, you know the one who looks like a sick cross between John Kerry and Mark Furhman of OJ fame, said “really? really? really? really? ” .. .REALLY?!
Enough!
The jury, all six strong, should have in lockstep shouted back ‘YES REALLY!’
Really.

How to kill an area; Leave it
There has been an exodus from the coal region of Pennsylvania over the past generation.. high unemployment, economic conditions worse than other areas, and traveling to better jobs, all have forced younger people away from Schuylkill County .. And now the POTTSVILLE REPUBLICAN is sharing knowledge that has already been assumed: Most people who are young want to leave Schuylkill County..
Schuylkill County commissioners had a press conference on Thursday. They say that the county has lots to offer—presumably more than Yuengling beer and the A-Hole in Girardville—but they lament the fact so many young want to leave the area. To put a number on that, survery was conducted of the ‘yout’ of the region.. it found that 55% want don’t plan on living in the county when they are adults.
Of course, kids have grand plans. There is sure something about the coal region, maybe those tentacles of coal veins, that latch on to your spirit and trap you in the area.. Kids today become coal-region bar hoppers tomorrow, still wearing their varsity football jackets, trying to relive the dream of yesteryear. Just place GLORY DAYS by the Boss, and most will tear up thinking about the Friday night lights—unless your school didn’t have lights, in which case you’ll think of Saturday Afternoon Sun (*Cardinal Brennan football players would understand that*)…
So ….what would be a model for the future?
Two possibilities exist:
1) The county will continue to perish slowly, like a miner running out of oxygen in a confined space.. It will keep its high unemployment, and is generation of disenchanted kids..
2) Many who leave the area for experience and knowledge, will actually come back to Schuylkill county at some point in their lives, and bring progress to the area. The future will feature people, people who don’t sport mullets and cutoff jean shorts, creating jobs and hope ..
Which possibility is more likely?
A stroll down any street, Schuylkill County, will show how difficult number 2 would be to achieve.

Hopefully my crazy talk tonight on 432 hz didn’t drive you away..
Thursday, July 11, 2013
Those those who want to listen, Rob Simone on Coast to Coast AM went in depth on the 528 hz in 2011. . It was an interesting show, and until today I completely forgot I listened to it.
Maybe I was the victim of frequency mind control.
Those those who want to listen, Rob Simone on Coast to Coast AM went in depth on the 528 hz in 2011. . It was an interesting show, and until today I completely forgot I listened to it.
What's the frequency Kenneth?
Good REM song.. remember that? Dan Rather should.
Nonetheless, I am researching all of this crazy HZ information and came across an interesting article on the 528 hz.. The ‘love frequency’ .. This website at least concluded that 432 hz is the best..
So they say..
Is this all crazy to you?
Here is the DOORS, changed from 440 hz to 432 hz.. Can your ears tell any difference?
I notice it..
LET IT BE at 432 hz.. Much better.
So let’s get a little conspiratorial and crazy, shall we?
Here’s a video where your untrained ear can most likely tell the difference between 432 hz and 440 hz.. Which ones makes you feel calmer, I ask?
I think there’s something to this whole vibration of the earth thing..
Sadly no one emailed me a song that made them happy..
But I had a fallback plan. I resorted to actually conversing with people—in person—about the topic throughout the day…
Quite an array of tunes..
Lionel Richtie..
Lee Greenwood (yes someone actually said that)
Even Annie Lennox.
I found out, though, whether it was LOVE GROWS WHERE MY ROSEMARY GOES or SWEET DREAMS… I can find some happiness with the songs mentioned by friends and co-workers too.
So it gives me the feeling that, regardless of the era of time or the artist who created it, everyone’s happy song has a common thread: they are just songs that make you feel good. Even if you didn’t realize someone else’s song could make you happy too, you realized after they said it.. “well, golly that song makes me happy too.” And you need to use the word ‘golly’ for it to be truly happy.
The other thing I began to contemplate was that old rumor and conspiracy theory that the 432 hz frequency we should be is on is perverted by the 440 hz we were placed on. Maybe these happy songs are on the 432? Just sayin..
Maybe some happy songs coming tonight.. along with some conspiracy talk about those strange HZ rumors..
Thirsty for happiness Thursday
Looking for positive thoughts today..
And happy music
My favorite happy song is Love Grows Where my Rosemary goes (and not because of the movie SHALLOW HAL!)
So what is your ‘happy song?’
The AFP reports..
Pope Francis on Thursday bolstered criminal legislation against child abuse in the Vatican in an overhaul of laws that apply to the clergymen and lay people who work in the tiny city state.
The Vatican said in a statement that the pope’s decree included “a broader definition of the category of crimes against minors” including child prostitution, sexual acts with children and child pornography.
This is great news! Amen.

Ok.. anyone who worked in the food industry knows what a Mother’s Day cleanup or a New Years Eve night looks like. But i don’t care how bad the restaurant you were in was, it looks nothing like this Golden Corral …
By the way, for your health, the restaurant is in Florida..
Piles of trash.. ‘fresh’ meat near dumpsters..
And to all the dirty restaurants among us: The net is filled with foodies and whistleblowers.
If your kitchen is this bad, it deserves to be online for all to see..
My lifestyle change continues
Last night I proposed a one ingredient (and substantially more standing) lifestyle. Today was day one.. I think it went well. Carrot juice in the morning followed by an apple, chicken with salt and pepper at lunch and broccoli.. dinner is yet to be determined.
The goal is not to really lose weight, though that would not be a bad thing, but also to just be overall …. better. Feel better, act better, live better. That is the true goal of the one ingredient standup lifestyle..
We will see how this goes..
In the mean time, here are 20 other healthy foods to consider
