Google Chairman Eric Schmidt: "The Internet Will Disappear"


I agree..
Note the ‘as we know it’ ending to his statement..


There are some clear thing to agree with on this assumption of our future.. Schmidt reminds us, 



“There will be so many IP addresses…so many devices, sensors, things that you are wearing, things that you are interacting with that you won’t even sense it. It will be part of your presence all the time. Imagine you walk into a room, and the room is dynamic. And with your permission and all of that, you are interacting with the things going on in the room.”



It already is a part of our presence. Washing machines and refrigerators equipped to go online, Smart TVs being watched (and watching us) and now iWatches are on the way, making technology even closer to being implanted into our arms instead of just being worn on the outside of our skin.


The comments section on the HOLLYWOOD REPORTER story may be the most interesting.. many call Schmidt a creepy narcissistic evil entity, some call him a “Nazi” and say he deserves prison time.. One said “Google is full of nut jobs” .. and then this comment,



He’s also insane. Just model it out: 100 things in your house with IP addresses, all using electricity and all subject to configuration and durability problems. The learning curve alone is absurdly impossible. I feel like Khrushchev - I want to beat him with my shoe…



Sure, people have the chance to make witty and quick comments to stories on the Internet..But as fast and comedic as people can be, they are also purchasing the evil products that Schmidt spoke about. They are eating up smart TVs.. they are happily living a constantly-connected life on social media on their smartphones.. 


Schmidt is right. 
The Internet is changing and it will never be the same again.


However, that’s not really a bad thing. It is just a thing..  Just as a stone tablet led to a fountain pen that led to a typewriter that led to a smart phone, it’s the progression of society and humanity. It just seems, lately, that we have steamrolled far more into the future than what human minds are capable of emotionally dealing with. At least to me.


BUT… 
As with anything.. 
Technology can be amazing and give birth to freedoms of the mind, or it can become a technocratic hell on earth led by demons with human skin. We pick..
And we buy, either buy into the future of hope or the soon-to-be-days of demonic existence.

This is Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Salman bin Abdul Aziz al-Saud.. he is taking over for his father, King Abdullah, 90, who just died.


I wonder if oil prices finally put Abdullah over the edge..


But the world sure had fun while he was alive, eh?

No Joke. Brian Koerber on MASHABLE writes,



Brooklyn-based artist and hacker KATSU used his own fecal matter to create a portrait ofFacebook CEO and cofounder Mark Zuckerberg.


The pooptrait, which is currently on display at The Hole in New York City, is a part of KATSU’s first solo exhibition titled “Remember the Future.” The gallery was not immediately available for comment.



I suppose this is nice. I guess..
Actually I think it shows more than anything that the artist has a very healthy digestive system..

ISIS Posts Clock Counting Down To Zero Online As Time Is Running Out For Japanese Hostages


Featured image


A countdown clock?
ISIS continues to use modern technology to put death in the face of humanity.. 


This from AP:



The posting, which appeared Friday, shows a clock counting down to zero along with gruesome images of other hostages who have been beheaded by the group.



ISIS gave Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe a 72-hour deadline – which expired Friday – to pay a $200 million ransom for the two hostages. The Friday posting on a forum popular among Islamic State militants and sympathizers did not show any images of the Japanese hostages.



Japan said it will not be paying the $200 million ransom that has been demanded..


According to various reports, officials are cautiously watching Internet postings and Twitter messages globally to watch for any sign that images or videos of murder have been posted..


But on the topic of ISIS itself, many are beginning to ponder the set and scenery of the videos being filmed. The shadows on the faces of the hostages don’t match the shadows of their bodies.. at time it looks like the speaker is superimposed and has a photoshopped hand.. And some have even joked that the background looks more like Luke Skywalker’s home planet from STAR WARS than it does a desert in the Middle East..


A good collection of thoughts and Twitter messages on the potential fakery is on THE DAILY SHEEPLE..

China is going to build a $242 billion (1.5 trillion yuan) high-speed rail link between Beijing and Moscow. The line will cut the journey time from five to 'two days', say Chinese authorities.

This is amazing news… and it should have been something America did first..


I long thought that one of the best initiatives President Obama could have done immediately in 2009 was to plan for a comprehensive high speed railway across the nation—a new Interstate system al-la- Eisenhower.. 


It could have changed America. Revolutionized travel.. Ate away early at OPEC margins.. and transformed this into a new American century of jobs and prosperity, and quick travel between small towns and big cities..


Instead we didn’t.
And now soon, you’ll be able to travel from from Beijing to Moscow in 2 days.

The world is going to now witness a stream of media attention about the Doomsday Clock


  • it wasn’t changed snice 2012

  • until today it was five minutes until midnight

  • it has been pushed to three minutes until midnight with today’s announcement

Perhaps if the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists REALLY wants to get some attention, they’d use the clock from DON’T HUG ME I’M SCARED.. 




And anyway, Justin Timberlake sang we only had four minutes to save the world.. I guess he was wrong..

A great question posed: Do atheist movie goers get scared during supernatural horror movies?

The answer provided by Robert Frost (not the poet):



“So, atheists can certainly get a thrill from supernatural movies, but they do miss out on the scariness being prolonged after the theater lights come back on. That’s a thrill reserved to those that can believe in the possibility of ghosts and demons.”

George Lucas sounds off: Disney didn’t use any of his ideas in new STAR WARS movie.. 


But while some fans may seen this as a shot at Lucas, let’s get real.. the ‘newest’ STAR WARS movies were basically a triplet of trash, some of the worst films I have ever seen.


Especially the PHANTOM MENACE.. should we really ponder why Disney didn’t use the ideas?


Sure, a young George Lucas gave us Darth Vader.


But the modern Lucas gave us Jar Jar Binks..

Winter is really hitting me hard today..

The state of the union.. the state of a presidency.. a President, once unpopular, now becomes a populist.. ....he rants against the wealth and proclaims his pain for the poor–he begs a Republican majority to pass Middle Class reforms they will never consider.

But standing ovations were common on the left, eye rolls on the right. But he was dead on accurate.. no Keystone Pipeline when a bigger project could prevail.. no little ideas. Big ideas–but why does he cut NASA? Why doesn’t he stand in the way of intrusive spying and corporate giveaways? Because.. I suppose, he’s a politician..  I have a feeling that some of the KoolAid left over from 2008 will be back on the shelves by tomorrow morning’s news run.. Though there’s only two years left.. Two years that will feature no minimum wage increase.. no sick pay for nursing mothers.. no big jobs program.. no reforms for the Middle Class. However it will make a hell of a few issues for 2016. And that’s the point.. politics is always getting in the way of real reforms. The standing ovations are all for show. Theater at its finest. Or worst.

This was a scene today in Japan.. if you had any doubts that the future was going to look very different from the past and present, read about this news conference..


Japanese androids not only held this news conference, but they also chatted with baby droids..


TECHWORLD reprots,



If you find lifelike robots unnerving, try attending a news conference held by a pair of androids.


That was the scene on Tuesday in Tokyo when the androids Kodomoroid and Otonaroid introduced a new pair of communication robots developed by an Osaka-based company, Vstone, and its partners.


Sota and CommU, each about 30cm tall, engaged in dialog with their full-sized counterparts at the Miraikan technology museum as journalists looked on, entranced. The smaller, tabletop droids can only move their arms and upper bodies, but spoke in cute Japanese resembling the speech of a toddler.



Also they may be hitting the market around April..
Real feeling and emotions next?


If you think it’s creepy, get used to it.. This is the future. The future is obviously now..


This somewhat reminded me of the episode BE RIGHT BACK of the BLACK MIRROR series, where a woman was able to purchase an android version of her deceased lover..


That, or the movie HALLOWEEN 3..
Pick your poison.
And get ready to get a little roboto in the future..

On YOUTUBE, user MrLegolize writes,



I was blocked by two trucks on south bound I-95 at exit 9 in NJ (New Brunswick exit). I only wanted to take a picture while i was awaiting for them to clear up… And then I heard a noise from behind…I was barely missed. 
UPDATE (moved from the bottom of the description, since no one bothers to read it): Once I turned off camera, I called in 911 and reported the accident. After that I came to the truck and the rest of the cars to verify they were alright. After arrival of NJ State Trooper and his dismissal confirming that he does not require my presence, I left the scene.

At one point, as noted in the photo, he looked pretty enthusiastic that so many people were seeing him instead of the new Governor..

There’s another storm possible even AFTER this one 120 hours out—lots of time to go and lots of moving and shaking of models may still occur. We don’t know until we are about 38-48 hours away..

My wife is in St. Maarten for the week—my son and dog are both stuck with me alone for the week.. The strict regiment of 9pm nbedtime failed last night already.. I envision the day care start times as being late each day too if the pattern, already set in motion, continues..


Without delving too deep into my personal issues here, this has been a rough bit for me .. Eight crazy nights’ worth of being the loner dad—that doesn’t sound right does it?—and knowing that, while I peer out of my dirty coal-covered windows at a lazy winter gray sky my wife will be suffering through sunny days with 80 degree temperatures.. 


Nonetheless, these are the plights and perils of only one parent going on a vacation while the other does not.


However, in my strange mindset, my wife set me the photo you see with this post of the view from her airplane wing as she flew south.. My first thought was how much it resembled the scene from the Shatner TWILIGHT ZONE.. Really.. 


Maybe this is my other paranoia setting in—the fear of flying that was deeply ingrained in my non-traveling parents at an early age. 


People of the coal region inflict that on others.. My wife, who was from Philadelphia, never had to worry about the sheltered mountain mentality of being fearful of change and discovering new things.. I suppose now 30+ years into that fear, it’s still so hard to overcome that I see visions of monsters on airplane wings..


My son has already announced that he listens to ‘mommy when she counts to three,’ but went on to remind me ‘but I am not going to listen to you when you do it!’ And then he belted out an evil laugh..


7 more days..
One week.
Either from parental hell or from angelic heaven.


Time will tell. As will moods—and God forbid some wretched snowstorm piles up this week, forcing us to maintain sanity in four walls.


While in St. Maarten? 85. Sunny. What else is new..

The bizarre ESP experiments conducted on aboriginal children without parental consent


This Washington POST story penned by Abby Phillip is a must read.. The aboriginal children in Canada were subjected to so much misery and torture—kids as young as three being separated from their families and taken into a cruel life of bondage a wards of the state..


But the latest news we see here is a little more on the odd side.. Phillip reports,



A recently uncovered experiment reveals the depths of the access given to so-called researchers seeking to find evidence that aboriginal children, by dint of their race, had extrasensory perception, also known as ESP, or a “sixth sense.”


Fifty children at the Indian Residential School in Brandon, Manitoba, became the subjects of a series of tests that sought to establish a new measure for identifying ESP and also to find evidence of supernatural abilities of “primitive” people.



In the end, there does not appear to be any harm suffered by the children—except unless you consider that they happily and willing participated in them surveys because they’d get candy as a reward, candy for their starving stomachs..


But the study also offered nothing worthwhile—the results of the ESP was no better than just the chance guesses kids can make..


While this specific study took place in 1940, I think a bigger question is what else occurred that we do not know..


And lest we forget, these schools—run  by churches but funded by the government—had more than 150,000 total kids in throughout time and were closed in 1996. That’s in most of our lifetimes—1996 was not ancient history..


Phillip goes on to report,



“The mortality rates of these schools were vastly higher than the rest of Canada,” Mosby said. “This comes back to the dehumanizing elements of residential schools in Canada. The entire purpose of them was to destroy indigenous ways of life.”


Linklater, who unearthed the study, forwarded it to Mosby because the researcher had previously examined other experiments conducted on aboriginal children during that time period.


“There’s no parental consent, there’s no research studies that would have been ethical by our standards today, and these kids were exploited,” Linklater told the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. “I don’t mean to say this to inspire white guilt, I’m using this as a tool for change.”



In 2008, Canada said sorry..
As rightfully so.


I think as time goes on and those who suffered—children of course, as always—we will learn even more about the tests far worse than this ESP bizarreity.  Much darker things most likely occurred..

Connecticut officials coordinate earthquake preparation


The situation is confusing and challenging—a place that has not shaken in centuries is constantly now moving..


Of course nothing large enough to be earth shattering or teeth chattering has happened at this point, officials must be anxious.. Residents who have homes not built to withstand large shakes must be equally upset about the daily earthquakes that are occurring.


Safe places are now being thought up.. disaster plans.. family meet up points, and ways to get in touch with loved ones should something bigger even occur.


Scientists are still attempting to state exactly why is happening and why.. It has been challenging . The New York TIMES reports it this way :



Connecticut sat in the middle of this massive body of land. Then, about 200 million years after Pangea was formed, it began pulling apart. As the world began to take the shape, tectonic plates were colliding and breaking apart with tremendous force, creating huge faults. One of those faults — extending from near New Haven north to Keene, N.H. — helped create the Connecticut Valley. Although that fault has been inactive for 140 million years, residual stresses still exist and can set off earthquakes.


Since 1980, there have been swarms of several hundreds of earthquakes in and around Moodus, and scientists believe the Indian name was the result of the small tremors that would shake the lands.


But those quakes were mostly only detectable by machines. Not so the most recent swarm.


Dino Chrisovechotis said that he lived through earthquakes as a child in Greece but that his neighbors could use some basic information.


“Nobody here knows anything about earthquakes,” said Mr. Chrisovechotis, standing in Gus’s Pub & Pizzarama in Plainfield, the restaurant of which he is a co-owner. “It’s crazy.”



Just yesterday, a larger earthquake struck on the NE edge of the craton in Canada..

Lots of people found lots of hope in a story that was never real to begin with, a hoax perpetrated in masses of people who desperately searched for light in the darkness of this world..
That is behavior worthy of an eternal hell…

You have to admit some grand ironic joke here right?

There's Actually A Scientific Reason You Sometimes Want To Eat Your Baby (or Puppy)

I was informed, interested, and yet somehow disturbed by this article on cute aggression..
I never wanted to eat my child. I suppose others haven’t been so lucky..

FIVE PROJECT ALMANAC TRAILERS

This movie looks good. Sure it’s another ‘found footage’ thing. but I love the concept, and I love then thought of time travel, it perhaps is my favorite topic to contemplate silently when I have time to silently contemplate..

Pretty clever..

Lots of Men Don’t Think Rape Is Rape


And more



Almost a third of the men (31.7 percent) said that in a consequence-free situation, they’d force a woman to have sexual intercourse, while 13.6 percent said they would rape a woman. Setting aside the fact that it’s terrifying that a full third of a random group of college men will admit to this, the 20-point divide is still weird, even if it does reflect what’s been observed in previous research: At the end of the day, after all, the two groups are saying the exact same thing.




Lots of Men Don’t Think Rape Is Rape

Welcome to 2015. Murder and mayhem are already here.


There are stunning satellite images being revealed of just how horrid of a situation Boko Haram has created in the Nigerian towns of Baga and Doran Baga..  The images show before and after photographs taken, and have been released by Amnesty International in their quest for public consumption of the potential horrors that may have been committed on innocent people in both locations.


The images were taken January 2 and then the 7th. Days later, those same towns, if you look closely, have been wiped off the map..


There have been outcries of horror for days now with people accusing militants of killing up to 2000 civilians in their latest route through Nigeria.. If these images are accurate and true, entire villages have been gutted with homes, clinics, and schools being burnt to the ground..


As many as 3,700 structures may have been eradicated..  However, it has been clearly difficult to verify the death toll that this misery has created.  But there are disturbing accounts being revealed, such as one Tweeted by Aisha Dabo claiming that a woman was giving birth during the carnage and ‘half of’ the child was out while she was being killed.. 



Dubai residents pass honesty test in YouTube wallet stunt

Dubai may be the best place in the world to drop your wallet. Chances are, according to the very unscientific test conducted here by some people from the UK, you’ll get your money back. 


45 different wallet drop stunts were carried out on various streets in Dubai. Every time, someone returned it to the owner..


I suppose there’d be repercussions for anyone committing such a crime of theft, though, which probably compels the picker-upper to do the good moral deed..


Return a wallet today? Or find a hand tomorrow.

Eat Like An Okinawan & Live Until You're 100

That headline is probably deceptive.. there are a multitude of reasons, along with heredity that compels a body to live to a ripe old age. But a few things that are doing right in Okinawa consist of these simple principles: 


  1. Little added sugar

  2. Low fat..

  3. HIGH potassium

  4. Nutrients

  5. Fiber

So eat that way.
You may not live to 100, but you’ll feel better as you approach it .. that’s not medical advice, it’s just common sense..

Everything's Coming Up Roses by Night Terrors of 1927.. Their new album on iTunes

I first saw them when they opened for FITZ AND AND TANTRUMS, as I may have mentioned (many times?) before.. But I just get to love them more each time I hear them..

Pope Francis, on the Charlie Hebdo attack and the ‘limits to free expression,’


ON this issue, he is fallible. Couldn’t disagree with him more..

MySpace CEO Tim Vanderhook told the Wall Street Journal that the site still draws 50 million visitors a month. That’s a massive 575% leap over last year’s traffic.

Why? 
THROWBACK THURSDAY..


And what better place to do a throwback Thursday than a throwback website to the early days of social networking..?


Nostalgia is en vogue.. As we all collectively age, a whole new generation is getting even more nostalgic for times that are not even that long gone.


And that’s MYSPACE’s angle and success mechanism to getting a 500% increase in click traffic..


Now for all of you out there who haven’t logged in to MYSPACE for a few years, good luck remembering your password.

This is a photograph taken January 14 2015 at the Northumberland County Prison was destroyed by a fire.


The prisoners had to be evacuated to a nearby church and kept under guard as the jail burned down.  The prisoners are now being transferred to other facilities as a part of an emergency measure put in place..


Already conspiracy theories are arising in the local area.. ‘they wanted a new prison,’ one wrote on Facebook. The jail was old. But an inside job? No evidence (yet) .. but there is enough evidence to show that this brutal fire needs to be investigated fully..

1998 was clearly a solid year..

News from Columbus Ohio..a substitute teacher is up on felony charges for showing the horror movie THE ABCS OF DEATH to her class!  The COLUMBUS DISPATCH has the full story on Sheila Kearns.. 


The defense attorney for Kearns argued that she had her back to the screen for the film and did not see the graphic sex or murder scenes.. The JURY in the case is going to be made to watch THE ABCS OF DEATH–anyone who has been aware of this film knows what the jury is going to see..  


I have written about the ABCs before.. It’s not my type of horror flick to watch for fun..  BUT.. in fairness and, well, in America.. being fired may be the best result. Being kicked off the rosters in the entire state may be fine, too.


But criminal charges?


Prison time? All for a horror movie that, chances are, was already seen by half of the kids in the high school class rooms where it was being shown?


I think that goes well beyond too far.. But even horror movie fans seem divided on whether her punishment equals her crime.. Read the comments section on this BLOODY DISGUSTING article to get a full flavor of the sentiment among people who love horror but are still divided on whether she should do prison time..

‘UNFRIENDED’ is a horror movie that takes place entirely online. And it is being called deeply disturbing by people who have seen it. Perez Hilton says the scariest thing about the movie is how easily some of it can actually happen to anyone..

Scientists Baffled By What Is Causing Mysterious Booms Being Reported Across the Country

Scientists Baffled By What Is Causing Mysterious Booms Being Reported Across the Country

Is the core of the earth changing? Causing booms? That is what Linda Moulton Howe is wondering, along with lots of people who have felt the ground under their feet shake lately..

Print reborn!! 3 mil copies of the newest CHARLIE HEBDO magazine have sold out across France.. 2 million more copies are going to be printed to meeting the surge of demand in the nation (AND THE WORLD) for the first paper to be published since the attacks.. Interesting to note, this once had a flailing number of 60,000 prints per issue–and more than half of them were trashed due to the lack of interest. From 60,000 from 5 million.. Math tells me that is over an 8000% increase..


Just as SONY made a bad situation into a positive, perhaps the same is true for CHARLIE HEBDO..
