The big political news tonight: Hillary Clinton wiped her server clean *(come on, who didn’t see this coming? )* The bigger story to me: POLITICO found the most unflattering photo of Hill they could find for their story..
Monsanto may get the WHO to retract the Roundup cancer link study, I don’t know but they are not going to do anything to win the hearts and minds of the purchasing public with performances like this..
The other pilot slamming into the cockpit door with an ax…. people screaming as they saw their peril.. this is like a horror movie and I sure can’t even contemplate what it’s like to be a family member or friend of one of the tragic souls who perished in this mass murder event..
Excited by this one! I still own the books and always found them to be some of the most creative and creepy stories I never read. And they are just as good as an adult as they were when I was young. I would love to see how these were created and just how far reaching they were. I bet money they inspired a number of younger people to explore their artistic abilities just by trying t I emulate the haunting sketches in the book.. I will be following this..
p>I love this article. . I tried the same myself with a 1997 HP.. I was surprised how well it worked but how awfully slow it was.. though there’s also a big difference between 97 and 86..
Either all of this information is coming out conveniently fast or its just how fast information can come out…? Nonetheless, some facts presented are chilling in light of messages I I got last night of peklle theorizing that this was an MKUKTRA operation..
Readers of this website will know that many times over I have said that professional wrestling and horror movies during any given period of time exemplify the generation growing up at that moment. And now we see professional wrestling and horror movies joining together in a pop cultural phenomenon to truly exemplify our current time
I sense this is going to set off quite a raging debate about when life begins… in this matter, we certainly know when life ended. I am very disheartened that n I murder charge will be levied. This crime was heinous and premeditated, and a child was extracted from a mother to be. And killed.
Last week the Federal Aviation Administration finally gave Amazon permission to begin test flying its delivery drones outdoors.
It is very interesting, that our Founding Fathers came up with a system of checks and balances, and an amazing way that divided government must, somehow and someway, be forced to work together as the clock approaches midnight.. But the Founding Fathers weren’t living in the tech age..
I read this VERGE article by Ben Popper with great interest.
The government moves slow. Very slow.. Our modern age is moving at a fever’s pitch.. One way or the other the future is coming..
It may not happen but it’s sure worth seeing. If this particular weather model run from yesterday proves true, it will be a white Easter with a potential blizzard along the East Coast..
Yes, you read that right.
Not much confidence is in the model at this point.. but April is still a time when snow could fall—never discount the chance of it occurring by fluke.. April showers.. rain or snow. Hopefully May flowers will follow.
I can’t even describe how much he sucks.. how each second of programming exudes this fraudulent verbal diarrhea.. how he took a show that was created to be one of the coolest things on earth by Art Bell and practically halfway flushed it down the toilet before pulling it back up and reusing it again.
Compared to those with typical development, children with autism were more likely to have constipation and diarrhea when they were ages 6 months to 18 months, and more likely to have diarrhea, constipation and food allergy/intolerance when they were ages 18 months to 36 months, the researchers said…
We will become one with the internet, and become it, giving it life.. we will also have the ability to search our body for the problems… if we are sick, we can perform a search and find the ailment. Eventually we will be able to print new organs.
This is all coming faster than expected–as outlandish as it sounds, it really is not science fiction.
The true question: Will the rich keep the spoils for themselves or allow some goodness to spill out? Or will human beings, for the most part, ruin the goodness that all of this will bring by perverted it with power, greed, gluttony, and murder?
The future is now.. robots are replacing human beings in most lines of work. The service industry and manufacturing base is collapsing.. Even actors may be replaced by digital versions.. And now this: Goodbye guide dogs.. Robots on reins about to take their work..
My grandmother watched this quite often when I was young.. I recall this priest’s face from my early days. Thankfully, as a child, I didn’t know him personally..
Whether that is true or not, perhaps we’ll never know.. It certainly is easier for humans to digest the idea that death is unknown rather than an 11 minute knowing of the doom to come..
There must be an epidemic today of teenagers crying online, on Twitter and Facebook, about the Zayn One Direction nonsense. Keep in mind, the internet never goes away now. All of your tears will come back to haunt you five years from now when you wonder why you cried about this..
I’m very happy the internet wasn’t popular with Hootie and the Blowfish broke up..
If the 2014-YB35 asteroid hit Earth it could wipe out a country
Even more troulbing: This fire in the sky is about to skim past Earth this FRIDAY—THIS FRIDAY—at 23,000 MPH..
It will not hit us.. But it’s relatively close and will be viewed by professional and amateur astronomers alike..
It’s also a huge reminder—in size and meaning—of how much is beyond us that can endanger this planet.
While we argue about useless memes and toil away with trouble, the danger lurks in our galaxy. It can strike at any time. So far we’ve been lucky.. But you sure would think by now we would have found a way to find these threats and do something about them …
A lot of initial reporting on the Germanwings flight crash in the French Alps has been discredited as more information has surfaced.. The initial report yesterday that a mayday distress call was placed was wrong.. And then another issue was reported, that the descent of Flight 9525 took 8 minutes. Instead, new information suggests, it took 18!
The French environment and transport minister, Ségolène Royal, said that the crew of the Airbus A320 had stopped responding on radio at 10.30am yesterday when the aircraft was over the Mediterranean. The aircraft slammed into the sheer side of a mountain in the French Alps soon after 10.48am. For those 18 minutes, it gradually shed height from 28,000 feet to less than 2,000 feet without transmitting any form of distress signal.
This information is also being reported: The French interior minister, Bernard Cazeneuve, said that so-called “black box” had been damaged in the crash but was “usable”. .. For some reason, I hesitate buying into this at this point. With the number of times official stories have already changed, I wouldn’t doubt a change in this factoid either.
At this point, the results from yesterday’s crash are horrific.. one family last three generations of people. A school lost 16 of its best and brightest children.. The heartache extends to the United States with news that two passengers on the doomed flight were from here..
Three generations of one family — a schoolgirl, her mother and grandmother — were on the Germanwings plane that crashed, according to a town outside Barcelona. A statement from Sant Cugat del Valles town hall didn’t provide their names. The girl was a student of a middle school for children aged 10 to 11 at Santa Isabel school in Sant Cugat. "The students are very affected. The teachers are trying to help them any way they can," said a woman who answered the phone at the school. She refused to give her name or comment further. —By Associated Press writer Jorge Sainz in Madrid.
Just when you think your plight in the grand scheme of things matters a bit, news comes along to give perspective to just how tiny we all are. Today, two examples exist in science news, presented for your review:
When considering the history of our universe, and the ever-changing space around us, it’s pretty amazing that we are even here. That somehow we evolved into the creatures of habit we have.. and somehow still survive in a very hostile existence..
We are somehow alive..
No matter how big of planets of the past crashed and asteroids smashed.
Of course all of that could easily happen again..
A rescue helicopter flies over wreckage of a Germanwings Airbus A320 plane that crashed between the towns of Barcelonnette and Digne in the French Alps.
There is nothing left.. The plane, according to all reports, has been obliterated..
Irish miners hanged for fighting back against horrific working conditions.
This is a good read about worthwhile history of the coal region.. The area I am from is going downhill fast.. Vacant streets and empty storefronts. We are a mere dilapidated replica of the wealthy area we once were decades ago. But there is still reason to be proud .. even if I move from this area soon—and for my family and me, it will be the best choice when I do it—there will still be these proud roots in my heritage. A place where workers rights began in the United States. Where the government’s injustices were seen in black and white.. with coal soot on top..
In an interview with CBS News Tuesday, Cruz said he grew up listening to classic rock, but became a country fan after 9/11 because of how musicians responded to the attacks. "I actually find this intellectually curious, but on 9/11, I didn’t like how rock music responded, and country music collectively, the way they responded, it resonated with me, and I just have to say just at a gut level, I had an emotional reaction that said these are my people," he said. Country music was very patriotic following 9/11. Songs like “Only in America” by Brooks & Dunn, “Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)” by Alan Jackson, and “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)” by Toby Keith were all hits on Billboard’s Country chart.
The POST article goes on to point out the rock songs that became popular after 9/11, like Bruce Springsteen’s THE RISING, Wu Tang Clan’s RULES, and Neil Young’s LET’S ROLL..
It’s not being said, but I think this whole Cruz quote is based off of what happened to the Dixie Chicks. Remember that fiasco? Freedom fries eating American burned their albums to protest their protesting of the Iraq war? Let’s be honest… there were two periods after 9/11: 1) The initial unification of America and chance to change the world. 2) The Iraq war run-up.. Which America is Cruz talking about?
Another intriguing part of this crash. Inspections are thorough.. no company wants a crash on their record.. And this plane was inspected one day before this tragedy…
Check the date on this foreign news source reporting the Germanwings crash.. yes that says 2 days ago. I have seen a number of people beginning to link this cached page as evidence that conspiracy has occurred here..
We know this: We don’t know.
Already today, the news surrounding the flight crash has changed substantially.
When it was first reported, there were news accounts that a mayday distress call was made. Now it has turned out, according to official statements, that no mayday was made. And then the plane descended for 8 minutes before the final crash into the mountains of the French Alps..
This is a part of why, until the dust clears, I attempt to steer clear of reporting breaking news, as no news source seems to get anything correct in the initial hours. Or maybe they do. And the official narrative just changes.
As for the events of this Germanwings crash: The theories are abounding.. This is the latest in a series of high profile crashes that have seemingly been dominating headlines over the past 14 months.. But crashes happen too, remember.
I don’t want to authoritatively state any theory on why this crash occurred. To the best of our knowledge, if you believe the reporting of NBC NEWS at least, there is at least one black box recovered from the scene. In that light, the world hopefully will find out the truth as to why the plane crashed, why no mayday was called out, and why the entire event took 8 minutes… just imagine the horror of those 8 minutes.
I think it’s fair and proper to question all accounts, all theories, and try to ascertain what events took place. That goes for any events that occur.. But it’s premature to conclude a conspiracy.
Sometimes accidents do happen. Just as every crash accident is not a conspiracy, every plane crash is not either.
I have my personal thoughts about Fligth 800 in 1996. I also have my own doubts about Flight 370.. I also think a missile took down the flight in late 2014..
As far as this one? Time will tell. But there is one thing to note.. If this is not a conspiracy, not terrorism, not inflicted on humans by other humans, then it becomes scarier.. Why? Because it shows how out of luck we can be on this planet.. how cursed we often times are without knowing it.. And how at risk we all are to the dangers that pop up when least expected.
Yes, indeed.. Just as reality is scarier than fiction, ‘chance’ is much more frightening than conspiracy. Because there’s no rhyme or reason or sympathy when you speak about ‘chance.’
German official: High school group on crashed plane; Spanish school says 16 students involved.
I remember the crash of TWA Flight 800.. I was 16 at the time (and all conspiracy and missile theories aside) that result from that crash was traumatic to my area in Pennsylvania. On Flight 800: The town of Montoursville PA was ‘in a daze’ after a number of high school kids died on that plane (Source: USA TODAY, 1996)
I would imagine the same ‘daze’ will be happening in whatever school these kids were from—teenagers who were lucky enough to get a chance to see some new parts of the world and now after this tragedy, have perished from our earth..
Last night before bed, I made a little mistake in listening to a DARKNESS RADIO true crime show with Dave Schrader featuring the owner of Serial Killer Magazine. The show was great and interesting. True crime fascinates me … actually scares me. The intense reality that exists beyond the safety of our locked doors and closed windows is abhorrent, often. There is much to be written and told of true crime—too much to start now. But I’m curious how many others out there are interested in true crime.. How many people are both fascinated and horrified by the macabre.. and how many fear reality more than fiction?
I am skeptical humans are the main cause of climate change and that it will be catastrophic in the near future. There is no scientific proof of this hypothesis, yet we are told “the debate is over” and “the science is settled.”
My skepticism begins with the believers’ certainty they can predict the global climate with a computer model. The entire basis for the doomsday climate change scenario is the hypothesis increased atmospheric carbon dioxide due to fossil fuel emissions will heat the Earth to unlivable temperatures.
Sure, it’s a good performance.. Fine, she is a great singer.. And yes, she’s a STAR»> But there’s something awfully creepy to me about this J LO live scene from AMERICAN IDOL.. Maybe her hypnotic dress.. perhaps the ‘feel the light’ mantra in light of the CERN churning of parallel universe hopes or the eclipse and super moons..
Or maybe I just listened to too much CLYDE LEWIS recently..
MORE.. Pedro Aguayo Ramirez, known as Hijo del Perro Aguayo, fell unconscious on the ropes, apparently after receiving a flying kick from fellow wrestler and former WWE star Oscar Gutierrez, known as Rey Mysterio Jr., according to video of the match in a municipal auditorium in Tijuana.
A historical perspective of liquor licenses in Schuylkill County PA from the 1800s.. THIS is when things were up and coming in the coal region, when coal was king and the barons were robbing. But the high tide of the economy also lifted all boats.. A much different picture exists today..
thedoomreport IT was the fun not knowing.. the idea that the truth was just ‘out there’ on the X FILES, and all of that was just fake. Right? All fun and fake.. Soup Nazis on Seinfeld and the Clinton scandals that weren’t really. Those were the days—the 90s were a decade about nothing. A decade in which we were infuriated about issues that didn’t matter. And I was moving through my teens toward 20, paying less than a buck a gallon for gas in a little Chevy car and staying awake often until sunrise listening to Art Bell with my father or friends.
Then the knowing began as I aged.. After 9/11, after floods and fury across the globe. And I began to know..
The knowing.. The fun all happens before that.
Thanks for the question—it made me think..
There are times I have such nostalgia for my youth in the 90s…
I am proud of my son learning to play video games. Is that wrong? Sure.. I will be proud when he learns science, math, reasoning, and spelling.. but seeing him discover how to play SUPER MARIO not only on the Wii U, but also the WII and the NINTENDO (original, folks) is amazing for a father..
Which is to be expected..There has been along controversy about this. Heck, there is still a controversy about Agent Orange—created of course by the same folks who now give us GMO food and products to kill the bugs that used to feast on growing plants..
While doing some searching for other peer reviewed science that may back up these most recent WHO findings, I found this article from 2013 appearing in the HUFFINGTON POST, lashing out at those who are critical of Monsanto based on ‘bad science.’ I wonder how much more ‘bad science’ has to happen before we listen.. before the butterflies stop dying.. before cancer rates start falling.. and before we eat good honest food again..
A fire that tore through a home in a heavily Jewish Brooklyn neighborhood, leaving seven children dead and two other people in critical condition, may have been caused by a malfunctioning hot plate left on for the Sabbath, the city’s fire commissioner said Saturday. Commissioner Daniel Nigro said the deceased range in age from 5 to 15 years old. He said a woman and teenager survived after jumping from the second floor. The woman is believed to be the mother of all eight children, Nigro said.
This is now how firefighters—heroes—want to begin a weekend..
Scientists at Large Hadron Collider hope to make contact with PARALLEL UNIVERSE in days.. For those who don’t know, the Hadron Collider fired back up a few days ago … so far the world didn’t end or fall into a black hole. But there’s always time for that..
But I was a little intrigued when I found that the Extinction Protocol was reporting a story that scientists with CERN are going to be attempting contact with a parallel universe. You certainly don’t see headlines like that everyday, so my eyes did a triple take. The Extinction Protocol is a decent website that usually links up its information to a valid source.. In this matter, they linked a UK EXPRESS article titled:
So a few things need to be contemplated before running into the world of lunacy.. First off, the UK EXPRESS is a clear tabloid from the land across the pond.. I read it, I enjoy it.. but I take it with a grain of salt. If the DAILY MAIL is the NY POST, the EXPRESS is probably the STAR..
Nonetheless, I read Paul Bowman’s article with extreme interest.. I sure don’t really understand what I should about physics but that doesn’t stop me from trying to.
Ironically, this all travels back in the Internets to the DAILY MAIL, the powerhouse tabloid that gets worldwide attention. Days ago, that paper reported.
Mir Faizil, a scientist at CERN, gets a lot of the attention in various postings regarding this..
Back to the EXPRESS, Bowman writes,
Mir Faizal, one of the three-strong team of physicists behind the experiment, said: “Just as many parallel sheets of paper, which are two dimensional objects [breadth and length] can exist in a third dimension [height], parallel universes can also exist in higher dimensions. “We predict that gravity can leak into extra dimensions, and if it does, then miniature black holes can be produced at the LHC. "Normally, when people think of the multiverse, they think of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, where every possibility is actualised. "This cannot be tested and so it is philosophy and not science. “This is not what we mean by parallel universes. What we mean is real universes in extra dimensions. “As gravity can flow out of our universe into the extra dimensions, such a model can be tested by the detection of mini black holes at the LHC. “We have calculated the energy at which we expect to detect these mini black holes in ‘gravity’s rainbow’ [a new scientific theory]. “If we do detect mini black holes at this energy, then we will know that both gravity’s rainbow and extra dimensions are correct.”
Without question, there is some eyebrows raised and even panic.. Some fear that this attempt to tinker and toy with the unwritten laws of existence are dangerous.. Many fear it will shred the vale between the here and there, the now and the then.. I even read one account that this will amplify our lives and give us super abilities and senses beyond the 5 we have, but that we will die quickly since our existence in this reality cannot handle the reality from some alternate universe..
I quite frankly don’t know what will happen. We certainly trust those who make oodles more in cash than us to have the best interest of humanity in mind when playing in the scientific sandbox. And to me, I would love there to be some confirmation that alternate universes or parallel existences have gone beyond the science fiction realm and are now becoming mainstream enough to continue studying it for proof of their respective existences.
Meanwhile, grab some popcorn.. Throw in DONNIE DARKO, and watch the pictures as they flutter around the universe(s).
“Lucky enough people are stepping up, making thing happen, that`s the old coal region initiative around here, that`s why this is the Saint Patty`s Day parade of the coal region in Girardville,” said parade manager Stephen Barrett.“We have a very optimistic view of this thing, this isn`t the first time we`ve had snow,” said Joe Wayne, the owner of Hibernian House.He says he’s ready for the event with his bar and the block outside being where everyone ends up after the parade.“Well, it`s like inside here, they said if you died you can`t fall over, and it`s not too different out here,” said Wayne.
Because we humans are made 75-90% of water, we can transform ourselves with our thoughts. Better yet we can transform others with our thoughts.
This is a bit out there for me, but I can roll with it. I can head down this lane, this very watery lane. And quite frankly, as we develop more knowledge, we discover lots more. SO maybe one day we will become one with the water bottle. And we will consume what we are..
There is a fresh blanket of snowing consuming the ground this morning.. it won’t last, I can hear the sounds of spring birds chirping away, perhaps in disbelief that their return home was greeted with a winter blast.. The cold is waning, though. . And the sky is a beautiful shade of pinkish purple the darker clouds lift..
It was a beautiful morning. Even though it was spring, it was amazing to see the snow thick on tree limbs. It will be over soon.. gone.. And forgotten.
Spring will turn to summer.. And summer will also wane away eventually. Years go by fast anymore..
I don’t know if you agree, or perhaps if I am just beginning to fear the middle ages of life as I quickly progress in my 30s, but life is going fast.
But yet, there is a part of me that wants to discredit this and completely ignore the bullying aspect. She was a part of history. As was her dress. The 1990s was the Seinfeld era, the decade about nothing.
Twas the night before a St Patrick’s day parade in Girardville PA.. a mess of snow. A quick attempt to clear the parade route. Guntown will go green but not until they clean the white…
For those who don’t know, radio great Art Bell is planning a return this summer. Either online, or perhaps a little online and a little AM. Undisclosed information at this time.. But my son, age four now, is happy. Perhaps by force.. He has been a captive audience member since infancy when he’d hear Art’s reruns on the FINE ART STREAM and U7 Radio .. Now he fully endorses the return with his own version of a celebratory dance. I suspect if Art can muster up another ten years, Ayden will be 14 years of age. And he will have a full experience of what Art Bell was .. Amazing.
Late last week, a Category 5 tropical cyclone ripped through the island nation of Vanuatu, killing at least 24 people and displacing 3,300 more. In statement to the Associated Press, Vanuatu’s president Baldwin Lonsdale said that 90 percent of the island’s buildings had been destroyed or damaged by the storm.
