The site of today’s shooting in San Bernardino California is a state-funded nonprofit that describes itself on Facebook as an institution that works to “normalize the lives of people with developmental disabilities and their families by working to include them in the everyday routines and life rhythms of the community.”
There is no normalcy in the events of today’s nightmare before Christmas..
FALSE REPORT of shots fired at Target store 10 miles away from San Bernardino Inland Regional Center
Each news story that comes out tonight should be treated with caution and care.. there will be repeated false alarms, false rumors, and false stories.. Take a breather and the story will develop. Police will do their jobs.. actions appropriate will be taken.. But in the mean time, things like this will be occurring, so proceed with care:
Police responded to another possible shooting less than two hours after the attack on a medical facility in San Bernardino, California — but the incident appears to have been a false alarm.
The local police scanner stated that shots were fired at a Target store about 10 miles away from the Inland Regional Center.
But a security guard at the Target store said he didn’t hear any shots, according to scanner traffic.
FALSE REPORT of shots fired at Target store 10 miles away from San Bernardino Inland Regional Center
This Drudge Report headline sums up the situation in San Bernardino so far.. 14 dead.. 14 injured.. it’s being called terror. And with that said, police don’t seem to have any active leads–at least nothing being made public at this point..
But rumors are flying..
The word terror is being used..
Rumors of “Middle Eastern origin” .. rumors of a getaway car being found.. rumors of 3 shooters being heavily armed and firing on a social services facility..
This is a fast developing and ever-changing situation..
San Bernardino shooting -- the latest
Police said there are one to three suspects, who were heavily armed and possibly wearing body armor.

Refugees in Austria told 'don't be afraid of Krampus the child snatching Christmas Devil'
When cultures collide..
From the IRISH MIRROR: Officials in the Austrian village of Virgen are worried its traditional festival of Christmas Devils where Krampus runs amok trying to snatch children will cause panic among Syrians and Iraqis new to the country.
The Christian St Nicholas tradition has long involved Krampus.. For as long as memory serves, there have been Krampus festivals go coincide with December 6.
And now it appears that an influx of refugees will get pretty freaked at the notion that in leaving a war torn life their children may be at risk of being taken by a demon and killed..
You escape DJinn and get a beast from the East Christmas demon.. A world full of paranormal anguish indeed.

NYC's Salt Warning Rule Set to Take Effect
And chain restaurants are really, really angry about it..
The average American consumes about 3,400 mg of salt per day, and public health advocates have cheered the measure as a smart step to make diners aware of how much sodium they’re ordering. A T.G.I. Friday’s New York cheddar and bacon burger counts 4,280 mg, for example; a Chili’s boneless Buffalo chicken salad has 3,460 mg. The figures come from the companies’ published nutritional information.

'Mad Max: Fury Road' Named Best Film by National Board of Review
This was unexpected..
This is how VARIETY sums up the surprise today:
It was an unexpected victory for the summer tentpole starring Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron, which received favorable reviews when it opened in May, but is seen as an awards season longshot. So far, most of the advanced buzz in this year’s Oscars race has focused on such indies as “Spotlight,” “Brooklyn” and “Carol” versus the box office goliath “The Martian.”
The MARTIAN was good. But not as good as I expected–even with the ABBA music..
Here is a list of the winners:
Best Film: “Mad Max: Fury Road”
Best Director: Ridley Scott, “The Martian”
Best Actor: Matt Damon, “The Martian”
Best Actress: Brie Larson, “Room”
Best Supporting Actor: Sylvester Stallone, “Creed”

'Mad Max: Fury Road' Named Best Film by National Board of Review
It has been a long time since the DRUDGE REPORT posted a story of its own. Today that changed.. the siren was blazing this morning with a headline that Leonardo DiCaprio was raped by a bear.. You had to click on the story to see that it was about a new movie with him as the star–no spoiler warning was given prior to the pronouncement of DiCaprio’s unfortunate scene in the upcoming film REVANANT..
This filed by Matt Drudge today:
The explicit moment from Oscar winning director Alejandro Inarritu has caused maximum controversy in early screenings. Some in the audience escaped to the exits when the Wolf of Wall Street met the Grizzly of Yellowstone

Tracy Morgan opens up about coma: He said he spoke to God on the other side
Yet more paranormal headlines making it into the mainstream.. this time from Tracy Morgan, who said during an interview he spoke to God while in his coma following a near fatal crash..
Morgan:
“You’re never going to be normal after you go through something like that. You don’t die for a few weeks and then come back to normal, trust me,” he said. “Something’s going to be missing, something’s going to be gained – you just got to live your life after that. But after surviving something like that, I’m probably never going to feel normal.”
Morgan said he “went to the other side” while he was in his coma and learned that his time on Earth was not quite up.“This is not something I’m making up,” Morgan said. “Do you know what God said to me? He said, ‘Your room ain’t ready. I still got something for you to do.’ And here I am, doing an interview with you.”
People will say what they will and judge how they might. But I will take a step back and just let this idea fester in my own brain, and hopefully yours too.
Did Tracy Morgan talk to God? Since we weren’t there, we will never be able to say. We all have a our own personal view of death and religion, God, and faith. Some of us believe. Some of us don’t. But what happens at the time of death if unknown to us, besides the scientific studies presented to date. When does the body die? That is changing.. When does the mind vanish? When does consciousness end? And does it end..? All questions that, quite frankly, we will ALL know the answers to one day.
But, for now, Tracy Morgan said he saw God.
A young woman died after her parents allegedly performed an exorcism to get rid of the "demon" inside her. The 22-year-old, named as Jaqueline Sanchez by media in Belize, Central America, died after she suffered a cardio respiratory arrest.
And this:
Local media also reported claims that her body had been “lifted” up in the air inside the church and she had spoken in a man’s voice.
They also suggested she had to be forcibly held down as they performed the religious ritual.
This goes along the theme lately of a large amount of exorcisms in the world, something we linked up yesterday.
But this time, a death has resulted from one gone wrong..
And how did she get possessed?
The ole’ faithful of demonic activity no less:
This led her parents to believe she had been “taken over” by spirits, after reports that she had played with a Ouija board.

The now famous dog duct tape photo that made its way around social media like wildfire.. Too fast. So much attention that now the person who posted it got arrested!
A woman has been charged with animal cruelty for allegedly posting a photo on Facebook last week showing a dog muzzled with electrical tape, officials said Monday. The post sparked outrage online, and went viral.
A Facebook user with an account registered to Katie Brown posted a photograph on her Facebook wall Friday of a dog that looks like a chocolate lab with electrical tape wrapped around its mouth and the message, “This is what happens when you dont (sic) shut up!!!”

The WIFI suicide..
A teenage schoolgirl was found hanging from a tree after she began suffering from an allergic reaction to WiFi, an inquest has heard.
Tragic Jenny Fry was left with crippling headaches, tiredness and bladder problems brought on by electro-hypersensitivity (EHS).
An inquest into her death heard how the 15-year-old’s mum Debra said her symptoms were caused because she was allergic to wireless internet connections at her school.
Jenny’s body was found hanging from a tree at Brooke Woods, near her home in Chadlington, Oxon., at 4.20pm on June 11.
GEORGE LUCAS HAS NOT BEEN ONLINE FOR 15 YEARS!
But Lucas won’t read that, or your comment below, because he also admitted in the interview that he has “assiduously avoided the Internet since 2000 — no Facebook, no Twitter, no e-mail even.” The first of the oft-derided Star Wars prequel movies, The Phantom Menace, was released in 1999, so that was probably indeed a good time to bail out.
It’s true.
Just imagine..
No cats.. no Janet Jackson nipplegate memes.. no Facebook.. no early Twitter.. no blogs..
What a sad 15 years!

At Texas State University, I teach an honors course called “Demonology, Possession, and Exorcism.” It’s not a gut course. My students produce research papers on topics that range from the role of sleep paralysis in reports of demonic attacks to contemporary murder cases in which defendants have claimed supernatural forces compelled them to commit crimes.
In fact, talk of demons isn’t unusual in Texas. The first day of class, when we watched a clip of an alleged exorcism at an Austin Starbucks, many of my students said that they’d seen similar scenes in the towns where they’d grown up.
In 2014, an exorcism took place outside of a Starbucks in Austin, Texas.
A few students even admitted their parents were nervous that they’d signed up for the class. Maybe these parents worried their kids would become possessed, or that studying possession in the classroom might make demons seem less plausible. (Perhaps it was a mix of both.)
Either way, these parents aren’t a superstitious minority: a poll conducted in 2012 found that 57% of Americans believe in demonic possession. Nonetheless, demons (invisible, malevolent spirits) and exorcism (the techniques used to cast these spirits out of people, objects or places) are often thought of as relics of the past, beliefs and practices that are incompatible with modernity. It’s an assumption based in a sociological theory that dates back to the 19th century called the secularization narrative. Scholars such as Max Weber predicted that over time, science would inevitably supersede belief in “mysterious forces.”
But while the influence of institutionalized churches has waned, few sociologists today would claim that science is eliminating belief in the supernatural. In fact, in the 40 years since the blockbuster film The Exorcist premiered, belief in the demonic remains as popular as ever, with many churches scrambling to adapt.
Exorcism’s golden age
So why has exorcism made a comeback? It may be that belief in the demonic is cyclical.
Historian of religion David Frankfurter notes that conspiracy theories involving evil entities like demons and witches tend to flare up when local religious communities are confronted with outside forces such as globalization and modernity.
Attributing misfortune and social change to hidden evil forces, Frankfurter suggests, is a natural human reaction; the demonic provides a context that can make sense of unfamiliar or complex problems.”
The golden age!
When exorcisms take place outside Starbucks and the Pope lays hands on people to rid them of demons.. The golden age indeed.
The paranormal’s golden age is potentially here as well. When mainstream news focuses like a laser beam on devilish subject matter and strange lights in the sky.
It’s a good time to be alive. And if you believe exorcisms are the true manifestation of evil, then to appears to be a prime time to be a demonic entity.

THANKSGIVING 2015 summary: This is what Americans are feeling this year
A
Public Religion Research Institute poll is gathering the facts. A good read ..
THANKSGIVING 2015 summary: This is what Americans are feeling this year
I missed this story a few days ago, but it’s important. The United States government is being sued by a woman for the return of ‘lost’ footage of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy..
Reporting from the UK GAURDIAN:
A woman whose grandfather shot a home video of the assassination of presidentJohn F Kennedy that has since been misplaced is suing the US government, demanding the film be returned or that she be paid $10m in compensation.
Gayle Nix Jackson filed the lawsuit in federal court on Saturday, one day before the 52nd anniversary of Kennedy’s death. The film was shot by her grandfather Orville Nix and shows the assassination in Dealey plaza in Dallas on 22 November 1963.
Jackson’s lawsuit claims the film is as important as the assassination footage captured by Abraham Zapruder with his movie camera. The federal government settled with Zapruder’s heirs in 1999 to purchase the film for $16m.
The claim states: “According to the Warren Commission, the Nix film is nearly as important as the Zapruder film, yet the public is mainly unaware of its significance.”
The Warren Commission conducted the government’s investigation of the shooting.
The footage was sold by Nix with an understanding that it would be returned 25 years later. It never was.. it was sold to UPI. UPI turned it over to the government. The public is unaware of this video, focusing more on the famed Zapruder film..
This video of Orville Nix is interesting.. take a look-see.. and go with the flow. And question more than you do.

This was posted to Art Bell’s Facebook page tonight.. Those following know he had a recent shooting incident take place on his property during a live show.. It would be conjecture to say any such similar event has occurred but it would appear something serious may have occurred..
Last night during his program he mentioned that he thought there was an intruder on his property before the show.. No further mention was made after his initial comment prior to interviewing Michio Kaku..

NATO member Turkey shot down a Russian warplane a "matter of seconds" after it violated the country's airspace near the Syrian border on Tuesday, U.S. defense officials told NBC News. "They were in Turkish airspace only 2 to 3 seconds, a matter of seconds" before the Turkish F-16s attacked, the officials said.

Good read for newer vegans: 10 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Went Vegan
Perhaps turkey week isn’t the best time to promote a healthy plant based diet, but here goes nothing.. Take a read to the link mentioned. So far as I journey deeper into a vegan lifestyle, everything on the list is true.. And then some.
Later I’ll find some good resources for people who want to maintain their health standards when they go from meat based to plant based.. After two solid weeks of being meet free I’m feeling detoxed and fresh, but had some moments where I upped certain vitamins to eliminate any possibility of deficiency.
The ultimate goal is to get your health through food. In our age it’s possible by weeding out he false prophets of GMO and fad foods..
There is a dilemma facing me this week. Thanksgiving. Will I eat turkey or not? I’m leaning towards the chance I’ll have one little morsel of tasty dark meat. Maybe. We will see. I can’t predict that at this time.
There’s a will? There’s a way.
Or whey.

Where's Thanksgiving's Horror Movie?
INVERSE has a great question..
It may be the one holiday that merely gets satirical horror ..
I think a good Pilgrim Zombie villain is in order.. Thanksgiving needs a bit of horror.
Maybe some short film makers will be up to the task that Hollywood has never been.
Gobble Gobble.
Where's Thanksgiving's Horror Movie?
DREAD CENTRAL gives us a list of the top movies for the winter season–horror with cold and chill as the background theme of the flick. The list here..
I disagree–you heard that right–with virtually the entire list.
The biggest problem is the lack of inclusion of my all time favorite snow/cold related movie: STORM OF THE CENTURY, by Stephen King. It’s the amazing near day-long experience, one that’s perfect for a night stuck in because of snow or a day held up because of closings.. Andre Linoge walking the streets of a town during a blizzard, looking for what he wants to go away. That’s scary. The list from DREAD CENTRAL, to me at least, not scary.
I am sure you have your favorite too..
Mine will always be the STORM..
2015′s great way to celebrate Thanksgiving: 12 hours of Art Bell
KABC in Los Angeles, the big Cumulus station that recently picked up the MIDNIGHT IN THE DESERT Art Bell stream, is offering up 12 hours of programming Thanksgiving that features the best of Art Bell’s radio program.
Perhaps even better news, the programming isn’t being picked at random or a computer, it’s from Bell himself.
BELL said, “We are thrilled to be back on the great 790 KABC, where we had great success. My loyal fans will love that I’m personally hand picking the best 12 hours of out-of-this-world radio.”
Operations Dir. DREW HAYES added, “This ART BELL special goes great with turkey and stuffing, and is the perfect program for families at home or traveling, to enjoy and be spellbound together.”

Gobble gobble.
Dolls of death.. dolls of doom.
Iraqi forces prevented a major Islamic State (previously ISIS/ISIL) attack as they found and disabled 18 booby-trapped dolls with explosives inside just north of the capital Baghdad. The plot targeted Shia Muslims going on an upcoming religious pilgrimage.
This from RT:
The diabolical plan was to scatter all the dolls alongside the road between Baghdad and Karbala during the Arbaeen pilgrimage, which is a Shia Muslim annual religious observance.
Millions of Shia Muslims walk the path every year. In 2014, there was a new record number of pilgrims, totaling 17.5 million people.
I attempt to recoil from news like this. On one hand, if it’s true, it’s depravity at its finest. And on the other side of the coin, it could always be state propaganda from someone who is trying to compel people with morality into a position of war theater.
Regardless, as a whole, there is something chilling about the perversion of children in this world–the suffering of children.. the theft of childhood.. the insanity of adults who warp the mind of the youth and make their pain on this planet great. The biggest crime a human can commit to anyone–I really believe–is to steal their innocence or their virtue..
Putting bombs in dolls is low.. But nothing new on this sickening planet.. There are times when the bad seems to outweigh the good. It is difficult but true to keep in mind: There are amazing people across this planet and of billions, mostly people who just want to enjoy their short lives..
ISIS shifts to ‘dark web’ to escape hacktivists
Islamic State militants are reportedly moving to the dark web as a way to protect their identities and content, after hundreds of websites and twitter accounts were taken down by hacktivists in the wake of last week’s Paris attacks.
ISIS shifts to ‘dark web’ to escape hacktivists
Grain of salt needed here.. but a little honesty from me
I often read about the ‘Inuit reports that the earth has wobbled,’ or shifted.. rumors online say that we just aren’t where we used to be. That the sun sets somewhere else..that the moon isn’t looking right in the sky anymore.
Scientists, when they actually talk about it, dismiss it all.. They use reason and logic to say most of these rumors are false..
The website ALL NEWS PIPELINE has been a mainstay in the conspiracy world online for years.. I read it with interest. I take it all with massive grains of salt but often sprinkle on some pepper to ignite my imagination.
November 20, there was a report on the site again talking about this Inuit rumor that the planet has shifted.. After offering up information on weather and showcasing PDFs of letters to Congress, the site asks:
What are they hiding? There are a variety of theories, including HAARP and the geoengineering and weather manipulation causing the atmospheric chaos being seen today. Some believe we are feeling the effects of the much-talked about Planet X. There is also the IduitElder warning of the “Earth shifting,” which in light of reports that came pouring in to the ANP comment section yesterday on this article, has many wondering if we are witnessing a magnetic pole shift could be the real culprit behind climate change and if this is the real reason for the government gag orders, the secrecy, and the refusal to provide Congress with the data they have issued a subpoena for.
ALL NEWS PIPELINE is a bit tough to read. Old style HTML coupled with lots of exclamation points and words..
But the gist is clear: The Earth’s position has changed, they say..
I read with MORE interest, the comments section. Such as this comment from someone named June:
Since the late 1990’s, myself and others have noticed that the Sun has shifted into it’s Fall position before it should.
This past summer, the Sun shifted into the Fall position on August 3. This is not normal. So it is not the Sun that is shifting, it is the earth. I’ve read that the magnetic north pole has moved. And since it has, so has the magnetic south pole. I live in NE Ohio, right below Lake Erie
Someone else said,
Sometimes I look up and wonder if I’m on the same planet. Looks like alien skies. It’s amazing and disturbing because I know it’s not supposed to look like that.
A user named JJ offered up reason:
My husband is a logger and I used his compass. Here in south Kentucky, north is north if I can trust this compass
I started paying attention to this whole earth shift rumor about four years ago.
Just a year ago, when I talked about the earth shift again on this website, I received an interesting comment from someone on the post.
There is a ton of information to consider, sift through.. but compel reason in your mind before just buying into climate conspiracy craziness or lunar lunacy.
And with that said, I will only offer up this last thing.
I have noticed some oddities, too.
Some strange … skies.
Over the past several years I have noticed what, well I just can’t describe it really, a certain shift in where the sun in the sky was compared to where it is now. And not just the seasonal changes the sun takes on.. I have some photographs taken this exact time of year in the past. When I see where the sunset was then compared to where it’s setting now, the exact date years later, it’s different. This summer, I noted a part of my house got sunlight that never quite had sunlight in the past.
Am I going crazy? Is this all really happening? I had thought my tin foil hat was secure, but perhaps some loosening has occurred on the skull grip over the past few years..
SOS to the Inuits.. were you right?

Updated: 17 Oklahoma earthquakes of 2.6 magnitude or greater recorded since Thursday's 4.7
The USGS recorded 17 Oklahoma earthquakes since the 4.7, including a 4.0 magnitude near Crescent, and the 4.1 magnitude near Medford.
The quakes recorded as low as 2.6 magnitude (two Thursday near Cherokee and Medford), but also include six recorded earlier today:
- 2.7 magnitude 6:07 a.m. about 9 miles south-southwest of Cherokee
- 2.8 magnitude 9:42 a.m. about 15 miles north-northwest of Fairview
- 3.1 magnitude 3:11 p.m. about 15 miles east of Cherokee
- 3.2 magnitude 2:06 a.m. about 18 miles north-northwest of Fairview
- 3.5 magnitude 12:12 a.m. about 9 miles southwest of Cherokee
- 3.5 magnitude 5:22 a.m. about 9 miles southwest of Cherokee.
Remember the good ole’ days when people who said gas well fracking would cause earthquakes were called loons and conspiracy theorists? Environmentalist wackos and alarmists who didn’t deserve press? I remember those days… Happy to have been one of the few who raised alarms.
And now with this many earthquakes in the state that once had so little, this news:
The Oklahoma Corporation Commission announced Friday plans to shut off four disposal wells within 3 miles of the earthquake activity near Crescent on Thursday. Two quakes were recorded, one of which was a magnitude 4.0.
The plan also called for a 50 percent volume reduction at seven Arbuckle disposal wells. Operators at other nearby wells also were put on notice to be prepared for possible changes in operation.
Updated: 17 Oklahoma earthquakes of 2.6 magnitude or greater recorded since Thursday's 4.7
MAYER SLAYERS COMING!?
News from inside the world of Yahoo!.. the exclamation point may soon get bigger over the tenure of Tumblr Gobbler Melissa Mayer..
There are troubles in the boardroom–troubles that may portend the end for the acting Mayer..
More:
There have been a number of business decisions, investments, and acquisitions being questioned as of late.. in a very public way.. Questions that showcase risky movies that the board may deem as too much..
The main question: The purchase plan of Alibaba..
As it currently stands, no indications from Yahoo have suggested the company is re-thinking its Alibaba spin-off plan.
One Yahoo investor told us that the board and Yahoo’s management team appears not to be thinking about this as owners of the company — and therefore stewards of shareholder capital — but as a management team that simply wants to keep itself in place.
In other words, this investor sees Yahoo’s board in something resembling self-preservation mode rather than acting in the best interests of the company over the long term.
Mayer is also facing the consequences of her own rule.. The company is in no better shape now financially than it was before she took over. The acquisition of Tumblr seemed strange at the time it occurred and now even more so.. remember the amount of people who flocked off of the social network then?
As I said then, I will say again. The fact Yahoo! buys something is a virtual online death sentence .. eventually. And just because so many people use Tumblr? Doesn’t mean much. Lots of people used and loved Geocities too.. Nothing is forever. With Marissa Mayer, less things are forever faster..
Time is ticking.
The boardroom is waiting.
Will bedlam hit the board? Or will Mayer live to slay another day?
Tumblr Fumblr: Calling all bloggers, I need help with something
I have another site on Tumblr: http://scarystoriestouploadinthedark.com/
The problem: Nothing I posted recently is visible. There is a post dated July 19 2015 that features a short video called THE COFFER. I deleted this video. But it will not go away.. and by staying there it seems to be blocking all new content from being visible. Nothing posted after July of this year is even visible, something I just noticed in the last 24 hours.
Can anyone help me with this?
Send me a message on Tumblr if you use it or email me at bsmolock@gmail.com if you know a solution.. Otherwise I am befuddled. Dumbfounded.. confused.
FYI: the archive (http://scarystoriestouploadinthedark.com/archive) shows new posts. But the actual interface of the site gets stuck showing the July 19th posting of this video.
Somewhat haunting actually.. perhaps SCARY STORIES TO UPLOAD IN THE DARK is a bit cursed?
Reports from inside the Mali hotel where terrorist struck
Gunmen who raided a Malian hotel hollered “Allahu akbar” as they sprayed bullets on tables of people who were gathered for breakfast, a witness said.
The attackers did not say a word to anyone as they opened fire Friday morning, employee Tamba Couye said.
They shot at “anything that moved” as terrified patrons dashed for cover all over the hotel, he said.
By the time United Nations forces got to the site, bodies were scattered across the floors..
Belgium lockdown//
Prime Minister Charles Michel said the decision to raise the threat level was taken “based on quite precise information about the risk of an attack like the one that happened in Paris … where several individuals with arms and explosives launch actions, perhaps even in several places at the same time.”
Belgium has raised its terrorism level to ‘4′.. that indicates a serious and ‘imminent’ threat..

This Stormy Star Means Alien Life May Be Rarer Than We Thought
And this: There’s a red dwarf about 35 light-years from here that’s spewing powerful, life crushing solar flares into space. These types of stellar objects are fairly common, leading to speculation that our galaxy is less habitable than we thought.
I don’t know if I buy into the argument that the universe is teaming with life.. And likewise don’t buy that there’s none.
But what if–what if!–we really are the only planet in the entire universe that has life! What if it’s us.. Just us. And accidental mishap causing a creation of life and eventually creatures who love and hate.
Perhaps the idea we are alone is a million times more frightening than the prospects we are not..

Saudi court sentences Palestinian poet to death for apostasy
Saudi Arabia’s justice system is based on Sharia Islamic law and its judges are clerics from the kingdom’s ultra conservative Wahhabi school of Sunni Islam. In the Wahhabi interpretation of Sharia, religious crimes including blasphemy and apostasy incur the death penalty.
Oh … Don’t forget they are an ally of the U.S..

The website BLOODY DISGUSTING today reminded me of something I completely forgot about from my youth.. the Freddy Kreuger 1-900 number..
Like Brad Miska, I never called when I was a kid. I remember my cousins and I watching these commercials late at night and thinking about doing it.. but that was the 20th century. The time of TOLL calls and no internet.. such a strange and different time compared to now.
Nonetheless, check out the article from B-D that also includes plenty of Youtube nostalgia of people actually calling the number.
So .. did anyone ever win that ‘contest’ to appear in a movie??

IT WAS THE BEST OF TIMES. IT WAS THE END OF TIMES
AS though the news of the world wasn’t freaky enough, Pope Francis is adding fodder to the already mighty load of end times porn that has overloaded our society from all religious perspectives.. From a report November 15 (I missed it until now), this information:
Francis unequivocally recognized the Islamist ideology behind the attacks, denouncing the use of God’s name to justify the brutal attacks as “blasphemy.”
Commenting on Sunday’s Scripture readings, the Pope said that Jesus’ preaching about the end of the world contains “apocalyptic elements, like war, famine, and cosmic catastrophes.”
“In those days,” Francis repeated, “the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will be falling from the sky, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.”
This year has seen a plethora of information concerning the Pope and threats to the Vatican from ISIS terrorists.. Since the French horror last week, the United States State Department has issued a warning to Americans to stay away from the Vatican.. From that report:
The November 18 notice is billed as a “Security Message for U.S. Citizens” regarding a potential for terrorist attacks, and arrived punctually into the email boxes of all Americans registered with the embassy, including that of Breitbart News.
Along with the Vatican, the State Department singles out the Duomo (cathedral) and La Scala opera house in Milan. It goes on to note that general venues “such as churches, synagogues, restaurants, theatres, and hotels” in both Rome and Milan are possible targets as well.
The embassy notice says: “Terrorist groups may possibly utilize similar methods used in the recent Paris attacks,” meaning bombs and assault rifles.
If we make it through December we’ll be (hopefully) fine..
I think.
This end of the world talk.. well, we have heard it before for sure. Countless times after all..
And each time a religious figure pointed out that “Jesus may come today,” it was tomorrow..
The earth has been through very ghastly days before.
People have faced down villains of dramatic proportions.
It would seem that those days are again coming.
Ignoring religious connotations, I will only say this: It would appear there is something strange in the air of late.. Something that seems foreboding. I have felt this tingle since the late summer. Back then, September was rumored to be the ‘end times’ for the planet. Then, I highly dismissed those claims and wrote articles on here protesting the very inclusion with such rumors into your lives.
But since that time, things have increasingly become more tense.
Chinese vs US.. Russia vs US.. Russia vs ISIS.. ISIS vs rebels.. Rebels vs Assad. China vs ISIS.. Saudis vs Assad. US vs… ?
The plotline is written.. the table is set. The deck chairs feel arranged.
And yes, it would seem like the chess game of world war is being played. Pawns in a larger picture are now picked and we are just moved away from … what?
One more time.
If we make it through December we’ll be (hopefully) fine..

Who’ll love the devil?…
Who’ll song his song?…
Who will love the devil and his song?…
I’ll love the devil!…
I’ll sing his song!…
I will love the devil and his song!… Who’ll love the devil?… Who’ll kiss his tongue?… Who will kiss the devil on his tongue?… I’ll love the devil!… I’ll kiss his tongue!…
I will kiss the devil on his tongue!…
Who’ll love the devil?…
Who’ll sing his song?…
I WILL LOVE THE DEVIL AND SING HIS SONG!…
These were the words being sung as the Paris terror attack began in the packed concert hall in France.. The band was from the United States called Eagles of Metal Death. The song is ‘Kiss the devil.’
I offer it as fodder for thought, not really food.. but fodder. Fodder perhaps for debate. There have been more than a few people who have pointed to these lyrics in hopes of finding some metaphysical connection between the earthly terror and the otherworldly forces some believe are fighting in the other realm.
BUT BUT BUT..
take a breather from the Bible.
Get this shocker.. the EAGLES OF DEATH METAL? They aren’t really a ‘death metal’ band as some sites have claimed.. their name and even the lyrics of this song are parody.. They are actually parodying bands who sing about Satan and fans who like them..
But silly facts don’t matter.
So keep on .. condemn the band..
IT SHALLETH ONLY MAKETH THEM STRONGER
