A man describes waking up during a surgery

He said it was a nightmare. I can only imagine. And hope I never experience it. This is a deep fear in me.. and if you think about it long enough it will be a fear for you too.

Forget SOPA: Enter CISPA. The House just approved it. Obama said he will veto it. But he said he'd veto things before and didn't.. Watch this one..

Just when UFO enthusiasts thought they got proof.. in comes the skeptics with facts. Some thought this image showed a space ship near the sun. Others with degrees and most likely huge school loan bills say is a collection of cosmic rays.

So who do you trust.. hubba hubba hubba.. who do you trust?

Just when you thought you were getting ahead of the game. . . comes this study

Sure, my pudding expires December 21 2012 and lots of other people think people in general will, too. But we can’t lose hope. Fukushima may have blasted the planet with extreme radiation.. others worry about our online rights being suddenly stripped with the next bill that has too long of an acronym to even understand anymore. And the weather is crazy, isn’t it? Slightly maddening cows hopefully didn’t get into our meat supply, even though South Korea banned our imports. We will still eat them. Beef, it’s what for dinner. 20 years later you may go mad, too.

But all that aside, life isn’t that bad, right?

Enter this study: The planet Earth is ready to face a century of disasters.

That’s right.. not just a few weeks, or a month.. or a year or two. No, this report goes all the way: A whole century. But the time humans make it to the 22nd, if we should be so lucky as a species, generations may look back on us in 2012 and say ‘these poor schmucks didn’t know what was about to hit them!’

The Royal Society seems to know. They say world population needs to be ‘stabalised’ (British spelling) in order to take awayeth from the rich nations and giveth to the poor nations.  Yes, indeed. Agenda 21 anyone? Perhaps conspiracy theories of population control are right after all?

What surprised me was that this report didn’t talk much about the most pressing issue set to face our world in the next 20 or so years: Water. Just peruse your local video rental store…..oh wait they are all shut down… Go to Netflix, you won’t find these in the local RedBox: 5 documentaries that you must see to understand the water crisis that we face—in our lifetime.. 

But instead of worrying about clean water and air… let’s frack. Seriously.. Fracking make it all go away.

But it does seem to cause an increase in manmade earthquakes, doesn’t it? If you care. Most of the fracking in rural areas anyway. And what person REALLY cares about the rural area anyway. 

Besides the Obama administration, which wants to limit what farmhands can do. 

Little House on the Prairie. Now regulated!?

Get me Bill Gates! I need a vaccine.

So what is he thinking.. the knowing eyes… will he return? Will he stick to shortwave.. Ham is his handle and Coast is the past? Interesting new photo of Art Bell posted tonight by Mr. Bell himself on his Facebook page. Radio equipment in the back, apparently not getting dusty and actually quite clean after the 2011 fire extinguisher incident.


So now what?
Until we know, you can find him hamming it up on Echolink, if you have the technological knowledge to do so.

ShortFormBlog: US officials confirm 4th domestic case of mad-cow disease

shortformblog:

The diseased animal “at no time presented a risk to the food supply or human health,” the USDA says. Officials discovered the animal at a rendering facility in central California, which they have not chosen to name. During a briefing in Washington, USDA chief veterinarian John Clifford assured…

At no time.. At no time.. at no time.

No risk at all to food?… No risk.

No risk.

Saying it over and over again makes it all more true, right?

ACLU: It looks like there is slick little trick brewing in Congress. Supporters of locking people up without charge or trial are getting ready to play yet another trick on the American people.

I am following this story.. you should too: Suspicious stain found in basement search for Etan Patz..

I don’t know where the case is going, but I can only imagine how emotional it is for the family.. the family that probably never got over the day that Etan Patz vanished. 

How do you deal with this type of tragedy? Some may say just end your own life.. but what about the chances that your child may return.. and you’d miss it. Or the chances your child’s abductor may soon be found, decades later?

Are two mysteries linked? I don't know but it's a compelling possibility..

The cycle of destruction? Could it be that there is a common denominator between colony collapse and autism? Birds and the bees and the kids and the trees.. we are all connected after all.. So why wouldn’t chemicals hit us all, too..?

Sad news tonight.. Jonathan Frid, the actor who played Barnabas Collins on Dark Shadows has died.. too bad he couldn’t make it to the Johnny Depp movie premiere, or maybe good he couldn’t.. I have odd feelings about the Depp DARK SHADOWS..Tim Burton and Co. may have outdone themselves.Or just worked to freak us all out yet again.. HorrorReportCOM But as for Barnabas, no was better than Jonathon Frid.. Good show, Mr. Frid. You were the best soap opera vampire of all time.

Parody photo. Real headline and news story: The Vatican is ordering a “crackdown” on “radical” nuns in the United States, you know, the type that have the audacity to not wear habits or challenge bishops. 

Wonder how the crackdown will go. And what exactly occurs during a 21st Century Catholic crackdown is anyone’s guess.. most likely won’t be the same as one that occurred to women in the 1st. Just a hunch.
