CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF CHAOS

While many slept, they missed breaking news events of epic proportions. It felt like the scene of a BATMAN  movie, except no one is coming from Wayne Mansion to save the day..

A brief timeline of events as they have transpired so far:

• Shortly after midnight East Coast time, a campus police office at MIT was shot killed.. Gunshots were reported on the campus and an alert was issued on the website .. the situation was called “active” and dangerous by officials


• Shorter before 3am EDT, multipe explosions were reported to have been used against police at an incident in Watertown, Massachusetts. Speculation quickly connected the MIT police killing with the explosions in the town.. 


• Around 4:30 AM, news broke that a suspect was on the loose in Watertown, and that the person matches the description of Suspect 2 in the Boston Marathon bombings (the one with the white ball cap).. 


• At 5:30 AM, news broke that one suspect from Monday’s terror attack in Boston was dead after the night of violence in Massachusetts. The other, however, is on the loose. Police said he should be considered armed and dangerous.


• Shortly before 6am, it was reported that the MBTA transit service has been shut down until further notice


• Residents have been told to keep their doors locked and not to leave


• The town of Watertown, MA, is being considered a ‘hot zone,’ according to NBC


• MIT classes are canceled today..

This is a quickly developing story.. 

Police are beginning to ponder whether the suspect still alive is not own armed and dangerous, but potentially a walking bomb with an IED strapped to his person..

The T just got shut down. Wow. (ht Evan)

Wow is right..

A wild one.. One marathon bombing suspect dead and another on the loose after a night of violence..

While I was sleeping

Chaos, madness, and violence gripped Boston.. And one marathon bombing suspect is dead an another on the loose.. Unbelievable news.. video here..

Hey, I just read what you wrote about conspiracy theories regarding the Boston Marathon. It was such a breath of fresh air to see, especially on tumblr.

Thank you for the kind words. I actually received a few other ‘less nice’ responses to my post on that topic.. Your brief message reminded me that there are some good people out there in bloggerland. Keep on reading, and thank you again.

Gosnell Employee: I Saw Ten Babies Breathe Before They Were Killed

The final prosecution witness against Kermit Gosnell, the abortion doctor on trial for the capital murder of seven babies and one adult patient, was Kareema Cross, a former employee of Gosnell’s. Thursday Cross testified that she saw ten babies breathe before Gosnell killed them.

Pretty horrific stuff, don’t you think?

But yet another day of empty media seats and hardly any coverage.. 
I just don’t get it. This does not have to even boil down  to a pro-life vs pro-choice issue.. I think both sides can reasonably agree on the premise that we are all anti-murder.

The trial thus far has featured a strong prosecution.. this was damning today.. but I still cannot get over the testimony of the maintenance man who became tired of his job because he had to constantly clean up baby body parts ..

Teen: I Am Not the Boston Marathon Bomber - ABC News

Hey everybody

Maybe we can tone down these conspiracy theories? Someone who I consider to be very smart just emailed me what she said was a photograph of the dead Newtown Connecticut principal at the Boston Marathon before the bombing happened. The picture is a fraud, a well orchestrated fraud, and a lot of gullible people will no doubt believe this as of now circulates, as my intelligent friend did..

I understand the propensity to blame and label everything a false flag, I get it. We should question everything and research everything is well.. But it does it make sense to conclude that the Boston Marathon massacre is a false flag when a name of a suspect hasn’t even been announced?

And it is even more disgusting to get stupid emails like I got today of something completely fictitious..

We all need to just calm down a little bit, let the authorities do their work, and let them find who they feel is the suspect in this act of terror..

Oh and one last thing: I am fully aware that people watch a lot of crime stories on TV, and they may even DVR them for later viewing.. But just because you do that and just because you might be an expert on what happens on CSI, that does not mean that you can comb through photographs from the Boston Marathon online and find who you believe that the suspect..

I have noticed that there are a lot of people circling most likely completely innocent people in photographs and putting a little comments next to their faces saying “Could this be the bomber?”

Just call your britches out there everybody, if you want to scream about a false flag at least wait until authorities they may suspect…

We’re on shaky ground..
A person is in the hospital after a sinkhole opened in Chicago in the early AM hours and quickly grew.

Latest reports also indicate there are three cars already swallowed up by it..

Beware Ares

The big Texas explosion at the fertilizer plant actually registered as an earthquake..

While no cause of the explosion has yet been reported, some are already comparing the explosion to the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing or to occurrences in Iraq..

The dead and injured are being counted in West, Texas today. And grim numbers are sure to be released throughout the coming hours..

This indeed has been a bad month for America.. Beware April, or Ares, the god of war.

‘The whole street is gone’: Bloodied eyewitnesses describe Texas explosion horror

(Photo: Rod Aydelotte / AP)

Shocked eyewitnesses have told of the overwhelming power of the Texas fertilizer plant explosion and expressed fears that there could be many fatalities in the small town that was rocked by the blast.

“The school’s gone, the apartments are gone,” a young man in a blood-soaked t-shirt told reporters. “It’s just horrible. Not something you ever want to have to deal with.”

More on this developing story.

Many are feared dead .. Many are injured..
Here’s video from Texas..

One report said it felt like the earth shook as the blast was felt far and wide..

As many as 70 may be dead..

Hundreds injured.. and now the 2,700 people of the town of West are being told to evacuate due on fears over ammonia in the air..
The scene is reminiscent of a war zone..
It tragic.

And oddly enough it happened before.. On April 16, 1947, a fertilizer explosion destroyed a Texas town..

Nothing to wish upon a shooting star

I saw a shooting star tonight and couldn’t think of anything to wish for.

Make sure this doesn’t happen to you. Now is the time to arm yourselves with wishes. It’s the Lyrid Meteor shower time!

Boston lunacy: Looking for clues in the sands of time

Yet again, we as a nation are going through some weird deja vu.. A terrorist attack in a major city, shock across the nation.. and then powder and chemicals being sent through the mail.. evacuations and bomb scares from sea to shaky sea. This is America, 2013.. Not 2001. Then it was a much worse attack with a target of Osama bin Laden by the end of the day. This time we still search for someone. Then it was anthrax, with a scientist being blamed and never charged, and he eventually died from the planet .. this time it’s ricin, and we already arrested someone. If we can believe media reports that is.

And should we?

We had a roller coast of emotions today. This morning the trail was ‘cold’ and had run dry. By the afternoon CNN was pounding its chest in celebration of breaking news that “dark skinned bomber” had been arrested. The problem was that he was not arrested. No one was arrested. There was no arrest. Instead rumors being garbled up by everyone quickly …CNN had to back off its story about their dark skinned mail, just as the New York POST had to back off its own embarrassment with their “Saudi national” suspect the night of the bombing. For the record, there is still an AP dispatch of the ‘arrest’  Wonder how long this will be lasting in their archives.

And who can forget about the instant conspiracy theory industry whenever a major event occurs. Alex Jones is rampaging across the airwaves .. he is combing through photos and today on his show said he found Navy Seals—or what he thought of as people acting like Navy Seals—all dressed the same.. with backpacks.. I linked some of those interesting photos already here. 

Last night on the Sean Hannity Fox Noise network program, Hannity and ‘respected’ expert Mark Fuhrman wondered aloud if we should be taking a second glance at people who buy more than one pressure cooker in their lives, even reminding viewers that those new objects of war have lifetime guarantees. 

But just when you thought lunacy was only abundant not he right wing? Just go left young man and you’ll find just as much. Actor Jay Mohr blamed guns—but on the bright side he didn’t blame pressure cookers. And SALON just went all out, saying they hope that the bomber turns out to be a white male.

Yes indeed, we are living through lunacy.

Conspiracy theorists vs media windbags that want to be first place.. FOX pulling the FAMILY GUY while their news station jumped on the Saudi national original villain. 

What have we become, my sweetest friends?
Everyone I know gets questioned in the end.

Just like the hero from the Boston Marathon, Carlos Arredondo, who now is in the headlines of the day because he was questioned by the FBI and they took some items.

Indeed. What have we become…
