The supermoon chase
Sunday, June 23, 2013

Nik Wallenda just crossed the Grand Canyon without incident..
When it was over I felt like the security guards at the end of the TRUMAN SHOW an quickly switched channels for something else.
Though I took note of the slick placement of a 10:20pm season premiere of NAKED AND AFRAID. Good try, Discovery Channel, good try..
Feinstein warns Snowden: 'The chase is on'
Intentional intrigue developing this weekend..
And to think you thought the highlight was going to be the man crossing the gorge at the Grand Canyon on a wire… Try flying all over the world evading the intelligence agencies of the United States government …

Edward Snowden left Hong Kong, in a plane bound for somewhere.. Cuba? Venezuela? He’s on the move..
It’s certainly not the first time someone ran with the shadows of the night. Pat Benatar becomes his soundtrack, from about 30 years in the past..
The best I could come up with: Running with the Shadows of the Flight
The Snowden saga
He may go to Venezuela.. Cuba… He has tickets to ride but the United States government wants him..
The NY TIMES has the full dish on why Hong Kong didn’t help the USA, and how Wikileaks and a man named ‘Harrison’ is currently with Edward Snowden on his voyage somewhere..
Big developing story..

Science fiction.. predicting the future?
How about … the present has become science fiction.

Tats and gas masks.. Audrey Hepburn never looked better
A friend of mine just told me that she just got a new tattoo of Audrey Hepburn wearing a gas mask. And she told me because she said I was one of the few people who would appreciate it. I am so happy and glad to know that I am one of those few people!
And it is an amazing tattoo..

U.S. engineers inspect possible leak at Hanford nuclear site
This seems to be a must read for all of Washington, America, and the world..
U.S. engineers inspect possible leak at Hanford nuclear site
Wow…
Amazing video: This boy, age 3, has heard his father’s voice for the first time ever. And the video of it is amazing and heartwarming.. This is the good side of trans-humanism.. the kind of robotic and scientific work that will add years to our lives and give us health and amazing advances.. The bad side? There are lots of examples of the bad side. But for the sake of Grayson Clamp, we will only say watch for this video for a bit of hope in our world.. we need it.
And if you don’t tear up watching this, you’re not a human, let alone a transhuman.

Field of screams: Some believe that a ghostly presence made itself known on Tuesday at the College World Series.. according to reports — and video evidence— University of North Carolina players were in the outfield attempting to catch a ball when suddenly two appeared to trip over nothing..Media sources are having fun laughing about the trip up, but if you watch the video, it seems somewhat unexplainable. Science and reason should prevail. But I for one have no reason to understand why these two players flopped the way they did. What I noticed is that we may have funny little headlines about ghosts, but no one seems to have tried to get the players statements on what exactly happened at the College World Series..
Another reason that it’s a good time to reexamine our drug policy in this nation.. Ray Martin McFeters is 73 years old, and he faces prison time for pot possession..
HERE GOES THE GUARDIAN: Revealed: the top secret rules that allow NSA to use US data without a warrant
Fisa court submissions show broad scope of procedures governing NSA’s surveillance of Americans’ communication
Normally government dumps info on a Friday. In this case, the government is probably dreading Friday GUARDIAN runs. Each time the information being revealed about the United States spy program becomes more and more interesting..

Investigators want missile theory probed in '96 TWA Flight 800 crash
A group of whistleblowers have come forward in a new documentary, breaking their silence about the real investigation results from the TWA Flight 800 crash.
Very interesting story…
Conspiracy theories coming back.

Dead bees, drugged Americans, and the misery of stress..
Fireflies and summer nights. . and memories of when they were both magical. Happy solstice.
The solstice.. and the longest day of the year is upon us.
This is something magical about summer nights.. the notion that it doesn’t get dark until 9pm or so in the middle of the summer season adds to the mystery. Also adding to the strange feeling of joy, love, teenage fun, and laughter: Those fast cars with the tops down, motorcycles without helmets, and fireflies littering the night sky.
But I noticed something different this year: Less fireflies than normal. It could just be my little place on the planet lacking them so far.. maybe not enough heat has broiled and boiled the landscape yet. But by now?? We’d see them..
I can only speculate on the cause. Bees are collapsing due to —something> Monsanto? Other animals are having a tough time escaping whatever affliction is being placed on them by whomever.
So if fireflies are next, just as the monarch butterly started to be about two years ago, it would only make logical sense. I certainly hope not.
I recall summer nights long ago, living in my little home town of Centralia, PA, when I would be accompanied in my childhood by my then teenage brother and sister, with their friends, and run into a large field where hundreds of fireflies just sort of hung out all night. I did the whole childhood collection of fireflies in jars.. and now? Those jars are empty.
Those fireflies just don’t seem to be there anymore..
