The Quiet Zone in West Virginia--where cell phones and WIFI are nonexistent for 13,000 square miles..

There are no physical signs you’ve entered the National Radio Quiet Zone, a 13,000-square-mile area that covers the eastern half of West Virginia.

Interesting..

There is a lot  of ‘noise’ .. but real and white noise. Sometimes you can almost feel the electronic bursts of WIFI and cell towers flowing through your body like a cancerous disease.

But not in this location in West Virginia..

….though maybe some other things lurk in this same quiet zone..?

Nights like this, grateful for Art Bell’s DARK MATTER..

This is Typhoon Danas. 

It’s about to hit Northern Japan..

In regards to the article you posted, in high school all my classes started switching over to reading and math courses geared to doing well on the state tests. That's all we learned over and over. How to solve common questions on those tests. What we were learning bored me. It didn't make me think. It required no real skill or thought process. It was the same shit over and over every year. Now wonder we are so stupid. I used to love learning before it became all about the state tests.

Thanks for the message. I know what you mean..

Everything in education seems to be just “processed” anymore, like McDonalds food. The same education everywhere.. no matter the class size or background of the student. I cannot even imagine many schools teaching local history anymore.. nothing relating to things that matter to the area a child is growing up in.. 

I am not an education expert—though I have debated as of late whether I should go back to school for a certificate to teach—so until then I cannot really exclaim I know the problems and errors within our system. 

But I can say this.. what we are doing is not working. We are raising a generation shaky on basics, and almost absent many fundamentals that other nations have—and our collective hind end is being handed to us with a big giant bow on it..

Again.. something needs to be done to alleviate the masses of the asses, and bring the herd up to speed on what really matters. 

A 21st century style of teaching … something else needs to be done in the modern era..

And maybe it already started and I missed the beginning—perhaps others out there with a subject matter expertise on such things can enlighten me and give me hope. Until then… adults in the US of A will just be plain out dumber than the rest of the world..

It’s a melancholy type of day..

This song is about John Lennon. But for some reason, especially this time of year, it reminds me of some very important people in my own personal life that passed away.. There are lots of empty gardens out there.. I know you know of some, too

US adults are dumber than the average human

WASHINGTON — It’s long been known that America’s school kids haven’t measured well compared with international peers. Now, there’s a new twist: Adults don’t either. 

US adults are dumber than the average human

An interesting video.. I actually was not aware that kids as young as 13 were subjected to solitary confinement as much as they apparently are.. this video explains and demonstrates that point through some hard hitting scenes..

And now the ACLU has called on the Justice Department to disallow the punishment 
(MORE HERE)

Human Rights watch called for a ban a while back..

And really, there does not seem to be any overall public benefit to providing solitary torture for teenagers ..

In a nation that seems fine with disappearing people, giving drones the ability to decide who to kill, and using weapons to stop tourists from looking at Yellowstone, I don’t think this noble goal has much immediate traction..

But it should..

Again.. I never knew it was as prevalent as it is.

You’re looking at a very close image of a Chicken McNugget.

Not lovin’ it: McDonalds “Chicken” McNuggets contain 60% fat, bone, and cartilage.. It’s not big shock, if you have ever had to eat the so-called food product before, you’ll know that it goes far beyond mystery meat.. it’s a meatless mystery—and now we see it’s filled with bones, veins, and all the tissue that couldn’t be served up in a better place. 

In August of this year, Natural News went in depth in research of these mysterious food like objects..

Some shutdown news I have not been hearing much about ..

If the government shutdown continues, the United States nuclear Regulatory Commission will stop operating.. They will run out of funds this week.. One scientist is now on record saying “Yes, I’m worried.”

After lots of ‘bad press’ and even more confusion, the Justice Department has restored AMBER ALERT .. It was never ‘down’ to begin with.. a simple redirect occurred that took you away from the still live page.. clearly a staged takedown to cause an effect—which it, but it backfired ..

This land is your land.. but no one ever said the water was! The FEDs now trying to shut down the OCEAN due to shutdown!

China warns that the clock is ticking on the debt ceiling and default date.. If China calls, will we listen? They own much of what will default.. They don’t want their neighborhood to devolve.. Their investment needs to keep some net value. With Red China weighing in, let’s see how fast they pass..
