My experience attempting to quit Sirius XM service

Art Bell was taken off INDIE 104. All of his shows for download have been deleted. You can read my epic updates on WWW.HORRORREPORT.COM if you care to know more about this situation. But with it all being over, I decided to end my Sirius XM Service.

If only it was just that easy..

First off.. I promised myself years ago to never sign up for satellite radio—then Art decided to host and I broke my terrestrial radio self-commandment.

After spending over a half hour on the phone, fighting about hidden fees and little early cancellation costs, I will command myself again: NEVER SIGN UP FOR PAY RADIO. I get that companies want to make money.. and I understand I am canceling before my ‘one year of service.’ And now they know that they have one of the worst companies ever—at least in terms of canceling service—that I have ever dealt with…

Here is the kicker that put me over the edge.. I was asked for an explanation on why I was quitting. I explained the obvious, very calm… The nice woman from somewhere on this planet asked if she wanted me to find shows similar to Dark Matter if it would help keep my service. I said sure, be my guest.  Six minutes later she came back and asked if I listen to music—obviously her search ended up in a Black Hole.   She put me on hold again.. when she came back, she said she wanted me to understand that me quitting is not her company’s fault, but that is was “Clyde Lewis’ own decision to end Ground Zero.” 
I was floored.
First off, I explained, Clyde Lewis didn’t host DARK MATTER, and I further explained that there was a separate issue which forced Ground Zero off of satellite radio .. She was legitimately confused as to what I was saying.  I mean, if you’re going to spout Jess-written talking points, at least don’t get them confused with each other.
This also tells me some folks have been ending their service since Clyde Lewis is gone, too…

At a certain point, after my early fees and fees and fees and hidden fees and pretend costs, I ended up with $111.11 back—ironic since it was 11/11 that Art’s shows had all been taken off of Sirius. BUT THEN she told me an extra $12 had to come off for some other reason…. I didn’t even fight at this point. I just wanted my money back.. and they have it, and I want it.

And finally.. the final bombed dropped when I ended the call. She said, “thank you, and you should see your money in 10 to 15 business days.”
WHAT!?
Click. On her end.
I better get this money back.
I really better..

Smoke em if you get em: Miley Cyrus lights up a joint on stage.. Or cigarette.. Well she was in Amsterdam.. But what really was ‘em?


MORE MILEY: She covers herself in metallic silver. 

Pope Francis embraces man who is severely disfigured.. The image is touching, and it’s being shown throughout the world today.. The man suffers from neurofibromatosis, which causes tumors and pain.. Pope Francis showing the world what it means to be a true religious leader..

Media accounts seem shocked that the Pope not only embraced this man but also “kissed” him. That shock made me wonder if we have completely lost our humanity.This man, and others who have other similar issues, are people. They deserve respect, and love.. 

The Pope exemplifies what we all should do with the poor, the downtrodden, and the rejected.. 

Whether you believe in God or not, it’s clear: The Pope is a light in the darkness of the planet right now.

Reports claim that the destruction in the Philippines from Haiyan is ‘absolute bedlam’.. Red Cross workers are describing the horrendous scene on the ground that they are seeing.. Hundreds of thousands of people are displaced and one town of 40,000 people is called Guiuan is said to be largely destroyed.. Even more alarming, the BBC reports that the city of Baco n the Oriental Mindoro province is 80% under water.. that town has 35,000 people in it. I believe with numbers as harrowing as that, the death toll may rise substantially higher than 10,000..
We do know this: Body bags being rushed in.

There are some attempts for rescue victims from the storm still taking place.. Fear and starvation in the Philippines as food mobs are already attacking aid trucks..

The troubling situation with Haiyan is not over. There is Midweek trouble brewing for the Philppines as a new tropical system gets organized..

An expert debunks YouTube video that purports a microwave beam made Haiyan stronger.. It was none other than “Dutch Sinse” .. and he took to Facebook to defend his accusation of a manmade weather system..
Here is the Dutchsinse video in question..

The Philippines turns into hell on earth.. Some reports have said that the survivors of Haiyan have been said to be walking like zombies across the destroyed landscape, in search of food.. even more, food water, and medical supplies are dangerously short.

Art Bell now actively expressing his anger with Sirius XM executives.

Bell is awesome.. he always ends up hating every employer he had. He reminds me of the main character of the movie OFFICE SPACE, who just decides to quit his job because he wants to.

PG-13 movies are now more violent than R-rated '80s flicks, a study concludes

But to a degree, it’s obvious. Imagine the Friday the 13th movies with SAW-like special effects. Back then, some R rated movies would have been either banned or rated X.

why did you copy my theme?

I did not. I downloaded the Ashley theme by Jxnblk. And used it. As maybe you did too.. I also made my own logo and own top header. So … I did not steal your theme, no more than 12,000 other people did who are also using the Ashley Theme.

So I don’t quite get what you are talking about

The photo pictured here is an AP image from Jim Weber of 83-year-old Jim Brown, a veteran who served in both Vietnam and Korea.. That is what today means: Pride, honor, and service.. 

In 1919, Woodrow Wilson proclaimed today Armistice Day. After a few more ‘wars to end all wars,’ Congress changed Armistice to Veterans Day in 1954.. Since then, every November 11, we have stopped to memorialize veterans who are still living..

There is also some confusion, though, as many today have vigils and ceremonies for the dead .. however today is the day to thank and honor the living.
Thank you Veterans for service.. thank you for your sacrifice.. There is so much gratitude owed to you, it can never be completely fulfilled. The world is a better place because of your actions, and the United States is a better nation because of your honor..

The Veterans Day (and more) news roundup is as follows..

I am glad no one was hit by that satellite today..

GRAHAM From the movie SIGNS:

People break down into two groups. When they experience something lucky, group number one sees it as more than luck, more than coincidence. They see it as a sign, evidence, that there is someone up there, watching out for them. Group number two sees it as just pure luck. Just a happy turn of chance. I’m sure the people in group number two are looking at those fourteen lights in a very suspicious way. For them, the situation is a fifty-fifty. Could be bad, could be good. But deep down, they feel that whatever happens, they’re on their own. And that fills them with fear. Yeah, there are those people. But there’s a whole lot of people in group number one. When they see those fourteen lights, they’re looking at a miracle. And deep down, they feel that whatever’s going to happen, there will be someone there to help them. And that fills them with hope. See what you have to ask yourself is what kind of person are you? Are you the kind that sees signs, that sees miracles? Or do you believe that people just get lucky? Or, look at the question this way: Is it possible that there are no coincidences?

It’s been two years since the death of a very important person..

Do they leave signs for you to keep hope, even after they have left this reality?

Under Health Care Act, Millions Eligible for Free Policies

Federal subsidies will pay the entire monthly cost of some plans being offered in the online marketplaces, a surprising figure that has not gotten much attention, in part because the zero-premium plans come with serious trade-offs.

Interesting.. we’re not hearing much about this….

UGH..

One day Jay will have to re-join these ranks again. He should really be nicer..

North Korea using Russian tech to create ‘electromagnetic pulse weapons’

This is the future of war. You thought the weapons of today were modern, think again.. drones will be nothing compared to am EMP attack.. if this story is correct, we are getting awfully close to dramatically dangerous hands getting horrendous weapons of war.

The 21st century, still filled with violence, pestilence, and sickness and sadness.

Have the dark ages returned? 

If so, LOTS OF CONTRACTORS and weapons manufactures are having quite the field day with creating a bleak future. Hope the enjoy the money while their ATMs work..
