Children Beheaded as Violence Engulfs the Central African Republic

This is horrific and brutal.. And not being reported by any major American news organization ..

My shoddy camera work does no justice to this beautiful sunset seen over Interstate 81 outside of Hazleton PA tonight.. It was breathtaking

Oh Art Bell… You have such mysterious and reassuring messages ..
You mean the real sun? The UK SUN?
The Chinese restaurant with the world sun in it??? Details, Art, details!

The search for time travelers on Twitter begins!

Scientists are searching Twitter feeds from the past to see if there is any mention of news before it actually happened. So far, they have come up with zilch.


Where’s John Titor when you need him… And would Titor tweet?


The search for time travelers on Twitter begins!

Remember last month we were told that Kim Jong Un's uncle was assassinated in North Korea?

It was a big to-do. Even Dennis Rodman was called in for his covert mission back to the nation.


But now we find out some more horrid details.. apparently Un’s Unc was eaten alive by 120 dogs for his ‘treachery’..this according to Chinese media tonight.


This is the first time public accounts have been rendered a to how Un did his deed…


What a way to start a new year..


Now this is amazing and beyond cool: The World Cup will begin with a mind controlled exoskeleton kick! Wearing a state-of-the-art exoskeleton, a paralyzed teenager will make the ceremonial first kick at the World Cup in Brazil this summer.

Good Friday night, t’all..

Somebody call global warming and tell it we need it for a while.. Now the Antarctic rescue ship stuck in ice

First the ship carrying global warming scientists got stuck in thick sea ice.. And now this. 


Oh the irony. It may have escaped a few ..

Snow brings misery, pain, and back aches… But it sure is beautiful

Noticed this today while observing my son play..

Interesting fun fact concerning Ayden’s Scooby Doo toys.. all of the characters are able to sit down except for one, Daphne. Her only ability is to kneel.. I wonder if there’s any hidden message from the toy makers on this one?

HEADS UP FOR ICEBERG LETTUCE BREASTS..


PETA making some cold waves as scantily clad women in lettuce bras brave cold weather in Minnesota.


I guess they succeeded.. they got attention.

It is extremely cold right now.. the last time I remember cold this bad was in 1994 when I was 14 years old. I recall stories about rivers suddenly freezing and people suffering. That is back when CNN actually had news on ..


Nonetheless, it’s 2014 and 20 years since that cold snap. But looking at this map you see, it may soon get pretty close to what was experience two decades back. 


The image is from WeatherBELL’s Ryan Maue.. .. the red color reflects where all weather models are in agreement: It will be below 32 degrees. And in some cases much below 32.. 


My local forecast actually calls for a high on Monday of 30 some degrees—and the temperature will fall at night to negative 2. That is a 30+ drop in temperatures in just a few hours, and a flash freeze—something that the Midwest is going to experience this weekend as their temperatures go well below 0. 


And get this: Hawaii’s high elevations are going to be under the freezing mark, too. 


at this point, it’s fair to say that the entire United States from North to South and Alaska and Hawaii included—all 50 states—will be in a deep freeze by next week.


That is astounding. Amazing.


And freaking freezing.

I read once that many children can see auras but they're told by their parents that they aren't real. Eventually they just stop seeing them. I guess they sort of push them to the side and ignore them until they go away.

It’s an interesting theory. There are some who claim this, others who don’t.. Good example of a disagreement may be this website: http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=160191


I always think that children are more open to any experience—especially paranormal. 


There are some who scoff at the idea that the paranormal is happening— I get messages all the time on here from people outright laughing at my attention to weird things and the creepier aspects of the universe.


But I think people who laugh and jab at me for how much I focus on it may simply be a bit worried that sometimes things aren’t explained by science.. 


Maybe one day they WILL be explained. Which means it’s going to go from paranormal to normal.


And yesterday’s paranormal is today’s normal.. and tomorrow’s reality.


It’s all relative I guess.


Back to the auras: I don’t know. I certainly know that I never remembered seeing one.. But that’s the other thing: Memories from childhood become so fuzzy with age. 

Wow.. so DRUDGE is a horror movie fan after all!


The SHINING’s last scene with Jack Nicholson is the imagery used for his top link about the weather.


Good choice, Matt..

A ‘main road’ after the snowstorm. This is why I LOVE you Schuylkill County PA!

A song for a winter’s night.


It’s nights like tonight when one gets introspective.. Snow is coming down outside.. not a car in sight.. not even one can be heard in the distance. There has always been something peaceful about a snowstorm during the darkness.. Life itself seems to be on hold—something I find necessary now and then. I feel for those who are stuck in this weather or even though forced to travel to get to a job..

I am writing this post as I see a street light outside my window.. the orange hue is creating a firestorm of snow as it falls from the sky. You won’t catch me eating snow in the post Fukushima world, but I may make a snow angel or two tomorrow should Ayden Morris and Mutley the dog choose to play in the conditions..

I also find a quiet snowstorm to be very paranormal..Mysterious.. but reassuring. It’s powerful enough to stop traffic and life until roads are cleared, but beautiful enough to remind you that you’re not really in charge of anything here..

I am contemplating some strange things tonight—maybe the fact I’m listening to Dave Schrader on DARKNESS RADIO interview someone about children believe they have had past lives.. Or maybe it’s because every time it snows it reminds me of the eerie scenes of Stephen King’s STORM OF THE CENTURY.. Andre Linoge walks atop the snow somewhere in time.

I don’t want to continue to speak about a negative December.. but my God December 2013 was just abysmal personally for my family. It perked up by Christmas. And New Years actually felt good, hope and change is coming. Not the kind Obama promised in 2008.. but the real kind.
I can feel it.

December did end with some paranormal activity in my personal life.. An entity, or spirit.. or gust of wind, made its presence known.  It was perhaps the scariest moment of my life—seeing something unexplained and true, right before your eyes.. witnesses seeing it too only amplify the fact you cannot deny what your eyes just witnessed. I had one of those moments at the end of December..
I don’t know if I am going to be the same..
It’s because the paranormal is something I’ve watched from a distance. Something that I always doubted, even though I delve deep into stories about it. I am skeptical by nature..
But the occurrence that happened in my home has no way to be explained.

When you see something happen that you cannot explain, you have a choice: Ignore it, or welcome it. By ignoring it, life can go on.. you can keep laughing at those who believe in such things. Ignoring it means you can stay in your comfort zone. Close your mind and pretend nothing took place.
Welcoming it? That’s the tougher part.. That is when you need to discern with logic what your eyes see. While welcoming the idea that something strange happened does not mean you’re accepting it was paranormal, it challenges your mind enough to try to understand what it was you saw, witnessed, or experienced.
I am welcoming mine.
I do have video evidence of something happening—but I am holding that close to my vest at this time. I don’t want to publish something like that because I am not trying to get attention.
And the only reason I am vaguely speaking about it is because it has been driving me crazy NOT to write about it in some way. 

With all that I could say about what I saw, and have on video, I will simply say this: The next time you see that mysterious shadow appear and vanish.. it may be more than a shadow. The next time the house creeks or moans, it may not be your home settling.. the next time your child speaks of memories that they never experienced, it may mean they experienced it somewhere else, some time else..

Ghosts and goblins, UFOs and all that.. 99% is bunk. But if you welcome the 1% your world may change…

Blizzard to Eye Northeast Overnight


It is going to be a wild night.. The Weather Channel didn’t plan it this way, but this storm is named Hercules 


I will admit I love snowy and cold nights—as long as the power stays on, of course. I truly enjoy walking under streetlights while snow steadily falls. 


With blizzard conditions, though, it may prove a jarring experience.. Maybe I’ll just settle for memories of a more tranquil storm and not brave the sub zero wind chills and heavy snow that is expected to fall.


If things get really haywire, I will avoid the outside altogether.. and cover the windows so I don’t have the chance of seeing Andre Linoge walking in the falling snow, looking for what he wants until he goes away..


 


Be safe if you one of the hundred million or so folks getting prepped for a big storm..

Dogs poop in line with Earth’s magnetic field, says study | The Raw Story

We are told this: 



The study examined the daily habits of 70 dogs during 1,893 defecations and 5,582 urinations over the course of two years. Consistently, during times of calm electromagnetic “weather,” the dogs chose to eliminate while facing north or south.



I’ve read from silly things in my life.. and this very well be one of them.


pparently the people who studied dogs never met Mutley the dog. I’d hardly say there is a rhyme or reason to where he lets it loose.. Nonetheless, offered up for you skeptical discernment: Dogs poop where the magnetic field takes them

Historic FDR Bible goes missing after de Blasio swearing in

At first I thought it went up in flames when Bill Clinton touched his hands to it. But further reading of the story a detective did locate the bible and shouted ‘we found it!’ when  it was discovered.. 


All good things come to a nice end.


I wonder if anyone thought to say a quick prayer to St. Anthony during their search. That’s what nuns in my parochial school upbringing would have done..

Sorry to ruin a new year..

The beginning of a year always comes with hope—you can make plans and resolutions. On January 1, everything seems possible.. 


After I was done the traditional sauerkraut dinner today with family, I began thinking a bit about my own resolutions.  I have some hopes and dreams for better employment, to successful train a child to use a potty, and to attempt to stop a puppy from biting. There are some other personal aspirations that I’d rather not share with the world through a website..


The last thing I want to see are hopes dashed by some God awful world event.. we are victims too often to fate, evil, and plain old bad luck..


So when I saw a link posted on Drudge tonight about the United States government ordering 14 million doses of potassium iodide, it was unsettling. The source, of course, is Alex Jones’ INFOWARS.. so there are some big iodized grains of salt I chose to take with the information..but the information shared there is directly from the government’s FedBizOpps site..


I figured.. maybe this is normal.. Maybe this is alright.. Just another order on the federal site, and someone paranoid website owner took it the wrong way.


And then there is this..


A plume of mysterious smoke is rising from reactor 3 at Fukushima in Japan.. You can read more from RT.COM on that. 


I saw that information posted tonight on Weatherboy Weather’s Facebook page.. He was hit hard by commentary on his post concerning Reactor 3’s smoke rising .. people called the story a hoax, fear mongering, and fake.


But the information is very, very real..much to the horror of the world—whatever parts of that are actually paying attention to the Fukushima nightmare.


If you think that RT is not a valuable source of information, there are some others you may want to consider on this same developing story:


The ECOLOGIST does take into consideration some other possibilities, besides an apocalyptic meltdown, such as the smoke is happening because rain is hitting stray fuel elements. But the other portions of the story are more troubling: A meltdown may be taking place, or corium has reached groundwater and a complete meltdown has occurred, something that will reach the Pacific Ocean.


I have reported lots of Fukushima since 2011. Even though I have re-posted some horrid news about the events there, including recent information that Japan is not only silencing people telling the truth about the disaster, but also recruiting the homeless to clean up the radioactive mess, I have tried to believe that things will work out.. that Fukushima is a long-distance nightmare, something happening somewhere ‘there’ and its disturbing developments will not impose pain anywhere else. 


But those simply ways to tell myself everything is alright may be out the proverbial window with this information of strange smoke rising. 


I am not at the alarmist level just yet, with one of those ‘bring out your dead’ sources being Turner Radio Network telling people along the West Coast to prepare for an immediate meltdown at Fukushima.


The world was told this by TEPCO: The process of removing spent fuel rods was going to be delicate and dangerous. 


There still may be some hope, though.. A website named FUKUSHIMAUPDATE.COM has a story running trying to tame down the flames of fear over the reactor 3 steam.. The site also offered up some more factual information, again, downplaying any cataclysmic event.. 


So ….all eyes on reactor 3. At least for whatever eyes are looking at it. Unless there are still journalists being told to keep quiet about what is happening at Fukushima..

A breathtaking end to the first day of 2014

This is a NASA photo of earth on January 1, 2014. The first planetary selfie of the year. You’re looking good..

Blizzard-like conditions coming. I'd rather use the term 'blizzardy'

Blizzard-like conditions are likely tomorrow evening for most of New Jersey, the New York City metropolitan area, all of Long Island, most of Delaware, Connecticut, and Massachusetts, all of Rhode Island, and portions of eastern Pennsylvania.

The term “blizzard” is related to windspeed more so than amount of snow.


It will be very cold .. so the snow that falls will be light and fluffy—easy to shovel. But the wind will make it difficult—and ‘blizzardy’ ..


Here’s the latest from ACCUWEATHER.. I’m on a borderline between not much and a little more than not much. The real action will happen as they try to clean up the mess in Times Square.. a blizzard is a comin’ to greet us in ‘14..


Maybe you saw this image before, maybe not. Either way it reminds me of time itself.. as you stare at the photo (try it) it will vanish.. sure it’s your eyes playing tricks on your and your brain mis-reading the picture.. 


Isn’t that what happens daily? 
You see your child born.. and before you know it’s he’s three and 33 and .. you’re not around to see him get older?


2013 began with a blast. And ends with a whimper—a vanishing act like this image before your eyes.


But in a sense the year is still there. Somewhere.. trapped in memories or in a time warp. When you re-focus the picture comes back.


But 2013 will not—at least not on the calender on this time line. 


Instead it has slipped and slided away.. exited stage left as we banged pots and pans when the clock struck midnight. New York City revelers kissed under the night sky as the ball came down. We all sang Auld Lang Syne—at least the first verse since it’s the only one we know anymore..


'14. You're here.


Be kind, we don’t want to rewind.


And really we can’t… can’t go back—even if we want to.


It’s the best of times. It’s the worst of times. It’s just time to party like it’s 1999.. 


Stay clean. Don’t be mean. 
It’s 2014.

I can only say this about what I am witnessing on TV from Times Square

1) ABC airing constant commercials during each break of Michael Bolton singing in the back seat of a car will haunt me until 2015..


2) Miley Cyrus had a great run in 2013. But with her awful live performance,  I can only say I hope she enjoyed it. Dick Clark is rolling in the grave..

Baby it’s cold outside.


But Ryan Seacrest looks so warm his makeup may run…


And Carson Daly? that’s quite the inside fire they have running on NBC.


Sometimes it is better to just watch the ball drop from the safety net of a building with walls to confine warmth. But for those braving cold air under a beautiful clear winter sky, godspeed.

Clear cold skies…
I made a wish on my shooting star…

A great dinner at Martin’s in Hazleton PA. The night is still young—but so is our son.. So it may be the big ball on TeeVee with Ryan Seacrest instead of live fun. But that’s alright. It’s all good in ‘14

No matter what you do or try to, you can’t turn back the hands of time.


Enjoy the last few hours of 2013.. as they slip into history, forging a path for a new and fresh start in 2014.


Goodbye unlucky 13.. you’ve been too real for our good.

This is how Japan does it..

They are recruiting the homeless to help cleanup radioactive Fukushima! And with the new law that passed there, don’t expect many Japanese news agencies to report a word of this..

A page turner: The calender changing.

TUESDAY DECEMBER 31 2013

The last day unlucky 13..


You have heard enough of the year in review laments by now.. the best and worst.. the nice and bad.. 


It is interesting that we do this, too.. That one day, New Years day, can mean so much of a difference to us.. 


The most meaningless place I think you can be tonight is a dive bar.. cowered in the smoky corner —wait can you still smoke in them!?—listening to some awful band try to recreate magic from 1970s tunes… After the party streamers and noise makers get thrown to the side, you’re still in a dive bar. You’re still in a bad place for your spirit and soul. Believe me, I spent some New Years in dive bars. One in particular when I was in my early 20s and either had too much to drink or got sick from the buffet turkey meat that they served at midnight.. 
Tonight my new years will be quiet.. My wife and I have dinner tonight at one of the most wonderful restaurants in the world, Martin’s in Hazleton, PA.. After that we will come back home and relieve our babysitter of her duty of watching Ayden watch Woody Woodpecker on Netflix. And then watch a new years eve rock without Dick Clark but with Ryan Seacreast. At 11:59 Seacrest will announce ‘13 out’ and we will sing, dance, and kiss our loved ones as the manmade calender switches to a new digit..

And that is how we do it, here on earth. For those keeping track in space above… we celebrate a year that was and make promises to ourselves for the next. And yes, by February those promises are long gone memories .. sometimes by January 2 they are, as a matter of fact.. 

For the first time, this year, I plan on resolving a few things.. A personal set of mental ailments and roadblocks that have hindered my advancement as a human for a long time… those I want to rid myself of. I am going to attempt to have a clean slate.. and attempt to forge a new path of hope and change. No, I am not running for president. Instead, I am attempting to succeed in this world, change some lives for the better, and add love instead of hate to a planet that is filled with the noise of evil …even though it’s overrun by the quiet of purity and morality. 

I hope you stick to your resolution, whatever you choose for it to be.

Bad form, Sasha Fierce.. Bad form

A friend of mine is a big Jay-Z and Beyonce fan.. I constantly jab him with jokes about her alleged involvement with the Illuminati.. and he doesn’t even want to listen when I try to play him sound files of Beyonce claiming that she channels an alternate personality named Sasha Fierce for her live performances.

Maybe Beyonce would be smart if she blamed some recent actions on Fierce..

She is being slammed by families of dead astronauts and current NASA employees for sampling audio files from the space shuttle Challenger disaster..

For those who remember, Challenger exploded in 1986 only a little over a minute after it took off. With a school teacher on board, it was being watched on live television all across the United States when it happened—school kids were forever scarred by the memory of seeing the space shuttle begin its long death when that disaster took place. Ronald Reagan addressed the nation..

And now Beyonce chose to use sound clips of the final moment of life for astronauts that fateful January day in her new song XO.. the song is about a troubled relationship .. So I guess that makes sense to use a sound file of heroes dying in a horrid inferno. (Sarcasm there.. it does not translate well in text) …

NASA is angry. Former and current space employees aren’t to happy.. families of those who died that day aren’t smiling. And I am just left scratching my Illuminati fearing head. What was Sasha thinking? She says that she wanted to include the sounds of the disaster in her XO song as a ‘tribute’ to those who died that day.. I just cannot fathom the perplexing logic that made her think people would just fine with her decision to use that audio file..
And if Beyonce didn’t get the offensive nature of it, surely Jay-Z would have..?

Dinner and a movie? The ball dropping? Staying home? The Twilight Zone Marathon?

What are YOUR New Years plans?

'Military-Style' Raid on California Power Station Spooks U.S.

This is an important article from FOREIGN POLICY.. the money quote printed here:



Around 1:00 AM on April 16, at least one individual (possibly two) entered two different manholes at the PG&E Metcalf power substation, southeast of San Jose, and cut fiber cables in the area around the substation. That knocked out some local 911 services, landline service to the substation, and cell phone service in the area, a senior U.S. intelligence official told Foreign Policy. The intruder(s) then fired more than 100 rounds from what two officials described as a high-powered rifle at several transformers in the facility. Ten transformers were damaged in one area of the facility, and three transformer banks — or groups of transformers — were hit in another, according to a PG&E spokesman.


Cooling oil then leaked from a transformer bank, causing the transformers to overheat and shut down. State regulators urged customers in the area to conserve energy over the following days, but there was no long-term damage reported at the facility and there were no major power outages. There were no injuries reported. That was the good news. The bad news is that officials don’t know who the shooter(s) were, and most importantly, whether further attacks are planned.


"Initially, the attack was being treated as vandalism and handled by local law enforcement," the senior intelligence official said. "However, investigators have been quoted in the press expressing opinions that there are indications that the timing of the attacks and target selection indicate a higher level of planning and sophistication."



April 16.. .and we find out at the end of December how urgently important and dangerous this situation was..

The Canary Islands in the coal mine

There is still fear in 2014.. There have been some interesting and unsettling earthquakes in the Canary Islands over the past few days—this has happened before. When it did, there were rumors that a giant East Coast tsunami would occur. That was helped by people like John Moore on his radio program.. Now that the rumbling is happening again, those same rumors are being told. John Hogue is weighing in on the earthquake swarm and potential ramifications if Las Palmas euptions take place..

From livescience.com: “Two years after a new underwater volcano appeared offshore of El Hierro in the Canary Islands, earthquake swarms and a sudden change in height suggest a new eruption is brewing near the island’s villages, officials announced today”

If a big tsunami did occur, it would cause devastation in the aftermath..Predictions that it would be 300 feet high, cover islands.. And here is a map of what it could do to the United States. 
And it just so happened that this all occurred around the same time of these warnings of increased volcanic and seismic activity: A strong 5.4 shakes the Canary Islands..

Showing my age..

My niece and her friend were at our house this weekend, they’re of the age where they want to just watch mindless horror movies.. I put in Halloween from 1978, I expected them to be as amazed as I was when I was a young teenager like them..



They got bored quickly, and their only commentary on the classic movie was that the star of it now does yogurt commercials..



Yes… Jamie Lee is old now. But not when she fought Michael Myers.



Here is the full TWILIGHT ZONE marathon schedule from the SYFY channel..

It’s been the traditional way I’ve rung in the new year for a long time now.. Thanks to the SYFY channel (*then SCI FI) for all the wonderful memories of the Twilight Zone you’ve given me each and every New Years Eve.. 


I have already written down the times of my favorites.. 


Maybe I can get my wife to actually watch some this year if I tell her there will be advertisements for HER favorite show, LOST GIRLS.


Meanwhile.. the Monsters are Due on Maple street at 8:30 pm, the Shelter is prepped for 6:30 pm, and the Obsolete Man will cry at 1130 pm.. 


But the best happens at 12:00 am January 1, 2014 when the MIDNIGHT SUN blazes.. that one is my favorite.


Hope you find yours on their schedule.
