Asylum-seekers in Sweden demand relocation in fear of ghosts

Several dozen refugees sheltered in a remote village in Sweden have asked authorities to relocate them, complaining the building allocated for their shelter is haunted by strange noises and flickering lights.

Swedish Migration Agency officials reported Wednesday that 35 out of 58 asylum-seekers accommodated in small village of Grannaforsa in the depths of Smaland province demanded relocation, according to AP.

The migrants complained Tuesday of suspicious sounds in facility’s plumbing system and malfunctioning electric lights.

“Doors are getting reopened by themselves,” Hamid Alojaili, a Syrian resident of the Grannaforsa facility, told local newspaper Smalandsposten. “And there is no one outside.”

The paranormal was in the news in 2015.. why not start it like that in ‘16..

Stefan Johansson, a co-owner of the facility, believes there ought to be natural explanations to the ‘ghost’ phenomena, blaming faulty wiring and slight deformations of the building’s structure caused by sudden temperature changes that eventually caused strange squeaking sounds.

But there are cultural and religious reasons that those logical explanation may not be of use in this situation..

Cultures are clashing..
Ghosts are thrashing..
Welcome to 2016..
The season of mean.

Why was President Obama standing during his Oval Office address?

Lots of theories floating around online about his today.. Standing = power? The resolute commander in chief?

I thought the stage looked strange.. Obama looked tired. The curtains behind him crabby and dull.. And he seemed uncomfortable standing..
For me it didn’t work..

WAR.. what is it good for.

Al-Shabab PROMISES another bloodbath in Kenya.. This promise came before the body parts were cleaned and the blood was dry at the University that saw the mayhem and murder. Almost 150 were dead, many more injured.. Christians were targeted .. the terrorists, in this situation, seemed to have struck a mighty blow against the fabric of Kenya and the safety of the nation..

The friend of my enemy is my friend’s enemy’s friend who is my enemy.  Confusion over YEMEN. Whose side is anyone on? In the Mid East, it’s a constant chess match that normally turns into checkers when one player decides to blow things up .. In the matter of Yemen, we are fighting alongside of people who are fighting in other nations.. We are friendly there with people we are not other places. We are simply setting ourselves up for failure.. This experiment of constant war needs to end.

Threat of ground incursion looms over Yemen

And not only a ground incursion, but a regional war .. and I still say World War III of sorts. It just won’t play out in the same fashion the other two did.. And quite frankly it may already be occurring. So much of this theater is just that.. a big chess game that we are told is checkers..

He also said that he will bring troops home by the end of 2016..

The troops were slated to leave Afghanistan very soon, but now that Afghan president asked for troops to stay longer, the United States has agreed.. 

The war goes on. We just stopped it war.

Vatican backs using force against IS

Something seems very significant for the world with this turn of events..

Vatican backs using force against IS

Darkness during wartime..

83% of electricity in Syria has been wiped out due to war..

The before and after is like day and night..

Pure speculation.. but that's what I often do best..

 Back in September 2007, the LONDON TELEGRAPH reported that Russia had tested the ‘father of all bombs’ .. this is how reporter Adam Blomfield described the new weapon at that time:

Developed in secret, the unchristened bomb, a vacuum device capable of emitting shockwaves as powerful as a nuclear weapon, was unveiled with great theatre on state television’s main evening broadcast.

Boasting that the weapon had “no match in the world,” ORT First Channel television showed a Tupolev Tu-160 strategic bomber dropping its payload over a testing ground, followed by a massive explosion.
Pictures of what appeared to be crumpled multi-storey apartment blocks were also broadcast.

And the picture of what it looked like:

Things have changed since 2007. Then it was Georgia on Vlad’s mind.. Now Pootie Poot’s focus has changed, of course, to Ukraine..

But last night there was an incident that sent shockwaves over the landscape of Ukraine and across social networks—although the mainstream media thoroughly refused to report anything of it and instead focused heavily on Beyonce’s dress from the Grammy awards.

Oh and ACDC performed..
Did you see Kanye? And Beck? ! Oh the controversy.

Nonetheless, this is what last night’s explosion in Ukraine looked like: 

There is also a lot of debate in the comments and reblogs of a post I put up last night showing the video of the blast, which many rumored on Twitter and Facebook to be a nuke..

Could it be that the father has been unleashed? Is it possible we are seeing a chemical weapons blast like some say, or perhaps a larger more battle-ready capable new way of killing?

I don’t know..

Speculation. Speculation..
Speculation.

But it’s worth speculating about..

This Russia Ukraine deal still has a chance of dragging the world down with it in a geo-political quagmire..

MAUREEN DOWN HITS OBAMA: "THE GOLF ADDRESS"

You can read her full ultra-sarcastic op-ed in the NEW YORK TIMES..She writes as President Obama ..  I picked some of the money quotes worth reading:

THIS:

Now we are engaged in a great civil divide in Ferguson, which does not even have a golf course, and that’s why I had a “logistical” issue with going there

This:

I’ve heard all the carping that I should be in the Situation Room droning and plinking the bad folks. I know some people think I should go to Ferguson. Don’t they understand that I’ve delegated the Martin Luther King Jr. thing to Eric Holder? Plus, Valerie Jarrett and Al Sharpton have it under control.

Another:

I know it doesn’t look good to have pictures of me grinning in a golf cart juxtaposed with ones of James Foley’s parents crying, and a distraught David Cameron rushing back from his vacation after only one day, and the Pentagon news conference with Chuck Hagel and General Dempsey on the failed mission to rescue the hostages in Syria.

And finally: 

We here highly resolve that these golfing greats shall not have competed in vain, especially poor Tiger, and that this nation, under par, shall have a new birth of freedom to play the game that I have become unnaturally obsessed with, and that golf of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth. So help me Golf.

A few things to remember—and in all fairness, one major thing to remember: Obama has spent less time on vacation then his predecessors ..  It may not seem so, but it’s true.

What does not look good, however, is a nation at war with itself churning and ISIS or ISIL gaining and beheading Americans while your sway away like Meryl in SIGNS. 

Also, if you read the full op-ed by Dowd, take a peak at the comments section.. already very angry pingbacks are happening and equally angry critical comments at Dowd’s obvious sarcastic criticism of the President..

Minus away the obvious political debate that will come from such a column and post.. and enter this: The president, some will say, is solitary by nature. Obama is to himself.. often appearing aloof and even in another world.. The isolation of the office has been spoken about by a number of Presidents in the past—and the argument has been made that a vacation clears the mind of a Chief Executive constantly mired in crisis..

But ti just looked awful to see the President hitting up the links as the Foley family wept for their deceased son—the same way it looked terrible for President Bush to say terrorism will not stand, followed by ‘now watch this shot’ as he too chipped away on a golf course..
