Being downgraded sure doesn't feel fun..

S&P: At least you waited until the Friday Stock Market closed

BREAKING: Credit rating agency S&P downgrades U.S. debt from AAA, the first debt downgrade in U.S. history

The outlook on the new U.S. credit rating is negative, S&P said in a statement, a sign that another downgrade is possible in the next 12 to 18 months.

Dozens arrested after global child porn sweep

It was called Dreamboard and it has now led to multiple arrests and the collapse of an international child abuse ring..

The site hosted images of child porn. The children being victimized were in obvious, and intentional, pain..

Servers disguised the users’ real identity..

The kids were 12 and under in many cases.. A number of countries were involved.. 72 were arrested after the sweep..

Court papers allege that participants who molested children and created new images of child abuse were placed in a “Super VIP” category that gave them access to the entire quantity of child abuse on the bulletin board.. Government officials even said that some who were on the site were infants..

INFANTS.. This is what humanity is capable of.. this is what humanity can do. This is disgusting and horrid.. and very real. 72 less creatures now roam freely to rape and pillage the most innocent on earth.. but so many more are out there to terrorize children across this globe..

Attorney General Holder said this on others across the earth involved with child porn: We will find you, we will stop you, and we will bring you to justice. We pray he’s right and will follow up and bring degenerates to justice wherever they are.

Just friends? Not if you're a teacher and student in Missouri

Now in Missouri, teachers have been banned by law from becoming social media friends with students in Facebook and any other platform that exists.. Teachers are now, by state edict, not permitted to be friends with students online—I suppose even if the students asks. Even more interesting in the new law: "Teachers also cannot have a non work-related website that allows exclusive access with a current or former student"

Some are applauding the ban, others worry about the long term repercussions. It will be more interesting see what states follow with their own regulations..

The amazing Vesta: New amazing images of the surface of asteroid Vesta are leaving scientists stunned at what they are seeing.. They will have years of images to think.. ponder.. analyze.. and study.

You will most likely be shocked too—if you even see them.. The team does not plan to post raw images online as other NASA missions have done. Instead, there will be just one picture released daily.

One picture daily? …that’s all? … Don’t know about you, but I certainly feel left out

…and before anyone was able to catch their collective breath, the calender turned a page and it became August.. With the summer nearing an end, the great people of earth reached for the stars, hoped for the best, and rallied together for a few more picnics, adult beverages, and laughs under the stars.

Here’s the great American dollar.. being flushed into oblivion—despite the ‘deal’ on the debt

A debt deal is reached..

The only thing more shocking than politicians playing like kids in sandboxes, taking America to the edge of disaster, is that Obama is going to speak during BIG BROTHER. Now that will make his poll numbers drop..

A cautionary Sunday tale

An Xbox addict gets a blood clot and dies

....and on that dream topic..

…were I to find “John Panne” or run into someone named that, would I announce that I had a dream about him!? Would I say “nice to meet you! I dreamed of you!” ???.. If this man my version of Mother Abigail from the STAND? Will he be in a corn field next telling me to head out to Colorado? … so many mysteries.. And maybe just nothing at all to think about, just a random thought in a random dream on a random night…

Had one crazy dream last night..

…and it was name specific. The name ‘John Panne’ kept popping up everywhere, the last part of the dream being a phone number for me to reach him. Of course I forget the phone number but can’t forget the name… It was strange. I never had a name specific dream before, but I cannot say that anymore. Now what does it mean? .. .clueless.

Saturday, July 30, 2011

Thanks, again, to all those who sent emails this past week, messages.. those who visited and read what was here..

The news of the world, yet again, has been dominated by debt. The economic gains are diminished, here in the US of A.. and the world, too, isn’t much better. Though 7 billion inhabit the planet, it’s obvious most of that population is in for inescapable journeys, some that will take us to hell on earth and others that will force development of our species.

The idea of 7 billion people.. I can’t even fathom it. That amount of souls, spaced out in space here on this blue dot somewhere in a galaxy, in a universe.. I can’t grasp the idea of what we are, who we are..

People offer up tales of physical prowess at bars across America every Saturday night.. It will happen to you, no doubt, that at some point this weekend someone will offer up a point or two about how much better they are as compared to you. But, ask yourself, what are they? … cell… atoms.. spinning. A mass of atoms, and often a mass of ass. Mass, nonetheless..

And take it even further.. we don’t know what the universe is, we’re not quite sure exactly how a big bang occurred, but still somehow buy into the notion that the universe was the size of a fist and exploded into this. Despite our inability to conjure up any real data to prove the big bang once and for all, it’s our best belief. So, this Saturday, when Joe Sixpack propels himself to the head of the club or the front of the line, realize that you’re somehow joined with him/her.. we’re all somehow joined together.

But I still can’t figure out, despite a mass of atoms, what exactly we are.

And never will.

But that’s just how it’s going to be.

Good Saturday evening, all, and here’s hoping your figure out what you are and where you’re going on this long highway of life, with stretches of boredom and others filled with accidents and riddles.

Good evening.

That’s right.. 7 billion strong, here on this planet.. Food shortages.. water problems.. some population booms in lands hurt by storms and disasters.. Oh yes, indeed, those here, all 7 billion of us, have quite a story to tell.. And those coming onto the planet, or back again depending on your religious beliefs, have some tough times ahead.

But that’s the way it’s always been here… here on this beautiful blue ball, surrounded by space and time, and ravaged by war and crime.

COWBOYS & ALIENS isn’t doing as well as expected.. but the SMURFS is doing much better..

Remember, only days ago, most predicted that the SMURFS would be trounced by the bigger budget flick..

Go SMURFS! A victory for anyone who grew up in the roaring 80s..

Amy Winehouse found dead..
A life cut short..
Troubled diva..
Sold more than 5 million albums..
Flashback: In June, Winehouse was booed while on stage in Serbia after she stumbled and appeared to forget lyrics to her songs..
And now tonight, after all the online jokes, after all the barbs at her expense, she was found dead at her home in North London ..
…and now joins the ‘27 club’ with Brian Jones, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison and Kurt Cobain..
Funeral workers carry out her body..

Peace out, earth. From my family to yours.. have a safe Saturday night. Little Ayden in the middle wishes it too. Just in his own language.

No more rehab

Singer Amy Winehouse was found dead at her apartment in London on Saturday, the UK Press Association reported. She was 27.

you seem to not think the shooting in NOrway was a radical shooting from an extreme conservative? i think it was. I could be wrong, of course, but I think we need to start looking at people closer who have certain political beliefs

…starting ‘looking’ at persons of certain political beliefs? .. And editing them? Censoring them? … Oh boy. Here we go..

Listen, first of all, without question, anyone who shoots kills maims or destroys is insane to a degree and .. even some people with political beliefs are extreme. I get it.. And yes, this disgusting creature could have been an extreme conservative. I get it ..

But deep down, there is something else at play here.. Something deeply disturbing in my mind about humans themselves. They are capable of things many others cannot even think of.. Holocausts, killing sprees, torture camps, terrorist attacks, mass shootings.. Killing of innocent children.. all disgusting, vile, and rejected by humans as a whole.

I don’t know if I am answering your question or even if you asked one, anonymous, but I certainly think that the killer is a killer first and political believer second.

Eyewitness accounts offer chilling information about Norway shooting

Some chilling accounts coming out about the island of death, Utoya.. Survivors tells how he played dead before the gunman shot him in the back.. .. one said “I could hear his boots and feel his breath’.. Another said that the gunman yelled ‘we all must die’.. Even more horrid, it was open season on the innocent: Gunman had 30 minutes for killing spree before SWAT team arrived.. Norway’s Prime Minister said, “My childhood paradise was transformed into hell”.. MORE.

souplines:

Muslim = terrorism
Christian conservatism = extremist
Killing = killing

ME: Amen.. The media was quick to trounce on Muslims, ,and now Christians.. Ugh it’s frustrating, especially with an island soaked in blood. Just … wow. I have a headache at the thoughts of how murderous humans can sometimes be.

Shameless plug.. but..

I have lots of coverage at http://horrorreport.com/ today on the Norway nightmare.. a true act of horror, terror, and violence .. Utoya Island became an island of death.. prayers with the nation.. And will someone, somewhere, ever be able to explain why human beings are capable of the most atrocious acts of anyone in any animal kingdom.. ? In the animal world, it’s kill or be killed. In the human species, it’s kill TO KILL..

We are, perhaps, more ‘animalistic’ than animals ….

Very chilling image.. if true, the killer standing among his dead on Utoya Island..

inothernews:

Front page, Aftonbldet (published in Sweden), Saturday 23 July 2011.

This newspaper, from Norway’s neighbor Sweden, has a front page photo purportedly of Norwegian terror suspect Anders Behring Breivik, standing among the bodies of his victims on Utoya Island, where the massacre of at least 80 people — including children — took place.

I’m not certain how this image was acquired but nevertheless: it’s utterly terrifying, and terribly sad.
