It wasn’t discussed. It wasn’t even declared. It just…happened. Like it was the most natural thing in the world.
There are implications here..
Serious ones perhaps

Sedated and unable to talk..
(CNN) - Perhaps the only man in the world who can explain why the Boston Marathon bombings took place is sedated with a tube down his throat, unable to speak.
Suspect Dzhokar Tsarnaev was in serious but stable condition at a Boston hospital and cannot talk, Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick told reporters.
I missed the 'dope show'.. but I will surely have to download today
John B. Wells, who should now be the main host on Coast since Art Bell won’t be coming back, had an interested subject matter last night, just in time for 420: The Dope Show. But the concept was interesting, and something no doubt many would believe in. That marijuana could be a great American money maker, and right now the only ones who profit from it being illegal are those in the illegal trade of it. Also mentioned, apparently, was the prison industry and how many juvenile offenders are locked away for way too long because of possession of the substance..
But the best may be the music Wells chose for the show:
PAPER PLANES by MIA, WHITE RABBIT by Jefferson Airplane, COCAINE by JJ Cale, and the DOPE SHOW by Marilyn Manson.
There will be no doubt that I will be downloading and keeping this one for future enjoyment.
SLATE writes about Dzohkar's lack of Miranda..
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev will not hear his Miranda rights before the FBI questions him Friday night. He will have to remember on his own that he has a right to a lawyer, and that anything he says can be used against him in court, because the government wont tell him.
Interesting article..
We really need to contemplate this one, America.. we really do.
SLATE writes about Dzohkar's lack of Miranda..
Dzhokhar still not read his rights?
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in serious condition as civil liberties groups express concerns over plan to question him without reading him his rights
The GUARDIAN reports:
US officials said an elite interrogation team would question theMassachusetts college student without reading him his Miranda rights, something that is allowed on a limited basis when the public may be in immediate danger, such as instances in which it is feared bombs are planted and ready to be detonated.
The ACLU executive director, Anthony Romero, said the legal exception applied only when there was a continued threat to public safety and was “not an open-ended exception” to the Miranda rule, which guarantees the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney.
The federal public defender’s office in Massachusetts said it had agreed to represent Tsarnaev once he is charged. Miriam Conrad, public defender for Massachusetts, said he should have a lawyer appointed as soon as possible because there were “serious issues regarding possible interrogation”.
As I said the other night.. if we are all ok with this, does it say anything about us as a nation? I think yes.
Dzhokhar still not read his rights?

It’s been a surreal week. Beware Ares. We should have..
Sometimes this song is the soundtrack to our current events. We meander through the fields and greens of this planet… fearing our surroundings and trembling at the present. But when we lay down at night, we do in fact to seem just be glad to be here..
Tonight is one of those nights to fire up an old radio and sit under the stars.
Here in my hometown, though, in the Coal Region of Pennsylvania, the temperatures have taken a turn for the winter. It’s going to go well below freezing tonight..but it’s still good to be here.
From the bars that trap your mind to the bars that zap them, be glad to be here.
So if you’re clubbing, pubbing, or stumbling this Saturday night, raise a glass or even a 4-20ed rolled up something and celebrate the past, the present, and the future.
No matter how much it makes you tremble..

I don't know if you live under a rock or what, but the only thing anyone has been talking about in regards to abortion for the past few weeks has been Gosnell. It should have been talked about back in 2011 when feminists first started reporting it.
Actually I live beneath the giant lump of coal..
But I seriously do believe that the media has not paid nearly as much attention to this as I thought they would have, and you are right it is women’s groups that actually came out against Dr. Kermit way back..
But I am still surprised that for 20 to 30 years everybody was completely fine with this no matter how many people complained to various groups and government agencies..

What's your take on everyone trying to over analyze Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's supposed twitter account?
It’s becoming a little tiring If you ask me. So many non experts thinking they are experts..
To a degree it is normal to get to understand his mind, but equally so many who are analyzing it are not psychologists ..
In the short term, i think we actually learn more from talking to classmates and friends. And we will hear from them.
But it shows that twitter could be an accurate technological window to the soul, in a 21st century sense.

Who works in the silly meme factory?
Whenever a big news want occurs, my Facebook page seems to immediately get overrun by strange and silly cartoons, photos, and memes. Often they express patriotism in a tacky way, often are littered with spelling mistakes, and rarely are anything I ‘Like.’
But where do they come from? Who makes them within seconds of news events? Is there a Silly Meme Factory Co. out there somewhere?
I used to think, when big protests occurred in the Middle East, that it was amazing how many giant signs existed, like huge ass signs with pictures of American leaders or world figures. I thought at those times that there was a giant sign factory.
Maybe the giant sign company went technological and branches into the silly Facebook meme industry.
So I ask, in my quest to find the source of these annoyingly bad pictures, did YOU ever make a meme? Do YOU claim any responsibility in causing the prolific industry to boom?

Waterloo in Watertown..
It was a unbelievable day of news.. it was beyond wild.. beyond odd and strange.. beyond fortean.
Entire towns were locked down. Almost an entire state stayed indoors.
But I end with this until I post again tomorrow: Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was not read his Miranda Rights. There was a public safety exception invoked.
This will now be a debated point of contention.. we will hear a lot about it. Maybe.
Or maybe not.
Maybe we won’t care..
But if we don’t care, what does that say?
ABC news reports:
A senior Justice Department official told ABC News that federal law enforcement officials are invoking the public safety exception to the Miranda rights, so that Tsarnaev will be questioned immediately without having Miranda rights issued to him.
The federal government’s high value detainee interrogation group will be responsible for questioning him.
The Miranda exemption exists to protect the public safety from another attack, according to the official.
May everyone have a safe evening, what’s left of it.
An ordeal is over.
But what ordeal is next..?

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev had passed an apparently normal day at the school Wednesday, according to a UMass official, working out at the gym, then sleeping in his single-unit room at the Pine Dale Hall dorm that night, while law enforcement officials were frantically scanning photos and video trying to identify him and his brother.

Without you, today would have been entirely free of awkwardly placed dildos, or possibly giant pink joke water bottles, and we would have no one to laugh at. But you, you noble bastard, you have given us someone to mock, someone to laugh at, and something to help us momentarily forget the horrors of this week. Thank you, you awkward little weirdo.

FBI Evidence Photo Shows Boston Bomb Suspect Standing Near Child Later Killed In Marathon Blast
In a chilling image obtained by the FBI, one of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects can be seen standing behind the young boy who was killed by one of Monday’s terror blasts,
A moment in time captured. The evil lurking behind the young innocent Martin Richard.. the eight year old would die moments later in a pointless act of terror at the Boston Marathon.
This picture is chilling. But after the initial shock and sickness you feel, you should feel anger. I did. I felt so angry seeing this.. thinking that this vile creature placed the bomb next to this innocent young man, standing and watching a race, and looking forward to a life of happiness. It was taken away from him for a cause.. The cause yet unknown. But we can figure out it, I think can’t we? It’s one of those causes that many have had over time.. causes that do nothing but injure and kill innocence while robbing humankind of beauty and goodness..

The fourth estate is dead
I have to say after watching the past several hours of news, I can only say that the mainstream media as it was, including cable news, is slowly going to be gone over the next few years. Twitter and 4Chan did more exclusive reporting than the big time press.. Amazing job, being scooped by users of Twitter, late night tin foil radio show tosts, and 4Channers.. Amazing.
Oh man, apparently that's a fake account. I hate people, who would create that?
Unbelievable.. Thanks for that update.

Boston and its surburbs, universities and transit system were on total lockdown Friday as police hunted for marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev — on the loose after his terrorist brother was killed in a stunning chain of events that left one cop dead and another injured, officials said.
Authorities were confronting a double-edged nightmare: a ruthless killer at large in a densely populated area and a four-mile stretch of road possibly littered with explosive devices tossed from the suspects’ getaway vehicle during a wild chase and firefights.
Two unidentified people were taken into custody at the Cambridge, Mass., home where Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and his older brother Tamerlan grew up, but they were not being described as additional suspects. Three dozen FBI agents were ringing the house.

Identities revealed: The suspects were brothers, from Russia near Chechnya, may have military experience, and have lived in the United States for about a year.. We will see how much of that turns out to be true..
More on that military experience being reported ..
And politically and militarily, it is certainly worth noting developments recently. Chechen commander forms ‘Army of Emigrants,’ integrates Syrian groups
The Syrian ‘rebels’ have been joined by militants from Chechnya in “Jihad” against Assad.

CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF CHAOS
While many slept, they missed breaking news events of epic proportions. It felt like the scene of a BATMAN movie, except no one is coming from Wayne Mansion to save the day..
A brief timeline of events as they have transpired so far:
- Shortly after midnight East Coast time, a campus police office at MIT was shot killed.. Gunshots were reported on the campus and an alert was issued on the website .. the situation was called “active” and dangerous by officials
- Shorter before 3am EDT, multipe explosions were reported to have been used against police at an incident in Watertown, Massachusetts. Speculation quickly connected the MIT police killing with the explosions in the town..
- Around 4:30 AM, news broke that a suspect was on the loose in Watertown, and that the person matches the description of Suspect 2 in the Boston Marathon bombings (the one with the white ball cap)..
- At 5:30 AM, news broke that one suspect from Monday’s terror attack in Boston was dead after the night of violence in Massachusetts. The other, however, is on the loose. Police said he should be considered armed and dangerous.
- Shortly before 6am, it was reported that the MBTA transit service has been shut down until further notice
- Residents have been told to keep their doors locked and not to leave
- The town of Watertown, MA, is being considered a ‘hot zone,’ according to NBC
- MIT classes are canceled today..
This is a quickly developing story..
Police are beginning to ponder whether the suspect still alive is not own armed and dangerous, but potentially a walking bomb with an IED strapped to his person..

Hey, I just read what you wrote about conspiracy theories regarding the Boston Marathon. It was such a breath of fresh air to see, especially on tumblr.
Thank you for the kind words. I actually received a few other ‘less nice’ responses to my post on that topic.. Your brief message reminded me that there are some good people out there in bloggerland. Keep on reading, and thank you again.
Gosnell Employee: I Saw Ten Babies Breathe Before They Were Killed
The final prosecution witness against Kermit Gosnell, the abortion doctor on trial for the capital murder of seven babies and one adult patient, was Kareema Cross, a former employee of Gosnell’s. Thursday Cross testified that she saw ten babies breathe before Gosnell killed them.
Pretty horrific stuff, don’t you think?
But yet another day of empty media seats and hardly any coverage..
I just don’t get it. This does not have to even boil down to a pro-life vs pro-choice issue.. I think both sides can reasonably agree on the premise that we are all anti-murder.
The trial thus far has featured a strong prosecution.. this was damning today.. but I still cannot get over the testimony of the maintenance man who became tired of his job because he had to constantly clean up baby body parts ..

Meet The Two Immigrant Runners Wrongly Fingered As "Possible Suspects" In The Boston Marathon Bombing
Hey everybody
Maybe we can tone down these conspiracy theories? Someone who I consider to be very smart just emailed me what she said was a photograph of the dead Newtown Connecticut principal at the Boston Marathon before the bombing happened. The picture is a fraud, a well orchestrated fraud, and a lot of gullible people will no doubt believe this as of now circulates, as my intelligent friend did..
I understand the propensity to blame and label everything a false flag, I get it. We should question everything and research everything is well.. But it does it make sense to conclude that the Boston Marathon massacre is a false flag when a name of a suspect hasn’t even been announced?
And it is even more disgusting to get stupid emails like I got today of something completely fictitious..
We all need to just calm down a little bit, let the authorities do their work, and let them find who they feel is the suspect in this act of terror..
Oh and one last thing: I am fully aware that people watch a lot of crime stories on TV, and they may even DVR them for later viewing.. But just because you do that and just because you might be an expert on what happens on CSI, that does not mean that you can comb through photographs from the Boston Marathon online and find who you believe that the suspect..
I have noticed that there are a lot of people circling most likely completely innocent people in photographs and putting a little comments next to their faces saying “Could this be the bomber?”
Just call your britches out there everybody, if you want to scream about a false flag at least wait until authorities they may suspect…
We’re on shaky ground..

Shocked eyewitnesses have told of the overwhelming power of the Texas fertilizer plant explosion and expressed fears that there could be many fatalities in the small town that was rocked by the blast.
“The school’s gone, the apartments are gone,” a young man in a blood-soaked t-shirt told reporters. “It’s just horrible. Not something you ever want to have to deal with.”
Many are feared dead .. Many are injured..
Here’s video from Texas..
One report said it felt like the earth shook as the blast was felt far and wide..
Hundreds injured.. and now the 2,700 people of the town of West are being told to evacuate due on fears over ammonia in the air..
The scene is reminiscent of a war zone..
It tragic.
And oddly enough it happened before.. On April 16, 1947, a fertilizer explosion destroyed a Texas town..

Boston lunacy: Looking for clues in the sands of time
Yet again, we as a nation are going through some weird deja vu.. A terrorist attack in a major city, shock across the nation.. and then powder and chemicals being sent through the mail.. evacuations and bomb scares from sea to shaky sea. This is America, 2013.. Not 2001. Then it was a much worse attack with a target of Osama bin Laden by the end of the day. This time we still search for someone. Then it was anthrax, with a scientist being blamed and never charged, and he eventually died from the planet .. this time it’s ricin, and we already arrested someone. If we can believe media reports that is.
And should we?
We had a roller coast of emotions today. This morning the trail was ‘cold’ and had run dry. By the afternoon CNN was pounding its chest in celebration of breaking news that “dark skinned bomber” had been arrested. The problem was that he was not arrested. No one was arrested. There was no arrest. Instead rumors being garbled up by everyone quickly …CNN had to back off its story about their dark skinned mail, just as the New York POST had to back off its own embarrassment with their “Saudi national” suspect the night of the bombing. For the record, there is still an AP dispatch of the ‘arrest’ Wonder how long this will be lasting in their archives.
And who can forget about the instant conspiracy theory industry whenever a major event occurs. Alex Jones is rampaging across the airwaves .. he is combing through photos and today on his show said he found Navy Seals—or what he thought of as people acting like Navy Seals—all dressed the same.. with backpacks.. I linked some of those interesting photos already here.
Last night on the Sean Hannity Fox Noise network program, Hannity and ‘respected’ expert Mark Fuhrman wondered aloud if we should be taking a second glance at people who buy more than one pressure cooker in their lives, even reminding viewers that those new objects of war have lifetime guarantees.
But just when you thought lunacy was only abundant not he right wing? Just go left young man and you’ll find just as much. Actor Jay Mohr blamed guns—but on the bright side he didn’t blame pressure cookers. And SALON just went all out, saying they hope that the bomber turns out to be a white male.
Yes indeed, we are living through lunacy.
Conspiracy theorists vs media windbags that want to be first place.. FOX pulling the FAMILY GUY while their news station jumped on the Saudi national original villain.
What have we become, my sweetest friends?
Everyone I know gets questioned in the end.
Indeed. What have we become…
With how wrong CNN has been today I take this with a grain of salt
Nonetheless, they report:
An arrest has been made in connection with letters sent to President Barack Obama and Sen. Roger Wicker that authorities are testing for ricin, two federal law enforcement officials said.

STAR WARS.. from here until eternity!
Fans hungry for new STAR WARS movies are going to be hit hard.. we all will be.
Starting in 2015, Disney is planning a NEW STAR WARS MOVIE every summer.. By 2019 we’d see double the STAR WARS films that exist now. And as Entertainment WEEKLY reports, they are actually hoping that the movies start their very own spinoffs that become just as popular as the original movies..
In modern entertainment, there are two important things to consider: 1) Hollywood is out of ideas, and 2) When they have a great idea they overdo it.
And that is what I predict will happen with this flawed Disney plan..
A new movie every summer?
They will market aggressively. We know that..
The originals, however, are still more popular than the newer films. Because of the cast.. and the originality of it all.
These days we’ve seen it all. And we’ll be seeing it all over and over again every year..
A little too much star wars for me.
More horrific Gosnell trial testimony
More information coming from testimony at the Kermit Gosnell Philadelphia abortion trial.. James
Johnson was a janitor and maintenance worker at the ‘clinic’ .. And he testified that he quit the job because he became tired of cleaning baby body parts out of the plumbing system.. he also became sick of scooping baby parts up with a shovel and taking them to a rat infested basement..
Other workers testified that as some women were given drugs and about to abort their babies, they’d put them on toilets where the baby would spill out.. The plumbing often became blocked up with the bodies..
Every day you’d think this trial could not get worse. And every day it does.

- Latest numbers: There are three dead.. 134 injured.. the number is grim but sure to rise. Among the dead, an 8-year-old child.. and among the injured, many children. Some are having their limbs amputated tonight in hospitals..
- The scene was one of chaos near the finish line today as both bombs went off nearly at the same time..
- TIME MAGAZINE goes inside a Boston emergency room treating the injured[LINK HERE]
- The Saudi national, and ‘person of interest,’ under guard.. [LINK HERE]
- The NEW YORK TIMES is reporting that there were potentially five devices.. Police officials said one was blown up in a controlled explosion..[LINK HERE]
- Flights are banned over the site
- NBA cancels Celtics game
- Cell phone use is heavy and still operating in Boston..
- According to CNN tonight, doctors are frantically pulling ball bearings out of people who are injured.. primary injuries appear to be tissue and lower body hits..
- Obama does not call the attack terror [LINK HERE]
- Insult to injury: Newtown parents were in the stands when explosions went off..
- The final mile was dedicated to Newtown families [LINK HERE]
- Witness tells reporters: “I saw blood everywhere”
Perhaps the most troubling thing tonight is that there is no claim of responsibility, there is no suspect, and there are no answers. The night of 9/11, when Bush addressed the nation, for better or worse we had a shared cause and a new found enemy of the state—twelve years of war and missteps we question more now than we did then.. but the cause was just that night when George W. Bush gave his prime time address from the Oval Office.. this time, we have no clue as to who will be blamed…
Will the Saudi national become a suspect?
Will it be a domestic group?
Will it be an international group?
Is this the beginning of a new age of soft targets being targeted? Are we entering an age of low-grade terror with big implications?
There are more questions than answers tonight..
With time, we will heal. With time, more will be known.. And with time, we’ll have an idea as to what today will mean to the nation’s future.
But until then, doctors will frantically treat traumatic injuries and funerals will take place for children way too young to leave this earth in a act of terrorism..
This world is so often a seemingly endless mass of poisonous psychopaths. Welcome to the planet Earth.

The Beeb shows just how tacky he can be
Get ready world: Justin Bieber is about to attack teenagers as a spokeschild for a company that wants to sell them debit cards. That’s right, hook them in early and addict them to plastic for life.
But while the Beeb is prepping for that crime against monetary decency, he may have overstepped the line when it comes to what stars should and should not say. His comments concerning Anne Frank are frankly tacky—and more so quite shocking that the Beeb specimen may see a backlash of anger.. Maybe his 60% of fake Twitter followers will help out, though..
Here is the story, from TMZ no less:
I don’t think I could have summed it up better than TMZ’s final sentence in the dispatch..
Anne Frank would have been a belieber..
I know he’s into himself.. but by God, this much? So much so that, given the history of Anne Frank and the human race during the 20th century’s great war, he leaves only thinking about what she would have thought of him?? Unbeeblievable.

Here is the story, from TMZ no less:
Bieber visited the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam Saturday. According to the Facebook page for the museum (yes, the Anne Frank House has a Facebook page), Bieber was there a few friends and bodyguards and went inside while a throng of fans waited outside.
The museum then explained … “He stayed more than an hour in the museum. In our guestbook he wrote: ‘Truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a belieber.’”
Had she lived … the April 13 diary entry would surely have included the word “douchebag.”

Gosnell’s employees say they were just doing what their boss told them to..Some said it was the best job they could find.. Just following orders? We’ve heard that before in history, now haven’t we?
