Zimmerman's lawyer compares Trayvon death to kids who die of cancer...

Ugh..

Zimmerman's lawyer compares Trayvon death to kids who die of cancer...

Saturday night’s main event.

Bars and restaurants filled with patrons undoubtedly are now suddenly embroiled in Saturday night conversations about George Zimmerman, Tweeting their thoughts, and lamenting the justice system if they disagree..

There will be outrage and rage.. some will be happy that the justice system, for all purposes, seemed to work. Work in the sense where a jury finds a defendant not guilty because the prosecution substantially failed in proving the case of Zimmerman murdering Trayvon Martin in cold blood… one night in Florida months ago.

Tonight, when a jury of six women, five mothers, found Zimmerman not guilty, the justice system was exposed…It’s flawed and often wrong.. sloppy and long.. Legal briefs are abundant.. nights are late.. And the battles are more than skin deep.

When Casey Anthony was found not guilty, so many felt a world of horror for her daughter who had no justice… And now tonight, many feel the same for Trayvon Martin..

Trends are trending on Twitter tonight. Facebook is alive and well with passionate opinions.. Bloggers are opining .. in person, many are rambling. 

This trial intrigued the nation.
And whenever a trial does that, it causes so much division.

Maybe it’s time, as a nation, we come to grips with the fact that we are needlessly divided by race.

When it comes down to it, what really divides us? 

Are we divided by race?
The class system?
Religious differences?
money..?

Money.

It somehow goes back to money.

And money will be the issue now, as the civil litigation against George Zimmerman will begin. Most likely immediately.

OJ was found not guilty last century. But the civil lawsuits got him—even before he got himself by getting caught robbing his own trophies…

The George Zimmerman trial has played out, and now the outcome will play out..

It wasn’t 12 angry men, but instead 6 something women. Maybe if the jurors express their thoughts, we’ll find out if they were angry or happy with their decision..

Not guilty

The jury has reached a verdict in the trial of George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer accused of murdering Trayvon Martin.

Here we go…

So I must ask.. who is PACIFIC RIMMING this weekend?

More saki, more happy, more foodie, more drinky.

I am going to attempt to stay out of the ever-so-controversial weeds of the George Zimmerman case..

But I can only say this.. I am annoyed, very annoyed actually, with the amount of times both the prosecution and defense used the word ‘really’ in their closing arguments. Apparently both sides have been watching lots of old Tina Fey/Seth Meyers “really” skits from the Weekend Update bit on Saturday Night Live.

It was completely overdone.

At one point the defense lawyer, you know the one who looks like a sick cross between John Kerry and Mark Furhman of OJ fame, said “really? really? really? really? ” .. .REALLY?!

Enough! 

The jury, all six strong, should have in lockstep shouted back ‘YES REALLY!’

Really.

Clyde Lewis is finally back on radio..

Last night, the long awaited return of Clyde Lewis on radio took place.  Lewis has been absent his hosting duties for several weeks since his operation to remove tumors from his kidney..

During his return program, Lewis was emotional about the operation he just went through, and was seemed concerned that his future may hold more bouts with his cancer.. 

For his return  program, he was joined on Ground Zero Radio by Al Jourgensen, the ‘godfather of industrial music’..   His subject matter was titled ‘In my time of dying’..

While his guest was interesting, it’s much more likely that listeners tuned in to hear Clyde’s harrowing tale of being under the knife, in medical are.

Clyde opened the program relaying the now most-sent news story of the “dead” woman who woke up on an operating table—just as doctors were about to remove her organs.. Lewis said it was something like that which scared him more than anything, especially since he has been through many medical issues in his life..

Clyde Lewis sounded heartfelt and graceful in his attitude and approach concerning his return. He had emotional words towards his finance, who undoubtedly has been affected emotionally by Lewis’ condition..

During his time away recovering, Clyde Lewis was forced to post a video of himself to prove he was alive, as rumors became rampant online that he passed away as a result of his cancer. Some on his Facebook page, even last night, wondered if he had returned too soon to the radio. However, anyone who listened to the show will realize that Clyde Lewis puts his entire heart into his job—it certainly doesn’t sound like work for him, but instead a way of life.

This website is  biased. We love Ground Zero Radio and have come to truly respect Clyde Lewis.

We are happy as hell that he’s back hosting the program live.. 

But we also hope, as did many of his fans, that he did not return too soon for his own good.

Prayers and positive thoughts will continue to be with him.

PS: You can still donate to Clyde Lewis to help defray his steep medical costs.. 

They won’t have Big Sis to kick around anymore.. she’s off to the University and leaving Homeland Insecurity behind..

WANNTATAKEARIDE?

Those who have been paying any attention to ARTBELL.COM will now notice that the website not only has a sound effect in the background, but also text morse code on the page.. The code reads as follows:

.— .- -. -. .-      - .- -.- .      .-      .-. .. -.. . ..—..

Some savy internet users immediately realized that the hidden code would be discerned quickly at http://morsecode.scphillips.com/jtranslator.html .. it appears that a user on CoastGab.com was the first to crack the code—a code that translated to WANNATAKEARIDE, the saying Art Bell used to use when he hosted Coast to Coast AM..

It may be debatable as to who first deciphered what the code was, but it is even more debatable as to what it means.

Art Bell himself took to Twitter to write this:

Delbert Weinbrum was first to decode http://t.co/7LQoK9aIDE and as I said on Facebook, it means exactly what you think it does.

— Art Bell (@ArtBell51) July 12, 2013

A few minutes later, after giving credit to a Facebook user for being the first to respond to the code, Art Bell wrote this:

That is all I can comment on for now, stay tuned.

— Art Bell (@ArtBell51) July 12, 2013

Anyone who has followed Art Bell for any given time will know that staying tuned means being very, very patient.

Since he joined Facebook years back, rumors were persistent that he would make a return  to radio. He has voiced his discontent with the current incarnation of Coast to Coast AM and George Noory, however he decided to not take deals offered to him to compete with the show—even going to Facebook to explain to his followers that he did not want to destroy the program he created..

But now, the most recent behavior indicates that he may actually come back to the spotlight in some form.

That or he plans on posting a new photo of an RV he intends on going on summer vacation in.

That is the mysterious part of Bell’s messages..

We can do nothing but stay tuned..

Developing..

How to kill an area; Leave it

There has been an exodus from the coal region of Pennsylvania over the past generation.. high unemployment, economic conditions worse than other areas, and traveling to better jobs, all have forced younger people away from Schuylkill County .. And now the POTTSVILLE REPUBLICAN is sharing knowledge that has already been assumed: Most people who are young want to leave Schuylkill County..

Schuylkill County commissioners had a press conference on Thursday. They say that the county has lots to offer—presumably more than Yuengling beer and the A-Hole in Girardville—but they lament the fact so many young want to leave the area. To put a number on that,  survery was conducted of the ‘yout’ of the region.. it found that 55% want don’t plan on living in the county when they are adults.

Of course, kids have grand plans. There is sure something about the coal region, maybe those tentacles of coal veins, that latch on to your spirit and trap you in the area.. Kids today become coal-region bar hoppers tomorrow, still wearing their varsity football jackets, trying to relive the dream of yesteryear. Just place GLORY DAYS by the Boss, and most will tear up thinking about the Friday night lights—unless your school didn’t have lights, in which case you’ll think of Saturday Afternoon Sun (*Cardinal Brennan football players would understand that*)…

So ….what would be a model for the future?

Two possibilities exist:

1) The county will continue to perish slowly, like a miner running out of oxygen in a confined space.. It will keep its high unemployment, and is generation of disenchanted kids..

2) Many who leave the area for experience and knowledge, will actually come back to Schuylkill county at some point in their lives, and bring progress to the area. The future will feature people, people who don’t sport mullets and cutoff jean shorts, creating jobs and hope .. 

Which possibility is more likely? 

A stroll down any street, Schuylkill County, will show how difficult number 2 would be to achieve.

Thanks to all the new followers recently..

Very humbling.

Hopefully my crazy talk tonight on 432 hz didn’t drive you away..

Those those who want to listen, Rob Simone on Coast to Coast AM went in depth on the 528 hz in 2011. . It was an interesting show, and until today I completely forgot I listened to it.

Maybe I was the victim of frequency mind control.

What's the frequency Kenneth?

Good REM song.. remember that? Dan Rather should.

Nonetheless, I am researching all of this crazy HZ information and came across an interesting article on the 528 hz.. The ‘love frequency’ .. This website at least concluded that 432 hz is the best..

So they say..

Is this all crazy to you?

Here is the DOORS, changed from 440 hz to 432 hz.. Can your ears tell any difference?

I notice it..

LET IT BE at 432 hz.. Much better.

So let’s get a little conspiratorial and crazy, shall we?

Here’s a video where your untrained ear can most likely tell the difference between 432 hz and 440 hz.. Which ones makes you feel calmer, I ask?

I think there’s something to this whole vibration of the earth thing..

(Source: https://www.youtube.com/)

Sadly no one emailed me a song that made them happy..

But I had a fallback plan. I resorted to actually conversing with people—in person—about the topic throughout the day…

Quite an array of tunes..

Lionel Richtie..
Lee Greenwood (yes someone actually said that)
Even Annie Lennox.

I found out, though, whether it was LOVE GROWS WHERE MY ROSEMARY GOES or SWEET DREAMS… I can find some happiness with the songs mentioned by friends and co-workers too.

So it gives me the feeling that, regardless of the era of time or the artist who created it, everyone’s happy song has a common thread: they are just songs that make you feel good. Even if you didn’t realize someone else’s song could make you happy too, you realized after they said it.. “well,  golly that song makes me happy too.” And you need to use the word ‘golly’ for it to be truly happy.

The other thing I began to contemplate was that old rumor and conspiracy theory that the 432 hz frequency we should be is on is perverted by the 440 hz we were placed on. Maybe these happy songs are on the 432? Just sayin..

Maybe some happy songs coming tonight.. along with some conspiracy talk about those strange HZ rumors..

Thirsty for happiness Thursday

Looking for positive thoughts today..

My favorite happy song is Love Grows Where my Rosemary goes (and not because of the movie SHALLOW HAL!)

The AFP reports..

Pope Francis on Thursday bolstered criminal legislation against child abuse in the Vatican in an overhaul of laws that apply to the clergymen and lay people who work in the tiny city state.
The Vatican said in a statement that the pope’s decree included “a broader definition of the category of crimes against minors” including child prostitution, sexual acts with children and child pornography.

This is great news! Amen.

Ok.. anyone who worked in the food industry knows what a Mother’s Day cleanup or a New Years Eve night looks like. But i don’t care how bad the restaurant you were in was, it looks nothing like this Golden Corral …

There have been images posted online, including this one, that will be sure to shock your system .. And maybe your digestive track if you’ve recently eaten there.

By the way, for your health, the restaurant is in Florida..

Piles of trash.. ‘fresh’ meat near dumpsters.. 

And to all the dirty restaurants among us: The net is filled with foodies and whistleblowers.

If your kitchen is this bad, it deserves to be online for all to see..

My lifestyle change continues

Last night I proposed a one ingredient (and substantially  more standing) lifestyle. Today was day one.. I think it went well. Carrot juice in the morning followed by an apple, chicken with salt and pepper at lunch and broccoli.. dinner is yet to be determined.

The goal is not to really lose weight, though that would not be a bad thing, but also to just be overall …. better. Feel better, act better, live better. That is the true goal of the one ingredient standup lifestyle..

We will see how this goes..

In the mean time, here are 20 other healthy foods to consider

When the Google stops the doodle

This from CNN:

Google and related services were inaccessible to some users this morning, prompting confusion and consternation across the Web.

Reports of outages began about 9:30 a.m. ET and quickly spread on Twitter, with users asking if the problem was affecting others as well.

Among the services affected were Gmail, Google Plus, Google Drive and YouTube. According to anecdotal reports, the outages appeared to be most prevalent among users in the Southeastern United States.

Google did not immediately comment on the problem.

Apparently the outages prove Google just hired someone from Tumblr. I jest!
But..
Thank God it’s summer. If it was a school year kids would be flunking tests from sea to shining sea this morning!


Alternatives for your outage: DuckDuckGo and StartPage

Look no further than Geocities.. This website captures some of the classics..

I myself had a few Geoshitties sites.. 

It was the original Myspace.. the original blogger..the original Facebook.. it predated Tumblr. The divorced dads and Jeep lovers from the 1990s paved the way for the personal blogs and opinionated sites of today.

God bless Geocities, and the pavers of the internet superhighway.

But Yahoo! shut down Geocities.
And now Yahoo! owns Tumblr…

Hmmm….

From the cute little Beeb to the depths of depravity

I haven’t had any kind words for Justin Bieber. I’ve maintained no fever.
And with TMZ report about Bieber urinating into a mop bucket at a NYC city restaurant and cussing
Bill Clinton, my already 0% regard for him has now plummeted j to the negative territory.

I will not say anything that hasn’t been already..

I think every working man, woman, and child should be offended at this. It’s tasteless sure, but even more so is an insult to minimum wage workers and disregarded service employees—many of whom should be busy deleting any songs they own featuring the voice of Beebs.

Yes, indeed….the cell phone camera is always spying. In this matter, Bieber was using his own urine in an attempt to humiliate the people who most likely just waited on him hand and foot. But instead he only disgraced himself even further than the repugnant little creature has done previously..

"€œWhy did you shoot me? I was reading a book”: The new warrior cop is out of control

Good to see so many people linking this around the Internet(s) .. I linked it a few days past.. Love seeing everyone in agreement, right and left, about the state of American police…

antigovernmentextremist:

[T]he Fourth Amendment requires that searches be “reasonable.” If using a SWAT team to make sure a bar isn’t serving nineteen-year-olds is a reasonable use of force, it’s hard to imagine what wouldn’t be.

I’m digging this because I’m reading through his new book as all of these articles are being posted online. I’m so glad that this topic is receiving more much needed attention. I mean, the Department of Education has their own fucking SWAT team for crying out loud.

My step-dad was a sheriff in Dallas, Texas for fifteen years so when the topic of police abuse comes up you can imagine the kinds of discussions it devolves into. In just the few years since my step-dad retired, the police force in America has changed dramatically.

Federal worker: Watch you co-workers

In an initiative aimed at rooting out future leakers and other security violators, President Barack Obama has ordered federal employees to report suspicious actions of their colleagues based on behavioral profiling techniques that are not scientifically proven to work, according to experts and government documents.

Even more from McClatchyDC:

Federal employees and contractors are asked to pay particular attention to the lifestyles, attitudes and behaviors – like financial troubles, odd working hours or unexplained travel – of co-workers as a way to predict whether they might do “harm to the United States.” Managers of special insider threat offices will have “regular, timely, and, if possible, electronic, access” to employees’ personnel, payroll, disciplinary and “personal contact” files, as well as records of their use of classified and unclassified computer networks, polygraph results, travel reports and financial disclosure forms.

It's rather sickening to think about the percentage of the day I am sitting for

I have been inspired by my nephew, a little over a decade younger than me, coming back from several weeks of his training to become a Marine and seeing a healthy, altogether different looking young man.. It made me realize the roly poly little bout-faced boy I am becoming needs to stop.

I think it’s time to become thinking about healthy. I am heading quickly into the 30s.. and then the early midlife. And God forbid some type of strange crisis. Luckily for my family we don’t have the money to spend on a Corvette—but whatever stopped a man from making rash decisions without fundage  before, right?

Nonetheless.. I have decided on a new healthy lifestyle decision. First off, eliminate as much sitting as possible. We all know lots of studies and research exists to show just how much we sit, and how it could actually be deadly for our health… And yes, it will be tougher playing ANGRY BIRDS while standing.. but these are the pitfalls of a healthy choice.

The other factor into healthy life 101: Eliminate as many GMO foods as possible *sometimes that’s impossible* .. but to make it even simpler, I am going with the ‘one ingredient diet.’ 

While I don’t know and did not research whether anyone coined the term ‘one ingredient diet’ yet, I am going to attempt to claim credit in my ignorance. 

My simple notion of this diet: Don’t eat anything with more than one ingredient.

For example: If you want lemon peppered salmon, you would purchase; Non-GMO fresh caught salmon (good luck, I know), a lemon, pepper, and butter. You would NOT purchase the seasoning already made or margarine, as they have more than one ingredient. If you want applesauce, buy an apple, sugar, and mash it together. Avoid the applesauce with added ingredients, splenda, and especially ASPARTAME (cue the dread music.)

So it’s not that you’re only eating one thing, you can actually combine your one ingredients together to make a meal.

This will get rough.. indeed. 

But for generations, no, CENTURIES, we’ve done this. We’ve cooked, and made our own food.. And now, today, even this day, people are dying off quickly from the last generation that knew how to cook. Like, really cook. Like cook their butts off to the point where you never had anything that tasted that good. THAT is the purpose of the one ingredient diet. You cook your own food, slower, and longer, and you appreciate what you’re eating more. And you can also get to know what you’ve been eating. 

There were be some exceptions. For example, if I cannot find sunflower seeds without salt, I can cheat and get ones with  the salt.. I don’t care to make my own bread so I will buy from local bakers who only add the basic ingredients instead of the 500 that big makers put in..

And wine and beer?

Well.. not sure yet on the wine aspect.. Needs to research what ingredients go into FUNKY LLAMA, my favorite brand. But I have the beer thing covered: Straub from Pennsylvania. Good beer, no salt or sugar added..

So wish my luck .. hopefully this mission won’t become an ordeal. Maybe if it works I can market it.. Unless someone else did that already. And if you did, don’t sue me.. Pay me to help you!

And drink up, healthy beer style.

Americans Need to See the Violence of War, Police and Torture

We constantly fail to acknowledge the atrocities of war , street violence, and human rights abuses that our own government is committing.

This is more than an interesting story appearing on TRUTHOUT from the DAILY TAKE.. The idea that for Americans to understand torture and the effects of American policy, we have to see the most brutal of scenes..

It bring sup one question in my mind: Have we become numb to torture, that even if we did see it we’d look away and not even care?

We have been handed torture fest films for a decade since 9/11.. TV shows glorify hardcore violence against someone for the purposes of extracting information  (think 24) ..  how many SAW films did they make now?

So when we really see the real thing… do we even notice anymore?

What kind of a society are we in?

We did change since 9/11. That is no lie..

Americans Need to See the Violence of War, Police and Torture

Chucky is 25. Did you know that?

And I guess in that age of movies, you’re bound to be direct to DVD..

But.. now I realize something.. me, and others in my generation, practically grew up with CHILD’S PLAY. It was the horror movie always there since we were young. Interesting when you put that perspective on it.
