The ethics of storm chasing. And watching it
A very interesting story is appearing in SLATE today..A former stormchaser now thinks the idea of chasing severe weather is unethical..
I will be upfront: I love watching live storm coverage, especially hurricane and tornado reports. But I equally think news forecasters who are paid by their employer to go into the storm is unethical. If one does it himself or herself, I think it’s based more on a passion.. I always think back to when Vince McMahan made Owen Hart get hoisted over 100 feet above the wrestling ring, and then he fell to his death.It’s a tough call..
Perhaps it could also be said that ‘ghost hunting’ is as unethical if not more so than storm chasers. If you believe in ghosts, that is..

Get ready for a new internet meme: The Creepy Paddington bear. .. and any time someone destroys the innocence and beauty of youth, it’s creepy.

A very rare double tornado struck yesterday in Nebraska..And with it came heartbreak: A five-year-old is among the dead.. Others are injured.. According to AP dispatches, more than half of the town of Pilger, Nebraska, is destroyed..
The stranger part of the double tornado strike: Usually one tornado is stronger than the other and energy from ones feeds the other. In this case, both tornadoes appear to have been of the same strength and ferocitiy..
At one point, the twin tornadoes straddled a major highway..
Town all but wiped off the map..

Starbucks offers workers free college tuition
TEMPE, Ariz. — Starbucks employees nationwide will be eligible for a free college education through Arizona State University’s online program beginning this fall.

At this point, Miley Cyrus should just start her own nude website in which people watch her scratch herself and stick her tongue out all day.. The less than dignified music sensation posted a photograph of herself prior to a shower. Topless. Good thing you can’t smell a person through Instagram—after all this was prior to bathing. Smellagram is a future endeavor, but until then we can only just imagine..
There has been a dramatic escalation of violence in Iraq over the weekend as ISIS—or now ISIL (the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant)—has been accused of mass murder. The accusation makes it easy when they go online to brag about their mass murder.. There are images and grisly videos circulating the world wide web.. the entire planet can now see the barbaric nature with which ISIL/ISIS imposes Sharia Law. And now this: Iran is directly getting involved with the conflict while the United States contemplates what else it will do.. In the meantime all eyes are on the Baghdad Embassy where personnel are still housed and militants take over more areas, closing in on the city..
At this point: 550 (or more?) Marines are on a warship in the Persian Gulf..
And of course there are some websites that argue the images are faked and photoshopped.. DUTCHSINSE paints a good picture that some may be, but not all are.. nor are all videos.. Sometimes “conspiracy” is shouted too often and too loudly..After all, let’s take a quick historical trip down amnesia lane .. Many are pointing out (rightly so) that the Bush adventure in Iraq was a bad move, few are speculating on how the recent movements by ISIS could actually be a product of the Obama Administration.. Lest we forget.. America’s allies are funding ISIS and so is America, too.. recent history tells us that it’s unwise to play our meager chess games in the Middle East. There’s never a victory..

America's Allies Are Funding ISIS
The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), now threatening Baghdad, was funded for years by wealthy donors in Kuwait, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, three U.S. allies that have dual agendas.
Some truth from the DAILY BEAST..
But you can go back to JANUARY of 2014 to find even more truth about ISIS and how they are getting their money—besides banks in cities they take over in Iraq. The UK TELEGRAPH reported in January that the United States was secretly backing ISIS with millions in cash and weapons.. And even prior to that the WASHINGTON TIMES reported that US allies were letting funds flow freely to ISIS.. GLOBAL RESEARCH reported on all of this in April of this year ..
So we fund them in Syria.. but bomb them in Iraq …? We are ok with their beheadings of Assad’s forces but anti beheadings of the Shiites?
Something is wrong with our chess game.
Something is very, very wrong…

Fatherly advice
When your child is three, don’t fret too much. Things will change, surely.. Attitudes change.. mood swings get intense.. But the love is still immense.
It’s amazing to have conversations with your son or daughter.. it’s unbelievable to fathom that they have opinions, tastes, wants, desires.. hopes.. and yes, fears. They see shadows and ponder the source, and hear sounds and wonder the location.. They fear what’s under the bed. But deep down, don’t you, too? Whether it’s the childlike reality or the modern day adult version, we still fear the unknown.
I certainly do..
Ayden is three, going on 30. Still over 20 months until he would start a traditional Kindergarten, but I fear that.
I fear bullies and I fear violence. I hope we raise Ayden to be himself and listen to his own voice, instead of falling for peer pressure.. I hope my wife and I bring Ayden the best of the world but warn him of the worst..
And I hope and pray to whatever God is above or below that the boy has a life worth remembering..
Ayden made me a card at day care the other day. It was a paper cutout of a tie colored by him, with a note inside saying he loves me. He wrote his own name *with help* but was exceptionally proud of it.. I was too. I proudly hung it on the refrigerator (trying to find room around all of the other things he brought him for me and his mommy) ..
To me Father’s Day is a day of practicality.. Love.. and abundant joy over having a child who hopefully looks up to you and always will.
I plan on singing along with Ayden to songs from Phineas and Ferb episodes to celebrate. I hope we still can do such things when he’s 13 and 33..

Meanwhile, in June 2014: The Islamic State of Iraq is rising.. Tikrit has fallen. . Mosul has fallen.. As a matter of fact, one story from Mosul states that there may ‘not be one Christian left’ in the city. Baghdad may fall next. At least 500,000 have fled.. and graphic (warning, very graphic) footage is now online of what Iraq’s current state of upheaval looks like..

This seems troubling...
RSOE EDIS Event Report - A device containing radioactive substances was stolen from a government research facility and authorities are working to track it down, Mexico’s No. 2 official said. “We have the report regarding the theft of this material and the alerts and protocol we follow in these cases have already been implemented,” Government Secretary Miguel Angel Osorio Chong told reporters after speaking at a conference of state law enforcement chiefs and attorneys general. Exposure to the cesium-37 and americium-beryllium inside the stolen piece of equipment is not likely to cause permanent injury
This seems troubling...
The devil’s in the details. And maybe in the clouds.. This image was shot at a UK rock festival.. There was a heavy thunderstorm and this face-like feature ensued in the clouds. Of course the instant rejection occurred as readers said the image was Photoshopped, but judging from the comment thread on the article, the image was real, as some testify. They say they were there, and saw the devil emerge from the thunderstorm above.. Regardless of its authenticity, the image is creepy..

NASA is testing a flying saucer like craft device for a Mars landing.. read that again: WE are going to land a flying saucer on Mars. Seriously.. is this cranky comedy or something?

I don’t know if it’s irony or just a bitter joke to all of the UFO enthusiasts who believe that circular craft has been flying over the planet Earth for decades..
After all these years and the mighty western invasion, the liberated Iraq is completely disintegrating again.. Anarchy is the reigning champion now in the ‘free’ nation and most of the war gains are lost.
Perhaps most delicate issues are left classified. I could only imagine the Nightmare on Pennsylvania Avenue now as the Obama Administration has to grapple with what to do—should they let it spiral more or try something militarily? The President wanted to be the man who ended two wars.
But now Gulf War II could become Gulf War III.. is the nation ready to fulfill a commitment it made?
Is the neocon crowd set to clean up their mess? Are the Freedom Fries eaters prepared to sacrifice? It’s been ten years + since TIME magazine asked if we want this war.
We did then, we thought..We even burned DIXIE CHICKS albums to prove it.. after it was over we hated it, and ourselves. But taking a long look in the mirror is not enough after you destroy a nation.
Rebuilding is one thing.. but securing something we broke is another. And this place is broken—and apparently breaking further by the day and by the hour..
This Casey Kasem story is depressing..
The story of Casey Kasem has been fascinating and mostly sad recently.. While now we know where he is, the chances of the world losing this icon is greater. Media reports now indicate that the star is near death … but it’s at the hands of his own family. Some of that have opted to stop giving Kasem food, water, and medication through his feeding tube. According to the family, Kasem had a wish prior in writing that he did not want to live under the conditions he is in now.. So with that, Kasem’s demise is coming. A life will be over.. but his voice will live on in infamy. Each and every time you watch SCOOBY DOO.

Solar Flares Disrupt Communications on Earth, Could Send Shockwave on Friday the 13th

Jim Carrey on doing what you love because you may very well fail at things you don’t love.
(Source: https://www.youtube.com/)
Unless you’ve lived under a rock (or chosen not to watch 99% of TV like me) you have heard of the Long Island medium Theresa Caputo.
A few weeks ago at a barbecue, a friend of mine even brought her up and argued about how right and honest she is.. But we now have this from RADAR ONLINE: The publication is reporting that the ‘gifted’ psychic is a fraud and her entire act is a hoax.
That may not shock those who already doubt the paranormal, but it certainly may harm those mentally who have seen her and believed her when she told grieving family members that she was channeling loved ones..
As for me, when I see the LONG ISLAND medium, I typically think of the psychic from the movie MALL RATS. If you’ve ever seen it, I am sure you’ll remember her for her fame..
Nonetheless: Here is what RADAR says: She does the typical (getting to know the client and then noticing things about them, typical bad psychic stuff..)
Then this: RADAR says that at a recent Hershey Pennsylvania event, she ‘seemed off’ with all of her guesses about people, and appeared to be grasping at straws at many points during the show..
Wonder if she saw this coming?

Is that a Spiderman on your building or are you just happy to see me? Apparently, some people in South Korea, are very erect in anger over a SPIDERMAN sculpture appearing on a building.
You don’t have to look close to see that a well-endowed SPIDEY must have taken too many of those drugs that television commercials show men taking before bathing with women in a flower garden.
That’s right.. he has an erection, presumably lasting more than four hours.. The artist has been pressured to remove the statue.
While some may laugh at the image and deem it to be less than offensive, consider this fact: The statue was directly above a playground.
Obviously not suitable for all ages—or really any age in my opinion.

Slow motion history set to repeat itself
20 years ago this month, the entire nation was fixated on a slow motion drama that played out on LA freeways.. OJ Simpson was evading the law in a white bronco .. eventually police arrested him, and the rest of the story played out, ending with an innocent verdict for the murder of his wife and her friend..
It was pre internet but it was huge. All TV networks joined in the live footage as it played out. CNN is offering up a few things of surprising note about the OJ ‘chase’..
I remember a few things.. I was 14 years old.. I was eating a large DEVITO’S Italian Eatery Sicilian pizza (sadly the Ashland PA restaurant has since closed) and I was watching like the rest of America to the drama as it played out.. Not being much of a sports enthusiast at that age, I just recall the sadness knowing that my favorite goofy cop from the NAKED GUN movies may have been a murderer..
Now all these years later.. CNN is beginning a good year’s worth of ‘20 years later’ coverage of this event.
I just remember how much the nation was gripped by this story.. Television sets were brought into workplaces and schools during the trial, families were torn apart in anger over whether he was guilty.. and race became an issue when TIME magazine chose to darken OJ’s face as opposed to the NEWSWEEK real version.
Back when print mattered.
Back before the net.
And before Marcia Clark’s facelift.
Those were the days..
Consul: Illegal Immigrant Children Complaining Burritos, Eggs They Are Being Fed Making Them Sick
Officials are working to improve conditions at a makeshift holding center in southern Arizona where immigration authorities are housing hundreds of unaccompanied migrant minors.
This is a huge story taking place—and most of the media is paying little to no attention to it..
Several places in the South are now locations where makeshift holding centers are being built to house illegal immigrants pouring into the United States—children being a big number among them.. And now obviously, this story from CBS in Houston is relaying the sicknesses being suffered by children eating the food being given to them by the government..
There have now been three military bases tapped to house illegal immigrants streaming into the United States.. Officials are claiming that the children are being cared for despite abuse allegations being made..
A recent ‘tidal wave’ of children have been pouring into the US from largely central American countries—media reports indicate that many kids are coming in to be with parents already here..
The news on this matter should be reported by media affiliates. It seems to be the beginning of a humanitarian issue within the borders of the United States..

Maybe the mass grave mystery in Ireland is going to begin making sense
We now know this:
Over 2,000 care-home kids were secretly vaccinated against diphtheria in the 1930s in medical trials undertaken by international drugs giant Burroughs Wellcome, Irish media reveal. Among the testing sites was a recently discovered mass grave.
The medical records cited by the Irish Daily Mail show that some 2,051 children and babies across several Irish care homes may have been subjected to the practice.
Maybe the mass grave mystery in Ireland is going to begin making sense
Okay, you got me good with those links but I still don't think the shootings have no ties with Slenderman at all, just the fucktard news media wanted to blame on something (because again with their hard on for blaming anything other than people).
I agree. I actually tried to make the point originally that the media doesn’t know much at all about where Slenderman started, and now they will be using him as a sensational angle to crime stories..
"Celebrities"
Do NOT hold a “celebrity” above yourself. They are human just like you and just because society has constructed a hierarchical word like “celebrity” does not mean you should EVER feel they are any better than you or that you are not just as good as they are.

REASON MAG: Welcome to the Naked Future
This is really a fascinating REASON story.. and really frightening too.
We are not “close” to the future where privacy is dead, we are in it. The information age and been pushed aside.. hubris and selfishness and selfies have led to people releasing every possible thing about themselves on every app they can.. and all the while, alphabet agencies in the police state are showering themselves with your person information.
It’s here, baby. Welcome to your future.
From REASON, reporting no a new book called THE NAKED FUTURE: WHAT HAPPENS IN A WORLD THAT ANTICIPATES YOUR EVERY MOVE by Patrick Tucker, the money quote:
To illustrate just how naked we all soon will be, Tucker opens with a vignette from the near future in which your cellphone wakes you with a text message alerting you that on your way to work you will run into an old girlfriend who is going to tell you the happy news that she is engaged. The phone tells to you to act surprised at the news. This scenario unfolds as predicted, but instead of waiting for her to tell you, you blurt out your congratulations. As it happens, she not yet made her new romantic status public and is quite alarmed by your mistimed felicitations. The phone did warn you to act surprised.
Tucker then explores the early technologies that are combining to make this future a reality. Consider how the phone knew that you would run into your old girlfriend. Tucker discusses database investigations conducted by University of Rochester researcher Adam Sadelik to predict where people will be in the future using Bayesian software techniques. Parsing a database of 26 million tweets, of which 7.6 million were geotagged, from 1.2 million people in Los Angeles and New York, Sadelik tried to learn about the locations of people who did not geotag their tweets. He found that if non-geotaggers have two real friends who do allow their tweets to be mapped, his system “can predict your location at any moment (down to 328 feet and within a 20 minute time frame) with 47 percent accuracy.” That’s nearly a 50-50 chance of catching you, even if you think you’re opting out.
….welcome to your life.

Faceless Slender Man Linked to More Slashings, Shootings
A fictional horror creature popularized by Internet memes is now linked to three violent crimes.
Another link that may help the anonymous questioner a few hours ago that tried to say I am making things up..
And to another questioner who called me names (so I will not publish that one): I know Slenderman is not real.. I get he was made up. But the meme and tupla existed far longer than the Slenderman of internet fame.. the powerful image of a faceless tall man has been around for some time.
The real issue here is not that Slenderman has come alive and taken over minds, the real issue is that the media is going to sensationalize a monster that is not real..
Remember: There were never knives in apples on Halloween, even though we check every year.. And Slenderman is not real. Even though three crimes are now being blamed no him by mainstream media..

Rats are capable of feeling regret, scientists say
Rats are capable of feeling regret about their own actions, an emotion that has never previously been found in any other mammals apart from humans.
So .. does that make you feel a bit more guilty about rat lab experimentation? Maybe they’d feel guilty about it..
This is a pretty important study in my book.. If I had a book about studies, I suppose.

I see NOTHING in the article that one of them dressed as Slenderman or any photos of it. Calling bullshit on your click bait about it BIG TIME.
I think you were referring to my latest post about the Las Vegas shooter reportedly dressing as Slenderman..
I think you need to click through to an article I linked, such as this from CNN:
While authorities have yet to identify them, a woman who says she lived near them told CNN affiliate KTNV that the married couple liked to dress up as the villainous Batman characters Joker and Harley Quinn.
The neighbor, Krista Koch, told the station the man also sometimes dressed as Slenderman, a fictional horror character that recently surfaced in the stabbing of a 12-year-old girl in Wisconsin.
Hope that helps.. And perhaps absolves me of ‘click bait’
This is an amazing shot.. a ‘red rainbow’ appeared over Atlanta last week after a storm.. Beautiful.
It looks eerily like the cover of UNDER THE DOME by Stephen King..
MORE Slenderman related crimes!?
Yet ANOTHER story that has a Slenderman tie in is making news today.. it was reported hours ago that a girl in Ohio who was fascinated by ‘Slenderman’ tried to stab her mother.. this after a Wisconsin stabbing a week ago by two 12-year-olds who wanted to visit Slenderman at his forest mansion.. And now this: A shooting occurred Sunday in Las Vegas.. Two right wing extremists yelled “this is a revolution” before they killed two police officers. Then they ran into a Walmart and a killed a shopper before the wife killed her husband and then herself.. IT seems to have been political in nature, but there is a weird tie-in to Slenderman.
The couple reportedly named: Jerad and Amanda Miller (no official confirmation on the names yet). A neighbor told media that they dressed as the JOKER and Harley Quinn… and the Jerald reportedly dressed as Slenderman…..
This is getting bizarre.. for a few reasons.
First off, this is not the first time the JOKER has been a meme involved in a crime.. nor, obviously, is it the first time that Slenderman has been, either..
In a random world of chaos.. this happens
I am always perplexed by the ‘coincidences’ that fill our headlines and litter our histories.. Things that should not happen simply because the rare occasion of them occurring would need stars to line up and miracles (or the opposite) to occur.
One such event made news in Texas.. A head-on collision took place on Road 87 North and FM 2379. Both drivers were pronounced dead.. both drivers, in separate cars, were married.. the husband and wife had their respective lives extinguished at the hands of each other..
There are three children that survive without a mother and father now. A tragic accident.. a strange series of events that caused both to be at the wrong place at the right time.. both now dead at the hands of some force or fate that often destroys people and ruins lives. With is this yin and yang we call life? What is this series of unfortunate events we call coincidence?
Hearts out to the grieving relatives and friends.. But I am still amazed and confused of the chances of this occurring and the fact that it did..

Be careful if you re-tweet
The CIA is now on Twitter.. Their first tweet saying they could neither confirm nor deny its their first tweet exploded in popularity.
Don’t tell me for a second you wouldn’t excrete a brick if they followed you.
HUSTLER BUST
A few months ago HUSTLER magazine was trying to court Justin Bieber. Now, because of the boy no-wonder’s 15-year-old racist rants, Larry Flynt is turning away.. The man child star may have lost his chance for HUSTLER fame.
We missed the beast from the east.. Hopefully there's none in the west
Yet another massive asteroid—this was called ‘the beast’— sailed its way past the earth without fanfare or incident.. Thankfully.. if HQ124 hit, it could have been monstrous. The troubling part about the Beast—along with many other asteroids lately—is how they get discovered just before they may potentially strike. This was in April.. The size of this one has many scratching their heads as to why it took so long to see..
More on the Tracy Morgan tour bus wreck..
Not all facts known at this time.. but here is what has been made public and collective through various sources:
One person is dead in the accident..
Six were injured when the tour bus carrying Tracy Morgan overturned.. While alcohol was not said to have played a role in it, there is still an investigation into that ..
The wreck involved two tractor trailers and an SUV..
Not much information has been revealed by the hospital where Morgan is at due to medical privacy issues, but various news organizations have confirmed that Morgan was involved and is in critical condition.
NBC 10 in Philadelphia has reported that Morgan is in ICU at this hour.. This strange and tragic turn of events came hour after Morgan had a large audience for a stand up comedy show in Delaware..
Perhaps one of the scariest Clyde Lewis programs *and radio shows in general* took place last night.. Lewis took GROUND ZERO deep into the paranormal with a show about why we fear clowns. But things got a bit weirder.. during the program, Lewis also had a live online broadcast of a clown.. A camera was fixated on a lone clown doll locked in a room in the radio studio. And yes.. the clown did move. Certainly worth the listen on Soundcloud if you have the time..
