There are rumors online that Vladimir Putin is either sick, or even dead!
The NYT says,
The last confirmed public sighting was at a meeting with Prime Minister Matteo Renzi of Italy on March 5 — although the Kremlin would have citizens think otherwise. Given that the Kremlin borrows all manner of items from the Soviet playbook these days, there appeared to be an attempt to doctor the president’s timetable to show that all was well.
This is how the ASSOCIATED PRESS dispatch reports it for the official record:
NASA launched four identical spacecraft Thursday on a billion-dollar mission to study the explosive give-and-take of the Earth and sun’s magnetic fields. The unmanned Atlas rocket - and NASA’s Magnetospheric Multiscale spacecraft - soared into a clear late-night sky, right on time. Within two hours, all four observatories were flying free.
A billion bucks to study, as the AP also reports, this:
Magnetic reconnection is what happens when magnetic fields like those around Earth and the sun come together, break apart, then come together again, releasing vast energy. This repeated process drives the aurora, as well as solar storms that can disrupt communications and power on Earth. Data from this two-year mission should help scientists better understand so-called space weather.
Since CERN was just being planned, people feared it would create a gaping black hole or alternate reality for everyone living on earth. Some even argue that it did just that, thinning the veil in a sense and giving us a whole new vibration..
And now with NASA satellites traveling to the sky to study magnetic reconnection, and some CERN magnetic happenings, all eyes are on the multiverse this weekend. Let’s see how things go..
A red alert has been issued for Vanuatu as a massive cyclone begins to lash the South Pacific island nation.
The WEATHER CHANNEL has this:
With Cyclone Pam expected to deal a major blow to the island nation of Vanuatu, officials were pleading with the population to get to safety, or risk their lives. The country spent Thursday stocking up and fortifying buildings for the cyclone’s strong winds, torrential rain and devastating storm surge, but experts fear the worst will happen if Pam hits Vanuatu’s population centers directly, especially the coastal capital, Port Vila. The country’s government issued a red alert for all six provinces as Pam closed in, BBC said. The alert orders all of the South Pacific nation’s 250,000 residents to get to shelter immediately, the report added.
And even more intense, a tweet posted by a user Humans of Vanuatu says a few things about the storm, right now, as it hits:
Folks, I’ll be honest. It’s really bad out there. The wind is howling with a deep roar that just doesn’t let up. Anyone not in shelter now is in mortal danger. Frankly, I don’t think our country will make it through this without some deep scars.
And
The shutters are groaning like ghouls, but the power is still on, and my internet is still running full bore. Not sure how I’d be feeling if not for that….

Just got a text from some of the skeleton crew on the Tina 1, one of those ships opposite our house that you saw in the video. They’d love to get off the ship now, but they can’t. They’re stuck there for the duration.
A van carrying radioactive isotope Iridium-192 has crashed in north Bosnia, local media reported. The vehicle ran off the road after colliding with a car.
And more:
Iridium-192 is a radioactive isotope with a half-life of 73.83 days. It is also a strong gamma ray emitter and is commonly used as a gamma ray source in radiography and radiotherapy as a radiation source. According to the UN, Iridium-192 is the isotope that most frequently goes missing when radioactive materials are used to make a dirty bomb.
For anyone who is a horror movie genre, I have a story on my other website about how I hope it’s coming back again.. I can be best described as the most incredulous anti-horror movie horror fan, usually being overly critical of junk and garbage I wish was never made. But the real horror fan in my celebrates the films of the genre that were game changers—those that contained the social commentary and hidden messages only a more intelligent viewer could pick up on..
I have also long believed that professional wrestling and horror movies are both the best ways, at any given time, to see what a ‘generation’ is all about.. You can also cleanly, it seems, chop that up into decades and it makes sense.

I’ll be a foodie tonight.. chick pea cakes with peppers over greens with a homemade barbecue sauce. Brussel sprouts and brown rice. Ultimate dinner ..amazing taste. Homemade apple pie baked in a cast iron skillet for dessert.. all still a part of the one ingredient lifestyle.m
This was eventual.. TIME MAGAZINE gave her the devil horns M curse.. many have receieved.. Hillary is the latest Whether implied or not, a sillouette with a set of devil ears makes the newsstands..
Would you be comfortable with an interactive Barbie that not only records your child’s voice but also uploads them to a cloud? It’s exists . And now child advocates want the toy production to be halted… Good luck fighting this.. my guess is even if the Barbie is banned now another one will come along soon..
If our washing machines will record us in our homes our Barbies will too..
At what point will we allow our old fashioned antiquated and wrong believes about the age and size of the universe dir? And when will we begin to think of the multiverse theory is a way that goes beyond just poking fun at the those who believe it..
Let’s not forget the news just released last week: We found a black hole that, if we are right about how black holes forn, is older than the time frame of the big bang..
Can we sometime soon just admit we practically don’t anything!?
Nothing but blue skies! Good morning from a sunny spring morning in Harrisburg PA
So stop buying books claiming it and assuming it in your daily life.. you’ll be better off once you banish that nonsensical scientific fallacy from your full brain.
Anyone who thought the Department of pre crime was just some figment of some nineties movie’s imagination should have known better. This is how it will be, you will be watched and arrested before you commit a crime. The question will be how right or wrong the technology maybis..
Clinton’s own acknowledgement of the email controversy had previously been limited to a a single tweet, in which she called on the State Department to make public her emails.
While I don’t propose that as a definite, I only bring it up as a possibility..
What if.. what if.. Hillary and Bill thought this whole thing up? Triangulate, slowly drip out the news that Hillary may —cue the music— had a private email system on her personal server.. What if Bill and Hill figured to own this, they release it.. get bombarded, embattled.. and create Hillary as the Teflon woman, the iron lady of the United States.. the comeback kid of the 21st century..
I got this thought today during the theater of Hillary Clinton’s press conference.. she downplayed her scandal. And her first questioner—one that noticeably was chosen by a media handler—asked Hill basically, if a man did what she did, would people care? And Hillary handled it with ease, a smile, and a knowing ‘thank you’ without stating it.
She won today—I know lots of people say she didn’t.. But she won.
In one sense, people like the notion of Hillary because, face it, it’s going to get fun again. Politics will be theater again, good theater.. MEET THE PRESS may actually become a must watch again..
I could be completely wrong about this theory, maybe absolutely wrong.
But as the email slow drip starts, if we see very positive emails of a commander possible Commander In Chief directing situations with ease, then my theory will become more than just a theory..
It’s hard to believe that it’s been one year since the MH370 nightmare started on the planet. And even more unsettling, it took one year until we were told that the locator beacon battery was expired.
Expired.. A new twist.. A new angle.. A new conspiracy.
Nothing ever made sense to me about this news story—nothing. The phone calls that supposedly were being made AFTER the flight went down.. the endless searches in various portions of ocean.. the strange passengers. And now this newest bit of lunacy: The expired pinger.
Nothing made sense and nothing will.
We are one year into a mystery that rocked aviation and has become one of the biggest mysteries that will live on well after this generation expires..
Substitute teacher Sheila Kearns did a very stupid thing when she showed a horror movie to a Columbus, Ohio high school class. But she doesn’t deserve to go to jail.
And this:
Kearns showed abysmal judgment—although she maintained throughout her trial she was unaware of the film’s content. She should never be allowed near a classroom again. But jail? These were high schoolers. Not kindergarteners.
I am in full agreement and have written countless stories on my website concerning this case, and the bizarre chastisement of this woman as some sort of modern day witch. I wonder if her race had something to do with it..
There is a point of ridiculousness too. Chances are most of the students in the class already saw the ABCS OF DEATH–and if they did they would realize it wasn’t even that great of a movie, even the lower forms of people who live and breathe snuff films were not overly excited about this or even the sequel..
Rockoff writes more,
More disturbing than the draconian sentence is the law under which Kearns was prosecuted. Her crime falls under an umbrella of moral codes known colloquially as “obscenity laws.” And while they might seem like a relic from a time when rock and roll was the devil’s music, they’re still on the books in almost every state in the Union.
I am glad, truly glad, that someone besides me is 1) paying attention to this story and 2) upset by the insanity of putting a woman in prison for something that, under all scenarios, isn’t a crime..
A big greetings to all of the new followers who landed on the COAL SPEAKER page this week. Humans.. Humanoids.. alien hybrids.. Art Bell fans. We’re all the same.
For those just joining us, the Coal Speaker is constantly on a quest for world peace and information, truth, and justice.
You can also find the more paranormal and bizarre side of me on www.horrorreport.com, my other site.
Or just peruse the annals of history here on COAL SPEAKER.
Either way, stick around. Even you, PORN BOT who may be fake.
The DRESS went viral last week. Is it black? Blue? Yellow? Or white..
So many debates took place in living rooms across America. While President Obama was mum on NET NEUTRALITY, and the real for the new Internet still had yet to be revealed (AND STILL HAS YET TO BE REVEALED), the debate over a dress color went viral and cruel. It even divided my family..
No better time like now to capitalize on the event.. Which is exactly what The SALVATION ARMY is doing with a new advertising featuring a battered woman wearing the very dress that caused so much pointless division among the millions debating it..
The ad says this: “Is it so hard 2 see black & blue? 1 in 6 women are victims’ … Along with those words: An image of a woman, clearly with the makeup of abuse on her body, in the dress–clearly this time a dress that is gold and white.
The campaign showcases how marketing is now done: Cheap and efficient. And effective all around.
At one time, the question was: Does art imitate life or does life imitate art? Now the real mystery may be: Is life a meme or are memes just life? And amazing fodder for viral marketing techniques..
The overall response from Facebook and Twitter users seeing the marketing campaign has been positive–the dress is ad is powerful and now puts important colors into perspective–things that really matter..
Not in the ARTBELL.COM description is the other side of the coin: The power of Bellgab. The world has yet to find out how much influence they have with the night time voice of the night owls..
Amazing set of headlines.. “Sex-horror’ film? Yeesh..
Now, the chapter is closed with the sentencing today of Sheila Kearns.. One I still don’t get completely.
But no one else seems to be a little queasy with an African American teacher being thrown into jail for showing a horror movie–a legal horror movie–to a class.
AS a matter of fact, media sources are busy playing up the ‘horror’ of her crime, as evidenced by insane headlines running across the NET:
Anne Barnard in the NEW YORK TIMES has the best report online tonight regarding what ISIS has just to the ancient site of NIMRUD in Northern Iraq..
Barnard writes,
It was the latest in a series of attacks on ancient structures and artifacts in Syria and Iraq that the group has destroyed in the name of its harsh interpretation of Islamic law. Last week, Islamic State militants videotaped themselves destroying statues and artifacts in the Mosul Museum and at the Nergal Gate entryway to ancient Nineveh. The militants captured the city during its offensive blitz through much of Iraq last June. “The terrorist gangs of ISIS are continuing to defy the will of the world and the feelings of humanity after they committed a new crime that belongs to its idiotic series,” the ministry said in a statement on its Facebook page, referring to the Islamic State, also known as ISIS, ISIL or Daesh.
And more:
Nimrud is the sprawling site of a city founded by the Assyrian King Shalamansar I, who died in 1245 B.C. Among the most impressive objects at Nimrud are the colossal statues known as “lamassu,” mythological creatures that depict either lions or winged bulls with bearded human heads. Pairs of the 17-ton statues are at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the British Museum.
A statement from Iraq’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities didn’t elaborate on the extent of the damage, saying only that the group continues to “defy the will of the world and the feelings of humanity” with this latest act.
Nimrud was the site of what has been called one of the greatest archaeological sites ever discovered in history..
Incidentally back in the summer of 2010, I also quit Tumblr after a band of neo Nazis started to hate me after posting a historic quote about Adolf hitler.. I soon reentered the fray.. haven’t quit since. but u always could. .
CNN is reporting this as though it’s new.. anyone paying attention to alternative news, such as Shoebot.com, will find this news as no shock. ISIS is murdering gays by throwing them off of buildings.. I think it’s about time a number of groups who have been outraged as the slow progress of LGBT rights in places like Russia—and even sometimes America—begin to educate them on the crimes against humanity taking place daily in places controlled by ISIS…
Harrison Ford has been seriously injured in a plane crash.. this is a developing story
Quite possibly one of the most bizarre and nonsensical online ads I’ve ever seen.. it sort of reminds me of when I use ginger root as a hand and do the voice that Chris Elliott did in Scary Movie 2 to freak out my son.. And I’ll now never look at a carrot the same again..
Just When You Thought driverless Cars Were A Far Way Away.. You’re Wrong. . They are coming next year.. So get ready the grave new road of technology..
The future is bright..and fresh and cold. But if you’re like me you’re both anticipating the amazing ability of a just in time future of groceries but also completely creeped out by the logical and negative conclusions of the brave new world. Get ready for your future. GMO automatically delivered when your smart fridge decides….
She faced a greater amount of prison time than this.. I still don’t even understand how she is getting prison time for showing a movie that released in various venues and one that most people in the class probably already saw in some form or another at home.. A firing justified? Yes. Prison time? I still don’t get that..
A fun little debate is soaring on the BELLGAB website and also on my other site// the HORROR REPORT is covering the situation of Ellen from iHeartRadio asserting a copyright claim over not only Coast to Coast AM programs that U7RADIO.ORG is playing, but also SIRIUS XM Dark Matter shows..
The 2.8 million-year-old specimen is 400,000 years older than researchers thought that our kind first emerged. The discovery in Ethiopia suggests climate change spurred the transition from tree dweller to upright walker. The head of the research team told BBC News that the find gives the first insight into “the most important transitions in human evolution”.
And it’s a link with the famed LUCY.
The early human. Defined by a jaw. Not a brain. That stuff came later.
Another snowy night.. potentially a housebound day tomorrow for lots of folks in the eye of THOR.. So why not turn off the lights, close the blinds, and entice your mind with a movie about the surreal, unreal, and paranormal. DARK SKIES is one of those films. Try it on for size—an abduction movie with dark shadow aliens, the Greys, evolves quickly into what I think was one of the most legitimately scary and good movies I’ve seen in quite some time.
There are some memorable scenes.. memorable characters. Specifically the idea that the other worldly suddenly presents itself into the lives of mundane people is freaky.
Besides one annoying scene I thought was plagiarism—a family sitting down to a dinner prior to an alien invasion like in SIGNS—the movie was strong and had a good alien premise. If you like alien movies. Or scary ones..
Add to the agenda a dark room and healthy snacks..I think it’s worth it.
Find it on NETFLIX if you can’t find it anywhere else..
After the movie, lighten the mood with the Ballad of the Greys.
Because a lot of people who go into prison go into prison straight — and when they come out, they’re gay. So, did something happen while they were in there? Ask yourself that question
So I did ask myself that question. And in the search yield of results, I found a study from Just Detention International that says while prison rape is a problem, many times the idea of relations are anecdotal.. But even that study did not prove any ‘gay’ or straight facts..
The reality of life in prison for homosexuals and transgender individuals does not appear to reflect this myth. One young man named Rodney, imprisoned for fraud and check-forging, sent me a detailed account of his life so far in prison. He described a litany of brutal rapes, assaults, beatings and, eventually, the total abandonment of his male identity as his only means of survival in the hyper-masculine and often homophobic prison environment. His account suggests that far from being a paradise, prison for gay men can be a living hell.
I think if Ben Carson wants to continue in his quest for office, he best get an advisor. Also if this is an indication of other beliefs, he may also want to avoid questions on evolution and try not to get stumped on the names of world leaders.
U.S. Ambassador to South Korea Mark Lippert was injured in an attack in Seoul, possibly by more than one person, according to U.S. government sources.
Police in Seoul say Lippert was cut with a razor blade. Lippert is being treated. A suspect has been detained.

Homer Simpson predicted the mass of the Higgs boson particle 14 years before it was discovered, a writer claims
Homer Simpson predicted the mass of the Higgs boson in a 1998 episode of The Simpsons, according to a science writer. In The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace episode, Homer is shown in front of a blackboard working on an equation. Twelve years later, scientists at the Large Hadron Collider discovered the Higgs boson.
I am not in favor of censorship.. but I don’t think the banning of this type of film has me particularly upset.. There is a certain style of torture movie I typically avoid.
However.. In no way am I in favor of this being banned.. Or anything else.
Growing scientific evidence suggests a future where our brains may prematurely fail in later life through under-use, thanks to Mother Nature’s rule that we ‘use it or lose it’.
This makes some sense to me.. we are not ‘wired’ to be as wired as we are.. It may take a couple of generations to get in the groove.. until we merge with machine, it will be a bumpy and depressing ride..
Devil in a blue dress. Or was the stress white? Either way a brand new story about an old affair—the man who painted Bill Clinton reveals the secret Monica Lewinsky Easter egg hidden within..
I did not get the chance until just this weekend to see GONE GIRL.. But finally, my son’s sleeping hour, my wife and I sat down to watch this.. I am a little bit disappointed with the end. I will not spoil it—though I will tell you that you see the full package of Affleck during a scene—but the movie was too great to have such a let down finale..
I have no full review, and perhaps no point. But it’s the internet, I don’t have to.
Am I alone in my dislike of the ending of this movie? It’s so bad it makes me actually dislike the entire film, though until the final five minutes it was perhaps one of the greatest movies I’ve seen in years…
It also reminded me of how much I don’t want Ben Affleck to be BATMAN..
Liz Kearney in the SALT LAKE CITY TRIBUNE has a good report on this somewhat unsettling event.. and this part caught my eye the most:
Longtime locals swimming at Boiling River on Feb. 22 told Livingston Enterprise Managing Editor Justin Post the water seemed hotter than they’ve ever remembered it. A small cascade of hot water which in the past has been pleasant to sit under was unapproachably hot one recent Sunday, Post said. Heasler, who has been with the park for about 12 years, said he and his staff aren’t absolutely certain what’s going on, but they are examining a couple of theories.
There have been tons of websites scaring me for years about Yellowstone.. And then tons of public statements from officials tell me and everyone else not to worry..
And now mainstream news is talking about how the Boiling River is hotter than every—in the wintertime.. Fear mongering from the SALT LAKE CITY TRIBUNE it is not..just them reporting facts and theories..
But the ever so scary potential for a Yellowstone event lingers in the back of America’s collective consciousness..
Art Bell asked a darn interesting question in a post on BELGAB.COM the other day about travel and who people would send back to the time of Jesus to document events.. My answer is below his, I picked Ben Franklin.
There were lots of other cool answers too, some even suggested Bruce Campbell.
And at this point if you’re an Art Bell excited for his return this coming July and NOT a member of BELLGAB, what are you waiting for?
See it and weep. Some operational guidance showcases a potential snowstorm this Thursday March 5..
By the freakend weekend clocks are being set ahead and spring will be in the air. Maybe.
At this point the darkness is losing. HORUS is rising.. Easter is on the way..
The new age war of words underway.. In one corner, Mr. Universe Deepak Chopra.. in the other corner, the Atheist Krauss with facts and figures.
Some awful news for people in the coal region of PA (and some other states that import the product from Shenandoah PA) who enjoy this amazing combination of flavors.. A recall because along with the cheese and tomato and basil, little chunks of plastic may also be within the product.. A new flavor indeed.
Being trustworthy and accurate could help a web page rise up Google rankings if the search engine giant starts to measure quality by facts, not just links
Lots of people are quite worked up over this.. As a matter of fact, the grand implication here is that GOOGLE is simply the Orweillian ‘Ministry of Truth” ..
Right now, Google uses a complex algorithm of determining the number of links going TO a site as the way to measure how far up in the search a certain website will be. Of course, people would argue that sites containing lots of misinformation will be too high in results and bad information will be spread.. you know, like the bad information that typically disseminates from MAINSTREAM news outlets during breaking news events..
But now the ‘ministry of truth’ idea comes into play, where Google will tap into a fact vault to compare with search terms. Of course, one man’s facts is another man’s figuring.. facts change. Historical accounts converge to paint very different pictures from those presented in the G-rated history books we have become grown to reading in our formative years..
The ‘fact optimization’ idea will most likely create a brand new multi-billion dollar industry.. I can see it now, people who specialize in advertising ‘facts’ ..
But a long time ago, if Google would have been around, a ‘fact’ would have been a flat earth theory..
And if someone googles “Best sex of 2015” … will there be a fact algorithm to present it? Because let’s not kid ourselves on what people Google—anyone with a website can tell you some of the bizarre terms that land them on their pages..
So for all of those upset by this, I get it. I am uncomfortable, too.
But there’s always STARTPAGE. And for those more old fashioned folk, you can always still ask Jeeves, even though he has been vanquished from the askeeves search page.
Have it it. Go out, Interneters.. and find ‘facts.’
My son did not really want to wake up for daycare today, and on the way there he expressed his disinterest in a Monday morning. I told him things were even worse for adults, and attempted to explain to him what happens during work meetings, the fake talking and the pretentious attitudes. I tried to explain how everyone gathers around the table and sits down, pretends to like each other for the first 35 seconds, and then attempts to outdo each other in ideas or long winded platitudes . This may have been a bit heavy for a 4 year old, but he seemed to grasp the concept.
He said to me, “daddy why don’t you get under the table in bang your head on it.”
When I said that sounds like a good idea, I saw him thinking. Then he said, “actually don’t, that will hurt”
I got some questions this weekend with my 'open lines' but nothing worthy of a mention..Feel free to try to impress me with just another factoid or question that may rock my world.
In the mean time, I have a somewhat selfish question for a reason.. I have this website, COAL SPEAKER, but I also have another one named the HORROR REPORT—something for the more surreal and unreal headlines, it’s coded with Wordpress, and it’s been around for a long time. I made a mirror site and, quite suddenly, the traffic on the secondary location surged higher than the original..
Mind you, either site you choose is probably one you’ve never heard of, of course that is unless you caught the brief millisecond of time the HORROR REPORT appeared on BROAD CITY..
Anyway, to make a not-needed-to-be-wordy post less wordy, I would ask a favor of anyone who has time.. send me a message or email and tell me which is your choice: www.horrorreport.com or www.nightterrornews.com .. at this time, they will be identical in all ways except design..
Thanks for the time, if you have it.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Almost from the moment a converted crabbing boat became a floating strip club off the shore of an Alaska island, it’s been beset by legal tangles over safety rules and liquor laws. Now there are allegations that it’s been dumping human waste into a harbor.
Quite frankly, I don’t care if millions are made, that is what America is all about. What I think is revolutionary is a farm in a controlled environment where pesticides and other big agri killers aren’t needed..
