Here we go again! Strange booms rock Michigan

The earth is moaning and groaning.. and booming loud, as well.. The latest in Michigan, where loud booms have caused ‘violent’ shaking.. no official word of what it may be, but lots of officials on what it is not. And what it is not: Anything likely to cause loud booms. The mystery begins.. Maybe booming soon in a town near you..

MICHIGAN: LOUD BOOMS AND ‘VIOLENT’ SHAKING
The booms in Michigan: not from earthquakes or jets..

Occultist: Violent shaking in Michigan.. no storms, no quakes.. no traffic..  hat tip to you for informing me first of this one..

My inspirational message of the day (you can sure tell I think more like a dad anymore)


This picture used to hang on the wall of my bedroom when I was a child.. I would stare at is as I fell asleep. Life is short. Honor your parents, love your family, cherish your spouse, adore you children.. and be proud when you look in the mirror. Time is fleeting..

Whoops: Obama causes some outrage with reference to "Polish death camp" -- it was actually a Nazi death camp in Poland

But it just must be a day of apologies, because here come some more:


Chris Hayes from MSNBC
Barney Frank
 A PA monsignor 
Rutgers student
And Lady Gaga


All for different reasons. But it’s a pity party of a Wednesday for all, isn’t it.


Whoops: Obama causes some outrage with reference to "Polish death camp" -- it was actually a Nazi death camp in Poland

Did a bit of thinking on Obama's kill list and the new story today on how 'civilian' has been redefined

There are big questions that come with these two stories, one from the NEW YORK TIMES and the other from an upcoming book KILL OR CAPTURE.



Drones. Warfare. Security. All big issues. But how we deal with those issues? That may be the bigger issue.



How we handle these big issues will tell a lot of us: It is how we, as a people, now fight our wars and define our enemies. It showcases what we are able to ‘live with’ in order to get the bad guy of the day. It also has implications on the homefront. If you haven’t noticed recently, news organizations en masse have finally been reporting on how drones are going to be used by police in the skies above you, and me, and all of us, here in the United States.



If the term of civilian could be broadened by a chief executive, could civilian also eventually be broadened by a police chief? By an FBI head.. by a CIA diretor…?



The drones will be watching. Cameras on and glaring down below.. if you have a fence that protects you from your neighbor because you like to sunbath nude, the drone will enjoy the view. 



The future of the drones may be that they are armed. And if they are armed they can strike just as they do in Pakistan and Afghanistan. And if a few civilians die to get a target… will a future generation care?




Moral questions…

The type that no one is comfortable asking.

And as drones come to America, what impact may this have on the homefront..

This is your brown on bath salts.


The disturbing story of the cannibal attack, the Miami muncher, or whatever else you want to label it as, only gets weirder.


We know now that police say bath salts may be to blame—bath salts are banned here in the Keystone State of Pennsylvania, and not a day goes by in my area or on my local news without a story of someone going insane on bath salts.


But the notion of a nude man eating another nude man’s face right off this this story a little more a creepy vibe..


Even more information coming out: For example, the Miami muncher not only refused to stop eating the other man’s face, but when prompted to stop, he growled at cops.


Tales of abnormal behavior.. super human strength. People becoming filled with rage.. jumping on top of buildings .. all sad stories about a frightening drug. And seemingly more and more common.

A must read from the New York TIMES on Obama's kill list


President Richard Nixon was heavily criticized in media and pop culture in the 1970s when news broke that he had a secret enemy’s list. Who was on it? Journalists.. religious leaders.. maybe sometimes even his own staff and people within his own Administration.


Fast forward to the challenging post-9/11 world: President Obama scrapped the enemy’s list and replaced it with a secret “kill list.” 




There is a fascinating glimpse from the TIMES on President Obama and how evolution: From the chatter of anti-Patriot Act and anti-war in the Senate, to a hawk in office, a killer of Osama Bin Laden, and the man who approves lethal action and doesn’t look back. The money quote:


In interviews with The New York Times, three dozen of his current and former advisers described Mr. Obama’s evolution since taking on the role, without precedent in presidential history, of personally overseeing the shadow war with Al Qaeda.



They describe a paradoxical leader who shunned the legislative deal-making required to close the detention facility at Guantánamo Bay in Cuba, but approves lethal action without hand-wringing. While he was adamant about narrowing the fight and improving relations with the Muslim world, he has followed the metastasizing enemy into new and dangerous lands. When he applies his lawyering skills to counterterrorism, it is usually to enable, not constrain, his ferocious campaign against Al Qaeda — even when it comes to killing an American cleric in Yemen, a decision that Mr. Obama told colleagues was “an easy one.”


And as Alex Jones’ PRISON PLANET reports, the NY TIMES also mentioned that a girl, about age 17, and other Americans are on the kill list.

Sensing another irony: Those who favored Obama’s 2008 campaign for the presidency because his language put him in stark opposition to eight years of Bush also have a test of their principles and will: Will they vote to reelect a man who campaigned against most things he ended up doing on the terror and homeland security front?


Sure, the political question is fun to ask.


But the more important question may be this: What role should the United States have, should there be a kill list, and should one chief executive single handedly get to decide who goes on that list and who gets rubbed out? Those are big questions. It would be fun to hear Candidate Obama debate President Obama on those points.

Are you glowing or is your tuna just happy to see me?


Finally confirmation of what alternative media has been reporting for a year.. sadly the alternative media was right all along.

And you thought wind and fire were the strongest elements of Earth!

Think again.


It may simply be FISH!


According to new research (research conducted of course in August of last year, but officially we are just hearing about it this year) “low levels” of radiation from Fukushima have turned up in bluefin tuna along the California coast. Remember, these levels were higher than normal and they were in schools of swimming tuna just months after the March 2011 earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear nightmare—fish swimming fast and bringing radiation to San Diego faster than water .. faster than the debris from the tsunami.




But food for thought: Radioactive tuna (low levels!!) were swimming near California four months after the Fukushima nuclear plant went haywire. 


We have been told for some time there are no worries.


No one told that to the tuna.

People are very scared. It’s been shaking non-stop for the past week


Justin Bieber gets the fever: Goes crazy on a photographer, ‘roughs him up’ .. sends him to the hospital.. 


So what grown man wants to be labeled as the one who got roughed up by Bieber..?

GOOGLE PURPOSELY STOLE PRIVATE INFORMATION FOR YEARS AND COVERED IT UP

This news comes from across the pond—but if it is happening in the UK why would it not be happening in the US of A?


According to the reports circulating, Google purposely used Street View cars to steal personal information from people in Britain for years, and then they covered it up for years.


The accusations are that Google deliberately harvested private data on British citizens for years. According to the report, they downloaded photographs and emails, documents, and messages. The Street View cars collected as they drove.


A private company spying. Interesting. Because if you paint the picture just a little differently, it could mean even war! Think if foreign spies for another nation were driving around America stealing your data? Imagine if, say, North Korea had cars to do it. Or maybe a Chinese car.. with the Chinese flag. Driving around and spying on you!


It would mean war. The government would condemn. The media would go headline-crazy. 


But in this situation, when a private company did it, everyone is silent.


The noise of crickets in the vast wilderness of the online world.. well, that noise today is deafening. The international media is the only place to turn to find out just what exactly Google has been doing.


Just Google it.

The real meaning of Memorial Day: Those who do not return alive.


Do not lose the meaning of this day..

A tale of many Syria headlines

You know what it all comes down to? This world is insane.. messed up.. unbelievable in the amount of atrocities that have killed. And for what? Nothing. In the end, absolutely nothing.

Flashback: Dead American soldiers dumped into landfills like trash

We should be more aware of these types of events.. We should be fully aware of attempts to not give veterans the care they deserve. 


For those who don’t make it home, the most they deserve from everywhere still here is respect, dignity, and at the very least, a salute. Not to be dumped into a landfill with trash …
