A big FYI from the land of childhood

Little CoalSpeaker Ayden Morris got his cast off today. It went well. It didn’t seem he was scared by the saw—mom and dad explained that it was just a louder blender, and he knows blenders make him milkshakes. 

It has been a trying month for the little man.

A fractured tibia.. a first day of day care—one fresh with a bite from another child—and now the cast coming off.

I think maybe all of this is more trying for the parents than the child. His fresh 15 1/2 month old memory may not hold.. My 31 year old mind and mom’s 32 year old brain will recall the month’s activities with squeamish and skittish faces. 

Now back to normal for Ayden. He refuses to eat his breakfast and just wants to play with legos. It’s interesting, this childhood stuff.. interesting. 

This may be ignored by mainstream media, but it is one of the most important stories currently happening: Suicides are surging among United States troops

Here are the facts: 

The upswing of suicides has caught some by surprise because of 2010 and 2011 numbers leveling off..

Robert Burns of the AP writes this:

Suicides are surging among America’s troops, averaging nearly one a day this year - the fastest pace in the nation’s decade of war.

The 154 suicides for active-duty troops in the first 155 days of the year far outdistance the U.S. forces killed in action in Afghanistan - about 50 percent more - according to Pentagon statistics obtained by The Associated Press

The AP dispatch can’t play up these numbers enough: Almost 1 for every day ..

We are seeing something unique in our current wars and soon to be post wars (and maybe soon to be new wars).. Battle grounds new and different. People don’t die in big numbers last in past wars… now injuries are soaring along with mental issues and PTSD among troops.

Will officials address concerns of our soldiers? Will we treat war vets with the care they need?

Current suicide numbers are dismaying .. and distressing for all of those who hope we honor our soldiers as they should be honored.. 

This may be ignored by mainstream media, but it is one of the most important stories currently happening: Suicides are surging among United States troops

And it's not just freaky weather occurrences like the high school hail storm that are weird, it's also the amount of warmth that has overtaken the United States over the past several months

Warmth that has broken records and caused there to be a year without a winter early in ‘12.. It’s extremely rare according to the weather experts among .. 2012 had the warmest spring on record. 

Yes, it is getting warmer. it’s not just your imagination. Record books prove it. 

So now what..

Here is an image of the ‘high school hail storm’ that occurred in Jersey.. And the story from Accuweather

What is the truth on Fukushima

A good comment response to my post last night on radiation from Fukushima spreading around the world, to which I responded. Hope to see more comments on this. I think it’s an important issue. What is debatable at this point may be how much of a danger the world is in from Fukushima effects. But what is not debatable is how important the issue is; whether we have a future of fish we can’t eat and cancer or a future of nuclear power becoming more dangerous despite people’s current opinion, it’s an important issue. So join in the discussion..

Truth is the middle of two extremes. But how extreme is the most extreme of Fukushima..?

One of the biggest news events continues to unfold.. while no one pay attention at all

Japan’s former ambassador to Switzerland says Fukushima presents a security problem for the entire world

RAY BRADBURY DEAD


This is a pretty big deal. A famous author.. Science fiction may have been his thing. But as we see, fiction is often less strange than truth. And today’s scientific society is more like a science fiction novel than any other. RIP Bradbury.. Will truly be talent missed on earth..

It has been 68 years now since D-Day..

Less and less news coverage occurs every year.

This year, though, the account of Bernard Friedenberg, a 90-year-old World War II medic who took part in the D-Day invasion, is haunting.

He recalls a mortally-wounded soldier gasping for air.. he recalls an ‘absolute massacre’ .. he speaks ofpatching ‘guys up right and left..

Yes indeed, the greatest generation is slowly leaving this war-torn planet called hell, otherwise known as Earth.

So how do you train a good worker to be a good worker? In China, you do it with long hours, exposure to harmful chemicals, and 'military style' training sessions..

So .. nothing to see here?

A must read for all who are concerned about the world and all who doubt officials who “officially” tell us that Fukushima is nothing to worry about.. these headlines tonight are entered onto the record for your consideration and thought.. 

A news account from CTV says that reactor 4 at Fukushima poses a major threat to the world and another says that the worst is yet to come.. 

Japan continues to insist that the nuclear pool is stable and the country’s leaders claim it could withstand another major quake.

Consider these facts, too: Japan is dumping about a thousand tons per day of radioactive water into the Pacific ocean, and a new report says the Pacific won’t do much to dilute the water in the great sea..

Yes indeed.

Nothing to see here..

What's eating you?

There are a lot of jokes and online cartoons about the ‘zombie’ attacks coming due to the recent news of cannibal attacks—attacks that involve human beings and not actors in some film..

The latest reminder that all these jokes are about real people is this news story detailing the sad life of the man who had his face eaten off by another on bath salts in Florida.. 

Don’t get me wrong, I love a good zombie joke now and then, but the news is creepy in 2012: A Maryland cannibal, a gay porn dismemberer, a nude bath salt cannibal, and a homeless woman trying to eat the arm off of a baby—all these events real headlines and real things.

I like to reflect on the day to day news, news that I personally feel is scarier than ever. The cannibal attacks only go to prove my point—and cause me to have even more paranoid fears..
