Earth 2014: Animals get revenge

There seems to be a shift happening everywhere.. Art Bell coined the term the ‘quickening’ in the 1990s. I think we are living through it.. Humans are evolving to become zombies thanks to meth and Krokodil.. businesses are rapidly closing due to an evolving economy .. visit a mall lately?

And now this: Animals very well be becoming more aggressive towards human beings. Everything evolves..

Maybe animals are just getting sick of the ‘masters’ of the planet..? How long before Alfred Hitchcock’s THE BIRDS actually happens?

Yesterday we linked up news that the UN was going to condemn Lil Kim Jong Un in North Korea for crimes against humanity. 

They did. And I read the report almost in full.. it reads like Nazi Germany.

I really get angry at people who say the atrocities committed during World War II are limited to the 20th Century.

Clearly they are not—they are happening now and Kim Jong Un is just one of the global players destroying goodness on this planet with his evil acts.

China has now rejected ‘unreasonable’ criticism of North Korea—obvious global political games still being played even though babies and innocent people are being slaughtered by Kim..

The UN report says that the crimes in North Korea has no parallel un the contemporary world. I fear they are wrong on that..

Perhaps the worst of the worst is Kim Jong UN forced mothers to drown their newborn children..

Brutality in Syria: CNN gets footage of mass graves and mass murder in the nation.. Some of the men appear to be teenagers..

At this point who in the hell cares which side is doing it, as we know both are. In 2014, humanity everywhere is beginning to act like it’s just 14AD all over again.. Inhumanity and horror abounds..

Bad form POTUS

The drought in the West continues.

President Obama has used the subject in speeches about climate change. 

And when he’s not working, he goes to the West Coast to play golf at a water guzzling desert golf course ..

Amid the wreckage that the drought is causing.

Bad form POTUS..

Bankers gone mad..  various sources across the Internets have been telling you about the dead banker count now being 6. They are all considered suicides—jumping off buildings in London and even shooting themselves in the head with nail guns were among the choices to self-expire. And now we add number 7: A JP Morgan banker leaps to his death in Hong Kong.. Of the information we know now:  The man went to the 30-floor Charter House in Hong Kong.. police failed to convince him not to jump. JP says he was a junior level banker who played a role on several projects. Infowars has a wrap no the previous 6 suicides.. Anyone else besides me becoming very alarmed at this suicide rate lately? What else is happening that we don’t know..?

BUT…..do the dead bankers know something we don’t? Zero Hedge is reporting that George Soros is putting a ‘put’ on a big market crash..

DING DONG THE BANK IS HERE! Other banker news that may hit closer to home than some distant suicides—so close to home it could be on your own front door.. According to Capital One, they now have the ability to show up at your door and also your workplace.. They have told their customers that they could show up just about any time, and any place, that they please.. One person observed that not even the IRS has these powers without specific warrants..

And this: Venezuela is on the brink of some mighty bad financial times..

What you should do is keep your mouth shut

Pat Robertson’s advice to a viewer who told him he had sex with a transsexual.. 

Pennywise the missing clown

I don’t know what to say. . it’s a terrible day. America is suffering a clown shortage. 

Really. We are.

Trade organizations fear that people just don’t want to be clowns anymore..

Here’s the clowndown: Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus are pretty worried over a lack of interest in people being clowns.. Interest in becoming one has declined…

So there you go unemployed college grads.. a new profession awaits.

Do you have what it takes?

Look how much Jaromir Jagr enjoys this sports massage..

So awful..

When I read stories like this, I literally weep—and I mean that.. 

A father watched his entire family die in a burning car and could not save them.. The family had just left a birthday party and was going back home..

I link this story not to bring more added pain and misery to the man who now must face a life after this grim event, but because I hope you, reading this, can pray or ask God or ask Allah or ask the collective consciousness to bring some type of goodness or love to this man’s life..

I cannot even imagine the suffering endured by his family, and now by him..

If there is anything cool about Jimmy Fallon's TONIGHT show it's this..

…it is returning to New York City after 42 years.

Now that is cool.

Him as a host? Not sure about that.. time will tell.

But glad it’s back in New York City…there ‘TONIGHT’ begins.

1000 bodies unearthed believing to have been corpses from the Mississippi state ‘Lunatic Asylum” from the 19th century.. The bodies were found during excavation for a parking lot..

I am amazed that no one is talking about doing an autopsy to even see how some of the 1,000 bodies died. No one..

I guess the suffering continues for the ‘lunatics’ of yesterday..

First record warmth.. and now this: Fog envelops Sochi..

The pink stars thankfully are not falling. Or are they?

A massive asteroid, the size of three football fields, is flying by earth today.

And thankfully: Safely.

The asteroid is 2000 EM26. You can watch the Slooh webcast starting at 9pm EDT on February 17 2014 ...

It will be 2.1million miles away (pretty close in space terms, right?) The GUARDIAN reports this:

But it is defined as a potentially hazardous near-Earth object (NEO) large enough to cause significant damage in the event of an impact. Scientists estimate the asteroid, travelling at 27,000mph, is 270 metres (885ft) wide.

At its closest approach at 2am UK time, the rock will be 2.1m miles from Earth, or 8.8 lunar distances.

It is happening almost exactly a year after the Chelyabinsk, Russia, hit. (Remember that night? We were watching one asteroid ‘safely’ fly by earth as another one almost hit!!?) 

At least we knew about this one.. it was discovered back in the glory days of the post Clinton 90s on March 5, 2000. And now here we are.. 14 years later.. the fly by is on. Let’s hope no ‘junk’ comes with it… 

Exorcisms that make you go 'hmmmm'

We have been following the Latoya Ammons exorcism case (and subsequent movie deal that Father Maginot made with the makers of the CONJURING) .. 

Now this: A Catholic columnist reported that he got a statement from the Diocese of Gary. The spokeswoman called the event a “media fiasco.” Read the full statement here..

I think there is something else behind the scenes here.. Zak Bagans bought the case.. the priest is getting a stash of cash for selling the story.. Forgive me for doubt, but I just doubt at this point. Right now, the only credible ones appear to be the police.

And I want to hear FROM the hospital workers who saw the boy walk on the walls, now about HOW hospital workers saw a boy walk on walls…

Why have the most important eye witnesses been silent so far?

Bless you father, for you have profited.

Which is Worse: A Bath Salt Epidemic or a Zombie Outbreak?

This Florida online paper perfectly sums up the horror that is drugs, particularly bath salts, in the once great coal region of Pennsylvania ..This is a great article, written from looking in from the outside. Dennis Maley, the author,  grew up in Schuylkill County PA, or as residents term it the “skook” .. He penned this article about a trip back and a sad view of how bath salts and other hardcore drugs have destroyed the last remaining goodness that was the county.

A few points from Maley:

I grew up in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, or the Skook as it’s affectionately known. It is an area that has suffered through a long history of problems with pervasive drug addiction. In that way, it’s no different than a lot of small, economically-depressed places that have fared poorly in the post-industrial economy. The stories are the same, but for some reason, the drugs are often different, perhaps reflecting the particular brand of desperation most prevalent in any particular geographical region.

He goes on..

I’d been hearing the tales for a long time, but by that last trip home the scope had become unthinkable. One after another, I heard dozens of stories about the ranks of friends and acquaintances who’d jumped to the dark side and become a “salter.” It wasn’t just the usual suspects either. Smart people with good jobs and intact families saw their lives quickly circle the drain before nose-diving down the pipe and into oblivion. 

I myself have known people, or known of people, who suddenly lost their way and changed their entire personality due to drugs.. It’s a horrible thing, too. The zombie look that the face gets is frightening.. 

Another point from the author:

All of it felt surreal. I was without a frame of reference. This many people couldn’t be off the grid, living some underground life as fiends with an insatiable craving for some drug you bought in a head shop with cartoon pictures on the box. Then it happened … I saw one.

She was a formerly gorgeous girl, five years my junior and daughter of a family friend. Her face was hollowed out so deep that it called to mind the Skeletor character from the horrible live-action movie, based on the He-Man cartoon. Her once full lips were now pencil thin and scabbed over on at least half of their surface area. The doe-eyed baby blues I remembered as her most striking feature had narrowed into slits, leaving her with only a permanent expression that seemed to drip with cynicism. Then there was the assortment of scabs and open cuts dotting her face. Her teeth looked like they’d begun rotting in place and her once-curvy body had thinned to the point that I might have missed her, had she been standing sideways rather than facing me straight on. 

I have seen the people he is describing.. I have seen beautiful young and hopeful people become destroyed because they made a choice to do some hardcore horrid things.  

While you see the coal region close up every day, looking at it from a new perspective always gives you a fresh look.. Reading an account from someone who left before the bath salt and meth fad began here is striking.. Everything that was is gone. Things that were stable are not..

As the Coal Speaker has followed for years, you never know where you’ll find a meth lab in the area..  The Coal Speaker has also began documenting what I feel will be the ultimate demise of the area: Closed malls, schools, hospitals, and hope. Deep down, beyond all the facts and headlines, there is something else happening.

When I was a high schooler at the now defunct Cardinal Brennan High School in the roaring 90s, life was fine. Kids did bush parties—late night beer fests in the middle of corn fields or in hideouts in the woods. That was the test of a teenager… beer. Miller or Coors.. toxic sure… but things changed.

These days drugs are rampant.. And if you think the cops are immune you’re pretty naive to how things work.

There seems to be a disconnect—county leaders don’t realize just how fast and how much the area changed.. They don’t get the immense change that happened. And most don’t realize how much bath salts, meth, and other hard core drugs are responsible.  War has come to our towns.. The drug war. And sobriety is losing.

Don’t get me wrong. The drug was has failed. But let’s not forget how it was meant to fail—the CIA has been busy beavers.. 

I feel like I am digressing.
Back to this article..

Despite your belief about drugs and whether we should jail people for them…there is something very rotten at the core of Schuylkill County. 

And I fear the when Krocodil makes its debut in the region.. Then the real zombie look will be en vogue..

First in a new series I plan on doing: My daily doodle.

For the initial piece of awful art: a potty chair filled with excrement! Ayden had his first full weekend of 100% success in the potty training department. He had help from a TV, and a mean Skeletor bobble head that sat next to him.

I hope that my doodles improve with age. It has been about nine years now since I drew anything, and that was after an entire life of drawing daily.

So it’s time to start practicing again, a daily doodle may help..
