Redick: Donald Sterling ‘Didn’t Want To Pay Me Because I Was White’
Los Angeles Clippers guard J.J. Redick says that owner Donald Sterling was hesitant to sign him last summer because he’s white.
This is going to certainly stir the pot of controversy..
So now we know: Donald Sterling basically just hates people—all people. Maybe he’s another classless member of the ruling class, the lifestyles of the elite rich and famous, who will literally step on the backs of downtrodden on streets just to get ahead? Maybe he’s got the blackest heart of evil..
A crazy old slug-like faced man of misery..
The CBS report:
“I’ve been told both ways: one, that he didn’t want to pay me because I was white, and that he didn’t want to pay me because I was a bench player,” Redick, the former Duke University star told USA Today. “I didn’t know until after the face. I just got a weird phone call from Doc (Rivers) on July 4, and I got off the phone and said to my wife, ‘Something’s going on.’ He’s like, ‘You better play for me (expletive).’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, that’s the plan. We figured this out two days ago, right?’

Malaysia Flight MH370: 11 Terrorists Arrested on Suspicion of Involvement in Disappearance of Flight
The suspected terrorists, who reportedly have links to Al Qaeda, were arrested in Kuala Lumpur.
This is amazing stuff.
Amazing. But true??
While CNN and others are slowly forgetting a plane carrying 239 people vanished weeks ago, international news orgs in the UK and are carrying this story of the arrested terrorists and their suspected connection to the missing Flight 370..
While CNN and others are slowly forgetting a plane carrying 239 people vanished weeks ago, international news orgs in the UK and are carrying this story of the arrested terrorists and their suspected connection to the missing Flight 370..
The International BUSINESS TIMES says this:
Explanations for its possible disappearance have been focused on a range of theories, from equipment failure, damage to the fuselage, a suicide mission and a terror attack implicating the pilots.
The mystery of the vanished Malaysia Airlines flight took a new twist with the international team probing the incident, considering the possibility that the plane may have landed rather than ended up in the Indian Ocean.
All of this after months now of changing stories, altered quotes, and weird government actions in connection with the aftermath of a plane gone missing.
Is the terrorism angle possible? I suppose at this point anything is..
I still think about Sarah Bacj—people laughed at her saying she thought people from Flight 370 still may be alive.
We don’t even know half of the half of what happened.. And now this series of terror attests certainly has eyebrows raised.
And really, at this point, do we believe anything we are told regarding this story?

New Sex Abuse Lawsuit Targets Bryan Singer, Gary Goddard
An anonymous UK citizen has filed suit against Bryan Singer and Gary Goddard, alleging that they both sexually assaulted him when he was a teenager.
It’s probably not what anyone in the production team or advertising and marketing department of X-MEN want to hear.. but this Hollywood wasteland news is getting only deeper.
The DAILY BEAST had a amazingly graphic account of the lawsuit details yesterday.. This new lawsuit is separate from that filed Michael Egan..
The HOLLYWOOD REPORTER writes on the allegations:
Singer had sex with the plaintiff at a Superman after after party in a London hotel room when the plaintiff was 17, according to the suit. (This is presumably a reference to Singer’s Superman Returns, which had its U.K. premiere July 13, 2006.) The boy resisted, the suit continues, but Goddard brought in a “large, musclebound man” who smacked the teenager around, holding him while Singer grabbed him and Goddard, naked on the bed, watched. Singer then allegedly attempted to rape the plaintiff. The complaint, although a civil matter, states or suggests that Singer and Goddard violated federal and state criminal law.
Marty singer is Bryan Singer’s lawyer—no relation though. Team Singer is doing its best to resuscitate the image of the X-MEN director and deny all allegations..
But now, as the movie release date comes closer, it will be interesting to see how they affect the film’s entrance onto the box office scene.. will people see it without concern, or will others be completely offput by the thoughts of SUPERMAN sex and rough looking muscle bound goons slapping a young teenage boy who did not want to have sex with a Hollywood hit?
Sordid tales of Hollywood are not new..
But these allegations—and an upcoming documentary being made by the same person who exposed the Catholic church--promises more explosive fireworks.
With the never ending drip of allegations against Singer and others in Hollywood, it will be interesting to see what other storms brew..

Pipe Explosion at Hanford Plutonium Finishing Plant Site
The rest of the world is not paying attention to the ongoing disaster at the Hanford nuclear site in Washington state.. I have been, and a brief search in the archives of this site, and you’ll find some mentions.
This link being reported today is actually days old—not to my credit at all, but I completely missed it this weekend.
Apparently a pipe explosion occurred at the plant weeks ago—something the public was never told about. NBC RIGHT NOW reported this from Washington state:
The Hanford union representative says it happened when workers were cutting some pipe as part of the demolition of the Plutonium Finishing Plant.
The union representative wants to remain anonymous and says workers are concerned management isn’t putting worker safety first."Having a pipe explode at probably the most contaminated facility in the United States. This is one of the most hazardous buildings in the U.S." said the Union representative.

This is video from Toronto.. a good dashboard camera saw a meteor in the daytime sky. It’s brief but is brilliantly white..
This beautiful image of downtown Toronto with a meteor in the sky is peaceful and serene—and the opposite of what would have happened if HL129 would have struck the planet.
HL129 is an asteroid the size of a bus—it came very close to the planet Saturday morning. While we did not really hear much about it—despite the fact is was closer to the earth than the moon—the planet was obviously in some sort of danger and thankfully it did not hit..
Not that we would have known anyway.
The asteroid was actually discovered on April 28. OF 2014—days before it actually would have made itself known to the planet earth.
Lucky so far..
So far.
Fracking-Linked Earthquakes May Strike Far from Wells
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Fracking may cause earthquakes much farther from the sites of its wastewater wells than previously thought, researchers said here Friday (May 2) at the annual meeting of the Seismological Society of America. In central Oklahoma, a cluster of four high-volume wastewater injection wells triggered quakes up to 30 miles (about 50 kilometers) away, said lead study author Katie Keranen, a geophysicist at Cornell University in New York. The earthquakes have since spread farther outward, as fluids migrate farther from the massive injection wells, she said. “The pressure is high enough from the injected fluids to trigger earthquakes.”
The money quote:
Because of the recent jump in earthquakes, and their significant size, the USGS plans to estimate the national shaking risk from “induced seismicity” for the first time, Rubinstein said. Induced seismicity refers to any man-made earthquake, including fracking, wastewater injection and geothermal plants
It’s good to see we are finally at a point where people in scientific power are admitting what ‘conspiracy theorists’ have known for years now: Fracking causes earthquakes. Pure and simple.
We need to grips with that premise. Fracking. Earthquakes.
And then evaluate what we are doing.
Is it worth extracting what we are to induce ‘seismicity’?
The quakes are small now. But that’s not. Who in the gas industry ever predicted years back that fracking would lead to mini quakes? And for all those ‘small quakes,’ look at Oklahoma: A 5.7 hit in 2011 and their current levels of activity in that state are higher than even the shaky west Coast California faults. Human actions are having a direct result on the planet..
And is it worth it?

What haven't we been told about the cargo on MH370?
The aircraft was carrying 4.566 tonnes of mangosteens - an exotic fruit - and 200kg of batteries which were part of the mystery consignment weighing nearly 2.5 tonnes.

You don't always know what you're saying
People’s conscious awareness of their speech often comes after they’ve spoken, not before.
Good read from the journal NATURE..
People can actually be tricked into thinking they said something that they did not, and it’s only when they are faced with their actual words that they realize how much their mind can be deceptive ..
Your mind indeed can play tricks on you.
There is also one other thing—something not mentioned in this study. But did you ever notice how you think you sound different than you actually do, and then you hear your voice on some sort of audio and wince at your own sound? So not only do we not know what we are saying but we also think we sound a lot different than we do.. and when we realize our vocal chords don’t give us the Barry White style by instead the Richard Simmons effect, we hang our heads in shame.

Blast from a comedic past.. I still fondly recall watching this segment the first time it appeared on David Letterman’s show in 1996..
Watching this skit again reminded me that I need to transfer all of my 50+ video tapes of old David Letterman shows to DVD before they dry rot..
How fast time goes.
I was 16 when I saw this for the first time.. So many years later, Letterman leaving CBS .. and I am feeling old.
But it’s still as funny to me as the first time..
Hundreds of birds flew into a woman’s home
“I think the most horrifying was how they got in and the mess that they were making while they were here because birds are scared and they are pooping.”
But this new bird story seems to be just a little more intense..
