All your genes aren’t belong to us

The Supreme Court unanimously ruled Thursday that human genes cannot be patented.
But in something of a compromise decision, all nine justices said a synthetic version of the gene material may be patented.
Initial reaction from investors sent the stock of Myriad Genetics, the company involved, higher.

–This was the text of a CNN news alert today..
First paragraph good. 
Second? Not so much

Surveil this! Superman is Jesus. And 1984 is up 69% .. and a tornado in France? Read it all and weep. The Wednesday update

WEDNESDAY JUNE 12 2013

It has been a trying few days.. You can read about why if you want to more on my personal blog ..


Another big part of this story: How much exactly do contractors have access to? That may be the scariest question of all.. People are people–and Snowden chose to release classified info, but what if another contractor chose to target someone on purpose.. it appears nothing would stop him..
Incidentally, Ron Paul has appeared in media claiming he is worried that the Administration is going to drone attack Snowden if they find him..
You can Google your own name, but do you really want to know what is known about you? A new pop industry has developed helping you request your NSA or FBI file from the government! It’s called GetmyFBIfile.com and it’s free of charge.. Ahhhh.. yes, the creativity of the net..

With the surveillance issue coming to light, don’t think for a second we know everything about this program. There is lots secret, lots hidden.. and lots should be. So what else don’t we know?


It’s beyond rare for this to happen in France, but it did: A tornado waterspout ripped through the South of France, shocking locals and tourists in the area.. There is video..


A beyond massive dust storm engulfs parts of Nevada .. people stranded on the Vegas tarmac.. vomiting.. nose bleeds.. one killed..


There is a big sinkhole in Missouri.. and it is being called “very dangerous” to the public.. Sinkholes have been a problem in this same area of Missouri since 2007..


No ice please! According to information being reported in the UK, ice in six out of ten restaurants has more bacteria than water from the toilets .. and it would make sense. Anyone who worked in a restaurant knows the perils of the ice machine–the mold, the mildew, and the bacteria.. Those machines must be cleaned. But interestingly enough, it’s not just McDonalds and Burger King that was found in the UK to have the issue, but also Starbucks too.. One comical suggestion from a reader: “Perhaps they should be making ice from toilet water”





Get ready for people to make constant comparisons between Superman and Jesus.. It seems that the new filmmakers of SUPERMAN actually are utilizing it to their benefit to market the film.. Will people worship SUPERMAN? Did the Bible actually mean the ‘second coming’ was going to be the sequel in a new SUPERMAN franchise?? And why isn’t SUPERMAN American! Oh.. that’s the Mormons.. I am confused..

June 1948: The true tale of a plane crash in Centralia, PA

Every now and then I learn something new and completely kick myself for never knowing it.. and being born in a town that had a plane crash right into it, you’d think I would have known about that.. But I did not.
To my credit, it occurred on June 17, 1948—long before I was born..
United Airlines Flight 624 crashed at 1:41 PM daylight time just between Aristes, PA and Centralia, PA. Four crew members and 39 passengers on board all perished in the accident..
And now I am drowning myself in every bit of history I can on it.. the story absolutely fascinates me. I was born about three blocks from where the crash took place..
It also amazes me that somehow, somewhat, I never knew about this. It completely slipped away.
I heard it from a friend who, heard it from a friend who, heard it from a friend.. And I confirmed it through Google searches.. and one on one conversations.
My father is a bastion of history and intelligence.. he gave me some back story on it, and also knew that some bodies were buried in St. Ignatius cemetery in Centralia..
The more we think we know the more we don’t have a clue..
Time to open my mind up to some more coal region history that perhaps has been unknown to me for a lifetime..
While plane crashes occur now and then, this certainly is a strange tale.
Centralia already seemed cursed with the tale of a priest damning the town to misery in the late 1800s after the Molly McGuires attacked him in the back of the St. Ignatius Cemetery.. .. perhaps this plane crash only added to the inevitable misery that the town was yet to endure when a mine fire started deep underground and led all but ten people to vacate it decades later…

The ”boundless informant” reveals himself: Edward Snowden talks to the GUARDIAN

This is Edward Snowden. He is 29. And he is the leaker who told everything and anything about the NSA and the FBI to the UK GUARDIAN. He also explained to the GUARDIAN as to why.. He spoke about his actions in 12 minute interview posted on the GUARIDAN.. He defended Bradley Manning, and on whether what he did was a crime, he said “we have seen enough criminality on the part of the government.” He said ‘nothing good’ is going to happen to him. . And now he lives in Hong Kong He voted for Barack Obama in 2008. Clearly he wouldn’t do the same now. This is a major story.. perhaps the story of the year..decade.. our age? This is the main issue at hand right now. Terrorism and defeating it, but defending person liberty and cherishing what makes America great. Some may wish Snowden ”disappears” as was overheard at a security conference about the leaker and the journalist who reported these secrets over the past week… Some may hail him as a hero.  Either way, is it fair to say the investigation into the leaking of this classified information should now be over..? The Boundless Informant has now revealed his face..
