The Thanksgiving Eve news of the world

WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 27 2013

There are two places that will be busier than ever today: Roads, and bars. Highways are ‘jammed with people and cars’.. People racing home to be with kith and kin. Sometimes grudgingly. Sometimes not. Later today, pubs and bars will open their doors to a night fill with happy go lucky home comers.. And that is the part that reminds me of this 2008 ONION article titled: 26-Year-Old To See Every Asshole He Ever Went To High School With On Night Before Thanksgiving . How true that is.

Now to the news of the day..


A fascinating story: Welcome to Cicada 3301, the internet mystery that has the world baffled..

Holiday hell: The 2013 holiday shopping season may end up being remembered for its ugly sweaters and, for many retailers, even uglier discounts… A growing weak economy, no fashion trends, and no must haves.. it’s a year of jitters and sputtering.. a holiday season without guidance, or fun. Instead people are just going to try to make it through December and be fine..


The Thanksgiving choice: Have dessert, or go shopping?


The UK GUARDIAN published a great story on he holiday shopping world we are about to enter.. The paper writes that Christmas is just an excuse to sell more useless crap. George Monbiot penned an article that would never have made it by editors in the United States starting with this sentence: “A global bullshit industry recruits the values with which we’d like the festival to be invested – to sell things no one wants“

With all the trouble in the world, we have neglected to use our collective short attention to China.. where now American bombers are flying through China’s disputed air defense zone..

The situation in Iraq is getting bad, all over again. 13 bodies have been found in Baghdad and bombings have killed 33..


Speaking of world affairs: The media celebrated the peace king prize winning President Obama on his recent deal with Iran. John Kerry looked as though he didn’t cut fingernails for weeks in Geneva. But now Iran says that the fact sheet released by the Obama Administration is misleading and false..


Spies worry over ‘doomsday cache’ stored by Edward Snowden.. According to the news article, British and US officials fear Snowden has a very highly classified heavily encrypted amount of material stored on a data cloud.. So of all the revelations, could anything else released shock people? It would appear with this fear, the answer is yes.

The kids aren’t alright: UK report concludes: Young children ‘are committing sex abuse on other children as part of gang violence’ And by young children, it’s kids as young as 12 committing crimes on kids younger..

Chemical spill causes hundreds to evacuate Ohio town..

This is going down a road that we may not want to.. Scientists are learning how to shape our memory by testing chemicals that can DELETE THEM! Some memories are bad, and some who have went through awful stuff, well, they just want to forget it. But when power as this rests in the hands of an elite few, to what end does that justify? Deleting memories, forever? Shaping the reality we have lived? I find this scientific endeavor to be dangerous..

New Madrid shaking? The booms may hold the answer

A YOUTUBE video has some interesting information concerning some old booms and history that may be repeating itself.
The user Cometison uploaded a video explaining that major loud booms, described then as canon fire, were heard two to three years prior to 1811-12 New Madrid earthquakes. The video goes on to explain more of the weird connections of events from then to now..
The video here:

The boom conundrum started about two years ago–major loud bangs have been heard throughout the United States for some time.
Linda Moulton Howe reported on the booms early–many YouTube videos were uploaded throughout the past 24 months..

There are other connections in the video to comets.. There was a great comet in 1811.
Comets in 2013 are present and ready to appear..

All information should be taken with a grain of salt–or a bag.
But it sure does sound freakishly like history may be happening all over again..

A tale of two Isons

There is conflicting information circulating today regarding the Comet of the Century, Ison.


On one hand, an expert named Stephen Lowry was quoted in the IB TIMES today saying that Ison is breaking up and may not survive its trip around the sun.. Lowry is a senior lecturer at the Centre for Astrophysics and Planetary Science School of Physical Sciences at the University of Kent Canterbury.. He told the publication that he does not think the comet will survive, commenting, “New reports show rapid decrease in gas emissions from the comet and a rapid increase in dust. Now these are early reports so we could be wrong. But for me personally I don’t think it’s likely to survive.”

And on the other hand…
A video update of Ison seems to paint a different picture..

Here it is for your enjoyment and knowledge:

And then there’s this: A huge CME has just been fired by the sun at Ison..
Battle is on.

We will see what occurs with this comet in a matter of days.
Tonight, CNN is reporting that the comet may be falling apart as it nears the sun..

The moment of truth comes on Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving eve eve snow

It’s Mutley’s first snowstorm. My son loves looking at snow but doesn’t want much play in it. Ironically Mutley is the same .. He does, though , enjoy licking it off sidewalks. That is currently the one action that separates his enjoyment of snow from my son’s..

Newtown shooter Adam Lanza acted alone, had no clear motive, according to a new report »

I saw some anger about this report—some of the families of those slain by Lanza appeared to be hostile to this report. One analysis I read said that it’s a detailed report and really did not have to be. The report in essence was only to determine if any more suspects should be arrested. It could have been only one page long with one sentence on it, but instead the State’s Attorney’s report is more detailed.. 
The overall hint is that the gun violence and mental illness of Lanza became a deadly combination. 
The good part of this whole horrible event is that maybe something will finally take place to improve mental health in the United States. The WASHINGTON TIMES reports, 
Rep. Tim Murphy, Pennsylvania Republican, said last week he intends to introduce legislation next month “to fix the problems that have plagued the nation’s mental health system for decades.”
He said in 1955 there were 550,000 psychiatric beds and today there are fewer than 40,000, that the standard to make sure a mentally ill person gets treatment is unworkable, and that federal privacy laws make information-sharing in such cases difficult.
“We have to advance this so we have a key to unlock the door,” Mr. Murphy said. “I ask my colleagues to join me in working for these mental health reforms so that families can share the joy of recovery, instead of the sadness of loss.”
As far as Lanza and the lack of a motive: Would a motive have really made any more sense to this senseless evil? Would a reason to kill innocent beautiful children given any more help to those grieving, almost one year since the nightmare stole Christmas in 2012?
I say no.
I recall how sad those days were after this shooting.
And now a year later we are reminded of it all over again.
I don’t think a motive would have even made sense … Nothing can make sense of what Adam Lanza did that fateful December morning in 2012..

A sinkhole to hell: Did the owner take his pond with him?

A massive sinkhole has developed in Bosnia, shocking those who see it, and pervading a seemingly peaceful countryside with a shocking image of how cruel the planet earth can be.

SANICA, Bosnia-Herzegovina — Just outside the rustic village, children fished in a tranquil pond bobbing with green algae and lined with willow trees, as cattle grazed nearby.
Now, Rezak Motanic gazes in disbelief down a gigantic moonlike crater where the pond used to be. It’s like something from a science fiction movie: a sinkhole swallowed the water, the fish and even nearby trees. 
To the weary eyes strained on daily news, this should come as no shock. There seems to be an increased amount of sinkholes across the crust lately. Maybe we can chalk it up to increased attention, or …just maybe there are more of them.
The prospects of having a pond filled with fish and life simply vanish before you eyes is unbelievable. 
And as these things go, the AP reports, townsfolk are coming up with paranormal ideas and dismissing scientific ones. The most interesting of thoughts: The owner of the pond just died–and took the pond with him.
While some may scoff at those with superstitious theories, think of this: The amount of hell on earth that Bosnia went through is inescapable. It’s no shock that they believe that evil can be alive and well under their feet–paranormal is what they lived with for thirty years.
The AP story ended like this:
“Only days before Hasan passed away he said: ‘I’ll take everything with me when I die.’ And that’s what he did,” Motanic said. “His daughter saw him walk on the lake the night he died.” 
Husein Nanic said it could be a sign that the end is nigh: “All sort of miracles happen before the doomsday,” he said. 
A little stroll through daily headlines may leave us all with the impression that the Mayan calender may have been off about twelve months.

TUESDAY NOVEMBER 26 2013

Thanksgiving travel begins. Many people are battling snow, ice, and rain. Just like in the movie PLANES TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES, it may be a long ride back home for some. Take it slow.. you’ll make it.

Meanwhile.. the news..

Volcanic rocks rain down on Sicily..(scary video included with the link)

Putin meets the Pope..

Video: The history of everything in two minutes..

Official report concludes that Adam Lanza had no known motive in Newtown massacre..

Mall santa charged with groping an elf..

The assassation of JFK upped heart attacks in Dallas TExas for years afterward..

So why did they try to remake CARRIE anyway?

Every time I laugh at the ‘prophecy of the popes’ this happens: Francis does something to remind me of it

The latest event to raise my conspiracy-tainted eyebrows: The Vatican has Peter the Roman on the display—the first pope—and it’s the first time. It’s happening under the watchful pontificate of Pope Francis. 

Reports indicate that the bones of the body supposedly of Peter. 
Does this pope knowingly make these allusions to St Peter just to  mess with people?

Grapes of wrath

Well, not the actual grape, but the life form that exists in the bag of them.
A few days ago, a friend showed me a video cell phone video from her daughter—it was a video of a spider crawling around in a bowel.  I was told: She went to a big grocery store and bought a bag of grapes. When she came home, she found a black widow lurking within her fruit.. When she returned the grapes, the store manager said that he heard other states had the same reports.
And now this..
There is a story online today about a woman who found a black widow spider in her grapes .. in Pennsylvania.  The story is NOT about my friend’s daughter—but the story if certainly similar.  
And her story is also the same as others from the nation, in which people in several states are reporting this sudden rash of venomous spiders..
I often wonder if stories like this are just another little urban legend, a blip on the rumor radar—intensified by the free wheeling internet. 
But I bring myself back to reality with this little fact: ANY black widow spider on grapes found could be potentially deadly.. 
Clean your grapes.
And watch for the spiders with hour glass red ..
