Military choppers stalk the night sky over downtown Miami

This was a joint military and police training exercise to prepare for ‘overseas drills’ and make sure equipment is in check..
But…is there a need to have sounds of the copters opening fire on citizens below? at 1:30 second, ‘blank rounds of gunfire’ were shot from the helicopters.
It’s only just a drill, of course…..
A YouTube user took to the net to show his taped footage from the Obama Inauguration this past week. It seems to show…….something….near the Washington Monument. The YouTube user shows it twice asking aloud, “What is that?”
Here is the video. Judge for yourself.
What is it?
Helicopter? Lens flare?
Craft from another world?
A reptilian craft coming to deliver flies to attack President Obama?
Just what, in the world or out of it, is that?

I’d say lens flare.
But it’s sure fun to think it’s not.
A few weeks ago, CNN’s Anderson Cooper took to the airwaves during his show 360 to battle online rumors and conspiracy theories surrounding the tragic Sandy Hook shooting. Cooper lamented the freedom the internet gives to hoaxes and rumor-mongering.. he blasted the video that has received millions of hits, the video which blends raw footage and rumor together to create questions on the official narrative of the shooting.
It can be argued, though, that media botched up the reporting on this story from the beginning. They took false leads and broadcast them to the world.. they reported the wrong suspect .. they said people died who did not. It all began with reporters trying to get a story too fast..
And now this: Rumors online of what may have actually happened that day.
Add to it a new video, one which will no doubt create more websites and videos afterwards–and maybe another response from Anderson Cooper. After all, this video involves Anderson himself.

As you can see, it appears to show Anderson Cooper’s nose vanish for a split second, causing some to ask if they were in front of a green screen and if the person involved with the interview was just acting..
Some comments have tried to debunk the video.. others say Anderson Cooper’s nose was up another orifice on his body.. one YouTube user asked this, however:
I heard it could be a YouTube video compression problem?
Can anyone verify this ?
Perhaps that is the best theory as to why Cooper’s nose seems to vanish in midsentence. That or a green screen was used and CNN tried to act like they were actually on location in Newtown..
Regardless of how it happened, or what even did happen, it won’t matter now. The rumor is out there.. this will just be added to the next conspiracy video on Sandy Hook.
We’ll see if Mr. Cooper responds directly. There may, as the compression of the YouTube video theory has it, a very logical explanation.
Sometimes nothing you see is true. Even fiction.
The Reuters news service reports:
Television footage showed people sobbing outside the club, while shirtless firefighters used sledge hammers and axes to knock down an exterior wall to open up an exit.
“It was really fast. There was a lot of smoke, really dark smoke,” survivor Aline Santos Silva, 29, told Globonews TV. “We were only able to get out quickly because we were in a VIP area close to the door.”
Truly tragic news coming from Brazil as the death toll continues to rise in the nightclub fire.. it happened at the Kiss nightclub in Santa Maria.. Hundreds are dead, hundreds injured.. CNN and other sources report that many died from smoke inhalation.. Others were trampled as panic ensued when people tried to escape the flames..
Developing story..
CNN reports:
A fire swept through a nightclub in southern Brazil, killing at least 90 people early Sunday, officials said.
The fire started around 2 a.m. at the Kiss nightclub in the city of Santa Maria. Firefighters were still pulling out bodies, and Col. Adilomar Silva, the regional coordinator of civil defense, expected the death toll to climb.
Officials could not immediately say what caused the fire.
I forgot how great this movie was in a disaster edge of your seat kind of way.. It’s on HBO and I’m re-scared just like I was when I first saw it in 2004..
I was scared by weather then .. Little did I know how much I’d be even more frightened by 2012 and now the prospects for 2013.. The climate is changing rapidly. No doubt about it… We are powerless in the end..
I recall reviewing the movie for the HORROR REPORT way back in 2004. I think I was critical of the imagery but not of the story. It was a typical disaster movie, big budget, all that. But there was a deeper meaning in it that we should have all taken away. And now, in 2013, have we learned anything? Would THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW may more sense now if it was released this year instead of then?
Fun fact: What inspired the DAY AFTER TOMORROW? None other than the book by Whitley Streiber and Art Bell, THE COMING GLOBAL SUPERSTORM. When that book came out Matt Lauer laughed at them both on the TODAY show… Today we name hurricanes ‘superstorms’…Few laugh.
And that scares me deeply..

Cold and snow is being blamed for lousy box office numbers.. Friday night figures trickling in.. HANSEL AND GRETAL was able to top the box office with a lower-than-expected $6 million opening night .. It’s projected to make around for $17 million the weekend–but that is decidedly lower than the predicted $50 mil…
Could snow really have that large of an impact? Major metro areas in the Northeast hardly got an inch..
But it’s a good excuse when a much anticipated film flops during the cold weeks of late January…
The President’s weekly radio address featured hints that he will crack down soon on ‘irresponsible behavior’.. Actually he more than hinted it instead Obama flat out said it..
But we also know the free market works best for everyone when we have smart, commonsense rules in place to prevent irresponsible behavior
