  • When Oklahoma is crackin’ stop your frackin’

    When Oklahoma is crackin’ stop your frackin’

    Seriously.. anyone getting even a wee bit concerned over what our natural gas extraction may be doing to the planet in the long run? Or even short run? Like a 24-hour short run?

    AP reporting this startling information Saturday night:
    The U.S. Geological Survey has recorded 14 earthquakes in Oklahoma since about 9:30 p.m. Friday, the largest being a magnitude 4.0.
       The 4.0 magnitude quake was recorded at 10:05 p.m. Friday about seven miles south of Langston. Three other quakes of magnitude 2.9, 3.0 and 3.3 were recorded Saturday afternoon in the Medford area.
       The other quakes ranged from magnitude 2.4 to 2.9.
    The energy industry is obviously denying that their fracking and gas extractions have anything to do with the uptick of quakes—but really, what else could they possibly say? Just admit it?
    But are we fracked or just fracking? Take a quick gander at the comments section on this local Oklahoma news station’s story about the shaking in Oklahoma..  Some calling the frackster-hucksrters ‘tree huggers’ while others are decrying gas companies. Everything is political these days. Even earthquakes.

  • Weird ritual at Berks County PA Memorial Gardens?

    Weird ritual at Berks County PA Memorial Gardens?

    This is what 69 NEWS reports:

    Decapitated chickens, pennies, pieces of coconut and heart candies were found on the grounds of the Berks County Memorial Gardens in Maidencreek Township this week.
    People are left wondering now if the scene was that of animal cruelty or some religious sacrifice..
    I know this from my paranormal investigations throughout the years.. There are Taiwanese beheading rituals involving chickens that are often still practiced today. There are also other ritualistic sacrifices of animals that tend to brew in Africa, as this article from 2012 illustrates ..
    But none of that really answers why coconuts, pennies, and candies surrounded the headless chickens in Memorial Gardens, but it hints at a possible lead.
    Or it’s just kids with their damn pranks…..
