Month: March 2014

Ever since John B. Wells left his permanent slot as the Saturday host of Coast to Coast AM, Premiere Radio has given listeners a strange brew of random hosts. George Knapp and Dave Schrader have answered the call, but other amateurs have gone overboard as the tryouts continue to replace the highly rated Wells.

This weekend saw one such host, David Ruben, a self-proclaimed ‘dream expert’ and educator. He interviewed John Lear–a famed name from Coast to Coast annals and UFOlogy.

And then the train wreck commenced.

Ruben allowed Lear to take over the program. Lear randomly cited strange conspiracies, briefly talked about how 9/11 was a hoax and men are living on the moon. Lear claimed there were 40 planets in our solar system–a busy place–and even said Siegfried of Siegfried and Roy died, leading to the mauling of the ‘stand in’ playing Siegfried. Ruben was unable to reign in Lear as he rambled on throughout three hours of programming.

During the third hour, however, Ruben suffered what appeared to be an on-air breakdown.  Lear was describing his tale of seeing a UFO when Ruben said he had a flashback to his pre-teen childhood when he lived in Hawaii. Ruben said he saw a beam of light escaping the water. Lear told him that if he saw a UFO he was ‘on it,’ alleging that people who see UFOs only see them after they are abducted and experimented on.

The prospect forced Ruben into a strange diatribe.. He began breathing heavily as the panic ran through his body. Lear went on to hint that awful things may have been done to him, leaving Ruben completely in a new place. A strange place..

While Lear went back to his script, Ruben finally intervened–only to further insist he was in a panic and his perspective on life had just changed.

The fine users at the popular message board BELL GAB have done their due diligence by documenting the bizarre radio scene from Saturday night ..

And this is what Premiere Radio networks is putting out over 500+ stations? This is the show built from the ground up by Art Bell? And THIS is the type of person auditioning to replace a albeit politically controversial but highly rated John B. Wells?

I assume David Ruben may not be a host in the near future. He may, however, be abducted by aliens in the beams of light escaping the Hawaiian ocean.

As for Lear? ? He’ll be a guest again. Maybe again on the next April fools show.

Sure, America worships celebrity.. but will we eat them? Serious.. A company named BiteLabs has a novel and disgusting idea: Growing meat from celebrity tissue samples. I suppose it’s the closest thing to cannibalism that can be sold legally. The product is salami. It will be 30% celebrity and 40% animal meat, the rest will be fats and spices. And you can enjoy a nice glass of Chianti with your cannibal celebrity sammich..


March is roaring in like a lion.. this is the current wintry state of affairs as watches and warnings for ice and snow are almost everywhere!

This is horrifying: There is an alarming rate of birth defects in Washington–the HORROR REPORT reported on this matter over a week ago. However, new information shows just how awful it is.. babies missing parts of their brains and skulls.. The cluster is around a polluted US nuclear site.. And no major media outlets brings that up.

Real zombie Apocalypse: An incurable flesh-eating disease spreads in the Philippines… Some believe that a prophecy was made about this, saying people will suffer it for not repenting.

More on the tragic death of Elisa Lam: is going to get a horror movie treatment. I have already written how I don’t appreciate turning truth info flagrant profit.. But SONY is going to do just that. I am sure her family is ecstatic hearing this news. We know this so far: The movie will be called THE BRINGING..

‘WE ARE WHAT WE ARE’ horror movie getting praise in the UK..

We know this: At least 28 killed and 113 injured when knife-wielding men stormed Kunming Railway Station in southwest Yunnan province.

More information according to reports: During the mass stabbing attack, there were several men wearing all black who rushed the train station and began to reportedly stab anyone they saw..

There are images circulating online which purport to show mangled and stabbed body laying dead on the ground in the station.. I am choosing not to publish these for two reasons, number one being that they could be fake and number two being that they are extremely tacky and personal to show the mangled corpses left at bioterror attack. Other websites are showing gruesome imagery..

More reports indicate that some of the men were shot dead by police, the others are still being tracked down.

This is one of the deadliest my contacts in China in the last several years.

At this point no motive has been translated to authorities but there is a horrific and gruesome scene playing out in real time.

If you ever read a science journal and scratched your head in confusion, you’re not alone.

You’re left wondering.. what did I just read?

Am I completely stupid for not understanding a single sentence?

Such big words may have confused you but the structure of the sentence may have led to even more exacerbation of the brain.

And today we learn this: 120 papers published in science journals over the past several years have been called out. 

They are frauds. Not real.

FOXNEWS reports this,

Some 120 papers published in established scientific journals over the last few years have been found to be frauds, created by nothing more than an automated word generator that puts random, fancy-sounding words together in plausible sentence structures. As a result they have been pulled from the journals that originally published them. 

The fake papers are in the fields of computer science and math and have titles such as “Application and Research of Smalltalk Harnessing Based on Game-Theoretic Symmetries”; “An Evaluation of E-Business with Fin”; and “Simulating Flip-Flop Gates Using Peer-to-Peer Methodologies.” The authors of those papers did not respond to requests for comment from FoxNews.com.

This would seem to be a pretty big deal in the science world.
Undoubtedly, these journals were quoted and reported on, heralded and debated. And they weren’t even real ..

The scale of the problem appears to be enormous in the scientific community. SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN wrote a section in their summary on how to create a nonsense paper. 

I often wonder if these reports on the news of the ‘new survey’ or study contemplating some sort of thing is real to begin with.

We know that 120 papers published in real journals weren’t real.. And that is a big deal.

I was outside Thursday night when I saw two simultaneous bright lights in the sky above me.. They were long lasting and not typical ‘shooting stars’ as I have come to know them.

10:00 AM UPDATE: VLADIMIR PUTIN RECEIVES APPROVAL FROM PARLIAMENT TO USE RUSSIAN TROOPS IN UKRAINE…

X X X X X

Original update: There are multiple weather models showing the storm this weekend moving north.. and south.. and no where.. and here. And there. My area is bracing for 1 to 25 inches of snow. That’s an old joke, of course, but this go around it’s actually quite accurate. The weatherman knows a storm is brewing–they are getting better at timing–but they sure aren’t sure yet as to what path it takes…

The sun shines.. but so many nations see war planes on bright and blue days. I worry about war today.. This world has seen way too much of it in modern life. But so much more seems to be coming..

Some Saturday morning news to use or lose this bright and shiny sunny morning:

The world is watching–and some are holding collective breath–as Russia and Crimea continue to embroil themselves in an inevitable war.. A few days ago, the BBC ran a good article explaining what was so dangerous about the situation in Crimea..

The other facts as they are known at this hour. It may change by next hour:

Russia extends its reach in Crimea with calls for troops in Ukrainian region..

President Obama is warning Vladimir Putin that there will be ‘costs’ for Ukraine action..

But… Putin is holding the cards and dictating the timetable..

This is the dogs of war floating at sea.. WE should all be watching these provocations closely: Russia is seeking access in eight countries for its ships and bombers.  There is already a mysterious ‘spy ship’ docked in Havana..  But now they also want to be set to fire in Cuba, Venezuela, Singapore.. and more..

As expected.. the United States is scrambling for intelligence on the developing crisis..

Some history: Crimea was a gift to Ukraine. It happened in 1954 and, in between Nikita Khruschchev famous using his shoes as weapons during speeches, he gifted the beautiful Crimea to Ukraine.. that was back in happier days when mother Russia claimed Ukraine for the Soviets..

There are also some other reports worth contemplating. Back in 1994, President Bill Clinton, John Major, Boris Yelstin, and Leonid Kuchma signed a treaty. That treaty, now it’s said, may actual embroil the United States and Britain into a war with Russia if Russia invades Ukraine!! The agreement signed back in the roaring 90s had world leaders vowing to protect Ukraine’s border. Things were happier then.

And lest we forget… a month ago media outlets quietly reported that Iran was sending warships close to the United States East Coast border.. 

So you see how this could could quickly get out of hand, right?
Just as the Archduke Franz Ferdinand..
