    Jay-Z Embraces Five-Percent Nation, Addresses Illuminati and Questions Other Religions »

    If Jay-Z wanted to rid himself of the burden of being a member of the Illuminati, his latest actions will do nothing for him..
    News was made this weekend when it was released that Jay-Z is a bling wearing member of the Five Percent Nation. The New York POST story was pretty sensational regarding the whole event.. so I went to a less sensational source. NPR reported about the Five Percent Nation in 2006. This is what NPR reported are the tenets of the belief structure:
    Tenets of the Five Percent Nation
    (1.) That black people are the original people of the planet Earth.
    (2.) That black people are the fathers and mothers of civilization.
    (3.) That the science of Supreme Mathematics is the key to understanding man’s relationship to the universe.
    (4.) Islam is a natural way of life, not a religion.
    (5.) That education should be fashioned to enable us to be self-sufficient as a people.
    (6.) That each one should teach one according to their knowledge.
    (7.) That the black man is God and his proper name is ALLAH — Arm, Leg, Leg, Arm, Head.
    (8.) That our children are our link to the future and they must be nurtured, respected, loved, protected and educated.
    (9.) That the unified black family is the vital building block of the nation.
    But back to the other train wreck of thought: The Illuminati. We have been hearing this rumor for years that Jay-Z is a proud member of the illuminated. The rumors have gone as far as saying that Mr. Z spread the belief to Beyonce.. And as a result, she became Sasha Fierce on stage—in interviews she seems to truly believe that this devilish personality exists within her.
    This is a judge for yourself kind of story—I think you need to do your own digging and figure out the reality or fiction of 1) the Illuminati and 2) Jay-Z’s seemingly real knowledge about the occult and secret societies.. 
    I just know this: Jay-Z and Beyonce are really rich. Sasha Fierce is too.
    And they are both plain weird and creepy…
  • The other day I wrote about Tommy Lynn Sells’ execution..

    The other day I wrote about Tommy Lynn Sells’ execution..

    …and I was not too forgiving of the killer—I suspended by disagreement with the death penalty because of Sells’ crimes and didn’t introduce the notion to my mind to feel bad for him,

    It brings up the bigger question: What should we do with people on death row or any criminal who has exhausted the forgiveness of society?
    In America, we seem to become agitated any time we hear that prisoners get basic rights such as food, water, and books.. We get infuriated when we think about how they drain the tax dollars of money.. (of course we seldom care that pot offenders get hard time and that death row inmates often languish for years even though DNA evidence now may prove them innocent of the crimes).. 
    How should a dignified nation treat its criminals? With dignity.. I am good with that.

    Maybe except with Sells…

    The world needs to be ready

    Ebola breaks out on a scale never seen before »

    I think we all need to be paying attention to this story.. Not only is humanity having a terrible time in Africa where Ebola has resumed killing, but it’s now a burdensome mission for all nations to stop the spread.
    We are more connected than ever.. we travel more than any time in history. 
    And Ebola is as deadly as it has ever been—it appears that it’s newfound mission is to spread beyond the borders of the nations where it dwells..
    Maybe go back and watch that deplorably bad 1995 movie OUTBREAK. Graphics are bad and shoulder pads were big.. but it’s a lesson on what we do not want to have happen on this planet.
  • A personal paranormal barbecue summit

    A personal paranormal barbecue summit

    Discussions over grilled food

    I had a wonderful free flowing discussion with friends yesterday .. we were invited to a very early spring barbecue.. great food. And even better conversation.. We spoke about the missing flight 370, we talked about conspiracy theories, 9/11, God or the lack of one, and the meaning of life and whether mediums have the ability to talk to the dead. It was all of my interests spiraled into one great chat with good people—add to that chicken and homemade macaroni and cheese.
    I did come to a realization, though.. During the conversation, others gave adamant opinions about their personal beliefs—their thoughts on what God is and if there is one, along with any other theory of mythological or paranormal subject matter. As for me? I just don’t know.
    I don’t really know anything.
    I read the theories, I see the information presented by experts, I know of the books, the Bibles, the Korans, the priests, and the ghostly tales.. I am aware of the Planet Nibiru.. I know that aliens met Dwight Eisenhower and told him there’s no God.. I know that George Noory has the worst toupee on earth.
    But I just don’t know what my own opinion is.. I look at others who often say that they have the answers as closed-minded.. I often categorize Christian zealots in the same bin as atheists—neither allows much thought opposed to their own..
    But as for me? I just don’t know..
    Opinions are so often existent only to be proven wrong.. If I say that Flight 370 landed safely there’s the chance it didn’t.. and really, I just don’t know!
    I don’t know!

    We don’t know!

    And though we don’t know, we will endlessly fall victim to the parade of opinionmakers, and haphazardly jump on the blowhard bandwagon of hot air. No one on that train knows, really. They just don’t admit it.
    Is there a God? I really don’t know.

    Are there aliens? I don’t know.
    Is anything real?

    Is anything real…That is the question Truman Burbank asked in one of my favorite movies, THE TRUMAN SHOW. The answer he got was that he was real.
    Maybe that’s it.. nothing is really real.. except us. And we waste too much time debating and creating wars about Gods we have never seen and beliefs we cannot defend with fact.
    I want there to be a God.

    And aliens. I’d rather there be no planet X, though.

    But Truman Burbank? I just know he’s real..

  • What you see isn’t what you get

    What you see isn’t what you get

    A real study concludes this: You might be seeing this on a 15-second delay »

    The 10 to 15 second delay theory comes as a result of a new study, which says that instead of seeing things as they are right now our brain captures an average of the past 10 seconds to create a more calm state…
    Maybe people who say that they have a different frequency of existence actually see things as they are right now, or maybe people who are schizophrenic actually don’t have this delay mechanism?
    Fascinating stuff…
    There really is so much about the mind we don’t know. 
    That old wives tale that we only use “10% of the brain” is false.. Really, no one is quite sure, and others claim it’s much more than 10%. 
  • Another mother heard ‘voices’ before she drowned her children in Pennsylvania

    Another mother heard ‘voices’ before she drowned her children in Pennsylvania

    Six-year-old child left brain dead from Pennsylvania mom’s drowning attempt dies »

    Just a horrible, rotten story..

    Laurel Michelle Schlemmer said she was hearing voices before drowning her two children and that they’d be better off in heaven. So she killed them…

    Their voices are forever gone now due to her crimes..
    The second son that Laurel Michelle Schlemmer attempted to drown was confirmed dead Saturday.
    It is just creepy to always hear the ‘voices’ defense be used immediately.. so many mothers seem to do this to their innocent children and then return with a defense that voices told them to do it to send their kids to heaven..
    Two things that completely scare me to my bones: Death via water and mothers who kill their own children without sorrow.. couple them together and you have heartbreaking true crimes like this..
  • A deer caught in the alien headlights look

    A deer caught in the alien headlights look

    This photo is making its way around the internet and into an inbox near you.. It’s from February .. The image you see if of a deer with strange lights hovering behind it.. it is from by Rainer and Edith Shattles at their Jackson County, Mississippi home..There is also video .. the video has gone viral after WLOX did a profile on the couple’s trail cams.. And it’s a series of them, over an hour of time in which the deer were lit up by bright lights .. Very creepy stuff.. a deer in the headlights.. But the headlights not from a car.. but maybe a galaxy far far away?

    Very creepy stuff.. a deer in the headlights.. But the headlights not from a car.. but maybe a galaxy far far away?
    The photographs are pretty creepy–and at this point the best that can be said is that they are unexplained. Maybe something very normal will be found.. maybe a helicopter. 
    Or maybe an alien was just trying to spot some cattle and saw the deer instead–I never heard of mangled deer mutilations, only cows.. or did I miss something?
    I did receive an email from a reader about this story.. I was aware of it for a few days, but didn’t post anything fearing that some hoax would be revealed immediately after the Shattles went public. So far, though, nadda. No one has been able to say that what is seen is fake–and the Shattles seem pretty reliable in their explications of the events (though we know people can always be deceptive) .. the reader who sent me this also said, 


    My co workers and I were had a discussion a few months ago about finding trail cameras. Snatching the SD card and photoshopping some of the images and putting the card back. Very easy to freak someone out. I hope they looked at the meta data of those files. They might find a surprise.

    Good point. And maybe this is what happened here–this could be the most rational and pointed explanation.
