  • Storm iClouds brewing

    Storm iClouds brewing

    A few years ago, I got into a deep conversation with a techie about the coming of the ‘cloud’ computing. He didn’t like it, not one bit. His doubts about the cloud stemmed from his paranoia over big government spying, but more importantly, hackers hacking.

    This weekend his nightmare vision he relayed to me came to fruition. Too bad the Hollywood elite who have their naked bodies plastered all over the internet never talked to my lowly paid computer friend. They may have thought twice..

    A hacker published Jennifer Lawrence nude on 4CHAN today.. yes, 4chan, the site that constantly guides the internet into new territory.

    But even more alarming; The hacker claims to have more private pictures from more than 100 A-list celebrities who apparently have been busily putting nude images of themselves into their safe clouds..  This from Josie Ensor in the London TELEGRAPH today:

    An anonymous hacker reportedly gained access to private photos on the Hunger Games actress’s phone, and those of more than 100 others, after a leak on Apple’s online storage system iCloud.

    The 60-odd pictures of Lawrence in varying stages of undress were then posted on the bulletin board website 4chan.

    More than 100 A-list celebrities are alleged to have been targeted, including reality TV star Kim Kardashian, singer Rihanna, models Candice Swanepoel, Cara Delevingne and Kelly Brook, and TV host Cat Deeley.

    This story has big ramifications for everyone.

    First off, it compels me to believe that my no-named IT geek knows what he’s talking about. He hates the cloud. I can see why..

    And secondly, this shows us how unsafe cloud technology is.

    Yes, hard drives can be hacked and attacked. But for God sakes, you still have a plug and a hard-wired device that is your personal possession. When you store in ‘the cloud,’ it’s up there.. in the air.. above your head and over the hills. Far away. Cloudy days..

    And finally, the most alarming part of the cloud: The cloud never dissipates, apparently.

    One of the hacked now revealed nude celebs: FINAL DESTINATION star Mary Winstead. She tweeted this:

    Knowing those photos were deleted long ago, I can only imagine the creepy effort that went into this. Feeling for everyone who got hacked.

    Deleted long ago. But still around. Never gone.

    This is now being called the biggest celebrity hacking scandal. Ever. Some stars say their lawyers will be taking action on anyone who re-posts the naked images.. Twitter is busy suspending accounts of those who publish..

    Jennifer Lawrence said tonight: “It’s so weird and hard how people take your privacy away from you.”  Yes, indeed.. but when you trust cloud technology, you’re agreeing to allow your privacy to be entrusted to shaky technology to being with..

    The clouds are forming.
    A storm is brewing..
    This sadly is just the beginning of data never being secure, safe, or sound in the high sky.

  • Behind the scenes.. and deep in the mind

    Behind the scenes.. and deep in the mind

    Remember, during that horror movie you’re watching, it is all just make believe. If you still don’t believe it, consider this: Behind the scenes photographs of horror flicks .. Hannibal Lector eating not flesh, but a french fry.. Michael Myers enjoying a Dr. Pepper.. And yes, even the gang ‘chillin’ with Freddy K.. A lot of the behind the scenes images are fun and frivolous, but one stood out to me as a little more painful, a little deeper: Heath Ledger, alone, walking with the JOKER mask in hand. A little interesting side note on that Joker mask used. In the 1960s, Ceser Romero starred in one of the BATMAN shows, called THE JOKER IS WILD. During a scene in the program, Romero is wearing that same clown mask before it is taken off and his true identity is revealed to the viewing television audience. The homage by the use of that mask was to Romero’s version of the villain..  The BUZZFEED list   is a great way to pass the time, have a few chuckles, and see some irony. There’s even an image of Linda Blair next to her robot double—the one whose head turned around while green vomit spewed. But sorry to be the buzzkill on the fun BUZZFEED lst, but the image of Hedger is a true reminder of the ‘behind the scenes’ hell that often takes place in the mind of an actor. As a matter of fact, in 2013, we saw how immersed Ledger became in the Joker behind the scenes when his haunting private diary was revealed. And yes, some even hinted as "satanic influences of the JOKER" as the blame for Ledger’s death, and others spoke of a "DARK KNIGHT curse" that probably isn’t true, but certainly is thought provoking to consider.  Nonetheless, there’s lot of behind the scenes images we don’t see. Wish we could. But until then.. who’s that Joker?

  • Famous summer last words

    Famous summer last words

    The annual tradition: The playing of the Famous Last Words song by Billy Joel.. I have linked up this song yearly this weekend for as  as I have had a web presence.. It’s doubly fun this time of year: Autumn is in the air, and it’s my birthday. But as I get older and older, each year’s birthday aspect becomes less enjoyable than the previous 12 months ..

    I am 34 now.. the show’s not over but it’s ‘halfway’ home for my caboose.

    The most poignant words, in my opinion , of this song (besides ‘comfort in a coffee cup, apples in the early fall’) are these: ‘They swept away all the streamers after the Labor Day parade. There’s nothing left for a dreamer now only one final serenade.’

    With summer ending.. and the cold winds ready to invade, I wish some streamers would just be left on the streets.. a little longer.. another day.

  • TERROR SCARE

    TERROR SCARE

    The FOX news report you can’t see to decide

    War and rumors of war, as the September 11 anniversary approaches, now new rumors abound online.

    Click through to this link, it is from a website that clearly delves deep into conspiracy theory. ;

    Before you discount it out of hand, take a look at the cashed versions of the FOXNews website that it presents.. If what I see is true, it appears that FOXNews has been doing test runs and fake reporting on a September 11, 2014 attack within the United States by the militant group ISIS..

    Are you seeing the same thing, are you looking at the same screen caps from the FOXNews website?

    Users across the Internet are now scouring any versions of old Fox news reports they can find showcase that the company published this fake story more than one time, another cached version looks like it was in there:http://verumetinventa.wordpress.com/2014/08/22/hacked-or-legit-fox-news-leaks-next-false-flag-attack-9112014/ on the FOX weekly site..

    As usual, I offer this up for your discernment and proper digestion. It’s definitely conspiracy theory, although it appears that maybe Fox news got trapped doing a practice run in real time for something that may or may not occur.

    We know the big news organizations have obituaries done for famous people years in advance .. Maybe they do the same practice stories for breaking news events also? I frankly would not be surprised, however I would be extremely shocked that someone accidentally posted such stories into the mainstream on live real websites. That is irresponsible, as seen in this instance.

    It’s weird and creepy. All of the people who say this is evidence of an upcoming false flag probably are not correct, it is more likely just a major blunder from some people who should never have committed such a clumsy act online.
    But…

    We report, you decide.

    and then this…

    Online posts show ISIS eyeing Mexican border, says law enforcement bulletin »

    Various sources are putting out news today that a bulletin insists terrorists or use the southern border as a staging rounds for the coming attack…

  • FINKE AND THE STINK

    FINKE AND THE STINK

    It’s inside baseball Hollywood style, but I am fascinated by the Nikki Finke/Deadline.com drama that has developed over the years.. if you don’t know Finke, she owns Hollywood with insults and exclusives.. she began DEADLINE.COM, and then someone came along and bought it.. she left and started her own site—nameed Nikkifinke.com of course..

    Then came a legal dispute.. and then this: Apparently, on Thursday much of the new website was taken after another website, “NikkieStink.com,” published rarely seen photos and videos of Finke. It promised to publish even more if Finke didn’t stop insulting people in Hollywood.. Finke has still maintained some activity on Twitter.

    Whoever owns NikkiStink.com also bought a .net and .org.

    NIKKISTINK reminded us of some of the ‘nasty’ comments that Finke has broadcast in the past. Among them (and try NOT to laugh):

    Nathan Fillion: “If he gets any fatter, he’s going to need his own channel”

    Kate Hudson: “Someone give Kate a cookie: I know the mags said she was fat 3 years ago, but jeez”

    Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger: “both seeing the same plastic surgeon for frequent facelift discounts”

    Billy Crystal: “His face looks like it was ironed – and I swear I can still see the scorch marks”

    Dustin Hoffman: “Remember when (he) was funny?  Before Botox froze his features”

    John Travolta’s: “triple chin”

    As far as who owns the STINK version of Finke? The TIMES tells us that everyone in Tinseltown is a suspect..

    And all of this may lead to Finke returning to journalism and again working for other people.

    Cruel stuff.

    Hollyweird indeed.

  • A comedian known as death

    A comedian known as death

    Joan Rivers: Coma or comfortable?

    This is a developing story tonight..

    TMZ was the first to report that Joan Rivers stopped breathing during a throat surgery..

    Tonight, the UK DAILY MAIL is running its own breaking news that Rivers has been placed in a medically induced coma.. her family, we are told in reports, anxiously await by her bedside.

    But another news report from REUTERS simply says she is resting comfortably..

    Rivers should be given privacy, as should her family.. This report is obviously newsworthy, but I hesitated linking it since …really… shouldn’t this be private for her and her close friends and relatives? I think so..

    But she’s a star.. And she has never washed up, regardless of time or age.. She is ‘on’ all of the time. She was ‘on’ on Wednesday, where she performed standup for a small group..

    I keep mentally coming back to this report, though, from the DAILY NEWS:

    “She did a joke onstage, she goes, ‘I’m 81 — I could go at any moment,’” recounted Shade Rupe, 45, who attended the Wednesday night show at the Laurie Beechman Theatre

    And now… a day later… she is in a hospital bed. In a coma.. Fate.. time.. timing..

    The cruel joke of life..

  • UFOs over Harrisburg PA

    UFOs over Harrisburg PA

    Harrisburg Woman and Police Say They Saw a UFO »

    The Pennsylvania woman who captured an unidentified flying object on her cell phone camera says she is, “scared to death now.”

    It surely does look a bit odd.. Especially when military facilities nearby say no flight activity would have been taking place on that night..

    The city of Harrisburg also say this object—more than just the woman being profiled by ABC NEWS and GOOD MORNING AMERICA..

    Eyewitnesses to the event say the object was not moving and was changing colors .. 911 calls were made, police saw it when they arrived on scene… The National Guard said it wasn’t them..

    I believe that this is a UFO—by definition any ‘unidentified flying object’ is a UFO.. But the fact that people are seeing this more than one night, and nights in a row in certain instances, tells me that we have two possibilities: A drone. Or … something ‘out there’..

  • THE ROB SCHNEIDER EFFECT..

    THE ROB SCHNEIDER EFFECT..

    Let me first say this.. I have no clue where the truth on this story is.. There are multiple sources reporting about ‘unnamed sources’ and multiple people stating those unnamed sources aren’t real.  The crowd that thinks vaccines cause autism are being accused of libel and propoganda. The people who think vaccines never cause any problems are being accused of ignoring blatant evidence of CDC lies. It’s convoluted..often crazy.. and now being graced by the inclusion of the one and only Rob Schneider.

    The group Focus Autism released a press release boasting they found out dramatic news concerning an MMR link to autism..

    Then a story appeared in Global Research stating that the US Centers for Disease Control were involved with covering up a higher incidence of autism in African Americans..  That report quoted ‘unnamed’ sources from the CDC, a whistleblower, saying that African-American boys receiving their first MMR vaccine before 36 months of age are 3.4 times more likely to develop autism vs. after 36 months.

    Yes.. the MMR vaccine.. Unless you’re under a rock, you know all about that ongoing fight.

    Natural News wrote a story about this.. pro-vaccine websites linked to it to mock it.. BUT..in the article, Natural News published an interesting email that it got from a FOIA request.., as seen here:

    Then the online information war got murkier.. A CNN iReport was published by a user ‘eplettner’ concerning the Global Research story. This report blazed online with the headline: “Fraud at the CDC uncovered, 340% increased risk of autism hidden from public.”  Comments on the story hit back hard..  The big majority of the comments thread opposed the story’s publication and said it was propaganda that will lead to health problems for children if big numbers of parents stop vaccinating their kids.

    I said before things got murky…

    There are real studies appearing on government websites that may cause a dilemma for people accusing the people behind this story of lies and deceit. There is a peer reviewed study on NCBI.NLM.GOV called “ Measles-mumps-rubella vaccination timing and autism among young african american boys: a reanalysis of CDC data.” This is a part of the quick conclusion from the study:

    The present study provides new epidemiologic evidence showing that African American males receiving the MMR vaccine prior to 24 months of age or 36 months of age are more likely to receive an autism diagnosis.

    What!? yes.. that’s what it said. The study appeared August 2014. The results section states this:

    When comparing cases and controls receiving their first MMR vaccine before and after 36 months of age, there was a statistically significant increase in autism cases specifically among African American males who received the first MMR prior to 36 months of age. Relative risks for males in general and African American males were 1.69 (p=0.0138) and 3.36 (p=0.0019), respectively. Additionally, African American males showed an odds ratio of 1.73 (p=0.0200) for autism cases in children receiving their first MMR vaccine prior to 24 months of age versus 24 months of age and thereafter

    A credible report.. on an official government website.

    BUT..
    Then came Rob Schneider.

    I first learned that Schneider got himself involved with this by seeing a link on the RAW STORY about it.. They headlined it: Actor and anti-vaxxer Rob Schneider: I have proof the CDC ‘fraudulently changed’ autism data.. Some of the comments on the RAW STORY thread have been hoping for Scheider to get measles from an vaccinated child and die.. others made fun of his acting career..  But someone did link the NCBI study to awkward reactions.. Including the RAW STORY itself, which linked a SNOPES article written a few days ago declaring the 340% autism increase as “probably false.”   Someone asked RAW STORY, “ So…believe Snopes or PubMed??”

    ALL of this confusion has led to the CDC releasing a statement, just within the last few days.. And here is their response in full:

    So….we now know the unnamed whistleblower. His name is Dr. Williams Thompson.. If am getting all of this right, it appears Thompson said that the CDC manipulated evidence by removing African American children without birth certificates for the study to justify vaccinations..

    And finally……Brian Hooker spoke to an online news organization concerning his conversations with Dr. Thompson.

    Ok.. I tried. I’m tired.. I am confused..

    Am I getting any of this right?
    Am I confused?
    Am I getting the full picture? The big picture?

    I’d love to hear thoughts.. see thoughts..

    And for Christ sakes, I wish this debate was over. But it appears it never will be..

    ….I’m confused. Is Rob?

  • BIG SCREEN BIGFOOT

    BIG SCREEN BIGFOOT

    [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNKqNBey9MQ]

    Get ready.. Get set…

    It may not be the most original movie, but the BLAIR WITCH makers are back.. this time with a film trailer for the movie EXISTS..

    The first official trailer was just released a few days back.. Already the tens of thousands of people who watched it are fiercely debating whether it’s worth the time, if Bigfoot should have been shown in the clip, and even if BLAIR WITCH was that good after all.

    Personally, I thought the real summer hit the year BLAIR WITCH came out was THE SIXTH SENSE. However, Blair Witch did change everything: It make movies cheaper, easier to create, and much much more “POV” in style.

    But.. it is high time for a BIGFOOT horror movie to be made.

    And this Bigfoot in EXISTS is no HARRY from the Henderson family..

    AND ANYWAY…doesn’t Eduardo Sanchez know that Bigfoot is interdimensional.. Amway?

    What say you, all, fearless small feeters?

  • Weird tales of snakes and curses

    Weird tales of snakes and curses

    More weird news making real headlines

    I have written recently about my fascination with stories that ultimately are of the ‘paranormal’ making headlines in mainstream publications.. Today shows us another example of the increasing paranormal-ification of the daily news: Roberto Calderoli, a Senator from Italy, put a request in to the Pope: He wants an exorcism.. 

    Tom Kington in Rome, reporting for the The LONDON TELEGRAPH writes, this:

    At a ceremony last year attended by Miss Kyenge’s father, Clement Kikoko Kyenge, in his home village, a prayer was said in which God was asked to free Mr Calderoli from evil thoughts. A photo of Mr Calderoli was then placed before an altar dedicated to the ancestors of the village, and the same request made.

    But this month Mr Calderoli said a series of misfortunes he has incurred since then – including six hospital operations, the death of his mother, two broken fingers and two broken veterbrae – proved he had actually been cursed by Mr Kyenge.

    And more:

    To cap his year of bad luck, Mr Calderoli this month tweeted a photo of himself holding a six foot long snake he said he had found and killed at his home in Italy.

    Maybe St. Patrick freed the snakes from Ireland and they all moved to Italy..?

    Before getting to overdone in religious fervor to support Mr. Calderoli, consider a few things hidden in plain view about his past dealings with the supposed possessor.A defamation of character case was opened against Calderoli in 2013.. Before he claimed possession at the hands of Kyenge, he first compared to an orangutan—said sorry, but still said it wasn’t racist.  The incident led to the Italian Prime Minister calling for an end to the racist insults..

    With that all said, some faithful may believe that given his possession and racist sentiments, it’s high time for an exorcism. Others may just see things for what things are…

    But regardless.. what about this snake!
