Getting off my train.. from somewhere out there
After life communication
There is a really interesting documentary on VIMEO I watched called CALLING EARTH.. it’s a rough cut documentary about after death communication with the living.. And it’s worth a watch.
A few takeaway points that I had after seeing it:
- It often seems that recordings of the dead appear to be recorded in some way.. For example, this documentary opens up to a woman hearing her dead daughter on a recording disciplining her dog—the girl was dead at the time it was recorded. Could it be that history just plays back over and over again in some way? that we are just … a movie or hologram that exists on a continuous loop?
- The chilling idea of a dead person calling me and leaving a message on a voice mail is down right creepy. But … often times those who report it are overjoyed by the impact it has.. That ‘one last time’ to hear a voice of a deceased loved one..
- If the dead are experienced using communication devices, why haven’t they mastered Facebook yet? Think of it: How many times have friends and family died, but their Facebook pages live on.. and in doing so, people continue to grieve, post messages and stories of the person’s life, and say how much they miss them. What if, one day, the dead find a way to communicate back? To “like” a post or even more, to respond? The future is now.. so why haven’t the dead learned to use this one yet? Maybe the ‘get off my train guy’ from GHOST doesn’t have a computer …
And finally…when do we die anyway? We used to do the ole’ feather trick. Then we moved on to when the heart stopped.. now we are at a point where when the brain stops we believe someone is dead—believe. But with each modern discovery, it seems more and more likely that death will continue to be kicked further down the road..
Most scientists don’t believe in an afterlife—but some are beginning to wonder.. question.. And study.
Old paranormal fields that were confined to embarrassed circles of people hiding their investigations are now beginning to see the light of day, and the analysis of science.
Sometimes EVPs are simply what you think you’re hearing.. you may be so desperate for a message that you hear a muffled sound and suddenly think it’s your loved one saying hi from the netherworld. However, some EVPs are without a doubt filled with clear-cut audio that is simple and unforgivingly real.
Even if it’s not real.. it’s real to the person who heard what they heard…
Give the documentary a whirl during your spare moments in life. It may answer questions, bring closure, but even better: Make you wonder, ponder, think and quake at the prospects that there’s something far greater than an monumental accident leading to the creation of matter and all that matters.

Annabelle.. not looking good to me
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHaoIdqfwzE]
This is the trailer for ANNEBELLE, the prequel to the CONJURING by James Wan.
It looks highly disappointing. That’s an early judgement, perhaps too early.
Trailers aren’t everything..
This one was not.

WWE doing what it does best: Commenting on pop culture and current events
Russian-themed WWE characters use MH17 disaster as part of act »
The characters Lana and Rusev launched into an anti-American rant in which they made reference to the flight MH17 being shot down and hailed Russian president Vladimir Putin for ‘making fools’ out of the U.S..
People are quite angry about this, so the mainstream media says, on Twitter and all of the other antisocial networks that exist out there on the information beltway.
While it may be the old ‘too soon’ cliche that is best used in this situation, I am not at all surprised at what the WWE is doing.
Back when when the WWE was the WWF, they capitalized on Iranian hatred by making Hulk Hogan win the 1984 title belt against the Iron Sheik..
In 1990, Sgt Slaughter turned his back on the United States and joined with Iraq ..
Hulkster had to ave the say the day and rid the WWF of anti-American sentiment.
So now wrestling has LUNA..
But there’s no Hulk Hogan to save the day this time. I think John Cena is right for the job..
Listen.. We all know, at this point in life, that wrestling is fake. It’s an act.. but so often it’s on the cutting edge of pop culture—it’s how it stayed in fashion for so many decades. Vince McMahan is obviously no stranger to controversy and will get through this LUNA lunacy quite fine.
As to whether it’s offensive? Sure.. but that’s the point. It’s an attempt to market the character as someone we will all hate in unison. It’s quite a keen way of doing it.. controversial, too. But … if an organization was free of controversy, people may very well stop paying attention to it.. Don’t think THAT doesn’t run through Vince McMahan’s mind.

When the Ice cream stops melting
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXS5QO0JpA4]
The local newscaster had a little smirk and smile when she told of the ice cream that did not melt in hot weather.. The WalMart Great Value sandwich hardly melted in 80 degree weather—and a second sandwich didn’t melt either.
…In a comparison, other ice cream melted. Walmart’s did not.
But Walmart says it has all to do with the amount of buttermilk, and then got defensive saying that it meets FDA requirements.
Oh and here’s the gem of the ‘news’ story: The reporter ends saying ‘though there is nothing wrong’ with the Walmart ice cream, the customer misses the ‘old fashioned’ ice cream that actually..
“Old fashioned?”
Have we not gotten to the point of no return? Where frankenfood is the norm? Are we accepting this? Instead of demanding REAL food, are we just going to “miss it” while we eat our chemically enhanced cocktails of poison and death?
Ice cream that does not melt. It’s not ice cream…
Soylent Green didn’t melt either..

Case of the Mondays
A frightful Monday.. steering the course of the planet earth down the path of hell and high water, sinkholes and mysteries.. Forever looking deep in the face of obscurity.. meanwhile charging through electrons and atoms in an attempt to figure out if the building blocks of life were just meaningless pieces of cardboard, or even plastic..dumped in an ocean filled with rummage already. The giant yard sale that can be seen from space..
But for something to exist, does it not have to be seen? And if so, is that the reason we are here to begin with? Because something deep in space is watching our every move–or even more: Programming our actions?Here are the actions taking place on the planet earth today, and the actors acting in them.
Former AP reporter says that United States has satellite imagery proving that Ukraine troops shot down Flight 17.. At this point, the United States and most of the world has joined forces to blame Vladimir Putin for comlicity in what many say is the Russian separatist shoot down of the flight.. Read the article for yourself, written by former AP journo Robert Parry..
A massive sinkhole opens in Florida. But it did not just open. It exploded..
Clyde Lewis says he saw his first Bigfoot this weekend..
The mysterious crater in Siberia: All normal?
WWE slammed over using Flight 17 in storyline..
Alexandra Shipp to play Aaliyah in biopic..An endangered forest is South Florida will most likely be destroyed.. for a Walmart..
Why don’t ice cream sandwiches MELT anymore??

When big news happens, big audiences tune to FOX
Megyn Kelly, Sean Hannity Hit New Ratings Highs With Crisis Coverage »
Coverage of both the Malaysia Airlines downed over Ukraine and unrest in the Gaza region helped two Fox News Channel programs reach new total-audience highs, according to data from Nielsen
Kelly is easy on the eyes. Hannity is not. Depending on your political beliefs, their voices are either that of angels or fingernails dragging on chalk boards. Regardless of it all: They won big.
I think one guy and my neighbor watched MSNBC’s coverage.

Russian separatists ensure conspiracy theories abound on Flight 17 shootdown
MH17 flew corpses as passengers, pro-Russia rebels claim »
This certainly muddies up the waters.. Conspiracy theories certainly abound.
The obvious conclusion some have made based off of the Russian claims of bloodless and long dead corpses is that this is flight 370—the missing plane..
Though at this point I don’t know what happened to the 300 that boarded flight 17, maybe they would be put on the next Malaysian flight that goes missing, and a horrible cycle begins..
BUT..
Before a conspiracy theory about flight 17 takes flight, consider this:
A fall from 33,000 altitude can cause cadavers (bodies) to almost instantly freeze, add this to high force of ground impact, it will make bodies (cadavers) appear to be decomposed. ..
This certainly could explain with logic why the Russian separatists are claiming that the bodies are long dead ..
If you believe the Russians to begin with..

As the flight was shot down…
Bodies rained down on Ukraine village after plane disaster »
Reuters reports some gory details from the flight 17 shoot down.. A snippet from their extended article:
One of the corpses fell through the rickety roof of Irina Tipunova’s house in this sleepy village, just after Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 exploded high over eastern Ukraine, where pro-Russian separatists are fighting government forces. “There was a howling noise and everything started to rattle. Then objects started falling out of the sky,” the 65-year-old pensioner said in front of her grey-brick home. “And then I heard a roar and she landed in the kitchen, the roof was broken,” she said, showing the gaping hole made by the body when it came through the ceiling of the kitchen in an extension to the house. The dead woman’s naked body was still lying inside the house, next to a bed.
The rest of the story gets worse.. Reuters reports many women and children being aboard this doomed flight. But even more disturbing is the lack of something .. CNN is reporting that the crash site is largely neglected..instead of forensics analysts on site to recover bodies, it’s a grab bag of personal possessions up for the taking by guiltless looters .. CNN reports:
Emergency workers tell CNN it’s not their job to collect the bodies. And a local pro-Russian rebel leader has said that officials from the Netherlands and Malaysia asked that the bodies not be moved. But rescue crews and inspectors from those countries are not on site. And to get there, they would have to drive about 90 minutes from the city of Donetsk down pot-hole pocked roads. But these lead through a war zone, past checkpoints set up by varying local militias. There is no central command, virtually no rule of law.
Disturbing at the least.. Sickening as well. Bodies just rot in the sunflower fields forever ..
