Thursday news
Thursday headlines from the world at large..
Troubling news..
Unsettling news.It’s all in a Thursday..
This is going to be a fact of the future: Smart pills are here. They are getting better and they are equipped with cameras and robotic parts.. And they are raising some very important and troubling ethical questions. Chips that people cannot remove. The medical miracles are on the way–but they will be doubled up with moral and ethical worries..But the future is now, not just in medicine, but in banking.. more and more biometric banking is how things are being done. It is becoming commomplace..
There is no stopping “progress.”

Elliot Rodgers’ crime has ignited fierce debate–even Hollywood stars defended their city and blamed guns instead. But here is another perspective as written by Michael Snyder: The crime is a product of teaching men that the only thing important is life is having sex.x x x

Weird Wednesday news happenings from the world and beyond
This past weekend, a lightning strike made news: One World Trade Center was struck during a storm in New York City, video to prove it also exists.. My initial reaction to the amazing lightning strike was that it was a conglomeration of the souls who once housed the 8000 body parts that now lay in the 9/11 Museum. Perhaps they found out a wealthy and elite cocktail party was held on their makeshift gravesite next to the trinket shop..

This is Chevrony Lloren. She is dead–but in death she achieved her wish. She wanted to be showcased in her wedding dress in a red chair with plants and flowers around her. A funeral home in Puerto Rico made it happen (and seemingly does so often)x x xNew details are emerging about the HUNGER GAMES killer Elliot Rodger. The 22-year-old virgin was seeing a therapist since the age of 8.. according to a family friend, he was also seeing the therapist “daily” .. While it’s not yet known what drugs he was on, no doubt there was a mix and match of several.. He killed with a gun–but also with a knife..x x xSo much for bringing the girls home.. Nigeria said that the abducted school girls in the nation have a known location. But they cannot be rescued..x x x
Amazing news from beyond the Milky Way galaxy today.. There may have been (and may NOT have been) a Gamma Ray burst in the Andromeda Galaxy.. Scientists say that if one did actually occur, it’s far away and will not destroy the planet earth. Data is still coming in–scarce at this point, reports say.. It was apparently either a Gamma Ray burst or an Ultraluminous X-ray object. It may be worth remembering during Art Bell’s brief Sirius stint, he interviewed Michio Kaku on his first program. Among the many topics discussed: What a Gamma Ray burst would do the planet earth should one occur close enough to hit..

GlaxoSmithKline is under investigation in the UK by the Serious Fraud Office (real name, seriously) .. The criminal investigation is into the drug maker’s commercial practices, according to reports.. The New York TIMES details some more in its reporting on the matter, but neither the drug company nor the Fraud office are providing any more background on what the fraud accusations may be.. but we do know this from REUTERS: The drug company already is facing claims of bribery in China and four other countries. Shares are falling in the stock market.. But across the world today, vaccines are still being administered to crying children in pediatricians’ offices en masse. So Glaxo still has that..

NBC News’ Brian Williams scored a major interview when he landed Edward Snowden.. the ads have been nonstop on all of the NBC stations for the event–it is an event and truly important that Americans get to see and hear what Snowden is about, and why he says he did what he did in revealing some of the deepest secrets from the spy underbelly .. On that same note, he apparently also told Brian Williams that he was not just a low-level contractor as the American media (and government) has previously said.. According to Snowden, he was trained as a spy and worked under cover for the US’s biggest alphabet agencies.. The wide-ranging interview will air on NBC Wednesday at 10pm. It should be something watched by the entire nation..x x x
I am not certain if I published this before, but I have become addicted over the past few months to a website written by Caleb Wilde, a Philadelphia-based mortician who mocks death and ads humor to the dying process.. He has written a new blog post about dealing with death and grief.. He argues that if you are going through rough straits, seeing your pastor should be secondary to seeing a therapist. A good read. And something sadly that every human on this planet will face or has faced already: Grief about death and losing someone close..

For those in the service industry (as I once was) .. here is a handy list if you’re a bar going drunkard: These are the things NOT to do or say at a bar .. and certainly a list of comments NOT to say to your bartender.. My personal favorite: Don’t hold your dollar up ..others have it too.
I never liked the bartender gig as much as I enjoyed serving tables in restaurants.. Male bartenders are treated differently than female.. I frankly think that bartenders are expected to be women, and when men see other males serving their drinks to them, the tips are much worse and the patrons leave much sooner. But on the flipside..x x x

The literal party on the grave site of 9/11 victims
I listened with some amazement to Clyde Lewis Friday night.. he had a very interesting take on his GROUND ZERO radio program concerning the controversy of the 9/11 gift shop–I am sure you heard about it by now..
There was something much more offensive that took place within the ‘hallowed’ halls of the museum than the gift shop selling chotchkies..
As Clyde Lewis writes on his page:
As the Gothamist reported, “The National 9/11 Museum opened to the public [May 21], with dozens of museum employees on hand to assist visitors through exhibits, numerous Red Cross workers and chaplains eager to help those who needed comfort… President Obama dedicated the museum last week in a special ceremony that was by invite only. There were mostly politicians and a few of the victim’s families in attendance.”
And, of course, select members of the media – which did not include that Gothamist reporter who was actually thrown out.
But those honored visitors were told to leave because only the VIPs, which included former Mayor Michael Bloomberg, were allowed back inside for a black-tie cocktail reception, the NY Daily news said. It is said later this summer there will be a family restaurant opening up in the facility.
The creepiness here is evident, the cocktail soiree was being held on the site where it is believed many of the victim’s remains are still buried and many people feel that it is also a bit sick to open a restaurant on the site.
The museum’s cocktail hour took place near the “remains repository,” where 8,000 unidentified body parts are being stored.
Now that it has opened to the public, there are mixed feelings about the museum. While some see it as a place where people can reflect on the tragedy, some see it as politically exploitative and not as dignifying as maybe a wall with names or a monument.
Again, our censored Gothamist reporter noted: “There’s a warning in front of the entrance, “The exhibition may not be appropriate for visitors 10 years old and younger. Adults accompanying younger visitors should exercise discretion before entering.””
Upon arrival, the scene is set up like a Halloween spook alley in a posh library. Scorched car doors, salvaged firefighters’ uniforms, banners, toys, and a destroyed fire engine are preserved forever and on display at the museum.Never knew of this party.. this sick, sick party..
A cocktail hour on the grave of 8,000 body parts..
There seems to be something very ghoulish about that choice, don’t you think? A little vampirish, perhaps?
The blood lust, the pain.. the suffering.. all beneath the feet of the elite and wealthy as they sip their champagne.
Their riches are thanks to the thousands dead.. A little more honor is due than a cocktail hour on top of a grave site..
Clyde Lewis goes on to write more,
For $64.00 you can purchase survival tree earrings and $39.00 gets you a hoodie emblazoned with an image of the towers. There is also a collectable [sic] cheese plate you can purchase as well.
Victims’ families didn’t ask for this, they didn’t expect their family members to be important deaths for eternity and have their remains in a containment hold piled behind a locked door in a museum that doubles as a mausoleum with an adjacent Shake Shack.Disturbed yet?
The full article *(and show*) from Clyde Lewis is worth the read and listen.
I would dare say, if you have any sense of morality, you’d be a little grossed about the goings on within the public building..
The remains of all of those body parts being at this location seems to be one of the worst decisions made..

THE HUNGER GAMES HITMAN
Here is the HUNGER GAMES htiman Elliot Rodger, extreme left, with his father, the assistant director of the film, Peter Rodger.. and to the right: Sylvester Stallone..
— Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown said that “it would appear as if” Elliot Rodger — the suspect in a deadly rampage near the University of California, Santa Barbara — “took his own life” after he was wounded by officers. Rodger was found “obviously dead” in a crashed car, after he allegedly killed six people and injured 13 others.— After leaving his residence Friday, Rodger apparently fatally shot two female students from the University of California, Santa Barbara, while a third person “suffered multiple gunshot” wounds, Brown told reporters. The suspect then went into a delicatessen, where he shot and killed another USCB student, Christopher Michael-Martinez, according to Brown.— In addition to the six victims and the dead suspect, 13 people “were injured during this melee,” Brown said. Eight of those suffered gunshot wounds, four were hit “by the suspect’s vehicle” and one has a “minor injury of unknown origin.”— The suspect “had over 400 remaining rounds of ammunition” when he was found “obviously dead” in his crashed car. Brown said that more people could have been killed if not for the actions of law enforcement.ELLIOT ROGERS APPEARS TO HAVE FATALLY STABBED THREE MALES BEFORE HIS SHOOTING RAMPAGE »

HUNGER GAMES in Santa Barbara shooting
Information about a mentally disturbed 22-year-old responsible for a mass shooting in the California city is now coming to light.. There is a bizarre angle of the story involving the movie HUNGER GAMES.. CNN reports this in recent dispatches about the shooting:
Based on what police told the family of Elliot Rodger, the parents believe he is the shooter, attorney Alan Shifman, a family spokesman, told reporters. He is the son of Peter Roger, who is identified as an assistant director of the 2012 film “The Hunger Games,” according to IMDb.com.
The younger Rodger died from a gunshot wound after his car crashed Friday night, police said. It was unclear whether the fatal head wound was self-inflicted or the result of a firefight with police.
A video has also been uploaded to YouTube by the would be killer .. Along the chilling statements, he says he is an alpha male and says he would take pleasure in hurting girls who denied his sexual advances
And this: The family of the killer warned cops prior to the deadly rampage but police simply high the was polite.. Meanwhile he was planning his slaughter of blonde women..

THE CASE OF EDWARD MORDRAKE: FACT OR FICTION?
Anything is possible.. even this?Some good Saturday reading for a cloudy day.. The curious case of Edward Mordrake.
That is supposedly an image of him. He also reportedly had a face on the back of his head that did not talk, but would laugh and cry.Also, this: He supposedly wanted doctors to remove the ‘demon face’ from the back of his head.. when they did not, it would keep him awake at night and finally he succumbed to suicide due to the extra face..
There is even a book in 1900 that supposedly documented all of this.
But is it true?
Could this just be one of those weird urban legends that never went away with time?
I came across this website, Verum Fabula, which attempts to figure out of this is truth or crap..
There is also debate on the SNOPES forums as to the real story behind this..It’s certainly medically feasible for it to be true.. but is it true?
Forgive me, but I would rarely want to trust a medical book from the 1900s…

BRYAN SINGER’S WEEKEND: 4,000 THEATERS STRONG, X-MEN TARGETING $100 MIL MEMORIAL DAY
Word is … ticket sales are already strong.. Robust.Are people holding their noses at Singer’s troubles.. or do they even know?
The big news this week was that Hugh Jackman’s bare rear end is in the film. And it’s interesting, perhaps, that bare rear ends are exactly what caught Singer in a spider web of sex scandal–and maybe sex crimes..
According to very early numbers, X-MEN garnered $8.1 mil in about 2,900 early theaters..
The movie may win the biggest opening of the year so far–and more than $100 million..

The Solway conclusion: Was the spaceman Templeton’s wife?
Could it be? An old mystery from last century solved? Will this finally put the story of the Solway Spaceman to rest? Logic and science and common sense solving one of the most famed UFO and paranormal photos of all time?We know this about the photo:
Jim Templeton took the image of his daughter in 1964. A strange white figure of a man who appeared to be in a space suit was visible behind her..According to the story, Templeton took the image to police.. they said it was nothing out of the ordinary. He sent it to Kodak, which reportedly said the image had not been altered or tampered with..And finally, according to lure, Men in Black, “Number 9” and “Number 11”
showed up and talked to Templeton about the photo.. One aspect of the story that I actually was not aware of is reported by the BBC:Perhaps the strangest turn of events was a link to the planned launch of a Blue Streak missile in Woomera, South Australia.Just days after Mr Templeton had taken his photograph, that missile test on the other side of the world was aborted by technicians who reported seeing two men in the firing range.That is a little creepy, perhaps. All of it is, really.The BBC has more, though, and interviewed an expert who attempts to finally solve this old mystery with a logical conclusion. Dr. David Clarke met the Templetons, the BBC says.. Also this: Clarke does not think the image is a hoax or purposely fake. Instead, he thinks the spaceman is actually Templeton’s wife..“I came away absolutely convinced he was telling the truth and couldn’t explain it himself, although I was less convinced about his ‘Men in Black’ story. Whoever it was who visited him, I don’t think they were from the government.”However, the spaceman, Dr Clarke says, is almost certainly not anything of the sort.“One of the other stills [taken that day] shows Jim’s wife who, according to him, was standing behind him when he took the photo of Elizabeth,” he said.“I think for some reason his wife walked into the shot and he didn’t see her because with that particular make of camera you could only see 70% of what was in the shot through the viewfinder.”Annie, he argues, was standing with her back to the camera and the photograph was over-exposed – causing her blue dress to look white.Whatever the truth, for Dr Clarke it is a reminder of a more “innocent time” and he is in no doubt about its importance.Could that be it? A simply solution to the story.. An ending to what has been a part of UFO lure for decades? Just a woman in a white dress.. over-exposed in color and a product of an early came in an innocent time..Interesting way to conclude it all..
Are you with Dr. Clarke? Are you of the opinion that this is solved, over and done? Or do you still think that aborted missile launch had something to do with the spaceman.. and that Number 9 and 11 were on to something other-worldly or even alternate worldly..?Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
As is the Solway Spaceman.
