    EASTER HELL

    After al Shabaab gunmen massacred nearly 150 people at a Kenyan university on Thursday, singling out Christians for point-blank executions, churches in Kenya are turning to armed guards to protect their Easter Sunday congregations »

    Christians who make up 83 percent of the population of 44 million in Kenya.. This Easter Sunday they are horrified to have to worship surrounded by signs of warfare.. modern hate.. the emergence of violence in their nation stunned their souls.

    Shabab threatened to make Kenyan cities turn red with blood.. The attack on the school last week was a victory for terror.. Easter Sunday armed guards is a continuation of that win.

    Edith Honan with REUTERS reports:

    Kenya has imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew in four crime-ridden counties along its porous 700km border with Somalia, while helicopters were deployed along its palm-fringed coastal region popular with Western tourists.

    Robert Kitur, the coastal region police chief, told Reuters extra uniformed and plain-clothes police officers have been deployed in the area, where Islamists have carried out attacks in the past.

    “It is a delicate period but we have put the best possible surveillance,” he said. “What happened in Garissa must never be seen in Mombasa or anywhere else in the region and country.”

    The al Qaeda-aligned al Shabaab said the Garissa assault was punishment to Kenya for sending troops into Somalia to fight the group alongside other African Union peacekeepers.

    Late on Saturday, 613 students and 50 staff from Garissa University College arrived by bus in Nairobi, where they were welcomed by sobbing parents and relatives. Parents of missing children were at the city’s mortuary, trying to identify the dead.

    It was the most deadly attack on Kenyan soil since al Qaeda in 1998 bombed the U.S. embassy in Nairobi, killing more than 200 people and wounding thousands of others. 

    The attack has put further strain on the historically cordial relations between Kenya’s Christian and Muslim communities, which have deteriorated in recent years due to frequent Islamist attacks on Christian priests and churches.

    THE EASTER VIGIL, 2015

    It is seeking a deeper meaning, an answer, and not an easy one, to the questions which challenge our faith, our fidelity and our very existence

    We need … the humility not to take ourselves so seriously, recognizing who we really are: Creatures with strengths and weaknesses, sinners in need of forgiveness

    To enter into the mystery means going beyond our own comfort zone, beyond the laziness and indifference which hold us back, and going out in search of truth, beauty and love

  • A tale of two lawns

    A tale of two lawns

     

    ADAM NAGOURNEY, JACK HEALY and NELSON D. SCHWARTZ  all write in the NEW YORK TIMES that the California dream may be over..  Not with a bang. But a dought..

    READ THE FULL ARTICLE HERE..

    I think for me the most striking of images: The green grass around homes and golf courses, juxtaposed to dry land directly next to it.

    Meanwhile, some welcome rain is coming to CALI and residents are urged to save the rainwater. It will not be enough to end the drought.. Over 90% of the state is in a severe drought. The clock is ticking on the return of the dry season to the west..

  • NOT SO STELLAR

    NOT SO STELLAR

    After so many plans to go to the theater, and then REDBOX the movie Interstellar, I finally had the opportunity do watch it last night. My verdict isn’t so kind.. I actually didn’t like it nearly as much as I 1) expected to and 2) wanted to. There are some amazing parts, don’t get me wrong. The idea of time travel and inter dimensional communication fascinates me and, quite honestly, may be possible.. CERN could tell us that soon. But as a movie, it missed a few marks I wanted it to hit. I cheered for it.. I supported it.. But in the end, I felt let down by a somewhat empty string of dialogue and some forced emotions that didn’t seem natural with the actors involved.

    I won’t spoil anything .. There’s a slight chance that at least one or two people have yet to view the film..

    I give the movie a 4 out of 10. Sorry.

    But I do give Anne Hathaway’s haircut a 9 out of 10, though she looked a little like a young Leonard Nimoy, and I’ll kindly rate Matthew McConaughey’s new face a 10. Except his eyebrows, which at times looked glued on.

    Maybe that’s what inter dimensional space travel does to a face and a hairstyle.

  • ART BELL: WE HAVE A CONTRACT…but…

    ART BELL: WE HAVE A CONTRACT…but…

    For weeks, Art Bell has been telling fans on BELLGAB that a contract to return to the air was forthcoming. Today he posted a brief sort-of announcement on site here:

    Ok, we have a contract but as expected there are some things in there that require some re-wording and one item that would be a deal breaker if left as is. We also have possibly another way to go if
    need be.

    Because we are at a sensitive part of all this you may not hear from me till we come to some conclusion on Monday or we hope no later then Tuesday (my estimates)

    I did have a email exchange with Dave which he started and which will reamain private, even the exchange itself should have remained private, oh well.

    Art

    Bell’s comment referring to ‘Dave’ is about a George Noory hosted open lines Coast to Coast AM last night. A caller asked if Bell was returning to Coast, Noory responded no, but elaborated that an email exchange, or several of them, has recently taken place between the two hosts. Noory wouldn’t say anything else regarding the conversation, but the buzz of it lit up the BELLGAB exchange today. Bell seemingly thinks the conversation between them should have stayed private–even the fact they had one.

  • THE RISE OF THE BLOOD MOON

    THE RISE OF THE BLOOD MOON

    Iran deals..

    Nuke threats..
    Russian advances..
    Blood moon Easter weekends..

    This is the big moment–the time many prophecy speakers and doomsayers have warned us about. The rise of the blood moon takes place Friday night and Saturday morning and Easter weekend begins..

    Many say that blood moons make for dangerous times..
    And this blood moon this day will also be eclipsed..

    The best view: The western third of the U.S. will get to see a total eclipse, while people in the central and eastern U.S. will only see a partial eclipse before the moon sets as daylight takes over..

    The next blood moon comes in September..

    Between now and then we will see how bad things get.
    Or .. same as they ever were.

  • PASTA POWER POPE: FATTY FATCIS TOLD TO LAY OFF THE CARBS

    PASTA POWER POPE: FATTY FATCIS TOLD TO LAY OFF THE CARBS

    The Pope’s expansive popularity has led to an expanding waistline.. Perhaps all of the free pizza deliveries to the Pope mobile.. Maybe some hardcore heavy pasta dinners have drained the Pontiff of the svelte appearance he when he first became the leader of the Catholic flock..

    The AFP is one of the sources behind this breaking news story.. Angus MacKinnon, a reporter with the agency, filed his heavy-hitting dispatch on the Francis weight gain: 

    Pizza-loving Pope Francis has been told to cut down and exercise more, reports said Thursday as the pontiff made the latest in a string of allusions to feeling weary.

     The 78-year-old pontiff is visibly chubbier these days than he was when he lived in Argentina and was known for a frugal lifestyle and walking as much as he could.

    Since being elected he has made several enigmatic remarks suggesting he does not expect to be pope for longer than a few years, triggering speculation about possible health issues.

    The latest came in a pre-Easter mass on Thursday, when he talked about the physically and emotionally exhausting nature of the work of a parish priest.

    The Pope has a slight limp that got worse.. heavy food has led him to feel more tired. His high fat and high carb diet has led him to have a much more robust waist when seen in public.. Undoubtedly the frock has been frilled and had to be enlarged a bit over the past year..

    Pope Fat-cis has been a nickname bantered about since this story broke..
    People must want a thin pope..

    I for one am perfectly fine with a Pope who lives his life enjoying food–carby food, too..

    But he better watch out or the seat in the Pope Mobile will have to be expanded.. Airlines will start charging him for two people.. And his vestments will be stretched as his body gets bigger.

    He’s bigger than life already. He may as well just be bigger.

    This weekend: Easter. And ham. Lots of ham.

  • QUAINT LITTLE PLACES.. DEGENERATING EVERY DAY

    QUAINT LITTLE PLACES.. DEGENERATING EVERY DAY

    There is a troubling trend in the United States–the trend of a degenerating infrastructure and disinterest from anyone trying to fix it..

    I am amazed looking at historical photos.. those “old days” and times gone by are often littered with symbols of class and money–trains running on time and people dressed well at storefronts that were occupying buildings in small town America. Fast forward to today: Ruins.. Artifacts still remain. Reminders that old style transportation once existed ..  Empty stores, falling down most of the time, becoming just dust and rubble as time goes on.

    This is the new America..
    A time when nothing is being built.. nothing is being celebrated..

    Roads and street corners are becoming ghastly..
    Potholes are nothing compared to the once mighty structures separating apart and becoming death traps for anyone who tries to visit..

    The new America is watching the old America die. But we aren’t do anything to create the future. Instead most towns and small rural areas are just hopeless and sad, grungy and gritty.. Joblessness is furthered by the end of many traditional career choices for those without college or connections..

    We are rapidly falling behind the world..
    For many hopeless hamlets, there’s no turning around now.

  • The April fools abound

    The April fools abound

    The April Fool’s Joke needs to stop

    I am happy April fool’s day is almost. Since childhood, I hated the day. The fake humor.. the not so clever jokes.. the phony nonsense that people think is laughable but instead it just an annoyance..

    But recently, really with the internet, I avoid news in general on April fools. Because everyone wants to get into this act of outdoing each other.. real news agencies report false stories, for fun.. Real outlets of information think they are being more clever than the next guy..

    Instead, things like this can happen: Shareholders can get very angry.

    I love humor. When it’s funny.
    I like jokes, when they are meaningful..
    I really like comedy. When it is done right.

    The people who don’t do it right are the ones who incessantly try to do it on April Fools.. a day that just should go away for good.

    And that is why I love the sarcastic humor of this video:

    Don’t Hug Me 4 out

     

    It’s a little clunky compared to the previous videos.. a little sloppier. But the style and message stays the same: Mental anarchy ensues.. This time, the message is about the dangers of the internet’s virtual world destroying our lives..

  • Thumbing through Megan Fox’s new interview

    Thumbing through Megan Fox’s new interview

    Megan Fox releases the thumbs!!
    She knows you don’t think she’s smart.. But there’s lot of reasons she doesn’t really care..

    From her BAZAAR interview, snippets worth thumbing through:

    I would say most people assume that I’m not very smart or educated or earnest, because I have this image that I’m sort of narcissistic, chasing attention, and wanting people to like me,” she says. “It makes me laugh because I’ve done plenty of interviews and when you read the article from beginning to end you can see that I’m not your typical music video model.

    And this

    In Transformers I was a kid, I had no idea what I was doing. There was nothing for me to do [in that movie], but then I did nothing and that was my own call. 

    On the charge she was eye candy in TRANSFORMERS:

    I don’t take it personally because in some ways I acknowledge and agree. But at the same time, both established comedians and Quentin Tarantino have come up to me and said, ‘I really liked Jennifer’s Body, you were really good in that.’ The people whose opinions matter liked it, so I’m okay with that.
