    Casey Hathaway, 3, Found Alive 2 Days After He Vanished from His Family’s Yard in North Carolina

    Casey Hathaway, the 3-year-old boy who went missing earlier this week from his grandmother’s yard in North Carolina, has been found alive.


    Hathaway was found on Thursday night by a professional search and rescue team in Craven County, Shelley Lynch, a spokesperson for the FBI Charlotte field office, said in a news release.

    Breanna Hathaway, who identified herself in a Facebook post as Hathaway’s aunt, also confirmed the discovery of her nephew on the social media site.

    But the money quote that perhaps raises the biggest eyebrow of all: 

    “Casey is healthy, smiling, and talking. He said he hung out with a bear for two days God sent him a friend to keep him safe,” she wrote. “God is good God. Miracles do happen”

    COMICALLY INCORRECT!? Bill Maher lashes out at STAN LEE and comic book fans!

    BILL MAHER, fresh off of hiatus, roared back on Friday night to HBO with comments that are insulting comic books fans everywhere!

    [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgInmHHO0m4]

    “Tonight’s editorial is about Stan Lee who, if you missed it, died in November,” Maher explained. “And a few days later, I posted a blog that in no way was an attack on Mr. Lee, but took the occasion of his death to express my dismay at people who think comic books are literature and superhero movies are great cinema and who, in general, are stuck in an everlasting childhood. Bragging that you’re all about the Marvel Universe is like boasting your mother still pins your mittens to your sleeves.”

    “You can, if you want, like the exact same things you liked when you were ten but if you do, you need to grow up,” said Maher. “That was the point of my blog. I’m not glad Stan Lee is dead, I’m sad you’re alive. By the way, if someone says you’re being childish and you react by throwing a tantrum, you’re not Iron Man — you’re Irony Man. Let me tell you, people were pissed about this post, I wasn’t even aware I ruffled so many capes until I saw that forty thousand Twitter followers unfollowed me like that [snaps], to which I say ‘Good riddance, go follow Yogi Bear.’”

    “Director Kevin Smith accused me of “taking a shot when no shots are f**kin’ necessary,” except again my shot wasn’t at Stan Lee. It was at, you know, grown men who still dress like kids,” Maher said as he showed a picture of Smith wearing a branded hockey jersey.”

    “Can we stop pretending that the writing in comic books is so good?” he continued. “Oh, please. Every superhero movie is the same thing — a person who doesn’t have powers, gets them, has to figure out how they work, and then has to find a glory thing. Justice League, glowy thing. Iron Man, glowy thing. Spider-Man, glory thing. Captain America, glowy thing.”

    “I’m sorry, but if you’re an adult playing with superhero dolls, I’m sorry — I mean collectible action figures — why not go all the way and drive to work on a Big Wheel?” Maher said while showing pictures of various social media posts. “Grown-ups these days cling so desperately to their childhood that when they do attempt to act their age, they have a special word for it now: adulting.”

  • DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR?

    DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR?

    A few days ago there were various news reports that scientists gained an ability to transmit a sound to someone without devices.. without anyone else hearing it.. It would just appear INSIDE YOUR HEAD..

    In a paper published on Friday in the journal Optics Letters, the MIT team describes how it developed two different methods to transmit tones, music, and recorded speech via a laser.

    Getting into the details of how this is happening: For one of their methods, the researchers “swept” a laser beam at the speed of sound, changing the length of the sweeps to encode different audible pitches.

    This technique allowed them to transmit sound to a person more than 8.2 feet away at a volume of 60 decibels — about the loudness of background music or a conversation in a restaurant — without anyone between the source of the sound and the target hearing it.

    For the other method, they encoded an audio message by adjusting a laser beam’s power. They said this technique produced a quieter but clearer result.

    This entire news event has brought up some memories of distant paranoia.. Remember those old MKULTRA allegations? People who said that noises or thoughts were beamed directly into their unsuspecting heads?

    X X X X 
    This is also NOT the first time this ability has become known..

    Dateline early 2018: Non-lethal yet still horribly unpleasant weapons are all the rage these days, from puke rays to pink tasers. What’s the next step? How about a beam that inserts voices into your head? Yes, you could be minding your own business looting a Best Buy during a riot and all of the sudden there’s a voice coming from inside your own brain saying “We’re really disappointed with you.” Enter the SCHIZO BEAM..

    Traveling WAY BACK into the machine to 2007, this little tidbit of conspiracy was published by WIRED:

    Now the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is jumping on the bandwagon with their new “Sonic Projector” program:  The goal of the Sonic Projector program is to provide Special Forces with a method of surreptitious audio communication at distances over 1 km. Sonic Projector technology is based on the non-linear interaction of sound in air translating an ultrasonic signal into audible sound. The Sonic Projector will be designed to be a man-deployable system, using high power acoustic transducer technology and signal processing algorithms which result in no, or unintelligible, sound everywhere but at the intended target. The Sonic Projector system could be used to conceal communications for special operations forces and hostage rescue missions, and to disrupt enemy activities.

    Clyde Lewis intelligently opined, 


    Today, however, this presumption might no longer hold. Sophisticated neuroimaging machines and brain-computer interfaces detect the electrical activity of neurons, enabling us to decode and even alter the nervous system signals that accompany mental processes. Whereas these advances have a great potential for research and medicine, they pose a fundamental ethical, legal and social challenge: determining whether or under what conditions it is legitimate to gain access to or interfere with another person’s neural activity. 

    This question has special social relevance because many neurotechnologies have moved away from a medical setting and into the commercial domain. Attempts to decode mental information via imaging are also occurring in court cases, sometimes in a scientifically questionable way. 

    The danger is in the fact that these newer “stealth” technologies could be used at any time – and the person being targeted would not even know they were being targeted.
    This technology could potentially be used against people who object to mandatory vaccination, medical kidnapping, the nationalization of our private health data, the use of toxic chemicals in food, mandatory indoctrination of children in the public education system, mainstream media brainwashing, the collection of information about our religious and political beliefs, the denial of the right to assemble in peaceful protests against the overreaching power of national and state government, to name just a few.
    Brain-reading technology can be seen as just another unavoidable trend that erodes a bit more of our personal space in the digital world. But given the sanctity of our mental privacy, we might not be so willing to accept this intrusion. People could, in fact, look at this technology as something that requires the reconceptualization of basic human rights and even the creation of neurospecific rights. 

    I am sure that if there is any reason to create an addendum to the fourth amendment it would be to detail neurospecific rights. We would have to add that beyond unlawful search and seizure of your effects we would have to declare that any and all neurosearches or mental controlling for interrogation or for any reason should be declared unconstitutional.

    The future is now. Or was it then?
    When did we get the ability to beam me up Scotty.. or at least hear SCOTTY being told to beam up?

    Ghostbusters has a July 10, 2020, release date, and Morbius — starring Jared Leto and based on Marvel’s vampire antihero — will come out three weeks later July 31. The July 10 date had been earmarked for a Marvel pic, which turns out was Morbius. Both films have their respective opening weekends to themselves for now.

    RONDA ROUSEY TELLS THE WWE THAT IT’S HER LIFE AND HER VAGINA!

    Raw Women’s champion Ronda Rousey commented Friday on rumors that she may leave WWE following WrestleMania 35 in April to start a family. ‘

    According to ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne, Rousey took exception with those who are speculating on her desire to have children: “I honestly don’t know why [anyone] feels [they’re] an authority to speak on plans for my uterus. It’s my vagina, my life, keep the speculations to yourself. Leave me and my reproductive organs alone.”

    For now, Rousey is still the Raw Women’s champion, and she is set to defend the title against Sasha Banks at the Royal Rumble on Sunday.

    Rousey is widely expected to retain before going on to face one or both of Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch at WrestleMania.

  • Sad songs.. sad songs: Music has gotten increasingly sad and angry

    Sad songs.. sad songs: Music has gotten increasingly sad and angry

    This according to a new study..

    Image result for angry music

    The US study team looked at lyrics of more than 6,000 songs from Billboard Hot 100 in each year.

    Researchers analysed lyrics in best-selling songs from the 1950s to 2016 to find expressions of anger and sadness had increased, while words about joy had dropped.

    The analysis showed the expression of anger in popular music lyrics has increased gradually over time.
    Study co-author Lior Shamir, of Lawrence Technological University in Michigan, said: ‘The change in lyrics sentiments does not necessarily reflect what the musicians and songwriters wanted to express, but is more related to what music consumers wanted to listen to in each year.’ Songs released during the mid 1950s were the least angry and the anger expressed in lyrics has increased gradually until peaking in 2015.
    The analysis also revealed some variations with songs released between 1982 and 984 being less angry compared to any other period, except for the 1950s.
    In the mid 1990s, songs became angrier and the increase in anger was sharper during that time in comparison to previous years.
    The expression of sadness, disgust and fear also increased over time, although the increase was milder compared to the increase in the expression of anger.
    Disgust increased gradually, but was lower in the early 1980s and higher in the mid and late 1990s.
    Popular music lyrics expressed more fear during the mid 1980s and the fear decreased sharply in 1988.

    Kathleen Napier and Lior Shamir conducted research on the emotions in songs since the 1950s. Napier, a graduate student and Shamir, a professor at Lawrence Technological University, concluded that songs have gotten angrier over the years….
    Napier and Shamir’s analysis was accepted for publication in the Journal of Popular Music Studies, an academic journal published by the University of California. It is included in the December 2018 issue at http://jpms.ucpress.edu/content/30/4/161.

    DO we consume what we are…? Do we create the reality that we live in?
    Fear and loathing is not confined to LA.. it’s earthly at this point.

    And sadly sine 1988–back when Communism was busy falling and a new tech age was emerging, we seemingly got fearful .. got sad.. got angry?

    NIRVANA summed that up for us best in the 90s when Kurt Cobain killed the 80s before he killed himself..

    And since then?
    9/11… disease…hate.. division.. sowing the seeds for future music that will only get angrier than the music of our age!

    The only hope may be A I making songs for us..
    …..but will AI be happy?

    Perhaps going back to the 1930s and changing the MEGAHERTZ that the Nazis created would be a good place to start.

  • MICHAEL JACKSON SEX CLAIMS SHOCK SUNDANCE!

    MICHAEL JACKSON SEX CLAIMS SHOCK SUNDANCE!

    FROM AN AP REPORT ON THE MOVIE THAT IS ROCKING NEVERLAND

    It’s not uncommon for audiences at the Sundance Film Festival to give standing ovations, but the ceremonial act took on a solemn air as two men who accuse Michael Jackson of molesting them as boys walked onstage following the festival’s only screening of “Leaving Neverland,” a documentary about their stories

    Wade Robson, who says Jackson abused him from ages 7 to 14, and James Safechuck came forward as adults with their abuse allegations after Jackson’s death in 2009.
    The four-hour film, which will air in two parts on Britain’s Channel 4 and HBO this spring, is a sprawling account of how their lives intersected with Jackson’s at the height of his fame in the 80s and early 90s, and then later as adults when the trauma of what happened in their youth started to emerge in serious ways 

    In addition to accounts from Robson and Safechuck themselves, the film also interviews family members including the boys’ mothers, wives and Robson’s brother and sister. Jackson’s voice is heard in the film, through voicemails he left for Robson and an “interview” Safechuck did with Jackson aboard his private plane, and the film also shows some of the many faxes he sent to Robson. 

    “We can’t change what happened to us. And we can’t do anything about Michael,” Robson said in a Q&A with the audience. But he said he hopes it makes other survivors feel less isolated and raises awareness for anyone who is responsible for children.

  • Scientists drill deepest hole ever in Antarctica

    Scientists drill deepest hole ever in Antarctica

    Scientists have been planning the project, called BEAMISH (Bed Access, Monitoring and Ice Sheet History), for the past 20 years. On Jan. 8, after 63 hours of continuous drilling using a hot-water drill (a large tool that melts the ice), they broke through the base of the Rutford Ice Stream in West Antarctica.

    The team reached a depth of 7,060 feet (2,152 meters) and threaded instruments through the hole to record water pressure and ice temperature, and to measure how much the ice has deformed.
    By drilling down deep, the team hopes to find out how long ago the Antarctic ice sheet last disappeared and how water and sediments may be nudging the ice toward the sea, according to the project’s webpage.

    The team drilled a second hole on Jan. 22, and the project is expected to continue until mid-February.
