    Websites of chaos

    News today.. TWITTER purged more than 70,000 accounts affiliated with QAnon… That’s quite a bit.

    We already know that included with that purge was the President himself.. While the decision to purge some extreme accounts has been applauded, others like Jim Cramer are noting how little they suddenly check Twitter. How … un-exciting it has become to just go to the site for sports scores again. Trump, Cramer said, was the draw. Without him the site will need to find another star–and their stocks did tumble.

    Since Twitter’s purge, Parler was shut down by app stores and eventually Amazon decided who gets to be on their vast internet servers. Again, applauded but a few, just a very few, are shocked that Jeff Bezos has that much power!

    And since this big ‘cleaning’ online, the following has happened:
    Rumors have persisted and rapidly been sent around the world that 1) the Pope was arrested during a blackout this weekend, 2) The Italian Prime Minister is in jail, 3) ATM machines all over the nation are not working and 4) Bible ‘experts’ all over were posting videos that they were given secret messages about the end times coming.

    Additionally, upcoming dates in January of armed mass protests were being planned, just as Congress plans the Impeachment sequel, almost a spinoff series at this point of the Trump Reality Show.

    So with all of these dangerous accounts gone, it seemingly became even more increasingly easy to spread misinformation for fun.

    I get the sense of quite a few users at 4CHAN having a blast with spreading the website “the conservative beaver” about the Pope’s indictment that your grandparents most likely have spread to their friends on Facebook..

    THE SCARY SIDE OF MAYHEM

    Parler was reportedly being used to help assist in planning chaos.. As a result, effectively all other businesses shut them down. There will undoubtedly be antitrust suits and allegations of corporate monopoly, but somehow life started to move so fast since 2021 began, it is difficult to keep up. And it makes you look old fashioned not to join along..

    Just a few news clips on Parler before proceeding:

    Meanwhile.. this from the FBI: All 50 states need to prepare for mass chaos. That’s right, all 50. Every capitol.. ABC says they obtained the memo and printed it for the world–but still no official in person press conference or statement from anyone in the FBI:

    The FBI has also received information in recent days on a group calling for “storming” state, local and federal government courthouses and administrative buildings in the event President Donald Trump is removed from office prior to Inauguration Day. The group is also planning to “storm” government offices in every state the day President-elect Joe Biden will be inaugurated, regardless of whether the states certified electoral votes for Biden or Trump.

    “The FBI received information about an identified armed group intending to travel to Washington, DC on 16 January,” the bulletin read. “They have warned that if Congress attempts to remove POTUS via the 25th Amendment, a huge uprising will occur.”

    Washington has suddenly become tense since January 6. The newest memo has added misery to the discomfort..

    The abrupt resignation of Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf added to the mounting tension in Washington ahead of President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration next week.. Wolf announced that “the evolving security landscape” had led to a decision to begin security for the inauguration on Jan. 13. The efforts were originally scheduled to begin on Jan. 19…

    ONLY HOURS TO GO UNTIL THE END OF THE TRUMP SHOW.. PEOPLE SUDDENLY ON PINS AND NEEDLES OVER WHAT THE CLIMACTIC SERIES FINALE WILL INCLUDE..

  • COVID goes for the throat

    COVID goes for the throat

    The U.S. has reported 278,920 new COVID-19 cases today, making it the record for most cases reported in a single day.

    The previous record?? YESTERDAY..

    x x x

    A new study showcasing the complicated nature of spread: At least 50% of new coronavirus infections are spread from people without symptoms..

    People who are asymptomatic or never experience symptoms made up about 24% of all transmissions, while presymptomatic individuals accounted for 35% for a total of 59%, researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found.

    Meanwhile, on that new scary Yorkshire strain: The mutant coronavirus strain ripping through the country is more contagious because it replicates in the throat, scientists have said…

    Meanwhile, other headlines:

    One further detail on the story showcasing symptoms still occurring after 6 months–that one is troubling. These have been previous called the COVID longhaulers..

    More than three quarters of coronavirus patients have at least one ongoing symptom six months after initially becoming unwell, according to a new study.

    The research looked at the long-term effects of Covid-19 on people admitted to hospital in Wuhan, China, and found that the most common symptom to persist is fatigue or muscle weakness, in 63% of patients.

    Patients also frequently experience sleep difficulties (26%), and anxiety or depression was reported among 23% of patients, according to the study.

    Researchers found patients who were severely ill in hospital more often had impaired lung function and abnormalities detected in chest imaging – which could indicate organ damage – six months after symptom onset.

    Post insurrection: Impeachment, national secrets, and Republican mutiny

    If you rested for a mere few hours this week, you couldn’t keep up with it. The last time I looked at Steve Lookner, his bloodshot eyes were giving out from endless hours of broadcasting online!

    The mayhem that ensued during the Battle of the Don was the only thing on the nation’s (and world’s) mind since January 6 when the Capitol Hill mob attacked Washington DC..

    Since then, countless MAGA supporters, including the man who sat in Nancy Pelosi’s office and the other who cheerfully stole her podium, have been arrested.

    Donald Trump has been removed from Twitter for the rest of his life. Thousands of other accounts related to QANAN have been purged. Google, Apple, and now Amazon have deplatformed Parler after a number of posts were made on that site showcasing attempts to organize further mass violence.

    A few points of information necessary for consideration:

    CNN reporting that the pro-Trump riot was more violent than it first seemed.

    There was so much news that it was hard to process: Reports of explosive devices, an armed standoff, a shooting and evacuations. Viewers were able to see some of it with their own eyes, but most of the information was secondhand, from tweets and phone calls and emailed dispatches from congressional reporters, many of them locked in the Capitol..

    Only later did it become clear that lawmakers feared for their lives; that some of the attackers were hunting for congressional leaders; that there could have been a massacre.

    And hunting Mike Pence, the Vice President?

    Several have pondered whether Trump’s words in his January 6 speech to his followers was meant to create a hostile coup and a dangerous plot to murder his own vice President! Immediately as the violence began, Pence was ushered out and hidden for safety..

    An extremely important and remarkable Twitter thread from Seth Abramson not only documents some important moment’s from Trump’s speech that professors will study for decades to come, but how some of the anger was purposely directed at Pence for the crowd to get hidden messages..

    https://twitter.com/sethabramson/status/1347908845281095680?s=21&fbclid=IwAR3MYKrraGnoey_Zt7hvOyKgYskXLUyU-_IB8gwUwESjV0jOxAvu1ySfdu4

    The Department of Justice is warning that national secrets may have been stolen by MAGA..

    Senator Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) said at least one laptop had been stolen from his offices, while another protester was seen brandishing Pelosi’s mail outside the Capitol in the aftermath.

    The Senate Parliamentarian’s office was ripped apart by the rabble, with footage showing the floor of her rooms covered in files taken from drawers and cabinets.

    “I do think the President committed impeachable offenses,” Toomey told Fox News. The senator, who has said he is not going to run for reelection in 2022, would not say whether he would vote to impeach Trump should there be a Senate trial, saying he is not certain what kind of articles of impeachment would be passed by the Democrat-led House of Representatives.

    Toomey said he believes Trump’s “behavior this week does disqualify him from serving. But we’ve got 10 days left, 11 days left.””I don’t know whether logistically it’s actually really even possible or practical and I’m not sure it’s desirable to attempt to force him out, what a day or two or three prior to the day on which he’s going to be finished anyway,” Toomey said. “So I’m not clear that’s the best path forward.”

  • The Trumps disco to GLORIA prior to the battle of the Don

    The Trumps disco to GLORIA prior to the battle of the Don

    Just prior to President Donald Trump inspiring a crowd to trash the United States Capitol building in Washington DC, Donald Trump Junior videotaped the family disco dancing and partying while the song Gloria blasted in a tent.

    The family and Trump associates appeared to be conducting a watch party, it would appear the video was prior to trumps speech but not clear.

    The president himself is seen near the end of the video swinging what appears to be a red boxing glove while watching the crowd on the television.

    Meanwhile, concerning the use of the song Gloria, this from the estate of Laura Brannigan:

  • About deep face

    About deep face

    President president Donald Trump tonight has posted a bizarre video on his Twitter account, 12 hours after his initial ban in relation to the violence on Capitol Hill yesterday.

    The video appears to show the president conciliatory about the violence, Even stating he called in the National Guard immediately. Something that is probably debatable..

    The typical debate ensued sued. Pro-Trumpers saying that he should go to Parlor, while the anti-Trump crowd serenading him a goodbye. .

    But a few others hypothesized something else. Some thing dare we say conspiratorial? The strange imagery of the video seemed bizarre, it looked pixelated, and at points trumps mouth did not even seem to match the words that were coming out..

    We have been told how easy deep deep fakes are to make, perhaps easier now than ever before we are told…

    And this video was not live. Just taped.

    He was tanned. Rested.

    No pixelated. At least according to some.

  • The Battle of the Don: Meet the Monsters on Capitol St

    The Battle of the Don: Meet the Monsters on Capitol St

    1/6/21 will be a new day of infamy..
    Some will defend it, some will say it was ANTIFA..
    Others will call it insurrection and treachery.

    Senator Tammy Duckworth, a Democrat from Illinois, told CBS News that a Senate staffer managed to secure the wooden chests containing the Electoral College certificates before senators were evacuated from the Senate chamber.

    Before the violence began a the Capitol, the President addressed a crowd of faithful at a “Stop the Steal” rally in DC that the media was at fault, that the election was stolen, and it was time to fight…

    Minutes later, as Trump went into his secure limo despite saying he would tell his supporters he would “walk down” with them, MAGA supporters began to break through police lines as storm the United States Capitol building.

    Images that graced us today included Trump supporters taking over the halls of Congress, sitting in the Speaker’s chair and posting for a photo, and even sitting in the offices of Congresspersons and rummaging through their paperwork.

    Among the harrowing moments: People scaling walls, a shooting, the floor of the Congress being attacked and guarded by a few armed security officials…

    Twitter deleted a pre-taped video of Trump telling people to “go home” and subsequently suspended Trump’s account for 12 hours.. many called for a deletion and more..

    While the Capitol was cleared late in the day of protesters, images of gallows erected near the building have become showcased online..

    For some, it feels like a new 9/11, a moment when the nation is shaken to its core..

    Gerald Seib writes,

    Never in recent memory have the events of a single 24-hour period so shaken two presidencies, the very Capitol of the United States and the nation itself as they did on Wednesday.

    The effects will ripple out for years to come, and the full consequences will be left for historians to sort out. It seems likely, though, that the chances that other Republicans will see Mr. Trump as the leader of their party after he leaves office have been diminished significantly. As Mr. Trump himself tried to remind his supporters after violence broke out, Republicans like to be seen as the party of law and order, and that is hardly the image he is now projecting.


    WE will all have to come to grips with this moment in time.. and with time comes perspective. While so many are quick to have an immediate reaction to moments in real time, at unique historical point like this, it is better to refrain from comment and final judgement.. as the historical events have yet to change and end.

    Joe Biden has been officially named the President Elect as of 4am today. But will he be the 46th president? Or 47th?

    Moments in time captured by screenshot and photographic evidence of anarchy at the nation’s capitol. The world watched, by the way. THAT should be as scary as what we saw yesterday.

  • 2017: A space odyssey!

    2017: A space odyssey!

    As we turn the page from the hellish year of 2020 to 2021, let’s go back in time to a seemingly better moment, at least by some accounts: 2017..

    Traveling back into amnesia lane, let’s look at what we said on November 23, 2017, the first time that we ever mentioned Oumuamua:

    An interstellar interloper is dashing through our solar system MORE: “This thing is an oddball,” said Karen Meech from the University of Hawaii’s Institute for Astronomy, leader of an international team studying ‘Oumuamua. “What we found was a rapidly rotating object, at least the size of a football field, that changed in brightness quite dramatically. This change in brightness hints that ‘Oumuamua could be more than 10 times longer than it is wide — something which has never been seen in our own solar system.”..Some astronomors now seriously wondering if Oumuamua is a spaceship!Artificial lights are eating away natural darkness on the planet Earth..

    A year later in December 2018, we reported how some scientists said that it could be an alien craft:

    Now a pair of Harvard researchers are raising the possibility that Oumuamua is an alien spacecraft. As they say in a paper to be published Nov. 12 in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, the object “may be a fully operational probe sent intentionally to Earth vicinity by an alien civilization.”

    On November 5, 2018, NBC news reported this:

    “It is impossible to guess the purpose behind ‘Oumuamua without more data,” Avi Loeb, chairman of Harvard’s astronomy department and a co-author of the paper, told NBC News MACH in an email. If ‘Oumuamua is a lightsail, he added, one possibility is that it was floating in interstellar space when our solar system ran into it, “like a ship bumping into a buoy on the surface of the ocean.”

    And now, Avi Loeb wrote a book about Oumuamua.. He said aliens visited us in 2017, and more are on the way!

    The New York POST is among those reporting:

    In his upcoming book, “Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth” (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt), out Jan. 26, the professor lays out a compelling case for why an object that recently wandered into our solar system was not just another rock but actually a piece of alien technology. 

    AND THIS:

    At first, scientists thought it was an ordinary comet. But Loeb said that assumption ran the risk of allowing “the familiar to define what we might discover.” 

    “What would happen if a caveman saw a cellphone?” he asked. “He’s seen rocks all his life, and he would have thought it was just a shiny rock.” 

    “This would make ‘Oumuamua’s geometry more extreme by at least a few times in aspect ratio — or its width to its height — than the most extreme asteroids or comets that we have ever seen,” Loeb writes in his book. What’s more, ‘Oumuamua was unusually bright. It was at least “ten times more reflective than typical solar system [stony] asteroids or comets,” the author writes. 

    But the anomaly that really pushed Loeb toward his E.T. hypothesis was the way ‘Oumuamua moved. 

    The book will go on,

    But ‘Oumuamua didn’t follow this calculated trajectory. The object, in fact, accelerated “slightly, but to a highly statistically significant extent,” Loeb writes, as it moved away from the sun. 

    In other words, he writes that it was being pushed by a force besides the sun’s gravity alone. 

    Meanwhile, Hawaii NEWS NOW reports this strange anomaly:

    An unidentified flying object spotted in the evening sky over Leeward Oahu prompted witnesses to call 911 on Tuesday. The sighting happened about 8:30 p.m.There are multiple videos of what appears to be a glowing‚ oblong mass — both in the sky and in the water.Officials from the Federal Aviation Administration say there were no aircraft incidents or accidents in this area at the time. But multiple witnesses reported seeing a large blue object fall out of the sky and into the ocean.

    A bird’s eye view of 2021

    Just as quickly as the calendar changed from 2020 to the fresh year of new beginnings, strange activity continue..

    DATELINE Rome..

    Hundreds of dead birds fell down from the sky in the center of Rome, Italy just after fireworks for New Year. MAYBE a connection?

    A motorist uploaded a video to Youtube of the new year carnage:

    DATELINE INDIA:

    Authorities in Rajasthan’s Jhalawar town have imposed a curfew in a one-km radius after it was confirmed that 50 crows had died of bird flu recently. Deaths of 100 crows, peacocks, and other birds have also been reported in Jaipur.

    This one may be less fireworks.. and more worrisome..

    MORE..

    Bird flu was confirmed on Wednesday in a Jhalawad area where around 100 crows were found dead. The district administration has declared a zero mobility zone within one kilometre of the area to ensure the infection does not spread to other birds.

    HAPPY 2021..

  • The Myers Myers H20 mask revisited

    The Myers Myers H20 mask revisited

    A post on Twitter from the Friday the 13th franchise brought back memories.. That dreaded Michael Myers mask from Halloween H20..

    It clearly was one of the weirdest and worst.. the eyes too big.. the chiseled jaw line.. the strange computerized appearance it took on.

    The film was a mixture of hits and misses–mostly misses.. John Carpenter thankfully recused it with his re-do in 2018, and subsequent sequel that was delayed until October 2021..

    On the 20th anniversary of the 20th Anniversary of the original Halloween, 2019, an article in Screen Rant had an explanation of sorts:

    Though there have been some questionable changes made to the mask Michael Myers wears in the Halloween franchise over the years, H20‘s mask stands out a cut above the rest – and not in a good way. In H20, there were four different masks used in various scenes and stages of production. This is different from all the other films in the franchise, which used one primary design. Because of this, there was no real sense of continuity and the changes from one shot to the next took audiences out of the film, effectively limiting the terrifying visage of  the antagonist.

    But what mask are we talking about?
    As a Halloween fan site points out, there were four different to choose from!

    While the H20 mask was applauded for trying to look more like the original film’s, it was ultimately disliked by audiences, due in no small part to the fact that there were four masks used in production. These 4 masks are the KNB mask, Buechler mask, Stan Winston mask, and CGI mask.

    The Buechler mask is the mask used in the opening scene. It was made to look like the mask from Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers.

    The Stan Winston mask is the main mask in the film and is the mask mostly seen throughout the film. This was used in reshoots to replace the KNB mask in some shots. However, even though this mask look closer to the original mask, it was criticized for being too tight (Michael’s eyes are often clearly visible), looking awkward, showing Michael’s eyes, and having messy hair.

    So after all these years.. and all of the dreadful sequels, it is clear. So many bad masks existed in H20..

    But nothing as bad as Halloween 5..

    Fans have often said it was the worst.. even comparing its look to that of Thomas the Train…

    A look bad at the dreadful Michael Myers mask of H20..
