    Midsummer nightmare: The ‘Lies Are Products Tell Us’ is back in grocery store packages again!

    The weird note that is being found in grocery store packages has reared its ugly head again.

    We previously had some stories about this as they occurred.. It appears the weird note being found in products is primarily happening on the East Coast, and Pennsylvania.

    We started to get a number of reports through 2021 of people finding the piece of strange paper in their products.

    Just this week as the summer of 2022 reaches its mid-peak, we have yet again been contacted by a reader who found the really bizarre note in a product that they purchased at a Giant Supermarket in Carbon County.

    A reader, Katherine, shared information with us a few nights ago that she purchased a box of Velveeta Mac and Cheese at her local Giant. When she opened the product, tucked away at the bottom, was a note that we have all come to know very well.. One we actually attempted to translate back in 2020, though there have been some variations since.

    Just this week as the summer of 2022 reaches its mid-peak, we have yet again been contacted by a reader who found the really bizarre note in a product that they purchased at a Giant Supermarket in Carbon County.

    A reader, Katherine, shared information with us a few nights ago that she purchased a box of Velveeta Mac and Cheese at her local Giant. When she opened the product, tucked away at the bottom, was a note that we have all come to know very well.. One we actually attempted to translate back in 2020, though there have been some variations since.

    Katheine told us that the box was completely sealed with no evidence of tampering. .She pulled out the contents and all of the packets and found the weird note at the bottom of the box, all folded up neatly.

    The new note appears to have some new additions and slight deviations from the past..

    The emotions of high strangeness were clear.. Our reader told us that it was very scary for her, and if “they can slip in those without being seen, what else can they do to our food”?

    The box had a best used by December 3 2022 on the package, and appeared to be distributed by Kraft Heinz Foods in Chicago Illinois..

    Katherine commented to us on her fear: ..”its not like I can even decipher the messages but im def concerned for my family and my child”..

    Despite our reporting over the past two years, we have never personally found this note anywhere, despite hearing from those who had firsthand accounts of finding one..

    There have been Reddit posts and social media attention to the oddity..

    Is it a disgruntled factory worker? Packaging employee? But all those cameras.. wouldn’t someone be caught with ease?

    Perhaps someone in a store slipping it in.. ? But no witnesses?

    .. And as promised before, the HORROR REPORT will continue to report on any information that is sent in.

    Is it time to start considering this type of product breach a crime?

  • Did James Webb find Melmac? A requiem for an alien

    Did James Webb find Melmac? A requiem for an alien

    A few amazing things occurred this week. Images were finally revealed from the James Webb telescope that are giving us a visual representation of the past.

    Of course while they are amazing and breathtaking to some, others have found reason to ponder how similar they look to those awful class school pictures from the 1980s..

    But it was in this context that aliens and space life really was abundant this week. For some odd reasons I decided to re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-watch the final episode of ALF.. and it just so happened that I also spoke to friends about the little alien from Melmac this week as well..

    We already know that Melmac exploded. But why couldn’t Webb find it since it was looking at early space!?

    While the James Webb telescope found no evidence of the planet Melmac or ALF’s cat eating friends and family, or Willie Tanner’s real life criminal history, it also did NOT find the continuation of the famous 80s TV show..

    Here is a bit of a background..

    ALF. THE ALIEN THAT WAS

    Those who were fans then or newcomers long after the 20th century may know very well the real pain that ALF brought. the 80s TV show was a hit. He had commercials. He appeared at awards shows.. he had a Monday night regular series on NBC from September 22, 1986, to March 24, 1990..

    The show got that popular that he was even invited to the White House by Nancy Reagan for the 1987 Christmas party… There were rumors that President Reagan himself said ALF was his favorite show.

    For the long duration of the program, the hairy alien tried dating. He went on Johnny Carson. And from the first episode, he just wanted his heavy hairy and sarcastic body to be able to get back onto a fixed spaceship and back to his home planet again.

    (And it is interesting to note that even then Senator now President Joe Biiden got mocked by ALF)

    x x x

    Think about the pain that ALF felt, forced away from his life.. His planet gone for good and the survivors just zooming around space presumably looking for other lost creatures from the planet. Alf forced away from his home. And on this planet Earth just to search for cats to eat in a society that frowned on it… He even blew up a kitchen..

    But in the end, Alf had a tremendously awful existence on Earth despite the humor.. He just wanted to go back to a home that was gone forever… And Willie Tanner never had the right parts to fix the ship to take Alf back up into space. The military was always on to the Tanners from episode one. They figured he was harboring a space creature.

    So with this sad existence, it is with particular pain that so many of us watched the finale on that fateful night of March 24, 1990.

    By 1989 the show’s ratings were declining. And as its fourth season was coming to a close, network execs pondered whether the series would even continue..

    ALF’s writers created a cliffhanger for the season’s final episode that would by default become the series finale.

    THE CLIFFHANGER

    Here was the plot: While using a ham radio in a failed attempt to contact Australia, Alf intercepted a coded message sent by his old Melmac friends. They invite ALF to join them on New Melmac, an offer he has trouble accepting but ultimately accepts. The Tanners take him to a secluded field and say their goodbyes. Just as the spaceship’s lights approach, the U.S. Military Alien Task Force arrives, capturing ALF and scaring off the approaching alien ship. The episode ended with a title card that read “To be continued.”

    And that, my friends, is where it ended.

    There was never ever a continuation. Nothing. we never knew what happened.

    Did they take him to torture him at a black site? Was he an eventual Dr. Fauci animal experiment on a virus? Did he go crazy and attack all of the humans including the Tanners? So much could have been done. But it just ended with a whimper as opposed to a bang.

    Since this finale painful finale where Alf tries to make jokes about sports and beer with military abductors, we know that producers were verbally told that a season 5 could occur.

    However, the network changed its mind and abruptly canceled the show. That fall, a different notable program would debut in ALF’s old time slot: The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air..

    A 1990 newspaper report in the Baltimore SUN summarized the finale of ALF.. It praised the death of the ALF show.. they longed for the 1988 version, as the 1990 version had been moved to Saturday nights. Death.. The show was doomed.

    FAILED ATTEMPTS AT NEW ALF LIFE

    There WAS actually an attempt to bring us the follow up on that awful finale. It is rarely recalled because of fan hostility about it…

    In 1996,  ABC aired the made-for-TV-movie Project: ALF.

    The plot is as follows: It revolved around the Alf’s antics while being held captive by a government agency. ALF was the only character from the original series to appear in the film, a fact that contributed to its many negative reviews. The more-than-five-year gap between series finale and TV movie also bred a lack of interest. Project: ALF has largely become a forgotten footnote in television history.

    Fans, including us, reject this final movie .. it’s not canon. It is not ALF universe materials. We live in the world where season 4’s cliffhanger still exists as is..

    From popular media reports, Max Wright was so ready to be done with the show that when the final day of taping ended, he immediately cleaned out his dressing room and left the studio, without saying goodbye to any of the cast or crew.

    And that is too bad. As aforementioned, a season 5 could have benefited Max Wright greatly.

    It was over. And quite frankly, it was not a proper send-off for what Alf created.

    Top this day, it we ignore the ALF project and instead we want that last final season. We desire to know what occurred, how the little alien was able to survive with gun-drawn government officials breathing down his hairy neck..

    Another final attempt was made to bring us Alf’s antics.

    HEY-OOOOOO!!

    In 2004, a series called ALF’s Hit Talk Show debuted on the TV Land cable network.

    The show featured ALF in a late-night host role, with Ed McMahon as his sidekick. Guests included Drew Carey, Joan Rivers, Bryan Cranston and Tom Arnold.

    The show lasted seven episodes before being canceled.

    It just was never meant to be.

    THE REAL ENDING NEVER HAPPENED

    Season 5 was meant to be–and it just did not happen.

    So we still long for the REAL true and actual series finale .. that finale that could create finality to the painful existence that ALF felt..

    Instead we got knee-jerk reaction style shows .. We received next-to-nothing style programs to just give fodder but not feed.

    We cry for Alf.. all these years later. He stands there still, waiting for the government folks to make their decision on what painful future Alf would exerience..

    Is there a future for an Alf in the modern James Webb world?

    Well.. one of those photos from Webb of the many millions of billions of distant galaxies that harbor trillions of zillions of planets may very well end of Alf’s home planet.

    We find comfort in the thought that he is back there instead of some lab..

    Stranger Things gave us the massacre at Hawkins Lab.

    Maybe Alf could at least give us the massacre in a Secluded Field as he escaped their grasp……..!

  • Emmy nominations screw the best part of STRANGER THINGS 4!!

    Emmy nominations screw the best part of STRANGER THINGS 4!!

    Let’s start by being brutally honest: the Emmys in the Oscars and the Grammys don’t matter anymore. They are all 20th century relics. Their usefulness has run their course, and there from a time and place when pop-culture was given to us instead of us choosing what we wanted..

    But there still is a bit of beauty in the dying arts of awards. And when we know that someone in a movie or a TV show or on an album really deserves an award and recognition for their performance, then getting that said award seems very justified.

    Fast forward to today… the Emmy’s have gone upside down!

    Stranger Things” Season 4 garnered 13 Primetime Emmy nominations on Tuesday.

    Emmy Nominations included Outstanding Drama Series, but acting nods for Sadie Sink and Millie Bobby Brown were not among them. The two “Stranger Things” stars were submitted in the supporting actress in a drama series category, but those eight noms instead went to Patricia Arquette (“Severance”), Julia Garner (“Ozark”), Jung Ho-yeon (“Squid Game”), Christina Ricci (“Yellowjackets”), Rhea Seehorn (“Better Call Saul”), J. Smith-Cameron (“Succession”), Sarah Snook (“Succession”) and Sydney Sweeney (“Euphoria”).

    For those who have seen season four of Stranger Things, it can be arguably said that Sadie Sink carried the program. Yes, Millie Bobby Brown was amazing. Other than the cast for as well. But each and every time that Sadie appeared as Max on screen, the emotions would run high and her acting was impeccable.

    And with these award nominations snubbing them both, it showcases how dramatically out of touch the Emmys are. And, it makes a mockery of their process.

  • WE’VE ONLY JUST BEGUN: THE SUMMER OF JAMES WEBB

    WE’VE ONLY JUST BEGUN: THE SUMMER OF JAMES WEBB

    How cool is this!!

    NASA has released one of the James Webb telescope’s first images, and it’s the deepest view of the universe ever captured.

    This is the picture we’ve all been waiting for—the deepest image of the cosmos ever captured. Billions of dollars and lifetimes of work have brought us to this historic moment:

    The image shows SMACS 0723, where a massive group of galaxy clusters act as a magnifying glass for the objects behind them. Called gravitational lensing, this created Webb’s first deep field view of incredibly old and distant, faint galaxies.

    The presentation occurred at the White House during a preview event with President Joe Biden and NASA Administrator Bill Nelson.

    The image, taken by Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera, is composed of images taken at different wavelengths of light over the course of 12.5 hours. The Hubble Space Telescope’s deepest fields took weeks to capture.

    The rest of the high-resolution color images will make their debut on July 12..

    MORE COMING..

    CNN proclaims that Biden will release James Webb images

    Why is this being made political? This is an amazing scientific event.

    How about the headline reading ‘scientists excited to release images from Webb telescope..?

    Hard work over years has paid off..

    (PS We would believe and say the same thing if this was Trump or any previous president) ..

    Either way, we are excited to see the images that Biden will share ..

  • NYC launches nuclear attack preparedness PSA

    NYC launches nuclear attack preparedness PSA

    According to the PSA, there are three important steps to take.

    The first step is to “get inside” of a building fast and move away from any windows.

    The second step is to “stay inside” and head into a basement if you have access to one. If you were outside during the nuclear blast, get clean immediately, removing and bagging all outer clothing to keep radioactive dust or ash away from your body.

    The third step is to “stay tuned,” following media for any new information. New Yorkers can sign up for Notify NYC for official alerts and updates at NYC.gov/notifynyc or by calling 311.

  • A new study shows that as Covid re-emerges, vaccine efficacy has severely dropped

    A new study shows that as Covid re-emerges, vaccine efficacy has severely dropped

    COVID booster shots appear to be less than 20% effective against infection with the omicron variant of the virus just a few months after the booster is given, a new study found this week.

    The Italian study, which is a pre-print review and re-analysis of prior studies and has not been peer-reviewed, suggests boosters are effective in the short term to restore protection against the virus. But over just a few months, that wanes quickly.

    “Booster doses were found to restore the VE [vaccine effectiveness] to levels comparable to those acquired soon after administration of the second dose; however, a fast decline of booster VE against Omicron was observed, with less than 20% VE against infection and less than 25% VE against symptomatic disease at 9 months from the booster administration,” the authors wrote in the paper released Wednesday.

  • A Crack Opened In Earth’s Magnetic Field This Week And Stayed Open For 14 Hours

    A Crack Opened In Earth’s Magnetic Field This Week And Stayed Open For 14 Hours

    The crack in the magnet field was created by a rare phenomenon called a co-rotating interaction region (CIR) from the Sun. CIRs are large-scale plasma structures generated in the low and mid-latitude regions of the heliosphere – the region surrounding the Sun that includes the solar magnetic field and the solar winds – when fast and slow-moving streams of solar wind interact.

    While this article opens up it’s “journalism” with a crack about Vecna coming to the planet based off of this real life event, it at least goes on to explain that this is actually a very normal occurrence in cracks often open up the magnetic field..

    The earth should probably start considering this: we need to gear up for what might be one of the most active periods of time right now for the sun between now and July 2025.

    Maybe will get a couple beautiful aurora borealis nights deep in southern latitudes if these types of events continue

    Shadow banned! Elon Musk pulls out of $44 billion Twitter deal

    Elon Musk, the chief executive officer of Tesla and the world’s richest person, said on Friday he was terminating his $44 billion deal to buy Twitter because the social media company had failed to provide information about fake accounts.

    Shares of Twitter were down 7% in extended trading. Musk had offered $54.20 per share in April.

    Developing!!

    In a filing, Musk’s lawyers said Twitter had failed or refused to respond to multiple requests for information on fake or spam accounts on the platform, which is fundamental to the company’s business performance.

    “Twitter is in material breach of multiple provisions of that Agreement, appears to have made false and misleading representations upon which Mr. Musk relied when entering into the Merger Agreement,” the filing said.
