A YouTube user took to the net to show his taped footage from the Obama Inauguration this past week. It seems to show…….something….near the Washington Monument. The YouTube user shows it twice asking aloud, “What is that?”

Here is the video. Judge for yourself.
What is it?
Helicopter? Lens flare?
Craft from another world?
A reptilian craft coming to deliver flies to attack President Obama?

Just what, in the world or out of it, is that?

I’d say lens flare.
But it’s sure fun to think it’s not.

A few weeks ago, CNN’s Anderson Cooper took to the airwaves during his show 360 to battle online rumors and conspiracy theories surrounding the tragic Sandy Hook shooting. Cooper lamented the freedom the internet gives to hoaxes and rumor-mongering.. he blasted the video that has received millions of hits, the video which blends raw footage and rumor together to create questions on the official narrative of the shooting.

It can be argued, though, that media botched up the reporting on this story from the beginning. They took false leads and broadcast them to the world.. they reported the wrong suspect .. they said people died who did not. It all began with reporters trying to get a story too fast..

And now this: Rumors online of what may have actually happened that day.

Add to it a new video, one which will no doubt create more websites and videos afterwards–and maybe another response from Anderson Cooper. After all, this video involves Anderson himself.

As you can see, it appears to show Anderson Cooper’s nose vanish for a split second, causing some to ask if they were in front of a green screen and if the person involved with the interview was just acting..

Some comments have tried to debunk the video.. others say Anderson Cooper’s nose was up another orifice on his body.. one YouTube user asked this, however:

I heard it could be a YouTube video compression problem?
Can anyone verify this ?

Perhaps that is the best theory as to why Cooper’s nose seems to vanish in midsentence. That or a green screen was used and CNN tried to act like they were actually on location in Newtown..

Regardless of how it happened, or what even did happen, it won’t matter now. The rumor is out there.. this will just be added to the next conspiracy video on Sandy Hook.

We’ll see if Mr. Cooper responds directly. There may, as the compression of the YouTube video theory has it, a very logical explanation.

Sometimes nothing you see is true. Even fiction.

The Reuters news service reports:

Truly tragic news coming from Brazil as the death toll continues to rise in the nightclub fire.. it happened at the Kiss nightclub in Santa Maria.. Hundreds are dead, hundreds injured.. CNN and other sources report that many died from smoke inhalation.. Others were trampled as panic ensued when people tried to escape the flames..

Developing story..

CNN reports:

I forgot how great this movie was in a disaster edge of your seat kind of way.. It’s on HBO and I’m re-scared just like I was when I first saw it in 2004..

I was scared by weather then .. Little did I know how much I’d be even more frightened by 2012 and now the prospects for 2013.. The climate is changing rapidly. No doubt about it… We are powerless in the end..

I recall reviewing the movie for the HORROR REPORT way back in 2004. I think I was critical of the imagery but not of the story. It was a typical disaster movie, big budget, all that. But there was a deeper meaning in it that we should have all taken away. And now, in 2013, have we learned anything? Would THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW may more sense now if it was released this year instead of then?

Fun fact: What inspired the DAY AFTER TOMORROW? None other than the book by Whitley Streiber and Art Bell, THE COMING GLOBAL SUPERSTORM. When that book came out Matt Lauer laughed at them both on the TODAY show… Today we name hurricanes ‘superstorms’…Few laugh.

And that scares me deeply..

Cold and snow is being blamed for lousy box office numbers.. Friday night figures trickling in.. HANSEL AND GRETAL was able to top the box office with a lower-than-expected $6 million opening night .. It’s projected to make around for $17 million the weekend–but that is decidedly lower than the predicted $50 mil…

Could snow really have that large of an impact? Major metro areas in the Northeast hardly got an inch..

But it’s a good excuse when a much anticipated film flops during the cold weeks of late January…

Justin Bieber being investigated for assault–with a nerf gun!!

The President’s weekly radio address featured hints that he will crack down soon on ‘irresponsible behavior’.. Actually he more than hinted it instead Obama flat out said it..

But we also know the free market works best for everyone when we have smart, commonsense rules in place to prevent irresponsible behavior

..maybe you should think again.
In Japan, a government official said the elderly should just hurry up and die.
In the UK, doctors feverishly work to not work feverishly on patients who are going to pass away–letting it just happen faster. Some countries in Europe are on the verge of allowing a 21st century medical eugenics tyrannical system to take over.
Perhaps the Georgia Guidestones are an inspiration around the planet.

And now this: The Associated Press, unbiased right?, allowed its medical writer, Mike Stobbe, to question aloud whether we should just let fat smokers die and be done with it. I mean, they are just in the way, right? With their large obese stomachs protruding from their bodies.. and the disgusting smelly cigarettes destroying their lives.. They a product of human waste. They are meaningless. They should just be permitted to go into a hole, take a bullet in the head, and rid themselves from us, so we can have more space, better air, and less money going to their medical needs. While Stobbe from the AP didn’t quite say it that way, what he did say just sounded more professional:

Faced with the high cost of caring for smokers and overeaters, experts say society must grapple with a blunt question: Instead of trying to penalize them and change their ways, why not just let these health sinners die?

He went on to write,

It’s tricky to play the insurance game with overweight people, because science is still sorting things out. While obesity is clearly linked with serious health problems and early death, the evidence is not as clear about people who are just overweight.
That said, public health officials shouldn’t shy away from tough anti-obesity efforts, said Callahan, the bioethicist. Callahan caused a public stir this week with a paper that called for a more aggressive public health campaign that tries to shame and stigmatize overeaters the way past public health campaigns have shamed and stigmatized smokers.
National obesity rates are essentially static, and public health campaigns that gently try to educate people about the benefits of exercise and healthy eating just aren’t working, Callahan argued. We need to get obese people to change their behavior. If they are angry or hurt by it, so be it, he said.

Perhaps we should just stop and think long and hard before we even attempt going down this road. The slope into hell.. We start with overweight smokers.. do we end with skinny mocha drinkers?
We hate the elderly.. rid us of them! and the kids too! why do we need them?
Who picks who dies? Who decides? I guess those death panels … that don’t exist.
