Here's another beauty... Oh pleeezzz don't hurt the chickens. Just what does Claudia Barnes eat? I'll bet it's something that has been killed... oh how awful!! OK folks, read this news article and be very afraid of the lunacy run amok amongst us.
COMMERCE CITY - Some residents are up in arms over what a new grocery store plans to do with its poultry. California-based Liborio Markets, a Latino-based grocery store, is branching out to Colorado. Eight stores in all are planned for the state, the first one to be called Rancho Liborio in Commerce City.
The store, scheduled to open July 30, is talking with the U.S. Department of Health and the Tri-County Health Department, seeking approval to bring in live chickens that will be killed at the store. "We are proposing to have live poultry processed here at the store," said owner, Anthony Trujillo. "It's just live poultry that's processed in the back that has no access to the store."
Trujillo says about 150 chickens a day would be brought to the store in climate-controlled trucks, where they're then unloaded into a climate-controlled room in the back. Every morning, the chickens are given a fatal electric shock, de-feathered, cleaned, cut, and put on the shelves. Trujillo says no live chickens remain in the back for more than five hours. "There is no butchering or slaughtering whatsoever," said Trujillo. "It's a sophisticated state-of-the-art technology."
However, nearby residents, like Claudia Barnes, don't like the idea at all. "We're just appalled," she said. "If they want to do this in the privacy of their home, I don't care. But we're just opening up a keg of worms if this happens."

Rocks are Alive
Here's another gem from (of all places) Pravda. You recall that 'scary' newspaper from the 'evil empire' of the Soviet Union don't you? Look what kind of articles they're running (the link to the whole article):
French geologists Arnold Rheshar and Pierre Escollet have long studied rock specimens collected in different parts of the world. They arrived at quite an amazing conclusion in the end. They believed that stones have some kind of a vital activity though a very slow one. The geologists maintain the structure of stones is subject to changes, and stones can grow old. Moreover, the French claim stones can breathe, to a certain extent. Taking one “breath” takes them from three days to two weeks. And each of their “heartbeats” lasts about three days. The scientists say they gathered photographic evidence clearly indicating that stones could move. The pictures of stones were taken at large intervals. One of the stones is reported to have moved for 2.5 centimeters in two weeks’ time. The geologists stubbornly maintain that stones are living organisms though some physical processes relating to earth shove or water impact seem to be the most likely reasons behind the phenomenon.
So, OK, I'll play along. I picked up a few rocks from my garden and smashed them with my geologist hammer. French Scientist Dudes, I have bad news for you. I found no little stony legs, no little rocky hearts, no tiny little stone lungs - just dust and some gravel. The rock never even tried to run away.
I have to wonder just how these "geologists" figured that rocks breath? And as far as stones moving under their own power... dudes, DUDES! You must ease up on the LSD. It's just not good for you. For your own sanity, please, just step away from the glue and stop sniffing it.
And to think, this was in Pravda. Whoooo Boy!

Who Built the Moon?
Well, here's a great dinner topic. Try bringing this up next time you're out to dinner. Ask: "Who built the moon?" No really... try it. Then see if the goon squad with the padded truck doesn't show up real quick to pack you away to the looney bin.
Here's a fellow that's spent a goodly amount of time writing a book that asks the question: who built the moon. Of course, off hand, I can think of an even more mysterious question: who built the monkeys that just flew out of my butt? Hey... might as well. They're both on the same intellectual level. Only there's one difference. I didn't waste a year of my life and 200 trees worth of paper to spring that question on humanity.
This book, aptly named Who Built the Moon poses such a question - and it took 64,000 words to ask. The author, Christopher Knight, has actually consumed valuable resources in a vain attempt to convince us that perhaps the "boogeyman" built the moon. Perhaps it was even on a Saturday morning. And of course he somehow suspects (without a single micron of scientific evidence) that perhaps the moon is hollow. Yeah, that's it. And it's probably filled with candy, or radishes, or creme cheese, or yogurt perhaps. And what a construction project. The labor contracts were immense, right? Yeah... and I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night too.
This is an example of an utter disregard for thousands of years of scientific method and knowledge. More appropriately, this is the kind of insane wild thoughtless fantasy that results from too many drugs, or sniffing too much glue. Really, I can't think why anyone would even contemplate wasting their time like this. And then, most amazingly, trying to waste other peoples time while charging them money. And worse... why anyone would actually BUY THIS BOOK. Well, as Mr. Barnam said long ago: "there's a sucker born every minute".
And for those that actually bought this book... I have a special secret message for you. Shhhhhh... be very quiet. Here it is: "send me money to pay the Sorgoshians off or they will shut the moon down, pack it up, and move it to the Vegan system. Hurry!!! They only accept hundred dollar bills.

Mantra: Its all the fault of Global Warming
OK, here's another beauty:
A new study led by scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego, implicates rising seasonal temperatures and the earlier arrival of spring conditions in connection with a dramatic increase of large wildfires in the western United States. In the most systematic analysis to date of recent changes in forest fire activity, Anthony Westerling, Hugo Hidalgo and Dan Cayan of Scripps Oceanography, along with Tom Swetnam of the University of Arizona, compiled a database of recent large western wildfires since 1970 and compared it with climate and land-surface data from the region. The results show that large wildfire activity increased "suddenly and dramatically" in the 1980s with longer wildfire seasons and an increased number and more potent wildfires. The new findings, published in the July 6 issue of Science Express (the advance online version of the printed journal Science), point to climate change, not fire suppression policies and forest accumulation, as the primary driver of recent increases in large forest fires.
News link
Rubbish! And I suppose if I burp three times, that too is a by product of the so called mythological Al Gore GLOBAL WARMING. To explain just how BOGUS this manic news is, let me analyse.
First: the article states that "Oceanographers" did this study of the climate and forest. Might as well use metallurgists or geologists. Close enough right? Wrong.
Second: Spring comes a bit earlier so that means fires? Give me a break. All it means more stupid people tossing out cigarettes, not putting out campfires, being careless, or setting fires on purpose (recall some terrorists thought this was a good idea), or even a biut more lightning earlier on. Not ONE iota of a LINK to the so called Global Warming. Third: The study only goes back to the 70's. 1970's... talk about a thin slice of a study meaning absolutely NOTHING. And these guys DARE call themselves scientists? Add some more factors: more people since the 70's, more cars since the 70's, more idiots since the 70's. Duh... And never mind that forestry companies are not allowed to cut like they did prior to the 70's. All the conditions for increased fires.
But of course... that could NEVER BE. It just HAS TO BE global warming, right? Idiots.

Bees in his head
Here is a lovely news article... Not only does this article waste hard drive space, it takes up bandwidth, wastes YOUR time, is a demonstrated waste of Mr. Ted Anderson's time (when he could be contributing something useful to humanity), but a NEWS reporter named Haeck actually wasted his time researching and reporting this. And here we are reading this garbage on the Coast to Coast web site. Add in their web meister's "lost time" publishing this, and it all adds up to lots of wasted time and energy. Is this smart?
I'm thinking someone needs to check the water supply and pronto. Apparently Mr. Anderson is mistaking stars for UFOs. Get outside more often dude! "Motherships come from other worlds to drop off planetary ships here", he says. Well, maybe they're interstellar garbage trucks, you moron. Hahahaha!!! And they're dumping right over your head, onto your house, because they know you are so feeble minded that you will mistake them for 'friendly and protective'. Oh pleeeeez... give me a break! And just who told you about this since you can only watch it from 50 miles below? The little voices in your head perhaps?
Is There A UFO Freeway Above Earth?
August 27, 2005 By Corwin Haeck
SKAGIT COUNTY - "We are not alone."
UFO buffs have been saying so for decades. But now a Mount Vernon man says you don't have to believe in aliens. You can see their ships any night of the week with your own eyes. Ted Anderson says 50 miles above the earth, there's a veritable UFO expressway he calls the UFO Freeway Portal Location. "Myself and thousands of friends have been watching it since 1968," says Anderson. "Motherships come from other worlds to drop off their planetary ships to come to Earth."
Where are they from? What's their purpose? Anderson can only speculate. "This is a security force created by some super being organization or civilization."
He believes these ships are standing guard, literally protecting us from hostile aliens. And he says if you get out of the city and gaze up south of the Big Dipper, you can see the ships for yourself with the naked eye. "These red ships, they're there constantly."

The DUH! Vinci Code
The Da Vinci Code... don't get me started. In proper perspective, this is the title of a fiction novel. Nothing more, nothing less. Yet in some quarters and vacant mental backyards, this fiction novel has reached an odd level of authenticity.
It cannot be denied that this book (and the ideas within) has reached a high level of popularity. Some commentators have been generous with their analysis (The Individualist Code by Stephen Cox, http://mises.org/story/2232 ) explaining that the concept is popular because "people have an instinct for liberty, an instinct that urges them to rebel against institutions". Therefore, this line of thought continues, this Da Vinci Code thing supports their rebelion against an established institution.
Rubbish, I say.
My initial impression is that when a F-I-C-T-I-O-N novel takes on attributes of authenticity with the reading audience, I begin to wonder about the mental capacities of that reading audience. Sure, they can follow along with the words: "See Judy run, run Judy run". But 'comprehension' must have sprouted wings and flew right out of their butts. And does this surprise me? No. Not in a society that lags behind most all other "first world" countries in our education.
Am I wrong? No. Stand on the sidewalk and start asking passing teens: where Chile is ("in the bowl, dude, with crackers on top"), who the current Secretary of State is, is global warming real, what is the cubic space of a 10' by 18' by 20' room, what is the Sherman Act? You'll get the picture. Almost half of all college undergraduates require remedial writing classes should they go on to Graduate studies.
My final major impression is (here is where I agree with Mr. Cox) that there is a dwindling in numbers of those that understand and prescribe to Christianity. A vacuum exists and along comes The Da Vinci Code to fill in some gaps.
In my opinion, both of these impressions indicate that America has slipped on the big banana peel of life and we're heading for a painful fall. History may well remember us as going the way of the barbarians - as they gnaw at us from within.

Bush to Blame for Katrina
Here's a real zinger...
Three thoughts come to my mind.
Number One: Since when is a lawyer a scientist? Answer: They aren't. Hahaha. Kennedy must have graduated from the "Al Gore School of Foolish Science". Remember, Al Gore, that failed lawyer who never even passed his bar exam? The guy that wrote the book "Earth in the Balance" which started this global warming nonsense. And, that was just after he invented the internet.
Number Two: Wouldn't it be grand if people really DID have this kind of power...? I can see it now. In a deep rumbling echoing voice: "I conjur up a storm to destroy... destroy... ah... hmmm, lets see... New Orleans. Yes, that's it, New Orleans!" Yeah.. right! And finally...
Number Three: Knowing that weatherpeople and their supercomputers cannot even accurately predict the weather for tomorrow, how in the hell are they supposedly able to predict whole global climates in even the next year or two?
Think of this: If global warming is supposedly happening, and it's George Bush's fault, then explain to me how it is that the Earth has gone through over half a dozen FREEZING (think glaciers) and STEAMING events in the past - LONG BEFORE GEORGE BUSH and the SUV? That's right! Yep, you win a cigar if you scratch your head and realize that there are NATURAL CYCLES on this windy planet that have nothing to do with GEORGE BUSH, the Republicans, or the SUV.
As they say in the mid-west (about the weather from year to year): "It is".
Do President Bush and so-called "global warming" have anything to do with the catastrophic damage caused by Hurricane Katrina?
Yes, according to some politicians and public figures, who are already politicizing the disaster. Among them is Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a lawyer and environmentalist who is a host on the Air America Radio network.

America to pay for damaged Gaza power station
Something is very wrong. The Palestinians kidnap an Israeli soldier.
Israel bombs a Palistinian power plant.
"United States officials said Saturday that U.S. funds would be used to pay for the damage caused by the strike."

The Lost Star of Myth and Time
Recently, the Coast to Coast radio program aired a segment (www.coasttocoastam.com/shows/2005/10/04.html) showcasing a gentleman that has decided he has an explanation for 1) the alternating cycles of dark ages and golden ages in the history of humanity, and 2) the precession of the equinox. You may reference his web site here: http://www.loststarbook.com/.
The first three thoughts that occured to me are (in this order): 1) Is this fiction? 2) I didn't know we needed an explanation for the precession of the equinox (I thought we had that one solved decades ago), and finally, 3) of the millions of things that lead to cycles in the ages of humanity, I wonder why he needs to cook up an extremely exotic and potentially unlikely one?
The bottom line theory here is that precession and cycles in humanity are themes that resonate through history. OK, so right off the bat, the theory is already painfully obvious and nothing new to anyone with a decent education. What makes the difference here, as postulated by the author, is that these events are actually caused by a hidden sister star to our own sun. "Golly", I think to myself, "yet another variation of the 'twin Earth hidden behind our sun' theory... goodie goodie, this ought to be a laugh." Yet, the author is serious. He is not intending this to be a work of fiction. I then wonder aloud, "he has credentials to back up his research, right?" Well... the author claims he is (and I kid you not) an "Amateur Theoretical Archaeo-Astronomer". Gulp! What the hell is that, I ponder? I guess the self-made title gives it all away with the inclusion of the word 'amateur', topped off with the use of 'theoretical'. In the same light, I myself am an "Amateur Theoretical Brain Surgeon", yet they just won't let me in the operating room at the local hospital for some reason. Why won't they believe me? Maybe I should drive down to the county courthouse, stroll into an ongoing trial, and announce loudly that (Hey everyone!!) I am an "Amateur Theoretical Lawyer and I am here with the answers". How far do you think I would get before security handcuffs me and escorts me from the building? I am laughing out loud now. This IS a farce. Then, to add to the fanciful nature of all this, the author (remember, the archaeo-astronomer?) reveals his background has been 'banking'. You know... money? "What", I exclaim in shock, "He does not have any science education? No BS in physics or astronomy, no masters, no PhD, no published papers?" No, but he does have an interest in astronomy. Yes, and I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night too.
The whole idea here is that some mysterious binary star (that has somehow escaped the attention of every astrophysicist, astronomer, and scientist on Earth throughout all history, to include NASA and every freakin' university that teaches any science or is involved with research) swings in every so often and shakes things up a bit. And, well, we're supposed to believe that Mr. Banker here has discovered why (because all those other scholarly ideas and studies throughout the ages are just plain lacking, right?) precession exists and why there are cycles in the long ages of humanity. It's that doggone binary star... that's all, right? So, we have another junior "Hoagland" here. A ton of fanciful ideas but NO science background, NO experience, NO references. Nothing. And I repeat in loud words: NOTHING that jives with anything having to do with even ONE single scientist in the WHOLE WORLD. But, a fanciful story, I have to grant.
The problem with this kind of thinking is that these folks can makeup whatever they want and always find enough gullable people to believe it. Would you like me to direct you to all the necessary links that will unveil this stuff as pure bull hockey ? Well, I won't because then I will have done WHAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO DO, for you. You need to get off your fat dumb lazy ass and start looking up, questioning, and learning about the world for yourself instead of fallng for this kind of garbage this gentleman is dishing out. It's ALL out there... available to you right now. Hey, start looking for yourself. Usually the best place to start is NOT the internet (why? because it is so littered with garbage and pseudo-everything that it is hard to tell what is real and what isn't). So guess where good sources are?
Try COLLEGE.
Hey, even the LIBRARY is terrific.
But yeah... they're probably ALL lying huh? Through out all the decades, all the schools, and all the professors in the schools... and Mr. "digital-star amateur archaeo whatever" guy is right. Huh? Yeah, OK... I have a bridge to sell you.
Finally, the icing on the cake. This guy takes himself so seriously, he goes out and founds (my own term would be 'thunk up') a "Conference on Precession and Ancient Knowledge", then he stars in it as a guest speaker. HAHAHAHAHAHA my my my... I have your ancient knowledge... right here!!! http://www.loststarbook.com/author.shtml
