The children of flight 370

These are the first images released of the children aboard Flight 370..

Their beautiful faces speak for themselves.

I wish for a world without tragedy and fear for children. Obviously judging from daily news, this planet  hasn’t attained any goal of goodness or love.

If a horrible accident occurred on board this plane, it’s assumed that all 239 passengers succumbed to their ill-fated demise quickly. I fear that did not happen.. I especially cringe thinking about the plane experiencing a hijacking gone wrong, or something even worse for the innocent people aboard the flight.

Yes, indeed.. those who tune out of heavy headlines may be the happiest. 

I’m not like that. I soak up the news as much as a Sheryl Crow soaks up the sun. And for that, I am typically upset about what some nation or person has done to an innocent child in a dark part of the planet Earth.

DAVID BRENNER DEAD AT 78

David Brenner just lost a battle with cancer.. he is dead tonight at the age of 78.

He died on a Saturday.. I think of all the Saturday nights he entertained throughout the years of his career, to half empty rooms of half drunk people to the audiences of the TONIGHT SHOW with Johnny Carson..

His humor became an inspiration for others such as Jerry Seinfeld and Paul Reiser..

He was a star of the 20th century and a trend setter for years to come..

And he never abandoned his craft.

As FOX news points out in their story tonight on his passing, 

Brenner worked steadily through 2013 doing standup. A four-day gig last December included a New Year’s Eve show at a King of Prussia, Pa., casino-resort in which he showcased young comedians.

A non nightmare on my street

I had a vivid dream last night. I was stuck in some form of a coal mine.. I don't recall ever seeing it before in my life, but in my dream I knew exactly where I was and where I was going.

I saw the vision of a young coal miner in my dream, just staring at me from a distance. I had a moment today to put pen to paper and draw what I remember from the dream--the boy's pale and motionless eyes...

I don't think this means much of anything--I really don't ever know of any dreams do.

But I does make me hope for future technology that will allow us to record our dreams and watch them the next day. 

Unless that would be too scary a prospect given the circumstances of alternate reality that occur deep in sleep under the cover of darkness..

Weekend roundup: Asteroids, missing planes, and Lady's Gaga's naked after a vomit and sausage show

The news you need to know to start your weekend.
Or drunken stupor.
Whichever you intend on doing..

Asteroid to dim a bright star for some in the Northeast!

As reported on the HORROR REPORT and other sources, the missing Malaysia flight has now become a criminal inquiry..  but as I asked on Facebook this morning:  Are officials just using the terror angle to save face for not being able to locate a jet carrying 239 people for over seven days?


The HORROR REPORT and Clyde Lewis may have been the only sources wondering if Flight 370 was hit by a meteor.. Well look at this website (translate it too) .. these fireballs were spotted all over Asia the night that the flight vanished..

The United States is about to get out of the Internet business.. There are big ramifications for that--including a potential internet tax and more regulation. If the net is not controlled by a free people, will free speech suffer? I worry about this. A lot..

Russia/Crimea/Ukraine/US tensions..


Things get weird at SXSW: Lady Gaga, sausages and vomit..


Someone needs attention... following Gaga's vomit performance, she posted photos of herself naked in a bathtub..

At least it won't happen this weekend.. right? NASA study concludes that civilization is heading for a collapse .. and there's no turning back.

No matter the season, horror movies abound.. here's the top pictures to watch for St. Patrick's Day scares..

Seven days in, officials now suspect flight 370 was hijacked

Officials now saying it is 'conclusive' that Flight 370 was hijacked »

Seven days after the vanishing act of MH370, we are now seeing reports that the airliner was hijacked by someone with ‘experience’ and that authorities are zeroing in on two possible routes that the flight took.. Malaysia’s Prime Minister Najib said Saturday that this was a ‘deliberate action.’ 

Najib also said investigators are now trying to trace the airplane across two possible “corridors” — a northern corridor from the border of Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan through to northern Thailand, and a southern corridor from Indonesia to the southern Indian Ocean.

That surprisingly conclusive information comes after days of mystery—searches in vast portions of oceans and spy satellites searching land masses for wreckage. Now the Indian Ocean is in play..

This has been the most bizarre and surreal series of events that I have ever witnessed in connection with a plane crash.. And to call it a plane crash at this is not even accurate. We frankly don’t.. Even if the hijacking  story works out, the fact remains: We don’t know where Flight 370 is.

Friday night lights

This may seem like a delusional Friday night thought—and with hours of travel today and three days away my mind may be in a bizarre state of mind.  But here goes anyway..

As I sat in a very lonely hotel bar room, sipping a club soda and lime (after a beer or two of course) I got into a conversation with someone who slipped into a stupor long before I ended up with my non alcoholic  beverage. There was a muted TV playing coverage of the news, that night, that they thought they found wreckage from Flight 370. That turned out to be untrue of course, but during our short bar talk, he told me that he thought aliens abducted the passengers and threw the plane into the ocean.

I laughed at that thought but immediately remembered reading the Langoliers by Stephen King. I also recall, quite well, seeing the made for TV movie starring Baulky from PERFECT STRANGERS. The movie was just awful as far as graphics and acting.. but the concept from King was marvelous: The Langoliers are creatures that eat time. And a red eye flight gets caught up in a time slip .. the passengers have to figure it out. And before you know it, they encounter 20th century computer graphics that eat their time out from under them, and around them.

Interesting concept.

And some have compared the Langoliers to today’s new mystery.

You’d need to suspend logic for a while.. what better time to do it than at a lonely cold bar room in the central part of Pennsylvania. I did.. and I wondered if these passengers were battling time demons in a galaxy close by.. 

Of course, reality may end up with a tragic result in this matter. A crash site.. or something worse.. 

The Langoliers would be bad, too. Especially if they are as graphically challenged as the 1995 version of creatures that eat time..

Meteors and mysteries and threats

Read this 1997 SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN article on what would happen if meteors struck passenger airliners ..

I offer it up to argue the case that this could have been what happened to flight 370—could have.

So far, anyone I spoke of this theory to laughed at me to my face..

I don’t think it’s a tin foil hat concept like others think..

And with the lack of any answers, shouldn't we consider any possibility ?

But this...

Hijacked and hidden? US counter-terror officials fear plane could have been captured after debris spotted by Chinese is ruled out and new data reveals it was airborne FOUR hours after vanishing »

This report is being downplayed to some degree by officials in Malaysia.. However it certainly adds yet more mystery and intrigue to the missing flight..
Regardless, families must be emotionally wrecked at this point, and I cannot fathom what that feels like..

NEW INFORMATION REVEALED ON MISSING FLIGHT 370

Mystery Malaysia flight may have been hundreds of miles off course »

Missing Malaysia Airlines flight way off course, not sending ID code when it vanished, Malaysian Air Force official tells CNN

And with that, we appear to be heading back towards the terrorism angle again..

CNN goes on to report this in its latest dispatch:

If correct, these are ominous signs that could call into question whether someone in the cockpit might have deliberately steered the plane away from its intended destination, a former U.S. aviation investigator said.

"This kind of deviation in course is simply inexplicable," said Paul Goelz, former managing director of the National Transportation Safety Board.

However, veteran pilot Kit Darby, president of Aviation Information Resources, told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that mechanical problems could still explain everything: A power failure would have turned off the main transponder and its backup, and the plane could have flown for more than an hour, he said.

According to the Malaysian Air Force official, who declined to be named because he is not authorized to speak to the media, the plane’s transponder apparently stopped working at about the time flight controllers lost contact with it, near the coast of Vietnam.

PHANTOM CELL PHONE CALLS

Malaysian airlines flight 370 is still missing.. There was hubbub about people with stolen passports. We know this now: One man with a stolen passport on the missing plane was seeking asylum.. he was an Iranian teenager trying to migrate to Germany and does not have terror links..

The HORROR REPORT reported on this matter yesterday in a story but it's worth re-linking up this morning.. There are claims that the cell phones of passengers from Flight 370 are still working and ringing. No one is answering.. Apparently the phones being called by a handful of relatives of the LOST are still on a network.. the phantom phone calls are a mystery but adding to the heartbreak and misery of the families trying to figure out what emotion they should have..

But it's not just the passengers.. According to the Singapore STRAIT TIMES, cell phones of the crew members are ringing, too! According to reports, that information has been turned over to Chinese authorities. And I am sure the Chinese government will be up front and honest with their answers... (Into the vault, never to be heard again) .. At some point, will anyone actually perform a global positioning test on these numbers and get a location..?

There are other reports that some family members have even seen the smartphones ONLINE through the Chinese networking site 'QQ'.. 

There are two possibilities: The plane is missing and somewhere deep in the ocean. (It happened to Egypt Air)  But logically, some elements of a plane will always float. Nothing can be hidden forever..And remember, a black box will ping for 30 days.. a beacon transponder will give a signal of a crashed plane. But none of these things are happening?

Instead, families are hearing the cell phones of loved ones ring in some sort of chilling Hollywood horror movie?

Something seems very odd about this story. So little adds up at this point..

Tuesday terrors from around the world

Just another Tuesday morning on the planet Earth..
I took my son to the car this morning getting him ready for day care.. his little innocent three year old eyes spotted a star still in the early morning sky. I asked him if people lived there and he unequivocally said 'NOOOO' .. I asked if people live on any other stars. . he looked a little confused, looked at the star again, and turned back to me.. he hesitated and say, "no?" .. Maybe he'll be a skeptic. Maybe a believer.
As long as he's not a Belieber.

To the news, all bright and shiny like an early morning star!

Ukraine has called up its national guard.. And this: The Crimean parliament voted Tuesday that the Black Sea peninsula will declare itself an independent state if its residents agree to split off from Ukraine and join Russia in a referendum...
Crimean Tatars fear Russian rule..


Mark of the beast: This is Venezuala 2014: Only Venezuelans with NUMBERS are being permitted to get food..


Stress levels of children rise in the aftermath of Fukushima nightmare.. Some children only a short drive from the Fukushima meltdown barely know what it's like to play outside..

Japan marks the third anniversary of the massive earthquake and tsunami.. And the world will feel the effects of Fukushima for a long time to come..

Madrid marks tenth anniversary of train bombing..

Hearing on Hanford nuclear site cleanup will NOT include key workers..
And this: The leak at the Hanford nuclear site tank is GETTING WORSE..

Senate Democrats hold all-night session on global warming..


New information on sinkhole in Bayou Corne: Imagery detected sinkhole before it collapsed...

Adam Lanza's father says "you can't get any more evil" than his son.. He now wishes his son never had been born.. Such a tragic story all around.. For the families who will never get over losing the precious lives that were lost, and a also for a father who lost his son but yet knows the heartbreak his son caused.. All of this is unfathomable. As is so much in life..

Mother who drove her children into the ocean blames her husband..

This is amazing: Elephants can tell the difference between human languages.. Elephants never cease to amaze me. As do many animals.
Even more from the study: Apparently, elephants can also recognize human voice, age, and sex too..


Mummified body found in foreclosed home..


British desperate for money are trying to sell their organs on Facebook!

Monday night ramblings

While the world was busy trying to find a missing airliner, lots of other stuff happened.

A wrap on a troubling, troublesome, and scary day in March.

A list of the possible scenarios that brought down flight 370 lacks a few notable theories, namely missiles and meteors. But hijackings are scary too..

Scary thoughts.. could Flight 370 have been the victim of a ripple in the fabric of spacetime?

We're Fuk-ed.. Radiation begins to hit the West Coast of the Untied States--despite all those experts who said no fear .. radiation is here. Of course it's also being called 'low level.' Low level radiation.. It's nice to put some happy adjectives before a dreadfully serious word, isn't it?? 

The children of Japan are fighting an invisible enemy.. 

Kiev's lawmaker threatens: Ukraine may have to go nuclear..

Diplomacy failing..

One result of the earthquakes: Ohio has halted gas drilling near Youngstown. Not that there's any connection................

For all your snow haters, get ready: Summers are going to be getting worse from here on.. scorching heat, dangerous weather, and miserable conditions..

Here's my parenting tip of the day: Children watch what you do, and say what you say. They emulate behavior.. they love and hate the same things you do. They have their own personalities, but the amount of sway that a parent has over the life of a child from the moment of birth on is amazing.. This YouTube video commercial presented displays great examples of how that could be a very bad thing.  Stay strong, parents. Your children--and the future of humanity--depend on it..

The mystery continues: Cell phones of passengers on Flight 370 are ringing

It has been a wild day of news concerning the missing Malaysian flight 370..
It's gone.. without a trace. Vanished.
Now at least ten countries are taking part in a search--and the area being looked at for evidence of a downed plane has expanded in reach.

There were signs earlier that rubbish and oil in the water may have been from Flight 370. However throughout the day, that possible door to an answer was closed.  Tonight the world scratches its collective head over the mystery, and families of hundreds of people are struggling and grieving the missing loved ones who were aboard the apparently doomed flight..

Conspiracy theories are running wild.
BEFORE IT'S NEWS is playing up 'hidden electronic weaponry' on the flight.. and 20 defense passengers on the flight.. Military-minded conservatives are rabble rousing on talk radio about the Iranian businessman who purchased tickets with cash for people who never boarded.. That plus the stolen passports of Italian businessmen saying they were alive and safe has made matters more than interesting. The United States is probing the terror possibility tonight..

Some rumors persist that the plane may have been turning around.. another report that the cockpit was actually contacted AFTER it was lost on radar.. Another rumor that North Korea was testing missiles and may have shot it down.. And even the possibility presented by Clyde Lewis that a meteor may be to blame.

All of these possibilities are only made possible because of the lack of clear answers.

If a terror plot brought down this plane, why the lack of claims of responsibility from any groups reveling in their success?

If the plane exploded .. why no debris? Why no oil? Why no evidence at all that a plane was destroyed?

Another rumor today that made its round online: The plane turned around and landed safely..Somewhere.

And this creepy aspect to the story is somewhat chilling: Calls are being made to passengers who were aboard Flight 370. The phones are ringing but no one is answering. If the phones are ringing, can't a cell phone company be able to track down the locations of the devices!? One would surely think in our age of surveillance, it would be possible.. Right?

And THIS from the GUARDIAN, only adding to the shroud of mystery that already exists:

China’s central propaganda department appears to have issued a directive to reporters and journalists not to “independently” comment on the flight, and maintain coverage in accordance with the official government news agency Xinhua.

So as the planet enters day four of this amazing mystery, we're left only to ponder over the possible outcomes that the passengers on board ...

One more piece of oddity: The United Nations is asking nuclear experts to check to see if there were any explosions at high altitudes which could account for destruction of the plane..

...conspiracy theories abound, the media tells us.
I wish the media would stop insulting intelligence by labeling 'conspiracy theory' on anything--very intelligent people are befuddled by the mystery presented by MH370's vanishing act. But theories, at this time, are all we have..

The mystery continues: Cell phones of passengers on Flight 370 are ringing

It has been a wild day of news concerning the missing Malaysian flight 370..
It's gone.. without a trace. Vanished.
Now at least ten countries are taking part in a search--and the area being looked at for evidence of a downed plane has expanded in reach.

There were signs earlier that rubbish and oil in the water may have been from Flight 370. However throughout the day, that possible door to an answer was closed.  Tonight the world scratches its collective head over the mystery, and families of hundreds of people are struggling and grieving the missing loved ones who were aboard the apparently doomed flight..

Conspiracy theories are running wild.
BEFORE IT'S NEWS is playing up 'hidden electronic weaponry' on the flight.. and 20 defense passengers on the flight.. Military-minded conservatives are rabble rousing on talk radio about the Iranian businessman who purchased tickets with cash for people who never boarded.. That plus the stolen passports of Italian businessmen saying they were alive and safe has made matters more than interesting. The United States is probing the terror possibility tonight..

Some rumors persist that the plane may have been turning around.. another report that the cockpit was actually contacted AFTER it was lost on radar.. Another rumor that North Korea was testing missiles and may have shot it down.. And even the possibility presented by Clyde Lewis that a meteor may be to blame.

All of these possibilities are only made possible because of the lack of clear answers.

If a terror plot brought down this plane, why the lack of claims of responsibility from any groups reveling in their success?

If the plane exploded .. why no debris? Why no oil? Why no evidence at all that a plane was destroyed?

A 'mid-air' disintegration?

THIS IN: Reuters: Malaysia plane probe narrows on mid-air disintegration - source »

KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Officials investigating the disappearance of a Malaysian airliner with 239 people on board are narrowing the focus of their inquiries on the possibility that it disintegrated mid-flight

That would explain a few things—such as the lack of any contact informing control that there were problems with flight MH370..

This would also account for the fact that the plane appears to have gone missing.. 

The unnamed source told Reuters that it appears the plane disintegrated at around 35,000 feet.

A few scenarios now will be explored, surely.. such as a mechanical issue.. terrorism. Or try this: A meteor. Don’t laugh.

This morning, Clyde Lewis posted an old link of someone claiming that flight 800 was a victim of a meteor. Lately we’ve had quite a few meteors and near-earth asteroids.. What if…?

At this point anything is possible.

Another angle being investigated: Interpol probing MORE suspect passports from the missing flight..
