THURSDAY MARCH 14 2013



Another piece of information is making its way around the world concerning Bergoglio.. now Francis: There are rumors that he was complicit with horrible crimes during the "Dirty War" in 1976.. According to allegations, Bergoglio hid from a visiting delegation of the Inter-American Human Rights Commission the dictatorship's political prisoners. Bergoglio was hiding them in nothing less than his holiday home in an island called El Silencio in the River Plate..

CNN describes his precedent setting name..called 'stunning choice'.. Since he is the first Francis, he would not be known as Francis I until a second Pope chooses the same name.. Therefore, Bergoglio will only be known as Francis..

The pope already breaking from tradition

CNN reports this tonight:
The new pope then quickly made another kind of history, breaking with tradition in his first public act before the 150,000 people packed into St. Peter's Square. Rather than bless the crowd first, he asked them to pray for him.

"Let us say this prayer, your prayer for me, in silence," he told the cheering crowd shortly after being elected by cardinals in what was apparently the fifth round of voting on the second day of the conclave.

The willingness by Francis to dispense with tradition was interpreted by a Vatican spokesman as a sign he will be willing to chart his own path in other ways.

"We have a pope who probably upset some people tonight by not following the formula," the Rev. Tom Rosica said.

Petrus Romanus fulfilled? Or grasping at straws?

Maybe he didn't pick Peter the Roman as his name.. But Cardinal Bergoglio is the son of Italians and a Jesuit, something that experts on the prophecy of the popes believe are the two most important elements to show that Pope Francis is the final pontiff..
But there is a large sentiment beginning online that the entire prophecy is a hoax.. That the experts in it are grasping at straws.. That this pope is just another of many more to come.
Nothing to fear?
Perhaps..
But remember this: Francis chose his name after St Francis of Assisi. Assisi was also St Francesco di Pietro di Bernardone.. Pietro..
Peter..

But Pope Francis mentioned that the cardinals went to the end of the world,'or earth,' to find him.. So will we find ourselves with him at the end of it?? Will the prophecy just fall away into the trash heap of religious lure and gossip? Or is this plain Pope, who came out in simple white attire, fulfill what many fear he will.....being the head of a church during the end times for us all?
Expect lots of rumor and fear.. And religion and piety.
Francis I is a humble man with a faithful plan.. He won't be soft spoken..but will anyone listen?

The 'end of the world' or 'end of the earth'

The devil is in the translation.. Here is how the Washington POST reported the Pope's quote today:!
The choice, on the second day of deliberations by a papal conclave, opened a direct connection to the Southern Hemisphere at a critical juncture when secularism and competing faiths are depleting the church’s ranks around the world and dysfunction is eroding its authority in Rome.

“The duty of the conclave was to appoint a bishop of Rome,” said Bergoglio, who took the name Francis, the first pope in history to do so. “And it seems to me that my brother cardinals went to fetch him at the end of the world. But here I am.”

The man who doesn't want to be pope




It's also being reported that Francis I did not want to be Pope..

Along with his age, he also only has One long, as it was removed when he was younger..

Despite many people believing that the Catholic Church would pick a progressive pope, this Argentinian certainly will not be applauded by those who are more progressive and liberal within the religion.. Look no further handstands on the controversial abortion issue, he is much more hard-line than many popes have been..

Maybe he isn't Petus Romanus but something he said is already being sent around the world

Pope Francis I said: They went to the end of the world to find me

Expect to see this statement being published on millions of websites before the day is over, obviously including this one..

Tongue-in-cheek, prophetic words, or merely a sentence with no meaning? We will all know soon, for better or worse..

A 'stunned' Francis I

FIRST AP DISPATCH READS:
AP: A stunned-looking Bergoglio shyly waved to the crowd of tens of thousands of people who gathered in St. Peter's Square, marveling that the cardinals had had to look to "the end of the earth" to find a bishop of Rome.

20 years later after the perfect storm: Where were you during the Blizzard of 93? I was 13 years old, enjoying every moment of the storm, living through a blizzard. I don't want to brag, but early on in my life I was a weather and news enthusiast.. and I realized that I was living through history--even at 13--I was able to recognize that this event probably would not happen again in my lifetime.. three foot snow drifts later, it didn't.. I'd love to know if you remember where you were during the original 'superstorm' .. email me at Bryan@horrorreport.com..

Two years later: The great Japan earthquake and tsunami.. It seems like just yesterday, these news events and our collective lives can go by so fast.. two years later, we still see the horror .. the wall of water, the debris being taken along with lives--and the unfolding and still slowly developing nuclear nightmare at Fukushima, regardless of what officials in Japan tell us..

Mark Burnett on THE BIBLE: "Weird things happened during filming".. Burnett speculated: "We had a snake wrangler every day on the set. I mean, we've got a couple hundred people shooting, and we can't afford to have people getting bitten by snakes. Every day, this guy would find a snake or maybe two snakes, and remove them. [But] on the day of the crucifixion … he found 48 cobras and vipers hidden within the rocks around the cross" Tension and war games: South Korea and US practice..

New Prada shoes to fill: Conclave is in session

Papal conclave begins.. Cardinals enter..
When will the white smoke billow? When will the cardinals vote? When will a new Pope be chosen, and when we build a mote?

Thousands crowd cardinals at last mass before the conclave began..

While you're waiting for Peter the Roman, or Petrus Romanus, to step out from behind the shadows in catican City, you may want to take a quick trip there.. it will only takes seconds.. And yes, folks, there is a webcam set up.. you can watch the Vatican live online .. chances are the webcam won't show you the new pope, nor will you be able to see the white smoke, but you can somewhat pretend you're there..

BEER GOOGLES. NOT GOOGLE GOGGLES.


Keep your beer goggles on. Just don't wear Google glasses. A dive bar in Seattle has become the first place to ban the Google Glasses..

This is what will greet patrons:
The 5 Point's Glass ban logo.
And even though the article sort of makes a mockery of the owner and the bar, the points he makes are valid and …quite frankly, I agree wholeheartedly.
I understand a public place is not one where you go to find privacy.. but there’s something different about a dark and smoky bar. Well I guess not smoky, since cigs are banned in places, too.. but you catch my drift.
With Google Glass, all is known.. all is live.. all is streamed. No secrets.
Let’s keep some places sorta private? Please? Let’s keep the dive bar on AnyCorner, USA, a little under the radar? Without that, there’d be no place left to go!

The fresh Beeb of Bel-Air: Will Smith to the rescue of Justin Bieber!


It's all just getting .. weird
This is a rather creepy photo of Justin Bieber.  The UK DAILY MAIL has it in their story regarding the rise, and now seemingly quickly falling star of Bieber… The DAILY MAIL reports,  Teen pop idol Justin Bieber turned to Hollywood megastar Will Smith for support and advice amid the chaos surrounding his UK tour last week, The Mail on Sunday can reveal. The Men in Black actor - himself a former child star - became a mentor and ‘father figure’ to the singer as what should have been a triumphant tour was rocked by a string of public relations disasters. Smith was in London chaperoning his own 14-year-old son Jaden – one of three support acts on Bieber’s sell-out ‘Believe’ tour. This is all just getting weird, isn’t it? Justin Bieber is weird already.. but the latest strangeness surrounding his collapse, his gas mask, and his attempt at an erotic tweet of himself in the hospital…. is all just creepy. He is crashing and burning.. the kid that grew up on YouTube and became a name across the world… isn’t handling fame well, lately. But who would, really? Maybe the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is exactly what he needs..  SO Will Smith, it’s all up to you. The future of the Beeb—and quite possibly the world—is in your hands.

It was just another Saturday night..


It was A Saturday night scare, courtesy of space

There is a comet in the Western sky tonight. That’s not the scary part.
The scary part is this: An asteroid, only discovered six days ago, is passing relatively close to earth. And it’s as big as a city block—something that would have done a bit of hardcore damage on this planet should it have been heading this way. Luckily for us it’s not, as the Saturday night beer is still cold at your local watering hole.
An asteroid as big as a city block shot relatively close by the Earth on Saturday, the latest in a series of visiting celestial objects including an asteroid the size of a bus that exploded over Russia last month, injuring 1,500.
Discovered just six days ago, the 140-metre long Asteroid 2013 ET passed about 950,000 km from Earth at 3:30 p.m. ET. That’s about 21/2 times as far as the moon, fairly close on a cosmic yardstick.
“The scary part of this one is that it’s something we didn’t even know about,” Patrick Paolucci, president of Slooh Space Camera, said during a webcast featuring live images of the asteroid from a telescope in the Canary Islands.
Moving at a speed of about 41,843 km/h, the asteroid could have wiped out a large city if it had impacted the Earth, added Slooh telescope engineer Paul Cox.
It could have wiped out a city.
And even more alarming, it’s something no one knew about until only a few days ago.. hours, really.
This seems to be the year of the asteroid, the comet, and the ‘disaster.’ So the Mayan were wrong. December 21 ended nothing. But.. what if it began everything?
