Wall to wall HLN coverage for Kaylee, but crickets when a GOVERNOR goes missing..

Are you kidding me? Politico has an update(included in the previous link), stating the Governor's spokesman said Sanford was hiking in the Appalachians, presumably far, far away from the stench of this total-pile-of-horse-shit excuse. To those without Sanford's history, hiking in the mountains and writing a book or article (according to the First Lady, "to write something.." -- a much too general statement, implying the First Lady to Really Does Not Know what her husband is up to? Also, as pointed out here, Family Man Sanford's going to leave his wife and family to hike and write on Father's Day Weekend? ), might work if you completely ignore the fact he's suing the Federal Government over being forced to accept Stimulus money! And that he filed the necessary papers the day before he disappeared? Whatever the real reason is(and we might not ever know..), the excuse doesn't fly at all, period.

Some other possibilities:

*Vice - (Outside shot, not likely, although yet another Republican morals scandal would be sweet)
*Republican party strategery - (More likely, as he's the visible point man on a judicial attack on Obama's policies for the coming months, he will continue to gain visibility in the coming months and years. If the Republican gamble of saying "No" to the Stimulus succeeds and the Democrats fail miserably, he could be The Man in 2012. A Sanford/Palin ticket is a creepy-ass prospect, indeed.. )
*South Carolina strategery(and yeah, this is a strategy/treachery combo word. I like it, but didn't make it up..) - (Possible, but not likely. Sanford and his Lt. Governor don't like each other (to put it mildly), but Sanford's out of office in 2010, and it doesn't seem like he should care that much to go scheming out of state.)
*NWO treachery - (Fomenting civil discontent and federal destabilization--maybe.)
*Anti-NWO treachery - (Fomenting civil discontent and federal destabilization--maybe.)
*He's really a spy. - (Again, maybe. For who or what, I don't know. Governmental back channel organization is a structure with which I'm not familiar. But there were these quotes: "Neither the governor’s office nor the State Law Enforcement Division, which provides security for governors, has been able to reach Sanford after he left the mansion in a black SLED Suburban SUV, said Sen. Jake Knotts and three others familiar with the situation but who declined to be identified.
Sanford’s last known whereabouts were near Atlanta, where a mobile telephone tower picked up a signal from his phone, authorities said.")
And
"Chief Lloyd confirmed that my information is legitimate," Knotts said in a statement released early in the afternoon. "He shared my concerns" about succession of power in Sanford’s absence, the Lexington Republican said.
"I was recently made aware that Governor Sanford has frequently been eluding SLED agents and disappearing at odd times," Knotts said.
"As the head of our state, in the unfortunate event of a state of emergency or homeland security situation, Governor Sanford should be available at all times to the chief of SLED," the senator said."
*He's really Jack Bauer. - (Not likely, but that's not to say that maybe Sanford fantasizes he's Jack Bauer. It seems to be a consistent fantasy scenario favorite for Republicans everywhere, so why should the Governor be any different? Dovetails nicely with "Being kidnapped by terrorists/being tortured for information regarding Myrtle Beach.")
*Murdered; Replaced by a clone or robot - (Not likely, but if Sanford returns, holds a press conference, and keeps repeating "everything is fine, guhhhhhhhhhh, everything is fine, guhhhhhhhhhhh," then we'll re-visit this thought. Nice visual though, right?)

More scenarios from godlike. All this intrigue, and not a peep from any major media outlet. I wonder what that means..

Summer Soltice, Cancer New Moon

Barbara Hand Clow breaks it down nicely in her Astroflash column. Scroll down to "Summer Solstice: June 21, 2009." These are the energies in play for the summer months. Awareness of said energies allows easier movement through the cross current of events that play out in each of our lives, every day.

When it ain't yer time, it ain't yer time..

What a disaster this could have been! Take a look at the pictures, then be astounded by the low number of casualties. Amazing..

Awesome! Society's guilty of all seven!

Another great post from Robert Wilkinson at Aquarius Papers. Einstein's right; I was born within 20 years of Gandhi's death and I scarcely believe someone this evolved walked the earth. Rationally, I know he did, but life on earth certainly doesn't feel that way. It's hard to believe that we've fallen so far, devolved so quickly, in the 60 plus years he's been gone.

While our global situation is dire, it is not ir-reversible. Not yet, anyway..

Typical Florida, typical Missouri..

Florida.

Missouri.

Foghat? Really?

Jupiter Retrograde in Aquarius, June, 2009

Wow! Does this resonate with anyone else? Robert Wilkinson knows his stuff, and writes about it well. He's thorough, entertaining, and never condescending. Great reading for anyone interested in Astrology. Bookmark it here.

Dear God; don't eat the fries!

Well, fuck. I really hope this isn't true.. If you haven't been to What Does It Mean before, the headlines will tell you all you need to know. Some of the events they've forecasted have come true. Some haven't. Always an interesting read, though.

The Power of One..

I wasn't intending to post tonight, but after running across this amazingly.. joyful video, I felt compelled. (Via, godlikeproductions, of course.) It starts with The Weird Dude at the outdoor festival dancing alone. He's awkward and a really bad dancer, but there's something about his energy that works its magic on the crowd. He's unashamedly a freak, and he doesn't care who knows it. He dances with no inhibition and the primitive, rarely accessed chord that lives in everyone just.. resonated.

The event breaks down into interesting increments, and you can actually witness the change in energy dynamic by watching the timer while watching the video. In the first minute, he's joined by another man and then another, but the energy is essentially just him. At 1:12, the video changes dynamic with the arrival of the first group of people, and critical mass has begun. By 1:20, the mass of the group's combined enthusiasm becomes apparent, and everyone can tell that something is happening..

Between 1:20 and almost 2 minutes, the crowd, the enthusiasm, and the energy grows quickly, with people actively running to join this moment they're all witnessing. At almost exactly the 2 minute mark, the event blooms, and most people within the camera's view are participating. Almost everyone in sight is completely transfixed by, or involved with this energy, this sequence, begun by One Man. And everyone knows it! At 2:52, a girl asks, "How did he do that? How did he do that?" At 3:01, a man says "That one guy.. started the whole dance party!" And then, the video ends. Total running time: 3:06! I'm still smiling after watching the video three times.

Aside from the linear breakdown, this video is amazing on a number of levels. It's great feel-good entertainment(weirdo starts dance frenzy), it illustrates the 100th monkey effect(true or not, a variant happened here), the viewer is witness to someone At Play, there's a giant conglomeration of Happy, Aquarian Energy, and we all can see a glimpse into the power that one person can have by positively influencing the world and events surrounding them. Please watch the video, and the smiles will come.

Keep on dancin', weird dude. I'm glad you're here, and thanks for the charge.

Big words and concepts

Abound here. The laboratory process set-up made my eyes glaze over, but overall, a pretty good article. I hate to cut and paste, but here's the money paragraph:

The research, described in the June 4 issue of Nature, involves a bizarre intertwining between two pairs of vibrating ions (charged atoms) such that the pairs vibrate in unison, even when separated in space. Each pair of ions behaves like two balls connected by a spring (see figure), vibrating back and forth in opposite directions. Familiar objects that vibrate this way include pendulums and violin strings.

Look around you. Could your interpersonal connections have a quantum connection? Are you "bonded" with your people? Are you "on the same wavelength?" Do you "vibe" with them?

"As above; so below," or more appropriately, "As below; so above."

Sweet

Dressed up, overdubbed, interactively scripted conspiracy theory about the Large Hadron Collider(LHC) ala The Matrix. Also included: Bible quotes, the Nephilim, Nibiru, the "debunking" of both the existence of the "God Particle" and the danger of black holes being created during LHC's working process, and of course, Star Gates.

Not even close to Dark Side of the Moon/Wizard of Oz, but a clever format for theory delivery.

I think this is pretty interesting

and more than a little bit troubling.. I'm not sure it's remotely enforceable, but it looks like they're going to try.

"Small," singled-out pronouncements like this disturb me. This is big news! Where are the networks? Where's the co-ordinated media blitz? ..But.. Wouldn't public knowledge of this bit of Space News freak at least a couple of people OUT? The whole process is too full of intrigue and senseless-ness to be fully kosher.

And it re-enforces the possibility that Crazy, Lying Nancy, may indeed, be correct. Woo-woo's everywhere would cheer! Then they would realize that this is bad news..

Who says banks aren't looking out for the "little guys?"

Holy freakin' Crap! Now, tell me again why blacks don't trust white-owned corporations?

The little boy returns..

Possibly.. El Nino's last "tantrum years" were 1997-98, the strongest El Nino ever recorded. Remember the landslides? Remember all those coastal California homes sliding down hills and sometimes into the ocean?

On top of everything else, here comes the rain, again..

Is it because they're tired of replacing your lost cell phones?

Why are cell phone companies researching the pineal gland? Short YouTube, just three and a half minutes. Check it out..

I heart aliens, especially if they're reading this right now..

After all, the invasion is imminent. Brazil seems to be the nexus. All this according to Top Secret Airspace, my new favorite blog. With paragraphs like this ("it appears a race in the nearby Andromeda Galaxy has 'discovered' us. These 'unmanned' surveillance discs have made their way home at some point and reported back on our existence. The floodgate has opened.
Let me predict: Sightings of UFOs by will be unprecedented over the next few weeks. We are at a minute to midnight in terms of ending our isolation. Open unilateral contact is months, weeks, days or even hours away."), what's not to love?

Another favorite story here. With such a kick ass headline, why bother backing up (or even explaining) the claim? And no, it's not that I don't believe in the possibility of UFO's, I just want a little meat with my wildly speculative theories. But sometimes, I love the Weekly World News type prose that this guy(I'm assuming) writes sooo well! What do you think? Did God evaporate Air France flight 447?

Happy Birthday, Anderson Cooper!

CNN's ultimate news fox turned 42 today! Congratulations, and I hope he has many, many more birthdays to come! Personal note: Anderson, if you ever make it to Branson, stop by the corporate headquarters for your birthday gift! I, I mean, it, will be waiting!

New Solar Cycle prediction

Peaking May, 2013. It's supposed to be the mildest solar cycle since 1928. It's been two years since a big solar flare, so NASA's predictions are just that: predictions. We shall see. And if the web bots are correct, we shall see soon..

Link to Half Past Human.

Behold the Puke Ray!

I'll take this over a taser any day! Imagine, subduing a criminal with non-lethal force, AND making them vomit! Win/win!

Ya think?

Evangelical man says Christians owe gays an apology. For what? The shame, the abuse, the rejection and alienation, the destruction of their souls.. stuff like that. Thank you, Mr. Gushee. Now if you can convince the other 30 million of you to follow suit, maybe we could all concentrate on more important issues, like short and long term survival on the planet, maybe?

Maybe it's bad, maybe it's good..

Great find by Robert over at Aquarius Papers. Concise, illustrative story as to why it's important to flow with the events of your everyday and not assign a "good" or "bad" to events until a later, clearer time..
