Interesting Opinion of the Law

Officer Wesley Cheeks has an interesting opinion of the law, and here I thought you had to be half-way intelligent to be a police officer. From World Net Daily: SOMETHING IN THE AIR Town-hall clash! Cop vs. Obama 'Joker' poster Officer threatens arrest: This ain't America no more




Description from video

This video was taken on Tuesday, August 25th, 2009 at Rep. Jim Moran's (D-VA) Town Hall meeting on Obama Deathcare (Howie Dean was there too) held at South Lakes High School in Reston, VA.

Many people were left outside when the school filled to capacity. School security officer Wesley Cheeks, Jr. did not like my anti-Obamacare poster which used one of the gone-viral "Joker" graphics.

When I said to Officer Cheeks, "This used to be America!" his response was: "It ain't no more, OK?"

I feel sorry for Officer Cheeks. He, like many African-Americans are being played by the racist Obama administration. Wake up people. They used to want you only for your votes, but now with the huge hispanic illegals pouring in they won't even need you for that. Watch those inner city abortion clinics get stimulated though. Democrat and church leaders sure seem to have time and money to build those.

Google "margaret sangar black children eugenics" (no quotes) and find out what's REALLY behind those Democrat abortuariums run by Planned Parenthood. Democrat eugenicists like Rahm Emanuel and his brother Zeke "Dr. Mengele" Emanuel and John Holdren and George Soros and Mr. Abortion himself, Barack Obama can't kill enough black babies. The ovens are fired up. Wake up people.

Satan is in da house.

Interesting Read

I thought this was an interesting read: Moonlight Dance with Russian Subs Last Night? Deep Atlantic Threat off East Coast under Cover of Hurricane Bill.

If you can get past the jman stuff it is very, very interesting.

Comes from Steve Quayle's Q-factor site. Interesting site, to me anyway.

Pick-Me-Up Aerosmith, Please!!!

Ahhhh, what a great pick-me-up.


Who Can Say?

Who can say why?
A dark one has returned.
Firstly noticed by the mighty Floppy.
Hidden from even my eyes.
His appearance marred by a dream.
Who can say when?
What is this, anything to do with me?
A spousal request, then a punishment?
A serious torture of an audience with the Nightghost?
A part of myself that comes when cornered?
Shows a miscreant the price for disobedience.
Strangely, I wonder why?
Having never seen, but struggled against.
Never invaded my waking dreams, only mine beloved.
He, nevertheless, has marked my left shin with his design.
Vaguely, I remember not a thing.
Why has he returned?
Who Can Say?

Are You Freakin' Kidding Me

I'm tired and can't seem to get any sleep at night and it has gotten worse. I feel like i'm supposed to be doing something, but damned if I know what it is and then there is the blue pyramid that shows up, it seems, on a daily basis. I sometimes think it was all a dream, then one walk in to my kitchen and that thought goes away, sort of like when I get to thinking that maybe i'm something a little better than I am, then I walk into a room and look in the mirror and that thought flies away, LOL. Interesting design for a building though.

Beast of Busco

This is a neat legend from where I live. This giant turtle was always near and dear to me. My Mom used to go to Churubusco quite a bit when I was young. She would play bingo at the Legion. There was another legend here that I am going to try and find out more information on. The other legend is of "green eyes", supposedly a farmer whose tractor had turned over on him and pinned him in the local creek where he drowned. To this day I have heard that if you go down that road, "hand" road to be exact, he will appear either on the road in front of your car or if you stop and look over the bridge you will see his green eyes in the creek. Even if you see this ghost on the road you will only see his green eyes. I had heard, from a teacher that a student, who went down the road, was chased by the "eyes" and he never was the same. The teacher knew the student, but would not reveal his name. I have gone to the road at night a few times and even stopped, but not have, to date, seen anything unusual. You can view the "Beast of Busco" legend on Wikipedia here: Beast of Busco

The Story of Oscar

By GARY KAUFFMAN

"One man's obsessive search for a giant turtle ended just like the fable — the turtle won"

(The following is taken from Northern Indiana Perspective.)


Aside from Godzilla, few animals have made an impact on a town the way Oscar did on Churubusco. Oscar, you might guess, was something fierce, like a grizzly bear, a wolverine or at least a Doberman Pinscher. But take a drive through the little town of Churubusco and you'll quickly realize that Oscar was a turtle. In fact, Churubusco is obsessed with the turtle motif — a turtle guards the entrance to the park, adorns the town's letterhead and is popularized on the signs of many businesses. But Oscar wasn't some box turtle you might crush on the highway. Oscar was the Godzilla of turtles, a turtle known as The Beast of Busco.
Churubusco, located 15 miles north of Fort Wayne, boasts a population of 1,800. In an odd twist of fate, the Indian chief who lived in the area when the first white settler came was named Little Turtle. A post office made Churubusco an official town in 1847. But for the first 100 years of its existence 'Busco was virtually unknown. Then Oscar came to town. Reports claimed Oscar's shell could have been used as a dining room table. His neck was likened to a stove pipe and his head was the size of a child's. "One report said it was as big as the top of a car, and in the 1940s, the top of a car was pretty good sized," says Chuck Mathieu, president of the Churubusco town council and manager of Egolf's IGA. Mathieu was alive then, but just barely, so he never saw Oscar. The trouble was, the number of people who didn't see Oscar greatly outnumbered those who did. Of the people who saw The Beast of Busco, only one man was sure of what he'd seen. That man was Gale Harris, who owned the property containing Fulk Lake, which Oscar called home. Some people weren't sure about Harris' report of this enormous turtle; many others simply ridiculed him. In March 1949, Harris launched a massive effort to track down the beast and display him to the world. "He wanted to prove to people that he hadn't imagined it," says Viv Rosswurm, managing editor of the Churubusco News.
The search began during a lull in major news. Editors across the nation latched onto the story, splashing the search in headlines from coast to coast. Soon people in New York and Chicago were as interested in Harris' search as the people in Churubusco. Ultimately, illness and bad luck forced Harris to call off his search before finding Oscar. The turtle was never seen again. But far from dying away, the legend of Oscar grew. Probably more people believe in Oscar now than did in 1949. "I think most of them want to believe," Mathieu says. "They think there was something there, although it may not have been the actual size. I'm sure as the years have gone on, the turtle has grown." Rosswurm knows the people of Churubusco believe in Oscar. "Especially the old timers. They all knew somebody who saw it. They're pretty protective about the fact that it was real." There are even some new theories about the giant turtle. "There are those who think it was a hoax," Rosswurm says. "But you probably won't find them in Churubusco." Churubusco quickly latched onto the turtle theme, starting the Turtle Days Festival in 1950. It is still celebrated every June. Turtle Days has all the traditional features such as rides, games, food stands, a merchants tent, a parade and entertainment every night. But the highlight is the Turtle Races, a four-hour event as turtle after turtle is eliminated until one emerges as a winner. These turtles, though, are the size of a dessert plate, not a dining room table. Merchants also recognized a good thing when they saw it. Even today, a shopping mall is called Turtle Town Plaza. A car dealership goes by the name Oscar's Autos, with a picture of a turtle. Even the town government adorns its official logo with a picture of a happy turtle.
"The town did balk, though, about naming the school team the ‘Snappers' or ‘Turtles,'" Rosswurm says. Instead, they became the Churubusco Eagles. An eagle is the most important symbol of the United States, stirring feelings national pride. But in Churubusco, it is nothing compared to the turtle. With shows like Unsolved Mysteries, Fact or Fiction and Real TV, we may not get too excited about the search for a big turtle. But in 1949, it was a major news item.
In March of that year, the search began for Oscar, The Beast of Busco, a turtle so giant you could set out dinner for eight on his back, with a mouth so large he could eat a soccer ball. You might think this was a story that interested a few yokels down at the local brew dispensary. But radio
and newspapers across the nation fell in love with the story. Some European papers even picked it up. The story began in July 1948 when two men from Churubusco, Ora Blue and Charley Wilson, went fishing in Fulk Lake on Gale Harris' property. When they finished, they told Harris about a giant turtle they'd seen. According to Churubusco resident Rusty Reed, a turtle expert, the original report was a hoax. He bases that on a conversation he had with Blue.
"Charley Wilson was known to tell tall tales and Gale Harris was known to believe anything," Reed says. So when the newspaper reported the sighting of a large turtle on Harris' farm, the two fishermen enjoyed a big laugh. Except that Harris now claimed to have seen the turtle himself, and it was every bit as big or bigger than Wilson and Blue had reported.
This wasn't the first time a large turtle had been sighted in Fulk Lake. The original owner of the property, Oscar Fulk, claimed to have spotted a giant turtle in 1898. Another sighting came in 1914. During the first days of March 1949, Harris saw the turtle again. A group of townspeople suggested capturing it, and according to newspaper reports they just about caught Oscar on the first day. A trap of stakes and chicken wire penned the beast in about 10 feet of water. A movie (now apparently vanished) showed the turtle swimming just below the surface. But you don't catch a legend that easily. Oscar flexed some muscle and waltzed out of the trap. On March 7, the Columbia City newspaper reported the search. The next day, reporters from Fort Wayne showed up. One was a young reporter from United Press International, who sent the story across the wires. Timing is everything, and the timing was perfect for such a story. With America between wars and all the Nazi war criminals tried, Americans were ready for a happy story. On March 9, newspapers across the nation ran the story of the giant turtle. The Fort Wayne newspapers, though, derived more enjoyment poking fun at Churubusco for believing in such a beast. They jokingly named him "Oscar" (perhaps after Oscar Fulk) and "The Beast of Busco." The names stuck. Harris didn't find any of it particularly amusing. In fact, his reputation was being questioned, so he began searching in earnest for the turtle. It was then that the whole affair took on a circus-like atmosphere. On March 12, 200 people traveled to Harris' farm to watch the search. The next day, bumper-to-bumper traffic wound around Churubusco to the farm while planes flew overhead, hoping for a glimpse of Oscar. By March 14, 3,000
visitors including on-the-spot media reporters trampled across Harris' property. It soon became impossible to tell the truth from fiction of what was happening in the search. "It was a three-ring circus," Reed says. "Reporters were just making up stuff." Harris and local garage mechanic Kenneth Leitch put their heads together developing ingenious traps to capture
Oscar. Harris created a "periscope" that allowed him to peer into the murky water, hoping for a glimpse of Oscar. Later reports say Harris nearly ruined his eyesight from the long hours of squinting through it. On March 18, Harris somehow obtained a full diving suit, and Woodrow Rigsby donned it to walk along the bottom to try to roust Oscar. But the helmet leaked and Rigsby called off the search. By March 20, 400 cars per hour came to the Harris home. Another diver, Walter Johnson, spent 2½ hours in the lake, but gave up because he kept sinking chest deep into the mucky bottom. In April, excitement flared when two Indianapolis men claimed they had captured Oscar. But it didn't take long to discover that what they had was a sea turtle they'd purchased in an attempt to cash in on the Oscar craze. But that gave someone an idea. Soon a sexy female sea turtle was delivered in an attempt to lure Oscar out of the water. That didn't work, either — possibly because The Beast of Busco may have been an Oscarette rather than an Oscar.
Public interest waned by May as Oscar continued to elude searchers. But Harris' interest stayed as intense as ever. He continued various capturing techniques, including dynamite charges to "shock" Oscar to the surface. In September, Harris pulled out all the stops. He drove his tractor to the lake and hooked up a sump pump. He was going to pump water out of that lake until Oscar had nowhere to hide. That revived interest in The Beast of Busco and the crowds returned. This time Harris charged admission to pay for the pumping and to offset crops lost under trampling feet. Harris burned up 2,000 gallons of gas as he pumped water day and night, reducing the seven-acre lake to a mere acre. Thousands of people, including senators and celebrities, gathered each weekend hoping to see the world famous turtle. On Oct. 13, about 200 people got their wish as Oscar leaped from the water to try to catch a duck used as a lure.
The end was in sight and Harris was ready to be vindicated. But luck favored Oscar rather than Harris. The mucky lake bottom was unstable, making pumping hard. Finally the pump wore out and the tractor broke down. A crane was brought in to dredge the lake. The inevitable capture of Oscar dragged on for weeks. By December, enough water remained to still hide Oscar.
Then appendicitis felled Harris. During his convalescence in the hospital, the weather turned nasty, but brought rain instead of snow. By the time Harris was well enough to mount the search again, the lake had refilled. The search was over. Harris' health and money were gone. The following year, he sold the farm, including the turtle traps. In 1994, film maker Terry Doran made a documentary entitled "The Hunt for Oscar" which highlighted the search. Curiously, though, no one has searched for Oscar since 1949. And there have been no sightings. The farm's
current owner doesn't take kindly to strangers asking about the lake. But who really wants to find Oscar now? The legend is a lot more fun than the real turtle ever would have been. Town council president Chuck Mathieu believes that's true. "Had they actually found the turtle," he says, "I don't know that it'd be as interesting." We'll probably never know whether a large turtle named Oscar really existed in Churubusco in 1949. So now our question becomes, Is it possible that he could have existed? The answer, according to turtle expert Rusty Reed, is yes — although probably not quite like the legend describes. Reed lives in rural Churubusco, and until recently bred alligator snapping turtles — larger-than-life versions of their Northern Indiana cousins, the common snapping turtles. The world record for a common snapper is
70 pounds, with the average at around 40 pounds. The largest recorded alligator snapper weighed 316 pounds. Back when trappers were trolling swamps for alligator snappers, it wasn't unusual to find them at 250 pounds in the wild. Reed currently owns the third largest captive alligator snapper, weighing in at a man-sized 165 pounds. Most significantly for believers in Oscar, it's head is 9 inches in diameter and its jaws expand to the size of child's head — virtually identical to reports about Oscar. So Reed believes that if Oscar existed, he had to be an alligator snapping turtle. But he wouldn't expect to find even a normal-sized alligator snapper roaming around Churubusco. Alligator snappers prefer warmer climates, and live almost exclusively in the Mississippi River drainage areas of Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Missouri. None has ever been recorded as far north as Northern Indiana — unless you count Oscar. But Reed says a 1985 study revealed that alligator snappers have a tendency to wander north as they age.
Since they also gain weight with age — about a pound a year — the person conducting the study found some of the largest alligator snappers to the north of their normal range. "So if an alligator snapping turtle made it this far north, it might be large, possibly the largest ever,"
Reed says. But not as large as a dining room table, probably not even the size of a card table. In his study of The Beast of Busco, Reed finds no reference to anyone ever seeing the entire turtle out of the water. That means the most anyone saw was the head, neck and part of the shell. Alligator turtles have heads way out of proportion to their bodies. Reed believes the enormous head led people to overestimate the shell size. "If you saw one of my turtles stick its head out of the water, you'd say its shell size would have to be six feet in diameter," Reed says. His 165-pounder has a oval shell that is 26 inches long and less than that wide. Although Reed has studied the Oscar phenomenon, he won't come right out and say whether he believes it was true or not. He prefers to let people draw their own conclusions. But Harris' massive efforts to find Oscar may hold a clue. "How far is a guy going to go to prove it if it isn't true?" Reed wonders. If Oscar did exist, what happened to him? There are several theories. One is that he found some underground channels, swam from the lake and emerged elsewhere. Reed finds that one farfetched, since the lake bottom is several feet of muck and the Churubusco area has no underground channels. Another theory, the one Reed believes is most likely, is that Oscar suffocated at the mucky bottom of the lake trying to escape the draining effort. But there is one other possibility — Oscar is still alive, living contentedly out of the public eye at Fulk Lake. "They can live for maybe 400 years," Reed says. "And they will spend countless years in one spot, given sufficient food." That's good enough to keep the legend alive for another 50 years.

Healthcare Shmelthcare

I have been watching the YouTube coverage (LOL) of the healthcare "battle on the streets and townhalls". LOL, I have heard this music before and do you want to know something really funny. Pardon my grammar, but it ain't never gonna pass. I don't care if everyone, who we see, coming out against it were to drop their whole argument and just stop doing anything about it, it still would not be passed. It is a joke on us all. The companies who provide the research, doctors and everyone involved would lose money, and I am inclined to think that would include Wall Street. Don't get me wrong, I am not against anyone making money, the government and the fed do it all the time, LOL. I just know that it will never pass. Big companies, Wall Street, Medicare/Medicaid, Veterans hospitals, HMO's, I guess the list goes on and on and "all of THE sudden" (LOL, sorry Family Guy, couldn't resist, LOL) a single payer plan is going to ruin the medical industry, OH Yes this is what will do it. What a joke!! If you ask me it might get rid of the other crap and improve the lot of us all. I have seen show, after show of how bad veteran care is and how, seemingly, great the plan for congress is, well lets just go with the single payer plan and do it for everyone, I am sure this would insure that the congress will watch and improve it. Other than that this just seems to be more of the show that we get from the crooks in charge and I am tired of re-runs, LOL! Just my humble opinion.

Cover Yourself

Cover Yourself.
Glory of the nations.
Sat in satin and lace.
Shame of the kingdoms.
Sitting in sackcloth and disgrace.
Naked no more, my mighty Adonai.
Let us don our clothes.
The Temple and the Tower.
The way.
The truth.
The light.
These are the clothes we shall adorn.
The coverings we need to be warm.
The T and T of wonder and blessing.
We are all asleep, naked, and vulnerable.
First we cover our beloved,
then shall we cover ourselves.
Peace will then be our dine.
Wealth and prosperity will be our lot.
Yet, not our desire.
How did you know, so keenly, how I am feeling?
I desire the beloved covered first.

Doorway to the War Temple

LOL! This was an interesting article: NASA Images Reveals a "Doorway" Structure at The Daily Galaxy. Very interesting and worth a read to anyone interested in this stuff.
I remember Richard Hoagland talking with Art Bell on Coast to Coast Am about the Martian moons, Phobos and Deimos, and citing the structures there, long before the Buzz Aldrin Monolith talk. I remember they also had some excellent photos shown, but just can't locate them now, with a very intriguing structure on one of the moons. It concerned a puppet show that showed, when it was on TV, that very same structure, very cool, but I can't remember what it was called. I am looking for both the pics and puppet show and when I find them I will update this little article, LOL.
