An unidentified flying object over Denver on Monday has aviation experts scratching their heads. As first reported by 9News, the object did not appear on radar in the area, but nearly collided with a private jet at 8,000 feet above Cherry Creek.

What do you think?

A local father is furious that his 4th grade son was told by his teacher to write a note saying "I am willing to give up some of my constitutional rights in order to be safer or more secure."

What's your reaction to hearing about this? Do you think it's an appropriate lesson?

Do they even know what constitutional rights are?

So why would a teach tell a class full of nine and ten-year-olds to write a letter on his willingness to give them up?

Mind control is possible! Researchers developed a brain-to-brain communication technique that is non-invasive and allows a human to control a rat’s tail. To build this brain-to-brain interface, the team combined an EEG brain-computer interface and a focused ultrasound (FUS). The human thought was detected by the EGG, transmitted to the computer and then delivered to the motor cortex of the rat via the FUS.

When you see blood oozing from a cut in your finger, you might assume that it is red because of the iron in it, rather as rust has a reddish hue. But the presence of the iron is a coincidence. The red colour arises because the iron is bound in a ring of atoms in haemoglobin called porphyrin and it's the shape of this structure that produces the colour. 

Just how red your haemoglobin is depends on whether there is oxygen bound to it. When there is oxygen present, it changes the shape of the porphyrin, giving the red blood cells a more vivid shade.

Guards have swept through communal cellblocks at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp and moved the inmates into one-man cells in an attempt to end a hunger strike that began in February. "Some detainees resisted with improvised weapons, and in response, four less-than-lethal rounds were fired. There were no serious injuries to guards or detainees," Navy Captain Robert Durand said in a news release on Saturday. http://aje.me/119WdzW

On April 3rd Chechnya’s tallest building, a luxury hotel, caught fire and burned for 29 hours before finally being put out. The building is completely destroyed, however it did not collapse. This raises many questions as to how World Trade Center 7 could have collapsed on 9/11 with only small fires on a couple of floors.

Looking at the photo taken of yesterdays blaze and comparing it to the WTC 7 photo taken on 9/11, we see two very different situations. In one we see a large portion of the building on fire and the fire appears to have been burning for some time. In another, we see almost no fire at all. Yet the building with little to no fire collapsed at free fall speed into its own footprint in just 7 hours. The 29 hour blaze of Chechnya’s building left the building still standing. This should raise some interesting questions as to why WTC 7 collapsed so quickly, or even why it collapsed at all.

I wanted to end this one off with one of my favorite WTC 7 videos. Although it doesn’t go into every shocking detail that proves WTC 7 could not have collapsed by fire and was in fact a controlled demolition, it gets straight to an obvious point that doesn’t take a scientist to figure out.

I would suggest that anyone who hasn’t researched WTC 7 yet, spend a bit of time checking it out. WTC 7 also fell on 9/11 and was not struck by any planes. For me, it was another nail in the coffin to an already obvious truth.

I also would like to be clear that this isn’t just about making a point, but also about the fact that there are some serious questions that have been raised about 9/11 and the US government has refused to answer or re-investigate. As a society we must stop negating any real questions by calling them conspiracies, and instead open our minds up to the fact that there is some big time denial going on here about an event that has drastically changed the way our world functions.

The manual, "Deepwater Horizon MC252, Vessels of Opportunity Near Shore Oil Recovery Groups, Vessel Captains Hazard Communication" (available here) demonstrates apparent contradictions between BP's official written warnings about the oil dispersant, on the one hand, and its statements to the public on the other. The discrepancies pertain to verbal claims that exposure to COREXIT, the dispersant selected by BP and approved by the EPA to treat the oil, was safe, and the health problems actually associated with COREXIT listed in a BP manual.
Today, GAP and the Louisiana Environmental Action Network (LEAN) sent a joint letter to British Petroleum (BP) America's Ombudsman Program, seeking an explanation for a resource manual provided by an anonymous source that details health risks for Deepwater Horizon spill cleanup workers from both...
 
But critical - absolutely critical to include in your "Oil Spill Response" is "Measuring Response" (Page 4). One might believe that would be some method by which companies and responders could gauge the effectiveness of their efforts. Not in the and of BIG OIL (Page 4):

"In addition to actual response activities, public perception will have to be measured."

Public perception. The kind that greases the palms of tourism and chamber folk to be paid off to give away free hotel rooms, free food, free deals and more in exchange for being able to say "all if fine, everything is back to normal now, go to hell."

How much for this lovely plan to be (of course) researched first and developed?

"The group suggested that the research effort will likely require one to three years and will have a total cost between $150,000 and $250,000." (Page 5)

The group narrowed down the listing of 55 topics to 14, that were "seen as most important"... #2 on the list? CHEMICAL DISPERSANTS (Page 6) (Remember - this is approximately 1 Year and 1 month to the day of the BP Deepwater Horizon Disaster)

    WHILE EXXON CLEANS UP ARKANSAS, THEY SPILL AGAIN IN NIGERIA!  IBENO, Nigeria: An oil spill at an ExxonMobil facility offshore from the Niger Delta has spread at least 20 miles from its source, coating waters used by fishermen in a film of sludge.

A Reuters reporter visiting several parts of Akwa Ibom state saw a rainbow-tinted oil slick stretching for 20 miles (32 km) from a pipeline that Exxon had shut down because of a leak a week ago. Locals scooped it into jerry cans.

Mark Ward, the managing director of ExxonMobil's local unit, said a clean up had been mobilised, and he apologised to affected communities for the spill.

Exxon said last Sunday it had shut a pipeline off the coast of Akwa Ibom state after an oil leak whose cause was unknown.

"This is the worst spill in this community since Exxon started its operations in the area," said Edet Asuquo, 40, a fisherman in the Mkpanak community, as women scooped oil into buckets. In some marshy areas, plants were poking out of the slick, not yet dead and blackened by the oil.

"The fishermen cannot fish any longer and have no alternative means of survival," Asuquo said.  Read more here:  http://dailystar.com.lb/Business/International/2012/Nov-18/195397-nigeria-exxon-spill-spreads-for-miles-along-coast.ashx
