I'm not sure if this show deserves its own thread as they're so new. But I saw one of their previews for their next episode and absolutely died. You know I love funny, weird, creative, counterculture shows. This is one of the most unique shows I've heard. But I imagine this will be a thing you either love or hate, especially older people.



American Cyberspace Broadcasting is like a broadcasting network that has a bunch of different shows and segments but the whole thing is a comedy or intense drama. They also did a shameless rip off of C2C in the middle of their first episode with insane callers in the middle of a War of the World parody.

Quote"...Like a mind-bending audio assembled ransom note unlike anything ever heard before."

American Cyberspace Broadcasting is an original audio comedy/drama following the fictional #1 broadcasting network in Cyberspace.

Described as Network, Kentucky Fried Movie, Mary Tyler Moore Show, Art Bell thrown together in a blender and careening down a simmering desert highway towards Vegas in an open top cherry red convertible.

Sardonic, irreverent, intense and wickedly humorous. American Cyberspace Broadcasting is for anyone who enjoys Gonzo Comedies or just good clean American fun.

I haven't found a show this fun since Ghost's show. No idea what is up with this show but I loved their first episode and their trailer so much, I thought it'd be good to give them a thread. Hope they do more although I can't imagine how much time it takes to make these.

New Tech Uses Your Mouse to Detect Lies and Emotion

THIS IS REAL
READ THE STUDY

tl;dr There is technology in use now that can detect your emotional state and honesty from computer mouse movement.

Neuro-ID is a company that sells this technology. It can be set up for a company in 5 minutes time for a demo or installation. The alphabet soup agencies are in on it and it is certainly being replicated as we speak.

The study at the University of Arizona determined that when you are upset or confused your mouse movements are bigger (sloppier and slower). When you are happier they are faster and more accurate. This can also be used to detect dishonesty on questionaires, polls, etc. If your mouse hovers over any answer, you change answers, or your movement patterns shift between answers all of those indicate a problem. It knows how to adjust for noise; people tracing under words they read, bumping the mouse, etc. This data is compared against yourself and everyone, so it can see if you are always acting weird or just now. The technology works on any device, in any language, is encrypted, and can be easily employed.

The applications right now are fraud detection, insider threat, advertising, and gaming just to name a few. In fraud detection it is over 90% accurate in identifying fraud. So it really just focuses the dragnet. The implications to privacy and surveillance should be apparent.

For example 2 years ago they were in negotiations with Microsoft to use this technology to modify Xbox player behavior. They would detect if you were getting upset and adjust the difficulty accordingly with the end goal of getting you to play longer.

It was also used by loan companies to detect fraud and identify new patterns. So people often lie about having bankruptcies in their pasts, but future questions correlate more strongly to loan success. I.e. future divorce>old bankruptcy

It can also detect for countermeasures and control for them. That part isn’t fool proof, but the National Science Foundation is funding a 2 year study where they will employ and mitigate countermeasures.

They are also coming up on major venture capital that could propel it to grow even further. Neuro-ID is a small firm now, but it will grow. Also this technology is easily copied and used by any state or non-state actor.

This technology has incredible potential in surveillance (the NSA already uses it), fraud and lying detection, and ecommerce. Big firms and government agencies have already begun to purchase it. The whole enterprise is riddled with NDAs and security clearances.

At this time it can only be used to detect positive or negative emotions and how intense they are. This data is interpreted in the context in which it is employed. Longer term studies will be able to narrow in on the specific emotions expressed (so anger vs fear not just good vs bad) and probably even more.

This is a new level of surveillance that is possible, it will grow, it is already in use by major companies and government agencies. People need to know about this because right now they don’t. This is a major privacy issue and data imbalance. Once more the powerful have another tool by which to analyze and control the masses. Please let the people know. I will not be available for comment use the links provided.

Thought it'd be fun to keep track of various things I'm into and spread the joy.

I'm in the middle of a project where I have to build a soundtrack and musical environment. I have been absolutely obsessing on this new synthwave that's happening. I got the bug from that video SaucyRossy made awhile ago and it evolved into discovering this whole incredible genre that's happening right now.

Here's Rossy's video which got me totally obsessed.

One of my favorite things while going through daily news aggregators and the dark corners is to see people claiming to be whistleblowers and leaks of inside information. 99% of them are bored autistis or schizos roleplaying but every once in awhile a genuine leak happens like the FBI one earlier this summer or political insiders popping up to spread info.

So largely for amusement, I thought it would be fun to collect the ones we come across out there.

Obama Vetoes Sept 11 Bill Passed Unanimously In Congress

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-sept-idUSKCN11T237?il=0

QuotePresident Barack Obama on Friday vetoed legislation allowing families of victims of the Sept. 11 attacks to sue Saudi Arabia, a move expected to prompt the U.S. Congress to overturn his decision with a rare veto override, the first of his presidency.

Obama said the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act would hurt U.S. national security. The bill passed earlier this month in reaction to long-running suspicions, denied by Saudi Arabia, that hijackers of the four U.S. jetliners that attacked the United States in 2001 were backed by the Saudi government.

Obama said other countries could use the law, known as JASTA, as an excuse to sue U.S. diplomats, service members or companies - even for actions of foreign organizations that had received U.S. aid, equipment or training.

"Removing sovereign immunity in U.S. courts from foreign governments that are not designated as state sponsors of terrorism, based solely on allegations that such foreign governments' actions abroad had a connection to terrorism-related injuries on U.S. soil, threatens to undermine these longstanding principles that protect the United States, our forces, and our personnel," Obama said in a statement.

New York Senator Chuck Schumer, who has championed the measure, immediately made clear how difficult it will be for Obama to sustain the veto.

I think we need a thread for the stuff surrounding the dark corners of the internet and the attempted regulation of the internet that's coming. I read daily stories about this stuff but I don't think these topics fit anywhere else. Here's the first story that caught my attention.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3802108/White-House-staffer-s-email-hacked-revealing-Secret-Service-plans-Joe-Biden-s-private-schedule-Michelle-Obama-s-PASSPORT.html

DC Leaks released the email of a White House staffer, revealing what they claim to be Michelle Obama's passport
The private schedules of Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama and Joe Biden are also revealed in the emails
An email from Arielle Medina, Clinton's travel coordinator, also reveals how much those who are working on the campaign are getting paid Team members get $150 a day, must share rooms and have to take public transportation to the airport for flights between 7am and 10pm

The email of a White House staff member has been hacked by DC Leaks, revealing what the group claims is Michelle Obama's passport.

In addition to the staffer's correspondence with other White House workers, the emails also reveal detailed schedules for members of the Secret Service, the First Lady and Vice President Joe Biden.

The young staffer also appears to be heavily involved in organizing events for Hillary Clinton.

DC Leaks said in an email: 'The leaked files show the security level of our government. If terrorists hack emails of White House Office staff and get such sensitive information we will see the fall of our country.'
The hack also revealed a Power Point detailing the recent trip of Vice President Joe Biden to the Intercontinental Hotel in Cleveland on June 26 of this year.

The detailed report includes how many stairs Biden will be walking up as he arrives at the hotel loading dock and makes his way up to the second floor of the facility.
It also features an photo image of Biden waving as he travels from the loading dock and up the stairs, laying out all the rooms and who he will be expected to meet and speak with at the event.

QuoteCNN is reporting this afternoon on an apparent chemical attack carried out by ISIS against American and Iraqi troops.

CNN Pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr reported that no U.S. troops were hurt by the attack, which occurred on Tuesday, though some had to go through a decontamination process.

The shell landed in the air base in the Mosul district, and tests “came back positive for mustard agent,” Starr said.

Can we talk about how awesome this technology is?

Long story short, I have a project I'm working on to create some statues. My search online led me to 3-D Printing. Now within a few days the idea that was in my mind is now a reality for under $75 (hiring a 3D designer and then hiring a 3D printer) My mind is boggled at the awesomeness of that.



I am so buying a 3D Printer now. The more I reach about this tech and where it's at now, the more I am obsessing on it.

Your thoughts or experiences?

QuoteTMZ broke the story ... cops raced to Chris' home early Tuesday morning after a woman called 911 and claimed he pulled a gun on her.
Police have been at the house since 3 AM and are in the process of getting a search warrant. Chris has not left the house, but multiple sources tell us he was defiant as he threw the duffel bag out the window, taunting cops and saying, "Come and get me."
Chris posted a video in which he refers to Black Lives Matter, saying "f*** the police."
Two sources on scene tells us in addition to weapons there were drugs in the duffel bag.
As for the woman who called 911 ... she's a beauty pageant title holder.

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/arkansas-sen-cotton-rips-obama-400m-payment-iran-article-1.2741773

QuoteSen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) on Sunday ripped into President Obama over a $400 million cash payment made to Iran in January within hours of four American hostages in Tehran being released, comparing the controversial deal to something more likely to be completed by a “drug cartel.”

“The administration has consistently stonewalled Congress and the American people. We didn't know that it was paid for with bills that could be easily laundered and used for terrorism,” Cotton said on “Fox News Sunday.”

“I think it's really shocking to most Americans that the United States government was acting like a drug cartel...stacking cash on a pallet and wrapping it in cellophane and flying it in an unmarked aircraft to give to the world's worst state-sponsored terrorism,” Cotton said.

The White House has been on the defensive since a report in Wednesday’s Wall Street Journal provided the extraordinary details surrounding the mysterious cash payment to Iran.

U.S. delivered $400M to Iran same day American hostages freed
According to the paper, an unmarked cargo plane loaded with wooden pallets stacked with euros, Swiss francs and other foreign currencies was secretly flown into Iran on the same day the U.S. exchanged seven Iranians for four American citizens who had been detained. The Obama administration secretly arranged the Jan. 17 airlift after negotiating a $1.7 billion settlement with Iran relating to the sale of military equipment dating to 1979, according to The Journal â€" which all came just after the U.S. and five other countries reached a landmark nuclear deal with Iranian officials.

The White House has maintained that the money was not a ransom and that the quick succession of deals was simply a product of diplomatic channels having been opened after a decades-long freeze.

“This wasn’t some nefarious deal,” Obama said Thursday. “The notion that we would somehow start (paying ransom) now in this high-profile way and announce it to the world … defies logic”


A plane arrives in Geneva carrying American hostages that were released from Iran on Jan. 17. (MARTIAL TREZZINI/EPA)
Cotton, however, said Sunday that, “it doesn't really matter what President Obama says.”

Obama insists $400M in cash to Iran was not ransom payment
“It matters what the Iranians think, and it matters what dictators, terrorists and gangsters all around the world think and they clearly think that this was a ransom payment,” Cotton added.

“There was a legitimate claim against the United States,” the Virginia senator said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

“We don't pay for hostages. We don't negotiate for hostages,” he said. “We are a nation of laws. And if there's a claim that we think we owe something on, we try to bargain the best deal we can. And that's what we ought to do."

An unmarked plane, pallets of foreign currency, one plane with the hostages waiting on one end of the airstrip until the other plane landed, 400 million going to the country my government has told me is the chief creator of international terrorism?

Seems legit.

I think it's time for this as it seems there's daily news about Russia's relationship and influence on the West. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Here's President Obama's take on Putin and Russia's situation.

Quote"The truth is, actually, Putin, in all of our meetings, is scrupulously polite, very frank. Our meetings are very businesslike. He never keeps me waiting two hours like he does a bunch of these other folks... He’s constantly interested in being seen as our peer and as working with us, because he’s not completely stupid. He understands that Russia’s overall position in the world is significantly diminished. And the fact that he invades Crimea or is trying to prop up Assad doesn’t suddenly make him a player. You don’t see him in any of these meetings out here helping to shape the agenda. For that matter, there’s not a G20 meeting where the Russians set the agenda around any of the issues that are important."

I just discovered this show today and it's one of the most insane hilarious radio shows I've ever heard. I posted it in the Dallas thread and a lot of people seemed to dig it, so this show needs it's own thread. This show is a conservative political show hosted by a man named Ghost. What makes the show so entertaining is that Ghost is one of the most unique characters I've heard. His raging and comments are hysterical. He's a weird blend of Lewis Black, Rush Limbaugh, Howard Beale, Bill Cooper and Alex Jones with a lot of Texan thrown in. The show is unlike anything I've ever heard. The first half of the show is Ghost ranting about politics and the second half of the show is the most insane hilarious open lines I've ever heard. I still can't tell if this guy is serious or not but the show is amazing.

QuoteFormerly known as True Conservative Radio, True Capitalist Radio was an internet radio talk show hosted by a Texan man known only as Ghost from 4-7pm CST on most weekdays. He had few legitimate fans, and it was not uncommon to see more than 400 trolls in his chatroom. The show consisted nearly entirely of either troll calls, or Ghost rambling about the markets/current events. His show was genuine, but his constant anger caused the show not to be taken seriously. He usually gets trolled by all sorts of internet groups, and some listeners have created a cult following for him (resulting in this wiki, among other things). While the show was defunct from May 2012 to March 2016, it still garnered many views on Youtube, primarily portions from Radio Graffiti.

Tripping on LSD could unlock child-like creativity
A long-awaiting study has produced groundbreaking images of the heightened brain activity unleashed by LSD. Experts say they show how a trip works and will improve understanding of how the drug can be used in the name of science and health...

Check out the video on The Guardian at the link below.

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2016/apr/11/lsd-impact-brain-revealed-groundbreaking-images



The profound impact of LSD on the brain has been laid bare by the first modern scans of people high on the drug.

The images, taken from volunteers who agreed to take a trip in the name of science, have given researchers an unprecedented insight into the neural basis for effects produced by one of the most powerful drugs ever created.

A dose of the psychedelic substance â€" injected rather than dropped â€" unleashed a wave of changes that altered activity and connectivity across the brain. This has led scientists to new theories of visual hallucinations and the sense of oneness with the universe some users report.

The brain scans revealed that trippers experienced images through information drawn from many parts of their brains, and not just the visual cortex at the back of the head that normally processes visual information. Under the drug, regions once segregated spoke to one another.

Further images showed that other brain regions that usually form a network became more separated in a change that accompanied users’ feelings of oneness with the world, a loss of personal identity called “ego dissolution”.

David Nutt, the government’s former drugs advisor, professor of neuropsychopharmacology at Imperial College London, and senior researcher on the study, said neuroscientists had waited 50 years for this moment. “This is to neuroscience what the Higgs boson was to particle physics,” he said. “We didn’t know how these profound effects were produced. It was too difficult to do. Scientists were either scared or couldn’t be bothered to overcome the enormous hurdles to get this done.”

http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_29735344/dea-could-soon-announce-major-decision-rescheduling-marijuana

QuoteThe Drug Enforcement Administration in the next couple of months could announce a potentially landmark change to marijuana's status under federal law.

In a letter the agency sent to federal lawmakers this week, the DEA says it plans to release a decision on rescheduling marijuana "in the first half of 2016." Cannabis is currently classified in federal drug laws under Schedule I, the most restrictive level.

Moving marijuana to a less-restrictive schedule would boost research on the drug and the development of marijuana pharmaceuticals that doctors could prescribe, experts said.

But it would be unlikely to make raw marijuana possession or cultivation by individuals any less illegal under federal law. And it likely would do little to end the standoff between the feds and the states that have legalized cannabis.

I have some extremely mixed feelings about all this. I can't help feeling that anytime the government gets involved in something they're there to take your money and freedom at the behest of a rich benefactor. But still, incredibly interesting times we're living in. 

The Thomas Jefferson Hour
http://www.jeffersonhour.com/

QuoteThe Thomas Jefferson Hour is a syndicated public radio program and podcast produced in Bismarck, North Dakota. It features author-historian Clay S. Jenkinson in a first-person portrayal of Thomas Jefferson, the third US President, and is co-hosted by David Swenson.[3] Jenkinson remains in-character as Jefferson throughout the first half of the program, delivering monologues and answering listener questions regarding Jefferson's personal and political life and the history of early America. The character of Jefferson generally confines his discussion to matters of history, politics, and philosophy as indirect context for modern times, but at times provides a limited analysis of current events (carefully attempting to limit his analysis to matters on which the actual Jefferson's view might be meaningfully determined). In the second portion of the program, Jenkinson steps out of character to discuss his in-character answers during the first half of the show and also to talk generally about the topic of the episode.

Anyone else a fan of this show/podcast? It's been on for over a decade and I've learned so much from it. It's really given me an appreciation for being an American and the Revolutionary Generation.

Basically it's a radio show where historian and scholar Clay Jenkinson portrays Thomas Jefferson in character where he's interviewed about modern day stuff and his own time. It can be pretty dry but there's so many episodes on so many different things that even if you're mildly interested, you can find something up your alley.

I've been listening for so long that it kind of all runs together for me. But the best episodes to me are when he portrays his other characters. My two favorites are Teddy Roosevelt and Robert J. Oppenheimer.

I feel walking into this forum like a casual fan of my hometown team walking into a room of fantasy baseball obsessives. But I just found out about these Mini Stick PCs and they are blowing my mind. It's probably a symptom of age but these are the neatest things that have struck me in a long time.

I'm something of a casual technology fiend in that I love technology and surround myself with it but I don't make a living at it or have enough knowledge about it to be anything more than casual. I'm in the midst of furnishing a new house. The most fun for me has been picking out all the new toys. While figuring out how I want to set up my TVs, I found these Mini Stick PCs that are essentially the same computing power as the laptop I'm on now yet around the size of a large memory stick. And the craziest thing to me is they're fully function little computers for only around $130. So now every TV in my house can have it's own completely independent computer for virtually nothing and it just clicks into the HDMI port.

Am I being fascinated by the horseless buggy or is this as cool as I think it is?

It's time. There's been so many pro wrestling comments on here that I think this thread is worthy.

I'm a huge professional wrestling fan. When it's done well, it is the best entertainment, soap opera, athletic thing out there. I was huge fan in the Attitude Era, stopped watching when ECW closed it's doors, followed it online and started watching again off and on in 2014.

Royal Rumble was great this year aside from the last few minutes. I was hoping Ambrose would take it as that would make him huge and then he could take down the authority and have tension with Reigns.

I'm also a huge Lucha Underground fan. Pentagon Jr. is the baddest heel I've seen in years.

Your thoughts?

Anyone else a fan of The Taz Show? I find I like it the more I listen to it and it's become one of my favorites.

The show is hosted by former ECW, WWE, TNA wrestler/commentator. I liked Taz during his career but he wasn't really one of my favorites and was indifferent to him as a commentator. But his radio show/podcast is awesome. It's an almost daily podcast where Taz talks about everything from wrestling, mma, sports, etc. It's a great dude show and Taz can be hilarious. It's probably the most listenable wrestling/sports podcast I've found. There's also a couple of episodes where Taz goes on the air completely pissed off and it's hilarious radio.

If you want to check out an episode, I recommend one of the fantasy draft episodes with Mike Tenay. They're really interesting if you're a pro wrestling fan.

So this place has always been a cornucopia of knowledge both valuable and worthless. I want to expand into different areas to create more revenue streams and pursue different interests.

One thing I'm about to expand to is running a cigar business and hopefully opening an online retail cigar store. I'm already in the process of working with my local government to get the proper licensing and I have a reputable distributor lined up who can drop ship for me.

My main question is where does one start with software? I've played around on some of the premade shopping cart sites and they're nice but not very flexible. One of the main things I want is to be able to integrate Bitcoin and Altcoins into the payment system but that seems very complex. This is the main thing I'm having problem with is figuring out the software end. I don't want to half ass the store front, I want this to be a long term business.

What advice or experiences can you folks give me? Where does one start? What would you recommend?

QuoteSan Bernardino Shooting Update â€" The police are currently looking for three unidentified males adorned in “military clothing” and wearing body armor who may have fled the Inland Regional Center in an SUV after the mass shooting. A robot is being used to investigate and then detonate, a suspicious device found inside building two. There are three buildings at the complex, buildings one and three have been cleared. The mass shooting began around 11 a.m. local time â€" about one hour ago. All three men remain at large and are believed to have been wearing masks and carrying semi-automatic rifles.

Hey folks,

Since we're all cool weird creative learn-ed folks on here, I was hoping one of you can help me with a literary reference that is driving me insane because I can't remember what book it's from.

I remember when I was younger I read a book about a character in the old south. This character was on the run and while on the run he came across an escaped slave who lived by himself and had his own little secret farm where he lived as a free man despite being in a land of slavery. The man had a sweet little setup and I remember the book even taking about how he had his own hog. For the life of me I cannot remember what book this was from or anymore detail than that. I feel like this was from a Mark Twain book but again, I can't remember.

I've searched and searched on Google but keep coming back with the story of Jim in Huck Finn which isn't what I'm thinking of.

This image is so deep and important in my mind but I can't remember anything else about the story. I really would like the find it again.

If anyone can recall or help me with, they'd be like the best person ever in the history of the intrawebz.

Thank you.

I'm on a big Nuclear Holocaust kick right now. I've watched The Day After, Dr. Strangelove and I just watched Threads for the first time. I'm reading everything I can about it. It seems inevitable that humanity will blow itself to pieces at some point, that just seems logical. Also the question arises about what happens to humanity and the world after all the bombs go off?

In 2015, it seems there's little concern about a nuclear holocaust outside of a terrorist unleashing a small dirty bomb. Yet we're still completely fucked when it comes to radiation and have no way to deal with all the evils of splitting the atom. I couldn't imagine an uglier game killer for humanity.

I also find the theory interesting that if humanity blows itself to pieces after establishing this industrial technological age, we'd never be able to rise above the middle ages again since all the resources would have been depleted already.

What are your thoughts on humanity pressing the button?

Figure this is a big enough topic that it should get it's own thread.

What we know for sure from what Art said...

Multiple shots were fired tonight around Art's property while he was on the air

Art's neighbor informed him of this around 10:30 PM tonight

The shots were apparently fired at one of Art's buildings

Apparently these came from a dangerous person although Art seemed reluctant to mention anything else and he might have just been speculating

Art left the air twice to handle the situation, once when one of his motion detectors was set off to the back door of his studio

That's about all I gathered...

This is probably total bullshit from an absolute geyser of bullshit in the History Channel. But a new special is coming out where family members of John and Clarence Anglin claim they made it and have proof. I find Alcatraz and the famous escape completely fascinating and have read a lot about it and watched all the documentaries and movies. However The History Channel is a pile of poop that designs it's programming to attract retards now. So who knows but that was the first headline on Facebook in months that has gotten my attention.



http://www.opposingviews.com/i/society/crime/alcatraz-inmates-fbi-says-died-during-their-escape-actually-survived-family-claims

QuoteThree Alcatraz inmates who escaped from the island prison in San Francisco more than 50 years ago were thought to have drowned â€" until now.

The families of the inmates claim they have proof that brothers John and Clarence Anglin and fellow inmate Frank Morris made it to shore in a makeshift raft in June 1962, reports The Daily Mail. And they may still be alive today in their 80s living in South America.

The evidence is said to be in the form of signed Christmas cards sent to the brothers’ mother and a photograph they claim was taken in the 1970s of the men.

The as-yet-unseen image will be shown in a new History Channel documentary premiering on Oct. 12 called "Alcatraz: Search For The Truth."

QuoteAlcatraz officials claim the men drowned.

Anglins’ nephews David, 48, and Ken Widner, 54, are the ones who hold the evidence that may prove the inmates made it to shore safely.

“This is absolutely the best actionable lead we’ve had,” Art Roderick, the retired U.S. Marshal who investigated the case for 20 years, told The New York Post.

After years of being spied on and harassed by the FBI, the Anglin family finally decided they wanted to see the case solved before the brothers’ sister, Marie Anglin Widner, passed away.

They also want to prove to Alcatraz officials that the prison was in fact escapable.

“[Alcatraz officials] were not willing to ... say, ‘Maybe [the escapees] did make it,’” David said. “That gave me the motive to prove them wrong.”

If the men are found to have survived, it will destroy the bragging rights Alcatraz has for its no escapees.

Hey folks,

I've been surprised and delighted to find a lot of other hockey fans here on BellGab. I'm a huge hockey fan and even bigger fantasy hockey fan. Fantasy hockey is one of my great joys in life. Since we have a bunch of hockey fans in here, thought it might be fun to start a BellGab league? I'll be happy to set it up.

We could do a simple draft only points league, an in-depth rotisserie league, we could do an auction draft or we could do a take no prisoners head to head keeper league. Probably would be better to do a simpler rotisserie league since the season starts next week but I'm open to all ideas and all games.

Let me know what you guys think.

Any other hockey fans out there?

I'm a Vancouver Canucks fan which means I'll probably completely lose interest in the NHL by December. But we're shaping up to have an incredible year. Such a huge influx of young stars and the game is changing rapidly. Personally I'm so excited for Connor McDavid. This kid is going to be the second coming of Jesus Christ. I haven't been this excited for a prospect since Ovechkin came into the league. He's already destroying pre-season games and he's already probably a top ten center in the world at 18-years old. Check out this video on him, it's mind blowing.

Make your prediction now a little over a year from the elections.

I'm convincing myself that the election is going to be Ben Carson Vs. Joe Biden in November with Uncle Joe running away with the election as the majority of voting Americans want an older white man who will keep the status quo.

I don't think the Republicans have a legit candidate. Trump is hilarious right now but this is so just a publicity stunt for him and being this far out from the election, he's bound to peter out and will likely be out by January.

Aside from Trump, virtually every other candidate they have has that nasty Republican stink on them that will turn off the majority of voters. I think they'll run Carson because he's the least offensive black friend of the Republican Party.

The Democrats also are in tough as they have Hilary who has no shot in hell. They've got Hipster Jesus in Sanders who will be destroyed for being a crippled pussy on top of being a commie in an election. Really the only player they have who can cross all demographics and has that Obama shine is Biden. And watching his fluff pieces in the media recently, it really seems like he'll be the guy.

How do you see it going down?

Hey folks,

I'm very excited and rather nervous that I'm about to buy my first property. I've been fortunate in the past to work out leasing deals or find different arrangements for cool properties but this is the first time I'm buying my own place.

I've got a realtor who's a family friend helping me and we're slowly going through the process. But this is rather frightening for me as it's so new and I'm committing to so much money.

Do you guys have any advice for buying a rural property/house? We're having the home, well and septic inspected.

Right now my biggest problem is planning out the living room and how many big screen TVs I'm going to have in there. I want something resembling NASA mission control with every hockey game in the NHL on one side and financial tickers on the other. I'm thinking a big 70" and then three 40" TV above the 70" for other hockey games. Then three 32" below the 70" for other sports games and financial info. 

About once or twice a year I take a huge run on the JFK Assassination reading all the info I can find and watching documentaries about it. It's a shame that since about 2000, the subject has become so Woo-obfuscated by hacks looking to sell books that unless we see a Soviet style collapse, we'll never know what really happened or which conspiracy theory even has any credence.

The trippiest aspect to me is the story of Lee Harvey Oswald's mistress Judyth Vary Baker who was supposedly some super genius scientist that was allegedly smashing uglies with Lee Harvey around the time he became famous.

QuoteJudyth Vary Baker (née Judyth Anne Vary) is an American artist, writer and poet. Born May 15, 1943, in South Bend, Indiana, she is best known in documentaries, on the Internet, and in books and articles for coming forward with the assertion that she was a close associate of Lee Harvey Oswald, the accused assassin in the murder of President John F. Kennedy, which she claims was a CIA/Mafia conspiracy with Lee Harvey Oswald being a designated scapegoat.

She first decided to tell her story some 38 years after the JFK assassination, claiming she had kept silent out of fear for retaliation from the conspirators, who she says threathened to kill her if she talked. She interpreted the list of witnesses, who died mysteriously over the years, as a tacit justification for her fears. However, after seeing the movie JFK of Oliver Stone, who claimed silent witnesses were cowardeous, Judyth says she mustered the courage to come forward. Judyth's story is generally painted as controversial. She has many supporters as well as disbelievers. Among her supporters are author Edward Haslam, journalist/writer Jim Marrs, british TV producer Nigel Turner, Retired U.S. Army Green Beret Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Marvin (author of Expendable Elite - One Soldier's Journey Into Covert Warfare) and dutch JFK assassination researcher Wim Dankbaar. A few of her staunchest disbelievers are Debra Conway of the JFKlancer.com website and JFK assassination researcher John McAdams, who some researchers claim to be a disinformation asset for the CIA. Today Judyth's goal is to exonerate Lee Harvey Oswald from the charge that he was the assassin of John F. Kennedy.

Early life

Judyth Baker was born in South Bend, Indiana to Donald William and Glorianne Whiting Vary in 1943. She attended Manatee High School in Bradenton, Florida.

A wizard student with the highest IQ of her class, on October 17, 1958, she was introduced to Dr. Canute Michaelson, a high-ranking Norwegian geneticist and radiobiologist with CIA ties who had served as a double agent against Hitler. Michaelson's exploits as a spy fascinated her. He provided her with equipment, and contacts with Oak Ridge, after she indicated her interest in finding a cure for cancer. Her patriotic zeal was further enhanced in high school by friendships with retired military officers (especially her science instructor, Col. Phillip Doyle) and anti-Castro Cubans, including a close friendship with fellow student Tony Lopez-Fresquet, the oldest son of Castro's finance minister, who fled Cuba in 1960.

Her stellar research and its results were soon noticed by professors and scientists, with high profile connections in the medical and political world. This resulted in invitations to science programs and science fairs nationwide. In March, 1961, at age 17, she became the first high school student allowed to attend the elite Science Writer’s Cancer Research Seminar, a 5-day national meeting of science writers and the world’s most important cancer research scientists, where her research was inspected by top American Cancer Society (ACS) officials, research scientists, and Nobel Prize winners, who began mentoring her. In April, 1961, she was invited by Director Dr. George Moore to work in his personal laboratory at Roswell Park Memorial Institute in Buffalo, New York, the oldest important cancer research center in the United States. There she conducted research on melanoma cancers and learned techniques for handling cancers induced by the SV40 monkey virus. She next enrolled in the medical technology program at St. Francis College in her home state of Indiana, where she considered becoming a nun as well as a scientist. Evidence of her conducting cancer research after her training at Roswell Park exists in newspaper articles and citations. Assigned to work with malignant melanoma, at Dr. Alton Ochsner’s suggestion, one of the 18-year-old's research projects is preserved in an Indiana Academy of Science's abstract entitled "Studies on the Increase in vitro of Mitotic Activity and Melanogenesis in the RPMI HA # 5 (7113) Strain Melano." (Proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Science. V. 71 (1961) p. 71): the abstract mentions that her cancer research was continuing at her lab at St. Francis.

Her work with melanoma in 1961 reflected Dr. Ochsner’s research interests: Ochsner’s work in 1961-1962 on melanoma was important enough to be recorded in his official biography (Surgeon of the South --Wilds & Harkey, 1990, p. 136). Ochsner was the former ACS President (1952): his friends Dr. Harold S. Diehl (the current Vice President of the ACS, in charge of research) and Dr. George Moore testified with Ochsner in court about links between smoking and cancer. All three doctors were impressed that Judyth Vary had induced lung cancer in mice in record time in a high school lab. Ochsner had served with both Diehl and “Wild Bill” Donovan (of OSS and CIA fame) on ACS boards. At this time, Ochsner was in weekly contact with both the AF’s Surgeon General and the US Surgeon General on the Surgeon General’s CIA-attended committee meetings.

Concerned that their daughter might become a nun, her parents removed her from St. Francis. She was attending The University of Florida by Feb., 1962, under a full scholarship, where she resumed research in cancer-related areas under an umbrella of grants and permits. In the Spring of 1963, Ochsner offered her a summer internship at Ochsner Clinic in New Orleans, under the direction of the noted cancer research specialist, Dr. Mary S. Sherman, with the promise that she would receive a scholarship for early entry into Tulane Medical School that Fall. Her bus ticket shows she arrived in New Orleans a few days before Lee Harvey Oswald, in mid-April, 1963, two weeks before she was to begin her internship in Dr. Sherman's bone cancer lab.

A top secret bioweapon project in New Orleans

In 1963, Judyth was invited to New Orleans by famous surgeon Dr. Alton Ochnser to serve her country by taking part in another special cancer research project. Judyth soon learned that this was a top secret project to develop a bioweapon in order to terminate the Cuban leader Fidel Castro with a cancer-causing virus. Young and impressionable, Judyth saw Fidel Castro as a cruel communist dictator, a threat to national security and the American way of life. Under direction of Alton Ochsner, well connected and funded by right wing politicians and Texan oil barons, the project was led by Dr. Mary Sherman. Also involved were Lee Harvey Oswald, David Ferrie, Clay Shaw and Guy Banister. Oswald took Judyth under his wings and introduced her to these people. Judyth and Lee grew a liking to each other which developed into a love affair, although both were married.

After the JFK assassination Mary Sherman was murdered, on the day the Warren Commision started its hearings in New Orleans. Guy Banister died too in 1964, reportedly from a heart attack. However, witnesses claim that his office was taped off by the police as "a crime scene". His extensive files were confiscated by the FBI. David Ferrie died from what officially was ruled a suicide, which version is challenged by many researchers believing it was homicide, just before he was to testify in the trial of Jim Garrison, wherein he charged Clay Shaw and Ferrie as participants in the alleged conspiracy to kill JFK. With Ferrie dead, Clay Shaw was eventually acquitted for lack of evidence. These events are described in Edward's Haslam's recent book "Mary's monkey", wherein he makes a case for the thesis that - as a accidental result of these experiments - the polio vaccin of the early sixties was contaminated with a cancer causing monkey virus, better known as SV-40. Hence, he argues this was one of the decisive reasons to keep the bioweapon project secret and hidden from the public, as well as Lee Harvey Oswald's involvement, which contradicts the Warren Commission's conclusion that he was a deranged communist nut without any connections. Haslam takes the reader on a quest to find an explanation for the alarming growth rate of soft tissue cancers in America. "Mary's Monkey" is becoming an underground bestseller with a top 100 position on Amazon.com.

Proof for Judyth's story

Extra-ordinary claims require solid evidence. Although there is heated debate on the veracity of Judyth's story, even her discreditors admit that she can prove the following:

- She lived and worked in New Orleans in the spring and summer of 1963. Both she and Oswald arrived in New Orleans by bus in April and left New Orleans in September. Both she and Oswald moved into apartments the same week, within walking distance of each other. Both she and Oswald rode the same bus to and from the same workplace daily for eleven weeks, with only one bus stop between them.

- She was indeed a promising student with a passion for cancer research, as is evidenced by numerous contemporary newspaper articles.

- She worked in the same company as Lee Harvey Oswald, the Reily Coffee Company, and was hired on exactly the same date as Lee Harvey Oswald by the same small sub-company of Reily's, Standard Coffee Co. Both were subsequently transferred to Reily's one week later. An ad to replace her at Reily's was ordered the day Oswald was fired from Reily's, and she was terminated the same day Oswald was arrested (August 9, 1963) in New Orleans after he handed out pro-Cuban pamphlets. (Judyth asserts the jobs at Reily were a front for their covert activities, arranged by Dr. Ochsner and his allies. A probability study by statistics professor Dr. John Williams, published in The Dealey Plaza Echo in 2006, with a second supporting article published in 2007, concluded that statistically these events could not have occurred by chance.

- She moved back to Florida the same week that Oswald moved back to Dallas.

- After the JFK assassination her promising career as a researcher abruptly ended. (Judyth's explanation is that she was told to keep a low profile and stay silent.)

- Contemporary witnesses corroborate that Judyth and Lee Oswald knew each other and were lovers. One such witness is Anna Lewis (widow of David Lewis who worked for Guy Banister) whose video testimony was made availabe on Google video and the website www.jfkmurdersolved.com by Dutch researcher Wim Dankbaar. A video interview with Edward Haslam, author of Dr. Mary's Monkey, which includes additional supporting evidence for her story, is also available there.

Other sources on Judyth's story

In 2003 British TV producer Nigel Turner made 3 new episodes in his series "The men who killed Kennedy", which aired in England and the USA on the History Channel. One of the episodes, titled "The Love Affair" was dedicated to Judyth's story. Shortly thereafter protests were applied on The History Channel targeting one of the other two episodes, specificly "The Guilty Men" that focused on the alleged involvement of former president and JFK successor Lyndon Baines Johnson. The complaints were led by Johnson's widow, ex-presidents Ford and Carter, and former LBJ aides Jack Valenti and Bill Moyers. An anonymous party bought the rights from The History Channel, including the rights for "The Love Affair" (although it was not attacked) and the programs were never aired again in America.

An extensive video interview of Judyth telling her story is still available on DVD trough the website www.jfkmurdersolved.com.

She is interviewed by veteran assassination researcher Jim Marrs, author of the book "Crossfire, the plot that killed Kennedy"

She had a great interview with George Knapp on Coast where she was feisty, interesting and probably my favorite Knapp interview of all time.
