EXTRA, EXTRA: ALIENS BEAM-UP RESIDENTS OF ENTIRE TOWN - 350,000 MISSING...VEGETABLES LEFT BEHIND

This is the zaniest story to come out of North Korea in quite a while. Real info from there can be hard to come by of course, but allegedly this is being broadcast on NK TV as a real event. Smoke 'em if you got 'em, 'cause this is nuts y'all. 

 The story goes that in the city of Wonsan, the entire population of 355,000 just up and vanished overnight, and they say the culprit was a UFO. Interesting. There's a video of the alleged news broadcast, and I'll leave a link. From the relatively-few NK news broadcasts I've seen it looks exactly the same, sort of like American TV-news in the latter-Cronkite era, and legit.

 What lends further credibility that it was a real broadcast is the fact that the footage was covered in a video on YouTube by an alleged NK-defector, Yeonmi Park. If I remember correctly, she and her mother supposedly swam a dangerous river to freedom. Most people would never do that because of what happens to their families left behind. Not only are they punished but so are at least two generations down the road.

 I've been occasionally watching her videos for about three years, and again she seems legit. Of course it could all be pure propaganda, but I tend to doubt that. She certainly takes a different view than the "Official Narrative" coming out of there. Normally she does a commentary but all she did was post the video. If she actually posted it, I'm guessing she'll do a followup. 

This is the image shown at the beginning of the broadcast. The Korean writing for "UFO" is this: 비행접시, so I'm noy sure what these symbols mean. I'm guessing maybe it means "Oh, SHIT!" The shape of the Saucer is interesting. 

It's almost a dead-ringer, as it were, for the German craft Die Glocke, or "The Bell." We know it was built and supposedly it flew. The story, in the Germans' own words, was that it came from "Alien" technology. BTW, did you know that after WW2, hundreds of German scientists were brought to the US, chiefly to work at NASA and other gubmint agencies? They brought not only the avowed "Alien" tech with them, but also their deep "Occult" beliefs. Look it up. See: "Operation Paper Clip." All that shit came over here after the war. 

 The broadcast starts with the reporter taking a bow. She says that Supreme Leader KJU is confounded by a new mystery. She goes on to say that overnight all the residents of the town disappeared, leaving their homes and "many tasty vegetables" (in stores) behind. Also left behind was a noxious smell of rotten eggs. The very next day the regime called for the repopulation of Wonsan, offering free homes and tasty vegetables to new settlers on a first-come-first-serve basis, and within 24 hours the city had new residents. I doubt it was 355,000 new residents overnight, but one never knows when it comes to NK. 

 One woman who was obviously distraught said that she'd gone out of town for a one-day vacation, and when she returned, all the former residents were gone, and someone was already living in her house, and no doubt preparing the tasty vegetables. "Where will I go?" she asked. She said nothing about the UFO. They showed new residents sweeping the streets and planting flowers. There was no footage of people munching the tasty vegetables, which is the first thing I imagine they'd do. The main concern seemed to be getting rid of the smell, rather than the fact that 355K folks disappeared overnight, not to mention they were supposedly abducted by a fucking UFO. One smiling woman said that if they plant enough flowers, it will get rid of the smell.

 The whole thing was treated very matter-of-factly, which further pegged my Bullshitometer. I cracked-up when the newscaster said "We now take you to a 'Disappearance Specialist.'" You could go a lifetime meeting people and asking what they did for a living, and I'd bet nary a one would say "I'm a Disappearance Specialist." That is, anywhere besides NK. I reckon they need that gig over there, what with all the disappearances and such, but I'm surprised the position exists. 

 So the Disappearance Specialist comes on, and here's what he had to say: "I always said Wonsan was plagued with UFOs. Now I'm taken seriously and people are asking for help. I think these people were stolen. Don't worry, it's happened before in other cities. Over time people will arrive and it will be populated again." So, a UFO zaps 355,000 people to God knows where, but don't worry. It's cool. It's happened before." It was like he was saying "I told y'all so," and that's all that mattered. I guess since there was apparently a precedent for entire cities being beamed-up, minus the vegetables, it's nothing to worry about. I guess the Aliens don't care for Earth veggies. Crazy. 

 Several of my YouTube homies have made short vids about it, and I'm sure there'll be tons more. The general tone is "WTF," and nobody lent the story much credibility, except for the fact that it was on Yeonmi's channel. It'll be interesting to keep an eye on, and even if it turns out to be complete bullshit, which it probably is, and the news broadcast was faked, it's still interesting. I'm going to have to call "Bullshit" on this one for now, but I'll keep abreast of the situation.

When I first heard the story it reminded me of an episode of the Twilight Zone, or possibly the Outer Limits, where an entire town was scooped-up, also by a UFO. In that case however, instead of just the people being sucked-up, a huge section of land, the whole town, was ripped from the planet. That episode always reminded me in turn of the back cover of Yes' brilliant album Fragile, which was drawn by the one-and-only Roger Dean. They just yanked a big chunk out of the ground, tasty vegetables and all.

Could there possibly be any truth to this story? Could 355,000 people vanish overnight? Anything's possible. We do know there's a huge chemical plant there, and major accidents have happened...the gasses released generally are heavier than air, and displace oxygen, thus choking its victims, and entire towns have been wiped-out, but 355,000 people...all of them? It seems unlikely but it would account for the smell. That's a lot of bodies to get rid of overnight, but who knows what they're really capable of. They showed people who'd allegedly moved in that very day, scrubbing windows to get rid of the smell, and having already planted tons of flowers, as if they'd been living there a while...it was surreal, and it seemed like pure bullshit, but who knows? 

 I'd like to hear, from Mr. Disappearance Specialist, where this has happened before, as he said, and why he's so casual about a fucking UFO. That sucker had to have been massive, to hold that many people. I reckon "conspiracy" stuff is frowned upon over there, so why say it's a UFO to begin with? Is that the best answer they could come up with to explain the disappearance of a shitload of people? Why not, right? 

 This story is a breath of fresh air for we "Conspiracy Theorists." Even if it's pure bullshit it's hilarious, and reads like the front cover of the dearly-missed tabloid, Weekly World News (RIP). It's also a possible peek into a country "shrouded in mystery," as writers would say. If it's a hoax, and the news broadcast was just a well-done fake, then it's one of the most batshit-crazy hoaxes to come out of anywhere in a long time. 

 Over a quarter-century since his death, I still wonder what Frank Zappa would have to say about shit like this. To me this is special, and Frank could've easily made it into a song. I know he'd be into the "sulfury reek" as he once said, and he wrote an amazing song called "Inca Roads," in which he discussed the Nazca Lines, and who may have used them, wondering if it was UFOs. "Was it round, and did it have a motor...or was it something different?" Brilliant. 

 Anyway, this is the best "WTF" story I've heard in a while. I seriously doubt it's true but if even a part of it is then it's incredible. 355,000 people beamed-up? The town is completely deserted, yet it's repopulated within 24 hours? Some woman goes on vacation for one day, and when she returns home the next day someone else is living there, and it's just tough shit? I guess she was the lucky one, out of 355.000. It sounds like complete horsefeathers, but I'll keep an eye out for any updates. Stay tuned...

Reasons Why Ringo was a Brilliant Drummer #6,083

The needless debate on whether or not Ringo was/is a good drummer continues to this day. Someone brings it up once or twice a year these days. If someone has to question it, it only shows that they have a limited knowledge of music, and specifically what makes a great song so great.

 Long story short, the Beatles' music would've sounded NOTHING like it did had they had ANY other drummer but Ringo. Whenever someone asks me if Ringo was a good drummer or not, I chuckle and say that he's the best drummer in the world, and in many ways he really is. 

 They'll cock their heads and say "Really?" I'll try to explain the difference between drumming for drumming's sake (wankage) and drumming for the song, how his parts were so cool and quirky and unique, how simple is beautiful, how you couldn't take away his parts any more than you could the piano or vocals and all, if they can dig it. 

 The beautiful song Fixing a Hole is just one example of why Ringo is amazing (example #6,083, lol). It starts with an Harpsicord intro in straight eighth-notes and then there's a pause. Ringo then sets the tempo and counts the band in with a four-bar Shuffle pattern on the hi-hats. After those four beats the band comes in and the first verse starts. He keeps the same pattern going on the hats, which is normal, but when the rest of the band and the vocals come in, 999,999 out of a million drummers would start playing the snare drum on beats 2 and 4, at least with a rim-click.

 It's what drummers do almost automatically, like hitting the bass drum with cymbal crashes. It's how we learn to play drums. Drummers are obviously excitable people when it comes to music. Must of us mere mortal drummers would be thinking something like: "Okay, I laid the groove these four beats, and now the rest of the boys are gonna come in...ready, GO!" We can't help it. Our buddies are joining us and we get excited. 

 Not Ringo. He had the calmness, the wisdom, the courage, the vision, the brilliance and the general "Ringoness" to lay off the snare until the chorus. Most drummers would have to tie their snare-hand to their leg to keep from doing it automatically, but Ringo was able to contain himself, and keeps playing just the hats through the verse. It's amazing. He does accent some beats, like having the snare going would do, but it's all on the hats. It's beautiful. This is reason #6,083. Don't engage in silly debates. Rock on.

All Roads Lead to Heaven?

Do all roads really lead to Heaven? Most people think so. Alls you have to do is basically not be a bad person, and you're in like sin. Is that how it is? Buddha...Shiva...Krishna or God, it doesn't really matter whom you subscribe to, it's all the same...is that the deal? It makes perfect sense, but what's if it's nothing but a happy story, and not how it really is? What if there's only one way, whether it seems fair or not? I'd look into it. Choose wisely my friend. 

Yet More Products of a Godless Society

This is the kind of thing that happens when they try to take God out of society. Now I'm an artist and a musician, so I have no problem with self-expression. It's self-mutilation where I draw the line. Who would do this to themselves?

 For the millionth time this isn't "hate speech" in any way. I hold no hatred for anyone except Satan. I feel empathy for this person actually. When I look into this person's eyes, besides the demon I see looking out, I also see some of the original human left...and it's a human crying for help. These days it's no wonder.

 I don't see this same look with most of these "body-modification" people. This person might still be saved. and they can do wonders with plastic-surgery these days. If this were a Halloween costume it'd be badass, but not 24/7. I feel for this person. They need God. We all do, whether we know it or not. Be blessed. 
 

It's Fun Being a Dork

Sometimes it's fun being a dork. There are issues from time to time but usually it's at least entertaining, in a dorky way. And that's the beauty of being a dork...no matter how dorky the average person thinks something is, the dork will love it. Being a dork has its perks. By definition a dork loves dorky shit, and maybe doesn't necessarily know any better...like maybe someone who's a little "slow." People who know you're a dork expect you to do dorky shit, so it's all good. 

 It could be a little bit dorky to begin with, but in lieu of buying a GoPro I got a waterproof case for my phone. I wanted to one day take some more groovy underwater shots at the Cahaba River...crawfish, Alligator Gars, Darters, turtle-fart bubbles and such. I didn't make it to the river but I did test it, in the shower and in a hellacious downpour, and it's definitely waterproof. Trouble is like most everything else they cut corners, and used shitty hex screws. 

 It was heavy and bulky but waterproof. You could probably hit it with a baseball bat. The "threads" in the top of one of the screws were weak and loose, and once I screwed it in it was stuck. It was big but loose, and even the slightest touch made a loud pop, enough to ruin a video. I recorded Doug and I playing bass and drums, and the sound and picture quality were good except for the pops, and any really loud hits would vibrate the case and make the picture shake. Not to mention the screws weren't stainless and had rusted in place, and took my best Hulk imitation to get them out. Smart, for something that's supposed to be waterproof. It had to go. 

 This time I got a clear case. It has no screws and I'll test it out with cardboard before I trust the phone in it, but it looks solid. Plus it's so thin it's hard to tell there's a case on the phone. It came with a dummy phone-screen illustration, so I decided to put it where it shows through the back of the case. I had to cut out a section at the top to allow for the lenses but you can't tell and it fits perfectly. This is the back of the case, ha-ha. 

 If I ever get out in public again this could be funny, and dorkyAF. I could become Superdork, or worse. I'd be walking around pretending to be talking to someone, but from a few feet away it'd look like I'm talking into the wrong side of my phone, not to mention the phone wasn't actually on, and with a dork-ass homescreen photo to boot. I'd keep saying "HEY, could you speak-up? I can't hear you very well" in a loud voice, over and over. People would think I was (seriously) challenged in some way and feel sorry for me and maybe give me money or buy me a sandwich. Oh, wait...this is 2021. People would just think I was on drugs and make a wide berth. Oh, wait...people do that these days anyway. 

 This is a dorky post but ibi habes. Being dork-related humor I dig it, and the thought of walking around talking into the back of my phone made me lol. How dorky is that? I apologize. I'm a dork.

The Latest Topic to be Censored

The latest topic to be censored (can you say "1984?") is videos in which people say that the Astroworld tragedy was a Satanic ritual. I don't know how many videos I watched where people said that, and made it very clear that they weren't "religious" in any way. I wonder why they'd want to censor those videos...oh, I know...because it's the TRUTH. 

 Again I believe that two things are happening right now that the Good Book said would happen- a light is being shone upon the darkness, and the "veil" is lifting. Even if we disregard all the overtly-Satanic symbols we always see...the eyeballs, pyramids, portals and shit it's clear that this was a ritual. Tons of people who don't believe in God, much less the Devil, were saying that it felt "demonic." It's hard to argue with that, folks. If you still have eyes to see, ears to hear and a semi-working brain, then use them! Again, wake the fuck up. Please.
 

 

"Unexplained" Deaths

Kids dying from heart attacks? A 500% increase in heart attacks and other "unexplained" deaths in FIFA athletes? WTF? In a recent three-month period, there were over 20,000 "extra" and "unexplained" deaths in England and Wales. They say researchers are "scrambling" to find the cause of these deaths. There's no need to scramble. I can tell you what caused these "extra" and "unexplained' deaths. They're from what most people have already put in their arms. Can you dig it? Wake up.

The African-American Ice Cream Kid

This is the iconic "Ice Cream Kid" from the cover of one of the Grateful Dead's live albums, Europe '72 I think. It was drawn by Stanley Mouse, in collaboration with Alton Kelley, of Kelley Mouse Studios. Back in the day it was one of THE t-shirts to own. Original Ts from back then go for hundreds on eBay. If I had bucks to burn I'd get another one. 

 It's one of my favorite illustrations of all time. It looks like it was done digitally, but of course it was drawn by hand and way before computer graphics was available to the masses. It's extremely well-done. The mouth has an almost Dali-esque thing going on, and now that I understand more about symbolism, it has more meaning than it did before, but above all, on any given day to me it represents my general feelings about the whole damn dumbass human race in general. I may have to pony-up $25 or so for a modern-copy t-shirt. I love it. 

Here we see rapper Travis "My fame was fake, bought and paid for on Soundcloud" Scott, during a videotaped statement/apology to fans and families of the victims (in black & white no less) who tragically passed-away during his ritual...umm, I mean concert a few days ago. He's like "Oops!" In the video he keep putting his hand to his forehead, just like Ice Cream Kid, over and over. He just forgot the ice cream cone.

Great Lines from Great Songs: "Freak Parade" by Todd Rundgren

Usually with this series I have something to say about the lyrics, but in this case there isn't much that needs to be said. The lyrics speak for themselves. I have nothing to say about this except that it's beautiful. Todd is the MAN.

In a world full of freaks

You can creep, you can crawl

But the world's biggest freak

Is the one with no balls

This is an incredible tune BTW. Give it a spin.

Updated Dating Profile

Luckily I've never had to avail myself of dating sites, but the thought has crossed my mind. I'd never do it because I know now that dating sites are the Happy Hunting Ground for narcissists. But if I did use one, I'd try a tactic that probably fewer that 98% of the people use- honesty. I wouldn't sugar-coat shit, and I think it'd be hilarious. I'd use a current pic, one like this, where I look like a fucking dweeb...haven't shaved in three days, idiotic look on my face, etc. The ad might say something like this:

 SWM, over the motherfucking hill (64), seeks female, 35-70, for conversation, companionship and maybe more.

Cons: No home, no car, no job, no future, no teeth and no life.

Pros: I still have hair and my dick still works. I once had a sense of humor that still may be buried somewhere. 

Likes: Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rain

Dislikes: Assholes 

My # is:1-205-OLD-FART. RSVP if interested. Those still asleep need not apply. Have a nice day.

That'd be my profile in a nutshell. I wonder how many women would be brave enough to be at all interested. Lots of people would be thrown by honesty but at least they'd know what they're getting. Lol. 

 
 

The WTF Files: Kids and Cardiac Arrest?

Kids going into cardiac arrest after getting vacksed? Yeah, that's normal. Wake up. 
 

Waking Up

People are slowly waking up, big-time. I see it every day. At least three people I know, who a scant year or so earlier stopped just short of calling me crazy, and accusing me of implying or thinking that my information was "special" (not my words), while the only thing "special" about it was the fact that I'd researched that information and they hadn't, yet they basically told me I was full of shit, just because they didn't believe it and hadn't looked into it. Now they want to hear what I have to say, and again there's nothing special about me at all...this information is there for all to see. The truth is finally sinking-in. It takes time.

 You don't wake up overnight. You can't. You can't just change your beliefs, and undo a lifetime of programming and social-engineering without a mental fight. Your brain has to process new and strange information, and most people don't like dealing with that at all. It takes you out of your comfort zone about as much as anything, but if you never leave your comfort zone you'll never grow. It's not easy waking up, and yes, it sucks finding out bad things, but it's reality, and the sooner you realize it the sooner you can adjust.

 People are waking up to the lies, the flip-flopping "Official Narrative," the blatant corruption, etc., and the fact that the people in power (the Elites) have absolutely NOTHING in common with we common commoners, although they've managed to convince most people that they love US above money and power and all that, but we're starting to see through that bullshit nonsense. 

 Speaking of see, all this blatant suppression of information will backfire on them. Eventually when people realize that certain info is being censored, they'll want to know what that info is, and that's a beautiful thing. Two things here- you can learn more by what's being suppressed than by what's being shown, and you don't get flack unless you're over the target. Can you dig it?

 People are also waking up to the sheer evil of these people, and that's key. I believe it's just as it says in the Good Book- that a light is being shone upon the darkness. We're seeing all this hellish and evil shit right in front of our faces, and you don't have to be "awake" to see it. The deepest sleepers are starting to see the evil, and how that couldn't be I haven't a clue, but better late than never. That same book also says "Woe unto those who take evil for good." "Woe" is a drastic understatement. I'd take it to heart.

 But guess what...with all that evil comes an even greater measure of GOOD. Everything in the Universe strives for a balance, and it can't be all evil. That's where God, my Father, and his Son Jesus Christ come in, but that's another story, and a personal decision whether to accept or reject Him, a choice we all may have to make at some point. Meanwhile people are waking up and it can't be denied, or, thank God, stopped, although they're trying their best. 

 Sadly many people will never wake up until it's too late, to the point of even denying bizarre shit that's going on right in front of their faces. It's resistance to change in any form. There's a cool name for the condition that I forget, but it says that basically some people are so deluded that even if they see things crumbling around them they'll deny it and convince themselves everything is normal, when it's anything but. That's a shame but it's human nature, and for the record it's also talked about in the Good Book. Those people are lost, and if anything happens they'll be helpless. Deny the facts at your own risk.

 People are waking up. Don't be left behind...in more ways than one. God bless, and have a nice day. 
 

Shoutout to the Creator

I broke my "No TV" rule and watched the World Series, since the Braves were in it. After they won they interviewed the manager and several of the players including Dansby Swanson. Dansby hit a two-run dinger and made the last out of the final game. He said something that pleased me immeasurably. 

 He immediately brought up his faith in God, and how it had gotten him through the bad times and the good. Then he talked about how the peace God has given him is amazing. Bingo, Dansby Swanson. That peace comes with something else...a lack of fear, which most people are living under right now, whether they'll admit it or not. The peace God gives is real. Dansby knows.

 Way to go Dansby. Congrats on a great win. More-importantly congrats on your faith in God, and the courage to talk about it. It's a bit of a rarity these days. Maybe we'll play catch one day Up Yonder. God is good.
