mass lt gov smacked down by big brother black box request

Massachusetts Lt. Gov. Timothy Murray attempting to clear name, requested release of black box data from 2007 Crown Victoria totaled in an early morning Nov. 2, 2011 crash. The Yahoo article reminds, "...vehicles built in the past decade carry an event data recorder that captures what's happening in a car in the seconds before, during and after a crash, including the position of the brake and accelerator pedals, whether the driver was using a seat belt, and how fast the car was traveling." In Murray's case, the result from accessing data recorder, "'...State Police cited Murray for speeding, crossing lanes and not wearing a seat belt, leveling a $555 fine. Murray — who heretofore had not admitted driving without a seat belt nor falling asleep — said in a statement to Boston media that "I believe that is what caused my accident.' Black boxes in cars may not be a beloved technology, but they can't hide the truth." Murray asked for it!

mq-9 reaper drones over new york

A Syracuse.com article with video shows how quickly an agenda moves when it takes priority. "The National Defense Authorization Act signed into law last week by President Barack Obama allows for the establishment of six national test sites where drones could fly through civil air space. [Senator Charles] Schumer, D-N.Y., said Tuesday he pushed for the establishment of six spots, instead of the planned four, to improve the chances that Hancock Field would be included. The 174th Fighter Wing has been trying for almost five years to convince the Federal Aviation Administration to allow flights of the MQ-9 Reaper drones out of Hancock Field," reports article.

virococha's voyage

The Sacred Valley of Peru [pictured, left] seat of Inca civilization, only slowly yields its secrets to the outside world. Philip Coppens writes in, "Viracocha's Voyage," a reminder of "...a worldwide phenomenon, of creator beings walking the land, sculpting it as they go, turning into rocks, etc. The phenomenon is well-known with the Aboriginals and their Songlines in Australia." What the civilization of the  Inca Empire represented, is still, largely unknown in Coppen's view. Coppens attributes some of the exclusion from study to the Spanish, who deemed Inca culture primitive due to their practice of human sacrifice.

What is known about the Incas:

"The main interest of the Inca civilization is the “Sacred Valley”, which stretches from Cuczo, the “navel” of the Inca world to Macchu Picchu, the best known Inca structure that was rediscovered by Hiram Bingham in 1911. Practically, the valley continues south of Cuczo, towards Lake Titicaca. Situated at an altitude of 4 kilometres, the lake is the highest navigable lake in the world. It was on an island in this lake, the Island of the Sun, that the Inca legends state that the creator god, Viracocha, appeared on Earth. It is from here that Viracocha’s voyage began. Amidst spectacular scenery, the valley descends to 3400 metres in Cuczo and 2800 metres in Macchu Picchu. Though the rivers will contribute to the Amazon river, it is said that Viracocha continued on his path, walking SE/NW, until he reached the Pacific Ocean."

According to the Creation Myth recorded by Juan de Betanzos:

"...Viracocha rose from Lake Titicaca (or sometimes the cave of Pacaritambo) during the time of darkness to bring forth light. He made the sun, moon, and the stars. He made mankind by breathing into stones, but his first creation were brainless giants that displeased him. So he destroyed it with a flood and made a new, better one from smaller stones. Viracocha eventually disappeared across the Pacific Ocean (by walking on the water), and never returned. He wandered the earth disguised as a beggar, teaching his new creations the basics of civilization, as well as working numerous miracles. He wept when he saw the plight of the creatures he had created.[citation needed] It was thought that Viracocha would re-appear in times of trouble. Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa noted that Viracocha was described as 'a man of medium height, white and dressed in a white robe like an alb secured round the waist, and that he carried a staff and a book in his hands.'"

Coppens sees in more recent approach to study by taking in entire landscape of the Incas, perhaps, a better method that may yield more answers about the civilization?  The author is certain, meanwhile, "...tourists continue to walk the Sacred Path of Viracocha: many travel from Tiahuanaco, to Cuczo, onward to Ollantaytambo [Viracocha's likeness on mountainside, pictured right] and finally Macchu Picchu. The path is a natural way of moving about the country and has been walked for hundreds of generations, from the earliest farmers to the Inca kings… It is an opportunity for every man to walk in the footsteps of Viracocha – God." A recent National Geographic special can be located on You Tube, "Ghosts of Macchu Picchu," and treats viewer to spectacular beauty of these Incan ruins!

more dead birds in arkansas - not a flashback

On New Year's eve for a second year, blackbirds  rained on small city of Beebe, AR, according to ABC News. Two questions jump out to even most casual observer: 1) odds of blackbirds plummeting into ground on same day, one year apart? and 2) blackbirds are not known to fly at night?  Kevin McKinney, a Beebe resident, believes something else may have happened, Saturday night. McKinney claims "...when the birds started dying, I had my compass out: it went crazy, spinning and unable to find north," as stated in this report.  Last year's posts are available here and here. Blackbirds believed to have died upon impact due to trauma. The present writer leans towards electromagnetic anomaly, which may have caused confusion in birds, or possibly, momentary blackout? What is, indeed, going on here!

dutchsinse: expect quake after dead fish wash ashore in norway

Dutchsinse reports large fishkill may be indicator of possible earthquake! It may seem unrelated, argues Dutchsinse, but sees a killoff as anticipating an earthquake.  New Zealand and California cited by Dutchsinse as examples of phenomena. The Extinction Protocol 2012 and beyond website reported 20 tons of dead herring washed ashore on New Year's Eve, outside of Tromso, Norway. It'll be interesting to see if Dutchsinse's prediction pans out?  What would be the causal relationship?

no, you can't build a big computer to model the financial markets

from forbes: I’m afraid this has to come under the title of one of the sillier ways of wasting the taxpayers’ money that has been recently advanced. The idea is to build a really big computer model of the financial markets and thus work out where and when they’re going to fail next. Sadly, the idea is going to fail itself, hopefully before anyone spends any money on it.
