COLD CASE CARBON 14


















Knowing I’m a sucker for both crime and weird science, our pal HCB (may his initials be blessed) sent me over the following from Fox of all places.…

“Former U.S. nuclear weapons titan Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is applying its bomb know-how to help solve police cold cases. Lawrence Livermore was established in the Cold War to advance American nuclear weapons. The lab was responsible for many pivotal advances, from thermonuclear missile warheads for submarines to developing the first high-yield warheads small enough to be carried in bulk on a ballistic missile. Now the national lab is applying its expertise in nuclear "bomb pulse" radiocarbon analysis to help solve cold cases…and have created a new way to figure out ages and birth dates on those cases  The new approach, combining Livermore’s bomb know-how with new anthropological analysis and forensic DNA techniques, has already yielded results.” Click here for all.

SUNDAY BREAKFAST
















“Farren has a habit – when he can be bothered to make a Sunday post in the dismal wake of Saturday night – of running something under the generic title of “Sunday Breakfast” which can about pretty much anything – bacon, bourbon, or baroque behavior, rubber or rubbing alcohol. And this is immediately followed by something called “Marilyn Sez…” in which I contribute some smart-ass one liner of either the great cynicism or morbid philosophy of which only a dead movie goddess, deeply embedded in the conspiracy theories of the 20th century, would be capable. Today, the two have finally melded and we wonder if this is a coincidence, a happy accident, or a deliberate penetration of a major reality membrane possibly engineered by agents of Ah Puch the Destroyer. And talking of membranes and Ah Puch the Destroyer older Doc40 readers will recall that this all started with an inter-reality psycho-fi quasi-fumetti called “The Adventures Of Marilyn” that concluded when I decided I didn’t want to be a Dionysian agent in the Apollonian War On Chaos and more. The “The Adventures Of Marilyn” may be long gone but the classic episodes are still entombed in their own blog and you are all invited to revisit it. Just click here (but remember it’s a blog and it runs backwards. What else in psycho-fi?)

GOD IS GOD BUT ELVIS IS ELVIS















The good guys at Headpress have just published Gathering Of The Tribes: Music and Heavy Conscious Creation to which I contributed an essay on Elvis, Nick Cave, and Satan. Today our pals at Dangerous Mind posted an excerpt….

“Even the most cursory theological (or even Reichian) shakedown will reveal that rock’n’roll has quantum multiples of the potential mythic/mystic power ever commanded by conventional Satanism. Where so much of contemporary Satanism—with its upside down crosses, modified but still liturgical robes and rituals, its ammended litanies, the serving of a faux-Eucharist from the naked torso of an immobilized cooch dancer on bad acid (shout out, hey, Susan Atkins!)—reveals it as nothing nothing more than an inverted critique of Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular. (Much in the way that Marxism was essentially a critique of Victorian capitalism rather than a stand alone philosophy.)

THIS IS SVITLANA – SHE MAY BE THE NEXT SENATE SEX SCANDAL














They say power has its perks. Just don’t get caught. Unfortunately Sen. Bob Menendez seems to have forgotten this last part. Or that at least is what the Daily Caller claims…. 

“As The Daily Caller tells it. A senator’s life is really rough, allegedly. Meet Svitlana Buchyk, a Russian beauty who is suddenly at the center of a prostitution scandal that threatens to send Democratic New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez the way of former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer.  “Sveta,” as she’s called, is “a young Russian who lives in Miami, Florida and travels frequently to New York,” according to a dossier compiled by Peter Williams, a mysterious whistle-blower who started circulating information in 2012 about the prostitutes Democratic donor Dr. Salomon Melgen allegedly provided to Menendez. “This girl is one of the most regular participants in the activities the Doctor arranges for the Senator,” Williams wrote. “She has traveled with them in the jet, sailed with them in the yacht, and has repeatedly visited the Doctor’s house.” The Miami Herald managed to contact Buchyk on Jan. 31. She confirmed that she has worked for Melgen, but wouldn’t say what kind of duties she performed for him. Menendez is set to take over the chairmanship of the Senate foreign relations committee any day now. That’s not a joke. It’s really called the U.S. Senate Committee on “Foreign Relations.”

SUNDAY BREAKFAST

















So the Maya got it wrong, the meteorite did hit us in the Urals and cause a shitload of  grief but the big boy – the 150 ft city-killer – missed us by a whisker. All of which leaves with not much to laugh at this weekend except the absurd and totally hypocritical Euro horsemeat horror. Get real people. Eating Black Beauty is no more or no less ethical than eating Daisy or Babe. I schooled myself long ago that, while I remained a carnivore, I would never think too much about the brown mystery meat in a Big Mac.

SOYLENT GREEN ISN’T PEOPLE – YET














This comment on an item on Common Dreams started me wondering if corporate capitalism actually wants to reshape the entire world in its own image. Because that image is ugly in the extreme..  

“It is in the SELF Interest of Mosanto for the natural honeybee population to go extinct as Mosanto develops its own genetically modified bee. The less natural honeybees, the greater the profits for Mosanto. So it is with the fish farming industry and companies like Aquabounty. It is in their self interests for the natural population of salmon to vanish. This will maximize their profits. These "self interests" collide with anothers "self interest". So the consumer that wants to eat organic and avoid these GMO products will have a direct impact on the "self interest" of the Company wishing to force their own product on them. It is in the "self interest" of the Politicians to side with the Corporations. They will receive outight bribes from the Corporations, be assured cushy jobs with the Corporation once their JOB is done, and see all manner of monies come their way when they are campaigning for office from those Corporations. "Self Interest" is the holy grail of the Randians and the Libertarians and those that speak to the magic of "The market". To them it a wonderful thing. Interest in only the self is leading to destruction of our Natural World across the entire globe.” Click here for the whole story.
