Sky News: Trumpet Sounds Return, Waterspouts in Croatia, Alaska Earthquake & Volcano

Busy days ahead for the Earth Changes News Report:

First on the agenda, the "Trumpets in the Sky" phenomenon that began roughly two years ago has returned, this time to Saskatchewan, Canada. The eerie sound, which has been heard over the past few years from places as far-flung as Costa Rica, Sweden as well as Canada and the US, was reported yesterday in Terrence, Saskatchewan, by multiple witnesses and reported by the local media and can be heard at the following link: Eerie Sounds Reported in Canada:

A physics professor at the University of Saskatchewan theorized that it's likely electromagnetic noise emitted from auroras and radiation belts. Incidentally, a large Coronal Mass Ejection from the sun was witnessed yesterday. Could this be the explanation for the odd sounds and are these the same "trumpet-like" noises talked about in biblical prophecies?

 There are more odd, climate change anomalies also being reported, actually probably too many to list here in a timely manner. A stunning group of at least twenty separate waterspouts were documented in the Adriatic Sea off the coast of Dubrovnik, Croatia, yesterday. Video of the waterspouts can be viewed at the following link: 20 Waterspouts Spotted in Croatia

Deadly and record-breaking cold and snowy weather has hit parts of South America, including Brazil and Peru. The largest snow in decades has fallen in Brazil, while a bitter cold snap has claimed the lives of more than 250,000 alpacas and other live stock in Peru, Bolivia and Paraguay. The inclement weather is also responsible for the deaths of at least five people across the region. Link to full story: 

In a [perhaps] related Earth Changes story, a new volcanic geyser erupted outside of the Rome airport this past week as well, ejecting ash and debris some fifteen-feet into the air, and causing temporary delays at Fiumicino airport, which is Europe's sixth busiest. Full story here:

Meanwhile, yet ANOTHER massive haboob (dust storm) has blanketed Phoenix, Arizona, the fifth or sixth in what, less than two years now? (I've honestly lost count...)

And scientists "think" they have discovered what is causing literally thousands of beautiful dolphins and porpoises to die around the world: Dolphin deaths linked to measles-like contagion:

That troubling sinkhole in Assumption Parish, Louisiana, continues to grow at an alarming rate. It has now reached a size of over twenty-five acres and shows no signs of stopping. Insane new video from the scene shows the geological anomaly gobbling up a large groups of trees in mere seconds! (Possible cross-links to Gulf of Mexico oil "volcano" from 2010.)

Veniaminof Volcano in Alaska erupted with new intensity only yesterday, emitting an immense ash cloud over three miles into the air. The eruption came after a strong 7.0 earthquake rocked the remote region in the Aleutian Islands chain. Yet, scientists claim that the temblor and volcanic eruption are "unrelated". Of course... More information on the volcano can be found here:  (Geologic upheaval)

Add  to all of this the possible specter of war in Syria, and you have the recipe for what? I'm not exactly certain there are words for where all of these things are leading. Individually, these news stories might not seem all that alarming, but when added together, in a space of less than twenty-four hours, I feel it is obvious we are now crossing into new, uncharted territory.

I won't sugar-coat things, as I feel that is insulting. Anyone now pretending that you are not currently being affected by the collision of all of these various, disturbing events is living in a dream world. You are absolutely being affected by this, each and every day. You are affected each time you purchase food, as you watch the price go up precipitously over each passing day. You are paying the price when you gas up your car at the pump, and you have to make changes to your budget about what you now can or cannot afford. What item will you have to go without today or this week? You are paying the cost each time your insurance bill arrives in the mail, as you watch your premiums skyrocket. Those "super-storm" and mass tornado outbreak clean-ups are not cheap, or is that not something anyone cares to ponder?

Feeling sick lately? Finding yourself at the doctor's office more than you ever remember?  Join the crowd, as the climatic earth changes manifesting all around us affects the health of not just humans, but also our animal companions. These chaotic earth changes are also affecting our mental health, as more and more people go off the deep end or are turning to drugs and alcohol to numb the stunning realization of what we are witnessing, all around us, twenty-four hours a day. You hear the stories leading off the news broadcast every evening now. They can no longer be ignored.

I will continue to monitor these events, so stay tuned for any new or breaking information...

Long in the Tooth: Man Wants to Clone John Lennon with Extracted Tooth DNA

 

A Canadian dentist who purchased an extracted molar that once belonged in the mouth of former Beatle John Lennon has revealed that he plans to have the music icon cloned by using DNA from the molar... a la Jurassic Park!

Dr. Michael Zuk purchased the decayed molar from the original owner—a former housekeeper of Lennon's—at auction in 2011, paying £19,100 ($30,000 US) for the tooth. In a press release submitted this week, Zuk claims that the DNA value of the tooth is "easily worth $2.5 million to the right company", adding "It actually is priceless if it means we can clone the Beatle."  Regarding the cloning, Zuk says, "With researchers working on ways to clone mammoths, the same technology certainly could make human cloning a reality".

In 1996, scientists at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, made headlines when they successfully managed to clone a sheep named Dolly by using the extracted DNA from another sheep. Since then, great strides have been made in cloning, but ethical and moral ramifications have kept the procedure from going main stream.

Lennon was shot and  killed in 1980 by crazed fan Mark David Chapman while entering his apartment building the Dakota in New York City's Upper West Side. He was forty-years-old at the time of his death. 

Meow Mix: Cat Lady Gets Eaten by Feline Horde

A woman in England who lived as a recluse in a house with a large brood of cats and dogs was apparently eaten by her pets after she died!

By the time local authorities discovered the body of 56-year-old Janet Veal, she'd been dead for as long as three months. Her house made for a gruesome scene, littered with the rotting carcasses of numerous pet cats and dogs that had been confined in the house after her death and had died of apparent starvation.

The coroner's report believes that Veal died of natural causes, possibly from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, but discovered evidence that her body had been eaten upon by the cats and dogs that had been in her care, in a desperate attempt to stave off a horrible death by starvation. Only a few of the cats had survived by eating the remains of their owner.

Investigators report that the house was in a complete state of disarray, suggesting that Veal was a hoarder. Many hoarders of personal effects also become pet hoarders, not knowing when to stop adding more animals to their menageries, even when they are rendered unable, physically or financially, to care for them.

Long Overdue: Borrowed Library Book Returned After 185 Years

A history book checked out of a library has finally been returned...185 years after it was borrowed!

The book, volume two of a series titled Ancient Civilizations by distinguished author Charles Rollin, was checked out of the Centre College's Grace Doherty Library in Danville, Kentucky, on July 21, 1854. At the time, Franklin Pierce was the 14th President of the United States, and Kentucky was still a slave state. Someone had inscribed a rather intriguing note in the back of the book which reads, "From this date, I shall eat neither meat nor gravy."

The overdue book was recently discovered in the nearby Kentucky School for Deaf. An inscription in the book states it was originally published and placed in the library's collection in the year 1828.

The director of the library states that there are eight volumes in the series Ancient Civilizations and that all of the volumes have disappeared from the library's extensive inventory over the years. The returned volume is potentially worth a great deal of money and an important historical find, so it more than likely will not be available for library-goers to check out in the future. If late charges were to be imposed on the overdue title at ten cents a day, the late charge would amount to almost  $7000.

Baboons' Strange Behavior at Dutch Zoo Has Experts Puzzled

A large group of baboons (known as a troop) at a zoo in the Netherlands have been exhibiting some strange behaviors, which have park guests spooked and animal experts baffled. It seems something has frightened the baboons located at the Dierenpark Emmen Zoo. Instead of their normal, social behaviors, the baboons have been highly agitated and frightened, refusing to eat and turning their backs on the thousands of visitors who have come to the park to view them, staring off in one direction, and we are not talking about the English boy band!

It is the first time zoologists and other animal experts have witnessed the animals exhibit such behavior, either in captivity or in the wild."The baboons were hysterical," says zoo spokesman Wijbren Landman. "They were not jumping around but were behaving strangely."

Several strange theories as to why the animals are acting so odd have been tossed about, including the idea that the baboons sense an approaching earthquake or other disaster. Some have even suggested the bizarre behavior is being influenced by aliens!

The baboons have gradually become less agitated over the last day and are back to eating apple wedges from their minder's buckets. They are venturing into other areas of their enclosure and are fighting and removing fleas from each other again, which are normal behaviors for the animals.

Alexis Vs. Mrs. Partridge? Joan Collins Steaming Mad over Shirley Jones New Book

 Update: Apparently what Joan wants, Joan gets! After Joan's lawyers sent the publishers of Shirley's book Simon & Schuster a nasty cease and desist order with the threat of a libel suit, the publishers have agreed to eliminate any mention of Joan in all upcoming prints of the book as well as all digital copies sold. But, no news is bad news when it comes to book publishing and publicity, as Joan very well knows. She famously had to defend herself in court in the 90s after her book publisher tried to renege on her book contract, worth almost four millions dollars. The publishers claimed the manuscript she submitted was unpublishable, but Joan won the suit and got to keep the millions she was paid in advance. Certainly, Joan has taken advice from her bestselling novelist sister, Jackie (Hollywood Wives, Lovers & Gamblers), one of the world's most famous and richest authors!

This sounds very much like one of those delectable catfights between Alexis Morelle Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan and Krystal Carrington on the ultimate 80s glamour-fest Dynasty…

It seems that former Dynasty vixen Dame Joan Collins is not-very-pleased with the former Mrs. Partridge of The Partridge Family, Academy-Award winning actress Shirley Jones. The displeasure stems from a steamy anecdote Shirley included in her bestselling memoir. In the new book, Shirley claims that the first time she met aspiring starlet Collins in the 1960s, Collins’ then-husband, the late actor Anthony Newley, suggested a four-some with Jones and her husband of the time, Jack Cassidy. “It was clear what Tony was leading up to was swinging,” Jones writes in her new book.

This has irked Ms. Collins, now 80, who calls the claims “utter rubbish”. Joan contacted her busy lawyers and had them write up a cease and desist order, demanding the book be removed from stores and online retailers and vetted to have the anecdote removed from the publication!

For her part, Shirley is not backing down, claiming the story is one-hundred percent accurate and the truth. Will there be a dramatic courtroom scene coming out of all this or will we see Joan and Shirley battling it out in the lily pond a la Dynasty? I’m sure that would definitely spikes sales of both Shirley’s memoir as well as Joan’s long list of potboiler trash! 

You've Been Slimed: Snail Beauty Facials!

The world is no secret to strange beauty treatments (kitty litter face scrubs, bird poop facials...) and now comes the latest beauty trick that is all the rage in Japan (where else?)... slimy snail treatments.

An exclusive salon in Tokyo has been charging a pretty yen for the privilege of allowing the creepy crawlies to slither around their clientele’s pampered faces... all in the name of beauty. Apparently, the slime the snails secrete contains an anti-wrinkle ingredient. According to The Telegraph UK:

"The secreted snail mucus is key to the facial, as it reportedly contains a beauty-boosting cocktail of proteins, antioxidants and hyaluronic acid, which help skin retain moisture, reduce inflammation and remove dead skin."

Indeed, the anti-inflammatory nature of the snail mucus was known centuries ago by certain indigenous South American tribes, but having snails crawl around one’s face? What is involved in that bird poop beauty treatment again? 

You can watch a demonstration of the icky beauty treatment in the video below:

They Flew Away: A Story of Hope

Friends and family:

My latest book They Flew Away: A Story of Hope has now been published. I am most proud of this book, out of anything that I have written. Although it is a highly emotional story, it is my sincerest hope that readers feel the true weight of the book. I believe it is important that parents and teachers share this story with their children/students, and that it brings about an open, honest discussion about violence in this world. I also hope that it brings about a discussion of spirituality, the acceptance of death, and not to fear and to hold true to your beliefs.

The book is now available directly from the publishers as well as through Amazon.com. A kindle version is available for those with digital readers here. I would like to take the time to personally thank everyone who has supported me as well as my writing over the years. You have all been invaluable to me, giving me the strength to persevere and continue writing. You know who you are and you are all the best!

From the bestselling author of Evangeline, Alive & Well: A Story of Hope, comes a moving and inspirational story...

On a beautiful, snow day just before Christmas in a peaceful, small town in Indiana, the children in Mrs. Alcove's First Grade class are preparing for the start of holiday vacation. Suddenly, a stranger with a gun enters their school, shattering the peace of a once serene day.

With courage and grace, the students and their teacher must face pure evil as they each fly away to a place of forever peace and beauty to meet their destiny.

They Flew Away by Miguel Dante is a tale of hope in the face of unimaginable sorrow and suffering and a story never to be forgotten.

Forgotten 80s Euro-Classic: Doot Doot by Freur

Ave-Maria: Salvation? A New Science-Fiction Short

 I wrote and directed my own sci-fi short film titled Ave-Maria: Salvation? Although this is a work of fiction, it is however based on alleged actual events that took place at the CERN Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, Switzerland, involving contact with an extra-terrestrial entity who gave scientists dire predictions regarding the future of our planet, the infamous Me Tel U 2008 predictions, many which have already come to pass:

July 4, 2019: Planet Earth is on the brink of complete economic and societal collapse brought on by the ravages of runaway climate change. In a last ditch effort to save the planet,  astrophysicist Pasquale Goldstein and his colleagues at the CERN facility in Switzerland have initiated contact with ALIEN ENTITY A (Ave-Maria), an extra-terrestrial being from an unknown solar system approximately two million light years from Earth.

The entity has shared information with the scientists, claiming to have a device that could save Earth from destruction, if they can successfully transport the instrument via a wormhole created by the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. With the threat of a global thermonuclear war looming as the remaining populace battle for the few available resources the planet still offers, it is a race against time to bring salvation to humanity...

Angry Giraffe Attacks Safari Tourists!

And we always thought Geoffrey the Giraffe was the perfect, non-threatening mascot for Toys 'R Us...

Tourists hoping to get up close and personal with wildlife while on safari in the Kruger National Park in South Africa got a little too close for comfort when a thirteen-foot tall, two & a half ton bull giraffe decided to attack!

Video from the scene shows the tourists enjoying a beautiful day out in the bush, observing the incredible animals and sights the world-famous park has to offer. Suddenly, a male giraffe takes exception to the holiday makers and their tour guide and driver and he starts to charge their open-air jeep!

The jeep takes off, but the cranky giraffe continues his pursuit. He even rams the jeep with his powerful, long neck, which actually does some minor damage to the vehicle, taking out a headlight! The giraffe continues to give chase as the safari tourists excitedly shout out expletives in Afrikaans, before the lumbering beast finally tires and stops in his tracks.

As large as they are, experts say that giraffes can actually run as fast as 35-miles-per-hour, a fairly quick pace! Vets believe a hormonal imbalance might be the cause of the animal's crankiness. Either that, or he just finally got sick of the paparazzo...You can check out the scary attack in the video below:

Junk Food Resurrection: Twinkies Set to Return Soon!

Junk food enthusiasts now have reason to rejoice...junk food staple Twinkies will be returning to store shelves as of July 15!!!

Late last year, it was thought that the oh-so-scrumptious sponge cake treat with the non-decomposing cream filling was lost to distraught Americans forever when the Hostess manufacturing company filed for bankruptcy after an acrimonious labor strike with Unionized workers.

 The company is now back up and running once again under new ownership and a much leaner financial structure (unlike the people who gobble down their fat-laden treats). The company promises fans that Twinkies will be back on store shelves just in time for summer fairs and carnivals, where Deep Fried Twinkies are considered a delicacy and harden the arteries of citizens everywhere!

The company also promises that the golden sponge treats will taste exactly the same as you remember. The boxes will now feature a witty new tag line "The Sweetest Comeback in History of Ever!" Other popular Hostess products such as Ho Hos and Ding Dongs should follow suit and make their grand returns to grocery stores everywhere over the course of the summer.

Nanu Nanu! English Politician Claims He Fathered Alien Hybrid Child!

We have heard of some interesting sex scandals involving British politicians over the years, but this story is definitely out of this world! 

Simon Parkes, an elected council member for the town of Whitby on the Yorkshire Coast, England, claims that he is the father of an alien/human hybrid daughter named Zarka! Apparently, Parkes knocked some intergalactic boots with Zarka's extraterrestrial mother, whom he refers to as The Cat Queen (Crazy Cat Lady, more likely).  Parkes also claims that his real mother is a "nine foot tall green alien with eight fingers" (is that total fingers or fingers on one hand?), according to an interview he gave for an upcoming documentary Confessions of an Alien Abductee for England's Channel Four Network (in an obvious effort to get one over on the BBC when it comes to quality, highbrow entertainment). 

The 53-year-old says that he has been receiving random booty calls from his alien friend with benefits about four times a year for a number of years now. Apparently, Parke's human wife (how did he ever land one of those?) isn't too happy about the extra-terrestrial/extra-marital hanky panky, but she has accepted it because the sex is "not on a human level" (We bet!)...

He describes the sexual encounters in a fairly clinical manner: "What will happen is that we will hold hands and I will say 'I’m ready' and then the technology I don’t understand will take us up to a craft orbiting the earth," he told  local online news site The Northern Echo. No word on whether Zarka is expecting any hybrid siblings anytime soon.

You can listen to Parkes give details of his alien love life in the following video (be warned, it's pretty snoozerific, so no sexy, alien porn here!):

Murky Crystal Ball: Texas Psychic Ordered to Pay $7 Million for Bad Prediction

How come she didn't see this coming?

A psychic medium in Texas has been ordered to pay up almost $7 Million US in damages to a Houston area couple after her murky crystal ball churned out some very bad predictions. The bizarre case all began back in 2011 when the alleged psychic Presley "Rhonda" Gridley (who goes by the name of Angel), told authorities she had been having clairvoyant dreams and visions of a mass grave on the property of Houston couple Joe Bankston and Gena Charlton.

Madame Zelda's claims brought about a media frenzy in the city, as at the time there were a series of missing and abducted children in the area. The couple filed suit against Gridley, alleging that she called the Liberty County Sheriff's Office and falsely claimed that 25 to 30 dismembered bodies—including those of young children— were buried in a mass grave at the plaintiffs' residence. The complaint also stated that the defendant's false statements injured the couple's reputation in the community and exposed them to public hatred, contempt, ridicule and grievous financial injury as well as putting their lives in danger.

Judge Carl Ginsburg awarded $3 million in damages to Bankson and $3,849,000 to Charlton, plus 5 percent interest from the date of the occurrence in 2011. Ginsberg found that Gridley had made defamatory statements about Bankson and Charlton when she volunteered false information to the Liberty County Sheriff's Office, claiming that a mass grave containing dismembered bodies was located on the plaintiff's property.

No word on how Grindley is going to conjure up that $7 Million!

Pooper Scooper: Spanish Town Mails Dog Poop Left in Park Back to Owners

The town of Brunete, Spain, is not taking the matter of dog owners who fail to clean up after their pets while using public parks lightly. Now, the negligent dog owners who decide not to scoop up the poop Fido left behind are having the smelly excrement returned to them...via the mail!

Officials in the town outside of the Spanish capital of Madrid have recruited up to twenty Poop Spies to keep watch over the town's open, public areas. When one of the recruits spots a dog owner leaving their pet's Tootsie Rolls behind, they approach them and strike up a conversation, inquiring about the breed of dog as well as the pet's name. In Spain, it is the law to register your pet, so the spies can quickly access the data base and find out the name and address of the pet owner.

Soon enough, the excrement is parceled back to the owner, tagged as a "Lost and Found" item. (No word if the Spanish Post Office charges extra to set the package on fire, ring the door bell and watch from the bushes as the pet owners try to stamp out the hot, smelly mess.) To make things even more embarrassing, the Pooper Scooper Vendetta Gang often film the return of the poop and post in on social media sites.

Directly as a result of the highly unusual campaign, local officials claim that the amount of excrement incidents in the streets have been reduced by at least 70% since being implemented earlier this year.

As Triumph the Insult Comic Dog would eloquently put it, "That's really wonderful...for me to poop on!!!".
