The Thammasat University massacre (in Thailand known simply as "the 6 October event", Thai: เหตุการณ์ 6 ตุลา rtgs: Hetkan Hok Tula) was an attack by Thai state forces and far-right paramilitaries on student protesters that occurred on the campus of Thammasat University and the adjacent Sanam Luang square in downtown Bangkok, Thailand on 6 October 1976. Prior to the massacre, four to five thousand students from various universities had been demonstrating for more than a week against the return to Thailand from Singapore of former military dictator Thanom Kittikachorn.
A day before the massacre, the Thai press reported on a play staged by student protesters the previous day, which allegedly featured a scene of the mock hanging of the Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn. In response to this alleged outrage, military and police as well as paramilitary forces surrounded the university. Just before dawn on 6 October, the attack on the student protesters began and continued until noon. To this day, the actual numbers of casualties remain disputed between the Thai government and survivors of the massacre. According to the government, 46 died in the conflagration, with 167 wounded and 3,000 arrested even though many survivors claim that the death toll was well over 100.[1]
Exterior pressure from the Cold War was not insignificant in regards to the event, according to Chaiyan Chaiyaporn, political science scholar at Chulalongkorn University. [2]
Immediate causes[edit]
The 14 October 1973 uprising overthrew the unpopular Thanom regime and saw him flee Thailand together with General Praphas Charusathien and General Narong Kittikachorn, collectively known as the "Three Tyrants".[3] The growing unrest and instability from 1973 to 1976 as well as the fear of communism from neighboring countries spreading in Thailand and threatening the interests of the monarchy and the military convinced the latter to decide to bring the former leaders Thanom and Praphas back to Thailand to control the situation. In response to the return of Praphas's return on 17 August, thousands of students demonstrated at Thammasat University for four days until a clash with Red Gaur and Nawaphon toughs left four dead.[4] On 19 September, Thanom returned to Thailand and headed straight from the airport to Wat Bovornives, where he was ordained as a monk in a private ceremony. Massive anti-Thanom protests broke out as the government faced an internal crisis after Prime Minister Seni's attempt to tender his resignation was rejected by the Thai Parliament. On 25 September, in Nakhon Pathom, west of Bangkok, two activists putting up anti-Thanom posters were beaten to death and hung from a wall, an outrage that was soon established to be the work of Thai police.[5] A dramatization of this hanging was staged by student protesters in Thammasat University on 4 October. Deliberately or unfortunately, the student at the end of the garrote bore a resemblance to the prince.[6] The following day, as Seni struggled to put together his cabinet, the newspaper Dao Siam published a photograph of the mock hanging on its front page.[7] With the tacit approval of King Bhumibol, announcers on army-controlled radio stations accused the student protesters of lèse-majesté and mobilized the King's paramilitary forces Village Scouts, Nawaphon and Red Gaurs to "kill the communists".[8] During dusk on 5 October, some 4000 people from these paramilitary forces as well as the military and police personnel gathered outside the Thammasat University where student protesters had been protesting for weeks. This set the scene for the Thammasat University massacre the following day.[9]
At dawn on 6 October, the military and the police as well as the three paramilitary forces began blocking all exits out of the university and shooting into the campus, using M-16s, carbines, pistols, grenade launchers, and even large-gauge recoil-less rifles.[10] Prevented from leaving the campus or even sending the wounded to the hospital, the students begged for a cease-fire even though the attacks continued.[11] The actors in the mock hanging had already turned themselves in to Seni at the prime minister's offices.[12] When one student came out to surrender, he was shot and killed.[13] After a free-fire order was issued by the Bangkok police chief, the campus was stormed, with Border Patrol Police personnel in front leading the attack.[14] Students diving into the Chaophraya River were shot at by navy vessels while others who surrendered, lying down on the ground, were picked up and beaten, many to death.[15] Some were hung from trees and beaten, others were set afire while female students were raped, alive and dead, by police and Red Gaurs.[16] The massacre continued for several hours, and was only halted at noon by a rainstorm.[17]
Immediate aftermath[edit]
On the afternoon of 6 October after the massacre, the major factions of the military which formed the general staff agreed in principle to overthrow Seni, a plot that King Bhumibol was well aware of and approved, which in turn ensured the success of the coup-makers.[18] Later that night, Admiral Sangad Chaloryu, the newly appointed Supreme Commander, announced that the military, under the name of the "National Administrative Reform Council" (NARC) had seized power to "prevent a Vietnamese-backed communist plot" and to preserve the "Thai monarchy forever".[19] The King appointed the anti-communist and royalist judge Thanin to lead a government that was composed of those who were loyal to the King, including Samak Sundaravej who was appointed the Minister of Interior). From the time he was appointed premier, Thanin and his cabinet restored the repressive climate which had existed before 1973.[20]
Return of bureaucratic polity[edit]
Over a period of forty years from 1932 when the absolute monarchy was abolished until 1973 when military rule was overthrown in favor of democracy, military officers and civil servants held much sway in Thai politics and dominated the government, with King Bhumibol serving as the ceremonial head of state in accordance with his role as a constitutional monarch established by the 1932 constitution. The Thai political system was known as a bureaucratic polity which was dominated by military personnel and civilian bureaucrats.[21] The massacre disproved the argument that the bureaucratic polity was on the retreat as the military came to play a central role once more in Thai politics, a situation that would continue throughout the 1970s and 1980s until the 1988 general election when all seats were democratically elected, including that of the Prime Minister, which from 1976 to 1988 was appointed by the King.
Withdrawal symptoms[edit]
Following in the footsteps of previous military strongmen like Plaek Phibunsongkhram and Sarit Thanarat, Thanom became the Prime Minister in 1963 following Sarit's death and oversaw a period of massive influx of financial aid from the United States and Japan, fueling the Thai economy, as well as increasing American cultural influence. Yet, by the early 1970s, the Americans were beginning to withdraw their troops from Indochina. In such a context, the Thai middle class and petty bourgeoisie who had come out in force in support of the students' protests in 1973 to topple the Thanom regime should be understood more as a product of their immediate history than as a portent of their future political role.[22] They almost completely lacked political experience and so had no real idea of what the consequences of ending the dictatorship would be while the regime was simultaneously blamed both for failing to exact fuller commitments to Thailand and for excessive subservience to Washington.[23] This indicates that the support given by the Thai middle class and petty bourgeoisie to the 1973 student protests was not an unconditional stamp of approval for democratic processes and the attendant chaos that followed. The "chaotic democracy" from 1973 to 1976 was seen as having threatened the economic interests of the middle class and petty bourgeoisie who favored stability and peace above democracy. In light of this, while they supported the mass demonstrations against the Thanom regime leading up to the uprising on 14 October 1973, they turned their backs on democracy, hence the term "withdrawal symptoms", and welcomed the return to dictatorship on 6 October 1976, heralding the end of the period of "chaotic democracy".
King Bhumibol's role[edit]
While King Bhumibol had supported the student protesters in their demonstrations in 1973 that led to the downfall of the Thanom regime and resulted in a period of "chaotic democracy" from 1973 to 1976, he turned against them by 1976 and according to many scholars, played a crucial, if not the most important, role in bringing about the massacre and a return to military rule after a three-year flirtation with democracy. There were two reasons for this seeming about-face. Firstly, Thailand's neighbors either were facing communist insurgencies or had fallen to communist rule and become communist countries. The United States was also withdrawing its military presence from the region. 1975 was a pivotal year in the trajectory of the King's involvement in politics. South Vietnam fell to the communists and the Communist Party of Vietnam was able to unify the country under its rule and drive out the Americans. In Cambodia, the communist Khmer Rouge took over the capital Phnom Penh and began a reign of terror that would only end in 1979. The incident that arguably shook the Thai monarchy to the core was the overthrow of the Lao Royal Family, to which it traditionally had cultural and historical links, by the Lao People's Revolutionary Party in 1975. Secondly, the period of "chaotic democracy" saw relative instability and chaos as demonstrations, strikes and protests took place much more frequently. This threatened the economic interests of the monarchy, as represented by the Crown Property Bureau, which favored a stable and peaceful economic environment that would allow its businesses to thrive.
King Bhumibol wields his influence through "network monarchy" that is centered on the Privy Council President Prem Tinsulanonda and one of the main features of the network monarchy is that the monarch intervened actively in political developments, largely by working through proxies such as privy councilors and trusted military figures.[24] This network monarchy suggests that contrary to popular belief that the King is a constitutional monarch and is above politics, he has been intimately involved in Thai politics and has often intervened in order to secure his political and economic interests. The instability brought about by the student protesters until 1976 as well as the growing specter of communist threat in the region, especially after the "domino effect" where Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos fell in succession to the communists, convinced King Bhumibol to see the protesters as a threat to his rule. The Thai state and its politicians subsequently branded these students as well as workers and farmers as "communists" and a "fifth column for the Communist Party of Thailand (CPT) and North Vietnam."[25] Yet, there was little evidence for the claim that protesters, including students protesting at Thammasat University, were communists. While the CPT had grown in strength, they were far from a unified force and they appealed to peasants by focusing on social injustices while avoiding attacking the monarchy and Buddhism; their expansion was arguably fueled more by the government's alienation of the peasantry.[26] This suggests that the term "communists" was applied very liberally and indiscriminately and more often than not, deliberately on those who were deemed to be the sources of instability that threaten the monarchy and the King. In the Thai state's discourse, communism is simply the enemy of the Nation, Religion(Buddhism), and Monarchy and is simply Enemy Number One of Thainess and thus external to Thainess.[27] One of the most persistent strategies of counterinsurgency was to link the socialists, communists and the Left with the external threat.[28] In order to deal effectively with the "communist" threat that could undermine his rule and status, on top of deploying the legal forces such as the Thai military and police, King Bhumibol, through his network monarchy, also incited three major paramilitary forces, namely the Village Scouts, Nawaphon and Red Gaurs, in perpetrate violence against the student protesters from 1973 to 1976 which eventually culminate in the massacre.
Village Scouts[edit]
The Village Scouts is a countrywide organization that the King and Queen of Thailand have sponsored for the general public since 1972 in order to promote national unity and its purpose is to provide a large non-military bulwark against threats to Thai independence and freedom, particularly against "communism".[29] Thus, the Village Scouts movement was set up explicitly for a political purpose, which was to protect the monarchy from the "communist" threat. The program that all Village Scout cadets went through focused upon central features of Thai identity: the love for play, deep respect for the King and for religion (Buddhism), and the sense of an ethnic Thai "special-ness".[30] The King thus has been discursively constructed as central to the Thai nation and as a symbol to be protected at all costs, alongside the nation and religion, forming the Thai nationalist shibboleth "Nation, Religion, King". The movement of the Village Scouts not only helped to provide continuous evidence of militant political support, outside the Bangkok upper class, among the "establishments" of provincial capitals, small towns and even some villages" for the King, but also helped to legitimize private, localized repression of protesting peasants and student activists as essential for the preservation of Nation-Religion-King".[31] Towards the end of the period from 1973 to 1976, Village Scouts membership had risen to tens of thousands, almost all in rural, CPT-confronted Thailand and after the Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC) takeover, the Village Scouts metamorphosed into a fascist-style mass political movement that would play a major role in the massacre.[32]
Nawaphon was an ISOC operation organized in 1974 by several military personnel and was made up of mainly low-level government functionaries and clerks, petty-bourgeoisie and rural village and commune headmen as well as a number of monks.[33] The name "Nawaphon" meant "nine strengths", a reference to either the Chakri Ninth Reign[34] or the nine points of its program designed to preserve Thai nationalism.[35] The establishment of the Nawaphon movement was thus based closely on the purpose of protecting and safeguarding the King from threats like communism. A key figure of the movement was notorious monk Kittivuddho who became its leader in 1975. In an interview where he was asked if killing leftists or communists would produce demerit or negative karma, he said that such killing would not be demeritorious because "whoever destroys the nation, the religion or the monarchy, such bestial types are not complete persons. Thus, we must intend not to kill people but to kill the Devil; this is the duty of all Thai".[36] In 1967, he established the Jittiphawan College which was inaugurated by King Bhumibol and Queen Sirikit who returned regularly even after Kittivudho began to make incendiary speeches about the need to deal with the students and the "communists".[37] This suggests the close relationship between the Nawaphon movement, whose head was Kittivuddho, and the royal family. Employing the slogan that "Killing Communists is not Demeritorious", Kittivuddho encouraged the killings of alleged communists among Thais from 1973 to 1976 and introduced militant Buddhism into the Thai political landscape, eventually inciting his followers to commit the violence at Thammasat University on 6 October. The Nawaphon movement was also responsible for the killing of more than 20 prominent farmer activists in 1975.[38] The assassinations were an attempt to negate the farmers' new-found political agency and voices and in so doing, return them to their pre-October 1973 state of relative repression.[39] These assassinations of farmer activists were part of the state campaign to suppress any potential threat to his rule, sanctioned and encouraged by the King as an integral part of his "anti-communist" purge.
Red Gaurs[edit]
The Red Gaurs were ex-mercenaries and men discharged from the army for disciplinary infractions, while their followings were mainly composed of unemployed vocational school graduates, high-school dropouts, unemployed street corner boys, slum toughs and so forth.[40] They were essentially a motley group of hooligans and thugs who were not recruited primarily on the basis of ideological commitment but rather by promises of high pay, abundant liquor and brothel privilege and the lure of public notoriety.[41] Hence, unlike the Village Scouts and the Nawaphon movement, the Red Gaurs' establishment was less ideological than sociological. In the early 1970s, they found themselves in dire economic straits, unable to obtain employment and thus were easy targets for the anti-(successful) student and anti-worker propaganda.[42] Their grievances were thus exploited by the state, notably the King's network, and directed toward the student protesters.
Royal family involvement[edit]
King Bhumibol and the royal family took part frequently in Village Scout activities and attended ceremonies at Kittivudho's college and Red Gaur training camps, thus illustrating their close ties with these three paramilitary forces.[43] While all three forces differed in their nature (the Village Scout movement and the Nawaphon movement, headed by militant monk Kittivuddho, had ideological underpinnings and were closely aligned with the monarchy while the Red Gaurs were largely motivated by their grievances and potential "petty" benefits), they were united by their allegiance to the King and consequently, their hatred of the "communists". The term "communists" was a deliberately loose term that encompassed those whom the King saw as threats to his rule, such as student protesters, farmers and their sympathizers. These paramilitary forces would subsequently be mobilized by him to attack the student protesters in Thammasat University and end their weeks-long protests.
The Thammasat University massacre continues to be a controversial and sensitive incident in Thai history. The Thai government has chosen to remain silent over its role, and by implication that of the King, in the killing of student protesters. This silence is deeply embedded in a culture of impunity. In an analysis of the two amnesty laws passed in relation to the massacre, Thailand scholar Tyrell Haberkorn argues that they first created and then consolidated impunity for the coup and the massacre that preceded it.[44] The first amnesty law, passed on 24 December 1976, legalized the coup and prevented those who seized power in the evening of 6 October from being held accountable;[45] the second amnesty law, passed on 16 September 1978, freed eighteen student activists still undergoing criminal prosecution and dismissed the charges against them.[46] The "hidden transcripts" of the two amnesties for Massacre and coup that followed reveal the careful, calculated legal moves taken to protect those who were behind it.[47] Despite the rhetoric in the streets and on the radio about the need to protect the nation, the coup and the massacre that preceded it unsettled some inside the state, perhaps because they were aware of the extra-legal status of the massacre, perhaps because they worried about their own culpability and perhaps because they were aware that the violations in need of amnesty were not only those of the criminal code but of the more basic code of being human.[48] Thus, both amnesty laws sought to produce impunity for state violence, particularly the King's involvement. There has not been any state investigation in the violence and this impunity is both cause and effect of the silence, ambivalence and ambiguity surrounding the event for both those who survived it and Thai society.[49]
Thai scholar Thongchai Winichakul, one of the student protesters who was jailed for his participation in the protests at Thammasat University, argues that the clearest evidence of the evasive public memories about the uprisings and massacre are the names the events have come to be known by, and the most conspicuous site of contested memories is the controversy over the memorial for the events".[50] The massacre continues to be known in Thailand as the deliberately ambiguous term "6 October event". Thongchai argues that this non-committal name is loaded with many unsettled meanings, which imply the absence of any commitment and obscures the past because it is too heavily loaded with contesting voices, situating the massacre on the edge between recognizability and anonymity, between history and the silenced past and between memory and forgetfulness.[51] Thus, in "remembering" it, its nomenclature carries overt political significance that continues to reverberate in present-day Thai politics, particularly in relation to the role played by the state and King Bhumibol in the attack on student protesters.
The commemoration in 1996 represented a significant break in the silence. Yet, during the commemoration, what happened twenty years earlier was retold innumerable times, though without any reference to the undiscussable parts of that history.[52] There was also no reaction, not even any comments, from the military or any conservative organizations.[53] More importantly, the denunciation of state crime avoided imputing blame to any specific individual and the victims' self-sacrifice for society's sake was honored.[54] The role played by King Bhumibol in inciting the military and police as well as the paramilitary forces in attacking the student protesters was not mentioned so as not to target the King as an "individual". Yet, this could also be interpreted as an attempt by the state to whitewash history by wishing away parts that it did not want the public to know or remember. In addition, by emphasizing the theme of healing and reconciliation in the remembrance, the Thai state and by implication the King have sought to make clear that the commemoration had no interest and would not be involved in any talk of revenge.[55]

The G. Gerlach Kosmonaut – a Space Oddity for Today
As Matt noted in his original writeup on the G. Gerlach Kosmonaut, this is indeed a watch that draws very heavily from the past. Specifically, the first quartz watch made in Poland, and the one worn by Polish Kosmonaut, General Miroslaw Hermaszewski. While I may not have traveled space, I could not help but to think of Major Tom as I wore the watch. Let's see what I thought of the piece after spending some time with it.

We're at the Adams Mall in Pullman, where Doctor David Warner was allegedly assaulted on March 30th, 2013. Recently, the Whitman County Prosecuting Attorney's Office announced that no criminal charges will be filed in the case.
"It was a careful decision," said Whitman County Chief Deputy Prosecutor Bill Druffel. "I think that there was a lot of evidence, there was hundreds of pages of investigation, hours of interviews, a couple dozen eyewitness testimonies."
Weeks after Warner was hospitalized for his injuries, Pullman Police arrested Madeline Fouts, Joshua Nantz, John Cabanos-Soriano, and Robert Bean for various charges associated with the alleged assault. Warner's friend, Lawrence McDonald was also arrested for his involvement in the altercation.
Whitman County Chief Deputy Prosecutor Bill Druffel said the evidence from the investigation was challenging because surveillance camera footage often didn't match up with eyewitness testimonies.
"So you had to take all of that together, and make a determination as to what you can use in the case, and ultimately were unable to find enough to prosecute," said Druffel.
Druffel said it's clear that an altercation occurred, and that Warner was trying to stop it. However, it's not clear what caused Warner's head injury. One of the suspects was accused of possibly kicking Warner in the head.
"Mr. Bean didn't assault anybody," said Robert Bean's Defense Attorney Steve Martonick. "He didn't have anything to do with Mr Warner's assault. He certainly did not kick him, and there's no evidence that shows that he might have kicked him."
Bean's Defense Attorney Steve Martonick said he's pleased with the decision not to press charges.
"No crime occurred," said Martonick.
Druffel explained that they'd need to prove the suspects were not acting in self-defense in order to convict them of assault, and they don't have the evidence to do so.
"It's sometimes referred to as an affirmative defense," said Druffel. "Where, 'Yes, I did assault you, but I had a good, lawful reason to do that.' And that was a part of our decision in this case."
Now even though Warner's injuries were very serious and life-altering, Druffel said no jury would conclude beyond a reasonable doubt that a criminal assault occurred.
Warner's friends and family members still post updates on the "Rally for David Warner" Facebook page. If you'd like to check it out, look for the link on klewtv.com

Hit Pick
Sin Desires Marie really doesn't belong here. The band's compelling mutation of aggression, melody and intelligence has a hard time finding a niche in Denver's testicle-heavy punk and emo scenes. Even after being personally invited by Fugazi to open one of its sold-out shows at the Ogden last year, Yoon Park, Claudine Rousseau and Germaine Baca have been flying under radar, touring the East Coast and releasing a self-titled CD to the enthusiasm of a modest but dedicated following. Although sometimes stuck with the too-convenient "riot grrrl" tag, Sin Desires Marie owes more to Unwound, Mission of Burma and even pre-disco New Order than it does to Sleater-Kinney or Bikini Kill. The music is taut, precise, even elegant in its construction of rhythm and noise -- a thickly-knotted strand of post-punk that is dark, earnest and danceable, all at the same time. Before leaving town for an appearance at Washington, D.C.'s eminent LadyFest, Sin Desire Marie will play Friday, August 2, at Monkey Mania in support of a new seven-inch release. Come and see what Denver's been missing.

News reporters watch in awe as an incredible F5 tornado moves through Birmingham, Alabama.
Having been through twin tornadoes around my house, this video gives me the heebie jeebies. It also breaks my heart to think of the massive damage caused.
There have been 25 reported deaths so far, and people don't even get relief from the weather.
According to The Associated Press, forecasters warned people to brace for even worse weather.
With this wild weather, it's hard to so easily dismiss that something is going on with our planet and it's not good for humanity…
I just hope that a long time passes before the next natural disaster strikes.

Study: User-Generated Video Product Reviews Can Be As Persuasive As Ads 0 commentsOct 13, 2010 5:45 PM | about stocks: SCOR
A new study of user-generated video product reviews has found that they contain the same kinds of persuasiveness and memorability traits as found in professionally-produced advertisements, therefore suggesting that they offer significant complementary value. In the study, comScore used its content assessment methodology, "ARS Zipline," to score a sample of 25 user-generated product reviews from EXPO Communications' database. They were compared to professional video ads drawn from the comScore ARS database.
The scoring process focused on the user-generated reviews' persuasiveness and memorability, based on rational, emotional and structural attributes. Of the 25 reviews, 17 (68%) scored at least in the average range while 8 (32%) scored above average. The key takeaway is that some product reviewers intuitively convey persuasiveness and memorability even absent the rigorous development and testing employed in the professional ad process. The study found that reviewers tended to focus more on the product and its attributes, driving home key messages around product convenience and quality, both of which increase persuasiveness.
One conclusion to draw from the study is that user-generated video product reviews can augment professionally-developed ad campaigns. The authenticity of voice is extremely valuable and is similar to what has helped drive the popularity of user-submitted information sites like Yelp, TripAdvisor and others. In this context, even though the study was sponsored by EXPO, the results ring true to me.
Another conclusion to draw is that as video amateurs have become more comfortable with video - often through their extensive experience with YouTube uploads - they've gained the skills necessary to have an impact. This is an example of "purpose-driven UGC," an idea I've written about previously. Marketers would be wise to learn how to capitalize on these trends.

CNN, Fox Botch Supreme Court Health Reform Decision, Falsely Report Individual Mandate Struck Down (Video)
The cable news networks rushed to report on the high court's ruling on the Affordable Care Act, but initially got the news wrong; UPDATE: CNN then issues a formal correction.
The cable news networks reported that the Supreme Court had struck down the individual mandate at the center of the Affordable Care Act, the formal name for what has become to be known as Obamacare, the president's stab at universal healthcare and the signature policy accomplishment in his first term. Both on air and online, CNN ran graphics and headlines that read that the court had invalidated the mandate. Fox also ran a headline on the air saying the mandate was invalidated.
Raid on Megaupload's Kim Dotcom illegal, search warrants unlawful - NZ Judge
New Zealand's High Court has ruled that the police raid on Kim Dotcom's house was unlawful along with seizure of the hard drives that were later cloned and illegally taken from New Zealand to the US by the FBI.
The warrants issued to search Dotcom's mansion were general and did not clearly describe the offences they stipulated, ruled Justice Helen Winkelmann.
Why the U.S. Media Barely Covered Brutal Right-Wing Race Riots in Tel Aviv
Several weeks back, Israel was rocked by a night of right-wing race-riots targeting African refugees in Tel Aviv. The thuggery was frightening – refugees were attacked, African-owned businesses and stores were vandalized and a community was forced to hunker down behind closed doors in fear for their lives.
Perhaps more disturbing still was that the riots, which began with an anti-immigrant demonstration, were incited by Israeli politicians representing the increasingly influential hard-right. They fired up the crowd, calling the refugees "infiltrators," and a "cancer," and accusing them of violence and rape. It was a classic example of "othering" – eliminationist rhetoric that led directly to action by the xenophobic crowd.
Google reveals 'terrorism video' removals
Google has revealed it removed about 640 videos from YouTube that allegedly promoted terrorism over the second half of 2011 after complaints from the UK's Association of Police Officers.

Ex-UK PM Brown: Murdoch lied under oath to inquiry
Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown lambasted Rupert Murdoch before Britain's media ethics inquiry on Monday, claiming the media mogul had lied under oath to the inquiry and saying that a Murdoch tabloid had undermined the British war effort in Afghanistan.
In an often bitter attack, Brown directly contradicted Murdoch's claim that Brown had vowed to "make war on your company" during an abusive phone call after Murdoch's The Sun tabloid switched its support from Brown's Labour Party to the rival Conservatives.
Why Does The Mainstream Media Ignore The Bilderberg Group?

This conference is so important that even the U.S. Secret Service is rumored to be involved in providing security.

Though the round signified nothing, the sound and fury surrounding it spoke to Tiger Woods' enormous appeal.
Occasionally on Sunday, when an out-of-contention Woods still managed to attract an enormous gallery, the wind at Merion seemed to howl his name.
"Tiger!" the constant cry came from wherever he popped into view. "Tiger! . . . Tiger!"
Nothing could diminish the fans' hunger for him to succeed, a hunger that on this day, this week, went unsated.
"I'm sorry that the golf wasn't what I like to have it be," Woods said afterward.
He was 9 back when his day began at 12:02 p.m., 14 behind when it ended almost exactly four hours later, and still they stood 10 to 15 deep along the fairways. A final-round 74 capped his worst U.S. Open ever, and still they trudged up and down hills to be near him. His steely focus barely allowed him to acknowledge their presence, and still they shouted their encouragement.

In Mengestu's "All Our Names," new stories vie with old histories
One of the two narrators of "All Our Names," Dinaw Mengestu's third novel, is a twentysomething Ethiopian man born with 13 names, reflecting his family's rich history. As he is now rootless and that history is largely irrelevant, we never learn any of them; among his many aliases, the one he uses most is Isaac.
The second narrator, a very rooted 30-year-old social worker in a "semi-rural Midwestern town" — located somewhere between Chicago and St. Louis and dubbed Laurel — is an unmarried white woman named Helen; she still lives with her mother and has never traveled farther than St. Louis. »Read Full Article

Present Music, Danceworks give devil his due in 'Temptation's Snare'
Present Music is the headliner for "Temptation's Snare," playing this weekend at Next Act Theatre. But the final result is such a fusion with dance and theater that the outstanding septet of musicians often winds up in a supporting role.
The scenario makes perfect sense for Present Music: Take Stravinsky's classic "A Soldier's Tale," written nearly 100 years ago but still forbiddingly modern in the minds of too many concertgoers. (Sometimes it is performed with narration and dancers, sometimes without.) Add in "Histories," written two years ago to complement the Stravinsky by Sleeping Giant, a Brooklyn-based collective of six young composers. »Read Full Article

ZT Q&A Oct, 1 2011
Previous Posting: http://poleshift.ning.com/profiles/blogs/ukraine-strange-sound-in-kiev
ZetaTalk Q&A for February 25, 2012:
My question is regarding the YouTube strange sounds video posted by Gerard yesterday: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUdZGm476yA On the Strange Sounds blog I posted a response as follows: Not trying to discredit anyone on the Montana video/audio. I believe what is recorded. But I'd really be interested in Zeta feedback on it because it reminds me of what happened in Close Encounters of the Third Kind - the musical sounds that the spacecraft emitted. The sound produced in Missoula is what is called in music a major seventh chord. In the key of C it would be C-E-G-B; in this case with an extra underlying G as the first note. I have a hard time believing that anything in nature could create this without help - possibly ET help. The notes are played separately up the scale/chord and then down the scale/chord. Could the Zetas please comment on what the source might be?
Missoula lies in a valley between mountain ranges that are riddled with rivers draining the steep mountain sides. If Kiev has multi-tonal trumpets because the reservoir is vibrating, and Belarus has horns because the river there is vibrating, then why should Missoula be exempt? The regions where the vibrating Earth plays music are where water is being vibrated. Elsewhere, it sounds like a roar, like Godzilla rising from the sea and roaming the land. Noise is sound where every frequency is heard. Music is controlled such that harmonics, or coinciding or duplicating frequencies are heard.
That several distinct tones were heard in Missoula, each in turn, only means that the body of water producing them increased its frequency from tone to tone. In Kiev, chords were heard, as more than one arm of the reservoir was set to vibrating. The thrumming or fan beating sound that preceded the Missoula tones was the rock layers being pulled apart, as the N American continent is being pulled into a bow, as we have often explained. As the jerking apart and rebound of the underlying rock layers picked up the pace, the pitchof the music the nearby river produced climbed. Simple as that.
ZetaTalk from the Jan, 21 2012 Q&A:
Strange sounds are heard all over the world! Can the Zetas comment? http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message1756314/pg1 [and from another] My question pertains to the noises, similar to the ones heard in Kiev, happening over the past week all over the world. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZ2ZcmMxehk&feature=channel_video_title Here is a video compilation of some of the places experiencing these noises, some of the videos have been accused of being a hoax, and the essence of my question for the Zetas is; what is going on? I've managed to locate some videos from Australia, posted recently, that seem to verify what others have posted from other users located in different parts of Australia, one of the videos located here. It would appear we are seeing the "Kiev Effect" taking place worldwide now, and only recently on this scale; there is obviously more to this than meets the eye, would the Zetas care to comment?
Where initially only a hum, and only in certain notorious parts of the world, rock under stress has become noisy. Known as the Taos hum, the sound of a diesel engine running somewhere underground was an early entry. Then the Seattle drums entered the arena, rhythmic booming which was ascribed to flapping manhole covers. Booms from snapping and heaving rock were reported in the New Madrid region and humming along the St. Lawrence Seaway increased.
But in 2011, it became clear that where we predicted that the Earth would moan during the 5.9 days of rotation stoppage, it was not going to be silent between then and now. The trumpets of Kiev and the horns of Belarus went viral on the Internet, followed quickly by a roar over Tampa Bay that sounded like Godzilla emerging from the sea. Now, in early 2012, this has spread to the drums of Costa Rica and the howl of Alberta and the Borneo snore.
Where is this leading? At least half the Earth, at any given point in time, will be having some sort of tension in its rock. Clapping and grinding fault lines, vibrating bodies of water, trembling rock strata resisting being pulled apart, and snapping rock under compression or being bent. All will be noisy, and the most likely reaction among those who hear it will be to conclude that the End Times have arrived. However known in various cultures around the world, allhave some reference to the coming times. The establishment will be unable to explain away these sounds, and once again the Internet will be sought and will lead inevitably to our explanations.

Strange Sound Heard Throughout Costa Rica
January 11, 2012
Is it the mysterious sound of the so-called coming Apocalypse? Some think that the mysterious sound heard in Costa Rica at around 12:30am this morning is exactly that. It is important to note that this is not the wind nor was it filmed anywhere near the ocean. The sound was heard throughout the entire country from Heredia to Perez Zeledon. The Costa Rica Volcanologist and Seismologist Organization is saying there is no Earth movements recorded at the time of the strange sound.
AUDIO: http://www.zetatalk5.com/ning/14ja001.mp3
ZetaTalk from the Jan, 14 2012 Q&A:
There is a subset of the Caribbean Plate called the Panama Plate, though this subset moves as one with the Caribbean Plate. Nevertheless, there is a fault line running through Costa Rica, and during the incessant pressure of the slow moving S American roll fault lines can pull apart and bang back together again, like clapping. As the recent cold spells in India reveal, the N Pole of Earth is pushed violently away when the Sun is over New Zealand and the magnetic N Pole of Earth (currently over Siberia) comes up over the horizon. This equates to midnight in Costa Rica, which is when the drums were heard. Residents there should get used to these midnight drums, which will be with them for some time.

Mystery Blast Rocks Rural E. Michigan (Aug 24)
Darrell Cousineau said about 8:30pm he was shaken by an explosion.
"Pretty good size boom and, uh, shook the chair I was sitting in."
He wasn't the only one in the area that felt it.
"Oh yeah, it was a lot of concussion," said neighbor Mike Ballard.
Ballard said he heard the blast as well.
"I thought it was something blowing up," Ballard said.
TV5 reached out to local military and law enforcement, but no explosions were reported.
TV5's meteorologist said there was no seismic activity reported to suggest an earthquake.
"These events can happen, you know every year or two they get reported," Mike Murray said.
Murray manages the astronomy and planetarium program at Delta College. He said the mysterious boom could have been a space object that suddenly disintegrated before hitting the ground.
"In some of those cases they are probably meteoroids that had exploded in mid-air," Murray said.
He said meteoroids are only confirmed through observation and so far people have reported only hearing or feeling the blast, not actually seeing anything.
"But there's no way of knowing if they were meteoroids or if maybe it was some other source," Murray said.
Dozens of others have commented on Facebook about the blast.
Darrell Cousineau said, "I don't think it was an alien, but you never know,"
The mystery hum is back! Plymouth residents complain of 'strange droning noise'
Keyham, Devonport- DO you remember the mysterious story about a low-pitched humming noise which left scientists baffled and caused residents to cover their ears?
Last summer The Herald reported on the strange phenomenon creating a stir across the Plymouth area.
We thought the nuisance noise had disappeared, but now it seems to be back and more disruptive than ever.People have reported hearing the noise at night in Keyham, Devonport, West Park and St Budeaux.
Pat Finnie, who lives in Normandy Way, St Budeaux, says she and her husband have noticed the "melodic, droning" sound returning.
"I have heard it several times over the last few weeks and then on Monday and Tuesday this week," Mrs Finnie said.
"You begin to wonder whether it's you, your ears, but my husband said he could hear it too, and he doesn't usually notice it.
"My neighbours have been aware of it too, several people say they have heard the same thing."It's a very low, almost melodic sort of sound.
"You wake up and thought it was something in the house. You can't say it's loud, but it's a nuisance.
"We don't hear it in the daytime, only at night."
The strange droning noise – which only two per cent of people can hear – was first reported in the 1970s.
People as far apart as New Mexico and Somerset have been complaining about the 'mystery hum' ever since, with some saying it has driven them mad.
Bizarrely, the irritating noise is usually heard in rural areas – and only ever indoors and is also apparently louder at night.
It has been blamed on everything from electricity pylons to sonar waves.
But boffins are still scratching their heads 40 years on.

Mysterious Booms Rocking Toledo Ohio (Jul 15)
A series of underground explosions in one of Ohio's largest cities has authorities and residents completely baffled.
The most recent boom occurred Tuesday afternoon in downtown Toledo – the fifth such occurrence in just one month.
People inside at least one building were forced to evacuate as smoke billowed out. The Toledo Fire Department responded and later determined that the source of the explosion was from an underground electrical pit.
"We don't know. There were initial reports of a lightning strike," TFD Battalion Chief Brent Wettle said.
"However, it was during a rain storm as well, so when you get a lot of water in those pits that can cause a short in the wiring, it could possibly be that as well," Wettle added.
The blast was just the latest in a series of bizarre occurrences that have rocked the city in the past four weeks. The first explosion came on June 15. Four more, all of which were reported on different streets, have followed since then.
Toledo Edison, the local electric company, cut off power supply to the area affected by the most recent explosion. It said it plans to reopen once the problem has been fixed.
Representatives from the city of Toledo and Toledo Edison did not immediately respond to requests for comment on July 15.
Mysterious Blue Light Appears Over Mt. Kinabalu (Jun 18)
A mysterious blue light appeared briefly over Borneo's Mt. Kinabalu.
A villager told a local newspaper: "The sky was bright as if there was a rainbow, but unlike a rainbow, it was all striking blue. We have not seen anything like this before."
The blue rays are known as the 'blue rainbow' and are believed to be a phenomenon that is usually associated with areas recently hit by earthquakes.
The 6.0-magnitude earthquake took place on June 5 in Mount Kinabalu and Kinabalu Park, a protected area and world heritage site, in the Sabah area, on the island of Borneo, Malaysia.
On social networks several people, such as Rina Ripau from the nearby village of Ranau, uploading images of the rainbow to their Facebook profiles when they started from last Thursday, a week after the Mount Kinabalu earthquake.
According to experts, the generation of this light involves the ionization of oxygen in some types of rocks due to high stress before, during and after earthquake and other seismic activities.
A house-shaking explosion noise has baffled Auckland residents.
The mammoth bang was heard by residents in the suburbs of Onehunga and Mangere Bridge about 10.30pm on Sunday.
One reader who wrote in to the Herald said they could feel the house shake.
The scary noise sounded "super sonic" and no one knew what it was, the woman said.
Residents turned to Twitter to find the source of the mysterious noise - but no clues have turned up yet.
Dean Taylor tweeted: "What was that Big Bang in Onehunga just now?"
Twitter user Peter Tainui said it might have been related to the mystery bang or explosion heard in the same area a couple of weeks ago.
"What/who the hell is the cause?" he asked.
Another loud bang stumped residents in the Onehunga, Three Kings, Mt Roskill, Epsom and Mt Albert area on May 30.
One Twitter user at the time said it sounded like a loud boom, thunder or an explosion.
A series of mysterious explosion noises were also reported across Auckland in June 2014, which turned out to be Defence Force training exercise at the Kaipara Bomb Range.
New Zealand Defence Force spokesman Geoff Davies said the noise did not come from the organisation.
He said the Defence Force had not received any calls about the noise.
An Auckland Council spokeswoman said there was no known record of calls about the bang on Sunday night.
Another loud bang was reported by central Auckland residents in May when a power line worker was injured in a substation accident, cutting power to homes.
But there was no power outages or incidents on Sunday night, Vector spokeswoman Sandy Hodge said.
The company had "a really quiet weekend", she said.
Strange noises in the sky terrorized Tucuman - ARGENTINA
Friday June 12, 2015, 20:13 pm
According to experts, this phenomenon is known in some parts of the world as "The Hum" ("Buzz").
VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRIN3af4UfU
Noises in the sky
A strange noise in the sky Tucuman was recorded today, around four in the morning, by a curious who uploaded the video to YouTube portal.
This phenomenon, which many readers claim to have heard- seems to be the same as that registered in several parts of the world and has already terrorized thousands of people around the planet.
This phenomenon, according to the site slogan excelsior , is known in some parts of the world as "The Hum", translated into Spanish, "The Buzz".
Strange Noise, Puebla, Mexico May 29, 2015 (These sounds started at 16:35 hours in the afternoon).
The Daily Mirror also picks up the story:
The sounds have been heard emanating from the sky in locations around the world, but no one knows what they are
An ominous noise coming from the sky has alarmed people around the world - and experts have no idea what might be causing it.
Footage has flooded YouTube from locations as varied as British Columbia in Canada, Allen in Texas and Queensland in Australia.
The sound, like something from Hollywood movies The War of the Worlds or Close Encounters of the Third Kind starts without warning and has people transfixed in the street as it continues.
And even the experts can't tell if it's aliens, God, the Earth or something else unknown.
Strange Howling Noise Heard Around the World Defies Explanation (May 16)
A mysterious noise from the sky is continuing to baffle people all over the world - as well as giving those who hear it sleepless nights.
Sounding like a trumpet or a collective from a brass section of an orchestra, a selection of videos shot from the Canada to Ukraine, via the U.S., Germany and Belarus show strange goings on.
And the eerie sounds have been continuously heard at all different times and locations for almost a decade.
The first video posted on YouTube recording the unusual, unearthly sounds, was in 2008 when a user recorded the strange sounds in the sky from Homel, in Belarus.
That same year another anonymous user shared the 'ear-deafening' sounds that they insisted 'were not a hoax,' from a quiet neighbourhood believed to be in the U.S.
Kimberly Wookey from Terrace, British Columbia in Canada first captured the alien sound in June 2013, and since then she has managed to capture several recordings of the noise with her most recent being on May 7 this year.
Writing on YouTube, where she posted the videos, Ms Wookey writes: 'On the morning of August 29, 2013 at approximately 7:30am I was awoken by these sounds.
'I shot out of bed realizing it was the same sounds I had heard before and I ran looking for a camera to try to capture them with. I came out into the living room to find my seven-year-old son awake and scared wondering what was going on. He had said the noises woke him up as well and shook his window.
'I managed to record three clips showing almost five minutes of these strange sounds. After it was over and I sat down at the computer to upload the video. After checking my Facebook I noticed a lot of locals had heard the same sounds again but this time it was far more widespread.
'I have no idea what these sounds are but it is pretty strange and I am glad that I was able to catch them this time and share what I heard. The sounds were heard again on Sept 8th at 6:30am so far we have confirmed reports of it being heard from town to the lake, 25km away.'
So what does the mother of four think the noises are?
'I personally do not believe this has any religious connection, nor do I believe it is aliens, graders, trains, construction, etc,' she added.
'I do believe it could be a geophysical phenomenon.'
Kimberly was so spooked by the sound coming from the sky she contacted her local construction company to try and get an answer.
Her efforts hit a dead end when the company replied informing her that none of their machines could make such a noise (see screenshot above).
Another recording of the sound was captured in Kiev, Ukraine in August 2011. An eyewitness said: 'The sound was extremely loud, with some people 30-40km from the recording also hearing it in other cities
'It was in the news with the investigation with specialists and scientists, but there is still no exact explanation.'
Encounters with the noise has even caused some people to have vivid nightmares for days after the event.
Aaron Traylor captured a recording in Montana in the U.S. on February 18, 2012, and said: 'I've had vivid nightmares ever since I posted the very eerie strange sounds that has Missoula talking and looking towards the sky; awful, awful nightmares.
'My wife woke me from a dream last night where she says I was screaming like she's never heard me scream before.
'I was taking my daughter out for her daily exercise along with my dog. I started to hear the sounds early on in our little adventure and the first time it was heard my dog perked her ears up and my daughter stopped in her tracks.
'That sound was identical to the one I had taped later, and lasted just as long. Now since I've been following this worldwide strange sounds phenomenon for some time, the whole 'End of the world' thing popped instantly into my head.
'What if this was one of those sounds? I had my phone ready to capture the next one just in case. Sure enough, five minutes later the sound had returned.'
Aaron doesn't subscribe to the theory that the noise is made by trains or aeroplanes.
'The Missoula rail system is one very loud and unpredictable beast. Trains connecting their loads to another is a sound very familiar to locals. Loud bangs and screeches can be heard from nearly 10 miles away at any given point throughout the day,' he added.
'Still, that doesn't explain the fan-like whirring sound that can be heard at the start of the recording.'
'I've lived in this neighbourhood for nearly four years and have heard all kinds of planes coming and going overhead and on the runway. I've never heard a plane sound like this before.
'My neighbourhood is very quiet and we were about three blocks away from any busy intersection during the incident. Can't say I've ever heard an automobile of any kind with that kind of noise.'
A video from Germany taken from a window pans onto a street and shows a child frozen still as the chilling sounds echo over the landscape. And in Salzburgh in Austria the noise is magnified across the Eastern Alps.
In Allen, Texas, U.S. back in 2012, the mysterious noise had a group of people stop what they were doing in a car park and look towards the sky, with one exclaiming: 'It's weird, I've never heard anything like that.'

Acer Aspire V5 Review
Acer first detailed their new Aspire V5 series earlier this year back in March, claiming to offer better laptops over previous generations all while managing to be around 30% thinner than previous models and other laptops in the price range. Now that Acer's rolled out the lineup to retail stores we're taking a look at the budget family member in their 11.6-inch Aspire V5. It might come at a budget friendly price but it doesn't compromise on performance. Take a peek below.

For the third consecutive year The Journal publishes statistics regarding injuries received during the Fourth of July celebration, with special reference to tetanus resulting from these injuries. The total number of cases this year is 104, surprisingly near to the number of cases in 1904, which was 105. In 1903 there were 415 cases. It is interesting likewise to compare the totals of accidents resulting from blank cartridges in the same years, which are in a like proportion. In 1903 there were 1,672 injuries from blank cartridges; in 1904, 1,005, and this year, 809. Regarding totals of accidents and their causes, we shall have further comment later in this paper.
The figures this year are from the same source as heretofore and treated in the same manner, so that any comparisons between the figures of this and either of the preceding years may be on a presumably like basis. The

Mayhem # 2119220
About MeOh hai, viewer! I've been a member on this site for a while but had the account deactivated for about a year for simply losing interest in modelling. But I kind of missed it... So I decided to come back after a friend convinced me to get some photoshoots done again.
My style varies. Some days I will dress full on Goth, other days I'm more 'normal'. Then other days I am a mix of the two. Which is my favourite.
I'm not exactly fussed on what kind of shoots I want to do. At least I don't think I am. I have some thoughts of what I would like to do, but if you have any ideas, I'll be happy to listen to them.
Honest person, on time and well prepared and will notify you of any issues. Happy to do TFP work.
I reside in the South Eastern suburbs of Melbourne and can work in that area, mostly the Scoresby area, and I can go into the city if need be. Transport isn't too uch of an issue but if there are issues you will know.
I will NOT be doing nudes or anything sexual in nature. At all. Don't even ask. (unless it's Fetish themed. If it is, we'll talk...)
As I write this, I am working on a sort of 'look book' for my outfits. When it's completed, I will be posting a link to it so you can have a good idea of the kind of outfits I wear, ranging from Goth to 'normal' to everything else in between.
If I want to bring an escort, then I will bring an escort. If you refuse to let me bring one, then I will refuse to work with you. Sorry. I don't mean to sound like a bitch but I don't want to go down that road again. Feel free to ask why if you're curious.
Haven't scared you off? Then feel free to send me a message. :3
