Halloween, zombies and the US election

We’re coming up to the time of Samhein, All Hallows’ Eve, or just plain Halloween to you: October 31. Therefore, you need a big pumpkin, a sharp knife (no, don’t get the wrong idea) and a couple of hours to settle in, get comfy and make yourself the mother of all cool-looking Jack O’Lanterns, to put in your window to freak out the neighbours.

For pumpkin-carving patterns, costumes, ghost stories and recipes, start off at Halloween Is Here. For more of the same and for all the things needed to satisfy the ghouls among us, see Halloween Online.

Worldwide, Halloween is a fun, scary night, yet it’s rare to see locals getting into the spirit of it, so your pumpkin-carving skills may be non-existent. That’s no excuse, so go print out all the info at Pumpkin Carving 101.

(And for those religious types who think there is something ”bad” about celebrating Halloween, just shut up and deal with it. We normal people have to cope with your boring television every damn Sunday, so once a year, indulge us.)

As we’re very close to the optimum time of a deliberate, state-created terrorism event that will allow for the cancellation of the upcoming United States elections, the whispers about preparation for martial law are growing. Read the following two older articles: Foundations Are in Place for Martial Law and US Plans for Martial Law and Suspension of Elections.

Now read this report from Reuters, on October 23, stating No Evidence of US Election Terror Plot.

Remember the item from a few weeks back, about the strange release of an election result showing Bush won the 2004 US election — which was broadcast via Associated Press and delivered to a Wisconsin television station? Well, it seems that Associated Press (Or AP, as you’ll have seen it credited in local media) is not quite the independent media source that everyone thought it was. Go read Could Associated Press Rig the Election?. For supplementary reading, dive into Integrity of Florida Election in Doubt.

If you’re interested in the idea of time travel, then look over this site, which is a collection of postings made online by someone who apparently came from the future. It’s creepy and interesting, especially given that the person’s last postings were made just a few months before 9/11. Fact or fiction? You decide. Read John Titor.

The fact that the two presidential candidates are both part of a secret society has finally been noticed by the mainstream media. Read Reuters Report on Skull and Bones. Then, read an interesting take on the obviously fake fight between two supposedly ”opposing” politicians at Skull versus Bones.

Dissent is rising in the US (which some suggest may lead to another civil war, if Bush wins). Consider the expert essay written by John Dean, former counsel to the president, called The Coming Post-Election Chaos.

Then, to get a sense of the growing awareness of the US’s current path of insanity, read this Miami Herald column: Fake War on Terror.

One of the things that I admire about Americans is their optimism in the face of overwhelming state terrorism. Consider the inherent hopefulness woven through this next site, which is designed to help young adults persuade their parents not to vote for Bush: Convince Your Mom Not to Vote for Bush. And still more damn Bush — look at Bush Relatives for Kerry.

Free-download time. An interesting documentary on the conspiracy of 9/11 is available for download: go grab 9/11 Hide in Plane Site. To complement the above movie, read the very interesting essay on the disinformation being spread amongst the 9/11 truth movement, at Deciphering the 9/11 Distractions.

For other valuable essays by the same author, browse through the goodies on offer at John Kaminski.

More 9/11 stuff: this time it is an article on one of many of the growing groups of folks who want the truth about 9/11 to come out. Read 9/11 Visibility Project.

Here’s something I didn’t know. Depleted uranium is apparently used in Boeing 747s — read Depleted Uranium in Airliners.

As you know, the undead are a real pain in the butt — the world seems continually threatened by hordes of brain-hungry, shuffling dead people (many of whom, I’ve noticed, can be seen in malls across the north of Johannesburg, clutching their shopping, but that’s another story entirely.)

So how can you protect yourself from the ever-present zombie menace? Simple, go learn some Zombie Fighting Skills.

There’s a large quantity of information online, showing that whatever actually happened during the massacre at Columbine High School, there are a lot of questions that remain unanswered by officialdom.

Nonetheless — just to prove that I’m not the only happy sicko in the world — how about a paintball arena, set up as a duplicate of Columbine High School, where you can play as ”the SWAT team”, ”the trenchcoat Mafia” or ”innocent high-school student”? I’d go and play for sure. Go have a look at the pix of happy paintball players at Columbine High School Paintball!.

It’s taken some time to emerge, and the media seem very uninterested in communicating this to the public, but read the article and then (if you have toddlers), turn off your TV set. Why? Read Television Linked to Attention Deficit Disorder.

Staying with television, The Truman Show comes one step closer towards reality, with the announcement of a ”permanent” Big Brother-type show, where participants stay in the show forever. Read Permanent Big Brother TV Show.

Food time. For you fat and lazy people who don’t get the connection between the irregular eating of rubbish food and the increasing fat with which you’re wobbling around, go see if anything sinks in at this great site, created by three women to keep themselves on track. Read Three Fat Chicks.

And if you’ve stared at the evil adverts for crap greasy food, and wondered how they managed to get those burgers looking so good, go find out how Vaseline is used to trick your eye, at Food Advert Tricks.

Speaking of Vaseline: if you’ve been curious about what your prison name would be, if you ever landed up in a jail cell with 15 guys who decided to make you their puppy, then go find out your new name at The Prison Bitch Name Generator.

Steven Spielberg must be tearing what remains of his hair out. Why? He’s been in production with a remake of War of the Worlds for some time, and a British film company (filming secretly using the fake title The Great Boer War) has just announced that it has completed its version of War of the Worlds. Read Spielberg Beaten.

Some criminals have a sense of humour, and possibly a political attitude as well. Take a look at this cute series of pictures, showing Man Robs Bank in George Bush Mask.

Need to kill some time? Go find out What Internet Subculture You Belong In. Or maybe you’d like to watch some film of Actors Auditioning to Play Osama Bin Laden. How about watching Castro Break His Leg?

Until the next time, if apolitical people don’t get me.
