chronology: Calls from the Abyss.

If you have had the misfortune of knowing an alcoholic, then you will be familiar with the 'late at night drunken phone calls' usually slurred gibberish, or sobbing phone calls from a Police Station they are being detained in. Next day, the 'Lush' has no memory at all of the unwanted phone call.

But do people make calls in their sleep when not drunk? yes, but not often. Around one person in 30 talks in their sleep, and around one person in a 100 makes phone calls in their sleep or sends text messages. The phone calls are usually not answered due to the late hour, and the text messages are short and gibberish.

chronology: Bigfoot's mysterious diet.

Bigfoot has been reported in every State of the U.S.A. He is usually reported as around 200 Kilo in weight. An animal that big would need around 30 Kilos of food a day. To maintain his Gene Pool, Bigfoot would need a colony of around 2000 other Bigfoot's in his area. So let's see Guys, that would be some pretty heavy grazing in his district of Forest, grazing that would rip out huge patches of Forest or Wild life, and what have U.S. National Park Service Rangers noted? nothing out of the ordinary. Bigfoot would also have had the occasional run in with automobiles or Trucks, not one has. He would also be photographed at some point, not one has been.

Well Wireclubbers that is leading us to one conclusion, 'there ain't no Bigfoot's.

So what are people seeing when they report Bigfoot's? some witnesses are reliable, not impressionable young people. Some hunters have opened fire on Bigfoot's if they had the slightest suspicion it was a joker in a Gorrilla suite they would never risk the legal problems involved.

Whatever Bigfoot is we can conclude he is 'coming into view in the districts he is seen in, he does not live in those districts' But where is he coming 'from' we still have yet to solve that mystery. But next time you are on a Cook Out in a National Park and hear heavy footsteps approaching from behind you ...................................

chronology: 'The Dreyfus Affair'

In 1894 the contents of a Prussian Embassy waste paper basket in Paris was stolen by French Intelligence personnel and the papers it contained were scrutinised for any information that could be obtained about Prussian Military or Political circles in France. There was also a rumour that a traitor was leaking information to Prussian from within the French Army.
When a paper was found that seemed to indicate it was details of information passed on to Prussian Intelligence the handwriting on the paper was checked and was said to be identical to the handwriting of a certain Captain Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish Army Captain in the French Army. In the Trial that followed, Dreyfus was railroaded into a lifetime Prison sentence on Devils Island. But why was France so 'Anti Semitic' at the time?

The roots of the modern Anti Semitism in the Dreyfus Affair could probably be traced to the catastrophic defeat of France in the 1870 Prussian Franco War. Paris had been the glittering 'City of Light' before the War and the centre of Politics and debate in Europe, after the 1870 debacle Paris had collapsed into Civil War and chaos, one name arising in discussions about the culprits of the Paris Commune chaos was 'Karl Marx' a Jew. In the years following the Paris Commune, French Society like the rest of European leading nations seemed to throw off it's former restraint regarding sexual matters, this was blamed on 'Sigmund Freud' a Jew. Marx and Freud were both atheists, one lived in England the other in Vienna, but many French people were putting 2 and 2 together and getting 99 as the answer. So when Dreyfus was found to be Jewish, he was convicted virtually without a Trial.

Dreyfus was eventually pardoned and returned to France from Devils Island. Historians claim the 'Dreyfus Affaire' divided France, but it is difficult to see how France could have been any more divided than it already was.

While Dreyfus returned to his former life, Paris was never to retain her title of 'City of Light' after 1870. New York City and San Francisco were to become the 'Café Radical Debating Centres of the World'.

chronology: 'Ghost attacks Chilean woman, caught on CCTV'

Well what you actually see is a woman falling down in an unusual way, but she insists she was pushed by invisible hands. At first the woman thought she had been punched by an attacker who ran off, but when she watched the CCTV she was astonished to see no one in front of her.

It is not the first time Ghosts have been captured on CCTV. In the Tower of London Fire Doors can be seen being pushed open by invisible hands, whether the incident in Chile is a hoax or just a freak accident we will have to wait and see.

You can see the video on YouTube.

chronology: MH370 Mystery.

With MH370 slowly dropping from the News, why was there such mystery surrounding what was to all appearance a tragic accident?

It involves the moments when MH370 first dropped from Air Traffic Control Observation. When MH370 left one Air Traffic Control Region to enter another, the Transponder on the plane was turned off, as well as the Transponder a second Tracking System was then disabled. The second Tracking System is not simple to disable, it involves a three step shut-down procedure that few none Pilot's know how to disable. The Aircraft then turned to the left and began a new course that led to it's loss of contact with Aviation Authorities. The transfer from one Air Traffic Region to another is suspicious because it gave someone on the plane about 15 minutes before anyone would check to ask why no acknowledgement of the new Air Traffic Region had been requested. For many Aviation Experts this is simply too many coincidences to have happened simply as a result of Aircraft Technical failure, it looks much more like a person on the Aircraft manipulating the Avionics of the Plane. There is also the final words from the Pilot 'thank you, good bye' that was not in line with any normal Radio Procedure. Any Pilot would normally have said 'Malasian Airlines MH370 thank you' none would have casually said 'thank you goodbye'

Many Aviation Experts and Pilots see these actions on the plane as somebody shutting down the Planes Tracking Systems during a blind spot on International Radar then changing course to some unknown destination, not some accident on the Plane.

But the mystery remains unsolved Wireclubbers.

lori100: A CNN report said people who work in Silicon Valley use hallucinogenic drugs often---LSD, mushrooms....they say it helps creativitiy and to solve problems...

chronology: 'Across the Universe' or at least from the Bay of Pigs to John Lennon's bloody door step.

To some people the Doorman of the Dakota Hotel on the night John Lennon was shot was a mysterious Guy. For a kick off, the American Press could not get his name correct for 4 years after the murder, but then a dead man's name is probably not current in U.S. Official Records, because the name the man was using had been dead for 17 years. A what a dead man's name to use, a hero, or villain depending on your politics of the secret war against Fidel Castro. But some say that it 'was' the actual hero of the Bay of Pigs, not just his name.

Whatever, they made an odd due, Lennon dying bleeding to death outside the Dakota, a Left Wing Icon and Anti War demonstrator, and the Dakota Doorman, supposedly a Bay of Pigs Hot Dog and a presumed member of the most reactionary group of people on Earth.

But hey, maybe Chapman may have got away had not the Dakota doorman pointed him out; 'it was him' said the doorman pointing to Chapman for an disbelieving New York Police Officer, Officer Cullen was convinced someone els had shot Lennon, but hey, the doorman was a witness and Chapman stood there like an idiot.

Conspiracy? or just another person with no papers using a convienient name to work in the U.S.

chronology: 'The King's Shilling'

Some Americans enjoy their beer from glass bottom Mugs, the origin of these mugs tells a dark secret.

During the 19th Century Britains Royal Navy had a tough time getting sailors for their ships, no surprise considering the hellish conditions on the ships. 'Press Gangs' roamed 'Ale Houses' kidnapping drinkers and dragging them off to serve on ships. When an unfortunate drinker raised his mug to drink his beer, his view of the other drinkers in the bar would be obscured and during this blind moment, the Press Gang members who were pretending to be normal drinkers would quickly slip a hood over his head and drag him away to a life of hell for years on a Navy ship. Having a glass bottom in mugs enabled drinkers to keep a sharp eye on other patrons in the bar.

Some historians say the glass bottom was to make a 'Kings Shilling' visible in the drinkers mug. but this is fanciful, few men would cooperate with Press Gangs even when tricked, so the hood snapped over the head was the usual recruiting method.

chronology: Gambling on U.S. Elections is illegal in the U.S. but legal in Europe and in England odds are being offered already for 2016.

And the smart money is being placed on ........... Hillary Clinton. Bookmakers are assessing her as the winner of 2016, and Ms Clinton has quite a lead over the next favourite ......... Governor Jeb Bush, Mr Bush is being seen as a risky wager.

Plenty of time for odds to change, but some Bookmakers in England already see Ms Clinton home and dry. And neither Hillary or Jeb have been chosen as candidates yet.

chronology: NASA makes one mans dream come true.

If American Elections are opportunities to get rich in England, so was the Moon Landing.
(Note; figures are roughly in todays dollars) One man bet 200 Dollars in 1964 that America would reach the Moon with a Manned Landing before the end of the 60s, when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin touched down he jumped for joy and collected 200.000 Dollars from the Betting Firm.

chronology: The Teacher in the New York City school tells her class that todays lessons will include the Kodiak Island Grizzly Bear, the biggest Bear in America. The teacher then touches a button and instantly a huge Kodiak Grizzly appears stood next to her towering over her and the class.

Welcome to the world of 'Mixed Reality'

'Mixed Reality' is a version of 'Virtual Reality' which uses Glasses worn by people to make it appear objects are in the room with them. You place the glasses on your head linked by WiFi and instantly your room is transformed. Classical Statues can appear as ornaments, giant flat screen TVs can appear on the wall, and 3d images of family and friends can be seen stood about.

'Mixed Reality' may go the way of 'Virtual Reality' which is to say, absolutely no where, or it may become the next explosion in Computer Software.

chronology: Chug Chug Hiss Hiss who said Steam Locomotives had vanished from America.

High in the Colorado Mountains Steam Trains still send majestic clouds of smoke into the sky amid breath taking Mountain scenery. The Durango and Silverton train route was originally built to serve Gold and Silver Mines in the Colorado Peaks but today is one of only two places in the U.S. where you will find operating Steam Trains.

The Durango is also the only way you can visit some places on the 45 mile route, unless you own a Helicopter, there are no roads. The Train runs at 9000 feet altitude in some places, so you find yourself looking down on sweeping Pine Tree tops from a height.

Fans of the Alistair MaClean Novel 'Break Heart Pass' remember to take a copy of his book to read.

chronology: And MH370 still fascinates the public. A Poll a few days ago by CNN found more Americans than ever think MH370 landed somewhere and did not crash. 21pc of those asked think the plane has landed.

While not unreasonable, the theory is highly unlikely. The controlled shut down of all the planes tracking systems and the absolute lack of a single piece of floating debris would suggest the plane never crashed at sea but landed in a secret destination. However, if the plane was hijacked by a suicidal crew member as many Aviation Experts suspect, after enjoying his insane fly around of the Indian or Pacific Ocean, a controlled landing at sea similar to the Hudson River landing would have seen the plane sink without spewing debris like life jackets, cushions, luggage, and thousands of other items that float.

The passengers of MH370 have been declared Legally Dead by Malaysian Authorities but the wreckage of the plane is still being searched for, but not in a 'dedicated operational' manner.

Airline Pilots are convinced debris from the plane will begin to show up in the coming years ahead, beaches in Australia will eventually have items from the plane washed ashore.

There is a creepy, but highly unlikely possibility. 'did the crazy crew member actually escape from the Plane before it sank at sea' the passengers and other crew would have been killed by controlled depressurization previously, but did he manage to escape using a life raft. 'Creepy' indeed.

chronology: You could almost have seen this on American TV in the 1960s; 'And tonight we have The Beatles and their Managers Reggie and Ronnie Kray'

'Reg and Ron' were the two leading Gangsters in England at that time, so how did they almost wind up owning the Beatles?

It was through the Beatles Manager Brian Epstein. Brian had a very bad habit, gambling, and he had run up huge debts with Reg and Ron. Brian was also homosexual but still held himself as a clean cut Jewish boy, which left him open to Blackmail, this was what Reg and Ron planned to do, and grab control of the Beatles.

Friends of the Kray brothers explained to them that no way would the American Public tolerate two Gangsters openly owning a Rock Band worshipped by their children, so Reg and Ron decided to Blackmail Brian for just money instead.

Brian was found dead in his London Apartment.

chronology: 'The Amityville Horror, or not'

The Amytiville Case has always raised strong opinions among folks, some agreeing it is true, others just as sure it is fake. But cold facts are often more creepy than fiction.

A little known fact in the case is that Defao the murderer of the six people in the house told Detectives 'a hooded Demon handed me the rifle and told me to kill my family'. It was later revealed that the Drug Enforcement Agency had actually been watching the house at the time of the killings. Tho the U.S. Agents watching the house heard no gunshots, around the time of the shootings a D.E.A. Agent saw the door of the house open, and a hooded figure walk slowly from the building .........................

chronology: 'If the Palestine Project does not work out, there is always Vietnam' Huh?

Well in 1946 Ho Chi Mhin and David Ben Gurion were staying in the same Hotel in Paris. They became fast friends and Ho took an interest in Jewish affairs. He assured Ben Gurion that if Britain welchted on it's promise to give the Jews their homeland back in Palestine there was always a warm welcome and a lot of land in Vietnam Jews could have to set up a new home.

It sounds like a National Enquirer Story, but some insist the meeting between Ho and Ben Gurion did in fact take place in Post War Paris.

It seems at the time Mr Ben Gurion was having problems getting President Truman to sign off on assuring Zionist Groups for massive U.S. support for the Israel Project. Zionists wanted the President to write up a 'Jewish State' agreement, President Truman was insisting this was impossible as there is no such thing as a 'Religious State' Israel must be a secular State.

It seems almost surreal to think of Israeli families tending Rice Paddies and using Water Buffelows to harvest Rice. But at least it shows Ho was a generous, if somewhat impractical friend of the Jewish people.

chronology: 'Too much even for William S Burroughs'

Kurt Cobain was struck with what he saw as a great idea. In one of his videos he would have William S Burroughs on a Cross like Jesus.

Burroughs, a life long child molester, drug addict, thief and one time fugitive from U.S. Law Enforcement is not the first person you would imagine to play Jesus in a Rock Video.

Burroughs replied to Cobain declining his offer. But he and Cobain did become good friends.

chronology: When it comes to water, America has numerous Spring Waters offered for sale in Supermarkets and Gas Stations. Nothing like chilled Spring Water from Mountain Springs in the Rockies, or Georgia Springs. Refreshing indeed. But a huge water industry began in Boston in 1806 when Frederic Tudor decided folks in the Caribbean would like nothing better than Boston Ice shipped down to them in their steaming hot islands. And that is just what he did, shipped 80 tons of ice to the tropics. And business never took off down there, folks just did not know what to do with the ice.

So Fred set out to show customers how to enjoy the ice. He demonstrated chilled drinks, and down in Dixie probably killed not a few people when he convinced hospitals ice baths could be used to treat fevers.

Soon most homes in America had an Ice Box and Fred and others were shipping thousands of tons of ice to Southern States, and even across the world to British Calcutta. Being a worker in the Ice Cutting lakes was harsh work full of men with missing fingers from slips of the blades to broken legs and crushed hands. And only one tenth of the ice actually reached market.

So Wireclubbers if you are ever in the U.S. enjoying a chilled bottle of American Mineral water straight from the Store Refrigerator, spare a thought for the how much trouble people had to endure to enjoy a chilled drink in the past.

chronology: Playboy Bunny.

Ever since Playboy's second issue, the magazine has carried the Bunny Symbol. Hugh Heffner was asked why he chose the Bunny Symbol; 'it is just because Bunnies have fun and are playful' he replied.

By 1959 the Playboy Bunny was so much a part of American Culture that a man in New York simply drew a Bunny on a letter he was sending to Playboy.

chronology: Uma Thurman.

Well Wireclubbers Social Networking Sites across the world are ablaze with comments on Ms Thurman's new appearance. Even Uma, an experienced Hollywood Actress must be surprised at how the millions of her fans have reacted.

One thing is sure. Uma will have few problems with days out shopping in New York City, no one will recognise her.

chronology: Shark Attack in Australia.

Sadly another Surfer has been killed by a shark in Australia. tho Australia still has only two fatalities a year from sharks on average, same as South Africa. A Japanese surfer had both legs torn off yesterday and bled to death before he could be rushed to hospital. Despite having 20 times more people enjoying sports in the Oceans, the U.S. averages only 1 fatality from sharks each year. The reason for the lower death rate off U.S. Coasts is due to the less aggressive breeds of sharks found there. South African and Australian sharks are big powerful fish, usually Great Whites.

Animal Advocates insist the problem with human injuries is not due to the sharks, but rather due to humans invading shark territory.

Around 11 people are killed by sharks each year around the world, in most cases the sharks mistake people for natural prey. Millions of sharks however are killed every year, often just for their fins.

chronology: The Pentagon.

Most folks know the Pentagon Foundation Stone was laid in Sep 11 1941, but why was the D.O.D. Building built in a Pentagon shape?

The answer is really so mundane. The original land the Pentagon was planned to be built on was shaped in a rough Pentagon shape, but after noticing the building would obscure the view of the Capital City from some locations it was decided to move the site of the building to Washington Hoover Airfield. Drawing up an entire new set of designs and blueprints would have been extremely costly, so the original design was kept.

chronology: 'Death of the Old Crocodile'

The good folks of Bangladesh had a tradition which saw them toss dead chickens to a local Crocodile who lived in a pond. They believed this would bring them good luck. Well it was certainly good fortune for the old Crocodile, he was around 100 years and too old to be chasing after his normal food. Each day Priests would bang a Dinner Gong and slowly the old Crock would emerge at the surface of the pond to be served his favourite daily dish. But lately the folks in search of good luck had take to tossing in small goats to the Old Chap who dutifully guzzled down his meals then waddled away to sleep till the next chow down.

But a few days ago the priests found the portly old reptile dead in the water, he had just eaten too much after being over served with goats.

And so has ended the life of probably the happiest Crocodile in the world, a life spent chomping away on regular meals and lazy days spent sunning himself in the warm tropical days.

chronology: Ginseng 2014 Harvest said to be excellent.

Ginseng Harvesting and presentation and sale to Dealers ended in September 2014 and the Harvest was said to be one of the best ever.

U.S. Ginseng is popular worldwide at the moment, but West Virginia Ginseng is especially relished by connoisseurs and prices are around 1300 Dollars a pound, worth every Cent insist consumers of the root.

People often ask what is special about Ginseng, for those of us who use the root we often say it is similar to a fresh ground coffee drink, it gives you greater attention ability and more energy, some people report other benefits from Ginseng that definitely enhance their marriage life. Most people just enjoy the 'Peak Experience' which Ginseng can give to some connoisseurs.

chronology: 70 years ago today, Dresden is destroyed.

Dresden is marking 70 years since the air raid that destroyed the City. The raid is still clouded by controversy and some people want Sir Winston Churchill declared a 'War Criminal' for approving the attack on the city that killed 25.000 people in one night. There seemed no logical reason at all for the attack on Dresden, like the raid on Dieppe in France.
