chronology: ' You could not meet a nicer guy '

That is what some in the Islamic community in Manchester are saying about the Ariande Grande bomber. They describe him as a good kid who would join in with soccer games and laugh and joke around with other teens in the Muslim neighbourhood.

But the last few weeks he'd been seen acting strange. He would be praying in the streets and singing Islamic songs. Some people are suspecting the lad had been talking drugs of some kind.

'i just can't think why such a nice friendly kid could do something like this ' said a former friend. He said it was amazing how quickly he changed.

Well wireclubers if the suspect had been taking Magic Mushrooms or some similar drug then who knows what he was thinking.

Police forces in England are getting a well earned break as armed soldiers are now in place at key positions in major cities.

chronology: Fuel of the Future?

OK wireclubbers you call in to gas up your car at a gas station in California. You decide you only need a gallon of fuel so you pay 50 dollars for the hybrid fuel.

So how far will your avarage size car run on a gallon of hybrid? Well you could probably get around 50.000 miles out of the hybrid, yep 50.000 miles.

It sounds impossible, but it is true. Buy a brand new car and fill the gas tank with Hybrid fuel and you will never ever visit a gas station again.

Round about now some wireclubbers will be saying 'yearh sure, Big Oil will kill the development of Hybrid' . Well maybe, but this gives you an idea of possible future fuels.

Converting your engine carb to run Hybrid will probably cost a one off 200 dollars.

chronology: Manchester update.

The father of the accused bomber has spoken out reportedly from Libya. He insists his son is innocent. He says he and his son are none violent and love Islam. He says he and his son would sit reading from the Quaran together praising God and have nothing bit love for people.

Although his son is being called the 'bomber' strictly speaking legally he is still only the accused. Although reportedly all the evidence discovered at the moment seems to leave little room for doubt his son is the only viable suspect.

We will have to wait for the trial wireclubers

chronology: How Ariana Grande has become the unlikely American hero triumphing over international terrorism.

You usually think of Drone Aircraft or Special Forces delivering justice to terrorism but the last few days in Manchester has shown teenage girls and young people can stand against violence and intolerance simply by their compassion and calls for tolerance after being bombed out of their concert.

Ariana is mainly a singer with teenage girls following her, but her considerate and sincere comments after the bombing, and the rejection of violence by demonstrators in Manchester has left terrorism looking lame and dead in the water.

chronology: American 'Fly Guys' looking for a Ski Holiday?

Well not really. During WW2 Switzerland maintained a strict nuetrality and stayed out of the conflict. But when you have thousands of warring aircraft flying past your country some are bound to fly over your airspace, a serious incident during a war.

Even so, Switzerland turned a blind eye to German and British Aircraft intruding into their country until ................... a number of their towns had the hell bombed out of them by mistake. From then on Switzerland had zero tollerance to any air intrusions.

At least 8 German aircraft were shot down and a number of Allied aircraft after straying into Switzerland airspace.

Around 100 American aircraft eventually wound up parked up in Switzerland. American aircraft were not usually shot down, they had been badly savaged in air dog fights over Germany and prefered to take their chances in the land of chocolate and cheese cakes, than ditching in Germany were they would spend their time in POW camps.

The Swiss were generous to the American pilots and crews and put them up in Ski Hotels until the war was over.

Still, it must have been a nerve wracking sight for Swiss farmers to see giant American Super Fortresses slowly landing in fields, often on fire.

American pilots had to be really really sure they could not make the trip back to base after being shot up in the sky. If the U.S. Army suspected they ditched in Switzerland to avoid the war they risked being shot as a deserter. It sounds like a line from 'Catch 22' American pilots faced being shot by Germans if they made it to their targets, and shot by Americans if they never made it home to base.

chronology: Classic Kate Mara interview.

Young Kate Mara got the best of Craige Ferguson a few months back.

While being interviewed on his show Craig offered Kate a drink from his cup. 'what is it'? asked Kate, 'drink it' said Craig. Kate took a drink then grimaced in revulsion and spat the drink back into the cup 'now you drink it' said Kate. Craige picked up the cup and drank it.

I guess both Kate and Craige won that dare wireclubers.

You can see the interview on YouTube.

Wireclubers will remember Kate for the part she played of Ellis's daughter in Brokeback Mountain.

chronology: This date in 1962 garbage dumped at a abandoned strip mine in Centralia sets coal on fire. Soon the fire spreads to the vast network of abandoned underground coal mines and burns unchecked. It is still burning today.

At first Private and Public Authorities saw little but inconvenience in the fire, but soon nearby working coal mines were closed due to the hazard of gas leaking into the mines from the fires.

At the start of the fire a local man said he could put the fires out pumping water in for a ' few thousand bucks' the cost today of putting out the fires is estimated at tens of millions of dollars.

One expert said the fires could burn for 200 years.

chronology: This date in 1958 the Vanguard Rocket explodes on it's launchpad during attemted take off.

To use a colourful American description at the time 'the rocket stood up then fell on it's ass like a fat old man' .

This spectacular American failed launch came against a background of outstanding success by the USSR at the time launching Sputnick.

Some suggest Vanguard's failed launch was the best thing that ever happened to the American Space Projects. It led Congress to create NASA and completely overhaul United States Space Agencies and drove the U.S. to make a national commitment to at least keeping pace with Russia's Space Programme. From the ashes of Vanguard rose a very efficient, successful, and first rate world class American Space Agency.

chronology: A Shark off the coast of monterrey has gotten his race a bad name for the time being anyway.

Think of sharks and you think smart hunting fish who efficiently kill their prey.

Bit whoops, the big guy off the coast of California made a superb first run at a small cannoe knocking the man out of the small boat. But instead of chowing down on the man the big fish then swam at the boat and, ignoring the man in the water attempted to bite the boat.

It is possible the Shark is blind and navigating by sounds alone.

chronology: 'Knock, knock, is there anyone there' ?

As ever, no evidence is presented for these claims, but according to some people, in the 1970s the U.S. Intelligence community decided to try and contact UFOs using their new stable of Remote Viewers and Psychics which they had accumulated.

You have guessed already wireclubbers am sure that is was a complete failure. But there were some interesting episodes it seems which U.S. investigators found.

After the first weeks of holding sittings with Psychics sending out 'Hi there' greetings to Aliens, there were responses of sorts to the calling cards from Earth. But after reviewing the responses, American researchers began to suspect the messages coming through the Psychics were not from Aliens, but from what could be called 'spirit beings' here on earth, or where ever these spirit being supposedly hung out.

No Aliens, just spirits jabbering away pretending to be Aliens. This fits in exactly with all reports of people who use oiuja boards or visit Mediums and meet entities claiming to be everything from Jesus Christ to Napolean Bonapart.

Well wireclubbers, did at least U.S. experts prove there are spirits? well not really. As Professor Jung had pointed out decades before, people can create complexes within themselves. These complexes are dissasociated parts of our egos that can even appear to speak if strong enough.

Never mind, at least we have more pieces to the puzzle of UFOs than we had before.

chronology: Sun newspaper in more trouble, again.

Poor Sir Rupert Murdock he must be wondering if his right wing tabloid the Sun will be driven out of business.

With a vengeance straight out of the Bible people in Liverpool England are still fighting tooth and nail to ban the Sun from ever being freely available in the city again after what they saw as the most despicable news stories ever spread against the people of the city.
The Sun described the soccer supporters as behaving like brute animals during a disaster, the people of Liverpool insist the Sun was lieing through it's teeth. A recent decision by local Lawmakers in Liverpool urged all retailers in the city to refuse to sell the newspaper.

Now nearby city to Liverpool Manchester is livid after it claims the Sun opportunisticly manipulated the news of the recent bombing of the city for political reasons. Like Liverpool, tens of thousands of people in Manchester are demanding a boycott of the Sun. With blood and guts stains fresh in the streets, the Sun ran headline stories against a election candidate say activists.

It is unlikely the people of Manchester will have a fraction of the tenacity of purpose that Liverpool people had against Sir Rupert's newspaper, but hey, who knows. The Right Wing Media around the world are probably uneasy at the popular uprising against their scandal rags, and will no doubt watch events in Manchester. There is nothing to watch in Liverpool, people there will keep on fighting until the end of this generation.

American Media is virtually entirely right wing, and the prospect of Americans rebelling against their news is trend they do not want to see.

He landed in Scotland, or his plane crashed there.

It is still unclear what Mr Hess was doing flying to Britain. Some think he simply went insane and simply flew while in a near trance. Others that he was part of some secret negotiations between groups in England and Germany in a last ditch attempt to join forces against Russia and overthrow Winston Churchill.

chronology: JFK, mirage in Texas.

One curious theory about JFK is that, not only was he not shot in Dallas, he was not even in Texas on November 22 1963. This is a 'perception challenging' idea indeed, but curiously makes more sense than the crazed murder plot conspiracies supposedly hatched against the President in Dallas. Every single murder plot conspiracy has been shown to be BS, but the anomollies in JFKs supposed death, seem to be explained by the fact he never died in Dallas at all that day.

But was Mr Kennedy in Huston the day before his supposed death in Dallas? Good question, and if people argue there is photograph and movie film of him in Huston the day before his death to prove their case, they have problems, dozens of those photograph can be clearly shown to be fake. And News Movie footage of the President seem to go out of their way to avoid direct clear images of the President.

Well did JFK visit Huston the day before his supposed death Dallas? well someone strongly resembling Mr Kennedy did visit Huston, there is little doubt of that. But what of all the remixed photographs? News Reporters would insist that was normal back in those days, people would always be inserted or removed from photographs of VIP people either at their request or at the insistance of the White House. Harry Houdini the Magician was doing that with photograph equipment decades before the 1960s.

But what of the people who insist they met JFK in Huston? well there are people who claim Mr J Edgar Hoover was in Texas the day before Mr Kennedy was shot. Not according to other witnesses who say Mr Hoover was in Washington that night, he could not have been in Texas. Mr Nixon was supposedly at the same dinner in Texas as Mr Hoover, but Mr Nixon, who was giving a speech to Pepsi Cola shareholders in Dallas the day before the shooting, could not have been at any such dinner, he was seen at a hotel in Dallas that night being introduced to a local social group who wanted to meet him.

All we can conclude wireclubbers is that if you want to believe Mr Kennedy was not even in Huston on the 21st of November, let alone Dallas on the 22nd, you could argue your case, the same if you insist all these theories are crazy talk.

Unfortunatly, the man shot in Dallas on November 22 was never positively identified with finger prints or dental records, his body was flown back to Washington, so we will never know ....................
