Evidence of Ghostly Apparition at Habitat for Humanity Triggers Burglar Alarm!

This is a fairly convincing video of a ghost who is theorized to be attached to his or her belongings donated to the Habitat for Humanity.  It actually triggered a burglar alarm!  A paranormal specialist was called in who said it was some of the best footage he's ever seen. I don't normally go for these kind of stories but this one is very intriguing.



I guess my main question is how can this be possible?  How can there be a world in between ours and another?  Why would any alleged ghost want to hang around in a world where they can't experience anything?  This is so bizarre.

My Point Lobos Monterey Hiking Videos. Sea Life! Snake Traps!

I finally discovered the technique in Final Cut Pro film editing software to create higher quality videos for YouTube. It took a lot of experimentation. I have a HD camera so there's no excuse for poor quality videos.  

Here's my videos from a spectacular Point Lobos State Park hike last Sunday including a whaling museum, otters, seals and a rare snake.

Point Lobos Hike - 6/13/10
These are just few of my best shots (last I checked the photo album didn't play after the video, but maybe it's just a server issue) from the Point Lobos State Park hike. The couple on the distant rocks wasn't a planned shot. I don't know who they are. I have a great video of otters too.



One of the most breathtaking beach hikes in the United States is within 2.5 hours of where I live so I just had to go to Point Lobos State Park to check it out.  The weather was beautiful, if not perfect, and I caught a ride from someone with a convertible VW.  It was a total blast.  Next time I go I want to bring some wine and hang out a while.

I found it very difficult to get back in the work mode after this one day excursion to paradise to say the least.  I'll have video soon of the trip after I figure out how to get better quality.  I have an HD camera so there's no excuse for my videos not to be crystal clear quality.  If I only knew how.

Charity Lawyers Aggressively Demand Deceased Donor Funds

Am I ever grateful a customer shared his experiences today as a will and trust attorney.  What he shared really shocked me. Here's the scoop, are you ready? Some charities hire attorneys to demand their money when the donor's body is still warm!  Of course, this is a figure of speech but it's highly accurate in many cases.  Charities begin their collection process by having high powered lawyers look over the donor's trust who name them among many beneficiaries.  He mentioned the ACLU and environmental groups as examples.

Over My Dead Body Greedy Pigs!

What the attorney told me influenced my decision to never place any charity as a beneficiary in my will.  When I had far more money in my retirement account prior to the stock market decline of 2008, I've had such beneficiaries as The Humane Society, ACLU and ASPCA over the years.  Not anymore, and especially the ACLU I'm no longer a member of for their inadequate aid to political prisoner former attorney Richard Fine who I blogged about earlier. (The poor fellow is still locked away in solitary confinement not being charged with any crime!)

According to the trust attorney, the way to prevent charities from this activity is the language placed in the trust or will.  It must be clear all primary beneficiaries and/or debts get paid off prior to the residuals (i.e., left overs) being distributed.  Apparently the charities feel a trust or person's will is like a Thanksgiving dinner where everyone gets a cut of the bird leaving them with the crumbs.  That's why they're becoming bullies using attorneys to get at the money ASAP by exploiting loopholes in people's trusts.

The nerve of these strangers who think they have a right to a dead person's money shortly after they die that they hire lawyers to bully people to get to their money!  These charities often spend most of their funds on administrative costs and are wasteful.  The only charity I'd ever trust is the ASPCA at this point.

Thanks to New Leads Stacy Peterson's Body May Be Found Today in Peoria Illionois

A couple days ago I was thinking about what ever happened to the Drew Peterson case? I meant to do a search for information but was so busy I forgot to. Then today I happened upon the news police have a new lead of where Stacy Peterson's body may be buried. It seems so certain they intend on finding Stacy's body that they've even set up a media podium at the site.  Did someone rat on Drew Peterson?

Illinois State Police confirmed Saturday that they are currently following a lead in rural central Illinois regarding Peterson’s disappearance and have set up a media staging at a location near Peoria, according to an ISP release. Chicago Sun-Times

Another TMZ.com article reported the lead was from Drew's prisonmate who claimed he received a confession of the murder and whereabouts of the burial place.

Our sources say Peterson told the inmate he had an accomplice help him dispose of the body. The inmate then told authorities about his discussion with Peterson, which led them to the alleged accomplice. We're told the accomplice informed Will County Sheriff's officials and prosecutors that the body was buried just outside Peoria, Illinois.  Will County Sheriff's deputies and prosecutors took the alleged accomplice to Peoria Friday, and the accomplice led them to private hunting grounds. The owner allowed authorities to enter his property and the accomplice then led them to the site where Stacy's body was allegedly buried. The accomplice told authorities the body was stuffed in a metal drum that had been buried underground. TMZ.com

Regardless, according to a recent article by the Sun Times, TMZ's article has been largely criticized by Sheriff's spokesmen and others as being partly inaccurate in spite of the search taking place today.  It's amazing how rumors fly and how desperate news outlets are for a big story that the truth gets lost in the details.  Some sites have actually had the headline denoting the body's already been found.

It's such a shame so many sociopath criminals, such as the guy who randomly mowed down four bicyclists in San Francisco a few days ago, make up stories and lie in the face of the obvious.

The man, who is in his 40s, was arrested at about 1 p.m. after he went to the Albany Police Department and fabricated a story about his car being carjacked in San Francisco, police said. Police said Friday that after the driver - who, it turns out, owned the Rogue - crashed his car, he left behind his wallet, keys and a cell phone. Investigators went to the Berkeley address, "but he had moved and we could not contact him," said Sgt. Jon Kasper. - SFGate.com

Let's hope they finally find Stacy Peterson so Drew Peterson can't kill anymore of his future wives. It always amazes me how easy women fall for these idiots.  The man's pure evil masked in his jokes and comedy.  In fact, Drew Peterson's approach to covering up his evil reminds me of George W. Bush's attitude towards his baseless war joking about the weapons of mass destruction being unfound perhaps under dining tables.  Meanwhile, Bush's decision caused a million people and thousands of troops to die.  It was all a mere joke to him, typical of a sociopath's mentality.

Those Who Love the Ocean and Sea Life Are Heartbroken Over BP Oil Spill Tragedy

I think the only thing the dark side of mankind couldn't really conquer until now was our oceans and its thousands of unknown mysterious life forms.  All that's about to change because what the media's been covering up is the oil gushing from the bottom of the ocean can't be stopped except by maybe a nuclear device.  A nuclear device could even make matters far worse.

The notion of the ultimate death of the sea in the Gulf of Mexico is horrifying as it is heartbreaking.  It renders many like myself stunned and speechless.  The wonders of the sea are both inspirational as they are magnificent such as the ocean artist Wyland has been painting about the past 30 years.  Wyland obviously is on the light side of mankind who conquered the sea his own special way internalizing its images and sharing its magnificence through his brilliant interpretations.  Here's a little hint that Wyland's original artworks are going to quadruple in value when our seas begin to truly fade from this disaster.

Meanwhile, back to dealing with the dark side of humanity, that of politics and corrupt oil corporations.  Damn these reckless idiots!  Obama's carefully scripted soulless response to the oil disaster is being observed by many as that of a typical politician, not that of a real leader.  The Daily Show put it nicely:

This is a superb artistic video that best communicates heartbreak and sadness:

It's interesting to note the responses from BPand Obama all have a similar scripted tone none of which people who are experiencing the disaster first hand can really identify with.  That's how we can know our enemy based on their reaction. These politicians are cold, detached, emotionless and seriously out of touch with humanity as a whole.  The problem with today's politicians is they are a group of narcissist liars, criminals, mass murdering sociopaths, psychopaths, lazy thieves, calculating, deceptive, cunning and evil.  Politicians often twist facts and reality because they think they're gods.  I'm not saying yesterday's politicians were any better but those today in particular are the worst U.S. history has ever seen. They perfect their lies, scripts and are solely out of touch with reality.

On another note, it has come to light in an article from the Washington Post that several environmental groups are entwined with BP's financial support including The Nature Conservancy as its partner.  The Nature Conservancy accepted a mere $10 million from BP over the years.  Maybe that's why, as one videographer put it, we haven't been hearing much from PETA, Green Peace and the Sierra Club just to name a few.

A knowledgeable Danish cabinet maker and videograher has come to the conclusion along with many others that the oil cannot be stopped:





Those of us who have loved the ocean throughout our lives naturally feel a loss of its beauty and of the magnificent sea creatures suffering from the disaster.  The catastrophe will ultimately cause great human suffering and lead to these criminal politicians to take drastic measures to make matters even worse.  The earth's blood pouring into the ocean was also described in Biblical Prophecy I believe is metaphoric towards future human events.  As I've repeatedly stated in several blog articles, BP's intent isn't stopping the oil flow, but increasing it in order to capture it:

BPChief Operating Officer Doug Suttles told NBC'sTODAY that oil has started flowing up the pipe from the cap. But Suttles said it will belater in the day before they know how much is being capturedfrom the nation's worst oil spill."There is flow coming up the pipe," he said. "Just now, I don't know the exact rate." MSNBC.com

Finally, it's just a coincidence Goldman Sachs dumped 44%  of BP stock two days prior to the disaster.  I didn't know the Queen of England and Queen of the Netherlands are joint owners of British Petroleum.  That's right, two women own the oil company along with its stock holders.

BP Snubs a Horrified Titanic Director James Cameron's Offer of Help

One of the greatest directors in American history, James Cameron, director of "Avatar", "Titanic" and "The Abyss" recently referred to BP as "those morons."   The avid deep-sea explorer Cameron said on Wednesday that BP had turned down his offer to help combat the massive spill.  As I've repeatedly stated throughout my blog warnings, BP doesn't want anyone's help because it has no real intention of stopping the oil from flowing.

BP's only interest right now is a masquerade of theatrics on the world stage while deliberately speeding up the oil's flow for the purpose of capturing it.  BP recently announced the flow would be allowed to increase by 20% and isn't anticipated to stop until August, 2010.  The question begs if BP can't stop it now, what makes it think it can stop it in August?  My guess is BP is stalling for time to attempt to get to the oil, not stop it because it's an evil and corrupt oil company. 

Cameron said he had offered to help the government and BP. He said he was 'graciously' turned away by the British energy giant but has not spoken to the White House about his offer. . . Over the last few weeks I've watched, as we all have, with growing horror and heartache, watching what's happening in the Gulf and thinking those morons don't know what they're doing," Cameron said at the All Things Digital technology conference. MSNBC.com

In the article, Cameron suggested the U.S. government should take a more active role in monitoring the undersea gusher, which has become the worst oil spill in U.S. history:

"I know really, really, really smart people that work typically at depths much greater than what that well is at," Cameron said.

While acknowledging that his contacts in the deep-sea industry do not drill for oil, Cameron said that they are accustomed to operating various underwater vehicles and electronic optical fiber systems.

"Most importantly," he added, "they know the engineering that it requires to get something done at that depth." 

BP really doesn't want anyone's help since it deliberately drilled into a volcano full of oil 5,000 feet at the bottom of the sea.  BP knew the risks involved, and that it had few resources for a disaster scenario.  BP's is currently masking its only interest is that of recovering whatever oil it possibly can.  British Petroleum is obviously a foreign company and the U.S. government gets part BP's oil drilling profits so there's obviously a conflict of interest on behalf of the American public and U.S. coastlines.



To reiterate, BP has no intention of stopping the leak whatsoever and could care less about the health of America's coastlines and the world's seas considering it unnecessarily dumped tons of toxic chemicals which are far worse then the oil itself!  In an earlier post, I denoted a Russian scientific study which claimed toxic rains from those chemicals could potentially destroy the Eastern hemisphere of North America.  People need to wake up!

There's Free Rent for Mortgagers Across Country

This year the rent increase was the lowest in all San Francisco history, of .01!  This raised my rent a mere $1.09.  Usually the rent goes up $20 or so.  For three years my rent wasn't raised at all due to the rental market, but then retroactively jumped up all at once the fourth rental year.  I had saved probably over a thousand dollars for their not raising the rent.  So when I learned of this year's meager increase, I first thought the landlord gave me a break for starting my own businesses.  I later learned it wasn't them being nice to me this time, it was the local economy.

An interesting thing happened when I paid rent a few months ago. I accidentally wrote my rent against my business account that caused the check to bounce.  Fearing eviction, since the lease makes it plain anyone late whatsoever can be legally evicted, I panicked and ran down to my bank to get a money order.  When I contacted the landlord, she said as far as they were concerned the rent was paid because the check hadn't come back.  I was asked to hold the money order.  About a week later the landlord called to thank me that if it hadn't been for my contacting them, they would have never caught the bank error. A check was returned along with another item and it didn't register clearly as a bounced check to their accounting system. In other words, I would have received free rent had I not brought it to their attention.  My landlord and the building owners are great.  They had no intention of evicting me for the error.  I'm going on my eighth rental year now.

There seems to be a growing chorus of those in states where foreclosures take place through the judicial system (not California!) claiming great benefits from no longer making their mortgage payments.  In other words, if the value of their home is significantly less than their mortgage many people are opting out on payments while continuing to live in their homes.  Many state judicial systems are so backlogged with foreclosures, it now takes 438 days prior to an eviction.

Regardless of the free rent for mortgagees, it's really sad how bad things have gotten from the days of making tons of money for  home buyers whose properties doubled or tripled value in a few years.  If you really think about it, it's tragic homeowners are now feeling grateful to live with free rent a year or two prior to losing their homes and ruining their credit.

I would have loved to have had my own home with a yard and little doggie.  That's why I entered in the Dream Home Contest a few months ago.  It's a raffle to benefit Yerba Buena Arts to win a nice home in San Francisco and there are other drawings.  If I were to win the home, I'd take the payment instead because property taxes would be due and you need a lot of money to own a home anyway.

BP Oil Spill - What Are They Trying to Tell Us? My Video Two Cents
