Coast To Coast AM - July 3, 2015 Tales of the Strange & Open Lines

 In the first half of the program, Buck Wolf, senior correspondent and weird news editor for the Huffington Post, shared tales and adventures from his investigations into the strange and unusual. He noted that the genre of "weird news" can encompass a wide variety of stories, such as bizarre finds and fringe art as well as paranormal events. Reflecting on how he ended up covering strange stories, Wolf recalled working for ABC in the 1990's and reporting on lurid murder trials like those of the Menendez brothers and OJ Simpson. Offered the choice of either covering yet another murder case or traveling to a Spam festival featuring a Stonehenge replica made out of the faux meat, he declared, "I want to see Spamhenge" and thus began his journey covering the bizarre.

While there has always been huge interest in these odd stories, he said, it is the explosion of the Internet which has changed the way they are covered. He explained that not only are there now a bevy of outlets that can report previously marginalized weird stories, but media companies can also see how truly popular these tales are to their readers, which leads to even greater coverage of the strange and unusual. Wolf also cited the proliferation of social media as a wholly unique new way that people receive news, since it has a communal quality where articles are shared and suggested amongst family and friends. Ultimately, he suggested that, as the level of interaction between the media and their audience continues to grow, broadcasters and journalists will have to adapt and become better reporters as feedback becomes instantly and easily available.

During Open Lines, Sid in Texas recounted a strange encounter he had on the 4th of July in 2007. At a family event, he and his father-in-law were cooking in the front yard when Sid noticed something strange running down the middle of the road. As it got closer to the house, he saw that it was an entity wearing a "space helmet" and seemingly covered with a protective layer of cobalt glass. As this odd visitor passed the house, he appeared to stop at the driveway. Encouraged by his father-in-law, Sid ventured over to the vehicles and looked underneath for the creature but saw no sign of it. A subsequent search of the area also yielded no clues as to what became of the 'space man,' leading Sid to theorize that it had somehow cloaked itself.

Other callers during the evening included Randy in Wisconsin, who wanted to raise awareness about how the population of fireflies seems to be diminishing in a manner similar to what is happening with honeybees. Thankfully, Randy pointed out, Clemson University is currently studying the phenomenon as part of a program known as the Vanishing Firefly Project. Greg in Oregon recalled his strange ghostly experience while staying at his sister's house. While resting on the couch on Christmas Eve, something slapped him in the back of the head, but there was no one else in the room. Following that, bad luck seemed to follow him, including a near fatal car accident.

A tribute to the late Red Elk followed in the last half hour.

Jade Helm Revisited

The problems in this world is not civil disobedience, but civil obedience to a organization that bullies the populace, I believe this is a runaway train and the government is going to do away with the mob, like when Romans threw its spectators in the arena.....They see a population problem, I see a greedy governance of American regulation as in the days of Rome and the days of Noah....We need to vote in good regular people just as qualified to run this country and if that means getting rid of the same old families that have been in politics since the conception of this country, so be it....Might as well call the Clinton and Bush families royalty then.

RON PAUL WARNING TO AMERICA - U.S. on the Brink of Collapse

The controlled media tells us that it is a symptom of corporate greed and an accidental occurrence. The truth is that recently released central bank cartel documents show that the entire global financial melt-down in a purposefully engineered consolidation. The following is a transcript of an interview with award-winning investigative journalist Greg Palast in which Palast blows the IMF World Bank program of slavery wide open. Because of the debt inflation pit they’ve created. GP: Yes, well, see one of the things that happened is that – we’ve got examples from, I’ve got inside documents recently from Argentina, the secret Argentine plan. This is signed by Jim Wolfensen, the president of the World Bank. By the way, just so you know, they are really upset with me that I’ve got the documents,

It’s not too difficult to understand that we are well on our way to a paradigm shift in America; in fact we’re in the midst of it right now. The writing is on the wall and can no longer be ignored. The US government has run up trillions of dollars in debt, and given the recent debates over the country’s debt ceiling, we can rest assured that neither Congress or the President will act to curtail spending and balance the budget. We will continue adding trillions of dollars to the national debt clock until such time that our creditors no longer lend us money.

On Main Street, average Americans have seen their wealth decimated. They’ve lost millions of jobs and homes over the course of the last five years. And if recent reports are any indication, the destruction of the middle class will continue unabated for years to come. The resulting effect is a vicious negative feedback loop that continues to build upon itself. Americans no longer have money (or credit) to spend to prop up the economy, thus more jobs will be lost, leading to more people requiring government assistance for everything from food to shelter. Indications are that the second quarter 2015 will also have negative GDP growth, that is, a further decline. As John Williams (shadowstats.com) is likely correct that there has been no recovery from the prior recession, just bottom bouncing with stock and bond markets driven by the Fed’s outpouring of liquidity, the first half of 2015 will signal a second downturn in the US economy which is collapsing as a result of jobs offshoring and a deregulated financial system. anonymous self sufficient country boy can survive depression global reset Travel Restrictions.

The EU has instituted the confiscation of bank accounts, which can be expected to become an international form of governmental theft.

Puerto Rico announced it’s about to suffer the same fate and a new chart shows the U.S. is on the same debt path. revolution liberty China has been quietly stockpiling gold for years now. In fact, it is stockpiling so much gold that many have speculated that it may be building a gold-backed yuan currency that would make the Dollar pale in comparison on the global market. election 2016 hillary clinton donald trump In terms of buying stores of goods to live on… canned goods, toilet paper, bottled water… the disruptions to the system here early on could be just as bad as an earthquake in terms of shutting down electricity so you can’t pump gasoline, or getting distribution channels disrupted to grocery stores so that you can’t get food California anticipating a potential earthquake.
