Colorado 'Movie Murder Massacre' Sensationalized By Media

Colorado 'Movie Murder Massacre' Sensationalized By Media
from washingtontimes.com: “If it bleeds it leads”. That is the media motto. A motto proved with the coverage of the Aurora, Colorado shootings. One radio outlet dubbed it the "movie murder massacre." It led the news all day long and still is. Droning live reports of, well, nothing, dominate the media. All anyone knew for sure was one person, James Holmes, shot, wounded, and killed people in a dark movie theater during the midnight opening of “The Dark Knight Rises”. In a spectacular frenzy of sensationalism, the media bored us with footage and babbling commentary about what they did not know, and their experts who have no expertise. They just could not resist turning a tragedy into a spectacular national media lollapalooza. P.T. Barnum would be proud. It was sad and pathetic to see how low the media sank in the name of sensationalism.

string of deaths at rock concerts recently

from nytimes: The lead singer of a British pop band died Friday after jumping from a telecommunications tower at a Belgian festival. The incident followed others at rock performances earlier in the week where concertgoers jumped from great heights and were injured or killed. The Guardian reported that Charles Haddon, the 22-year-old singer of Ou Est Le Swimming Pool, an electro-pop music trio from London, died at the Pukkelpop festival in Hasselt, Belgium, in a jump that followed his band’s performance that night. A statement by the festival said that Mr. Haddon had decided to take his own life, adding, “Our thoughts and sympathies go out to his family and friends.” Last Wednesday, a man at a Phish concert in Wantagh, N.Y., jumped from the balcony at the Nikon at Jones Beach Theater and sustained injuries. The following night a concertgoer at a performance by the Swell Season jumped from a roof at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga, Calif., onto the stage and was killed.

Disgruntled workers of the world have united behind you. Flight attendants walk a little taller thanks to you. And now, musicians are playing tribute to you. Here are three ballads about the man who jumped outta his job via an emergency slide. Let us know in the comments which tribute is your favorite. Jimmy Fallon broke it down for his audience last night with the catchy chorus of "He took two beers and jumped... You gotta get two beers and jump." ... Rachel Glassberg sings, "See you later, Steven Slater, you're a first-class hell raiser."

ground zero: science fiction & spiritual poverty

please donate to zero point radio & ground zero media!
ground zero: science fiction & spiritual povertyfrom clyde lewis: In my history as a Talk show host I have interviewed scores of individuals who are authors in the sphere of Science Fiction. I have related my views on the idea that many people see science fiction as a great way to escape. I see it as an clandestine way to supplant religious thought with a new spirituality. It is a spirituality that has been highly favored by the cryptocracy and a way to acclimate society to the desired futures proposed by the elite. Now I am not saying that all science fiction has some sort of nefarious purpose, but what I am saying is that selected tales that have been embraced by the masses may very well become the new religious movements of the future if not in the present.

another suicide at foxconn, 9th this year at chinese iphone firm

another suicide at foxconn, 9th this year at chinese iphone firmfrom bbc: In China a factory worker has died after falling from a high building, the latest in a string of such deaths at the same plant. The man, who was 19, was employed by Foxconn, a Taiwanese firm also known as Honhai.

The firm makes mobile phones, games consoles and computers for companies like Apple, Hewlett Packard and Sony. Nine people have died after falling off buildings at the factory this year. Two others were seriously injured.

Police are not saying yet whether this was a suicide attempt, a suspicious death or an accident. It happened just one day after Foxconn started playing music to workers on the assembly line to try to ease the pressure on them.

Before this latest incident the company's founder had denied he worked his staff too hard. But he had promised a plan to improve working conditions within a month.

murder/mayhem: homegrown errorism, the amy bishop story & more

the twisted tales of joe stack & amy bishop are still developing stories of suspicious activities, too much to go into here ... go to cryptogon for a great archive of all the uncomfortable updates on dr bishop, but for now, here's a thumbnail sketch...

alleged alabama killer was suspect in attempted bombing of harvard professor in '93 & murdered her brother in '86
alleged alabama killer was suspect in attempted bombing of harvard professor in '93 & murdered her brother in '86from boston globe: The professor who is accused of killing three colleagues at the University of Alabama on Friday [feb12] was the main suspect in the attempted mail bombing of a Harvard Medical School professor and a Massachusetts police chief revealed Saturday that Bishop had fatally shot her brother in 1986... During a search of Bishop's computer, authorities found a draft of a novel that Bishop was writing about a female scientist who had killed her brother and was hoping to make amends by becoming a great scientist, according to a person who was briefed on the investigation and spoke to the Globe on the condition of anonymity.


now, the story of joe stack & another plane crashing into a building happened today, so all the dirt is slowly surfacing - such as the prior warnings, the hazmat teams being in place before the crash & surely we'll see this connected to tea party terronoia & homegrown errorism; go to legitgov for an archive of oddities, but for now a quick rundown...

man angry at irs crashes plane into building
man angry at irs crashes plane into buildingfrom ap: A software engineer furious with the Internal Revenue Service launched a suicide attack on the agency Thursday by crashing his small plane into an office building containing nearly 200 IRS employees, setting off a raging fire that sent workers running for their lives... The FBI tentatively identified the pilot as A. Joseph Stack III, 53. Law enforcement officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because the investigation was still going on, said that before taking off, Stack apparently set fire to his house and posted a long anti-government screed on the Web. It was dated Thursday and signed "Joe Stack (1956-2010)." In it, the author cited run-ins he had with the IRS and ranted about the tax agency, government bailouts and corporate America's "thugs and plunderers." .. "I have had all I can stand," he wrote, adding: "I choose not to keep looking over my shoulder at 'big brother' while he strips my carcass."

virginia governor clears way for dc sniper's execution tonight

fittingly, this execution comes as the mass murder contagion is, once again, raging across america...
virginia governor clears way for dc sniper's execution tonightfrom ap: Gov. Tim Kaine denied clemency Tuesday for sniper John Allen Muhammad, clearing the way for him to be executed for the attacks that terrorized the nation's capital region for three weeks in 2002.

Muhammad is set to die by injection Tuesday night at Greensville Correctional Center in Jarratt. His attorneys had asked Kaine to commute his sentence to life in prison because they say he is mentally ill. The U.S. Supreme Court turned down his final appeal.

"I find no compelling reason to set aside the sentence that was recommended by the jury and then imposed and affirmed by the courts," Kaine, who is known for carefully considering death penalty cases, said in a statement. "Accordingly, I decline to intervene."

Muhammad was sentenced to death for killing Dean Harold Meyers at a Manassas gas station during a three-week spree that left 10 dead across Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C.

He and his teenage accomplice, Lee Boyd Malvo, also were suspected of fatal shootings in other states, including Louisiana, Alabama and Arizona.

The motive for the shootings remains murky. Malvo said Muhammad wanted to use the plot to extort $10 million from the government to set up a camp in Canada where homeless children would be trained as terrorists. But Muhammad's ex-wife has said she believes the attacks were a smoke screen for his plan to kill her and regain custody of their three children.

For the families of those killed, the day is a long time coming.

update: sniper who terrorized washington area is executed
from reuters: John Allen Muhammad was executed on Tuesday for masterminding and carrying out with his teenage accomplice the 2002 sniper shootings that killed 10 people and terrified the Washington, D.C., region a year after the September 11 and the deadly anthrax attacks. The 48-year-old Muhammad was put to death by lethal injection at the Greensville Correctional Center in Jarratt, Virginia, said Virginia Department of Corrections spokesman Larry Traylor. "Death was pronounced at 9:11 p.m. There were no complications. Mr. Muhammad was asked if he wished to make a last statement. He did not acknowledge us or make any statement whatsoever," Traylor told reporters. "Things went very normally," Traylor added.

copycat effect: virginia tech students slain ~ again

copycat effect: virginia tech students slain ~ againfrom washington post: In what has become a sadly familiar ritual, about 100 students huddled together Friday on the Drillfield at the heart of the Virginia Tech campus, weeping and singing hymns as they mourned two slain classmates. Heidi Childs, 18, and David Metzler, 19, bright and promising students who were active in Campus Crusade for Christ, were found fatally shot Thursday morning in a national park about 15 miles from campus. Police said Friday that they had no suspects. The deaths of the young couple, during the first week of classes, shook a community that has endured a string of tragedies. In April 2007, it became the site of the worst mass killing by an individual in U.S. history when a troubled student fatally shot 32 people and himself. In January, a student was decapitated in a campus cafe, and a classmate was charged. "It's more disbelief," said Olivia Kasik, 19, a sophomore from Woodbridge. "It happened again. You can't really wrap your head around it."

5 killed in 'assassination attempt' on dutch royal family

from times online: The Dutch Royal Family looked on in horror yesterday as a car ploughed into a crowd of wellwishers, killing five and injuring twelve. The car smashed through two police barriers in an apparent attempt to ram the open-top bus carrying the royal party, which included Queen Beatrix, 71. Dutch media reported that the driver, a 38-year-old man, had been fired from his job and faced eviction from his home. He was slumped at the wheel when he was arrested. Police said that the man, who was in a critical condition, had no history of mental illness and had acted alone. No explosives were found in the vehicle. The Royal Family had been visiting Apeldoorn, 60 miles (96 km) east of Amsterdam, as part of the festivities for the annual Queen’s Day holiday. In a rare television address Queen Beatrix offered her condolences. “We are speechless that something so terrible could have happened,” she said, looking shaken. “My family and I think everybody in the country sympathises with the victims, their families and friends. What began as a great day has ended in a terrible tragedy.” On Queen’s Day, which commemorates the birth of Queen Beatrix’s mother, millions of people take the day off, dress in orange wigs and hats and hold street parties. Last night the parties were cancelled and flags were at half-mast. Ludo Goossens, a justice official, said: “At the moment of first contact with police on the ground, the man indicated that his action was aimed against the Royal Family.”

azerbaijan gunman kills 13 at college
from guardian: Thirteen people were shot dead and another 13 injured today after a student went on the rampage at his campus in Baku, the capital of the oil-rich Caspian state of Azerbaijan. The student – identified as Nadir Shirhanoglu – opened fire after a dispute with other members of his college faculty, witnesses said. He then shot himself in the head.

when this story first broke,
i saved a pdf of the original guardian article which mentioned:
"Russian news agencies identified the gunman as a Georgian citizen, Mursal Gamidov. The shootings may have broken out following a row between a rival group of foreigners at the college and Azeri students, the agencies suggested. The Azeri press agency this morning quoted a senior police officer as saying that the gunmen were "terrorists" who had been "neutralised". A student told the news agency Reuters he believed two gunmen were involved."
needless to say, that's all gone down the memory hole...
