MADAME NHU WAS WILD, RATS AS PETS, JIM JARMUSCH ON CHIC-A-GO-GO, WAL-MART SELLS CASKETS AND URNS, TELLER ON SUCCESSFUL TRICKS!

who lost a brother and husband after a CIA led coup in Vietnam. From Surfer Richard Crowe
 
Las Vegas can be a magical place. It certainly is for Penn and Teller, who have been performing magic in their own Las Vegas theatre for almost eight years. The house is packed every night - a testament to both Penn and Teller's draw . . . and to the universal appeal of magic itself. "What makes for a successful trick?" Blackstone asked Teller, who never says a word on stage. He broke his silence for our interview (but insisted that we not show his moving lips).
 
RattyRat.com is a Minnesota based rat site devoted to having rats as pets. Rat lovers can find just about anything they are looking for here. From Surfer Richard Crowe

Wal-Mart quietly put up about 15 caskets and dozens of urns on its Web site last week, with most items offered for less than $2,000. These usually sell for thousands and into the 5 figure range!

SUPERHEROES IN WAR PHOTOS, SEA MONSTER SKULL FOUND, THE MASK OF FU MANCHU, CRASH DIRECTOR LEAVES SCIENTOLOGY OVER PROPOSITION 8, 100 GREAT HORROR MOVIE POSTERS!

A colossal fossilised skull of a 'sea monster', possibly the biggest of its kind ever found, has been discovered along Britain's Jurassic Coast.

A new book, GODDESS OF THE MARKET about Ayn Rand covers both the positive and negative parts of her life and philosophy. This talk by the author is in 7 parts, each about 5 to 7 minutes long.
 
 
From Surfer Richard Crowe. "Imagine a person, tall, lean and feline, high-shouldered, with a brow like Shakespeare and a face like Satan, a close-shaven skull, and long, magnetic eyes of the true cat-green. Invest him with all the cruel cunning of an entire Eastern race, accumulated in one giant intellect, with all the resources of science past and present, with all the resources, if you will, of a wealthy government--which, however, already has denied all knowledge of his existence. Imagine that awful being, and you have a mental picture of Dr. Fu-Manchu, the yellow peril incarnate in one man."
 
 
 
THE MASK OF FU MANCHU was made before film censorship hit America, and it was so racist, sexual and outrageous it may have played a role in ushering in censorship. It is also a great Fu Manchu movie, perhaps the best of all the movies. But it reveals America's attitudes towards Asians at the time, even if today no one wants to admit it. Watch it here:

Over the past few days, a remarkable letter was published in four parts at the blog of Marty Rathbun, a former high-level Scientology official who has left the church and now criticizes Scientology's leader, David Miscavige.  
 
In the letter, written to Scientology's current national spokesman, Tommy Davis, 'Crash' director Paul Haggis explains why he is leaving Scientology after 35 years.  
 
Long known for his humanitarian efforts and strong support for civil liberties, Haggis says he was stunned when the San Diego branch of Scientology publicly supported Proposition 8, the state amendment that took away marriage rights for California gay couples.  http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/archives/2009/10/crash_director.php

The Church is back with weekly sermons... who will survive? What will be left of them? You can be like the NORMALS and look away, or you can prepare yourself for a life changing experience.... yet again!

The devivals will be at 8PM at THE LIAR'S CLUB, 1665 W Fullerton free parking both sides of the street.

I think I left it near my keys so when I find those... ANYWAY prepare yourself for the word of "Bob", prepare yourself for the battle for slack! PRAISE "BOB"!

Barbara Crane: Private Views - Public Spaces at Stephen Daiter Gallery in Chicago, IL. "...An in-depth look at a deliciously colored and daringly intimate group of 4 x 5 Polaroid's made between 1980 and 1984. To obtain these, the undaunted artist prowled the lakefront and outdoor festivals seeking to capture and redefine the language of human connection. Faces play their crucial roles but Crane often gives equal or greater weight to the dialogues of other parts of the body - the dance of arms, legs and especially hands with their probing fingers – all conversing with mute eloquence in the public square."

Surf W/ Real Spies Part 3

SPECIAL THEME SURF: SPIES AND ESPIONAGE PART 3
The only thing new in the world is the history you don't know." –Harry S Truman
The chef who was a spy, the story of the Rosenbergs, Moe Berg baseball player and spy, Sterling Hayden war hero and actor, America's most evil double agent, the Sinn Fein man who was British Intel
 
Well if you missed parts 1
or two
you can click on the links to catch up. And now, part 3 the conclusion!
 
The OSS revelations won't come as news to anyone who knew her, since she reveled in telling about her most dramatic exploit, helping to cook up a shark repellent to coat underwater explosives and keep them away from devices meant to blow up German U-boats.
And her name was......
Julia Child!
 
OUR CITIES MUST FIGHT! Grim film about why if attacked by atomic weapons or any other kind of weapons, we should stay in the cities and fight.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1scLRMSySU
 
Benito Mussolini began his career as a spy for England's MI5!
 
How Washington, D.C. prepared for World War 2
 
Moe Berg played a total of 15 major league baseball seasons with the Chicago White Sox, the Cleveland Indians, the Boston Red Sox, and the Washington Senators, yet he made few accomplishments as a batter or on the field. Berg never advanced beyond playing backup catcher and substitute shortstop, and he always sat on the bench more than he played. Nevertheless, in 1934, five years before he retired from baseball, Berg was picked to join the traveling American All-Star baseball team on a trip to Japan. Fellow teammates and baseball fans wondered why a player with a lifetime average of only .243 was chosen for the All-Star team with the likes of Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth.

Why he was chosen was never disclosed, yet significantly, while the All-Star team was in Tokyo, Berg, who spoke Japanese, slipped away and took covert movies of the Tokyo skyline, Tokyo harbor, and munitions facilities from the top of the city's tallest building. The movies were later used in the planning of U.S. bombing raids over Tokyo in 1942.
Here is more on this incredible baseball player- and the trading card at CIA!
And how his films were used to plot our thirty seconds over Tokyo!
 
The film story of Ham: The First Chimp in space!
 
 
Peter Paul Rubens, painter of those fleshy, pink nudes, was a man in control. In fact, he was a secret diplomat and spy, his artistic work a perfect cover
 
Government film on Japanese "relocation camps".  People lost their homes, businesses, and found themselves in the desert!
 
Sterling Hayden was an American actor and author.
[hayden.jpg] 
For most of his career as a leading man, he specialized in westerns and film noir, such as Johnny Guitar, The Asphalt Jungle and The Killing. Later on he became noted as a character actor for such roles as Gen. Jack D. Ripper in Dr. Strangelove (1964). He also played the Irish policeman, Captain McCluskey, in Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather in 1972. He was also a spy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterling_Hayden

The most popular cartoon of World War 2: DER FUEHRER'S FACE with Donald Duck    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPhBwsWB2qk
 
The Rosenbergs were accused of espionage and executed, shaking up many who believed them innocent and creating leftists for decades to come. Their kids were cynically used to create sympathy, there are still colleges that teach they were innocent. They became the example of all the innocent victims of the era. The Rosenbergs have a problem though. One their supporters over the decades didn't know. They were guilty.
 
 
When George Bush left the school after the second plane went into the World Trade Center he opened his laptop and there was a message from Osama Bin Laden waiting. According to EYE SPY MAGAZINE, it read BUSH YOU ARE NEXT. It turned out Bin Laden had purchased a item from Russians that allowed him to read all of President Clinton's and Bush's emails. That item came from a rogue FBI agent named ROBERT HANNSEN. It also explains Bin Laden's comments during the Clinton Presidency about Bill's "decadent lifestyle" before anyone heard of Monica Lewinski....that the FBI knew something was wrong FOR YEARS and was powerless to stop him is a scandal our country still has not addressed

For over 20 years Denis Donaldson was a ruthless IRA man, who became a head of Sinn Fienn. The entire time, however, he was a British spy. He was found murdered.
 
This is the story of his execution by a group opposed to the peace and shared government in Northern Ireland today
