McDonald's Worker Saves Police Officer

"A McDonald's employee in Florida rescued a police officer on Tuesday after she became unconscious at the restaurant's drive-thru window, according to a local ABC News affiliate report.

Surveillance footage provided to Miami-based station WPLG showed the fast-acting employee, Pedro Viloria, jumping out of the Doral store’s drive-thru window after a customer very slowly pulled away and ran into a median.

Viloria said the customer -- an off-duty Miami-Dade police officer who had her two children in the backseat -- was suffering from a medical emergency." Reports ABC News.

The Officer was helped by a 2nd McDonald's employee, and was rushed to a hospital where she was stabilized and is expected to be OK. 

World Trade Center Secret Report - Yahoo News

WASHINGTON (AP) — Amid the clamor a year ago to release 28 still-secret pages of a congressional inquiry into the Sept. 11 attacks, the government quietly declassified a little-known report listing more than three dozen people who piqued the interest of investigators probing possible Saudi connections to the hijackers.

The document, known as "File 17," offers clues to what might be in the missing pages of the bipartisan report about 9/11.

"Much of the information upon which File 17 was written was based on what's in the 28 pages," said former Democratic Sen. Bob Graham of Florida, co-chairman of the congressional inquiry. He believes the hijackers had an extensive Saudi support system while they were in the United States.

"File 17 said, 'Here are some additional unanswered questions and here is how we think the 9/11 Commission, the FBI and the CIA should go about finding the answers,'" Graham said.

Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir denies any allegations of Saudi complicity, telling reporters in Washington earlier this month that there is "no there there."

Former President George W. Bush classified the 28-page chapter to protect intelligence sources and methods, although he also probably did not want to upset U.S. relations with Saudi Arabia, a close U.S. ally. Two years ago, under pressure from the families of those killed or injured on Sept. 11, and others, President Barack Obama ordered a declassification review of the 28 pages. It's unclear when all or some may be released.

The report by the two researchers, one of several commission documents the National Archives has reviewed and released, lists possible leads the commission could follow, the names of people who could be interviewed and documents the commission might want to request in looking deeper into the attacks.

File 17, first disclosed by 28pages.org, an advocacy website, names people the hijackers were in contact with in the United States before the attacks. Some were Saudi diplomats, raising questions about whether Saudi officials knew about the plot.

The 9/11 Commission's final report stated that it found "no evidence that the Saudi government as an institution or senior Saudi officials individually funded" al-Qaida. "This conclusion does not exclude the likelihood that charities with significant Saudi government sponsorship diverted funds to al-Qaida," the report said.

Releasing the 28 pages might answer some questions, but the disclosure also could lead to more speculation about the key Saudi figures investigated by the U.S. after the attacks. A look at some of those named in the declassified report and what the 9/11 Commission concluded:

___

FAHAD AL-THUMAIRY

An imam at the King Fahad Mosque in Culver City, California, al-Thumairy was suspected of helping two of the hijackers after they arrived in Los Angeles. He was an accredited diplomat at the Saudi Arabian consulate in Los Angeles from 1996 to 2003.

The 9/11 Commission said al-Thumairy reportedly led an extremist faction at the mosque. He has denied promoting jihad and told U.S. investigators that he never helped the hijackers.

The commission said al-Thumairy met at the consulate with Omar al-Bayoumi, a Saudi national, in February 2000 just before al-Bayoumi met the two hijackers at a restaurant. Al-Thumairy denied knowing al-Bayoumi even though the two talked on the phone numerous times as early as 1998, including more than 11 calls between Dec. 3-20, 2000. Al-Bayoumi told investigators those conversations were about religious matters.

The 9/11 Commission said that despite the circumstantial evidence, "We have not found evidence that al-Thumairy provided assistance to the two operatives."

A CIA document dated March 19, 2004, said Khallad bin Attash, an al-Qaida operative and suspected planner of the USS Cole bombing in Yemen in October 2000, was in Los Angeles for two weeks in June 2000 and was seen in the company of "Los Angeles-based Sunni extremists (redacted section) Fahad al-Thumairy."

On May 6, 2003, al-Thumairy tried to return to the U.S. from Saudi Arabia, but was refused entry on suspicion he might be connected with terrorist activity.

___

OMAR AL-BAYOUMI

A Saudi national who helped the two hijackers in California. Al-Bayoumi told investigators that he and another man drove to Los Angeles from San Diego so that he could address a visa issue and collect papers at the Saudi consulate. Afterward they went to the restaurant in Culver City where he heard the two hijackers speaking in what he recognized to be Gulf Arabic and struck up a conversation with them.

The hijackers told him they didn't like Los Angeles, and al-Bayoumi invited them to move to San Diego. He helped them find and lease an apartment.

The congressional researchers' report said: "Al-Bayoumi has extensive ties to the Saudi government and many in the local Muslim community in San Diego believed that he was a Saudi intelligence officer."

The 9/11 Commission said al-Bayoumi was officially employed by Ercan, a subsidiary of a contractor for the Saudi Civil Aviation Administration. The commission also said that a fellow employee described al-Bayoumi as a "ghost employee," noting that he was one of many Saudis on the payroll who was not required to work.

He left the United States in August 2001, weeks before the Sept. 11 attacks.

The 9/11 Commission said it did not "know whether the lunch encounter occurred by chance or by design." The commission said its investigators who spoke with him and studied his background found him to be an "unlikely candidate for clandestine involvement" with Islamic extremists.

___

OSAMA BASSNAN

A close associate of al-Bayoumi who was in frequent contact with the hijackers and lived in an apartment complex across the street from them in San Diego. Bassnan vocally supported Osama bin Laden.

The staffers' found that Bassnan, a former employee of the Saudi government's educational mission in Washington, received considerable funding from Princess Haifa al-Faisal, wife of Prince Bandar bin Sultan, former intelligence chief in Saudi Arabia and the kingdom's U.S. ambassador from 1983 to 2005. The money was supposedly for Bassnan's wife's medical treatments, and the 9/11 Commission said there was no evidence the money was redirected toward terrorism.

___

MOHDHAR ABDULLAH

The staffers' report said Abdullah translated for the two hijackers and helped them open bank accounts and contact flight schools. Interviewed many times by the FBI, Abdullah said he knew of the two hijackers' extremist views but said he did not know what they were planning.

The 9/11 Commission said: "During a post 9/11 search of his possessions, the FBI found a notebook (belonging to someone else) with references to planes falling from the sky, mass killing and hijacking. Further, when detained as a material witness following the 9/11 attacks, Abdullah expressed hatred for the U.S. government and stated that the U.S. brought 'this' on themselves."

The commission also learned of reports that Abdullah bragged to other inmates at a California prison in the fall of 2003 that he knew the hijackers were planning an attack — reports the commission nor the FBI were not able to verify.

He was deported to Yemen in May 2004 after the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of California declined to prosecute him on charges arriving out alleged comments made in prison.

RARE WHITE GIRAFFE SPOTTED
"The Rothschild giraffe, which has lost pigmentation in its hide because of a rare condition, was spotted roaming. Its herd seemed completely oblivious to her unusual colouring, according to photographer Jamie Manuel.
 Mr Manuel said he is one of the only people to have captured images of the white giraffe since rumours of its existence emerged in February this year.
 The animal has leucism, a condition where there is a partial loss of pigmentation resulting in white, pale or patchy colouration of skin or hair. Unlike albinism it is caused by a reduction in multiple types of pigment, not just melanin.
 'Word was sent out that we were on the trail of the white giraffe and slowly herders sent word back of the general area it had last been seen in. He said that on the second day of searching he found a 20-strong herd in a clearing in the forest - and that the white giraffe was among them." Via whitewolfpack (or pac).com

Dennis Martin Mystery, 1969, Missing 411

Dennis Martin, missing since June 14th, 1969, 4:30pm, last seen: Spence Field, near Great Smokey Mountains


published: December 10 2008


Writer’s note: Dennis Martin was my cousin. My grandmother was on the mountain the day he went missing. My family searched for weeks, even months. I grew up hearing the story of “little Dennis Martin” and his heartbreaking disappearance. It deeply affected my family and the surrounding community.


Next June will mark the 40th anniversary of the longest and most intensive search for a lost person ever in the Great Smoky Mountains. No trace of the missing boy was ever found.
Dennis Martin disappeared June 14, 1969, while on a camping trip with his family at Spence Field in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Dennis disappeared just six days before his seventh birthday. The whole community was shaken.


“This family tragedy has forever changed the way the Martin family views the mountains,” Dennis’s first cousin, Fred Martin, said.


Dennis was playing with his older brother and two other boys that they had met on the mountain. Around 4 p.m., the boys decided to sneak up on their parents and scare them. All of the boys, except Dennis, snuck around behind the parents. But Dennis was told to sneak up another way because he had a bright red shirt on that could have been easily spotted. After the other boys scared the parents and Dennis did not appear, William Martin, Dennis’ father, began to call his name. Family members began to search for him just three-to-five minutes after he disappeared.
Dennis’ grandfather, Clyde Martin, hiked down the mountain to get help. He arrived at Cades Cove at 8:30 p.m. and told a park ranger, who immediately called for help and hiked back up the mountain with the grandfather.


Darkness began to set in with still no sign of Dennis. Thunderstorms rolled in and the temperature began to drop during the first hours of the search. Rangers and family searched all night through the rain, but not a clue was found. “I looked until I was absolutely worn out… then came a thunderstorm that was one of the worst I have ever been in. All we could do was just sit there and pray, it was a terrible night,” Nita Martin, who was at Spence Field when Dennis was lost, said.


Dennis went missing on a Saturday and, by Monday, the Dennis Martin case was on national news. On Tuesday the search party included family, rangers, military units, civilian groups, dog handlers and TVA personnel – some 365 searchers. By the fifth day there was a greater sense of urgency as the search force grew to 690. Dennis Martin needed to be found quickly. Searchers were instructed to call out Dennis’ name because he was a quiet boy who would probably not call out for help but would answer to his name.


Media coverage was extensive, and “sightseers” became a serious hindrance to the search. The FBI was contacted because of suspicions that he was possibly kidnapped. By IP sixth day of the search, a day plagued by thunderstorms, 780 dedicated searchers continued on and over 56 square miles had been covered up to that point. On Saturday, the seventh day, 1,400 people braved the elements and searched for him with no luck. During the second week hundreds of people still searched for him. Robert Martin, Dennis’ great uncle , stayed on the mountain for two straight weeks before coming home.


On June 29, more than two weeks after his disappearance, the park called for a limited search. The limited search consisted of three experienced rangers searching full-time. They searched for two-and-a-half months, but never found a trace of him. “Nothing was ever found. Not a speck of clothing, not a shoe, nothing, not a sign,” Nita Martin said. “It is the most heartbreaking thing I have ever been through, it was the worst night I have ever lived through,” she added. Dennis’ grandfather stayed on the mountain for months as well.
“Old Man Clyde searched for months…he just refused to let go of it,” former park service employee and author of Lost!: A Ranger’s Journal of Search and Rescue Dwight McCarter said. No trace of Dennis Martin has ever been found.


The Martin case changed the way Great Smoky Mountain National Park performs search efforts. In 1969 rangers performed the search a lot like they would fight forest fires, with lots of people and equipment. Now there are specific procedures set up if a person is missing.
The Martin search parties had “limited resources and used a lot of local rescue folks…Everybody probably needed a lot of training,” McCarter said. “They really did their best. It is just a mystery I wonder if we will ever solve.”
“The Martin family are absolutely the greatest people,” he added. “I have the utmost respect for the family and I really wished it had turned out better.”

Mythical River Discovered In Peruvian Amazon

Mythical boiling river discovered in the Peruvian Amazon


 A mythical boiling river that stretches for four miles has been discovered in the Peruvian Amazon. The river, at Mayantuyacu, was discovered by geoscientist Andrés Ruzo after being told tales about its existence by his grandfather.


 Ruzo said Spanish conquistadors exploring the Amazon after killing the last Inca emperor came across extreme dangers – including man-eating snakes and a river that boiled from below, as if lit by a fire. But the Amazon basin is nowhere near any active volcanoes, and the geothermal heat needed would be so tremendous the very idea of the boiling river's existence was dubbed ludicrous by Ruzo's university lecturers and colleagues.


A report on his find by Gizmodo tells how Ruzo asked his aunt who had visited the river about its whereabouts. Deep in the rainforest, at the geothermal healing site of Mayantuyacu, he found it. The river is 80ft wide, 20ft deep and is extremely hot for about a four-mile stretch. One part even boils.

Fox Lake IL Cover Up

Officer Joe "G.I. Joe" G. whom recently died in Fox Lake, IL while on duty did not retire as he felt he didn't accomplish anything major during his 30 year police career.


He wanted to die a Hero, in the line of duty and have a Hero's funeral and give his family benefits.




 He simply gave a very vague description of non existent suspects then shot himself.


 The inferior mindset of police culture cannot accept this possibility of truth.




 Another possible theory is that fellow law enforcement set him up and killed him for an unknown reason.




A federal investigation needs to be done, a state one, a local one and several retired FBI, CIA and Private Investigators' need to get involved in this cold case.

Search For Fox Lake Killees

On Tuesday, September 1st, 2015 at apx 8am, officer Joe G. or "G.I. Joe" a beloved police officer and lieutenant who also served in the Army, of the Fox Lake (IL) Police Dept was investigating suspicious activity at an abandoned concrete building near Route 12 in Fox Lake, IL, investigating 3 males, two White, one Black, most likely between the ages of 18-35.


A foot pursuit ensued, and at 8:10 communication with officer Joe ceased.


3 minutes later backup arrived.


At 8:20 his body was discovered in a wooded area.


The 3 suspects are still at large.


If you have any tips regarding this case please contact the Fox Lake, IL Police Dept or call 911, there is a substantial reward being offered to anyone that can help bring these lowlife killers to justice.


Criminals may display psychotic behavior, and at least one may already have an existing criminal record and be on parole or probation.


Suspects may also be from Chicago and Wisconsin or biding there, may have left evidence from of outgoing cell phone calls recorded in cell phone towers.


if any of these killers are reading this, the late Robert Stack of Airplane and Unsolved Mystery's fame came to be in a dream and told me to tell you to think rn yourselves I in and face justice or a hellish nightmare in the afterlife.


My condolences to officer Joe and his family and friends, RIP.

UFO Sighting Photos In Chile Confirmed By Government - inquisitr.com

"A UFO sighting in Chile has been officially confirmed by a department of the government as not being produced by meteorological phenomena or any other known human-made object.

In a related report by The Inquisitr, a Mississippi hunting camera took a video of a UFO beaming down lights onto deer way out in the middle of the nowhere. The owners of the infrared were not exclaiming conspiracy theories about little green men, but they also couldn’t figure out the strange light projected by the UFO could possibly be. Since then the number of UFO sightings in 2014 have gone up significantly, with strange objects being caught on video in the United States (including a recent one in Texas), Canada, England, and the Netherlands.

These particular high quality UFO photos were taken above the Collahuasi copper mine, which is located in the northern regions of Chile. In April of 2013 four engineers say they witnessed a disc-shaped object hover 2000 feet above them for about an hour without making a sound before disappearing to the east. They described the unidentified flying object as a “a flattened disc, of brilliant color, with a diameter of 5 to 10 meters [16 to 32 feet]. It performed ascending, descending and horizontal movements in short lengths, about 600 meters above the ground.” Unfortunately, the four witnesses do not want to be associated with the UFO sighting and they have refused to talk about it further."

Discovery of Hammer of Thor - Epoch Times

"The discovery of a 10th century Viking artifact resembling the Hammer of Thor has solved a long-running mystery surrounding more than 1,000 ancient amulets found across Northern Europe, according to a report in Discovery News.

The relics, known as the Mjöllnir amulets, appear to depict hammers, which historians have linked to the Norse god Thor. However, this could not be concluded with certainty as their shapes are not conclusive, and none of them contained inscriptions revealing their identity.

However, another similar pendant has been found in Købelev, on the Danish island of Lolland, which is the first one to be discovered with an inscription. The runic text reads “Hmar x is”, which translates to “this is a hammer”.  Cast in bronze, and likely plated with silver, tin and gold, the 1,100-year-old pendant shows that Thor’s myth deeply influenced Viking jewellery."

Also:

"According to Norse mythology, Thor is a hammer-wielding god associated with thunder, lightning, storms, oak trees, strength, the protection of mankind, and also hallowing, healing and fertility. Thor is a prominently mentioned god throughout the recorded history of the Germanic peoples, from the Roman occupation of regions of Germania, to the tribal expansions of the Migration Period, to his high popularity during the Viking Age, when, in the face of the process of the Christianization of Scandinavia, the Mjölnir amulets were worn in defiance and Norse pagan personal names containing the name of the god bear witness to his popularity."

NASA’s “Flying Saucer” Successfully Passes Flight Test -technobuffalo

"High over the Pacific Ocean on Saturday, NASA’s LDSD “flying saucer” spacecraft traveled at almost four times the speed of sound as it raced upwards toward the heavens. At approximately 180,000 feet, NASA successfully performed the craft’s first crucial test imperative for a possible future Mars mission. But not everything went according to plan.

After deploying the craft’s doughnut-shaped inflatable device, dubbed Supersonic Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerator (SIAD), NASA was able to slow the saucer’s descent to a more manageable 2.5x the speed of sound. But upon deploying the LDSD’s giant parachute—the second and most crucial part of NASA’s test launch—the chute became tangled, and the spacecraft eventually splashed down into the Pacific Ocean. It was supposed to land gently.

If there was payload on that craft—or worse, humans—the mission would have been an unmitigated disaster. But luckily this was just a test, and NASA can use that data to improve upon the LDSD’s systems. The agency is using a parachute system that dates back to the 1970s, but with heavier payloads and a larger overall chute—about 36 meters in diameter.

Stating the obvious, Dan Coatta, one of the mission specialists, said it appeared as though the chute didn’t “deploy that well.” NASA tested the LDSD technology at extremely high altitudes because they’re most similar to the upper atmosphere of Mars."

Historians Claim to Have Tracked Down Remains of Vlad the Impaler, ‘Dracula’ -The Epoch Times

"A team of Estonian scholars believe they have finally discovered the long-lost location of Vlad the Impaler, the 15th century Prince upon which Bram Stoker based his 1897 gothic novel ‘Dracula’.  According to the report in Hurriyet Daily News, his remains are in the Piazza Santa Maria la Nova graveyard in Naples, and not the Romanian Transylvanian Alps as first thought.

Vlad III, the Prince of Wallachia, was born sometime between 1428 and 1431, probably in Sighişaora, Transylvania. His patronymic, ‘Dracul’, means Dragon, derived from the membership of his father, Vlad II Dracul, in the Order of the Dragon, an order of chivalry for the defence of Christianity in Eastern Europe against the Ottomans, so the young Vlad became known as Dracula, or “son of Dragon”.

Although Vlad was infamous throughout Europe for his cruelty, it was his favourite method of execution that ensured his place in history and gave him the name Vlad Tepes (‘Vlad the Impaler’).  It is said that as Vlad retreated from a battle against the Ottomans in 1462, he impaled and put on display some 20,000 people outside the city of Targoviste as a deterrent to the pursuing Ottoman forces. This psychological attack worked, as it is claimed that the sight was so repulsive that the Ottomans, after seeing the scale of Vlad’s carnage and the thousands of decaying bodies being picked apart by crows, turned back and retreated to Constantinople."

Mystery solved: This is the monster that ate that great white shark - Gizmodo

"It wasn't the Kraken. It wasn't Godzilla. And it wasn't even a rabid killer whale. The mysterious animal that had killed and eaten the 9-foot great white shark and had stumped scientists turned out to be a super predator feared by even apex predators like the great white shark. So what was it?

According to the researchers who investigated the puzzling case, it was a "colossal cannibal great white shark."

We found that the original YouTube video we posted this morning belongs to the documentary The Search for the Ocean's Super Predator, produced by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. It seems that the Smithsonian Channel repackaged it into another documentary called Hunt for the Super Predator.

 The documentary narrates the scientific effort to catalogue Australia's great whites and the search for the killer of this 9-foot great white that initially had bewildered the scientists. It was only after further studying the bigger migrating great whites that came into the area where the 9-footer was killed when they finally guessed the identity of the killer."

Missing Flight 370: Al Qaeda link explored as 11 terror suspects arrested

True theory or from a conspiracy nut? You decide! v

"As I have been saying for weeks and predicting they will not find the plane because the authorities deliberately blew it up as soon as it illegally turned from north to west. The reason why they did it was because its two Muslim pilots were on a suicide run. Learning from the actions of the four Muslim pilots in the 911 attacks, the authorities look for the actions of pilots which indicate a suicide run:

1. They cut off all voice communications
2. They disabled all electronics and tracking systems
3. They illegally changed course

The older pilot was angry at his Muslim government because his best friend, a politician, was put in jail for sodomy and the younger pilot was a religious nut who prayed in the mosque everyday. Once the plane changed course the authorities had 20 minutes before it would crash into downtown Kuala Lumpur and its giant Petronas Twin Towers. So the decision was made to destroy the pane then have it crash into the towers. The wreckage was quickly collected and all the search planes and ships were sent thousands of miles away on a wild goose chase.

Recently a pilot from Ethiopia hijacked a plane to Switzerland. Although the plane was followed by fighter jets, it was not shot down because the pilot maintained voice communications and did not disable the electronics. It also remained on course. If he did any of the tricks the pilots on the Malaysian flight, I am sure it would been blasted out of the sky.." -Mike215

Flight MH370 Crashed/Went Missing To Unite World Government's?

Flight MH370 crashed/went missing in order to unite most of the world's major governments,
someone told me recently.

Like in Alan Moore's comic book series, graphic novel and movie "Watchmen".

But weren't these government's already friendly towards each other in the first place?

I know the USA and Malaysia are and that the U.S. does business with China, it also
has good relationships with Australia, India, etc. same for many other country's.

Even without the USA e.g. China and Malaysia, Australia and Malaysia, China
and Australia, etc.

Still, something interesting to think about, I guess...... -Rob

Humans are one step closer to communicating with dolphins, after scientists successfully interacted with dolphins using an underwater audio device, according to news outlets.

Cetacean Hearing and Telemetry, or Chat, enables scientists to emit audio that resembles the sounds dolphins make in the water. While the microphones do not translate the dolphin sounds into human language, it allows scientists to “speak” in clicks and high-pitched whistles that can be used to teach dolphins new commands and vocabulary, according to The Independent.

Someone's Handing Out Leaflets in Eastern Ukraine Telling Jews to 'Register' - Yahoo News

For my 401 post I wanted to post something important via yahoo news:

In a disturbing reminder of an era that's supposed to be bygone, an image has been circulating of what appears to be a leaflet asking all Jews over the age of 16 in Donetsk, Ukraine, to "register" with separatist militants. The leaflet, reported by Ynet and picked up by USA Today, bears the signature of the head of Donetsk's temporary pro-Russia "government" Denis Pushilin. However, the Ukranians attempting to bring the region under Russian control have denied any involvement with the flyer.

Secretary of State John Kerry declined to assign blame for the leaflets in a Thursday statement. However, he condemned them as "'intolerable" and "grotesque." 

According to Ynet's English report, the leaflet, written in Russian, reads:

""Dear Ukraine citizens of Jewish nationality. Due to the fact that the leaders of the Jewish community of Ukraine supported Bendery Junta," a reference to Stepan Bandera, the leader of the Ukrainian nationalist movement which fought for Ukrainian independence at the end of World War II, "and oppose the pro-Slavic People's Republic of Donetsk, (the interim government) has decided that all citizens of Jewish descent, over 16 years of age and residing within the republic's territory are required to report to the Commissioner for Nationalities in the Donetsk Regional Administration building and register."

The flyer continues to instruct its Jewish readers that an "ID and passport are required to register your Jewish religion," and that they should bring "religious documents of family members, as well as documents establishing the rights to all real estate property that belongs to you, including vehicles." Members of Donetsk's Jewish population say they were handed the flyers by three masked men on their way out of the region's synagogue last week. The flyer notes that registration will cost $50, and that anyone who doesn't comply will be, basically, deported.

Note:

I posted about this yesterday on yahoo comments on another story regarding Russia/Ukraine. WWII ended a long time ago, and so did The Holocaust but antisemitism is still alive and well. Jews over there should ignore this leaflet but be ever vigilant, aware and careful. The world is watching, including the USA, Israel, U.N. and other Allies, ready to take action against any pogroms. History will hopefully not repeat itself again and if it ever does, Homosexuals would be next, followed by politicals, religious people and others. -Rob
