I stumbled on this article today and I must admit it’s hilarious:

John McCain doesn’t use e-mail. So it was downright odd to see one of his aides hold up a BlackBerry on Tuesday and claim that the Arizona senator somehow deserves credit for its existence.

“He did this,” economic policy adviser Douglas Holtz-Eakin told reporters, referring to a BlackBerry, according to a report on Politico.com. “Telecommunications of the United States is a premier innovation in the past 15 years, comes right through the Commerce Committee. So you’re looking at the miracle John McCain helped create and that’s what he did.”

This may join the ranks of the-Internet-is-too-hard-to-use statements personally made by the Republican candidate, including this remarkable admission from July: “I am learning to get online myself, and I will have that down fairly soon, getting on myself. I don’t expect to be a great communicator, I don’t expect to set up my own blog, but I am becoming computer literate to the point where I can get the information that I need–including going to my daughter’s blog first, before anything else.”

And then there was the rather sad claim, captured on video, from a campaign representative that “John McCain is aware of the Internet.” Plus McCain’s statement early this year that: “I am an illiterate that has to rely on my wife” for the Internet, presumably meaning such taxing matters as visiting a Web site.

Holtz-Eakin’s unfortunate improvisation is likely to add to the narrative of a presidential candidate out of touch with technology, just as Al Gore’s improvident boast about “creating” the Internet reinforced suspicions that the vice president liked to exaggerate his accomplishments.

[...]

The McCain campaign fell into that trap this week. If Gore could take credit for “creating” the Internet, then why can’t ex-Senate Commerce Committee Chairman McCain claim credit for “creating” the BlackBerry, never mind that it was developed by a Canadian company? Or Wi-Fi, which the McCain campaign also seemed to do this week? Or, for that matter, every computer and technological gadget used today? McCain, the father of the iPhone, anyone?

Of course the adviser wasn’t referring to the BlackBerry itself, but it doesn’t change the fact that John McCain isn’t aware of what’s happening in the technology world today and I guess it wasn’t that different 15 years ago…

Oh and there’s also the fact that Research In Motion is a Canadian company.

Daily Common Sense is a well established blog in its field and I published a lot of articles to debunk scams/hoax and conspiracy theories. For that reason, you can imagine I receive hate comments from conspiracists on a daily basis. I must say conspiracists/doomsdayers just confirm how crazy they are for most of them when they comment on blogs. I mean, it’s simply crazy and here’s why.

Usually, when I write a controversial article like the ones on 2012, pole shift or whatever, I receive tons of comments (700+ on 2012 explained) and it’s really nice to read everyone’s opinion on the subject. I don’t expect everyone to agree with me and I don’t want everyone agree with me: I don’t hold the absolute truth and I guess nobody does. In fact, it’s quite interesting when you guys don’t agree with me and I feel like we can have a decent rational discussion. The problem comes when bloody conspiracists/doomsdayers enter the discussion. While they say they are “open minded”, their comments are totally closed to any form of discussion because apparently we just are a bunch of jerks. That is without mentioning that they write every single comment in capital letters. Where does that need to write in capital letters comes from? I don’t know, but it’s really a particularity of doomsdayers. On top of that, they are the only persons who don’t understand they are writing on a damn blog and that the author of the article is approving every single comment going through. I mean, I’m sure most people understand that when they are writing a comment on my blog, attacking me personally with not argument will result in the comment not being approved. You know, common sense. Well, conspiracists/doomsdayers don’t understand simple things like that. Let’s look at a recent comment I received and it’s a good lesson of what not to write:

WOW ALL OF YOU MAKE ME VERY SAD ONLY PEOPLE AS IGNORANT AS ALL OF YOU CAN’T SEE THE WORD IS CHANGING WRIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU.WHY DONT SOME OF YOU DO MORE RESEARCH IN HISTORY AND SEE HOW IT HAS BEEN PROVEN THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OUR WORLD BEFORE IT IS A PROCESS IT MUST GO THREW.. INSTEAD OF ONLY LOOKING AT YOU TUBE VIDEOS(YOU PEOPLE MAKE ME SAD THAT THERE ARE STILL SO MANY IGNORANT PEOPLE IN OUR WORLD GOOD THING THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN THAT WAY ALL YOU MORONS WILL BE WIPED OUT

Ok, first of all, why write everything in capital letters? There’s no way I would approve a comment written in capital letters simply because there’s no reason to do so and it sounds very aggressive. Now there’s at least two good insults in there: “Only people as ignorant as all of you”, “You people make me sad that there are still so many ignorant people in our world good thing this is going to happen that way all you morons will be wiped out”. How do you want me to take such a person seriously? How do you expect to have a decent discussion with such person? I mean, when I said these “open minded” people are totally closed to any form of discussion, that’s what I meant. This comment is also a personal attack to a lot of people, writing on a blog is not like writing on a wall: there’s someone approving every single comment and that person happens to be me. Do you seriously think that by insulting me and every reader of this website and also proving your point with non-logical information will result in the comment being approved? No.

This is just simply amazing. Maybe 98% of the comments I receive are decent comments and I approve them. Unfortunately, the 2% I don’t approve is often from ‘conspiracists/doomsdayers’ and it’s not because they don’t agree with me: It’s because they don’t know how to behave. I’m trying not to be too hard on them, but they don’t help themselves.

Today, in my daily search for scams, I found a real gem! I ended up on a website called The Nibiruan Council and the amount of crap you can read there is quite amazing. Let’s start with the introduction just to give you a brief idea:

Welcome to the official website of the Nibiruan Council, a multidimensional off-world council whose members are connected to the planet Nibiru.

The Nibiruans’ mission is to prepare humanity to take their rightful place in the greater galactic community.

Jelaila Starr is the Nibiruan Councils’ messenger and channel. Through her articles, workshops, and lectures, the Nibiruan Council’s message has touched the hearts of many people around the world inspiring hope and understanding.

What? A multidimensional off-world council whose members are connected to the planet Nibiru? Yeah right, the planet that is still to be found.

Guess what? The website sells books!

For a special prive of 89$ you can get two “awesome” (feel the sarcasm here…) books:

We are the Nibiruans
Learn about Earth, the Nibiruans, our galactic history, starseeds,
walk-ins, how to recode your DNA and much more.

The Mission Remembered

The Nibiruans reveal their work to prepare for 2012. Discover the galactic events whose final days are being replayed on Earth between now and 2012. Learn what you can do to alter these events and prepare for 2012.

Ok, so learn about Earth, the Nibiruans, our galactic history, starseeds, walk-ins, how to recode your DNA and much more. Did I just read how to recode your DNA? That’s correct, DNA reprogramming. Learn how to do in in the confort of your home while watching T.V.! Totally ridiculous.

Wait, there’s more crap

We learn on the website that there are five races in the Galatic confederation:

Felines

The Felines are one of the two primary races in our universe. They arrived here by invitation of the Founders. Having successfully completed their Universal Game and completing their universe, a group of 45 Felines volunteered to come to this universe to help setup and oversee the same game here.

Humans

he Humans are the youngest of the four primary races in our universe. They were first created by the Felines on a planet in the Vega star system of the Lyra constellation.

Carians

The Carians are a race of birdlike Beings. At their most evolved state, the ruling class of the Carians resemble humans with eagle-like features and coloring.

Reptilians

The Reptilians are the creation of the Carians, their parent race. They evolved on a planet in the Alpha Draconi star system of the Orion Constellation. The royal line of Reptilians are the Draconians, the winged dragons.

Nommos

The Nommos are a race of Beings that takes the physical forms of dolphins, whales, mermaids/mermen. Their home world is a planet in the Sirius star system that is mostly warm aqua-blue water.

I could go on and on

Ok, so I really could go on and on with that as there’s an incredible amount of information on this website. I shouldn’t really call it information as it’s not what it is. It’s just an incredible amount of false stuff to help sell books. Hope you laughed a bit!

Here’s a stupid one:

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - A New Mexico appeals court on Friday ruled against a Los Alamos man who wanted to change his name to a phrase containing a popular four-letter obscenity.

The man appealed after a state district judge in Bernalillo County refused his request to change his name to “Fuck Censorship!”

Judge Nan Nash ruled that the proposed name change was “obscene, offensive and would not comport with common decency.”

The man - whose current legal name is Variable - argued on appeal that it was improper government censorship to deny him the name change.

“We do not believe that the district’s court action infringes on petitioner’s right to free speech,” a three-judge panel of the Court of Appeals said in its ruling.

The man has the right to call himself whatever he wants, unless there’s fraud or misrepresentation involved, the judges said.

But once he seeks court approval for a name change, the court has the authority to turn him down on several grounds, including if the name is offensive to common decency and good taste, the judges ruled.

That law was clarified in a 2004 case in the same court that apparently involved the same petitioner. In that case, an Albuquerque man whose name was Snaphappy Fishsuit Mokiligon got the go-ahead from the appeals court to change his name to Variable.

Wait there’s more! The man actually uploaded a video on YouTube to argue about the decision and how he thinks he got ‘censored’:

I’m sorry, but what a jerk! This has nothing to do with censorship, the name is just plain obscene. You know, sometimes I ask myself: “Why are there so many stupid restrictions in our society?”. With that story, I just figured part of the answer.

I’m shocked. I was browsing today and I stumbled on this article from thisislondon.co.uk. The article is about a man who today confessed that he imprisoned his daughter in an underground chamber for 24 years and fathered her seven children. How discusting is that?

Here’s a quick overview of the article:

Elisabeth Fritzl, 42, was raped repeatedly since being lured into the dungeon built below the family home in a small Austrian town. Police said she had been “broken” by the experience.

Josef Fritzl, 73, admitted to police that all the children were his.

Three of them - Kerstin, 19, Stefan, 18, and Felix, five - were held captive with their mother in a series of windowless rooms and never saw the sunlight until they were freed on Saturday.

Incredibly, three others, Alexander, 12, Monika, 14, and Lisa, 16, were raised in the home by Fritzl and his wife. They were adopted by the couple and went to school, leading apparently normal lives.

The other child, a twin, died shortly after birth and the body burned by Fritzl in a boiler. Detectives today revealed details of the complex of rooms where Elisabeth was held since August 1984.

The three children kept prisoner with her were born there and are thought to have spent their entire lives underground.

Franz Polzer, head of the criminal investigations unit in the province of Lower Austria, said: “He has now said that he locked up his daughter for 24 years and that he alone fathered her seven children and that he locked them up in the cellar.”

I know, this is horrible and I’m totally out of words. You can read the full article on thisislondon.co.uk if you want more details as there are pictures of the cellar his daughter was kept in and a detailed analysis of the situation. Not that it’s THAT interesting, but just to get an idea of what that girl went through.

Do I have anything to add? No.

Again, just when I thought I had seen everything, here comes this article from Yahoo News:

DUANESBURG, N.Y. - A 29-year-old man leaped out of a plane at 10,000 feet with a camera but no parachute Saturday. His body was found next to a house with a damaged roof, police said. ADVERTISEMENT

Sloan Carafello of Schenectady, who was observing on the flight, followed an instructor, student and videographer out the door, wearing no skydiving gear, officials said.

Police said they did not suspect foul play but would not elaborate.

Robert Rawlins, pilot and owner of the Duanesburg Skydiving Club, said he was flying the single-engine plane and had begun to close the door when Carafello jumped.

His body was found next to a house west of Albany.

If it’s not a suicide, I wonder how you can forget about your parachute!

I posted a little something a couple of days (weeks?) ago about the 2012 Olympics and how its being used to spread the 2012 doomsday theory. Now, a new theory has surfaced about the Olympics’ mascots and it is once again totally ridiculous. The theory tries to link China’s earthquake disaster and other recent catastrophes with the Olympics mascots. smh.com.au published an article about it and here’s the theory:

The five Olympic mascots are Jingjing, Huanhuan, Yingying, Nini and Beibei. Jingjing, a panda, is the animal most closely associated with Sichuan province where the earthquake struck.

Huanhuan, a cartoon character with flame-red hair, is being linked by bloggers to the Olympic torch that has been dogged by anti-China protests on its round-the-world tour.

Yingying, an antelope, is an animal confined to the borders of Tibet, which has been the scene of riots and the cause of international protests against China, the bloggers say.

Nini, represented by a kite, is being viewed as a reference to the “kite city” of Weifang, in Shandong, where there was a deadly train crash last month.

That leaves only Beibei, represented by a sturgeon fish, which online doomsayers suggest could indicate a looming disaster in the Yangtze River, the only place where sturgeon is found.

This is just one of the funniest video I’ve seen lately: training video for Asian prostitues. Enjoy!

Just when I thought I had seen everything about aliens, 2012, numerology and all that stuff, I found this article called London Olympics 2012 : Zion (The New Jerusalem)

I mean, have a look if you are interested in linking 2012, the Mayan calendar, aliens and 11:11 numerology all together. It is an interesting read but definitely failed to convince me. In fact, if you read the article, they lost me when starting to link the whole thing with numerology and particularly 11:11.

I came across this video today and I think it’s quite worth it. It really just speak for itself. So there you go, enjoy!

Alex is awesome. As most of you know it’s not my first post about Alex Chiu and all his scams. But now it’s not about the scams, it’s about Alex Chiu himself. Here’s a video interview with Alex Chiu from the Web Drifter. It’s simply awesome and a definitive classic:







My favorite part is definitely Alex Chiu saying:

Well, they definitely don’t have strip clubs!

When talking about heaven.

Other highlights:

This place is so gay.

This doesn’t help girls thinking you’re Frankenstein because you think you can make people live forever!

And the song at the end…I just love Alex.

Wow, great moment, enjoy!

This is truly amazing. The more respect you seem to gain is in direct link with the ugliness of your website when it comes to conspiracy/scams website. I say web 0.1 because it seems so far from the web 2.0 websites we see today. I mean how do they plan to get respect from rational people with that kind of web design? You just don’t feel it’s an honest website!

You just have to search for “2012″ in Google for example and you’ll see the ugliness. The worst thing is that these websites are appearing on top Google search results, which means they have some sort of reputation. It’s the same story whenever I get on a conspiracy theory website.

Alex’s Chiu’s website is the ugliest thing I’ve seen in my entire life. When you search for “Conspiracy” on Google, the first result is http://www.conspiracyplanet.com/ and once again it confirms the theory. India Daily is ugly as hell also and I could go on and on.

I feel better now…

Most of you are probably aware of this news, but if you aren’t here’s the story in brief:

BOSTON (AP) - A man listed as one of the state’s most dangerous sex offender has won $10 million in the Massachusetts lottery, but the attention may have landed him in new trouble. Daniel Snay had been living and working in Massachusetts since 2004. In January, he paid $20 for a “Billion Dollar Blockbuster” scratch ticket at a suburban convenience store and hit the jackpot.

He picked up the first of 20 annual checks for $500,000 on Jan. 30. And the Massachusetts Lottery Commission said he gambled legally. But his story caught the attention of police in neighboring Connecticut, where Snay had lived for several years and where, officials said, he never informed authorities he was moving out of state.

Connecticut Trooper William Tate said Snay could face up to five years in prison if convicted of failing to notify authorities of his change of address, a felony. He said Snay hadn’t confirmed his address for the Connecticut sex offender registry since May 2004, though that state requires address verification every 90 days.

“We’re trying to determine when he moved, why he didn’t register with us and whether any charges are warranted,” Tate said.

Snay, 56, a divorced father of five, was convicted several times of indecent assault and battery from 1974 to 1987. Two of the assaults were on a child under the age of 14.

Snay’s lawyer, Joseph Fabbricotti, said that when Snay moved from Connecticut, he believed he had to register only in the state where he was moving. [...]

You can read the full article here.

While most people focus on the fact that he won $10M but may face 5 years of prison or even lose the $10M because he failed notifying authorities that he was moving out of Connecticut, I’d like to see it in a different way. Daniel Snay says he didn’t know he had to notify Connecticut, but instead he thought he had to notify only the new state he was moving in which is Massachusetts. According to its lawyer, he’s supposed to be registered in the Massachusetts Sex offender registry, so that would confirm it.

Where am I getting? The point I’m trying to make is that according to Connecticut’s law, you have to confirm your address every 90 days if you’re in the sex offender registry. Then, the guy went away for four years without anyone noticing and it took $10M for anyone to notice. You have a level 3 sex offender on your list (most dangerous or most likely to re-offend) and you forget about him because he fails to confirm his address? That’s kind of easy to get away from that registry. I mean, does anyone ever do follow ups on that? What’s the point of having a damn registry if you don’t check who fails to comply?

It would have been fairly easy to locate Daniel Snay, he was working legally with his real name in another state. I’m pretty sure this could have been solved fairly easily. Instead, the guy wins $10M and we realize he hasn’t confirmed his address for 4 years and realize he left Connecticut 4 years ago.

It’s sad to see that the authorities/government aren’t doing simple follow-ups on their registry and raise a flag when someone is missing for more than 90 days. Instead, they don’t give a damn and take the chance of letting him go.

It’s no rocket science, registry = comply to it. There’s probably a lot of similar things happening all around the country…

UFOAn interesting article has surfaced yesterday on India Daily. Their ability to write BS is awesome. Before quoting the article, I remind you that India Daily is in the top 100,000 (53,781 today) visited websites according to Alexa, meaning millions of people are reading articles and “news” on that site every year. The article is quite short so let’s post the complete article:

All of us are focused on identifying the large visible extraterrestrial UFOs. These UFOs are not easy to locate as they use gravity waves and electromagnetic flux for creating effecting shield. The shields make them effectively invisible with our terrestrial technologies. The technology of stealth is much superior in nature.

However, there are many micro level UFOs and Unidentified Submerged Objects (USOs) that hover our atmosphere and under ocean water of extraterrestrial origin. These micro UFOs and USOs forms the basis of collecting information on our earth for the advanced extraterrestrial civilizations.

The micro UFOs have life forms. They multiply and evolve just like any other life forms in the earth. Their organic nature makes it impossible for us to be able to recognize them. These micro UFOs and USOs collect information on a daily basis and transmit the same to the extraterrestrial organizations.

What the hell?

They write things in a way you can’t deny it. There’s no evidence of what they say, no proofs or anything but still, you have to believe it. I see people coming miles away saying:

  • “UFOs do exist, you can’t deny it!” -> Maybe, who am I to say it doesn’t exist?
  • “UFOs are among us!” -> Maybe, who am I to say they’re not?
  • “UFOs blah blah blah” -> Maybe, who am I to blah blah blah

You get the idea. I’m not writing this to discredit UFOs existence, I write it because the article is ridiculous. Why is it ridiculous? Take the first sentence for instance:

All of us are focused on identifying the large visible extraterrestrial UFOs.

I’m sorry, but no. Not all of us are focused on identifying the large visible extraterrestrial UFOs. That’s the art of creating a “Fake hype” for something that simply doesn’t have any.

These UFOs are not easy to locate as they use gravity waves and electromagnetic flux for creating effecting shield. The shields make them effectively invisible with our terrestrial technologies. The technology of stealth is much superior in nature.

Who the hell are you to comment on something that is invisible to our terrestrial technologies? Have you located any and analyzed their technology? I don’t say it’s false, I just call it disinformation. It’s written like if it was the absolute truth.

The micro UFOs have life forms. They multiply and evolve just like any other life forms in the earth. Their organic nature makes it impossible for us to be able to recognize them. These micro UFOs and USOs collect information on a daily basis and transmit the same to the extraterrestrial organizations.

Please. They multiply and evolves and are impossible to recognize. Again, does India Daily have special relations with the extraterrestrial organizations to know that information? Of course, extraterrestrial organizations have invisible life forms on earth but they inform us of it? That kind of spoil the whole purpose of having unrecognizable organisms living among us. Then, they collect information on a daily basis and transmit it to extraterrestrial organizations. I don’t even want to comment.

That’s simply another great disinformation article from India Daily. I love their way of writing things. It’s just: That’s the way it is and just the fact of writing it proves it.

You can always write bullshit without justifying but as soon as you get into science, people are firing from everywhere if your arguments aren’t good enough. Logic? None. That’s why India Daily is so popular…And a piece of crap.
