Death Scene Gone Deadly

I'm sure everyone's seen the recent commercials for the upcoming movie, "The Interview"; a movie about two dumbstruck TV hosts, Seth Rogen and James Franco, taking on a CIA mission to assassinate Kim Jong-un. There is a clip I will provide below, that shows the death scene of Kim Jong-un and North Korea is not taking lightly to this. Although it's "just a movie", researchers have come to about a 90% assurance that Sony's recent computer hack was the actions from North Koreans. Also, North Korea has sent out many threats pertaining to national security and possible terrorism acts. North Korea said that the Sony Pictures attack was "a righteous deed" and that the movie was an "act of war". The Sony hackers have placed a threat of another "9/11 attack" on any US movie theaters showing this movie. The attackers also promised a "Christmas gift", which are files on Michael Lynton, CEO for Sony Pictures but the content is unknown. Their threat read:
“The world will be full of fear. Remember the 11th of September 2001. We recommend you to keep yourself distant from the places at that time. (If your house is nearby, you’d better leave.) Whatever comes in the coming days is called by the greed of Sony Pictures Entertainment.”
This is an absolutely ridiculous level to stoop to over a movie. North Korea is taking it as a subtle hint to start a war but actually, with the actors the movie obtained, the movie has become one of the movies that everyone is planning to see. It throws in tons of humor and also a little bit of some history of the past/present day foreign affairs with North Korea. The actors, producers, screen writers or whomever should very well heed this warning. This is not something to play around with. North Korea is threatening the well-being of our national security and this is not to be taken lightly. If I were Sony Pictures, I'd keep this little movie to my self (with of course watching it in my own home because who wouldn't want to?).

CIA not so I?

In recent news, the CIA has been on the hot-seat. The Central Intelligence Agency might not be so intelligent after news of their torture skills have gotten out. Their brutal interrogation techniques don't reflect any sort of "intelligence" to me. Their techniques include but are not limited to: waterboarding, sexual assault, round-the-clock EIT, stuffing people in a coffin-like box, rectal infusion of "pureed" humus, nuts, pasta, and raisins (what a lovely tactic);  intimidation with a power drill, etc. Intelligence is part of the CIA's name! What they're doing doesn't show much intellectual abilities there. These people are dealing with some of the most dangerous terrorists and are trying to get as much information from them as possible. I understand that torturing these people until they're basically dead is just an oh so fabulous way of going about it, but why can't they use their minds to trick them into revealing things. The brain is powerful thing; so why not psychologically confuse and trick them? I would think that would be more suitable for this intelligence unit.

Gettin' Rid of the Big Gunz

The families of the Newtown victims have recently filed a lawsuit against the manufacturer of the rifle used in the shooting of the Sandy Hook Elementary school 2 years ago. 20-year old Adam Lanza entered the school on December 14th, 2012 armed with an AR-15 rifle and fatally shot 20 students and 6 staff members, then turned the gun on himself after his bloody attack. This AR-15 should not have been sold to anyone in the public. It is a military rifle and should only be used in that sense. Someone in the community should not have any sort of access to buying a rifle that dangerous. Someone especially should not even own this weapon knowing that they have a person in their home with mental issues. I'm not saying that people shouldn't own any guns, but they shouldn't be splayed out to have easy accessibility; also the gun owners really don't need that type of military gun. As previously stated, I am not against citizens owning guns. Guns don't kill people, people kill people. But, those people who are killing people (if they have mental aliments) shouldn't have easy accessibility like Adam Lanza did. It breaks my heart that this tragedy occurred. My baby sister is around the ages of those children who passed away; just thinking that makes my heart hurt. The teachers and staff that put the children before themselves were complete saints, and tried what they could to protect those children. I understand that people want stricter gun laws after this incident; but it's not the gun that pulls the trigger.

"All Hail to the King of Innocence and Manipulation"?

This lovely mug-shot of Charles Watson was taken in 1969, after being arrested and imprisoned for the murders of Tate and LaBianca. Manson's fiancée has been trying profusely to get her loving man out of prison. This has been her latest Facebook update. Manson himself has never committed any kind of murder; but that doesn't make him innocent. He's manipulated the "Manson Family" into doing everything for him. Once the Manson Family and Charlie were brought into court for these murders, the judge had decided that Manson should also go to prison because he deserved to carry the burden of all the murders his cult had committed. Whomever thinks that Charles Manson is innocent, you are quite sadly mistaken. This man has an aura that sucks you in and never lets you out. It's like anyone he comes in contact with falls under his sadist spell. Star (the alias of Afton Burton) will never cease in trying to get Manson out of prison. She's even gone as far as critiquing the case of the Tate-LaBianca murders. Star has said that Manson's height was wrong in the court saying that on his driver's license his height was 5'7, but the prosecutor whom took Manson's height read it off as that he was 5'2. All in all, is almost a waste of time, a sad excuse for passing the hours because Charlie, even on his best day, will never see the outside of the Corcoran prison. Whatever is left of the sand inside of his hourglass is sure to run out, but it only slithers away while he looks at the nice cold walls in his cell and taints the minds of who's ever left in his "family".

The "Killer" Charisma Will Never Cease to Exist

Charles Manson's charisma is almost like the Twinkie. It ceased to exist for a small amount of time, but then it appeared again. His fatal attraction with Afton Burton is just one of the many manipulations he's bred. He's been able to manipulate, seduce, and brainwash many people; women especially. Even in the Sixties he had the "vibes" or aura, as our now modern people call it, where many kids would want to follow him. With his chilling charisma and undeniable gravitational vibes, people are sucked into his cultic vortex of "theories". Even behind the Corcoran, Californian prison bars, he's still been able to have a grasp on the outside world. When Burton was a teenager (she began a relationship with Manson when she was just 17), she began showing rebellious behaviors towards her Baptist and Christian parents, whom found this very out of the ordinary. Afton Burton began to smoke marijuana, eat mushrooms, skip the weekly Sunday masses, not crushing her parents' dream of being a preacher's wife. Rather, she wanted to be betrothed to an insane manipulator, a person with the characteristics of schadenfreude and sadism. The term "schadenfreude" is German for a person who takes pleasure from causing other people pain. It literally means "harm-joy"; "schaden"- harm and "freude"-joy. Whether she's under Manson's brainwashing or his oh so charming prison romance, she still believes in her 80 year-old sweetheart's innocence. Although he didn't exactly touch or inflict any sort of physical pain on someone, he enjoyed the emotional gratification from having the "Manson Family" carry out his every dirty deed. That's why the jury decided that he should carry the burden of all the murders. He wanted to trigger a race war, something that would never begin to happen. He believed that when he started this Apocalyptic race war, he and the Manson Family would take refuge in the desert, where they would come back to what was left of civilization unscathed and to take control. Unfortunately for little Charlie, this would never happen. Too bad Afton Burton is too naïve and "in love" to carry about what was left of Helter Skelter.. at least for now.

No More Helter Skelter?

Charles Manson has appeared to let his "Helter Skelter" scenario die down. His new found love is  "ATWA" (air, trees, water, animals), which is of same importance to his "wife" Afton Burton (environmentalist). For those not sure of what the Helter Skelter scenario is, it is Manson's theory that blacks and whites would fight an apocalyptic war over racial tension. "The core of this philosophy was a kind of Armageddon. Charlie preached that the black man was going to rise up and start killing the whites and turn the cities in to an inferno of racial revenge. The black man would win this war, but wouldn't be able to hang onto the power he seized because of innate inferiority."  Manson's plan was to recruit young white Americans to join him. He and the "Manson Family", his cult, would produce songs that would be a subtle hint to join them.
Charles Manson came up with the theory of "Helter Skelter" by hearing the Beatles song, which was named exactly that. While Charlie was in jail for trying to cash a fake US Treasury check, an inmate taught him how to play guitar, and from there on he became obsessed with the Beatles. After hearing the song, he also looked into The Book of Revelations, which helped him concoct the theory of Helter Skleter.
But, now that Charles Manson is a "changed man", does that mean he's switched to the good side, as Afton Burton thinks? I guess we will never know, but his love for her could be as true as saying that he was never a manipulator.

Rock, Paper, Hammer?

The Bosnian community in St. Louis is convinced that the murder of Bosnian refugee, Zemir Begic, was a hate crime. Not only that, but they think it's somehow connected to Ferguson. I don't knock the factor of it being a hate crime, but I do think that being bludgeoned with hammers is not connected to the shooting and death of Michael Brown. Sunday, 1:15am, Begic, his fiancee, and one other male passenger were driving the streets of St. Louis. As the story goes, a group of teenagers armed with hammers ran at the vehicle beating it with multiple times. Begic got out of his vehicle to protect his fiancee, and ended up being bludgeoned with hammers to the point of dying when they reached the hospital. I think it's disgusting that a group of teenagers, my age, would even think of killing people like this. It's insane and unpalatable that they could do this. I'm not quite sure if it was a targeted hate crime, because the attack was spontaneous on them and it didn't seem like it was executed in the way that made them target a certain race.

North Korea No Laughs?

We all know comedian actors, Seth Rogen and James Franco. Their upcoming movie, "The Interview" (which is coming to theaters December 25th), is about two talk show hosts who've been chosen to interview Kim Jong Un, with the CIA's intention of "taking him out". The movie itself is suppose to be a comical enjoyment, but it appears as though North Korea had not found it as even laughable. Sony Entertainment was hacked over the long Thanksgiving weekend by the "GOP" or the "Guardians of Peace"; this group leaked the movies "Fury", the remake of  "Annie", "To Write Love on Her Arms", "Mr. Turner", and "Still Alice". The FBI believes that this is North Korea's "cyber-attack" on the industry for creating a film about the demise of their leader. Personally, this is ridiculous. Entertainment studios consistently create movies about what's gone on in our history-past or present. There's "Red Dawn", about the invasion of America by North Korea, and you don't see us having a little hissy fit over the fact that there's a movie about a North Korean invasion. When it comes to movies like these, it's all about the content and the money. People will be creating movies that peak the interest of the audience."The Interview" is one of those movies. But to hack into an entertainment studio's computers and leak their movies is just ridiculous. I don't see any gain from that other than the very happy pirate-ers that download these movies. To be completely honest, the movie looks beyond funny and does not seem to harsh the image of Kim Jong Un. It's more of a comedy on the fact that the two television hosts have no idea how to complete a CIA mission.
