“Anonymous”

It seems there is a new type of terrorist on the terrain, an “E” terrorist. Thats right, “E” for electric. Also pertaining to the internet. The government is currently on alert for this group of “Robin Hoods”. Here is how FOX NEWS is reporting is…

 

Hackers aligned with the global cyber-collective known as Anonymous have claimed responsibility for taking down at least six prominent websites, including those of the US Department of Justice and Universal Music Group, in retaliation for charges levied earlier Thursday against content-sharing site Megaupload.com.

Both Universalmusic.com and Justice.gov crashed Thursday afternoon and remained down as of 6:50pm ET.

The group also said it brought down the websites of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), the US Copyright Office and the Utah Chiefs of Police Association.

As of 6:50pm ET, only the MPAA website remained functional. The RIAA site and the Copyright Office sites were both down, while the Utah Chiefs of Police site had been altered to show the logo for Megaupload.com.

The group also threatened that the FBI’s website would be hacked next.

“Word has it that FBI.gov is next to go down… will report when it is,” a Twitter account affiliated with the group said.

The account, under the name @YourAnonNews identifies itself on Twitter as the infamous hacker collective, saying “We are Anonymous, We are legion, We never forgive, We never forget, Expect us.”

Earlier Thursday, the FBI shut down Megaupload.com and charged the site’s founders and five others with internet piracy crimes for running “an international organized criminal enterprise.”

“The government takes down Megaupload? 15 minutes later Anonymous takes down government & record label sites,” the group wrote earlier Thursday.

“Megaupload was taken down w/out SOPA being law. Now imagine what will happen if it passes. The Internet as we know it will end. FIGHT BACK,” the group added, in a reference to the ongoing battle in Congress over the controversial Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA).

The proposed legislation would crack down on the online sharing of pirated copies of music, movies and other material.

Investigators said there was no connection between arrests in their two-year investigation of Megaupload.com and the political firestorm that erupted this week over the pending vote on SOPA, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Sunday Morning

Now you may be looking at the title of this article and may be thinking……PRAISE THE LORD!! Thats cool……but that’s not really what I had in mind. Im thinking more like Saturday night turned Sunday morning. Have you ever been in a place and randomly meet someone who treats you more courteous than your fellow church members? If you said yes to that question that is because your fellow church members are full of shit (no pun intended). Not saying that all church folk are fake but they damn sho’ ain’t all real. Now from my understanding, Jesus (from the bible) sad love thy neighbor, or maybe that was GOD, regardless you get it.  You can meet some of the coolest people from all walks of life. Now I can’t say that I approve all walks of life but I can relate to anyone even a billionaire (been there done that)(words in previous parenthesis are not meant to be a cliche’). Bottom line people are people, even if they are aliens from far away galaxies. Beer represents a type of universal language. There are very few cultures who do not socially drink. True alcohol could lead to a bad situation; true that alcohol could have you balled up in between the toilet and the bath tub, but damn it it was fun! And yes too much will kill you but if you don’t pay attention you will miss the point. People at a bars are normally sociable even if you come from the hood and you stumble into O’Riley’s on Covington highway. There is always going to be an asshole n the midst no matter where you come from. How come you can go to the side of town where tattooed bikers and and weirdos can treat people like gold but you go to a place for help and people could treat you like shit droppings from an impaired pelican on heroin. Fuck ‘em none the less. And yes while I may not curse in my normal literary works (songs and articles) If try to use tom foolery as you tool around me you may receive a serious tongue lashing from a word smith with a degree in DIRTY. Any who, You can learn from the low lives in this world, BE COOL you uptight stick in the booty ass mofos. Meet a new person…..I didn’t make a new friend but meet someone and and talk to them to see where they coming from and and so they can see where you are coming from. You’d be surprised! Any way I gotta go “Mo Beer To The Booth Please!”. Ya’ll be super easy

These Hoes “Drive” Me Crazy

From the region of the world that brought you..”Stone that bitch! She cheated on me!” Brings you……*drum roll*…….”HELL NAW SHE AINT DRIVE”N…THAT WOULD MAKE YOU A WHORE!!” Yes the part of the world where the Bible and Koran happened….still happens that way. Apparently in Saudi Arabia there is a lot of turmoil surrounding law changes that would threaten tradition. Women in Saudi Arabia believe that if women can drive cars then they would lose their virginity…………. yea… virginity. True the law is that you must marry a virgin but unless it is illegal for women to use the phone, then they can call for a ride if a young man wants to deflower her. I think its insecurity when you make laws like that but on the other hand Im from “The Land of Whores” so what do I know?Now don’t get me wrong, If you could stone a chick for cheating, I might throw a couple rocks myself, but when the land of thou shall not kill bends the rules I get confused. True enough reports say that King Abdullah is trying to change the law and even give women the right to vote, but the Shura Council, for lack of a better phrase, ain’t wit it! This sounds like a case of “The old folks” getting their way. Regardless of it all, I hope they come to a peaceful resolution to this whole fiasco. P.S. If my girlfriend, mother, or sisters couldn’t drive I would have been screwed many moons ago. Till then mofos….im gone.

State Of The Union

Greetings to all in the living land of Twice. I am your faithful leader and will be conducting tonight address. What do we really know about home? Have you ever found a stash of your dad’s pornos or found out your mom used to pose nude? Well apparently nothing is different in the world we live. Now if you thought I was going to complain about our government and how our president was incompetent, then you are wrong…….but….. I will give you a clear snap shot on the world (political events wont be included). The first topic is strangers. Strangers, or friends you haven’t met depending on your view. If you grew up like me (happy go lucky but in a poverty stricken neighborhood) then you find yourself in a weird place a lot. But this place is excellent for viewing and observing. You find yourself extending your friendship to people who don’t deserve it often. You are good to people and they are terrible to you; and sure you are terrible to a few people but it wont become your theme music. You may feel depressed because what you feel inside doesn’t match what you see. You feel people should use honor and respect in all aspects of life but you find that people lie and cheat at times when they don’t have to. Now you might say “why is it this way” or “people are messed up” but if can remember the famous Eddie Murphy movie “Trading Places” in which two rich men placed a bet about a ruffian they encountered. The ruffian was taken of the street to a mansion. There he was told that this was his home and that he owned everything in it. At that point he literally stole from himself. That showed a lack of trust that was developed from a life time of conditions. Those same two men where portrayed as homeless men in “Coming To America”. now that brings me to the phrase “Circle of Life” and no i didn’t smoke some kush and watch The Lion King but i am referring to two age old prases: “What goes around comes around” and “there is nothing new under the sun”.Both are emphatically true. But what is missing is that we all create the patterns in which we endure. People who create situations never understand how those situations can be imposed upon them. The result is a world full of people who don’t trust each other. With fear being the leading emotion, it is rare that people do the “right thing”. People who actually do the right thing are met with a bombardment of feelings that insist that they are out of place and should “doest as the Roman doest”. This creates a pattern in which people eventually feel comfortable doing the wrong thing….. For instance, i am sitting in a bar right now full of white people. A black man sat at the bar and subconsciously I have watched him sine he arrived. Checking for signs of things I have seen in the past. That is something that happens automatically in my brain to protect my physical well being. Now this guy may be a guy just like me, but before we have even spoke, there is some division due to fear. There can’t ever be any uniting while there is division. I wont pummel you with words this evening, but I implore you to do some local research for yourself. Go out and people watch…….you will soon see. Peace be unto you all.

OCCUPY …..EVERYTHING?

As the recent months have held global unrest, the momentum has not slowed down. There are more people joining these occupy protests everyday. Some unclear, some headstrong, but all occupying. The streets are filled with people angry with their governments financial institutions. These people seem to no longer fear their police-uniformed opposition. Also with pictures and stories circulating about older women and young children being sprayed with pepper spray. Americans fear that their televisions will soon show the same depravity as other countries considered to be “3rd world”. With the decline of the U.S. currency this fearful vision may be truth sooner than later. But honestly, who wasn’t pissed when they found out that we as a country found gas barrels for cheaper but yet the prices climbed. Who wasn’t pissed when their $300,000 home’s value dropped through the basement. The bottom line is….people are tired. Some people don’t know why they are tired but they are. Social unrest to the point of riots all over the country let alone the world is expected. It has been known throughout history for people to over throw their governing body. In the shadow of recent activities like the middle eastern/african countries who all “took” their government back, people are ..lets say …getting ideas. When I was in the 3rd grade a teacher in social studies explained that if everyone in a country (or majority) break a law then that law has been changed. Its a psychological ride because the few control the many. Even in the slave days, the slaves WIDELY outnumber their whip-toting counterparts, yet very few revolted. Says alot, but i’ll let you figure out what it says exactly. This has been Mike Twice reporting live from…..the revolution. Back to you Amerika.

Life In a Nut Shell

Greetings to all in the living land of Twice. Today we are going to talk about the meaning of life. Some think that you have to create a scene to be remembered. Some think that you have to create a creation that all men will remember. I say yes to those, but not only those. My interpretation of this experience is more simplistic. “Treat others as you would like to be treated”. We’ve all heard this proverb only to take it for surface value. Treat others….. in order to “treat” others you would have to “know thyself” which is another proverb that may be over-heard yet under-stood (not to be confused with understood). In order to master your surroundings you must master yourself. In order to master yourself you must truly figure out who you are. You must lose your ego and soak up all the surrounding actions around you. If things constantly happen around you that are undesirable then the universe may be showing you something about yourself via “the annoying new kid”. OR, it may be showing you a situation that you don’t to be apart of. The purpose of it all is to learn and adjust accordingly. I wont preach and keep this long but pay attention……. This has been a purple crown 3rd alert good evening.

Heavy D

Imagine driving down the road from work while trying to weave through rush hour traffic and suddenly one of your favorite old school rap songs came on the radio. As the song fades, your usual fun loving, knee slapping radio personality rings in with a somber tone. “I’m sorry ladies and gentlemen,but Heavy D died today. The year was 1992 and I was still trying to master the phrase “diddly-diddly-diddly D” I can still remember seeing his videos with “The Boys” doing their hard to replicate dance moves. But today he died at age 44…….. He will be missed. To be honest, his one of the first to make me want to be apart of this craft.

“Occupy Wall Street” Becomes “Occupy World”

YouTube Preview Image

The “Occupy Wall Street” movement is spreading from Manhattan’s financial district to around the world.

What started as a small gathering weeks ago, that quickly spread around the nation, has now become an international affair.

Here at home people gathered in Palm Springs Saturday, voicing their concerns with the state of the country. About 300 protestors also came together in Riverside.

Demonstrations also took over streets, town halls, and just about any other place people could gather, in cities around the country.

Police say more than 70 people were arrested in New York City during demonstrations against corporate greed, including 45 in Times Square.

Thousands were already crowding the “crossroads of the world” on a busy Saturday night, when thousands of protesters flooded the sidewalks and plazas, creating a crowd control nightmare for police.

But the main focus Saturday centered on the now international attention the movement is receiving.

People in dozens of countries banned together, protesting against corporate greed, government cost-cutting and failed financial policies.

In Europe, where there was already anger over economic policies, and where there had already been violent reactions to austerity measures, the protest found armies of supporters.

In London, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange addressed a crowd in front of Saint Paul’s Cathedral.

Things turned into a riot in Rome, where some demonstrators began setting fires to vehicles and smashing windows.

Police responded with tear gas and water cannons.

Many demonstrators, and many Romans who are sympathetic to the “Occupy Rome” cause, say they are shocked by the violence.

What’s next for this outbreak of protests is anyone’s guess

Introducing Elenin

Since the discovery of comet Elenin in December 2010, the faint,icy object has sparked a frenzy of speculation about its approach to the inner solar system over the next few months. That speculation has prompted many to send questions to NASA.

On Tuesday (Aug. 16), NASA released a list of the most popular questions (and answers) from the public over the arrival of comet Elenin in the inner solar system. The comet will fly closest to Earth in October, but poses no threat to Earth, the space agency said.

This full NASA-provided Q & A reviews the most-asked questions about comet Elenin received by NASA. The questions were submitted over several months and are answered by astronomer Don Yeomans of NASA’s Near-Earth Object Program Office at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., and David Morrison of the NASA Astrobiology Institute at the NASA Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, Calif.

When will Comet Elenin come closest to the Earth and appear the brightest?

Comet Elenin should be at its brightest shortly before the time of its closest approach to Earth on Oct. 16, 2011. At its closest point, it will be 22 million miles (35 million kilometers) from us.

Will Comet Elenin come close to the Earth or between the Earth and the moon?

Comet Elenin will not come closer to Earth than 22 million miles (35 million kilometers). That’s more than 90 times the distance to the moon. [Video: End Of Days In 2012? NASA Says No]

Can this comet influence us from where it is, or where it will be in the future? Can this celestial object cause shifting of the tides or even tectonic plates here on Earth?

There have been incorrect speculations on the Internet that alignments of comet Elenin with other celestial bodies could cause consequences for Earth and external forces could cause comet Elenin to come closer. “Any approximate alignments of comet Elenin with other celestial bodies are meaningless, and the comet will not encounter any dark bodies that could perturb its orbit, nor will it influence us in any way here on Earth,” said Don Yeomans, a scientist at NASA JPL.

“Comet Elenin will not only be far away, it is also on the small side for comets,” said Yeomans. “And comets are not the most densely-packed objects out there. They usually have the density of something akin to loosely packed icy dirt.

“So you’ve got a modest-sized icy dirtball that is getting no closer than 35 million kilometers [about 22 million miles)," said Yeomans. "It will have an immeasurably miniscule influence on our planet. By comparison, my subcompact automobile exerts a greater influence on the ocean's tides than comet Elenin ever will."

Big Sean And T. I. Chain Gang

Well damn they are back at it. This makes me a bit nervous. These days it seems that being a dope emcee is synonymous with being a felon. This week the focus is on two of the most popular in the game. Here is how thatshiphop.com is reporting it

BIG SEAN: Arraigned in Sexual Abuse Case

Big Sean was arraigned in a Lewiston, New York court Tuesday after being charged with sexual abuse by a 17-year-old female fan. Sean and his friend Willie Hansbro are accused of third-degree sexual abuse, forcible touching and second-degree unlawful imprisonment.

A grand jury has been scheduled, but for now, District Attorney Holly Sloma has requested a gag order because the alleged victim is underage. Their next court date is scheduled for October 11th. –Rahim Wright

It looks like the reason T.I. was shipped back to jail had to do with business.Officials are saying that Tip’s bus trip to the halfway house was out of line because he brought “unauthorized” people on the bus, namely his manager and two VH1 producers.

Prison officials are making this claim because Tip announced his new reality show and a new book the day of his release. The VH1 folks and T.I.’s management claim they weren’t talking business on the bus, but prison officials don’t believe them.

The Kang will now be released on the 30th of this month. –Rahim Wright
