Order more tinfoil.
It has been a very odd morning. Just from poking around some of my usual haunts online, and following a link here and there, I've come across some weird weird stuff. There was The Tick fanboi site. And a mock Werner Herzog blog. But if you want a good long look into the face of Christian paranoia & insanity, check out this YouTube clip: Guillotine and FEMA concentration camps. That there is some pharmaceutical-grade crazy, complete with synthetic voice and scary pictures of Obama as a Hitler/Antichrist mashup.
Is it too early to start drinking? I mean, it's almost noon . . .

You want Christian paranoia
You want Christian paranoia and insanity just listen to Alex Jones, if you can get passed his top of his lungs screaming temper tantrum about everything and anything three or four times in a half hour.
Or his screaming tirades against callers who ask where they can find a copy of all the official government documents he claims to have.
Werner Herzblog
I thought that Werner Herzog site was funny as hell. He earned my eternal disdain with his hit-piece bear-demonizing documentary "Grizzly Man," and the opaquely bumbling artsy pomposity of the posts perfectly matches his delivery in Grizzly Man.
The FEMA thing ... whoa. "President Obama Orders PROJECT ENDGAME to Begin -- 775,000 Americans Targeted for Arrest!"
"President Obama secretly ordered the immediate opening of America's vast gulag of concentration camps ..."
And that Steven Hawking computer voice is just funky-scary weird. The guy doing it KNOWS that he's goading stupid people into panic and violence, and doesn't want to be identified.
I think we're getting to the point where some of these people are shouting fire in a crowded theater. To me, this is so psycho-fascist-paranoid it's crossed over into gutting the very principles that make its expression possible.
Here's the bio of the guy who uploaded the video:
--------------------
I love God. I am a Christian and I know as in right now He is the Only ONE that can get us out of the deep we are in now. I am awaiting His second coming.
I believe the Bible is THE ONLY SOURCE of any question, idea, or anything else a person may have. It is the only Book that millions of people hate, while simultaneously million others love. I am here to tell you that Jesus Christ is coming back again very soon, but before He can do that some things have to happen (and already happening). These things were written in the Bible so they will happen.
The U.S. Government is not what it seems. It is vile. It is infested with freemasons, the illuminati, and many more evil parties with the sole purpose of depopulation of the planet.
I am here to expose those murderous moguls.
I will upload more videos whenever I have time. With college, work, and so much things going on I dont have time right, but I will squeeze every second to get the message out.
I am the messenger.

Wait ... this guy is going to COLLEGE??! Holy shit.
He earned my eternal disdain
I watched that film and I didn't once think of it as a demonizing bears. The bears were doing what bears do, it's was the self-styled bear naturalist that was delusional and put himself into a situation that he shouldn't have been in.
I honestly didn't expect to like the film but it was an interesting peek into the mind of a individual with a very odd worldview. Kind of like a real life Fitzcarraldo.
Sigh.
Herzog DID did demonize the bears. At one point, he said something like (not an exact quote) "When I look into their eyes, I cannot see anything but a chilling malevolence." Not only was it not fair to bears, it was a weird personal editorial statement from a man making a documentary at least partly about nature.
As to that self-styled naturalist, one reason you think of him that way is because Herzog's entire documentary was aimed at painting Treadwell, and every person around him, with the one exception of the bush pilot Willy Fulton, as loony. It was, plain and simple, a hit piece. He defined Treadwell's entire life by the moment and the manner of his death, and he obscured -- stupidly, in my opinion (but then he WAS pandering to an audience hungry for a delicious horror story about deadly, murderous grizzlies) -- something much more important:
Treadwell lived within spitting distance of grizzlies -- giant, man-eating, biker-on-angel-dust carnivorous killers -- for 12 summers, and never once got hurt. And he did it because he knew ... something.
What the hell was it he knew? What was it that every hiker should know, every person who lives in bear country should know? How do you walk through, camp in, eat and sleep and bathe in a terrain filled with grizzlies for 580-something days and not get attacked?
Thanks to Werner Herzog, we'll never find that out. Because Tim Treadwell was a crazy-ass, loopy, "self-styled naturalist."
In my opinion, Herzog is a greasy little putz who made money by sensationalizing somebody else's death.
But then I hear he has a terrific new documentary about pitchblende, and that cancer-riddled crazy bitch Marie Curie.
actually...
Actually by opinion of Treadwell was established prior to the film. I'd read articles about him over the years and yes, I think he was a loon. Someone who just decides that they're going to "protect" bears by going and living with them is a little off. All he accomplished was the desensitization of some bears the presence of humans. That is never a good thing to do to wild animals.
What kind of data did he contribute from his "research" that would do anything for the bears? Getting eaten by bears who had not gotten used to his presence is not all that unexpected, and a little sad for everyone involved.
Sad thing is,
Sad thing is, there are people who believe him. And not a small number of people, either. Show that to my mother-in-law, and she'd be eyes-wide, telling everyone about it. She thinks Obama is a Muslim and the antichrist.
Hopeully.
Hopefully, just via online courses when they allow him computer access at the treatment facility where he is being kept. 'Cuz he's nuts.
