Thyroids and the death of a parent

I didn’t know something was wrong. It was hidden in plain sight under a whole lot of other shit and vague complaints but when I finally had a place to feel at rest and safe the exhaustion just did not go away an after months of plodding on I went to the doctor, urged to do so by the local chemist and what a lucky thing it was too.

My thyroid was not functioning properly, hence my exhaustion .

Amazing how the dysfunction of such a small gland can make you feel like death warmed over and how devastating the effect can be in your life. And more poignantly how myopic your view of life becomes. All of a sudden your daily bodily functions become the major focus of you life and everything else disappears to the periphery of your existence.

I won’t go into details (generally to much information I reckon) but suffice to say that this blog has suffered as a consequence. After three years of joyfully reading more than a hundred newspapers a day to glean the news we should be told rather than the crap we are getting served in the mainstream media, I could no longer be bothered. Getting warm was much more of an issue for example.

Not only that but the inevitable and much dreaded news reached me from Europe that my mother had passed away and even if my relationship with her left a lot to be desired, the resulting grief added to my physical woes.

However after three weeks of iodine and other mineral supplements (I hope to still be able to go with the more holistic approach) and the mourning of opportunities lost it seems life is returning to these old bones once again and I hope that with progress I will be able to resume my passion in bringing news and opinions to you so that I might inform you once again of things that go bump in the night (or the day as the case may be)

The first Guillotine award goes to Lindsey Lohan

I’ve been thinking a lot about this for a while now and I thought today would be as good a day as any to introduce this brand spanking new award: the Guillotine award.

Today the first time this award is awarded it goes to Lindsey Lohan not because I think she is a particularly bad person or has done something wildly bad in order to deserve this but mostly to discourage other bimbo’s and time wasters to follow in her footsteps and because I really feel that she is one hell of a waste of time and space. Goodriddens to Lindsey Lohan and her entire retinue of wastrels and cohorts

Breaking news: Undetermined anomalies at the BP well and seepage around the well.

I wrote last week that this blog would deal with news around the BP oil gusher. The day after my announcement BP closed the well. Or so we were told. This stuck me as wildly optimistic but I choose to give it the benefit of the doubt and waited.

I did not have to wait long. In the last couple of weeks you know, news had been coming out about seepage other cracks in the surface and one of the reasons for BP not to want to close the well on previous occasions was the fear that the sea floor would just blow out and release not just huge amounts of oil bit also methane into the sea and into like it or not into the atmosphere.

While I am sure that the MSM will put a positive spin on it what is now clear is that there are problems with the well cap and that in the area around the well there are several cracks releasing both oil and methane into the ocean.

Awesome, Blog and Facebook connected

Yes, now I can keep my blog going and connect to facebook at the same time. Awesome.

Shell Oil ex-CEO: Industry experts “feel the casing must have been damaged”; Losing the casing “like having a volcano on the bottom of the sea”

I think the fundamental issue… is there are serious concerns about the integrity of the casing that is the well itself.

And that by putting the cap on and doing the stress tests… that the integrity of the steel is insufficient to hold the pressure of the well.

And if you lose the casing its game over.

It’s like having a volcano on the bottom of the sea.

If you lose the casing and oil starts coming up on the outside of the casing you cant stop it.

There’s nothing you can do that would stop it…other than implode the well.

There are many in the industry that feel the casing must have been damaged because of the power of that well, the pressure of that reservoir.

It seems they are closing the cap but how about the sea floor

This morning Stuff.co.nz announced there had been a setback to the attempt of closing the cap over the gushing oil spill. Here is the link as it links now to the updated article. http://www.stuff.co.nz/world/americas/3920770/Gulf-oil-capping-in-limbo-after-setback.

The setback it was announced was the fact that for fear of compounding the disaster they were “overly careful” with closing the gushing monster.

Huh? Gushing pipe + cap = no more gushing right?

Wrong.

Gushing the pipe may be but that is not the only thing they are scared of. For example what is it that could be compounding the problem you ask? How about a rupture in the sea floor? Making the gushing not from a localised human made tube but from a huge area of nature made irreparable damaged sea floor more than 1.5 km deep. Hence the care they are taking with the closing of the cap.

Here is a video breaking the news that the sea floor might be set to erupt.

If that happens we are dead. It’s that simple and God do I hope they are wrong.

I tried to walk away from this I honestly did: the Oil spill is an extinction event.

!!!This blog for the time being will be dedicated to the oil spill in in the gulf of Mexico!!!

For the latest see under this post.

For the last two months we have been watching the events around disastrous oil spill in the gulf of Mexico unfold. Most of us with the usual “Ooh oops that will hurt IF you live over there attitude”.

Only a few people spoke of the worst case scenario and as I was so over being a Cassandra I literally shut down my blogs and refused to post about the ever increasing signals that this disaster could truly be an extinction event but it turns out the chances are (and here is me being very, very cautious and understated) that it is.

Here is how it looks from Pensacola beach:

Interesting experiment showing why the official NIST rapport is nonsense

Australia’s political coup leaders and their big business connections

The leaders of the political coup that last month removed Labor Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and installed his former deputy, Julia Gillard, were not just “faceless numbers men”, as sections of the media have insisted. Nor can the role of Rudd’s dispatchers – including Bill Shorten, Mark Arbib, David Feeney, Paul Howes and Gary Gray – be explained by the fact that, in the main, they are representatives of Labor’s so-called right-wing Centre Unity faction. Rather, the critical point is the direct connection of these Labor “heavies” to big business, especially the mining industry. Their personal histories reveal a seamless movement between the Labor machine, including the unions, and the boardrooms of Australia’s largest companies.

In toppling Rudd so swiftly – the coup was executed within the space of just 15 hours – Labor’s faction bosses were simply taking action on behalf of the mining chiefs and other corporate executives, and their opposition to Rudd’s proposed 40 percent resource super-profits tax (RSPT). That the faction bosses felt no need to argue their case within the ranks of the party or the trade unions simply underscores the fact that the working class is not a factor in the machinations of the Labor bureaucracy.

Had a break, screwed up my other blog, I’m back.

Bloody hell, tried to update my other blog with wordpress no 3 and screwed it up completely. I have to start from scratch. I wasn’t happy with the lay out so it isn’t much of a problem but damn how stupid can you get.

I will be posting on this blog until things are set up again because even though I’m kind of sick of being the bad news guru and getting slack for it I think that it is kind of important to bring reality related news to Kiwiland and this blog is still available to me.

So while I repair my other blog you can find whatever is really going on in the world over here.
