They're Watching. Trust No One

It's the turn of another Armstrong to be in the news now. It's all about Neil this time, not Lance.

Sadly, the man who didn't want to be an icon died today at the age of 82.

Everyone and their dog will be writing a huge obituary for Neil Armstrong about moon walking, NASA, the one step thing and his heart by-pass surgery. But I reckon if you're reading my blog, you're looking for something different.


Ok, Neil Armstrong is way more famous for the small step/giant leap statement that he came out with in 1969 when he went to the moon with some other guys.

I realise that sounds very flippant and unemotional but I wasn't there to experience it. There are many huge world events that I can recall with emotion, wonderment and awe, like the Berlin Wall coming down, Nelson Mandela being released from prison and the wedding of Charles and Diana, (well I was very young and impressionable).

So, without further ado.....

"We have no proof, But if we extrapolate, based on the best information we have available to us, we have to come to the conclusion that ... other life probably exists out there and perhaps in many places." yeah, this comes from the one and only Neil Armstrong.

But why is this quote from 1999 so important?

Quite simply because it's not the only time that anyone from NASA has hinted at coverups regarding aliens. I cannot promise that I won't use any 'X Files' quotes, but I will try not to go all Fox Mulder on you.

The Internet is FULL of conspiracy theories regarding aliens and everything to do with them. There are books, tv series, films and blogs about what has been seen, found, crashed and abducted.

Perhaps the most interesting (that I've found) is from a book by Jon King called 'Cosmic Top Secret'

"Through the crackle and pop of what many believe was a deliberately contrived poor-quality broadcast, Armstrong was heard to say he could see a ‘light’ on the rim of a nearby crater. Mission Control responded with a request for more information, following which the transmission went dead.


For a full two minutes nothing was heard…

Or was it? According to former NASA employee, Otto Binder, who worked on the Apollo program, US radio hams picked up the following conversation, which was alleged to have taken place during the transmission black-out.

Neil Armstrong: ‘What was it? What the hell was it? That’s all I want to know…’

Mission Control: ‘What’s there? … [garbled transmission] … Mission Control calling Apollo Eleven…’

Neil Armstrong: ‘These babies are huge, sir … enormous. Oh, God … you wouldn’t believe it! I’m telling you there are other spacecraft out there, lined up on the far side of the crater edge. They’re on the moon watching us…’

Though NASA has always denied the authenticity of the transmission, former NASA technician, Maurice Chatelain, revealed otherwise.

‘The encounter was common knowledge in NASA,’ he said in 1979. ‘But nobody has talked about it until now.’

Chatelain also confirmed radio communications were interrupted several times during the Apollo 11 mission ‘in order to keep the truth from the public’."

Is it important to point out the author's name is Jon King and not Jo King, and he has written books about a Princess Diana conspiracy theory too?

Maybe not, but you know how I like to share as much information as possible with you.

Seems like Mike Collins may have been the lucky one after all eh? Never mind guys......I'm sure the truth is out there!

Safe as Houses against those Zombies

By now I really hope that I don’t need to tell you about my weird love of the un-dead. You know like vampires, zombies, revenants, ghouls, the usual sort of stuff for a girlie to be fascinated with.


It isn’t a secret that when the big ‘awakening’ happens I’m going to re-train for a career in necromancy. Realistically, the hours and pay will be better and I wouldn’t have to get up so early in the morning, thus reducing childcare costs. Bonus!

When I heard of the competition run by http://zombiesafehouse.wordpress.com/ I knew that I had to find out more. Amazingly I found out about it via ‘The Economist’ (who says I read trashy stuff eh?) Anyway, Zombie Safe House hosts a competition to design, well, a zombie proof house.

Cool!

I won’t lie to you, it is something that has crossed my mind, you know, survival and that, learning how to make arrows to shoot your undead friends and family, whether or not a zombie virus would affect your pets or could I train my dog to ward off attacks? (Mira Grant's Feed or Max Brooks' World War Z) Things like, how long would it be until electricity ran out & I couldn’t charge my phone…… No idea who I'd call anyway.

I was going to say that the likelihood of a zombie apocalypse is virtually non-existent, but is it really so hard to believe that something, somewhere could threaten the global population?

Lets face it many people completely pooed their pants (as my son would say) over Swine Flu and Avian Flu. However I’m meaning things like global warming, an asteroid hitting the planet, or the possibility of the infamous La Palma Tsunami, you know the sort of thing. Whether that involves Gwyneth Paltrow sneezing or Simon Pegg getting rid of his record collection, who can tell?

Major events that would wipe out a huge chunk of the worlds population that we secretly wouldn’t mind cause it would save us all going into work on Monday and bring about a new, more exciting lifestyle. (If your name is Chuck Norris)

I realise that architects could probably utilise their time a bit better than designing homes for a zombie apocalypse competition but lets be honest, surely architects cant be as dull as accountants? Luckily, there are a few mildly dysfunctional people out there who are looking out for us and designing houses and homes so that when the proverbial hits the fan, we can all be smiley happy people.

But please, can someone make sure that I lift my inhaler so that I can run away from the hoards quicker?

Ta.

Trampire? Nah. Not my Mate Kristen




I do try not to write rubbish about rubbish. Sometimes though I actually can't help it, the temptation is too much and I HAVE to do it.

Yeah, that's right, no high brow topic about something of international interest, no. I'm writing about K-Stew and R-Patz and the alleged indiscretion of Kristen and the nobody with the model wife.

Now, I don't particularly like Kristen Stewart as an actress, in fact, I'm not even sure I like her as a person (from what I've read anyway, though Kristen, if you want to hang with me, let me know and I'll we can arrange something for my days off work, we can see if we can be mates).



There is something about a 22 being old being called a slut, tramp, home wrecker and (my own favourite) trampire that doesn't seem quite right. Kristen has been secretive about every relationship she has had, even the R-Patz one, so why should she be outrageously open about this indiscretion?

Weird eh? Especially when unknown director type person is looking at the camera. They only appear to kiss once and it doesn't look that particularly passionate.

Was this an affair or Kristen looking to someone older for comfort, advice, friendship.......a shoulder to cry on?

You see, assuming that the Kristen does have a relationship with R-Patz and it's not a work of twilight fiction, young Bob has (according to many sources) been putting it about with many other women.

Oh yeah.......many.


We have mentions of Megan Fox, Lindsay Lohan, Australian reality tv stars, burlesque dancers and even co-stars including Nikki Reed, Ashley Greene and Emillie de Ravin (I know her from watching Once Upon a Time) to name a few.

So had maybe Kristen had enough? Was it maybe time for her to look to someone else for some attention when Robert was in the KitKat fetish club in Berlin?

Shame really it had to be Rupert Sanders, some dude I had never heard of previous to his dalliance with K-Stew, sure he had won some awards for adverts but really? Who the hell is he?

He is the husband of a very pretty Vogue model called Liberty Ross. Now ok, in some of the photos from premiers of 'Snow White and the Huntsman' she looks a bit on the hard side, but in the rest of the photos I've seen she looks stunning.


I know that looks aren't everything, Naomi Campbell is a prime example of that, but its obvious that Liberty Ross hasn't fallen from the ugly tree.

As far as I'm concerned, she is the only innocent here.

Can I blame a 22 year old for making a mistake? No I can't, I'm not even sure she was sexually involved with Rupert Sanders judging by the pictures, emotionally maybe.

I think it's wrong to single out Kristen Stewart for abuse, I think that it's more a case of her having trusted the wrong person. But hey Kristen, of you fancy a chat over a cuppa and a carrot cake, you are more than welcome to my house.
