NEW! Leaked Video of Denver Alien in Window 06.01.08, no jok

Update: 6/25/08. The video is now removed. I hope you got a chance to see it. I thought it was interesting, but it didn’t strike me as very real when I saw it. Perhaps it was another “fake”? One thing to consider is that it is a common technique to hide real data by making fake versions. Eventually people will think the real one must be a fake too, even though they have never seen it, just because they have seen a few fake ones.  I say keep watching for the real alien video. With all the cameras around, there will be a real one sooner or later if the aliens are here.

Based on the window, this seems to be the supposed “real” video of an alien… but this one looks fake to me and the Jeff Peckman Video is supposed to be at least 3 minutes long. Some comments from youtube:

“If this was the official video, it wouldn’t have gotten as far as it did. It’s so blatantly fake, how it made the news is beyond me.” … “This is not real, though seeing the actual footage they’ve got under wraps would be nice.” … “Yes, it’s almost cetainly the same background, but if you notice, there are subtle differences in the size of the room, in comparison to the footage of what we’ve seen so far. Also, when the alien pulls his head down, the move looks too smooth for a grainy, nightvision camera. I think Tivoliu ripped the background from the news stories, and added this “alien” using a computer. I believe in extraterrestrial beings, but not in this video” … “This video is not the real thing. The actual video hasn’t been released so save your conclusions until the real one at least is shown to us.” … “This isn’t the real one, anyone calling stan romaneks video a fake as of now are ignorant, it hasn’t been released or leaked yet.”

The end game is on.

I believe most people follow the strongest leaders, not the best ideas. As a group, we cling to old ways. This is why, even though it does not have to be so, that I don’t expect the economy to recover for 8 to 10 years. With major changes we could have a great world with clean energy, but we aren’t willing to change. We aren’t flexible enough in spirit.

We will switch to coal, and people will get sick. China, Russia and the EU will want the oil in Canada and Venezuela, so will we. I expect war over the remaining oil. Because oil means food and water.

• There’s a very good chance claimed OPEC reserves are exaggerated.
• World production stopped increasing in late 2004.
• Decline rates of existing production are very high
• Hubbert Linearization points to peak oil
• At least one major oil company is warning us
• The price of oil keeps going up.
• There is no evidence of Saudi spare capacity
• There are geopolitical and climatic risks to the existing production level

I might move. I saw Blue State last night about a blogger who moves to Canada.

A La Palma doctor was arrested Monday evening after allegedly threatening another motorist with a tire iron after the man cut in line at a Costco gas station.

Nobody was injured in the incident, KNBC’s Laurel Erickson reported.

Reyes told Erickson the incident happened while waiting in line for gas at the Costco located at 5401 Katella Ave., at about 5:40 p.m. Monday.The woman in line ahead of Reyes asked him to move his car back, so she could remove her vehicle from the line.Reyes said he did, and that’s when another vehicle pulled in front of him, taking his spot.

“The guy in the other line, moved and cut me off,” Reyes said.Reyes said he got out of his vehicle and told the male driver he needed to return his vehicle to his former line and that cutting in front of him was “impolite.””His door opened. He grabbed my shirt and he said the F word. He showed me the finger in my face, and he told me, ‘You back off, or I’ll kill you,’” Reyes said.”So I went back to my car and grabbed my tire iron. I told him, ‘Sir, you have to go back to your line,’” Reyes said.Reyes said that the man then closed his car windows and called the police.”He said, ‘I’m going to call the police.’ And I told him, ‘Ya, go call the police, but you have to go back to your line,’” Reyes said.

Reyes added, “I have to protect myself, so I had to get something to protect myself — so that’s what happened.”Reyes said being arrested in front of so many people was embarrassing.”I feel so bad. Given another chance, I’m not going to do that,” Reyes said.Reyes apologized for the incident. – knbc

This is only the beginning. Things are going to get a lot worse.

Plane abandoned at Hanoi airport

Vietnamese authorities say they are mystified as to who owns a Boeing 727 which has been abandoned at Hanoi’s Noi Bai airport.

The plane was flown in from Siem Reap in neighbouring Cambodia in late 2007 and has been unclaimed ever since.

An airport official told the BBC that they believe the owners could be an airline based in Cambodia.

The official said that if it remains unclaimed, the plane will have to be sent for scrap.

The plane has a Cambodian flag on its fuselage and is emblazoned with the name Air Dream, but the authorities say they have no information about the airline.

Earlier, one security official at Noi Bai airport told the BBC’s Vietnamese Service that the plane belongs to bankrupt budget Cambodian airline Royal Khmer, but this is not certain.

Permission was originally given for the plane to remain at the airport while essential maintenance was carried out but these repairs have not been done.

Online newspaper VietnamNet reported that the owners could be unable or unwilling to pay the required airport parking fees. – bbc

Be the lone voice.

Committees annoy me. One or two outspoken individuals can cause an entire group to reach incorrect conclusions. If you are the lone voice, the person who forms and expresses views based on an objective examination of available data, I salute you.

In behavioral science, there is a well-documented propensity for small committees to drift toward “extreme” decisions, that is, a group of individuals acting as a committee often makes a decision that none of the individuals acting alone would make, given the same information. There seems to be a number of reasons for this tendency….

Ignoring the Lone Voice. Often small groups do not properly take into account the most relevant expertise in the room. As reported in The New York Times on June 28, 2005, Dr. Garold Stasser at Miami University of Ohio recently found that most small groups tend to make decisions based on the information all members share about a topic, overlooking important facts that one or several people may know but the others do not. A solitary opinion is often taken lightly or ignored in the flow of debate within the group. Yet management committees are usually looking for creative, out-of-the-box strategies that are not likely to be foremost in most committee members’ thinking. Ralph Cordiner, the former chairman of General Electric, once said: “If you can name one great decision that was made by committee, I will find you the one person who had the lonely insight–that solved the problem and was the basis for that decision.” One of the things that leadership can do is make an extra effort to identify the person in the group who has the greatest expertise relating to the issues at hand, whether it is technology or outplacement, and insure that every opinion is heard. – link
