What a day ! What a day ! The Jackson verdict has arrived !
This week's edition of News Watch was actually ready to roll out this afternoon. And then, like a furtive shadow dog, the Jackson Verdict arrives, causing this week's NW to be put on the backburner until the jury's decision is announced.
Once you are sick of MJ coverage, stop over @ binnallofamerica.com and take a gander @ the C2C 911 Roundtable Preview, complete with collectible souvenir poster. If you haven't read the Preview come Thursday, you'll be going into the big event quite blind.
If you're dying to hear the final Jackson Schmackson (till next week's post-MJ trial thoughts, probably in editorial form), skip on down to the special Jackson Schmackson Verdict graphic.
I've heard of Killer Klowns but never a killer cow. I always assumed they were a docile bunch. Then again, I never tried urinating in front of one. Yes, it seems that is what will drive a cow to kill.
As I've been wont to say, "only in Nigeria",
The horned African cow, which was wandering stray in the Ojo district of Nigeria's biggest city Lagos, also injured several bystanders after killing the man.
2>NASA Sends Up Balloon Carrying Telescope (AP via myway.com)
For once my favorite punching bag has decided to do something sensible. Seeing as they have failed miserably at sending up rockets using any sort of combustible engine, they're now kicking it old school by launching telescopes via hot air balloon.
How sad. How sad that a once great organization that literally put a man on the moon is now devolving in such great proportions. I expect the blockbuster announcement that the Earth is flat to come any day now.
The launch is the first in a series of giant balloons which NASA has organized to transport bulky payloads - such as astronomical telescopes - used in astrophysical experiments and research on cosmic radiation.
At first my eyes lit up, thinking I was about to read a diatribe from Vince McMahon on the dangers of illegal whale poaching. But, no, it was merely that "other" WWF, you know, the shadowy organization known only as The World Wildlife Fund. They claim that Japan is not really killing loads of whales for science, but for dinner. No word yet from John "The Shark" Tenta.
I'm not sure what Japan has to fear from the WWF. They seem like a neutered bunch of whiners who are only a few notches above PETA as far as insanity goes. If some of the things I've heard about the WWF from David Icke's book are true, then there's not much I want to hear from them.
Another reason why I hate cats. I'm shocked that Art Bell did not read this story, considering his love of both cats and technology. Who knew that cats possessed a Unibomber-like attitude towards modern technology. Then again, they were considered gods in Egypt.
There is no intention behind having 2 urinating stories in this week's NW, just coincidence. I hope.
"If you have a cat, or a dog for that matter, be careful where they urinate," Oyabu said. "Especially keep them away from electrical appliances and wires."
5>A great haircut? At $624, it had better be (msnbc.com)
You ever look in the "lifestyle" section ? Awful, awful, awful. Here's a story about how some fancy schmancy folks pay boat loads of cash to have someone fawn over their precious hair. Take a look at the excerpt to see how over-the-top it gets.
Now, I'll admit that I am a vain bastard, always have been. I refuse to go to a "barber shop". Sorry, that's just me. But, anything over a $20 haircut is where I draw the line.
Laurent was flying in from Chicago, but Rocco had discussed with him by phone exactly what should be done with my hair color, based on a photo I'd e-mailed. Rocco spent the next two hours meticulously painting tiny sections of my hair several different shades of blonde. We had the typical customer-stylist banter — except for the fact that this stylist rented his New York loft to Nicole Kidman last year.
Future News Now
New World Order Chieftans Openly Discuss Dismantling US Border and Bringing Us into the Pan-American Union (CNN via Infowars.com)
You gotta love the headline, which is Alex Jones's interpretation of the CNN story he sources. Insane headline notwithstanding, Jones is, as always, on the right track. The Pan-American Union is big and it looks to get bigger. Remember that whole Minuteman story a few months back. Twas the prelude to this.
Perhaps the globalists are seeing the potential demise of the EU and want to turn their attention over to the PAU. I expect we'll see this idea more openly discussed as the "problem" of border security grows worse, causing the populace to "react" by demanding a "solution". The solution : the Pan-American Union. Good luck to all my friends in that part of the country. I'm afraid you will be the first to be absorbed.
continental government. The media has kept a pretty tight lid on this treason until now. The 1986 amnesty, NAFTA, CAFTA have been stepping stones towards the dissolution of our national sovereignty.

Jackson Schmackson
As you can see from the final Jackson Schmackson graphic and as, I'm sure, you heard by now, Michael Jackson was found "Not Guilty" on all 10 charges. As alluded to in this week's opening, there was actually an edition of Jackson Schmackson written up that lamented the fact that the jury still hadn't come to a verdict. Well, that went onto the scrap heap at about 3:30 this afternoon or so.
For those loyal Jackson Schmackson followers over the last 15 weeks or so, here is the point-by-point Jackson Scale : 75, 80, 65, 50, 67, 67, 77, 80, 87, 82, 65, 70, 75, 65, 70, 66
What that says about anything, I'm not sure. I will be interested in hearing the jurors after the case to see what they say and if my speculations ever matched their thoughts.
It's far too soon to really say much about this, since my television is filled to the brim with talking heads. It's a cable news junkie's dream / nightmare and I'm living in it as I type this, trying to soak up as many factoids and sound bites as possible. Pray for me.
As someone who followed the trial pretty closely for the duration, I was pretty shocked at the outcome. The very nature of the verdict coming in this afternoon led me to believe that Jackson would be found guilty. The talking heads on FOX definitly made me feel certain that Jackson was jailbound in the tense minutes leading up to the verdict.
An exclusive for all www.theusofe.com members, in the VAULT will be the graphic that would have been used had Jackson been found guilty. Yup, I had that covered. And only usofe.com members will see it @ the VAULT.
The Jackson Scale : 0 (Last Week : 66)
Comment : Turn out the lights, it's over.
A scale of 1 to 100, with 100 being nearly certain, I will deduce the odds of Jackson being found guilty and going to jail. This is not an opinion of his guilt, just a barometer of the potential outcome of the trial.
Editorial
Aruba-Derci Baby
Okay, let's get this out of the way first. My heart goes out to the family of that poor girl who went missing in Aruba. No one deserves to go through a crisis like that and I hope and pray that the good Lord looks out for you and y'all. I apologize for the tasteless title of this editorial, but I couldn't help myself.
Now, onto the bidness at hand. I simply do not care about this story. Make it go away. Yesterday's Runaway Bride is today's Aruba Girl. It's repulsive and it's depressing. I can't imagine that plastering this story all over the news 24/7 in America helps find a girl who is missing in Aruba at all.
Who do we blame ? Well, of course, we blame the media. They are prostitutes, we know that. So they simply must sensationalize and exploit any tragedy as much as possible, because that is pretty much their job.
Meanwhile, and this may be tough for some to swallow, we blame the parents of this girl. What adult in their right mind let's their daughter who just graduated from high school go to Aruba ? If my daughter looked like her, I'd be hard pressed to let her out of the house at all. And who was the moron in charge of watching over all of these kids ? I'd like to see him publicly executed.
Of note for all of you folks who cower in fear of the New World Order, there is probably an agenda at hand here. Shockingly, we have not heard it from Alex Jones yet, but I suspect we will eventually. Make note that it has been said in the media several times that they are holding the suspects in custody. Apparently, it is legal there to hold a suspect for an inordinate amount of time, at least 8 days, possibly up to 16. If and when this case is cracked, expect the fact that the authorities could hold the suspects so long to be trumpeted as a means to the end of "justice".
It is called conditioning. Conditioning the American people to accept extreme methods to extract information from suspects. As the good Mr. Jones points out, we are living in a world where torture is becoming acceptable and this story may be another element in the layering that is at work.
Either way, I truly loathe these "missing person" stories that get used by the media to fill time. Ultimately, the blame must rest squarely on one set of people : The Michael Jackson jury. Don't they realize that because of their tardiness in reaching a verdict, we were forced to endure this sad ordeal. For shame, MJ jurors, for shame.
End Notes
