Why not drop in for a drink and a vibrator...

In July of this year Love Joule opened in Tokyo's Shibuya district. According to Akiko Teishi, who interviewed bar patrons, the locals refer to it as the “female masturbation bar”.  According to Akiko Sayama, a nurse and frequent bar patron, says the bar is about breaking barriers – it is an outlet for women in the country often faced with the rapid sexualizing of women in the country. Sayama added, “I go because it is a safe place and I don't have to worry about trying to brush off men all the time. Add in that it is also a great place to drink and talk about what we women love to talk about, sex and guys, that's also a big pull,” she told Bikyamasr.com.

Lkuko Ikeshita of Ikeshita Ladies’ Clinic told Japanese web magazine ZakZak, “Traditionally, whenever a female patient would come in with a problem like having a sex toy get stuck, hospital staff would look at them coldly, now people realize that it's just something that happens.” One wonders just how prevalent this problem is...

Chinese Naval forces off California said to be on Joint UFO Suppression Mission.

Gordon Duff, senior editor at Veterans Today, writes that an Asian intelligence agency reports that a combined fleet operation between the US and China has been going on, a full combat operation against what we are told is a "highly unfriendly extra-terrestrial threat." He cites a classified memo that reveals there is a "clear and present danger" and that the opposition is extraterrestrial and extremely aggressive and unfriendly.  Read the complete article here.

Fact or fiction? What do you know?

9/11 - Eleven years later and the controversy continues.

UPDATES:
According to the New York Times, "...By May 1, the Central Intelligence Agency told the White House of a report that “a group presently in the United States” was planning a terrorist operation. Weeks later, on June 22, the daily brief reported that Qaeda strikes could be “imminent,” although intelligence suggested the time frame was flexible..."

Thanks to "anonymous" who emailed a link to a video that, if "real", asserts that a cruise missile actually hit the pentagon. Why hasn't the FBI released all of the footage that they confiscated from various CCTVs that showed what hit the pentagon? There is only one reason that I can think of as to why they haven't released them...

Leaked 9/11 Pentagon cruise missile footage with analysis.

The release of the 9/11 commission report, which was edited "of potentially classified material", raised and continues to raise more questions than it has answered. People around the world continue to express their lack of faith in the report - calling it a cover up or a white wash of the actual circumstances and perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks.  While it is easy to paint those who question the conclusions of the report with the derisive term "conspiracy theorist" the fact is that many have pointed out anomalies and raised questions that have not been adequately explained or investigated. This leads to further speculation as to why there has been no further "official" inquiry.

Architects and Engineers for 9/11 truth, who claim to represent over 1,700 architects and engineers who have signed a petition citing evidence of a controlled explosion,  state that, "We are a non-partisan association of architects, engineers and affiliates dedicated to exposing the falsehoods and to revealing truths about the “collapses” of the 3 World Trade Center high-rises on September 11, 2001.  Intelligence professionals, former military analyst, CIA veterans, Pulitzer prize winning investigative reporters and other "highly credible people" have questioned the findings of the 9/11 commission - some going on record with their belief that it was an "inside job".

Former Governor and Navy SEAL Jessie Ventura conducted his own investigation and he has gone on record, not only expressing his doubts, in no uncertain terms about the 9/11 commission's report, but seeking answers to specific questions about the "explosion below" that eye witness William Rodriguez spoke about, the thermite discovered in the dust at the World Trade Center site, why our air defenses were in a stand down mode and what happened to the black boxes that Mike Malone swears he found and recovered at ground zero.

What ever your thoughts are about the veracity of the 9/11 commission's report the fact is that this event has forever changed America - and not for the better. This attack was the impetus for the so called Patriot Act - that has gutted our Bill of Rights,  two wars that have resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths and injuries, and a tremendous windfall of tax payers dollars that have been transferred to the military industrial complex.

Will we ever know the truth?

Will we ever regain the rights that we have lost?

Will the Military Industrial Complexes' appetite for tax payers dollars make it impossible for us to ever live in peace?

Hackers Say FBI Has ID Numbers from more than 12 million iPhones, iPads and other devices. Are you on the list?

The hacker group AntiSec posted a file to a website that they say contains 1 million "unique device identifiers" or UDIDs. They claim the "complete" file contained user names, name of device type of device, Apple Push Notification Service tokens as well as zip codes, cell phone numbers and addresses. The hacker group claims they retrieved the file with more than 12 million identification numbers for Apple iPhones, iPads and other devices, from an FBI laptop. The FBI has disputed the allegation and states "at this time, there is no evidence indicating that an FBI laptop was compromised or that the FBI either sought or obtained this data.

AntiSec claims they found the file on a Dell laptop computer that allegedly belongs to Christoper K. Stangl who is associated with the FBI's Cyber Action Teams. AntiSec said the file was called "NCFTA_iOS_devices_intel.csv". The FBI denies the hacker group's claim that the FBI's intent was to track Apple users.

If you are concerned that your Apple device was compromised The Next Web will assist you in checking to see if you are on the list.

New Jersey Supermarket Employee Kills 2 - Shoots Self

According to Rene Lynch of the Los Angeles Times  a super market employee walked into a New Jersey super market with an AK-47 and a automatic pistol and killed two employees before killing himself. The article goes on to say, "The incident is likely to reignite debate over guns - especially assault rifles -- and gun violence in America. It occurs just weeks after the Aurora, Colo., movie theater shooting and the Sikh temple shooting in Wisconsin."

According to Reuters  Old Bridge Mayor Owen Henry described the suspected shooter as a former marine and a disgruntled worker who had been employed by the Pathmark for just a few weeks, the Star-Ledger newspaper said.

Questions:
How does a person who has been employed for "just a few weeks" become "disgruntled" enough to shoot co-workers?

Are these shootings isolated incidents or is there "more than meets the eye"?

Will this cause citizens to rethink their position on gun ownership?

I'd like to know what you think.

UPDATED: Aurora Shooting Eyewitness - Possible second shooter

The mystery deepens. An eyewitness to the shooting states that "he had someone with him". He also stated that the second cannister of gas "did not come from his side". According to Michael Kelly's  article in the  business insider at a July 20 press conference Chief Dan Oates said investigators were confident that James Holmes acted alone and that he was "apprehended outside his White Hyundai parked in the back of the theater..."

BUT - the article goes on to state that skeptics point to an exchange in the police transmissions as evidence that Holmes was found in his LOCKED car with a gas mask on and heavily drugged and it appears they were prepared to carry him out on a white stretcher board (pictured underneath the car). Three minutes after Holmes was supposedly detained in/by his car, an officer says "One of the shooters might be wearing a white and blue plaid shirt" and the dispatcher responds "Copy, outstanding shooter possibly wearing a white and blue plaid shirt."

Factor in that a second gas mask was found hundreds of feet from Theater 9's emergency exit and Holmes' car. Keep in mind that Holmes was immediately arrested in the back of the theater 90 seconds after the first 911 call was made and was found wearing a different gas mask.

Now that the Holmes case is sealed the records can not be examined and compared to the information that we currently have.

Why was there a second gas mask?
Was there a second shooter?
Does it seems that Holmes was conveniently left to take the "rap"?
Who could have been behind this?
Will we ever know what really happened?

Islamophobia - Right or Wrong

Pamela Gellar won the right to post anti-Islam ads on MAA buses.  Does Gellar's actions conflict with  what America, a country of immigrants, stands for? Should she be allowed to advertise this message even if it could inflame people to commit indiscriminate acts of violence?  Are all Muslims to be feared? What do you think?
