Seventh Earwig

Found Last Month

Actually, I found seven earwigs in September without really trying. I forgot for a little while where I had placed the bag in the freezer with the earwig that I had found in the driveway. Here's its picture.

Six More Frozen Earwigs

Some More Digital Photos

Last month I found four earwigs while cleaning our carport. One of them was even crawling up my bare leg. I later found another one in the driveway when I was mowing the front lawn. Afterwards, I saw still another one in the carport again. I captured all of them, put them in the freezer, and then later photographed them with my new digital camera.

P.S. The Green Anoles appear to be coming back here again. But, we didn't have all that many lizards around this past summer.

9/11/01 Remembrance

To Me It Seems Incredible

So you're telling me that about four or five Moslem men armed only with box cutters could start murdering flight attendants and pilots while around a hundred American men sat in their seats crying and whimpering like little girls on three of four different jetliners. How weak and cowardly those other passengers appear to have been!

And, how slow had our air defenses been that day if they were not able to catch up with even one of the hijacked planes? Or, how could a 757 hit the Pentagon with its hardened walls and leave almost no debris outside the building? And why was the last tower hit the first to fall?

Are you really telling me the truth? I find it hard to believe this story still. But I saw those towers fall. Wasn't it live on TV?

American Earwigs

A Fifth Frozen Earwig

On Sunday, August 21st, I decided to look outside for another common earwig to use for comparison. Within a minute I found this one, but it appears to be the dangerous type. Right now I'm no longer certain about which earwig is what species or what their differences are, but I do think at least some of them are quite dangerous pests. And, who knows how many of them there are around?

Perhaps scientists shouldn't disparage folklore so much. There might be a reason for some of these tales. I have a book that lists a Little Earwig known scientifically as "Labia Minor" and classified under Labiidae Dermaptera. And its range covers the entire contiguous United States.

Green Anole lizards used to be almost the only ones found around here besides skinks, but now it's mostly some Tex-Mex species with a ridge on its back and a bull head. Fire ants and Carpenter ants have replaced bull ants and most other ants that used to come into our yard. Even honey bees have seemed to decline after killer bees arose. Go figure.

Three And A Half Frozen Earwigs

Digital Photos With A Better Camera

When I saw this earwig on July 18th, I stomped on it with my shoe. The uneven pattern on my shoe's sole crushed its head and thorax but left the lower abdomen and pincers unscathed. I froze that piece along with the other earwigs. I had let the common earwig used earlier for comparison go after having cooled it down in the refrigerator, but I think a Green Anole lizard ate it before it could move about freely.

So, in the last year and a half, I have at least taken out four of these dangerous earwigs and all their possible offspring (though one might be in a state of suspended animation). But it's likely that there are more around somewheres. You might try ultrasonic waves to drive them away, though I'm not sure how well that will work.

P.S. I was given a better camera after I used my credit card at hhgregg.

P.P.S. And, in my opinion, it was a big mistake for the U.S. to place "space bombers" and "killer satellites" in orbit. They should probably bring them back down. At the least, these acts have set a bad precedent.

Found Another Of Those Earwigs

Digital Photos Below

When I saw this one this past Tuesday night, I put it in a plastic sandwich bag. I then put it in the freezer. In its death throes, it bent its back over double and opened wide its pincers and closed them several times while writhing about. As it got colder, it straightened out its body and closed its pincers.

Here in Florida, the common type earwig has what looks something like an oblong segmented shield centered on its underbelly, while on this one the segments go all the way across its abdomen.

P. S. I really should buy a better camera.

I Don't Know

But I Wouldn't Be Surprised


UFO and The Moon

Maybe they were just assessing the situation here on Earth, but I wouldn't even be surprised if extraterrestrials somehow averted a total nuclear meltdown at Fukushima. I haven't heard anyone else mention anything about that UFO and the Moon, but I think that I couldn't have been the only one to notice it. That starship must have been about one quarter the size of the Moon.


Space Weapons?

I'd also like to know what secret military payload was sent into space from Vandenberg AFB on April 14th by the NRO. Was it just cameras? If so, why all the secrecy?

And About CIA Torture

I also wouldn't be surprised if the CIA has never stopped torturing prisoners.

What May Have Happened

Not a Rogue Asteroid, a UFO



I would conjecture that these are both orbs in shape. I think the moon is the larger orb in the photo, and that the shadow from the sun of the smaller self-glowing orb falls upon the moon to the lower left.

It was a clear night when I stepped out into my backyard at about 2:45am on March 14th and looked toward a moon looming large over the western horizon that seemed misshapen and that I didn't quite recognize. Being curious about it and not seeing it completely through the trees, I walked out front and down the street to get a clear view. I then went back inside to get my camera and tripod. At about 2:50 I was back on the street and took this picture. Seconds later the moon did not look very unusual, but I took a few more pictures anyway until it went below the trees again.

I'm sorry that the photo is a little overexposed. Both objects had an orangish golden hue like a harvest moon. I used the night scene setting on my inexpensive digital camera. I'm not all too pleased with my camera, but it's at least something I like to have around.

Looking Towards The Moon

Rogue Asteroid Near Miss?

Looking to the west just above the horizon around 3am EDT (maybe EST) on March 14, I saw these objects and took a digital photograph. At first I thought it was a strange looking moon like I had never seen before. But, maybe there was something else in front of our moon as I was gazing from my position in Jacksonville, Florida.

Another One Of Those Earwigs

With More Digital Photos

Even with an ultra-sonic pest repeller nearby, I found this young earwig crawling around on September 7th and pounded it with my hand when I saw it. I don't think roach spray works very well against them either. So keep a sharp eye out. It seems that pounding them when you notice them may be your second best defense. And just to be safe, because these earwigs are so similar to the normal ones, I would go ahead and kill every earwig wherever and whenever I might find one. I know that, as for me, I'm not going to tolerate their continued existence anymore.

Common Florida Earwig

For Comparison

This is the common earwig normally found in Northeast Florida. It looks very similar to the one in my previous post. The difference in appearance is mainly in the size and shape of the abdomen, with the other's being of greater width comparatively and shaped more like a teardrop. I don't really think that it's necessary to kill this species shown here, if found outside.

Public Health Concern

Strange Earwig Found in USA

This is neither a joke nor just an old wives' tale. Beware of this dangerous pest. It can scurry into a nostril, cut a small circle in the skin inside, start gnawing away at your sinus cavity, making a home for itself, get into your ear, and more. I hope that one of these doesn't enter or infect your brain. Symptoms include sinus infections on one side. First the danger must be recognized, then you can fight against it.

(Digital photograph of an immature specimen. Notice the narrow thorax and large abdomen.)

If you see an earwig like this one, you should kill and capture it. To see one and not kill it might be a deadly mistake. Its normal lifespan is probably more than a dozen years.

When I saw this one, I pounded it with my fist like a hammer. I then crushed its neck with my thumbnail and dropped it into a small container. It landed in an awkward position bending the abdomen. Then I froze it.

Unfortunately, in Florida at least, if you tell a doctor that you have a problem with this bug, that same doctor can very well legally send you to an insane asylum for the rest of your life. Thank God for the power of the name of Jesus Christ! And thank goodness for doctors. But, I would also suggest that everyone buy ultra-sonic pest repellers and plug one into an outlet in your bedroom. I know Black&Decker makes some in China.

So, beware also of those earwigs that you don't see. Insects have little mercy. And, the Mafia and CIA do likewise, among others. But who can blame them? Mercy is meant for the merciful. But, this means war. I'm still hoping it's not a plague. And, I hope mankind overcomes these things. Glory to the LORD God.

Congratulations to Barack Obama

I wish him well as President of the United States of America in a difficult time. But, I don't envy the job.

Perhaps Congress can now pass a law to criminalize torture that won't be vetoed.

As for myself, I've just rarely been on the internet lately. My free time has been very limited. I'm focusing my interests toward at least doing a little more with my music. Listen in at:

How US Torture Laws Help Al-Qaeda

One Reason at Least

No decent, self-respecting individual would ever turn another person over to authorities to be tortured. Yes a civilized person might turn in a suspect to be detained and questioned, but not for torture or summary execution.

Torture is against international law and condemned by enlightened societies, but embraced by degenerates and barbarians. My dad used to tell me that two wrongs don't make a right. I guess maybe Bush's Poppy never said that to him.

US Plans to Blow Apart Its Own Military Satellite

Space Weapons and Anti-satellite Missiles

Here is a good opportunity for our space agencies to prove the value of the Orbital Express satellites to reprogram and boost the orbit of its own spy satellite, but instead they choose once again to show their ability to destroy satellites by using anti-satellite missiles.

They warned the Chinese before about doing the same thing. It sounds like another clear act of intimidation against the rest of the world, an example of how they can deny access in space for certain satellites - especially those from Iran.

Iran's Satellite Program Is `Troubling Development,' U.S. Says

Space Weapons Warning - Update

Experimental Satellites
And Anti-satellite Satellites

Last Thursday night an Atlas 5 rocket was sent aloft and on skyward from Cape Kennedy. DARPA and Space Command placed in low earth orbit some six "experimental" military satellites. Of these some are said to be used for refueling satellites but also capable of capturing and attaching themselves to most man-made satellites and changing their orbits, the Orbital Express program. Repeating again, and reading between the lines, these satellites can not only grab other satellites to boost their orbits - but also presumably bring them down in a fiery reentry. And are ready and able to do whichever is commanded.

The Chinese had also been working on technology for something like this for some time. They'll probably want to put their own in orbit next, satellites that capture other satellites and change their control and function in some way. (They didn't recently shoot apart their own satellite for no reason, like Reagan did over twenty years ago.) Or if someone wanted, they could just put something as simple as some big bags of sand in orbit rigged to explode, or maybe something as complicated as an EMP.

It seems to me that our leaders blunder on, and America has gone berserkers. Bush has called for the world to react either for or against his administration, who say either get behind them or get out of their way - follow them or face their wrath. Welcome to the twenty-first century, Mr. Schizoidman. Take a look at the scene you are creating. I'm speculating that you will still go ahead on and not listen to me, a somewhat concerned citizen. Que sera sera.

So the weaponization of space is full speed ahead. Get ready for satellite wars to begin. Does America really think it can conquer the whole world with satellites, nukes, the troops in Iraq, and all their false intelligence, money, and the cheering sections of high school football games chanting, "USA! USA! Shock and awe! We're #1!"? The nurse with a sweet female face announces with a smile, a wink, and a grin, "Time for your medicine."

Iraq Now - A Question for Free People

About Four Years After (Once Again)

First and foremost, what do the liberated people of Iraq think? If the Iraqis now truly have freedom and democracy, then perhaps they themselves should now put it to a vote on whether they wish the US military to leave or to stay, and not the US Congress which voted for an unnecessary war of aggression. Isn't it time yet for the matter to be broached and for the question to be asked?

I suppose it's none of my business anyway. I don't consider myself a free man either.

The End

I have thought for some time now that the Neo-Con's plans and dreams for American world-domination will probably soon lead to nuclear war, and that there's really nothing I can do about it. And, knowing the human race, it would likely happen anyway. Oblivion and chaos, but almost nobody cares. And I say also, "God's will be done" - whatever it may be. I have seen glimpses of His Glory. But maybe you can tell me, when did the Christian creed become "Blessed are the rich. No one can stand in their way"?

I am not those other bluehummingbirds on the internet. And, no one has supported my sites with any contributions. (My thanks to my websites' free hosts.) But due to health and financial reasons, and the lack of interest, my sites on the internet are now finished and complete. Thank you, reader, for your time and interest, and good luck. If I am ever compelled, I might still write again.

Adios,

Super Spy Agencies To Merge

9/11 Families Rejoice

A bill expressing the commission's recommendations has been passed through congress. Now we will have one big spy agency that spies on everyone. The CIA, FBI, NSA, DIA, and eleven more agencies rolled into one complete unit under one person. And where is the oversight by the representatives of the people? From what I've heard of the size of the bill, I wonder if anyone has read it. Does this mean more political assassinations at home and abroad? It only makes sense. What other way could there be to run a total police state? I guess that's progress. Why resist what's inevitable?

About the Election and the Optical Scan Votes

I, for one, would feel more re-assured about the outcome of the presidential election and its integrity if there were a recount of the optical scan votes, since there is such a discrepancy between the polling projections and the results on those machines. There can be no meaningful recount of the touch-screen votes, but we have a paper trail for the optically scanned ones. Also, the number of votes counted and the number of people who voted don't seem to match in most cases - in Florida counties at least - with more votes counted than voters; which calls for a recount in and of itself. There is no real mandate for the Bush-Cheney agenda if the election was rigged. And, we all need to have confidence in the voting process for democracy to work. Electronic computer counting of votes is open to hacking and glitches, and needs verification.
