Now this is some crazy news coming out of Denver City as a man named Jeff Peckman, in his attempts to get voters to help set up a commission that will welcome space visitors to Earth, has pledged to show a video recording on Friday that will show proof that we humans are not alone in the Universe and that there is indeed life in outer space. On Thursday with city officials to review his ballot proposal, Jeff Peckman insists that he has authentic footage of aliens that visited the White House and even looked through the windows surveying the rooms.

While describing four foot tall aliens with grey skin, Jeff Peckman believes deeply that the Government has long since hidden the fact about alien lifeforms from the public and he wants to make a difference. While he need 4,000 signatures to effect the ballot, Jeff Peckman nevertheless said that there is growing momentum from the public all over the world to recognize this true phenomenon. In radio and telephone programs he has done in various countries, Peckman has received strong support from call in listeners who claimed to have personally encountered aliens.

Today is the anniversary of the first successful Mount Everest ascent attempted by man, and it was a New Zealander Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay who achieved the amazing feat that a few others have been able to follow since then. If not for the two, perhaps it might have been some more time before anyone could believe in themselves to scale the summit of what is considered the highest mountain known to mankind.

It would also be a little known fact with the current generation that today is actually the anniversary of the first Mount Everest ascent. It was 55 years ago when this was achieved, and with Google putting special logo on its home page to commemorate the event, hopefully it will bring more awareness to the younger generation who are more likely to be unmoved by the significance of something such as climbing a mountain. It is a feat of strength both physically and mentally, and one which anyone who has done it should be proud of and deserve to be celebrated for. Read the rest of this entry »

Hours ago, Comcast customers and users discovered that Comcast was hacked. Both the main website and several email accounts were affected. There is a sentiment amongst many in the cyberspace community that with this hacking, Comcast probably got what it asked for. It has been the target of much criticism and abuse since it supposedly started spying on its clientèle and also with its throttling policies. While some of these were done to protect itself, there was enough misinformation disseminated by the giant ISP when questioned about their activities, thereby angering many customers. Many of those who found their actions deplorable would probably have broken a smile when they hear that Comcast has been hacked.

The attack has so far been attributed to a group KRYOGENIKS EBK and DEFIANT, forgive me if I got that wrong for I am not sure what their full group name is. News of Comcast getting hacked started when customers went to their website and saw a message that said “KRYOGENIKS EBK and DEFIANT RoXed COMCAST” on the home page and nothing else. Right now, the declaration has been taken off and has been replaced with a parked page under Network Solutions, presumably with Comcast staff busy trying to repair the damage after being hacked.

It has been confirmed that the Kim Jong Il assassination reports are false and that the North Korean leader is still alive and well, according to a Unification Ministry spokesman. The initial rumour shook the Asian world and stock markets across Asia suffered some negative reactions when the rumour was first reported on an online South Korean new site that might now suffer some penalties as a result. However, with the moves by the South Korean government to deny that Kim Jong Il assassination attempts were not true and the leader was actually still enjoying his reign in North Korean, it should help settle some nerves which had caused a slight ripple in the Asian financial markets.

Just imagine if it was indeed true that a Kim Jong Il assassination had taken place. The North Korean leader (sometimes spelled as Kim Jung Il as proper Korean romanisation) has presided with an iron fist over the communist country, with his father before him also in the same position. If you were to visit the country, you would have to bow to huge statues of both Kim Jong Il and his father as a mark of respect. There have even been songs created to portray Kim Jong Il as legends and his father as a heavenly bird that descended to save the country. If Kim Jong Il had indeed been assassinated, it would have been picked up by more than just one unknown South Korean online new site. More global media giants would have jumped on it fast and the news would spread like wildfire. Read the rest of this entry »
