Blue Star Chronicles

Meet Kimberly Munley, police officer, mother and Ft. Hood massacre hero. In the biography section of her twitter page, long before the events of this week, she describes herself as ‘I go to sleep peacefully @ night knowing that I may have made a difference in someone’s life.’ And she certainly has. She is a true American heroine!

Kimberly Munley

Officer Kimberly Munley was doing her job, directing traffic on the Ft. Hood Army base in Killeen, Texas. She and her partner just happened to be walking by the deployment processing center when shots rang out. She was the first responder on the scene where Army Major Nadal Hasan had trapped a large number of Soldiers in a waiting area and begun shooting them. She is credited with taking down Hasan and saving untold lives, even after she was wounded herself.

Here is some raw video footage from the Ft. Hood shooting rampage that was perpetrated on our Soldiers yesterday. This horrific act was perpetrated by a islamic radical terrorist who was a member of the United States Army. Remember, this is a GLOBAL war on terrorism. It’s not against any particular country or group, it is global and it is about 9th century ideology trying to bring down and destroy western society. The shooting rampage took place in the Howze Theater and at the Soldiers Readiness Processing Center, where Soldiers were being processed to be deployed to either Iraq or Afghanistan.

The main stream media and the family of the alleged perpetrator, Major Malik Nidal Hasan, are painting this as a disgruntled Army officer who was conflicted about the war on terrorism and terrified of being deployed to the Middle East and had been picked on by his fellow Soldiers because he’s a muslim. However, the people who have worked with him say that he was radicalized, preached the Koran, stated he was muslim first and American second, was unable to get along with his peers or relate to the Soldiers he was supposed to be helping at Walter Reed Hospital.

Somali pirates and islamic militia groups are struggling for control of British hostages Paul and Rachel Chandler who were taken hostage last week as they were sailing to Tanzania. As the Somalis fight over the British couple, they have lowered their ransom demands.

Somali pirates are continuing to wreck havoc on the seas along the coasts of Somalia. British couple Paul Chandler, 59-years-old, and his wife Rachel Chandler, 55-years-old, of Tunbridge Wells, Kent, United Kingdom, were taken hostage on October 23, 2009. They were taken from their yacht, the Lynn Rival, as they were sailing from the Seychelles towards Tanzania. The pirates demanded about $7 million and the release of seven Somali pirates who were captured while attempting to take a French ship last week. The pirates claim that the $7 million (£4.2 million) is to cover the cost of damage caused by NATO troops.

What do you get when you mix Twitter, a psychic, and a bunch of nincompoops who will believe just about anything? You get a tweance, or more specifically you get a Michael Jackson Twitter séance with Kurt Cobain and River Phoenix thrown in for good measure.

Psychic Jayne Wallace performed what I suppose was the first ever Twitter séance; in honor of Halloween no doubt. Wallace “contacted” Michael Jackson with a bonus communication with musician Kurt Cobain of Nirvana and actor River Phoenix who died of a drug overdose.

There is a huge Denver snowstorm blasting the mountain area. It makes me cold just to think about it. A good friend of ours in Denver says the snow is coming down hard and fast and the wind is fierce.

As I sit in the sunny South, I can’t help but feel for those who live near the Continental Divide and are looking at well below freezing temperatures, a foot of snow and high winds. Denver is experiencing it’s first major snowstorm of the season and is under a winter storm advisory. By Thursday evening the foothills could see as much as 24 inches of snow and Denver 10 to 18 inches of snow. Burr.

Two men have been charged in a muhammad cartoon revenge plot. Remember the muhammad cartoon wars back in 2005? A Danish newspaper, Jyllands-Posten, published cartoons of the islamic prophet muhammad. You might remember that the islamic world burst into riots and threats, demanding that the newspaper be shut down and the cartoonist executed for depicting the prophet. The riots went on for weeks. There were death threats and jihadist around the world used the incident to incite as much frantic hatred and violence as they could against Western civilization.

We thought the whole frenzy over the muhammad cartoons had died down, but apparently we were wrong. Two men have been arrested and charged with plotting revenge for those cartoons. The two men are from Barack Obama’s adopted hometown of Chicago.

After a couple of months of uncertainty as to the direction the new Japanese government will take in terms of American military bases on the island of Okinawa, the Japanese Prime Minister has stated that the U.S. base should stay on Okinawa. The Futenma airfield is a large Marine Corp base that is at the center of the controversy, although the future of other bases on the island is also being discussed.

There have been concerns about growing tensions between the United States and Japan. Japan has been one of our biggest allies in support of the Global War on Terrorism and has been a consistent and dependable partner with the United States in global affairs. As with some of our other traditional allies, things seem to be changing. Many of our allies are looking at us with distrust and concern as to the direction the Obama Administration is taking our country. It is only reasonable that they are beginning to look at ways to take care of their own interest should the United States no long uphold her promises of support and defense as she has in the past.

There was more than a little bit of excitement on an AirAsia flight this week when a woman gave birth to a baby in mid-flight. The result is lifetime free flights for the baby born on the plane.

Liew Siaw Hsia, 31-years-old, wasn’t expecting her baby quite yet, but the baby had other ideas when he decided to arrive while she was flying AirAsia airlines from the northern island of Penang to Kuching on Borneo Island . Liew went into labor during the flight on Wednesday, October 21, 2009. The pilot attempted to make a closer airport, but the baby obviously had other ideas and was delivered mid-flight with the help of a doctor who was on board and flight attendants. The baby was taken to a hospital as soon as the plane landed.

Ali Yakubov is just 9-months-old, but has become a source of hope for the muslim population in the midst of violence in the predominately muslim southern regions of Russia. He is being referred to as the ‘Miracle’ Russian baby. It is said that Koran verses appear on the baby’s body every few days. They fade and reappear.

The Koranic verse pinkish lettering appears in Arabic and reads, ‘Be thankful or grateful to Allah’.

Thousands have made the pilgrimage to Kizlyar in Russia’s Dagestan to view the islamic miracle. The region has been racked with violence from islamist in recent months. Local leaders have struggled to contain the violence perpetrated by islamic radicals against local authorities. There have been suicide bombings and armed attacks on police and politicians in Dagestan, Ingushetia and Chechnya. Locals view the fact that Yakubov’s father, Ali Shamil, 27-years-old, is a police officer as proof that there has been divine intervention since law enforcement officers have been a favorite target of the terrorists.

Music used at Guantanamo is angers musicians. It seems that the U.S. military has been cranking up the volume of Western music to get more cooperation from uncooperative prisoners in the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Doesn’t it seem a bit ironic that musicians are objecting to this and referring to it as ‘torture’ for the terrorists there to have to listen to their music? I does to me. But that is the case.

Musicians are joining forces with leftist activists, objecting to the use of music, including their own, as a method of breaking the hard-core terrorists who are refusing to cooperate with the U.S. Naval run military prison officials. Bands involved in protesting the use of their music include R.E.M. Nine Inch Nails, Trent Reznor and Pearl Jam. They have joined the National Campaign to Close Guantanamo. The campaign launched on Tuesday. They have filed a Freedom of Information Act request for the release of classified documents pertaining to the use of loud music as part of interrogations.

It has been leaked that Emilie de Ravin’s character, Claire Littleton returns for the Lost final season. We have known for a while that we can expect some of characters to return for the 2010 season and it’s not a huge surprise that one of those would be Claire. Her story line in the show was certainly left unfinished.

Emilie de Ravin

I think it’s fairly safe to say that the Lost character of Claire is a favorite of many fans of the show. We last saw her in Jacob’s cabin, sitting with the apparition in the form of Jack’s and her father. This was after she had mysteriously disappeared into the jungle after having been injured in an explosion at New Otherton. As a primary character in the show, her fate has been left dangling to the frustration of many Lost fans. We didn’t even know if she is alive or dead. Apparently, we will find out what has happened to Claire in the 2010 Lost season.

Read more and see photos and a video of an interview with Emilie.
