Telephone pranks, what a concept.
When we we're kids we used to make prank calls all the time.
We'd make believe we we're a radio station and tell the folks on the other line that if they could guess the name of a song they would win 10,000.
Then we'd play a song over the phone that they couldn't miss and start screaming that they won, "You won, You won, 10,000 pounds of shit.
One of my favs was we'd pick a phone number at random, and start early in the morning and ask if Joey was home, they say there is no joey here.
Then repeat it several times a day with different voices or other friends calling and ask for Joey. Then at the end of the day you call up and say "Hello, this Joey, any messages?"
Sure it racked some people's nerves, and they get pissed off. But it seems that in this day and age pranking has risen to new heights. It called Swatting.
What is swatting you ask, well a dumb fucking idea, carried out by some dumb fucking moron, that put random people a position of having to survive an invasion from their local Swat Team. Coming at you full force, with a 911 call that claims that the Swat team is needed at your home address.
A man in Washington state has been sentenced to two and a half years in a federal prison for his role in a "SWATTing" conspiracy that included prank calls intended to scramble the police and SWAT teams in Alvarado and Fort Worth on unsuspecting victims.

Welcome To The News Maze
I opened this blog...
so I could get off my chest shit that racks my nerves in the news. Between the media, the politicians, local sports, and public servant bullshit issues.
We have been handed nothing but lies about the war, September 11th 2001, Katrina, the oil take over, the cell phone radiation, and the heroin deals this government has made over the past administration's takeover.
The body count has been astronomical, and the attention it gets is always in bits and pieces. Some focus on the war, some 9-11, some on the victims of Katrina and some on the edges of the reality that we are getting screwed big time.
Here we will focus on it all! No free rides and no hidden agendas. We want answers, we'll ask for them, we'll share them and we'll plead for them as well.
September 11th 2001 I think is a good place for me to start. So many people had died, and so many questions had risen from the flesh infested dust, yet we let it pass without as much as a legal commitment. Justice was blinded by headlines of anthrax, Eron, the Church and it's sex scandals and anything else the people were willing to let blind them.
Normally, here in New York, we take pride in how we approach a crime scene. We look at details and we piece together what could be the cause of the crime. But this crime, had no crime scene, no investigation, no evidence turned over to the DA's office. What we got was full line of bullshit, that people wanted to believe, for people to keep the faith, while all along, being lied to. Sometimes, a lie, can be swallowed and digested just so it will pass through us.
First with all crimes, we have to look at who had the means, the motive and the opportunity. Within that frame work most crime investigations are conducted. We never had that chance, that chance was taken away from us before September 11, 2001. Now, in 2007, the crime scene still sits with human ash and more people paying the price because of this ash. A crime that has been killing for over seven years, and yet we still have no investigation? What we have is a war, deflecting our deepest desire to ask a simple question. What really happened on September 11th 2001?
