Nearing 100,000 blog views

October 26, 2008

Based on view count averages over the last month or so, I should pass the 100,000 views mark for this blog sometime in the next 24 hours. Around a month ago, I was thinking that would probably happen sometime slightly before the end of the year, but the release of the sequel to Zeitgeist has brought a significant upsurge in viewers here, so things are well ahead of that schedule. Anyway, while I’m looking at the most popular posts here and stats and so forth, I thought I’d take this opportunity to link some of them here and also link some (IMO) deserving but less well read posts- an update on anything which is more current than 05/05/2008; the last time I wrote here about some of my less read (but IMO deserving) posts So, here goes…

Top 10 all time viewed blog posts (and date written)
1. Peter Joseph’s movie Zeitgeist 15,645 01/14/2008
2. A “debunking” of the movie Zeitgeist 5,276 05/06/2008
3. Reviews of the movie Zeitgeist by Peter Joseph 3,651 01/17/2008
4. Alleged Spitzer call girl bikini picture (and probable debunk of “Kristen” profile pic) 2,125 03/13/2008
5. WTC 7 survivor Barry Jennings dead? 1,890 09/17/2008
6. Kill The Messenger- the Sibel Edmonds documentary – watch it here, since you can’t get it from Netflix 1,482 11/25/2007
7. Fortune 500 companies board of directors overlap project 1,414 02/12/2008
8. update on my big muckety social mapping project 1,395 02/02/2008
9. What this blog is not about- “naked YouTube where I can her boobs” 1,378 01/13/2008
10. Ashley Alexandra Dupre- a volcanically hot trend 994 03/13/2008

As far as less viewed but deserving posts go, not too much to add to the old list; the blog has been on the back shelf a bit lately due to other projects/interests. Some worthwhile new additions to the mapping Fortune 500 companies and their interlocking directorships can be found within the Fortune 500 category.

Most of the rest seems to be along the lines of topical news commentary as I see new stories come along. And, if you haven’t already started learning how to read between the MSM li(n)es yourself, shame on you and get to work on that!


Chicago Public Radio WBEZ interviews Sibel Edmonds

July 10, 2008

Public radio station WBEZ apparently aired a 2 part radio show yesterday and today featuring interviews with Sibel Edmonds and information about her story on the program Worldview as part of a continuing National Security Whistleblowers series. Good news that her story is getting some air time!


Recent interest in Sibel Edmonds and Kill The Messenger

July 5, 2008

I’m not sure exactly why, but in the last couple of days I’ve had a surge of hits visiting related to Kill The Messenger and Sibel Edmonds.

Yesterday
kill the messenger movie – 10
sybil edmonds – 4
kill the messenger edmonds – 3
Today so far
kill the messenger movie – 4

It’s possible that some of those searchers are looking for the 2005 civil war movie with that name, but some are definitely seeking Sibel. I’m glad to see a renewal of interest in the documentary Kill The Messenger and in Sibel Edmonds, the FBI whistleblower who is considered to be the most gagged person in U.S. history.

Maybe it’s because The New American’s current issue has an article about Sibel Edmonds called Shooting the Messenger? Anyway, I wish I could point you towards an online venue to watch the documentary Kill The Messenger- since it’s still not available via Netflix (maybe they’d get the message if they got enough requests for it?) but unfortunately none of the ones which used to be around work anymore. I guess you might possibly also be able to order a copy by emailing the directors, though.


Remake of Sybil- when will they remake Kill The Messenger?

June 8, 2008

In light of CBS’s recent remake of the 1976 drama “Sybil” starring Sally Fields (this time starring Tammy Blanchard) how long do you think it will be before we see a remake of the documentary Kill The Messenger- about FBI whistleblower Sibel Edmonds’ story? Yeah, thirty years sounds about right to me too… if ever, that is. Anyway, until then, enjoy this little piece which blazingprattles put together a few months back. Sybil Sibel
