BELIEVE IN ANGELS? THE WHITE HOUSE DO AND THEY DONT WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT IT.

The following information was found via Derek Clontz‘s blog. Naturally, I can’t verify that the information is 100% correct but if it is, it is very interesting. Please read on…

America’s National Transportation Safety Board issued a secret and unprecedented alert after a passenger jet bound to Los A ngeles from Chicago averted what the NTSB called “shimmering winged entities” at 40,000 feet.

Nobody at the agency’s headquarters in Washington, D.C. is speaking for the record to avoid what one White House official called “a Christian revival that President Obama and other secularists in this administration do not want to see.”

But NTSB sources confirm the harrowing encounter did, in fact, occur – and say airlines and pilots have been warned to “take the phenomenon seriously” as similar incidents are expected to occur “with increasing frequency”  on the run-up to the year 2012 – when many believe the world will end.

“Federal agencies by their very nature bend over backward to avoid embroiling themselves in religious issues of any kind, but in this case they have no choice,” said one NTSB insider.

“I happen to be a Christian myself and I have no qualms about it. But you better believe there are people who do not want information like this getting out to the public. ”

Reports concerning the actual encounter are sketchy and details are virtually nonexistent. But sources agree the jet narrowly averted a flock of approximately 50 angels at an altitude of 40,000 feet approximately 35 minutes into the flight.

According to those sources, the pilot of the jet said the entities “appeared out of nowhere and hovered in the clouds for 25 to 30 seconds, long enough to get a clear and unmistakable view.”

He went on to say–both in radio transmissions and a written report–that the entities “looked like an illustration from an old Bible. They were angels. I have no doubt.”

After making “rather abrupt” evasive maneuvers that reportedly resulted in two passengers sustaining minor cuts and bruises, the pilot managed to avoid what he termed “a direct hit.”

In his written report, however, he openly wondered if the plane and passengers were ever really in danger because, as he stated:

“There was nothing sinister about them. They appeared to have no more substance than vapor. I am not convinced, not now anyway, that a collision was imminent. It seems as though we could have flown right through them without problems.”

The sources went on to say a co-pilot “was profoundly moved by the experience” and has since taken a leave of absence “to contemplate precisely what happened – and why it happened.”

The airline itself was not identified by sources and the NTSB reportedly has made it clear in internal memos that keeping the name under wraps is a priority of the first order.

In fact, the NTSB and other federal agencies, including the FBI, have interviewed and debriefed all 263 passengers aboard the flight not once, but twice – each time stressing “national security” in what one source called “an intense, even frenzied” bid to keep them from talking to the press.

“I seriously doubt anybody, even the FBI, can keep all those people quiet,” said the Washington source. “Time will tell just how long their ‘national security’ arguments will work.”

Meanwhile, the NTSB has alerted all foreign and domestic airlines to exercise “due restraint in discussing similar incidents if and when they occur.”

The agency further warned “that any sighting or encounter, natural or supernatural, with potential to imperil passengers or compromise confidence in our ability to navigate (the skies) must be avoided at any cost.”

While the NTSB and airlines attempt to cope with a situation that obviously is beyond bureaucratic reckoning, members of the clergy are calling for full disclosure of the incident.

“I understand security concerns,” said the Rev. Marcus Weiler, “but we’re not talking about flying saucers or enemy aircraft … we’re talking about ambassadors from Heaven and messengers from God.

“I would propose to you that angels – even flocks of them – are not a national security risk. I also would propose to you that the government of the United States and its employees have an obligation to apprise the public of these events. Not only true believers, but every citizen, has a right to know.

“I shudder to think where this country is heading if our leaders feel they must cover up signs and messages from the Lord.”

BRITISH MAGICIAN AND MENTALIST DERREN BROWN INVESTIGATED BY OFCOM

Britain’s leading magician and mentalist, Derren Brown, is currently being investigated by Ofcom because of a homophobic comment he made on his TV show.

The Telegraph have revealed that Ofcom received 27 complaints from offended viewers of his TV show in which he explained how he correctly predicted the lottery numbers just a few days before and made a quip about the bonus ball being for “women and gays”, he also repeated this comment on his official Twitter.

Here are the actual Tweets he made:

“Ok, gays and women. Do you or do you not pay particular attention the bonus ball? I know I do.”

“And I am including gay women in that of course. Twice as much reason to pay attention.”

“May be offending straight men and bisexuals. Apologies, do be sure to complain. X”

… and complain they did, all 27 of them!

Brown, 38, who actually came out as gay in The Independent a few years ago, has been accused of being homophobic (lol) and sexist because of the above comments. It has also been rumoured that Brown has just signed a new £2 million contract with Channel 4 after being head hunted by ITV. We wonder if Channel 4 are regretting this decision after a disastrous week for the mind bender.

Wed 9th Sept – Derren correctly predicts all 6 numbers of the national lottery. The world wide web goes crazy trying to work out how he did it. Public opinion – split screen.

Thurs 10th Sept – A plausible video surfaces showing how Derren probably predicted the numbers. The video makes it to the tabloids, the video makers, to radio.

Fri 11th Sept – Brown explains on TV how he actually predicted the numbers yet doesn’t really tell us anything at all and makes a “women and gays” joke that only Bernard Manning would be proud of. Public opinion – still split screen but now Brown is a knob for thinking the public are stupid and that only women and gays like the bonus ball. Plausible video looking more plausible. 27 offended people contact Ofcom.

Mon 14th Sept – Damage control begins as The Sun reveals that Brown predicted the numbers BEFORE Christmas but the footage of him doing so were cut from Friday’s show due to time. No such footage has (yet) been seen or released. Public still angry, now with possible cover up.

Wed 16th Sept – Derren makes the “women and gays” comment again on his Twitter.

Thurs 17th Sept – It is revealed Brown is being investigated by Ofcom for his remark. His Twitter is more quiet than usual. No comment from Brown or his publicist Greg Day yet.

I wonder if Derren is of the opinion that any publicity is good publicity, hmmm…
