Tom's Burned Down Cafe - Madeline Island
I wish I could have spent more time capturing this bar - truly a shrine to individualism and free-thinking - in pictures and videos. I had to use some of the merchandise offered on their website in this montage. I hope to go back and soak up its unique atmosphere soon...and yes that is a car you see under part of the bar.

Louis Cadotte Nails the Rat on Madeline Island
This is the true fable of Louis Cadotte Nailing the Rat on Madeline Island, LaPointe, Wisconsin. Louie was one of the last few Ojibwe Indians still living on Madeline Island, sometimes called the homeland of the Ojibwe Nation. Cadotte had a reputation for telling, tall stories, that ended up being true. Here is the story of Louis Nailing the Rat as told by Tom Nelson (owner of Tom's Burnt Down Cafe) which was supported by author Tom Vennum who also recited the true story. This is the famed Island and Burnt Down Cafe that Winona LaDuke and musician Keith Secola often talk about and celebrate at each summer.

NYSTV - Ancient Aliens - Flat Earth Paradise and The Sides of the North - Multi Language
Is the North Pole the site of the original EDEN? Were the mythological times of titans and gods just an account of our antediluvian past? Were the Fallen Angels posing as gods of old? Will they reinvent themselves as Ancient Aliens so they can take credit for engineering the human race as is the case with Annunaki and Sumerian accounts of creation?* Was this their plan from the beginning and the Sumerian Texts was a sort of psyops for future generations?
Join David Carrico of FOJC Radio and Jon Pounders of NYSTV for information you won't hear anyone else talking about.
*According the the Sumerian Tablets, some of the oldest recorded written documents in the world, The annunaki (sky gods) came down to the Middle East and engineered the human race by combining their DNA with the DNA of primitive man, thus jump starting our evolution and giving birth to the human race.
This account is utter BS.
Here's the proof. If you go read any magazine or newspaper or history book in the mainstream, you'll read about an utterly distorted and skewed account of history from the winners (History is written by the winners). Why should the Sumerian Tablets be any different? It was all just a long planned psyops to get people into falsely believing that ENKI aka Lucifer, and not GOD spawned the human race... He's tricky one with the ability to plan his moves thousands of years in advance....

Our Miss Brooks: Department Store Contest / Magic Christmas Tree / Babysitting on New Year's Eve
Our Miss Brooks is an American situation comedy starring Eve Arden as a sardonic high school English teacher. It began as a radio show broadcast from 1948 to 1957. When the show was adapted to television (1952--56), it became one of the medium's earliest hits. In 1956, the sitcom was adapted for big screen in the film of the same name.
Connie (Constance) Brooks (Eve Arden), an English teacher at fictional Madison High School.
Osgood Conklin (Gale Gordon), blustery, gruff, crooked and unsympathetic Madison High principal, a near-constant pain to his faculty and students. (Conklin was played by Joseph Forte in the show's first episode; Gordon succeeded him for the rest of the series' run.) Occasionally Conklin would rig competitions at the school--such as that for prom queen--so that his daughter Harriet would win.
Walter Denton (Richard Crenna, billed at the time as Dick Crenna), a Madison High student, well-intentioned and clumsy, with a nasally high, cracking voice, often driving Miss Brooks (his self-professed favorite teacher) to school in a broken-down jalopy. Miss Brooks' references to her own usually-in-the-shop car became one of the show's running gags.
Philip Boynton (Jeff Chandler on radio, billed sometimes under his birth name Ira Grossel); Robert Rockwell on both radio and television), Madison High biology teacher, the shy and often clueless object of Miss Brooks' affections.
Margaret Davis (Jane Morgan), Miss Brooks' absentminded landlady, whose two trademarks are a cat named Minerva, and a penchant for whipping up exotic and often inedible breakfasts.
Harriet Conklin (Gloria McMillan), Madison High student and daughter of principal Conklin. A sometime love interest for Walter Denton, Harriet was honest and guileless with none of her father's malevolence and dishonesty.
Stretch (Fabian) Snodgrass (Leonard Smith), dull-witted Madison High athletic star and Walter's best friend.
Daisy Enright (Mary Jane Croft), Madison High English teacher, and a scheming professional and romantic rival to Miss Brooks.
Jacques Monet (Gerald Mohr), a French teacher.
Our Miss Brooks was a hit on radio from the outset; within eight months of its launch as a regular series, the show landed several honors, including four for Eve Arden, who won polls in four individual publications of the time. Arden had actually been the third choice to play the title role. Harry Ackerman, West Coast director of programming, wanted Shirley Booth for the part, but as he told historian Gerald Nachman many years later, he realized Booth was too focused on the underpaid downside of public school teaching at the time to have fun with the role.
Lucille Ball was believed to have been the next choice, but she was already committed to My Favorite Husband and didn't audition. Chairman Bill Paley, who was friendly with Arden, persuaded her to audition for the part. With a slightly rewritten audition script--Osgood Conklin, for example, was originally written as a school board president but was now written as the incoming new Madison principal--Arden agreed to give the newly-revamped show a try.
Produced by Larry Berns and written by director Al Lewis, Our Miss Brooks premiered on July 19, 1948. According to radio critic John Crosby, her lines were very feline in dialogue scenes with principal Conklin and would-be boyfriend Boynton, with sharp, witty comebacks. The interplay between the cast--blustery Conklin, nebbishy Denton, accommodating Harriet, absentminded Mrs. Davis, clueless Boynton, scheming Miss Enright--also received positive reviews.
Arden won a radio listeners' poll by Radio Mirror magazine as the top ranking comedienne of 1948-49, receiving her award at the end of an Our Miss Brooks broadcast that March. I'm certainly going to try in the coming months to merit the honor you've bestowed upon me, because I understand that if I win this two years in a row, I get to keep Mr. Boynton, she joked. But she was also a hit with the critics; a winter 1949 poll of newspaper and magazine radio editors taken by Motion Picture Daily named her the year's best radio comedienne.
For its entire radio life, the show was sponsored by Colgate-Palmolive-Peet, promoting Palmolive soap, Lustre Creme shampoo and Toni hair care products. The radio series continued until 1957, a year after its television life ended.
Calling All Cars: A Child Shall Lead Them / Weather Clear Track Fast / Day Stakeout
The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) is the police department of the city of Los Angeles, California.
The LAPD has been copiously fictionalized in numerous movies, novels and television shows throughout its history. The department has also been associated with a number of controversies, mainly concerned with racial animosity, police brutality and police corruption.
The radio show Calling All Cars hired LAPD radio dispacher Jesse Rosenquist to be the voice of the dispatcher. Rosenquist was already famous because home radios could tune into early police radio frequencies. As the first police radio dispatcher presented to the public ear, his was the voice that actors went to when called upon for a radio dispatcher role.
The iconic television series Dragnet, with LAPD Detective Joe Friday as the primary character, was the first major media representation of the department. Real LAPD operations inspired Jack Webb to create the series and close cooperation with department officers let him make it as realistic as possible, including authentic police equipment and sound recording on-site at the police station.
Due to Dragnet's popularity, LAPD Chief Parker became, after J. Edgar Hoover, the most well known and respected law enforcement official in the nation. In the 1960s, when the LAPD under Chief Thomas Reddin expanded its community relations division and began efforts to reach out to the African-American community, Dragnet followed suit with more emphasis on internal affairs and community policing than solving crimes, the show's previous mainstay.
Several prominent representations of the LAPD and its officers in television and film include Adam-12, Blue Streak, Blue Thunder, Boomtown, The Closer, Colors, Crash, Columbo, Dark Blue, Die Hard, End of Watch, Heat, Hollywood Homicide, Hunter, Internal Affairs, Jackie Brown, L.A. Confidential, Lakeview Terrace, Law & Order: Los Angeles, Life, Numb3rs, The Shield, Southland, Speed, Street Kings, SWAT, Training Day and the Lethal Weapon, Rush Hour and Terminator film series. The LAPD is also featured in the video games Midnight Club II, Midnight Club: Los Angeles, L.A. Noire and Call of Juarez: The Cartel.
The LAPD has also been the subject of numerous novels. Elizabeth Linington used the department as her backdrop in three different series written under three different names, perhaps the most popular being those novel featuring Det. Lt. Luis Mendoza, who was introduced in the Edgar-nominated Case Pending. Joseph Wambaugh, the son of a Pittsburgh policeman, spent fourteen years in the department, using his background to write novels with authentic fictional depictions of life in the LAPD. Wambaugh also created the Emmy-winning TV anthology series Police Story. Wambaugh was also a major influence on James Ellroy, who wrote several novels about the Department set during the 1940s and 1950s, the most famous of which are probably The Black Dahlia, fictionalizing the LAPD's most famous cold case, and L.A. Confidential, which was made into a film of the same name. Both the novel and the film chronicled mass-murder and corruption inside and outside the force during the Parker era. Critic Roger Ebert indicates that the film's characters (from the 1950s) represent the choices ahead for the LAPD: assisting Hollywood limelight, aggressive policing with relaxed ethics, and a straight arrow approach.
The Case of the White Kitten / Portrait of London / Star Boy
London is the capital city of England and the United Kingdom, the largest city, urban zone and metropolitan area in the United Kingdom, and the European Union by most measures.[note 1] Located on the River Thames, London has been a major settlement for two millennia, its history going back to its founding by the Romans, who named it Londinium.[3] London's ancient core, the City of London, largely retains its square-mile mediaeval boundaries. Since at least the 19th century, the name London has also referred to the metropolis developed around this core.[4] The bulk of this conurbation forms the London region[5] and the Greater London administrative area,[6][note 2] governed by the elected Mayor of London and the London Assembly.[7]
London is a leading global city, with strengths in the arts, commerce, education, entertainment, fashion, finance, healthcare, media, professional services, research and development, tourism and transport all contributing to its prominence.[8] It is the world's leading financial centre alongside New York City[9][10][11] and has the fifth- or sixth-largest metropolitan area GDP in the world depending on measurement.[note 3][12][13] London has been described as a world cultural capital.[14][15][16][17] It is the world's most-visited city measured by international arrivals[18] and has the world's largest city airport system measured by passenger traffic.[19] London's 43 universities form the largest concentration of higher education in Europe.[20] In 2012, London became the first city to host the modern Summer Olympic Games three times.[21]
London has a diverse range of peoples and cultures, and more than 300 languages are spoken within its boundaries.[22] In March 2011, London had an official population of 8,174,100, making it the most populous municipality in the European Union,[23][24] and accounting for 12.5% of the UK population.[25] The Greater London Urban Area is the second-largest in the EU with a population of 8,278,251,[26] while the London metropolitan area is the largest in the EU with an estimated total population of between 12 million[27] and 14 million.[28] London had the largest population of any city in the world from around 1831 to 1925.[29]. The latest census reveals white Britons as minority in London for first time in modern times. [30] London contains four World Heritage Sites: the Tower of London; Kew Gardens; the site comprising the Palace of Westminster, Westminster Abbey, and St Margaret's Church; and the historic settlement of Greenwich (in which the Royal Observatory marks the Prime Meridian, 0° longitude, and GMT).[31] Other famous landmarks include Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, Piccadilly Circus, St Paul's Cathedral, Tower Bridge, Trafalgar Square, and The Shard. London is home to numerous museums, galleries, libraries, sporting events and other cultural institutions, including the British Museum, National Gallery, Tate Modern, British Library, Wimbledon, and 40 West End theatres.[32] The London Underground is the oldest underground railway network in the world and will complete 150 years of operations on 9 January 2013.[33][34]
NYSTV - The Book of Enoch and Warning for The Final Generation (Is that us?) - Multi - Language
The book of Enoch is like looking into the future and the past at the same time. Archaeologists have only recovered fragments of The Book of Enoch. Only a few fragments of a few pages have been recovered (1 volume). But those fragments expose a whole new reality into creation, pan-dimensional beings, UFOs, cosmology, nature of the universe, nature of time and space and so much more.
There are 2 Enochs mentioned in the Bible.
1) Enoch Son of Cain aka Enoch the Evil
2) Enoch Son of Jared aka Enoch the Good
(as coined by researcher Gary Wayne read his Book The Genesis 6 Conspiracy for a mind blowing account of REAL History. )
Enoch the Good, Son of Jared is the one who wrote the Book of Enoch.
There are 5 sections in the Book of Enoch.
The Book of the Watchers
The Book of Parables of Enoch (aka The Similitudes of Enoch)
The Astronomical Book (aka The Book of the Heavenly Luminaries or Book of Luminaries)
The Book of Dream Visions (aka The Book of Dreams)
The Epistle of Enoch
Nobody is sure when the book of Enoch was first written, but it is rumored to be the first writings. Older than any Book in the Bible.
Out of the 365 volumes in the Book of Enoch, we only have fragments of one single volume that survived.
(A complete edition with all 365 volumes of The Book of Enoch was reportedly recovered and sold at an auction to a private collector, never to be seen again).
It should also be noted that there are three versions of the Book of Enoch: Ethiopian, Aramaic and Greek.
They are different and two are generally recognized as counterfeits.
Even though The Book of Enoch was written a very long time ago, it was specifically written for the LAST GENERATION on Earth. Only at THIS time (2019), could the book of Enoch be deciphered.
Here is a link to a translate copy of the Book of Enoch for those who haven't read it, yet.
The Book of Enoch bestows a Blessing from God to all those who read it. The only book in the world that claims to do so.
This video is a NYSTV presentation of why The Book of Enoch is truly is THE BOOK FOR THE FINAL GENERATION (cue dramatic music) Join David Carrico and Jon Pounders for an indepth look into the past and future.
On the the NYSTV subscription site, they have a video series where they review The Book of Enoch, line by line. So if you have't subscribed to NYSTV, you definitely should.
Also subscribe here, too! =).

Blockers
From the producers who brought you Neighbors and This Is the End, comes the outrageous comedy: Blockers. When three parents (John Cena, Leslie Mann and Ike Barinholtz) stumble upon their daughters' pact to lose their virginity at prom, they launch a covert one-night operation to stop the teens from sealing the deal.
