Dogs, The Four Legged Spies Amongst Us! (Part 1)

Dogs, The Four Legged Spies Amongst Us! (Part 1)

If you think you really know your dog, that faithful loving canine companion, then you have been deceived. Trust me, your dog is not who you think he or she is at all, Your canine companion is actually one of the greatest charlatans on the planet and right now is watching your every move. But why, and who are they reporting to?

I have a dog, or it may be appropriate to say I have a handler, his name is; Homer, at least that’s what I call him. What he calls himself, or what his real name is, I have no way of knowing. Homer knows I am onto him. As I’m writing this, he is attempting to thwart my efforts to get the word out.

As many of you know I write articles for Profound Revelations several times a week. Homer, never cares what I’m writing about. he just lays there staring at me and watching my every move. But not this time. Homer is all over me, standing on me, licking me and  trying his best to prevent me from typing. Generally, he is trying his damnedest to prevent me from getting this vital information out to the rest of you.

Doe’s that mean that dogs can read? at this point, it seems obvious. Don’t worry I am going to soldier on the best I can, This information is much too important to mankind to allow Homer to stop me. I shall prevail no matter what obstacles Homer places in front of me.

Besides, I have a secret weapon. I temporally distracted him by giving him one of those Beggin-Strips fake bacon dog treats. Beggin-Strips are like dog crack cocaine, this is the only thing that will keep him occupied long enough, so I can finish this article, Lucky for me, I was prepared for this eventuality and just bought a whole new bag.

Before I forget, this is Homer.

Dogs, The Four Legged Spies Amongst Us!

Homer

Homer is a Rat- Terrier/dachshund mix and he weighs about 20 pounds. As you can plainly see he is watching me very carefully and he is observing every move I make. The real question is who are dog’s actually reporting to? Seriously, think about that for a moment.

I am not just talking about Homer like he is some sort of an enigma, Oh No! I am talking about ALL dogs. And, I have submissions from other dog owners to support my point, but more on these later.

Before we get any further, I know that there are cat lovers reading this and smirking with their fake smiles. Well, you can just get off or your high horse right now. Your cat couldn’t care less if you live or die just as long as it is fed every day, and its litter box is kept clean.

The main difference between a dog and a cat is; If you’re gone for a year, a cat acts like you have been gone for ten minutes, A dog, on the other hand, If you have been gone for 10 minutes, acts like you’ve been gone for a year.

Besides, when it comes to security, a cat leaves a lot to be desired. When a cat hears a noise, it runs and hides leaving you to fend for yourself. You know I’m right. I bet you’re not smirking now, are you? But, that’s OK, as this article is not a story about cats.

Let me back up and start from the beginning, so you can get a better handle on what I’m talking about. Basically, know thy enemy.

Dogs have been spying on mankind for thousands of years now. Some scientists believe that Dogs have been with us for up to 12,000 years. Their theory is that dogs descended from early wolves. I am not talking about the modern wolves. Dogs are not descended from modern wolves. Dogs are descended from a wolf that has since gone extinct.

I find this interesting that the only animal that we could have learned about modern dogs and where they came from, was the only link that has gone extinct. Do you think that modern dogs had anything to do with this? I do.

Obviously, dogs will do anything to keep us from discovering their true nature and their real mission in life. Unfortunately, the history of the modern dog has become shrouded in mystery, and lost in the mists of time.

Even though records of the distant past are extremely fragmented and somewhat mysterious here’s what little we do know…..

Unlike any other animal on earth, dogs are incredibly socialized to humans. Dogs can easily read our emotions, body language and even understand human speech. Did you know that dogs are one of the few animals that understand that if you point at something, they don’t look at your hand, they look at what you’re pointing to. It’s true. Not to mention that Homer just demonstrated that he can read as well. (Unless, God help me, he can actually read my mind).

But why, or who, or even what’s, behind these four-legged spies amongst us?

Let’s start from the beginning when we first receive our dog into our household. Most of us are naive enough to believe that we are the ones choosing a particular dog. This is a foolish and very wrong assumption.

In reality, dogs actually choose us. Let me explain, since dogs know exactly what we want, they modify their behavior to our individual wants and desires. You may find yourself walking through the local animal shelter looking for that perfect dog when suddenly you spot the one, whether it was those sad eyes, the clownish behavior or something else but in your mind, you found the perfect canine companion. You exclaim that’s the one! You joyfully take your little dog companion home and the rest is history.

Little did you know at the time, but the dog that your think you so lovingly chose as the perfect dog, actually chose you, or was assigned to you whatever the case may be. Unbeknownst to you, you just unwittingly invited a four-legged spy to live amongst you, and your family.

You bring the little fur ball home and you suddenly have so many decisions to make, not to mention expensive purchases like Dog toys, dog beds, shots, dog food, etc.

Part 1,  Dog food.

One of the first things you learn is dogs are not happy with just dog food, oh no! Your four-legged spy won’t just settle for anything you dump into its dog bowl. Sure they might eat what you put into their bowl, but they much prefer what you are eating. This is kind of strange for an animal that licks its own butt or the cat’s butt to be such a gourmet when it comes to food.

It’s obvious at this point that dogs are not what we always thought they were. Dogs are something far more. These four-legged spies amongst us are not just going to settle for plain old dog food, oh no these creatures are far more sophisticated than that. Take Homer for an example. Remember Homer? Here’s a photo I caught of him spying on the neighbors when he’s not spying on me.

Dogs, The Four Legged Spies Amongst Us!

Homer spying on the Neighbors

Homer eats everything from broccoli, mango, green beans, cauliflower, beef, pork, lamb, fish and whatever else we cook for ourselves. Well, except for shrimp which Homer feels the need to roll on them instead of eating them. On the other hand, Homer will readily eat….. alligator.

Let me explain, A work colleague gave me several pounds of alligator (which by the way he lawfully had a permit to kill and harvest). I cooked some up and Homer gave a bit to Homer, he went nuts. He loved it even more than his favorite snack; Beggin-Strips those smelly fake bacon dog treats.

Think about it, alligators couldn’t possibly be part of a dog’s normal diet.  Homer thought it was the best thing he ever tasted. Who knew?

Seriously, when was the last time you saw a dog tear-assing across a swamp and taking down a large alligator?

I ‘m not the only one who noticed that dogs have an unusual diet.

Kathy D, from Connecticut, submitted this for your consideration…

“I don’t know if I can say that my dogs are outwardly covert or sneaky, but they are certainly culinary snobs. From the first moment I had Boston Terriers, I can share that I have never eaten a meal alone. They have pretty much-sampled everything that I have ever eaten, barring chocolate. And it’s impossible not to share when they are staring at you and burning holes through you with their intent.

They are also, closeted caffeine addicts! Did you know that? In one such instance recently, I poured my usual giant mug of high-octane after waking up at 4:45 in the morning. When I left my warm and cozy bed, my dogs were sound asleep, cuddled and happy in their self- made, mostly stolen “pup cave.” I set my coffee down on the end table on the side of the sofa in my living room.

Stepping away for only a moment, I returned to an empty cup boasting a drop or two of coffee left – the heavenly scent still lingering in the air. At the other far end of the couch, I saw a couple of jittery and guilt-ridden puppy dogs, trying everything to help but look in my direction, as if to signal to me that criminals had broken into the house and unsuspectingly stolen said coffee… Which of course they gallantly defended against. Their puppy/coffee breath indicated otherwise. And of course, due to the fact that they are so sweet that they could send a diabetic into a coma, they got off, scot -free”.

Kathy’s dogs secretly drink coffee! Seriously, have you ever heard of dogs drinking coffee? This proves my point that there are far more to dogs than meets the eye.

I also believe that it is significant that Kathy was assigned three dogs! I know this is important,  but what I don’t know is why?  You see Kathy is a pillar of the community. More importantly, she is a Biologist and a science teacher in the public school system. Obviously, the dog overlords consider Kathy, or her occupation to be significant, maybe even threatening to the secret life of dogs.

On the other hand, as Tom Dye, The Safety Guy, I was only assigned one dog. But then again, I am not responsible for teaching young impressionable minds. Not to mention, I am not a Biologist either.

We will be exploring much more about what we know about the secret lives of dogs in the next installment of; Dogs, The Four Legged Spies Amongst us.

This Article Is Literally About Nothing!

This Article Is Literally About Nothing!

Astro-Physicists tell us that in the beginning there was literally nothing. Suddenly, the universe exploded into energy and light and became something. Nothing existed prior to that exact moment. This is what’s commonly known as the “Big Bang ” theory.

The problem is that not even Physicists can agree on the absolute definition of “nothing”. It’s probably safe to say that nothing is the complete absence of something.

I have a lot of experience with nothing, so obviously, I am an expert at nothing. So, now I am going to explain nothing, so everyone can understand nothing like I do.

Albert Einstein may have defined Special & General Relativity but I can assure you that Einstein or anybody else for that matter knows more about nothing than I do.

The basic concepts of nothing include:

  • Nothing can neither be created or destroyed. You still end up with absolutely nothing.
  • Nothing from nothing is still nothing.
  • You may believe that you have something, but, in reality, it is still nothing.
  • Something is just another facet of nothing.
  • The power of nothing should never be underestimated.

Before I was conceived I was 100% nothing. I only became something due to my parent’s metaphorical “big bang”, From nothing, I suddenly became something.

From my earliest childhood, it didn’t take me long to realize that I actually instinctively understood a lot about nothing. My entire life I have had nothing on my mind. People ask me all the time, what are you thinking about? or what are you doing? I inevitably reply, nothing.

Like I said, my fascination with nothing started as a very young child. I used to imagine something was under my bed, or something was in my closet. But, when I finally got the courage to actually check for myself,  I would look under the bed, or fling open the closet door, but every single time, nothing was there. From that point on I made it my life’s mission to understand nothing.

Nothing  prepared me for how things would be when I began Kindergarten, Elementary school, Junior Hgh School, High School, College, etc. Of course, I didn’t listen to anything that anyone else had to say. Nobody knew nothing like I did.  I finally thought that I was onto something, but ultimately, I finally realized that it was nothing.

When I started my chosen career path I finally knew almost nothing. But you know what, they hired me anyway, which means that I knew more than nothing at all.

I have had many times in life where all I had was nothing. Every time, I thought I had something, I would suddenly realize that I actually had nothing to show for it.

As I get older in life, I realize that nothing really matters. Sometimes, I have nothing to say, and that’s a good thing. Nothing, anyone says will sway my core beliefs.  I began with nothing, became something, and I will certainly return to nothing at all.

Finally, when I have nothing but great memories to look back on. I will always cherish all the sweet nothings that I have had whispered in my ear over the years. Something tells me that nothing else matters. Nothing may someday be used against me. But you know what? Something tells me that I have nothing to fear.

If you embrace nothing at all, You might have everything or more than likely nothing at all. Only you can decide.

If you have nothing to say or nothing to share, then you have nothing to use against me, nothing at all.

Nothing else really matters.

Nothing says it better than this, but I will give it my best shot. You just spent several minutes of your reading about nothing and you still have nothing to show for it. Hopefully, you now know more about nothing than you did before you started and that would be really something.

As Always,

I Am…

Killer Squirrel Attacks And Injuries Seniors At Florida Retirement Home {UPDATED}

Killer Squirrel Attacks And Injuries Seniors At Florida Retirement Home. {UPDATED}

It’s finally begun, The squirrels are turning against us!  If you don’t take precautions now, what happened to these innocent elderly people could very well happen to you.

Make no mistake about it, my friends, Florida has become “ground zero” in the greatest existential threat to mankind that we have ever faced.

There are incoming, sporadic reports starting to come in from around the country about similar attacks by killer squirrels taking place all across America.

Before the previously lovable and comical squirrels finally get organized enough to cut off my internet connection, I strongly suggest that you print this, send it to friends, and loved ones, or just get a pen and paper to take notes.

As Tom Dye, The Safety Guy, I feel it is my solemn duty to give you all the information you need to protect yourselves, your friends, as well as loved ones from the upcoming squirrel apocalypse.

Here’s what we know so far………………

On Thursday, at the Sterling Court Retirement Community in Deltona, Florida a killer squirrel viciously attacked several elderly people. This unprovoked terrorist squirrel attack started outside the building where the squirrel launched itself at an elderly man and started to viciously bite and scratch him.

This brave elderly man managed to somehow grab onto the rampaging bloodthirsty squirrel and fling it away. Unfortunately, in his struggle, he accidently flung the squirrel right into the building. This is the moment when the real reign of terror began.

Once the bloodthirsty terrorist squirrel gained access to the inside of the building, it made a beeline for the activity room where several elderly people were located blissfully unaware of the horrific attack that was about to begin.

The squirrel filled with bloodthirsty rage burst into the activity room and began jumping on the innocent elderly victims one by one, biting and scratching each one that it could manage to sink it’s teeth into.

Just so you can fully appreciate the magnitude of the terror inflicted on these innocent elderly victims, here’s a link to the audio recording of the actual 911 call. To listen to it,  Click Here.

Somehow, at some point during the attack, at least one of the elderly victims managed to get the upper hand on the killer squirrel and eject it from the building. His or her, brave actions prevented further bloodshed, and undoubtedly saved the lives of several people.

However, As of my press deadline, the facts remain unclear as to the exact sequence of events.

So, why have squirrels suddenly turned upon us?

Looking back at it, this has actually been coming to a head for quite some time. It happened so subtly, that I just wasn’t able to put the pieces together until now. There were a lot of little things, seemingly just random events that should have been a glaring warning to me. But with recent events I now know for certain.

First of all, the usual clownish behavior of the normal squirrels running back and forth and jumping from tree to tree were slowly replaced with squirrels that would just sit there and stare at me.  I don’t mean just stare, I mean that pure evil type of malevolent stare of a serial killer. Here’s an example.

Killer Squirrel

Killer Squirrel

It’s not only that. My dog Homer, who is half Rat Terrier, has always barked at and even chased squirrels his entire life. Recently, he suddenly stopped doing that. When he sees one of these killer squirrels, he just looks at them and slinks back into the house. No barking and certainly no chasing them. I just assumed that his behavior was just because he was getting old. Now I know better.

There have also been isolated reports of squirrels attacking and eating birds, rats, mice and other small animals Vs. their usual diet of raiding bird feeders for seeds and collecting acorns. I never gave much credence to these reports until now.

Here’s a photo to prove it. I didn’t believe it before, but I do now.

squirrel-eating-a-bird

So why now? What changed?

I have some theories, This dire situation may be a result of one or a combination of factors.

  • Pollution – As an example, several months ago millions of polluted and slightly radioactive water was released into the Florida aquifer from a giant sinkhole under a holding pond at a Florida phosphate plant. There have been reports of wide-spread pollution in other States as well.
  • Climate Change – A warming planet could be impacting the squirrel’s  natural food supply of bird seed, nuts, and acorns.
  • Technology – Let’s face it for all of us who maintain bird feeders squirrels are the bane of our existence. Squirrels have normally been able to get to the birdseed no matter what precautions we may have taken. However, with new technology advancements in bird feeders squirrels have now been cut off from this main food source. This as well as new squirrel repellents have caused a tremendous amount of stress in squirrel populations.
  • Urban Deforestation – This is actually related to climate change. Old growth oak trees are dying off at an alarming rate. The ones that are still thriving are producing far fewer acorns than in previous years.
  • Political Climate – Squirrels have been demonized in recent years for digging in people’s well-manicured lawns, stealing bird food, and damaging crops. A few “bad” squirrels have caused the entire species to get a bad name. The deeds of a few bad actors have impacted the entire squirrel community. This trend will only continue in our politically polarized and divisive political environment.

Or, it could be something else entirely. Until more scientific research is done we have no way to know for certain. So far, the mainstream media isn’t even reporting these insidious attacks by our former friends and four legged furry allies, the squirrels.

But, all is not lost my friends, there are ways to protect ourselves from these bloodthirsty squirrels hell-bent on attacking and eventually eradicating mankind.

This is the point where you need to have a pen and paper handy to take notes. Don’t worry, I can wait. Go get them now……………………………….

So far, the killer bloodthirsty squirrels have only attacked what is known in the counter-terrorism community as “soft targets”. The elderly, small children and pets all fall into this category. Mark my words, this will change, as time goes on.

This was a serious miscalculation on the squirrels part. For now that the squirrels have shown their hand, we can take precautions to protect ourselves, friends, and family. Here are seven things that you need to do right now.

  1. First and foremost, let’s not lose sight of the fact that we are like 500 times larger than the average squirrel. This is one of our greatest advantages.
  2. Squirrels are essentially daytime creatures and hide at night. Use this to your advantage. Try to limit your travels during the day, and venture outside only during the night-time hours. For many of us, this is not very much of an option.
  3. Use “situational awareness” of your surroundings. In simple terms pay attention to your surroundings. look out your front door and windows. Do you see any squirrels in your yard? is there a strange absence of birds or other small animals in your vicinity? If so, you need to take extreme precautions. If you absolutely have to leave the house, just toss some raw chicken as far from your front or back door as possible. This should distract the killer squirrels long enough for you to get from your door to the car or mailbox etc.
  4. Take common sense precautions. Make sure that you keep the windows, doors, and other openings tightly closed in both your home and your vehicles. A squirrel can enter a hole as small as 1-1/2″ in diameter. You certainly don’t want to be vulnerable to an attack in an enclosed space where your options for self-defense are severely limited.
  5. Wear protective clothing. Kevlar, oil cloth or leather are good options to prevent injuries from a squirrel attack. Be sure to protect your fingers, nose, neck, face, ears and your lower extremities.
  6. When venturing outside, always carry a stick, a golf club, baseball bat, etc. to fend off marauding killer squirrels. Take whatever actions are necessary to fend off their bloodthirsty attacks. Don’t turn your back on them and keep direct eye contact so you can anticipate their next move.
  7. Travel in numbers whenever possible. Just like animals in the wild, the predator always tries to attack the “lone” sick, injured, old, or young. There is always safety in numbers.

Until the; States, and Federal Government, finally acknowledges that this is a serious threat to humanity, it is up to us patriots to spread the word and try our best to eradicate this threat to all of us.

UPDATE: 11/26/2016 – The terrorist squirrels have now spread their terror well beyond Florida and now have begun attacking those who have spoken out against them.

Howard Brookins Jr.,  Alderman for Chicago’s 21st ward went on a public tirade about “terrorist squirrels,” he couldn’t have known that b y speaking out that he would become the next target of these little tiny terrorists. 

On Nov. 13, the alderman found himself in the hospital with a skull fracture and several other injuries after a suicide bomber squirrel leaped into the path of Brookins’ bike, wrapping itself in the spokes and causing him to flip over the handlebars. Alderman Brookins is very lucky to be alive.

“I can think of no other reason for this squirrel’s actions than it was a terrorist squirrel suicide bomber, getting revenge,” Brookins told the Tribune.

Some outlets, like the Chicago Sun Times, covered the incident but simply referred to it as a “freak accident,” apparently afraid to call radical squirrel terrorism by name. 

But as Tom Dye, The Safety Guy I am not afraid to call it for what it is and I will keep reporting on it for as long as I am able to. 

Warning the following photo contains an image of a dead terrorist squirrel.

Only by working together can we be the vanguards of humankind, the fifth column,  the Thomas Paine’s of society. We are obligated to; defend, warn, and protect, our fellow human beings.

We will not go quietly into the night, we will not go down without a fight, we are going to live on, we are going to survive. We will fight this terrible menace and we shall prevail.

 

Whose with me?

As Always,

I Am….
