A new suicide game for teens goes viral.
Your Android smartphone may be spying on you, and the smartest man in the world says we've
got a hundred years to escape the Earth, or else.
It's Skywatch TV for Tuesday, May 9th, 2017.

First up, President Donald Trump says he'll visit Israel as part of his first foreign trip
as commander-in-chief.
This trip includes Saudi Arabia, then Israel, then on to Italy.
He should be in Israel on May 22nd and 23rd.
He's expected to make his main speech at the historic landmark of Masada.
President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin talked by phone last Tuesday, one of
the topics of conversation, Russia's plan for de-escalation zones in Syria, in place
of the American security zones proposal.
The Russian plan would include Iranian military officers serving as co-monitors for these zones,
one of which, as you can see, is right on the Syrian border with Israel.
Israel apparently concerned that President Trump didn't reject the idea out of hand,
that now who government has made it clear to both Washington and Moscow that it will
not tolerate an Iranian military presence of any kind on its border.
A former Obama administration official in the Department of Homeland Security said Sunday
that when it comes to the Islamic State slaughtering Egyptian Christians, what goes around comes
around.
In a tweet posted Sunday, Mohammed El-Ibiari, who was formerly a member of the Department
of Homeland Security's advisory council, praised Allah for the fact that ISIS is killing
Egyptian Christians as a parent retribution for Coptic leaders allegedly doing the same
to members of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.
The Obama administration let El-Ibiari go from his post at DHS in September of 2014.
El-Ibiari has a history of inflammatory remarks, including statements that the return of the
caliphate is inevitable and that America is an Islamic country with an Islamically compliant
constitution.
World renowned physicist Stephen Hawking says, we just got a hundred years to escape
the earth.
And he's been talking about imminent doom on earth for the human race for quite some
time now.
On multiple occasions, he said that if aliens were to find earth, they would likely behave
like colonialists the way Europeans did with Africa and Asia.
Hawking also warned that it's just a matter of time before something out of our control
destroys the earth and as a result, he wants us to colonize the moon and Mars.
Not put all of our eggs in one planetary basket, basically.
Keeping up with his warnings, he's got a new documentary coming out.
Stephen Hawking, Expedition New Earth, argues that humans should make their escape as soon
as possible, preferably within the next hundred years if we want to have any chance of survival
as a species.
Here on earth, for those of us who are going to stay for a while, keep our eyes on the economy,
sales took a drop in the month of April as the debt bubble apparently beginning to collapse.
As you can see by the chart here, consumer debt as far as auto loans are concerned have
been skyrocketing since, well, especially since 2007-2008.
But sales figures for April were down for every major U.S. auto manufacturer and year-over-year
compared to last April, down across the board as well.
Why?
Well, the growth that we saw in sales primarily fueled by subprime lending, yeah, subprime
loans are a thing in the auto industry just like they were with mortgages.
And you remember what happened when the subprime bubble in mortgages collapsed in 070809, yeah,
sales figures for April, the last bit of that trend line there going in the wrong direction.
If auto sales fall when manufacturers are offering crazy deals like subprime auto loans, because
that's what they are, loans to people who really shouldn't be borrowing money, then
we're in trouble.
And then if those loans start going into default as people can't make payments, instead of
repaying this boatload of money that we've borrowed, then the rest of the economy is
likely to follow that same trend line.
Your Android phone may be listening to you, well, actually listening for ultrasonic advertising
beacons without your knowledge and reporting back to somebody somewhere about what you're
listening to or where you are or both.
The apps silently listen for ultrasonic sounds that marketers can use as high-tech beacons
while watching television commercials.
The app developer called Silverpush was caught at this a year ago.
They promised to stop making the app, but a survey of apps in the Google Play Store found
that it's being used more frequently than ever.
More than 200 apps that have been downloaded millions of times from the Google Play Store
feature the technology embedded in the app.
Now although the researchers who found this app inside the app couldn't find any advertising
beacons with the signal that they're listening for, they say that trying to find those beacons
is like looking for a needle in a haystack, so it doesn't mean they're not being used.
Furthermore, the fact that the app is being used more frequently, the listening app, means
the practice could become widespread very quickly in the near future.
Now the researchers checked through about 1.3 million Android apps that have been submitted
to a file scanning service that looks for viruses.
That's how they found these apps.
But because they were only looking at Android apps, tells us nothing about how many iOS apps,
iPhone, iPad, iPod, how many of those have similar software loaded.
Probably a good idea to check your phone and see which apps have access to the microphone.
But I'll be honest, I'm going to have to look up instructions to find out how to do it myself.
Coming up, the Satanic Temple gets permission to build a monument in a park dedicated to
military veterans in Minnesota.

Officials in Bell Plains, Minnesota have agreed to allow the Satanic Temple to erect a monument
in its Veterans Park.
The group applied for inclusion after a limited public forum was created in the park to allow
a cross-grave marker that had upset some atheists.
One began last year after the Bell Plain Veterans Club placed a memorial in the park, showed
a soldier kneeling in front of a cross tombstone.
It was next to an inscribed stone honoring veterans, local residents who died in battle,
going all the way back to the Indian War of 1862.
But the Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation contended that inclusion of the
cross promoted Christianity and because it was on city property could be construed as
government endorsement of a particular religion.
So the city met decided to cut the cross off the display while that upset other area residents.
So the city council met again, decided to create a free speech zone inside the park,
which I might add is a bad precedent if we have to have specially designated free speech
zones in this country where we're supposed to have free speech protected by the Constitution.
Anyway, this was a legal path to getting the cross back in the park because now the
cross only represented the people who put it there, the veterans club, not the city of
Bell Plains.
Anyway, this opened the door, of course, for the Satanic Temple, which is always looking
for opportunities like this.
It's run by an atheist, Doug Mezner is his name, goes by Lucian Greaves in the press,
master at manipulating the media.
At least the reporter here understood that the Satanic Temple is not actually a group
of Satanists, although ironically, by rejecting the existence of God, the God of the Bible
and his son Jesus Christ, and by asking other people to reject God, they are in fact doing
the work of the very entity that they claim not to believe in.
They'll find out someday.
In Canada, the Niagara Catholic District School Board canceled a touring play called
Boys, Girls, and Other Mythological Creatures at five of their elementary schools last week.
The director of a St. Catherine's Theater for Young Audiences is upset, posted an open
letter on the group's website asking why within 48 hours did all five of the elementary
schools suddenly develop scheduling conflicts.
Well, the play is about an eight-year-old boy named Simon slash Simone, who feels boxed
in by traditional gender definitions.
The play aimed at grades one through four, perhaps the Catholic School Board determined
that it just was not appropriate for grades one through four.
This is likely to become another flash point in a growing debate in Ontario over the Liberal
government's changes to the physical education curriculum there changed in 2015 to introduce
concepts such as gender identity as early as grade three.
By the way, school district very close to Buffalo, New York, just across the border
from Niagara Falls.
A Florida man who federal prosecutors say was the creator and lead administrator of what
is reportedly the world's largest child pornography site was sentenced to 30 years in prison Friday.
Stephen W. Chase of Naples, Florida handed down the sentence after he was convicted of
multiple child porn and child exploitation charges.
The FBI said Chase had created a website called Playpen that was available through the Open
Internet Network Tour where anonymous users could access the contents.
The site had more than 150,000 users worldwide.
Authorities in the UK asking parents to keep a close watch on their teens following the
release of an online game called The Blue Whale Challenge which encourages participants
to take their own lives.
The newspaper The Express reported that the disturbing game originated in Russia reportedly
the cause of a number of teen deaths through suicide.
The group behind the game issues challenges to players, challenges that must be performed
or met within 50 days, begins with just the frightening such as watching scary movies but
eventually ramps up to self-harm and culminating in suicide.
For seven weeks, hundreds upon hundreds of leopard sharks have been washing up dead on
the shores of San Francisco Bay.
Similar thing happened back in 2011 and there have been reports of similar die-offs going
all the way back to 1967.
Necropsies have found that the sharks mainly died from infections that's normally caused
by dirty or polluted water.
San Francisco Bay is fairly clean which leads to the question, you know, begs the question
then what is responsible?
There's some who believe that a community south of San Francisco is causing the problem
through the use of its floodgates.
There are other marine animals who are being affected, manta rays, halibut but main victims
so far, leopard sharks and the question still not definitively answered.
In Kenya, northern Kenya, farmers there dealing with a massive loss of livestock due to heavy
rains recently and estimated 18,000 head of cattle washed away.
This comes after severe drought that's left hundreds of head of livestock dead due to
starvation.
According to a resident in northern Kenya, this is the worst economic loss the region
has ever experienced.
Finally, even though there's not much room at the hotel California, the rock group the
Eagles has sued the hotel anyway.
It's an 11 room hotel in Baja California, that's Mexico of course, sued for using the
group's song title without its permission.
The problem is the hotel existed 25 years before the song.
So while you can argue that the hotel didn't inspire the song, you can't argue that the
song inspired the hotel.
Founder broke ground on the hotel in 1947, the same year that band members Don Henley,
Timothy B. Schmidt, Joe Walsh, Bernie Lieden and Don Felder were born.
Hotel opened in 1950.
His founder was a Chinese immigrant named Mr. Wong who tried to fit in by changing his
name to Don Antonio Tabasco.
Locals weren't fooled, they just called him El Chino which basically means the Chinese
guy.
The hotel's website, which by the way the hotel currently owned by a Canadian fellow
named John Stewart, says the present owners of the hotel do not have any affiliation with
the Eagles nor do they promote any association.
Couple of weekends ago we had flooding here in the Ozarks, made it a little difficult
