Colbert: Zombies Are Intellectual Elites – ‘All They Care About Is Braiiiiiiins’

College student eating a housemate’s heart? Homeless man eating another homeless man’s face? Porn star sending body parts to government members? “Cannibalism is the hot new trend,” observed Stephen Colbert on last night’s Colbert Report. “And you thought saggy pants were annoying.” The recent spate of these freak incidents in the news has wide swathes of the American public convinced we have a zombie apocalypse on our hands. “It does make one wonder,” Colbert said. “After all, something has clearly eaten [Fox News host] Trace Gallagher’s brain.”

So it came as a relief when the federal Centers for Disease control on June 1 told the Huffington Post that “CDC does not know of a virus or condition that would reanimate the dead (or one that would present zombie-like symptoms).” Colbert was not buying it, though, especially in light of a (tongue-in-cheek”) CDC “zombie awareness” campaign last year. “It makes sense that zombies would be attracted to science,” he said. “I mean, they’re intellectual elites. All they care about is braaaaaiiiiiinnnnns.”

 

ZOMBIE OUTBREAK CONTINUES – cannibal eats baby’s body parts

It looks like the real-life “zombie apocalypse” horror continues as now a San Antonio mother is accused of killing her baby son and eating some of his body parts. The crime allegedly happened early Sunday when the mom is believed to have used a knife and two swords in the killing and cannibal attack.

San Antonio police aren’t saying much about the horrific act, but the infant’s mom — Otty Sanchez — is accused of beheading her three-week-old baby, Scott Wesley Buchholtz-Sanchez, and eating some of his body parts. She munched on portions of his brain and bit off three of his toes were she stabbed herself twice. She’s said to have killed her baby at the “devil’s request.”

San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said the crime is “too heinous” to disclose more information than that.

Sanchez is being held on $1 million bail and is charged with capital murder. She’s currently recovering from her stab wounds at a local hospital.

Cannibal attacks and the zombie apocalypse fear are valid concerns with the number of gruesome incidents that have taken place the last week-and-a-half. The Miami cannibal attack, Maryland cannibal, and a Canadian porn star killer have set the scare in motion. Will the world see more of these crimes with the amount of attention it’s getting in pop culture?

THE DEAD SHALL RISE – Vampire skeletons discovery comes after zombie apocalypse scare

A discovery of vampire skeletons by scientists were found in Bulgaria. New of this comes on the heels of a bizarre zombie apocalypse scare from last week.

Archaeologists believe they’ve discovered centuries-old skeletons that were pinned down with iron rods going through their chests. It was a ritual done to the dead so they wouldn’t turn into vampires, FOX reports. The practice occurred in certain parts of Bulgaria and continued up until the turn of the last century.

Two skulls were found over the weekend near the Black Sea town of Sozopol in Bulgaria.

At the time time there was superstition that those who did evil when they were alive, would return from the dead and feast on the living’s blood. This prompted the hammering of iron rods through the dead’s chest bones and hearts.

Over 100 corpses around Bulgaria have been found stabbed as a way to prevent them from becoming vampires.

The latest news is a slight distraction from the horrific zombie apocalypse-like incidents that took place throughout the U.S. and Canada last week. At least this discovery is about skeletons, archaic beliefs, and traditional practices of the old ages. It’s seemingly less shocking compared to cannibalism!

Zombie Apocalypse and the ‘bath salts’ link: 34 states already impacted per DEA

Zombie Apocalypse hasn't reached Sydney's shores as of today, except in the form of those who pretend to be driven by demons rather than drugs.The zombie apocalypse that America and Canada is said to be experiencing this week due to ‘bath salts’ didn’t happen overnight, as some might think.

In fact, news released on Friday show that this law enforcement problem has been occurring around the country long before the Causeway cannibal face-eating attack in Miami, or the other cannibalistic acts in California, Canada or Maryland. In fact, law enforcement and medical personnel in as many as 34 states have been battling this growing ‘zombie apocalypse’ drug problem for quite some time.

The United States Drug Enforcement Agency really started to sit up and take notice of synthetic designer drugs in 2009, when so-called “fake pot” began making the rounds under the names K-2 and Spice, among others. Two reports about one of the key drugs in that product caught the DEA’s attention that year.

And thanks to poison control centers and hospitals joining law enforcement in making reports to the DEA, about the increases they began to see in those using the so-called “fake pot” products, a better picture began to emerge of the dangers currently being seen now, allegedly.

Reports of anxiety attacks, convulsions, elevated heart rates, increased blood pressure, as well as disorientation were being experienced in growing numbers. And fortunately 16 states listened up and took the necessary action to control those so-called fake pot drugs. But that was just the beginning, with recreational drugs known as ‘bath salts’ soon following.

By 2010 a key drug in both products had brought as many as 338 cases to their attention. Those numbers jumped in less than a year in 2011, when 911 cases were noted, and the problem had grown to impact as many as 34 states.

Almost one year ago this month, the New York Division of the DEA, under the leadership of Special Agent in Charge John Gilbride, finally took down a major ‘bath salts’ distributor, hoping to curb the recreational drug availability that is used at raves and as a recreational drug.

The dangerous substance is purchased at retail shops, gas stations and other businesses due to being labeled deceptively as bath salts, which are given many different names, including “Aura,” “Goodfellas,” “Ivory Wave,” “Russian River” and “Xtreme,” though there are many more names used as well.

The drug is typically snorted as powder or taken as a pill, according to the DEA. It is also injected intravenously and smoked by users who experience symptoms that range from panic attacks and increased heart rates to delusions and psychotic episodes. And if the toxicology screen in Miami comes back to reveal bath salts in the MacArthur “Causeway cannibal” attack, the adverse effects experienced will grow to include face-eating among other things.

By September of 2011, the DEA had heard enough negative reports on the adverse symptoms being experienced by those using the fake bath salts products labeled “Not for human consumption” that they immediately exercised their authority to control the three drugs most concerning: Mephedrone, MDPV and Methylone.

And they were not alone, as 33 states had now grown concerned enough to either ban or control the products containing these substances, which are usually labeled as “bath salts” or “plant food.” Five short months later, in February of this year, the DEA extended their control of this dangerous group of chemicals by six months, which by the way, is also in the so-called “fake Pot” products.

Miami’s face-eating attacker Rudy Eugene was said to be hooked on marijuana by one of his friends. It is unclear if he was possibly using the so-called “fake pot” that contains this dangerous drug under the watchful eye of the DEA or if it was a ‘bath salts’ product instead that may have resulted in the horrific zombie like attack on Ronald Poppo.

OUR GOVERNMENT IS LYING – CDC denies rumors of zombie apocalypse

CDC denies rumors of zombie apocalypse

With reports of flesh-eating coming in from across the nation, rumors of a possible zombie outbreak are spreading on the Internet — but do you really have anything to worry about?

On Sunday, a New Jersey man sliced his belly open and began throwing pieces of his intestines at police. On Monday, a Miami man was shot to death by cops while eating the face of a homeless man. Then, on Tuesday, a Maryland man admitted to dismembering his roommate and eating his heart and brain.
With all these bizarre incidents occurring within a matter of days, it’s no wonder that “zombie apocalypse” has been one of Google’s most popular search terms this week. However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says we have nothing to worry about.
“The CDC does not know of a virus or condition that would reanimate the dead (or one that would present zombie-like symptoms),” wrote agency spokesman David Daigle in an email to The Huffington Post.
Daigle dismissed the idea of a “zombie virus,” noting that a variety of agents have triggered so-called zombie apocalypses in movies.
“Films have included radiation as well as mutations of existing conditions such as prions, mad-cow disease, measles and rabies,” he said.
Still, with all the flesh-eating incidents in the news, the Internet will likely be abuzz with zombie rumors for a while. In addition to the aforementioned incidents, police in Canada are searching for a porn actor who allegedly killed a man, dismembered him and ate his flesh. And earlier this week Gawker pointed to the breakout of a “mysterious rash” in Hollywood, Fla., as proof of a zombie virus.
Although the CDC insists that zombies aren’t real, its website lists tongue-and-cheek zombie-preparedness tips, noting that “if you are generally well equipped to deal with a zombie apocalypse you will be prepared for a hurricane, pandemic, earthquake or terrorist attack.”
