The Bake-kujira (化鯨, literally “ghost whale”) is a mythical Japanese yōkai (ghost, phantom, or strange apparition) from western Japan. It is supposedly a large ghostly skeleton whale and is said to be accompanied by strange birds and fish.

Max Renn, owner of a small cable television station, captures images of tortured and dead people.

“The confrontation between logging company Teal-Jones and forest defenders in court is the result of the ongoing failure of the provincial government to follow through on their promise and deliver solutions to protect globally rare and endangered old-growth forest like the spectacularly intact Fairy Creek rainforest in Pacheedaht territory,” said Sierra Club BC campaigner Jens Wieting in a statement Thursday.

Although this injunction has been granted, the defenders of Fairy Creek are not backing down, and are asking you to join the fight however you can.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
