Media News
News coverage of events that maybe relevant to evolutionary change requires additional effort to find, examine and provide some kind of quality analysis. Therefore, it is the policy of SI.net to only recommend websites that are known to provide a clearing house of excellent and/or award winning coverage, most relevant to evolutionary change. A selection of articles from the 'News of the Imbalance', is provided as there is also commentary and analysis by Susan Joy Rennison, Founder Member, that seeks to give a spiritual and metaphysical perspective.

News of the Imbalance &mdash 2008
Purple squirrel baffles experts A purple squirrel which appeared at a school has baffled experts who are unable to explain its colour. The Telegraph, 22nd December 2008 "Teachers and pupils at Meoncross School in Stubbington, Hants, were amazed when they saw the creature through the window during a lesson. Since the squirrel, now nicknamed Pete, was first seen, it has become a regular fixture at the school but no one has been able to say whether the animal has fallen into purple paint, had a run-in with some purple dye, or whether there is another explanation. [...] "Its fur actually looks purple all the way through. It's an absolute mystery." Comment: Yes, our reality is really starting to morph.... more baffled experts? Alice in Wonderland time? Someone needs to catch this squirrel and check out it's DNA. It's no surprise the Chinese have taken a great interest, they are the world's no.1 hotspot for bizareness with even household cats growing wings.... Magnetic Field Hole Could Cripple Communications Fox News, 19th December 2008 "Scientists have found two large leaks in Earth's magnetosphere, the region around our planet that shields us from severe solar storms. The leaks are defying many of scientists' previous ideas on how the interaction between Earth's magnetosphere and solar wind occurs: The leaks are in an unexpected location, let in solar particles in faster than expected and the whole interaction works in a manner that is completely the opposite of what scientists had thought. The findings have implications for how solar storms affect the our planet. Serious storms, which involved charged particles spewing from the sun, can disable satellites and even disrupt power grids on Earth." Comment: There is a MASSIVE HOLE in the roof of the world and it's just about to start raining heavily [Space Weather]. A Giant Breach in Earth's Magnetic Field NASA News, 16th December 2008 NASA's five THEMIS spacecraft have discovered a breach in Earth's magnetic field ten times larger than anything previously thought to exist. Solar wind can flow in through the opening to "load up" the magnetosphere for powerful geomagnetic storms. But the breach itself is not the biggest surprise. Researchers are even more amazed at the strange and unexpected way it forms, overturning long-held ideas of space physics. [...] "This finding fundamentally alters our understanding of the solar wind-magnetosphere interaction. [...] "The opening was huge—four times wider than Earth itself," says Wenhui Li, a space physicist at the University of New Hampshire who has been analyzing the data. Li's colleague Jimmy Raeder, also of New Hampshire, says "10^27 particles per second were flowing into the magnetosphere—that's a 1 followed by 27 zeros. This kind of influx is an order of magnitude greater than what we thought was possible." [...] "We're entering Solar Cycle 24. For reasons not fully understood, CMEs in even-numbered solar cycles (like 24) tend to hit Earth with a leading edge that is magnetized north. Such a CME should open a breach and load the magnetosphere with plasma just before the storm gets underway. It's the perfect sequence for a really big event." Sibeck agrees. "This could result in stronger geomagnetic storms than we have seen in many years."" Comment: Gaia is letting down her defences to cosmic forces! It's now SHIELDS DOWN! Here it seems the Earth's magnetic field is not providing the expected defence against Space Weather, but instead opening up a HUGE hole to space weather thereby accelerating evolutionary change. The date of this discovery in June 2007 during solar minimum, is particularly interesting as that coincides with metaphysical predictions of a MASSIVE exponential increase in evolutionary energies.... Boundary Between Earth's Upper Atmosphere And Space Has Moved To Extraordinarily Low Altitudes, NASA Instruments Document Science Daily, 16th December 2008 "Observations made by NASA instruments onboard an Air Force satellite have shown that the boundary between the Earth's upper atmosphere and space has moved to extraordinarily low altitudes. These observations were made by the Coupled Ion Neutral Dynamics Investigation (CINDI) instrument suite, which was launched aboard the U.S. Air Force's Communication/Navigation Outage Forecast System (C/NOFS) satellite on April 16, 2008. [...] CINDI's first discovery was, however, that the ionosphere was not where it had been expected to be. During the first months of CINDI operations the transition between the ionosphere and space was found to be at about 260 miles (420 km) altitude during the nighttime, barely rising above 500 miles (800 km) during the day. These altitudes were extraordinarily low compared with the more typical values of 400 miles (640 km) during the nighttime and 600 miles (960 km) during the day. Comment: The ionosphere can be compared to the Earth's skin providing us with some protection against direct cosmic influences, so it seems this is another layer of Earth's defence that is 'evaporating'. Certainly, with the numerous atmospheric and geomagnetic changes taking place, there can be no doubt, that all life on Earth will be getting a thorough cosmic inspection. Lightning-Storm Gamma Rays Could Harm Air Travelers Wired Science, 15th December 2008 "SAN FRANCISCO, California — The most energetic particles in the electromagnetic spectrum could pose a danger to commercial airline passengers. About every 3000 hours of flying time, a plane is hit with a bolt of lightning. Recently, spacecraft have found gamma rays can be created by thunder storms, and according to new research presented at the American Geophysical Union annual meeting this week, the rays could be intense enough to cause radiation sickness. "Everywhere we look, we're seeing x-rays and gamma rays flying out of thunderstorms and lightning," said Joseph Dwyer, a physicist at the Florida Institute of Technology and lead author of the study. "The gamma rays coming out of thunderstorms are so intense we can measure these 600 kilometers away and so bright that it almost blinds the spacecraft." Comment: Airline passengers could start getting radiation sickness? In my book Tuning the Diamonds, I wrote a section called "Extreme Physics Right here on Earth", but at that time, scientists were only prepared to tell us that gamma-rays from Terrestrial Gamma Ray Flashes (TGFs) were being launched into space from the Earth's upper atmosphere, maybe something has changed in the short period from reports back in February 2005. Green-on-Green Violence Junk Science, 4th December 2008 "The activist group Environmental Defense got a taste of what it used to dish out this week when its Washington, D.C., offices were invaded by another green group, the Global Justice Ecology Project. The Global Justice Ecology Project (GJEP) essentially accused Environmental Defense (ED) of collaborating with the enemy -- big businesses that want cap-and-trade global warming legislation. Noting that her father was one of ED's founders, GJEP head Rachel Smolker said she was now "ashamed" of ED because it advocated cap-and-trade. Smolker said that the European version of cap-and-trade, the Kyoto Protocol, had "utterly failed" to reduce emissions and served "only to provide huge profits for the world's most polluting industries." [...] "Instead of protecting the environment, ED now seems primarily concerned with protecting corporate bottom lines. I can hear my father rolling over in his grave," Smolker said. The GJEP activists who took over ED's offices rearranged the furniture to illustrate how cap-and-trade is "like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic," and sported signs that read "Keep the cap, ditch the trade" and "Carbon trading is an environmental offense." " Comment: Hmmm.... this is going to get very interesting, as the rise of consciousness continues... Want To Be Happier? Be More Grateful Science Daily, 27th November 2008 "Want to quickly improve your happiness and satisfaction with life? Then the pen may be a mighty weapon, according to research done by Kent State University's Dr. Steven Toepfer." ...Toepfer enlisted students from six courses to explore the effects of writing letters of gratitude to people who had positively impacted the students' lives. Over the course of a six-week period, students wrote one letter every two weeks with the simple ground rules that it had to be positively expressive, required some insight and reflection, were nontrivial and contained a high level of appreciation or gratitude. After each letter, students completed a survey to gauge their moods, satisfaction with life and feelings of gratitude and happiness. "I saw their happiness increase after each letter, meaning the more they wrote, the better they felt," says Toepfer, who also witnessed improvement in participants' life satisfaction and gratitude throughout the study. "The most powerful thing in our lives is our social network. It doesn't have to be large, and you don't always need to be the life of the party, but just having one or two significant connections in your life has shown to have terrific psychological and physical benefits." Comment: This is confirmation of metaphysical teaching that we can all apply on a daily basis. Great News! How not to measure temperature, part 74 WattsUpWithThat.com, 19th November 2008 "Sometimes, words fail me in describing the absolute disregard of the placement of NOAA official climate monitoring sites. For example, this one in Clarinda, Iowa submitted by surfacestations volunteer Eric Gamberg:" "For those of you that don't know, this station is located at the wastewater treatment plant there. I've written many times about the placement of stations at WWTP's being a bad idea due to the localized heat bubble that is created due to all the effluent coming though. The effect is especially noticeable in winter. Often you'll see steam/water vapor in the air around these sites in winter, and more than one COOP observer has told our volunteers that snow sometimes does not stick to the ground at WWTP's. The larger pole appears to be a gas burnoff torch for excess methane. I can't say how often it is activated (note the automatic ignitor circuit on the pole) but I can tell you that putting an official NOAA climate thermometer within a few feet of such a device is one of the worst examples of thoughtless station placement on the part of NOAA I've ever seen." Comment: Another classic in the series, but when will the details of this mismanagement hit the mainstream? This defintion provided by Pierre Gosselin (08:11:04), just about sums up the situation; "The United States Historical Climatology Network (USHCN) is a ship-shod, positive-biased data set of daily and monthly records of easy-to-manipulate meteorological variables from over 1000 poorly sited observing stations across the 48 contiguous getting hotter United States." But, apparently it's the best network of it's kind in the world.... Cat gives birth to freak feline with two faces The Times Online, 20th November 2008 "A vet got more than he bargained for when a cat he was helping in labour gave birth to a two-headed kitten in Western Australia. Veterinarian George Huber and nurse Louisa Burgess had to do a double take when the grey and white freak feline was born with two faces." It was born at the Swan Veterinary Clinic in Perth, Western Australia, when its mother was brought in after suffering complications during birth." Comment: I have quite a collection now of animals with this DNA mutation, cows, pigs, cats and even a human baby with two faces. Now, I am wondering how long it will take scientists and the mainstream press to start speculating in the media that this might be due to the increase in galactic cosmic radiation hitting our planet. Mysterious changes seen on distant dwarf planet New Scientist News, 10th November 2008 "The surface of the largest known 'plutoid' appears to have changed in recent years, according to new measurements of how elements are layered on its icy surface. But astronomers cannot explain the cause of the apparent change. Eris is the largest known object beyond the orbit of Neptune, weighing nearly a third more than Pluto. It travels on an elongated path around the Sun that takes about 560 years to complete. [...] Eris is now near its farthest point from the Sun, so it is expected to be cold and inactive. But a new study suggests the dwarf planet's surface may have changed in the last few years. "We're really scratching our heads," says author Stephen Tegler of Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. [...] One possibility is that Eris experienced some recent change in weather that altered the top several centimetres of its surface, Tegler says. But changes in weather are difficult to explain when Eris is so far from the Sun. "It's very hard to imagine that something that dramatic would be happening on a relatively short time scale", says Mike Brown of Caltech, who was not involved in the study." Comment: Another example of the rapid planetary changes taking place across the whole of our solar system effecting all the planets and even objects like this plutoid Eris. October's weird weather continues as [UK] village is swamped by 6ft drifts of hailstones Daily Mail, 30th October 2008 "A town was cut off by floodwater yesterday after torrential overnight storms - which caused 6ft high drifts of hailstones. More than 100 people were evacuated from their homes in Ottery St Mary, Devon, and 25 were airlifted to safety or rescued by firefighters. Cars were buried up to their roofs in hailstones and the freezing conditions caused floodwater to form treacherous icy patches, causing dozens of car accidents." Comment: Well, there have been amazing pictures of cars buried in hail in Bogota, Colombia, but to see this in the UK is incredible. The atmospheric conditions must have been extreme to permit this volume of hail to develop and then be dumped in a small area. Will smoke and mirrors shield us from the global warming threat? Business Report, 30th October 2008 "Backers of extreme technologies to curb global warming advocate dumping iron dust into the seas or placing smoke and mirrors in the sky to dim the sun. But even though they are seen by some as cheap fixes for climate change when many nations are worried about economic recession, such "geo-engineering" proposals have to overcome wide criticism that they are fanciful and can have unforeseen side effects. [...] Other proposals reviewed by the UN panel include installing a metallic screen covering a 106km² patch of space 1.5 million kilometres away from Earth in the direction of the sun. The 3 000-ton structure could be put in place over 100 years by 100 space shuttle flights. "The cost has yet to be determined," said the panel." Comment: NASA have informed the world that we are now more exposed to galactic cosmic rays and the phenomena of Space Weather, which some scientists have dared to claim actually effects weather on Earth. It seems obvious, that this is the real reason for the panic. OK, it is possible to surmise that we have entrepeneurs desperate to find an idea that will sell and they may or may not get these extreme ideas funded. Yet, there must be considerably disquiet amongst the more astute academics, who know that the paleoclimatic evidence clearly demonstrates that climatic changes are always accompanied by extinction events and evolutionary change. UK: Goodness, gracious, great ball of fire! The Evening Telegraph, 24th October 2008 "Since 6.30pm on Wednesday, The Evening Telegraph has been inundated with calls and e-mails from readers who saw a strange fireball cutting a swath across the heavens for several minutes." "The most likely explanation, according to RAF Wittering-based Met Office weather forecaster and keen astronomer Julian Cooke, is that it was an "unusually large" meteor." "Another astronomer, 38-year-old Jason Hart, of Orton Brimbles, Peterborough, reckons the spectacle could also have been an "iridium flare" – when the light of the sun hits reflective surfaces on satellites orbiting the earth, creating a streak of bright, white light. But if the accounts of regulars and staff at the Dragon pub in Werrington are to be believed, the phenomenon was more in keeping with Mr Cooke's fireball explanation. Pub manager Janek Skutela said: "It looked like a bright orange ball, and about 20 of us went outside the pub to watch it after one regular came in and said he could see a UFO. "At first it shot across the sky really fast but then it went really slowly before disappearing into the distance. All in all it lasted about seven or eight minutes. "We couldn't work out what it was but there were reports of a similar thing happening a fortnight before. One of our customers saw it but didn't say anything because he was scared everyone would take the mickey out of him."" Comment: Well it's all happening in the UK! So here we have the new phenomena of an "unusually large" fireball shooting across the sky, and then slowing down to go about it's business at a more leisurely pace! I think we have another example of the arrival of a magnetospheric plasmoid and the general public have no idea because this would most certainly upset the prevailing understanding of reality! This is really exciting stuff! Pictured: The mystery pink light that appeared over London Daily Mail, 21st October 2008 "While a pink sky at night might be a shepherd's delight, London residents were left scratching their heads last night as a mysterious pink cloud drifted over the city. Bemused bystanders in Mayfair craned their necks to witness the strange alien-like cloud that appeared for just under an hour at around 8:30pm. It hovered over buildings before breaking up and slowly disappearing." Comment: Nice pictures. I think this is another example of "old energy" that have been forced out of the Earth as part of the massive cleanse now taking place worldwide. The pink is reminiscent of the one of the colours seen in the upside rainbow clouds that occurred just before the massive Sichuan Earthquake in China, see YouTube video (3:23)30 mins before the 2008 Sichuan earthquake in China. Earth In Midst Of Sixth Mass Extinction: 50% Of All Species Disappearing ScienceDaily.com, 21st October 2008 "The Earth is in the midst of the sixth mass extinction of both plants and animals, with nearly 50 percent of all species disappearing, scientists say. Because of the current crisis, biologists at UC Santa Barbara are working day and night to determine which species must be saved. Their international study of grassland ecosystems, with flowering plants, is published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences." Comment: Evolutionary biologists are well aware that evolutionary change is underway, but usually they blame it on pollution or global warming. What this report does not mention is that the evidence shows that the pace of evolutionary change is accelerating and some changes are being recorded in decades not hundreds of thousands of years as scientists have taught. Thirty years of warmer temperatures go poof National Post, 20th October 2008 "The number of climate change skeptics is growing rapidly. Because a funny thing is happening to global temperatures -- they're going down, not up.""...weather-satellite scientists David Douglass of the University of Rochester and John Christy of the University of Alabama at Huntsville nonetheless dealt the True Believers a devastating blow last month. For nearly 30 years, Professor Christy has been in charge of NASA's eight weather satellites that take more than 300,000 temperature readings daily around the globe. In a paper co-written with Dr. Douglass, he concludes that while manmade emissions may be having a slight impact, "variations in global temperatures since 1978 ... cannot be attributed to carbon dioxide." Comment: Lorne Gunter is a longstanding global warming dissenter who is delighted that global temperatures are going 'poof'. Here he points out that many more prominent scientists are publicly denouncing the extremely dubious science that blames CO2 for global warming and the even more startling data that shows declining global temperatures. Unlike the ground based temperature measurements, that in some quarters are now considered laughable, NASA's weather satellite measurements are deemed to be highly accurate and so many are starting to warn that global cooling is now most certainly inevitable, to the chagrin of Al Gore et al. 2008 tornado season could blow away records USA Today, 13th October 2008 "The 2008 tornado season is on track to set a record for the number of tornadoes in the USA, according to National Weather Service data. Through July, 1,390 tornadoes were officially recorded in the first seven months of a year — the most ever. The annual record for tornadoes in the USA is 1,817, set in 2004. "This year, every month has been above average for tornadoes," says Greg Forbes, of the Weather Channel." Comment: The high tornado count is highly symtomatic of the chaotic electromagnetic environment and simply does nor represent the result of clashes of hot moist air and cold air often cited by scientists. Since global mean temperatures have declined, theory suggests that tornadoes should decline too, but obviously there are other factors at play that are giving us an increase in tornadoes and some in places that have rarely experienced them before. However, if you want the conventional rebuttal, here is the opinion of Professor Tim Ball, Tornadoes not a sign of global warming. Pictured: The 100,000-to-one black barn owl Daily Mail, 10th October 2008 "All barn owls are precious, but none more than this jet-black two year old. Sable has melanism - a 100,000-to-one gene mutation that makes her the opposite to an albino. [...] Strangely, Sable is much stronger than a normal barn owl whereas an albino is weaker and has a bad immune system. However, if she got out into the wild she'd be dead in 12 hours. You would think black would work at night but in reality she would be mobbed and killed by other owls." Comment: I am happy to report another example of a rare mutation and I suggest that there will be many more to come as part of the evolutionary change now gripping this planet. NASA moves the goalposts on Solar Cycle 24 again WattsUpWithThat, 5th October 2008 "NASA's David Hathaway just recently updated his solar cycle prediction and has pushed cycle 24 into the future a little more once again. Though to read his latest update on 10/03/08 at his prediction page here, you wouldn't know it, because the page is mostly tech speak and reviews of semi relevant papers." "This isn't the first time NASA has moved the goalpost. Back in March I did a story on NASA moving the goal post then, and since then they've moved the cycle ahead twice, once in April and again now in October." Comment: The Sun is perplexing ALL the experts! Back to the Dark Ages: National Grid raises the spectre of blackouts this winter Daily Mail, 26th September 2008 "Homes could be plunged into darkness this winter as the nation faces the shocking prospect of power cuts. The warning, following the release of grim industry figures yesterday, will dredge up memories of the last electricity crisis in 1974." Comment: There is a strong likelihood of power cuts caused by solar activity if and when solar cycle 24 starts to ramp up, but this article just explains that the UK's grid infrastructure is suffering from "low capacity" due to lack of investment and environmental constraints. However, we still have no explanation for what happened in May when, "half a million customers were hit by power cuts after a series of unexpected problems at power stations forced the National Grid to conserve supplies." So I have to wonder why there is a reticence to explain what exactly caused that particular shutdown. Ulysses Reveals Global Solar Wind Plasma Output At 50-Year Low NASA News, 23rd September 2008 "WASHINGTON -- Data from the Ulysses spacecraft, a joint NASA-European Space Agency mission, show the sun has reduced its output of solar wind to the lowest levels since accurate readings became available. The sun's current state could reduce the natural shielding that envelops our solar system. [...] "Galactic cosmic rays carry with them radiation from other parts of our galaxy," said Ed Smith, NASA's Ulysses project scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. "With the solar wind at an all-time low, there is an excellent chance the heliosphere will diminish in size and strength. If that occurs, more galactic cosmic rays will make it into the inner part of our solar system." Comment: It's official, Earth's shielding against Space Weather is dropping quickly. The New Cosmic Age has arrived! Well, if the Universe was going to take the opportunity to blast our planet with galactic cosmic rays, it seems that our defenses are well and truly down to do anything much about it. Fast [Climate changes in the past]? Try The Younger Dryas Global Warming Politics, 23rd September 2008 "Some shifts in climate may have been gradual, but events such as the YDE ['Younger Dryas Event'] or the MCA ['Medieval Climate Anomaly'] and the LIA ['Little Ice Age'] were much more rapid. Responses to climate change have included changes in geographical distributions, shifts in community composition and extinction. Species which are extant today have in the past been organized into communities that have no modern counterparts. Regional bio-diversity has seen marked changes in response to shifts in climate. In addition to these ecological responses, which are expected in the case of large-scale habitat changes and climate warming, there is also evidence that species have responded with genotypic and phenotypic shifts in the face of Quaternary climatic change. Such evolutionary responses should also be anticipated in the future." Comment: These scientists are telling us that abrupt climate changes have happened in the past and the evidence shows that species have responded by rapid evolutionary change. Guess what? It's about to happen again and the inhabitants of Earth are largely unprepared because this time, the bar is being reset to facilitate a higher level of consciousness. This helps to explain why there is so much panic in certain quarters, because it will be change that will be impossible to control. Solar Wind Loses Power, Hits 50-year Low NASA News, 23rd September 2008 Summary: "In a briefing today at NASA headquarters, solar physicists announced that the solar wind is losing power. "The average pressure of the solar wind has dropped more than 20% since the mid-1990s," says Dave McComas of the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, Texas. "This is the weakest it's been since we began monitoring solar wind almost 50 years ago." [...] Curiously, the speed of the million mph solar wind hasn't decreased much—only 3%. The change in pressure comes mainly from reductions in temperature and density. The solar wind is 13% cooler and 20% less dense. "What we're seeing is a long term trend, a steady decrease in pressure that began sometime in the mid-1990s," explains Arik Posner, NASA's Ulysses Program Scientist in Washington DC. [...] "The solar wind isn't inflating the heliosphere as much as it used to," says McComas. "That means less shielding against cosmic rays." In addition to weakened solar wind, "Ulysses also finds that the sun's underlying magnetic field has weakened by more than 30% since the mid-1990s," says Posner. "This reduces natural shielding even more." Unpublished Ulysses cosmic ray data show that, indeed, high energy (GeV) electrons, a minor but telltale component of cosmic rays around Earth, have jumped in number by about 20%. These extra particles pose no threat to people on Earth's surface. Our thick atmosphere and planetary magnetic field provide additional layers of protection that keep us safe. [...] Also, there are controversial studies linking cosmic ray fluxes to cloudiness and climate change on Earth. That link may be tested in the years ahead. Comment: The Terms and Conditions for Living on Planet Earth Have Changed! The "quality control inspection" is about to start in earnest! The statement about "no threat to people on Earth's surface", is rather misleading and does not take into account the DNA mutations that will be passed down from generation to generation. (Scientific FACT). Metaphysical sources are warning people to protect their energy fields and if you are familiar with my assessment and conclusions, you will know that the energy bombardment is from many different sources. So, it seems the writer Dr. Tony Phillips has realised that with the Earth receiving less and less protection, we will all be soon facing increased cosmic radiation. The big question has to be: Is your energy field ready to cope? "Road rage woman burned to death by ramming rival motorist and revving her engine 'until her car went up in flames' Dail Mail, 23rd September 2008 "A road rage driver was burned to death after ramming another vehicle and setting her own car on fire by furiously revving her engine, it emerged today. Serena Sutton-Smith, 54, had deliberately driven into the back of Paula Small's stationary car and then refused to get out of her Vauxhall Nova as she sat with her foot on the accelerator. Sparks caused when a front tyre disintegrated and the wheel dug into the road, ignited brake fluid in her engine and set the vehicle alight. The victim was so overcome with anger she refused to get out of her burning car and even threatened a would-be rescuer who tried to persuade her." Comment: Obviously this is a case of extreme imbalance and sadly this woman did have a history of erratic behaviour and suffered from bipolar disorder. Yet, in these environmental conditions, if we allow our emotions to swing us into a state of extreme imbalance it's possible to get stuck and the consequences can be fatal. Financial crisis: Lehman misses out on carbon credit scam The Telegraph, 21st September 2008 "What is the connection between the bankrupt Lehman Brothers and the likelihood that in four years' time our electricity bills will jump another 25 per cent (on top of the rises likely from soaring coal and gas prices)? The answer is that, before its collapse, Lehman was pitching to become the leader in the vast trade created by the new worldwide regulatory system to "fight climate change" by curbing emissions of carbon dioxide. The biggest money-spinners will be the schemes whereby industry will pay for permits to emit CO2 at so much a ton, either directly to governments or by buying them on an international market. [...] Everything about this grandiose scheme betokens the economics of the madhouse." Comment: Well, we are at the very darkest before the dawn. Guardian Angels Are Here, Say Most Americans Time Magazine, 18th September 2008 "More than half of all Americans believe they have been helped by a guardian angel in the course of their lives, according to a new poll by the Baylor University Institute for Studies of Religion. In a poll of 1700 respondents, 55% answered affirmatively to the statement, "I was protected from harm by a guardian angel." The responses defied standard class and denominational assumptions about religious belief; the majority held up regardless of denomination, region or education — though the figure was a little lower (37%) among respondents earning more than $150,000 a year." Comment: I find the conclusion to this article fascinating, as these experts are clearly stumped by this survey, "Randall Balmer, chairman of the religion department at New York's Barnard College, says that the Baylor angel figures are one in a periodic series of indications that "Americans live in an enchanted world," and engage in a kind of casual mysticism independent of established religious ritual, doctrine or theology. "There is," he says, a "much broader uncharted range of religious experience among the populace than we expect." Well, as the dimensions continue to merge, it will become more obvious that we are not alone. If you have not seen this angel photo, then be enchanted! Angel With My Son . Chicken-footed duck scared of water Ananova News, 16th September 2008 Full Story: "A Chinese farmer is baffled after he bought a duck that has feet like a chicken and is scared of water. Curious villagers in Huangjin village, Xicheng town, are flocking to the home of Fu Haiwen to see the duck. Fu said he bought the duck in June but did not notice its unusual feet for ten days, reports Laibin News. It was only after he noticed it acting differently to the rest of the ducks that he examined it closely and was surprised to see it did not have webbed feet. "It never went with the other ducks to swim in the river," he explained." Comment: This is the opposite of the chicken with a duck's webbed feet, see Chicken Born With Duck's Webbed Feet: Experts Say Bird Is Genetic Mutation. Well, I think we can truly say that we are moving into a magical mysterious time as depicted on 28th June 2007, 'Alice in Wonderland' Crop Circle Formation found at West Kennett Long Barrow, Nr Avebury, Wiltshire, the image is by courtesy of the Cropcircleconnector.com website. THE MORPHOGENETIC FIELDS HELD IN THE ENVIRONMENT THAT ARE USED AS THE GENETIC BLUEPRINT FOR EVERY LIVING THING ON THIS PLANET HAVE CHANGED! EXPECT MORE ELECTROMAGNETIC CHAOS AS WE ALL EVOLVE TO A NEW ENERGETIC STATE. Henny Penny Goes Carbon-Free The American Spectator, 16th September 2008 "Months had passed since we last talked with Ms. Henny-Penny, whose famous declaration -- "the sky is falling!" -- electrified the world. At the time, her barnyard colleagues quickly fell into line with her, save one, Chicken Little, who demurred. When last Ms. H-P and I talked, she scoffed at her former friend as a "denier." So, the other day I called her to see how she was doing as the recording secretary of what was now the Holy Order of the Sky is Falling, the Hon. Al Gore, pontiff." Comment: LOL!! Why carbon offsets don't work They're like a fat person claiming he's losing weight by paying a thin person to go on a diet Toronto Sun, 14th September 2008 "Any politician who tells you he has reduced or eliminated his carbon footprint by purchasing offsets, probably has a bridge in Brooklyn he'd like to sell you. Once carbon dioxide is emitted by the burning of fossil fuels, it can't be recalled. Estimates of how long it lasts in the atmosphere range up to 200 years. For other greenhouse gases, it's up to thousands of years. Current theory on how long we have to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions before triggering potentially devastating climate change is about 50 years. Given that, the argument you can eliminate the harm caused by cumulative carbon emissions today by paying a third party to theoretically lower them tomorrow, is both absurd and irrelevant." Comment: Well actually, if you put it like that, it does sound like a good idea! LOL!! Seriously, I realised that carbon offsetting was a complete joke when I found out that the founder of Greenpeace had set up a website that allowed people to buy carbon credits to offset their pets flatutlence. See article New Weapon Against Warming: "Flatulence Cards" Offset Dog, Human Emissions. It is quite clear to me that carbon offsetting is along the lines of many stock market manias like investing in tulip bulbs in the 1630s, or the South sea Bubble in 1720s or more recently investing in any internet company at the time of the dot-com boom. If you are interested in what's really happening, I recommend the book 'Devil Take The Hindmost: A History of Financial Speculation', because this is history repeating itself, over and over again. Climate change chicanery The Telegraph, 14th September 2008 "Recent events have seen the scare campaign over global warming descend to the level of a Monty Python sketch. Much publicity was given, for instance, to Lewis Gordon Pugh, who set out to paddle a kayak to the Pole to demonstrate the vanishing of the Arctic ice. At 80.5 degrees north, still 600 miles short of his goal, he met with ice so thick that he and his fossil-fuelled support ship had to turn back. But this did not prevent him receiving a congratulatory call from Gordon Brown, nor boasting that he had travelled "further north than anyone has kayaked so far". It took the admirable Watts Up With That blog, run by the American meteorologist Anthony Watts, to point out that in 1893 the Norwegian explorer Fridtjof Nansen found the Arctic so ice-free that he was able to kayak above 82 degrees north, 100 miles nearer the Pole than our hapless campaigner against "unprecedented global warming"." Comment: I am really proud of the scientists fighting for the real truth behind climate change. In this article, the writer highlights the infamous "hocky-stick" computer modelling fraud to manipulate climate data, so instead of the computer programme algorithm it's now an "al-gore-ithm". Quite hilarious really..... Old Farmers Almanac: Global cooling may be underway USA Today, 10th September 2008 "The Old Farmer's Almanac is going further out on a limb than usual this year, not only forecasting a cooler winter, but looking ahead decades to suggest we are in for global cooling, not warming. Based on the same time-honored, complex calculations it uses to predict weather, the Almanac hits the newsstands on Tuesday saying a study of solar activity and corresponding records on ocean temperatures and climate point to a cooler, not warmer, climate, for perhaps the next half century. "We at the Almanac are among those who believe that sunspot cycles and their effects on oceans correlate with climate changes," writes meteorologist and climatologist Joseph D'Aleo. "Studying these and other factor suggests that cold, not warm, climate may be our future."" Comment: The highly successful Old Farmer's Almanac only sells because it's rate of accuracy is so high. Meteorologists and other climate scientists have traditionally ignored the role of the Sun which seems strange when ALL LIFE ON EARTH is dependent on the Sun for sustenance. UK: 'Massive Fireball' caught on camera above Bradford The Telegraph & Argus, 3rd September 2008 "A Bradford man has described the moment he saw a UFO in the skies above his home. Richard Ing, of Westminster Avenue, Clayton, said he watched in amazement from the balcony of his house as it passed over Bradford city centre, Clayton and off towards Denholme. The 40-year-old printer said: "There were eight of us who saw it – four adults and four children. "We are all sensible people and were amazed by what we saw. "It was a massive fireball half the size of an aeroplane." Comment: The most hilarious UFO sighting recently has to be the one over Tescos, see the later 6th September report "UFO" captured on camera over Purley Cross Tesco. UFO expert Nick Pope, who previously worked for the Ministry of Defence, stated "Given the sheer number of sightings we've seen this summer and the unprecedented number of photos and videos, it's time for a full public inquiry." I tend to focus on what appears to be the orbs being sighted all over the UK at the moment and I have to wonder why specifically the UK, because I don't know of a good reason, accept for the fact that the country may need a serious refresh of energy. Anyway, unless I obtain information that tells me different, I believe that our whole planet is experiencing a massive refresh of energy, literally like you would wipe a hard disk and start again. This means that there is a lot of traffic with plasma "magnetic entities" literally 'information carriers' moving in and out of our atmosphere and the ground we walk on. It's pure energy and intelligent. There is absolutely nothing that anyone can do because we are dealing with Universal Intelligence and it does not obey human laws. Incoming energy is working with our planet according to cosmic cycles and laws, hence we have a ringside seat, watching the transformation of our planet. Personally, I am absolutely amazed and feel very priviledged to watch this taking place. Freak hailstorm turns part of tropical Kenya white Reuters UK, 3rd September 2008 'Snowfall' shocks Kenyan village BBC News, 3rd September 2008 "NAIROBI (Reuters) - A huge hailstorm turned parts of central Kenya white, thrilling residents most of whom had never experienced such conditions, officials said on Wednesday. Hailstorms are usual in some parts of Kenya, which straddles the equator, but the ferocity of the storm in Busara, 255 km (158 miles) northwest of the capital was unprecedented. Excited villagers pelted each other with snowballs while some ate pieces of the icy sheet that formed over an entire hillside. "We thought a big white sheet had been spread, so we decided to come and see for ourselves. We thought that it was Jesus who had come back," one villager told reporters. Comment: Well, it most have been one hail of a storm, "More than 12 hours after the storm, the forested hillside was still white despite the hot tropical sun." The BBC story has other interesting details like it was 4 inches deep and looked like stone. Hmmmm.... Does Memory Reside Outside the Brain? Epoch Times, 30th August 2008 "After decades of investigation, scientists are still unable to explain why no part of the brain seems responsible for storing memories. Most people assume that our memories must exist somewhere inside our heads. But try as they might, medical investigators have been unable to determine which cerebral region actually stores what we remember. Could it be that our memories actually dwell in a space outside our physical structure?" Comment: This article is based on the research of Rupert Sheldrake and specifically his paper, "Mind, Memory, and Archetype Morphic Resonance and the Collective Unconscious" published in the journal Psychological Perspectives. UFOs, Sovereignty and Politics OpEdNews.com, 30th August 2008 ""UFO ignorance is political rather than scientific"- that's the conclusion of two prominent university professors who had the results of their research on UFOs published in the August 2008 edition of Political Theory. It was the first time a major political science journal had published an article dealing with the UFO phenomenon so it has predictably sparked controversy in the academic world." "Their article breaks new ground in opening up for academic debate the way in which evidence of UFOs has not been seriously analyzed in the modern era. Their main argument is that this is due to a "metaphysical threat" that UFOs pose to the sovereignty of modern states. This threat comes not from the reality of UFOs as an inexplicable physical phenomenon that ultimately have mundane explanations, but the implicit assumption that UFOs are intelligently guided vehicles controlled by extraterrestrial intelligences (the extraterrestrial hypothesis). Wendt and Duvall argue that a serious study of UFOs could undermine the "anthropomorphic sovereignty" under which modern states operate. They explain in their paper: "When sovereignty is contested today, therefore, it is always and only among humans, horizontally so to speak, rather than vertically with Nature or God. In this way modern sovereignty is fundamentally anthropocentric (pp.607-608)." Put simply, only humans compete for sovereignty over the population, resources and territory of the planet." Comment: Important News! Looks like we have some progress..... even the die-hard academics are waking up... I love the term, "Cosmic Watergate", I think it will catch on! ATV carries out first debris avoidance manoeuvre for the ISS ESA News, 28th August 2008 "The Automated Transfer Vehicle, Europe's ISS logistics spacecraft, was used to perform its first debris avoidance manoeuvre for the International Space Station. The manoeuvre was started yesterday at 18:11 CEST (16:11 UT) and finished 5 minutes 2 seconds later. In the current Station configuration the Automated Transfer Vehicle(ATV), which is docked to the aft end of the Russian Zvezda Service module at the back of the Station, is the only vehicle that can carry out this kind of manoeuvre. The way to avoid space debris, which in this case comes from an old satellite, is by performing a so-called retrograde manoeuvre of the Space Station, i.e. by slowing it down, which in turn lowers its orbiting altitude. " Comment: So, the ISS has measures to avoid being hit by the junk that surrounds this planet, is that really such an impressive feat? I would be more impressed if they could find a way of clearing up the junk. So, now that NASA are reassuring us that we are still on for celestial fireworks in solarcycle 24, it might be interesting to watch the ISS dodge one bullet after another as satellites die and spin out of control after getting hit by space weather. Chinese cats grow 'wings' The Telegraph, 27th August 2008 Full Report: "Tom cats in Sichuan province in southern China have sprouted wing-like growths on their backs, which locals are attributing to the hot summer weather and the romantic attentions of females. One animal started to develop the "wings" during a period of hot weather in Sichuan, a large province in southern China where a devastating earthquake struck this spring. Although the growths appear fluffy, they contain bone. But veterinary experts say that despite the hard inner core, the flaps do not harm the cat's quality of life or safety. Several animals were photographed with the furry protuberances by a local newspaper photographer. "At first they were just two bumps, but they started to grow quickly, and after a month there were two wings," said one cat's owner, who was only identified as Feng. "Many female cats in heat came to harass him, and then the wings started to grow," she told the local Huashang News. Although Feng attributed her pet's condition to the stress of a feline love life and the hot Sichuan summer. However, scientists said the wings had a less romantic explanation. In fact, the hairy growths probably developed because of unusual grooming habits, a genetic defect or a hereditary skin condition." Comment: It seems that more cats in China are now morphing and developing wings and the report in May 2007 Cat grows wings, was the first of the crop. This is really starting to look like the start of some rapid evolutionary change.... Environmentalists feed people to dragons Briggs Blog, 25th August 2008 "Komodo dragons have been eating a lot of people in Indonesia lately and the locals blame environmentalists, as reported by Yaroslav Trofimov at the Wall Street Journal (a subscription is required; or borrow or buy today’s paper). Apparently, in Indonesia, people used to hunt deer and leave portions of successful hunts to the komodo dragons. They also used to tie up goats as sacrifices. All of this pleased the dragons, which left the humans alone. Then entered the Environmentalists from the Nature Conservancy, who sought and were awarded a ban on deer hunting. They also had dogs declared an "alien species", thus outlawing them. Naturally, being sympathetic souls, they also got a ban on goat offerings. The reason they did all this, according to Widodo Ramono, the policy director of the environmentalist organization, was because he feared the komodo was becoming "domesticated." But, even though all the people in this group were no doubt armed with many letters after their names, each with multiple "studies" in hand, they forgot that the dragons had to eat. So the dragons started wandering down to the villages and learned how tasty villagers and the villagers' livestock were. "Today the dragons are angry with us," says villager Hajji Faisal, "and see us an enemies." A man named Jamain, whose son was eaten, said "I don’t blame the dragons for my boy’s death. I blame those who forbade us from following custom and feeding them. If it weren't for them, my boy would still be alive." Comment: Great headline! I suppose we are seeing a type of environmental myopia and lack of common sense. I don't suppose these environmentalists actually live in close quarters with these beasts.... Workplace violence comes in many forms OC Register, 19th August 2008 "A flash of anger over a blown deadline or losing out to a romantic rival could be just enough to tip the balance, erupting into an office brawl with your co-workers in the primo ringside seats. Or it could fly under the radar as sexual harassment, intimidation, threats and emotional abuse – basically all the real life skills you picked up during third-grade recess. According to the Justice Department number whiz kids, an average of 1.7 million "violent victimizations" happened on the job every year from 1993 through 1999. Nearly 1,000 people a year are murdered at work, but most of these violent acts – 95 percent – were simple aggravated assaults." Comment: As the build-up of energies accelerates and all our emotions are amplified, those with too much unresolved emotional issues will go into an extreme state of imbalance very quickly. So, is it conceivable that we could get to the stage where workers are checked to see if they are balanced before they are allowed in the workplace? Currently, many people are only interested in their neighbours social status, but in the future, it's a possibility that all people will care about is how balanced they are instead. Meet Yoda the cat with FOUR ears Daily Mail, 19th August 2008 "When Valerie and Ted Rock came across a kitten with four-ears, they couldn't believe their eyes. But the endearing feline was so adorable they decided he was destined to be a part of their family. The couple were in a Chicago bar two years ago when they noticed a little grey bundle of fur being passed around to the amazement of fellow drinkers - and their parental instincts kicked in." Comment: He's cute! Well, there is no confirmation here that this is a DNA mutuation but there is mention of a cat in Germany with 4 ears, so it will be interesting to see if more examples occur. Love you Yoda! Crowds in awe as formation of mysterious orange lights appear over UK village Manchester Evening News, 14th August 2008 "CROWDS of people in Stretford watched in awe as a formation of mysterious orange lights hovered low over their houses last night. The intensely bright orbs, the colour of the setting sun, were spotted by dozens of residents between 10 and 11pm. Motorists stopped their cars and neighbours on several streets congregated outside to watch the orbs pass slowly overhead." "Matthew Darsley, 31, of Haworth Drive, said: "It was the strangest thing I've ever seen. They looked as if they were on fire, really bright orange orbs. We spotted eight or nine go over my house between 10 and 11pm.....These things were massive. The first one I saw was just below the cloud line but the others were probably only about 300ft up." "Experts in defence intelligence staff reported in 2000 that many UFOs are in fact an atmospheric phenomenon, extremely hot gases (plasmas) created by charges of electricity." Comment: Please pay attention to the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD), for once they are telling the truth.... Pyramid power works miracles in Russia 12 stories high, it can cure karma, release mysterious energy Los Angeles Times, 10th August 2008 "You can see it from miles away, looming over the birch forests and wildflower fields and construction sites crammed with future dachas for Russia's rich and ruthless. Stabbing toward heaven from its hilltop perch, the pyramid gleams white under the blast of northern sun. Twelve stories high and made of 55 tons of fiberglass, the pyramid swarms with Russians desperate to rearrange their energy fields and cure their karma. Everybody, it seems, has heard some miracle tale about the pyramid: The sterile woman miraculously impregnated after a visit. The prisoners pacified with drafts of saltwater charged by the energies of the pyramid. The pillar of mysterious force allegedly emanating from the peak, healing the ozone layer over Russia." Comment: Fantastic! I am thrilled to see this article in the mainstream media. The pyramids work by their geometry to harness interdimensional energy, thus promoting higher states of consciousness, correcting and balancing morphogenetic and electromagnetic fields. The Russians absolutely love these pyramids and I wote about the associated highly creditable research in my book, Tuning the Diamonds: Electromagnetism & Spiritual Evolution.

Channel 4 to be censured over controversial climate film Watchdog finds documentary was unfair to scientists but did not mislead viewers The guardian, 19th July 2008 "Channel 4 misrepresented some of the world's leading climate scientists in a controversial documentary that claimed global warming was a conspiracy and a fraud, the UK's media regulator will rule next week." "But it is understood that Channel 4 will still claim victory because the ultimate verdict on a separate complaint about accuracy, which contained 131 specific points and ran to 270 pages, will find that it did not breach the regulator's broadcasting code and did not materially mislead viewers." Comment: 'The Great Global Warming Swindle' presented the 'other' side of the global warming debate which had been overwhelming one-sided. Yet, Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth is so full of misrepresentations that a British High court judge ruled that that a list of "scientific errors" be sent to schools. I am very pleased with the film maker Martin Durkin and some of the scientists involved in this documentary, especially Dr. Tim Ball who told the world that he had received death threats for his beliefs. My reason? The battle for the truth has to be waged on many fronts. Myth of Consensus Explodes: APS Opens Global Warming Debate "Considerable presence" of skeptics Daily Tech, 16th July 2008 "The American Physical Society, an organization representing nearly 50,000 physicists, has reversed its stance on climate change and is now proclaiming that many of its members disbelieve in human-induced global warming. The APS is also sponsoring public debate on the validity of global warming science. The leadership of the society had previously called the evidence for global warming "incontrovertible." In a posting to the APS forum, editor Jeffrey Marque explains,"There is a considerable presence within the scientific community of people who do not agree with the IPCC conclusion that anthropogenic CO2 emissions are very probably likely to be primarily responsible for global warming that has occurred since the Industrial Revolution."" Comment: There have been lots of reports about disatisfaction with the IPCC. What's Wrong with the Sun? (Nothing) Physorg.com, 11th July 2008 "This report, that there's nothing to report, is newsworthy because of a growing buzz in lay and academic circles that something is wrong with the sun. Sun Goes Longer Than Normal Without Producing Sunspots declared one recent press release. A careful look at the data, however, suggests otherwise. [...] Hathaway has studied international sunspot counts stretching all the way back to 1749 and he offers these statistics: "The average period of a solar cycle is 131 months with a standard deviation of 14 months. Decaying solar cycle 23 (the one we are experiencing now) has so far lasted 142 months--well within the first standard deviation and thus not at all abnormal. The last available 13-month smoothed sunspot number was 5.70. This is bigger than 12 of the last 23 solar minimum values." In summary, "the current minimum is not abnormally low or long." The longest minimum on record, the Maunder Minimum of 1645-1715, lasted an incredible 70 years." Comment: I think they call this type of report damage limitation, I assure you, Sun watchers are very nervous..... Earth's Core, Magnetic Field Changing Fast, Study Says National Geographic, 30th June 2008 "Rapid changes in the churning movement of Earth's liquid outer core are weakening the magnetic field in some regions of the planet's surface, a new study says. "What is so surprising is that rapid, almost sudden, changes take place in the Earth's magnetic field," said study co-author Nils Olsen, a geophysicist at the Danish National Space Center in Copenhagen. [...] The decline in the magnetic field also is opening Earth's upper atmosphere to intense charged particle radiation, scientists say. Satellite data show the geomagnetic field decreasing in the South Atlantic region, Mandea said, adding that an oval-shaped area east of Brazil is significantly weaker than similar latitudes in other parts of the world. "It is in this region that the shielding effect of the magnetic field is severely reduced, thus allowing high energy particles of the hard radiation belt to penetrate deep into the upper atmosphere to altitudes below a hundred kilometers (62 miles)," Mandea said. This radiation does not influence temperatures on Earth. The particles, however, do affect technical and radio equipment and can damage electronic equipment on satellites and airplanes, Olsen of the Danish space center said."" Comment: The theory is very weak here, but the observations are not...... I suggest it is also effecting the weather, triggering Earthquakes and volcanoes, as the electrical circuitry around Earth adjusts. RFID Devices Can Interfere With Hospital's Lifesaving Medical Equipment Red Orbit News, 25th June 2008 "Dutch researchers reported Tuesday that radio frequency identification chips (RFID) used by many hospitals to keep track of medical products and equipment could cause the breakdown of critical medical care devices such as ventilators, pacemakers and kidney dialysis machines. One U.S. patient-safety expert called the study "of urgent significance", and urged hospitals to immediately respond to the "disturbing" results. In their report, the researchers called on hospitals to conduct further safety tests. [...] The researchers found that Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from the so-called "smart chips" produced 22 problems that could jeopardize patients." Comment: Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is a well known problem in the electronics world, however the understanding that humans are electromagnetic and can suffer EMI, commonly called Electro Hypersensitivity is normally ignored. Many Dutch prepare for 2012 apocalypse UPI News, 23rd June 2008 "AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, June 23 (UPI) -- Thousands of people in the Netherlands say they expect the world to end in 2012, and many say they are taking precautions to prepare for the apocalypse. The Dutch-language de Volkskrant newspaper said it spoke to thousands of believers in the impending end of civilization, and while theories on the supposed catastrophe varied, most tied the 2012 date to the end of the Mayan calendar, Radio Netherlands reported Monday." Comment: The Mayan calendars do not predict the end of the world but a transition to New Age dominated by space or the aether. GPS Inaccurate During Space Storms Live Science News, 18th June 2008 "In bad weather, it can be hard to tell where you are. It turns out that your GPS unit may not be entirely sure, either, if the weather in space is bad. It is now known that space weather — specifically electrical disturbances in our planet's ionosphere — can throw off the accuracy of GPS units appreciably. Scientists are working to remedy the situation." NASA provides "Explanation" of China Earthquake: "Electrical disturbances on edge of atmosphere & impending quakes" Global Research, 5th June 2008 "Nasa scientists have said they could be on the verge of a breakthrough in their efforts to forecast earthquakes. Researchers say they have found a close link between electrical disturbances on the edge of our atmosphere and impending quakes on the ground below. Just such a signal was spotted in the days leading up to the recent devastating event in China. They have teamed up with experts in the UK to investigate a possible space-based early warning system. [...] Minoru and his father Friedemann Freund, also from Nasa Ames Research Center, developed the scientific theory behind these earthquake precursors. It boils down to the idea that when rocks are compressed - as when tectonic plates shift - they act like batteries, producing electric currents." Comment: These electric currents in the Earth's crust are actually plasmas, "serpent" energy if you want a metaphysical interpretation. Jupiter: Turbulent Storms May Be Sign Of Global Climate Change Science Daily, 23rd May 2008 "The first images of Jupiter since it came out from behind the sun show that the turbulence and storms that have plagued the planet for the past two years continue. Whether or not this is a sign of global warming, the turbulence does seem to be spawning new spots. As Red Spot Jr. and the Great Red Spot approach a June conjunction, a new third spot may merge with the GRS in August." Comment: I think a better interpretation is that new spots on Jupiter are a sign of massive planetary change and can be compared to similar changes in all the planets in our solar system. Earthquake prediction is written in the clouds Times Online, 22nd May 2008 "Can clouds predict earthquakes? YouTube has footage of strange multicoloured clouds seen just before the recent earthquake struck Sichuan province in China. The first impression is of a rainbow smeared on to small scraps of clouds, a phenomenon best known in a circumzenithal halo. This is created when sunlight shines through cirrus clouds full of tiny hexagonal ice crystals shaped like plates. The crystals behave like glass prisms, splitting the light into a bow with the colours of the spectrum, often brighter than a rainbow. But one puzzle is that the colours in the Chinese clouds were upside down from a normal circumzenithal halo – red pointing towards the horizon and blue towards the Sun, instead of the other way round." Comment: Good reporting from The Times. The Cosmic Ray-Climate Connection CO2 Science, 19th May 2008 The paper concludes: "Numerous palaeoclimatic observations, covering a wide range of time scales, suggest that galactic cosmic ray variability is associated with climate change. The quality and diversity of the observations make it difficult to dismiss them merely as chance associations. But is the GCR flux directly affecting the climate or merely acting as a proxy for variations of the solar irradiance or a spectral component such as UV? Here, there is some palaeoclimatic evidence for associations of the climate with geomagnetic and galactic modulations of the GCR [Galactic Cosmic Ray] flux, which, if confirmed, point to a direct GCR-climate forcing. Moreover, numerous studies have reported meteorological responses to short-term changes of cosmic rays or the global electrical current, which are unambiguously associated with ionising particle radiation." Comment: Is a new light dawning in the wider scientific community? Whatever, I have already been convinced by the existing scientific data that we are seeing evolutionary change being driven by cosmic factors. The Hockey Stick scam that heightened global warming hysteria Canada Free Press, 12th May 2008 "UN agencies, especially the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) and its offspring the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), were orchestrated to achieve the goal of convincing public and policy makers that warming and climate change were a human created disaster. Manipulation of the process was first publicly exposed in the Chapter 8 issue (here). Sadly, it was just the first of several that established the pattern of IPCC behavior." Comment: See my article: The Broken Hockey Stick: Beware The Global Warming Lies! Peer- reviewed study finds Antarctic fails to warm as climate models predicted Canada FreePress, 7th May 2008 "The real world data continues to debunk the models. See this for report on inconvenient developments for promoters of man-made climate far in 2008 alone. Excerpt: Antarctica hasn't warmed as much over the last century as climate models had originally predicted, a new study finds. […] Monaghan and his team found that while climate models projected temperature increases of 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit (0.75 degrees Celsius) over the past century, temperatures were observed to have risen by only 0.4 F (0.2 C)." Does the Earth's magnetic field cause suicides? New Scientist News, 24th April 2008 "Many animals can sense the Earth's magnetic field, so why not people, asks Oleg Shumilov of the Institute of North Industrial Ecology Problems in Russia. Shumilov looked at activity in the Earth's geomagnetic field from 1948 to 1997 and found that it grouped into three seasonal peaks every year: one from March to May, another in July and the last in October. Surprisingly, he also found that the geomagnetism peaks matched up with peaks in the number of suicides in the northern Russian city of Kirovsk over the same period." Comment: Other research has found similar connections, which is quite ominous as we are being given numerous warnings that the Earth's magnetic field is now being stimulated by frequent cosmic blasts coming our way from deep space. Scientists say curious clouds could foretell earthquakes Inthenews.co.uk, 10th April 2008 "Scientists say strange cloud formations could alert nations to impending earthquakes, according to a report today. The theory comes after two distinctive cloud formations were observed above an active fault in Iran, each before two large earthquakes occurred. According to the New Scientist, geophysicists Guangmeng Guo and Bin Wang of Nanyang Normal University in Henan, China, noticed a gap in the clouds in satellite images from December 2004 that exactly matched the location of the main fault in southern Iran." Comment: Yes, according to other research, low frequency emissions can be detected in the ionosphere as "bright spots" and can provide some kind of warning of an impending earthquake. However, in previous reserarch, timescales have been in a matter of days. The importance here is that metaphysical sources are warning that these emissions are detrimental to our energy fields and hence our individual spiritual evolution. Radiation Poses Greatest Threat to Humans in Space RedOrbit News, 1st April 2008 "A new report commissioned by NASA's Exploration Systems Mission Directorate said that cosmic radiation poses cancer and other health risks for years after astronauts return to Earth, and that a lack of understanding of the biological responses to space radiation is the biggest limiting factor to future missions." Comment: Yes, space is highly radioactive and always has been. What's more the new phenomena of Space weather is effecting all life on Earth and some humans are quickly evolving to cope with the new environmental conditions. Mysterious ghostly orbs perplex researchers NewsMonster.com, 28th March 2008 "Tens of thousands of ordinary people around the globe are reporting mysterious spheres of light known as ORBS, which have started appearing on their digital photographs. A few scientists are taking this phenomenon seriously and incredibly claim to have found evidence of beings from other dimensions." 2008 Climate Debate The New American, 25th March 2008 "There goes another beautiful theory about to be murdered by a brutal gang of facts." — Duc de La Rochefoucauld, French writer and moralist (1613-1680) However, for many of the world's leading scientists in the fields of meteorology, climatology, physics, astrophysics, and related sciences, the science is far from settled, Al Gore's media accolades notwithstanding. Over the past few years, more than 19,000 American scientists have signed a dissenting petition coauthored by Dr. Frederick Seitz, renowned physicist and former president of the National Academy of Sciences, and Dr. Arthur Robinson, president of the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine (www.oism.org/pproject). The petition urges political leaders to reject the Gore-supported Kyoto Protocol or other similar proposals that would mandate draconian tax and regulatory measures aimed at virtually all human economic activity." Comment: I just love the above quote, there is a similiar quote in my book, Tuning the Diamonds. Bhutan tries to measure happiness Breitbart.com, 23rd March 2008 "For years, the remote Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan boasted that it was mostly concerned with Gross National Happiness -- and now it's really going to try to actually measure it. The idea of focussing on Gross National Happiness (GNH) rather than Gross National Product (GNP) was the brainchild of ex-king Jigme Singye Wangchuck, who sought to steer Bhutan into the modern world while preserving its unique identity." Comment: It it wonderful to know that this tiny kingdom has completely different values from most other places in the world, a ray of light..... NASA Satellite Detects Record Gamma Ray Burst Explosion Halfway Across Universe NASA News, 20th March 2008 "GRB 080319B's optical afterglow was 2.5 million times more luminous than the most luminous supernova ever recorded, making it the most intrinsically bright object ever observed by humans in the universe. The most distant previous object that could have been seen by the naked eye is the nearby galaxy M33, a relatively short 2.9 million light-years from Earth. Analysis of GRB 080319B is just getting underway, so astronomers don't know why this burst and its afterglow were so bright. One possibility is the burst was more energetic than others, perhaps because of the mass, spin, or magnetic field of the progenitor star or its jet. Or perhaps it concentrated its energy in a narrow jet that was aimed directly at Earth." Comment: There is a massive orchestration by the celestial "gods" to drive us to the next level of our evolution. The Mystery of Global Warming's Missing Heat NPR News, 19th March 2008 "Some 3,000 scientific robots that are plying the ocean have sent home a puzzling message. These diving instruments suggest that the oceans have not warmed up at all over the past four or five years. That could mean global warming has taken a breather. Or it could mean scientists aren't quite understanding what their robots are telling them. This is puzzling in part because here on the surface of the Earth, the years since 2003 have been some of the hottest on record. But Josh Willis at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory says the oceans are what really matter when it comes to global warming." Comment: Well after the work that is being done on monitoring the location of US climate stations we can even debate the accuracy of so-called ground temperatures measuring "recent warming". It is my opinion that the whole concept of Global Warming is an invention to cover up the new phenomena of Space Weather or New Energy which is creating a myriad of effects to all living systems on Earth and in our solar system. Huge blasts of new consciousness to drive evolutionary change. Glowing lights around an earthquake's epicentre Times Online, 15th March 2008 "The earthquake on February 27 did more than shake people up in the middle of the night. Reports have come in that mysterious lights also appeared around the quake's epicentre near Market Rasen, Lincolnshire. One witness described how a grapefruit-sized glowing sphere appeared in her bedroom and then went out like a light. "This thing seemed to be coming across the room straight at me. I was very frightened," she told the Louth Leader." "...One explanation for his phenomenon is that the electrical properties of rocks may change under severe stress before or during a quake. This may generate changes in the electrical behaviour of the atmosphere, ionising the air and producing glowing lights." Global Temperatures Have Dropped: Did Sunspots Predict It? CGGI.org, 1st March 2008 "Three of the world's major climate monitors have announced that the earth's temperatures dropped over the last 12 months—by enough to virtually offset the entire "unprecedented warming" of the last century. This comes after nine years of no warming, and a net warming since 1940 of just 0.2 degrees. Equally important, a drop in temperatures had been predicted by the sunspot index that foretells the earth's temperature changes with a log time of nearly a decade. Our temperatures have a 79 percent correlation with the sunspot index." Comment: It looks like the Global Warming gravy train might be coming off the tracks.... WOODFORD GREEN: MoD appeals for calm after UFO sighting Local Guardian, 29th February 2008 "THE Ministry of Defence (MoD) has appealed for calm after a UFO was spotted over Woodford Green. Two residents have contacted the Guardian saying they saw a strange object flying through the sky last weekend above the Winston Churchill statue on Woodford Green. MoD spokeswoman Susan Coulthard said: "It's certainly common that people see something they don't understand. "There are many possible explanantions for such sightings, whether it is aircraft, ballons or other similar objects." Comment: Maybe the UK Ministry of Defence should start to educate the public that many of the so-called "UFOs" or "UAPs" are a natural plasma phenomena and part of universal consciousness, going about their business. If climate sceptics are right, it is time to worry Ft.com, 28th February 2008 "Al Gore says the science on global warming is clear and there is a major problem. Vaclav Klaus, Czech president, contends that climate change forecasts are speculative and unreliable. Whose claims are scarier? Of course, Mr Klaus exaggerates (he is a politician) but if he is partly right, we should be more concerned, not less." "Mr Klaus is probably right that there are fewer certainties than many claim. Even commentators who support the conclusions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change point to methodological weaknesses in its economics. A UK High Court judge recently required that a list of "scientific errors" be sent to schools that show Mr Gore’s remarkable polemic, An Inconvenient Truth – confirming the impression that the film goes some way beyond established facts (Mr Gore is also a politician). But we hardly need Mr Klaus to teach us that experts’ models can be incomplete and a strong consensus can be badly flawed." Mystery hum puzzles geologists New Scientist News, 23rd February 2008 "LISTEN closely, and you'll hear the Earth humming - in not just one note, but two. The source of this second signal is a mystery. For around a decade we've known about Earth's quiet "vertical" hum, probably caused by the steady thumping of deep waves on the ocean floor. Now a team in Germany has discovered a second "horizontal" note, too, and nobody knows what's causing this new signal." Comment: More evidence of evolutionary change, this one appears to be the Earth "singing" at a higher frequency. Solar Activity Diminishes; Researchers Predict Another Ice Age Daily Tech News, 9th February 2008 2008 "Solar activity comes in regular cycles, but the latest one is refusing to start. Sunspots have all but vanished, and activity is suspiciously quiet. The last time this happened was 400 years ago -- and it signaled a solar event known as a "Maunder Minimum," along with the start of what we now call the "Little Ice Age."" Comment: The Sun's activity is quite unpredictable as X-rated solar flares can take our scientists by complete surprise. The final comment is most interesting; "Even NASA's Goddard Institute of Space Studies –– long the nation's most ardent champion of anthropogenic global warming –– is getting in on the act. Drew Shindell, a researcher at GISS, says there are some "interesting relationships we don't fully understand" between solar activity and climate." It seems that some scientists are now admitting the strong corelation between solar activity and the variation in Earth's climate. Huge rise in British UFO sightings The Telegraph, 9th February 2008 "Clusters of up to 100 mysterious objects, bright white lights and strange, triangular shaped objects are just some of a huge surge in UFO sightings reported to the Ministry of Defence last year." "The ministry has opened up its own "X-Files" for 2007, revealing 135 UFO sightings from across the UK. If aliens are choosing the UK as a holiday destination, it appears it is becoming more popular, as the number if sightings has shot up since 97 were reported in 2006." Comment: According to metaphysical sources, planet Earth is currently the most interesting place in the galaxy and the "galactic family" are turning up to watch the energetic transformation that is taking place now. Sun shield to let space crews boldly go to Mars Scientists simulate solar wind in Oxfordshire lab Magnets give protection against cancer risk Guardian Unlimited, 28th January 2008 "The team simulated the solar wind in the lab using an intense beam of charged high-energy particles. They placed a powerful magnet in this beam to investigate how effective it was at deflecting the particles. Bamford said it worked perfectly. The pinky glow of the plasma beam curved around the magnet just as the team had predicted. "It seems like quite a simple thing to do and it is, but what we are trying to do is put numbers on how effective this is," said Bamford. "I think a lot of people in space science didn't necessarily believe it could work as well as it did - and it worked superbly well." Comment: Now that "Space Weather" is becoming an issue, humans are also required to build up their magnetic fields and the only way to do that is to evolve.

"Everything you do has a carbon footprint and could be regulated by the government. If the Democrats have their way, you could face new limits on what you eat for breakfast, the way you travel to work, the computer on which you read Townhall.com, the medicines you take, the clothes you wear, the DVDs you watch, everything – everything! "Carbon footprint" is code for limitless government intrusion into every detail of your life. Nothing is beyond the reach of a government determined to reduce your carbon footprint in the name of the environment. To these people, nothing is sacred, nothing is private, nothing is truly yours. Not even your thermostat." Bizarre weather sends hay bales up in flames News.com.au, 21st January 2008 "THE recent unusual weather patterns have accelerated one of the strangest phenomena witnessed in the bush: an unprecedented number of haysheds have been spontaneously bursting into flames." "The heavy summer rain has penetrated haysheds, and soaked into bales. "Paddock-stacked bales have become wet and they are spontaneously combusting," Mr Peace said. "You have even had individual bales in paddocks going up in smoke." Comment: Yep, that is bizarre, maybe there are other forces ar work! Misery for millions as temperatures plummet across the Middle East News.scotsman.com, 18th January 2008 "THE Middle East is shivering amid exceptionally low temperatures ...across a region usually associated with sun-baked deserts ...And snow has fallen in Baghdad for the first time in living memory. But the severe cold snap, caused by a weather system spawned in Siberia, has mostly brought misery ..."Kingdom finds itself in icebox" declared the Arab News in a front-page headline." Comment: Mayan Elders reckon that we are not being told the full extent of Earth's environmental imbalance, but I think it's becoming quite clear. Tiny genetic differences have huge consequences: McGill researchers EurekAlert.org, 18th January 2008 "A study led by McGill University researchers has demonstrated that small differences between individuals at the DNA level can lead to dramatic differences in the way genes produce proteins. These, in turn, are responsible for the vast array of differences in physical characteristics between individuals." Comment: Well, as our scientists try to understand how DNA works, most do not understand that our DNA is linked to the environment and our evolutionary progression is rapidly accelerating NOW. Beginning of 11-year cycle of space weather could affect GPS satellites Kansas City Star, 9th January 2008 "Memo to the U.S. military, airlines, power companies and all others who depend on global positioning satellites and, well, technology to keep life humming: Scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration say that within the next few years Earth will be in a powerful astronomical cycle with enough technological consequences to create a neat scientific thriller. Call it Space Weather." Sunspot Is Harbinger Of New Solar Cycle, Increasing Risk For Electrical Systems SpaceDaily.com, 8th January 2008 ScienceDaily (Jan. 8, 2008) — A new 11-year cycle of heightened solar activity, bringing with it increased risks for power grids, critical military, civilian and airline communications, GPS signals and even cell phones and ATM transactions, showed signs it was on its way late Thursday when the cycle's first sunspot appeared in the sun's Northern Hemisphere, NOAA scientists said. "This sunspot is like the first robin of spring," said solar physicist Douglas Biesecker of NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center. "In this case, it's an early omen of solar storms that will gradually increase over the next few years."Maybe they should have mentioned that as humans are electromagnetic, there is an impact on our subtle bodies thus effecting us mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. |
