Earth Changes Bulletin Update As Of
June 4, 2003
You have heard of the Weather Report? Here exclusively is this week’s "Earth
Report" - a short review of the “big picture” about how the dynamic changes
in the Sun and the Earth are effecting our lives more and more intensely, with the latest
prognostications and predictions for weathermen, farmers, investors, businessmen, and
every man.
This update is keyed to the Earth Changes 2003 Almanac Calendar. The framework for
understanding these updates and much of the current status information is maintained in
capsule form in the Almanac at the locations cited in the text of this Update.
On the geophysical front, things are calming down on all levels. Volcanism is down. After
a very spritzy time last week, solar activity is way down this week. Earthquakes, though
frequency has been high, are muted in size. Accordingly, even the weather is now calming
down, though there is enough energy which will be streaming from the sun into the
Earth’s atmosphere for the next several days to keep weather patterns as they are
today. Thereafter, expect a normal June.
For the geopolitical front, conflict in international affairs are taking a most welcome
break while Bush takes his style of diplomacy on the road. He may be able to call this
past few days his best week in the Presidency. It would appear that the making of peace in
Palestine is now going to be the international Mass Broadcast Media reality TV soap show
for the Summer. The focus on peace shall surely be widely welcomed around the world. Let
us really pray it works. This is where we should have been a year ago before we were
rudely dragooned by the Imperial Faction into the invasion of Iraq. Do you think it really
was the high numbers of sunspots and massive solar storms? I definitely do believe they
were a part of it. _____________________________________________________________________
Program Thesis: What are we trying to do with the Earth Changes Bulletin?
Most news media do not handle technical and scientific subjects like geology and earth
sciences very well. They don't understand the causes and effects of activities in the Sun
and Earth. Accordingly, they often do not understand if, when, how, why to report
earthquakes, volcanic activity, global warming effects The treatment often sounds
absent-minded, poorly qualified, and frequently contains various technical errors. Seldom
is the treatment entertaining and genuinely educational.
Based on new scientific principles which have emerged during the past thirty years, many
of the dynamic activities of the Sun and Earth can be linked together to see how a range
of effects are linked together. This makes it possible to paint "the big
picture" into a perspective which explains many diverse events and processes,
especially climate and weather patterns such as global warming and El Nino. From the
"big picture", long range predictions can be made for weeks and even months
ahead.
The result is sophisticated cutting-edge information which is objective, balanced, astute,
relevant, and can be easily seen and appreciated by lay audiences. The perspective is
generally global, seldom parochial.
For the framework of concepts, terms, and current conditions which are used or described
in the these Bulletins, see the Earth Changes 2003 Almanac Calendar.

If anyone has any suggestions about evolving these pages, now is a good time as I devote a
few minutes each day to revising menus and adding new links.
HOUSEKEEPING:
We are back on the air with Alex Merklinger, 30 minutes on Wednesday nights for a quick
review of major events, 6 PM Arizona Time, or 9 PM EDT
Go to http://www.mysteriesofthemind.com/
NEARLY COMPLETE:
THE COMING COLLAPSE OF 2006, which puts today, tomorrow, and the trends together into the
Cayce 25 year economic cycle which will “bottom” in 2006/2007. I WANT YOUR HELP
TO PROOF READ IT.
I will make a major announcement tomorrow about how to tune into this. For paid
subscribers, this will be available free at the MetaSyn Media ebooks site.
POLAR MOTION
What is happening to the motion of the Earth.
AS REPORTED LAST WEEK: Steady as she goes even if a bit eccentric. Motion seems to be
smooth. not jerky, not erratic. Polar motion is similar as it has been but it continues to
be substantially outside the proper "groove". This is probably a strong signal
of major displacement in the average location of the spin axis during the past several
years.
NEW THIS WEEK AND IMPORTANT:
It is beginning to look like we have a wobble in the wobble. In other words, the
acceleration of the drift of the average location of the spin axis may be driven by a
specific mass dis-equilibrium in the Earth-Moon-Sun system. Mathematically gifted people
beyond my talents might be able to begin to compute out what imbalance in the Earth's mass
is causing this apparent wobble within the wobble.
The most evident signal of this wobble within the wobble is the fact that the spiral track
of the moving spin axis is once again crossing two previous spiral tracks within a few
months time, in nearly the same quadrant of the Earth. This implies a nodding motion or a
back and forth motion along an axis which is stronger than ever before. Normally, if the
Earth were well balanced, the spin axis should take about 14 months to cross a previous
spiral track.
This nodding in the wobble is probably driving the acceleration in the drift. Along either
Long. West or East 90 is where (roughly) the mass imbalance will be found which is driving
the nodding.
Currently the Earth’s axis, as it always is during and near the Summer Solstice, is
parallel with the Sun. It is neither pointing towards the Sun nor away from the Sun. The
location of the Northern end of the Spin axis, relative to the surface of the earth, is
now beginning to move away from Long. West 90 towards Greenwich Meridian. If someone had
the time, it would be a very interesting project to build a database of just large quakes
for the entire world and see if increased activity parallels with every time the North
Spin Axis is near its 14 month “Y Wave” cycle maximum (every time the North Spin
Axis is as close as it can get to the Great Lakes Region). One would especially look for
parallel in activity with when the Spin Axis is oriented as it is during the Solstices.
AS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED: Despite many alarm bells being passed by psychics, there is not
even a hint at the moment in the actual motion of the pole to suggest that there is going
to be a sudden shifting in the poles next month (May) or some time later in this year.
FOR NEWBIES: for the basic forecast, logic, and precursor signals of the next avalanche of
the crust (pole shift), should check out:

ecbulletin_April30_2003.htm
watch the wrap of URLs onto a second line - any segment which dangles on a second line
must be copied manually into the browser after clicking on the first line.
REPEATED: PRELIMINARY FIGURE FOR RECENT DISPLACEMENT: This is a preliminary indication
which needs more work: the average location of the pole appears to have shifted possibly
as much as 91.1 inches or 231.5 centimeters since the beginning of 1996. That implies an
average rate of shifting of the poles since 1996 of 13 inches/yr. or 33 centimeters/year.
This rate is substantially higher than it has been during most of the 20th century. What
the rate of acceleration may be I cannot determine at the current time. Is the crust of
the Earth currently slipping over the molten mantle at a faster rate? Probably yes.
To see the current graph of polar motion, see
http://www.michaelmandeville.com/earthmonitor/topten_monitor.htm
Scroll down the page until you get to the black and white graphs with show the x and y
coordinates of the North Spin Axis on two separate graphs.
For additional current details:
see http://www.michaelmandeville.com/ebooks/
calendar2003/currentconditions.htm#polarmotion
(watch the word wrap)
FOR NEWBIES: The vortex tectonics paradigm of the earth holds that polar motion in the 6.5
year wobble cycle (Chandler’s) creates the major stress in the Earth’s crust
which is released by lunar tidal forces each month in the form of earthquakes and
volcanism. The acceleration in the motion of the drift of the poles and its relocation
forces an increasing tempo in the shape shifting of the Equatorial zone, where 70% of
tectonic activity occurs. Accordingly, earthquakes and volcanic activity should increase
in frequency and magnitude.
PLANETS (all time coordinates here and elsewhere are in UTC unless otherwise noted)
The Moon this day is in its North Node (North of the Earth’s Equator) and will enter
the Full Moon Syzygy Window on June 11. The Full Moon will be on June 14 with Perigee
preceding it on June 12. (Perigee = the Moon’s closest approach to the Earth during
its monthly orbit which increases gravitational influence of the Moon by as much as 15%;
Apogee = the Moon’s greatest distance from the Earth during its monthly orbit).
Today we are in a planetary alignments with Mercury | Neptune on June 4 which produced a
peak sunspot count on May 22 at 110. The next planetary alignment is Mercury | Uranus on
June 10.
The June 4 alignment did not produce much of a peak: only 117 on May 28. The June 10
alignment has probably already produced a very minor peak in sunspots.
See Earth Changes 2003 Almanac Calendar for additional details
http://www.michaelmandeville.com/ebooks/calendar2003/
The Almanac lays out the planets and the lunar phases for entire year in advance to allow
you to find the best and worst periods of weather, earthquake activity, ethereal
“lunar” influences, etc.
PLANET WATCHING:
NASA: “JUPITER AND THE MOON: The crescent moon will be pleasingly close to Jupiter
tonight in the western sky. Step outside after sunset--even if the sky is still glowing,
bright Jupiter and the moon will be easy to see. A small telescope trained on Jupiter will
reveal the planet's cloud belts and its largest satellites.”
Jupiter is hard to miss. It will be the first star which is visible at sunset while
looking to the Southwest (if you live in the Northern Hemisphere).
SUNSPOTS
The events in the solar atmosphere which impact weather and climate patterns, the magnetic
field and auroras, including forecasts for the week, month, and year ahead. To follow the
numbers below, view the Solar Cycle 23 Chart at
http://www.michaelmandeville.com/earthmonitor/topten_monitor.htm
Sunspots peaked at 117 on May 28 for the Mercury | Neptune Alignment (nominally eight days
early). The count then slide down to 62 on June 1 and then slide down again to 53
yesterday (June 3).
Solar flux at 115 and headed south (to lower numbers). For the first time since early last
year, the sunspot peaks during most of May were lower than the Solar Flux Index number.
This suggests rather strongly that the Sunspot Peak for Solar Cycle 23 is now definitely
over.
WHICH BRINGS TO FULFILLMENT OF THE PROJECTIONS WE MADE A YEAR AGO, WHICH SUGGESTED THAT
THEY PEAK WOULD MOST LIKELY BE DEFINITELY OVER POSSIBLY AS EARLY AS JANUARY 2003, NO LATER
THAN APRIL OR MAY 2003.
So it would seem.
After this last spritzy couple of weeks with the Sun, things should now taper to normal
The next new low may go perhaps all the way down to 10-20 by about June 10. I doubt that
the Mercury | Uranus alignment is going to produce much in the way of a sunspot peak. It
may have already produced what it was going to create on June 1.
NEWBIES: for a discussion of what has been learned with the planetary alignments producing
high sunspot counts and solar storms and these in turn creating major storm activity in
the Earth’s atmosphere, tune into this Sunspot Section in the last Earth Changes
Bulletin Update:

line must be copied manually into the browser after clicking on the first line.
Over all, the sunspot average count for February was 46.4 and for March it rose to 61.5.
The number for April was 60. May’s average is 55 (as reported by Jan Alvastad).
speed: km/s
As of this moment, the Solar Wind Speed is quite robust at 764.6 km/s but at this hour
(about 2 PM, AZ time) it is pushing only a very modest density indeed of 1.1 protons/cm3.
These momentary fluctuations mean little during times such as this week. Currently the
Fluxgate Charts at the University of Alaska shows two large disturbances this past 24
hours (as of this Arizona afternoon writing) with a couple of spikes clear off the charts.
The solar wind is highly gusty and unpredictable, but not nearly as choppy as it was
during preceding weeks.
EVEN SO, THIS IS STILL AN EXCELLENT TIME TO FORGET ABOUT SPACE VOYAGING, LAUNCHING
SATELLITES, ETC. THE EUROPEANS SHOULD HAVE WAITED A LITTLE WHILE LONGER, SAY A COUPLE OF
WEEKS, TO LAUNCH THEIR ROCKET SHIP TOWARDS MARS.
NASA SOLAR STORM PREDICTIONS:
“Earth is inside a solar wind stream flowing from the indicated coronal hole”.
NASA today is predicting modest probabilities of solar storms and flares, around 50%
probabilities.
NASA’S AURORA OUTLOOK: Earth is inside a high-speed solar wind stream, which means
sky watchers should remain alert for auroras tonight. The best observing sites will be at
high latitudes: e.g., southern parts of New Zealand and Australia, northern Europe,
Canada, and northern US states like Wisconsin and Michigan.”
Jan Alvestad reports: “The geomagnetic field was unsettled to minor storm on June 3.
Solar wind speed ranged between 690 and 881 km/sec under the influence of a high speed
stream from coronal hole CH42. A huge recurrent coronal hole (CH42) in the southern
hemisphere will rotate into a geoeffective position on May 29-June 6.”
Jan Alvestad predicts: “The geomagnetic field is expected to be unsettled to minor
storm until June 9 due to a high speed stream from coronal hole CH42.
20%-60% probability of M or X class flares.”
See http://www.dxlc.com/solar/
EARTH WEATHER PREDICTION FOR THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS:
The weather this past week performed pretty much as expected. But things settled fairly
rapidly. A lot of that energy in the atmosphere got expended as rain, not tornadoes.
Is the weather finally going to normalize? It all depends upon the Sun. We are going to
get a pretty robust solar wind stream during the next six days so energy levels will
remain high but probably less petulant. Expect more or less the same as today’s
weather.
Oh what a relief! The next storm front may come June 7 to June 18 but this one should be
minor. In huge contrast to early May, most of June’s weather should return to mildly
normal after about the 10th.
GLOBAL DROUGHT AND FLOOD WATCH
Stories and assessments about drought and flood conditions around the world; global
information which provides the ability to assess the impacts to agriculture and the
natural environment. For additional details, see
http://www.michaelmandeville.com/ebooks/calendar2003
Ethiopia, East Africa, and Southern India are in dire straits. Severe damage is destroying
the eco-system and the human cultures.
EL NINO WATCH:
AS PREVIOUSLY PREDICTED: There may be a La Nina during the later part of 2003 and through
part of 2004, but it is likely that it will be barely noticeable because of the
accumulated “Global Warming” and the relatively high levels of volcanic heat
venting in the Earth. The next El Nino is likely to appear in 2005 or 2006.

EARTHQUAKES
Around the world to see the current and potential patterns of seismic activity, with
coverage of the windows of danger. I prepared this section by pulling out the Earth
Changes 2003 Calendar which has everything plotted on it. You should too. Check out the
Almanac as well, it discusses all of the windows for the year and even spotlights the two
most dangerous windows.
Magnitudes during this past week were moderate but the frequencies were two to three times
higher than normal for the New Moon Syzygy Window. The highest count for 2.5 plus quakes
was on May 29 at 30, all other days had high counts of over 15. Today will probably be the
same even though we are out of the syzygy window as of yesterday.
RECENT EVENTS OF INTEREST THIS PAST FEW DAYS
Quake activity was widely scattered throughout all continents and margins. The greatest
frequency of activity seems to have followed the great quakes of the preceding week. The
greatest activity among of activity was along the Pacific Plate margin from Japan down
through the Philippines to Borneo and then East through Papua to Fiji and New Zealand. The
activity was most concentrated from the great bend in the margin of the Pacific Plate just
to the East of Borneo and along the great arc from Papua to Fiji.
Hard to say what was the most interesting quake activity. Here is a stronger than normal
quake from my old stomping grounds:

Overall North American activity was contrarian to the Syzygy Window.
The USGS charts (such charts show all quakes 1.0 and above) for the U.S. and Alaska show
361 quakes for the past seven days (which is down substantially from last week’s 511)
with the USGS chart for California/Nevada showing 275 quakes in California/Nevada during
the past seven days (which is way down from last week’s 448).
Activity in California in proportion to activity in the remainder of North America has
dropped way down back to normal after nearly a couple of months of high elevated
frequency.
The trends were mixed for other local areas, some up some down. The USGS Chart of
Yellowstone Cauldera Area shows 33 microquakes during the last week (up from last
week’s 15) and 29 quakes scattered throughout Utah (down from 35 last week). Hood had
no microquakes and the USGS chart for Long Valley Cauldera (Area) showed a running total
of 19 (down from 24 last week). The USGS Chart for the Pacific Northwest reveals 31 quakes
(two week sum, up from 27 microquakes last week) most of them mostly clustered within the
Puget Sound region of Washington State.
VOLCANOES
Around the world with the most interesting and relevant volcano stories; briefs on the
likely eruptions as well as coverage of on-going activity.
El Popo offered a 4 puff day yesterday, down from last Wednesday. Centrapred reports for
June 4 (16:00 GMT) that “In the last 24 hours the monitoring system of the
Popocatepetl volcano recorded 4 low intensity exhalations, accompanied mainly by steam and
gas. The other monitored parameters remain without important changes. At this moment the
volcano cannot be seen due to dense clouds.”
Following on last week’s flatline activity, volcanic activity worldwide this past
seven days has declined. The Southwest Volcano Centre reports 35 volcanoes on the alert
status list (down 4 from last week), 4 volcanoes on the restless list (down one from last
week), and 19 on the active eruption list (down six from last week).
Great new photo’s of Kilauea were posted at
http://www.swvrc.org/cerupt.htm
CAYCE VOLCANISM WATCH: No pattern is currently evident
ECONOMIC WATCH
AS PREVIOUSLY PREDICTED: It is doubtful that any economic recovery will begin to be felt
until later in the year, probably not until Fall of 2003.
DITECH.COM ARBITRAGER:
Their TV ad rates were the same as last week’s: 4.875 and 5.168 as of today for short
and long term rates.
Economy remains with no apparent wind in its sails.
BUT, THE BULLS HAVE STARTED STOMPING. Typically, economic recovery is heralded by a steady
uptick in the stock market. It appears that May was the signal for this. Expect the stock
market to keep reaching for larger numbers but expect a lot of sudden mood swings. There
are a lot of factors out there which can suddenly spook the Bulls.
I STRONGLY ADVISE NOT FOLLOWING THE LEAD OF THE STOCK BULLS. TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO
OVER-REACT. THE COMING STOCK BUBBLE IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE IRRATIONAL BY ALL LIGHTS. PART
OF THE PROBLEM IS THE SAME AS IN 1929. MONEY IS SOOOOOOOOO CHEAP, IT IS TOOOOOO EASY TO
SPECULATE ON IRRATIONAL MARGINS.
Don’t put money in this bubble on a blind flyer from the New York tipsters. Avoid as
well most of the internet tipsters. There are a lot of market makers out there with
newsletters who talk up a small volume stock. Why? For newsletter subscription fees?
Hahahah. Just to double their money at your expense. I suspect the problem is rampant.
Stock tipstering is the ultimate pyramid scam. Know what you are doing.
EURO WATCH
Here is the two year chart for the value of the dollar vis a vis the Euro
http://finance.yahoo.com/m5?s=USD&t=EUR&a=1&c=2
In Mid November 2001, the dollar could purchase about Euro 1.18
In May 2002, the dollar could purchase about Euro 1.10.
During the past two months, the dollar could purchase about Euro .91 to.93
Five weeks ago, the dollar could purchase about Euro .8946
Three weeks ago the dollar can purchase about Euro .8745
Two weeks ago the dollar can purchase about Euro .859
Last week the dollar can purchase about Euro 0.8507
Today the dollar can purchase about Euro 0.859
In other words, the dollar on average appears to have stabilized this week. This comes
after Bush told the G8 that he supports a strong dollar policy, which apparently was a
signal he put out to over-ride rumors and comments from other U.S. government officials
that the U.S. was shifting to a weak dollar policy.
Nonetheless, the international talk is abuzz about the weakening of the dollar. Most
analysts expect the dollar to end up in the range of .70 sometime in the latter part of
this year or early next year.
So for the moment a finger in the dike is holding back the flooding of cheap dollars, but
don’t expect this pause this week to last very long. MORE LIKELY THAN NOT, THE GIANT
SUCKING SOUND OF VALUE BEING REMOVED FROM THE AMERICAN ECONOMY WILL CONTINUE.
I STILL believe that it is well worth buying euros now.
The job situation still looks bleak and it will probably remain bleak throughout this year
unless you have a clean background and are willing to work for less than $10 in the
burgeoning security industry.
GENERAL PREDICTION DJI AVERAGES:
Conditions remain unstable
Bad economic signals and the upsurge of terrorism this past two days suggest slowdown,
Bulls are silently mulling. If Al Qaeda comes in with a stronger play, markets will go
more deeply south for at least a month.
The DJI gained 500 points during April with many 200 point mood swings to close April 30
at 8,502. The DJI gained another 350 points or so in May with many of the same kind of
mood swings to close the month on May 29 at 8,850.26. This gave the DJI averages 50 more
points than the range I predicted last week.
We can probably expect to see an acceleration of growth during June. By the time the Dog
Days set in the DJI may be up in the range of 9500, plus or minus 300, BUT this is proviso
because of the fragility of both the economy and international politics. Strong negatives
in the news could depress these numbers and keep the DJI under 9000. Eventually this
number will flatten during July and August and will then continue to inch up during the
Fall. By the end of the year, the DJI may be pushing 10,000, but only if jobs are being
created and retailers are reporting a decent year end sales season.
Today, June 4, the DJI was at 9,038. Expect mood swings in the range of 300 and the week
may close on a highly positive note because of progress being made in the Middle East on
the Palestinian conflict. But the averages will sink next week.
AS PREVIOUSLY STATED: Beyond 9000, the market cannot remain until a real turn around is
evident in the U.S. economy. So far we are STILL empty-handed in this department.
BUT, it is clear that a buying strategy should now be undertaken. Wait for a slight
downturn back under 9000, and then execute.
MAJOR ADVERSE CONTINGENCIES:
SARS - The SARS virus may disrupt even more air travel enough to cause another depressive
wave to flow through the economy, which will send the stock market south by a long ways.
If so, ALL BETS are off. This nasty downward economic spiral could continue and induce
another huge depressionary wave.
Conditions in Iraq - chaotic
Saddam – this old troll is going to create more problems
U.S. Diplomacy - distracted, unfocused, and self-contradicted
Price of Oil - improving
Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda – the threat is growing
Palestinian Peace Process – may be improving under Powell’s management
U.S. Credibility – the weapons of mass destruction Big Lie is coming home to roost,
this may undermine the stock markets with jitters about the survival of the Bush
administration.
HEALTH WATCH
SARIS SITUATION dwindling rapidly, despite occasional flare-ups.
GEO-POLITICAL WATCH
How are the sunspots likely to most effect human affairs during the weeks and months
ahead?
We are now where we should have been this time last year, undertaking to create peace in
Palestine. I hope all of the people involved can get this one together and set the world
on the right path. By deciding that Israel will have to negotiate the end to the West Bank
settlements, Sharon has given much to convince the Arabs he is serious. It is a good
beginning. Let us hope he can carry the Jewish side with him. And let us hope that Al
Qaeda has nothing more in the terrorist pipeline at the moment.
Implementing a peace accord is the most important step to take for winning the war on
terrorism. With a Palestinian state in harmony with Israel, terrorism will slowly wane.
SIGN OF THE TIMES: it looks like, America’s hot adventure “reality” show,
“The Empire Strikes Back” HAS successfully keep much of the corporate scandals
under the rug. Ken Lay, just a good ole boy Texan, the Presiding Officer of the rape of
California Consumers, otherwise known as Enron, is still scott free with his crooked
billions…None of the indicted crooks are in jail. ARE YOU SURPRISED?
SIGN OF THE TIMES II: We still have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE KILLED AND
INJURED IN IRAQ. Did you even notice?
SIGN OF THE TIMES III: We still have ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE THAT SADDAM HUSSEIN HAD
WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION. Are you holding your breath?
Out of hundreds of obvious big time scamster CEO and corporate executive thefts of
corporate treasuries which have come to light in the last two years, only 15 or so are
currently being prosecuted, none are in jail. Martha Stewart, a major contributor to
liberal causes and the Democratic Party, is now indicted for listening to her stock broker
and dumping some $270,000 of stock which was about to become worth a lot less. Never mind
that Bush Junior did the same thing with nearly $750,000 in stock. Talk about glass
ceilings.
LIKE THE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION BIG LIE, THIS IS A DELIBERATE POLITICAL MANIPULATION
OF BOTH THE MASS MEDIA AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC. It has been the general norm for the past
40 years that such “crimes” with stocks (which are practically impossible to
really prove) are settled through refunds being made by the seller.
To their credit, Martha Stewart’s lawyer is promising to raise this up as it should
be, as a political issue of duplicitous and selective enforcement of a minor offense, if
it was one, to masquerade the refusal of the Bush administration to go after their Texas
and other cronies, many of them obviously guilty of stealing huge sums of money through
one-sided contracts approved by phony rubber-stamp boards of directors.
I don’t personally like Martha Stewart, even as a lot of people don’t like her.
Maybe this is because I have been too conditioned by the Mass Broadcast Media. In any
event, I am rooting for her on this one. I smell a hug scam.
Speaking of scams, the Tax Cut. Ahem. This butchering of the Republic’s tax code is
aimed at forestalling any attempt to create a national health plan in this country or
increase social security allotments to the elderly. The Imperial Faction is way ahead of
us in this area as well. The wars are only the distractions to keep us busy.
