A great many elements of the Anglo-American establishment are now clearly warning the American people that the Cheney/Bush Junta is out-of-control and is a clear and present danger to the world. Russia's President Putin is now warning the entire world that the escalation of the military occupation in Iraq is a fatal mistake and that the Cheney/Bush Junta will end up destroying America if it endeavors to expand its demented war plans against Iran. Inside Washington DC, intelligence "flies on the walls" of the corridors of war and peace are telling Seymour Hersh, one of leading journalists of this time whose expertise spans the entire cold war from Vietnam to Iraqnam, that THE WAR PLAN IS ALREADY SET. The 911 Deception, an article by MW Mandeville, appears in the December-January copy of Nexus Magazine. __________ |
(June 4, 2007 ECB; MWM)
June 22-24 in Vancouver, BC: World-Class Conference On 911 Hoax, The War Of Terror, and loss of Canadian Sovereignty To The Masters of War. If you live in the Pacific Northwest, GO. If you are new to your awakening and live anywhere, GO, it will be well worth your while.
COSMIC FACTORS: Sunspots rose from 0 and then peaked on June 3 at 56 with a rising Flux of 86. Activity should continue to bounce up and down most of this month as a number of "bunchings" in the planetary alignments keep stirring the solar pot and keep Solar Activity counts above Solar Minimum for a good portion of June. NASA predicts substantial possibilities of major M and X class flares from Super Sunspot Area 960 during the next several days. No serious magnetic disturbances are in the solar wind and upper atmosphere this day, but this could change in a heartbeat. From this point the planets will group closer and the remainder of June will see a resurgence of solar activity, just in time to stimulate the Atlantic into an active hurricane season, which scientists now predict will be substantially above average in numbers of storms and probabilities of impact on North America. La Nina in the Pacific is hanging in there tightly on the East Pacific Equator, most likely to produce a long hot dry Summer in the Southwestern region possibly extending through to the next El Nino which may not appear until 2008. A huge swath of anomalously warm North Pacfic water, extending from the International Dateline to the Gulf of Alaska, likely will power vast currents of wet warm air into the northern portions of North America, making Alaska, Yukon, BC, Washington, Oregon, Northern California and due east to Ontario a vast summer flood pan. Northern Chaos we can call this Summer, is on the way. All in all, MORE THAN EVER, this looks like a year of somewhat fast-paced cosmic chaos, making all results very difficult to predict, but more probable than not the deadly twisters in the Great Plains will continue their activity through June and they most probably are good indicators of vicious hurricanes soon to come this year. GEOPHYSICAL FACTORS: Polar Motion - the wobble spiral track continues to expand as it should. Seismic activity 4+ has increased in frequency for this just past Full Moon in Extreme South Declination (Dragon's Tail, so-called in traditional lore). As expected, this Syzygy Window was not exceptional. A weak Perigee on June 11 is coming your way, but this is not likely to produce anything memorable. Meanwhile volcanic activity has decreased a little during the past seven days with the active list down 2 to total 32, making this now many weeks of seesawing up and down by a couple of volcanoes. Many ash emissions and a few lava extrusions continue, and our herald in the Pacific, Kilauea, continues an aggressive lava extrusion. Soufriere Hills, though, as is Colima, are about asleep. SPIRITUAL FLUX - FIRE IS COMING IN THE GRID JULY 17 2007 Let's do it: http://www.firethegrid.com/ In the meantime, the Warcast Media will work assiduously at shilling the expansion of militarism in the Middle East. The Imperial Faction is not noticing that no one is paying any attention to their vain efforts...the flood of deceptions, denials, and rationalizations which continue to pour out are simply draining away into the sand of time. Truly, the incubus of imperial ambition is dissolving everywhere even in this moment of its highest elevation, even as it crows about its apparent dominion over the world, the world turns away. GEOPOLITICAL FLUX: We may have to live in this historical sh#t-hole of collective dishonor with blood on our hands for another 18 months, minimum. By playing out the Pelosi-Reid surrender of "support our troops by giving the Bush another blank check", the Democrats are stupidly moving in ways which will extend the carnage for many more months. Worse, far worse, the Democrats are falling into the next round of traps set by the dark maestros of the Cabal. All they need is more time to set the stage for the next False Flag Opera. The net end result: extreme fractionalization is increasing and an exceptional breakdown of the two party electoral system is already well underway. The Imperial Faction will drive the degeneration, inadvertently, by forcing increased synthetic terror in various forms and by playing out a serious covert campaign to incite a war with Iran. It is the last strategic piece which extreme Zionazi's want to suck out of the of the dying Bush regime, but it is not likely they can do so without creating even greater extreme controversy and agitation in the U.S. GEO-ECONOMIC FLUX: No change.....As predicted here during the last few years, the Global System is now rapidly readjusting all basic American economic values to pay for the tragedy in Iraq and the outsourcing of economic production abroad. The slide continues. You want more stats? You don't need them. All Bears are warning everywhere of a further slide in the value of the dollar relative to Euro and Gold. Act accordingly. Euro economic expansion is accelerating. Eurasian economic links are displacing North American dynamics. The world economy, by intelligent choice of Eurasians, is bifurcating and will pull a good portion of Latin America with it. North American economy can tank out in bankruptcy while Eurasia continues to expand. The illegal aliens in the U.S. have traveled the wrong direction. In a few years, a good portion will be going South. All this will be evident in spades during the next 36 months.
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS: A major collection of graphs, charts, and links to information and databases is nearing collection. It more or less represents my collected "notes" and analysis of Earth Changes (including Global Warming and climate change phenomenon) for completion of a new verification of Edgar Cayce's Earth Change Prophecies and analysis of how the "shifting of the poles" is likely to take place. This has taken enormously more time than I originally anticipated for the revision of the Trilogy (like over an extra year) because of the explosion of research data about the Earth which the Global Warming scare has "induced" through liberal funding. These "notes" would take hundreds of pages to publish, hence very little of it will appear in the final book of the Trilogy. The resulting verification will be many more times powerful and thorough than the work in the first edition of the Trilogy. Based on the new material I can provide a disciplined set of exact criteria and time windows for the lead-in phases, crescendo peak, and down-slope of the Event Horizon of the Fifth Phoenix (we are in it now and we have **perhaps** another 20 years before we hit the other side) . Some of the background material will appear in a follow-on book which is titled "The Nine Trends Which Are Changing The Earth". Because my collection is so powerful in demonstrating a completely new perspective about the Earth and its history, all of it will be made to appear on the web or on CD for subscribers during the following months, to be known as "The Earth Changes Gallery". The Gallery will never be complete in the sense that this will become a growing collection. The existing collection still requires more organization and editing of the explanations and concluding points, perhaps another three weeks of work. At the moment I am completing one of the major "floors" in the Gallery - the "Solar Activity Cycle" and how it does and does not connect with the major trends. Check out these two charts in which everything comes together and the logic of my arguments "turn" with the changes in the "trends".
Correlation of Solar Activity Cycle With XY Plots of the Earth's Wobble 1890-2006. When it loads, click on the image to make your browser enlarge it to the correct giant size. Scroll across it. Notice Sunspot Cycle 19. What happens thereafter to the Earth's Wobble which is distinctly new? Why has nobody put this together yet? This is one of a dozen profound connections I have made in the past few months. Notice the date of Sunspot Cycle 19 MAX. Where else have you seen this date? Ah yes, Edgar Cayce....in 1934 or 36 describing the advent of Major Activities in the Earth Changes --- 1958! Correlation of Solar Activity, World Termperature Trend, and Heat Gain Trend In The World Ocean 1867-2004 This is deliberately small so you stare with a 150 year vision all at once. Ask yourself, what connects with what? What REALLY connects with what? Then connect the critical transition dates with the first chart which has the XY plots in it. Then, if you are familiar with the graphs on world volcanism which I have produced, you will realize that WHILE the XY Plots "separate" in the graph, world volcanism and earthquake activity trend lines begin to accelerate manyfold, the oceans warm, and Global Warming becomes the fourth place topic on the news (after war and corruption and sex).
I have DOZENS of supporting graphs which I have collected from other researchers which prove the reality of these "connections". Many of these will be posted within the next couple of months. You should see what I can do with the Phoenix 4 Event Horizon 12,500 Before Present. The Global Warming paleo researchers are not proving up their favorite theories about CO2 but you should see what they are doing proving up Edgar Cayce's comments about the past.
Go see a chart which demonstrates plainly and simply that neither the Sun nor Greenhouse Gases cause Global Warming: Solar Activity - Irradiance Correlation 1975-2005.

THE WAR PLAN "...in recent months, the former intelligence official told me, a special planning group has been established in the offices of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, charged with creating a contingency bombing plan for Iran that can be implemented, upon orders from the President, within twenty-four hours..." "the current contingency plans allow for an attack order this spring..." Seymour Hersh, in the "The New Yorker" Magazine, Posted February 26, 2007 for the March 5, 2007 Issue. Article citation: "The Redirection: Is the Administration’s new policy benefitting our enemies in the war on terrorism?" MWM: Such a plan is not a contingency plan. It is a war plan. MWM: MOST LIKELY THE COOKY WING OF THE CABAL IS NOW BLOCKED FROM BROADENING THE WAR INTO IRAN. BUSH IS A DESTROYED PRESIDENT WHO NO LONG COMMANDS SUFFICIENT CREDIBILITY TO SUCCESSFULLY CONDUCT WAR EXPANSION. THE MAIN THREAT OF WAR FOR THE REMAINDER OF 2007 IS A FALSE-FLAG OPERATION CONTRIVED BY THE MOSSAD TO WHICH ISRAEL RESPONDS DIRECTLY WITH A BOMBING ATTACK ON IRAN. |

SOLAR ACTIVITY: Solar Storms, Sunspots, Ionic Wind, Magnetic Disturbances ALMANAC | BACKGROUND | EARTHMONITOR LINKS | LATEST
[6-4-07 ECB] A modest count of 0 Sunspots last week climbed all week to a surprising peak of 78 on May 3, with Flux climbing out of 69 to 87 and still rising. The June 1 planetary alignments have indeed stirred up some activity, which is not surprising because it connects Mercury with Venus and Earth with Jupiter, all of which induce major vortices in the Solar Vortex, and even more so as pairs. During June some of the planets are "grouping" together and a series of near or real alignments during June may keep the solar pot boiling at elevated levels. Over all, however, this activity should be modest and probably this current peak is about as high as it will get during June.
[6-4-07 ECB] This farside photo has not been updated so the status is unclear today. The prior week there were no sunspots on the farside. [Holographic image credit: SOHO/MDI] [6-4-07 ECB] Quick Solar Activity Forecast For May From Planetary Alignments: OOPPSS!. Instead of happening early, like I suggested last week, THIS FOLLOWING PREDICTION MOST LIKELY is happening right now! A major two-header alignments of Mercury | Venus and Earth | Jupiter will appear on June 1, thus the last week of May should see the count soar substantially in a fairly "thick" spike of several days, perhaps to as high as 50. There may be another bump in this wave of activity. From this point (May 21) solar activity could rise briefly to the same magnitude that we saw during the past several days.

magnetic field in the Earth’s high atmosphere (called the Planetary A
Index).

[6-4-07 ECB] Average Solar Counts for January - April 2007: Flux: 83 in January, 77 in February, 72 in April, 74.4 in May. Spots: ISSN - 16.9 in January, 10.6 in February, 4.8 for March, 3.7 in April, 11.7 in May, a little above the prediction THE MARCH AND APRIL AVERAGES WERE SEVERAL POINTS BELOW NASA'S PREDICTED LEVE, MAY SLIGHTLY ABOVE. Solar Sunspot Cycle 23 may be mostly gone but it looks like Sunspot Cycle 24, as predicted by the European scientific consortium (Belgium) is not likely to happen until latter in the year, perhaps not until early 2008.
Solar Cycle 24 Predictions: [4-30-07 ECB] Another round of predictions for Solar Cycle 24 is now being tendered through NASA and other sources. Using more traditional statistical methods, dates for the beginning of the next cycle have been pushed back to Spring 2008. We now have predicted dates ranging from NOW through to April/May 2008. [2-12-07 ECB] There are now three major focal points for predictions of the beginning of Cycle 24. One cluster is for March 2007. Another is for Fall 2007, which is probably NASA/NOAA's most prevalent opinion. A third is January 2008. I personally lean toward January 2008, which is the official prediction of the EU's apparently most prominent solar group.
[3-26-07 ECB] Conservative predictions shown in red by Hathaway, NASA/NOAA, 2007, uses an older statistically-based model. Other predictions using Solar Dynamic Models indicate a higher peak for Cycle 24. Cycle 25 "seems" too low in this chart when compared to the past nine Activity Cycles The Phoenix Five Revised Scenario will be based on the following logic: These projected Solar Activity Cycles are of immense importance because of the impact of Cycle 19 on the shifting of the Spin Axis in 1958. Cycle 24 may be as large as Cycle 19 and this may bring enough new shifting and tectonic motion in the Earth's crust to initiate major tectonic ruptures around the Pacific Rim. From now through to the MAX of Cycle 24, increasing break up in the crust may be evident through a variety of increased tectonic activities. During the MAX years of 2011-2014, the ruptures may begin the long predicted destructions in the Western U.S. The final breakup of the crust may occur during the MAX period of Cycle 25, which is not likely to be so small as shown here. In all cases we will be watching the Great Rift for the auguries. Always, the windows of greatest danger will be the combination of the "whammies", New Moon or Full Moon, Perigee, Perihelion, Mercury aligned with another inner planet or even Jupiter, during the peak years of the Solar Cycle. Add as well the Eclipse Nodal Cycle (18 years) to find the extremes in the Lunar Sygygy, the next of which occurs in 2022. It is the splitting of the Great Rift which is the key to the entire Earth Changes phenomenon, including the current waves of Global Warming and acidification of the oceans. The Wobble pumps the Great Rift and the Great Rift spreads the tectonic plates and forces the motions which cause them to buckle and grind against each other... and every once in a very great while the tectonic plates avalanche together en masse to redistribute their mass to achieve a better condition of balance in the spinning vortices of the Earth-Moon-Sun System..
Magnetic Disturbances: (As Shown By Fluxgate
Monitor at the
[6-4-07 ECB] The Fluxgate Monitor is showing some low level fast choppiness with a hint of possible disturbances. This condition is likely to continue during the next 48 hours at least and may become much stronger at any moment. Expect greater disturbances in June for solar wind streams and sudden flare-ups of Sunspot Activity.

This chart of the last three Solar Cycles is profoundly important for many reasons. First, it demonstrates that scientists have learned in just the last 30 years that gross solar output is almost precisely parallel with the output of Sunspots. In other words, the Sunspot Cycle is actually the Solar Activity Cycle. Secondly the chart demonstrates that Sunspot numbers define the amount of actual irradiance (also called luminescence) which strikes the top of the Earth's atmosphere. This measure in turn is telling us how much "heat" energy is being delivered to the Earth. As we can see, the total energy has been declining in average since 1975. With less primary heat, there is also less "reflected" or "green-housed" heat. To make a long story short, this chart demonstrates that neither the Sun, nor all its cycles, nor all the Greenhouse Gases, nor all the inflated academic claims concerning them, have much to do with the obvious warming of the Earth. Ignorance is a wonderful thing. It frees the mind to seek the right answers. Go seek, find the real cause of Global Warming.

NIGHT SKY FOR JUNE 4, 2007: Click for full screen sky map IMAGE PRODUCED BY MICA, software & data from the JPL & U.S. Naval Observatory If you want to learn how to follow the stars at night and get deeper into the cosmic scene of the planetary alignments, how the solar system actually works, and so forth, start using this. It is centered for 5 AM Greenwich on June 5 or for 10 PM on June 4 for Arizona Mountain Time (no daylight savings) at 2000 meter elevation on approximately Black Mesa, Hopi Land. This projection is produced by U.S. Navy Observatory MICA software and Ephemeris (Ephemeris is maintained on line by JPL). It is more or less the world standard of algorithms for precisely tracking the cosmos and the software is such a snap to use to create powerful results, I cannot resist using it. With this you can stand on the bridge of a vessel at sea and navigate like they used to do (but no longer, its all satellite positioning now, but old habits die not at all in the navies of the world). Hopi Land was selected as the focal point because this provides the same approximate night sky to New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, and California (with a little time delay). Sorry, you folks in the Pacific Northwest will not be able to use this very well, you need your own projection, but then..hahahaha...you really can't really see the stars all that well anyway.
PLANET ALIGNMENTS: ALMANAC | BACKGROUND | EARTHMONITOR LINKS | LATEST [5-07-07 ECB] Welcome to Solar Minima, which is the point when one Sunspot Cycle ends and another begins during a month when very little sunspot activity will be recorded. We won't know the official "point" of the transition for many more months yet, perhaps not even until near the end of 2008, but frankly it sure feels like 2007 is the transition year.
SOLAR FORECAST: [5-21-07 ECB] June will have several episodes of modest planetary alignments. They begin with an Earth | Jupiter Alignment on June 1 which is closely coupled with an alignment between Mercury and Venus. The inner planets will remain closely coupled with each other and with Jupiter for a few weeks, not really completely breaking apart until July. All this should produce a responses in the Sun with several modest peaks of Sunspot activity and many waves of stormy summer weather flowing unto the continents, beginning the beginning of June and extending through to the middle of August, when planetary induced solar influences will disappear for a few weeks. Except for the June 1 double-header alignment, these peaks in activity should be mild compared to years past. If this were a Solar MAX period, Sunspot Counts could easily soar to past 400 during this alignment. But during this MIN phase, they are likely to remain under 50. The height of the hurricane season of 2007 may emerge about September 10 in connection with the alignment of Mercury | Jupiter on September 18. This season may extend through to the end of October while Mercury completes another series of fast moving alignments with the inner planets and two more of the outer planets. MORE OR LESS AS PREDICTED, February and March were extremely stormy months in North America and in many other parts of the Earth, this coming on top of an intensely cold January during which the Artic was freer of ice than it has been in at least several generations. Welcome to Global Warming Syndrome, which is produced by the warming of the Artic ocean, not the atmosphere. These alignment points for the planets doubtless will influence the Earth's weather patterns to some extent, but if the pattern of the past 90 days holds, this influence will be small compared to previous years. Keep in mind that over-all, weather patterns should be about the same as last year or reduced in strength a little if the only factor is the Sun. However, Global Warming is providing enough votive force to surpass the influence of the Sun. Sunspot and solar activity should peak generally 8 to 3 days in advance of these alignment dates but keep in mind that some times the solar peak comes in on the day or the day after the alignment.
June 1, 2007 DYNAMIC DUO PLANETARY
ALIGNMENTS These two inner planets, Mercury | Venus, are still producing the solar sparks of these past few days. This condition may persist for a few more days and then very soon will be followed by the alignment of Mercury with Jupiter and then Earth and then Mars. June will be busy with many ups and down.

June 15, 2007 Five And A Half PLANETARY ALIGNMENTS Mercury, still very close to Venus, now moves into a close threeway alignment with Jupiter and Earth. Mercury is about as close to the Earth as it can come obitally, pulled out into its Aphelion no doubt by the combination of Jupiter and Earth and Venus. Meanwhile Mars | Uranus. All this ought to produce a greater round of sparks than May's planetary alignments. Expect solar activity to begin to pick up by about June 7 and persist modestly with a few peaks in the 15-50 range through to nearly the end of June.

July 4, 2007 Venus | Jupiter PLANETARY ALIGNMENT This should bring in another modest rise in solar activity, no doubt more modest than the activity brought by Mercury's passage. This activity should be seen in a narrow peak during the last few days of June. This may give rise to greater energy for the marine air masses which flow onto the continents to feed summer fog banks and storm fronts. There may be enough stimulation in the storm fronts from this and June's Solar Activity to cast rain clouds over the July 4th Holiday in many areas.

HURRICANE SEASON SUNSPOT ALIGNMENTS: The next most interesting moment in the planetary alignments will come a month later near September 18 when Mercury moves into alignment with Jupiter. This pass of Mercury will be posted in a few weeks. Thus from about September 12, we may see the beginning of the height of the Hurricane Season and it may persist for a couple of months while Mercury passes by in alignments once again with all the inner planets along with Neptune and Uranus.
December 22 , 2007 Six Bodies In
A Straight There are significant alignments in September, October, and November but the charts have not been added yet. A spectacular "bunching" of the inner planets will be seen as "morning stars" during early November, Mercury, Mars, and Venus should all be viewable together at dawn in a very rare conjunction. I am guessing that this confabulation of the inner planets will mark the beginning of Solar Cycle 24. Most important for Solar Activity is the six-way alignment in December on the Solstice. This next chart is added because it far outclasses all else during 2007. On about December 18/19, five planets will align in a straight line with the Sun. Earth and Mars will align on the top of the chart, while Mercury, Jupiter, and Pluto align on the almost exact opposite side of the Sun. Off to one side, Venus will align with Saturn. On December 22, Earth's Moon will be Perigee at the peak of its North Node and on December 24, the Moon will be Full. Talk about a syzygy window!!!

Giant Plot For Easy Viewing Day By Day [6-4-07 ECB] We are now in a modest Syzygy Window for expansion quakes. The Full Moon is fading now already and the Moon's Extreme South Node is already beginning to move towards the Equator. One of the year's smallest Perigees is now approaching on June 11 and so this entire week is likely to be rather like an extended Syzygy, albeit a lackluster one for earthquakes. All in all, this is not the strongest influence of this year, but these radical swings in declination during this part of an an 18 year Saros Cycle likely are having some impact on plate motion. Most of 2007 features these radical swings, many years are far weaker. In general, I believe that the danger of major quakes in North America is actually receding at this time. Heightened danger zones will not return until the Fall.
