CRITICAL ALERTS [Earth Week Summary]

[April 7, 2008 ECB; MWM] "Current Week's Summary"

COSMIC FACTORS:   The Sunspot Count  The Sunspot Count fell to zero about four days ago after a week-long surge which peaked at 63 preceded a few days prior with a Flux of 89. On April 6 the Flux was still falling at 71 with no Sunspots. The Sun is somewhat spritzy, however, with a coronal hole sending an intensified solar wind and magnetic storms into the Earth's atmosphere. The Planetary A Magnetic Index (upper atmosphere field strength) rose a few days ago to 21 and then fell back to its low average below 5 yesterday. More stormy solar weather is possible at any time. Since the planetary alignments of Mercury , Venus, and Uranus are now still very strong, sudden activity on the Sun could emerge for another week or so. But after next week, April's solar activity should remain low until just after the beginning of May to great the planetary alignments on May 11. Some minor Solar wind turbulence (which produce magnetic storms in the Earth's atmosphere) is shown by Alaska's Fluxgate Monitor Graph but that is not going to last long.  The Earth is in a solar wind which is streaming out of two major coronal holes. The Magnetic "A" Index (Earth's upper Atmosphere magnetic field) rose to 21 but fell back to a very low level during the past 24 hours.   More stormy solar weather is possible at any time.  For the next 48 hours, NASA predicts a 1%  or less probability of major explosive or flare events on the Sun with a 5% to 40% probability of major magnetic disturbances in the Earth's atmosphere in the higher latitudes.  For more details on current sun go here.  See Planetary Alignments for longer range forecast.   For Daily Sun, go to Spaceweather.

The increase in the average monthly ISSN in March from 2.1 Sunspots to 9.3 was a pretty vigorous upsurge from the Solar MIN.  Appearances at the moment are consistent with a more energetic Sunspot MAX during Solar Cycle 24.  However, the next round of planetary alignments in May will not be as strong as the current one.  Accordingly, is likely that the next several weeks will see a less energetic Sun and conditions will coast moderately into June to produce a more much normal  late Spring.  Watch for June 6, when Mercury | Earth with Mars still closely aligned with Saturn.  This double header likely will spritz up considerable Solar Activity about the beginning of June and this activity may be on par or even more energetic than this most recent surge of 67 Sunspots.  Then, Mercury and Jupiter align about June 17 with Earth in near alignment with both.  The middle of June should easily exceed March in overall storminess and the weather may not "normalize" until July.  

ATMOSPHERICS:    As a result of the fast-forming planetary alignments and the current spike in Solar Activity for the April planetary alignments of Mercury | Venus | with Neptune and Uranus in the background,  expect a mild re-energizing of stormy weather on Earth during the next two weeks.  Above all continue to expect considerable uncertainty in all predictions from all sources.   La Nina is still slowly dissolving, ditto the North Atlantic Oscillation.  Weather during the remainder of March should be more and more normal temperate and stormy as is typical during this time of year.  Spring likewise during April should be more normal but, hold on to your hats, El Nino may form up during May or June, though very little advancement was made this past seven days.  This El Nino may be longer than normal and it may be stronger than average.  This speculation is based purely on the higher than ever tempo of earthquake and volcanic activity around the world during 2006 and 2007.  The increased heat flux from the East Pacific Rift will eventually make its way to the surface and produce the typical El Nino hot Equator

 GEOPHYSICAL FACTORS:    No new news on the Wobble this week as it continues to expand.   No major change from prior weeks, but there remains some apparent tendency to truncation of the spiral track on the Y Axis. Movement up and down the X Axis appears slightly easier for the Earth's crust than movement on the Y Axis.  The result is a track slightly more oblong than circular.  This pattern we have been observing since the wobble "freeze" of January 2005. See Polar Motion for additional information.  The Moon is now emerging from its New Moon phase and is approaching its Perigee (this one is very modest).  It will take up its Extreme Northern Declination on April 10/11.  Since the Lunar Cycles are "out of phase" with each other during the next couple of months, the Moon influence on quake activity is somewhat diminished. 

At the current time, earthquake activity Class 4+ is about average in frequency but below average in magnitude (last Class 6 quake was on March 29, way below average).  Since the weak syzygy is now passing, no increase in quake activity is likely but the Moon's position in its Extreme Northern Declination Node on about April 10/11/12 may inspire some activity.  See Lunar Schedule for more details.  For quakes go to Earthquakes. 

World volcanism has abated to some extent during the past few weeks. After the surge during February, the number of active volcanoes more or less plateaued and their eruptive activity subsided. A surge began after the Full Moon in March but this has settled down. New reports are not coming in and the Active List decreased by 1 to 30, the Restless List is at 2, and the Alert List remained static during the last few weeks at 76. Kilauea STILL remains incredibly productive of lava flowing into the ocean and sulfur dioxide emissions are a serious issue near the volcano. Etna, an important herald, is snoozing lightly while Popo and Colima, along with most of the regulars of last year on the Carib Plate, are just hanging in there. Erebus, Stromboli, Yasur, and Arenal continue their long ever-lasting eruptions. (These typically produce lava lakes, lava fountains, and strombolian explosions).   Though the volcanoes are snoozing currently, 2008 still looks to be an interesting year for volcanoes.

GEO-ECONOMIC FLUX - -  For the latest summary of the banking crisis and the long term context, as seen by Mike Whitney, go to the Geoeconomic Update to catch his latest brilliant article. Essentially, after a lot of huffing and puffing, Whitney (a profoundly informed eco-political guru) argues that the U.S. Banks have failed, the financial sector is bankrupt, and an elaborate game of charades is now being played to pretrend that the elite can simply ignore the obvious waiting for Godot to revive the economy or for Darth Cheney to rain Star Troopers on Iran to divert attention from  the growing legions showing up to live in Tent Cities.  More will be added to the ignoble list of Bear Stearn. As previously stated, the next eight years will accelerate change at all levels, not least with escalating conflict and struggle between and within the power elites. The old games, the old consensus, the old economics are dying and cannot be made to work again.  The Cabal has made the critical move, long predicted by a long list of  Bears, to rescue the sinking ship with precisely the same strategy which sank the system in 1929.  Rather than risk implosion of the "bubbles" of privilege which have inflated uncontrollably during the past 25 years, the Bankster Cabal has moved to inflate the dollar rapidly with abandon.  Prime interest rates are now well below inflation rates, which few of the PTB will admit, and the rates are expected widely to be lowered again by large amounts. This will hasten the decline of the dollar against most other currencies and send inflation soaring for all commodities, most especially for oil and gas. A growing convergence of opinion is crystallizing around September/October as an extreme peak moment for the meltdown of the imperial (globalist) economy.  But this Bear position does not reckon with the obvious and inevitable counter-move which is sure to come in the Fall (AS IT ALWAYS DOES IN A MAJOR ELECTION YEAR):  a major lowering of energy costs to create the illusion of a crisis which is "passing".  As previously advised, ABOVE ALL REMEMBER ROOSEVELT'S ADVICE:  THE MAIN THING WE HAVE TO FEAR IS FEAR ITSELF.  As previously advised,  don't expect 12,000 on the DJI to hold well.  THE PANIC is ever greater and in full force and a substantial sag yet will be seen during the following days and weeks in the U.S.  The rest you already know the essence. It will be a miracle if they can hold the line at 10,000, some extreme Bears are predicting something in the range of 6000.  Cayce gave the formula for predicting what is happening some 70 years ago and once again is RIGHT ON THE MONEY. Start focusing on the real opportunities which are coming.  SOLARIZE AMERICA is the industrial redevelopment scheme for the next 30 years and it will drive a great wave of prosperity once the War On Terror Scam and the dying hands of the Globalist Cabal are removed from the backs of the North American peoples.  For additional details go to Geo-Political - Economics.  

GEOPOLITICAL FLUX - -  AS PREDICTED PREVIOUSLY - WAR RISK IS HIGH AND RISING.  The assessment below stands. KEEP PARAMOUNT IN MIND THAT THE FAILURE OF THE COWARDLY LIONS, AKA THE OIL-SOAKED DEMOCRATS, TO CONFRONT DARTH CHENEY AND REQUIRE AN END TO THE BRUTAL U.S. OPPRESSION IN IRAQ WILL BE, I REPEAT, WILL BE CITED IN THE ANNALS OF HISTORY AS ONE OF THE PRIMARY FACTORS WHICH EMBOLDENED THE CHENEY/CIA/MOSSAD CLIQUES TO PRECIPITATE ANOTHER ROUND OF MILITARY ADVENTURISM AND WAR CRIMES IN THE MIDDLE EAST. It is fully the equivalent of Chamberlain's craven cave-in to Hitler, from which World War II began.   The likely nomination of Obama may be the primary factor which is pushing the Imperial Faction into increasing the destablization of the Middle East at this time - they are going to "do" what they can while the "doing" is good.  The only thing we do not know at this time is the principle target, the actual strategy plan. Don't expect that anybody on the outside has "guessed" what they intend to do.  Supplement the standing assessment below with the latest assessment from:

Paul Craig Roberts: "Petraeus Testimoney Will Signal Attack On Iran"

STANDING ASSESSMENT:  Strategic plans and manipulations are obviously underway to push the envelope on existing conditions. The recent trips by Cheney and Bush-McCain to the Middle East, along with military redeployments, suggest strongly that the Imperial Faction is arranging the stage of history for the next act. The risk of another major False Flag Terrorism incident may be building rapidly.  Some project as early as May 2008, some are more inclined to posit the early Fall, in time to sway the U.S. elections for the "Return of the Gipper" John McCain.  The recent sacking of Admiral Fallon as Supreme U.S. Commander In the Middle East, who is widely known for his belief that increased military activity is not appropriate for U.S. national interests, is the most obvious tip-off.  Many scenarios are possible, but a contrived false flag operation against Israel may be the preferred operation.  Such an operation is far less likely to be scrutinized by hostile eyes because it will be too far removed.  Israel could then rationalize a national war response, recycling all the Bush rhetorical garbage, engage in strikes against its next target (likely the brutalization of Syria), and thus force the hands of all parties into a series of responses which escalate into U.S. and Iranian intervention and mutual war.  THUS THERE IS  A RISK OF FALSE-FLAG TERRORIST OPERATIONS INSTIGATED BY RIGHT-WING THUG ELEMENTS IN THE CIA, MOSSAD, MK5, AND ALLIED MOBS WORKING AS AGENTS FOR AN INTERNATIONAL CABAL composed of Anglo-American-Jewish elements through to Spring, possibly October 2008.

SPIRITUAL FLUX  - -  As previously reported, the power of the Blue Star Kachina continues to grow as a major ingress of higher plane energy expands for those seeking it.  Look for a small blue diamond in the inner most recesses of your mind's eye.  Reach deeply inside your experience of the now.  Seek for the "feeling" of an energy or vibration within your head.  REMEMBER REMEMBER REMEMBER.  Awaken to the higher energy.  Now is truly the time to build an internal link to consciousness of this energy.  As this link strengthens, the internal power of lucid peace will grow, hopefully strongly enough to surmount the highly charged emotional astral chaos of the next Solar MAX, which most likely will be the most chaotic period of human existence in several decades, quite possibly for several centuries.

The Changes In The Earth - Global Summary

A RECENT CHART DEFINES "THE CHANGE IN THE EARTH". Click to see the threefold trend in world quake activity 4+ for 1973-2007. This increase in seismic energy is signaling all the other Changes In The Earth, including Global Warming.  Daily average frequency of 4+ quakes has risen from 11 in 1973 to about 35 in 2007.  The average rose dramatically during 2005/06 and is currently lower.  The daily average for 2007 will probably rise a little by the end of the year and may rise more slowly during the next few years.  Statistics are tricky master illusionists so be careful with this following thought:  an exponential growth curve can be drawn through earthquake data 4+ to project another DOUBLING of the current frequency by about 2020.
