CRITICAL ALERTS [Earth Week Summary]

[May 5, 2008 ECB; MWM] "Current Week's Summary"

This week:  A lot of new ground covered in the geological/geophysics area, nothing new was added or changed in the political/economic sphere.  Because of the power of the human affairs articles I have sent in those departments, you have a pretty good bead on what's up. I have several more to send.

Ruth Ryden:  Go here if you want her latest newsletter (psychic readings). http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ruth_ryden_newsletter/
I will no longer send the actual content.

 At Sunset, catch a view of Mercury.  It is a tiny but bright point of light in the western sky at sunset.  Its alignments with other planets generally produce the most notable eruptions from the Sun.   NASA claims:  "the innermost planet is  putting on its best show of 2008".  Here is a spectacular pix from Tenerife. May 6 will be the most romantic view - the New Moon crescent will appear with Mercury.  The Pleaides, too, hmmm.  Maybe its time for ET to make a call.

COSMIC FACTORS:  

The Sunspot Count  rose to12 on May 4 and is likely still rising today (late note, it did).  The Flux was 68 on May 4, rising from 67 the day before, which is about as low as it ever gets.  Prominences are now being seen and a hole in the Sun's atmosphere is sending a weak solar wind stream towards the earth.  The Planetary A Magnetic Index (upper atmosphere field strength) is stable at about 10. Any disturbances are likely to be at at relatively low levels.  The planetary alignments of Mercury  and the other planets are generally drawing together again and solar activity is most likely now rising  to greet the planetary alignments on May 11.  See Planetary Alignments for longer range forecast. 

Alaska's Fluxgate Monitor Graph  shows  not much because of the low ebb in solar activity but this is not likely to continue.   Some atmospheric disturbances are likely in the coming few days.  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 30% probability of major magnetic disturbances in the Earth's atmosphere in the higher latitudes.  For more details on current sun go here.   For Daily Sun, go to Spaceweather.

This next round of planetary alignments in May involving Saturn, Mars, and Mercury on May 11 probably will not produce as much Sunspot Activity as during March (approx. March 25).   Accordingly, it is likely that the next several weeks will see mild Sun and conditions will coast moderately into June to produce a more much normal  late Spring.  But 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 the March surge of 67 Sunspots.  Watch again for Mercury and Jupiter to 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. See Planetary Alignments for longer range forecast.  

ATMOSPHERICS:    All weather patterns are normalizing and are presently little influenced by Solar Activity.  La Nina has dissolved as did the North Atlantic Oscillation.  The North Pacific Gyre Hot Spot has also fallen apart.  Movement towards El Nino appears to have collapsed, making this cycle advent impossible to predict at the moment but the seven year wobble cycle suggests that it should appear this year.   This sounds like it might be good news but it augers for a strong surge in the hurricane season during July.  In this respect the horribly huge and violent cyclone in the Indian Ocean does not auger well.  Given this surge, with the deadly tornadoes, it is likely that this "Global Warming" year will produce Atlantic 'Canes that become dangerous again.  Cooler than normal water persists along most of the western coast of North America and it is producing significant wind activity flowing toward the oceans through Arizona - very unusual.  Weather during May and June most likely will be more energetic, more chaotic and less easy to predict.  Major storms with some extreme patterns are likely during mid-May and the extreme tornadoes in the mid-west (which are probably induced by Global Warming) may be a herald of what is roaring down the pike as a result of the coming Mercury alignments.  Hurricane and tornado season is now predicted to be substantially greater than last year but that will not require much, given the collapse of Atlantic Hurricane phenomenon during 2007.  Most likely Atlantic hurricane seasons will not become record-makers again until 2010, but as we just saw in Myanmar, another nasty punch or two this year is entirely possible.  In general, NOAA believes this year is going to be hoter and drier than normal for much of North America, though cooler and wetter along the Northwestern coast for the next couple of months, along with cooler than normal temperatures in the Midwest.

 GEOPHYSICAL FACTORS:    No new news on the Wobble this week as it continues to expand.   No major change from prior weeks.   See Polar Motion for additional information.  The Moon's cycles are now moving into closer synchronicity for May and June. Accordingly, lunar influence on the tectonic plates should now begin to increase quake and volcanic activity and produce larger spikes in frequency and magnitude, beginning approximately next week.  The Moon is  New and is in Perigee.  It will approach its Extreme Northern Declination on May 7/8 Expect then a stronger surge in tectonic motion during the next few days. There will be a weak synchronization in May and June of 2008, then strong dis-synchronization until November 2008. November will begin a new round of synchronized Lunar cycles, with December producing the strongest synchronization of the year in a near perfect alignment with the Earth's Perihelion, during both the New Moon (Dec. 27/28) and Full Moon (Dec. 13). These then are likely months of the greatest quake events and for the most part 2008 is likely to be a "middling year" for seismic activity, perhaps even slightly diminished from 2006/2007 levels. See Lunar Schedule for more details.  For quakes go to Earthquakes. 

Earthquake activity Class 4+ at the current time is running a little below average in frequency and magnitude.  This may change at any moment because of the New Moon Perigee we are now in and the rapid movement of the Moon to its extreme northern declination which will be at about 27 degrees on May 7/8.  If North America is due for a real popper, the time frame is between then and now.

ONCE AGAIN, VERY INTERESTING PATTERNS ARE SHOWN IN THE IRIS SEISMIC MONITOR CHARTS.    THIS WEEK'S CHART DEMONSTRATES SHAPE-SHIFTING VECTORS AND WAVES AT WORK IN THE EARTH'S CRUST WHICH ALLOW US TO CONNECT A LOT OF TECTONIC DOTS.   DON'T MISS IT. 

World volcanism is still on an upward surge. The numbers on the list have not increased, currently the Active List is at 33, the Restless List is at 4, and the Alert List is at 77. BUT, most reports have been updated as of May 1 and many large ash plumes and some lava flows are being reported, plus a major new eruption commenced at Chaiten in southern Chile.   Kilauea STILL remains incredibly productive of lava flowing into the ocean and both ash and sulfur dioxide emissions are a serious issue near the volcano. Etna, an important herald, is cooking more slowly this week, as are Popo and Colima. But most of the Carib Plate regulars are still smoking as are Japanese, South American, and Kamchatka volcaones.   Erebus, Stromboli, Yasur, and Arenal continue their long ever-lasting eruptions.  (These typically produce lava lakes, lava fountains, and strombolian explosions). b Click here for more details on this Volcano Season.   This year's peak volcano activity is likely to form up in May and June and once again in December 08, in synchronicity with the lunar cycles.  January's Volcano prediction looks pretty good:  "In accordance with past wobble cycles and the general average trend of increase in volcanic activity, I expect that volcanic activity during 2008 will be about the same as 2007 or abate by a small percentage."

GEO-ECONOMIC FLUX - -  INFLATION IS SOARING....AS PREDICTED HERE SINCE 2004.  STAND PAT ON LAST WEEK'S REMARKS

Have no doubts it will continue to soar as will the level of world rioting. Congratulations your leaders have kindly stepped up to the table of international settlements and you are now paying for the Tragedy in Iraq (and Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Travesty in Washington DC and New York).  Vat good Germans you are. The silver lining in all this?  Iraq is bankrupting the Empire.  Oops.  All falls down.  In four to eight years the Imperial Faction will be permanently out of power in North America, sixty years of rotten politics and stinking lies will finally be lifted from the souls of the Americans.  But in the meanwhile, make sure your family is ready to ride out two to six years of hard economic times.  The slide from this point will keep on going in a downward direction.  For additional details go to Geo-Political - Economics.  

GEOPOLITICAL FLUX - -   Because of the cowardice of the American people and their political institutions, THE WAR RISK IS RISING EVERY WEEK.  PREPARATIONS TO SET THE STAGE KEEP ADVANCING AND THE AGIT-PROP CAMPAIGN TO BRAINWASH THE SHEEPLE HAS CLEARLY COMMENCED.

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 Testimony 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.

 HOUSEKEEPING ANNOUNCEMENT:  

Domain names have been added to michaelmandeville.com.   The structure and links of the EC Bulletin and everything under the Earthchanges now operate under www.EarthChanges-Bulletin.com.  MichaelMandeville.com, as personal website, and MetaSynMedia.com as a commercial website, now also operate side by side.  By refocusing all the material into different focal areas and linkages structures, everything is becoming better organized and easier for both the reader and the author to use.  Most of the progress so far is in the michaelmandeville and metasynmedia web domains.  Phoenix Quest is hopefully next.  

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.
