Mandeville, a scientist and author who recently
completed the "Return of the Phoenix", asserts that the charts prove that the
slight wobbling of the Earth as it rotates around the Sun, in combination with the lifting
and pulling forces of the Sun and the Moon, causes most major tectonic change, especially
earthquakes and volcanism.
The 22 charts depict the connections in timing between
the rhythmic rocking motion of the Earth in 14 month and seven year cycles and the
outbreak of high peaks of seismic activity in Japan and Southern California, as well as
with volcanic activity around the world. Mandeville’s correlations provide a
breakthrough in understanding how the likely "windows" of dangerous earthquake
and volcanic activity can be predicted.
Based on the historical patterns which he discovered,
Mandeville offers the following advisory warnings about dangerous earthquake
"windows" for Japan and Southern California:
"More probable than not, strong bursts of
earthquake activity will commence in Southern California and Japan sometime from the
middle of October 2000 through to about the middle of December 2000, with another danger
zone from about the beginning of February through to the end of February 2001. A
destructive 6.0+ class near-surface earthquake somewhere in both Southern California and
Japan is highly likely at any time in these periods and the greatest danger times may be
within a few days of November 5, 2000 and February 15, 2001. The burst of activity should
persist for about 10 to 14 days and the killer class quakes are likely to happen very
close to the beginning of the burst of activity.
After the November round, things will seem to return to
normal and the last two weeks in December and the first two in January may see a calm
period as the direction of the Earth’s crust begins to turn back towards the South
(in the Pacific) in its vast spiraling motion. Then from about the beginning of February
to the end of February 2001, another time of exceptionally high earthquake activity is
likely to occur.
A more specific prediction during this period can be
made by applying the concept of "syzygy windows" developed by James Berkeland, a
California geologist who makes predictions through a newsletter and on the Internet. Using
Berkeland’s correlations with the distance and alignment of the Moon (Perigee and New
Moon moments), the next few Perigee and New Moon
moments are:
Oct 24-30 (NM)
Oct 16-22 (P)
Nov 11-17 (P)
Nov 22-28 (NM)
Feb 4-10 (P)
Feb 20-26 (NM)
Of all these dates and windows, October 26, November
14, and November 25 seem to be the most dangerous for both California and Japan.
Additionally, the Earth will be at perihelion (its closest approach to the Sun on Jan 6
very close to a lunar perigee. These heightened influences of the Sun and the Moon more
likely than not are triggers for a major spike of earthquake activity."
Special Note For Japan: The recent
high levels of earthquake activity since August are highly anomalous and do not fit
historical patterns. In fact, it is clear that seismic activity is still rising in the
trend charts after thirty years of progressive upward movement. The end of the trend
cannot be predicted. The coming period of peak seismic activity may be exceptionally
dangerous for Japan.
Reservation: This prediction is
developed from correlations related to the motions of the crust of the Earth as it wobbles
around the spin axis. Since approximately December 1998, the wobble of the Earth has been
anomalous and the anomalous motion has not returned yet to normal. It is possible that it
will not return in its spiral swing to the locations which are necessary to induce the
predicted round of earthquakes in Japan and Southern California.
