Earth Changes Bulletin Update As Of June 23 2004

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.

FLUX OF CHANGE CONTINUES TO OVERWHELM THE WORLD AS SOLAR IONIC ACTIVITY CONTINUES TO SEND WAVE AFTER WAVE OF ENERGY INTO THE EMOTIONS OF HUMANKIND.

 

On the geophysical front, for the moment the solar vortex forces in the Cosmos are bobbing up and down, peaking sunspots as high as 142 in the last week, with another peak due in a few days. Though weather forces are now lulling, weather dynamics will increase during the next week and will become quite stormy before the end of the month. On the Earth itself, shape shifting is muting out and the New Moon Syzygy at Apogee was indeed weak, as predicted, while volcanic activity remained on the same plateau of the past few weeks.. 

 
On the geopolitical front, the strange year continues to accelerate its strangeness.  It is now unfolding at such a rapid rate into deepening strangeness that the transformation of American politics into a parody of its worst nightmares has become a virtual blur of swirling events.  The stalemate of all factors broadens and the American government is collapsing into paralysis even as conditions in Iraq continue to worsen while an already widely despised “puppet regime” is installed in Iraq by forces of the CIA.  In all directions, from all sources, horrible rumors abound and there is nothing on the horizon which favors the Americans.

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.

Begin Synopsis

 

 As stated in the “Coming Economic Collapse of 2006”, the nature of human politics reflects the communication abilities of the human species.  As we transform the media, as we have been on the Iway, we will transform human politics and the entire Earth.  Making the way for the New Earth is operationally equivalent to making a new Media on the Iway. Not that that is all that there is to it.  Not by a long shot…but IT IS one of the essentials we need to dissolve the blockages and dance around the tyrannies.

 

 

SPIRITUAL WATCH

How to converge and express the spirit of mass transformation into manifestation, HOW to be, IS the question. How to do is the praxis of the time.  Examining this question, probing it, is the chief trendline of this year. 

 

The “Great Purification” predicted by the Hopi, Maya, Q’ero, and many others continues.  How amazing that these ancient oral traditions could tune into 2003 and June of 2004 to advise us that this was a period of profound historical turning involving The Great Purification? For additional discussion, see the commentary of May 19, 2004 and the commentary of June 16, 2004.

 

ALL IS IN TRANSISTION.  EVERYTHING WILL WORK OUT DIFFERENTLY THAN PEOPLE ARE CURRENTLY FEARING OR PROJECTING.  FORGET ABOUT THE FEARS AND THE TIRED OLD ASPIRATIONS AND PLANS WHICH ARE FALLING APART.  FLOW WITH THE TIDE AS YOU LET GO OF OLD PATTERNS.  WORK DILIGENTLY AROUND ALL DISRUPTIONS AND BLOCKAGES TO BRING USEFUL CONCLUSIONS.

 

IF THE MATTER IN FRONT OF YOU IS CONFUSING, DROP IT, FALL BACK, AS FAR BACK AS YOU NEED TO “REFRAME” YOUR ISSUES.

 

THE CORRECT RESOLUTION FOR YOU SHOULD BE CLEAR.  PERFECTLY CLEAR.  YOUR CHOICE SHOULD DISSIPATE CONFUSION, NOT ENJOIN YOU IN GREATER DOUBTS AND CONCERNS AND ANXIETY.

 

SO GET EASY…….AND ALLOW THE CLARITY OF THE BEST RESOLUTIONS OF YOUR ISSUES TO COME TO THE FORE AND TAKE OVER.

 

THE NEW BASIS IS GESTATING….THE time to link the spiritual communities of the Earth. The Whole Earth. IT HAS BECOME URGENT TO LINK THE SPIRITUAL COMMUNITIES WITHIN A BROAD MOVEMENT WHICH PROVIDES NEW CURRENTS OF SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP.

 

 

 

 

POLAR MOTION

What is happening to the motion of the Earth. For the overall summary of the status of polar motion CLICK HERE.  To see the current graphs of polar motion, CLICK HERE. 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.

 

After a strangely deviant "jog" in the Y dimension, Polar Motion on the X Wave is once again more or less appearing normal.

 

AS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED:  Steady as she goes. A slow acceleration in the shifting of the poles has been underway for perhaps the past 100 years and the last three decades has shown an increase in the rate of acceleration.  This has appeared to accelerate even more during the past decade.

 

 

 

 

MAGNETIC POLES – SHIFTING

What is happening to the magnetic fields of the Earth.

 

No real change during the past year:  a magnetic pole shift is not something to be very concerned about within this decade at least.

 

 

 

Asteroids

As of June 04,

NASA’S

ESTIMATE:

“Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs) are space rocks larger than approximately 100m that can come closer to Earth than 0.05 AU. None of the known PHAs  (asteroids) are on a collision course with our planet, although astronomers are finding new ones all the time.”

 

 

PLANETS & ALIGNMENTS
(all time coordinates here and elsewhere are in UTC unless otherwise noted)

For background and the current information on planetary alignments go to the Earth Changes Almanac Calendar.  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.   The Almanac IS OUT OF DATE  AS OF THIS MOMENT.  It will be updated in the following weeks.

 

We have apparently decoupled already from the Venus | Earth alignment.  In any event, the Sun has already begun to respond to other planetary relationships and alignments.

 

I mis-spoke last week when I said there were  no other significant planetary alignments during June.  Actually there in one, a Mercury | Mars alignment on June 27, which my chart eyeballing had misconstrued as an early July alignment.

 

This will be followed by a Mercury | Jupiter alignment on July 4.

 

Already we have had a huge jump in the sunspot count two days ago for the Mars connection.  Another spike is likely due for the Jupiter connection

 

The Moon this day is now North of the Equator (its North Node) 5 days past the last New Moon.  It is now approximately 389,166 KM from the Earth. It is 30% of the Full Moon (visibility).  The next Full Moon will be July 2 at 11:09 UTC and the next New Moon is July 17 2004 at 11:25 UTC.

 

(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).   (Berkland has a more complex formula for syzygy and his dates are often different.)  For details see the Syzygy website.

 

 

 

 

PLANET WATCHING  

For background and the current information on observable planets.

 

NASA REPORTS:  “METEOR UPDATE: During the early hours of June 23rd, Earth encountered some dusty debris from Comet Pons-Winnecke. This caused a modest meteor shower, the June Bootids. Observers in Canada and California report seeing six to ten slow-moving meteors per hour between 0230 UT and 1100 UT.”

 

 

 

 

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. CLICK HERE for background information.  

To follow the numbers below, click here to view the Solar Cycle 23 Chart. Or, get the data in a NOAA Table.

 

 

SUNSPOT COUNT AT 117 as of June 22, 2004 AND FALLING FROM A SPIKE OF 142 ON JUNE 20.

 

After dropping to a count of  28 on June 12, the number of sunspots bobbed up and down on a ten day uptrend which spiked the number at 142 on Sunday.  They are currently falling steeply but probably not for long.

 

This peak no doubt is for the Mercury | Mars alignment on June 27, which is forming up roughly about 120 orbital degrees behind the rotating Earth.

 

Solar Flux is at 111 and horizontal trending.  This augers another rise. No doubt another peak in both the Index and the sunspot count will be forming up very quickly for the Mercury | Jupiter alignment on July 4.

 

This leaves one major mystery for June 2004.  The Earth | Venus alignment seemingly never did produce an independent sunspot count worthy of the “pull” of these two inner planets.  It would be very interesting to see the past 50 years of their alignments correlated with sunspot counts.  Some very interesting things might be learned.

 

Mercury, of course, demonstrates once again that it is the main “bias” mover in the electromagnetic gradient of the solar system.

 

 

 

 

SOLAR ACTIVITY

As reported by NASA/NOAA unless otherwise stated.  (Sudden surprises and huge storms are always possible even during sunspot minima periods such as the one we are currently headed into).

 

Despite the sudden new rise in the sunspot count for Mercury’s passage betwixt the Sun and Mars, solar activity is relatively calm.

 

As of today, the Solar Wind was lazy at 316.8 km/s this day while pushing a mild density of 1.5  protons/cm3”. 

 

The Fluxgate Chart at the University of Alaska (which measures magnetic disturbances in the Earth’s atmosphere created by solar winds and ion storms) was FLAT LINE (as of this time, about 2 PM Mountain time US). To see the Fluxgate moment to moment, CLICK HERE.

 

NASA PREDICTS:  A solar wind stream from…[a]…coronal hole could reach Earth on or about June 29th”. During the next 24/48 hours, probability for an M-class solar flare is at 50% and for an X-class solar flare is at 5, with a 1% to 20% probability for minor to severe geomagnetic disturbances during the next 24/48 hours, depending upon latitude. 

 

Jan Alvestad reports: “The geomagnetic field was quiet on June 22. Solar wind speed ranged between 310 and 348 km/sec.  Solar flux measured at 20h UTC on 2.8 GHz was 116.7…At midnight there were 4 spotted regions on the visible disk. The solar flare activity level was low. A total of 1 C class event was recorded during the day… There is still a chance of an M class flare… June 20-22: No LASCO images available after early on June 20. Other image sources do not indicate any significant activity during the interval.”

 

Jan Alvestad predicts: “A recurrent trans equatorial coronal hole (CH103) will rotate into a geoeffective position on June 26-27…The geomagnetic field is expected to be mostly quiet on June 22-24.“  Alvestad also predicts for the next 24 hours, 0% probability of coronal holes, 0% probability of CME's, 20-60% probability of M and X Class Flares

 

MONTHLY AVERAGES IN SOLAR CYCLE 23: (These numbers are reported by Jan Alvestad) Over all, the sunspot average count (ISSN) for February 2004 was 46.0. March 2004  was even higher with the ISSN average count at 48.9  April’s count was radically lower at 39.3.  The May 2004 average count of 41.5 was SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN in April.  This was about 9% higher than predicted. 

 

Solar Cycle 23 activity is STILL headed back up.  THE MONTHLY AVERAGE FOR JUNE COULD EXCEED May’s numbers.

 

 

 

 

WORLD WEATHER SUMMARY

Those who have been following the patterns have seen that the correlations between sunspot peaks and major storm fronts coming in off the oceans to track across the continents is roughly pretty good, sometimes very much exactly on the mark.  Accordingly, our “sloppycasts” (approximate continental weather patterns) this past few years have proven out to be fairly worthwhile.

 

The weather has been muting out during the past few days over wide areas of the Earth, chaotically coming down from extreme patterns and heavy storms which left a lot of flooding, deaths, and destruction.

 

This respite will be brief.

 

EARTH WEATHER PREDICTION FOR THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS

(Northern Hemisphere) This “sloppycast” is based on sunspot counts, planetary alignments, and visual data shown on satellite and radar.

 

Conditions remain unstable and unpredictable.  Plan for practically anything.  All weather patterns are receiving new energy, another round of major storm fronts will pour in wet warm marine air from the continental coasts. Rising in elevation and latitudes, the desert zones will remain mostly dry but the higher mountain ranges and mid continental zones will receive much in the way of tornadoes, thunderstorms, and spot flooding.  Rocky Mountains, Great Plains, and Great Lakes zones, watch out.  Summer flash storms are on the way.

 

EARTH WEATHER PREDICTION FOR SUMMER SEASON

(Northern Hemisphere) This “sloppycast” is based on sunspot counts, planetary alignments, and visual data shown on satellite and radar.

 

Another storm front will pour into the continental interiors during the first week of July.  July 4 may be mostly clear but the storms will soon follow.  Expect the monsoon months of July and August to be as unpredictable as the sunspot spikes have been during the past two months.

 

SOUTHWEST CONDITIONS

This “sloppycast” is based on six years of living in the USA Pacific Southwest, the sunspot counts, planetary alignments, and visual data shown on satellite and radar.

 

Getting really hot, alternating with wind!!!. 

 

In between the major storm fronts, between sunspot spikes, as the atmosphere as a unit is contracting or expanding, it will tend to provide moments of the traditional monsoon, bringing relief for agriculture.  The higher elevations (plus 5000 feet) will fare MUCH better than the lower elevations.

 

 

 

 

EL NINO & LA NINA WATCH
The watch is now open again; Pacific water activity appears mostly normal, we are between the extremes of the ENSO; but all Auguries point to next year for the next onset.

 

NEW THIS WEEK:  As of the charts of mid June, no Nino or Nina is indicated as of the moment and conditions seem to be verging away from either condition.

 

ADDITIONAL NOTE:  The year 2004 and/or 2005, in accordance with the 100 year X Wave Graph of the motion of the spin axis in Chandler’s Wobble, COULD BE EL NINO YEARS.   Graphs of various El Nino periods seem to show that the beginning of temperature build-up can occur as late as April of an El Nino year.  So 2005 may not be callable until early Spring 2005.

 

 

 

 

 

GLOBAL WARMING

It is becoming obvious that we have a long term real shift in the average temperatures and climate regions related to the latitudes.  This climate shift is creating a growing environmental disaster in the polar zones and in the desert-prone latitudes such as in the Pacific Southwest. For the latest short review, see Earth Changes Bulletin Update As Of May 26, 2004

 

KEEP WATCHING ESPECIALLY THE ARCTIC AND ANTARCTIC. Those areas are the most objective front line observatories of the climate shift.

 

Certain arid zones, especially the American Southwest and Northeastern Africa, are especially sensitive to any slight shifts in climate patterns.  Everything in the arid zones is living on the razor-edge balance of the amount of annual rainfall. A little less than average has a major impact on the flora and fauna.  Likewise, a little more rain than normal also has a major impact in expanding the growth of all things. This balance is very greatly influenced by Sunspot counts, El Nino, and La Nina conditions.   So look for news in these arid zones about the severity and depth of the climate change.

 

In the Southwest, from Southern California to New Mexico, it has become apparent from the death of millions of trees over 500 years in age that this current drought is the worst since the Spanish pirates arrived in North America.  We have been remarking about this since 2001 when I wrote the “Oak Tree Memorandum” (which outlined some of the damage).  Here is a recent AP story on conditions.

 

West's drought may be worst in 500 years

Colorado River basin could see effects harsher than those of Dust Bowl

Associated Press

Originally published June 20, 2004

 

LAS VEGAS - The drought gripping the West could be the biggest in 500 years, with effects in the Colorado River basin considerably worse than during the Dust Bowl years, scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey said Thursday.

 

"That we can now say with confidence," said Robert Webb, lead author of the new fact sheet. "Now I'm completely convinced."

 

The Colorado River has been in a drought all of this decade, cutting an important source of water for millions of people across the West, including Southern California.

 

Environmental groups said the report reinforces the need to figure out a better way to manage the Colorado River before reservoirs run dry.

 

"The water managers, they just continue to pray for rain," said Owen Lammers, director of Living Rivers and Colorado Riverkeeper. "They just say, well, we hope that things change and we see rain."

 

The report said the drought has produced the lowest flow in the Colorado River on record, with an adjusted annual average flow of 5.4 million acre-feet at Lees Ferry, Ariz., during the period 2001-2003. By comparison, during the Dust Bowl years, between 1930 and 1937, the annual flow averaged about 10.2 million acre-feet, the report said.

 

Scientists use tree-ring reconstructions of Colorado River flows to estimate what conditions were like before record-keeping began in 1895. Using that method, the lowest five-year average of water flow was 8.84 million acre-feet in the years 1590-1594. From 1999 through last year, water flow has been 7.11 million acre-feet.

 

"These comparisons suggest that the current drought may be comparable to or more severe than the largest-known drought in 500 years," the report said.

 

The report said the river had its highest flow of the 20th century from 1905 to 1922, the years used to estimate how much water Western states would receive under the Colorado River Compact.

 

The 1922 compact should now be reconsidered because of the uncertain water flow, said Steve Smith, a regional director for the Wilderness Society.

 

The report did not surprise water managers.

 

Adan Ortega, spokesman for the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, said the water district has been increasing water storage, buying water from farmers and investing in alternatives to the Colorado River.

 

"The big lesson is communities cannot afford to put all their eggs in the proverbial basket. You need ... a diverse portfolio of resources," Ortega said.

 

Herb Guenther, director of the Arizona Department of Water Resources, said the agency continues to plan for a lingering drought.

 

"It's serious, but the sky is not falling. Of course, we wish it would in the form of rain," he said.

 

Droughts seldom persist for longer than a decade, the report noted. But that could mean the current drought is only half over.

 

"If you're a betting person, you will bet that we will come out of this drought next year," Webb said. "It's a very severe event and these things tend to end fast. There are other indications, though, that suggest that this drought could persist for as long as 30 years."

 

The Colorado River has been in a drought all of this decade, cutting an important source of water for millions of people across the West, including Southern California.

 

Environmental groups said the report reinforces the need to figure out a better way to manage the Colorado River before reservoirs run dry.

 

MWM COMMENTS:

 

 These guys are telling us they have no idea how long this drought will persist or why. Despite the genteel discussion in this article, there is more and more talk of a major political water war emerging among the Western states.  Many organizations are taking up positioning to grab agenda power and rate structures.  In Arizona, the Sonoran Plain real estate developers (Phoenix and Scottsdale, etc) are striving mightily to grab up aquifer resources in Northern Arizona, which barely has enough water to supply its own needs.  This will be an interesting fight, one I predict the crazy stupid  white men will lose.  To grab the Northern water, they will have to fight the Hopi, Zuni, Navajo, and Apache. The Navajo Nation alone has more economic and political power than some States of the U.S. – and they have both money and lawyers these days to fight the usurpations and treaty violations of the crazy stupid  white men. They want to keep the aquifers ample for their needs, which includes the extensive expansion of agricultural and pastoral activities.  Watering the golf courses of Scottsdale Real Estate Developers is definitely not on their agenda.

 

As per the article below, I used to believe that the drought problem was primarily caused by Solar Cycle 23.  That is clearly too naïve.  It is now quite clear that we have a magnitude 500 year plus event in climate variation, trending strongly to higher global temperatures.

 

Western Governors To Meet On Debilitating Drought

 

Patrick O'Driscoll

USA Today

Jun. 21, 2004 12:00 AM

 

DENVER - Drought conditions in parts of the West are the worst in 500 years, and Western governors will meet today with federal climate officials to assess conditions and discuss what steps can be taken to prepare for what could be a dire summer in terms of crops, wildfires and drinking water.

 

As summer begins, the governors - from 18 states from Kansas to Hawaii and Arizona to Alaska - are meeting in Santa Fe for the annual meeting of the Western Governors Association. Their meeting comes as:

 

• The drought in the Colorado River Basin, which is the main water supply for seven states and the big metropolitan areas of Los Angeles, Phoenix and Las Vegas, is probably as bad or worse than the basin's biggest drought in 1590-94. The U.S. Geological Survey, which studied rings on trees among other things, says that the flow of the Colorado River the past two years was barely half that of the Dust Bowl in the 1930s.

 

• The nation ended its third-warmest spring on record, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Near-record warmth in March prematurely melted mountain snow that the region relies on for drinking water and crop irrigation.

 

• The long-term drought picture "remained virtually unchanged" with no break in sight in the latest Drought Monitor, published weekly by NOAA. The report says at least half the rangeland and pastures in California, Wyoming, New Mexico, Colorado and Arizona was in poor condition.

 

Las Vegas may have to declare a drought emergency at year's end if the water level in Lake Mead drops to its lowest point in 40 years as predicted. The lake behind Hoover Dam provides 90 percent of the drinking water to the fast-growing Las Vegas area. The surface was a few inches below 1,128 feet on Friday, down about 85 feet from four years ago. The reservoir remains 55 percent full.

 

The National Weather Service predicts above-normal heat in the West and below-normal rain for the Northwest in July.

 

Most of the governors' states have suffered four to six years of drought that has sapped supplies, hurt recreation and damaged crops. The governors will meet with the head of NOAA, retired Navy Vice Admiral Conrad Lautenbacher, to discuss an early-warning system that could help them plan for drought and predict wildfire conditions.

 

 

 

 

IONIZING SOLAR ACTIVITY & MASS BEHAVIOR

 

CONFIRMED:  AS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED:  The ionic flux and the human contradictions of denial have focused people into thinking and plotting intensely their next round of moves within a highly polarized mental and emotional atmosphere.  Expect heavy choppiness in all things human.  Sudden shifts, both good and ill, everywhere.

 

One of most tangible ways in which we are currently seeing this manifest is in the progressive, HIGHLY SKILLED AND ORGANIZED violence in the Middle East.

 

Another of the most tangible ways we are seeing this manifest is in the outbreak of a sort of civil war between the experts in the U.S. bureaucracies, offices, and agents.  Doubtless, insider cliques in major portions of the CIA are determined to oust the Bush Administration.  “The Company” has even authorized a high official of its assessments team to publish anonymously a work on “Imperial Hubris”, which details essentially what MWM has been claiming and proving for the past two years. Namely, the Bush Administration has a fundamental disconnect with reality and has ram-roaded the U.S. into a series of  terrible mistakes.

 

(Since both the CIA and the Pentagon subscribe to the Earth Changes Bulletin, as well as academics at a few East Coast universities, maybe some of the ideas presented here have had an impact.)

 

AS PREDICTED LAST WEEK – CONFIRMED – “Now there is a definite possibility that another huge wave of ionic influx from another sunspot peak near 150 will hit the Earth during this coming week. This would make for a July which is even more chaotic than June…”

 

We will all roast in the ionic oven along with a steady and foul stream of torture pornography.  This week’s hit parade so far features an American soldier who was beaten so severely in a “training drill” of approved interrogation methods that he is permanently mentally impaired.  His buyoff – a pension of $2000/month.

 

Oh my, what a rotten smell.
