2005: Nearly all psychic
and avocational quake predictors believe that additional major tectonic
activity is about to occur during the next few weeks. The danger period probably extends through
to the end of March 2005. LENGTHY
NEW MATERIAL I am still working
diligently on this material which succinctly outlines predictions for the
period 2005 – 2012. This will serve as the
basis of two one day seminars during April, one in LATER, PERHAPS BY MID
MARCH: Beyond this I am also working
on the period of what the Q’ero call the Pachacuti and the Hopi call the "Great
Purification" (also known as the "Time of Troubles" or "The
Tribulations"). I have just
consumed four books and many iway articles and websites the past few weeks to
prepare for this. For a variety of
reasons, the final keys for putting together the final plot line of the
Fourth Age and the most probable key signals are now being brought forward
into my consciousness in a way which will allow me to describe them clearly
and specifically to the world. Due to
many issues, the greater bulk of this material shall not be openly available
directly on the internet. Access to
most of the predictions will be made available through paid annual
subscriptions. Because of the
strategic seriousness of some of the predictions, some I will only make
available through mouth and ear in private seminars. I will begin to advise of this material
through the EC Bulletins and through Alex Merklinger’s radio program EACH WEDNESDAY - Alex Merklinger Radio at Mysteries Of The Mind 7 PM Mountain Time FOR THIS YEAR OF THE GATHERING
EMERGENCE: On the geophysical front, at the current time
activity at the solar level of our vast Vortex continues to decrease and this
trend should continue for at least a few days. The Sunspot Count fell to 23
during the past several days and then rose to 54 today (probably a fleeting
spike) as the Flux dropped each day to 85, where it is still falling. Despite the huge "mystery
explosion" on the other side of the Sun, little solar storm activity is
active on the Earth and no disturbances are expected by any source for at
least several days. Yet still, the Jet
Stream circulation is kinked out far from normal and the Pacific Southwest
has received so much rain that for the first time in memory all the rivers
have filled to flooding not once but two or three times during the past four
months. And more is expected. Are we
seeing Global Warming or World Weather Manipulation at work? Or an
acceleration of the Changes In The Earth?

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. To see the internet resources which are used to
prepare this Update, take a look at the Earth
Monitor front page - http://www.michaelmandeville.com/earthmonitor/ The Bulletin is written in Arizona (UTC +8
hours) so any relative references, such as "Today", or "Tomorrow",
or "Yesterday" should generally to taken to refer to the day spans
as experienced in Western North America. |

COMING LATE SPRING IN WEEKLY
INSTALLMENTS: UPDATE PREDICTIONS FOR 2005 – 2012 and
through "The Tribulations"
go to the Earth
Changes Almanac A systematic synopsis
is being assembled which succinctly outlines predictions for the period 2005
– 2012 and through the period of what the Q’ero call the Pachacuti and the
Hopi call the "Great Purification" (also known as the "Time of
Troubles" or "The Tribulations". This outline will update the predictions in
"The Coming Economic Collapse of 2006" and the "Return of the
Phoenix", mainly by confirming the general plot line and by adding more
details which carry the predictions well beyond 2006-2008. PRELIMINARY FINDING: (based on the
integration of several credible psychic sources) We have perhaps as little as 1.5 years
but possibly up to 5 years before the first wave of "The Upheavals"
– the long predicted rupturing of the crust along the West Coast of North
America. This will terminate the
American Empire and consummate the final stages of a continental civic
struggle, a virtual civil war (but one without armies), which will have begun
as a consequence of the economic collapse during 2006-07. Several waves of catastrophic ruptures in various
locations of the crust will follow over some 20-25 years. These ruptures will create opportunities
for wars in Eurasia which are not restrained by the Western powers and
serious efforts will be made by regional coalitions to "conquer" the
greater part of COMING IN APRIL… Mandeville will be conducting a
book tour in the material will be
presented in English and translated into Italian Michael Wells Mandeville

POLITICIANS AND THE ECONOMY ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO 2008: This synthesis
is far ahead of the daily digests in all halls of the internet media: so far (since May 2003) the track
record on this set of predictions for 2003-2008 is running 100 per
cent. If you have not purchased this book, you will remain ignorant of
the main dynamics which are rapidly changing everything. LATEST UPDATE NOTE AS OF FEBRUARY 23, 2005: Ditto all conditions. ONLY MORE SO. LATEST UPDATE NOTE AS OF JANUARY 6, 2005:
On track, as discussed in
previous Bulletins. A new quick
summary is provided below in the Economy
section. LATEST UPDATE NOTE AS OF DECEMBER 22,
2004: No surprises, everything on track as
predicted…conditions remain about the same through to the first week of
January – things will then begin to break suddenly…into a fast and furiously
changing year. The tide will clearly
turn during 2005 on many fronts, collectively marking the end of the American
Age and a progressive waning of American stature and prosperity.. LATEST UPDATE NOTE AS OF NOVEMBER 17,
2004: As per stated below, the bubble is re-inflating for
a few more weeks or even months if Al Qaeda does not attack. Oil prices are dropping as stocks and
equities firm up and the economy continues expansion with the expectation
that American Imperialism will continue (unfortunately)
to drive international events during 2005. BEWARE SUDDEN REVERSALS WHEN

MUCH PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE IN COMPLETELY REDEFINING THE BULLETIN,
MONITOR, ALMANAC, AND WEBSITE, BUT SO FAR IT IS ALL INVISIBLE. THE NEW SCHEMA WILL BE INTRODUCED DURING
FEBRUARY AND MARCH We are halfway into
a process which will combine an almanac structure with the weekly
updates. I intend a three tier
Bulletin/Almanac Archive: a weekly
newsletter which is shorter than present, an archive of the Weekly Updates in
web pages, and a deeper core structure which is like an Almanac, encompassing
years, major references, explanations of all the details, and outlines for
many years in advance of various predictions and concerns. To this core we will link the Updates and
around the entire business we will add a variety of news feeds and tightly
focused discussion forums. From these news
feeds, some items in summary form will appear in the Updates. It will take a couple of months yet to
shape this up to where I will truly want it to be. Today you can
finally access an update of the past year's bulletins and the beginning of an
annual forecast for 2005. Click here

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. BREAKING
NEWS: All forces, BOTH DARK AND LIGHT, seem to be gathering and
abiding at the moment…. Many things and events are being set in motion but very
little is currently visible on the surface as people busy themselves
re-arranging the deck chairs of the Titanic. The loony Imperial Faction clearly is on a course for a
massive confrontation with the Iceberg of history. They have consummated almost a complete
takeover of the National government, all that remains are two Supreme Court
Justice appointments. None of us will escape the titanic struggle for the soul
of FOR
WINTER 2005: There is underway very rapid progress on all internal
spiritual and psychic development issues.
THOSE WHO MEDITATE ARE TUNING INTO INCREASING ENERGY LEVELS AND MAJOR
TRANSFORMATIONS OF HOW THEIR CHAKRAS BALANCE AND WORK. Much of this transformation is not very
describable as it involves shifts in how our personal "holographic"
field is experienced. DIET IS EXCEPTIONALLY IMPORTANT AS EVER BUT EVEN MORE SO
FOR THOSE WHOSE UPPER CHAKRAS ARE OPENING and energize. As they energize, the body begins to reject
more militantly the load of industrial chemistry which now adulterates the greater
bulk of American grocery store food items.
What to do about it is very complex and differs for nearly
all people. But here is a shot gun
approach which is probably very helpful for a great many If you are having an increased load of
health issues, drop prepackaged food out of your diet AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE,
fix from scratch with items as pure as possible, eat mega doses of sodium
acerbate (Vitamin C) or from natural sources such as rose hips, and MAKE SURE
YOU TAKE IN NO COOKING OILS EXCEPT FROM OLIVE OIL. OLIVE OIL IS A GIFT FROM THE GODS AND HAS
ALSO BEEN DEMONSTRATED TO DECREASE CANCER AND/OR SLOW DOWN ITS REPLICATION IN
THE BODY. Interior channels have energized and nearly everyone I
talk to relays similar experiences of new channels or access to new awareness
of imagery or feelings or knowledge opening up. A step-function in personal maturity has
been experienced, along with increased personal vibrancy. As it were, a real "personal
inauguration" seems at hand. It
is a good time to focus on the emerging Medicine Wheel of the Earth and our
energetic interconnection within Indri's Net.
It is an excellent time to enhance the power of inner visualization
and connection. Thanks to Adam for
bringing this back into our consciousness.
Try this visualization:. Indri's Net: (as
described in the ancient Sanskrit texts) There is an endless net of threads throughout the
universe. The horizontal threads are in space. The vertical threads are in time. At every crossing of threads there is an individual. And every individual is a crystal bead. The great light of absolute being illuminates and
penetrates every crystal being. And every crystal being reflects not only the light from
every other crystal in the net, But also every reflection of every reflection throughout
the universe. MWM: Try that on for visualizing the All In All we call
God. Talk about opening up channels…. Mayan Elders have delivered an urgent message: the major Earth Changes of the
"Pachacuti" or "Purification" period have begun with the
rupture of the Indo-Trench. They
expect increasing seismic activity and major quakes of a similar nature to
occur through the next several months. FOR 2005:
Some major keywords for 2005 are: "Gathering", most especially in the sense of
gathering of forces; "Being", as in the sense of fully participating
in the realization and practice of what we dare to hope we are becoming; "Accepting"; negatively as in eating the "Karmic
Blowback" (the American People are going to take an immense amount of
Karmic Blowback for the Tragedy in "Emerging", realization and experiencing of the
becomings long sought, most especially as in bringing forth the new
understandings, orientations, needs, and directions of purpose for a
profoundly different world than is celebrated in the Mass Media. In the positive dimension, around these keywords, many new
phenomenon will emerge, especially in the forms of groups and individuals
manifesting new activities. NEXT
SEVEN YEARS: In the negative dimension, the coming "Karmic
Blowback" is going to be terrible and shake the very roots of everything
in STAY FOCUSED ON HELPING THE EMERGENCE OF PEACE, JUSTICE,
AND FREEDOM. DENY ALL MOVEMENT TOWARDS
FASCISM. THE FASCISTS AND BIGOTS AMONG
THE NATIONS ARE GOING TO DELIVER INCREASING QUANTITIES OF KARMIC BLOWBACK TO
EACH OTHER. It will be terrible in the
coming years, and in 2005 the I SUGGEST YOU "DUCK" AND KEEP PUTTING YOURSELF
IN A DIFFERENT PLACE ALLTOGETHER – MENTALLY AND EMOTIONALLY AND POLITICALLY
AND ECONOMICALLY, AND IF YOU ARE URBAN DEPENDENT, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU
BEGIN TO FORM YOUR STRATEGY FOR PHYSICALLY DUCKING THE EMPIRE’S KARMIC
BLOWBACK FOR THE PERIOD 2006-2012, ESPECIALLY IF YOU LIVE IN THE EAST COAST
BUBBLE. No-Eyes, the blind old first world prophet of the Rockies
had it right 20 years ago, conditions are going to get increasing bad because
of the karmic blowback and there is no end in sight until "the Phoenix
screeches". BREATH
FREE. Let go of everything which is
disturbed, distorted, or weird. Let go of everything which is forced,
contrived, hidden, manipulative, and/or constrictive. Keep flowing with the
rising tide of spiritual energies which are filling many thirsty souls.
The old patterns are falling away. Transition continues. Embrace new
relationships which are trying to form in your life if they are honest and
straightforward and provide a new openness. Forget the fears of the unknown,
embrace all that which lifts your life into the light of a greater
understanding and relationship with the all. SPIRITS EMERGING:
CONFIRMING WHAT I PREDICTED LAST YEAR:
"In a short while, some will come forth giving witness to a great
energy which has come into their lives, literally, as if the hand of God was
upon them. This is becoming more and more apparent and these words will
have greater meaning by the end of the year." Here is one. ADAM,
an 18 year old healer in Don’t react, go to center, get clear,
release, and grieve…the Fourth Age is dying rapidly now… much more rapidly
than we thought, its institutions and identities are beyond saving… let it
go, let go, get to center…flow into God, let God flow into you…don’t
speculate, don’t analyze, don’t react to the shtuff…clear…clean out the past
four years…we are now free to grieve the death of everything we detested…let
it go…let it go…let it die. As you
re-center in God, find the realization that this is the final moment you have
been waiting for to end your connections and involvements with the illusions
and delusions of all that which has betrayed the divine within each and
brought greed, war, and destruction over the Earth. The destroyers belong to each other,
this is now the final time of their fatal embrace. Let them love their wars…they have greatly
desired the bitter wines of their hatreds and violence, they have lusted
greatly for their Armageddon, and they shall have it. The die has been cast with a thousand
artifices and illusions. With the
excellence of its manner of casting,
God has delivered to you your own freedom from the delusions and
spells of the Mass Sorcerers, indeed, from the entire age, if you will but
realize it. Clear yourself and your
life to find now the sense of movement and direction to separate your life
from the dying culture which is putrefying all around you. There is no saving
it…as Buckminster Fuller observed many decades ago, the old order is never
saved, the new order merely grows up around it to eventually takes its
place. So it will come to pass now in
an intense period of vast change during the next twenty years. |
The "Great Purification" predicted
by the Hopi, Maya, Q’ero, and many others continues. How amazing that
these ancient oral traditions could tune into last year and this one to
advise us that this was a period of profound historical turning involving The Great Purification of the Earth? For additional discussion, see the commentary of May 19, 2004 and the commentary of June 16, 2004. 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. |

FOR THE
MOST PART: 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. |

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. BREAKING
NEWS: The
phase-shifting appears to be slowing at the moment. The spiral track appears to be returning to
normal after have shifted in the time dimension by something like a month or
so. FOR A
DETAILED DISCUSSION OF THE RECENT "PHASE-SHIFTING" IN As reported in January: The Great Rupture of the Indo-Trench on Christmas 2004
caused a decided departure from what was already an aberrant track. The
track has not returned to normal and it appears to be initiating what may
best be described as a "phase shift" in the waveform of the motion
of the North Spin Axis relative to the surface of the Earth. The onset of
this phase shift began in approximately September 2004 and was followed
approximately 120 days later with the Christmas Day Great Rupture.
Earlier "phase-shifts" of BUT
CURRENTLY, the phase-shifting appears
to have ended and the track of the wobble is now turning inward tightly to
begin a rapid spiraling motion into the MIN phase of the wobble. Accordingly, it may be fair to conclude that the peak period
of danger from major tectonic events is now beginning to ebb. However, keep in mind that the Earth is a
huge and ponderous system with immense inertia. The effects of the recent phase-shift may
be felt for the next two years. I RECOMMEND EXCEPTIONAL VIGILENCE AROUND THE EQUATORIAL
ZONE, ESP IN THE CARIB PLATE, THE BAJA PLATE, THE BACKGROUND
INFORMATION No change
from last week For an excellent timely discussion of mass instability in
the Earth during this current time, check out this very interesting article by
William Hutton which is linked below.
Long time subscribers to the EC Bulletins will recall that I began to
report in 2000 that a major anomaly had appeared beginning in December 1998
in the track of Chandler's Wobble (of the North Spin Axis). Hutton, a retired professional geologist,
has followed up this lead with this very interesting article which confirms
the anomaly within his framework of thought. This is especially pertinent because the current anomaly
is beginning to smell a lot like the 1998-1999 anomaly, which
"phase-shifted" the wobble to some degree. If the wobble once again
phase-shifts as it approaches its MIN spiral track in the 6.5 year cycle, it
will reveal a new recurring pattern in polar motion which has not been
apparent since the 1936 phase shift which Edgar Cayce described. For one thing, it will reveal that the
Earth will require an era of shape-shifting and accelerated wobble drift to
regain a balanced distribution of mass (more mass needs to be shoved by
centrifugal spin energy towards the equator). Reflect on the idea that a phase-shift represents a shift
in the time domain for a variable…suddenly it is in a new time connection
with the flux of the universe. Now
reflect for a moment that the primary description of the shifting of the
poles which was offered by the oral tradition of the Inca is the name "Pachacuti",
which they defined as a rip in the fabric of time… This is ALL VERY PERTINENT as well because it tends to
corroborate the "feeling" of the tripwires among psychics and
shamen and avante garde researchers that an acceleration is occurring in
Earth Changes right now and that many more major quakes are to be expected
during the coming months. As you will see in Hutton's discussion, the 1998
incident was followed by some historical quakes. for background information, click here POSSIBLE
POLE-SHIFT PRECURSOR FOUND! Hutton
Commentaries On 1998 Polar Motion Anomaly RECENT The "jiggle" in the polar motion wobble produced
by the 9.2 Indo-Trench quake can be clearly seen on the spiral wobble track. It is as if two vectors at 90 degrees to each other are
contending with each other over which force will move the Earth’s crust the
most, and thus move the location of the North Spin Axis in one direction or
another. Since this anomaly is directly synchronous with the Great
Rupture of the Indo-Trench, I am deeply suspicious that the events are
directly related (the slightly erratic wobble causing the rupture, the
rebound of which shifts the wobble into an even more erratic motion). The specific causes are unknown (the general cause is
simple: an accumulating imbalance in
the distribution of the mass of the Earth on which centrifugal force acts to
push excess mass towards the Equator). The appearances of the graphs of polar motion suggest that
this is an "emerging" and accelerating instability which has been
increasing in tempo for at least the past 20 years. (Actually this is an
illusion, it is the crust of the Earth which is wobbling and moving as
centrifugal force attempts to push accumulating extra mass (such as polar ice
pack) towards the equator). This acceleration in the rate of motion suggests the there
is indeed a "Change In The Earth", as long prophesied, beginning to
happen right before our eyes and under our feet. As many no doubt have been reading, many prophetic
"tripwires" among psychics and First World Medicine Wheel elders
are clearly interpreting current Earth events as signals and signs and
effects of the "Pachacuti", "Great Purification", or
"Tribulation" which precedes the final avalanche of the crust
(shifting of the poles, Ragnarok, Judgment Day, etc.). FOR 2005: In general, the Wobble Track is showing
continued tightening of the Chandler’s Wobble Spiral, as should be at this
time in its 7 year Wobble Cycle, and the track seems to be conforming with a
continued acceleration in the rate of drift, but this can be by no means
certain until this 7 year cycle is over.
In about two years we will be able to locate the minimum spiral of
motion and then look for the average 7 year "location" of this past
seven years for comparison with previous cycles. NEXT
SEVEN YEARS: KEEP IN
MIND THAT THIS
WATCH HAS BEEN SET TO LOOK EXACTLY FOR THIS TYPE OF DEPARTURE OF THE EARTH
FROM ITS PREVIOUS SPIRALING WOBBLE TRACKS.
THESE MOTIONS DURING THE PAST 90 DAYS CONFIRMS THE THESIS OF VORTEX
TECTONICS AND THE DEDUCTION FOR THE PROJECTED AVALANCHE OF THE CRUST WHICH
WAS CALCULATED IN THE "RETURN
OF THE PHOENIX". (The spiral track takes nearly seven years to define a
complete wobble cycle and it takes the entire cycle to be able to calculate
the average location of the North Spin Axis in order to compare it against
other "average locations" in the previous axis cycles. From this, a straight line track of the
"average locations" can be computed and the acceleration in the
rate of motion of the "shift" can be defined I believe at the current time that this will show a specific
"jump" this past year, a micro "pole shift". Very
micro.) REFERENCE:

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. EXCELLENT
UPDATING BACKGROUNDER: Focus On Our
Magnetic Planet http://www.terradaily.com/news/earth-magnetic-05b.html "Mission
controllers cross their fingers whenever the Sun is stormy and their
spacecraft have to fly over the Troublesome faults
occur in electronic systems and astronauts see flashes in their eyes. The
Earth's magnetic field, which shields our planet against charged atomic
particles coming from outer space, is curiously weak in that region. The South Atlantic
Anomaly, as the experts call it, is one pressing reason why they are
intensifying their exploration of the Earth's magnetism. These satellites
show that the danger zone for satellites over The Earth's
magnetic field is becoming generally weaker at an astonishing rate. When a
French-Danish team compared Orsted's results for 2000 with those from an
American satellite, Magsat, 20 years earlier, the decline in the field's
strength suggested that it might disappear completely in a thousand years or
so. The experts wonder
if our planet is preparing to swap its north and south magnetic poles around,
as it has often done before during the Earth's long history. These and other
mysteries about our magnetic planet will get the closer attention they
deserve, in ESA's forthcoming Swarm project. Three satellites will work
together to measure the magnetic field and its variations far more accurately
than ever before. [...] Separating the
different sources of magnetism Ordinary magnetic
compasses obey the main magnetic field, produced by electric currents in the
Earth's core of molten iron. But in magnetic storms, compass needles wander. Since the 19th
Century scientists have linked these storms to eruptions on the Sun. Many
space ventures, recently including the ESA-NASA SOHO spacecraft and ESA's
four-satellite Cluster mission, have helped to clarify the solar connection. We live in a
protective bubble in space called the magnetosphere. At its boundary, gusts
in a non-stop solar wind of atomic particles battle with the Earth's
magnetism. As a result, events
in outer space make a continual but highly variable contribution to the
magnetic field. So do electric currents in the ionosphere, the zone of free
electrons and charged air molecules high in the atmosphere that's best known
for reflecting radio signals. Other, much weaker
patterns are overlaid on the global picture. In the Earth's crust, many rocks
have built-in magnetism that remembers the direction of the main magnetic
field when they formed. This affects the
field measured locally. By its subtle east-west comparisons Swarm will
picture the magnetic field of the crust with unprecedented clarity. And even
ocean water generates electric currents as it move in the main field, so that
the ebb and flow of the tides have a slight magnetic effect. As gauged by the
satellites, the main field is roughly 6,000 times stronger than the rock
magnetism of the ocean floor, and 30,000 times greater than the influence of
the oceanic tides. Only with delicate
measurements by satellite constellations, supported by ground stations, ships
and aircraft carrying magnetic instruments, can scientists sort out all the
patterns of magnetism from the different sources. The most careful
analyses reveal yet another effect. Magnetic variations drive electric
currents in the mantle, the main region between the core and the crust. These
in turn cause further magnetic changes, from which scientists can estimate
the electrical conductivity of the mantle. This provides a check on the
temperature of the material hidden deep in the Earth's interior. "What excites
us is the huge scope of what we can study even with quite small
satellites," comments Nils Olsen of the "By making
magnetic measurements in space we get new information about the Earth, from
the molten core deep under our feet, through the mantle, to the crust on
which we live. And then we go on upwards into the upper atmosphere, through
the planet's local space environment, and all the way to the Sun itself,
which is the source of daily magnetic disturbances." Practical benefits Solar storms can be
fatal for satellites, and not only on account of radiation damage. The
atmosphere inflates and low-orbiting spacecraft run into unexpected air
resistance. Experts used to
think it was just a matter of the air being heated by particles and electric
currents in the regions around the poles, where auroras occur. Now a sensitive
French-built accelerometer on the German CHAMP satellite has revealed heating
by intense currents where the solar wind pushes towards the magnetic poles in
daytime. The three Swarm satellites will investigate this new effect with
accelerometers of their own. Swarm's operational
lifetime, 2009-13, will coincide with the next expected peak of storminess on
the Sun. Immediate practical benefits will centre on Swarm's general monitoring
of space weather, and the solar events affecting not just spacecraft and
astronauts but technological systems on the ground as well. Magnetic storms can
damage power systems and pipelines, whilst the changes in the magnetic field
can mislead any navigational systems that use magnetic compasses. These
include compasses operating underground to guide the drills used to find and
recover oil. For scientists, the
biggest benefit of Swarm is that high-quality magnetic measurements provide a
new way of 'x-raying' the hidden interior of planet. Earthquake waves and
variations in the strength of gravity already provide a picture of the hot
core, the rocky mantle that surrounds it, and the ever-active crust. But the
picture is not yet clear enough for scientists to agree how the internal
machinery of the planet really works. "Magnetic
measurements give a fresh point of view on the Earth's interior," says
Roger Haagmans, who is responsible for solid-Earth science in ESA's Earth
Observation programme. "And Swarm
will also investigate the puzzling changes in the Earth's core that are
responsible for the present weakening of the magnetic field. That's already a
matter of practical concern for many satellite operators. With a better idea
of the reasons, we may know what to expect in the busy decades of spaceflight
that we have ahead of us." |

MOON We are in Lunation #1016 and we are now 14 days past the New Moon of February 8. As of February Day 23, the Moon this day is now in its North Node (orbiting North
of the Equator). It is now approximately 400,305 KM from the Earth. It
is 99% of the Full Moon (visibility or phase) now waxing toward the Full Moon
of February 24. LUNAR PERIGEE/APOGEE/PHASE TABLE FOR 2005 Event Day UTC
Distance Days +/- Phase
SEISMIC SYZYGY WINDOWS QUALIFER:
As we have seen at least three times this past year, most dramatically
with the recent outbreak (Oct 23-26 2004) of large Earthquakes on the West
side of Honshu Island (Japan), the Syzygy Window and Perigee principles DO
NOT WORK CONSISTENTLY TO FORECAST AN INCREASE IN MAGNITUDE NOR FREQUENCY OF
EARTHQUAKES. Using strictly an
intuitive view of the past 12 months, the rate of accuracy is definitely
larger than random but probably not larger than about 70% for any given area. THE
CURRENT WEEK We are in a Full Moon syzergy not too far from an
apogee. This should be a relatively
weak Full Moon syzergy in terms of tectonic activity. FOR THE
YEAR 2005 The strongest syzygies (based on the combination of the Lunar
Phase with Perigee) during the first half of the year should tend to be
around the New Moon. The New Moon and
Perigee combination was the strongest in January (occurring at virtually the
same time on January 10) and the combination gradually gets weaker during the
year and is at its lowest during the Summer. The Full Moon is in the weakest syzygy (based on its
distance from the Earth) during January and SUCCEEDING FULL MOONS will
gradually become stronger, achieving their greatest pull on the Earth in June
and July. (Cancer natives will have a
maximum power Lunar whammy this year).
Then it gradually gets weaker during the remainder of the year while
the New Moon is slowly gaining again in strength. HOWEVER, VERY IMPORTANT QUALIFICATION: This characterization of strong and weak
syzygies does not necessarily mean you can predict the strength or frequency
of earthquake activity by this means…the Earth is inconsistent and full of
surprises to keep us all busy.
Outbreaks of seismic activity can and do break out at any time. Large
quakes tend to be in the syzygies, but they are not always… AS PREVIOUSLY
OBSERVED: Jim Berkland, the originator of using syzygy to
define the most active periods of seismic activity has a more complex method
for computing dates and you may want to use his methods for greater
precision. For details see the Syzygy website Seismic/Tsunami
Heads Up All Zones Given the
constellation of many material forces and various human impressions, all
peoples who live in the Pacific Rim of Fire and along the Australian Plate,
especially those on the coasts, should at all times maintain a heightened
sense of vigilance MOST
ESPECIALLY DURING THE NEXT 40 DAYS. Right now is the time to work through
your evacuation plan. It is a useful drill for anytime and it may be needed
in somewhere during the next 90 days. If you fall into the target areas
outlined above, DO IT NOW. (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. THE NEXT PLANETARY ALIGNMENTS For any "Home Planet Software" charts
of the planets which are shown here or through URLS which are provided on
this page, you can decipher which planet is which by counting the orbital
rings if you do not know the signs which denote the planets. Mercury is 1
closest to the Sun, Venus is 2, Earth is 3, Mars is 4, Jupiter is 5, Saturn
is 6, Uranus is 7, IMPORTANT
NOTE ABOUT PLANETARY/SOLAR INFLUENCES:
Solar
Cycle 23 is rapidly approaching its minima period when solar activity and
sunspot counts will be minimal most of the time. But even so, major sunspot peaks, big
flares, coronal holes, and powerful CME’s will still occur once in a while,
as the graphs of previous sunspot cycles definitely show. These flare-ups will be a lot less
predictable than during the past four years, which makes the large flare-ups
even more intrusive. LIST OF

alignments are shaping up during the next couple of weeks: Venus | Uranus Mars | Pluto Venus will go on to align with Uranus on March 7 while
Mars aligns in a different quadrant of the solar system with Pluto. These are likely to produce a milder
increase in solar activity than the last alignments involving Mercury. From January through to June 2005, four particular periods stand out for their
potential to induce major reactions in the solar atmosphere and pull out huge
ionic storms, high sunspot counts, and major effects on the Earth’s weather. The Spring Grand Alignment Jupiter | Earth | Mercury | Sun | Venus Beginning by about March 7, at least major peaks in the
sunspot count should produce three major waves of early Spring storm fronts.

STAR & PLANET WATCHING For background and the current information on
observable planets. NASA REPORTS ON THE NEAREST KNOWN PROBABLE
MAJOR ASTEROID ENCOUNTER:
"There's no danger of a collision, but on April 13, 2029, asteroid
2004 MN4 will come awfully close to Earth. You'll be able to see the
300m-wide space rock glowing like a 3rd magnitude star as it passes only
30,000 km above our planet's surface--closer than many satellites. [full
story]
That's a
mighty big rock and that's mighty close. NASA'S
DATA ON NEAR EARTH ASTEROIDS: "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 are on a collision course with our
planet, although astronomers are finding new ones all the time." On 23
Feb 2005 there were 672 known Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (three more than last
month). For February 2005, NASA has listed three Earth-asteroid encounters
ranging from 14 to 15 LD’s away (see below).
Notes: LD is a "Lunar

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. A 7-day
movie of the Sun captured Feb. 8th - 15th by the Solar and Heliospheric
Observatory (SOHO). AS OF FEBRUARY DAY 23: AS PREDICTED, THE SUNSPOT COUNT DROPPED
AGAIN WAY DOWN to 23 with a declining Solar Flux at 93 on Feburary 22. But February 23 saw a sudden rise in the
sunspot count to 54 even thought the Flux continued dropping to 85. This is probably momentary. Both the Flux
and Sunspot Count should continue dropping for a few days but they will
likely "twin up" about the first of March for the next alignments
on or about March 7. Date Flux

23 510 2005 02 23 85 54 200 AS PREVIOUSLY OBSERVED: Solar Cycle 23 is dying quickly
but IT CAN AND WILL OCCASSIONALLY PRODUCE SUDDEN STORMY MOMENTS WITH BRIEF
MOMENTS OF HIGH SUNSPOT COUNTS, CME’S FLARES, ETC. "NOW" is the kind of moment when
these spritzy solar moods will come. MONTHLY AVERAGES IN
SOLAR CYCLE 23 Over
all, the sunspot average count (ISSN) for February 2004 was 46.0. By November
2004, the count was still abnormally high at 43.7, making the decline of
Solar Cycle 23 slow indeed. But
December clearly brought the end of the high sunspot counts. The average
dipped down to a low of 17.9, surprising everyone. The predicted average
value for January was 27 but the Sun's average sunspot output nearly double
December's and rose to 31.3. February's
is expected to be 21 and since there are few compelling planetary alignments
during February, this projection may well be very close. FOR 2005 – 2009 The
average count should drop during the next 12 months to a monthly low in the
range of 10. More and more, now and
for the next half dozen years, the Sun will influence Earth’s atmosphere and
weather less and less. Global Warming
and El Nino type of phenomena will be more and more influential compared to
the solar input. The geo-data we
gather during the next three years about weather, climate, the Arctic,
Antarctic, Drought Regions, etc. will be extremely valuable in telling us
what the true long-term geo-trends really are. NOTE: The Sun and its
cycles are really not very "average" and not very "cyclical"
or "regular". Nowhere can we
find any evidence of an exact regularity, only constant variations. The Sun is and probably always has been a
vast cauldron of chaotic storms, electro-magnetic upwellings, and enormous
explosions and sudden flares (or CME’s) which can extend out as far as even
the outer planets, producing somewhat chaotic impacts on the planets. All this makes exact predictions of solar
activity far beyond the pale of human science, even with first class models
of the electromagnetic gradients created by the planets and their orbital
relationships. From this it is easy to
infer with considerable experience and conviction, that nothing on Earth can
be foreseen, EXACTLY. Just as some
order is inevitable, so is some chaos built directly into the cosmos. |

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). Descriptions and numbers are based on numbers as given by Iway
sources at about 1:00 – 3:00 PM With the
exception of a huge energetic explosion on the Far Side of the Sun, solar
activity muted down all week as predicted here last week. The Solar Wind was slow at: 408.4 km/s this hour while pushing a thick density of 6.7
protons/cm3". NASA REPORTS: "A solar wind stream flowing from the indicated coronal
hole could reach Earth on or about February 26th." This could increase the energy in Earth's
weather storm fronts. Fluxgate
Magnetometer: To see the Fluxgate moment to moment, CLICK HERE. The Fluxgate Chart at the
University of Alaska (which measures magnetic disturbances in the Earth’s
atmosphere created by solar winds and ion storms) shows a virtual flatline during the past 24
hours (as
of this time, about 2 PM Mountain time US). NASA NASA PREDICTS: There is a 1-30%
probability of geomagnetic storms, 1%-5% probability on coronal holes, CME’s,
and M and/or X Class Flares. NASA
REPORTS: "SOLAR EXPLOSION: Three days ago something exploded on the
sun. We couldn't see the blast from Earth because the blast-site was hidden
behind the sun's western limb." A candidly stupid remark on the NASA website
space.com: "Solar farside explosions … have no effect on Earth,
but they can interact with other planets. Yesterday's blast was directed more
or less toward Mars. One day humans will go to the Red Planet; the colonists
be very interested in this kind of solar activity." One would "think" that an astrophycist would
learn that EVERYTHING IN THE SOLAR VORTEX IS CONNECTED and influences
everything else. Jan
Alvestad reports: " The
geomagnetic field was inactive to quiet on February 22. Solar wind speed
ranged between 345 and 417 km/sec. The total field of the interplanetary
magnetic field was stronger than normal, however, the IMF was mostly
northwards all day and no geomagnetic disturbance was observed. Solar flux measured at 20h UTC on 2.8 GHz
was 92.3. The planetary A index was 4 (STAR Ap - based on the mean of three
hour interval ap indices: 4.1)...At midnight there were 2 spotted regions on
the visible solar disk. The solar flare activity level was very low. No C
class events were recorded during the day. Region 10735 decayed slowly and is rotating over the
southwest limb. Region 10736 was mostly unchanged and rotated partly out
of view at the northwest limb...A poorly defined trans equatorial coronal
hole (CH147) was in a geoeffective position on February 20-22. " Jan
Alvestad predicts: "A recurrent coronal hole (CH148) in the northern
hemisphere will likely rotate to a geoeffective position on February
23-24. The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet to active on February 23-27 due to coronal hole effects." Alvestad also predicts for the next 24
hours a 20-60% probability of coronal holes, a 0-20% probability of CME’s,
and a 0-20% probability of M and/or X Class Flares. |

WORLD WEATHER SUMMARY Those who have been watching the weather patterns
track the Sunspot Peaks 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. With the
decline in sunspot activity, weather is now more governed by Earth’s
geophysics and will be mostly through to about 2010. For geophysical-based
reports and predictions – start with Yahoo Weather, or the Weather Channel.
Am I resigning from weather forecasts?
Almost. This section will only add commentary on possible weather
disturbances when major sunspot peaks form up. These should be more rare than during the
past four years. FOR AN
ALMANAC SYTLE SUMMARY FORECAST OF 2005 ALIGNMENTS, SUNSPOT PEAKS, WEATHER
IMPACTS, AND HUMAN MOOD SHIFTS (through to Summer at this point) AND a
general discussion of how all this works and why this is worth doing, click
here for Earth
Changes Almanac. THIS
REQUIRES MODIFICATION: AS PREVIOUSLY PREDICTED: I think the weather patterns pretty much
prove up the case of Global Warming and reveal what the essential syndrome is
going to be: a major shift in the eco systems of the extreme North and the
desert zone latitudes with short intense Winters and Summers and long drawn
out often stormy Springs and Falls. 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. AS PREDICTED LAST WEEK:
WE ARE STILL IN AN INBETWEEN PERIOD WHICH WILL BE CHARACTERIZED BY
MANY UNPREDICTABLE AND UNSTABLE WEATHER FRONTS. CONTINUE TO EXPECT 50% PROBABILITY OF
NEARLY ANYTHING. AND
HOW!!! HOW MUCH? LET ME COUNT THE INCHES OF RAIN IN LOS
ANGELES SINCE THE BEGINNING OF JANUARY:
19. Even in
places that get a lot of rain, that is a lot of rain! ONCE AGAIN: Jet Stream is still kinky and chaotic. There is a good chance of just about
anything during the next week, freak Spring weather one day, freak snow storm
the next. LAST WEEK WRONG: it
will get more predictable in a few more days. That one was too early.
It is only now that the weather may now settle down and be more in the
"rut" of normality. But not
for long….Spring planetary alignments and massive storm fronts are waiting in
the wings. EARTH WEATHER PREDICTION FOR WINTER
SEASON (Northern Hemisphere) This "sloppycast"
is based on sunspot counts, planetary alignments, and visual data shown on
satellite and radar. IT DOESN'T
LOOK LIKE A SHORT WINTER AT ALL. AND I AM NOW
BEGINNING TO SUSPECT THAT PLANETARY WEATHER MODIFICATION HAS BEEN IN FULL
GEAR THE PAST FEW MONTHS, SEE THE BLACK ARTS NATION SECTION BELOW. FOR
SPRING: During the end of
March we will have another major round of extreme weather, due to the five
planet straight line alignment. After
a mild ending to Winter, the first week of Spring will rapidly turn into a
very stormy period of about two weeks of extremely wet weather. No doubt the high mountains will have
another late round of snow and the
skiing season may be extended in many areas. 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. We got another FOUR inches of rain this past several days
in the Sonoran Desert Foothills and we should have more in the next
week. This will make late March and
April a riot of wildflowers. ALL THE RIVERS IN THE PACIFIC SOUTHWEST ARE FULL OF….YES,
I BELIEVE IT IS ACTUALLY WATERRRRRRRRRRRRRR EVERYWHERE.. I HAVE NEVER SEEN WATER ACTUALLY RUNNING IN MOST OF
THEM. THIS ONE IS STILL WORKING:
No change this week. The forecast
below is on track…the grass is growing thicker and taller than ever, the
brittlebush is blooming, the Jojoba are setting prodigious numbers of beans
for the first time in years. What a
harvest of wild jojoba can be had. The Sonoran Desert Plain will have a long Spring with some
occasional light rain getting rarer and rarer until the Summer Monsoon
begins. Wild flowers are already blooming all over. I am
not sure at this point what is in store for the Summer Monsoon. AS PREVIOUSLY OBSERVED:
The past 120 days has clearly broken the drought pattern of the past
four years. You can see it in the
plants and the atmosphere everywhere.
It "feels" wet here now even on a sunny day, which it rarely
has during the past six years (that I have been here). Some climatologists are arguing that this is
an anomalous wet year for the Pacific Southwest and that the drought will
reassert itself next year or the year after.
I am inclined to think that the drought in the Southwest is a product
of both the Sunspot Cycle 23 and the Global Warming syndrome. From this, I suppose that the drought
pattern may be somewhat reduced during the next four years during the Sunspot
Minima, submerged completely by a lot of rain during El Nino, if it appears, but
slowly the drought will reappear during the next climb of sunspot counts
during Solar Sunspot Cycle 24. |

EL NINO & LA NINA WATCH http://www.cdc.noaa.gov/map/clim/sst_olr/sst_animated.gif BREAKING
NEWS: Apparently the NOAA animated chart I use is no
longer updated weekly, only monthly. I AM SUSPECTING MORE AND MORE STRONGLY THAT ONE OF THE
REASONS IS THAT PLANETARY WEATHER MODIFICATION EXPERIMENTS ARE UNDERWAY. IF THE CHARTS UPDATE ONLY MONTHLY, WEEKLY
FLUCTUATIONS ARE CANCELLED OUT. The
short term fluctuations might betray the signature of beam weapons which are
altering ocean sea surface temperatures in selected areas. In any event, I can see that NOAA making it difficult for outsiders to deduce
what it happening on the long term weather front. Maybe it is the abject cheapness of
Republican Imperial Domination, maybe it is a conspiracy to keep us ignorant,
and maybe it is both. As of
January 23, 2005, NO TREND IS APPARENT El Nino MAY OR MAY NOT OCCUR. No prediction one way or the other is truly
possible at the current moment but if anyone will lay me odds at Vegas, at
the moment I will bet on one. BACKGROUND: The NOAA website
for El Nino has gotten fairly well organized and is far more digestible by
laypeople. Try clicking here to go to the latest NOAA ENSO Home Page. If El Nino does begin to firm up, it will have little
impact on the Winter of 2005, but it may begin to impact the Spring and hit
heavy and hard during the Summer and Fall months and perhaps deliver a VERY
wet and warm Winter for 2006. Or not…only time will tell. Probably by the end of May we will know for
certain. AS
REPORTED PREVIOUSLY – THE CLASSIC EL NINO – We do not at this point know
whether an El Nino is in the offing for 2005.
Purely in accordance with the
X Wave correlation which I discovered in the Vortex Tectonics Model, AN
EL NINO IS MORE PROBABLE THAN NOT IN 2005.
But, the El Nino is not like an astrophysical cycle. There are some "missing" El
Nino’s in the record of the 20th century and we may have a missing
one. HOWEVER, WE CAN’T BE CERTAIN
UNTIL ABOUT APRIL OF 2005, which is about the latest month in which the
syndrome has formed up during previous El Nino’s. 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. |

IONIZING SOLAR ACTIVITY & MASS BEHAVIOR BREAKING
NEWS All conditions muting out.
This muting should continue.
Even the Europeans are muting out their reactions to the Bush Chutzpa,
which looks increasingly like one of the strange animals described in the
Book of Revelations. FOR THE
NEXT PERIOD No change from last week. With the falling count of the average Sunspot Count, more
and more people are shifting international discussions to elections,
compromises, negotiations, diplomacy, renouncing or ending violence, etc.. all
within the context set by the Imperial Faction. It is the next wave and it could take us through to the
Fall of 2005. How the coalition shapes
up in With the death (likely CIA or MOSSAD inspired assassination)
of Arafat, the American military machine is knee deep already in taking over
the Palestinian government. A U.S.
General has been "appointed" by the PLO to rebuild its
"security forces". It should
be obvious where all of that is going…. Bush's Democracy is springtime all over the Mid-East and
as you have no doubt noticed they are grinning like the Cheshire Cat. STAND PAT AGAIN THIS
WEEK The assessment as of last week, repeated below, is well
and good in very general terms for this rapid descent into Sunspot Cycle 23
MIN. For a general discussion and forecast for the Spring
Season, go to: Earth
Changes Almanac IN GENERAL
FOR 2005-2009 DURING LULLS OF THE
SOLAR VORTEX: AS OBSERVED AS OF DECEMBER 30: As the sunspot counts decline and fail to
peak for the planetary alignments, the impact on humans and the biosphere is
declining progressively. Relatively
more human activity will tend to be more driven by mental activity and
spiritual connectivity than emotional impulses. This is going to be especially true with the four year jag
of emotional associations around "patriotism". During 2005, patriotism and martial ardor
will become increasingly "old"
among the young and the marginal. More
and more soldiers will wake up and realize they have been on a "bender"
which left them in a literal hellhole. As solar activity ebbs into low activity levels, have you
noticed that the polls are increasingly showing that people think the Tragic
Invasion of Iraq was in fact A MISTAKE (now some 60%) and that 65% believe Rusted
should go. People collectively are losing the ardor of blind
emotional commitments which the sorcerers in the Mass Broadcast Media and the
agents of Hillbilly Sunday whipped up.

EARTHQUAKES Around the world to see the current and
potential patterns of seismic activity, with coverage of the windows of
danger. Unless otherwise specified, all quake activity which is discussed
is based on the USGS database charts and tables which list quake activity in
excess of 2.0 mag. and above. Unfortunately there are many lags in
reporting of information about quakes, thus neither the numbers of quakes nor
the actual quakes discussed may be complete and accurate. Real time
analysis of quake patterns is merely AN APPROXIMATION BASED ON INCOMPLETE
INFORMATION. FOR MORE QUAKE INFO RELATED TO SYZYGY WINDOWS, Jim
Berkland calculates syzygy windows with considerably more sophistication than
I do. See
Syzygy.com World seismic activity this past seven days was dominated
by activity on the Northern and Eastern edges of the Australian Tectonic
Plate. Some activity remained in the
Nicobar/Andaman/Sumatra Islands area, but the action has predominately
shifted to the East. So far both magnitude and frequency of seismic activity is
depressed. Another shoe should fall
during the next three days and activity should pick up substantially for at
least a day or so. The most active area in the world continued 90 degrees
away from the Andaman Islands in the Another 90 degrees away, substantial activity continued in
the area of Ecuador-Columbia-Costa Rica, with activity along the Andes
Mountains and up into Mexico and Baja.
In general the Carib plate continued a heightened level of activity
and this is likely to continue. Eight
modest sized shape-shifters struck in the Great Rift, two in the Atlantic
Polar Zone, one in the Atlantic-Antarctic Zone, one in the East Pacific Rise,
AND FOUR

CULMINATING IN THE 6.4 QUAKE IN PREDICTORS
TAKE NOTE. I do believe from the 17th of February through
to the 22nd of February the shape of the Earth "rippled"
up a Longitude East 58-68 belt, such that the Earth spread out along the line
to the East and the West in a wave pattern which began just to the South of
the Equator and ended near (relatively speaking) the junction of the Indian Ocean
Plate and Eurasia. THIS IS EXACTLY THE PATTERN, THOUGH WITH MUCH MORE
ACTIVITY, WHICH I PREDICTED IN THE "RETURN OF THE The spreading Indian Ocean seven quake shape-shifter
(including the quakes in THIS WEEK VIRTUALLY REPEATED LAST WEEK IN THE Quake activity in North America was down substantially in
most areas except the total number was about the same as last week mainly due
to increased activity in AS PREVIOUSLY OBSERVED:
Quite clearly the Earth is rapidly adjusting its shape in response to
the phase-shifting of the Chandler Wobble and the sudden rupturing of the
Indo-Trench. The equatorial zone is
still in process of adjusting the shape of the Earth along Sumatra and at the
opposite side at the coast of With the flexing once again of the Great Rift in multiple
locations, the shape shifting is probably broadening out to slowly adjust
more of the overall shape of the Earth.
This has stimulated a focal point of activity in both the A period of accelerated tectonic activity will likely
continue for the remainder of this year.
This shape-shifting process is by no means over. The phase-shifting process in the wobble is
not over and will require additional adjustments in the shape of the
earth. And, more probable than not,
the earth is only beginning to respond to the large amount of change related
to the indo-trench area. AS PREVIOUSLY OBSERVED:
I AM STILL VERY CONCERNED THAT THE EARTH IS "COCKING
THE TRIGGER" THIS YEAR FOR MAJOR TECTONIC ACTIVITY WHICH WILL BREAK OUT
IN COSA NOSTRA DAMUS WATCH FOR SUPER ALERT FOR THIS WATCH!!! As witnessed by the Indo-Trench
Rupture and the aberrant motions of the Earth’s crust, global tectonic
motions in the Earth are unstable and obviously are tending to exceptionally
explosive releases in the trenches of tectonic collision and in the spreading
Great Rift zones. The Western ledge of the Carib
Plate is 180 degrees from the 9.3 quake in the Indo-Trench. Accordingly, the Carib Plate may also
release its "shape-shifting" stress during one of the upcoming
Lunar syzygies this year. This release
could come in the form of major volcanism and major Earthquakes which breaks
out first in AS PREVIOUSLY
OBSERVED: according to the Cosa Nostra Damus Prophecy, a
major destructive quake could now strike at any time in SLOW EARTH MOVEMENT WATCH No reports to add this week SHAPE-SHIFTERS WATCH The quake activity in the Great Rift is one of
the most important harbingers for the Earth Changes Watch to monitor. As the
Earth’s crust adjusts its shape in response to gravitational and spin energy
vectors, quakes in the Great Rift increase and tectonic activity all around
the world increases. (Unless otherwise specified, all quake activity which is
discussed is based on the USGS LOCAL AREA database charts and tables which
list quake activity in excess of 3.0 mag. and above. Generally most of the
quakes which appear in these counts are 4.5 plus in magnitude.) For

VOLCANOES Around the world with the most interesting and
relevant volcano stories; briefs on the likely eruptions as well as coverage
of on-going activity. For information on current eruptions, see the Southwest Volcano Centre. Or
see "Breaking
Volcano Eruption News". As predicted here last year volcanic activity
is still picking up and more probable than not will continue building up on
through June of 2005, when once again it will begin to taper off. OBSERVABLE
WORLD VOLCANIC ACTIVITY HAS DEFINITELY CONTINUED AT LAST WEEK'S PACE AND ONCE AGAIN INCREASED THIS PAST SEVEN DAYS by a factor of 3–5%. The number
of active volcanoes increased from 23 to 28 in just the past fourteen
days. Once again, more and more
intermittent "smokers" are flaring on and off in ash plumes and
lava flows, led again as nearly always by the lava flows of New lava flows
were spotted this week flowing out of Etna.
El Popo
activity suddenly flared up from 16 emissions last Wednesday to 46 during the
past 24 hours. AS LAST
WEEK: Ash and steam emissions are continuing
all around the AS LAST WEEK: Saint
Helens is sedate but now accelerating the building of a dome and at least
four look-alike volcanoes on the Kamchatka have begun emitting ash and stream
and minor explosions. Pacific Rim Northern Arc volcanoes seemed destined to
flare up and erupt vigorously during the next 150 days. Major eruptions may occur in the deep South as well. AS QUOTED FROM SWVC: "As of the 11th of February, the Mt.
Erebus Volcano Observatory (MEVO) reports http://www.swvrc.org/cerupt.htm that
there has never been an eruption, or set of eruptions like this in the
recorded history of The
Current Color Code for WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THIS POINT: Anything on the Carib Plate (East, West,
North, or South) is in danger of major tectonic activity during the next 90
days, especially around the Perigeen New Moons. To this list I would add the Northern Arc
of the Pacific Rim of Fire, especially on AND THEN THERE IS EREBUS.
It appears likely to sustain a major eruption this year. SAINT

ash hazards: Wind
forecasts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
coupled with eruption models, show that any ash clouds that rise above the
crater rim today would drift westward. Potential
ash hazards to aviation: Under current eruptive conditions, any ash clouds produced are
unlikely to exceed 15,000 feet in altitude. Ashfall from such events rarely
reaches more than 20 miles downwind. If the lava dome continues to grow over
the next several months, it will become able to produce larger ash clouds
that reach higher altitudes and extend farther downwind. Recent
observations: A
scar on the west side of the lava dome roughly 100 m long and 50 m high marks
the source of the large rockfall event at 3 a.m. yesterday morning. Several
slabs of similar dimension are separating from the dome along widening cracks
and will likely be sources of future such events. The deposit from the
rockfall forms an apron of large blocks at the northwest base of the dome.
Yesterday field crews also dredged several samples from the surface of the
lava dome using a helicopter. Photographs will be posted on our web site
later this morning. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
