Earth Changes Bulletin Update As Of January 06
2005 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. You may click here for the full text of the Earth Changes Bulletin Update for this week, or
use this URL http://www.michaelmandeville.com/earthmonitor/ecbulletins/2005/ecb_Jan_06_05.htm EXCEPTIONAL WARNING Nearly all psychic and avocational quake predictors believe that
additional major tectonic activity is about to occur during the next few
weeks. As well, from January 7 through
17, the New Moon Syzygy will combine forces with the Solar Perihelion. You definitely should consider this to be a
dangerous time period for major quake and tsunami activity. This danger
period is immediate and probably extends through to the end of March 2005. COMING SOON - UPDATE
PREDICTIONS FOR 2005 – 2012 and through “The
Tribulations” BEGINNING ON FRIDAY, January 7, 2005 -
Alex Merklinger Radio at Mysteries
Of The Mind CONTINUING ON FRIDAY, January 14, 2004 –
Lou Gentile Radio at I am working
diligently on a systematic update 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”). 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, through Alex
Merklinger’s radio program, and through other radio appearances, such as the
Lou Gentile Show. FOR THIS YEAR OF THE GATHERING EMERGENCE: On the geophysical front, SOLAR activity has slowly abated this past two
weeks and today’s Sunspot Count was falling
through the bottom at 14 while the Solar Flux was sinking down to 84, a sure
sign of solar exhaustion. Not much rise
if any in solar activity and Sunspots is likely for the three way planetary alignments
on January 13. Accordingly, January’s
weather and human emotions will continue to be mainly geophysical. EL NINO MAY NOW BE
FORMING UP and become a factor in late Spring 2005 through the early
Winter of 2006 BUT THIS IS STILL NOT VERY CERTAIN AT THE MOMENT. MORE IMMEDIATELY, the North Pacific Hot Zone in the On the geopolitical
front,

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. |

UPDATE PREDICTIONS FOR
2005 – 2012 and through “The Tribulations” 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. SPONSORING: THE COMING ECONOMIC COLLAPSE OF 2006, which puts today, tomorrow, and the trends together into the Cayce 25 year economic cycle which will “bottom” in 2006/2007. Click here to download THIS BOOK STILL COOKS AND IT WILL COOK THE
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 JANUARY 6, 2006:
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
ALQAEDA STRIKES. BEWARE THE EMERGING SUPER-COALITION IN |

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. For those who have not yet gotten their “High Holy Happy
Khepera Ascension” card, Please Go Here. I love bringing back into consciousness the
ancient Egyptian symbolism, on which Western thought and most of the major
religious symbolism and concepts of the Semitic and Persian traditions are
based, as well as many of the key words and ideas of the Hindu traditions
which came forth through the Sanskrit language. There is enough beautiful Egyptian material
to deluge you so I will continue each Winter Solstice to send just a small
token. FOR 2005 IN GENERAL:
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. 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, it is going to
get increasing bad there and there is no end in sight until “the 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. |
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. ANATOMY OF THE 2004 GREAT RUPTURE OF THE INDO-TRENCH The outline of the wobble track on the map grid of the
world seems to show more clearly every week that the spiraling motion of the
North Spin Axis has indeed, as I have suspected for weeks, accelerated its
rate of drift. More, it is showing considerable
instability in moving through its spiraling track. Polar motion returned to its spiral track and is currently
spiraling tightly inward. OOPS, that was a couple of weeks ago. Now it is very lazily actually drifting
away from its X Min track (when the wobble is the smallest approximately
every seven years). It is also having a bad hair month – err, year. Its motion seems more unstable during this
past three months and does not appear to be “forming up” in a track
appropriate to its last six months of motion.
It currently appears to be “spreading” out into a wider spiral rather
than it typical. Take a look at the xplot chart and you will see the
beginning of the new outward, horizontal motion on the wave track. What is it
doing? It is always hard to generalize about these motions but I believe we
are currently seeing the “blowback” or “feedback” energy of the rupturing of
the Earth’s crust in the Indo-Trench. I believe
that the poles are now shifting (have been for the past few years) their ”average”
location more rapidly than during the previous century. This accelerated
drift is probably due to some mass imbalance in the Earth’s crust. This imbalance is being acted upon by
centrifugal motion of the Earth’s spin, which is changing the focal point of
the “wobble” in the spin. Then,
about 90 days ago, apparently the drift track of the wobble hit a vector of
mass resistance. This resistance was
strong enough to flatten the peak of its normal sine-wave spiraling motion in
what is called the Xplot of polar motion.
This plot is maintained by international cooperation to keep tabs on
the exact location of the North Spin Axis from day to day. Apparently,
the normal smooth motion of the Earth’s crust dipping over the theoretical
average location of the North Spin Axis toward the Pacific and then back
again down was arrested and cut off.
The entire Crust of the Earth was arrested in its Then the
normal motion seemed to begin to assert itself and the spiral began to turn
inward, as it should be doing at this time, closing toward the X Min point
where the wobble will be at its smallest size of its seven year cycle. I believe
this abnormal track of the wobble is one of the primary causes of the Great
Rupture in the Indo-Trench. The
connection and time parallelism between these two relatively abnormal events
is just too close to ignore as mere coincidence. And…the
parallelism gets better. Suddenly the motion of the North Spin Axis began to
flare out again this past few days, apparently shifting the focal point for
the entire wobble of the North Spin Axis. I do not
have enough of the numbers of actual polar motion (agreed upon and formally
reported) to be mathematically precise about this. The IERS generally cogitates on what it
will advance as the real numbers to make sure it corresponds will all
reports. It will be another month or so until enough real numbers are
available on table form to clearly see what may have been the feedback or
blowback effect. However, the IERS
Xplot is not nearly so shy and currently shows exactly what I am talking
about. The current, apparent out-flaring
“jiggle” in the Xplot has probably been created by the “ringing” or
oscillation of the Earth created by the Christmas Rupture of the Indo-Trench. 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.) 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. http://maia.usno.navy.mil/xplot2.gif http://maia.usno.navy.mil/yplot2.gif |

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. Currently, there is little of note. Despite many
claims, there are no apparent trends which will hold up to historical
analysis of many different regions of the Earth. |

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.” |

10-Jan 12:04 This

Day 06, the Moon this day is now deep in its South
Node (orbiting South of the Equator). It
is now approximately 370,000 KM from the Earth. It is 16% of the Full Moon
(visibility or phase) now waning into the New Moon of January 10. 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 Honsho 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. We are just about in the seismic New Moon Syzygy of January
7–14. This syzygy should be neither
weak nor strong compared to other Syzygies during the past year, using
strictly the logic of gravity influences between the Moon and the Earth. As we have seen this past few months, this is not always
the entire story. Hard to say what to
expect. However, in conjunction with
the Solar Perihelion which the Earth entered into this day, this New Moon
Syzygy may be far more potent than most. 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 before Christmas 2004. Unlike the week long aftershocks which continued to
strike the Indo- Trench, the Macquarie Sound quake was not accompanied by
aftershocks. This new quake may indicate another round of motion in the
Australian tectonic plate is beginning and thus this may be a signal that additional
rupturing will occur along the Northern and Western edges of the Australian
plate and/or directly once again along the Indo-Trench. However, during the past 24 hours, seismic activity
has fallen off dramatically in entire world's seismic activity was exclusively
focused along the Indo-Trench, quake activity has fallen there and
appears at the moment to be building up in the Accordingly, at this moment, the tectonic signals
are mixed. As well, cosmic signals are mixed, but cosmic forces
will shortly consolidate gravitational influences to exert
nearly maximum torque effects on the Earth. The Great Indo-Trench rupture occurred during a
Full Moon Syzygy as the Earth was approaching very close to its annual
orbital Perihelion (closest approach to the Sun). At the moment the Moon is
between syzygies (alignment of the Earth-Moon-Sun in a straight line) during which
quake activity usually abates to a considerable extent. However, the Earth is
still approaching its orbital Perihelion, which will be about January 6. At Earth's Perihelion, the Sun will have its
maximum gravitational effect on the Earth, pulling most strongly on the
Southern Hemisphere, tending to pull the Australian plate UP towards the
equator where it is colliding with areas such as the Indo-Trench. This influence will be greatly magnified by the New
Moon Syzygy during January 7 through to January 14. The New
Moon on January 10 will be very close to halfway between Apogee and Perigee
(its closest approach to the Earth) in a straight line with the Sun. This
will create a very strong gravitational pulling force on the crust of the Earth
during the current annual cycle. This pulling of the Moon and the Sun will
combine a pull of the South to the North against the Equator with an East to
West pull of all continents against their adjacent oceanic floors. Since the Carib Plate is nearly on the Equator and
will be squeezed especially strongly during this coming syzygy, along with
the entire Northern Arc of the Australian Tectonic Plate, ranging from the Solomon
Islands through to the Nicobar Islands, major rupturing could also occur in
Central America down through Peru. At somewhat lesser risk may be the Northern Arc of the
Pacific Rim of Fire but the current build up of seismic activity in the
region may be signaling much more activity to come during the next two weeks.
The most destructive quake activity during the last 15 years in Adding to this mix of strong forces and potential
major tectonic motions is a complex set of planetary alignments
which appear to cluster most strongly around January 13. One of
these alignments is a straight line between the Sun, Earth, and Saturn.
Though the gravitational impact of this is not significant (theoretically) on
Earth, the electromagnetic impact of these alignments is often very strong on
both the Sun (in the form of major sunspots, CME's, flares, and solar wind
disturbances) and the Earth's weather (which is strongly modified by any
increase in solar activity). Accordingly, some increase in solar activity is to
be expected during the next several days. These increases will likely drive
another round of major storm fronts to hit major continents. These may in
turn increase the probability of increased tectonic activity. Some
geophysicists have been speculating in recent years that these solar storms
and major weather fronts on Earth have an indirect impact on stimulating an
increase in tectonic activity through an increase in drag forces against the
Earth's crust and by making the normal slight wobbling motion of the Earth
more irregular than normal. These fluctuations may cause shifts in the stress
in earthquake faults, pushing some of them "over the edge". Adding to this mixture are a large number of
warnings from most people who watch the Earth's tectonic activity
avocationally or who tune into it psychically. Most "tripwires" seem
to believe that additional major "events" are on the way
during the next 30 days. Accordingly,
given the constellation of 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 30 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 THROUGH TO JUNE 30, 2005 For late December 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 Aphelion At or near the Earth’s Apogee (closest approach to the
Sun) Mercury will once again align progressively with the inner planets
during a 30 day period. Expect an INTENSELY

PLANET WATCHING For background and the current information on
observable planets. NASA REPORTS: Comet Machholz (C/2004 Q2) has been nearing Earth for weeks, brightening day by day, and now it looks like a fuzzy 5th-magnitude star near the feet of Orion. Look for it in the southeastern sky a few hours after sunset: sky map. Astronomers expect Comet Machholz to reach peak brightness (3rd or 4th magnitude) in January 2005--an easy target for Christmas telescopes. [ephemeris] NASA'S

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 22 Dec
2004 there were 662 known Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (three more than last
month). For January 2005, NASA has listed three Earth-asteroid encounters
ranging from 14 to 15 LD’s away (see below).
Notes: LD is a "Lunar
Distance." 1 LD = 384,401 km, the distance between Earth and the Moon.

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. AS OF JANUARY 6: The Sunspot Count has bobbed
up and down between 11 and 60 for the past three weeks and is currently
sinking downward at 14 today. The
Index of Solar Flux is 83 today and also sinking. Apparently, we have seen most of the
solar activity peak for the first constellation of planetary alignments in
January. We may see another peak yet during the next few days, but it is not
likely to be a spectacular rise. Solar Cycle 23 is dying quickly NOW. HOWEVER, MERCURY AND JUPITOR ARE PROBABLY
THE TWO LARGEST INFLUENCES ON THE SUN, MERCURY BECAUSE OF ITS CLOSENESS AND
JUPITER BECAUSE OF ITS IMMENSE SIZE.
THEIR COMBINED INFLUENCE MAY GIVE US QUITE A WALLOP IN SUNSPOTS, SOLAR
FLARES, MAGNETIC STORMS, AND INTENSE STORM FRONTS ON EARTH. Following the Jupiter alignment,
Mercury aligns with Mars on January 13 while Earth and Saturn align and Venus
and Pluto cluster close. Date Flux

14 30 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 is
27, so if we notice an increase during the next few weeks, it will just be
the law of averages asserting itself. AS
PREVIOUSLY OBSERVED: Once again we are
reminded that 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. But
even so 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. |

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 The Solar Wind was very mild
at: 489.9 km/s this hour while pushing a very thin
density of 0.6 protons/cm3”. Solar
activity is at a very low ebb...THE OUTLOOK FOR THE NEXT TWO DAYS IS FOR VERY LITTLE ACTIVITY. Activity will
probably pick up for the Earth | Saturn alignment. Fluxgate Magnetometer: The Fluxgate Chart at the University of Alaska (which measures magnetic disturbances in the Earth’s atmosphere created by solar winds and ion storms) is showing virtually a FLAT LINE (as of this time, about 2 PM Mountain time US). To see the Fluxgate moment to moment, CLICK HERE. NASA NASA REPORTS: “Sunspot 715 has decayed almost completely since it
unleashed an X-class solar flare on January 1st.” NASA PREDICTS: “A solar wind stream flowing from the indicated coronal
hole might hit Earth's magnetic field on January 9th or 10th.” There is a 5-30% probability of geomagnetic
storms, 1%-5% probability on coronal holes, CME’s, and M and/or X Class
Flares. Jan
Alvestad reports: “The geomagnetic field was inactive to unsettled on January 6.
Solar wind speed ranged between 478 and 583 km/sec, generally decreasing all
day. Solar flux measured at 20h UTC on 2.8 GHz was 83.2. The planetary A
index was 4 (STAR Ap - based on the mean of three hour interval ap indices:
3.9)...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 10715 decayed slowly and had two tiny spots left at
midnight, the region could become spotless today...January 6: No obvious
fully or partly Earth directed CMEs were observed.” Jan
Alvestad predicts: “A recurrent coronal hole in the southern hemisphere will
likely be in a geoeffective position on January 6-7. The associated high
speed stream could become geoeffective on January 9 or 10...The geomagnetic
field is expected to be quiet to unsettled on January 7. A weak CME impact is
possible and could cause occasional active intervals. A more significant CME
is likely to arrive on January 8 and may cause unsettled to minor storm
conditions. Quiet to active is possible on January 9 due to this CME and the
arrival of a coronal hole flow from CH138.” Alvestad also predicts for the
next 24 hours a 20-60% probability of coronal holes, a 60-100% 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. WELL WELL
WELL…MAYBE YOU WOULD PREFER THE SUNSPOT INDUCED MID-LATITUDE MARINE STORM FRONTS
OF THE PAST YEAR? ISN’T THIS
CONTINENTAL POLAR INDUCED STORM FRONT WORSE FOR THE MIDWESTERN,
All came weather came about as I predicted. Much more on the way…but for this I am
merely listening to the weathermen.
The sun’s input in irrelevant.
It is back to old-fashioned ocean temperatures, jet streams, and polar
conditions. AND THEY ARE WACKY THIS WINTER. I think the weather patterns pretty much
prove up the case of Global Warming and reveal what the essential syndrome is
going to be. AN INTENSE COLD WET WINTER, and perhaps a short one as per
the Global Warming Syndrome I have been suggesting. 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. The Pacific Southwest is clearly going to get a I am not sure what this says about Global Warming, but it
says a lot about the Pacific Southwest.
I have been wondering about how the Pacific Southwest could show so
many extreme erosion patterns with such little rainfall this past five
years. I have just seen more erosion
and shifts of earth in the “dry washes” in the past month than I have seen in
the past four years. 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. COLD WET, LOTS OF RAIN AND SNOW, TWO MORE MARINE FRONTS ON
THE WAY FOR 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. THE WARM
WATER PATCH IN THE NORTH PACIFIC ( I cannot
explain it but it surely has broken the drought pattern for the Pacific
Southwest and As of
December 26, the warm water in the North Pacific ( THIS
“LOOP” OF COURSE PUSHES ACROSS NORTH AMERICA AS A STABLE STRUCTURE AND THEN
IS FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER I SUSPECT
THE WARM PATCH IN THE GULF OF ALASKA THIS THE WINTER IS GOING TO DRIVE THIS
PATTERN CONTINUOUSLY, MAKING WINTER VERY INTENSE IN COLD AND PRECIPITATION,
ESPECIALLY IN THE HIGH ELEVATIONS THROUGH AT LEAST JANUARY. EXPECT TO
GET SNOWED-IN DURING JANUARY FOR A SPELL IF YOU LIVE IN THE HIGH ELEVATIONS. HAH! I
DID. The day I was scheduled to return
to KEEP
WATCHING FOR GLOBAL WEATHER PATTERN: Global Warming could
easily intensify the seasons, making a short bitterly cold Winter, longer
intermediate stormy Spring and Fall seasons, and shorter but very hot and dry
summers. Don’t we already see this pattern at work in the Northern
Hemisphere? 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. Brrrr…it
is cold here as well. But the
grass is growing everywhere…and flowers bloom on the Sonoran despite the cold. AS PREVIOUSLY OBSERVED:
The past 60 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 AS OF
DECEMBER 26, conditions along the Pacific Equator continued to WARM SLIGHTLY. The trend is still very weak. El Nino may not occur. No prediction one way or the other is
possible at the current moment. BUT, as of
December 26, conditions for El Nino are a little stronger than the preceding
couple of weeks. 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
April 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. |

KEEP WATCHING THE ARCTIC, ANTARCTIC, and
the desert zones. These areas are the most objective front line observatories
of the climate shift. |
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 and the Earth
Changes Bulletin Update As Of August 18, 2004 AS PREVIOUSLY OBSERVED:
It is now clear that a “wet winter” is well under way for almost all
of North America and At the moment it would be hard to think that the area is
in a drought period, but it is very clear that the area, like much of the
planet, is experiencing some pretty weird unseasonable climate patterns. Where all this is going only the wind can tell... AS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED ABOUT THE LIKELY IMPACT OF GLOBAL

IONIZING SOLAR ACTIVITY & MASS BEHAVIOR AS OBSERVED LAST WEEK:
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 does not favor the Imperial Faction and the Sorcerers
in the Mass Broadcast Smokescreen Industry.
The strength of the emotional associations which they rely upon to
program mass behavior will have less and less power during the next four
years. 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 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. They are waking up to a
wicked hangover in bed with a very ugly mess. This shift
is palpable and will grow in magnitude and depth. The Imperial Faction will stall out rapidly
during 2005, it is increasingly unlikely that they will have their way in the

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 Like the previous Christmas Week, by far the greater part
of the world’s seismic energy above 3.0 for the last seven days continued to
be expressed around the Northwestern margin of the Australian Tectonic Plate,
mainly in the Indo-Trench. But
activity began to spread during the last several days to Shape-shifting produced four modest quakes (4.4 – 5.5) in
the Great Rift of the Earth. There
were no clear patterns except the continued shaking in the Indo-Trench.. COSA NOSTRA DAMUS WATCH FOR AS PREVIOUSLY

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

optimistic projections appear to be in the nature of “holding” firm with
small improvements. The worst
expectations are dire indeed. I predict that most of the expectations will turn sour
after May or June. I also predict that
they will become more and more morose as the economy begins to show a rapid
movement into recession during the later part of the year and then clearly
moves into depression in 2006. STAGFLATION IS BUILDING MOMENTUM FOR A
CONSIDERABLE RISE DURING 2005. COMMODITY
PRICES WILL CLIMB RAPIDLY DURING 2005 TO CATCH UP WITH THE HUGE INCREASE IN
ENERGY COSTS (UP SOME 30% THIS YEAR).
This will generate a pernicious inflation in The economy will never regain any sense
of confidence in government efforts to build the basis for more solid
growth. The Bush administration will
continue to lose credibility, will come under severe legal pressure from wide
ranging indictments, perhaps even impeachment proceedings (long overdue), and
this gathering loss of political confidence will destroy corporate
confidence. This loss of confidence may be
experienced first in Europe and AS OBSERVED IN DECEMBER:
With the re-election of George Bush a completely new scenario for the
next two years is needed. It is this: the
main driving force of the economy will transition fully into an Imperial
economy. It will be based on major
militarization of the A massive empire building drive to export “Order” over the
greater portion of the world’s petroleum reserves will shore up the value of
the petro dollar quite nicely and preserve its hegemony well through the
“peak oil” period. Huge expenditures
on armaments should provide a continuing stimulus of the North American
economy, enough to at least keep it gimping along while the Empire is consolidated. The eventual eclipse of well oil poses no long term
problem. Only naïve analysts are
worried. Once oil supply is seriously
declining and oil prices can be maintained above $80/barrel, some people in
the oil industry, including David Rockefeller, understand the means of
“growing” your own. They have held the
secrets of this for some 23 years. THE ONLY BUMP ON THE ROAD TO THE IMPERIAL ECONOMY is
“global warming”. This is bringing
people into other solutions than the use of oil. Is this not a course of development the
cabals of great wealth in BACKGROUNDERS
FOR JANUARY ON THE STATE OF THE Associated Press Retailers Report Unimpressive Dec. Sales Thursday January 6, 4:18 pm ET By Anne D'Innocenzio, AP Business Writer Nation's Retailers Report Generally
Unimpressive Sales Figures for It was hard to discern a trend Thursday as
merchants reported December sales, the final assessment of the holiday
season. Costco Wholesale Corp., Target Corp., teen retailer Abercrombie &
Fitch Co., Federated Department Stores Inc., and upscale stores like Neiman
Marcus Group Inc. all surpassed Wall Street projections but Sears, Roebuck
and Co., Gap Inc., Pier 1 Imports Inc. and May Department Stores Co. were
among the disappointments. Wal-Mart Stores Inc., which stepped up
discounting after a slow start to the season, posted a decent but not
outstanding 3 percent rise in same-store sales, or sales at stores open at
least a year. That was a slightly higher than Wall Street's forecast. "The Christmas season was just OK, clearly
salvaged by the last-minute shoppers and steep discounting," said Ken
Perkins, an analyst at RetailMetrics LLC, a research firm in Perkins noted that two-thirds of the 65 retailers
that reported sales Thursday beat Wall Street's modest sales estimates, a
reversal of November's results. But the heavy discounting needed to bring
consumers into stores came at the expense of profits, prompting retailers
including Target and Pier 1 to cut fourth-quarter earnings projections,
according to Todd S. Slater, a retail analyst at Lazard Freres & Co. The International Council of Shopping
Centers-UBS same-store sales tally of 77 retailers for December rose 2.7
percent, which was below the already reduced forecast of 3 percent to 3.5
percent. That means same-store sales for the combined
November-December period were up 2.3 percent, below the 2.5 percent to 3
percent forecast, according to Michael P. Niemira, chief economist at the
association. November's final same-store sales tally was up a slim 1.8
percent. The holiday performance was weaker than the 4.0
percent gain posted in 2003, and in line with the holiday 2000 and 2001
seasons, which averaged a 2.3 percent gain. Still, as Niemira noted, the holiday season
"had a lot of things going on," making it difficult to measure its
success. The season was marked by the increasing popularity of gift cards,
sales of which are not recorded until consumers redeem them, and the
increasing popularity of online shopping, which is are not included in
retailers' same-store results. Online sales for the November and December
period rose a better-than-expected 29 percent to $15.8 billion, according to
comScore Networks Inc. The season had an uneven start at Thanksgiving,
prompting many merchants to step up discounts, but consumers didn't start
shopping seriously until the week before Christmas. The surprise this season
came the week after Christmas, when many stores saw a bigger-than-expected
bump from the redemption of gift cards. At apparel retailer Ann Taylor Stores Corp.,
sales "were better than we had anticipated given November's weak
performance, with most of the improvement coming in week five" of the
season, chairman J. Patrick Spainhour said in a statement. American Eagle Outfitters Inc., which reported
a better-than-expected 32.8 percent same-store sales increase on Wednesday,
said same-store sales soared 90 percent in the week after Christmas compared
to a year earlier. Although procrastination has become the norm
during the holidays, consumers' uneasiness contributed to their late shopping
-- they were looking for marked-down merchandise. While gasoline prices have
fallen, they are still high, and consumers, particularly low- and
middle-income Americans, have cut spending on non-essentials. Many consumers
are also worried about job security. The Labor Department underscored the uneven
nature of the labor market Thursday, reporting that the number of new people
signing up for jobless benefits shot up last week. New applications filed for
unemployment insurance increased by a seasonally adjusted 43,000 to 364,000,
the highest level since late September. The unimpressive holiday performance raised
questions about consumers' ability to spend in 2005, as factors like an
uncertain job market and high fuel prices are not going away. Rising interest
rates will also add to consumers' expenses. "Consumer spending moving forward has a
weak tone," said Anthony Chan, senior economist with J.P. Morgan Fleming
Asset Management in Wal-Mart had to work hard to generate
December's 3 percent same-store sales gain, which was at the high end of the
company's projections, and higher than the 2.3 percent forecast by Wall
Street analysts in a survey by Thomson First Call. Target had a 5.1 percent gain in same-store
sales, better than the 4.2 percent estimate. Costco had a 9 percent increase in same-store
sales, better than the TJX Cos. Inc. reported a 6 percent same-store
sales gain, above the 2.8 percent forecast. "In general, Christmas
business surged late in December, as we had expected," Edmond J.
English, president and chief executive officer, said in a statement. Among department stores, upscale merchants did
the best. Neiman Marcus enjoyed a 10.8 percent increase in same-store sales,
better than the 7.9 percent forecast. But Sears suffered a 3.0 percent same-store
sales decline in its domestic business, while Wall Street's forecast 0.2
percent. "Relatively strong sales at the end of the holiday shopping
season were insufficient to offset a slow start to the month," said Alan
J. Lacy, chairman and CEO, in a statement. Penney had a 1.2 percent decline in same-store
sales, better than the Federated had a 2.3 percent increase in
same-store sales, better than the 1.1 percent forecast. May had a 3.3 percent same-store sales decline,
close to the 3.5 percent estimate. Among apparel chains, Limited Brands Inc. had a
modest 2 percent same-store sales gain, better than the 1.4 percent forecast.
Gap had a 1 percent same-store sales decline, worse than Wall Street's 0.1
percent projection. Pier 1 suffered an 8.8 percent decline in
same-store sales. Analysts had expected a 4.3 percent decline. Teen retailers generally did well. Pacific
Sunwear of California Inc. had a 5.3 percent same-store sales increase; Wall
Street expected 4.0 percent. Abercrombie & Fitch had a 10 percent gain
in same-store sales, much higher than the 0.7 percent estimate. On Wednesday, Nordstrom Inc. reported a
same-store sales gain of 9.3 percent, better than the 3.6 percent forecast. Jobless Claims Climb, Retail Sales Mixed Thu Jan 6, 2:00 PM ET By JEANNINE The Labor Department (news - web sites)
reported Thursday that new applications filed for unemployment insurance
jumped by a seasonally adjusted 43,000 to 364,000, the highest level since
late September. The over-the-week increase of 43,000 was the most since the
end of March 2002. The latest snapshot of the labor market
activity surprised economists. They were forecasting claims to rise last week
to around 331,000. However, in a more positive note, the number of
claims that had been filed in the prior week turned out to have fallen by
10,000, according to revised figures. That drop was twice as big as initially
reported. "Even though we are in an expansion phase,
the jobless claims statistics continue to come in very choppy," said
Richard Yamarone, economist at Argus Research. The more stable, four-week moving average of
claims, which smooths out week-to-week fluctuations, rose last week by a
smaller 750 to 333,000. Labor Department analysts cautioned that
jobless claims figures around the holidays can swing widely from week to
week. In these cases, the four-week moving average is sometimes a better
barometer of labor market activity, they said. On Wall Street, investors took the latest
figures on jobless claims in stride. The Dow Jones industrials were up 42
points in morning trading. In other economic news, consumers — the
lifeblood of the economy — spent decently during the holiday shopping season. Last-minute shoppers gave retailers overall a
respectable 2004 holiday season, with a variety of stores from discounters to
apparel sellers reporting better than expected sales, according to reports
from the nation's retailers. Costco Wholesale Corp., Target Corp. and
upscale merchants like Neiman Marcus Group Inc. all surpassed Wall Street projections.
But disappointments included Pier 1 Imports Inc. and jeweler Zale Corp. On the labor market front, strengthening job
creation has been an important task for President Bush (news - web sites).
The still-recovering job market has been seized upon by Democrats who contend
the president's economic policies have failed to induce a steady hiring spree
by businesses. Employers added 112,000 jobs in November, down
from 303,000 in October. Economists, however, are hoping for a pickup in
December's payrolls and are forecasting the addition of around 175,000 jobs
during the month. The jobless rate is expected to hold steady at 5.4 percent.
The employment report for December will be released by the government on
Friday. Looking ahead, the Bush administration predicts
the economy will create an additional 2.1 million jobs in 2005 — a figure
private economists called respectable. Still, that's a much lower estimate
than a previous forecast that 3.6 million jobs would be created next year. The Federal Reserve (news - web sites),
encouraged by the economy's performance, boosted short-term interest rates
for a fifth time this year on Dec. 14. Fed policy-makers at that meeting said
"labor market conditions continue to improve gradually." The number of people continuing to collect
jobless benefits, meanwhile, rose by 61,000 to 2.84 million for the week
ending Dec. 25, the most recent period for which that information is
available. However, compared to last year, there's been improvement. A year
ago, the figure stood at 3.30 million. Separately, the percentage of credit card
payments 30 or more days past due dipped to 4.26 percent in the third
quarter, from 4.28 percent in the second quarter, the American Bankers
Association reported Thursday. However, the delinquency rate on a composite of
other types of consumer loans, including auto loans and home equity loans,
rose to 1.90 percent in the third quarter, the highest in a year. "Consumer pocketbooks still felt the pinch
of elevated gas prices, draining resources that would otherwise have been
available to meet financial obligations," said James Chessen, the
association's chief economist. GENERAL PREDICTION DJI
AVERAGES The bubble is rising
steadily. The DJI finished January Day
06 at 10622.88, down
about $200 from the Christmas week high, and even down from the high on December 15 at 10,691.45. THE MARKET
will hover here and then fall for a while in January until the market absorbs
the psychological shock of the somewhat depressed Christmas Season. The Jive-Ass division of Amalgamated Mass
News Sorcery Inc. is busy spinning
increased retail sales volumes as “recovery”, but enormous quantities of
goods were sold at virtually no profit and loan defaults are already up…there
is no recovery here and thus no reason to place your bet with the DON’T
EXPECT ANYTHING HIGHER THIS YEAR.
AS
OBSERVED DURING 2004: WATCH THIS VERY CAREFULLY – WAR
IN THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE PRIMARY FACTOR DRIVING OIL UP IN PRICE AND
ACCELERATING THE DECLINE IN THE DOLLAR.
The dollar of course is a major factor. As the dollar drops AND the stock values
remain constant, MAIN
OVER-RIDING STRATEGIC VARIABLE: The main weakness in the international economy is that THE
BUSH ADMINISTRATION IS SO INCOMPETENT THAT NO INTERNATIONAL ACTOR KNOWS HOW
TO BE RATIONAL AND MAKE REAL DECISIONS.
EVERYTHING IS HEDGED AND HIDDEN.
All news on the war fronts is terrible. BUT, WORLD
CONFIDENCE MAY IMPROVE FOR A WHILE if a Shiite coalition can take power in
Iraq through the elections and motivate Bush to substantially withdraw
American troops. EURO WATCH
- DOLLAR VALUE FIRMED UP, BUT WILL WEAKEN
WITH RENEWED OIL PRICE INCREASES The dollar closed today at 0.7586 per euro, up a full penny from two weeks ago. We can see now the very clear relationship
between oil prices and stock prices and dollar value. Oil up, stock up, dollar down. Oil down, stock down, dollar up. Pressures against the American Imperial Faction are still
mounting and will slowly erode the dollar during 2005. “As oil goes up, the dollar will tend also to go
down against the Euro.” PREDICTION CONFIRMED SO FAR: Don’t expect much drop for the remainder of
the year. The dollar may actually gain
a bit for a brief time, but not much and not for long. Thus in general, expect a steady if slow creep of prices
upward all through 2005, with faster relative increases for some basic
commodities and imports to reflect rapidly rising international costs, which
will still accelerate in response to the rise in energy costs this past six
months. MUST READ: “The Dollar
Panics” in “The Coming Economic Collapse of 2006”,
which lays out the dynamics of what is happening LATEST OVERVIEW ON OIL: As of January 6, 2005 The high price points at the pump established last Fall look
permanent. It does not look like
retail prices will ever again be South of where they currently are. We are going to have a pretty vigorous STAGFLATION
for 2005 and average wholesale prices are likely to continue an upward drift,
somewhere in the range of 10% to 30%, with transitory peaks in the range of
last year’s $55. Perhaps even higher,
if the oil industry is disrupted by Al Qaeda or other terrorist groups. HIGH PRICE PRESSURES CAN NO LONGER BE RESISTED BECAUSE ALL
OF THE WORLD POLITICAL STRUGGLES ARE NOW POLARIZING AROUND THE STRUGGLE FOR
OIL. Oil has become in the minds of
all those seeking power as THE ONLY SOURCE OF POWER in the world today. Associated Press Oil Prices Shoot Above $45 Per
Barrel Thursday January 6, 5:01 pm ET By Brad Foss, AP Business Writer Oil Prices Shoot Up 5 Percent,
Close Above $45 Per Barrel After an Early Spurt of Buying Oil prices shot up 5 percent Thursday
and closed above $45 a barrel after an early spurt of buying created momentum
that forced investors anticipating lower prices to cover their bets. Analysts said there was no single
spark that got the rally going. Instead, they suggested that the move higher
merely signals the persistent skittishness in the market, stemming from
strong demand, tight supplies and fears about instability in "Not a lot has changed from
when we were $10 a barrel higher than where we are now," said Tom Bentz,
a broker at BNP Paribas Commodity Futures in "And heating oil inventories
are still on the low side," he added. "At some point, the weather
is going to get colder." Light sweet crude for February delivery
soared $2.17 to settle at $45.56 a barrel on the New York Mercantile
Exchange. February heating oil futures surged 6.29 cents to $1.2813 per
gallon, while February gasoline ended 5.19 cents higher at $1.2229 a gallon. In "We have a great deal of
investment funds that are trading crude oil right now, a lot of end users
that are hedging in the market and producers in the Far East that are trading
in crude," said James Cordier, president of Liberty Trading Group in St.
Petersburg, Fla. "We get to where we're going a lot faster than we used
to." Cordier said there was considerable
resistance for Nymex crude at the $44 a barrel level, but that once that was
surpassed, prices moved higher very fast. On Wednesday, oil prices fell after
a The U.S. Energy Department's statistical
arm reported Wednesday that supplies of distillate fuel, which include
heating oil and diesel, grew by 2 million barrels last week to 121.1 million
barrels. The increase was much higher than expected, though it still leaves
inventories 11 percent below year ago levels, according to the Energy
Information Administration. High-sulfur distillates used for
heating oil increased by 1.2 million barrels to 50.1 million barrels, about 9
percent below year ago levels. While oil prices are well below the
late October high above $55 a barrel, traders remain wary about tight heating

SIGN OF THE TIMES: Ken Lay, who is now widely described as the biggest corporate swindler of all time, is still scott free. (ONE OF THE WORST ECONOMIC TERRORISTS OF ALL TIME). But now finally after waiting for two or so years, Lay has been indicted. Notice the timing, near the end of the first term of the Bush Administration. At this time I will hazard the guess that he will be pardoned by Bush during the final days of his administration, probably December of this year. ANOTHER NEARLY EQUAL SIGN OF THE TIMES: The lawyers who have been settling the Enron collapse for all parties, are billing the remaining net assets of Enron for approximately $1 billion for their services. This is a new heavenly-ordained definition for the term Chutzpah. I CALL IT CLASS ECONOMIC TERRORISM. |
POLITICAL WATCH For general overview on the Tragedy in All of the activity of 2004 gave
us the “lowest possible outcome” of all
choices. We are stooping along smartly
onto the pages of history: More probable than not....another
four years of political struggle, bitterness, the loss of more political and
individual rights, continued declassing and economic deterioration, and a
growing general civil upheaval which takes many forms…in the midst of a
nation which is virtually ostracized from most of the remainder of the
world…and the forces of Jihad reaching greater ascendancy in the
Middle-East.” Many who would will a great
change are depressing in deep pessimism. Despite a year of exposing the grave
crimes of the Imperial Faction and the incompetence of their President, a
majority of Americans WHO VOTE refuse to believe that conditions have become
so corrupt. They insist on drawing
their blinders more tightly around their favorite illusions. In this they are so well aided
and abetted by a crony Mass Broadcast Media which has chosen to abjectly
shill the fantasies and delusions of an upper class bubble of “attitude” - domination. Mass Merchant Media Sorcery of Domination Uber Alles, despite massive
evidence of grevious abuses of all previous norms and standards of human
decency in the conduct of war and treatment of prisoners along with the
clearest evidence to surface in over 40 years of pervasive vote fraud to
steal the national elections. THE BIGGEST STORY OF
2004 AND THE “CRONIES OF THE YEAR” ARE THE CROOKS WHO CONTROL THE Thus, for a time yet, important truths
must remain an orphan in the street. Unfortunately
the orphan is getting the crap pounded out of it by Republicrat Mobsters and
it most likely will not survive a bitter winter. It remains possible that
Votescam 2004 could break out a line of investigation which, like Watergate
1972, leads to the highest offices and forces a complete change in who is sitting
in the White House. Bush may be broken by the
VOTESCAM scandals, but at this point I doubt it. He may “rule” until the bitter end. Nobody
will prosecute the crimes!!!! Nixon’s thieving trickery and lies were
ultimately broken by Congress, when finally leading Republicans realized that
they couldn’t hide away his crookedness and obvious abuse of power. ANY ATTEMPT TO HIDE WAS MET WITH A LOUD AND
RAUCUS CATCALL FROM NEARLY ALL CORNERS OF THE MEDIA. IF THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATS WILL NOT STEP
UP TO THE PLATE AT THIS JUNCTURE AND DEAL IN CONGRESS WITH THE OBVIOUS SCAMS,
THERE IS NOT MUCH HOPE OF AVOIDING WHATEVER BUSH AND COMPANY DECIDE TO IMPOSE
ON THE REST OF US DURING THE NEXT FOUR YEARS. |

|
A new media now arrives, floating down the river Iway, and
with it comes a new consciousness of the world and the lies which have driven
so much of the past 50 years…. From this, the future will arise as the old world slowly
collapses. All else is fluid, in transition. Thank God Almighty! |
THE STRATEGIC SITUATION – Final
Synopsis CONDITIONS IN ARE IN EXTREME CRISIS The entire world continues to witness the American impasse
in The damage is done, the strategic condition is fatal, Despite the looming loss and
collapse, we can already see at work
the aggressive moves of the Imperial Faction to ready the A major consolidation of power
is now underway. The new CIA director, who is assuming de facto control of
all Porter Goss is George Herbert Walker Bush’s old Skull and
Bones Yale frat buddy from way back in the days when the CIA WAS Skull and
Bones…who do you think is now in fact running the CIA once again? People who believe in extreme secrecy in
very discrete service to the inner circles of a small aristocracy of entitled
people. If you think we are shut out
now, you t’aint seen nuttin yet. Thus in certain ways, “Poppy” is back in the saddle again…the Bush Crime
Family, its plutocratic allies, and the Imperial Faction is closer than ever
with dominance over the CIA, NSA, the Pentagon, the FBI. What is government, what is corporate, and
what is Bush Crime Family is no longer discernible. And still invisible are the great fortunes
who sponsor many of the institutions and political/ media foot soldiers who
are advancing the cause of fascist plutocracy everywhere. A major turnover in the CIA will soon stuff it with Yassha
Men. And the same fate is in store for
the State Department under the diktat of Condeleeza Rice. The international competence of the Meanwhile the semi-tragic Powell
falls by the wayside and all of the powers of the State Department are
brought directly into the control of the Imperial Faction through the
appointment of Condeleeza Rice as Secretary Of State. The one true act of service Powell could
give the country and the world would be to reveal the truth of the past 40
years, beginning with his conduct in Vietnam while white-washing My Lai. If the fool could find it in himself to fall
on his sword he could find a true grace in history’s remembrance. But I suspect that the man is too
conflicted in bogus cants to get anything right. He will leave the stage of history as a
thoroughly discredited liar and fool, even if he retains a good enough
schtick to fleece right wing evangelical and business groups for tens of
thousands per “motivational” speech. The departure of Ashcroft is
extremely bad news. Ashcroft was crazy
but his replacement is insane, a deep core sociopath who finds nothing to
dislike in Nazi-like rationales for hidden torture chambers and Soviet style
gulags in which people disappear forever.
Shades of the Gestapo and Heinrich Himmler,
now Bush gives us for Attorney General the man who wrote the legal doctrines
for Al Ghraib, Gitmo, and other sociopath hidey holes for nouveau torture. Oh how he lies.
His latest schtick is to deny all.
Just like the Nazi’s did at Nuremburg after the War. “Oh no, it wasn’t me.” “Oh no, I would not wish to violate the
laws”. But it was him. And he did conspire so to do.. The As these prime players and
others are moved into position, the Imperial Faction consolidates its control
with or without the understanding of George Bush. With only slight luck, they will be able
to appoint “made men” into the Supreme Court and complete a generational
seizure of all aspects of the U.S. Government. Working with their key allies in
the Black Arts Nation and the hidden cabal of plutocratic families on the
East Coast which predominately controls it, inner groups will be able to
employ even more aggressively their gangs of right wing street enforcers to
intimidate independent media and naive people at various non-violent
demonstrations while creating bogus “violence” to bad rap the demonstrators. As well, they will have even greater
ability to shut off the political careers of upstarts who promote the wrong
issues and agendas. And if they get away with the
theft of the current elections by hacking the voting machines and the
electronic process of tabulating the totals together, it is doubtful that
most crucial elections in the country will ever be “won” by the majority of
people again. All in all, the year 2004/05 is
parallel with approx. 1934/35. The fascist nightmare in As previously observed, as a consequence of the widely
unexpected Bush reelection, several massive reaction waves have been set in
motion. One of the most important
reaction waves is among political state policymakers throughout …Not since the production of technology was
outsourced. (You dumb clucks)… Another reaction wave is at a more fundamental human
level. The increasing violence in Falluja, which the Sorcerers in the Mass Broadcast Media
tout as a great victory, provides little sense of confidence. There cannot be said to be a victory when
one successfully slaughters all the fish in a barrel with a machine gun. One
speaks in terms of butchery, not victory. Scenes from Falluja appear to reveal that
the U.S. military still confuses saving a city with destroying it…more and
more glimpses of MyLai can be seen as hyped up, drugged up, hair-trigger
soldiers shoot at anything that moves…more and more the ceaseless propaganda
phrases of surgical strikes, precision targeting, highly disciplined, highly
skilled operations can be seen largely for what it is, wishful thinking by
incompetent pipe-dreamers in Washington DC which ends up as unmitigated
horseshit in operation. And every soldier past and present knows and understands….sadly
some of them are so confused they think they like it. It most certainly seems fair to conclude that a discredited
Army engagement doctrine pounds away at densely settled urban zones with
exceptional violence. The results please no one and simply increase the
polarization of world dynamic forces into greater opposition. The time is quickly coming when the
American military simply is not going to be welcome anywhere at any level in
most of the world. And the answer for all this is at least partly obvious, an
extremely self-centered piker too cheap to do real war…using high explosives
and extreme fear (instead of skill and people) to pacify and occupy a country
without a clue to how real men have successfully conducted pacification
operations in peace among many peoples in many places and times. The damage is done… THE MAIN OBSTACLE TO PEACE IN IRAQ AND THE MIDDLE EAST ARE
THE AMERICANS AND THEIR STUPID AND INEFFECTUAL INTERFERENCES which are about
as successful as Bottom line: All the King’s Men got mugged by
a swindling crook named Chalabi, who sold the New World Order Emperor the
